Rise In Calradia
Chapter 206: : City attribution
On the way back, Byron repeatedly inspected the newly-added mountain troops and evaluated their combat effectiveness based on their previous combat performance.
It seems that the mountain people’s troops are messy and poorly equipped, and because of the excessive internal bandit elements, the discipline is loose and they don’t listen to orders. In the last battle, they did not attack until Byron’s troops attacked. It can also be seen that they are against Byron Don't trust, although this is common sense.
However, the mountain people's fighting will is very strong, fierce combat, skilled archers, and most importantly, not afraid of death. They can withstand higher casualties than the regular army without retreating. If they make good use of it, they can become a troop like a logging team and become the backbone of Byron's troops.
With positioning, the next step is to make arrangements. Byron can allow the captains of the logging team to train these mountain people. Although these mercenaries are not as professional as the Rhodok officer, they have a deeper connection with the mountain people, communication is more convenient, and they can be trained according to their training methods. Shorten the training time, and the ability of the system can train a group of soldiers to meet Byron's needs in one month.
After the First World War, the army continued to increase, and some of the prisoners expressed their willingness to follow Byron. Byron accepted their surrender, but did not return their weapons and equipment. Only after returning to Veluga, they could officially serve as Byron’s soldiers and serve as Veluga’s patrols to maintain the city’s security.
Byron’s return journey took twice as much time as when he went there. When he returned to Veluga, the spring rain had stopped and the ground was completely dry. The farmers were so busy that they almost ignored the mighty force from themselves. Army passing by in front of the field.
The residents of Veluga noticed the army that had returned victoriously and the countless prisoners. Especially those women and children who were anxiously guarding the street, they desperately squeezed to the front of the team, constantly scanning everyone in the team, hoping that there would be people they know. If all the team passes by and there is no sign of it, the women will leave with their cheeks in their hands. Then, with the last hope, they will turn to the foreign soldiers who have returned from victory, hoping to get a husband or father from them. Brother's news.
If they did, they would be pleased but not happy, because the fate of these captives is still unknown, and no one can guarantee that they can return home safely.
And Byron was also surprised by the situation in the city. Originally, he thought he hadn't been in the city for such a long time. Even if he had left Elaine behind, the atmosphere in the city should be very tense now. But the actual situation is that although the atmosphere is equally tense, it is one-sided fear of Byron. Both the civilians and the nobles avoided Byron and the others, and had no intention of resisting at all.
When he entered the city before, Byron had also prepared Bandak to prevent any accidents, which now seems to be completely superfluous.
When Eleon led the castle's defenders to greet Byron, he naturally raised this question. And Eleon was also very proud to say that he had used his plan to draw out the insurgents and annihilate them all, which surprised Byron.
"Very well done, Eleon. You proved to me your ability. You are not only an excellent knight, but also an excellent commander. You can choose the three villages around Veluga as your own. The fief, the mansion that originally belonged to Earl Matthias next to the castle is also given to you, follow me, and you will have a bright future."
"It is my glory to fight for you, my lord."
Elaine saluted with satisfaction and pride, and did not notice the hint of dread in Byron's words inadvertently, not to mention the significance of Byron's giving him a mansion so close to the castle.
‘’Being closer to yourself, it’s easier to manage and control. Eleon's ability is stronger than I thought, and his personality is flawed...for now, he can't let him go too far, and the army can't be left to him alone. ‘’
Byron thought to himself while smiling all over his face.
He wasn't jealous of Eleon's ability, nor didn't he believe him. It's just that people with too much ability would have more chances to get out of his control, and he had to guard against this before fully confirming the opponent's loyalty.
Benefits, friendship, recognition, the shackles of honor, self-charm and the display of one's own strength are all part of the art of imperialism. Byron must learn more and make good use of this.
Things in the city are stable, and enemies outside the city can't find them for the time being. Byron can finally sit down and write a letter to King Harous, sending people to the north to promote the news that he will occupy Veluga. In addition, he had to write to Earl Dillinard and Earl Clays. In any case, he solved the siege of Fort Gruen Ward, and he had to say a few good things about the city's ownership.
And De Herim’s economy was also controlled by the alliance between Byron and the Golden Hand family. Count Kleis used this to make tens of thousands of fortunes. Byron was initially a knight under his command. Supporting Byron was very beneficial to him. .
However, In the letter, Byron did not take the initiative to ask the king to seal such a large city to himself. That would not be in line with his identity, and it would anger the king and the earl lords of the whole kingdom. Cities are basically the money jars of the lord. Many earls with long family backgrounds only own a few towns as fiefdoms. If a new baron of commoner origin suddenly gets such a big city, it would be strange that they don’t hate it. .
Byron has a lot of mercenaries, but the foundation is not enough to deter those old nobles. Whether it was a head-on confrontation or a secret stabbing, he was not an opponent of those earls. So in the letter, he asked about the ownership of King Harous's city, saying that he did not want to occupy such a rich area.
Of course, he has repeatedly suggested in his letter that the great and noble King Harous should put the city under the jurisdiction of the royal family, strengthen the royal power when the kingdom is too chaotic, and deter those who oppose the king. As a loyal vassal canonized by the king, he is willing to shoulder the important task of managing the city for the king and pay city taxes regularly.
To be honest, in this situation, the wise monarch will not accept this city. On the contrary, he can use this city that might be lost to get the support of those powerful lords. As for Byron, fools know that he has made a huge profit in this war, and he should almost be content. Give Serlindier to Byron again, and give him some honorary titles to improve his prestige in the kingdom. It is really impossible to give him some real estate around Veluga. Even if he is reluctant, Byron has to agree in the end. , Because the city may not be able to be defended, but the help the king gave him allowed him to gain a firm foothold in the aristocratic circle and form his own family power. Even if he was promoted to the position of earl, it would not be difficult.
However, King Haraus was not an ordinary king, let alone a so-called "Mingjun". He is too arrogant, too greedy, and too good-looking! The goal is ambitious but the national strength is not considered, and the occupation of the land is unwilling to grant heroes. This has led to more and more people opposing him in the country, and the lords are hostile to each other to draw swords. The situation in Swadia is now in chaos, and King Harous has a great responsibility.
Therefore, heroes such as Byron and Eleon agreed that King Harous, even in such a crisis~www.readwn.com~, would still be very irresponsible and take Veluga as his own, even in name. Will let it go.
When the messenger returned a few weeks later, the content of the reply was similar to Byron's previous guess.
The nobles of the entire kingdom received a notice from the king in those few days, and King Harous declared that he had taken possession of the city of Veluga and all the surrounding lands. However, because of the long distance, the king handed the outskirts of Veluga to the king's loyal Baron von Byron to manage, and sent Prince Harau to lead his army to the city of Veluga to manage the city, with Baron Byron assisting. As for the newly-occupied land in the west and north of Veluga, it is temporarily managed by Veluga City, and the specific ownership should be decided by the domestic nobles through consultation.
Very good, this is very King Harous.
