Rise In Calradia

A trip to Jelkala made Byron a lot of money. He got a whole car of Jelkala high-quality velvet at a low price, and he also brought two important teammates, Bandak and Yamila, to himself. In the team, it can be described as a bumper harvest.

　　Byron embarked on the journey again, this time he had to pass through the pass east of Rhodok, pass through the Sultanate of Salander and head north back to Swadia.

　　Drehemm may be a good place to sell velvet. It is located in the center of the mainland and has convenient transportation. Businessmen from all over the world trade there.

　　 Byron led the team away from Jelkala, began to march north, and then turned to the east.

　　 In order to ensure his own safety, Byron hired two more caravan escorts in Jelkala. They took a little money and only charged 4 dinars a week. Like John, it was a long-term contract.

　　Byron also made some money in this regard, because business travel activities have decreased, and the business of these caravan escorts has also deteriorated.

　　Especially these light mercenaries in twos and threes. The nobles don’t waste time and money to hire them when they fight, and they don’t even have their share of the chores. So they cut their salary by half, saving Byron a sum of money.

　　 Counting the three temporary workers, Byron’s team already has six caravan escorts.

　　The equipment of these mercenaries is very miscellaneous, and generally a little shabby. But their combat experience is relatively sufficient, and it is not difficult to deal with ordinary robbers.

　　Byron and the others did not call for a journey. They set off at dawn. They stopped to camp and rest at dusk. If there is a village, it would be better. It is better to rest in a house than outside.

　　 Bandak and Fatis taught the other soldiers to fight and use crossbows whenever they had time, and Byron could follow along.

　　【One-handed weapon proficiency +5;】

　　【Crossbow proficiency +7;】

　　 Following them to learn, Byron is also proficient a lot.

　　 And at night, Jamila would start playing with the lute. It took her two days to get familiar with it. When she played the piano, the rest of the soldiers would gather and listen quietly with a bowl.

　　 To Byron's comfort, these soldiers finally learned how to respect a lady.

　　 The charm of Yamila has conquered these soldiers. Compared with officers like Fatis, the soldiers are more willing to talk to Yamila.

　　 In less than a week, Jamila and the other soldiers became one.

　　"The fire in the pub is warm,

　　 Bard ~ narrating the legend~

　　 Lovers hold their hands-dance to the music-

　　 Honey and milk ~ Sprinkle all over the table..."

　　 Even when the team was on their way, Byron could always hear soldiers humming the minor tunes that Jamila sang last night. Those simple songs were especially popular with soldiers.

　　Byron is in a good mood, good, until...

　　 found a large pool of blood on the wasteland on the left side of the road ahead and the bodies of several mercenaries and merchants!

　　Of course, there are also those next to them who are busy picking up equipment from the mercenaries. There are a lot of blood on them, and they don't seem to care about Byron's existence.

　　Byron recognized that they were the band of robbers who had torn apart with the rebel army last time, and the ones lying on the ground should be a small caravan in Rhodok, which seemed to have been attacked by bandits.

　　 Byron’s soldiers immediately took out their weapons, and Bandak immediately wound up the crossbow arrows and prepared to launch them.

　　Byron remembered that these bandits have become the most wanted targets of Veluga and Jelkala, and the number of travelers and businessmen planted in their hands is no less than the number of these bandits.

　　 However, people who are robbed by them are often stripped of only their underwear and then thrown away. It is rare that people directly slaughtered the goods like this.

　　 "Are you guys again? You were very interesting last time, this time I think you'd better not get into trouble."

The robber with a face full of flesh glared at Byron with an axe, and a bunch of bandits walked out from behind the rocks and woods near the wasteland, most of them holding hunting bows used by ordinary villagers, and all kinds of them. Of miscellaneous weapons. Of course, the few people next to the bandit leader had all replaced the armor that had been taken off the corpse of the chaos army before, and their weapons had become much better.

　　 Looking at those shining swords and spears pointing at him, Byron, who had originally wanted to avenge the shame and humiliation before a snowfall, stunned again.

　　 Now almost thirty bandits have surrounded them, but because Byron and the others are also quite large, the other party did not take the initiative. Looking at the expression of the bandit leader, it probably meant to let Byron and the others leave as soon as possible, not to be nosy.

　　 Byron winked at Fatis and Bandak, meaning to let them act on their own, and stop being calculated by the other when they left.

　　Bandak nodded solemnly after seeing Byron’s expression, then raised the crossbow and shot an arrow at the bandit leader, and shot an arrow...

　　 "Fuck up!"

Seeing the bandit leader who fell to the ground with a shocked expression on his forehead by a heavy crossbow, almost causing penetrating injuries, Byron's expression at this time was the same as the other bandits, all with the same face. Dumbfounded.

　　 "Attack, kill these mobs!"

　　 But now, it seems that there is no other choice.

　　 The bandits had raised their weapons at them in a panic, and Byron had no choice but to ride a horse with a hammer rushing over, and while the opponent was dazed, a hammer hit the head of a bandit wearing a chain mail.

　　 Because of lack of protection, Byron even saw the white liquid splashing out of his head the moment he hit the target.

　　 He felt nauseated and thought he might not be able to eat the next meal.

　　 "Line up, attack!"

　　Fatis raised his spear, shouted, and clamped his legs. The army horse rushed out, and the two robbers on the opposite side had no time to evade, and were scratched by the force of the army horse.

　　 And Fatis' spear also pierced a robber's back, pierced the opponent's chain mail and soft armor, and pierced into the spine. The opponent's body froze directly, and his eyes skyrocketed.

　　 As the horse continued to sprint forward, Fatis also lifted his spear and drew it out following the inertia of the horse.

　　 But because it got stuck in the bone, the thief was dragged by the spear for several meters before pulling the spear out of his body. Not to mention the death or not, even if it can survive, it will definitely be hemiplegia.

　　 The militiamen immediately put down their shields, and the bandits who surrounded from behind also shot a few arrows, but they fell on the shields except for misses.

　　 The formation of these militias under Byron was actually very loose, and the regular army was crushed when pressed.

　　 But facing the bandits who were killed by the leader and rushed up arbitrarily, they really persisted.

　　 The caravan guards also followed the footsteps of Byron and Fatis at this time, and the eight cavalry rammed in the wasteland, completely unorganized.

However, the ten bandits in the wasteland were obviously not ready to deal with the impact of the cavalry. Five bandits were killed at once. The remaining bandits also avoided the spears that were immediately pierced and the nail heads that might be swept over at any time. Hammer, reluctantly gathered back to back.

　　 Facing a few bandits with military spears, a caravan guard horse was stabbed in the abdomen~www.readwn.com~ and he himself fell to the ground.

However, it was precisely because a reckless bandit tried to rush to the caravan **** to make up for the knife, resulting in a gap in the formation. Fatis broke through, and the horseshoe directly knocked down a bandit with a machete. Tong pierced the bandit's neck with his back to him.

Under the many sieges, the seemingly brutal bandits are actually not that scary, because they are all engaged in sneak attacks, and they have been successful, so these bandits made a big mistake. They overestimated their front. The strength of the battle.

　　 After clearing the enemy on the wasteland, Fatis immediately led the caravan guards to join another battlefield where the situation was more chaotic.

　　 Although the militiamen and the horsemen have been suppressed by the bandits because of their inferior numbers, no one can escape because they are surrounded. They can only rely on the carriage to continuously stab them with spears, and rely on the advantage of the length of the weapon to support them.

　　 Bandak had already brought down two more threatening robbers with heavy crossbows, and the injuries were all critical.

　　 After putting down the crossbow and arrows, he raised the military hoe, raised the shield, and joined the melee. Even if someone on the other side is wearing chain armor and cotton armor, it will not provide much protection in front of a military hoe. After all, this thing, like the mace, was born for the purpose of breaking armor.

　　The horses pulling the cart were a little frightened, especially the horses with the empty cart started to ram around because of the noise, which made the battle even more chaotic.

　　 But when the cavalry including Byron turned and ran over, the remaining robbers were also panicked.

When these robbers usually fight, half of their combat power is due to the leader’s proper command and leadership, but now the boss has been headshot, and a dozen brothers have been killed by the opposing cavalry. Their fighting spirit has been severely affected. Morale was severely reduced.
