Rise In Calradia
Chapter 330: : Captives and War Songs
"Open the door, the reinforcements are here! It is the army of Lord Von Byron!"
The soldiers at the head of Dehrim rushed to tell each other, they blew their horns excitedly, pulled up the gate, opened the gate, and welcomed the arrival of Lord Byron and his soldiers under the banner of Peony.
For the previous two weeks, Dehrim, the prosperous city in the heart of Calradia, has been closed. The gates that remain open all day long are closed, the solid gates are down, and the crossbowmen are full. At the head of the city, all the siege equipment was installed on the city wall. Siege equipment was also being built in the open space in the city. A large number of stones and arrows that had not yet been transported to the armory were piled up nearby.
"The moat is also dry."
As he entered the city, Byron lowered his head and glanced at the former moat. Now the deepest accumulation of water has not filled his palm, and it has become a terrible mud pit. There was originally a scene outside the city. The sparse but just right trees were left between the villages and the buildings of the market. The roads were flat and wide, and pebble paving was used. When summer comes, all kinds of flowers and plants will be there. The roadside is open, even if you don’t need to take care of it, you can survive tenaciously and bring wonderful colors to the surroundings.
But now all of this has changed. The trees within two miles have been chopped down to avoid being used as siege materials by the Kujites. The houses outside the city were also demolished, lest they become a barrier for the invaders to keep out the wind and rain. Even the training camp that Byron and the others once established outside the city, the peony mercenary station that flourished and finally formed a manor, was half destroyed at this time, and the remaining half relied on wooden walls to block the road. As a simple barrier against the enemy. The prosperous market outside the city is gone. The original stalls are now filled with horses, pits, and tribulus. The only buildings left for the Khergits are the houses close to the city walls, but the roofs of these houses are very weak, and they are all within the range of ballistas and trebuchets.
When Byron entered the city gate, he saw some craftsmen driving out of the city in carriages. The barrels on the carriages were very heavy and smelled very pungent. He knew that those were asphalt, and when there was no water in the moat, they would fill it up with flames.
Earl Claes used the manpower of the whole city to rush to work day and night, turning this city into a fortress city in the true sense. A large number of supplies were sent into the city, and even more were piled outside the warehouse. The tailors are rushing to weave a huge veil. When the Kurgits choose to attack the city gates and walls with a siege hammer, this thing will remove most of their power and make the hammer's swing light like cotton. .
The army followed Byron's footsteps and drove the carriage into the city. Many of them were scarred, and some of the cars had seriously wounded people lying on them, but they also brought inspiring trophies, full of Cougit scale armor, pierced armor and helmets, suitable for horseback riding. Compound bows, prairie horses that can run, and Kujit captives who boosted the most morale, and the battle flag that was deliberately torn apart.
People gathered on both sides of the street and cheered at Byron's troops. Because there were no flowers this season, they offered some food to celebrate their victory outside the city. Some people who were upset by the war also counted the number of people entering the city from the windows or on the roof. As a result, they were relieved. There were more than 1,500 combatable soldiers, as well as many wounded and auxiliary troops. It took a long time to cross the street, giving people the confidence to resist the invading enemy.
"Byron, it's been a long time since I saw you. I can see you and your army at this time of crisis. I want to thank you." Count Cles hosted a banquet in the castle to entertain Byron, who came from afar. The butler was delighted to find that his lord finally had a smile on his face. In the previous two weeks, even his wife hadn't seen him smile.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Lord Claes, I will never forget your kindness to me. It is under your hand that I have walked step by step to the present." Byron replied modestly.
"Humility is a virtue, Byron, but sometimes you have to show your self-confidence. I heard that you're having a little trouble outside the city?" Earl Kleis said as he asked the servants to bring food and wine.
"We did meet two Kugit troops. We wiped out most of them and brought you gifts."
"Present?" Earl Kleis raised his eyebrows slightly, looking a little curious: "I'm afraid it's not a golden treasure, right?"
"Of course, my lord, at this moment, this gift is more useful than gold."
"Could it be Coujit's sword, a treasure made of Salander's fine steel?"
"No, my lord."
"Oh, did you catch a prisoner? Compared to his extraordinary status, such a personality can really bring us a lot of advantages."
"Almost, my lord." Byron smiled and waved: "Bring him up!"
Soon, Polza and two heavily armed Swadia infantry dragged a man in. The man had been removed from his armor at this time, one arm was gone, and only a piece of parcel was left. The white cloth used was already stained with blood at this time. His other hand was tied with an iron chain, tightly trapped on his back, his mouth was blocked, and the braids on top of his head were also scattered. Although he was a strong man who was taller than Eleon, The appearance at this time is really embarrassing.
"We found letters and Khan’s tokens from him, as well as the golden saber that proved his identity. Even the bridle of the horse he was riding was gilded. He himself was a fierce warrior and killed three of my men. Famous cavalry, I can confirm that this is Sega Khan’s confidant Haitulu Qianhu. His family is very strong, occupies a vast pasture on the grassland, and is trusted and respected by the Khan." Byron introduced .
"Hahahaha, Lord Byron, you can really surprise me!" Earl Kleese laughed and left his seat, and after approaching, he took a closer look at the glaring prisoner.
"If he says it, we can get valuable information. If he doesn't say it, this is the best hostage we can catch now. When the Kujites attack the city, those in his family certainly don't want it. He died in the city. Take him down! Send the best doctor to heal him, give him food according to the standards of a knight, but tie him with the thickest chain, don't let him run!"
Count Cles gave an order, and the guards immediately took away Haitulu, who was still struggling. Byron couldn't help feeling in his heart the strength of this Kujit thousand households. Even if one arm is missing, he still has strength.
Earl Claes returned to his seat, and after thinking about it, he gave the second order:
"Tell the whole city about this. Count von Byron of Amira led his army to annihilate the two thousand Kugits who attacked Aldegar and arrested their leader. Dherim knows this."
Count Cles finished speaking and toasted To Byron himself.
"Respect our hero, Lord of Amira Castle, brave Lord Von Byron!"
"Salute to you, Lord Count Von Byron, I wish you health and longevity, and a glorious companion forever!"
"Thank you, and respect my brave and fearless warriors. Whether they are aristocrats or civilians, they have accomplished their tasks brilliantly. May victory be with us. The army of the Kujites must be on the wall of Dhrim. Go home!"
Everyone in the banquet hall congratulated Byron like Byron, and the heroes who followed Byron in the banquet were naturally very happy. Resalit was very satisfied, and Elaine's vanity was also satisfied. Matilde felt that this kind of banquet was not lively enough, and did not have the jovial feeling at the northern banquet, but it was naturally a good thing that some people touted it. Besides, the bard and the clown soon began their performances. Although she didn’t like what the poet Count Kleis asked to sing, she was another famous poet, Alma Jose of Dehrim. After leading the team on the court, the atmosphere in the audience immediately rose. When the melody entered Matilde's ears, she even stood up and danced directly, as if the waves from the coast of her hometown were hitting the rocks, and the long-headed ship rode the wind and waves, carrying the best warriors in the north to the unknown coast.
【Roar!
————
what!
————
Oh--
Dragonborn
He was born for glory
Never fear and never back down to make evil feel terrified!
The demons are defeating
He is hearing the cheers of victory
Dragonborn
That is we are singing for you!
........】
Hearing such a passionate melody resounded in the hall through male voices and musical instruments, even Count Cles, who had seen the big world, was a little confused for a while. The Swadians in the field looked at each other~www.readwn.com~ Seeing Matilde dancing in stride, although it is unknown why, but the body also has a strong impulse, fiercely they go to pull Out of the sword, behead the foreign enemy.
"I've never heard this tune before. Where did Jose learn it? It's not like our music, but like those Nord Barbarians' war anthems. Look at the northern woman, how happy she dances Really." Earl Kleis asked the butler beside him suspiciously.
"Please wait, sir." The butler nodded, and immediately found a member of the theater troupe standing nearby, and then hurried back to report.
"My lord, the troupe told me that this song is indeed northern music. It was learned by Count Byron when he was in the north. In view of his personal relationship with Alma Jose, he taught him this song."
"No wonder." Earl Kleis nodded lightly and pressed his cheek with his hand.
"If you need, I can ask them to stop this strange tune." The butler lowered his head and whispered.
Count Cles pondered for a while, then waved his hand.
"No, let's continue singing this song. When the war approaches, we need everything that can help us courage, even the songs of the barbarians."
