Rise In Calradia

"You heard me right, Byron, His Majesty Harolds has left us, I hope the new king can lead us out of the predicament..."

Sitting on the marble throne of King Graves in the palace hall of Jelkala, Byron felt panicked. It wasn't that the five layers of silk-padded fur cushions under his buttocks were useless, but that the news was like a big stick hitting his head directly, making every bone in his body uncomfortable.

Harlaus died, although it was a bit sudden, but Byron was very happy in his heart. The old **** who had been pushing him away and even wanted to kill him was finally dead. He was so pleased with the news that he even wanted to uncork all the good wine in King Graves' cellar to celebrate the death of the old dog.

But what happened next was something he didn't expect. Although King Harold's death was sudden and completely disrupted his plan, it was not that he hadn't considered this situation. It's hard to convince everyone. After all, he has been with His Royal Highness for a while, knows his abilities, and really has no expectations for him.

He originally thought that King Harlaus, the last rope that barely maintained Swadia, would collapse quickly after the last rope broke. Asia was mired in civil strife far beyond the pitiful so-called civil war of the Rhodoks. At that time, Byron will be completely independent from the king. Although he is in a hurry to prepare, he can start a little bit of progress from disobedience. Earl Dilinard has established an alliance of lords. At that time, he can completely swing between the two sides as a fool, defrauding support to deal with the Rhodoks and Salanders, and finally support the old man who also has the royal blood. As the regent of Swadia, he can seek to establish an independent country in Rhodok and annex the entire southern mountain country.

But Prince Harauu gave him a "big gift" before he succeeded to the throne.

If it is only from the surface, most people will think that the prince who is about to succeed is so generous. With just one sentence, he sealed a large area of ​​land to Byron, and even has his own city. Let Earl Byron His son became the lord with the most territory in Swadia.

But in fact, Byron felt that he had fallen into a big pit.

"Veluga originally belonged to me, and I didn't even think that Gelkala could be granted to me, but now, the plan has been disrupted."

Byron complained a few words in this way, while Elaine who was beside him thought for a while after listening, and asked a question: "So, you are hesitating about what to do next, right? After all, if we abandon the city now Going to support the new king will not make you bear the shame of losing the territory, but this kind of opportunity to obtain the entire city and its surrounding land may be difficult to obtain. But if we stick to the city, then we will face..."

"We will face a double attack from Graves and Kestor. One side wants to regain the territory, and the other side will never keep the agreement with us. They will just take advantage of the fire." Byron affirmed.

"I can understand you, if you need time to think, I can..."

"No need, Allen, there's nothing to think about." Allen was startled by Byron's decisive attitude. Byron, who was struggling just now, made up his mind in a blink of an eye, which surprised him a bit, after all The Byron he knew had never been so straightforward.

"Since we are about to grant me the right to rule for His Royal Highness the Prince, then I will accept it all, there is no need

Be hesitant. Allen, just because I'm bothered doesn't mean I don't have an idea, so be loyal to me, your lord will only be stronger than now. "Byron's words were irresistible, Allen bowed his head and saluted, of course he knew what Byron was implying.

"In a few days, Graves's troops will arrive, and Kestor's estimate is about the same. I will immediately order the troops to stop the evacuation and call Lesarit. We still have a strong army and a Strong walls, they don't have the advantage, we will repel them, and guard this Swadian territory for the new king. Also, let those guys in the city come in when you go out, you know what to say, shouldn't Say something, let your men and other soldiers know this, tell them to shut up, I don't want to hear any more "rumors" that we are going to evacuate the city."

Elaine bowed respectfully and retreated. Byron sighed when he saw him leave the hall, and squeezed his brows with his fingers. He would never show weakness in front of Elaine again. He is a general. He also knows how to command an army, but he needs a strong hand to control it.

Byron tidied up his clothes to make himself look more majestic. He placed the sword and the crown left by Graves on both sides of the throne. Squad soldiers are judged by the system as the strongest unit in the mercenary line "professional killers". They wear thick chain armor and wear the giant helmets that Swadian knights like. They are not as uniform as Swadian infantry, nor are they as good as The Nords look brave and strong like that. Some of them have a murderous look obtained from fighting on the battlefield. Just one look can make the legs of businessmen and officials who have not seen the brutal scene go weak, and they agree unconditionally. Byron's condition.

"Master Earl, I heard that you are leaving here, isn't it true?!"

Borgia rushed over shouting all the way, followed by a large group of Gelkala officers, officials, and wealthy businessmen who had defected to Byron during this war. Among them, even a councilor who was hated by the king fell in the city After that, he also jumped to Byron's side.

A large group of them rushed in shouting. In the past, they often used this method to fight against the lord who issued decrees against them, and even the councilors would unite to target the king in this way. But when they saw Byron sitting on the throne with a blank face and looking at them proudly, the fierce mercenaries in the hall with their left and right hands pressing their sharp knives all turned their heads to look at the decent. It made people shudder, the gang of lords fell down in an instant, only Borgia who took the lead managed to maintain his dignity, but when he spoke, the saliva in his mouth dried up all at once.

"My lord, we..." Borgia spoke after a while, but the voice was so small that it was almost inaudible.

"What? You actually believe those nonsense rumors?" Byron snorted coldly, and said disdainfully, "I have arranged jobs for you, resumed the market, and even retained your city council. Do you think so? Am I going to run back to Amira like a coward after earning enough dinars? I remember your exploits, but remember ~www.readwn.com~ If you still ask me such stupid questions in the future, I will You really have to consider whether you are qualified to sit in the new seats I have arranged for you. Listen, I will say it for the last time, lord of Swadia, your new king has given me Jerkala As my fief, I will not leave here, and I am not afraid of those who want to take her away! Do you understand?"

"We heard very clearly, my lord." Borgia lowered his head so that he did not dare to look directly into Byron's eyes, and naturally no one around him dared to say no.

"Very good, now go back and continue to serve my troops and appease the residents of the city. I don't want any accidents to happen, and I don't want to be held accountable for it."

The gang of Rhodoks bowed their heads and retreated. Byron knew that they were just frightened by the scene just now. They were not easy to fool. They would figure it out soon, but after all, they were traitors who betrayed the king. , They still have to stand on Byron's side in the war.

"Damn yourself, you shouldn't have promised them such an important position before, and now you have to fulfill your promise." Byron muttered a few words, then took a deep breath, waiting for Elaine and the others to come back, and sent People went to invite Earl Crags and other representatives of the lords.
