Rise In Calradia

　　Earl Claes sat on a chair moved out of the carriage, watching the battle in the distance. He saw the Peony Mercenary tear open the left wing of Baron Aikmok, saw the flag that symbolized the status of the nobility fall, and saw the soldiers of Baron Floss launching a counterattack when the opponent panicked.

　　 "Master Ekmerk is still alive. If he dies, the battle will be over. Soldiers always can't understand this, but it will help Master Frost's morale anyway."

　　The knight standing next to Earl Kleis knew that Baron Frost's shouting "Ekmok is dead" was a lie, and this lie also caused a terrible misunderstanding between the two armies.

　　 "The outcome is determined, Frost has won, and the mercenaries have also won."

　　Earl Claes leaned back in the chair, his expression very relaxed. For him, this battle is over.

　　 "Wait a little longer and let the people from the Earl of Sweden come in. They can't change much."

　　.........

　　 Just as Count Kleiss said, when the messenger of the Earl of Sweden entered the battlefield, he was already greeted by corpses and prisoners in a circle.

　　Between the broken body of the soldier and the wailing wounded horse, the flag of Baron Ekmerk was broken in two, and was stained red by the blood on the ground.

　　 Baron Ikmok has been unable to save his defeat. He and a few guards were surrounded by hundreds of people, and the leaders were Baron Frost and Byron, the captain of the Peony Mercenary.

　　 "You won, Fros, congratulations!"

　　 At this time, Baron Ikmok’s armor was already stained with the blood of enemies and his own. He staggered, with many crossbow arrows stuck in his body, and he was not far from death. He now depends entirely on the support of anger and resentment to keep standing.

　　 "Thank you, Lord Ikmok."

　　 Baron Frost rode on the horse, looking down at Ikmok condescendingly, with a mocking expression on his face.

　　 "You bastard, you will pay for killing my son!"

　　 Baron Ekmerk had no room for counterattack at this time, and even the one-on-one duel challenge, he was already unable to carry on.

　　 "He challenged me first, I hope you figure it out."

　　 Baron Floss frowned when he heard this, and said dissatisfied.

　　 "Whatever you say, he is my son."

　　 Ikmok’s voice became smaller. He lost too much blood. If he didn’t use the long sword in his hand to prop it on the ground, he would definitely fall.

　　 "You won, Fros, and your **** mercenaries!"

"I don't need your sympathy, I will not die in the hands of you and your barbaric soldiers. My soldiers...you know the rules, you know what to do, they are all very good fighters. .."

"If, if you still have a little bit of aristocratic pride, write down my will and tell me that the wife who has stolen with the housekeeper for more than half a year, my property belongs to her. But if she dares to marry anyone than My young man, don't even think about getting a copper!"

　　 After finishing his last will, Baron Ekmerk stood up and gave Byron a fierce look, which made Byron get goose bumps.

　　 He let go of his sword and let his body fall. He lay on the ground, tremblingly drew a dagger, and thrust it in against his neck.

　　 After a few convulsions and a lot of blood pouring from his mouth, Baron Aikmok’s head tilted, still staring at his hateful eyes when he died.

"we won."

　　 After a while, Baron Frost spit out these words, and the surrounding soldiers immediately fell into crazy cheers. They held their weapons high, and their roar shook the ground under their feet...

　　【One-handed proficiency +8; Two-handed proficiency +9; Long-arm proficiency +10;】

　　 After this battle, Byron's surviving soldiers almost eliminated one third. Only 8 hired riders survived, and only 11 caravan escorts. Swadia’s light infantry was broken in half, and the guerrilla shooter died. Five of Nord's light infantry survived, two of which required long-term treatment. Fifteen of the hired sentinels survived, because they joined them not long ago, so they weren't brave when fighting.

　　 Fortunately, the elite soldiers did not suffer any damage, and the heroes did not cause any serious problems. Bandak was stabbed, but fortunately, the blood was stopped in time. After that, he was able to shoot 3 people, even Eleon praised him greatly. Although it will leave a scar, it is not a big problem.

　　 But loss also represents gain, and many soldiers can be upgraded.

6 untrained mercenary cavalry, 4 Wikia jockeys, 15 mercenary jockeys, 9 mercenary infantry, 11 Swadia light infantry, 5 Nord skilled light infantry, 4 Swadia guerrilla shooters, 3 Nord archers, 2 mercenary crossbowmen, 15 mercenary sentries that can be upgraded, according to their abilities, 10 can be upgraded to cavalry, and the other 5 can be upgraded to mercenary swordsman. These soldiers are the elites left by Byron among the soldiers who participated in the battle.

　　 Count Claes publicly announced the victory of Baron Frost, and also regretfully announced the death of Baron Ikmok and his will.

　　 Byron found that the messenger of the Earl of Sweden was very ugly, almost showing an iron blue color. It seemed that he would not have a good relationship after returning.

　　 In the end, Earl Kleis praised Byron, several heroes, and the Peony mercenaries, and left, leaving some people to help the victor Baron Fros clean up the battlefield.

　　 After Baron Frost had dealt with the messenger of the Count of Sweden, he came directly to Byron and shook the hands of Byron and several heroes in turn, looking a little excited.

　　 He told Byron that he would not have won this victory if it weren't for the Peony Mercenary~www.readwn.com~. The soldiers and guards of Baron Aikmok and the knights had to release them back as agreed, but he left the unprotected mercenary prisoners and their equipment to Byron, leaving him at his disposal. As for the commission, he promised to send it all after returning to his fief, and he promised a lot of money.

　　Finally, even though it was inconvenient to organize a banquet after killing other nobles, he still planned to have a small celebration in Dherim and invite the peony mercenaries to participate.

　　 In this regard, Byron is naturally willing to accept.

　　 This time, Byron will also treat his soldiers well, they won for Byron. Perhaps the number of commissions is not as good as that of Byron's one run, but the effect this brings is unmatched in every previous battle.

The reputation of the peony mercenary will spread among the aristocracy, and Byron will become a guest of the aristocracy. If the situation is good, the upper class will also invite him when they hold banquets and competitive competitions. Lun's goal is one step closer.

When Byron returned to the farm outside Dehrim with the remaining troops, Byron perfectly fulfilled his promise. He took out a bonus of 2000 dinars to the surviving soldiers and reimbursed them. All medical expenses. For those soldiers who died in action, Byron also set aside 2,000 dinars as funeral expenses and pensions.

　　 Everyone congratulated each other and prayed for the dead soldiers. To this end, Byron also invited the pastor to hold a funeral for them. At the funeral, Fatis presented a flower for each dead soldier.

　　 In terms of the amount of money, Byron has basically not made any money, and he has also lost a lot of soldiers. Some people don't understand Byron's approach, but only a few people in the Peony Mercenary Group know what Byron really obtained.
