Rise In Calradia - Chapter 418: : Mercenary's Credit (Part 1)
On the country roads of Rhodoks, a large army is advancing. They had just achieved a victory, and the officers kept using this as an excuse to boost their morale, bragging about it, making their subordinates believe that they had indeed defeated the enemy, and that the soldiers had the courage to fight the next battle. After all, they didn’t really defeat the enemy in the previous battle. Their enemy retreated actively, and they didn’t suffer any losses during the retreat. Everyone in the team understood this.
They held high the banner of Lord Kestor and fought for the king of Rhodoks they elected. They did occupy many villages after King Graves retreated, but they did not really defeat the king’s army, and their own losses It is also quite serious, and now one-third of their team is mercenaries.
“So von Byron has already occupied Gelkala?”
Kesto heard the news, but he didn’t feel too surprised. After all, from the first time Byron helped him, he could guess that the other side didn’t hold back his fart. Looking for something, and Jerkala, who was attracted by himself and took away most of the troops, was simply the best target.
Of course, he didn’t expect Byron’s efficiency to be so amazing. After all, King Graves didn’t expect Byron to find an internal response in the city. Lun really took the city hard, and the remaining defeated soldiers would not be the king’s opponent.
But the result was that Byron took Veruga within days, shocking both sides of the civil war. Lord Kestor seized the opportunity to spread the rumors of his victory, hoping to gain the support of other lords from all over the world, and took the opportunity to march towards Gelkala, forming an alliance with King Graves and Byron’s army in the city of Gelkala. In the situation where the three parties are confronting each other, they are all separated by a distance of twenty miles.
“This is a great opportunity. Although the boy’s behavior really surprised me, but this is the best time to overthrow the tyranny of Graves and take back Gelkala. The people will regard me as a hero, and my rule It will also be stabilized.” Case tray calculated for a while, and gave such a suggestion to the lords who supported him.
“It will never be easy. Although Lord Graves will definitely regard regaining his territory as his top priority, he will never forget to guard against us. It may be difficult to wait for them to lose.” Count Matthias no longer Graves was called king, but at least he maintained basic respect, treating him like a fellow vassal.
“But I’m afraid this is our only chance. At least we won’t have such a good chance again in a few years.” But at this time, another lord had some objections, even though he had little wealth and no army. , The right to speak is not strong, but he has spoken to Kestor’s heart.
“Yeah, such an opportunity is hard to come by…”
Kestor frowned. Of course he knew how false his so-called victory was. If Von Byron hadn’t attacked too fast, they might have been defeated by King Graves’ army on the front line. And even if he could win the war, the huge loss made it impossible for him to win Jerkala. They shouted to get rid of King Graves, but at that time they already knew that they couldn’t do this. Their greatest success was that hundreds of king’s troops suppressed it in the southern corner, and then gained the mountains. The lord’s support gradually showed. After all, except for Jerkala, Lord Aaron and the Pope didn’t like him very much at present. They continued to support King Graves and even sponsored them a lot of dinars. Of course, it is estimated that this wealth is now in the hands of Byron.
But now, he has encountered an extremely rare opportunity to capture Gelkala in one fell swoop, completely drive away Graves, unify the current Rhodoks, and even defeat Byron to recover Veruga, making him a true hero The king can also use the recovered land to win over vassals.
“Although it’s tough, we have to. If I don’t go, Graves won’t be able to sit still before us. It’s his city after all. As long as we have the opportunity, we can take advantage of it to win.”
The lords either nodded or silently acquiesced to the new king’s idea. Only Levins stood up with some worries, and Kestor naturally asked his partner and investor to speak very politely.
“I have no problem with your plan, anyway, I have waited long enough. But have you forgotten that we still have Byron’s troops in our army? Don’t forget that it was you who decided to hire them, but I don’t Trust them, I don’t think they can take our side in this war against their master!”
“They signed a contract with us, and the reputation of the Peony Corps has always been very good.” A lord who didn’t know much about Byron and the Peony mercenaries expressed his opinion. Of course, his thoughts were naturally ignored by everyone. up.
“We need them after all.” Kestor squeezed his chin, obviously lost in thought: “We need those soldiers to help us win, and now we have lost a lot, if the peony group is leaving, our plan will hardly succeed But you are right, if the peony group is not dealt with, they may make us pay a heavy price.”
After hesitating for a while, Kestor finally made up his mind:
“Levins, go and invite the mercenary captain of the Peony regiment to discuss the next battle. I remember his name is Kenrad, right? Remember, try to find a way to let him bring too many guards. By the way, Matt Lord Asi, gather your most elite fighters and prepare the troops for battle.”
Levins nodded and immediately understood what Kestor meant. He was afraid that the peony regiment would stab him in the back and didn’t want to give up. He wanted to behead the leader of the peony regiment’s mercenaries directly, and then recruited the remaining soldiers. Levins felt that this method would probably not work. After all, Byron could give everything that Castor could give, not to mention that Byron had many rewards that Castor could not give to those mercenaries who were only interested in profit.

So Levins accepted the order to take people out, and Kestor also began to arrange with the lords to do something later. They were worried that Kenrad would see their flaws, so everything had to be careful, and the soldiers had to hide to ensure the smooth progress of the plan. They all wore chainmail under their tunics just in case.
But when everything was almost ready and everyone was waiting for Kenrad to arrive, there was a sudden noise in the camp. Before Kestor stood up and asked what happened, Levins broke in, panting heavily. gruffly,
“The **** of Peony Tuan rebelled! They rebelled before I even got there!”
