Rise In Calradia - Chapter 431: : King Kitakami
“Come on, get up, you drunkards!”
In a tavern in Veruga, a sergeant walked in cursing, and immediately frowned.
The strong smell of alcohol and belching came over the face, a dozen soldiers who were obviously under Byron were lying on the table or lying on the bench, and a fool simply fell asleep on the ground after drinking . They held wine glasses in their hands, surrounded by food scraps and bones that were thrown everywhere, and the loud snoring could be heard very clearly through the walls.
The maids in the tavern were cleaning up the mess at this time. She held her nose and wiped the stains on the ground and the disgusting stuff that someone spit out. She didn’t care about the soldiers who had been lying in the tavern all night. With a kick, obviously he has seen this situation a lot.
“Ah, you are here.” The tavern owner saw the sergeant and immediately moved over.
“Did they owe money for the drink?” The sergeant asked helplessly with a sigh.
“That’s not true.” The boss shook his head, “They threw a handful of dinars here yesterday, enough for them to drink another round. But can you take them away? They’ve been here for two days , Except for them who are prostitutes, I don’t have any other customers here.” The boss’s tone was very tactful, obviously he appreciated these big customers, but he was also troubled by the trouble they caused.
“It’s okay. I’ve seen everything in the past few days. It’s not a problem.” The sergeant nodded, obviously confident, and strode towards the soldiers who seemed to be asleep.
The tavernkeeper was delighted, and although the soldiers in Byron’s army gave mixed feelings to the townspeople, the officers in his army were worthy of respect.
Not only did they live well, but most of them were decent people. Even if they came from humble backgrounds, they changed after following Byron for a few years (among them, the improvement in the quality of the sergeants in the system is very important). Some sergeants still settled down in the city. Marrying the daughters of those small merchants or workshop owners would naturally win a lot of favor. The younger brother of the tavern owner had a sergeant’s son-in-law.
The sergeant strode over, followed by two skilled spearmen, walked to the soldier lying on the ground, and then kicked hard.
“You gang of useless drunkards, wake up all of you!”
The sergeant’s roar woke up all the soldiers in the tavern. They stood up annoyed and wanted to attack, but when they saw the angry sergeant in full armor and the two teammates who looked at them with mocking faces, their sleepiness and alcoholism disappeared instantly. , Immediately got up and stood up, touched his belt by the way, to see if his wallet was taken by those women.
“Pull up your pants, rinse your head with cold water, and don’t let me run around reeking of alcohol. Isn’t Lord Byron’s order clear enough? Your vacation is over, and go to the square to gather immediately after dealing with those messy things , we are leaving in the afternoon!”
The sergeant roared and drove away his soldiers, and those “warriors” who were waving their weapons the night before and shouting how many heads they had killed didn’t even dare to lift their heads at this time, and went to deal with their own private affairs in a desperate manner. The sergeant didn’t wait for them, and after a few curses, he took the two soldiers and left, heading for the next tavern where a large group of unconscious soldiers were drinking.
This kind of thing happened all over the city at the same time. The sergeants rushed into various recreational places to gather their own soldiers. People on the street couldn’t help laughing when they saw those disheveled soldiers running out of brothels with their trousers in their hands. The sergeants driving them away with sticks made the scene even more comical.
Of course, today is also a good day for trials. After all, these days, many soldiers have caused trouble in the city after drinking too much. There were big fights in the street, and some seduced other people’s wives knowingly or unknowingly. These things must be punished, so some officers and clerks were specially drawn out to form an institution similar to a court-martial to try them.
Of course, these punishments will not be particularly severe, after all, there is an element of connivance by Byron himself, and these soldiers will still be needed in the future. So most of the punishments were wage deductions, whipping, and hard work like cleaning toilets.
But interestingly, these drunk soldiers also accidentally removed a trouble for the city. The cause was that a soldier and a gangster from a local gang fought on the street, and then it quickly turned into a fight. In the end, a whole company of hundreds of soldiers spontaneously mobilized Get up and get rid of this powerful gang in the city directly, the speed is staggering. Of course, this matter did not get Byron’s permission, so it was stopped immediately, and the parties involved were also punished.
However, when the holiday was over, a large amount of loot had been disposed of, the captives had been disposed of, and the city governance of Gelkala had been restored, Byron received a second urging letter from Earl Crags. He had already passed Fort Gruenwald and headed straight for Uxhall. He hoped that Byron would bring his troops over to meet up as soon as possible. The situation in the north was not optimistic.
Mrs. Isona and the Count of Sweden once again assembled a large army. Although the composition of this army is complex, it has a large number of people. The size of close to 10,000 people surprised Byron where she got such a large army. But what is certain is that they are slowly marching towards Palaven at this time, and the Nords in the north have also begun to march south. With the emergence of a new crisis in Swadia, it is easy to do it.
If it is just to deal with Mrs. Aisona, then only relying on the local army of Palavin and the tall and thick city walls is enough to resist their attack. It will run out of supplies in a month.
But now Swadia is being targeted by multiple countries at the same time. Once the large forces are restrained in one place, other places will fall into a state of isolation and helplessness, triggering a series of chain reactions, and may even destroy the original kingdom.
Earl Crags would never let this happen. As a branch of the royal family, he was highly tied to the interests of the royal family. For Byron, the best thing to do in Swadia today is to maintain the status quo. Once a major crisis occurs, he will definitely be unlucky. His current territory is surrounded by Rhodok and Sarande, and Kujit in the distance has been hiding his thoughts. He doesn’t want Swadia to collapse at this time.
So he had to go north, with his powerful army, to support King Harau’s orthodoxy. In the face of common interests, he doesn’t care whether the other party is Harlaus’s son or not. In his eyes, he is a treasury and a top shield.
