Rise In Calradia

"Master Byron, Baron Zico is here with his men."

Elaine opened the door after yelling at the door as she always did, but compared to the rebellious face before, his expression looked a little worried at this time.

Byron and Fatis also stopped their previous conversation and looked at Elaine together.

"King Haraus' troops have reached the north, and the Rhodok garrison in Agollomborg has also changed. Obviously, the war is about to begin."

Fatis said with a sullen face.

"The war has started long ago, but it's our turn to be late."

Byron put down the pen, sighed with emotion, and then greeted Johnny, who was helping him with his armor, to bring him a jacket.

"I have to meet Baron Zico, how many are they here?"

Byron asked while putting on his jacket.

"About 300 people, a bit more than we thought. But more than half are civilians without weapons and armor, as well as family members sitting in a carriage."

"He took a lot of people and asked Jamila to arrange accommodation, board and lodging for them. Bandak can arrange defense positions for their soldiers. Whether they like it or not, we will not raise idlers. Yes. Now, the residences of Baron Chico and his family are arranged in the room next to the church, which is clean and spacious."

On the way, Byron made a lot of arrangements and never stopped along the way.

Although it seems a bit verbose, compared to the young man who didn't understand anything more than a year ago, he has made great progress.

"It's nice to see you, Byron. My sentry told me that the Rhodoks were only a day and a half away from my territory. I quickly packed up and rushed over. I hope you have enough food and shelter. ."

Baron Chico and Byron saluted each other, and then approached very cordially, looking like a distant relative coming over.

"You have brought a lot of people, but we have prepared some more supplies, so you can eat as much as you want, and it won't be a problem."

Byron also walked over with a smile on his face, acting as a hospitable host, and personally led the team of Baron Chico into the town.

While chatting with each other, Byron took a look at the people brought by Baron Chico.

About 50 of them are considered real soldiers, with a complete set of armor and good weapons, and strong bodies. They seem to have received a lot of training, and some have obviously been on the battlefield. But the other more than 60 "soldiers" are purely used to make up the number. Except for those untrained guerrilla shooters with hunting crossbows and captured Rodok crossbows that can be seen, the rest are compared to Byron's men. The militia is still inferior.

The armor is soft armor and simple cotton armor. The weapons are also diverse. The soldiers' fighting spirit is also very bad. Some people even carry some gangsterism on their bodies. It seemed that this was the peasant and village rascal armed with the captured equipment by Baron Chico.

The remaining civilians and family members are nothing special. But from the accent, Byron was sure that most of them were Swadians, and they should have followed Baron Chico from the north, and came here with him because of the war.

Byron hosted a banquet for Baron Zico, and asked him a lot of information about the Rhodoc forces in Agollomborg, and compared with the intelligence of his own scouts. He sent someone to inform Baron Phyllis to come to Serendil.

Finally, Byron asked Jamila to introduce to Baron Zico in detail about the residence and the location of the rations, and arranged work for everyone except his family. In this regard, Baron Zico agreed.

On the second day, Baron Phyllis did not arrive. Byron also mobilized all the labor to make the final repairs to the wall, and recalled the farmers outside the town and the convoy of carriages that transported supplies. And sent several people to Gruen Wardburg and Uxhauer to send letters, indicating that the Rhodok garrison in Agron Fort had been dispatched and asked for their support.

Fatis and Eleon also started to transfer all the important materials from their territory to the town. If there are villagers willing to follow them, they are willing to take them with them.

Early in the morning of the third day, Byron was awakened by Johnny's knock on the door.

With the help of Johnny, he immediately changed into his armor, took the sword and mace, and rushed to the wall.

The first one arrived was the soldier that Byron sent to inform Baron Phyllis. He simultaneously waved Byron’s peony flag and the banner of Baron Phyllis, riding a horse towards the gate of the wall of Serendil. .

When he reached under the fence shouting Byron's name, a whole group of cavalry and many carriages rushed out from the edge of the forest in the distance.

Judging from the flag and the equipment of the soldiers, it was undoubtedly the army of Baron Phyllis.

However, their team was very chaotic and looked like refugees, which was not in line with the usual style of Baron Phyllis.

Byron ordered the door to be opened, allowing Baron Phyllis' troops to come in.

The team of Baron Phyllis was divided into several waves because of the falling behind, but fortunately they all entered the town in the end~www.NovelMTL.com~ These people together have about 300 people, of which less than 100 are considered as soldiers. The estimate is almost half.

When Baron Phyllis entered the town, he did not have the ease and comfort of Baron Zico at the time. He was a little haggard in front of him, and like many of his soldiers, there was a lot of blood stained on his armor.

When Byron asked, Baron Phyllis also confessed that he had been raided by the cavalry hired by the Rhodoks and suffered heavy casualties.

When Byron's scouts arrived at the Baron of Phyllis, Phyllis was already packing up. He also received the news that he knew that the Rodok army had arrived, and he had to come to Byron if he wanted to protect himself.

However, there are many people following him, and the horses in his hands are not enough, which slows down the marching speed of the troops. In addition, he himself insisted that the Rhodok army could not come so fast, and he was overtaken by more than a hundred Rhodok noble cavalry and mercenary horsemen. He was caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties in the chaotic battle.

During the period of escaping to Byron, many soldiers who had fallen behind were captured.

Baron Felice's military strength was reduced by nearly half, which not only made him feel bad, but also reduced the morale of Serendil's defenders.

Byron didn’t like Baron Phyllis, but he still ordered the cavalry in the town to be mobilized, led by him and Fatiskenrad, to kill the Rhodok cavalry unit, and give it to him before the battle began. Our side boosted morale and avenged Phyllis by the way.

According to Phyllis and their description, this cavalry unit, which is now less than 100 in number, is far away from their large unit. If it fights head-on, it will definitely not be the mercenary cavalry unit under Byron who can fight well and is well equipped. Opponent. What's more, it has a great advantage in terms of quantity.
