Rise In Calradia

Chapter 182: : Mercenary Lord

   It has been three months since Byron returned to Serendil from Suno.

  Fatis now regards Byron as a potential monarch, and is willing to promote the power of rule for him, that is, to declare the legitimacy and rationality of Byron as the king.

   There is a big difference between real heroes propagating dominance and games. Once heroes join in the game, they can help them propagate dominance without any side effects. However, in reality, only heroes who are loyal enough or meet sufficient conditions will be willing to help you promote, and the effect will vary with the hero's reputation and influence.

   The most important thing is that the right to rule cannot be advertised casually. Although the kingship of the kings of the six major countries is disputed, this does not mean that they will tolerate another person claiming that they are more qualified to rule this land. So although Fatis could already promote the dominion for him, but now he has no strength to publicize this matter, it is tantamount to declaring war with the king.

But Byron still took advantage of this. After returning to Serendil, Fatis always promoted in his fief village how benevolent Byron’s rule was and how good it was for the people, claiming that he was far superior. Over those lords and kings who only know how to exploit their people to expand their wealth. He also brought this kind of thought to the newly formed militia and Peony mercenaries in Serendil, and when these soldiers arrived in other places, they would further spread this kind of remarks.

   Now Byron is just a little baron, even if he publicly says that he should be king, few people will take care of him. So this kind of remarks did not make people think that he was qualified to be king, but it did make him a lot more popular among the people.

   In these three months, Byron focused his energy on managing the territory and finding work for the mercenary group. He has invested tens of thousands of dinars in Serendil, reduced taxes for a year, allocated idle farmland, repaired the destroyed buildings in the town, and got immigrants from the north and Rhodo from the south. The initial support of the Ke people. At the very least, the Rhodoks no longer regard him as an invader, but a lord who can live by.

   And during this time, the real lord of Serendil was also confirmed. King Haraus named Serendil to the Earl of Harengos to commend him for leading the army and to ensure his loyalty. Byron is no longer the temporary lord of Serendil, but because Serendil is too far away from the Earl's Northern Territory, Earl Harengos still handed the management of Serendil to the most powerful in this area. For him, as long as the taxes and offerings can be handed over to the earl on time, Serendil will toss as he pleases.

Compared with the many worries in the town, finding work for the Peony mercenary is much simpler. During the war, the mercenaries did not worry about not having a job. Many nobles who fought against their enemies were willing to pay for this powerful servant. Soldiers.

   But as a lord now Byron can no longer command his mercenary troops as before, because this involves the issue of standing in the aristocratic circle. So he asked Kenrad to command the troops instead of himself, so as not to offend others.

   And there is one more important point. Kenrad is really good at commanding mercenaries, and he is also familiar with how to make his troops get the most benefits.

   He set three criteria for Peony Mercenaries. The first is about the work contract. All work must involve a written contract and never breach the contract. And Ken pulls not to fight unprepared battles, as long as he joins one of the sides, they will definitely win in the end. Of course, this does not mean that the Peony Mercenary Corps will join the relatively strong side, because Kenrad believes that joining the party that would otherwise win will not get much commission, and it is easy to be used as cannon fodder. So he prefers to join the weaker side, and then help it to win, whether it is money gains or reputation gains will be higher.

   Finally, the Peony mercenary doesn't care who the employer is. As long as the price is high enough and the peony mercenaries have no other work at this time, then they can hire this unit. Even if they and the Peony mercenaries were facing each other the day before, they could become comrades-in-arms after signing the contract.

  The Peony Mercenary Corps commanded by Kenrad quickly became the most popular mercenary unit in the noble battles. Although their contracts were short and the charges were high, their business was still very good.

   When signing the first order, Byron handed Kenra to three hundred soldiers. And when these three months passed, Kenrad and Manid reported to Byron the mercenary group's income and expenditure table and the number of troops, the mercenary group was not only self-sufficient, but also earned 1,000 dinars. The number of mercenaries has not decreased. After absorbing some small mercenary groups and scattered mercenaries, Kenra has more than one hundred more mercenaries, and they all have their own equipment.

   This achievement made Byron very satisfied. After all, the three-month period is very short. The Peony Mercenaries are currently executing only the fourth order. It is quite good to be able to get this kind of income. Byron now really feels that this turmoil in the kingdom is his own opportunity~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If we continue to develop in this situation, winter can be passed safely, and when next spring, the peony mercenaries can develop better. Serendil’s militia can also complete basic training. With his system bonus, all of them can be upgraded to level 3 or higher. By then, his troops will exceed 1,000, all well-equipped and well-trained, and he will have enough The strength is involved in the current mess of the kingdom, and it has won its place among the real powers of the kingdom.

   This speed of development inevitably attracted the attention of other nobles, who called Byron a "mercenary noble." Discrimination is indispensable in this title, mocking Byron's origin. But more is still a kind of marvel at Byron’s development method. This method of using mercenaries as the main force of the Swadia Kingdom is not unused before. In fact, the ancestors of many Swadia nobles were originally Gukarad. The mercenary cavalry leader of the empire gained territory through military exploits and financial problems of the empire.

   However, with the passage of time and the further rise of the knight class, they selectively forgot the experience of their ancestors as mercenaries, completely identified themselves as the aristocratic class of the ancient empire, and gradually became contemptuous of mercenaries.

   But now they have to reconsider this cost-effective mercenary tactic, which was picked up and used by Byron again.

   Peony mercenaries are still growing, Byron’s strength is still accumulating, and Swadia is still in a mess.
