Rise In Calradia

"Very generous, Mr. Byron."

Seeing the golden dinars full of the box, Elder Subtuha clapped involuntarily, and his attitude was better than before.

Byron also personally took a handful of gold coins out of the box, let them slip between his fingers and knock them to the other gold coins in the box to make a noise, showing the other side the fineness and weight of the gold coins.

"This is only a part. I brought a total of 3 boxes of gold. I also hope that I can bring back an army worth this price."

After Byron showed the gold, he said to the elders.

"good, very good."

Elder Subatuha didn't know much about the words of praise in Common Language, but Byron could hear the joy in his words.

"The rules here are very simple. You pay and the mercenaries are hired. We charge one-tenth of the intermediary fee."

"But today... the true **** is here! I want to give you a discount. If you spend more than 2oooo dinars here, then we can cut the agency fee by half, so that you can save money and hire more soldiers. "

Subatukha offered a good discount. As long as Byron spends enough money, he can save him 100 dinars in agency fees, and it is easy for him with a sufficient budget to do so.

The elder asked Byron to eat a lot of local specialty snacks. The dried fruits and dates taste really good, which gave Byron a few more unplanned purchases.

Afterwards, the elder invited Byron to visit the mercenaries' station and choose the right fighters. After that, he would help the two parties reach a deal.

The mercenary station is on the other side of the oasis, far away from the lake, with less vegetation and a little barren. The mercenaries here have been digging diversion canals by themselves and planting drought-tolerant crops to ensure their own lives while inadvertently expanding the scope of the oasis.

Nearly a thousand mercenaries are stationed here at any time, waiting for business to come.

The first thing that Byron encountered was a group of Salanders on horseback. Most of them had similar weapons and equipment to desert bandits. They used a mixture of leather and chain armor under their robes, and everyone was equipped with a javelin and a spear. Although Byron hasn't encountered the desert bandits who are famous for their brutality, he can now confirm that these people will definitely not be worse than those bandits.

They ride horses to train in their own station. Their station area is relatively large and the terrain is flat. They can race horses without building roads.

"The Sand Snake Cavalry has about 15o people and they are all very good hussars. Their horse skills are very good, the javelin's head is also very good, and every two people have three horses. But their credit is really average, unless you Be strong, otherwise they will leave you alone at the critical moment."

While watching Byron, Elder Subatuha introduced the situation of this mercenary and made some suggestions of his own.

"How much does it cost to hire them?"

Byron took a look at the situation of this unit and thought it was good to harass the cavalry.

"Then talk to their captain, but according to the past, it is enough to look at a 40-day contract of 2ooo dinars, and they will prepare their own food to avoid eating filthy things."

The price of mercenaries is not expensive, and the 15o light cavalry will also be of great help to the subsequent battles, so Byron showed a certain interest, which was seen by the elders and Kenrad on the side.

Moving on, Byron saw a piece of grass that is rare in the desert. The diversion channel divided several small tributaries here, irrigating the grass on both sides and the crops planted on it.

From time to time, mercenaries carrying something similar to a halberd, but with relatively simple weapons, came out of the tent to inspect their small vegetable garden.

Judging from the number of tents, the number of this mercenary should be far greater than that of the sand snake cavalry in front.

"They are members of the logging team, and all members are Rhodok. Their captain and leader are all Rhodok loggers who rebelled in the first place. The members are also Rhodok farmers, hired workers, and bandits. The entire logging team has almost 70 people, half of them are stationed in Sabah, and half of them are in Sharez to help defend the city."

"Sometimes I think Rhodok would use spears when he was born. Look at their weapons. It's just a tree-cutting axe with a wooden handle and a nail. As a result, such a group of untrained peasant workers and bandits The bandits rushed all the way from Rodok with these gadgets and knocked down the Rodok border guards and desert cavalry who were blocking the way. I personally recommend this unit because they are cheap and affordable infantry units."

"When I was young, as a rider, I participated in the battle of Fort Garmisch. At that time, we underestimated the enemy. We fought in a mess and embarrassed the true God. I was redeemed after being captured for two years. After that, I never underestimated it. Any Rhodok."

"I heard that you won the fief and status in the war with Rodok. You did a good job. But I believe you must understand their tactics and level. How important is the infantry unit of China. And I believe that the veterans of the logging team should also be homesick. They will fight bravely for you."

The elder's suggestion said that Byron's heart was in trouble. Byron needed excellent infantry to fight against Rodok's long spear phalanx, otherwise the cavalry would suffer more casualties than Byron's vomiting blood.

And Byron also wanted to train halberd soldiers, these soldiers can deal with cavalry very well with their halberds, and the killing effect of infantry fighting is also very good, and they will surely become Calradia 6 infantry in one or two hundred years. important parts of.

Byron immediately indicated that he would hire them, and Elder Subtuha immediately sought out Captain Rodok, who manages more than 30 people. Among so many people, he is the only one equipped with plate armor.

The negotiation went very smoothly, and the other party was not disgusted with returning to China to fight his fellow villagers. He was even more excited after hearing that Byron had captured an Earl Rodok. Unlike other mercenary teams, most members of the logging team hope to return to their hometown one day, and Byron can provide this opportunity.

So Byron only used 50ooo dinars to negotiate a one-and-a-half-year contract, but the premise is that Byron must provide supplies for the next three months of the contract, and provide the logging team with a batch of suitable weapons within one month. Replace the previous weapons that were too crude or inappropriate.

Going on, the elder introduced another group of Kujit cavalry to Byron. They are a group of grassland ringing horses that have changed their careers, but they are doing well by themselves. 5o people have 1o camels and 7o prairie horses, and the level is in the position of the Kujit rider, everyone can ride and shoot.

Hiring them is not expensive because they require the distribution of spoils after the battle. Originally, they didn't need to take care of the food, but Byron still hoped that he would provide the food, otherwise there would be no more livestock left in the villages along the way.

In the camp, there are some other small-scale mercenary teams, who generally pick up chores in the vicinity, and their level is also uneven. One team is less equipped than the militia, but there is also a group of rogue knights armed with full chain and plate armor.

As far as Byron is concerned, as long as it is not too cost-effective, he can accept them all and find their place in the next battle plan.

Some mercenary teams even carry ballistas and catapult parts in horse-drawn carts, which are dedicated to serving siege battles.

Their payment methods are also different, some are paid per capita, some are settled in one lump sum, some who hope to seek refuge in Byron in exchange for land, and those who don’t need any money but demand the freedom to plunder the spoils. Up the horizon.

Just when Byron spent more than half of the gold in the two boxes and was about to go back to rest and think about who else could be recruited in the town, the noise at the outermost periphery of the mercenary station attracted their attention.

When he asked the source of the sound, the elder frowned and spit out a Salander word.

Kenrad told Byron ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ that the word meant rascal or villain.

Can get this description among the mercenaries who are already known for their corrupt discipline, and the situation of those people can be imagined.

"They are a mob of hooligans, soldiers, and rascals! Even if they give me more agency fees, I am unwilling to recommend them to any employer. This is likely to damage our reputation. Their equipment is average. With average combat experience, the ability to cause trouble alone is better than any unit I know! They are not afraid of death, but compared to the trouble they cause, this advantage is really not worth mentioning."

The elders seemed to despise these mercenaries very much, and the location of their station also showed that no other mercenary team was willing to get along with them. Byron gave up the idea of ​​hiring them at that time, until the elder mentioned the name of the captain of this mercenary team.

That name is "Rolf".
