Chapter 103: Fighting the Brotherhood Again

   Desaivi left with someone. She agreed to join forces with Byron to deal with the Brotherhood of the Green Forest.

   Of course, she is also conditional. Desaiwei and the Brotherhood will have an antagonism. According to the game, the bandit force that Desaiwei joined is in a competitive relationship with the Brotherhood, and conflicts are normal.

   But the specific details are not known. Unlike in the game, Desaiweik just told Byron about his grievances in the past, and Kress only knew a little bit.

   She does have a robber husband, but he has been dead for a long time. As for the rest, Kress doesn't know anymore.

   This created some trouble for Byron to recruit Desaivi, because he didn't know where to start. But winning the Green Forest Brotherhood is always a good start.

   Byron gathered all his troops and purchased a lot of supplies, horses, and weapons.

   In order to strengthen the fighting ability of his soldiers, he spent money to order a batch of breastplates, better quality locks, to arm them.

  The horses of the heavy cavalry were all dressed in horse armor, and each one rode a lance.

   The light cavalry was equipped with a large number of javelins, and the horses were replaced with fast horses.

   Considering that the Brotherhood likes to hide in the forest, the terrain is not suitable for large-scale troop operations, and the movement of horses will be restricted.

  Byron deliberately organized the light infantry into small groups, and used the nearby woods to rehearse the situations that may be encountered in the woodland melee.

   He even brought in women who were accompanying the camp to help the soldiers with chores and boost their morale.

  Besides, Byron also prepared them with soft armor and coats with the same peony logo, so even in battle, they can give them some strength.

   Of course, Byron also issued a military order, and the mercenaries who dared to touch these women directly chop their hands, whether they are his own mercenaries or he hired them.

   Just preparing for battle, Byron spent a week, and the amount of dinars spent during that period was close to 10,000.

   In order to fight back for face, Byron is considered to have lost his money.

   And after the failure of the previous night attack, the Green Forest Brotherhood is not as arrogant as before.

Byron’s one hundred and fifty soldiers, plus fifty light infantry and twenty light cavalry employed by him, plus fifty regular soldiers who cooperated with them to attack the Brotherhood, the Brotherhood also had to avoid Its edge.

   Byron’s scouts searched for them for several days, but they did not find their whereabouts. So although they were ready to fight, they still could only wander from village to village.

   For every day wasted, Byron would spend 20 dinars to replenish supplies and appease the villagers who were disturbed by them. In addition, he has to pay the salaries of the troops every month, and occasionally hold a dinner party to improve morale. The high expenditure makes Byron a headache.

   If this situation continues, Byron's pockets will not be able to hold it.

   After the "Cold War" with the Jinshou family, the profits of Byron's industries have dropped a lot, and even the wages of the troops are difficult to solve. Such a waste of silver coins is simply torture for Byron.

  Manid wrote a letter suggesting that Byron stop this mission. He considered it from the perspective of a businessman, so Elaine was greatly mocked. In fact, Elaine had always looked down upon Manid, a small businessman, and the other party was dissatisfied with his arrogant attitude.

  Yamira also sent a list, all of which were in deficit. She reminded Byron that if this goes on for a month, the loss of the Peony Mercenary will deflate Byron's pockets.

  Because of this, Byron was on fire for two days, and even led a team with Fatis to find the robbers, but found nothing.

   Until Desaiwei appeared again, they figured out the specific location of the Green Forest Brotherhood.

   According to Desaivi, the leader of the Green Forest Brotherhood Ike is brave and cunning. He placed his base camp in a remote forest fifty kilometers away, based on an old military outpost. There is also a logging yard around as a cover.

   There were not many people stationed there in the past, but this time because of Byron’s purge, all branches of the Brotherhood fled back there, the number exceeded two hundred. In other places in the forest, there are many small camps that serve as guards, and the number of people adds up to almost one hundred.

   After Ike’s operation for more than three years, the bandit camp has become a fortress with a simple structure.

   There are simple wooden walls, earth ditches and suspension bridges, and a stone tower that has been abandoned for more than a hundred years but is still usable, serving as the last line of defense for Ike’s residence and camp.

   And Desaiwei told Byron that there were many archers and traps for hunting. With their sufficient manpower, attacking rashly would definitely suffer.

   Desaivi provided information that delayed Byron’s offensive plan a little bit.

   He told the news to the knight who led the team, and while expressing shock, the knight reported the news to the lord of the place.

   There is a group of robbers in his own territory, and he has also established a well-rounded camp. No lord will be happy to hear it.

   So the baron who manages the forest sent twenty guerrilla shooters to the knight, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.com cooperated with them.

   And when the knight reported the situation to the lords, Byron also hired craftsmen to make simple hammers and small ballistas that could be carried by four people, as well as some long ladders with brackets.

   This is another few hundred dinars, but it is very necessary.

   In addition, even though Eleon was a bit opposed, Fattis had a bit of opinion, Bandak was a little bit confused, and Byron still accepted a group of robbers.

  According to Byron's words, he found out the details of this group of robbers. The crimes of these people are not much higher than those of some mercenaries. It is not necessary to give them a chance to reform.

   In fact, Byron was using this to signal Desaiwei that he didn't care about her identity as a robber.

   14 robbers, after being received by Byron, transformed into 11 mercenary sentries and 3 mercenary swordsmen. Byron added a little manpower, which also gave him a bad reputation.

  Although it is not a crime, many people are opposed to soliciting robbers. They will definitely say a few words, but they are limited to this.

   Peony mercenaries and other mercenaries, as well as the troops led by the knight named Lund, rushed to the forest, and Desaiwei also summoned more than twenty bandits and bandits to join them on the road.

   Thanks to this small team of Desaiwei, the brotherhood's eyeliner was removed along the way. Ike didn't find them until Byron's troops arrived at the logging yard.

   He was indeed alert because of the late return of those secret guards and scouts, but he did not arrange to evacuate in time because of his confidence in the Brotherhood’s intelligence collection.

   The cavalry hugged by Peony quickly smashed the bandit troops in the lumber yard, and the two hundred bandits of the Brotherhood were trapped in their lair.
