Manid said two things in the letter. The first is that the purchase of horses in Coujit went smoothly. He lowered the price and purchased 20 prairie horses and steeds from the herders, all of which were very sturdy, but lacked combat training.

　　 In addition, from a thousand households, he bought four grassland war horses. The teeth are a bit old, and they may not run so fast, but they have good temperament. Can be used as a backup horse for heavy cavalry.

　　 When he bought these horses, he spent less than 3,000 dinars in total. The price was not bad. Even if he turned around, he could make five or six hundred.

　　 The second thing is the reason why Manid has not returned. He ran into a little trouble when he was in Kujit, the backstage power of the black business that was robbed by Byron before attacked Manid.

　　 not only prevented the Peony mercenaries from buying horses, but also armed conflicts occurred.

　　 In desperation, Manid could only go to the border of the Salander Sultanate to purchase the remaining horses needed, and then avoid that force and detour back to Swadia.

　　 But Manid has really gained a lot this time. In the horse market on the border between Coogitt and Salander, Manid met a group of mercenaries driving horses.

　　They are riding first-class war horses, and they are selling good horses from Sarand and Coget.

　　 Although some of these horses have unknown origins, Manid was attracted.

　　 And he also found out that these mercenaries were also looking for jobs, and he was happy to join a team of mercenaries that offered a high price.

　　Manid asked. The captain of this group was Kenrad. He had more than 20 mercenary cavalry with armored men and horses, and more than 20 level 4 mercenary riders and Salander riders. This one wanders back and forth between the three countries of Swadia, Salander, and Kujit. They don't do illegal work, and they are very trustworthy, so they have a great reputation.

　　 When Byron read this, he thought carefully about the name Kenrad. He has no place among the heroes of Calradia. But it seems that I have heard it in some places, and the strength should be good.

Byron continued to read down. The rest of the content was probably Manid, an ordinary merchant, who naturally didn't look up to him, but they had also heard of Peony Mercenaries, and they bought more than 30 horses from Manid in one go. Ma's generous hand can see the financial resources of the peony mercenaries.

　　 So they returned with Manid, wanting to discuss the terms of employment with Byron, and join the Peony Mercenary if appropriate. Of course, it is the kind that requires a contract to specify a time limit, and the contract is automatically invalidated if the wages cannot be paid.

　　 Byron put down the letter and praised Manid to himself. Knowing that he needed elite soldiers, he brought a team of cavalry back.

　　 And the task of buying horses is also very good. There are fifty or sixty good horses of all kinds, and there are a lot of extra horses to spare after making up for the previous losses.

　　 Byron immediately sent Fatis with a team of cavalry to pick up Manid and them, by the way, to see what the army was like.

　　 As for Byron himself, he continues to live in the **** of Dehrim~lightnovelpub.net~ to participate in aristocratic banquets, and will go outside the city to train equestrian skills every few hours. Now Byron is in Dehrim, and he can be regarded as a man with a face and a face. Even in competitive competitions, the earl would invite Byron to participate.

　　 There are even some businessmen who started to introduce their daughters to Byron. They took a fancy to Byron's military power and his assets in Dherim. If Byron is alive, then they can benefit from it. Even if Byron dies, his wife will inherit his property, which is still very attractive to these businessmen.

　　 Of course, Byron was naturally able to deal with these introductions. He really didn't look down on these rich men and their daughters. If you can fall in love freely, Byron is naturally very happy. Even if he can't freely fall in love and engage in political marriages, Byron wants to marry the daughters of those noble families, which is more conducive to him achieving his goals.

　　 But when Fatismanid came back with that troop, Byron put aside other things and turned down an invitation to a banquet. Considering that the opponent is a well-experienced mercenary, Byron put on chain armor and an expensive velvet coat outside, dressed like a baron going to fight.

　　 In this way, Byron seems to have a lot of prestige, and the exposed financial resources can also make him take a high look. For mercenaries, wealthy employers are often more important than status employers.

　　 Outside the city of Dehrim, near Byron's farm, Byron saw the mercenary captain named Kenrad and his elite cavalry.

　　 This man seems to be in his thirties, and he is the strongest time. He has broad shoulders, bulging muscles, and a very burly figure.

　　 And Byron saw that his legs are as strong as iron rods, and his **** is also big. These are all exercised by a man who has been fighting right away for a long time.

　　He is riding on a strong red war horse with a lance and his two-handed long sword tied on the horseback. This should be his favorite weapon. When he got off the horse, the one-meter-high big man was a little bit stronger than John, and his aura was very full.

　　 The cavalry behind him are also wearing a full set of armor ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ everyone has several spare weapons. There are also those Salanders with orange turbans and robes, with scimitars on their waists, very desert-like.

"Captain Byron of the Peony Mercenary Team, I’m glad to meet you. I’m Kenrad and the ones behind are my brothers. You bought our horses and we sent them. But if you want to hire us If the price is right, we are also happy.”

　　Ken pulls straight to the point, and asks Byron directly if he wants to hire them.

　　 Byron looked at it, and saw the face full of firmness and deep marks left by the wind and sand, which gave people a sense of integrity and strength from the outside. Of course, from the point of view that he does mercenary work and does not take on black jobs, this view is also very close.

　　 "You are all very good soldiers, I very much hope you can join us, as for the benefits..."

Byron called Manid and asked about the approximate remuneration of this mercenary team and the local mercenary market. After thinking and thinking about it, he decided to give the opponent 5000 dinars, and they will have to work for Byron for at least two years. . And in the past two years, these mercenaries can still receive Byron's salary, and can also get loot.

And Kenrad also discussed with the soldiers under him. In the end, they all felt that Byron's conditions were good, and it seemed that working in this mercenary team would not seem boring or endless fights. , Is also a good place.

　　 Kenrad eventually signed a contract with Byron and accepted Byron's silver coins. But he still added one thing, that is, if Byron can't pay the minimum salary, then they can choose to leave. Byron made a slight correction so that they could not leave casually.

　　 The contract has been signed, and Byron’s strength has once again risen to a level.
