The leaves of the treetops began to turn yellow, and the fields also turned golden.

　　 The farmer worked **** his land, harvesting the crops. The women are also busy with housework, and they have to pile up the grain on the trolley and send it to the mill later.

　　 After paying taxes, the remaining grain is the ration for the winter and the seeds for next spring.

　　 Autumn is here. In the harvest season, merchants, farmers, nobles, and even lost robbers are all busy with their jobs. Even the Peony Mercenary has a lot more work.

　　 Many villages are busy holding autumn harvest festivals, and there is always someone to protect safety during the festival. Especially the robbers in the forest also have to prepare for the winter, so it is very likely that they will rob the village and the carriages and pedestrians traveling to and from the rural cities at this time.

　　Those recruits have now become qualified militias, and Byron has also released them to perform tasks. With the help of those veterans, these jobs are basically risk-free.

　　 The nobles in the city also began to hold banquets when the taxes came up, and the ostentation was often not small.

　　 As the captain of the Peony Mercenary and the owner of many shops in the city, Byron is also considered a bit of a shameless character. Coupled with the relationship with many nobles, he often has his seat at these banquets.

　　 Compared to the troublesome interpersonal relationships and social entertainment in the hometown during the New Year holidays, the banquet in Calradia is very simple. Except for occasions like weddings, even gifts can be saved.

　　 These banquets can not only strengthen Byron's relationship within the aristocratic circle, talk about business, and occasionally miss out.

　　 When Byron attended the banquet last time, a sergeant brought his son to the door to apologize to the baron, because his son beat the baron’s son because of the woman.

Baron 　　 forgave him, but also relieved him of his position and demanded a fine.

　　 This sergeant Byron knew him, and he was called Myers Knock. He had been seen by Byron at a previous celebration banquet. The sergeant had little money, and there was a wife and two sons who were boring without making troubles. He was in his forties and was haggard like a fifty-year-old man.

　　 This is a good opportunity. Byron personally visited Byron and hired the sergeant with a monthly salary that was one-third higher than in the army.

　　 And to Byron’s surprise, the system judged Myers as a "horse sergeant", not only able to fight with foot, but also not worse than heavy infantry on horse.

　　 Byron asked Mels to help train the troops. If he is trustworthy, he can take people to the camp before the Brotherhood. There is now a group of Desaivi’s old units and a few Byron’s soldiers looking after them, and they have undergone simple repairs, so it won’t be a problem for the winter.

　　Byron always needs a shelter that belongs to him completely and can be stationed in, and this place is quite suitable. Byron thought about it, and rushed to repair it before winter, hoarding a few carts of food, and garrisoning dozens of people in a place that would be useful in the future.

　　 As time goes by, the militiamen have become under-trained light infantry, the Nord's skilled light infantry have become the Nord warriors, and even the mercenary sentries have become mercenary swordsmen and caravan guards. And because Byron had previously stipulated the number of salaries, Byron's expenditures did not increase much.

　　 When the land became bare, autumn leaves fell on the ground, and the aroma of the celebration in the village was wafting nearby, Byron also sat in his room, feeling a little bit emotional.

　　 He still vaguely remembered his own life. Although it was not as beautiful as it is now, he had a troop of hundreds of people in his hand, but it was still comfortable. But when I wake up, I have come to this world. And myself, has also been integrated into this world.

　　Sometimes he thinks of his family, and sometimes he chokes on the bed, but there is no way, after all, he is no longer a person in the world. Even the concerns can’t be conveyed...

　　 When the first snow of winter arrived, Byron wore a fur coat and came to the office of the Peony Mercenary, summoned his heroes, and fondly recalled everyone's experience this year.

　　 From Byron alone to the most powerful mercenary team in Dherim, there is only one year in between.

　　 It’s always hard to convince people if they just say something. But this really happened, right beside them.

　　Except for Kenrad, everyone was drunk.

　　Byron asked him the reason, and he replied because he always runs in the Salander Sultanate. The people there are believers and rarely drink alcohol. Even if they drink, they only drink Salander wine. In order to work, he also developed the habit of not drinking.

　　 And in one night, that habit saved them all.

　　 When the robber came in, everyone else was drunk. Only he heard the noise and woke up the people around him. He hid in the corner. After the robber came in, he threw himself in the dark and killed them all.

　　 "That time was dangerous, but it was also very profitable. We have plenty of weapons and armor, and a dozen desert horses, and there are still people riding the horses that were captured at that time."

　　 Ken pulls the past, and can't help but express some emotion.

　　 "Risks and opportunities coexist, but only by staying awake and finding opportunities can you seize them."

　　 For his words ~lightnovelpub.net~Byron is very impressed.

　　 When the banquet was over, only Kenra was still sober. There were no robbers this time, but he did catch a thief that night.

　　 is not suitable for going out in winter, nor for businessmen. The work of the Peony mercenaries has dropped sharply. In addition to the necessary training, everyone habitually gathers by the fire, drinks and chats, and occasionally plays a few.

　　 Occasionally, Byron will also hold wrestling and archery competitions, and even relax the ban to start a gambling game where he sits at the bank, to have some fun for the soldiers.

　　 Only Manid and those hardy Vicky riders and soldiers are still busy wandering around, taking advantage of the winter to buy more fur, and then hand it over to the tailor to make leather jackets for a good price.

During 　　, Bandak once took time off and went back to his hometown. He wanted to see his son, and Byron also took time off. For this reason, Byron also gave Bandak 200 dinars, saying it was a gift for his son, but let him accept it.

　　 Yamila once considered going home to have a look at her father, but in the end he chose to stay and spend the winter in Dhrim. Byron doesn't know if she is still angry with her father, but life in the Peony Mercenary Team must be an important reason for her staying.

　　Byron went to Earl Cress’s house just before the New Year. The Earl deliberately recruited Byron as a mercenary in the kingdom, and Byron didn’t like it.

　　 He also has his own intelligence network, and he knows very well that King Harrods still has not given up his expansion plan, he is still expanding his army and giving orders to the lords in the south.

　　 After waiting for the winter, it is estimated that there will be war. At that time, it was the day of Byron's early days.

　　His current strength has reached the point that even the Earl of Kleis, who rules the Dherim area, should pay attention to it.
