Rise In Calradia

Chapter 154: An episode at the banquet

At the invitation of Byron, the other two vassals of Serendil, Baron Zico and Baron Phyllis, brought their knights to the main town of Serendil, and discussed with Byron about guarding Serendil. Matters.

Byron asked to prepare fine wine, cheese, fresh fruit, cream and soft and delicious cakes.

As for meat, venison and beef are the main ingredients, with plenty of spices and salt.

These expensive banquet foods can only be enjoyed every day by earl lords and above, and they are not very common at barons’ banquets. The spice used for this meal alone cost more than 60 dinars. Byron spent so much money to prepare this meal, of course, to fight for himself at the banquet.

Those veteran nobles in high positions can usually appear low-key, because everyone knows his strength even if they don't show it. For most other nobles, things that can show their status are very important, especially at banquets and competitions. If you have to pretend to be poor, then people really think that you are poor, and they will naturally look down upon you, so naturally don't even think about doing anything good.

The clothing and food for the banquet, and the expensive and heavy full-body plate armor used in competitive competitions are all important means to raise one's worth in front of other nobles.

Even in the daytime, Byron made people light candles and oil lamps in the shadow of the stone tower, which further showed Byron's wealth.

In addition to the small internal space of the stone tower, which makes people feel a little depressing, the two barons could not find anything wrong with the banquet. The food was plentiful and the etiquette was thoughtful. The two barons who belonged to the new nobles also spoke very much. Your kindness.

The knights were even more satisfied. They raised their glasses to toast Byron and praised the banquet.

Byron knew that he had won halfway, so he spoke his thoughts towards the end of the banquet.

"King Haraus intends to retreat from Veluga, and the Rhodoks of Agorronborg will not miss this opportunity. If they come and we are scattered in our own territory, we will definitely be caught by them. They were all captured alive. So I suggest that if the two adults want to guard their territory, they should be prepared to evacuate at any time. We will concentrate our forces in the town to resist their attacks together."

Byron suggested.

"Guard Serendil? If it weren't for the king's order, I should have been in Suno now. I have only 120 soldiers under my hand, and it is impossible to stop Rodok's army."

Baron Chico put the last piece of cake on the plate into his mouth, supported his chin with his hand, and rolled his eyes a few times, seeming to be thinking about something.

"I agree with your suggestion, Baron Byron. You are right. Only by concentrating our forces can we stop the Southerners from attacking."

When Baron Chico said here, Byron saw that Bandak was sitting in the corner drinking alcohol and his face looked very ugly. Byron knew he would have to talk to him for a while and listen to him complain about this less-talking baron.

"As long as you don't interfere in our private affairs, don't order us, then it's fine."

Baron Zico emphasized by the way.

"No problem, Baron Chico. What about you? Baron Phyllis?"

"I'm fine, Baron Byron."

Baron Phyllis also nodded in agreement, and as a member of a long noble family, although he was late, he had a better attitude and was more willing to cooperate with Byron.

"The town of Serendil is your fief, and you have more soldiers than the two of us combined. I am happy to fight with you. If you need my help, please do not hesitate."

Baron Phyllis replied in a very gentle manner.

"My lord, what you promised was too rash."

Byron was very satisfied with what Baron Phyllis had said, but before he could say anything, one of the knights under Baron Phyllis stood up a little dissatisfied.

"What qualifications does this mercenary have to order you to do? He is not a nobleman, let alone a good soldier and commander. If he leads us to fight, then we will not be able to win. In my humble opinion, you should be responsible for directing this battle, and you will lead us to guard Serendil!"

The words of the knight with a beard like Baron Phyllis immediately caused a commotion in the room. Byron’s heroes stood up, Fattis and Eleon put their hands on the sword, and Kress, who was leaning against the door and handling the tableware, also took out a throwing knife from his arms. Killing intent came from all sides, and the knight was still standing there, and Baron Chico also meant to watch a play.

"Sit down, Asley! Pay attention to who you are! In front of you is Baron Byron of Serendil!"

Phyllis immediately "seriously" rebuked the knight named Aisley, and Byron's smile faded away.

He could see that these two men were acting as double boobs. Whether it is Baron Phyllis or the Eisley Knight, they are members of the noble family from a serious noble family, and they have a natural disdain for the nobles who come from mercenaries like Byron. This must be arranged in advance.

Byron hadn't said before that he must take the lead and command the two barons to fight. But the Asley knight turned the subject up as soon as he got up, obviously hitting him in the face and raising Baron Felice's worth.

He and Baron Phyllis had no feasts, and it could even be said that there was no intersection at all before. But in this era, your origin is itself a sin, a sin that allows the nobles to deliberately suppress or even get rid of it.

"Baron Phyllis, your knight is too rude! He now looks like a drunk in a tavern!"

Byron darkened his face and swept towards Baron Phyllis.

"I'm sorry, Lord Byron. Please forgive him for his rudeness. If there is anything we need to do, I will do my best."

The apology of Baron Phyllis further deepened Eisley's so-called "attempt" by Byron to control the two barons, and Eisley himself was even more arrogant and rude.

"Sorry, sir. But I'm telling the truth. I can't accept such a mercenary to command us. Only you can unite the Swadia fighters of Serendil against the brutal and savage southerners."

Bandak's face was red with anger, and if it hadn't been for Jamila, who was also a Rhodok, to block him in front of him, he would have smashed the warhammer on the knight's head.

"Oh? Then I can ask you, how many troops does Baron Phyllis have now?"

Byron didn't pay attention to what he said~lightnovelpub.net~ picked up the wine glass and asked coldly.

"One hundred and seventy-six people."

Knight Asley blurted out, but soon he realized that he shouldn't have said this sentence.

"176 people? That's interesting. Fattis, tell your excellency, how many of us do we have?"

Byron showed a disdainful smile and turned to ask Fatis.

"Five hundred and forty people, sir."

Fattis answered accurately.

"Very well, if you add them together, my people account for more than half. It's really amazing that Baron Phyllis can unite so many troops that don't belong to him."

Byron's taunt brought Baron Phyllis in, and when Baron Phyllis looked at him, he turned his head straight away.

"No matter what, Lord Eisley, your behavior is too rude. You questioned that I am not a good commander and fighter. Then, I will let my knight prove it. Eleon!"

"I am happy to help you, my lord."

Hearing Byron's words, Elaine immediately stood up, stood right in front of Knight Asley, and saluted him.

"I am Elaine, Lord Byron's knight, son of Vickia Knight. You insulted my allegiance, Lord Eisley. I will fight you, and teach you what is meant by Lord Byron's request." polite"."

When the Ashley Knight was thinking about how to answer Byron, he was taken aback by Eleon's behavior. However, he quickly recovered his condition and readily agreed to Eleon's duel request.

"Very well, I accept your challenge. When and where do we start?"

He asked.

"Now, right here."

After Alien finished speaking, he drew his sword directly from his waist.
