Rise In Calradia

Chapter 165: Noble Cavalry

This young man named Mars is very grateful to Byron for the opportunity he has given him, and is happy to serve Baron Byron, who already has a certain reputation.

  He owns armor and weapons, and the quality is not worse than that in the Serendil Armory. Byron only needs to fund him a military horse and give him a salary of 10 dinars per week.

   This treatment is not bad for the children of a small family and noble. By serving Byron for a year, he can save 120 dinars, and even half of the cost of keeping oneself decent can be saved. In addition, the Peony mercenaries are well-known throughout Swadia in terms of the seizure of shares after the war, and Mars feels that he can earn at least 100 dinars even after shoveling all kinds of expenses in a year. Moreover, Byron is a new nobleman, the chances of becoming a knight with him will be very high, which is also an important point to attract him.

   The system judged that Mars was the Swadia heavy cavalry, which made Byron confirm that his efforts were worthwhile.

   And what Mars said while leading the horse away from the ranch made Byron very interested.

Mars said that although his family was not rich and he could not even support a qualified attendant himself, they did a good job in communication, and he personally met a large number of aristocratic youths of the same age. People have.

   He knows that there are some down-and-out noble children who are looking for suitable jobs, but they can't let go of their status to do chores. He also knew that several young nobles often wore armors left by their ancestors to commit robbers and shame the family. Others are because they can't afford the equipment they deserve, and they don't want to stay at home or go out to collect money as ordinary soldiers. The families of these people are either declining or going downhill. But their education from an early age allows them to do well in etiquette and combat. Especially the use of guns on horseback is the skill that Swadia nobles need to master the most when they grow up.

   Kenra’s mercenary cavalry is not inferior to the baron’s knights in combat capability, and the level of mercenary cavalry trained by Byron himself exceeds most of the Swadia heavy cavalry. They do not belong to Swadia's standard heavy cavalry units, but their combat effectiveness is still very strong. Even if they face the same number of Swadia heavy cavalry units head-on, they have an 80% win rate.

   However, this does not mean that Byron does not need other sources of cavalry. Mercenaries value money over allegiance. Even Byron's Peony Mercenary Corps, once their salary is cut, they will disappear. Byron needs to be more loyal and capable fighters to serve him.

   If Mars can really help Byron pull these noble children to his own hands, then Byron can form a Swadia heavy cavalry force.

As a cavalry officer, Byron’s knights, Fatis is very suitable for training these soldiers. Anyway, a small village usually has nothing to do with him. Not far from the town, he can fully focus on training the cavalry. .

   However, recruiting these noble children will inevitably be a little troublesome. It is not difficult for the truly qualified and capable noble children to find a job. The people recommended by Mars are inseparable from the current predicament and their own stinking problems. The term rogue aristocrat is not for nothing, and their performance before the civilians will not be better than that of Byron. That counterfeit knight is better.

   To solve this point, besides military discipline, it also depends on Byron's own ability. Only by making yourself look strong enough and fully show your charm, those arrogant guys will truly obey Byron and work for him.

  Byron gave Mars a good horse, and sent a few hired riders to follow him, asking him to contact the people he said. Byron also gave him a written certificate to prove Byron's identity. Anyone would write an oral check. To convince those arrogant but shrewd noble children that they could get the treatment they wanted, some proof was always needed. After all, in Calradia, swearing allegiance is a serious matter, and betraying the oath is a serious crime.

  For example, Byron, he swore an oath to both the Earl of Claes and the king. He could not betray the two under any circumstances, unless the king gave him an order in person.

   After that, Byron went to several other horse farms in the south, even a horse farm in the original Rhodok. He bought a total of 17 horses that could be used by cavalry to ride and fight, which cost several thousand dinars. But Byron thought it was worth it, especially the BMW Thunder, even if it was seen by the Earl Lord.

  Byron also bought a set of Swadia-style red riding jackets for the Thunder, a high-quality and lighter chain armor robe and a steel vest. The Thunder did not disappoint Byron. Even with such heavy equipment, it still runs faster than the horses that Byron has seen before, and can run for half an hour.

   Byron’s horse armor is still very interesting. At that time he was picking up horses on a racecourse, but there was nothing to match. But when he was about to leave, the local garrison came to conquer the horses. Those soldiers will get some kickbacks and take away all suitable horses with half the market price. The owner of the racecourse asked Byron for help and was willing to give him a horse armor from his collection.

   It doesn't hurt if it can't be done anyway, and Byron agreed.

   The few high-pitched soldiers who saw him as the baron immediately fainted and introduced their intentions very politely. Byron also told them that he was going to select horses for the armed forces in this horse farm today, and UU reading www.uukānshu.com asked them to come back tomorrow.

   The officer said that this was in accordance with the king's request, and that it was an order from the commander of Gruen Wardburg.

"My army guards southern Xinjiang for His Majesty the King, and must always respond to the Marshal's call to support in the north. His Majesty needs horses, and I will provide him with cavalry. Arming my troops with these horses is equivalent to sending them to the front. I I don't think there is a problem between the two. Go back, Sergeant, come back tomorrow, you don't miss this time."

   Byron’s fallacies were impossible to refute, and he also gave the soldiers a few silver coins to find a place to drink and not to disturb themselves.

   The sergeant finally chose to leave. Just like Byron said, the task may be a bit urgent, but at most two sentences a day at night, but if you offend Byron, this powerful nobleman, it's not worth it.

  Byron helped the owner to send away the soldiers, so that he could hide all the good horses. Tomorrow, he would pretend to be bought by Byron and stop them and keep all the valuable horses.

  Byron also got an expensive war horse burqa, which is considered a profit. So on the way back, he was in a good mood, so that every time he went to a village, he would stop to invite the soldiers and heroes around him to drink, and even acquiesced in gambling.

   When Byron returned to Serendil, Jamila found him directly and gave him a list. The first name above is Mars, and below are the names of a dozen young noble members. At the end of the name, it was written which family he came from, who his parents were, how many people he brought, how many horses, and what equipment he came to Serendil.

   At the bottom of the list is the standard aristocratic declaration of allegiance and their signatures.
