When Rhodok's army arrived in Serendil Town, a few defiant figures in the town opened the gate together, welcoming them into the town.

Rodok’s army commander was a little surprised. His information was a bit outdated. In addition, he had taken the initiative to capture the Earl of Rimusk, which made him mistakenly believe that Serendil still had five or six hundred elite mercenaries and numbers as before. Quite a few militiamen, so they really didn't expect Byron to run so simply.

More importantly, after a whole day of burning, there are still many sparks shining red in the ruins of the two walls of Serendil, and smoke is still floating above it. Knowing that Byron had a weapon that could make flames and loud noises, this scene had to make them vigilant.

He once thought this was a trick by von Byron to ambush them, and locked the residents in their houses, carefully searching the entire town.

Later, they saw the burnt-down walls to the north and east, and a granary with only rat dung and dross left. Especially when the military councillor from Veluga entered the stone tower in the center of the town, he almost burst into tears. There was a mess in the stone tower, and even the wood in the stove was emptied. Even the fiercest and most greedy robber of the Rhodok Kingdom would be ashamed of it.

However, the residents of the town, whether they are poor or rich, have a lot of food and dinars stored in their homes. Except for the two wood sheds that were burnt down because they were too close to the wall, they were not affected by the retreat. . Especially the church, where not only the facilities are perfect, there are also expensive frescoes and silver-plated sacred objects.

It is still winter, and the army still lacks supplies. The military congressman can only choose one from forcibly supplying the residents or waiting for the army to dissolve and finally collapse.

Of course, he could also use dinars to buy supplies from the locals, but Count Rimusk was captured, and Count Mattas did not give him extra funds, so he could only cover this huge gap with his own pocket.

One of the motivations for him to participate in this war was the spoils and fiefdoms that the earl had promised to belong to him. He didn't want to pay a lot of money after putting in so much effort.

On the second day, the following Rodok troops arrived. They had hot soup and bread to enjoy, but they were also surrounded by local complaints.

...........

"Gruen Wardburg is still under siege, but I think they can hold it."

A month later, in the office of the Peony Mercenary in Dherim, thousands of miles away from Serendil. Byron sat next to the fire, dressed in an expensive fur coat, looked at the letters in his hand one by one, and then threw them into the fire one by one.

These are not precious or private letters, he did it purely because he was in a bad mood.

The moment he withdrew from Serendil, he felt his heart broken, but what he didn't expect was that what really made him worry was still behind.

The capture of Earl Rimusk made Byron famous in the Kingdom of Swadia. All the nobles knew that there was such a baron on the frontier who had captured a genuine Earl of Rhodok, even when the king made an expedition last time. Do it, it made Byron famous.

But the corresponding price is that when Byron and his troops abandon his fief, the negative effects will also multiply.

The system prompts that Byron's reputation has increased by 1oo points, which is the largest increase in his reputation since crossing. But before Byron was happy, his reputation dropped 12o, which shocked him.

In an instant, the hero became a bereaved dog, and most of the nobles in the kingdom were reprimanding Byron for his cowardly behavior and attributed his victory to luck.

Of course, those nobles knew that they could only put them in Serendil. If other nobles made such a move, they would not say anything.

But for a new aristocrat who is a mercenary and has no aristocratic background, the old aristocrats are happy to say a few words.

Earl Harengoss was not too happy either. As the true lord of Serendil, he was very dissatisfied with Byron's behavior of throwing his new territory to the enemy. Although Byron gave Count Rimusk to him as compensation, he did not feel that he was honored or pleased.

The earl didn't make it difficult for Byron anymore, but Byron didn't want him to express his forgiveness in front of other nobles. When he attacked again in the future, he didn't want to get the assistance of Count Harangos.

Most of the contents of Byron's letter are about news from the South, but the situation is not so optimistic at the moment. The Rhodoks are very determined and have assembled a large number of troops to attack in this bad season.

This caused a lot of trouble to Byron's plan. He needed at least twice as much force to defeat the opponent.

Byron's reputation has changed, but not in a good way. He doesn't have the face to participate in banquets and entertainment among the nobles now, and can only stay in his own houses to think about countermeasures every day.

Mars, the veteran in charge of training, clearly told Byron that they did not have enough space and facilities to train 2oo recruits at a time, and it would take at least a month to add Byron’s golden fingers to make these recruits able to become available. Soldiers on the battlefield who will not be timid to flee.

Byron needs better soldiers, preferably soldiers who can go straight into battle once recruited.

Obviously, only other mercenaries meet his requirements.

"When I was in Salander, the "Coconut Tree" mercenaries were already Salander's most famous mercenary team. Their members were all from a place called "Coconut Tree Village", where they gathered There are countless criminals and desperadoes. They are all very good fighters, and they all accept employment. If you are willing to go there, it is not difficult to hire a whole army with your financial resources, and basically They are all good combat veterans."

Kenrad's words reminded Byron that since the domestic mercenary force is already the dominant force of the Peony mercenary family, he can contact other mercenary teams on the Big 6 and use them to help him achieve his goals.

"Manid, are all my things ready?"

"Of course, my lord. Your attendant has already gone to help you lead the horse. Are you planning to go out now? Isn't it a bit too hasty."

Manid put down the quill pen he was writing and asked Byron with some doubts.

"The situation in the South changes every day, and we can't wait long."

"Dherim and business-related matters will be left to you, just like before, Manid."

"No problem, Master UU reading www.uukanshu.com."

Byron nodded at the opponent, then took the saber set aside and walked out of the room.

This time, he was going to the south to recruit enough soldiers.
