Rise In Calradia

Chapter 242: Swadia's strategy

"Polcha, very good, you are a member of my team. Don't worry, I will not deduct your salary due to this bail."

Byron said, searching for information related to this name in his head. He always felt that he had heard of this name.

"Polcha...mother tea...po..."

Byron suddenly realized that the guide he had accidentally saved was not the guide Polza, one of the heroes in the riding and slashing game? Regardless of his appearance, age, those equipment and the strengths he possesses, they are quite in line with his image.

[Bolcha: [Guide 5], [Reconnaissance 3], [Tracking 4], [Riding 2], [Iron Bone 1], [Strike 1], [Pathfinder];]

The system reminder came late, but it also confirmed Byron's conjecture.

This luck, it's almost impossible to say...really?

Byron remembered everything that had happened since he had crossed. Although it was inevitable that he would be slumped sometimes, but most of the time it was smooth, or it was like being led by the nose by someone. Some people seem to find him just like they have constant contact with him.

He can't forget the so-called "divine envoy" who resurrected him back then, let alone the so-called godlike existence in his mouth. He had previously thought about whether he was a **** that guy could achieve a certain purpose. It now appears that this idea of ​​his is not unreasonable.

Byron suppressed the doubt in his heart, no matter what was behind it, it had nothing to do with him now. When you are as weak as an ant, there is no benefit to guessing the idea of ​​an elephant. It is a blessing not to be trampled to death by the other party. What else can you ask for?

Byron put those thoughts behind him, and then took Polza back to the tavern. Polza didn't want to go in, and the owner of the tavern didn't welcome this guy with a conviction, but he couldn't refuse the dinar in Byron's hands. So he accepted Byron's silver coins, entertained the new mercenaries including Polza, and returned the luggage and old horses that Polza had pledged to the boss.

After a brief preparation, Byron didn't want to delay too much, and used the money to buy a new carriage to buy two old carriages and horses to pull the carriage, and left Jerburg with the team. At this time, he wished to run to the east now and hurried to Vecchia, but in order not to arouse suspicion, and to highlight his identity as a businessman and mercenary, he still led the troops carefully and felt that the nearest city of Sagos was based on this. Since the Nords conquered here a hundred years ago, it has become the largest flax producing area on the Calradia continent, because other areas either cannot grow flax or the output is too low to be profitable. When Byron recruited Manid, he told Byron that he planned to do the flax trade in the first place. Sargos had a very large stock of flax, sold at a very low price and sold well, so the profit was very substantial.

Since merchants are willing to make this transaction, Byron might as well try to imitate it. The gold and silver in his pocket are more than enough to fill the two carriages, and the Nord patrols along the way will only treat them as small-scale caravans. What's more, Byron really wanted to see Sargos, where he was once the capital of the Karad Empire. It must be of great value to visit. Even if he is in danger now, Byron would like to take a look.

But unfortunately, when Polza arrived in that city with Byron's team, he found that Sargos was in a high state of martial law. In addition to the local defenders, light infantry and hunters recruited from the surrounding areas are also stationed in military camps outside the city. All kinds of city defense equipment are being built. The flag of Jal is flying high, encouraging the soldiers of the city. Morale.

In addition, many civilians and soldiers with suitcases arrived from the west and north.

From those Nordic refugees like refugees, Byron learned that a Swadian army had raided Tiha over the plateau and the mountains. Although it did not take the city, all the villages and ports along the way suffered. seedling. The Swadia army and its mercenary troops, such as locusts, crossed the border and swept the western part of Nord. At this time, King Ragnar and his army were in a stalemate in the south with King Haraus. After receiving the news of the attack in the hinterland, they were very anxious but still unable to withdraw, because once they withdrew the benefits that Nord had gained in the south in the past few years. All will be lost. So now the Nordic civil strife is in a mass, and militias are being recruited everywhere to strengthen their defenses to prevent attacks by the Swadian army.

Even if he was not in the Swadia army, Byron could guess the strategic intentions of King Harous. He is just a small **** on his chessboard, and a series of sacrifices and failures, including his troops, are within Harous's calculations. In this way, he wanted to show Ragnar his "eager" desire to go north, attracting the opponent's continuous increase in strength and his own frontal rigidity, and another surprise soldier (Byron is suspected to be the elite force of the Earl of Harengos) It turned over the plateau and the mountains in the west and attacked directly northward. Their purpose is not to occupy fortresses or capture towns, but to cause dissatisfaction and anxiety among the Yars through looting, and let them unite to put pressure on Ragnar, abandon the newly captured land in the south and return to the country for rescue. What's more, there are a series of ports of different sizes on the western coastline of Nord. Many of them are military ports with long ships. If the Earl of Hallengos destroys these ports and the ships anchored here, Nord is proud. The naval forces of Russia will be hit hard, and it will be much more difficult to launch a surprise attack from the sea.

Byron did not know how the assault troops sent by King Haraus set foot on the Nord Plateau unconsciously, but they did successfully enter the hinterland of the Nord Kingdom and achieved their strategic goals. If King Ragnar withdraws, Swadia will be able to take advantage of the situation to regain lost ground~lightnovelpub.net~King Haraus's prestige in the country has risen and his position is stable, the number of lords supporting him has increased, and the power of the rebels has been weakened in disguise. If King Ragnar insists on not withdrawing his troops, King Haraus will not suffer. After all, Nord has suffered heavy losses. The story of the Swadian army will be heard throughout the mainland. When they come back with their trophies, King Haraus The prestige will still increase, and the threat from the north will still decrease.

I have to say that although King Harous is not very good, he is greedy and selfish, but his head is still very clever.

Byron now had another choice. He could go to the west and join the Swadia army, but he didn't want to do it, it was too risky. They are likely to be caught on the road by the nervous Nord army, and his men will suspect him and report him. The most important thing is that even if he finds that troop, his situation is still not much better. Even if the opponent believes in his identity, a lord who has lost his troop has no place in this surprise troop, maybe. Will be deliberately killed by people who don't look at him, and then throw the pot to the Nords.

Therefore, Byron had no choice but to continue east according to the original plan. Fortunately, despite the tight guards, the mayor set up a market outside the city for economic benefits. He can still buy flax from here, but the tax is higher.
