Rise In Calradia

Chapter 258: Byron's Return (Part 1)

A good and comfortable night, the soft bed almost made Byron not want to get up. Especially when he can walk and chat with Nelda in the garden after lunch the next day, all this is even more perfect. He told Nelda his story during the expedition and return, his adventures in the northern land, and his thoughts about her. The interesting story and the verses that Byron learned before made Nelda laugh, and the two seemed to be close together like lovers, talking to each other. After Earl Craggs approved their relationship, they didn't need to have too much scruples, which allowed both of them to express their feelings freely.

"If I can, I wish I could be by your side forever, Nelda." Byron turned sideways and took the courage to hold her hand. Nelda was slightly taken aback, and his face appeared. A hint of blushing made the corners of his mouth curl up.

"Don't do that, Byron." She rolled her head, and although she said no, she held Byron's hand tighter.

"I will prove my love for you, Nelda. Although I'm just an ordinary baron now, I'm here to assure you that within three years, I will become the owner of a castle, and your father will be impressed. . At that time, if you wish, I will marry you in a carriage full of treasures. Although I have a low birth, I will do my best to make myself worthy of you."

Nelda looked at Byron with some surprise. Among the Swadia nobles who were his age, she had never seen a man like him. Especially his self-confidence, as well as the ever-increasing fighting spirit and ambition that had existed since the first meeting, made her look at him with admiration every time she saw him. There are too many people who have taken the opportunity to rise in this troubled world, but he is the only one who can achieve Byron's achievements.

Although his commitment sounds a little unrealistic, Nelda is willing to believe him, and his affection for him has greatly increased. Especially the way Byron expresses his love, although a bit clumsy and too straightforward, it still makes her feel excited in her heart.

That afternoon, Byron led his troops and left Suno. Under Matild's care, the northern guys didn't mess with him, and got along well with the mercenaries in the Peony Mercenary Corps. After all, the robbers and mercenaries had many things in common. The citizens of Suno did not dislike them, which is a good thing for Byron, except for Dherim, he also has the best reputation in Suno. In Byron went to the castle for a banquet, Manid also recruited a dozen local mercenary cavalry for him in the local tavern. The asking price was much lower than normal, thanks to Byron's local reputation and The usual treatment of peony mercenaries.

This time, Nelda took the initiative to send Byron to the gate of the city, and gave him a gift, a simple amulet. And Benoit also purchased a batch of supplies for them at his own expense to express his support for Byron. Of course, Byron also left one of his own rings to Nelda. That ring was not only precious, but also one of the proofs of his identity when Nord collected the pirates.

In addition, he entrusted the Earl of Craggs to send a humble letter to King Harous, in which he expressed his guilt for the defeat in the war and his loyalty to the king, and said that he would always be loyal to him. And his legal successors. This letter is very important to Byron now. He has to let the king accept his return as much as possible, otherwise, don't think about having a good life in the future.

This mixed unit passed through Suno and passed Uxhall. If it is not too late, Byron really wants to visit the big John who lives in Ye Ruige, his old friend. But he still sent a messenger with a letter and a few gold coins to condole him. This incident quickly spread among the troops. This was instructed by Byron himself, so that his soldiers would be more loyal to him because of the courtesy and favor of his subordinates.

It didn't take much time to reach the south, and Gruen Wardburg appeared before his eyes again. Since the news of their return had been sent out before, the garrison in the castle released them soon after confirming their identities. And because Byron's territory is not far from the castle, the baron who is stationed here also sent Byron for a while, and was pleased with his return, praising him as the hero of Swadia. Byron didn't need to listen too carefully, let alone believe it, but Byron still expressed his gratitude-he gave a lot of malt and dried meat to the garrison of the castle. In the event of an emergency, he also counted on Gruen Wardburg's army to support him.

After passing the precipitous terrain where Gruen Ward Fort is located, you enter the rich hinterland of Rodok. After the Swadia invasion war ended, the locals finally recovered to their former lives, and the reconstruction project was basically completed. The orchards one after the other, the fields next to each other, the countless animals in the well-planned towns and pastures all surprised and jealous of the soldiers from Vicia and Nord.

Many of them became soldiers for their livelihood and land~lightnovelpub.net~Most of those Nord pirates were the second sons of peasants or landlords before they came to the south, compared to those who never changed. The snowy fields and the barren northern highlands are simply paradise, even if compared to the fertile black soil between Palavin and Suno. Those who wish to settle down here have already begun to think ahead of time how much land they can get after retiring, and some people who wish to continue their military life are calculating in their hearts how much benefit can be gained by looting the manor in the south. But no matter what they thought in their hearts, these northerners settled down and decided to follow Byron in the south.

Even those pirates who are determined to return to their homes in the north are full of expectation. They very much hope that in the next plundering season, the yals in the north will lead them to this remote and fertile southern land. Looting will definitely make them a fortune, and even let their stories be eulogized in their hometowns.

Byron’s fighters were very satisfied with the southern environment, and Byron himself was eager to return to his territory. But they didn't know that where they were about to arrive, a crisis was brewing in the territory that Byron had obtained through desperate efforts.

Fatis and Jamila arrived at Pegunde at this time, and Eleon had already met with them. But I have to say that this meeting is not friendly at all.
