Byron finally captured the castle and occupied the entire Amela Fort. But it's interesting. In fact, in the night battle that determined the outcome, the Rodoks actually pitted themselves.

You know, Byron is very cautious in the siege. He guessed that the opponent might desperately rush out to break through, but he couldn't figure out when the opponent would execute the plan, let alone keep thousands of people in armour all night, so He just deployed more patrols and divided a hundred people to watch the night. If the Rodoks really get out of town that night, they still have some chances of winning. No matter how bad they are, they won't lose so badly.

But they prayed once before leaving the city that night, which was nothing. After all, the Rhodoks generally believe in religion, and the pope himself is in the city of Aaron. But they somehow thought they were holding a candle in their hands and singing chants in low voices, and the stock in the castle was really enough. Under the candlelight, the sound of the hymn was low and melodious, and it was a tragic and majestic scene, which was very touching. But hundreds of candles were lit together in the castle, illuminating the entire hall, and you can see the light on the outer wall of the TM fortress! If Byron's patrol can't find out, then they can goug their eyes, it's useless to keep them anyway.

Byron was not stupid, and knew immediately that the other party was going to make a big move. So he arranged that a small number of soldiers who always avoided fighting in the battle were arranged to rest in the fort as a bait to lure the opponent, and the rest were prepared and waited for the opponent to come out before entering the encirclement. The plan went well, and the battle naturally achieved great success. The Rhodoks didn't know how they lost until they were captured. Byron decided not to tell them, lest these devout believers would hit the wall regretfully.

Now Amela Fort belongs to Byron. He can take his army and enter the castle from the main entrance with the flag high, drop the flag of Count Tazias from the city head, and then hang the peony sign, as if this The castle has become his fief.

But putting his flag on the wall is not what Byron wants to do most now. When he enters the castle, there is only one thing left in his mind.

"Dinar! Dinar! Still TM is the dinar!"

The well-disciplined troops that had marched forward became uncontrollable when they passed the castle storage room. Mercenaries poured in, opened the bags, opened the wooden barrels, and threw food everywhere, while delivering them to their mouths. , While looking for valuable wine, or not only practical and valuable dried meat and sausages, take the whole ham, and bags of anti-walking bacon. They knew very well that it was not their turn to take things that were too valuable. Byron's willingness to distribute the spoils did not mean that he would allow his subordinates to collect treasures privately. So the storage room is their best opportunity. Byron doesn’t care about the whereabouts of the food. Besides, it’s basically unavailable for statistics, so the mercenaries can embezzle these things and sell them at a good price in the local market. Or satisfy your appetite.

As for the vault and the lord’s bedroom, Byron would personally take people there to search for every place where money might be hidden, and then bring the prisoners who seem to be weak-willed to interrogate them, to ask them about the lord’s usual habits and figure it out. The location of those gold and silver.

Byron was so eager for trophies that when he passed the well-decorated hall with many exquisite carvings, he had no intention of admiring it, and he had no time to observe when he passed the murals of the small church painted by the master by the earl. , His mind was full of gold and silver coins. He ordered the soldiers to remove the closet, smashed all the walls that looked like a hollow, and lifted every piece of the unstable floor that they stepped on, and saved the original Rhodok soldiers well. The bedroom was a mess. If the countess hadn't gone back to visit her family, she would have been shocked, and then berated Byron for being more like a poor and crazy hooligan than a nobleman. Of course, her clothes were well preserved. After all, these good materials are also worth a little money.

Elaine was taken aback by the actions of his lord, and didn't know what was going on by Byron. Only Fatis knows why Byron is so obsessed with dinar. They have never seen a large sum of money since Nord's defeat in the first battle and after von Byron escaped from the north. Losing money. Byron got a huge sum of money in Veluga, but the army's expenses were a bottomless pit. Byron's dinar was poured in like flowing water, but he didn't see much benefit. The thieves stole a large amount of Byron's dinar, which made Byron distressed for a long time, and his purse shrank further. Although the huge sum of money still has a lot of money left, Byron has saved half of it as a bride price when he proposes to Nelda in the future.

Manid once described a beautiful scene to Byron. The commercial road of Calradia will be filled with horse-drawn carriages flying peony flags. The gold flows like a river and continuously enters his wallet. Byron believed him and gave him a considerable investment for any businessman in this continent, but the plan was difficult to produce, progress was quite unsuccessful, and more and more money was needed. Elaine once suggested that Byron should arrest Manid and punish him, but Byron still chose to believe Manid, because he had invested too much investment, and if he chose to give up, he would lose his money.

In addition, dredging relations, rebuilding territory, purchasing military horses (especially the war has increased the prices of these two things a lot), sending Matilde to the north to recruit soldiers are not small numbers. Byron is there every day. He was worried that he would go bankrupt, and was later squeezed to death by rivals at home and abroad. So this opportunity is very critical for him. The Leyland brothers have accumulated a lot of wealth through trade and territory. He very much hopes that he can get rich overnight and solve all the current troubles just like before in Veluga.

Byron's gains were quite a lot. Under his persecution, the captured soldiers said a lot of useful things, and this kind of search method, which was so short as to dig through the ancestral graves, really made him find a lot. Count Tazias’ treasure. In the earl’s bedroom money box, Byron turned out a box full of gold and silver coins. In the Countess’s dressing table, there were two jewels that the ladies loved. Jewelry box, and I heard that the wife took a large box with him before returning to her natal house.

And behind a brick on the wall of the castle church, Byron also found six one-pound gold bars. In the basement of the castle, Count Tazias also dug up a chest, which also contains a large number of gold and silver coins, but it seems that they are all very old. Adding these incomes together, Byron got a lot of money, but this is far from what he expected. If the Earl of Tazias is an ordinary Earl of Rhodok, then these tens of thousands of dinars will definitely be paid in. Satisfied Byron. But he didn't believe that the earl brothers who had been in charge of the eastern region of Rhodok for hundreds of years had so much savings. This castle is really expensive, but according to Byron's understanding, the castle was completed in their father's generation, and the wealth accumulated by their generation is too small.

Byron was a little disappointed ~lightnovelpub.net~ but he also felt that his expectations might be too high. It is better to have loot than nothing. Perhaps Count Tazias was very cautious, and took the money away before leaving Fort Amela. It may also be with his wife.

However, just when Byron barely reported his expectations, a Rhodok captive revealed a message to Byron. After recognizing the reality, the captive planned to exchange information for the safety and freedom of himself and his family. Byron was more generous. Byron released him immediately and promised to give him a reward after he found something.

The world took Byron to the rugged rock after the castle, and brought Byron and the others to a location. Byron’s soldiers searched for an entire afternoon at the risk of falling down the cliff, and finally found a small cave, which was blocked by rocks and could not be found unless they went to the side. According to the soldier, he slipped out to rest while on duty, only to accidentally discover the earl himself walking around here, and secretly wrote it down.

Sure enough, in that cave, there is another small box hidden in it. There are more than one hundred precious gems and high-purity gold ingots. However, compared to those jewels, these pieces of gold are just a few pieces of gold. Filling the head, Byron estimated that the value of this box might exceed the trophies they found before, or at least equal it.

Finally, Byron breathed a sigh of relief, as if his obsessive-compulsive disorder had been relieved, and he could finally get a good night's sleep.
