"We almost lost this battle."

After the battle, Fatis was not happy at all, and commented a little pessimistically.

This time, no one objected to him, even Alleyne nodded lightly and didn't say a word.

Byron saw that the morale of his troops had dropped considerably, and there was a noticeable drop in numbers. Hundreds of soldiers threw their bodies into the wilderness, but because the enemy was not far away, neither side dared to collect them.

As a last resort, he sent someone to sumel the commander of the Suno side, talked to him about the current situation, and said that the army of Kulma Fort was completely unexpected, and it was difficult to achieve victory if he continued to attack, so it was better to give up attacking Agorlong Fort and instead attack the barns in the area around the castle and plunder the surrounding villages. He assured them that the garrison of the castle would not survive the winter, and that the garrison of the castle would not survive the winter, and that supplies from the south would not be able to reach Viruga after the occupation of Byron.

"You have a point, Lord Byron. Attacking has no chance of success, and will only discredit Count Craggs. Plunder is an atrocity, but it can lead to victory, and it can also make the other side retreat in exchange for our captured soldiers and knights. ”

The two sides quickly reached an agreement, and Byron withdrew 5 kari, and then sent an envoy to negotiate with the other side.

The messenger soon returned, and although he was nearly killed, Count Mateas managed to save his life and agreed to clear the battlefield and recover his body. Each side sent a team, unarmed, to bring back the bodies of the dead from their respective units.

It wasn't a good job, and after a few hours the battlefield was covered in blood, and the crows had gathered, and Byron didn't even want to look at it. So he acquiesced to the fact that the soldiers sent to recover the bodies stole from the dead, and they didn't need it anyway, and their families couldn't hold them accountable.

After the end of this battle, the troops on both sides suffered heavy losses, especially the wounded, which gave Byron a headache. When fighting, these wounded people can still fight with courage, but once the battle is over, they will not be able to fight. This is another reason why Byron is anxious to end this war, that is, he does not want to see the veterans who have been trained with great difficulty die in large numbers due to infection, leaving him with no soldiers to use.

The knights on the Suno side were also reluctant to continue the war, which would have been of little benefit to them, and they were happy to end the war and go home. With their support, Byron would not have to face King Haraus's grievances alone.

He wrote a long letter in which he described the situation in detail, but it was more than a matter of adding fuel to the real situation. He hoped that the king would forgive him for not being able to continue the assault on Agorlonburg, and that he would be allowed to return to his fiefdom after the battle. Of course, he did not forget to ask Su Nuo to write a similar letter to Count Craggs, exaggerating the number of opponents and the difficulty of the war, saying that it was very disadvantageous to conduct war at this time.

Privately, Byron also asked Fatis to negotiate with Count Mateas and the commander of the army at Fort Coolma as his representative, and by the way, before the negotiation, he asked his mercenaries to go to the vicinity to fight the autumn breeze and take away all the supplies that could be taken away from the area near the castle. They then returned to the nearest village under their control, where they repaired and set up a makeshift camp for the wounded, where James was busy.

Unfortunately, Arteman's gravity rubbish did not come in handy, but Byron placed a larger order for Arteman to build more gravity rubbish.

Interestingly, this negotiation is very interesting, because it is a negotiation between the two lords, and the details are not dictated by the kings of both sides.

On the Rhodok side, because the king's authority was not enough, and the lord's autonomy was too great, King Griffos had always turned a blind eye to them. On the Swadia side, the kingdom was on the verge of civil war because of internal divisions, and the opposition between the Eastern and Western lords. Even a little baron like Byron, who had enough strength, dared to disobey the king's orders.

So, after leaving aside the king and the kingdom, the content of the negotiations between the two sides is very simple.

Both sides held each other's captives, with Rhodok capturing 6 knights and 21 nobles' sons of Uxhall and Suno, as well as more than 100 soldiers from all three sides. Byron, on the other hand, took more than 500 prisoners, including 7 sergeants. But even so, Count Mateas demanded that Byron return all the prisoners, and even a sum of compensation. As for the reason, it is natural that those aristocratic lords are too valuable and need a large ransom to be released. In fact, if Byron didn't pay this money, their family would come out sooner or later, but he might as well simply sell his favor here, and by the way, push away the 10,000 dinars promised to Uxhall's troops.

But to be honest, he didn't want to return these prisoners, because his main purpose was to weaken the opponent's combat effectiveness, and returning these 500 people to the other party was to enhance the opponent's combat power in disguise, and he would rather pay more money than hand over these soldiers who had been on the battlefield and had certain combat experience to the other party.

Of course, Count Mattas also understands this, but it is just an old trick of asking for a lot of money to pay back, and he gives in very quickly. Rhodoc freed all the captives, as did Byron. However, Mateaspoch eventually took a step back and agreed to exchange the captives' weapons and armor, while Bai Fang Ze didn't have to give anything.

This was what Byron had gained from his advantage in battle.

In the course of the negotiations, a new deal was reached for the town of Serindil, which had previously belonged to Byron.

The location there is awkward now, the occupying side can easily be cut off by the other side, and Serindil's grain reserves have long been empty, and most of this year's harvest has also been expropriated, so it will be a loss to occupy there, the troops are likely to starve, and it will be difficult to hold there.

This, combined with Byron's raiding of the surroundings of Agolon Castle, forced Count Mateas to abandon part of the area and concentrate supplies in the castle.

So he sold Serindil and the land away from the castle to Byron, who was to settle the mess in the area. Byron must also stop his current behavior, pay the 5,000 dinars of Mat'as for the ransom of the prisoners, and promise not to harass the castle and the surrounding area for three months.

It wasn't a good deal by any means, but Byron agreed. Because he saw another path, now Svadia is in chaos, and Rhodok's side is not comfortable, and it is not the best way to completely turn to one side.

Maybe he can do something with the help of the Rhodok nobles in the future......
