"Don't let any of them go, all of them who are poisoned will be killed, and they won't be saved anyway."

Byron took out his handkerchief and wiped the blood from his face, which had been spilled while mending a knife to a guy who was struggling on the ground. He shouted to the soldiers around him, and then there were a dozen swords and axes in succession, and the robbers lying on the ground could no longer move.

"Sir, we caught one of their sergeants, and the other was poisoned with wine."

Fatis pressed his sword and dragged a guy with his hands tied and his mouth full of foul language.

But when the other party saw Byron, he immediately retracted those swear words and became serious.

"Look at the sign, you must be the captain of the peony mercenaries?"

The other party squinted at the peony pattern painted with red dye on the armor and shields of Byron and the other soldiers, and asked politely.

"That's right, it seems that we have a lot of reputation now."

Hearing the other party's question, Byron smiled at the people around him.

The enemy can remember the name of his mercenary team, which is considered an improvement, an improvement in reputation.

"For the mercenaries who participated in the killing of our adults, I remember the name of each of their teams."

The sergeant sneered.

"Originally, we were going to 'visit' you, but it seems that we don't need to. Give me a happy death, I don't have the money to redeem myself. ”

"Very good, backbone, but how you will die depends on Earl Dale William, you go and tell him."

Byron turned, and Fatis took the bandit leader with him.

After the count, only one Nord light infantry was killed on Byron's side, and several were wounded. And this bandit army is completely wiped out.

The number of poisoned robbers exceeded 60, and more than half of the robbers drank something or washed their faces when they got up in the morning. Those who drank the poison died, and those who washed their faces with the poison were fine, but they were dizzy and disgusted for a while, but they lost their combat effectiveness at the critical moment and were all captured by Byron's soldiers.

The rest of the people were completely confused in the face of the surprise attack, and they were crushed by the Peony mercenaries who had been preparing for the night, and all but a dozen prisoners who had dropped their weapons were all killed.

Byron didn't leave anything of value behind, because under the guidance of the system's yellow arrows, they took away all the money and belongings that were hidden nearby. They used the robbers' horses to carry the booty, but there was no shortage at all, and many of the captives carried the booty they had plundered for Byron like mules.

Each of the soldiers who participated in the operation came back with at least two sets of armor and some weapons, and although they were tired, everyone showed an excited expression. For Byron had promised them that half of the booty they were carrying belonged to them, except for the booty, which was to be returned to the Count and the inhabitants of the village.

This was requested by the Earl, and if he did not bring it back, he would not receive the bounty. Of course, Byron could have made a part of it dense and used the rest to make a difference.

[One-handed proficiency +2;]

[You have successfully destroyed the bandits, and you have won the gratitude of the Count and the villagers, and your reputation is +10;]

In Emilyin, Byron brought the leading sergeant and a gang of robbers to Earl William Dale, and the soldiers and villagers in the vicinity all gathered, all with angry faces, if it weren't for Byron and them, I am afraid that these robbers would have been torn to pieces in the blink of an eye.

Earl William Dale was about to go out at this time, but he was also stunned when he saw the scene in front of him. He didn't expect Byron to be so efficient. This made him both happy and embarrassed.

Joy is naturally able to execute these villains who have destroyed their territory, and the embarrassment is that he didn't expect Byron to move so fast, so he ...... I can't get a commission for a while......

The 1,000 dinars of his own commission, as well as the additional 1,000 dinars from Count Claes, were all used up by him.

However, Byron not only exterminated the robbers, but also brought back many of the things that had been looted during the looting of the villages, and did this with great success, so he had to give the money, otherwise it would damage his reputation.

Originally, this money was nothing to him, but he was very short of money for a while, and he also bought a good horse and a new set of full-body armor to participate in the knight's competition.

Moreover, the damage caused by this robber attack was very large, not only could not collect the taxes, but the damage caused by the village itself was not enough to repair, and his last surplus money was also used to pay the salaries of the troops and lend to the village elders to rebuild the village.

So, now, he can't even take out 500 dinars.

It seems that they can only lose some capital and use things to top, anyway, these mercenaries must have extra income when they pay off the robbers, so they shouldn't say anything...

Byron didn't expect Earl William of Dale to be so generous, and when he first saw his expression when he came out, he thought that the other party wanted to pay the bill.

It seems that nobles are nobles, and they are bold enough.

The Count praised Byron's exploits, tried the robber sergeant of Rhodoch in public, and sent him to the gallows with his own hands to the cheers of the crowd.

As for Byron's due reward, he did not give Byron dinars directly, but thought that the silver coins were not enough to recognize Byron's merits, and gave Byron three military horses, as well as three sets of heavy cavalry equipment, which are all standard in the Swadia Kingdom, with excellent quality, and a complete set of armor and military horses is almost 1000 dinars, which is very bold, which is equivalent to increasing the bonus by half.

Naturally, Byron preferred these armors and military horses to bounties of one or two thousand, which were expensive to the merchants of the city. Even Byron himself was no better equipped than the heavy cavalry. Being able to get the equipment to arm three heavy cavalry, he naturally made a lot of money.

He didn't know that this was the horse and equipment that Earl Dale William had taken out to settle the bill, so he thought a lot higher of this earl in his heart.

After thanking them, he returned to the city with the soldiers, and invited them to spend the night in the city's taverns and inns, after which he began to look for buyers to dispose of the captured armor and weapons.

As for the three sets of equipment, Byron gave the horse to Ellene, and then separated a whole set of armor with Fatis Ellene, and installed the appropriate size parts on his current armor, and after the three of them got together, they had good equipment all over their bodies.

As for the other two, they were given to John and another hired rider with previous experience in leading a team, and two caravan guards who could almost be upgraded inherited their previous equipment to fill the gap.

Once they were equipped, the system sent a hint to upgrade, and the two of them became "untrained mercenary cavalrymen" dressed in Swadia heavy cavalry equipment. From this point of view, in fact, the equipment of the 5th level soldier such as the mercenary cavalry is not much better than the heavy cavalry of Swadia, otherwise the system would not make such a judgment.

However, those real mercenary cavalrymen are good at combat, and they are no worse than ordinary kingdom knights on horseback, and they still have to work this. Especially the horsemanship, including Byron himself, the cavalry of the entire Peony mercenary team must be trained well.
