"You and your warriors are truly heroic, the short-necked George is a prisoner in the city with a bounty, and our people who go to the city and the passing caravans have been robbed several times by them."

In a small village that is not mentioned in the game map, Byron is eating at the Elder's house.

When Byron brought the robber captives and the corpses of the soldiers to the village, the village patrol was startled.

At this time, Byron learned that the man who had been beaten and surrendered by Fatis was the leader of a well-known bandit team in the vicinity, nicknamed Short-necked George (although he was not short-necked), with about thirty men under his command, and often attacked small caravans.

Because he had been a militia captain in a nearby village, he was familiar with the environment, and he was also a cunning person, and the patrols of Uxhall arrested him several times without success, because he affected the commercial development of the city, and the mayor even offered a reward of 200 dinars for his head.

This bounty is actually not high, and the biggest profit is the property hidden by these robbers, after all, the other party has robbed a lot of caravans, collected a lot of tolls, and the hidden money is at least thousands.

Byron they took out and captured a dozen robbers, and it is estimated that there are more than a dozen in the forest. I wouldn't dare to go to Forest Byron again, but the bounty can still be earned.

In order to thank Byron, the elders did not charge them for their lodging, and hired the only shaver in the village who knew how to heal to treat them for free.

That's right, it's really a shaver, and it seems that the shavers in the western part of the mainland all have part-time jobs as rural doctors.

After burying the dead and comforting the seriously wounded, Byron gave each surviving soldier five silver dinars, and he paid for all the expenses until he was healed.

Even the two grooms, who were hiding behind the carriage, gave one dinar to each of them for not escaping.

As for the guy, Byron told him: give him a chance this time, if he still dares to touch something that doesn't belong to him, Byron will directly chop off his hand!

Although the soldiers' mood stabilized, Byron was still distressed.

He thought that it should be no problem to run a short distance business with a dozen militiamen, but the reality is cruel.

With his manpower, if he smuggled across the border and encountered an enemy such as a rebel army and bandits, there was basically no hope of victory.

Byron they rested here for three days, and the wounds of the seriously wounded began to heal. They now follow the team in a carriage. Fortunately, the robber's bow and arrow were not powerful enough, not only did they not hurt Byron, but the gas in the car was fine, and Byron's most important asset was still there.

As they were leaving, four young men approached Byron with their own weapons and equipment.

They had all heard about Byron's exploits, had seen the starving short-necked George with their own eyes, and had chatted with Fatis all day.

After listening to Fatis's heroism and chivalry, they were not willing to live in such a mediocre life, and the sons of these peasants had a hard time getting ahead in the army.

After much consideration, they decided to join the "benevolent and wise" Mr. Byron, like Fatis, in his quest for imaginary riches and glory.

Faced with these young people who have only received simple training from the village, the professional mercenary captains will choose to refuse.

These children have not yet seen real bloodshed, and letting them fight bandits and soldiers is almost the same as sending them to death.

But unfortunately Byron is not such a person, he is also very young, so young that he always ignores the lives of others.

Paying them and employing them to work for him was fair to Byron. As for the question of the safety of the soldiers, he could only say that he would do his best.

This time, Byron had four more men in his ranks, one more than he had fought with the bandits before.

After taking the weapons produced in the village and putting on the militia armor, these newcomers were judged by the system to be untrained militiamen.

And just like that, Byron once again gathered his troops and set off.

Because of the wounded in the ranks, Byron's speed dropped a lot. Fortunately, the roads were relatively safe, and there were occasional militias patrolling around the village, so nothing happened.

Perhaps because of the timely treatment, the condition of several seriously injured people did not deteriorate, and the wounds also scabbed and they were able to walk normally.

Byron is now more eager for doctors in the army, now the number of people is small and it is nothing to deal with, in the future, there will be a large number of wounded after the first battle, if you are far away from the cities and villages, there are no good doctors, the fatality rate of infection will exceed 90%!

Moreover, the problem of investigation has also been put on the agenda, and the biggest problem in this battle is caused by the lack of detection.

To strengthen reconnaissance, it is better to train a couple of light cavalry, just ......

Byron didn't have much money now, so he had to put this plan on hold and let John ride a horse and lead the militia to explore the surrounding area for the time being.

After a week of walking, Byron and his family finally reached Uxhall. It is also a large city with a population of more than 10,000, and there are large monasteries and highly specialized churches in the city, and the religious atmosphere is much stronger than other cities.

Because Byron and they caught the short-necked George, the soldiers at the city gate directly asked someone to take them to the captain of the city defense and the mayor of the town, and a few people came over to watch the fun.

Even the tax on entering the city was discounted for them.

"That's right, this is the guy! Short-necked George, we've been holding him for half a year. ”

The captain of the city defense took a closer look at the bandit leader who had been "well cared for" by Byron and them all the way, and his whole body had lost weight, and nodded to the mayor with satisfaction.

"Well done, brave warrior, this is your bounty."

After confirming this, the mayor paid the money very happily and handed over a bag of silver coins to Byron.

"You're welcome, sir."

Byron took the coin and saluted.

"We've taken a few other captives and brought them to justice."

Fatis also nodded, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was very in place.

"That's right, we would have hanged them with this short neck."

"But things have changed a little now. Most of the prisoners on the front line were held in Uxhall, and there was no room for those few little ones in the prison for the time being. And they don't have any bounties, and you don't make any money. ”

"I recommend that you go to the man in the tavern in the city who is engaged in the 'human trafficking', and they will pay a good sum of money, and it will be a punishment for these thieves. ”

Mayor Mare said to Byron.
