"How does it feel, sir?"

"Very nice, Shirley, I'm comfortable."

Von Byron was lying on the bed, naked.

On his back, a blonde prostitute wrapped in a cloth with only her private parts was smiling and massaging his body, her face flushed.

Byron squinted his eyes and relaxed his body. Although there is still some resistance to this in my heart, my body has fully accepted this irresistible pleasure of men.

Ironically, Byron came to Suno's most famous place in the Wind-Moon to pursue love. Of course, it was not the pursuit of love with these dusty women, but the Miss Nerda who he could never forget.

This autumn's harvest was good, and the hard work of the farmers made up for the damage caused to the fields during that war. When the peasants happily sent their harvest to the warehouses or mills, Byron's rule was finally truly recognized. People no longer fear for their safety and are no longer ready to move somewhere else. When they met Byron in the street, they would salute him respectfully and greet him, not out of fear.

Jamila counted the food and charcoal in the town, and estimated that the town could have a warm winter this winter, and no one would die of cold and hunger. Even the homeless were semi-forced to find them jobs and a place to shelter from their heads.

Everything was working as it should, and even better was that some local people of prestige were willing to work for Byron and become officials in the town. With their help, Byron didn't have to be busy with those chores endlessly, and had time completely to himself.

He came to Suno again, hoping to see Miss Narda again, communicate with her, cultivate a relationship, and then find an opportunity to confess.

In order to meet Miss Nerda, Byron went to several knights of the Earl's house to sell his Peony mercenaries under the pretext of selling his own Peony mercenaries, but the real situation was to probe about Miss Nerda.

But what he didn't expect was that the young knight was not very serious, and after the two drank high, Byron revealed that he was still a virgin, which caused the other party to ridicule, and took Byron to the best brothel in Suno, attracting top prostitutes.

When Byron woke up the next day from the Gentle Country, he had already said goodbye to his virginity.

It's a vague impression, but it's really cool.

Eventually, however, Byron met Miss Nerda, and he was remembered.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Lord Byron. I remember the last time you played in a competitive tournament, you were very brave. ”

Although it has a polite meaning, Byron still feels sweeter than eating honey. They chatted for a while, and Nerda's attitude towards him was not bad, which made him even happier.

Because he was too excited, he couldn't control it, and he came to the brothel again before going back. The full set of services is really exciting.

After dealing with personal problems, Byron also rushed to the east of Suno to meet with the Peony mercenary group led by Kenrad, check the current situation of the troops, instill in the new mercenaries the concept that he is the boss, and take them to the city to rest for two days by the way, and the most important thing is to upgrade all the soldiers who can be upgraded. In a situation where the cost of wages does not increase as in the game, upgrading troops is a surefire deal.

The first snow of the year came a little early, and Byron rode the thunder to inspect the current Peony mercenaries when the light snow fell.

Kenrad ran the army really well, and after Byron had passed the ranks, there were already 55 mercenary cavalry and 120 mercenary riders in the unit, as well as dozens of Salander riders who followed Kenrad. The quality of the infantry was also high, with a mixed squad of two hundred mercenary swordsmen and mercenary infantry, and 80 mercenary crossbowmen. However, the most eye-catching among the infantry are the professional killers who ride on horseback, and the level 5 infantry in the mercenary tree. Those soldiers were covered in plate armor and chain mail except for their eyes, and they were first-class foot fighters.

More importantly, Kenrad managed the discipline of the troops very well, allowing the Peony mercenaries to exist as an elite mercenary force rather than a group of rabble, which saved Byron a lot of trouble.

With Byron's financial support and Kenrad's own management, the development of this half of the mercenary group he brought out has been higher than the level of the entire Peony mercenary group before, and even Byron was surprised that Kenrad could command so many troops, and his command level was likely to be higher than Byron's.

Fortunately, after a period of contact, Byron knew that Kenrad was a loving and loyal man, and he had decided to follow Byron before, so unless Byron did something he really couldn't bear, he would still remain loyal to Byron and fight for him. Otherwise, with so many troops and such a high level of influence among the troops, Byron himself would have been worried.

However, if it is said that trust, the hero under his command is probably only Fatis who can make Byron hand over the command of all the troops, and neither Ellen nor Kenrad can do it.

Byron planned to enter Suno with his mercenary troops to have a good time, but the officers defending the city refused to let so many mercenaries into the city. It took Byron several hours to get through the relationship, and repeatedly vouched for it, so that the Peony Mercenary Regiment, which numbered more than 500 people, proudly entered this ancient and wealthy city in this period of civil war and turmoil.

Just as in the past, Byron spent a lot of money to prepare feasts and treat his soldiers to eat and drink. Despite this, the food on the table was not as good as before, as civil wars and wars with enemy nations affected the trade routes throughout the kingdom, causing the prices of various luxury goods, especially salt and spices, to skyrocket. This was directly reflected in Byron's banquet table, where the amount of salt and spices used in the food was more than halved, while the price did not change.

However, this also means business opportunities, and Manid is planning a large-scale caravan trade, as long as the snow melts in winter, he can make a lot of money. Of course, this must have the help of the peony mercenaries, because whether it is north or east, it is chaotic, and going past without protection is tantamount to looking for death.

At the banquet table, Byron chatted with Kenrad for a while about the development of the Peony mercenaries during this time, as well as the specific forms in various parts of the kingdom.

He also asked Ken Lad some questions, such as what he needed now, and the other party's answer was very simple.

"Dinar! We need more dinars. ”

Kenrad replied almost without hesitation.

"Business is good now, isn't it? Is there any place to spend so much money? ”

Byron asked with some surprise when he heard Kenrad's answer.

"Now the mercenary group has indeed started to make money, and there are quite a few troops. But if we can't do business, then it's hard for us to feed these soldiers, and the existing soldiers can't do much. If we have enough military strength, even if no one hires us, we can still be our own masters and make money in our way. ”

"You told me you wanted to match the power of an earl, and you needed a force that would help you capture the fortresses of towns full of Rhodoks. In that case, our army is far behind. ”

Kenrad replied.

"That's right, Kenrad, you're right. I do need a lot of soldiers so that I can still have a voice in front of the big lords. But Serindil couldn't feed so many people, and it wasn't a good place to live. Now the kingdom is in chaos, and even if there is a war with a neighboring country, the king will not be able to control it. The truce with Rhodok has expired, and I'm going to make a big deal. ”

Byron nodded, his face dark.

"I'm looking for allies who think the same way, but I need to have an army beyond that..."

"We'll do it, Lord Byron."
