After the Peony mercenaries were attacked by the Brotherhood of the Green Forest, Byron offered the Brotherhood a bounty of 5,000 dinars, and in order to ensure that his reputation was not damaged, he paid 5,000 dinars out of his own pocket as a deposit to the royal housekeeper before recovering the stolen goods.

For a time, all the robbers between Dehrim and Parabun were unlucky. If they can provide the news that Byron wants, then Byron will let them go, even give them a little money. But if it can't be provided, Byron will clean them all up!

When Byron arrived in Suno, he showed the left ears of more than 130 men, all of whom had been killed by the robbers. The captives of more than forty robbers were also handed over to ransom brokers, and for a time all the robbers in Svadia were in danger, leaving behind the camps and hideouts that had been in operation for a long time, and fled to other places.

Byron mobilized all the men he could muster, and spent money to temporarily recruit many mercenaries, and the size of the army had exceeded that of ordinary barons.

Under the sweep of this force, there was no bandit force in the whole of Svadia except for the so-called Brotherhood that was able to resist.

Byron and Alleyne, Fatis and Bandak, each with dozens of elite cavalry and a large number of infantry, entered the forest and searched for the bandits.

Moreover, a local baron also sent a knight and dozens of soldiers to help in the name of protecting the territory of security, but Byron felt that they should have been eyeing the robbers' hidden belongings, because they did not work hard during the battle, and when they finished searching for the booty, they moved quickly and frighteningly.

But it is always good to have more men, and even if the troops were divided into two teams, Byron still had about a hundred soldiers under him, all well equipped, and thirty of them were cavalry. For supplies alone, there were five wagons loaded.

Byron's efforts paid off, and with the confirmation of nearby villagers and hunters, they finally found the approximate location of the brotherhood.

"The farmers in the village, as well as the hunters and charcoal burners, have told them that they are in the forest in front of them, shall we go in now?"

Alleyne stood beside Byron, pointing his finger to the dense forest ahead. And behind them, the soldiers were feeding the horses, and by the way, they themselves had a good rest and prepared for the previous battle.

"Don't worry, Fatis and they haven't arrived yet, it's too risky for us to go over like this."

Byron took a small stool from the carriage, sat down, and ate dry bread and jerky.

Before, when Byron and the others were cleaning up bandits in other areas, many of them fled to the side of the Brotherhood, even if it was conservatively estimated, the number of the other party would not be less than two hundred and fifty, even if the equipment was inferior, they could not relax their vigilance.

Fatis had more soldiers than he had, and the Baron's soldiers were with them, and the battle would only be safe until Fatis and them arrived.

"Kress is back scouting, you might as well follow for something to eat."

"No, sir, I now desire revenge."

Alleyne fiddled with the gloves in his hand, keeping his eyes fixed on the woodland in the distance.

After waiting like this for a while, there was finally movement in the woods.

But to everyone's surprise, the robbers came out of the woods on their own initiative, and about two hundred people were arranged in a haphazard manner in the clearing in front of the forest, half of them had homemade bows and arrows in their hands, and the bows were very bad and not powerful enough. Only about a third of them were armoured, and the rest were not much different from the peasants, and the weapons in their hands were indescribably crude.

"What do they want to do? Looking for death? ”

Even Alleyne, who was eager for revenge, was a little confused at this time. The opponent gave up the forest home field and fought them on flat ground? Even if they were to double their numbers, they would not be able to match Byron's troops.

"Is Cress still a scout back?"

Byron tensed up and asked with a serious expression.

"No news."

"Bad thing."

Byron thought for a moment, then gave the order.

"Everyone, get ready to fight!"

For a moment, the food was dropped or put away, the horses were put on blindfolds, and all the soldiers took up their weapons and lined up in formation. The soldiers patrolling in the distance also immediately returned to their ranks, the light cavalry lingered nearby, and the heavy cavalry lined up on the flanks and were ready to charge.

The bandits of the green forest did not attack immediately after coming out of the forest, but they still did not form a formation, but knocked on the crockpot and iron pot in the distance, and even urinated on Byron and them, humiliating them.

Byron's mercenaries soon couldn't stand it anymore and asked for orders one by one.

However, Byron is a little suspicious, the commander of the other party dares to do this, there are only two possibilities, or he has no brains, but it can be determined from the previous sneak attack that this is not true. The second is that a trap is set on the other side waiting for them, and Byron is very suspicious of this.

Alleyne didn't take this guy and robber seriously, but he admitted that he needed to be cautious after what happened last time. So he advised to move steadily, not too close to the forest, and attack them within the range of the bow and arrow.

Byron agreed, and the group slowly advanced about fifty meters, and the crossbowmen stood in the front row, raised their crossbows, and began to fire.

But as soon as Byron raised his crossbow, the robbers began to retreat, out of range.

"They're luring us into the forest, and we can't afford to be fooled."

No sooner had Byron said this than he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the middle of the bolts. In fact, it was not only him, but the rest of the soldiers also turned their heads and looked behind them.

They saw a group of horsemen charging at them with spears, they were quite numerous and misiblingly equipped, and they were followed by a number of peasant-like men, with pitchforks and sticks in their hands.

Because of the appearance of the robbers, Byron recalled the cavalry that had been stationed in the rear, giving these guys a chance. And the previous provocation of the robbers attracted their attention, causing the cavalry and the mob to rush so close to them.

And when the shouts of those cavalry were heard, the robbers of the green forest who had hid in the forest also suddenly shouted and launched a charge, trying to form a flanking attack on Byron.

"Alleyne, you take half of the men to block those robbers, and I'll clean up those miscellaneous soldiers!"

Byron felt a deep sense of crisis, it was calculated by the other party, including the villagers who provided the news, as well as the hunters and workers, the whole TM colluded with these robbers, and waited for this moment to form a flanking situation. Fatis: They haven't come yet, and they are probably in trouble.

Byron was annoyed that he was too careless, but there was nothing he could do, the situation of the other party's encirclement had been formed, and only a battle could break through the block.

"Leave it to me, sir!"

Alleyne replied loudly, and Byron turned his horse's head and led the cavalry unit towards the men behind.

"Attack, for the sake of the peony mercenaries!"
