Byron immediately gathered his soldiers, stepped up the sale of booty, and repaired weapons and armor.

And to motivate them, Byron promised to reward them with 300 dinars after the fight, which would be distributed according to their battlefield performance.

And Byron also took them to meet the officer in charge of this mission, the other party was a standard Nord veteran, a big beard, strong and a little fat, and he talked to Byron very boldly.

Byron invited him to a drink, and he happily showed Byron around his Nord warriors, all of whom were wearing thick chain mail and chain mail, and some of them had iron scale armor on the outside, and they looked very powerful when they wore Nord helmets.

Many of Byron's soldiers had envious expressions on their faces, which was good for boosting their fighting spirit and desire to fight.

This is the 4th level class of the Nord Kingdom, the Nord Warrior, one-on-one and the current Fatis are not left behind. As for their officer, he is a senior Nord soldier, a sergeant-level existence, and he can completely fight with Alleyne.

Moreover, the captain told Byron that they still had a hundred mercenaries ready to go, and he said that even if they faced two hundred pirates head-on, they would be able to win.

After listening to the captain's words, Byron's Swadia soldiers finally regained their confidence and ignited their fighting spirit.

And Byron was also satisfied with another thing, and Byron's grooms and workers began to aspire to become official members of Byron's army. They also received a share of the loot in the previous battle, and also received Byron's reward.

Even the horsemen used the little money they had saved to buy themselves a piece of leather armor for the village militia, sharpening their sabers, hoping to pick up a leak in the battle. If they were really hired by Byron as soldiers, their salaries and packages would be twice as good as they are now.

Byron also regained his self-confidence, and when he returned, he gave a victory speech to the soldiers, after which he told them to go back and get ready.

There were more than a dozen pieces of chain mail captured after the last battle, and Byron singled out 6 pieces of undamaged ones and gave them to his militiamen, and now Byron's Svadia soldiers were all untrained Svadian light infantry.

In addition to a piece of soft armor and chain mail for each person, each person was equipped with an iron helmet of a pirate, two spears, a Germanic sword, and a reinforced kite-shaped shield. These things are not cheap, especially shields, most of the Nord shields are round shields, and kite-shaped shields are not easy to find. Moreover, not many of Svadia's infantry use kite-shaped shields, but it is still quite suitable for Byron.

Byron's previous losses were great, but the loot was also abundant. Even if some of the equipment repair and purchase costs are covered, there is still a lot of money left.

The day before departure, Byron invited his soldiers and the captains of several other mercenary teams, as well as the soldiers in the city who participated in the mission, to have a big meal, although there was not much wine, but all kinds of food were very good, and a meal cost Byron more than 30 dinars, almost two cows, which showed its abundance.

Early the next morning, more than a hundred soldiers set out, and they were going to the hiding place of the pirate in the nobles' intelligence.

On the way, Byron rode a horse and saw the whole picture of this army. Counting his own troops, their number was close to two hundred.

Nearly fifty cavalrymen rode horses to patrol the vicinity, or to guard both sides of the ranks. The troops in the middle are in a row of two or three people, walking on the road like an army marching, and they still look quite imposing.

Byron now has less than 50 men at his disposal, but he believes that it will not be long before he will have such a team of hundreds of people. At that time, many people will take the initiative to contact him for a job.

As they approached the position of the pirate camp, the cavalry scattered and slowly surrounded the area, and Byron dismounted and walked on foot to avoid being spotted by the opposing sentry.

The camp is located near a sandy beach near the coast, where there is a natural cave where you can live and a natural pier that is perfect for small boats.

Byron and a few commanders crept behind a hill above the beach, from where they saw several speedboats parked in the docks, as well as pirates gathered in piles to eat and share the spoils. Byron alone was able to see no less than fifty pirates. And there are people on those speedboats, and there are fires in the caves, and the number of people is estimated to be quite large.

It was evident that they were very careful, and there were quite a few sentries nearby, as well as archers. And even when they're resting, most of the pirates are wearing armor and have their weapons by their side.

"There's no such thing as a good way, their sentinels are so well arranged, and they're all going to find out about us."

Byron carefully looked at the terrain for a while, as well as the personnel arrangement of the other party, a little discouraged, he originally wanted to kill those sentries one by one and then engage in a high place to surround and attack them, but now it seems that it can't be done.

"Let our crossbowmen shoot their archers, and then there is a path over there, presumably left by the pirates themselves when they came in and out. It's a little narrow, but if we are fast enough, we can get through. By the time our soldiers fought with them, they had no time to care about the beach on the other side. When the time comes, our cavalry will rush in from the other side, and as long as there are no traps, we will be able to destroy them all. ”

Commander Nord carefully observed the situation in the vicinity and made a combat arrangement.

Byron and several other captains agreed to his arrangement, and expressed confidence in handing over the troops to him.

In fact, Byron didn't really trust him, but he really couldn't think of a better way.

After returning to his ranks, Alleyne and Bandak had no objections, and Bandak led the light infantry to take out their crossbows and half-crouched to the edge of the high slope, where they stayed with the other mercenary crossbowmen and archers, and each aimed at his own target.

And the Nord commander also stood at the front with his Nord warriors, and Alleyne also stood in the team. Then came the equipped mercenary infantry, then the light infantry, and Byron and several other mercenary captains stood at the front of the light infantry and mercenaries, leading them to charge. In the end, in order to prevent a sneak attack, there are also Nord commanders who also arrange two Nord warrior queens.

They waited for a while, and the pirates began to change the guard. The pirates who had finished standing guard and the people who replaced them were not wary at this time, and when they wanted to talk casually to each other, the Nord commander gave an order, and more than twenty crossbows and bows were fired together, and more than a dozen pirates who stood guard and changed the guard were shot at once, and the archers arranged by the pirates before basically fell under this shot. Maybe they'll get back on their feet again, but at least now they won't be in trouble.

Bandak's heavy crossbow pierced the helmet of one of the pirate squad leaders, and the guy lay on the ground before he could make a sound.

"Attack!"

Commander Nord roared and led the charge towards the pirates below.

The other soldiers also lined up in two and rushed towards the pirates, raising their weapons and shouting loudly, "Rush!" Kill! ”

The pirates were taken aback by the sudden casualties and shouts, but they were experienced bandits after all. In a burst of invective and roars, they quickly grabbed their weapons and rushed at Byron, and even formed an inconspicuous phalanx as they ran.

Just as Byron had guessed before, when Byron and the others washed up on the beach, the pirates in the boat and the cave also picked up the guys and joined the battle, so that the number of pirates exceeded a hundred.

But Byron was not afraid, and even shouted as they quickly formed a formation and charged on the beach:

"I'm going to make a bowl of your skulls, too!"

As for whether the other party can understand it, Byron doesn't know.
