Byron led this mixed Nord and Vecchian force to the border of Vecchia and Svadia, but before arriving at the border, he suddenly received a message from the owner of his blacksmith shop in Kulau. As Byron's army passed through the vicinity of Zhivadin, a local nobleman reported the matter to King Yarogerk.

Despite the good things that many of the nobles had to say about Byron, the bald head was unhappy with the fact that the Swadian lords had openly entered their country and recruited troops across the Vecchian snowfields, and he was also interested in Byron's own abilities. So he ordered the border troops to prohibit Byron from returning home, and also summoned Byron. However, the king apparently did not pay much attention to this, and the secrecy was not done well, and Byron already had some contacts among the upper nobility of Vecchia during this time, and this important information reached him before he arrived at the border.

Byron immediately changed his direction, as the risk of breaking through Vekia's border head-on was too high. Not to mention how many defenders there are on the other side, if the battle starts, the Wiki troops under him are estimated to rebel directly, they are now newly recruited, and there is no way to guarantee loyalty. Moreover, he also represents the Swadia aristocratic class to some extent, and if this causes conflicts between the two countries, then King Haraus will probably cut him down directly for this reason.

Fortunately, he had a good guide in his troops, Porcha, who might not be entirely familiar with every inch of Calradia, but who was a master at getting criminals or smugglers across the borders of a country.

They drove until dark, then left Vekia at the edge of a forest where snow tigers and wolves frequented, where few soldiers patrolled and scattered patrols could easily be eaten by the snowy beasts. And for a large army like Byron, those beasts can't hide from them, how can they attack them?

Once you cross the border, everything is fine. It is estimated that there are few people in the whole of Svadia who have not heard of the name of von Byron, although the rumors say that he is dead, but it is not difficult to prove, not to mention that the garrison of this border has met him a few times and recognized his identity. The only problem is that the civil war is still going on, and it is really suspicious that Byron will suddenly appear with a troop at this time, in order to prevent them from helping the rebel forces on the side of the Count of Sweden, so they must stay where they are and not leave.

But Byron did not want to stay here, fearing that he would betray the king, and that when the news reached the nobles who were hostile to him, someone would come and attack him. So he demanded supplies and shelter for his troops on the grounds that they were too numerous, and swore that he was by no means a rebel, saying that such an act was an insult to him, and that his rhetoric and the dissatisfaction of his soldiers were almost like a threat.

The leading nobleman was a little frightened by Byron's words, and looked back at his troops, which were less than one-third of the number of the opponent. Previously, in order to confirm Byron's identity, he left the border post and the wall, and if he really wanted to make a move, he would definitely not be the opponent of the other party. After much consideration, he decided to give in and let Byron and them cross, and the troops immediately entered the outpost, so that they would not return to attack them after passing through.

However, Byron did not have time to consider his problem, and soon after the crossing, Vecchia's troops arrived at the border, and reported in the name of the king, and they came to ask von Byron if he had crossed the border. But it's a pity that Byron has already entered the territory of Svadia, and the guards on the border naturally can't let them bring Byron back, not to mention that their troops are not enough to defeat Byron.

In this way, the troops continued to advance along the road towards Dehrim, and the peony flag was raised all the way. Byron had also considered whether to hide a little before, after all, there were many nobles who Swadia didn't like him. But he felt that it was more important than this to let more people know that he had returned to Svadia with great power, and that all a military aristocrat like him could rely on was the army in his hands. As long as he can prove that he has the strength to command this army, then even King Haraus, who once wanted to kill him, will take him seriously, because he has what all the powers need in this troubled world - an army!

In this way, under the surprised gaze of the Svadian nobles along the way, von Byron, the baronial lord who had been judged to have died in battle, once again appeared on the territory of Svadia, followed by hundreds of soldiers from Nord and Vecchia. Many nobles suspected that he had been bought by the Nords, and called him a spy for the Nords. Others thought Byron was a hero after hearing the story of how he returned to Swadia, and many of the local barons and knights of Swadia took the initiative to greet Byron's troops as they passed through their territory, and invited him to his home to enjoy the light.

This time, Byron was not in a hurry, he went to the appointment with several leaders of the troops, and did not refuse once. He recounts his experiences at the dinner table, and Porcha and Mathilde bring it up from time to time to make the story sound more real. Sometimes, a talk is half a day, which makes the owner of the house praise again and again. There were even bards who served the aristocracy who wrote a poem on the subject, and spread this peculiar experience throughout the region of Dehrim.

Along the way, almost all of the supplies of Byron's troops were purchased by him alone, and the troops who had accumulated a lot of loot in Vekia would also trade with the locals, and Byron also specially asked Porcha to act as an interpreter to avoid any possible conflicts between them and the locals. In this way, although there were many people who were suspicious, the reputation of Byron and his mercenary group was quickly restored, even better than before, which was inseparable from his series of measures and the control of the troops.

And so, with only a few silver coins left in his wallet, he finally came to the city of Dehrim, and met his old boss, Count Claes. The Count himself came to the city wall to meet him or arrest him, but he greeted the Count very politely and answered all the questions he asked. Satisfied, Count Claes opened the gates and let him in, while his troops settled in the camp of the Peony mercenaries outside the city. After the last big battle, the empty camp finally became lively again.

"Lord Byron?! It's really you! I could hardly believe my eyes when I received your letter. ”

As soon as he entered the city, Manid rushed to him excitedly and bowed deeply, and Byron immediately helped him up.

"yes, I'm back. I von Byron, lord of the barons of Svadia, owner of the Peony mercenary regiment is back. Byron looked at the familiar landscape around him and said with emotion.
