If the battle between the Peony Mercenaries and the Green Forest Brotherhood can be regarded as a battle, then this trap can be regarded as a phased victory for the Peony Mercenaries.

After having his arm broken and half of his teeth knocked out, the village mole finally told Byron everything he knew. And Byron also gave him a good time, and claimed that the man had died of blood loss.

Bury him and those dead robbers, what can the nobles say, and what can the magistrates say? Although this is not allowed by law, who will have a bad relationship with him because of this "little thing".

In this day and age, many people are dead, no different from the death of an animal.

The Peony mercenaries quickly pulled out several of the Brotherhood of the Green Forest, and by torturing and interrogating the captives, they found more information about the Brotherhood of the Green Forest.

Now that Byron had a general understanding of the strength and specific situation of this forest brotherhood, he realized that he had made a lot of mistakes before.

He underestimated the strength of the Brotherhood, he thought that the number of bandits killed was only 200, but in fact, the Brotherhood infiltrated the surrounding villages, and the number of people developed was almost 500, almost equivalent to the total population of an ordinary village, and more than 300 of them were able to put together simple armor and weapons to fight.

Moreover, this gang of robbers has a certain organizational structure, and there are some cooperation with businessmen like Golden Hand, so they have developed very well, not only have they been growing and growing, but also have their own characteristics--- the official members of the Brotherhood wear hoods when they rob.

In addition, there are many conflicts between them and the bandits who have been swept away by Byron, and the two sides often fight for loot or spheres of influence. Byron's arrival allowed the two sides to reach a temporary truce and fight against Byron together.

This is no longer just a gang of robbers, if they continue to develop their mother, they may even become a small group of warlords. Moreover, Byron has completely become hostile to them, and the conflict of interest is also very serious, and there will be death between the two sides.

Byron was at a disadvantage in numbers, and even if the quality was high, it was difficult to cope with three or four hundred robbers at the same time.

So he struck from two sides, procuring plenty of arrows and spare weapons from the towns, as well as enough supplies. While offering high prices to recruit scattered mercenaries everywhere to join him, and repeatedly suggested that the local nobles take action, he finally won the assistance of a regular aristocratic army of more than fifty people. Of course, the commander of this army is still the knight from before.

Byron, on the other hand, stopped hunting down the bandit forces of the non-Brotherhood and even sent people to negotiate with them. Although it was insincere to send twenty or thirty heavily armed soldiers to negotiate with the other side, in the end the robbers chose not to go to war with Byron.

Some of the bandits left the area and went out of reach of the Peony mercenaries, some stayed but remained neutral in this battle, and some even expressed their willingness to join the Peony mercenaries if Byron could guarantee their personal safety.

And the most surprising thing for Byron was Kress who suddenly appeared outside the camp, and the dozen or so bandits she had brought with her.

Of course, Byron had little interest in the dozen bandits, and what really caught his eye was the black female archer with a bow and arrow on his back.

The player's instinct tells him that it is one of the heroes of the slash, the tough foot archer Desaivi.

"Captain, I'm back, and I heard that you escaped from the battlefield, which is not a sign of heroism."

As soon as they met, Byron was choked by Kress, and there were many people next to him, and when the other party asked him this, Byron had to let out an awkward laugh and tried to change the topic to alleviate the embarrassing situation.

"This is..."

"Desaivi, their head, your cavalry was chasing us all the other day."

Desay replied with a blank face, and Byron felt more embarrassed than before. The robbers didn't look at him quite right, and many of them had their hands on their weapons all the time, and seemed confident in Byron and his soldiers.

"Well, it seems that you still don't trust me much, so let's talk here."

Byron knew that even if he invited them in, it would only increase the other's vigilance. So he also called the rest of the heroes, and several people talked face to face outside the camp.

Kress walked up to Byron and gave a brief introduction, which meant nothing more than that Desai Wei and his bandits had been suppressed by the Green Forest Brotherhood, and they were constantly weakened because the strength of the other party was too strong. She came here today to negotiate with Byron and jointly attack the Brotherhood of the Green Forest.

This suggestion was prompted by Kress, who trusted Desaivi after only two days of contact, and the other party seemed to accept her easily. Just like in the game, Desaivi has a bad mouth and is very disgusted with men. But she has a good relationship with Kress, and in the game Kress also intends to help her get revenge together.

In reality, although the personalities of the two are somewhat different, their relationship is really good. After only two days of contact, they trusted each other.

"Kress said you don't care who we are, I don't believe it."

Desaivi's tone was blunt and tinged with disdain.

"If I were you, I wouldn't trust such a guy."

Regarding Desaivi's questioning, Byron laughed it off.

"But there is a good saying, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. If our goal is the same, then we don't have to waste our tongues here. ”

Byron said to Desaivi in as plain language as possible.

"The Brotherhood is indeed our enemy, but so were you. How can you guarantee that you won't destroy us after we've helped you? ”

Desaivi understood Byron's words, she opened her thick lips, and continued to ask Byron a question.

"I have always kept my promises and never reversed. Well, why don't you join us, and I promise you the same treatment as my soldiers. And I promise that no one in my team will laugh at you because of who you are. ”

Saying this, Byron threw an olive branch, hoping to recruit the hero Desayvi.

"Join you? I don't have that intention. ”

Desaivi shook his head, as if he didn't look down on Byron and his troops, and directly rejected Byron's invitation.

"I can trust you once, but I have to tell you, I'm good at archery. If you dare to repent, I'll shoot through the head. ”

Desaivi's tone didn't change, but her words made Fatis and Arenn tense, and their hands moved to their waists.

Byron waved his hand, signaling that they didn't need to be nervous.

"I also believe in Kress's words, we can work together. I guarantee your safety, and I won't trouble you if I win the Brotherhood. If I repent, you can shoot me as much as you want. Come to think of it, I don't get anything from you, you don't even have a bounty. And there are more than a hundred people in this camp, but I personally came outside the camp, and walked to the distance where your bow and arrow could easily shoot me, what else do you have to worry about? ”

Byron said this, taking a purse from his waist and handing it to Desaivi.

"There are 300 dinars worth of gold and silver coins, which is a little deposit for me."

Desaivi took the wallet and opened it to look at it, his expression a little complicated.

"Okay, I'll help you, remember what you said."
