Chapter 252 Going Home to Farm? Not Happening

The day after the war, the lords of the coalition army discussed how to take down Biddo Castle, but before they finished discussing, several people came out of the castle, led by a knight holding a white flag, claiming to come to negotiate on behalf of his lord, Sir Bright Sean.

When the two armies met yesterday, the people in the castle were also anxiously waiting for the result. As long as the Kent army defeated the coalition army, they would be able to get out of the siege.

Unexpectedly, the sky did not go as people wished. They only heard rumbling sounds from the east, and then saw the coalition army returning to the station in high spirits and having a party all night.

The coalition army also deliberately planted the tattered flags of the Kent family and other vassal families in front of Biddo Castle to demonstrate to the people inside.

It is obvious that the Kent army was defeated and the people in Biddo Castle have become trapped.

Including the garrison and nearby villagers, there were more than 1,000 people in the fort eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. After being besieged for so long, the food supply was about to run out. In a few days, even without the coalition forces attacking, the people inside would starve to death.

Sir Bright Sean had to make the decision to surrender. However, as a nobleman, he still needed a "decent" result, so he sent his retainers to negotiate.

After some bargaining, the two sides reached an agreement:

1. The alliance recognized and supported the Sean family to continue to be the undisputed ruler of Bidoburg and its affiliated territories;

2. The Sean family separated from the Kent family and joined the anti-Kent alliance;

3. The Sean family had to pay 6,000 Aldo gold coins or equivalent items as compensation, 2,000 of which could be paid first, and the remaining 4,000 would be paid in the next four years;

4. The defense of Bidoburg would be taken over by the coalition forces until the Kent family was defeated;

5. The people of the territory should not be prevented from migrating to other territories (this clause was proposed by Bryce, who represented Alda).

Although he was very reluctant, Viscount Sean still signed it. It was a very decent result that he was not deprived of his title and ceded territory.

At 2 p.m., the gate of Bido Castle slowly opened. Under the gaze of the coalition forces, Derrick Heller led 1,000 people into the castle, confiscated the weapons of the garrison in the castle, and dismissed the soldiers and ordinary people. Viscount Sean was left with only 20 personal guards and 15 family knights.

At 3 p.m., other lords and generals in the coalition led part of the troops into the castle, controlled every corner of the castle, and completed the occupation of Bido Castle.

In the next few days, in addition to guarding against the counterattack of the Kent family, the lords also had to argue every day about how to distribute the spoils.

Bryce and Joyce did not participate in the competition for the spoils. Because the Alda army showed great strength in the battle, many people secretly showed goodwill to them and tried their best to win them over. Prespark and Derrick Heller privately swore that they would never treat them unfairly.

After several days of reconnaissance, the coalition found that the Kent family had not gathered any troops except for strengthening the vigilance of the border towns of the territory.

At a meeting, someone suggested: "It seems that the Kent family will not make any moves for the time being, it's time to withdraw!"

Bryce was puzzled: "In this case, we should take advantage of the victory to fight!"

The other party shook his head: "The soldiers are eager to go home to work, and they will mutiny if we continue to fight."

Others also said: "Yes, we must continue to fight, but we have to deal with the current spring plowing first, and I think the Kent family is the same."

Bryce then realized that unlike the current Arda army, these lords' troops - including knights and soldiers - were temporarily recruited.

Although it is the obligation of knights and people to serve the lord for free, it is also limited. If it exceeds a certain period, the lord will have to pay his officers and soldiers. Obviously, this will make the lords of the northwest, who are not very wealthy, feel painful.

Moreover, during the days of stationing in Bido Castle, except for the Arda army, the coalition forces from top to bottom took advantage of their own "supply grounds", and with the rewards from the lord after the victory, everyone made a small fortune, and the soldiers were even more eager to return home.

What happened later made everyone finally determined to withdraw the army - the Kent family sent an envoy to negotiate the redemption of the prisoners.

Earl Parker had previously made it clear that the redemption of the prisoners would be discussed after the battle, so everyone agreed that the Kent family's re-raising of this matter was a test - whether to continue fighting or temporarily suspend the war.

It happened that the coalition forces also wanted to suspend the war, so they tacitly negotiated with the envoys about the redemption of the prisoners, but neither side mentioned signing any formal contract, that is to say: after this busy period, they will continue to fight.

So Bido Castle was guarded by the Malken family and the Johnston family, and the troops of other territories were disbanded and went home, and agreed to assemble the troops again in May to launch an attack on the Kent family's territory.

Bryce and Joyce also led their troops back to Arda, and traveling with them were many former residents of Biddoburg with their families.

In the past few days, people nearby knew that there were such a "gentleman army" who did not rob the people and bought things to pay. The army would not be too bad. In addition, Bidaoburt's main compensation to the coalition forces a lot of money does not know why it is well known, and the amount of amount is more and more exaggerated, from 6,000 gold coins to tens of thousands of. This scares the leaders of Bigabao, and the main money that the main compensation must not be searched from them.

So fled this place is a matter of success. As for the destination, is there a better choice than Alda?

Sir Sean, who is still under house arrest, has no way to do it. Except for the just -signed agreement, he has no troops to stop such things. He can only lose his temper at the house every day.

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

The Alida army basically reached the target of this trip -ensure the safety of the region between Bigo and the coastline, and establish a defensive zone for the commercial road to the south.

What should I do next? Like other lords, the flag is drumped for a month?

Of course, the soldiers of the Alda army do not need to go to the field to work. They train every day to kill the enemy more efficiently.

While Bryce rode his horse, while listening to the letter from Joyce's reading of the staff.

In the letter, most of them praised their performance in the battle, greatly rising the prestige of Alda and Beldin, and strengthening their right to speak in the league.

However, the last paragraph is the focus, and Bryce is also very energetic:

The first battalion of the infantry, the second infantry battalion, and the artillery were stationed in the border after arriving in Alida, and were prepared to march at any time to march at any time.

The two battalions laughed at each other: It's time to really wash the humiliation last year ...
