Mount & Blade: Wind of War

"Janice, control your emotions. I can help you get revenge, but not in the near future. However, I can clearly promise you now that I will help you chop off Konstart's head and let you take it to commemorate your deceased family."

After patting Janice's shoulder, Rhodes left with Nicolet, who shook her head and sighed, leaving only a poor woman curled up in the corner, enduring the pain alone.

At this moment, Rhodes finally understood why Janice had been so desperate all along. It turned out that hatred could really support a person to keep gritting his teeth and moving forward.

"I never thought that Ms. Janice had such a painful past." Walking beside Rhodes, Nicolet took the wine bag tied around her waist, took a sip, shook her head and sighed.

"Constat is a big thief who has been rampant for many years. He has at least 8,000 enemies, but most of them are dead, and the vast majority of the remaining ones are not a threat to him. If it weren't for my unexpected appearance, Janice would have been a crazy woman in the mining area all her life, and her story would not even be known to people."

"Sir, will you really declare war on Constat to help Janice avenge?"

"Why not? Lonely Mountain Castle, Sin City, Silver Frost City, there can only be one in this area, two are too many, let alone three? A good city will siphon resources around it, just like Lonely Mountain Castle and Silver Frost City, and although no one takes the initiative to go to Sin City, they are used to plundering people, which is actually stealing wealth and stealing my authority."

As the magic disaster subsided, Rodhart of Lonely Mountain Castle, Constat of Sin City, and Isa of Silver Frost City, there was bound to be a war between the three cities. Janice's request was actually just giving Rod an extra reason to start a war.

After Rhodes came out of the underground mining area, he returned to the city lord's mansion under the protection of the guards. In the horse field in front of the city lord's mansion, Rhodes saw Cress, who was riding a horse and throwing javelins and practicing martial arts.

At this moment, there was a faint red current jumping around Cress, blessing her speed and strength. When she rode past the three scarecrow targets, three javelins whizzed out and hit them all.

Although not all of them hit the scarecrow's head, none of them missed the target, which was already a very difficult accuracy.

"Good!"

"Master?!"

"Master!! Usually you are not in the office at this time, how come you have time to come out and watch me practice today?"

Cress rode excitedly to Rhodes, who clapped his hands in admiration, and the little girl turned over and jumped off the horse skillfully and landed lightly.

"Elder Nicolte called me over for something, and I saw you on the way back after handling it. You practiced really hard, wipe off the sweat."

Looking at the little girl in front of him wiping her sweat with her elbow, Rhodes smiled softly.

My arrival changed the fate of many people and made the fate of many people develop in a better direction.

Of course, it is undeniable that it also cut off the fate of many people, and will cut off the fate of more people in the future.

Time passed day by day.

With the improvement of reputation, more and more poor people came to Lonely Mountain Castle. The population of the whole town reached 15,000, and it was still increasing with the passage of time.

Around Lonely Mountain Castle, more and more manors and farms were reclaimed, mills were built, and livestock farms were built.

Slavery brought great convenience and development advantages to Lonely Mountain Castle, but not all jobs were suitable for slaves to do. Therefore, there was almost no idle person in the rapidly developing town, and everyone could find a job.

However, if you want to survive in this world, it is not enough to be good at developing the economy. If you develop the economy well but do not have enough military protection, it will only make the looters gain more when they rob.

Fatis is undoubtedly a trustworthy person. He has a loyal character, reliable strength, and no other characteristics in military tactics, just a stable word.

Rhodes handed over the Dark Mystic Cavalry that he had carefully selected and trained to him. Fatis led this cavalry unit to patrol the sphere of influence of the Lonely Mountain Castle. All the alien thieves and wilderness human thieves gradually became frightened of him.

Rhodes felt that even if he personally led the Dark Mystic Cavalry, he could only do so much.

Fatis made the captured and killed people into human head stakes and dead spirit trees to deter the enemy.

Being loyal does not mean that the means cannot be cruel. On the contrary, Fatis is almost a bit of a hateful person, and he never shows mercy when killing evildoers.

Looking at those wooden stakes with human heads and those dead spirit trees full of corpses, even the most vicious aliens or wilderness thieves can't help but be frightened. As Fatis killed more and more wilderness thieves, he naturally attracted the attention of Konstart, the leader of the City of Sin.

However, Konstart's first reaction was not to fight back, but to shrink his forces, and then plunder more people from the south to expand his power.

After becoming a stable local separatist force, Sin City itself became the largest demander of slaves.

Then, not long after, Rhode received a letter from Konstart, delivered through the caravan, which clearly stated: "We are all forces in the Wild Plains. Sin City has no ill will towards Lonely Mountain Castle. On the contrary, we all have to be careful of those forces outside the Wild Plains."

"According to the information we got from the merchants, the relationship between Silver Frost City and Sin City has become increasingly tense. After all, our population is sparse, and most of the population is within the protection range of the town. The thieves in Sin City dare not get too close, especially after the repeated clearing and hunting by the Knight Fatis."

"In contrast to us, the economy in the south is prosperous and the population is large. For Sin City, it is a piece of fat meat that cannot be given up. Therefore, the reason why the old guy Konstart wrote this letter is very simple. He needs to stabilize us and concentrate all his strength to deal with the pioneer lord alliance of Silver Frost City."

In the meeting room, many civil servants and knights of Lonely Mountain Castle gathered together again. As Rhode asked questions, the people present had to take an attitude to deal with it, which was related to the future development direction of the territory.

"I suggest that we wait for the outcome of the battle between the Alliance of Pioneering Lords of Sin City and Silver Frost City before we make a choice, because time is on our side. With each passing day, we become stronger." Mo Ken, the first civil servant of Lonely Mountain Castle, said this. More than a year has passed, and the first civil servant has the temperament of a scholar. He stood up and spoke, wearing a monocle.
