Mount & Blade: Wind of War

"No, I think if we do this, the intention is too obvious. Sin City is almost impossible to be the opponent of Silver Frost City. We will continue to communicate with Silver Frost City in the future. Using your method will undoubtedly damage the reputation of the lord among the nobles."

On both sides of the long table in the conference room, Qiao Lin stood up to oppose Moken's suggestion.

"I think we should join hands with Silver Frost City to completely eradicate Sin City, a regional cancer. You know, geographically, Sin City is closer to us."

"What I am more worried about is the attitude of those pioneering lords. You know, many people from their side have fled to us during this period. Lord Fatis has even encountered several incidents of pioneering nobles capturing escaped slaves, which has caused some conflicts. Now we help Silver Frost City and those pioneering lords to fight Sin City. Don't end up not getting any benefits, but helping new enemies."

In the conference room, there was basically no movement on the side of the knights, but the civil servants were arguing non-stop. Everyone's opinions and concerns were reasonable. Only the second civil servant Janice and the fifth civil servant Ulmit were silent.

In the past six months, because a young man successfully tamed a griffin, there was hope that he could establish an air force for Lonely Mountain Castle, so there was a sixth young civil servant Jimmy in the meeting room. In addition, Rhode assigned Valen and Guido to the civil service system, so there are now eight people in the civil service system. On the contrary, there are only four military knights on Rhode's left: Fatis, Raymond, Cress, and Resarit. Caitlin is a territory mage, and she has no intention or interest in gaining political power.

The reason why Rhode assigned Valen and Guido to the civil service system is to strengthen his control over the civil service system.

Although the current control is very strong, Rhode can turn the meeting into his own one-man show at any time, but he hopes that the civil service system can give full play to its role, so he transferred Valen and Guido to dilute the status of all civil servants in Lonely Mountain Castle being slaves of the Mountain Fortress, without hurting the enthusiasm of the civil servants.

After all, it is not wrong for public security officials to be assigned to the military system, and it is not outrageous to be assigned to the civil system.

In addition to the eight civil servants, Moken, Janis, Radshi, Qiaolin, Ulmit, Jimmy, Valen, and Guido, the elder of the dwarf tribe, Nicolte, is also a civil servant, but his status is special and he rarely attends meetings. But once he attends, even the first civil servant Moken has to obey him.

"Wait a while. The letter said that after a while, there will be an envoy from the City of Sin to the Lonely Mountain Castle. Whether it is hostile or allied, we don't mind waiting for a while. Whether the opponent is the City of Sin or the Silver Frost City, it is right to strengthen our own strength."

"Knight Resarit, you have been too hard during this period. When you see Madam Jera, please apologize to her on my behalf."

At this time, Rhodes turned his head and said this. Everyone in the meeting room laughed because of this.

Resarit has a very good relationship with his wife, but he is also a little afraid of his wife. This is something everyone knows.

"By the way, I heard that Madam Jera's parents have arrived. I just got two bottles of good wine some time ago. Cress will send them to you after the meeting. Resarit will say hello to the two elders for me."

"Sir, you are too polite." Resarit said with a little fear.

Two days later, a special guest walked a long way to Lonely Mountain Castle.

Because he had a special mission, he felt a little heavy. The young knight looked up at the sky with griffins flying. He had seen the majestic town for the first time and felt a little strange.

He thought that this border city would be so remote and shabby.

But he didn't expect that the city wall was tall and majestic. In the early morning, a long caravan had already lined up outside the city gate.

Looking at the merchants in the distance handing in bags of coins, it was known that the city's entry tax would not be small, but all the merchants in the queue were talking and laughing, and they didn't seem to be dissatisfied, or they felt it was worth it.

The team entering the city advanced little by little. When it was the young knight's turn, he did not take out his purse, but took out a letter from his arms and said:

"I am Knight Airen, this is my invitation letter."

The soldier guarding the city gate was probably illiterate, but when he saw the cross sword emblem on the letter, he instinctively saluted solemnly.

"Guard Tutana greets the commander, you can enter the city at any time."

Because of the actions and reactions of the soldier guarding the city, the crossbowmen on duty on the city wall all looked over, but after hearing clearly, the soldiers on the entire wall saluted one after another, and this scene made the merchants around look at Airen in surprise.

Some merchants have been to this town more than once, but this is the first time they have encountered such a situation.

The Cross of Light!

This is the emblem and flag that Rhodes set up for his family and Lonely Mountain Castle. On the red flag, the white cross sword emblem stands in the center, like an ancient cross sword standing in the sea of ​​corpses and blood, killing a way out for the human race.

Most people in this era have no sense of design. Rhode felt that his design was just a casual one, but it became the spiritual sustenance of many civilians and soldiers in the Lonely Mountain Castle. Every day, many people would pray in the direction of the flag of the City Lord's Mansion:

"Thank you for giving us peace and tranquility, thank you for giving us health and food, may your glory never fade, may you be victorious forever."

The cohesion of the military and public opinion of the soldiers and the masses surprised the young knight Airen as soon as he entered the city, and he felt touched in his heart. However, after all, he was a knight with a strong mind and body, so Airen quickly went to the city lord's mansion. After all, at this time, the news of his entry into the city should have been passed to that adult.

In the meeting room of the city lord's mansion.

Aileen once again saw the young man who had been knocked unconscious by his sword. He had black hair and black pupils, a heroic and resolute face, and an orthodox oriental noble image.

But at this moment, Airen felt that the other party was different. The kind of momentum and pressure he felt at this moment, the powerful energy, were all things he had never seen before.

"Mr. Airen, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Come, please take a seat."

Facing the most promising hero in Mount and Blade War Wind, Rhodes was somewhat excited. When he played the online version in the past, he had never been willing to buy this hero who was worth at least a million.

He didn't have the financial resources to buy it, nor did he have the luck to get it by completing quests.
