Mount & Blade: Wind of War

Late at night, the lonely mountain castle in the wilderness.

In the office of the City Lord's Mansion, Rhodes stared at the document in his hand, reading it over and over again, thinking about the meaning of the information.

At this moment, he was waiting for the arrival of the civil servants and knights of Gushan Castle. In the battle on the southern front, it seemed that Silver Frost City had suffered heavy losses, not only in terms of its own elite troops, but also in terms of prestige.

After all, Silver Frost City is the initiator and leading force of this joint military operation. Now that the coalition forces are almost completely wiped out, how to give an explanation to these forces is a huge problem. The biggest problem is that it is impossible to give a reasonable order to all Everyone was satisfied with the explanation.

It involves the pension and resettlement of tens of thousands of people at once. Even Bright Moon City behind Silver Frost City may not be able to bear such financial pressure.

But on the other hand, it doesn’t necessarily need to be borne. When everyone knows that they cannot afford it, then as long as the moral issues are discarded, there will be no problem.

To put it more clearly, it means that after the big forces have been laid low and defeated, in the past few years, the rules will be restored again, and even today's battle will become increasingly diluted.

As far as Gushan Castle is concerned, it seems that this southern battle has nothing to do with Gushan Castle, but in fact Gushan Castle is the party with the greatest relationship, because this force is established in the wilderness. Once the hell demons surge in endlessly, Enter, it is difficult to say whether Gushan Castle can be saved.

Even if Rhodes is ruthless enough to abandon Gushan Castle and return to Redwood Town for development, once the demonic tide spreads, it will be a question whether the entire northern province can stay, not to mention Redwood Town.

Although the information in Rhodes' hands was a little vague, how could Rhodes, who had been dealing with space cracks for a long time, not understand what the Silver Frost City coalition forces were facing.

"Most of the soldiers and civilians at Gushan Castle are willing to follow me, but if there is no place to live, the daily consumption of basic supplies by these soldiers and civilians will become a huge problem for me."

Rhodes walked to the window of the office and stared at the scenery outside the window. At this moment, it was quiet and beautiful there, but in the future, these quiet and beautiful things would most likely be completely destroyed.

"Lord City Lord, Moken, Valian, Guido, Janice, Lesarit and other adults have all arrived, and they are waiting for you in the conference room."

"Okay, Qiusha, thank you."

"Sir, do you want me to make you a cup of calming tea? You have been too tired during this period. Take a good rest after the meeting."

"No need, the Gushan Castle now needs me with more fighting spirit, not me who is sleeping."

In the conference room, almost everyone fell into silence as they looked at the battle report in front of them. They all knew clearly what the huge dark red gap meant. I'm afraid it was more than just a meteor shower.

It is very possible that the earth has been completely occupied by a group of terrifying monsters.

"What should we do next? Do you have any ideas? Tell us and listen." Rhodes gently knocked on the long table and said with a smile.

Although the situation is tense, he cannot follow everyone's seriousness. If the coach is not confident, everyone's energy will be exhausted.

"I suggest giving up Lonely Mountain Castle immediately and retreating to Redwood Town. Judging from the battle report, the space crack that appeared on the southern battlefield is unimaginably huge. God knows what will come out from there. The wilderness has once again become a It’s a restricted area for humans, we have to give up if we don’t give up.”

The one-armed Walian stood up first and expressed his opinion.

This choice is difficult for everyone to make, but on the other hand, everyone has seen the combat power of those hellish creatures. No matter how strong the lord is in commanding the army, no matter how strong the Gushan Castle is, no matter how thick the walls are, he will be trapped in a certain death situation. In this situation, this kind of thing doesn't make much sense.

"I... second the motion." Guido slowly raised a hand and said with some difficulty.

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

Radhi, Qiao Lin, and Resarit expressed their opinions one after another. In the end, among the people in the conference room, only the first civil servant Moken and the second civil servant Janice were left who did not express their stance.

Janice because of her personal vendetta, and Morken because of his devotion to Lonely Mountain Castle.

He was born and raised as a servant, married a wife and had children here, met Lord Rodhart, and completed a grand event together, and then devoted all his energy to the development and construction of this town, and worked together with all his efforts. Pay into it.

Now, it is so easy to give up, it is really like cutting off flesh.

"I...attached..." Trembling, he slowly raised his hand before Moken could say the last word.

Rhodes suddenly spoke: "If I don't fight, I just give up. I won't be willing to give up. If you want to win, you don't have to have strength and capital. The most important thing is to have confidence and courage." "If you give up, you will definitely lose. If you try, you still have half a chance."

"Sir, you..." Rhode's words brought Mo Ken back from the edge of mental collapse.

He may not have thought otherwise in his heart, but he was a civil servant, and as a subordinate, instigating the lord to take such a strange risk was undoubtedly disloyal and unjust, and he failed to fulfill his duty as a subordinate.

"Moken, next I will take away all the elite soldiers in the city, leaving you with only some auxiliary soldiers and security teams. During the time I am away, you must keep a close watch on our home. "

"Sir, please rest assured. If there is any mishap in Lonely Mountain Castle during this period, the first person to die must be me, Morken. Sir!"

At this moment, Morken was really excited. He knew how dangerous it was to fight in all directions. He also knew how dangerous this lord was taking this trip. So Morken stood up and knelt in front of Rhodes.

"On behalf of the civilians in Lonely Mountain Castle, I thank you for your protection."

After all, Lonely Mountain Castle was Rhodes's one-man show. If he said he wanted to fight, then the others had to give it a try.

Of course, everyone also had great feelings for this place, so although they felt it was dangerous rationally, they were willing to accept it emotionally.

And Rhodes was not just gambling. Through the tasks given by the system and the intelligence at hand, he had already discovered the fatal weakness of the sinful city of Constat, but even if he knew it, this trip would still be very dangerous.

"It's hard work, cutting through thorns and brambles... But if it's not difficult, haha, I'm actually not interested."

"The more difficult the task, the higher the reward!"

In fact, Rhodes had decided from the beginning to accept the system task and conquer the city of sin. The reason for holding this meeting is just to brush up the loyalty.

If it's just a peaceful life, Rhodes has lived such a life for more than 90 years in his last life, and there is no point in repeating it again.

In this world where the demon tide is surging, he has talent, opportunities, potential, and territory, and he has reached the highest position that he dared not even think about in his last life. With the character of Rhodes, it is impossible for him to choose to give up.

Everyone will die. Even if he can't succeed, dying on the road to success is also a pleasure.
