Mount & Blade: Wind of War

Night falls and the bonfire burns.

At this moment it was no longer suitable for marching, and it was time to set up camp for rest.

Beside the fire, a chubby little girl with blond hair and white jade-like skin was holding a large piece of barbecue and chewing on it desperately. She was the existence that those powerful human warriors tried their best to protect before.

Although it looks like a very cute human cub, it seems that it is not worth the efforts of so many powerful warriors.

"This is Anna Han Andekule Gudwis Youssef... Her Royal Highness Princess Couture."

"call……"

When a guard female knight introduced the little chubby girl's name from beginning to end, almost everyone around him breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the tradition of the Styak Empire royal family is to put the names of the elders in front of the younger ones, and then add them up. When the generation of Princess Anna comes, her name will naturally be staggeringly long.

The most annoying thing is that the Styak Empire requires every knight to learn and recite these names, otherwise he will not be able to graduate from school. So when the guard female knight recited these names, Alleyne and Resa Ritter's expressions are quite wonderful.

Fortunately for Rhodes, although memories related to his predecessor also emerged when he heard these names, he was able to suppress them, so his expression remained as normal.

"Her Royal Highness Anna is His Majesty the Emperor's most beloved daughter. If Lord Rodhart is willing to escort His Highness back to Fastel, I believe that His Majesty will not forget your hard work."

As she spoke, the female guard knight looked at Rhodes with burning eyes. She had been taking care of Princess Anna for a long time, and she had developed feelings for it. She was not only responsible for the safety of the princess, but also her sincerity. I hope the princess can escape safely.

"Sorry, I refuse."

"What?"

"Because I have more important things to do now."

"Is there anything more important than protecting the safety of the princess? Are you really a knight? Protecting the safety of the Styak royal family is the responsibility and obligation that every Styak knight should fulfill!"

Because of Rhode's refusal, the female guard was immediately angered and stood up, but she didn't think clearly whose territory this was. As soon as she made a move, there were more than twenty heavy crossbows around her. Pointed at her.

For the people of the wilderness, the awareness of the country is very weak, but the loyalty to Lord Rhodes is already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"Listening to the previous description, you have also seen those space cracks. If they are not closed, the entire wilderness will sink into hell. At that time, endless hell creatures will pour out, and the central part of the northern province, empire, and the entire country will be destroyed. In this situation, I really can't make a decision that puts the entire country in danger for the safety of a member of the royal family."

Of course, Rhodes is proficient in the art of being a man of two generations, and righteousness prevails over others. Gushan Castle is his foundation. Saving this little chubby girl back, and then being sent away by the emperor with a reward of one or two villages, this kind of choice It's not impossible to choose, but it certainly won't be a priority.

At least, Rhodes was able to make the decision only after conducting a mission test and finding that there was indeed no chance.

"But you can't succeed. Silver Frost City's 40,000-strong army was defeated by a meteor shower. What's the use of just a few of you?"

"I really don't believe that magic like Meteor and Fire Rain can be cast repeatedly in a short period of time. What's more, from your description, it seems that the hell dragon is still stuck there and has not come out... My purpose is, It’s not about expelling the hell dragon.”

"According to my spies' report, there is a huge skeleton furnace in the sin city of Konstat. Compared to the magic dragon you mentioned, I think this is the most critical location."

Although Rhodes was unwilling to protect the princess when she returned to the imperial capital, which angered the guards around Her Royal Highness, the little princess Anna Han unexpectedly relied on Rhodes. Although she is only six years old, she already has her own thinking consciousness. She has been so frightened during this period that no familiar people around her can give her a sense of security.

The scene of Rhodes charging down on a leaping horse with a gun gave the little princess an extremely strong visual impact. Immediately afterwards, those terrifying and stinking undead creatures retreated.

So after eating and drinking, the little girl followed Rhodes like a follower. Several guards around her wanted to take her down to wash up, but Anna yelled and repelled them.

"That's all, let her stay with me first. I also have someone suitable to take care of her. This little guy is too frightened. She now feels that she is safe only if she is with me."

"Don't worry too much. Situations like this will gradually ease as long as you return to your relatives after a while, at least as far as I know."

With that said, Rhodes summoned the elf girl Likiya Qiusha. With the reputation of Lord Rhodes and the elves as a guarantee, the female guards who were extremely tired themselves looked at each other and finally breathed a sigh of relief. The matter was admitted.

Watching those extremely loyal female guards retreat, Rhodes leaned over and hugged Anna. Looking at the little girl in front of him, what he was thinking was:

"You say you love her very much, but if you really dote on her, why would you send your young daughter to the northern province? After all, you just need an excuse to make trouble in the north, but you didn't expect to encounter such a thing. You are so lucky..."

The addition of more than 20 people did not have much impact on the team as a whole.

Except that the little princess relied too much on Rhode, nothing else happened.

If Lonely Mountain Castle was safer at this moment, then some people should be assigned to send this group back to Lonely Mountain Castle, but even Rhode was not sure whether Lonely Mountain Castle was safe now.

At the beginning, he took advantage of the internal and external troubles to seize this town. The situation of Lonely Mountain Castle is not much better than that of the Mountain Fortress at the beginning. The Mountain Fortress completely collapsed after the witch died. The same is true for Lonely Mountain Castle now. If Rhode died in the battle, it would probably collapse immediately.

The unexpected rescue of Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Styak Empire touched everyone a lot.

Especially Airen, for the first time he began to doubt whether the uncrowned king of the northern province, the female duchess, was more powerful, or the Lord Rodhart of the Lonely Mountain Castle, who had great potential for development, was more suitable for him to offer his loyalty.

If he could survive this battle, stabilize the wilderness, and the Lonely Mountain Castle could get in touch with the imperial family, then...
