Mount & Blade: Wind of War

Under pressure from the situation, and because of the near death of his loyal subordinates, Rhode had no choice but to raise his intelligence attribute to the same level as his strength attribute: both strength and intelligence attributes were 13 points.

Among the four attributes of strength, agility, intelligence, and charm, Rhode was most reluctant to add points to the intelligence attribute, because in addition to the panel data, personal attributes also have a practical use attribute. When the latter exceeds the former, the former will automatically increase. When the former far exceeds the latter, no matter how high the panel data is, it is meaningless and useless.

Compared with the actual combat attributes such as strength and agility, the intelligence attribute is too illusory and relatively more difficult to exercise.

In other words, if a person's way of thinking and habits do not sublimate and change, then no matter how high his intelligence is, it will only strengthen his memory and other aspects, and there will be no obvious and significant improvement in other aspects.

Although he chose to accept the refugees from Harker Town, Rhode then stipulated in the order that the refugees from Harker Town were second-class citizens:

They must be clearly distinguished from the original residents of Redwood Town in terms of joining the army, promotion of officials, obtaining official supplies, taxes and labor, etc.

Because you have not made any contribution or construction to the development of Redwood Town before, it is unreasonable to let you come here to pick up the fruits for free. Rhode explained these different treatments to everyone and asked to write them into the territory laws in the future.

But Rhode did not completely deny the refugees of Hack Town room for promotion. Ten years later, if the refugees of Hack Town have no criminal record, they will become residents of Redwood Town.

Or if someone in the family has made meritorious service in the army, or someone in the family has made meritorious service as an official, after these obvious contributions, they can also be directly promoted to residents of Redwood Town and enjoy all the same benefits as the original residents of Redwood Town.

Regarding this issue, the more generous mayor and elder Enger came to Rhode specifically to ask if these regulations were too harsh and excessive, but Rhode insisted.

Mr. Enger, he is talented, knowledgeable and moral, but it is a pity that he is facing an old monster and cheater who has been bombarded by the information age for more than 90 years.

The reason why Rhodes insisted on such an obviously discriminatory and harsh decree was because he had learned about "Roman citizenship" through the Internet era in his previous life. He knew clearly that in many cases, excessive pursuit of absolute fairness is the greatest unfairness.

The ancient Roman citizens of that time had the power to vote, honor, trade, intermarry, migrate, tax exemption, lawsuit, criminal immunity, etc., and below the Roman citizens, there were several classes such as female Roman citizens, Latin citizens, friendly citizens, provincial citizens, free citizens, and slaves.

Many people ruled by ancient Rome, throughout their lives and even for generations of their descendants, have been trying their best to pursue the promotion of their own class. In a sense, ancient Rome was glorious because of this.

But later, a Roman monarch issued a decree to abandon this system... Then Rome went from prosperity to decline and finally to destruction.

"If I now give the refugees of Hack Town the same social status and rights as the original residents of Redwood Town, it will not only be my own betrayal of the original residents of Redwood Town, but also make it difficult for those refugees of Hack Town to cherish things that are easily obtained. This is human nature."

"Although Elder Eng has certain insights, it is a pity that the insights accumulated over time are far from enough. Being a mayor is already the limit, but my territory does not have outstanding civil servants."

When Redwood Town digested and absorbed "annihilating the jackal tribe and receiving the legacy of Hack Town", two other things happened. One of them was that a militiaman who Rhodes had sent to Beckning County before came back, and he successfully exchanged a preserved head from Rhodes' private collection for 200 gold coins. The militiaman spent all the gold coins in Silver Frost City and exchanged them for various supplies. Then he followed the caravan carriage back to Redwood Town and completed the task perfectly.

As for the second thing, the creditor of Rhodes' predecessor came to collect the debt.

In the middle of the cold winter in the wilderness, the weather was gloomy and dark, but the air was fresh and clean. This was a good day to sleep in.

A large group of carriages trampled on the frozen solid dirt road and came to the expanding Redwood Town. The current Redwood Town is a human settlement area surrounded by rows of wooden fences. There are not many wooden houses in the town, and most of them are continuous tents.

However, in such a simple environment, there are a group of people who are sweating and working hard, which makes people feel a kind of vitality and hope for the future.

"Everyone stop, you are already in front of the territory of Redwood Town. If you want to pass through here, please pay the business tax and abide by the local laws, otherwise we can't guarantee your safety." Behind the wooden fence, an archer on the high tower shouted, and soon a team of soldiers holding wooden shields and spears appeared and began to check the caravan.

"Look, I don't think I was checked so strictly when I went to Bright Moon City. What prohibited items are you checking? Tell us so that we can know whether we have them with us." A female knight with long blue hair and fair skin, who was originally wearing a cloak, lifted the top of her cloak and lowered her head to tease a Redwood Town militiaman who was checking a carriage not far away.

This Redwood Town militiaman, who was only in his teens, had never seen a girl as beautiful as this one in front of him since he was a child, and his cheeks flushed immediately.

In a panic, this young man told everything he knew like a bamboo tube pouring beans:

"The chief said that some wilderness thieves would disguise themselves as caravans, then enter the town and set fire to plunder at night. He asked us to carefully check the suspicious teams. They must not be allowed into the town, otherwise my father and my mother , my grandfather might be killed."

In the Middle Ages, a nobleman who did not produce anything, read books, had a quiet temperament, and paid attention to personal hygiene. If such a person's charm could be converted into a numerical value, it would often be several times higher than that of a commoner.

For example, the personal charisma of Rhodes' personal maid Kress is only 4, while Rhodes's initial charisma is 9.

Therefore, under such circumstances, it is completely normal for a country boy who has never seen the world to be "charmed" by the smile of a female knight from a big city, because he has little experience and will not be able to see the world. Maybe there is a high degree of resistance to beauty.

"Beck, what are you doing? Why don't you go back and continue checking."

Fortunately, at this time, a veteran captain of the militia came forward and yelled, and then glared viciously at the female knight with long blue hair and fair skin. However, he did not deliberately embarrass the caravan. After careful inspection and no problems, the caravan was allowed to pay taxes and enter the city.

"Ruier, what do you think of this Redwood Town?"

After the caravan entered the town, they happened to encounter some townspeople using carts, pushing a huge jackal corpse out of the town. There were also many people carrying a prepared cross stake together. They seemed to be planning to Nail the giant jackal's body on the cross stake.

The corpse of the huge jackal, which was nearly three meters high, made the female knight Ruier, who had always seemed very careless and indifferent, change her expression.

"Far stronger than I imagined...much stronger. I originally thought that a pioneering lord who could mortgage his territory for gambling would have no future. But now that I have come all the way, no matter the quality of the militia, The development of the territory and the morale of the people are somewhat higher than I expected. "

"The young guy just now has obviously only joined the army not long ago, but judging from his reaction and the way he holds the weapon and his footwork, he already has a good foundation. This at least shows that there must be a very good military instructor in Redwood Town. If the situation permits, I hope you can win over this gentleman." The female knight Ruier replied softly, showing an astonishing comprehensive quality.

"That Mr. Rodhart is said to be from a famous Eastern military noble family. It is very normal for a family like this to have one or two talented and loyal retainers around them, even if they have completely declined in wealth and status. , it seems that we won’t be able to receive this land this time.”

In front of Rui'er, there is a man covered in gray robes, riding a horse. However, the people around him are naturally lagging behind, faintly showing a natural aura of power and status.

It is rare for such a large-scale caravan to come to Redwood Town. Especially soon after the establishment of Redwood Town, all aspects of urban functions are relatively poor. Therefore, when most caravans pass by here, they would rather set up tents outside the town than come in. Pay the commercial tax again. After all, tents are set up both inside and outside the town, and the safety factor in the town is not much higher than outside.

It was the first time that Redwood Town received a large caravan of more than fifty people. The mayor Enge, who was making dough in the bakery, ran out and shook hands with the female knight Ruier with his palms still stained with flour. The other party didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

After learning that the caravan wanted to see the local lord, Enge did not refuse, he just said to inform them first.

At this time, in the Lord's Mansion, the only wooden house in Redwood Town, Rhodes was personally taking care of the wounded soldiers of the militia group, in order to deepen his understanding of the Holy Light Qi Heart Method. He could now confirm that the Holy Light was The heart-binding method can interact with system skills. This means that Rhodes has found a way to accelerate the practice of the Holy Light Qi Heart Method, which will be of great benefit to his future practice.

It's just that those wounded soldiers didn't know that they were being treated as guinea pigs by their lords. After coming off the battlefield, they were arranged in the lord's mansion, ate and lived with the lord, and were taken good care of. Everyone was grateful and wished they could Died in battle serving Lord Rodhart.

Rhodes's actions also made Fatis think that he is a lord with extremely kindness and integrity. This is very important for Fatis who was confused and lost his pursuit. Therefore, his favorability increased greatly, which made Rhodes Directly completed "Soul Salvation 1/5".

Received a reward of 400 dinars, and Fatis will also stay in Redwood Town for two months.

Although he joined temporarily, it is still uncertain whether Fatis will surrender to Rhodes in the end, but Rhodes can already see Fatis's personal attributes. However, humans are creatures who know too much and will not feel happy. , many times knowing too much makes you unhappy.

As mentioned before, a hero's strength and potential largely depends on his hero characteristics. Personal characteristics are often a summary of his character and abilities.

A few days ago, after the battle in Snow Valley where the jackals were annihilated, his confidant Raymond was promoted to the Charles Leopard Spirit Hunter. Rhodes was originally very happy, but people have to die when comparing people, and goods have to be thrown away. After watching Fatis' After adding the personal interface and hero attributes, Raymond’s personal interface became unreadable and made me want to die.

Fatis's two heroic characteristics are both very practical and powerful. Needless to say, his unparalleled fighting spirit. All personal combat skills are passively increased by 1. This is still in a broken state. If the fighting spirit is repaired, it will probably be greatly strengthened. , the heroic trait of the Indomitable War Horse may not seem very eye-catching, but it is extremely practical. A powerful knight has completely different combat power with and without horses on the battlefield. The degree of damage to the enemy may be ten The growth rate is weakened by about 20 times.

Fatis has been wandering in the wilderness for two years. In the past two years, he has been mentally decadent. When he came out of home, he didn't bring much money. In addition, he set too many self-restrictions and did not use his martial arts to make money. Now he has almost only All that's left are a few pieces of clothing and an old horse.

After doing a lot of work here at Rhodes, it was normal for him to eat and sleep here for a period of time. In addition, he was really optimistic about Rhodes and wanted to know more about this Eastern lord, so he temporarily stayed in Redwood Town. .

Although Rhodes wanted to keep him, he could restrain himself and did not show it. Instead, he spent almost all the money he had left on him to reward Fatis first and then let him stay: a gentleman can bully him. It turns out that within two days of staying here, Fatis began to teach Kress martial arts voluntarily and consciously. The martial arts that Fatis taught Kress were almost like yoga movements. It was a technique for exercising flexibility and agility. It was far more suitable for developing Kress's potential than anything Rhode knew.

On this day, Elder Enge arrived and informed Lord Rhodes that the steward of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce had come to visit.
