Mount & Blade: Wind of War

At that moment, the scimitar in Rhodes' hand was only a few tenths of a millimeter away from the elite little devil's head.

However, this elite little devil knelt on the ground and grabbed the ground with his head. At the same time, this system prompt appeared in front of Rhodes:

"The little devil in the elite growth stage admires your powerful force and leads his own troops to apply to join. Do you agree?"

"……agree."

After just a moment's hesitation, Rhodes made his decision.

Although doing this is a sign of regret for those who were injured and died in battle, kindness does not control soldiers and justice does not control wealth. Sometimes, the master needs some cold calculations instead of blind loyalty and emotion.

Accepting the defeat of this demonic army will lower the morale of the human army itself, but the Fire Refining Castle needs more demonic cannon fodder to supplement it. Rather than letting them die here, it is better to let them earn profits for Lonely Mountain Castle. , and at the same time, it also reduced further casualties on one's own side.

"Stop, you all stop."

After watching Rhodes, who was riding a heavy war horse, he gently put down the knife in his hand.

The elite little devil immediately jumped up with great agility, preventing the ruling devil from continuing to fight the human army.

Of course, this also requires corresponding cooperation from Rhodes.

[This is a brilliant victory. You accepted the prisoners of the demon army, and the morale of the troops is -24. You received 481 dinars, part of the valuable loot. 】

[The current command morale is 68, some soldiers can be upgraded, and the growth hero Raymond can be upgraded. 】

"Huhu, sir, what's going on?"

Although Raymond was upgraded at this moment, he seemed a little confused and didn't understand why he suddenly stopped fighting.

He watched helplessly. A moment ago, his master had the upper hand. However, at this moment, he actually planned to let these damn guys live?

"Our territory in hell, Burning Fire Castle, Voorhees Castle (formerly Duzier Castle) all need a lot of demon cannon fodder to fill. Instead of killing them here, it is better to let them create benefits and value for us."

"What about Beru? Beru was killed by that bastard? Shouldn't we kill him?"

"But if the fighting continues, more brothers will die. Beru died to save you. After the war, give his family more pension and property. His wife is pregnant, and you will be responsible for taking care of him in the future. Children, children who are not allowed to stay in this world, wives who have been bullied, these are what Beru wants to see. As for revenge... you are not allowed to think about it anymore. I will never allow you to do anything to someone who has already been killed for any reason. Attacking my loyal subordinates."

"Master!" This was the first time in so many years that Raymond resisted Rhodes' order like this.

"The dead are gone, and so are the living. Instead of having time to yell at me, why not tie up Brother Beru's body yourself and think carefully about how to comfort his wife and parents. I hope your guilt is not explosive. Yes, forget it after a while, but it can turn into a long-term responsibility.”

After saying that, Rhodes waved his riding whip and went to reorganize the team. Raymond was not the only one who was upset at this moment. The human army had great psychological resistance to letting go or even accepting the Hell Demon Legion, especially just now The two sides were still fighting in a bloody battle together.

Fortunately, the losses on the human legion's side were minimal. Except for the death of the heavily armored griffon knight Beru, there were almost no casualties. Otherwise, the rejection would have been greater and the morale would have dropped even more.

"Why should we accept the demon army?"

"Yes, we obviously have the advantage and can kill them all quickly!"

"The Duke may not want us to suffer any more losses. He said he has the upper hand, but in fact the number of the demon army is now about forty or fifty. If we really fight to the end, we will win, but some people will still die."

"We are not afraid of death. We are afraid of death when we become soldiers. We have to share food with them. It's stupid."

However, no matter what is discussed below, it will not affect the decision Rhodes has already made.

The manifestations of war are killing and destruction, but the purpose of war is not these, but to achieve one's own interests.

Rhodes' super memory allows him to clearly remember every soldier whose name he has heard, and the appearance of every soldier he has seen. He also believes that he loves soldiers like sons and uses them like clay. The most basic purpose in the heart of every soldier who follows him to fight is to enable his relatives and tribesmen behind him to live a better life.

"...I'm sorry, Beru."

Although they were puzzled and uncomfortable, under Rhodes's forced order, the army of Gushan Castle still gave some of the food to the hell demons, and then the two teams merged into one and returned to Gushan Castle together.

During this process, the elite little devil was named Carl by Rhodes. It has been following Rhodes around and behaved extremely badly.

In this way, even if the demon army wants to rebel, they will not be able to choose a leader in a short time. By the time they evolve an elite demon again, Gushan Castle will have already arrived.

However, during the army's return journey, more than a dozen of the Hell Demon Legion escaped, and most of them were killed by the Griffin Knights and Vaegian Cavalry. For the few who really escaped, Rhodes would praise them: "Good luck. "

After returning to the Lonely Mountain Castle, this demon army was led by Carl to the Hell Territory and became a subordinate of the Holy Corpse Mummy Vohes, which indeed accelerated the mining of magic crystal ore:

Hell Teleportation, as a race that has been trapped in the dark side of this world, the hell demons want to escape from here all the time and spread their anger to the entire main material world. Therefore, the hell demons often have extremely strong spatial talents. They must be the first magical race to master spatial-related abilities among all magical races.

When actively used, it can increase the success rate of hell creatures coming to the main material world. At the same time, it can also directly deploy its own troops to a certain place on the enemy battlefield. 】

It was beyond Rhodes's expectation that the elite growth demon Carl had accumulated enough loyalty to Rhodes to be recognized by the system before arriving at the Lonely Mountain Castle.

Rhodes accepted its application, but for this kind of alien loyalist, this man's heart has always been full of vigilance, just like the goblin Abby who was almost forgotten in the castle. Rhodes allowed it to marry and have children and live happily, but never gave it any opportunity to touch power or do things, even though this little goblin actually has outstanding talents.
