Mount & Blade: Wind of War

What they saw and heard after traveling through the two cities may not seem like much to Kress and Osana, but for Fatis, it was a huge inner impact.

Because Fatis has a very simple political ideal: he hopes to make the vast majority of people in the world happy, and this is also the motivation for him to wield his sword for it.

Therefore, Fatis, who had been unable to sleep all night, got up and came to Rhodes' door after his wife gradually fell asleep, and walked around thinking.

After a while, he finally decided to knock on the door.

However, before the back of his hand could fall, the door opened inward with a creak.

"Be gentle, Kress is asleep."

When Fatis heard these words that came to his ears with the guidance of fighting spirit, he froze and did not dare to step in.

However, in the room, Rhodes just tucked Kress under the quilt. The weather was getting colder and colder. The little girl insisted on coming over to warm the bed, and fell asleep one step ahead of him. Then her sleep state was not good, and she still kept sleeping. It's kicking the quilt.

After doing all this, Rhodes put on a piece of clothing and walked out.

Rhodes' current basic physical fitness is already five times that of ordinary people. Coupled with the Holy Light Qi and Dou Qi flowing into the micro-protection body, he is already in a state of being almost invulnerable to cold and heat.

"What's wrong, can't sleep?"

"Sir, is there really no perfect political system?" Kress is the maid of the Duke and has been his servant for a long time. Therefore, this is not a problem at all for Fatis. All he thinks about now is own doubts.

"Fatis, the sky will collapse in two years and the world will be destroyed. Do you have any solution?"

"Uh...no."

"In the same way, no political system can operate perfectly without restrictions. Slavery is better than primitive society, and feudal centralization is better than slavery. This is enough. We try our best to let ourselves and all of us For those who care, it is enough to let those who trust us and follow us live a better life than before. As for more things, let our descendants solve them. If they cannot be solved, then the dynasty will change. Is there any way in this world? Will there be an eternal dynasty?”

Rhodes put on his coat and walked in the night-filled tavern. Fatis followed the Duke and looked at the Lord he was loyal to. For a moment, he felt extremely at ease.

Yes, it is enough for one generation to do its job well. Doing your best and having a clear conscience is enough.

"grown ups?"

"Um?"

"Why are you obviously younger than me, but you seem to be able to see through everything? You can answer my questions with just one sentence."

"...Maybe it's because I have a very, very old soul. Especially, he comes from a world of information explosion."

Fatis heard the first words clearly, but Rhodes spoke in a lower and lower voice. Even Fatis couldn't hear them clearly.

This trip ended with Rhodes appearing in the Lord's Mansion of the City of Redemption and instructing the Lord Blevins not to torture the slaves below too much. Although Blevins, the Lord of the City of Redemption, was full of grievances:

"As a superior, you should not give too much to the people below you at once, but should gradually improve their living standards. This is the art of governing for long-term peace and stability, because this is a common psychological trait of human beings. As life gets better day by day, life will be better." There is hope only when there is hope, rather than suddenly rising to a certain height and then suddenly lowering. Even if the lowered level is higher than the initial level, it will still feel like the sky has fallen to the person involved. "

Rhodes knew the core of Blevins's rule policy, so he patted him on the shoulder and said: "Do your best, and I hope that one day, I can give you the blood of the Holy Spirit in Lonely Mountain Castle."

"...Thank you, sir. Blevins will definitely live up to your expectations."

Although the blood of the Holy Spirit can restore youth, it is just a vague rumor to Blevins, but being able to use the Silver Holy Grail and drink with Lord Rodhart is the highest honor of Lonely Mountain Castle.

Therefore, even though he was suppressed a few words before, at this moment, Blevins is still full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm.

After leaving the City of Salvation, Rhodes, Kress, Fatis, and Osana began to return to Lonely Mountain Castle.

Because as time goes by, the annual Sun Festival is coming soon. Rhodes will divide the whole year into two festivals, the sun festival and the moon worship festival. During these two days, tenant farmers and even slaves will receive gifts from the lord. The feast given allows one to have a full day's rest. On such days, as long as circumstances permit, Rhodes, as the Lord of the Lonely Mountain, must attend as much as possible.

Even Fatis, Kress, and Osana are all like this.

Because of the speed of the griffin and the fact that they did not encounter any trouble along the way, the four of them quickly returned to Lonely Mountain Castle with the elite knights and griffin knights behind them.

At this time, Gushan Castle had begun to be decorated. Luxurious red silks and carpets covered the inside and outside of the castle. When Rhodes returned to the city, Mo Ken was the first to find the news, like a nagging old man. The wife kept chattering:

"Fortunately, you came back in time, otherwise I really don't know how to explain to them that the Duke is not in the castle on such an important day. On such an important day..."

"Okay, okay, I'm back in time. I'm not worried about the citizens and freemen in the city, but have you said hello to the slaves?"

"Hmph, I've already warned Qiao Lin. This time I'm going to make him bleed. If he doesn't even let people have a good Sun Festival, then he can forget about having a good life."

Although Rhodes was not in the Lonely Mountain Castle during this period, everything inside and outside the town was managed in an orderly manner by Moken.

After all, he was a ruling civil servant who could stand shoulder to shoulder with famous heroes such as Yamila, Resarit, and James by relying on his white body. He was meticulous and skillful, which were basic qualities.

While walking quickly, Rhodes suddenly stopped and looked at Moken who was busy around him. Because the average life expectancy of wilderness slaves was very short, Moken seemed to have aged a lot in just five years.

"Moken, it's my luck to have you accompany me all the way."

Moken was stunned when he suddenly heard Rhodes' words. For a moment, tears seemed to flash in his eyes, but the next moment he bowed and said:

"No, Lord Duke, in fact, being able to serve you is the honor of Moken's life. For all those who can live a stable and happy life in this territory, you are the sun that drives away the darkness, and no one can ever replace you."

At night, the Sun Festival Feast of Lonely Mountain Castle.

The aroma of food filled the inside and outside of the Castle Lord's Mansion. Today is a festival of celebration. Except for a few people with special duties, all work is not allowed.

On the long table in front of Rhodes, there was a roasted whole elk, layers of goat cheese in the shape of a washbasin, cod and flounder, some fresh and some smoked, and large chunks of raw beef, with fat and lean snowflakes that were fresh and tempting.

Roasted pork chops, rubbed with black pepper and herbs, various types of bread and snacks, in addition to round fat roast chicken, pork, lamb, sausage, bacon, boiled tomatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, French fries, pudding, snow pear, carrot thick meat field, ketchup, mint hard candy, and so on and so forth.

After several years of operation, the current Lonely Mountain Castle is now much more luxurious than before.

At the banquet, Rhodes also saw Abby and his two ogre sons dressed in strange shapes. Abby was in the shape of a clown, making all kinds of funny and funny movements to make people laugh, and his two ogre sons should be similar to the image of Santa Claus, fat and honest and smiling.

In the past few years, the goblin Abby has married and had children in the Lonely Mountain Castle. He and his wives usually help in the kitchen and sometimes do some chores. Because of Rhodes's blessing and his two sons, no one dares to bully him.

From the perspective of the goblin, Abby has lived an extremely happy life, and as long as the master is still there, he can continue to be happy.

"But in fact, my destiny has another trajectory: to subdue Abby, and with my control over him, to form an ogre army. If I do this, my journey may be much easier, and then step by step to the day when my genes collapse. If I really were a person from this world, I wouldn't even notice that someone was secretly attacking me, and I would just think that this was my destiny."

"Abby has always been loyal to me, but after my death, he has already possessed a considerable level and intelligence, and has a loyal ogre army in his hands... Maybe the civilization process of this world will be rewritten."

He smiled and shook his head, then Rhodes, dressed in a purple robe, stood up and said loudly: "Gentlemen, drink this cup together!"

The people around him stood up and raised their glasses to Rod Hart.

"Praise the sun, my monarch. Praise you, may you always be as glorious as before."
