Mount & Blade: Wind of War

In the wilderness, the population, economy, politics, diplomacy, and culture of Lonely Mountain Castle were booming and developing.

It was also a period when Rhode and Moken were so busy that their hair was falling out.

Although many middle and lower-level officials had been intentionally trained before, and even cultural education was implemented in the army to encourage disabled soldiers to transfer to civilian jobs, it was still far from enough. In other words, the population of Lonely Mountain Castle expanded too fast and too amazingly.

Rhode's favorite knight was Cress, especially Cress who was getting younger and younger, and the little girl was getting more and more tender and lovely.

Rhode's favorite knight was Fatis, and there was no personal factor in it. As the Lord of Lonely Mountain, he often had to exclude personal factors. Even for Fatis, Rhode would be on guard, and doing things this way was good for him and himself.

However, during this period, Rhode was almost about to sleep with Moken.

There was no way. With the reconstruction and great development of Lonely Mountain Castle, those mountains of books and seas of literature were almost piling up the two of them, and this was already a part of what the people below had dealt with.

For many things, the people below dared not make a decision. Either Rhode or Moken decided it, such as the current document.

"According to the report of our spies in the north, there seems to be some abnormal troop movements in the north. The target seems to be our Lonely Mountain Castle."

In the office, Moken read the document to Rhode, and he laughed as he read it.

"Our Lonely Mountain Castle was built too recently, and the level of these intelligence personnel is still not good enough. Do the northern orcs dare to attack our Lonely Mountain? Are they crazy? Do they think that two empires are not enough for them to fight?"

Rhode's reaction was the same as Moken's. This information seemed important, but from the overall situation, the possibility of it happening was too low.

Although the northern orc forces maintained a certain degree of suppression on the two human countries of Raymond and Saint Laurent, after many years of war, this short-term relative advantage was almost meaningless. Unless the leaders of the northern orc forces were crazy, they would choose to attack the strongest human empire, Styak, during this period of time.

However, after laughing, Rhode thought about it and finally said: "Increase the investment in intelligence personnel and expand the new army at the same time. Anyway, we have people and money now, it's nothing more than a slight delay in development. It's always right to be careful."

"This is not just a short-term delay in development. You have pushed the social status and salary of soldiers so high. If there is a war, it's fine. If there is no war for a long time, an overly large army is meaningless and will continue to suck blood in finances. At the same time, it will also affect our diplomacy to a certain extent."

"Well, you have a point. But do as I say."

"Yes, Duke." Once Rhode made up his mind, Moken would not say any more nonsense. The two continued to read the next document report. However, Moken still believed that he was right. Too many, meaningless high-level troops would seriously suppress the comprehensive strength development of Lonely Mountain Castle in the long run.

However, what neither Rhode nor Moken knew was.

At this moment, in the capital Fastel thousands of miles away, a female guard was galloping with two horses day and night.

In her arms, there was a blood-stained scroll:

"His Majesty is dead, the court wizard rebelled, the Eye of Judgment rebelled, the prince rebelled, the Minister of Finance Marquis Angel rebelled, and the provinces split... Please Duke Rod Hart save Her Royal Highness. In such a chaotic situation, Her Royal Highness has no one to rely on except you."

Until he finished a whole day's work and went back to rest at night, Rhodes' mind still flashed the intelligence, and then he shook his head and chuckled:

"Unless the empire collapses completely, the northern orc forces can only choose to maintain trade with Styak. Of course, if the empire collapses, Lonely Mountain Castle will become the gateway, and the northern orcs will not allow the strongest human empire to reorganize again."

Thinking of this, Rhodes was a little flustered, but when he thought that Lonely Mountain Castle also left some spies in the capital, he stopped scaring himself.

Because of wild thoughts, leading to a decline in one's own state and reduced ability to do things, this kind of thing is really unnecessary.

With the gathering of faith, the legendary holy relic Silver Holy Grail opened the fourth hidden enchantment, but there are two choices:

1. Elite Holy Grail Knights, fifth-level legendary soldiers. The upgrade tree from one to five levels is very perfect. As long as you choose this one to train, it will definitely be the top-notch army in the world, and it may not be an exaggeration to say that it is the strongest legion.

2. Holy Front, Holy Grail Blessing. The former strengthens the light attribute soldiers within the range of the power of order, and the highest upper limit is the fourth level to the fifth level. The latter is the fifth-level Holy Grail Blessing, which can bless any soldiers, but does not provide the first to fourth level upgrade tree. In other words, the Lonely Mountain Castle must train a fourth-level army by itself before it can bless the fifth-level Holy Grail. At the same time, it is not certain that the blessing can be successful. For example, the dark cavalry that the Lonely Mountain Castle has been secretly training has a high probability of not being able to advance to the fifth-level cavalry through the fifth-level Holy Grail Blessing, and the attributes conflict.

Although the fourth hidden enchantment of the legendary holy relic Silver Holy Grail has been opened, Rhodes has been unable to make up his mind to make a choice.

The first reward option was the most stable. As long as you invested time and money, you would definitely get the Legendary Knights. However, it would take at least one or two years of training. This was when Rhodes led the team himself. After all, it was a Legendary Legion, so it was already very fast.

The second option can immediately form combat power, because the main combat force of Lonely Mountain Castle is the Rhodok Heavy Armored Holy Crossbowmen of the Light Department. Nearly half of the entire army is this type of soldier. With the third-level weapon equipment, the blessing of holy objects, and the excellent attributes of the Rhodok Heavy Armored Holy Crossbowmen themselves, their combat effectiveness can be fully expected.

"But in this way, there will be a gap in the promotion of the troops. The fourth-level troops are neither high nor low. Anyway, so far, it seems that no force's main combat troops are fourth-level troops. I don't know how many years it will take for Lonely Mountain Castle to develop a complete training system."

In addition to these, Rhode's mind also has Caitlin's application for the research of the enlightenment array, and the possibility of developing his own troops after Fatis is promoted to a legend.

With a lot of information changing chaotically in his mind, Rhode fell into a deep sleep after washing.

However, at this time, he didn't know what kind of turbulent and chaotic world he would face when he woke up again. The troubled times have arrived.
