Mount & Blade: Wind of War

Chapter 71: Occupy the fortress and establish a regime

Rhodes certainly heard Raymond's words in his ear, but he didn't care. If it was someone else, Rhodes would be more suspicious.

But that person was Fatis, and Rhodes believed that this guy was just being soft-hearted.

As Rhodes, Raymond, and Kress led the crowd closer, people in the square began to whisper.

"It's him?"

"That's right, it's this man, he...he killed the witch!"

"I saw him riding on the witch and using that sword to chop off the witch's head!"

Wherever they passed, the crowd dispersed like splitting waves.

Because of the heavily armed soldiers behind Rhodes, and also because this man naturally carried a formidable power.

Having money in a person's pocket can naturally cure his inferiority complex and gradually give people a feeling of wealth.

A person with a tough mind and a strong body will naturally form a powerful force. What's more, after Rhodes emerged from the brutal bloody battle, the gap in spiritual power between the human slaves around him was naturally even greater.

Seeing Rhodes coming, Fatis no longer wanted to beat up the human slave leader Qiao Lin. He hurriedly came to Rhodes and knelt down on one knee in front of everyone.

Fatis was once from a noble family, and he knew deeply about the horror of power struggles. It was not that he had no ambitions, and that he could avoid disasters if he behaved correctly.

"Fatis, Lord of the redwood and mountain fortresses, witch crusader, Lord Rodhart, may the light of your mercy shine upon all peoples."

Although he is upright, he is not immune to flattery. It all depends on whether Fatis is willing to flatter him.

At least at this moment, he was making Rhodes extremely excited when he photographed him. Even the somewhat ugly expression on Raymond's face next to Rhodes gradually softened.

Clang.

Rhodes took out the ancient cross sword from his waist and placed it on the shoulder and neck of Fatis in front of him amid the exclamations of the human slaves around him.

"Fatis, here I ask you in the name of God, are you willing to be loyal to me and loyal to the Hart family from generation to generation?"

"...I am willing. This is my honor. I swear by my integrity that I will be loyal to Lord Rodhart and the Hart family. I will fulfill all my obligations as a knight and never cheat."

"Rise up, my loyal Knight of Fatis. It is also an honor for me to have your allegiance."

"Lord, please don't say that."

What made Rhodes excited was, of course, not just Fatis's flattery, but the fact that he got a prompt from the system:

[The redemption of the soul 5/5, completed:

Your choices and actions inspired Fatis's confused mind. As a knight longing for soul salvation, he finally found his own way of salvation: fighting for the peace and happiness of mankind. Fatis' favorability level increases to 100/100.

Currently, Fatis’ favorability: 100/100

Mission rewards: 1. Thunder's Military Hammer, 2. Shadow Dagger, 3. White Ivory Cane, please choose one of them. 】

Compared with Fatis's kneeling and allegiance, the rewards of ultra-difficult serial missions are relatively minor. Especially Fatis, who has been transferred to the holy knight, has no better potential than the original wandering knight. How much to pay.

In the square of the mountain fortress, Fatis was seen kneeling to Rhodes and swearing allegiance. After looking at each other, the human slaves also followed suit and knelt down and swore allegiance.

Because they originally planned to elect Fatis as the new king. Now that Mr. Fatis has chosen to be loyal to the new king, they will follow.

Although these human slaves have little information, they are not too stupid, and some of them are smart enough to react quickly.

Without the protection of powerful power, slaves like themselves may not be able to protect the mountain fortress. Many people watched helplessly as some harpies escaped with the lizardmen and jackals.

When they realize that there is only a large group of human slaves in the mountain fortress, they will inevitably sweep back and bring about terrible slaughter and suppression.

What the human slaves around him can think of, Rhodes can also think of, and even think of in a deeper level:

It's not just the harpies with the lizardmen and jackals. As the original balance of forces is broken, a new force appears in the wilderness. Other forces in the wilderness will almost certainly have to weigh in. Take a look at the background of this emerging force and see if it is qualified to be on an equal footing with itself.

Others couldn't figure it out for a while, but Rhodes knew it clearly in his heart. He had borrowed too much momentum to lay down the mountain fortress. He used extreme micro-management to make a small gain. Although he won the bet, if he didn't digest and transform it quickly, Basic plate, then it won’t take long for you to vomit out as much as you eat, and even your life will have to be surrendered.

"Jolin, I appoint you as the Sheriff of the Mountain Fortress town. Moken, I appoint you and your uncle Radhi as the economic director of the Mountain Fortress, in charge of economic construction... Janice, in view of your loyalty and bravery, I allow you to establish an army of female swordsmen in the mountain fortress to assist in maintaining the security of the town."

In front of everyone, Rhodes made continuous arrangements based on the information he obtained from Raymond, which caused continuous cheers from the people around the square.

These officials are incompetent and unimportant. The most important thing now is to stabilize everyone's hearts with a familiar structure.

If they are incompetent, they can be replaced, withdrawn, or killed later. If they can do a good job, let them keep doing it. Rhode is short of everything now, especially all kinds of talents.

Giving these local snakes relatively satisfactory positions will also help him quickly and effectively control the entire Mountain Fortress.

As for the closest people around him, Fatis, Raymond, Kress, Mad, Suxiu, Valen, and Guido are not in a hurry to reward them.

At this moment, there are too many unowned properties in the Mountain Fortress, and there is no rush. With their loyalty, as long as Rhode hints clearly, they are not in a hurry.

"Establish a monetary system and confiscate a large amount of property. Remember, let people feel that their lives are getting better and better, but don't give them too many benefits at the beginning. In an environment that is too relaxed, people's hearts will always be greedy. If the benefits are too good at the beginning, the foundation of the Mountain Castle will be corrupted."

"All the remaining gnolls and lizardmen in the city will be captured as slaves. They will be officially owned first, but they can be sold to individuals. As free citizens in the city, the lives and property of the swamp people and ancient orcs will be guaranteed, and they will be given the same rights as other free citizens. However, those who can't think straight should be imprisoned or killed, so that these alien races can clearly realize that the humans in the Mountain Castle are no longer lowly slaves from today!"
