Mount & Blade: Wind of War

As time goes by, the Mountain Fortress is gradually undergoing fundamental changes in the five fields of politics, military, economy, culture and education, and diplomacy.

Overall, this change is of course getting better and better.

In terms of politics, Rodhart established an administrative team with himself as the core, and at the same time selected a large number of outstanding talents from local human slaves to stabilize people's hearts and quickly strengthen overall control.

In terms of military, he ordered Fatis and Janis to cooperate with each other, issue decrees to recruit warriors, and build a new army. An army that belongs to the human camp and dares to fight and is good at fighting.

In terms of economy, the identity is replaced. The original human slaves turned over and became masters, while a large number of captured lizardmen and jackals became slaves. Now they are whipped every day and work hard under the deterrence of iron swords and spears.

At the same time, Rod implemented a policy of work-for-relief, and the official recruited a large number of personnel to clean up the collapsed buildings in the city, repair the castle fortifications, and rebuild various functional buildings.

Because there cannot be a large number of idle people who are well fed and well-drinked in the territory, otherwise all kinds of dirty things will happen.

On this point, Rhode was somewhat sceptical. He had visited the construction site to observe that although the official regulations only allowed ten hours of work, many workers still refused to leave after work and continued to work reluctantly.

Because they cherished the current stability and freedom, the current human rights, and did not want to go back to the past, and did not want to be killed by aliens for fun.

Although he gradually understood this mentality, Rhode still appeared and dispersed them, because these people were engaged in physical labor, and ten hours a day was already the limit. Now that he was the lord here, Rhode did not want to over-exploit his subjects.

In terms of culture and education, some simple and educational entertainment activities were promoted, storytelling sessions and singing competitions were held, integrating education with entertainment.

Although most of the current stories are "The Chronicles of Light" and "Knights Killing Witches" that praise merits, as time goes by, various stories full of fantastic ideas will gradually increase.

And when people hear more of these stories with humans as the protagonists, they will gradually form cultural identity and gradually develop self-thinking ability.

The most important point is that a rich cultural life is also an important aspect for the people to improve their sense of happiness. When the people feel happy, they will naturally protect Rhode's rule.

In terms of diplomacy, through the red-winged harpy noble girl Gapar, Rhode gradually learned about the several major forces in the wilderness:

In the northwest, there is the Iron Hoof Tribe, which is mainly composed of tauren and mainly engaged in farming and grazing. As mentioned earlier, the main source of food for the Mountain Fortress was this tribe.

In the southwest, there is the Hunting Fork Tribe, which is mainly composed of fishermen, mainly engaged in the fishery and salt industry and occupies the largest lake in the wilderness.

In the southeast, there is the Wild Bandits' Nest, which is mainly composed of human refugees and mainly engaged in business and looting. This is a disgusting organization composed of criminals from various countries that sells a large number of human slaves to other forces in the wilderness.

In addition to these three, there are many small and medium-sized vassal forces around the Mountain Fortress, but with the death of the harpy witch Magna, this vassal relationship has of course ended temporarily.

Of the four major forces in the wilderness, only the Mountain Fortress is in the central position, and the others are relatively remote. This is of course nothing before the advent of the new era, but with the revival of the magic tide, the violent magic power in the wilderness has gradually calmed down. The Mountain Fortress is located on the most suitable trade route for the two orc kingdoms and the Styak human empire. If you bypass this place, you have to bypass a large mountain area.

The straight line between two points is the shortest, which is a truth that even children know.

"Don't pay attention to those local forces for the time being. I'd better consider the counterattack of the Centaur Alliance and the remnants of the Harpy. I don't know how the formation of the new army of Fatis is going, and whether these people in the wilderness are suitable for training."

At night, under the light.

Rodhart stood in front of the wooden table, stroking his chin and looking at the terrain sketch he drew in front of him.

From this strategic perspective, the Mountain Fortress is really in a very dangerous four-war zone, but it has its own Mount and Blade system. The more dangerous the four-war zone is, the faster it can grow.

Therefore, it can only be said that there are pros and cons.

Located near the center of the wilderness, it will develop in the future. Just the tax on passing merchants can make a fortune.

Because of Rhode's constant attention and Fatis's knowledge of the seriousness of the matter, the new army was formed very quickly. Due to the extremely high treatment and social status, the people in the territory signed up very enthusiastically.

After all, those warriors wearing bright armor and holding sharp weapons such as spears and swords often passed by them. When they looked at each other in rags, many free people would naturally yearn for them.

However, under the above requirements, Fatis's recruitment standards were very high: those who were too old or too young were not accepted, those who were too thin and short were not accepted, those who were brave and aggressive and made trouble were not accepted, and those who could not survive the rather strict physical test were certainly not accepted.

But even with such selection, with the enthusiastic registration of the people in the territory, Fatis quickly recruited more than 540 auxiliary soldiers and 126 elite soldiers for Rhode, almost one in ten. In this process, Janice also recruited 40 female soldiers.

In the cold weapon era, the gap between male and female combat power was too big, so Fatis did not understand Rhode's purpose, but since the lord supported it and the number was small, Fatis acquiesced to Janice's recruitment.

Professional advancement route for wilderness mountain people: human miner, human elite miner, human thug, alien spy.

Professional advancement route for wilderness demon people:

Dark awakener, dark sneak attacker, dark hunting crossbow; dark ghost, dark fang sniper.

Dark awakener, dark duelist, dark warrior; dark swordsman, dark follower, dark destroyer.

"These guys?"

Because Rhode killed the witch, liberated the slaves, and handled the political work in the later period very well, the initial loyalty and morale of the new army recruited by Fatis were very high.

Rhode had just arrived at the square and just appeared. He had not even had time to say a few words of encouragement, but he had already received a large number of applications for joining the team from the system.

The system has a judgment on the application for joining the team. If the mental will cannot reach a certain strength, the system cannot sense it and cannot accept it.

Rhode was not surprised by this. What surprised him was the career advancement path of these recruits.

Because of the isolation of civilization, most of them had no potential to be trained and tapped.
