Mount & Blade: Wind of War

"Janice, your opinion is very valuable. In fact, I have considered it, but from the perspective of the overall war situation, I think it is not the right time to do so now."

"Of course, you can also take people to sort out the corpses and spoils now. Well, ask Guido to cooperate with you. It may be useful soon."

After a moment of silence, Rhodes replied.

Then, he noticed that Janice's eyes were always looking at the books he had spread out on the table.

"Incomplete Rhodok Crossbow Training Manual" has hand-painted illustrations, and Janice, who came from a small merchant family before being arrested, can read.

For this respectable minister in front of him, although Rhodes will not invest extraordinary resources in her (not enough for Fatis, Raymond, Kress and himself), he still attaches great importance to her.

"If you are interested, then I will lend you this book first."

"This, is it really okay?"

Seeing Lord Rodhart close the book and hand it to her, Janice asked with some surprise. Books are very precious in this era.

"Keep it well, and don't damage it. I'll lend it to you for three days, and return it to me after three days." Anyway, the two hundred Rhodok crossbowmen have basically completed their job transfers, and they don't need this book for the time being. Rhode doesn't mind using it to improve the loyalty of his subordinates.

"Thank you, sir, I will definitely keep it well." After a very formal thank you, Janice turned and left with the book in her hands.

After leaving the front line of the city wall, Janice returned to her residence and immediately asked someone to call one of her subordinates: Ulmit Karen.

"Miss, you called me." Not long after, a tall middle-aged white-haired woman came to Janice's room.

Before being arrested, Ulmit Karen was the maid who took care of Janice. In the days of the Mountain Fortress over the years, the two of them supported each other step by step to today.

"Mother Ulmit, come and take a look, come and see if this is the craft of weaving silk?" Janice opened the book, turned to the page where she had just seen the hand-drawn picture, and handed it to the white-haired woman.

"The shape of this wooden machine looks very similar. Miss, can you read the words on it for me? You know, I can't read."

"Okay... listen carefully."

Unlike the calmness she had at Rhodes' place, Janice's cheeks were slightly red at this moment, and she was obviously very excited.

After listening to Janice's recitation, Urmit Karen finally nodded with certainty and said, "I was not sure just now, but now I am sure that this is a very sophisticated silk spinning machine. But Miss, are you going to do the silk business here again? Aren't you already a high-ranking official in the city?"

"No matter how much money you make from doing business, it is not as good as being an official."

"Mother Urmit, I know, but if you want to gain more power... or even want revenge, you can't help Lord Rhodes gain more benefits without helping him. Lord Rhodes firmly holds the military power, Raymond , Knight Fatis can't take a penny. If you and I want revenge, we have to gain his greater trust. "

Holding the book in both hands, Janice's hands were shaking slightly, as if she was holding the whole world: "Father, mother, please watch your two dead souls. Daughter, I will definitely avenge you, I will definitely avenge you!"

Because there were only three days, Janice and Ulmit Karen stayed in the room almost all day, and called many people who might help. Even Rhodes' instructions, Janice completely told Guido to do it.

When he heard that it was the Lord's order, Guido, as the chief of the town's sheriff, did not dare to neglect it. He immediately dispatched security personnel to the sealed underground mine to dig up the bodies.

Although it was hard, it was actually a good job. Even if the Lonely Mountain Castle itself was engaged in weapon manufacturing and trading, there were so many heavy armored warriors below, and it was a reward to take a little iron leaf back.

Moreover, there are many people in the city who do not mind eating horse meat, wolf meat, and eagle meat. Before opening the underground mine, they were looking forward to it, but when they really dug it out, even those with a good appetite would give up after seeing everything inside.

In seven days, the corpses of many jackals, harpies, and centaurs were soaked beyond recognition.

After all, it is an underground mine. Even if it has been consciously blocked and reinforced, in fact, a large amount of water cannot be accumulated here for too long. Even if the blockage is not opened, most of the water inside has already flowed away, but the dead people cannot come back to life because of this.

"Lord Rhodes, you are simply a god-like person." The lame Guido said with emotion as he walked in first and looked at everything in front of him.

He was also a person who had been on the battlefield. Of course, he could see the basic qualities of an army from the remaining heavy armor and weapons, and the destroyed army in front of him was very powerful and terrible.

If they really rushed into the city, it would be an irresistible one-sided slaughter for civilians.

Metal armor and metal weapons cannot be unusable just because they have been soaked for seven days, and because there are corpses everywhere, the workload is still quite heavy.

As the chief sheriff, Cripple Guido does not have to work. He only needs to supervise and watch others work with laughter and scolding from time to time.

"Sir, sir, we seem to have found a big shot!"

At this time, a subordinate shouted not far away.

Guido also walked over with his sword, and saw a black-armored centaur general in a stone crevice. Although his eyes were closed at this moment, it can be seen from his majestic figure, the armor that was different from that of ordinary soldiers, and the weapon tightly held in his hand that this guy's identity is not ordinary.

"Well, dig it out well, the lord needs it, don't destroy it."

"Understood, sir."

Just as the subordinates were trying their best to dig out the huge corpse, the lame Guido gradually found something wrong.

Because the "corpse" did not swell up, and... suddenly opened his eyes.

Boom!

The green fighting spirit flames exploded and spread violently, and the security patrolmen around were directly washed away.

"Ahhh, what's going on!"

The incident happened suddenly, and Guido almost fainted, but he still gritted his teeth and pulled out his sword. His hand holding the sword was shaking, and although he had not yet deteriorated, Guido knew from the momentum that he could not resist the man in front of him, even if he was not yet lame.

The centaur general raised the axe in his hand violently, but before he could swing it down, a large amount of blood spurted out of his mouth and nose, and the strong fighting spirit and flames around him suddenly dissipated.

If the humans around him had not woken him up, the centaur general would probably have slowly died of exhaustion. The huge impact of the water flow and the nearly seven days of soaking caused great damage to his body.

Therefore, in the end, the centaur general could only look at Guido with hatred, and turned around and rushed to the dark depths of the secret passage.

In less than half an hour, the whole process of this incident was reported to Rhodes, but Rhodes did not mind it very much.

I just feel that there are masters of this level in the Centaur tribe.

"Being hit by a flood and then soaked for seven days without dying? Even if there is a part of luck, it is impossible without extraordinary strength."

"Extraordinary, transcending the ordinary power. In the future, powerful people like this will only become more and more common."
