Mount & Blade: Wind of War

The wilderness was originally a chaotic and barren land.

Now, due to the lack of food, the relatively weaker races have become food in the eyes of those strong races. The weak are devoured by the strong. This is the tradition of the orcs.

The War Lizards, Bloodfang Tribe, Ursine Tribe, Centaur Tribe, and Edelweiss Tribe split from the coalition state, and the Ursine Tribe, which was severely damaged in the previous battle, formed an alliance with the Centaur Tribe, and the War Lizards, Bloodfang Tribe, and Edelweiss Tribe fought on their own.

Everyone knew that it was extremely dangerous to split under such circumstances at this moment, but no one could convince the Ursine Tribe or the Centaur Tribe to starve to death, or convince the Sheepman Edelweiss Tribe to be willing to become food.

In order to prepare for this war, Grievous prepared some supplies and weapons through his own channels, but more than half of the supplies were gathered from the five major forces. Now that they were burned like this, the five tribes would have problems even surviving.

At this time, Rhodes had already reunited with the main force with Cress and the Dark Swordsman Force, and then they returned to the Lonely Mountain Castle after arranging enough scouts for a short rest.

The foreign coalition army of the five tribes could completely force the army of Lonely Mountain Castle back into the castle and wantonly destroy the farms and production buildings outside the city. However, in the current situation, the foreign army that came to the foot of Lonely Mountain Castle was just a gift. Counting all the auxiliary soldiers, Lonely Mountain Castle also had an army of nearly a thousand people.

"Leite!"

On the day when the army entered the city, in the welcoming team, General Resarit's wife Jera ran out and threw herself into her husband's arms.

As the wife of an officer, she could roughly distinguish the degree of danger of a battle. The foreign coalition army pressed in, and the degree of danger of this battle was obviously far greater than other foreign wars.

Fortunately, everything is over now, and her husband has returned safely.

"Mrs. Gronia, I'm sorry to worry you. Resarit is one of the best officers under my command. Thank you for handing over such an outstanding husband to me."

As he rode past, Rhodes leaned over and said.

Although it somewhat destroyed the atmosphere, it was also somewhat rude to leave without saying a word in this situation.

"My Lord, thank you for bringing my husband back to me." Lady Jera Gronia lifted her skirt and saluted, saying respectfully.

Joining the war is of course risky, but becoming an officer in this era is definitely not the most risky profession. On the contrary, being a farmer or a small businessman not only has to endure poverty and low status, but also faces the threat of death from time to time.

Moreover, Jera also knew very well that her husband's learning and ideals were in the army, so she also thought clearly and would not have any dissatisfaction with the lord in front of her because of her husband's distress.

While Rhodes was talking to Lady Jera, Janice was holding flowers in her hands and holding up her elegant skirt and running towards the army.

Today, Ms. Janice had obviously dressed herself up carefully, and she was so bright and beautiful that she was beyond description. Raymond looked at this beautiful lady running towards him, and his face showed joy. He just took two steps forward and then passed by Janice.

Raymond felt his neck stiff and slowly turned his head, only to see Ms. Janice giving flowers to Fatis.

Although there were many young girls in the crowd around him who gave him flowers, Raymond couldn't control himself. He kept looking at Ms. Janice who was chatting and laughing with Fatis.

"Brother, do you like Sister Janice?"

Cress also received a lot of gifts and bouquets beside Raymond, and the little girl asked softly.

"Sister Janice, how many years older than you are! She is just a widow whose husband and children have died. Your brother wants a woman now. What kind of girl from a good family is not there? Shut up. If you dare to talk nonsense in front of grandpa, I will beat you like when I was a child."

"Tsk, with your personality, it's strange that girls will like you. Even if there are girls, they must be just greedy for your wealth and status, not you as a person!"

"Whatever, wealth and status are also part of me anyway. I don't care which part they like. As long as I follow the master, I will become a new noble one day. By then, I will have a manor of mistresses, all of whom are younger and more beautiful than Janice!"

During the period of returning to the town for a temporary rest, the civil servant Moken came to report:

"Sir, Elder Nicol has sent a letter, successfully persuading the Qingyu Elf Tribe to surrender. Lady Isriel expressed her submission to you and said that the Qingyu Tribe's gifts will be delivered in the near future."

"How was this letter delivered, and who sent it?" Rhodes asked after taking the letter handed over by Moken and taking a quick look at it.

"About a day ago. The elves are a long-lived race, and their sense of time is slow. It is normal for them to be a little delayed."

"Yeah."

Rhode nodded and said nothing more. This was a good thing after all.

In fact, what Rhode didn't know was that after finding out the purpose of Elder Nicolte's visit, Lady Isriel of the Qingyu tribe prepared two letters and asked several elf messengers to rush to the Lonely Mountain Castle. At the same time, the golden eagles they raised were always monitoring the direction of the war. After the elf messengers were sure that humans had gained an overwhelming advantage, they would choose which letter to deliver.

And both letters have a certain amount of room for tone, which can be said to be calculated in all aspects.

The elves can be passed down in this world for tens of millions of years. They may be naive when they are young, but with the gradual accumulation of experience and knowledge, even if they only put a small part of their energy into political strategies, they can reach a very high level.

Take the letter in Rhode's hand as an example. Although it says that the Qingyu tribe surrenders to the Lonely Mountain Castle and will offer horses and elf beauties, the time agreed by Lady Isriel is definitely enough for the war between the human race and the wild alien coalition to be completely determined.

At that time, the importance of the gifts will be analyzed according to the specific situation. This is the so-called invincible position.

The reason why Rhode doesn't care much about the letter in his hand is because he also knows this characteristic of the elves:

The population of the tribe is too sparse, so although it is not lacking in courage, this race will not easily get involved in war unless it is necessary.

The devouring effect of high-intensity war on life is too terrible. The more immortal the elves are, the more afraid they are. On the contrary, the drow elves in the underground world who have solved the problem of population reproduction are never afraid of this.
