Mount & Blade: Wind of War

At night, after enjoying delicious mushroom soup and reindeer meat together, they rested separately.

Military chess deduction and swordsmanship practice did not allow Fatis to successfully activate the fifth hero characteristic, but Rhodes knew very well that Fatis was a man of self-control and hard work. The reason why he had not been able to activate it was just because he lacked the right opportunity, so he was not in a hurry, based on his full trust in Fatis.

"Given Fatis's temperament and career development direction, his fifth hidden characteristic may be the type of benevolence, the power of command, the power of command, and the power of leadership. I should take him to travel more and see the suffering of the lower classes, which should be helpful."

Before falling asleep, Rhode thought so while Fatis hugged his stunning wife and had similar thoughts in his mind:

"The Duke has been fighting everywhere and ruling and training troops over the years. I am afraid he doesn't know much about the suffering of the civilians. From ancient times to today, once the rulers can no longer feel the suffering of the civilians, they often tend to tyranny. For the current Lonely Mountain Castle, continued development is secondary. I should take the Duke to walk around and take a look. Even if I hear more scolding and complaints, it is a good thing."

Because they each had such thoughts in their hearts, Rhode and Fatis were not in a hurry.

A group of four people, followed by some elite knights and griffin knights, walked and stopped. Not only Lonely Mountain Castle, but also the City of Redemption and White Stone Castle were within the scope of the planned tour of the territory. Redwood Town was not going to go because it was a bit too far.

Moreover, Redwood Town has a small population, and both production and commerce are relatively developed. The degree of prosperity of the people is even better than that of Lonely Mountain Castle.

Or riding griffins or riding horses, sometimes encountering small groups of thieves and hell demons, the four people will even directly strangle them.

Of course, if they encounter a large group, they will not take action. Although there are some elite knights and griffin knights following behind, the number is limited after all.

In this world where the magic tide is revived, the individual combat capabilities of "famous generals and heroes" are very strong, and they also have various combat skills.

A high-level famous general hero can deal with low-level soldiers who are several times more than himself, but they cannot deal with high-level soldiers who are several times more than themselves.

If you want to become a master in "Mount and Blade: War Wind", you must perfectly combine the characteristics of famous heroes with the characteristics of soldiers, so that you can destroy powerful enemies, constantly develop yourself, and become extremely powerful.

Another point is that it is very cost-effective to kill a large number of low-level soldiers with a small number of high-level soldiers. It is normal to kill a large number of enemies, and it is extremely uneconomical to let the enemy kill one of you accidentally.

Therefore, when they encountered a large number of thieves and hell demons, Rhodes and Fatis's choice was just to send someone back to notify the garrison general of Lonely Mountain Castle to send troops to chase and suppress them. Anyway, they could not catch up with the four people.

This day, after discovering a relatively large number of hell demons, Rhodes ordered a griffin knight to return to Lonely Mountain Castle immediately, dispatch troops, and send another griffin knight to track and monitor. Then, he took back the telescope and got back on the horse with Fatis.

At this time, Rhode glanced and noticed Fatis's sword, which was still the very simple ancient cross sword. It was also Rhode's sword, so Rhode stepped forward to take it off, played with it, and drew out half of it to look at the sword body that was like autumn water.

"Fatis, why are you still using this sword? You are the first knight of my Lonely Mountain Castle. Elder Nicolte has never looked for you? You are simply hitting the face of the blood-bearded dwarf with such a sword."

In the past, this sword of strength was of course a small top-grade, but with the development of Lonely Mountain Castle to the present, this sword is really not worthy of Fatis's current status.

"Don't keep using it just because I gave it to you. Go back and change it for a sword of destruction. It is much more powerful than this one." Rhode said as he put the ancient cross sword back.

"That's not the case, Lord Rhodes... I've been carrying it all the time. Of course, a big reason is because of the glory of the past. You personally gave me your sword in the Garden of Heroes, but after using it for a long time, I gradually got used to it. The sword of destruction is more powerful, but it is not as easy for me to use as this sword."

"In the future, when Elder Nicolte's skills improve a little, I will allow him to forge this sword. Now his success rate is still too low, and it is easy to break the sword."

"You are too nostalgic, for people and things. I don't know if this is your advantage or disadvantage." Rhodes rode on the horse, shook his head and smiled.

However, it really makes people feel at ease to have such a person who follows you wholeheartedly.

Traveling around the territory, riding a griffin in sparsely populated areas, and when you reach a place where residents have settled, ride and listen to the voices of the majority of the people.

Listening to one side leads to darkness, listening to both sides leads to enlightenment. If the voices of the lower-class people are blocked, then the dynasty will not be far from collapse.

Whitestone Fortress.

This place was originally a settlement of ancient orcs. After being conquered by Lonely Mountain Castle, a large number of humans migrated here and lived together with the peaceful orcs. There are no mineral resources here, but the land is fertile. After the magic riots are gradually resolved, a large amount of land can be used for farming, which is very meaningful for Lonely Mountain Castle.

However, the purpose of operating this castle at the beginning was not for economic benefits, but for military benefits.

The White Stone Fortress is not far from the Lonely Mountain Castle. It is high in terrain and easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as a heavy force is defended, it can be the outpost of the Lonely Mountain Castle, and it can form a horn with the Lonely Mountain Castle, causing great trouble to the enemy.

Attacking the White Stone Fortress, the overall value of this stronghold is very low. If the White Stone Fortress is not attacked, the large number of defenders in this stronghold may interfere with logistics, and even form a front and back attack with the Lonely Mountain Castle. This is unbearable for any general with experience in commanding troops.

After arriving relatively close to the Lonely Mountain Castle, Rhodes, Fatis, Cress, and Osana disguised themselves as an adventurer team and came to the side of the stream. They happened to meet a beast-blood fox girl who came out to fetch water.

The beast-blood fox tribe is rich in beautiful women, but this is actually a widely circulated rumor.

Among the nobles of the Beast-Blood Fox Clan, those girls who almost have no beast emblem features are indeed very likely to be charming beauties, but most of the common people of the Beast-Blood Fox Clan still have fox hair on their faces. How can they be beautiful in the eyes of humans?

Most of the Beast-Blood Fox Clan who fled to Lonely Mountain Castle are low-level commoners, most of whom have an animal head, but there are also a very small number of them with optimized blood. They have almost no beast characteristics on their civilian identities, and these people are often offered to Lonely Mountain Castle as maids.

Rhodes had also met one or two extremely beautiful red-haired girls with skin as white as snow. Except for a fox tail behind her, she was almost the same as a human girl. However, these few beast emblems were a blessing to some nobles.
