Mount & Blade: Wind of War

If the beast-blood fox girl in front of the four people didn't have a little fox hair on her cheeks, her appearance would be quite pretty, but the four people's focus was not here.

"This girl, we are adventurers heading to Lonely Mountain Castle. May I ask where this is?"

Among the four people, it was Cress who ran over to ask this question, because seeing that the person coming was a little girl, the fox girl's demeanor was much more relaxed.

At this time, Fatis stepped forward and helped her take the wooden barrel full of water. His humble and kind temperament also made the girl completely relieved.

"This is the White Stone Fortress, a subsidiary city of Lonely Mountain City. The lord here is Lord Dadar, who is loyal to the Duke of Lonely Mountain. You can come in and rest. From here to Lonely Mountain Castle, you can't walk today."

"Duke of Lonely Mountain, I have heard of his name. What kind of person is he? Some people say he is cruel and bloodthirsty, some people say he is a bloodless benevolent person, and there are all kinds of things." Rhodes asked with a smile while leading the horse.

"Duke of Gushan? May he live long. I don't know what kind of person that lord is, but I know that after that lord ruled the wilderness, our entire tribe moved into the city. Although we were a little scared at first, after staying for a while, we found that life in the city was much better than life outside. We no longer have to worry about attacks from wild beasts or food shortages." As she spoke, a warm smile appeared on the girl's face.

"Duke of Gushan, may he live long!" The gentle girl of the Beast Blood Fox Clan repeated this again.

When they arrived at the gate of the White Stone Fortress, there were heavy infantrymen of the Sheep Clan and heavy crossbowmen of the Human Clan guarding here together. The people of the two tribes mixed together and talked and laughed, which was a rare peaceful scene in this era.

After seeing the five people coming together, the soldiers restrained their smiles and became alert. The sphere of influence of Lonely Mountain Castle is far from being peaceful for a long time. Many city guards are veterans who have been on the battlefield and come down to rest. They all have the smell of blood on their bodies. They only rely on their eyes to make most merchants and adventurers behave themselves.

The word adventurer sounds very combative, but in fact, there are good and bad. Of course, there are a few elites among them, but most of them dare not stand out in front of the regular army, especially in front of the regular army of Lonely Mountain Castle.

"Stop, Lijia, who are these people? Why did you come back together?"

"Brother Moro, these are adventurers who plan to go to Lonely Mountain Castle. They are all good people."

"Stupid, you believe whatever they say?"

The human heavy crossbowman stepped forward and pulled Lijia over. During this process, his eyes were fixed on the four people. However, Osana cast an illusion spell on the four people. Although it was not very clever, it was enough to deal with the low-level soldiers.

"What on earth are you guys here for? Adventurers, huh, adventurers can afford such good horses?" As the city guard soldier Moro spoke, the soldiers around the city gates gathered around them, and even some heavy crossbows on the city walls were aimed at everyone.

Rhodes prepared to activate the super-state fighting spirit while stepping forward to say good things. He knew the power of the heavy crossbows in Gushan Castle. If a fight really broke out, if he didn't reveal his identity in the first time, he would be shot by dozens of heavy crossbows around.

"Sir, calm down, sir, we are just some travelers, you see we have two women here..." While speaking, Rhodes secretly handed a bag of coins to the city guard officer. Fatis behind him frowned slightly when he saw this, but closed his eyes and didn't say anything.

After receiving the bag of coins, the junior officer Moro secretly padded it, and then his face suddenly turned into a smile.

"Oh, so you are a traveler. OK, I'll go in and register you. You guys can come in." As he said that, he turned around and stretched out his arm, pulling the girl of the Beast Blood Fox Clan into the city.

"Brother Moro, my water" The girl fell silent before the word "bucket" came out.

Not long after, the soldiers guarding the city door stepped aside to let the four people in. However, Rhodes and Fatis were both very sensitive. They vaguely noticed that a group of heavy crossbowmen on the city wall were moving quickly.

"Sir, you seem to have complicated things."

"..."

Without Fatis's reminder, the three idioms of "making a fool of oneself", "entering a trap", and "closing the door to beat the dog" had already flashed quickly in Rhodes' mind.

"Hahahaha, it's a good thing, it shows that the young man is not bad, and it shows that the brothers are very alert. Osana, please remove the illusion on us."

Hearing this, Osana walked out with a smile, waved her hand gently, and removed the illusion effect on the four people.

Then Fatis stepped forward and said loudly, "I am Fatis. Let Dadar come out to see me."

With these words, everyone on and off the White Stone Fortress was in an uproar, but Fatis and his men had followed before. Without the cover of the illusion spell, many of them half-knelt on the spot and saluted their commander.

With Fatis's status as the first knight and the first general of the Lonely Mountain Castle, he suddenly came to the White Stone Fortress. Dadar Xuerong, the alien city lord who ruled the White Stone Fortress, immediately rushed out in a panic after hearing the news.

When he arrived at the gate of the city, the moment he saw Rhodes, Dadar Xuerong burst into fighting spirit, and he fell forward and slid to his knees, plowing the ground and kneeling in front of the lord.

"My Lord Duke, why did you come to the White Stone Fortress in person? Please forgive me for not welcoming you in time."

Although they were once enemies, as the first alien leader to surrender to Lonely Mountain Castle, Dadar Xuerong was almost the only alien lord among the high-level officials of Lonely Mountain Castle. However, Lonely Mountain Castle was a centralized system, and he, as a lord, did not have the freedom of those noble lords outside the wilderness, not to mention that he was an alien.

Therefore, for the power in his hands, in order to have the power to protect his own people, Dadar Xuerong's awe and loyalty to Rod Hart far exceeded that of other human civil servants and knights.

The captain of the guard, Moro, and the girl from the Beast Blood Fox Clan, Lijia, knelt down trembling like him. Moro knelt down and patted the ground with his head. As a Rhodok heavy crossbowman who was born a slave, he regarded the lord in front of him as a god.

"Not bad, you are very good."

Walking over, Rhode gently patted Moro on the shoulder. At the same time, he asked, "How did you determine that I have a problem?"

"Sir, because no adventurer would give the captain of the guard half a bag of gold coins at once. There is no adventurer who is so generous."

"Uh...hahahaha." Although he had guessed it vaguely, Rhode couldn't help laughing at this time. "

"Good, good boy, you must be so careful and cautious in the future, and fight bravely. You have a bright future."

"Yes, sir!"

Rhode did not continue to promote him, because he knew that his words were enough.

It would not be good for him to raise Moro to a too high position at once. With his own comment, he would naturally have more opportunities than others.
