Mount & Blade: Wind of War

What are the most important conditions for success in the following:

It’s timing and execution.

Just like every unified dynasty, it has its own life cycle. Usually this life cycle lasts for more than two hundred years and close to three hundred years. When the time comes, the vitality of this dynasty is still extremely strong. So no matter how it is planned and executed, The probability of success is not high, because the people have determined that the mobility of the upper and lower classes of society has not been completely consolidated, and social elites will not devote themselves to such dangerous affairs.

When the time is right, all that is left is to execute decisively. The scholar's rebellion failed for three years. This situation must be avoided.

The most difficult thing about the success of many things is the first step. As long as the first step is taken, oftentimes the right time and place will help, and everything in front of you will be as easy as destroying something. Often the person involved will find it incredible, as if it was a lifetime ago.

Through his observations when he entered the city on the first day, Rhodes discovered that in this foreign city, the resentment of the human slaves was like lava about to erupt from the volcano. There were at least thousands or even nearly ten thousand slaves in the mountain fortress. This huge number of human slaves formed the cornerstone of the town, but pushing them forward also shook the foundation of the town.

So the next day at the commercial market, Rhodes dared to directly ask a human slave if he wanted to be free and if he wanted to truly live like a human being.

Because when the time comes, what is needed is execution. It is better to do it hastily than to hesitate and be at both ends.

Returning to the camp from the commercial market, Raymond asked uneasily: "Sir, will that guy betray us? Wasn't what you did just now a little... impulsive?"

"Since you are worried, Raymond, let's go back and wait. If we are reported, it means that the humans here have been completely domesticated, and we have no power to help them get back on their feet. If we are not reported, it means that Great things can be done.”

Before doing anything, Rhodes considered the repercussions of failure, but he felt that he could bear the accusation of a human slave, and at worst he would lose some money.

When the three of them returned to the camp, Kress was feeding the little baby the cooked broth. The meat in the broth was almost boiled, so the little guy also ate sweetly and greedily. Maybe this was not her. Her favorite food, but it has been the rare rich food she has been able to get since she was born.

"Master, you are back."

"Um."

"Give me a hug, little guy."

"Hehe, please be careful, sir, don't hurt this little guy." Kress carefully handed the baby in her arms to Rhodes, and it was obvious that she really liked this little human cub.

Amid Rhode's calmness and Raymond's nervousness, a day passed and nothing happened.

At this point, Rhodes was sure that the time had come. Although he was holding the baby in his arms that night, he began to promote his plan without hesitation.

"Fatis, I know that with your temperament, when you knew about this mountain fortress, you probably thought about completely destroying it. The reason why you didn't do it is because you know that your power is far from enough."

"Now, I am sure to completely destroy it, but it will probably cost you your life. Are you willing?"

Late at night, Rhodes placed the little baby next to Kress who was already sleeping in the tent, then turned around and walked out of the tent, in the darkness, towards Fatis and Raymond waiting outside the tent, like this Yan said.

"Lord Rhodes, it is my honor as a knight to shed my last drop of blood for the happiness of so many humans. As long as you really have the power to destroy this sinful mountain city, Fatis will not be stingy with his own life."

Facing Rhodes at this moment, the wandering knight Fatis knelt down on one knee. There was no excitement in his words, but only calm indifference.

die? He hadn't been afraid in a long time.

"You may not die, it's just very dangerous. Rather than die easily, I hope you can work hard to live." He patted Fatis in front of him on the shoulder, and then turned his eyes to Raymond. .

"Raymond, my next plan is very dangerous. You can choose not to go. I won't blame you for this."

"Sir, dying for your ambition is what I hope for. Please tell me your plan." Although the reasons are different, Raymond also has no hesitation like Fatis. Compared with Fatis, Si, he is the one who truly devotes his loyalty to Rhodes.

"Next, I need you to break away from the team and blend into the human slaves in the mountain fortress. Those alien races cannot be too strict and reasonable in their management of human slaves. It may be difficult to escape, but if you want to blend in silently, I think I can’t help you... No matter how we plan and raise our troops, it’s impossible for our troops to have the ability to attack the city in a short time, so I need you..."

Crow Canyon/Mountain Fortress is not a good place for humans, so after four days of rest, Yalos chose to leave with the caravan.

The next week was uneventful and the journey was much easier than before.

Because Yaros quickly contacted the Centaur tribe in the Centaur Forest after leaving the mountain fortress. After offering several precious gifts, the Centaur tribe chose to protect and warmly entertained the caravan.

During this process, Rhodes noticed that the centaurs were really close to Alos. There was a clear difference between the enthusiasm they showed towards their true friends and the feelings they showed towards the caravan. This was obvious to someone as perceptive as Rhodes.

However, Rhodes did not explore too much. Everyone had their own secrets. Alos had them, and so did he. The two sides were just trading or even using each other. There was no need to get to know each other too deeply.

At the bonfire banquet in the Centaur Forest, Rhodes did not like the overly noisy environment.

Therefore, after being able to move freely, he brought his wine bag to a big tree in the forest to drink, looking up at the silver moon in the night sky.

This moon, if you only focus on the moon itself, is not very beautiful, but if you take the entire starry sky as the background, you will often feel that it is magnificent and incomparable.

Rhodes felt some pressure in his heart. The plan had already begun to be implemented. He did not know whether the plan would succeed. He did not know how many people would die for the plan, but he knew very well that this was what should be done, so there was no need to hesitate.

"What are you doing hiding here? The Tadir people's dance is vigorous, pleasing to the eye, wild and cheerful, which is not seen in Styak."

At this moment, Rhodes heard such a voice behind him. He turned his head and saw Arlos also holding a wine bag and walking towards the evening breeze.

Because he rarely drinks, his fair cheeks are flushed at this moment, and he is free and unrestrained.

"You have come out too. Drinking in a group and drinking alone are different."

"That's right. Uh, Rhodes, where are your two guards? I don't think I have seen them these days."

"In the previous battle in Silent Hills, the injury of a seriously injured soldier worsened. I asked them to send the soldier back first. Although it is very likely that he can't be saved, I still want to give it a try." Rhodes already had a plan for this question in his mind. The two wounded soldiers are indeed no longer in the team, but they are not returning to Redwood Town.

"..." Hearing Rhodes' answer, Arlos did not respond, but just stared at Rhodes.

After a long while, she spoke: "Rodhart, do you know? My mother taught me: 'Any words that cannot be verified should be regarded as lies.' Therefore, I believe you are lying."

"..." Now, it was Rhodes' turn to be silent.

"But what does it matter? I think everyone has their own secrets. Here, this is for you." As he spoke, Arlos took off a "paradoxical necklace" from his neck, because it was not made of precious metal gems, but a green leaf hung on a hemp rope, which looked strange and beautiful.

"You guys always like to practice some desperate martial arts. I don't want you to be disabled or dying the next time I see you. This thing should be able to provide you with some help."

Because Arlos threw it directly, Rhodes could only reach out to catch it.

But the moment he caught it, he felt a strange vitality penetrate into his body from the point of skin contact:

[Four-leaf clover necklace: a four-leaf clover necklace tied with clove grass rope. It is said that the combination of the two can bring good luck to the wearer. ]

[Additional attribute: due to some magical effect, the vitality of the four-leaf clover is stimulated. Long-term wearing can replenish vitality and strengthen personal physical strength. ]

"Hey, this thing is too expensive, isn't it?" Rhodes held up the necklace and shouted to the figure that was about to disappear in the darkness.

"It doesn't matter, just return your loyalty to me later." Waving his hand back, Arlos responded nonchalantly.

"...What are you doing!"

"You will make me feel guilty when I cheat you." Touching his chest and confirming that his conscience was hurting, Rhodes' brain was deeply relieved: I really have a conscience.
