Mount & Blade: Wind of War

Chapter 518 The Use of Corrupt Officials

Resalit has an old-fashioned and stubborn temperament. He is very good at defense. His temperament combined with his heroic characteristics can bring out the war potential in a city to the maximum.

Therefore, in terms of defending the city, Fatis is slightly inferior to him.

However, Fatis's temperament combined with his insight characteristics made him stronger than Lesarit when he went out to lead the army in battle. With his extremely strong personal combat strength, before being promoted to legend, Lesarit fought with a large army. It can still compete or even suppress. However, after being promoted to Legend, unless the size of the combined armies of both sides is continuously increased to one million people, Resarit can suppress Fatis under the same circumstances. However, this continent may not be able to bear such military power. scale.

Apart from Fatis and Lessarit, Rhodes is the third person in Gushan Castle who is good at commanding troops.

His own characteristics are that he is constantly changing and his troop training efficiency is extremely fast. Under the same circumstances, in a head-on confrontation and a direct decisive battle, Rhodes cannot defeat Fatis and Lesarit. However, once the war cannot be ended in a short time and even turns into a guerrilla war, Rhodes De is confident enough that if the time delay lasts long enough, he can destroy Fatis and Lesarit by himself.

Even if they lose a hundred battles, they can still afford it, but as long as they win once, Fatis and Lesarit will be finished.

"However, this is a system ability, and it belongs to the category of cheating. Although the system is most likely one of my innate characteristics."

At the banquet, Lesarit's smiling face only lasted until he finished congratulating James, and then he retreated to a corner to drink.

Everyone also knew that he was unhappy, and they didn't go out of their way to upset him.

However, at this time, a beautiful elf maid came to Lesarit's side. After pouring him a glass of wine, she said softly: "Knight Lesarite, the Duke invites you to come and drink together." ”

"Uh!? Yes."

Lesarit was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up to answer the order.

Unlike his wife Jera, Lesalit thought clearly in his heart. If it hadn't been for the Duke's support and support over the years, he wouldn't have everything he has now.

Now that he has a title, identity, status, manor, and wealth, Duke Rhodes has not treated him badly. The reward of the "Legendary Power" level really depends on who the adults above him need it more.

Of course, even though he had figured it out, he still felt disappointed and unhappy in his heart, but Lesarit did not feel resentful. After all, he had already given a lot to Gushan.

At this moment, the Duke asked him to come over and drink. Lessarit's thoughts were also changing, thinking about how to show his loyalty and show that he had no resentment.

However, Rhodes did not give Lesarit a chance to say much. He just kept adding wine and food to him, while enjoying the singing, dancing and clown performances at the banquet.

"Lesarit, there is such a story in my hometown: a down-and-out prince lived among the people. However, due to the dynasty's chronic abuses and rampant corrupt officials, the whole country gradually fell into chaos and the people were miserable. Although this down-and-out prince Poor, but ambitious, he and his two brothers sworn sworn brothers in a place called Taoyuan..."

Lesarit had some understanding of the Duke's thoughts, and wanted to express his feelings during the conversation.

However, gradually, Lessarit became immersed in the story described by the Duke.

"After many battles and defeats, he rose up with difficulty. Finally, the general named Yu defeated the enemy's famous generals with inferior troops on the battlefield. He flooded the seven armies, shocked the world, unified the continent, and had the best chance to re-establish the royal family. It’s in front of you.”

"However, at the same time, in the rear, because the prince's wife's uncle embezzled military pay and resold military rations, after being discovered by Yu, although he scolded him, he did not punish him. After all, he was a relative of the lord he served... In the end, the prince's wife's uncle was really short of supplies. When he went to the front line, he knew that Yu would definitely kill him when he came back, so he simply gave the entire city to the enemy, causing Yu's death. "

"The seven armies were flooded, and the powerful and invincible hero in the world finally died at the hands of a villain."

After briefly telling the hero's story, Rhodes placed a document in Lesarit's hand beside him.

"You and I have been together for many years. You are one of my most trusted generals, so I have never dealt with these matters. However, I am also worried that you will not lose in the military war, but fall to the conspiracy from behind. Down."

After saying these words, Rhodes patted the back of Lesarit's hand, then stood up and left the banquet.

After Rhodes left, Lessarit quickly opened the file in front of him and saw that it was densely packed with records about the corruption, misappropriation of land and enslavement of slaves by numerous relatives of his wife's family.

In fact, the reason why Rhodes chose James instead of Resarit was because during this historical period, religious culture was more important to Lonely Mountain Castle than military development. The continuously strengthening faith will increase the income of dinars. It will increase the gathering speed of the dark gold holy liquid in the Holy Grail, and the dark gold holy liquid can be converted into the power to heal Fatis.

Therefore, in fact, Rhodes would never choose Lessalit no matter what. He would definitely give James the legendary power, but Rhodes still gave Lessalit a reason:

General running the army is one aspect, and running the family is another aspect. If you fail to manage the family well, how can I dare to use you with confidence?

Whether in a peaceful or chaotic world, there will always be corrupt officials in a power, with more or less problems. A powerful monarch will have full control of these situations and strike with thunder when necessary, which will not only wipe out the wealth accumulated by these corrupt officials, but also increase their reputation. A weak monarch will lose control of everything. At that time, the survival of the power will depend on the foundation of the power.

That night, after Knight Resarit returned to his manor, he had a big quarrel with his wife.

Originally, it was almost impossible for him to win the argument with his wife, but when Resarit threw the document in front of her, even Lady Jera felt cold all over.

Because according to the laws of Lonely Mountain Castle and these evidences, most of his relatives must die!

Seeing his wife dumbfounded, Resarit picked up his greatsword and rode out of the manor on his warhorse.

Seeing this, Lady Jera reacted very quickly and rode out of the manor on horseback, but she did not chase Resarit, but rode to the Duke's Mansion.

At this time, only the Duke could stop her furious husband.

Rhodes, who had anticipated this, delayed for a while, and waited for Resarit to kill the chief criminals before he hurried out to greet Lady Jera. After "asking about the whole story", he sent the Griffin Knights to capture Resarit.

In the end, the result of the handling of this matter was that Lady Jera's relatives were deprived of part of their property, Resarit was demoted to a middle-level officer, and the impact of the matter was minimized as much as possible.

However, after this incident, while Resarit and his wife Lady Jera were convinced, they still inevitably damaged Resarit's reputation in the army, but this was not necessarily a bad thing for him.
