Mount & Blade: Wind of War
Chapter 236 Mission Reward, the Holy Grail Arrives
The death of the thief king, Constart, plunged Sin City into a state of complete chaos and disorder.
Those leaders who wanted to become the new thief king did not think of trouble with Rodhart, but the controllable forces in their hands were not enough to encircle and suppress the army of Lonely Mountain Castle in the hills behind the mountain.
The hills behind the mountain have complex terrain and a large area. This situation is most suitable for ambush operations by small units, not to mention the army of Lonely Mountain Castle, whose elite soldiers are far stronger than the thief army of Sin City.
The people in Sin City who really suffered were the people. When Constart was still alive, the survival rules were harsh, but at least there was the most basic order.
And in a certain period after Constart's death, all order collapsed, and the unrestrained thieves were like mad beasts, looting everything they could loot.
Rhode had no way to deal with this. He could only lead his army back to the back mountain. A general cannot be merciful. Sometimes he must be harsh and ruthless to his comrades, not to mention these civilians who do not belong to him.
"My lord, how do you decide to deal with the situation next?"
Likia Qiusha has lived in the Qingyu Forest since she was a child. She has never seen or experienced human tragedy. Therefore, at this moment, she even questioned Rhode's words.
Elves are really the family of God. They not only have unique talents, but also the most important point is that the population is very small, so they do not need to face cruel competition for survival. As long as they want, they can find a forest anywhere and reproduce for hundreds or thousands of years, and the population will not increase much.
But don't think that elves are really the embodiment of truth, goodness and beauty. They are born to worship peace and are not tainted with violence. In fact, the underground drow elves, whose reproductive capacity has been greatly improved, kill each other more cruelly than humans. It's just that this is a race that will only appear in the middle and middle stages of the war wind, and it has not appeared yet.
Likiya Qiusha's naivety now is more due to the state of never having experienced the pressure of survival.
"You can kill people at will, which means that others can kill you at will. The final result is that most normal people will re-establish a new order, while a small number of antisocial people will be besieged, imprisoned, and exterminated by the majority."
"So we don't need to do anything, just wait here. People don't cherish peace just because there are not enough dead. When enough people die, they will naturally make the right choice."
In fact, Rhodes is more anxious than Likiya Qiusha, because he has a mission.
[Mission Log]
[Conspiracy from the North:
The number of months left: 04 days/4 months.
Mission Reward: Every month ahead of time to capture Konstart, the reward will be increased by one level. ]
It will be two months soon. In a few days, the mission reward will be reduced by one level again. Who can tolerate this?
But he couldn't bear it. The military force he had now was not enough to forcibly shake the overall situation. Then, he could only defend himself and wait for enough rational people below to choose the most correct and bright future for himself.
Another day passed, late at night.
Some Purgatory thieves finally reacted and began to attack other thieves who were still crazy, protecting the people, and then came to the bottom of the mountain wall and petitioned Rhodes for surrender.
Most of the stored food has been burned. Now everything in the entire City of Sin is a mess. If it continues like this, everyone will have to eat each other in the future to survive the next year.
Thieves come out to be thieves, they just want to live a good life. The premise of drinking big bowls and eating big pieces of meat cannot be eating human flesh. Thieves also have their own psychological bottom line.
Originally, Konstart had been suppressing them, and there was no way. After Konstart's death, some people went crazy for a while, but no one can go crazy all the time except the real madman. Tyranny is also an extreme emotion that consumes a lot of energy. Gradually, some people came back to their senses.
Just like the one at the bottom of the hill at this moment.
"The thief leader, Sijirad Blevins, sincerely requests Lord Rod Hart, the lord of Lonely Mountain Castle, witch slayer, lion who broke through the city of sin, and defender of the original human race in the wilderness, to accept our surrender."
"Please use your supreme wisdom and glory to protect this town trapped in the flames of hell..."
Blevins raised his sword high and knelt on the ground opposite the hillside for a long time. He was surrounded by thieves holding torches. They were covered in blood and looked tired and empty. Really, they were exhausted to the extreme.
After a long time, the griffin knights flew over from the opposite hillside. They first jumped down and fixed with iron chains to form a simple chain bridge. Then a beautiful elf walked out. When she waved her hand, grass vines and flowers appeared on the simple chain bridge.
Then, Rodhart, dressed in military uniform, walked over slowly. He took over the long sword held high by Blevins who was half kneeling there, and then patted his shoulder.
"Well done. Today's peace and future peace are all due to you, Blevins. Your descendants will be proud of you."
The Purgatory Thieves Corps led by Blevins was not the largest, nor the strongest, but with this group of thousands of people as a foundation, Rhodes could occupy part of the city of sin, and this was also a signal.
Back then, these thieves followed Constart to build a city. On the one hand, they were defeated and reorganized by Constart, and on the other hand, they hoped to have their own town in the future, become a noble, and live a good life.
Now, after experiencing the suffering of hell, a bright road has appeared in front of them. In any case, following the lord in front of them who is known for his kindness does not seem to be a wrong choice.
Therefore, more and more people gathered to surrender, some of them were sincere and some were false, but Rhodes had elite troops in his hands, and he was not afraid of their sincerity or falseness. In less than two days, his power expanded rapidly and occupied the entire city of sin.
[Ding! ]
[Task, conspiracy from the north, has occupied the city of sin. Remaining time 02 days/4 months. Task reward: Holy Grail descends, the descending location can be selected by yourself. ]
In front of Rhodes, first a thick scripture passed by, with the words "God loves the world" written on it. Then it jumped to the second item, a pure silver cup.
If he could capture the sinful city of Constat within a month of receiving the mission, he would get the scripture.
However, if he could capture it in the second month, it was already the limit of Rhode's micromanagement. If he took any more risks, he might die.
