Mount & Blade: Wind of War

Chapter 237 The Lord of Benevolence and Light

Rod had just occupied the City of Sin. Apart from being able to buy a small amount of food from the system shop and provide a little subsidy, he could not improve the quality of life of everyone by space.

For quite a long time, the entire City of Sin was unstable and undercurrents were surging.

There was no way. If Rod did not occupy the City of Sin, at least some thieves could eat their fill. After Rod occupied it, these thieves who could eat their fill could not eat their fill because they were not allowed to plunder indiscriminately or kill people for meat.

However, Rod did not have high-pressure supervision because he was very clear about the situation in the city. If they did not eat people, they would not be able to survive. If they did eat people, at least some people could survive.

For this reason, Rod could only choose to judge a group of the most unruly and heinous thieves, hang them, deprive them of their property, and then distribute the bodies of these people to the people in the city.

Maintaining basic order, establishing moral criminal law, and fully resuming production, although life was still difficult, Rod's continuous governance gave everyone hope that the future would be better.

"Because our power is limited, we can only choose to weigh the relatively better ones in this world, but we cannot choose the best. However, if today's painful sacrifice can bring long-term peace and happiness, I think today's painful sacrifice is worth it."

The city was in chaos, and even the basic administrative system had not been fully established. Therefore, although Rhodes knew that there were tens of thousands of people in the city, he did not know how many tens of thousands there were.

In this situation, there was no way to count. Many civilians hid in the cellar and refused to come out. They could only wait until they were completely sure that the environment in the city was safe.

This morning, after Rhodes got up.

He only drank a bowl of white porridge and started a day's work.

Although Rhodes' supply did not decrease during this period, he distributed most of his food supply to the civilians below.

Because as his holy light Qi cultivation became stronger and stronger, Rhodes found that it didn't matter if he fasted for a short time. Although his body would be slightly weaker, his fighting Qi cultivation became more and more refined in the process.

Rhode had supreme authority in the army of Lonely Mountain Castle. When they noticed him doing this, almost all the soldiers started to do the same, and some even fainted from hunger until Rhode explicitly prohibited it.

Rhode and Fatis could do this appropriately, but most ordinary soldiers, who were physically strong, relied on a lot of food to support themselves. They could not bear to work without eating.

But it was also because of this practice that Rhode and the army of Lonely Mountain Castle gained a high reputation in the City of Sin in a short period of time.

Rhode simply couldn't bear to see children and the elderly starve to death, and made this choice without affecting himself. The army of Lonely Mountain Castle made this choice because they worshipped Rhode, but they were called the Holy Cross Legion by the civilians of the City of Sin.

Because no one had ever expressed such kindness to them, the wilderness survivors, the people at the bottom struggling to survive, were already very satisfied to meet a lord who didn't treat them as livestock or make blood sacrifices, let alone meet a benevolent lord like Lord Rodhart.

On the other hand, Rhode's 27 points were close to the peak of mortal intelligence, which allowed him to make a group of thieves who had never seen the world confused and crooked in political operations.

He made them distrust each other, hate each other, and suspect each other, and he himself coordinated in the middle, and actually used such a skill to increase the loyalty of a group of thieves.

Although most of them now have a good loyalty of "40-60 for indifference, 60-80 for friendliness", even if the good loyalty is only around 50, as long as the balance of power is played well enough, they can be driven.

"Rebuke!"

Accompanied by an eagle cry, the door was knocked soon.

"Come in."

Cress walked in and said anxiously:

"Master, it's bad, Narfu is back with the army."

Rogers and Narfu are the trusted adjutants of the thief king Constat, so they will lead the army to fight and hunt down the coalition led by Fatis before.

After more than a month of struggle, they returned with almost no success and suffered heavy casualties. I don't know why Narfu led his men back to the City of Sin.

"Back? That's a good thing. These two guys took a lot of food when they left the city. There should be a lot of military rations left now, so they just came back to deliver food to us."

"Ah? But Narfu has a lot of troops..."

"It doesn't matter. I have a small plan. If it succeeds, I can take away Narfu's troops and food without any effort. Even if it fails, our current army is enough to protect ourselves."

Cress, who was originally anxious, thought about it and found that it was indeed the case.

Without the prestige of Constart, the bandit legions fighting each other could not do anything to their side even if they rebelled collectively. Moreover, these bandits were not very loyal to Constart, and now I really couldn't think of a reason for them to rebel.

A few days later, a group of thieves led by Blevins went out of the city to welcome Narfu. Narfu had never expected that there was a trap, and was locked up after entering the city. Then Rhodes took over his remnants and food, which greatly alleviated the food shortage in the City of Sin.

In fact, Narfu returned because he got some intelligence, but he did not expect that the Sin City with tens of thousands of people would be destroyed by Rhode. Even the thief leaders who had known each other for a long time would rebel and kill him in a short time under Rhode's political skills.

After temporarily solving the food crisis in Sin City, Rhode ordered Janice to be the city lord and Airen to be the general to command and guard Sin City.

In times of chaos, heavy punishments are used. Although Fatis is more calm and kind, he is not suitable to deal with the situation in Sin City at this moment. Moreover, after occupying Sin City, the war in the North will end. Rhode also hopes to bring Fatis with him to give him more opportunities for training and promotion, rather than changing his job to an administrative talent.

Rhode himself took Fatis, Raymond, Cress, Caitlin, Likia Qiusha, as well as the Dark Black Armor Cavalry, the Virgia Giant Knight, and half of the Griffin Knights, and quickly went to the ruins of the southern battlefield.

It wasn't because there was a war going on there, but there was one thing that Rhodes, as the strongest lord in the Wilderness, had to confirm: whether the Hell Dragon had entered this world.
