Mount & Blade: Wind of War

The one who led the imperial army out of the city to meet the Lonely Mountain Castle army was the Prince of Grandhe who abandoned Anna in the wilderness.

When little Anna got off the carriage timidly, she turned her head and glanced at Rhodes. The reluctance in her eyes touched even a hard-hearted person like Rhodes.

"Your Highness, welcome home."

Judging from his appearance alone, Prince Grande is probably in his thirties, with a straight waist, a vague majesty, and handsome appearance. He is the kind of blond and blue-eyed prince who is in line with the current aesthetics, a standard prince image.

Seeing little Anna's hesitation to put her little hand into his own, the man seemed to have a flash of guilt in his eyes.

But he still took the initiative to reach out and hold the little girl's palm, and pulled her into the royal carriage representing the Styak royal family.

"Thank you for your hard work, Katsiqing, thank you for your hard work, everyone."

"It is our honor and mission to protect the safety of Her Highness the Princess." Katniss saluted with Luna and Berry behind her.

"Come with me, Knight Rodhart. Because of your loyalty and bravery, His Majesty has set up a grand banquet for you in the palace."

"It is a great honor, Your Highness."

Rhodes and Prince Grandhe rode their horses side by side, and the two armies merged into one and marched toward Fastel City together.

"accelerate!"

With such an order, time did not pass long, and the style and prosperity of Faster City unfolded before Rhodes' eyes.

Over the past two hundred years since the founding of the country, the city wall has been repaired and reinforced several times, and has accumulated up to twenty-five floors, which is higher than the six or seven floors in the previous life. This is already somewhat beyond the technical limit of normal medieval architecture. However, Considering the extraordinary power inherited in this world, it is not unacceptable.

There is a relief decoration carved on the city wall, which is a huge roaring ferocious lion's head. Therefore, Fastel City is also known as the "Lion City".

In fact, relief decoration on the city wall is not conducive to defense, but considering that Fastel, as the royal capital, has not experienced war for at least several decades.

From this perspective, a wonder and grand scene can help to cohere people's hearts. For this reason, sacrificing a little defense will do more good than harm.

As the army entered the city, the people on both sides of the road greeted them. When they saw the black armored cavalry and griffon knights of Gushan Castle, they all let out slight exclamations. At the same time, they pointed at the gnoll and lizardman troops. As for The mixture of Charles longbowmen and Rhodok crossbowmen is not so eye-catching because the units are too conventional.

"I would like to express my personal gratitude to you for saving Anna's life. In any case, Mr. Rodhart, you have gained my friendship."

As the two rode into the city together, Prince Grandhe suddenly said this. Rhodes couldn't tell for a moment whether there was some truth and some falsehood in this.

"As Anna's relative, it is undeniable that I have neglected my duty. Fortunately, I did not make a big mistake, and I will have the opportunity to make amends in the future. Mr. Rhodes, you came to Fastel on this trip to gain the favor of His Majesty. In terms of money, you need to persuade the Chancellor of Finance, Marquis Angel, and in terms of title, you need to persuade... Countess Ashwin Emelian. In addition, try your best not to pass. Your Majesty is very taboo about being involved in the political turmoil within the royal capital."

After saying these words, Prince Grandhe rode away quickly.

Lonely Mountain Castle is an enclave far away from the area ruled by the Styak Empire. The wilderness covers more than one million square kilometers. It has been in an undeveloped stage due to magic riots.

Now suddenly there was a pioneer lord there who captured a town in the name of the Styak Empire and established a foothold.

Radiating around from point to point, if the Sidyak Empire were at its peak, it could even eat a million square kilometers of land in one go, directly expanding the land area by one-third.

Of course, in fact this is almost impossible to do, but even if it is reduced and reduced, what is placed in front of the upper nobles of the entire Styak Empire is still a big piece of fat.

If it is solved well, it is very possible to continue the prosperity of the country for another two hundred years.

At night, Fastel Platinum Palace.

There are luxurious and splendid palaces, banquet halls filled with dazzling lights, and groups of ladies, deer-like girls and enchanting beauties.

It's not just a matter of interest. Knight Rodhart of Lonely Mountain Castle traveled thousands of miles to personally send the little princess back to the royal capital.

This is a huge inspiration. The Supreme Being who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, His Majesty Ladson Revitch, even if he spends a lot of money to buy horse bones, he still has to entertain the northern pioneer in front of him grandly.

Therefore, during the entire banquet, Rhodes continued to deal with invitations from various beauties, and his eyes were dazzled by the beauties one after another.

The royal capital is so extravagant, and the royal capital is so comfortable.

However, these feasting and feasting are nothing in the prosperous times, and they can even be used as embellishments in the prosperous times.

However, at the reception, Rhodes inadvertently thought about what he had seen and heard along the way: the farmers who had no food to eat and were begging on the streets, the hanged Mr. Steve, and his The whole family was killed.

These Rhodes saw it, and no one at the banquet could see it at all. They saw it, but they didn't care much because it had been like this since ancient times.

"However, quantitative change will lead to qualitative change! When the resentment of the lower classes accumulates to a certain extent, it will roll up a huge wave that will overturn everything. The Styak Empire has been peaceful for more than 200 years, and the concentration and oppression of internal resources have reached a certain level."

"His Majesty Ledson Revic has a total of six children, two of whom died young. The eldest prince Haines is in his fifties and is in his prime. He is very supported by the court officials. The second son has passed away. The third princess Emilia Edson, who studied under the court mage, is said to have great mage talent. , the fourth daughter has passed away, the fifth prince Christopher, is quite loved by His Majesty Ledson Revic, and is a devout believer with a close relationship with the Patriarch of the State Church Judgment Eye, the sixth princess Anna Han, is quite loved by His Majesty Ledson Revic, has strong luck, inner wisdom, and is a life-and-death friend of the border military lord Rodhart.

Then there is His Majesty's younger brother, Prince Grandher, and the powerful Minister of Wealth, Marquis Angel, who controls the government. "

Rhodes sorted out the information in his mind and found that it was already a mess.

The extraordinary era has arrived, and all politicians have gathered around extraordinary people, of course, including Rhodes himself.
