Mount & Blade: Wind of War

"Although I don't like to read, my wife loves to read. I remember she once told me that there is an extremely rare spellcasting profession called a telepathic teacher."

"The ability of a mind master is mainly divided into three directions. Remote mental power scanning and perception, converting mental magic power into mind power to directly affect external matter, and using various weird means to destroy, manipulate, and influence other people's minds."

"You're just playing this trick in front of people who don't understand. My woman is a mage. Are you trying to fool me with this trick?"

"Yannick, don't be fooled by this bastard. It controls you...well..." Suddenly, a huge force hit Alleyn's abdomen like a battering ram, asking him what to say next. I can't even speak.

And during this process, Yannick's eyes behind Nebiros were still full of darkness, and it seemed that he could no longer hear what Alleyn was shouting.

"Take this guy down and lock him up. Just give him a little food every day so that he doesn't starve to death."

Since it is difficult to control, the first demon general Nebiros has nothing to say. Although he is somewhat interested in this human ultimate sword demon form, at this moment, there are too many things that need to be handled by Nebiros. .

What's more, there are those who refuse to surrender, and there are those who kneel faster than anyone else. The death knight Onila ran the fastest before, but she couldn't escape in the end. At this moment, after seeing Nebiros, she He crawled to the Demon Marshal's feet in a kneeling posture and kept kissing his soles to show his taming.

"We don't need a simple dog. What can you bring to us?"

"My lord Queen Nebiros, I am very familiar with all the necromancers in the Wailing Mountains. I believe many of them can be used by you. Many people died in Lonely Mountain Castle because of Alan Diel's action. , this has made many necromancers dissatisfied, just because Alantil is too powerful. Now that Alantil is dead, no one can deter the necromancers of the Wailing Mountains, and they can all be used by you. "

"It sounds interesting." As he spoke, Nebiros stretched out his finger and lightly tapped Onila's forehead between her eyebrows.

Onila could feel an evil energy, but she didn't dare to resist. She could only suppress herself and let the energy pour into her body and spread.

"I'll give you a month to find at least ten legendary necromancers from the Wailing Mountains. If you can't do that, imagine the consequences yourself."

"Mumble." Onila swallowed hard after hearing this. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should be happy that she could live for another month, or whether she should be afraid of the consequences after one month.

On the other side, due to full recovery, we returned with all our strength.

On the contrary, Rhodes was faster than Kress and returned to Lonely Mountain Castle first.

It wasn't until he returned to Lonely Mountain Castle that Rhodes completely relaxed. However, after sending the Griffin Knights to find Kress, he quickly held a meeting to explain all the causes and consequences of the whole incident in front of the senior officials of Lonely Mountain Castle. explained.

After listening to Rhodes' story, everyone present in the conference room looked unhappy.

It’s hard to watch. How long has it been since the war between the human race and the northern ancient orcs in Lonely Mountain Castle? The four cities of Lonely Mountain Castle are now experiencing some prosperity and development. A dimensional war that sweeps the entire continent and no one can escape is coming again.

"The news brought back by the Duke is still beneficial. The gate to hell opens at the Saint-Laurent-Vial volcano, which is the corner of the Western Continent. It is almost separated from all the countries in the north from my Lonely Mountain Castle. The marching speed of the army Unlike the extraordinary ones, it will probably take a year or two for the Hell Demon Army to get here. As for reaching here? A conservative estimate is that it will take five to ten years. Of course, I don't mean that everyone can Relax, I just hope that everyone will not be too nervous, the war has not yet ignited us. "

One of the essential abilities of an outstanding civil servant is to find a relatively good advantage for one's own side in the extremely harsh situation of the two sides. After many years of experience, Mo Ken has a vague idea of ​​​​this idea.

Although there is no famous statement such as "ten wins and ten losses", it at least relaxed the atmosphere in the conference room.

"It turns out that it was ten years later. The Duke's serious expression just now really scared me. Ten years later, Lord Fatis's injuries should have fully recovered. I really don't think any monster can survive in France." "You get a bargain under Lord Tisi's sword," Su Xiu, one of the officers, said, and then he was hit on the head by Fatis who was sitting in a wheelchair with his sheathed sword.

"As a Gushan soldier, can you have some backbone? When you encounter danger, do you count on a disabled person?"

"Your Majesty the Duke, this is definitely not a matter for our clan and one city. The elves, orcs, Styak, the Kingdom of Wizards, the Holy Kingdom, and the Merchant Alliance are all one family, and they cannot stay out of the matter." At this time, the civil servant Janice, the female officer of the First Department, took a step forward and said this.

"Indeed, it is true. The army of hell is relatively closer to them. If they can effectively resist the army of hell, let alone five to ten years, it is possible to withstand twenty or thirty years. But if they are easily defeated , we will completely lose any breathing space.”

As the most senior general in the military field of Lonely Mountain Castle, Lesarit evaluated the proposal purely from a military perspective.

Invasion of hell, war between two worlds.

However, among the five fields of politics, economy, military, diplomacy and culture, the first thing that Lonely Mountain Castle has to deal with is diplomacy.

If diplomacy is handled properly, the continental countries will join hands and at least not be swept away by the Hell Legion. If diplomacy is not handled properly, it will take less than two years for the Hell Legion to reach Lonely Mountain.

That night, Rhodes, assisted by civil knights such as Moken and Resarit, sent letters of communication to the heads of various countries.

Over the years, Lonely Mountain Castle has experienced several major battles.

The battle to kill the harpy witch is no longer ranked. Although it is still a very meaningful battle to establish a city in Lonely Mountain, in the eyes of the world, the dragon-slaying battle and the bloody battle between the human race and the ancient orcs in Lonely Mountain are more worthy of attention.

In any case, it is natural for the letter signed by Rod Hart of Lonely Mountain Castle to be placed on the desk of any leader of a tribe or country on the continent.

"Your Excellency's letter should be written in different tones and words to different forces. Raymond and Saint Laurent have been defeated by the Sims Royal Court. Now they occupy one or two important defensive towns and are just trying to survive. You don't need to waste time on the letter to them. Just tell them what's going on. You can even have me write it for them."

Civil servant Moken said this while stroking his beard and sorting out his thoughts.

Over the years, Moken has worked hard for Lonely Mountain Castle and has exhausted his efforts, so that he looks very old.

"For the letter to Fastel, the capital of Styak, we must be careful. We are not in a hurry to get rid of Styak's nominal protection, but if we lower our posture too much, we have to be careful that His Majesty Haines will draw blood from us. Although Lonely Mountain has some foundations over the years, the entire Styak Empire has been rotten. It is in vain to give it any blood."

Since the establishment of Lonely Mountain Castle, there has been almost no war.

But the population growth has never stopped, and the commercial culture development in a non-war state has never stopped.

After fighting several battles with a huge disparity between the enemy and us, and winning the battles, the crossbows produced by Lonely Mountain Castle were called the strongest crossbows on the continent.

Orders came in like snowflakes. There was only a time when the arsenal's productivity was insufficient and the goods could not keep up, and there was no time when the goods could not be sold.

In addition to heavy crossbows, armor, swords, silk, cloth, and foreign slaves are all high-value and high-profit businesses.

Even trade with the northern orcs has flourished again. The Hoffman Empire lost hundreds of thousands of orcs under the Lonely Mountain Castle and returned in defeat, but the remaining ancient orcs had to survive. On the other hand, due to the sharp drop in population, although the North is barren, the difficulty of life for the remaining ancient orcs has decreased, and the means of production have increased.

If there is no more war, it may be a small "golden age" after decades of development.

The so-called great order will come after great chaos. In fact, it is just the normal law of birth and death. As long as the population is small enough, even if they just graze and farm, the ancient orcs in the north can live a rich and comfortable life.

Just like the productivity of monkeys has never been improved, but monkeys rarely starve to death.

Just these diplomatic letters, Rhodes, Moken, Resarit, Janis and others were busy for a day and a night.

After each letter was written, it was discussed repeatedly and all aspects were fine. After it was sent out by the griffin knight and handed over to the leaders of major forces.

Originally, the eastern and western lines of the orc-blooded Sims Royal Court were watching the human countries in the central part of the continent. At the same time, the Styak Empire, the Mage Kingdom, the Holy Kingdom, and the Merchant Alliance had conflicts with each other. Now don't fight anymore. The common enemy has appeared. The hell demons are not productive. If they are allowed to sweep northward, it will be a huge disaster for all races and countries on the continent. No one can stay out of it.
