Mount & Blade: Wind of War

Rod did not go in and disturb Resarit's work. He was not far away, closing his eyes and sensing Resarit's daily life.

Reading ancient military classics, sand table deduction, reading documents, inspecting military training of various camps, and punishing low-level officers.

This is Resarit's day. Day after day, others may find it boring, but he can get fun from it.

Then Rhodes left, and he was also impressed by Resarit's diligence and hard work. With or without him, the military strength of Lonely Mountain Castle is not a little bit worse.

"In wisdom, construction comes first, and development is the hard truth. So the strong do not ask other things, but only ask where the rock is."

With such emotion, Rhodes came to the Holy Light Cathedral.

It has been a long time since I came here. Now the Holy Light Church of Lonely Mountain Castle has been run very well.

In addition to government funding, the cathedral also raises money to help the poor through self-funding, and regardless of race. Rhodes even saw some lizardmen and sheepmen mixed in, doing voluntary work.

The cathedral, which was originally built very magnificently, now seems a bit crowded because there are too many believers. However, the land price of Lonely Mountain Castle is extremely expensive. Although James has proposed several official expansions, Moken refused to approve it.

The first civil servant Moken is an atheist, because if there is a god in this world, he will feel that the suffering he suffered in the first half of his life was fooled.

"If there is really a god, then where is it when we suffer in the Mountain Fortress?"

"It is because of the guidance of the Holy Light that Duke Rod Hart came."

"Forget it, I know better than you why Duke Rod came that year. James, you use these words to fool those fools, but you don't have a penny in your hand to blackmail this official. You found the wrong person."

Although it is crowded at this moment, because this church is run very well by James, it is still in order.

The Holy Light is bright, orderly, and warm, and the devil is dark, chaotic, and evil. These concepts have been successfully instilled into the minds of the civilians in Lonely Mountain Castle by James.

In this era, only the Holy Kingdom, which is founded on religion, can achieve this.

In addition to the Holy Kingdom, which is a country founded on religion, there is only the Holy Light Cathedral in Lonely Mountain Castle.

In addition, in addition to religious culture, the Holy Kingdom's agriculture and business levels are not well developed, and the people's lives are actually extremely difficult. In the past few years, although there have been constant wars in Lonely Mountain Castle, life has been getting better and better, and there is even more hope every day.

Reality and faith are confirmed and combined, so that a powerful force can be erupted. Although the Holy Light Cathedral cannot do it now, there is no doubt that James is constantly accumulating this foundation.

In addition to faith, helping the poor, and distributing food, James also requires the priests of light to study medicine with him to cure more diseases and save more people.

Over the years, due to the dual identities of the priests of light as soldiers and religious people, their status in Lonely Mountain Castle is extremely high. Many people have married the daughters of good families that they could not pursue with this dual identity.

This time, Rhodes did not show up. He watched and sensed outside the cathedral for another day, and then left.

However, this time when he left, Rhodes had already made up his mind.

Not long after, it was the Sun Festival.

There are two festivals in Lonely Mountain Castle, the Sun Festival and the Moon Festival. In a non-war state, the whole city celebrates together. During these two festivals, even slaves will get rich food to comfort their hard work for a year.

On the day of the Sun Festival, Rhodes held a banquet in the mansion.

Almost all the civil servants and knights in the city were present. Although they had some shadows in their hearts due to the invasion of hell, they temporarily forgot about it on this day and enjoyed the beauty of the festival.

On the long wooden table, covered with silk cloth, there were fresh fruits and game, such as apples, tomatoes, and whole cooked wild boars and chickens. There were also a variety of fish, including herring, cod, trout, salmon, beer, and wine.

Rhodes did not make any surprise attacks.

He had already conveyed to all his subordinates that he would choose a subordinate at the Sun Festival banquet tonight and give him the power of legend.

This news, because it was too big, of course caused a wave of waves, with the arrival of the extraordinary era.

Everyone has understood what legend means: powerful strength, long life, and youthful stasis, all of which are what people dream of.

However, now the lord said that he already has the power of "granting".

If it were an ordinary noble, everyone would doubt it, but the person who said this was the Lord of Lonely Mountain, the Dragon Slayer, Grand Duke Rod Hart.

All those who have the opportunity, who is not excited?

But inside the Lonely Mountain Castle, everyone knows each other well. The Duke's most trusted chief knight, Lord Fatis, has already been promoted himself, and the most favorite genius knight, Airen, is the same.

Among the remaining senior officials, civil servants such as Moken, Janis, Qiaolin, Ulmit, and Jimmy may not be able to carry the power of legend, so there will be few candidates left.

Almost everyone thinks that the Duke will give the legendary power to Knight Resarit during this Sun Festival, which is the least surprising, and even Resarit himself feels this way.

Finally, after three rounds of wine.

As Rhodes slowly put down the wine glass in his hand, everyone who was laughing and joking quickly became silent.

"I have already said before that tonight, I will give one of you the power of legend."

Following the Duke's words, almost everyone's eyes subconsciously moved to Lesarit, and he himself also puffed out his chest.

After so many years of hard work and military career, it is worth receiving this award today.

"Come on James, I have seen you presiding over the affairs of the Holy Light Cathedral these years. Today I will grant you a hundred years of life and eternal youth."

"ah?"

James was stunned when he suddenly heard such words. And Knight Lesarit, who was just across the long table from him, his originally excited face quickly turned cold.

Rhodes also saw this in his eyes, but sighed softly in his heart: "Do you think that after ten years of hard work, you think it is worth this bright divinity? If there was no such love between you and me, you would never have the chance to cross it in this life. That realm.”

There is nothing you deserve, and there are not so many things that can be taken for granted in this world. The wind, flowers, snow and moon are all created by nature, and the thunder, rain, and dew are all the grace of the king. Lessarit failed to understand this, he just needs to be polished.
