Mount & Blade: Wind of War - Chapter 593

c580 Justice War

Blood and spirit like a dragon or a demon!

The ultimate evolution of one’s own individual life, just through the most primitive flesh, fangs and claws, is already the pinnacle of attack and defense in the universe, evolving to the most perfect body, enough to shatter the stars.

In the secret room, Rhodes stared at the corpse in front of him, and there was a dark gold color in his eyes, making it like a microscope, which could shrink and magnify the perspective, observing every texture on the dragon demon’s body, every rune with deep connotations.

“Your Majesty.”

At this time, two dark shadows appeared beside Rhodes.

Rhodes was not surprised. The couple was originally ordered to guard here, and at the same time they could also study and comprehend the dragon demon’s body to a limited extent.

After the salute, the two shadows lifted their cloaks, and they were Airen and Caitlin.

“Caitlin, strictly follow the research rules I set. If you immerse yourself in it and lose your mind, I will have to kill you myself.”

“Yes, I dare not disobey your will in the slightest.” Caitlin bowed again and said so.

“Well, Airen, look at her. The dragon demon remains are of great help to dark wizards, but they also have a huge impact. Don’t let her go the wrong way.”

“Yes.” Airen’s response to his chest was much simpler than Caitlin’s, but it made Rhodes more at ease. After a baptism of life and death, Airen’s will has been greatly strengthened.

“Next, Lonely Mountain will join forces with the Mage Kingdom, the Holy Empire and the Bright Moon to annex the entire Styak. Wouldn’t it be too boring to stay here for a long time? Let’s go on an expedition together?”

When Rhodes said this, he was also observing the reactions of the two. People like him certainly wouldn’t completely believe in someone because of the past and a few words. Whether it was Airen or Caitlin, if either of them refused, it meant that they had been influenced, and Rhodes would immediately transfer them away from here.

“It is my honor to hold the sword for His Majesty again.”

“… I obey your command.”

Compared to Airen’s hesitation, Caitlin hesitated for a moment, but this was normal and in line with the situation of the two.

Therefore, Rhode nodded and said:

“After ten years of development, our strength has grown stronger and stronger. There have been constant wars and fighting in Styak for ten years, and the people have long been disgusted. With the rise and fall of the two, our attack must be unstoppable. During this period of preparation, you should think about which army to go to, and then tell me. After the overall arrangement, it may be as you wish.”

In fact, the fertile land of the wilderness is enough to establish a country. Rhode is not even interested in the land of Styak. However, Rhode cannot tolerate the continuous war and the large population loss.

Cultivating to this level, especially the characteristics of “God and I are one”, which can make oneself devour the power of faith, golden spirit, light divinity, light power and even system dinar to strengthen the body of the ancient sun god. Under such circumstances, Rhode certainly cannot accept the large number of deaths in Styak.

Although many people in Styak desperately migrated to the Northern Light Empire, it was hard to leave their homeland after all, and long-distance migration was a very dangerous thing in this era. Therefore, although there were a large number of immigrants, it was still not enough in Rhode’s opinion, or even far from enough.

After all, let me occupy this world.

In the following period of time, the Mage Kingdom, the Holy Empire, the Light Empire and even the Merchant Alliance successively declared war on Styak.

Now Styak is no longer an empire, because even the royal family has died out. Although there are people who claim to be the blood of the imperial royal family, other countries do not recognize them, and even if they are true, they are now false.

The various nobles in this country are fighting each other, and the people are suffering. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call the annexation of it by various countries a war of justice. Rhode is not very clear about how other countries deal with it, but the order he issued is:

Accept and comfort the poor people, do not accept the nobles and merchants, and guarantee their lives and safety if they surrender voluntarily. If they do not surrender voluntarily, their entire family will be destroyed once they are captured!

The reason for such a harsh order is that the Styak Empire has been peaceful for more than 200 years, and many of its nobles and big merchants have become a cancer in the operation of the country. Now they have made the whole country miserable and have lost their moral and legal support. If they are not eliminated at this time, it will be a great trouble to bring them back to the country.

Of course, if they are willing to lay down their weapons and surrender directly, then these people also have the right to live. Anyone who dares to resist will be directly slaughtered. Such a fierce force can also deter many nobles and big merchants. However, no matter whether it is a noble identity or property, it is impossible for you to keep it. For many people, it is really more cruel than killing them.

The Lonely Mountain Army is a well-known powerful army in the world, and it also has the advantage of high-level extraordinary strongmen. Under such an absolute disparity, the army still encountered some resistance as soon as it entered the territory of Styak.

It was the big landlords and nobles who refused to give up their own property. They had their reasons for resistance, but the people below should not have resisted with them. After all, Lonely Mountain not only had absolute military advantages, but also distributed land and property to civilians and slaves. Therefore, it only took two days of siege and propaganda, and then those castles would open from the inside and surrender.

When any society develops to a certain stage, social resources will be divided into 28 or even 19 points, and a very small number of people will control the vast majority of the huge wealth, because wealth itself has the characteristics of aggregation. If a person has 100 gold coins, it is definitely much easier to earn another 100 gold coins than to start from scratch.

Therefore, as long as the empire kills the “two” and the “one”, it can control most of the resources and wealth, and distribute a little to the people, which is enough to gather huge public support.
