"Kill, kill, kill!

"For Rod! For the White Bear Lord, Son of Thor!"

"Kill them all!"

Just after the Evil Moon, Rhodes convened a military meeting of the Black Hammer Castle and decided to take the initiative to find the Beastmen's lair, the Ten Thousand Demon Rock, and destroy it to solve the Beastmen's problems once and for all. As soon as the idea was proposed, it was immediately supported by the warriors of the Norsca tribe. Especially the little boy Bogur, the butcher was still wearing bandages, but he roared excitedly, and resounded with the Norsca savages present.

They believed that Rhodes would win, especially after the second evil moon night, and after witnessing the miracles that happened to Rhodes, all of them no longer doubted that their lord had brought them defeat......

And the reason why Rod put forward this idea is also based on it. It's not because he is really invincible and can do whatever he wants, but because the Ice Queen's order is to rush to Erlengrad before the 25th of this month, but after such a fuss from the beastmen, his troops will definitely not be able to reach Errengrad before the 25th, and it is certain that they will be held accountable and criticized.

Therefore, since it is no longer possible to change this fact, it is better to simply change the plan and directly attack the beastmen in the territory to permanently eliminate the threat of the beastmen in this area, so that the Evil Moon event that has plagued the development of Blackhammer Castle will no longer be a threat. Right now, just after the Evil Moon, the Beastmen have experienced a siege battle, suffered heavy losses, and their strength is in a weakened state, while the morale of their troops is high, and it is a good time for a decisive battle.

The warriors below were in high spirits, banging the table with the hilts of their swords and letting out a roar of excitement.

"Forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, my lord, your squire Jason died in the last battle, and you don't have an acolyte by your side, so who is your next squire?"

Celta stood up and spoke loudly. Barbarians have always been unconventional, they speak very directly, they say anything, and they do not beat around the bush. Rhodes knew that if he wanted to use them, he couldn't change them too much, otherwise, no one would want to follow him, so he respected the traditions and customs of these northern Norscans in all respects, except that the army had to obey his own orders in execution.

Of course, if the Norscans were so direct in the southern empire or the kingdom of Bretonnia, it would definitely not work, and would be regarded as disrespectful by the local lords. Celta didn't mean that, he had always been so aggressive, and Rod knew that.

"I haven't thought about it yet. ”

Looking at Celta, Rod replied.

"So, I have a good candidate, I wonder if my lord will be satisfied?"

Celta said, her eyes narrowing into a line and looking at Rhodes with a smile. Institutions

"Who?"

Rod asked.

"My nephew - Newmans. ”

As soon as Celta finished speaking, Rhodes knew his idea, that is, he wanted his nephew to go to the lord's side to receive training, so that the people of his family could be more "close" to the lord. Although the Norskas have no talent for playing politics, this move is actually planting people and cultivating henchmen in the empire or in Kislev.

As the person closest to the lord, the attendant can learn the most real situation of the lord, including the lord's diet and living conditions. Sometimes, some lords will also delegate important tasks to their own squires, who in some ways are the first to receive information. What's more, after gaining the trust of the lord, he can also convey orders on behalf of the lord. Some of the people in high positions, many of whom could not be approached, started with their attendants.

So, the lord squire may seem like an inconsequential position, but it actually means a lot. Rhodes knew that with a rough man like Celta, he might just have good intentions to introduce his nephew to the lord as an attendant, and he wanted to train his nephew, but from Rhodes' point of view, he couldn't do this, otherwise, after a long time, outsiders would gossip that Celta was too close to him, and intentionally or unintentionally elevated the status of the marauder captain among the Norscans, which was an unstable factor in management.

Rhodes will not allow such a situation to happen, a person who is originally simple and kind, once he gets too much power, one day, he will also have evil thoughts. The best way to prevent it is to simply not give him such a chance and let him continue to be a simple person.

"Celta, Northland Warriors, I accept your kindness, but I already have a new candidate in mind. ”

Looking at Celta, Rhodes said bluntly. Although this embarrassed Celta a little, it at least cut off the future corruption of power at the source. You can see Celta's slightly sad expression, but he quickly recovered, the Norscans are not like the southern empire or the Kingdom of Bretonnia, they are not so hypocritical, okay is okay, if it doesn't work, it won't work, since you recognize the boss, you have to listen to the boss, listen to all the arrangements of the boss.

And Rod does have a suitable candidate in mind - Tallinnam. This young man was a pure Lady of Kesley, unrelated to everyone here, he was just a child from a poor family, and a year ago, on his way to the city of Kislev, he met him and his father, at that time, the boy was suffering from rat fever, and before leaving, he gave a gold coin, which became the boy's life-saving money, which was equivalent to saving him. So, the boy traveled thousands of miles to repay himself. His loyalty can be trusted, and at the same time, he is also a good candidate. Provided that he is still alive.

Luckily, there was no boy's name on the list of the dead, so Rhodes asked Mulos to help him find him.

When Tallinnham was ordered to see Rod, he was wearing a bandage on his head, and the red blood was clearly visible. Obviously, the boy had also been injured in the recent Battle of the Evil Moon, and one can imagine the horror of a newly conscripted recruit when facing an army of fierce and bloodthirsty beastmen. But he survived after all, and those who can survive are no longer considered recruits, and after a few more experiences, he can also become a veteran.

However, Rhodes did not intend to make him a veteran who would only fight on the battlefield, but an all-round warrior.

"Tallinnam, from today onwards, you are my squire. Remember, there is only one acolyte of the Lord of Blackhammer Castle, you must accept all my dispatches, complete all the tasks I have arranged, you will not just be an acolyte, but a warrior, on the battlefield, you will be responsible for protecting me, and when I go out, responsible for ensuring my personal safety. You will learn a lot, and if necessary, you will also learn all kinds of cultural knowledge and social etiquette. In return, you'll have a good salary and even hope to get your own land in the future. ”

In the halls of Blackhammer Castle, Rhodes spoke to the young man seriously and solemnly, and arranged his work on the spot, granting him the status he deserved. The excited look in Tallinnam's eyes could be seen as he fulfilled his father's wish to repay the man who had saved his life.
