For more than a month, Rhodes woke up dragging his tired body. It is said that managing a castle is sometimes more tiring than leading troops into battle. All kinds of miscellaneous things are going on every day, such as someone stealing in the territory, and after being caught, there is not enough space in the castle basement to lock up people, what should I do, or what if a drunk person is injured and absconds, and someone must be sent to chase him back, or what, and for example, the Norscans in the town who come to take refuge in him are always making trouble, and drunken fights are almost the norm...... All kinds of problems made Rod anxious.

Now, I can understand why Muros fell ill, when Blackhammer Fort was just a small place with a few hundred people. However, when the small castle developed into a small town of three or four thousand people, the original management model was no longer applicable, and a new management system was needed.

In other words, he needs a group of people to manage the affairs of his territory for him, and if he relies on himself, he will be tired sooner or later. As for institution-building, this is a university question, and it is not something that can be done by oneself.

Rhodes could only put this matter aside for now, and now there was something more urgent to solve, and that was the troublesome Norscans. Blackhammer Fort is located on the border of Kislev, and further north is the Troll Country, which is a chaotic land, where Norscans, nezumi, greenskins, trolls, etc. live together, and since Rhodes made a name for themselves, many Norscans have been heading south one after another to join the White Bear Lord.

However, these Norscans, despite their prowess and prowes, are idle and difficult to manage. The Norska warband under his command only became disciplined after two years of rigorous training and countless punches and kicks. It's harder to get the rest of the northern Norska to do the same than to ascend to the sky.

To this end, Rhodes arranged for Virgil and Celta to deal with matters concerning the Norscans in the territory. As the leader of the Gnosca Warband, Celta enjoyed a certain status among the Norscayas, and the northern barbarians who had wandered here were willing to listen to him. And Virgil and Celta were arranged to work together to prevent Celta from having too much power and doing things indiscriminately. Under Rod's arrangement, all matters related to the Norscans in the territory must be decided by the two of them after mutual consultation, and if the two of them have discussed many times and cannot make a decision, Rhodes will come forward to deal with it.

This arrangement saved Rhodes a lot of time, and he thought about "creating" a new kind of entertainment - football.

American football, or rugby, to be exact. The rules of real football are too complicated for the public to accept.

What's more, this sport was specially invented to kill time for the Norscans, after all, in addition to hunting, these people basically came back drinking and fighting, and always had to find an activity for them to consume their physical strength.

With the complex rules of football, Rhodes can guarantee that the Norscans are not even interested in touching it, while rugby is good, ruthless enough, brutal enough, and the key is that the rules are simple enough. If it's not simple enough, Rhodes simplifies it.

In general, it is as simple as grabbing the ball and throwing the ball into the opponent's goal, no matter what means or tactics, as long as the ball is thrown into the opponent's goal, it is considered a win. It's like a large arena, except that the gladiators inside are replaced by players, and they have no weapons, only fight with their bare hands, grabbing the ball like mad dogs. Even if it's for the sake of scrambling for the ball, it's okay to cause a group fight. The Norskas like such hot scenes, and the feeling of fists to the flesh is the most comfortable. 118

As soon as the Dongquan River pontoon bridge was completed, Rhodes transferred the engineering team to the old city. A piece of land was set aside on the outskirts of the old town for the construction of a rugby field. As long as the site is located with a lawn, Rhodes requires that the auditorium be at least three stories high. A minimum of 2,000 people must be seated at the same time.

According to Muros's previous statistics, the current total population of Black Hammer Fort plus refugees is only more than 4,200 people, and a stadium that can accommodate 2,000 people can almost meet the size of a city of 30,000 people. After all, not everyone enjoys watching football, and not everyone has the time to do so. One in 10 people watching the game in the stadium is already a lot. The Colosseum was said to have a capacity of 80,000 people at the same time, however, at its peak, the city of Rome had no more than a million people. Even if the Colosseum was full, only one-tenth of the city was watching.

Rhodes planned this way for the rapid development of Blackhammer Fort in the future. After all, there is plenty of money on hand and a lot of land, so it depends on how to invest and where to invest.

Therefore, the site of the stadium was chosen to be on the outskirts of the old city, and in the future, the construction of the new city will be located in the lower reaches of the Dongquan River and towards the seaside. Choosing a stadium between the old and new urban areas is the most effective way to serve the public.

It's just that a stadium that can accommodate 2,000 people has a huge workload, but fortunately, manpower is never a problem, this wave of refugees is arranged, the efficiency of the logging team is doubled, and although the quarry is not in the territory of Blackhammer Castle, there is a quarry in Caroline's territory that has been in operation for many years, and it is enough to import stone from his wife's territory.

The trade routes of Blackhammer and Heidelberg have never been busier. And if there is something on Caroline's side, Rhodes will rush over as soon as possible, after the completion of the military road, it will only be a day's journey between the two places, and it is not a problem to come and go. As the saying goes, it's better to see each other on and off than to stay together all day......

However, just as everything was about to get off track, a message from Hoop Castle left Rhodes tossing and turning again. Diego, the witch hunter, has received a letter, and in the two months since he infiltrated the Ring, he has already obtained evidence that the Ring Castle has been corrupted by Chaos, but this evidence must be unearthed before it can be dug up. The Cultists of Slaanesh built an altar in the deepest part of the Ring Keep, performed mysterious rituals of sacrifice inside, and attempted to open a portal. In addition, Diego discovers Alves' whereabouts, and as Rod had previously suspected, the little dwarf is locked up and locked up in the Hoop dungeon.

The treasurer's advice was finally dismissed as nonsense, and Dean's shitty beat his uncle into the dungeon, giving only the worst food and dirty water every day, according to Diego, leftovers for the dogs, but handed them to Alves's prison. Rhodes worries about whether his old friend will be able to survive until he arrives to the rescue. In addition, the portal made Rhodes worried. The power of chaos is terrifying, and if this group of Slaanesh believers summons some great demons, even if the entire northern realm unites, it will not be able to deal with it.

The problem is that the evidence that the Ring Fortress was corroded by chaos is still hidden underground, and if other lords are called to lead troops to fight together, no one will dare to act without conclusive evidence. Count on Katarina, the Ice Queen, not to mention.

After much thought, Rhodes decided to take another risk, and under the pretext of visiting his old friends, he took a handful of elites to the Ring Castle to rescue Alves. If you can, kill the Followers of Slaanesh from the inside of the Ring Castle and destroy the portal. At the same time, have Celta and Caroline gather their forces and be ready at any time. Once the situation changes, regardless of 3721, directly attack the city.
