Eventually, the queen's reward came down. A carriage full of gold, and several "loyal" guards. A cart of gold is worth a fortune. According to rough estimates, there are at least ten thousand gold crowns. That's the equivalent of three years of Blackhammer's total income, and with this money, many things can be done...... Of course, this is a lot of money for Blackhammer, but for Kislev, it's just a drop in the bucket. Compared to the Empire, Kislev is poor, but the treasury is still a bit of a family.

When the reward comes, Rhodes will inevitably accept it. Compared to the Grizzly Castle that was handed away, this reward is nothing. If you don't accept it, it will look contrived. It's just that those so-called loyal guards. Rhodes was not interested, on the contrary, with his more than ten years of experience in society, Rhodes believed that among these people there must be Katerina's spies in it, or all of them, or only one. But one way or another, these people are trouble.

And the reward is followed by another tricky task - find the Ghoul King's lair and destroy it...... Caterina personally gave the order, which left Rhodes with no choice again......

Ghoul King, Vampire. Vampire ...... of House Streiger There is one thing that Rhodes can confirm now, but that is that the Ice Queen and the vampires of House Strygg are mortal enemies. Yes, vampires are also divided into families and gangs, and Rhodes still doesn't know which vampire family Katerina belongs to, maybe as the Tsar of Kislev, she has already set up her own door, and it is not impossible for this possibility. In Katerina's eyes, Kislev is her territory, so it's only natural that other vampires won't be allowed to set foot on it.

So, from the beginning of the war to the present, she has not let go of any information about the vampires of the Streiger family, and has pursued and killed them all the way without mercy. In the camp of the Northern Alliance, two aristocratic youths from Kislev investigated the vampire wounding incident, which is a corroborative evidence.

Therefore, the vampires who hunted the Streiger family were also on the queen's side.

Rhodes knew that with his current strength, it was impossible to resist Katarina. However, the ghoul king's lair ...... This is indeed an extremely dangerous task, and it cannot be ruled out that the queen borrowed a knife to kill people...... With the help of the Streig family, take out yourself......

It's not impossible. This proves that she made the right decision to refuse the Queen's gift of Grizzly Castle yesterday, because she has not believed in herself at all, and she has not believed in the famous Chosen One - Rhodes is a person who has no desire to fight for power. She had to be convinced...... Rod thought to himself...... As long as Caterina doesn't let go of herself for a day, then she won't be at peace for a day. Rhodes has seen too many betrayers......

For several days, Rhodes has been in the room of Winterscarf, how to find the nest of the ghoul king of the Stryger family, Caterina gave some information, but it is not comprehensive, nor accurate, and this kind of thing must not be found in a big way, otherwise, before the people arrived, the vampires would have fled long ago, they are dark creatures, and their hiding ability is first-class. If necessary, a Streigh vampire can hide underground for the rest of his life, with a constant stream of rats and other creatures for them to suck their blood anyway......

Finally, Rhodes thought of the group of Moors he had met at Grizzly Castle. In terms of personal combat effectiveness, they may not be the match for their own brothers, but when it comes to the ability to find undead creatures, the Moors can be described as first-class hunters. The title of Night Raven Catcher already indicates their profession and identity, specializing in capturing the undead and sending them to the true land of the dead.

...... Newcastle

"Are you sure you want them to join?"

In the hall behind Winterscar, Caroline's cold voice came from the hall behind her. She stood there, the morning sun outlining her slender figure and frosty face, casting a long shadow behind her.

She didn't wear a battle robe, probably because she felt that the battle had passed, and there would be no more battles in a short time, so she took off her battle suit with confidence and put on the delicate clothes of an ordinary aristocratic girl. Sometimes Rhodes felt the need to create an exclusive armor for Caroline, after all, the mages of the Medieval Warhammer were not fully ranged spellcasters, in fact, most of the time, battle wizards were on the front lines...... The main reason why Caroline didn't fight on the front line was because she wasn't of enough level and was just a low-level witch. But one day it may be.

"Well, what's the point?"

Rod replied and walked into the hall from the balcony. The sun shone in, warming the icy floor.

"It's not that it can't, it's just that Moorishism is not recognized by everyone in Kislev, and even the majority of people reject it. If we want to fight alongside them, it will inevitably cause a lot of inconvenience, at least, what will the people think of us?"

Caroline replied worriedly.

Rod heard that last word very clearly, "we", not "you". Rhodes knew that in Caroline's mind, he was already part of the team. To be more precise, in Caroline's eyes, Blackhammer and Heidelberg are actually a close-knit whole. And, as agreed at the beginning, Caroline accounted for a large part of the proceeds from the cultivation of ice peppers in Black Hammer Castle. This also allowed her to accumulate a lot of wealth during the year, you know, this witch is not like Rod, she has to pay the salaries of soldiers and workers, and has to maintain the daily expenses of the castle, for Caroline, her income is purely earned. At most, spend some money on your own magic items and personal cosmetics and clothing. Elsewhere, it's basically not needed. After all, with Daddy here, Heidelberg can still function normally.

"It doesn't really matter what the people think of the Moors, it's whether these believers, these warriors, can really play their useful side. When I hired the Norscans to fight, the inhabitants of Blackhammer didn't understand it, and even became hostile, believing that the Norscans were the sworn enemies of Lady Kesley. After a few months, however, I was able to show them the effect, and instead of plundering our homeland, these barbarians from the north defended our castle. Lady Tikissley kills the Beastmen. If it weren't for them, Blackhammer would have fallen long ago. It was I who pushed their utility to the limit, and now, these Norsca warbands are not only the pride of Blackhammer Castle, but also the elite warbands of the Northern Alliance. ”

After Rod finished speaking, she saw Caroline nodding helplessly, she couldn't convince him......

This man always has his point, but fortunately he is not a very controlling person, otherwise, he would be to death, she said to herself.
