For more than a month, Rhodes woke up exhausted. It is said that managing a castle is sometimes more tiring than leading troops in battle. Various miscellaneous things happened every day, such as someone stealing in the territory, and the castle basement was not enough after being caught.
How to deal with a situation where someone is locked up? Another example is that a drunkard injures someone and absconds, and someone must be sent to recover him, or something like that. Another example is that the Norscans in the town who come to seek refuge with him always make trouble.
, drinking and fighting are almost the norm... Various problems make Rhodes anxious.
Now, I understand why Muros fell ill. When Blackhammer Castle was just a small place with a few hundred people, it was easy to manage. However, the small castle developed and turned into a town of three to four thousand people.
At that time, the original management model is no longer applicable and a new management system is needed.
In other words, he needs a group of people to manage the affairs in his territory for him. If he relies on himself alone, he will be tired sooner or later. As for system construction, this is a university question, and it cannot be done by himself.
Rhodes could only put this matter aside for now. There was something more urgent to solve right now, and that was the group of troubled Norscans. Blackhammer Castle is located on the border of Kislev, and further north is the giant
The Demon Kingdom is a chaotic land where Norscans, ratmen, greenskins, trolls, etc. live together. Ever since Rhodes became famous, many Norscans have been going south one after another.
Go to Lord White Bear.
However, although this group of Norscans are extremely brave in combat, they are restless and difficult to manage. This group of Norscans under my command has undergone two years of rigorous training and countless punches and kicks.
Only then did they become disciplined. For other northern Norscans to do the same, it would be even harder than climbing to the sky.
To this end, Rhodes arranged for Virgil and Celta to handle matters related to the Norscans in the territory. As the leader of the Norscan warband, Celta enjoyed a certain status among the Norscans.
The northern barbarians who wandered here were willing to listen to him. The purpose of arranging for Virgil and Celta to work together was to prevent Celta from having too much power and doing things randomly. Under Rhodes' arrangement, all matters related to the Norscans in the territory
Matters must be decided after the two of them discuss it together. If the two of them have failed to make a decision after many discussions, Rhodes will step in to handle it.
This arrangement saved Rhodes a lot of time, and with the time saved, Rhodes was thinking about "creating" a new entertainment activity-football.
To be precise, it is American football, that is, rugby. The real rules of football are too complicated and people may not necessarily accept them.
More importantly, this sport was specifically invented to kill time for the Norscans. After all, in addition to hunting, these people basically drank and fought when they came back. They always wanted to find an activity to consume their energy.
With the complex rules of football, Rhodes can guarantee that the Norscans are not even interested in touching it. Football is good, cruel enough, and brutal enough. The key is that the rules are simple enough. If it is not simple enough, Rhodes will simplify it.
.
Generally speaking, it is as simple as grabbing the ball and throwing it into the opponent's goal. Regardless of any means or tactics, as long as you throw the ball into the opponent's goal, you will win. It is equivalent to a large arena, except that the gladiators inside
When it comes to players, they have no weapons. They can only fight with bare hands and grab the ball like mad dogs. Even if they cause a group fight to fight for the ball, it is okay. The Norscans like such hot scenes, and the feeling of punching to the flesh is
The most comfortable.
As soon as the Dongquan River Floating Bridge was completed, Rhodes transferred the engineering team to the old city. A piece of land was designated on the outskirts of the old city for the construction of a rugby field. The location of the field only needed to have lawn, but it was just a waste of time.
Germany's requirement is that the auditorium must be at least three stories high and must accommodate at least 2,000 people watching the game at the same time.
This standard is actually a bit advanced. According to Muros' previous statistics, the current total population of Blackhammer Castle including refugees is only more than 4,200 people. A stadium that can accommodate 2,000 people can almost satisfy 30,000 people.
The size of the city. After all, not everyone likes to watch football, and not everyone has time to watch football. One-tenth of the people watching football in the stadium is already a lot. The Colosseum in ancient Rome claims to be able to accommodate
Eighty thousand people watched the game at the same time. However, the city of Rome at its peak had only one million people. Even if the entire Colosseum was packed, only one-tenth of the city's people were watching the game.
Rhodes planned this way for the rapid development of Blackhammer Castle in the future. After all, he had plenty of funds on hand and a lot of land, so it all depended on how and where to invest.
Therefore, Rhodes chose to locate the stadium on the outskirts of the old city. In the future, the construction of the new city will choose to be developed in the lower reaches of the Dongquan River and toward the seaside. Choosing the stadium to be built between the old and new cities can serve the public most effectively.
It's just that the workload of a stadium that can accommodate 2,000 people is really huge. Fortunately, manpower has never been a problem. As this wave of refugees continues to be arranged, the efficiency of the logging team will double. Although the quarry does not exist in Blackhammer Castle, Caroline
There is a quarry that has been operating for many years in his territory, so he can just import stones from his wife's territory.
The trade road between Blackhammer Castle and Heidelberg has never been so busy. If something happens to Caroline, Rhodes will rush there immediately. After the military road is built, it will only take a day's journey between the two places, so commuting is not a problem.
.As the saying goes, a break is better than a new marriage. Sometimes it is better to meet intermittently than to stay together all day long...
However, just when everything was about to get on track, a piece of news from the Iron Ring Castle made Rhodes unable to sleep again. The witch hunter Diego sent a letter. In the past two months, he had infiltrated the Iron Ring Castle.
There is evidence that the Iron Ring Castle has been corrupted by Chaos, but this evidence must be dug out to find out. The followers of Slaanesh built an altar in the deepest part of the Iron Ring Castle, performed mysterious sacrificial rituals inside, and tried to open the portal. In addition,
, Diego also discovered the whereabouts of Alves. Just as Rhodes had guessed before, the little dwarf was locked up and locked up in the Iron Ring Castle dungeon.
The financial officer's advice was finally ignored as nonsense, and that loser Dean even sent his uncle to the dungeon frantically, giving him only the worst food and dirty water every day. According to Diego,
It was leftover food for the dog, but it was delivered to Alves' prison. Rhodes was worried whether his old friend could survive until he came to the rescue. In addition, the portal made Rhodes worried.
The power of Chaos is very terrifying. If these Slaanesh followers summon some great demon, even if the entire Northern Territory unites, they will not be able to deal with it.
The problem is that the evidence that the Iron Ring Castle has been corrupted by Chaos is still hidden underground. If other lords are called on to lead troops to crusade, no one would dare to take action without conclusive evidence. Count on the Snow Queen Katarina? Let alone.
After many considerations, Rhodes decided to take another risk and lead a small number of elites to the Iron Ring Castle in the name of visiting old friends to rescue Alvis. If possible, kill the Slaanesh believers in the Iron Ring Castle from within and destroy the portal.
At the same time, let Celta and Caroline assemble their troops and be on standby at any time. Once the situation changes, attack the city directly regardless of the situation.
