Is this cheat code from Bika? Just do it!

Link stood on the battlefield, watching everything with a cold and unfeeling gaze.

He knew in his heart that if it weren't for Agnes and these Grek cavalry, he might have been manipulated like Liu Xie and died an unclear death.

In this cruel world, only by facing bloodshed and death can we win freedom and justice.

Under the overwhelming charge of Agnes and Grek's cavalry, the fifty-odd private soldiers Orlando brought were quickly reduced to cold corpses.

The rain intensified, with large raindrops pelting down like hailstones, washing away the blood on their armor and forming shocking, crimson streams in the streets.

"My lord! Orlando and all his private soldiers have been executed!"

Before long, Agnes came to Link and bowed respectfully.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the street, a group of soldiers were rushing over, led by a blonde, blue-eyed, and graceful female knight.

She is Lina, the captain of the Winter City Knights, a gold-level female swordsman.

In Link's memory, in the game's storyline, this Captain Lina did not betray him, but her ending was quite tragic. If he remembered correctly, she died during a monster siege.

5. His wife and daughters? Spoils of war!

Upon seeing Orlando's body, Lina seemed to instantly understand the whole story.

Indeed, as the legion commander in charge of Winterfell's military forces, it was impossible for her to be completely unaware of Orlando's misdeeds in private.

She walked straight to Link, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully, "Lord of the City, Lina is late, please forgive me!"

Link glanced at her but did not respond immediately. Instead, he turned his gaze to Agnes beside him.

Agnes stood quietly beside Link, like a silent and steadfast guardian.

The Gryphon cavalry were the same; they stood ramrod straight beside Link, like statues cast in steel, silently awaiting Link's orders.

At this moment, no one dared to underestimate this city lord who was covered in blood.

The soldiers behind Lina, who had once harbored doubts about him and thought he was just a carefree spoiled brat who had merely inherited the old lord's legacy, now looked at him with awe.

In this cruel world, strength and courage are the only passports to earning respect.

"What's the casualty situation?" Link asked softly under the rain.

"Lord Link, in this battle, our side suffered a total of four dead and fourteen wounded, some lightly and some seriously!"

Agnes responded quickly.

Where there is war, there is death. It's normal for the Grek cavalry to suffer casualties, given that they were charging at the forefront.

In fact, considering the fierce battle between the two armies in this not-so-wide street, the casualties were already quite severe.

Link frowned slightly and remained silent for a while.

Finally, he sighed deeply and said slowly, "Those who have died in battle must be given a proper burial! Those who are wounded must receive the best treatment. If anyone is disabled as a result of the battle, causing inconvenience in their future life, tell them that I will find them a decent job so that they can live a life free from worries about food and clothing!"

In this world, the dead cannot be brought back to life; sacrifice is the true end.

What Link could do was make everyone present feel his care and responsibility.

“Yes!” Agnes bowed her head and replied respectfully.

After dealing with this matter, Link finally approached Lina.

Link drew his blood-stained knight's sword from his waist and, under the soldiers' apprehensive gazes, gently placed it on Lina's shoulder.

“Swear allegiance to me, or die here.”

Link gave his choice.

The cold words, coupled with Agnes's chilling gaze, sent shivers down Lina's spine.

Today's Link felt completely different to her than before.

Not only does it harbor such an elite cavalry force, but it also has such a powerful figure protecting it closely.

Could it be that this city lord has been playing dumb all along, waiting for the likes of Orlando to jump out on their own, and then reaping the benefits together?

Lina had no doubt that the city lord would kill her if she refused, given the overwhelming sense of oppression he exuded!

"Lord Link, from this day forward, Lina is willing to become your guardian knight, fighting for you on the battlefield and achieving great deeds!"

Lina said without hesitation.

She was truly afraid that if she hesitated even slightly, she would lose her life.

"I am willing to fight for you on the battlefield and achieve great things!"

Under the pounding of the cold rain, the soldiers behind Lina also knelt on one knee, swearing their allegiance to Link.

"Very good! Now, Captain Lina, go and bring Orlando's family to me. As for all of Orlando's property and assets, confiscate them all. I'll be waiting for your good news in the city lord's mansion. Don't disappoint me."

"Yes! Your lord!"

Lina quickly lowered her head, and only stood up after Link and the cavalry had walked far away.

"Seize all of Minister Orlando's properties! Arrest Olivia and Isabel with all your might!"

"Yes!"

......

After returning to the city lord's mansion, Link set about settling the Grek cavalry.

He arranged for everyone to be placed in the barracks closest to the city lord's mansion, and all their treatment was carried out according to the standards of the lord's personal guards, ensuring that these cavalrymen felt sufficiently valued and treated well.

As for Agnes, Link didn't hesitate at all, immediately giving her the second bedroom next to his own.

In Link's mind, Agnes was exceptionally strong. Link estimated that Agnes's combat power was at least comparable to that of a late-stage hero.

Such formidable strength is undoubtedly a trump card for survival. Having her by his side to protect him at all times is the only way he can feel at ease.

After all, you only have one life.

Link had considered sending Agnes directly to assassinate the early-stage heroes, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

The current heroes haven't been selected yet; in the game terms, that means the players haven't created their accounts yet.

Too much uncertainty means that if something unexpected happens, it's easy to lose everything and end up in a bad situation.

After arranging accommodations for everyone, Link summoned the maids from the city lord's mansion to prepare them for a proper bath.

He soaked in the warm bath, feeling the maid gently massaging his shoulders and back, and closed his eyes contentedly, his thoughts drifting away.

The general worldview of this world is quite similar to that of Warcraft, which he played in his previous life. The level of civilization is roughly in the medieval stage, but there are many things that are different from the normal medieval era.

For example, martial arts and magic.

The author says:

Author's Note: PS: Olivia and Isabel are from the game *Hypnotic Nobles*.

6. Stubbornness? That only fuels my desire to conquer!

Although martial arts and magic exist on this continent, only a very small number of people can truly master these two abilities.

Those who can learn magic are as rare as priceless treasures.

In his memory, the level system in the action-adventure game "Statila Continent" was extremely simple, starting from level 1 and going up to the maximum level of 100, with no special titles such as "Golden Knight".

However, reality is different from the game.

Frank, who was killed by Agnes with an axe, and Lina, the leader of the Knights, had both reached the level of Gold Knight.

This shows that the level system differs from that in the game, and he needs to learn more about this.

Let my thoughts drift back to Winterfell.

In the game's setting, this northern fortress has always shouldered the heavy responsibility of resisting monsters and demons.

The Stark family understood the importance of the military and always regarded cultivating a powerful army as a top priority.

After all, on the battlefield, the strength of an army often determines the outcome of the war, and a powerful army is undoubtedly the cornerstone of victory.

However, in Link's view, Winterfell has overemphasized military development while neglecting basic infrastructure and public welfare to some extent.

Winterfell is located in the North, where the land is barren and the climate is cold, making it very difficult for crops to grow.

The people's lives are not prosperous, and this is by no means a long-term solution.

As the ancient saying goes, "Extravagance knows no bounds, and wars are waged to the extreme, leaving the people destitute and exhausted."

If this continues, Winterfell will inevitably suffer the consequences.

Imagine if the people of Winterfell lived a life of bitterness and happiness. When the monster horde surged, or even when the demon race invaded in the future, most of them would not hesitate to flee with their families, rather than resolutely stay and live or die with Winterfell.

After all, whether people are on your side or not often depends on their life circumstances.

Only when the people feel a sense of security and happiness in this city, and develop a strong sense of belonging, can Winterfell gather the strength of its people and become more and more indestructible, powerful and prosperous amidst the storms of life.

In light of this, Link felt that Winterfell needed reform, and while strengthening its military, it was also essential to improve the lives of its residents.

He thought of the truckload of potatoes he had won earlier, which could be distributed to the people to grow.

It is now late summer and early autumn, and there is still plenty of time. If we can gather stronger forces before the winter beast tide arrives, we will be better able to resist these future disasters.

"Sir, the water temperature isn't quite right. Would you like some more hot water?"

The maid's voice rang in Link's ears, interrupting his thoughts.

"No need, just wipe me clean and then bring me my clothes."

"Okay sir."

As Link stood up from the bathtub, his thick, massive member swaying between his legs, the young maid blushed shyly and left the room to fetch him clothes.

In the quiet study of the city lord's mansion, the flickering candlelight casts shadowy reflections on the surrounding scrolls and ancient books.

Link sat upright behind his desk, holding a freshly brewed cup of coffee in his hand. The steam rose gently, meeting his focused gaze.

He would sometimes take a sip, and sometimes scribble furiously on paper, recording the thoughts and plans that kept flowing through his mind.

Not long after, the study door was gently pushed open, and Lina and several soldiers escorted two stunningly beautiful women into the room.

One of them was exceptionally elegant, exuding a mature charm with every glance; the other was pure and lovely, with a touch of naivety in her eyes.

Their hands were bound behind their backs, and they staggered, clearly having gone through some hardships.

"Your Majesty!"

With a sharp shout, Lina used her hands to forcefully push the two women to the ground.

Then, she knelt on one knee, facing Link, her voice steady and respectful: "Lord Link, I have not failed you! These two are Orlando's wife, Olivia, and daughter, Isabel. When we pursued them, they were preparing to escape Winterfell by carriage. As for the other people in Orlando's household, including maids and servants, they have all been executed."

Upon hearing this, Link gently put down his coffee cup, his gaze deep.

It must be said that Lina did a great job. Apart from the mother and daughter, she dealt with everyone else cleanly and efficiently, preventing any future troubles.

"What about those properties in Orlando? How are they being handled?"

Lina lowered her head slightly, her tone tinged with apology: "My lord, Orlando's assets are vast, and the inventory work is still in progress. I humbly request that you grant us some more time so that we can thoroughly investigate the matter."

Link nodded slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips: "Hmm, you did a good job. However, the assets must be inventoried by today, and I need to see a detailed list report before dinner."

"Yes, my lord."

Lina accepted the order and respectfully withdrew. The soldiers escorting her also filed out, and the study returned to silence.

Link slowly stood up, walked around the desk, and steadily approached Olivia and Isabel.

His gaze swept over their faces, first grabbing Olivia's chin and scrutinizing her closely, then turning to Isabel and examining her with the same scrutinizing eyes.

“The rumors are indeed true. Everyone says that Orlando’s wife is stunningly beautiful; his daughter, Isabel, is also pure and ethereal, with extraordinary beauty.” Link’s voice carried a hint of amusement.

Upon hearing this, Olivia's beautiful eyes widened in fury. She struggled fiercely, trying to break free of her restraints, but could only let out muffled groans.

"Oh? That look in your eyes is quite stubborn."
