Mount & Blade: Wind of War

[Experience +12]

He stabbed a frost spider in the head with a sword, and then he lifted it up and threw it to the side, knocking down another frost spider that was rushing towards him.

Huge spiders kept coming from all directions. Ordinary people would feel weak in their legs and lose their courage just by seeing this scene.

However, the elites selected by Rhodes this time were trained in more brutal battlefields. As long as they overcame the fear in their hearts, these big spiders were not as powerful as the Centaur coalition.

At this time, Rhodes had activated his fanaticism. His offensive and defensive movements were smooth, swift and sharp. Although each movement was only slightly faster than other warriors, it was nearly twice as fast as the other warriors overall.

The reason why Rhodes fought desperately at this moment was to cover Fatis behind him.

Although wearing steel armor, Fatis's armor was still bitten by the fangs of the frost poisonous spider ancestor. At this moment, the man covered his shoulders, his cheeks were green, and frost spread between his mouth and nose: If Fatis died here, Rhode would definitely kill Caitlin to pay for his life, but not at this moment, now is not the time for internal strife.

Rhode led the way, and his loyal subordinates around him certainly tried their best to protect him. Cress supported Fatis and fed him a medicine bag containing detoxifying herbs.

For going out on an expedition, Rhode prepared healing potions and detoxification potions, but there was no skilled pharmacist in the mountain fortress now, so the effect of the potion that could be prepared was a question mark.

Two dark swordsmen Yannick and Remo Mike, two teenagers led four dark warrior teenagers to resist in the front. While killing the frost spiders, they protected the safety of the two Haidam swordsmen, allowing them to swing their swords with minimal interference.

A single-handed sword may not be able to kill a frost spider with one strike, but a two-handed sword can definitely kill one or even several frost spiders with one strike, but its own defense will be somewhat lacking.

In this situation where there are enemies on all sides, the four level 5 Rhodok sharpshooters have no chance to use heavy crossbows, but the level 5 Rhodok sharpshooters have strong melee ability, which is not a crossbowman feature but a "Rhodok" feature.

This system of soldiers is like this. When the crossbowman is upgraded to a high level, the long-range ability is outstanding, and the melee ability is almost as good as other infantry of the same level. With only one salary, it can do two jobs well.

The little girl Kress has a strong burst ability, but her sustained combat ability is not strong. She can't even throw all twelve bloodthirsty javelins, and her physical energy is mostly consumed.

At this moment, one hand draws out a slender scimitar for defense, and the other hand supports the teacher Fatis to fight and retreat.

"Remo, Yannick, cover me!"

"Cress, put this on Fatis."

With two dark swordsmen blocking in front of him, Rhodes tore off the four-leaf clover necklace from his neck in a hurry and threw it to Cress behind him.

Cress quickly put the necklace on Fatis' neck. Although she didn't quite understand why, it was obvious that after wearing the necklace, Teacher Fatis's face gradually improved a lot.

At this time, the undead witch Caitlin, who had always been protected by everyone, finally completed her spell. As her left hand slowly swung forward and sprinkled, there seemed to be some dark aura powder in the void that sprinkled on the group of frost poisonous spiders behind:

Crazy curse, which makes the target troops fall into a state of madness, uncontrolled and automatically attacking the nearest combat unit, regardless of friend or foe. The target's attack power is increased and its defense power is reduced. It can be used on its own troops, but it is ineffective against undead, elemental, and puppet creatures.

Many people don't like mages, but power is objective, and spellcasters never exist in this world by relying on others' likes. In fact, most spellcasters are terrifying.

Under the attack of the mad curse, many frost spiders within the range of the spell went crazy. They attacked and bit their companions around them with crazy attacks. Frost spiders don't understand magic, and don't have enough rational self-control, so they will naturally fight back when attacked, causing the chain to spread chaos.

In fact, let alone beasts, even the troops of intelligent races find it difficult to react in a short time and make the most correct response: stay calm, hold on, and wait for the magic effect to end and the friendly forces to regain their sanity. Because, preserving oneself is the instinct of living things.

"Psychic Storm!"

Rhodes pointed at the frost spiders in chaos with his hand, and the lavender metal ring on his left hand flashed with brilliance. An invisible and substantial force field spread out, which can reduce the morale of intelligent races by 20, and reduce it by 30 in combination. What's more, for beasts, the mental defense of spiders is definitely not as strong as that of centaurs.

Under the effects of the two magics of Madness Curse and Psychic Storm, the pursuit of the frost spider group was no longer so relentless, but became sparse and loose.

When Rhode led his personal guards to snipe the harpy witch Magna, Magna and her army were not in their prime. Not only was Magna herself seriously injured, but even the magic equipment on her body had not yet passed the recharge time.

Otherwise, with "Summoning Venomous Bees" superimposed on "Rotting Curse" superimposed on "Painful Torture" superimposed on "Sorrowful" and superimposed on "Psychic Storm", ordinary low-level troops basically had no morale that would not collapse. Of course, when encountering high-level troops, the resistance to these methods would be greatly improved.

Just like the passive effect of the Will Obliteration Ring -10 morale, and the active skill Psychic Storm -20 morale, the equipment and magic still have this effect, but when encountering a high-level army, the opponent's general skills and magic resistance will be subtracted, and the effect will not be as good as when used against a low-level army.

The sixteen people fought and retreated, constantly resisting the attack of the frost spiders. Finally, when they retreated to an underground slope and the exit of the underground waterfall, the frost spiders finally stopped chasing. This seemed to be too far away from their territory, so they bared their teeth and spit venom at Rhodes and others to drive them away, but no longer chased and attacked.

"Huh, it's finally over for the time being."

Following the slope, everyone helped each other down and came to the side of an underground pool.

In the previous battle, all the burning torches were either extinguished or thrown out. Therefore, at this moment, it was dark all around, and Cress took out the flint and the torches carried by the soldiers.

After two "dang-dang" sounds, Flint lit the torch. Then, everyone saw a huge black bear wearing armor lying on the edge of the underground pool, looking at them curiously.
