Mount & Blade: Wind of War

Winter, early morning.

Near the river beside Redwood Town, a group of farmers, led by the white-haired elder Enge, held up pitchforks and wooden sticks to confront the wilderness bandits in front of them.

Although the farmers were more numerous in number, many people's hands were shaking uncontrollably when facing the horse thieves armed with sharp weapons.

As time goes by, the cold fog on the surface of the river disperses, and the increasingly heavy pressure on the scene becomes more terrifying. If this continues, a large number of farmers will even lose the courage to fight. They are poor and weak, and many of them are not even physically strong enough to sustain a prolonged confrontation.

Elder Enge obviously noticed this, so he hesitated whether to take the initiative to attack. No matter what the outcome is, it's better than being dragged down directly.

"Old guy, we don't want to waste our efforts in vain." At this moment, suddenly, such a voice appeared among the wilderness thieves.

Immediately afterwards, two knife-wielding thieves rode out of the way, revealing an old thief with gray hair and several knife marks on his cheeks at the center of the group.

Although he was old, he was obviously the leader of the group. The knife marks on his cheeks showed that he had experienced at least several near-death battles and managed to survive until the end.

At this moment, the old thief held the reins of the horse with one hand and rode forward. He gently patted Enge's cheek in front of him with the knife in his hand, and said again:

"My name is Yuge, and I am somewhat famous among adventurers in this area."

"Our people will stay here for two days and make your mud-legged people be more honest. We will leave after two days without harming anyone. But if you dare to play any tricks, I guarantee that all of you here will All will die."

"Of course, distinguished Mr. Adventurer." Enge hurriedly responded after hearing the words, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Then, he ordered the young people around him to run over, pick up the women on the edge of the river, and merge the two separated groups into one place.

"Grandpa, we don't have much to eat, why do we have to share it with them?" Kress felt sorry for his cabbage roots and black bread. Bakeries in villages and towns have been built during this time, and they are made in his own mill. There are very few black bread, broken stones and wood chips. Kress loves to eat them so much, how can he be willing to give them to some outsiders?

"Silly boy, those people don't eat wild vegetables and black bread. Do you have the key to the locker? Go and take out the stuffed sausages and the freshly ground white bread."

"That's for the master!" Hearing this, Kress jumped up and down like a kitten with explosive hair, and started shouting.

"Oh, obedient, obedient, if the master comes back and sees the village destroyed, he will be even more sad."

Seeing his granddaughter Kress so angry that tears welled up in her eyes, Elder Enge, who always doted on his little granddaughter, was helpless. After he finished explaining Kress, he hurriedly went to find the woman who was best at cooking beans. Woman: White bread, sausages filled with oil and boiled beans, this is the best food that the entire Redwood Town can offer.

However, this thing obviously cannot satisfy the thieves.

Bang bang bang bang, Elder Enge was slapped several times in the lord's mansion in Redwood Town, but Redwood Town really couldn't produce anything else. In order to save food, the farmers here even gave up poultry and livestock. Without feeding, even they themselves could barely survive, and there would be no food left to feed their poultry and livestock.

"Okay, this poor place can't bring out anything more. It's useless for you to force him. Old guy, go down."

Finally, it was the gray-haired old thief Yug who spoke again.

After hearing this, Elder Enge wanted to stay in the room and watch, but he had to retreat. At this time, there were only a few women serving soup in the room, including of course the skinny little Kress.

Originally she didn't have to come in, but out of some unknown emotion, Kress quietly took away the most cowardly of the women and put herself in.

"Damn, this battle was really miserable. When I saw those heavily armored ogres, I thought this battle was definitely won. I was just waiting to rush in and kill people, steal money, and women. But I really didn’t expect that the strange crossbowmen unit in Yinshuang Town was so powerful. I just heard the bang bang bang bang sound, and then the brothers around me fell like wheat. It was really scary. "

"That's called the Musket Troop. I heard it's common in the west of the continent, but I've never heard it's so powerful. It was also organized by that Silver Frost Lord. However, compared to the Musketeer Troop, what makes me feel more terrifying is what's behind. The heavy armored cavalry unit that rushed out... I have never seen a cavalry with a full set of heavy armor that can run at that speed. The weight of the heavy armor is real, and the speed is also real. Every heavy armored knight's The combat power is comparable to that of an ogre warrior, and twenty knights teamed up to easily kill an entire ogre troop. This kind of strength is too terrifying. "

According to the perception of most wilderness thieves, the combat power of ogres is extremely terrifying. Unless human troops form a military formation, a single human cannot be an opponent of ogres.

"Yes, if there is no heavy armored cavalry, the ogre troops may not be able to break through the musketeers."

"He is also the king of thieves who organized this coalition. He is mentally ill. Why should we attack Yinshuang Town directly? Isn't it better to just burn, kill and loot all around?"

"Can someone with a mental disorder become the thief king? There must be something we don't know."

These thieves were eating while talking in a mess. They were all defeated soldiers in that war. They escaped the pursuit by luck and were now planning to escape into the wilderness again.

"Boss, looking at the situation in this village, it seems impossible to provide us with enough supplies in two days. What should we do?"

"...What else can we do? Aren't those women meat? Kill a few of them and take them away when we leave. Winter is coming soon, and it is getting harder and harder to find food in the plains. I can't let my brothers run with me on an empty stomach."

When Kress was serving soup to a thief, she passed close to Yug and heard these words clearly.

Although Yug had lowered his voice when talking with his confidant, Kress had a keen sense and outstanding hearing since he was a child, so even though he had lowered his voice, she still heard it.

"Damn you guys, we treated you with our best stuff, and you still planned to eat us, bastards, bastards!"

At this time, the voices behind her stopped. Although her hands were shaking with anger, Kress still controlled herself and worked for these thieves without any abnormality. Her behavior did not make people see the slightest abnormality, so Yuge looked away after watching for a while.
