Mount & Blade: Wind of War

"Sir, the Golden Eagle has detected that a large number of hell corps is approaching us from behind!"

"Sir, Knight Airen reports to you that an unknown number of hell corps has been found in front of us."

Good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone!

After listening to the reports from the cavalry scout and the elf girl Likia Qiusha, this thought naturally flashed through Rhodes' mind.

"Qiusha, how many hell corps are there in the rear? Didn't they encounter the sheep tribe we let go first?"

"There are about 500 people. I don't know much about military affairs, so I can only roughly see the number through spell connection, which is not very accurate. But I can be sure that the hell corps chasing from behind is very fast, and they will engage in battle with us in two days or even one day at most."

Rhodes didn't say anything more at this time, but ordered the Vijia cavalry who came to convey the message to quickly take him to the front line to observe and collect intelligence on the hell corps in front.

The lower plane hell clan, because this force has not experienced the decline of magic power, coupled with the cruel living environment, its combat effectiveness is very terrifying.

Although his own army has certain attribute restraint, just like a cup of water cannot put out a fire, when the gap between the two sides is too large, attribute restraint is useless, and those who are going to die will still die.

But let alone the annihilation of the whole army, even the heavy loss of troops is unacceptable to Rhode now. The troops have been greatly lost before they even see the City of Sin, so what mission can be completed?

Small or even medium losses are already the limit that Rhode can accept. If it exceeds this limit, he will immediately give up this mission and take the soldiers and civilians of the Lonely Mountain Castle and the little princess Anna all the way to the capital of the Styak Empire. It is better to suffer for a few years than to perish together without any chance of winning.

Kick, kick, kick, as the horses galloped, they came to the high ground. Rhode held up a monocular and looked far away. The Hell Army in front was relatively close. When Rhode discovered them, they also discovered Rhode.

"Damn, it's not just a gathering of hell demons. There are demon generals. They act in an orderly manner, not just a pile of loose sand."

Although he didn't see the demon general riding a hell horse and wearing steel armor in the demon group in front of him, Rhode could still feel the existence of the demon general from the actions of the hell demons in front of him.

At the same time, looking at the front, the size of the hell army in front would not be less than 200 people.

"Qiu Sha, how far are we from Fatis now? If you use the golden eagle to send a message, how long will it take to go back and forth?"

"There is still a week away. If it doubles the time, it will take at least ten days!"

"In that case, it will be too late."

The speed of the golden eagle is already very fast. Even if Fatis leads the dark armored knights or Cress leads the griffin knights to come to support, they will not have the physical strength to continue fighting.

"Make use of the advantage of the Rhodok crossbowmen to hold the ground and hold out until the reinforcements arrive? Or launch a quick attack and never give the Hell Legion a chance to attack from both sides?"

Even Rhode was hesitant in this situation, because this situation is really rare. Although the plane of the entire Wilderness has sunk and many space cracks have been torn, it is still a low probability event to encounter two Hell Demon Generals at the same time. This time, Rhode can only be regarded as going out without checking the almanac, and Mercury is extremely retrograde.

Because the space crack is not large enough, it is difficult to accommodate too powerful beings to pass through, and the weaker lower plane creatures may also be directly lost in the space turbulence when shuttling.

The demon general has extraordinary power and can keep himself immortal, but the little demon, horned demon, enchantress, etc., entering the space crack is really a gamble of life. Either pass through directly or return directly to the Styx.

At the same time, after successfully crossing, the demon general has two paths to choose from. One is to directly summon hell creatures on the spot and reorganize the legion, just like the hell demon legion in front of Rhodes. Although there are many of them, the troops are more chaotic, and powerful troops like hell cavalry are basically impossible to obtain.

But there is another path to choose, that is, to recruit creatures from your own legion in hell regardless of cost and loss. In this way, it is basically a result of one death and one death. Even if it succeeds, it must be a heavy loss.

It is the demon general who is chasing Rhodes. If it had not obtained important information from another demon general Dilibu and accepted the revenge commission from the other party, this demon would not be so crazy and do this.

It is true that the huge benefits obtained after killing Rodhart, the lord of the Lonely Mountain Castle, are enough to cover his losses.

On the hillside, watching their lord fall into silence, the subordinates around them did not dare to speak rashly. At this time, if a wrong decision was made, no one knew how many people would die.

It is necessary to bear huge responsibilities and pressure, which is also the burden that people in power must bear. Most people are unwilling to take responsibility, but in fact, the greater the responsibility, the greater the power.

"Tell Resarit and Airen to prepare for battle. Tell Janice that her lizardmen must also join the battlefield. I give her the power to do everything she promised."

"Yes."

"As you command."

The subordinates around him quickly dispersed, and Rhodes stayed on the earth slope alone, watching everything below with a monocular telescope.

Through this short observation, he observed that the hell demon army below was not small in number, but there was still some sluggishness in its operation, which showed that the general did not know the soldiers, and the soldiers did not know the general. Such a newly formed ragtag army may not be able to perfectly exert the powerful combat power of hell creatures, because morale and mutual trust are insufficient.

"TM, in this case, let's make a quick attack, eat this army in front of us first, and then deal with the one chasing behind us."

"The combat power of this hell demon army cannot be fully exerted, but the killing experience gained after destroying it will not be reduced at all."

Muttering to himself, Rhodes turned and looked behind him, which was the direction of the enemy's attack mentioned by Likia Qiusha, but at this moment, even with a telescope, Rhodes could not see anything. But he still watched like this for a while, and then rode away from the earth slope.

This battle was an unexpected encounter. The demon general facing Rhode even wanted to avoid this battle, so he did not choose to take the initiative to attack. As a result, this human army chose to take the initiative to attack. There was no hesitation at all, and there was no fear in the face of the powerful hell army!
