Mount & Blade: Wind of War

The human world and hell, the temple and the devil, the two forces collided and squeezed together, forming a chaotic battle.

The huge eagle spread its wings and soared high in the sky, its pupils flashing with golden light, looking down, all it could see was killing and death.

At this point in the fight, the formations of both sides had been scattered, fighting each other in a crisscross pattern. The difference was that the human temple had a certain order in the chaos due to its strong discipline.

The hell devils, whose internal running-in had not yet been completed, fully exerted their own magic and individual combat power, at least a considerable part of them had already done so.

A Rhodok crossbowman standing in the front row, at this moment, held a broad shield covering his entire body in his left hand and a short-handled military hammer in his right hand.

Although melee weapons are stronger as they are longer, weapons that are too long are difficult to control, just like Rhodes needs both hands to control the iron-ridged steel gun, while the short-handled military hammer can exert its full power with one hand.

Panting heavily, there were two demons in front of this warrior, one was a little demon and the other was a parasitic demon.

Just like humans are collectively called people, but they are different in height, weight, beauty, ugliness, and weirdness, so are little demons. The image of their race is a short humanoid creature with a dark body and a height only up to the waist of a normal human. The ears are pointed and long, and there is a small black horn above the ears. A long and smooth black tail grows on its buttocks, and the tip of the tail is in the shape of an arrow.

But some are strong, some are thin, some are fat, and some are relatively tall. Their combat effectiveness is also different.

Parasitic demons are the variant advanced form of little demons. Their bodies will be taller because of this advancement. A demon head will extend from the chest and abdomen of these demons.

Such demons will become dual-core life while their strength and speed are improved. If you only swing a hammer to smash the opponent's head, you can't kill the opponent, but can only seriously injure it. If you don't make up for it in time, you will be attacked fiercely by it the next moment.

That is to say, when facing parasitic demons, it is not enough to kill them once, but to kill them twice. In addition, some parasitic demons will also produce unique superpowers, but the number of such existences is rare, and the power of superpowers is often not too great.

In addition, the little devil has another advanced form, that is, the body grows into a state close to that of a human teenager, slightly shorter than an ordinary adult human, and still uses claws to fight. This is the growth stage form of the little devil (infant stage).

But in hell, most little devils will not choose this evolutionary route, because compared with the parasitic demon form, it takes longer to enter the growth stage, consumes more energy, and the combat power is not stronger than that of the parasitic demon, and the survival ability is much weaker. The most important point is that the growth stage little devil is larger and not easy to hide, and needs more food. This is a very fatal evolutionary defect in the environment of the lower plane hell.

The human warrior waved his shield to block the attack of the parasitic demon on the left, and swung the hammer in his right hand to directly blow the little devil who rushed over.

After making sure that the little demon had been killed, he focused on dealing with the more difficult parasitic demon, because this kind of monster had to be killed twice. He had seen many companions being attacked by the opponent because they relaxed their minds after killing once.

The human warrior who was promoted to the seventh-level Rhodok Light Guardian had a divine blessing, a stronger physique, and the attack was accompanied by the divine power feature, which allowed him to beat the parasitic demon in front of him to death with a steady and cautious mentality.

However, there seemed to be a flash of black shadow in front of him, and the next moment the warrior felt a pain in his waist, and then a huge sense of powerlessness surged up. The warrior fell to the ground and looked up to see a growing little demon in the form of a human teenager with a black body standing in front of him, putting his bloody claws in his mouth to suck and lick.

On the battlefield, there is no fixed number of your opponents, and any moment of relaxation will lead to your own death.

Just when this growing little demon was about to kill the human warrior, several light balls shot over from his side. These light balls made the little demon feel dangerous and disgusted, so he jumped back quickly and avoided these light balls.

However, these light balls also hit the fallen crossbowman one after another, about four or five in number.

Soldier skill 1: Healing. Cast on oneself, it can recover some injuries and restore some physical strength.

Although the skill says that it can be cast on oneself, it can actually be cast on others. This magical feature makes the already high-attack and strong-defense Rhodok high-level crossbowman become terrifying and improve his ability to continue fighting.

The effect of the healing spell allowed the human warrior's waist injury to heal quickly and his physical strength to recover. When the growing little demon wanted to kill again, he saw the human warrior who was already half-crouching. He felt a huge threat from the other party. Therefore, after a slight hesitation, the little demon dodged and jumped back into the chaotic battlefield and soon disappeared.

Healing magic has a healing effect on one's own people, but it has a similar effect to a sulfuric acid ball on the demons of hell. The warriors soon discovered that although this kind of damage is not fatal to the demons, they are extremely disgusted and afraid of it. They would rather endure the sword and knife than be hit by the healing light ball. Realizing this, the crossbowmen soon took advantage of it.

However, the holy power in each Rhodok Light Guardian is very limited. Basically, only one healing light ball can be sent out in a battle. The eighth-level Rhodok Light Guardian can send two to three, but unless necessary, they prefer to use it on themselves or their injured comrades rather than on the hell demons.

The Rhodok crossbowmen on the front line are fighting in close combat with shields and hammers, while the Rhodok crossbowmen in the rear, under the command of the commander Resarit, continue to pour attacks on the position of the Hell Demon Legion and the enchantress. The gap in long-range suppression between the two sides makes the enchantress of the Hell Demon Legion unable to raise her head at all.

The reason why Resarit can determine the position of the enchantress of the Hell Demon Legion is, on the one hand, because of the direction of the golden eagle above his head, and on the other hand, because he follows the instructions of Rhode, who always leads the cavalry in the front line.

Rhode is close enough to the enemy's rear battlefield and constantly organizes cavalry to attack. Naturally, he can get first-hand effective information and always lock the position of the enemy's long-range units and magic units.

In fact, contrary to popular belief, using crossbows to projectile in actual combat is a very wasteful behavior.

Longbow feather arrows are suitable for projectiles. This specific technique allows the feather arrows to fly farther, and then under the action of gravity, increase the damage and penetrate the enemy's armored defense. At this time, the feather arrows are shot from directly above the enemy, and can attack the enemy hiding in the bunker.

However, the crossbow is different from the bow. The crossbow reduces the difficulty of use, exchanges for simple operation, and also improves the aiming efficiency.

Since projectiles rely on the action of gravity, the short and light crossbow arrows cannot take advantage of this advantage at all, and projectiles are often long-range attacks. The crossbow is not only less powerful at long distances, but the short crossbow arrows cannot even maintain their accuracy during flight.

Therefore, crossbows can be projected, but they are not suitable for projectiles. For a wise commander, in emergency situations, crossbows can be projected densely to provide a short-term support advantage, but crossbows are a powerful flat-shooting weapon, and only flat-shooting can perfectly play its advantages.

The reason why Rhodes and Resarit let the Rhodok crossbowmen perform projectiles at this moment is that even if it is a waste, they cannot let the enemy's ranged and magic units do whatever they want without any consideration. Moreover, the average level of the Rhodok crossbowmen in the Lonely Mountain Castle at this moment is too high. Their excellent technology even allows them to rewrite the rule that crossbows are not suitable for projectiles.

Kick, kick, kick, the horses are running, and the cavalry are charging. After Rhodes determined that the enemy's ranged and magic units were suppressed by their own ranged units, he cut the little demon army formation more frequently.

The largest number of the hell demon army in front of him is the little demon and horned demon. Of course, these are also the two most common units in hell.

However, Rhodes does not fight with the horned demons. These hell muscle sticks have high attack, thick defense, and strong explosive power. Rhodes' two knights: Raymond and Airen have been blown away by the flame horned demon, but their disadvantage is that their mobility is particularly weak.

Although one of the advanced forms of the Horned Demon: the Howling Horned Demon made up for this defect, weakening the enemy's speed and increasing its own speed during the howling process, Rhode did not approach the Horned Demon Legion at all. He led 60 cavalrymen to wander around and repeatedly cut and destroy the Little Demon Legion.

The Horned Demon Legion chased for several rounds. Some Howling Horned Demons activated their skills and their speed increased for a short time, but they still could not catch up with the cavalry. After a few rounds, there were basically no Howling Horned Demons that had not activated their military skills.

Due to the lack of control over this legion, the demon general who frequently mobilized the Enchanter Legion did not realize that with the continuous containment of the human cavalry, his left wing Little Demon Legion and the Horned Demon Legion had gradually been led to a dangerous distance.

Then, it was the heavy cavalry charge!

The demon general wanted to kill as many lives and souls as possible, because his target could only be the crossbow troops in front of him. Therefore, the demon general almost ignored the losses of other arms, protected the long-range and magic units, and pressed the Hellhound Legion, which had the most powerful combat power under the effect of its own characteristics.

He hoped to use the death of other demon armies to consume the physical strength and morale of the human army, so as to obtain the greatest possible results.

However, Rhode's idea was to kill them with one strike, to completely defeat the demon army, and to achieve a great victory with minimal losses.
