Mount & Blade: Wind of War

"Master!"

Before the griffins in the air had completely fallen, a figure jumped down from one of the griffins.

Orange-red hair, blue-gray eyes. When she saw the man, her whole body burst into a radiant spirit.

Cress threw herself into Rhodes' arms. These few months were the longest time since she and the master met.

So the little girl hugged and nudged him, and was very intimate.

However, after a while, Cress found that there seemed to be something "between" her and the master. She lowered her head and saw a girl with long golden hair and a small meat bun glaring at her angrily.

The most outrageous thing was that she did not let go of the hand holding the master in this situation.

"Master, who is this thing?" Cress took two steps back and asked angrily.

"How dare you call Her Royal Highness the Princess like this!" The court knight Katie next to her was unhappy about this and drew her sword suddenly.

But she seemed to have forgotten whose territory this was. As Rhode watched, Resarit and Airen on the side pressed their swords, Janis, Caitlin and others looked at Katie with obvious threats, and the soldiers around them moved forward.

Seeing this, Katie swallowed her saliva, hesitated for a moment, and chose to retreat tactfully.

"Cress, this is the princess of the Styak Empire. Her name is... Anna. You should get along well and don't bully her."

"Oh."

Cress had a very serious hierarchy of superiors and subordinates in her mind, but she knew clearly what kind of status the princess of the Styak Empire had.

"But this is the sphere of influence of the Lonely Mountain Castle in the Wilderness. Even if you are a princess..."

"Cress, why are you still in a daze? Come in quickly and tell me what the situation is like in Fatis."

In this era, communication and battlefield positioning are very difficult.

Even with the air knights, they were still connected, but Rhodes and Fatis could only relatively know each other's position and could not keep in touch and cooperate at all times.

Even this encounter with Kress was unexpected.

"I found Sister Likia's golden eagle when I was scouting, so I knew you were nearby, but it took two days to find you."

"After receiving your letter and discovering that there was a change in the City of Sin, General Fatis immediately retreated secretly and plotted against the opponent in the process... But the City of Sin had too many troops, so we fought and retreated, and only came here recently."

Kress marked a point on the marching map, roughly letting everyone in the military tent know the location of Fatis's army.

"How many people has Fatis lost since the battle?"

"More than 100 people died in the battle, and more than 300 people were injured. Master, the number of enemies is more than five times ours, and they also have very strange abilities." Kress couldn't help but defend his teacher.

But even so, there was still a burst of gasps in the military tent.

More than 400 people were killed and wounded. This was already a heavy blow to the Lonely Mountain Castle. The army led by Fatis had only more than 2,500 people in total, including hired farmers.

"So, the army of the City of Sin is also very close to us?"

"In the last blocking battle, the army of the City of Sin was ambushed by Teacher Fatis, and at least 2,000 people were killed and wounded. They dare not bite too hard for the time being." Facing Rhode's question, Cress answered.

"Well, with Fatis's talent and calmness, I believe that others can't play a better record."

Rhode's words made Resarit and Airen in the tent change their faces. As knights, no one wants to be inferior to the monarch they are loyal to forever.

However, Fatis's personal strength, character, talent, and qualifications are impeccable, so even if these two people are dissatisfied, they can't say anything for the time being. After all, the one in front of them is not a person who listens to one side and believes in one side.

"The demon army is here, the bandits of the City of Sin are here, and the army led by Fatis is here. So, can we find an opportunity to drive away the demon army and let them fight the bandits, or unite with Fatis's army and concentrate superior forces to get rid of the demon army first?"

"Master, the bandits of the City of Sin are divided into two groups, one led by Rogers and the other led by Narfu. These two people are both Konstart's confidants. One of them leads a 7,000-man army and the other leads a 5,000-man army. Nearly 4,000 people were defeated and dispersed by us during this period. It should be here, and here."

"Isn't it right? Cress, we have repeatedly calculated the food in the City of Sin, and it seems that it is not enough to support them to lead so many people to attack you. The logistics supply cannot afford it."

At this time, Aileyen stepped forward and said something.

Although it was not said explicitly, it vaguely hinted that Cress lied about her performance.

"The food in the City of Sin is indeed insufficient. We once rushed into their camp and found that they now eat all kinds of meat... including humans."

"Purgatory transformation phenomenon..."

Rod sighed in his heart. He knew about this phenomenon.

After the intelligent race undergoes the purgatory transformation due to various reasons, their own strength increases, and their bestiality and murderous intent will be greatly increased. Most people cannot suppress it with their own humanity. Those who can suppress it are at least elite units if they are not heroes.

For most ordinary humans, it only takes a short period of time after the purgatory transformation for their moral humanity to collapse to an unimaginable degree. If they are thrown into the extremely cruel battlefield, what will happen is completely predictable.

Before breaking through a certain extraordinary limit, the hero's characteristics are only four or five at most, and four can also be broken through. Most heroes break through with four hero characteristics.

For a mortal to condense five hero characteristics, it takes some rare opportunities.

Rhodes's current subordinates, Fatis, Resarit, and Airen are all powerful heroes with four characteristics, and Rhodes himself is also a hero with three characteristics: fanaticism, tenacity, and giant power.

Although the cost of Purgatory Transformation is huge, it can give the transformer a "Hellfire" characteristic. This characteristic alone caused the offensive and defensive situation of the sin city Constat to change, causing the combat effectiveness of the thieves group to rise abnormally.

"Although Purgatory Transformation is dangerous, it is not completely uncontrollable. When my power grows to a relative limit..." At a certain moment in the military tent, this thought suddenly flashed through Rhode's mind.
