Mount & Blade: Wind of War

The sky was dark and the earth was bloody red. The horses were trampling and galloping on it. Except for Airen and Raymond, the other dark armored cavalrymen following behind them were riding ordinary horses instead of hell horses.

Although Rhodes, who had the [Hell Flame Knight Fusion Blueprint], had been trying to make the dark armored cavalry a fusion type of soldiers in the past two years, this expectation had never been successful.

[Hell Flame Knight Fusion Blueprint] can combine the Flame Horned Demon with the hell horse to create a dark heavy cavalry with almost perfect performance in all aspects.

In theory, it makes no sense that the dark cavalry of a higher rank cannot do it. In theory, it can be done, but in practice, there are still many difficulties. It may be due to the difference between the two camps, so the fusion of arms is so difficult.

After the dark demons are promoted to dark warriors (first level, third level), and then promoted to dark destroyers (second level, sixth level), they have the potential to be promoted to third level, ninth level after being strengthened by the enlightenment array.

If they can be combined with hell horses, they can at least be promoted to a powerful fourth-level soldier, and they are also strategic elite cavalry units.

Although this research project is difficult to progress, Rhodes will not give up because of its huge strategic significance, and Lonely Mountain Castle cannot give up.

Compared with the innate magic races of the extraordinary era, humans are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of individual combat power (overall), but humans are originally a race that is good at relying on tools and external objects to win. If they are not talented, they can be supplemented with equipment.

Take the giant shield heavy infantry, medium armor swordsman troops, and medium armor longbowmen newly developed by Lonely Mountain Castle as an example.

The potential of ordinary human soldiers can only reach level one or two, but if the outstanding ones are selected, combined with the relatively advanced smelting technology and extraordinary craftsmanship of Lonely Mountain Castle, the so-called level three and level nine enhanced soldiers can be developed. Luxurious equipment, coupled with absolute advantages in quantity and tactics, will be even more powerful.

The smelting technology with dwarves as the main research force, the extraordinary craftsmanship based on the Holy Light Armor, combined with a large number of soldier selections and special training, this is why Lonely Mountain Castle can develop level three soldiers on its own.

Although they have some defects, if the commander is talented enough, they can even exert an overall combat power above the third level.

The so-called powerful force refers to the advantages in agriculture, commerce, industry, iron smelting, alchemy magic, animal husbandry, talent training and other aspects, so as to support more powerful arms and armies.

This time, Airen and Raymond came out with all 80 dark cavalrymen originally stationed in the Burning Castle, in addition to 40 medium-armored longbowmen, 20 giant shield heavy infantry, 60 medium-armored swordsmen, 20 priests, and two griffin knights.

Not only do they have to take back the stolen magic crystal mine, but the most important thing is that they cannot lose anything. If there is any loss under the absolute advantage of military strength, Airen and Raymond will not have the face to go back to see their own lords.

"The monsters in hell seem to be endless. When the lord conquered it before, we did send troops to garrison, but from time to time a large number of demons would appear to besiege us. If the brothers who were stationed there had not withdrawn first when they saw the situation was not right, they might have lost many people in battle." Yannick reported this way. Although he and Remo Mack were not promoted to elite templates as Rhode wished, they still accumulated merits and became the adjutant of the cavalry regiment.

Remo Mack was brave and Yannick was steady. They had served in the senior generals of Lonely Mountain Castle, such as Fatis, Resarit, and Airen.

"The environment in hell is unpredictable. No one can figure it out. Let's conquer the magic crystal mine and resume production first."

It is not difficult to conquer the magic crystal mine occupied by the little demons, because they are a large group when conquering, but once the magic crystal mine is conquered, they will kill each other without external enemies. In the end, only a small group of little demons will successfully occupy the magic crystal mine, and so on.

After obtaining intelligence reconnaissance from the Griffin Knight, Airen first ambushed sixty medium-armored swordsmen and eighty dark-armored cavalrymen, and then sent forty medium-armored longbowmen to long-rangely throw the little demons occupying the magic crystal mines. When these demons were enraged and rushed out, they only saw a small number of heavy infantry and medium-armored longbowmen. They had little brains and reason, so they howled and charged with the whole army, and then fell into a series of ambushes.

"Priest, prepare spells, act quickly, and release!"

"Cavalry listen to orders, charge with the whole army!"

Eighty dark-armored cavalrymen rumbled forward. Although it is difficult to upgrade the ranks of the second-level and later troops, especially the dark cavalry, two years have passed. After years of fighting in hell, most of them have been promoted to level eight or even level nine.

There is no need to use the terrible spells of the Curse Knights. Just relying on the basic attribute suppression, facing these low-level and high-level demons, it is basically a one-sided slaughter.

The hell demons have survived in extreme environments for more than ten years or even decades, and their own levels are often far higher than the ranks, but the combat power accumulated by them in hell for ten or twenty years may not be as good as the dark cavalry trained by Rhodes for one or two years. This is the difference between effective training and ineffective training.

"Priest, prepare spells, go all out, and release!"

"Middle-armor swordsmen, listen to the order, bravely, charge the whole army!"

With Airen's quality and the troops he led, fighting this kind of battle would be a one-sided massacre.

All he needed to pay attention to was to avoid any casualties. If he could not win a perfect victory, it would be a failure for him.

"Aileen, you continue to command. I will go down and help you watch." Raymond rode down and took down the longbow to shoot. The longbow in his hand was burning with raging fire. Every arrow shot out was terrifying. This was the flame fighting spirit that Raymond had cultivated so hard until now. He even realized the explosion method. When the arrow tip touched the blood, the whole arrow would explode, with terrifying lethality.

In addition, the quiver that Raymond carried was also magical. It was an ancient artifact that Rhodes, the lord of Lonely Mountain Castle, accidentally obtained two years ago. With the surging magic tide, it gradually revived its power. It was a magic quiver that could automatically recall arrows. It was given to Raymond by Rhodes. Since then, Raymond almost never left it.

The morale of the group of little demons completely collapsed under the continuous ambush and killing, but how could they escape?

Although these low-level demons ran at speeds close to those of war horses, they were still slower than war horses on relatively flat terrain.

In this battle, the total number of magic crystal mines in the Burning Castle increased by 1, and production was quickly restored with the help of the auxiliary soldiers.
