Mount & Blade: Wind of War

Lonely Mountain Castle, Wilderness Plain.

Lonely Mountain Castle is Lonely Mountain Castle, and Wilderness Plain is a large area. According to the map, if all of them are counted, there are about two million square kilometers of land, which is a large area enough to establish a country.

Of course, Wilderness Plain has experienced the ravages of ancient wars and the land is barren, especially recently it has experienced the destruction of the power of the Hell Furnace, and the lower planes in the area are full of cracks.

Although Lonely Mountain Castle has the Silver Holy Grail, which constantly gathers the power of order to repair this damaged world, it is easy to destroy and difficult to build, and this repair will take a long time.

Even if those lower-level creatures who sneaked in will instinctively avoid the territory of Lonely Mountain Castle, because they hate the power of order condensed and spread by the Silver Holy Grail, but as a local lord, Rhodes will still lead troops regularly to clear out the purgatory creatures in the surrounding area.

On the one hand, it is to ensure the trade environment, and on the other hand, it is also for training.

Fatis, Raymond, Kress, Mad, Suxiu, Yannick, Remo Mac, Airen, Resarit, and even Atiman would occasionally lead troops out for clearing.

Because of the need to train soldiers, the soldiers they led out would certainly not be the top soldiers of Lonely Mountain Castle. If they led an immature team out to clear the hell demon army, there would be a chance of death and injury.

Among the senior knights of Lonely Mountain Castle, Fatis and the gradually growing Kress were the most reassuring. They would basically not suffer any losses when leading troops out, unless they encountered extremely special unexpected situations, but such unexpected situations were not easy to encounter.

Mad, Suxiu, Yannick, Remo Mac, and others, because of insufficient authority, often served as adjutants, or led fewer troops and were close to the city, so they generally would not be in trouble.

The people who made Rhode feel the most anxious were Raymond, Airen, Resarit, and Atiman, who led the troops. Atiman had read several military theory books, but his command level could only be described as mediocre. Fortunately, he always carried a Hellfire Crossbow with him, which provided a certain guarantee with its powerful long-range attack power.

Resarit read too many military theory books, which led to rigid thinking. Normally, he was fine, but once he encountered an emergency, he would panic.

Airen was too proud and overconfident about his own strength, especially after becoming a transcendent. He devoted less and less energy to the field of military command. However, there was one advantage to this, that is, the people below saw that the commander was brave in battle and led the troops in every battle, which had a certain effect on morale.

As for Raymond… this guy gets sleepy when he reads military books, and gets excited when he goes to the battlefield. However, he only cares about his own shooting pleasure with a bow, regardless of the life and death of the troops. It is still okay to fight a small-scale melee with a small number of people. Once the number of legion members exceeds 50, he may only bring back half of the people if he is asked to lead an army by himself.

But Rhodes still wants to train Raymond, so he has no choice but to lead the team himself, with Raymond as his adjutant, and clear out the small groups of hell demons within the range with Lonely Mountain Castle as the center.

"What should I do if my generals can't continue to study? Then teach them on the battlefield. The more you teach, the more practical experience you have, and in the end, you will reach the same goal by different paths."

From ancient times to the present, it is important to learn first and then practice. First learn from books, deduce in your mind, and then actually operate. The skills gradually fall on you, but in fact, for some people who are not good at learning, it is also possible to operate directly, but the cost is too high and it is not suitable for widespread promotion.

Chasing the Hell Demon Army, a small-scale battle:

After using the Griffin Knights to scout the Hell Demon Army, Rhodes first used the twenty-man Vigia Cavalry to flank and drive them away.

Note: Vigia Cavalry is the front-end of the second-level sixth-level Giant Knights of the human race. The team led by Rhodes is mostly level three, four, and five.

The opponent is a nearly 100-unit Hell Demon with amazing explosive power. If the distance is too close, the Vigia Cavalry may even be chased and killed by the opponent. If the distance is too far and the number is too small, it will not be able to play the role of flanking and driving away.

So Rhodes ordered the cavalry to find branches to drag behind the horses, forming a smoke and dust of a large group of cavalry running.

"Master, isn't it said that the hell demons are crazy and brainless? Can they understand this strategy?"

"Raymond, to become an excellent general, you need not only self-confidence, but also full trust in your opponent and the command level of your opponent. A hell demon army of more than 100 units should already have an elite demon leader, and with the wisdom of elite demons, it can understand the smoke and dust formed by the large cavalry during the running process."

"Then, will it be smarter and see through your strategy, sir?" Cai Biduo said that many people like to argue more in areas they don't understand. Raymond is in this situation at this moment.

"If it is really smart enough, then it will never approach the Lonely Mountain Castle for a little blood food."

After observing the "large cavalry" that was flanking it, the demon army found that it could not escape at all. After consuming more and more, it decisively turned around and attacked the main camp of the human army in the Lonely Mountain Castle. It is hoped that before the cavalry launched an offensive, the combat power of the main camp of the human army can be eaten up.

"If it was really smart, it shouldn't have approached the Lonely Mountain Castle with such strength. If it was really stupid, it should have run away for its life at this moment and would not have fallen into the trap. It's a pity that it is this kind of half-beast and half-intelligent creature that appears so stupid."

The Hell Demon Army counterattacked, but the human army had already prepared for military defense.

Twenty Rhodok infantry crossbowmen, twenty medium-armored longbowmen, twenty Vigia cavalry, six light priests, and two griffin knights. The number of the human army is just a little more than half of the Hell Demon Army.

However, this army under Rhode's command is more than a little stronger in military prestige, morale, and discipline than the chaotic Hell Demon Army.

"Raymond, we only have eight priests, how should we choose the enhancement magic?" Obviously, they have entered a state of war. Riding on an armored warhorse, Rhode is still calm. He has truly faced the horror of life and death. This level of military oppression is certainly nothing to him.

"Give the longbowmen a last-ditch effort and the cavalry a quick move?" Raymond wanted to think about it, but the Hell Demon Army that was constantly approaching not far away made his heart beat fast, his palms sweat, and he became excited, so he blurted out this instinctively.

Hearing this, Rhodes shook his head gently.

"Give the last-ditch effort is a fourth-level magic. Some of the eight priests may not have learned it yet. After they complete the blessing for the twenty medium-armor longbowmen, I am afraid there is no extra mana at all. Moreover, the cavalry is charging from the side. At this distance, the priests cannot bless the cavalry with a quick move. The casting distance is too far."

"In this case, the extraordinary power should be given to the medium-armor longbowmen, and the tenacity should be given to the crossbowmen on the front line."

"It is destined to be a battle that consumes a lot of physical energy to fight against the Hell Demon Army that is nearly twice as large as their own with almost all crossbowmen. During the battle, whether the longbowmen are physically fit determines the strength of the attack. speed, the direction of victory or defeat of the battle. As the main combat force of the Lonely Mountain Castle, the Rhodok crossbowmen will not suffer too much even if they fight the enemy in close combat as infantry. Moreover, the extraordinary divine power is a second-level enhancement magic. After casting the spell, the mana consumption of the eight priests will not be very large. If you ask them to cast spells to enhance the front-line crossbowmen, they will have enough mana to do it. "

Some time ago, in the Secret Realm of Wind, Rhodes killed a legendary abyss eight-armed snake demon, and his own level was promoted to level 29. He has now begun to focus on strength attributes, and with the superposition of the giant power characteristic enhancement, his current strength attribute is 25, even if the fighting spirit realm is not taken into account, it is more than five times that of ordinary human males.

On the other hand, Rhodes' intelligence attribute is 30 points. Mortals can reach the peak of intelligence, which makes his observation and memory abilities particularly strong, but it is still not as good as those top wise men and strategists, because the difference between the two sides is not the difference in intelligence, but the difference in thinking.

However, for a pioneering lord, Rhodes' attributes are already perfect.

Among the creatures that have not broken through the limits of mortals, they are all considered to have strong attributes.

Considering that as his level increases, he has the continuous bonus of the system, Rhodes is not in a hurry to break through the fifth-level legendary realm for a while, because the stronger the foundation, the stronger the future breakthrough effect. The breakthrough of a dragon and the breakthrough of an ordinary human legend must have different effects.

Rhodes feels that his current physical fitness is still a little poor - compared with an adult dragon.

With Rhodes' teaching, Raymond seemed to have realized something. At the same time, the battle between the two human armies below the hillside began.

Although the command was almost not commanded by him, Raymond's hero characteristic "shooter command" effect still covered the entire field, and all 20 Rhodok shooters and 20 medium-armor longbowmen benefited from it.
