Mount & Blade: Wind of War

"Got it. Order all knights and civilians to enter combat readiness. The rest is over."

No matter what mood he was in the previous moment, Rhode quickly gathered his mood, stood up, turned around and walked away.

However, before leaving the cathedral, he suddenly stopped, turned sideways and said to James:

"With the protection of the holy power, Mek's body will not decay in a short time. Keep her body for the time being. After this battle, I will come to bury her in person."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke."

James in the church saluted and responded. He was also a person with the quality of a famous general. As long as he was placed in the right position, he was also very capable of doing things.

The crazy attack of the ancient orc army outside the city was predictable.

The reason was simple. Their logistics were not enough to support them for a long rest. They could only take advantage of the soldiers' morale to recover slightly and launch another attack.

However, even if the logistics supply was insufficient and the morale was extremely unstable, the strength and comprehensive quality of the ancient orc army were unquestionable.

In particular, there is the exaggerated brainwashing ability of the national teacher Kedar, which can forcibly raise the morale of the ancient orc army from 20 to 80 or even 100, and make up for the lack of morale with extremely fanatical primitive worship.

Rows of ladders supported the rise, and the ancient orc warriors below kept crowding and climbing up like crazy ants that tasted blood.

Siege towers, arrow towers, and catapults covered the ancient orc warriors who attacked the city today. Because of the range bombing of the destruction cannon, the siege machinery and materials of the ancient orc warriors who attacked the city today were more barren and scarce than before.

However, they were even more crazy, regardless of life and death, even if they stepped on the corpses of their own people, they had to climb up and swing their swords.

If the defenders were new recruits at this time, they would be suppressed just by facing this kind of momentum, and their morale would continue to decline.

However, the number of new recruits in the Lonely Mountain Castle was very small. Even if there were originally, after the bloody war in the previous period, the number was sharply reduced.

Because the first wall had been severely damaged, although the assault two days ago repelled the ancient orc army and caused a small-scale rout, the Lonely Mountain Castle did not take advantage of the situation to recapture the first wall, but chose to retreat to the second wall.

For the current Lonely Mountain Castle, what it lacks is not the defensive advantage, but the huge disparity in military strength compared to the enemy.

Rhodes held the Crusader flag, wearing a heavy armor and a silk robe, and personally came to the wall, and then planted the glorious flag that Mek Rivera exchanged for his life.

With a blood-colored background, the brilliant cross sword emblem fluttered above the Lonely Mountain Castle. Within the range of the legendary holy relic, the spirits of all the warriors were lifted, and they felt a rolling heat surging in their bodies.

They only thought that the morale increase brought by the arrival of the lord, but they did not expect that their own strength and agility attributes were truly strengthened.

"Now, there is no need to rush to upgrade high-level soldiers. In defensive operations, upgrading ten or twenty second- or third-level crossbow soldiers is actually much more meaningful than upgrading a third- or fourth-level soldier."

"What's more, upgrading a Rhodok crossbowman or a skilled Rhodok crossbowman only costs dozens of dinars, while upgrading a third- or fourth-level soldier directly costs hundreds of dinars."

Although he has obtained the ability to train fifth-level legendary soldiers, considering the extremely high expenditure, Rhodes decided to at least convert a large number of low- and middle-level soldiers for defending the city in this battle.

During this period, Rhodes sorted out his personal collection and sold all the precious collections that he could not use temporarily to the system store, which earned him hundreds of thousands of dinars.

Of course, it is not cost-effective to do so, but as long as he can survive the current battle, it is very cost-effective.

The blood and fire on the battlefield are undoubtedly an effective way to make a person transform quickly.

Today, Rox Paine of the Paine family has shed his original gorgeous decorations, put on heavy makeup, and his cheeks are black and red due to the war and blood, as hideous and terrifying as a demon escaping from hell.

Rox Paine will never whip the old soldiers who have been loyal to his family for many years for a little face-saving matter.

The experience of the past few days made him quickly understand how important a reliable old soldier is in a combat team.

But it is too late to regret now. Bandak has been recruited by Duke Rhodes. He is not in a high position in the Lonely Mountain Castle now, but he commands more soldiers than Rox Paine, and they are more elite and powerful.

"Chain Lightning, fire!"

Several lightning beams suddenly shot down from the sky. In terms of the number of mages, Lonely Mountain Castle was indeed slightly inferior to the ancient orc army, so they could only let the lightning beams jump on the soldiers on the wall until their energy was completely exhausted, and endure all the damage of this magic.

However, it was only slightly inferior.

The Elemental Mage Tower of Lonely Mountain Castle once again spread red light, and then another legendary elemental magic meteor shower fell down.

The Elemental Magic Tower controlled by Lady Isriel, the Green Language Elf, was indeed not as domineering and fierce as the Destruction Cannon.

The cooling time required to cast a large-scale magic was also quite long. However, in terms of stability, it was much stronger than the Destruction Cannon, and the consumption was much lower.

Princess Anna has been forcibly sent back to the city defense tower.

After all, the frontline battlefield is full of fierce soldiers and dangers. Unlike Rhodes, Princess Anna's personal combat effectiveness is too low. If something happens to her, it will have an unnecessary blow to the morale of the soldiers in Gushan Castle.

Of course, Rhodes would try his best to avoid this situation.

"Your Majesty the Duke, it seems that the ancient orcs are planning to use their absolute numerical superiority to consume our mental and physical energy." Lesarit, the commander of the coalition forces, said as he looked down at the battlefield through the magic mirror.

The massive casualties and charges of the ancient orc army at this moment are not meaningless. Human nerves are not steel. If they can maintain such an attacking posture for a long time, after all, the Lonely Mountain Castle Legion with limited strength will eventually be suppressed by them. collapse.

At least, there is a very high possibility.

"No, if most of the ancient orcs' elites are wiped out here, what else can they do to seize the core area of ​​the continent? Most of the ancient orcs are stupid, but their senior leaders are not confused. Just watch. It won’t be long before something changes.”

What Rhodes is most afraid of now is that the ancient orcs use stupid methods, really like Resalit using all the elites to fight him.

But Rhodes judged that the senior management of the Ancient Orcs would never do this, and variables meant there were opportunities.
