Mount & Blade: Wind of War

As a hero, Caitlin's personal attributes are very low, but there is nothing to dislike about this, because she may not have become a "hero" until she was forty or fifty years old, unlike Fatis who has received strict training since childhood.

Kress experienced an extremely bloody and horrific night of killing when he was young, which led to his awakening.

However, although Caitlin's personal attributes are very low, her spiritualism level is very high. Through the double superposition of the hero characteristics Twin Spirits and the Golden Scepter, her spiritualism level has been increased to level 8.

As the undead wizard, Caitlin was eager to show up to find Rhodes for this reason.

"The vitality of centaurs is higher than that of humans, and the power of death produced after death is also richer and purer. As long as you hand over all the corpses of centaurs to me, I will bring you a fighting force in half a month. Not a weak army of death.”

"The last squeeze of residual value? Sounds like a good deal."

Looking at the sky outside, it was already quite late.

"Ms. Caitlin, shall we have dinner together first? Kress is a good cook, I think you will like it."

"Lord Rhodes, after practicing necromancy, my need for food has become lower and lower. In fact, my cooking skills are also good, but now I can only look at the color of the food and the taste of my tongue. I have gradually lost the ability to distinguish taste.”

"Let's go directly to the cemetery. I think the lord is also in urgent need of new combat forces, right?"

"Okay, Ms. Caitlin, I will look forward to your performance in the next war." Since the other party has almost lost their sense of taste, then inviting the other party to taste delicious food is a sign of hostility.

At dusk, Rhodes, Kress, and Caitlin, accompanied by several Redwood Town guards, headed to the town's cemetery.

In the town cemetery, Rhodes met Knight Fatis somewhat unexpectedly. At this time, Fatis was directing the soldiers to bury the corpses.

"Knight Fatis, why are you here so late?"

"Miss Kress, because if a large number of corpses are disposed of improperly, it will cause a plague. After the training, I had nothing to do, so I came over and watched them bury the corpses to avoid leaving any trouble. Hello, Lord Lord, hello, madam. ”

He frowned slightly and stared at Caitlin. Although Fatis tried his best to suppress his instinct, he still subconsciously pressed the sword with his palm because he felt very uncomfortable whenever he saw Caitlin. The holy fighting energy in his body fluctuated faintly, as if he was encountering Arrived natural enemy.

The relationship between the Paladin and the Necromancer is originally like water and fire, light and darkness.

It's just that Fatis is a moral model, with strong self-control and great emphasis on personal etiquette, so at least on the surface he seems relatively normal. When Caitlin saw Fatis, she subconsciously took two steps back. There was almost an obvious look of fear on his face.

The Death Fever trait makes her no longer at a disadvantage when facing Holy Priests, but when facing Paladins, she has the attributes to restrain professional suppression.

"Fatis, this is Ms. Caitlin, the necromancer who just accepted my recruitment. Please restrain yourself and don't be rude."

"Necromancer!? Sir, Lonely Mountain Castle is the city blessed by God. How can we allow darkness and filth to enter this holy city for the sake of power?"

"Has death ever been unclean? What's the difference between using magic and using swords to kill enemies? Stand back, I'm not in the mood to discuss this with you."

Rhodes knew that it was difficult to subdue Fatis. Similarly, he would never betray or leave his lord easily after subduing him. Other subordinates may choose to leave after the lord declines, but for people like Fatis, as long as you don't seriously and repeatedly touch his moral bottom line, even if you decline, he will only blame himself for his incompetence.

"Now I need Caitlin's undead power to reduce the loss of soldiers in Lonely Mountain Castle. Let's suppress Fatis for the time being. Anyway, Caitlin will show up less in the future, and the conflict between the two may not intensify further. . Even if it gets intensified in the end, I can save my face by going to Fatis a few more times and abandoning Caitlin."

It is actually a wonderful thing that a person like Rhodes can cultivate Holy Light Qi successfully and make rapid progress. He has a very flexible moral standard, and as long as it is in line with the general trend, he does not mind using the power of darkness and death.

In Rhodes' concept, the so-called darkness is only because the light has converged. Since the power of destruction and creation lies in himself, he can also accept the objective existence of darkness.

"Ha, Lord Rodhart, it turns out that there is such a paladin under your command!"

"Ms. Caitlin, didn't you notice when she was secretly watching the battle two days ago? Well, that's right, that guy Fatis likes to restrain the Holy Fighting Qi, and he uses it very stingily and cautiously." As he spoke, Rhodes spread his left hand.

A ball of white-gold holy flame emerged out of thin air. In the darkness of the night, the light illuminated Caitlin's face pale. She never dreamed that the existence beside her was actually a holy knight.

And the holy flame in this hand feels purer and more terrifying than that guy just now!

For a moment, Caitlin suddenly doubted whether her choice was correct: a necromancer came to the paladin's base camp, could this still be possible?

Fortunately, Rhode's attitude gave Caitlin great comfort. He ordered his subordinates to push all the remaining centaur corpses to Caitlin's designated location in the underground mine. Even if they were already buried, they had to be dug out and sent there.

After this incident, Caitlin returned to the underground mine, while Rhode and Cress returned to their residence.

According to Caitlin, summoning the most basic skeleton soldiers first, and then transforming them with the dark magic circle, this would save the most dark magic, and the conversion efficiency of the necromancy would be relatively the highest.

PS: The dark magic consumption of summoning a first-level skeleton soldier from a corpse is 1, while the dark magic consumption of summoning a second-level skeleton archer is 2, which is doubled. However, if a first-level skeleton soldier is summoned and then transformed and strengthened with the dark magic circle, then the dark magic consumption of summoning a second-level skeleton archer is 1. There is one more transformation step, but it can save twice the dark magic.

Insight, understanding and full use of these details are the basis for becoming a powerful necromancer.

On the way back, Kress said:

"Master, is it not good for you to scold Knight Fatis like this today? I know that you value Knight Fatis very much."

"That guy, he is too stubborn. Kress, you must remember that what kind of skills a person has has no direct relationship with what kind of person he is. A novelist may write a touching work, but in reality he may be a wretched bastard. On the contrary, a person with good character may also write a relatively low-interest work."

"Fatis thinks that the necromancer is evil and the paladin is righteous and kind. In this world, it is not so easy to distinguish, although it makes sense to judge in this way in general."

"Oh, I see. Then I will go to Master Fatis tonight to send some pork soup."

"...Did you not listen to what I said at all?"

"I listened, but I can feel that the master still cares about and appreciates Lord Fatis, although you say he is stubborn."
