Mount & Blade: Wind of War

It was almost dusk, and the wind was howling.

In the sentry tower that was under construction and had not yet been completely completed, several green-skinned ancient orcs were drinking wine.

There were two strong ancient orcs wrestling on the side, and some gathered around. Others were holding their beloved axe and using grindstones to continuously sharpen the already very sharp axe blade.

Of course, even in this situation, there were still two orcs standing on a high place, observing the surroundings.

As long as someone was on duty and the other orcs who were on duty were having fun, even the most severe commander of this era would not say much.

"Hey, what do you see? Is that... a human?"

Hearing the shouts of the orcs on duty, all the orcs in the sentry tower became alert.

Some of them ran to the second floor of the sentry tower and looked in the direction pointed by the orcs on duty. They saw two people, one tall and one short, who were very slender in the eyes of the orcs, walking towards the sentry tower.

"Do you want to light the alarm?" An orc on duty asked this, and the next moment its head was slapped hard.

"Stupid, maybe they are merchants, but even if they are not, you set off the alarm for two humans? You bastard, stay away from my sister in the future. My sister can't marry a coward and suffer for the rest of her life."

When the orc in the sentry tower was talking, the two humans, one tall and one short, had already entered the sentry tower on full alert.

As someone guessed, the proud and warlike orcs would not easily set off the alarm that alarmed the entire tribe just because of two "slender and weak" humans.

"Who are you two and what are you doing here? Take off your helmets!" said the leader of the ancient orc sentry tower holding a double-edged axe.

They couldn't tell the specific race of the people coming for a while, and they would treat different races slightly differently.

"Uh, we are lost traveling merchants, and we are..."

"He is lying, kill them."

Just as Rhodes opened his mouth, the leader of the ancient orc sentry tower holding a big axe chose to attack because Rhodes and Cress did not take off their helmets.

Its vigilance was quite good, and it did not give Rhode and Cress any chance to delay. The ancient orcs around them obeyed orders and quickly rushed up with weapons.

Whoosh!

Before entering the sentry tower, Rhode had repeatedly explained to Cress the dangers of this trip.

Therefore, between the opening and closing of Cress's eyes, the beast pupils had already emerged, and he directly activated his violent talent. While crouching, two bloodthirsty javelins had already been thrown out.

One shot at the iron-clad wooden shield of the first green-skinned ancient orc who rushed over, knocking it back, while the other shot through the gap between their formations, steadily, accurately, and fiercely shooting at the throat of an ancient orc holding a longbow, killing him instantly.

If it were in other periods of history, as a lord with considerable power, Rhode's way of doing things would be radical and dangerous, but as a super lord in the supernatural era, it is really hard to say who has a better future, a calm and cautious lord or a reckless and impulsive lord.

Although the latter died more, there are always some who can go a long way on the road belonging to the supernatural.

If you want to master the power beyond mortals, you must also have the courage beyond mortals.

Even in Rhodes's previous world, there were people who took the initiative to cut off their own retreat and chose to die if they could not win, and there were also people who fought against 100,000 with 3,000 people and chose not to return if they could not win.

That's why there is "Yu's bravery is unparalleled in the ages".

That's why there is "King Qin broke the formation and the world was at peace".

Compared with the above two fierce men, Rhodes still has his own reliance when fighting ten with one, so he is far inferior in courage and spirit.

He held a steel round shield in his left hand and raised the Thunder Military Hammer in his right hand.

Although Rhodes's start was slightly slower than Cress's, his accumulation and control of the Holy Fighting Qi were much stronger than Cress's, so he rushed to the front of an ancient orc with a sudden instant acceleration.

The steel shield hit his abdomen fiercely, and then the Thunder Military Hammer swung vertically and smashed down.

Bang!

Although the military hammer is not as sharp as a sword, it has +1 power attack, +1 strength, and +20 one-handed weapon proficiency, which are enough to make up for the shortcomings. Moreover, sometimes blunt damage is more suitable for destroying heavy armor than swords.

Therefore, with just this one blow, the helmet of the ancient orc opposite Rhodes was deformed. I don’t know what happened to its head under the helmet. Anyway, it didn’t stand up again after lying down.

"Fanatical, start!"

After activating his own talent, the whole world around him seemed to slow down in Rhodes’ eyes. Of course, his own movements also slowed down at the same time.

Because two humans killed and knocked out one person each, the ancient orcs around were furious. They rushed forward and didn’t care about the alarm at all. This was both a good thing and a bad thing.

The ancient orcs were brave and warlike and didn’t know what fear was. At this moment, they rushed forward together, instantly greatly compressing Rhodes’ space for maneuvering.

A very important point in fighting one against many is to build courage before attacking. As long as the first few are knocked down with amazing and fierce means, most of the low-level opponents will not dare to come forward. Even if they come forward, they will come in batches, and there will not be too many people to deal with at the same time.

And the green-skinned ancient orcs around are brave and fierce. They squeezed in and suppressed the space for Rhode to swing the war hammer in his hand. In the end, Rhode will be hacked to pieces.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

However, Kress, who was as flexible and light as a cat, suddenly jumped behind Rhodes and violently threw the spear behind her.

At this time, there was no need to be precise, because the force was so powerful that it would be right to hit anyone around except Rhodes.

The cooperation between Rhodes and Kress is like being connected. Kress throws from the front, and Rhodes breaks through with force at his feet.

One person is violent and the other is fanatical. As long as the two of them break through the siege advantage of the ancient orcs and fight and retreat, they can maximize their own combat power advantages.

However, at this moment, a crossbow arrow suddenly shot out from a dark corner in the sentry tower. Kress had just exploded with physical strength to throw a spear violently just a moment ago. His body naturally stagnated, but at this moment, the crossbow arrow could not be avoided at all. He barely moved his body, but was still hit by the crossbow bolt on his shoulder. His small body almost flew up at this moment, and fell to the ground.

"Cress!"

Sensing that Kress was in danger, Rhodes didn't even have time to think about it. His body had already turned back. His footwork made him shake. The force was transmitted to his legs and feet, and the stone ground beneath his feet was trampled. It cracked open, and the gravel jumped up and flew around.

Bang bang bang, violent collision, Rhodes, who had already rushed out, rushed back into the encirclement, and he stood in front of Kress.

"master!"

Kress is also someone who has practiced martial arts for a long time and is familiar with battle formations. How could she not know how dangerous this choice is for people in battle formations!

But regardless of the danger, at this moment, all the pros and cons were forgotten in Rhode's mind.

"Haha, go to hell!"

The ancient orc leader, who was originally unable to catch up with Rhodes, was laughing maniacally at this moment, holding up the double-edged ax in his hand and swinging it down diagonally with great violence.

What it faced was Rhodes who gathered all his strength and fighting spirit to face it with a hammer and shield.

Bang bang bang bang... There were loud noises one after another, like the sound of fierce forging in a blacksmith shop. After all, Rhodes changed his fighting style midway and returned suddenly. Even if he gathered all his strength and fighting spirit, he could not stop the ancient orc in front of him. The leader's offensive.

As the sparks exploded, Rhodes' steps became more and more frivolous, and his arms that were constantly waving to attack seemed to be getting slower and slower, becoming more and more difficult to move.

Some people may ask, where are the other ancient orcs at this time?

Of course, no other ancient orcs participated in the battle at this time. The ancient orc leader swung his ax with both hands like a storm. No matter how brave the ancient orcs were, they would not want to be killed by their leader by mistake. The ancient orc leader's huge body also blocked the arrow path. , although Rhodes' strength is not inferior, his size is much smaller, which is an advantage in close combat.
