Mount & Blade: Wind of War

Lonely Mountain Castle, City Lord's Mansion, Martial Arts Arena.

"Roar!"

At this moment, in the center of the arena, there is a huge iron cage, which is holding a ferocious flaming horn demon with one of its top horns broken off.

In addition to it, there is a huge bird cage in the air of the arena, in which a red-winged harpy with an iron chain tied around its neck is flying.

The red-winged harpy is, of course, the captured noble girl Japar.

Because she has suffered cruel punishment and torture, and accidentally learned from the servants that because of her leak, the last jackal guards and the remaining red-winged harpy were completely wiped out, and the Centaur coalition suffered heavy losses. After that, the noble girl Japar had some mental breakdown and fell into stupidity and madness.

After knowing this, Rhode did not punish the servants who were cleaning. Although he knew they did it on purpose, as a human, Rhode could understand this kind of resentment and hatred.

Japar's situation was a nightmare for her personally, but if she didn't have a nightmare, tens of thousands of human beings in the Mountain Fortress would continue to have nightmares. So, let her go crazy. This was Rhode's camp's position.

With such sounds, the iron chains around the iron cage in the center of the arena were pulled, and the huge iron cage was slowly pulled up.

The flaming horned demon walked out with some doubts, not daring to believe that it had regained its freedom.

But soon, it had no time to be confused about it.

Because a strong man with steel armor but no helmet walked in slowly, facing the nearly three-blade-high beast alone, Fatis did not show any fear.

On the high platform around the arena, Rhode, Cress, the captain of the guard Su Xiu and others watched the battle, waiting for the performance.

"Fatis, don't kill it, I still have a use for it."

"I understand, sir."

The flaming horned demon is wild and difficult to tame, even though Rhode's prisoner management skill has been upgraded to level 3 with the bonus of Thunder's military hammer.

But this kind of cross-civilization and cross-race taming is still very difficult.

Bang.

As the ogre Fatty, who was pulling the iron chain on both sides, let go, the iron cage slammed to the ground.

"Roar!"

At this moment, the flaming horned demon also roared and began to charge, and flames burned on its body in space, with a fierce momentum.

"Teacher, be careful!"

Cress put his hands in front of his mouth and shouted loudly.

But in the eyes of this little girl who advocates violence, there was a flash of excitement.

Rhode saw this and couldn't help but chuckle.

No matter how fierce the flaming horned demon was, Fatis just drew out his sword calmly and drew a circle around himself.

The next moment, the circle became bright, revealing a holy light, completely covering Fatis who was ready to fight:

The light combat skill, the sacred barrier, consumes the sacred fighting spirit and strengthens one's own defense ability through devout prayer. When a person with a strong will and deep fighting spirit uses this skill, his whole body is like a tangible and invisible light steel armor.

During this period, Rhodes took the army out to fight in the south and the north, and Fatis was stationed in the city.

Before, everyone found a large amount of extraordinary knowledge inheritance in the underground witch secret library. For the eagle witch, collecting most of the extraordinary inheritance may just be for reading and improving knowledge, but the light-related extraordinary knowledge in it is a treasure for Fatis.

Relying on his own powerful fighting spirit control and the high degree of fit with his profession, it didn't take much time for Fatis to master the ability to use the sacred barrier.

After Rhodes returned to the city this time, Fatis wanted to teach it, but Rhodes felt that this was not intuitive enough, so he asked Fatis to fight with the Flame Horned Demon.

Because there is no chance to subdue this flaming horn demon without at least a dozen or twenty rounds of beatings. If Fatis didn't go, Rhode would have to do it himself. Now that Fatis went, Rhode could fight one less round.

At the same time, it is also good for Cress and the people around him to watch this kind of battle between extraordinary people.

Bang.

The echo spread in the arena, and the flaming horn demon's heavy fist hit the shield raised by Fatis. The former had amazing explosive power, and the latter was firm and strong. The collision between the two almost formed a shock wave that was faintly visible to the naked eye.

"... So... so strong!"

Seeing that Fatis himself was not equipped with a helmet, he fought back and forth with the flaming horn demon with a sword and a shield. Cress on the high circular platform almost had little stars in his eyes.

Even if it was Master Rhodes, to subdue this beast, he would need a large number of Rhodok crossbowmen to besiege and shoot around, but he couldn't fight head-on like Teacher Fatis.

Although Cress also knew that Master Rhodes was fighting against a peak-state Flame Horned Demon, while Teacher Fatis was fighting against a wounded one.

"But no matter how you think about it, Raymond is so useless. It's okay that he was stupid enough to fight this guy in close combat, but he was also knocked away by a punch. It's really distressing for a sister to have such a brother."

Watching the battle below, Cress subconsciously said what was in his mind.

This made the captain of the guard Su Xiu on the side consciously look sideways, pretending not to hear it. Rhodes was closest to Cress, but he couldn't pretend like that.

I could only smile bitterly and said, "Cress, you can't say that. Raymond still has his merits. He is your brother after all. I know that Raymond will cry if you say that to him."

"There is indeed a gap. He speaks from his heart."

"It is because it is from his heart that it hurts the most."

When the two talked, the battle in the arena below was already white-hot.

The attack of the Flame Horned Demon was fierce and violent. Everything was aimed at killing the opponent as the first goal, even if it cost his life. He only attacked and did not defend, only advanced and did not retreat. Under full force, his whole body was burning with fierce flames, and his fists even covered and hit out terrifying afterimages, like a raging fire hurricane in the world of hell.

In contrast, Fatis's offensive and defensive movements were full of mechanical precision and calmness. Although the size difference between the two sides was huge, every time he drew his sword, he stabbed and chopped at the power running point of the Flame Horned Demon. Every move was impeccable in both offense and defense.

The most terrifying thing is his eyes that are neither sad nor happy in the battle, like an ice lake, seeing through everything and penetrating everything. If the battle is compared to a chess game, ordinary chess players can look three steps ahead before taking one step, which is already good, but Fatis can look ten steps ahead before taking one step, and every step is correct, every move is correct, and he is extremely precise and calm.

The flames spreading around the Flame Horned Demon can't break through the translucent light shield that covers Fatis's body.

The restraint of the Holy Power on the Hell Magic Power has been fully demonstrated in this battle.

"Roar!"

Accompanied by a terrifying roar full of murderous intent and bestiality, the Flame Horned Demon raised his right fist high, and the flames on his fist and elbow were burning and lingering, and then he slammed down.

Boom, like an explosion, a lot of smoke and dust spread and rose, but at the last moment before the smoke and dust rose, Fatis rushed in without hesitation.

Bang.

With the sound of metal and armor colliding violently, a moment later, Fatis, who was not equipped with a helmet, walked out of the flying dust with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other. Behind him was the Flame Horned Demon who fell unconscious.

Dark magic restrains earth, water, fire, and wind, almost all the elemental forces in this world. In the collision of these energies, the same amount of dark magic can almost occupy an absolute advantage.

Light holy power restrains dark magic, and at the same time is not restrained by all the elemental forces of earth, water, fire, and wind, but it is not very aggressive. At least, in the hands of most people, it is relatively not very aggressive.

However, as long as you are promoted to the legendary realm, there are almost no extraordinary professionals who don’t have a headache with these iron cans in a hostile state.

After the war, Fatis began to teach Rhodes the sacred barrier skills. As long as he knew, all the experience and cultivation secrets were told to Rhodes and Cress without any reservation.

Of course, Cress just listened to the fun. She practiced blood-based fighting spirit, and listening to this knowledge could at most understand some of the relative weaknesses of light combat skills.

However, Rhodes practiced this skill seriously. Although the consumption of fighting spirit was a bit large, the defensive effect was indeed good. It could be said that he had added another layer of armor to his own steel armor defense. Of course, its strength depended on the individual's cultivation.

After the battle between Fatis and the Flame Horned Demon, Rhodes decided to build a large arena in the city center of Lonely Mountain Castle to increase the entertainment projects for the whole people and enhance the fighting spirit of the whole people.

In the previous world that Rhodes experienced, there was a human king who was known as the descendant of the god of war and established the glorious and prosperous Roman Empire.

The Roman Empire once created the Olympic Games and the arena system. When people in later generations thought it was barbaric and evil, they forgot that it was these weekly and monthly gladiatorial games that gave all Roman citizens the strongest stimulation:

Blood, death, the law of the jungle, and the survival of the fittest!

The Roman Empire lasted almost a thousand years, and this system played a great role in this. However, when Christian civilization abolished the Olympic Games and the Colosseum, the Roman Empire quickly collapsed, and even completely disappeared in the river of history in the next two thousand years... This is the only outcome for a race and a civilization that has lost its blood, courage and bestiality.
