Mount & Blade: Wind of War

Originally there were no roads in this world, but roads appeared after walking more.

In this world, on this continent, there is no need for nature conservation organizations, at least not for one or two hundred years.

Because in most areas, humans are far from being able to fight against nature:

The forests grow lushly, and after cutting and burning, it is difficult to open up a flat land. As long as you don't clean it up diligently, it will quickly return to part of the forest.

In fact, most of the business roads in the wilderness were beast roads at the beginning, and the paths trampled by beasts were only after the number of humans gradually increased.

Boom, boom.

This is the sound of wheels rolling over. An army of more than 200 people with complex races is advancing slowly but not hesitantly. Life is the same. Don't be afraid of slowness, just be afraid of stopping.

As the situation in the wilderness gradually stabilized, Lonely Mountain Castle and its affiliated territories gradually entered a period of peaceful development.

Although it is unknown how long this precious state can last, Rhode still took the little princess Anna Han to Fastel, the capital of the Styak Empire.

Objectively speaking, it is indeed not good to delay any longer.

If this delicate little meat bun gets into trouble anywhere, it will be a major accident.

Of course, the escort of the little princess cannot be small. Not only the Lord of Lonely Mountain, Rhodes, but also Cress, Airen, Raymond, Nicolte, Likia Qiusha, and the civil servant Qiao Lin are all brought along.

In addition to the team, there are: 50 dark armored cavalry, 50 charr guardians, 20 heavy-armored war eagle knights, 80 Rhodok heavy crossbowmen, and 40 war lizardmen and wolf servants.

The dark armored cavalry originally had the potential to upgrade to level 2, level 6, and so did the charr guardians, but after being strengthened by the enlightenment array, both arms have opened up the potential of level 3. The cavalry team is led by Airen, and the guardians are led by Raymond.

The new promotion system is:

Dark Warrior (level 1, level 3), Dark Destroyer (level 2, level 6), Curse Knight (level 7), Curse Knight (level 8), Nightmare Curse Knight (level 3, level 9).

Shire Wild Hunter (Level 1, Level 3), Shire Guardian (Level 2, Level 6), Son of the Earth (Level 7), Son of the Sky (Level 8), Son of Nature (Level 3, Level 9).

Of course, these two troops are not the most powerful in the Lonely Mountain Castle Army. The most powerful troops in the entire Lonely Mountain Castle Army are the original Level 3, Level 11 Griffin Knights.

After the focused training of Lonely Mountain Castle Chief Instructor Resarit, they successfully opened the Level 4, Level 12: Heavy Griffin Knights.

For all air units, the rank is basically one level higher than the combat power. A single griffin flying down may be killed by a group of miscellaneous soldiers. Without the number, it can only protect itself and cannot kill the low-level soldiers in the group. But with the knights, it immediately has strategic reconnaissance and other auxiliary functions.

Just like the special operations to capture the City of Redemption before, without the assistance of the Griffin Knights, Rhodes or Fatis needed to crawl up first and drop the chains, and even the two of them had to risk their lives.

After all, climbing up and fixing the chain while climbing are not the same difficulty coefficient at all.

When Rhodes ordered Resarit to cooperate in the training of heavy-armored griffin knights, he received a system prompt:

[Since Lonely Mountain Castle has mastered the light steel forging technology, the fourth-level twelfth-level hidden soldier, the heavy-armored war griffin knight, is enabled. 】

Heavy-armored griffin knight, a fourth-level twelfth-level soldier, excluding knights, the griffin itself has a strong combat capability, its claws can tear through armor, and its wings can overturn a strong horse.

After loading heavy armor, the defense of the soldier is improved, the survivability is improved, and the endurance is reduced.

Soldier skill 1: Flying. When used, it ignores terrain obstacles and can move at high speed.

Soldier skill 2: Heavy-armored charge. When used, it can attack all enemies on the charge route, causing casualties, destruction, and chaos.

Heavy-armored war griffin knight, a fourth-level twelfth-level hidden soldier, can forge light heavy armor when the force has light steel manufacturing technology.

After being equipped with heavy armor, the defense of the troops is greatly improved, the survivability is greatly improved, and the endurance is slightly reduced.

Troop Skill 1: Flying. Omitted.

Troop Skill 2: Heavy Charge. Omitted.

If there is any flaw between the hidden troops Heavy Griffin Knight and Heavy Griffin Knight, it is that the gold coins spent on the same arm is more than ten times more. However, considering the strategic nature of this troop, Rhode can only pay with tears in his eyes.

Fortunately, ore was detected in the City of Redemption during this period, otherwise the family's assets would be completely emptied.

You know, war is about money. Even the most powerful individual combat capability is, to some extent, not as good as the three words "mass production".

Dark Black Armor Cavalry, Char Guardian, Heavy Griffin Knight, these are all special vanguards of Lonely Mountain Castle, but they are not the main combat troops, because they are strong, but the number is not enough.

The main combat unit of Lonely Mountain Castle is the Rhodok heavy crossbowmen. Yes, that is the type of unit that can obtain both powerful archers and infantry at the same time for one price.

(Rhodok heavy crossbowmen: It’s not over yet, right?)

But the eighty heavy crossbowmen that Rhode brought with him this time were not level six, seven or eight. They were all level three Rhodok skilled crossbowmen who could barely handle heavy crossbows.

This is because Rhode considered that it was not appropriate to expose the technology of Lonely Mountain Castle to manufacture three-arrow continuous heavy crossbows. On the other hand, he could also promote heavy crossbows and train these soldiers during the journey.

After all, the journey is long, and they should have been upgraded to level 6 of the second stage by the time they arrived.

As for the vassal army, there are a total of 80 lizardmen and jackals. Although they are also equipped with simple weapons, their main function is to work.

Some are similar to labor immigrants. They have to do dirty, tiring and hard work. Anyway, they are unwilling to do it. They have to select the most docile, strong and obedient ones among the slaves.

Some people may worry about being plotted against and being overthrown by the lower class, but at least in the first and second generations of Lonely Mountain Castle, this is very difficult to happen.

Because the regular army of Lonely Mountain Castle rebelled from the slave class, these people will basically never lose their vigilance throughout their lives.

In this period, if you want to rebel, you basically have only one way to die. In this period, choosing to be docile and obedient is relatively smart.

This batch of servant soldiers not only had better treatment, but also could be freed earlier if they performed well. However, Rhode basically ignored the occasional applications from foreign races to join the team. God loved the world, and the limit was only humans.
