Mount & Blade: Wind of War

As the lord of a land area, he has the responsibility to maintain local security and protect the smooth flow of trade routes, rather than just collecting taxes and ignoring everything outside the castle.

The subjects pay taxes to the lord, and the lord protects the safety and life of the subjects. This is the right path of this era. Lords who violate this path are actually heading towards destruction, but it may happen quickly or slowly.

The daily cleansing and guarding is not only the case of Lonely Mountain Castle, but also the City of Redemption, Whitestone Fortress, Redwood Town and even the Hell Territory Refining Fire Castle.

This is why Rhodes needs to recruit so many knight heroes and mage heroes. If he only relies on himself, he will not be able to complete all the responsibilities even if he is exhausted.

The 68-person human army participating in the battle in Lonely Mountain Castle VS the 110-odd units of the Hell Demon Army.

With twenty Vaegian cavalry outflanking and suppressing them, the Hell Demon Army charged in the opposite direction at the request of the demon leader. Because in its judgment, there is no way to escape, and the more you run away, the more energy you use up, so it is better to take a risk and still have a chance to win.

Following Rhodes' instructions, eight light priests raised their staffs high.

The extraordinary divine power of the buff magic was successively used on the medium-armor long archers. The diffuse and shrouded white light can make these long archers have more powerful physical fitness and continuous combat capabilities.

The buff magic Tenacity was cast on Rodok's crossbowmen in turn. The white light that diffused and enveloped allowed these heavy crossbowmen to have more powerful lives and reduce some damage.

"Everyone listen to the order... let go!"

In actual combat, Raymond, who was riding on a war horse and overlooking the entire battlefield, still had no problem controlling the fighter plane.

Following his command, the medium-armored long archer behind the hillside suddenly loosened his bow string, and a dense row of arrows fell like a rain curtain.

Then came the Rodok heavy crossbowmen. They also rushed up the high slope, either standing or half-kneeling to shoot downwards.

Since the commander has already determined the next direction of the Hell Demon Army, the army on the Gushan Castle side can of course choose the defensive terrain that is most beneficial to them.

On the contrary, the Hell Demon Army, although their average combat power is relatively strong, is prone to losing control of their emotions and has poor self-control. On the other hand, they are also worried that large groups of cavalry from far away may rush into the battlefield at any time and form a combined attack situation, so they must not Don't rush into the formation with your back.

If they were facing an ordinary regular army, this Hell Demon Army might have the opportunity to use its strength and ferocity to forcibly find a way out, or even use combat defeat tactics to reverse the situation and turn defeat into victory.

However, they are facing the army of Gushan Castle. Within a certain area of ​​Gushan Castle, under the shroud of the power of order of the Silver Holy Grail, the morale of hell and the undead decreases, while the morale of the human race increases. In actual combat, they are human warriors. Their mentality is more calm and firm, they can quickly and effectively execute military orders, and their morale is less likely to collapse.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh…

"Ah!"

Under the circumstances of continuous throwing of feather arrows and direct firing of heavy crossbows, the black demon army of hell quickly fell down and died like cutting wheat.

Although the Hell Demon Army has always had the tradition of pushing the little devil cannon fodder to the front to block damage, this time, almost all the little devil cannon fodder died before the distance was even a third of the way.

Those relatively higher-level hell demons had to charge against the terrifying arrows themselves.

Due to the chaotic organization of the army, the melee and long-range combat of these Hell Demon Army are mixed together, and some Hell Demon Army have mutated and evolved long-range capabilities. Therefore, although they attack upward and attack below, many Hell Demon Army still shoot out. Fireballs, acid, lightning balls.

It's just that these extraordinary magical abilities are almost completely suppressed by the human race's terrain advantage.

Many of the Rhodok heavy crossbowmen above have half or even most of their bodies hidden behind rocks. In addition, they are wearing heavy armor. Even if they are hit and shot down, they are often not fatal with one hit.

What's more, in most cases, those fireballs, acid, lightning balls, and ice cones are bombarded on the natural shelter rocks.

"Kill, kill!"

At this moment, Raymond was completely caught up in the frenzy of fighting. He held a flaming bow and fired wildly downwards.

Although the hell demons are very resistant to flames, Raymond's flame arrows are explosive. In addition, he took the blood of the Holy Spirit in the Silver Holy Grail, and the flame fighting spirit is mixed with a certain amount of The power of light, therefore has a hidden damage bonus to the demons.

What needs special explanation here is that after experiments, it was found that dark professionals such as Alleyn and Caitlin can also take the blood of the Holy Spirit, and they also have the effect of "restoring youth and strengthening the body", but the effect is somewhat weakened.

In addition, after taking it, dark magic and undead magic will decline greatly, but it will help to purify the magic. Another point is that after taking it, although the dark profession will no longer be repulsed by the power of order and light of the Silver Holy Grail, its own magic power will be reduced. For other units that have consumed the blood of the Holy Spirit, the lethality is reduced to almost zero. For units that have been radiated by the power of light of order for a long time, the lethality will also be greatly reduced.

After the research results were obtained, Airen decided to apply to exchange his own merits for the Holy Spirit Blood after several considerations. Compared with the benefits obtained, the price paid was already very low, not to mention that it was just a reduction in the lethality to "his own people"... If he did not exchange the Holy Spirit Blood, what would the Duke think of him in his heart?

Airen chose to exchange, but Caitlin chose not to. She was not as young as Airen, and she had time to accumulate her own strength after a solid foundation. For Caitlin, the price of a significant decline in her own magic power was unacceptable to her. Moreover, she had been hiding in the Tower of the Dead for a long time, and the light of the Silver Holy Grail could not reach her, which was different from Airen.

The extraordinary world has countless knowledge and mysteries, and is still waiting for the exploration and research of the world, but take your time, there is no need to rush, and the next ten thousand years will be very long.

"As soon as Raymond enters the battlefield, he will be immersed in killing and unable to extricate himself. This is fine for small-scale battles, but how can he be a good commander in large-scale wars?"

In small-scale battles, the commander is immersed in killing, and can make up for the lack of command by focusing on the efficiency of killing. However, in wars involving hundreds or thousands of people, even if the extraordinary person has not been promoted to the fifth-level legend, it is difficult to influence the victory or defeat of a war with his own strength.

With Raymond's talent and cultivation progress, it is difficult to say whether he can be promoted to the fifth-level legend in his lifetime. Compared to becoming a general, Raymond is more suitable to be a free adventurer.
