Mount & Blade: Wind of War

"Ready, shoot!"

Accompanied by the command, the crossbowmen around the city pulled the trigger with a cold look, and the crossbow arrows shot out one by one.

At this point in the war, the military objectives of the senior generals of Lonely Mountain Castle have been fully achieved.

So the new recruits withdrew from the battlefield, whether they were crossbowmen with almost no rank or heavy-armored ogres who were in a sluggish state after being triggered by rage.

At this moment, the real main forces of Lonely Mountain Castle were on the field to harvest.

The third-level and ninth-level Rodok Holy Heavy Crossbowmen, officially known as the Rodok Holy Defenders, are already powerful troops. After being equipped with the Holy Light Armor, the defense and holy power are improved, and the combat capability is greatly improved.

After the blessing of the fourth hidden enchantment of the legendary holy relic Silver Holy Grail, the light attribute troops are upgraded by one rank, that is, the fourth-level and twelfth level.

Under these multiple blessings, these Rodok sacred heavy crossbowmen have a calm mentality, the holy power in their bodies is surging, and they feel light as if they are wearing heavy armor, and even the attack frequency is greatly increased.

As for the ancient orcs below, they practice the extraordinary knowledge that Kodar obtained from the lower plane through blood sacrifice. Although the progress is rapid and the power is huge, and although the orcs will not fall directly into dark creatures after practicing, there is still some restraint in between.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh.

The dense and terrifying sound of breaking through the air brought about the fall and blood tide like cutting a wheat field.

The ancient orc berserkers of the third level and ninth level of the troop class are already very powerful, but facing the sacred Rodoks who control the three-arrow continuous siege heavy crossbow, they are not that powerful.

Especially at this moment, they are surrounded and ambushed, and their morale and anger are all extinguished by the raging crossbow arrows around them.

Not only were there direct crossbow arrows from all around, but there were also longbowmen in medium armor shooting from all around. It was not just direct shooting and shooting. In this case, there was no need to hide. Several crossbows fixed on the city wall began to aim downward.

All-steel parts, compact structure, steel crossbow arms are divided into three sections, inverted bow shape, connected by energy storage mechanisms composed of springs and gears. Each part was carefully polished to have a smooth surface, and under the shining of the sunset, it emitted a layer of faint blue reflection.

Atiman himself is an extraordinary engineering master. After he came to Lonely Mountain, he even proposed some modification suggestions for the heavy crossbow design that had been tempered by Lonely Mountain Castle. After choosing to be loyal to Rhodes, how could he not manufacture a large crossbow?

The city defense crossbow designed by Atiman has two types of crossbow arrows, one is winged arrows, and the other is spiral armor-piercing arrows. Winged arrows are large arrows like spears, with huge wing blades on both sides. Once fired, one person dies on the ground, and it cannot be stopped before the kinetic energy is exhausted.

The spiral armor-piercing arrow is a sharp weapon for attacking. It can directly nail into thick steel plates within the range. Even a fifth-level legendary warrior may not dare to take two arrows.

There is a passage from the city wall to the inner city. In fact, there is, but this is not a flaw, but the military strategy of "surrounding three and leaving one, leaving a way out".

With these narrow passages, the enemy warriors who are in a frenzy are unwilling to retreat easily, because there is a possibility of attacking, but in fact, there must be elite soldiers deployed in these narrow passages.

Rhodes sent the dwarf blood beard gold armor guards (fourth level twelve) to garrison, and the light priests (fourth level twelve) to assist in the rear.

The only shortcoming of the Dwarf Bloodbeard Golden Armor Guards is their short legs. Besides that, they are good at both offense and defense. The priests of light bless them with the two magics of "extraordinary power" and "unyielding tenacity". In addition, the advantage of the narrow passage makes it impossible for the enemy to play the advantage of numbers. In this case, anyone who runs into them will be hit and bleed.

The ancient orc berserker rushed into the city and was gone.

The ancient orc slayer rushed into the city and was gone soon.

At this moment, the Lonely Mountain Castle is like a slaughterhouse, a giant meat grinder in operation, efficiently carrying out a terrifying one-sided slaughter.

Even if it is a terrifying evil creation, twenty cyclopses rushed in with the orc army. In the face of this desperate situation, their only role is to hold on for a little longer.

General Dals outside the city gradually realized that something was wrong until more than 20,000 people were continuously invested.

These 20,000 people were the psychological expectation that it was willing to pay for the siege. However, the reality was always more terrifying than imagined. After 20,000 people were put in, General Dals gradually found that he seemed to have walked into some kind of fatal trap.

"It's almost done. Even if it is slow, it should have reacted. Let's launch a heavy cavalry charge."

Wearing heavy armor and a purple robe with gold patterns, Rhodes was on the wall of the inner city, looking at the dead bodies and blood in the inner city. He was calm and a little indifferent and gave orders.

There was really nothing to feel good about. This was a war between different races for living space. The other side was an invader, and we swore to defend our homeland to the death. Do we still need to have any psychological burden?

"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke."

With Rhodes' order, the iron bars of the inner city rose, the city gates opened, and then a heavy dragon cavalry unit rushed out from the inside, and its momentum was as fierce as a fierce dragon crossing the river.

A powerful fusion of troops formed by the combination of the third-order, ninth-level heavy cavalry, the blood-soaked dragon knights, the elite human giant knights and the giant war lizards with rare dragon blood.

This unit has hardly been used since its establishment. It has been very expensive but has not achieved any military success. There is some controversy among the people, but no one in the upper echelons of Lonely Mountain Castle has ever mentioned cutting the expenditure of this unit.

Because most of the upper echelons of Lonely Mountain Castle are senior knights, they know too well that the heavy cavalry is useless if it is not used. Once it is used, it will be unstoppable with thunder.

The bloody dragon riders who have been accumulated for so many years will serve as the vanguard, followed by the giant knights, the dark knight legion, and more than a thousand elite cavalry.

The core cavalry of this Lonely Mountain Castle are the two powerful knights, Fatis and Airen, two war god-level heroes in the Wind of Mount and Blade War. Heroes like Yannick and Remo Mike are not qualified to be the main generals in such an army.

At the moment the city gate opened, Airen, who had been preparing for a long time, swung out a dazzling red light.

"Dark Thunder!"

The dazzling light shot up into the sky, quickly turning into a lightning cloud covering a small area, and then continuously struck red thunder from below, with great power.

This was already a high-level magic of the dark system, and Airen would not be able to perform it if he did not have enough time to prepare.

And at this moment, it was performed, and the thunder fell from the sky, clearing the road for the heavy cavalry regiment, and further suppressed the already low morale of the orc army.

The orc vanguard outside the city had already begun to hesitate after the lives of more than 20,000 elite warriors were continuously devoured by the Lonely Mountain Castle, which was like a black hole. At this moment, the Crazy Dragon Heavy Cavalry Unit rushed out with terrifying power, and the front of the troops was directly aimed at General Dals, the current commander of the orc vanguard. Because of the relative advantage of the air knights, the orcs had difficulty in knowing the situation of the Lonely Mountain Castle, while the Lonely Mountain Castle had clear intelligence on the orcs.

Until the moment when Fatis led the cavalry to charge out of the city, General Dals completely gave up the lucky fantasy in his heart.

Although it couldn't understand why the low-level human army could defeat the orc warriors in a frontal street fight when the city was broken, Dalles knew very well that he was defeated, and completely defeated.

In order to attack the city, General Dalles not only sent out the elite combat forces of the moving army, but also almost disrupted the siege formation. Now most of the advance army was blocked outside the Lonely Mountain Castle, and they couldn't withdraw even if they wanted to. At this moment, they were wantonly killed and swept by the strange and fierce heavy cavalry of the human race, and blood flowed like a river.
