Mount & Blade: Wind of War

"There are less than a hundred high-level axe warriors in your Fields family. Once a gap appears in the city wall, it will inevitably become the focus of the orc army's attack. In this case, your more than a hundred people are enough to die?"

This is not the time to care about face. If Hap Fields really does what he said on the battlefield, then Rhodes will have to behead him after the war.

"This..."

Hearing this, Hap Fields was slightly stunned.

"Remember, if you are in charge of this defense zone and really encounter the situation I said, immediately use the defensive advantage to lure the enemy into street fighting, and at the same time report to the commander of the defense zone to let him send troops to help. Hard blocking is absolutely impossible."

The Fields family's axe warriors, with a maximum limit of level three and level nine, are definitely top elites in the entire Styak Empire. Under the leadership of the commander they trust, the city defense infantry can kill the first and second level enemy troops and fight ten with one.

But this time they are facing the powerful warriors of the Orc Empire.

Under Kodar's training, the level of the extraordinary people in the entire Hoffman Empire is one or two levels higher than that of the Styak Empire. Although this is only an advantage for low-level soldiers and has not spread to high-level extraordinary people, it is already terrifying enough.

Especially when the human generals have not fully realized this, the degree of harm will increase significantly.

Ignoring Hap Fields who was lost in thought, Rhodes pointed to a bastion on the side and asked Rocks Paine, the man who had just made suggestions on the fortifications of the Lonely Mountain Castle.

"If you were to defend this bastion, how many rounds of shooting would you order the soldiers to rotate?"

"Well, this situation depends on the intensity of the war."

"Then answer it according to the high-intensity war."

"If it is a high-intensity war, I would choose to let the soldiers rotate after shooting seven arrows. Although the orcs are not particularly proficient in long-range weapons, the shooting skills of the centaurs are still very scary. The armored archers of my Paine family can ensure the balance between attack and survival with seven arrows per round."

Although the young man in front of him is probably much younger than himself, Locks Paine's brain is racing at this moment. As long as the Lonely Mountain Castle survives this battle, it is destined to become the strongest human force in the North. Since his family has chosen to serve, they will not easily change their choice. Therefore, his answer at this moment will largely determine his future status.

"If I were you, I would choose twelve arrows per round. The orcs' army attacking Lonely Mountain will be several times larger than ours, and they are coming with great determination. If we can't stop the orcs' siege, can the armored archers of the Paine family drive those attacking orcs away again through close combat? The fortifications of Lonely Mountain Castle have been built very well. Lockes, you can let your soldiers fight harder."

"Yes, Lord Duke, you are more reasonable." Although he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, Lockes Paine quickly chose to bow his head. Their family is very good at crossbow defense. Lockes still thinks that he is more familiar with this kind of warfare than the person in front of him. This bow is a bow to power and status.

Rhodes didn't care whether the other party listened to his words or not. Anyway, when it comes to the real battle, if there is any mistake here, Rhodes will not care about killing people. At this critical moment of life and death, there is no friendship to talk about.

Then, Rhode asked questions to the elite descendants of the other two families one by one, and found out the problems one by one. At this time, a knight riding a black horse came slowly from a distance.

"My Lord Duke." Resarit turned over and dismounted, saluted Rhode.

"Well, Knight Resarit is still so diligent."

In the previous foreign wars, Resarit often served as the commander-in-chief. Although his command style was conservative and rigid, it was not a disadvantage in the city defense war, but an advantage.

At this moment, even Rhode was hesitant about whether he should be the military commander of this war. Resarit was obviously very eager.

However, Rhode knew in his heart that Fatis and even Kress's military capabilities were actually better than Resarit.

Of course, the commander-in-chief position of this battle must not be given to Kress, otherwise the army might mutiny.

In this era, women have no status.

Rhode can make Kress a knight and lead a small legion to assist in combat, which is already the limit. Let her be the commander-in-chief?

Even if Resarit's loyalty is not low, he will probably be so angry that he will abandon his post.

If the post of commander is given to Fatis, although Resarit's loyalty will decline, he will not be too upset. Fatis's ability in all aspects is also obvious to all.

"As the only legendary combat power on our side, Fatis may not be able to command with peace of mind. Even if his military ability is actually stronger than Resarit, it is probably not suitable. Let Resarit do this. I will check for omissions and make up for the shortcomings on the side. There should be no problem."

Thinking of this, Rhodes stepped forward and patted Resarit on the shoulder, encouraging him:

"Although it is hard, please Knight Resarit should be more attentive. I entrust the life and death of myself and Lonely Mountain to Knight Resarit."

"My Lord Duke, Resarit is willing to fight to the death for you!"

As a general, Resarit's eyes were red at this moment. He was eager to make achievements and leave his name in history.

Resarit himself knew that his talent and intelligence were not very high. When he was in the academy, his performance in all aspects was not as good as Fatis. It was precisely because he felt the hesitation in Duke Rhodes's heart that Resarit frequently inspected the overall defense of Lonely Mountain Castle in order to be familiar with it.

In the word "diligent", Resarit really did his best.

Today, he got the promise from Duke Rhodes himself. Although he did not state it directly, for the nobles, this promise was no different from saying it directly, and Duke Rhodes's record in credit was perfect.

The goal he pursued all his life was right in front of him, and Resarit was of course excited.

At the same time, Rhodes suddenly popped up a system prompt:

[The attitude of the growth hero Resarit towards you has been upgraded to enthusiasm. ]

[The fifth hero characteristic of the growth hero Resarit is being generated. 】

For these two consecutive system prompts, Rhode was quite surprised, because he knew very well that Resarit's personal potential was much inferior to those of the first-line generals such as Fatis, Airen, and Cress.
