Mount & Blade: Wind of War

Due to the high morale of the people in Lonely Mountain Castle, and the fact that the attacking party was the bloodthirsty ancient orc army, there was basically no possibility of surrender.

If the nobles betrayed and surrendered the city, there was still this possibility, but the civilians definitely did not have this opportunity.

Therefore, it was easy to mobilize a large number of young and strong people to come to the city wall to assist in defense, and there were even many sheep people and lizard people among them.

They carried supplies and carried the wounded, and of course, more of them took stones and threw them under the city wall.

With the height of the city wall of Lonely Mountain Castle, even if it was simply a high-altitude throw, an ordinary person held a stone as big as his head and threw it down, and a second or third-level ancient orc soldier was hit on the head firmly, and it would not be able to bear it.

That's why it is said that the elite middle-armor swordsman group, at least so far, their number of kills is not as high as that of auxiliary soldiers, and even if it is auxiliary soldiers, Rhodes tries to use regular army recruits as much as possible, because killing people with stones can also gain killing experience.

The main fighting force on the walls of Lonely Mountain Castle is still the Rhodok Holy Heavy Crossbowmen. Their chief commander is the first knight of Lonely Mountain Castle, Fatis, and they are led by Airen, Atiman, and the supplementary general Bandak who was just recruited by Rhodes.

Hero characteristics:

Eagle Eye, with better vision, can quickly capture the characteristics and weaknesses of the opponent and kill with one shot.

The trolls are resurrected. Due to the troll blood inherited from his ancestors, he has a recovery ability far beyond that of ordinary humans, but correspondingly, his resistance to damage from fire, lightning, and strong acid has decreased. 】

As a level 12 hero template character, Bandak's personal attributes are undoubtedly average. However, his characteristics are very interesting. When the magic tide rises, the rich and powerful learn magic, and the poor rely on blood.

Although it is cruel to say this, in fact, take the heroes under Rhodes as an example:

Fatis, Resarit, and Airen all have good family backgrounds. Fatis and Resarit graduated from the Imperial Royal Military Academy. Although Airen hired a tutor in the family, the economic expenditure of hiring a tutor is more expensive than attending a military academy.

Cress, Raymond, and Yamila all have the blood of the magic race flowing in their bodies. Yamila is of half-elf descent, and her affinity for magic is naturally stronger than most humans. Cress and Raymond have a thin orc descent, which makes their strength and speed talents better than most humans.

In Mount and Blade: Wind of War, Bandak, as a civilian soldier, will become a famous general in the future. His own efforts are one aspect. When the magic tide rises, the magic bloodline in his body is revived, which is another very important supplement.

"From the two characteristics of Eagle Eyes and Troll Resurrection, Bandak's ancestors should be a hybrid of elves and trolls. Trolls and ogres are close relatives. This guy should be able to lead the Ogre Guards for me after training for a period of time."

The hybrid of magic races is not all good. Like Bandak, who inherits the advantages of two systems in the bloodline at the same time, he is an extremely rare lucky person.

More hybrids do not inherit any racial advantages, and even only inherit disadvantages, such as the low intelligence of trolls and the low strength of elves.

Just like Bandak's personal innate endowment is very strong, his descendants are likely to have weak talents. For example, the safe way to deal with it is to strengthen the blood of the trolls or elves and stabilize it to a certain extent. For example, the radical way to deal with it is to marry a large number of wives and give birth to a large number of offspring. With a large number of offspring, although most of them have poor talents, there will always be outstanding talents who can inherit the family.

Of course, this kind of thing has nothing to do with the battle at this moment. For Rhodes, Bandak is just a good person.

For Bandak, he felt that his experience in the past few days was like a dream. First, he offended his immediate boss, Rocks Paine, who was secretly rumored to be the illegitimate son of the head of the family. Then, when he was drunk, he pulled someone over to talk, and was inexplicably hired by the lord of the Lonely Mountain Castle, Duke Rod Hart.

Now, all the troubles that were originally worried about are gone.

How dare Paine go against the will of the Duke? It's just a soldier from your family. This is a reward for your family's glory.

Bandak didn't understand why Duke Rhodes was so fond of him that he was even willing to negotiate with Viscount Paine in person. Bandak, who was still far from mature, just knew that he should die for the Duke with the crossbow in his hand.

He took off the hard leather armor of the Paine family and equipped himself with the heavy armor of the main force of the Lonely Mountain Castle, the Holy Light Armor, put down the heavy crossbow, and replaced it with the three-arrow continuous heavy crossbow.

Although he felt that as one of the commanders, his physical fitness and even skills were not as good as those of the elite crossbowmen he commanded (the third-level and ninth-level Holy Defenders, who had the fourth-level quality under the blessing of the Holy Grail), but if it was just a competition of crossbow skills and practical experience, Bandak felt that he was not inferior to others.

Crouching at the shooting position, Bandak aimed downward with the crossbow, and with a high degree of concentration, the pupils in his eyes slowly expanded.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Three arrows were fired in a row. The three steel crossbow arrows were like they had eyes. They hit the gaps in the armor of the three ancient orcs with great accuracy and pierced steadily into the arteries, causing the blood mist to explode and the huge body to slowly fall down.

"Good!"

Bandak was surrounded by cheers from other heavy crossbowmen. This three-arrow shooting skill was definitely worth cheering for.

The army has always been a place with clear hierarchy. The status between the strong and the weak is proportional to their strength, even the relatively scattered mercenary groups are no exception.

Especially the army of Lonely Mountain Castle, because it was built a short time ago, it has not formed a complex factional relationship. Although Bandak is an airborne commander, he quickly gained respect after showing his skills. This is pure that Bandak has never felt before.

When serving in the Paine family before, whoever has a closer relationship with the main family among the armored archers has a higher status. Even if that person actually has no ability, as long as he has a relationship with the main family, he can get a position.

This situation, at least in the current Lonely Mountain Castle, does not exist.

While Remo Mike fought hard and Bandak gradually integrated into the sacred heavy crossbow rear troops, Airen encountered trouble.

An orc master concealed his own strength and took a few elites to charge the city among the orc soldiers.

This is very dangerous, because even if it is an extraordinary warrior, if he does not burst his own fighting spirit, he is also a mortal body. If he is shot in the aorta by a crossbow arrow, he will die, and it will be too late to burst his fighting spirit at that time, which will only make him die faster.

But the orcs were fierce and sturdy. There were such high-level extraordinary people who were not afraid of death and followed the ordinary soldiers to charge up. After they went up, the orc suddenly burst out with fighting spirit, cooperated with the elite warriors around, and rushed with swords. The long-halberd hunters of the Ravenston family could not stop them.

Airen happened to lead people through this area of ​​the city wall. Seeing that the people of the Ravenston family were in danger, he certainly would not sit idly by. He ordered the crossbowmen to cover behind him, and then drew his sword and charged up.

This is a very classic battle method in the extraordinary era. The commander blocked the opponent's strong men to prevent the opponent from rushing into his own soldiers and killing them, lowering morale.

Then the crossbowmen behind him continued to pour out attacks. In this way, no matter how powerful the opponent was, the fighting spirit consumed was definitely much more than letting the soldiers go up for close combat.

When two extraordinary warriors fight to a certain extent, their fighting spirit cannot be circulated, and then one of them is shot in the vitals by the other's crossbowman, and the two sides are instantly determined. This situation will become more and more common in the future. As I said before, high-level extraordinary warriors are very strong, but as long as they have not been promoted to the legendary realm, they may be directly killed by stray arrows on the battlefield.

Even for fifth-level legendary extraordinary warriors, after consuming too much of their own strength, the probability of such accidental death in battle is constantly increasing.

Of course, the crossbowman's shooting skills are extremely poor, and it is difficult to stop shooting their own generals.
