Mount & Blade: Wind of War

Chapter 11 Relics, Dusty History

Potential bursts, breakthroughs are made on the spot.

It is said that practitioners who have polished their bodies or minds through long-term exercise, after long-term accumulation of their own potential, have a certain chance of gaining some kind of epiphany in fierce life-and-death battles and extreme environments, and bursting out the power hidden in their bodies. come out.

This is a classic passage in many chivalry novels, and it is widely loved by new and old readers because of its hearty feeling.

"Are you...are you kidding me?"

"Am I just a supporting character in this book, and the ogre in front of me is the protagonist!? I feel like I've discerned some incredible truth!"

Right in front of Rhodes, the heavily armored ogre warrior was stuck in a gap in the stone wall. After more than a dozen crossbow bolts were nailed deeply into its fat head, it actually died just before death. The potential in his body finally exploded and he went crazy for the second time.

The muscles around it expanded rapidly, even bursting and splitting the skin, and the whole body changed from blue to dark red, causing the surrounding stone walls to make cracking sounds.

Then, right in front of Rhodes, a second head slowly squeezed out of the ogre's chest in a weird and terrifying way: this was the most distinctive symbol of a top ogre - double heads.

If the two-headed ogre is a spellcaster, then it can rely on its innate ability to cast multiple spells to upgrade low- and mid-level spells with ordinary power to spell power that is impossible to achieve under normal circumstances.

If the two-headed ogres are pure warriors, this situation is even rarer but also more terrifying, because they will master a skill that is more terrifying than most spells: double rage, secondary madness!

At the same time, as the second head drilled out of the chest, the exaggerated vitality of the ogre in front of him that could not be shot to death was also explained. I am afraid that the head that was constantly under attack was already dead. The real control at this moment The body is the head that just emerged from the opponent's chest.

"We can't let it rush in. I have no way to retreat. If it rushes in, I'll be dead!" He raised his head and glanced at the cracking and shattering stone wall. He was no longer fighting against the current. What if he was fighting against the current? If he could swim, he might still have a chance to survive, but he was at the end of his rope and was in a desperate situation.

Looking at the surrounding stone walls that were constantly cracking as the two-headed ogre struggled with all its strength, Rhodes knew that the gaps in the stone wall might not be able to restrain him for much longer, so he took out two steel crossbow arrows from his arrow bag with a wry smile. Then adjust your breathing and hold it with your backhand.

"Ahhhhh!"

The next moment, a meaningless roar came out of his mouth, which was full of desire for survival. Then Rhodes threw away all unnecessary weight on his body and rushed forward, using the crossbow blade in his hand to assassinate the two-headed ogre.

He calculated very clearly in his mind that his melee attack power would never be higher than that of a heavy crossbow, but if he charged forward, the irrational two-headed ogre would attack him first instead of trying to break free from the stone wall.

"The double madness is indeed extremely powerful, but when the madness ends, the backlash of weakness will be more serious. If it is stuck here, it will bleed to death. I only need to delay for a while. I only need to delay for a while to survive. Go down!"

The time when Rhodes came to this world was still too short. Therefore, although all the knowledge and memories of his predecessor were fused and swallowed up by him, martial arts, a skill that requires physical practice and a skill that requires hands, eyes, and courage, Rhodes' inherited understanding is still Not satisfactory. However, the advantage of Rhodes over his predecessor is that he has much greater knowledge and willpower. He was an old monster who lived for more than ninety years in his previous life. Once he makes up his mind, he is very decisive in executing it.

Life is a journey and a practice. Some people spend their lives just like this, but some people can gain something and gain insights.

When Rhodes was in his nineties, he was still able to arrange his life to be fulfilling, comfortable and satisfying. This is something that most people cannot do.

Holding the crossbow bolt with both hands, the force of the strike was more fierce and severe. Rhodes rushed forward to fight with the ogre who was half stuck in the body. He chose to fight in close combat, even though one of the ogre's arms was thrust in. He swung and smashed hard, but he never succeeded in letting the other party really catch him.

As time went by, even though he was smashed against the nearby stone wall again and again, causing blood to flow from his mouth and nose, Rhodes' mood gradually stabilized. He knew that as long as he continued to delay like this, he would eventually be consumed to death. The person here will most likely not be me.

"Fortunately, in this state, this guy couldn't exert force comfortably, otherwise he would have been beaten to death after being hit so many times with such force."

Just as this thought flashed through Rhode's mind, the surrounding stone walls began to crack and crack again.

Rhodes was stunned when he heard the sound, and suddenly looked up, only to see stones falling one after another from the surrounding stone walls. Finally, with a roar, a large stone fell down. Seeing this, Rhodes had to retreat quickly. , watching helplessly in the dust and dust, a terrifying bloody beast walked in step by step with red eyes.

Although the choices he made were correct from beginning to end, just like the last straw that broke the camel's back, in the close fight between the two just now, the surrounding stone walls still couldn't bear the two heads. The ogre's violent power caused it to break open the gap and widen the gap.

"Now, there is absolutely nothing we can do."

The thought flashed through his mind, and this terrifying ogre didn't give Rhode any chance to react. It rushed forward, and the bloody fist drew a slight parabola in the air, and then hit Rhode's chest accurately.

Absolute power brings absolute speed, so this punch can be called fast, accurate, and fierce!

Once there is no terrain clamp, the real strength gap between the two sides is like a world of difference. Rhode was blasted back like a cannonball and hit the stone wall heavily. Despite this, he still tried to raise his head and open his eyes, watching this terrifying fat man with blood all over his body like a demon god, punching him.

"I didn't expect it to end so easily. It seems that this is not the brain in a jar world, because I will really die."

"I really don't want to die. Mingming, I was lucky to get a young body. Mingming, every morning when I wake up, little Rhodes is full of energy. Brother, as your big brother, I'm sorry for you."

Although he knew it was a dying struggle and meaningless, when the two-headed ogre's second heavy punch came, Rhodes still put his arms and knees together in front of his chest and made the strongest defensive posture he could.

Boom!

The huge force hit him, and for a moment Rhodes felt that his soul was about to be knocked out of his body, but at the same time, the sound of the entire stone wall cracking never stopped. The next moment, the stone wall behind Rhodes and the stone wall under the feet of the two-headed ogre broke almost at the same time. The man and the ogre rolled down at the same time, entangled and rolled into the almost bottomless darkness below.

On the other side, the Redwood Town militia, whose morale was high because of Rhode's decisive choice, fought bravely under the leadership of Raymond. After a bloody battle, they finally defeated the vassal soldiers around the heavily armored ogre warrior at the cost of one death and one disability.

This was not easy, because those gnoll warriors were also very difficult to deal with.

Then the Redwood Town militia, led by Raymond, followed the ogre's footprints all the way to the mine area. They even found the old black travel horse, but failed to find the whereabouts of their lord.

Because Raymond's reconnaissance and tracking ability was pretty good, but he finally found a completely collapsed mine area, and the clues and traces that could be tracked were completely cut off here.

"Find, we must find Lord Rhodes. If we can't find him, don't go back. Let's die here!" Raymond was very clear about the status of his lord in the hearts of the people of Redwood Town. If the lord took him and others out, but the lord didn't go back and he and others went back, then no one would think of raising their heads again, not to mention that the lord was in such a dangerous situation to protect him and others.

"No matter what, we must find the lord."

Raymond was not the only one who had this idea. Almost all the militiamen in Redwood Town thought so. From that day on, these militiamen in Redwood Town began to search for their lord in this area, persisting day after day, almost without sleep.

In this process, some troops from other territories also met them. However, seeing this, all the pioneering lords expressed their respect, and some even took the initiative to leave some food and water supplies for them to replenish.

From the perspective of the pioneering lords in the northern border, of course, they hope that their troops can be so loyal. Of course, such things should be praised and publicized, but almost no one thinks that Lord Rodhart is still alive. It is too difficult to survive when he is being chased by a heavily armored ogre warrior alone.

As time goes by, the battle of Silver Frost Town is gradually coming to an end. Some people have begun to advise Raymond, who leads the Redwood Town militia, to give up, but what they get is the collective rejection of almost all the Redwood Town militia.

That lord will never die silently like this.

Lord, your people who are loyal to you are still waiting for your return.

………………

"Ahem"

"Dandan? Dandan!"

"... I remember that Dandan is not in this world."

"Am I traveling through time again? Now I am in the mother's womb cultivation system?"

The body below the neck is almost unconscious and unable to move. It is dark all around. Rhodes tries his best to look around, but he can't see anything.

In a trance, he didn't know how long it had passed. Rhodes felt like he was asleep and not asleep. He felt like someone was watching him, so he tried to open his eyes, but in the end he saw nothing. After a while, a piece of text that seemed to be composed of blue fireflies appeared in front of him:

Question, there are a number of elves and griffins in the same cage. Counting from the top, there are 35 heads, and counting from the bottom, there are 94 feet. How many elves and griffins are there in the cage?

Rhodes: "..."

At this moment, Rhodes' inner world collapsed. He didn't know how many mythical beasts were galloping past. He just felt that he was crazy and didn't want to pay attention to these things in front of him, so he closed his eyes and wanted to sleep for a while, but it was dark all around, without light or sound.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, it could be several hours or less than two minutes, Rhodes opened his eyes again, and he found that the blue light in front of him was still there, and it was still the problem of the damn head and feet.

"If this is a game of brains in a jar, if I have a chance to get out, I will beat up those researchers one by one. If this is a novel, if I have a chance to get out, I will throw the idiot author of this book into a gay bar and let him be raped a hundred times, a hundred times!"

After this period of rest and recovery, Rhodes realized that he should not be dead yet, because although it was pitch black around him, the pain from his severely injured body had been transmitted, wave after wave like a tide of pain, but it also made people conscious. At the same time, he could gradually feel the part of his body below the head. Although it hurt, it was a good thing.

(Total number of legs - total number of heads × number of elves' legs) ÷ (number of griffins' legs - number of elves' legs) = number of griffins

(94-35×2)÷2=12(number of griffins)Total number of heads (35) - number of griffins (12) = number of elves (23)

Solution: If there are x griffins, then there are (35-x) elves.

Then there are 35 - 12 = 23 elves

Solution: If there are x elves, then there are (35-x) griffins.

Then there are 35 - 23 = 12 (griffins)

Answer: There are 12 griffins and 23 elves.

Although I don't know what I will face after doing these things, it is better to have variables than no variables, and it is better to have a chance to live than to die.

Because of the long rest, pain came, Rhodes supported and raised his right hand, he kept tapping in the void, and solved the problem in front of him.

However, after solving this problem, the light around did not become brighter, but the ground under him began to vibrate and shake, accompanied by a series of sounds like elevators taking off and landing, Rhodes vaguely felt that he seemed to have fallen a lot.

Then, the blue fireflies in front of him soon appeared again, and rearranged a problem that was much more complicated and difficult than the previous one.

"Fuck, fuck! My math knowledge is basically only at the junior high school level. I can't do this problem."

He roared at the darkness around him.

This one was still a math problem, but it was obviously much more difficult than the previous one. It involved geometric mathematics and functional mathematics, which was somewhat beyond the math knowledge that Rhode still had. After all, for most people, the peak of pure knowledge reserve is the third year of high school. After graduation, there are not many opportunities to use math above elementary school.

Rhode tried to do it twice, but found that he couldn't solve it for a while, so he raised his head and closed his eyes and ignored it, and fell asleep again.

After a while, I don't know how long it has been. When he opened his eyes again, Rhode found that the surroundings were still dark and silent, but the math problem in front of him was shining, which could be said to have no change at all.

"Okay, you win."

After a long pause, Rhode finally shook his head and continued to ponder over the problem. Fortunately, the problem in front of him was just slightly beyond his mathematical knowledge. If he worked hard and pondered, he could still solve it.

After solving this problem, Rhode, who was already weak, almost collapsed. The space around him was slightly oscillating and sinking again.

"No matter who you are, that was already my limit. I have, I have no other way."

Faced with such words, the darkness around was silent, just constantly descending, and it was unknown where it would eventually reach.

At the same time, in the study room of Silver Frost Castle, the real Silver Frost Lord, the silver-haired and red-eyed girl knight Isa, was reviewing the war report documents accumulated during this period. The great success of this coalition operation has basically met all the strategic demands of Silver Frost Town.

It has established prestige among the northern pioneering lords and has at least won 20 years of peace for Silver Frost Town. Of course, this is only for the wilderness race.

At this moment, the substitute of the silver-haired and red-eyed girl, the elegant and graceful beautiful woman Masha, pushed the door open and walked in. Her fair face was flushed with excitement. Holding a document in her hand, she walked quickly to Isa's desk.

"Isa, the exploration and mining of the ruins have finally made significant progress. Master Daven can confirm that at most in half a month, our exploration of the sage civilization will reach the core area."

"Really? That's great. Just completing part of the exploration of the outer surface has allowed us to obtain the flint gun manufacturing technology and advanced steel smelting technology. If we can obtain all the heritage of this sage ruins, my Frost Moon Town will definitely be able to develop into a large city that is not inferior to Bright Moon City." Even though she is quite good at calming down and nourishing her qi, the silver-haired and red-eyed female lord is still moved by the good news she just received.

As the core descendant of the northern nobles, others don't know, but Isa is very clear that this world once had a glorious history that has been lost.

Thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago, this world was ruled by an extremely great power. Otherwise, this world with so many different races would not have shared a common language. Although there were some regional differences, creatures of different races could still communicate.

Even the goblins, who are now despised and looked down upon by the world, once developed an extremely great civilization thousands and tens of thousands of years ago. Some noble historians even deduced that the end of the ancient god era was the result of the cooperation between the most powerful arcane masters and goblin sages. Therefore, many ancient ruins in this world are buried with terrible inheritance.

"I am not greedy enough to want to gain power that can rival the gods, but I want to gain the power to control my own destiny." After calming down a little, I walked to the window of the castle and looked at the bright white moon outside the window. Isha Karasa clenched his fists tightly and thought: "This time, I will never lose to you again."
