Mount & Blade: Wind of War

Chapter 138 Surprise Attack

The next day, after a night of rest, the alien coalition forces in the wilderness built a fire and cooked, and then marched out again.

If nothing unexpected happened, they would be able to see the town, the former mountain fortress and the current lonely mountain castle, before tonight.

If nothing unexpected happened.

When the alien coalition forces were slowly passing by, a large number of crossbow arrows suddenly rained down from the slopes of the nameless hills beside them.

Almost at the same time, some of the bear heavy infantrymen in the second formation in front had already fallen into a deep trap. Even though they were lucky enough not to be killed by the wooden spikes in the trap because of their heavy armor or the backrests of other bearmen, the depth of the trap made it impossible for nearly fifty heavy bearmen to climb out for a while.

"How could this happen? The sheepmen heavy infantry at the front clearly passed smoothly! I understand. The person who set the trap calculated the load of the trap, so the sheepmen heavy infantry at the front were fine because they were lighter."

The Charr Archer Corps was not a pure archer unit. They were not completely focused on shooting, but maintained a certain light-armored melee ability and the ability to set traps on the basis of using bows and arrows. They were all-rounders on the battlefield.

The six sons of the forest chose to set traps, cooperated with Rhode's computing power, and the execution of other units. If they wanted to trap, they would trap the bearmen heavy infantry, which was the most threatening to them in the alien coalition. Although the bearmen were a strong fighting race and the elite among the elite, their number was relatively small. There were only more than 200 in the entire coalition, and not all of them were heavy infantry. This time, nearly 50 were trapped in a row, and the loss was heavy.

Such elite losses are enough to make any commander's teeth break.

"What's going on? Where are the scouts? How do those scouts do their job?"

The mysterious black-robed man on the warhorse was furious, but he didn't know that the wild orcs never paid much attention to the establishment of scouts. If it was a large tribe, it would be fine, but the military knowledge inherited by small and medium-sized tribes was quite limited, and even the tribal chiefs often found it difficult to recognize the importance of scouts.

Therefore, except for a small number of centaurs, most of the scouts of this alien coalition were made by the weakest vassal race, the sheep people.

Although they worked very hard, the gap in strength between the fifth-level son of the forest and the first and second-level sheep people scouts was too big. This gap in strength could not be easily eliminated by hard work.

In addition, Rhode was very careful. In order to gain the first-hand advantage, he even completely exhausted the magic power of the accompanying wizard. With such multiple aspects, it was normal to have such a situation in front of him.

"Защитаотдоспехов (armor protection)!"

Although he was furious, the mysterious man in black robe knew clearly that at this moment, in the rain of arrows, it was definitely not the time to hold the scout responsible for his incompetence. He suddenly threw out a handful of white-green powder from his sleeves and chanted a spell.

The next moment, the powder turned into a faint green light that enveloped him. In this way, even if a crossbow arrow shot at him, it would only cause a sudden bright light pattern, but it would be difficult to cause real damage.

One hundred and eighty Rhodok crossbowmen, of which forty had been promoted to level five Rhodok sharpshooters, one hundred and sixteen level four Rhodok senior crossbowmen, and twenty-four level three Rhodok skilled crossbowmen. When they came out this time, each of them was overloaded with four bags of steel crossbow arrows. At this moment, they were not afraid of insufficient crossbow arrows at all, and they shot crazily from a high position.

Where the attack was directed, it was simply a storm of death.

At the same time, the Black Armor Swordsman Unit and the Redwood Town Elite Unit all began to charge downwards under the leadership of the commander.

Because they completely occupied the initiative advantage, the army of Lonely Mountain Castle could carry out targeted attacks on the targets they wanted to attack.

Just like a master who was good at butchering cattle in the previous life, the blade pointed and penetrated the gap with no thickness.

The Rhodok Crossbowman Unit with the strongest attack power attacked the Bear Infantry Unit not far away, which they could attack but the opponent could never attack them. They were also the biggest threat to their side in the next defensive battle. Now they should kill as many as they could, and it would be best if they could wipe them out completely.

The Centaur Archer Unit below, which was closer, had no chance to raise their bows to attack the Rhodok Crossbowman Unit on the hillside.

Because the Redwood Town Charr Elite Soldiers had already rushed down the hillside with the Dark Swordsman Unit, completely involving the powerful Centaur Archer Unit in close combat.

As the first troops to follow Rodhart, the elite soldiers of Redwood Town are basically at the maximum level except for the Charr Archers: the Charr Guards are at the maximum level 5, and the Haidam Death Swordsmen are at the maximum level 5.

The Dark Swordsmen have been trained by Rod during this period. They are either trained madly under Resarit or go to battle every time. Therefore, after the Centaur Alliance Battle, even if it is difficult to upgrade, now after more than half a year, forty-five people have been promoted to the fourth level of Dark Swordsmen and mastered the ability of "Dark Fire".

The remaining four people, two are Yannick and Remo Mac, both of whom have been promoted to the fifth level of Dark Followers during this period, and the other two are new swordsmen who have insufficient training time.

Although the Dark Swordsmen are a level 4 soldier, their black iron armor is light and strong, which greatly increases their combat power. In addition, they are rare in number and have similar circumstances. They get along with each other day and night and are like brothers. Such an army will not be inferior to any level 5 soldiers in the world, and may even be stronger.

"We are trapped in darkness and will pursue light for our whole lives!"

Before the battle, as the two young leaders Yannick and Remo Mac held their swords in front of their foreheads and prayed silently, the other Dark Swordsmen followed and completed the prayer together.

Twenty-nine level 5 Char Guards, six children of the forest, ten Haidam Death Swordsmen, and forty-eight Dark Swordsmen of Lonely Mountain Castle who can completely match any level 5 soldiers were suddenly attacked by such a melee force.

Although there were many Centaur warriors in the alien coalition, the whole army was still in chaos.

Some centaurs wanted to fight back with bows, but before they could shoot an arrow, they were approached by the elite and terrifying human warriors. Some centaurs drew their scimitars to fight in close combat, but before they could engage in close combat with the human warriors, they were shot in the head by a crossbow arrow that suddenly shot from the hillside.

"Calm down, calm down, hold your bows and meet the enemy!"

Although the centaur leader of the alien coalition screamed and tried to calm his men, I'm afraid even he was in chaos at this time.

At this moment, should he hold his bow or draw his sword?
