Mount & Blade: Wind of War

Two days later, after two days and nights of rest, the elite troops of Lonely Mountain Castle, plus 400 auxiliary soldiers, totaling nearly 620 people, went out in full force.

Although two days and nights of rest were far from enough to soothe the fatigue, the elite was still the elite, and with Lord Rodhart personally leading the army, all the soldiers suppressed their fatigue with high spirits and morale. They believed in their commander and believed that they would once again win a hearty victory under the leadership of the lord!

After all, the elite troops of Lonely Mountain Castle were just tired from repeated expeditions, while the wilderness alien coalition forces had been starving and biting each other in the wild for two days and nights, which seriously weakened their combat power and morale.

A few days ago, they were comrades who fought side by side, but now they or their comrades have become meat cooked in a pot. Even if this choice is in line with the tradition of the wilderness, most intelligent creatures will find it difficult to accept and swallow.

But what if they don't eat it?

The daily consumption of thousands of people in the wilderness is terrifying, especially the war lizards of the bear people, the war lizards, the centaurs and other strong fighting races.

Some people would say that the war lizards raised by the war lizards seem to be able to save the emergency. This is true, but the war lizards have to be willing. Without these large war lizards, the individual combat effectiveness of the war lizards is inferior to that of the sheep people. At that time, they will change from predators to prey. Any rational upper class will not make such a decision.

It is too stupid to hand over the right to decide the survival of your own race.

Following the tradition of the law of the jungle, the war lizards, the bloodfang tribe, the bear tribe, and the centaur tribe almost unanimously pointed the tip of their weapons at the sheep people.

Because this is the race with the weakest combat power, after the survival problem is solved, the wilderness will still face the problem of the invasion of the human race in the lonely mountain castle. At that time, the remaining races and tribes may unite, even if, at that time, they will unite and migrate as a whole family.

When the Lonely Mountain Castle's army arrived at the battlefield, they faced this situation. The sheepmen found a defensive position and struggled to hold on. They were attacked by the War Lizards, Bloodfangs, Bearmen and Centaurs in turn, and their bodies were looted.

These races had to do this, because if they didn't, they wouldn't even have enough food to return to their respective nests. The little food that Rhode deliberately left was not enough to share. When the coalition forces besieged Commander Fatis's army in the Nameless Hills, they were stuck in the gap where the last supply was completed and the second supply had not arrived. Then Rhode burned their supply base.

If they didn't kill a lot of people to fill the food, how could these thousands of orcs on the wasteland go back alive? If they didn't care, maybe only half or even less people could return to the tribe's nest.

When the Lonely Mountain Castle's army appeared again, the alien tribes, who had already killed red eyes, were shocked, and then they remembered that this real beast still had some strength left.

Rhode took steady steps and led 600 men to set up a battle formation on a small hillside. However, no matter whether it was the troglodytes, gnolls, bearmen or centaurs, they were a little afraid to go up at this moment. They had fought before and knew how strong the defense of the legion in front of them was.

But if they didn't take action, Rhode was even less anxious. You guys continue to starve. Anyway, I have the main city behind me. The longer I delay, the weaker your morale and combat power will be.

"Humph, who would have thought that the so-called alien coalition would save us time. After this battle, all the alien forces near the Lonely Mountain Castle will be wiped out, and we don't have to attack them one by one."

In the military tent, Raymond, a young man carrying a scimitar and a bow, looked at the hanging simple map and said so.

"Don't relax too much. Hungry and injured beasts are the most dangerous. But I agree with one thing. Now is the best opportunity to eat them. Kill them all here. Those nests scattered in various areas don't need us to eliminate them. They will most likely die naturally."

Why?

Because all the young and strong in the tribe have been killed, even if there is still a tribal territory left, the old, weak, women and children left behind will find it difficult to survive in the harsh wilderness.

"Lord Rhodes, can we consider subduing this sheep tribe? At this moment, we just formed a situation of attacking from both sides. According to Lord Fatis, this sheep tribe seems to be excluded and bullied in the foreign coalition. If we can offer relatively generous conditions, maybe we can make them completely turn to us."

On one side of the simple map, Resarit stroked his beard with his hand and made such a suggestion to Rhodes, which made Rhodes realize that his subordinates, including himself, are almost all combat heroes, and there is not even a diplomatic hero who majors in persuasion.

A highly persuasive and mature diplomatic hero is very terrifying. At least in the game, there is even a chance to persuade a force that is only slightly weaker than you to surrender. Although the chance of success is not very good, once it succeeds, it will almost double your own strength.

At the same time, it is also very suitable for the current situation.

"Isn't it too risky to persuade someone in this situation? Especially since Mage Caitlin is not here. If she were here, this plan could be tried."

For a warrior, two days of training, although cramped, is acceptable, but for a mage who has exhausted his magic power, it is undoubtedly unacceptable: the mage does not keep vigil, and the mage is not in a dangerous position. It is the prerogative of mages, for they are rare and powerful.

Even Rhodes couldn't do anything about this, especially in the early stages of his development and when he only had one mage, he could only believe what others said.

"Sir Rhodes, since I proposed this plan, then let me go. I have always been favored by you, but I have never had a chance to repay you." Lesarit said politely. He was serious. Thanks to Rod for his kindness.

"Lord Rhodes, let me go with Lessalit. I have fought against the goatman clan leader and have some understanding of it. If you send me another twenty black-armored swordsmen, I am confident that even that goatman can If the clan leader doesn’t accept the persuasion to surrender, he can come back with Lesalit.”

At this time, Fatis, who had been silent in the military tent, spoke up. He also felt that this was really a good opportunity and should not be missed.

"...Well, since you two are so confident, let's go. But you must remember to ensure your own safety as the first priority." Rhodes thought for a long time before slowly answering and agreeing.
