Mount & Blade: Wind of War

"The wind blew up the dust on the grassland,

brushing the curtains of your tower,

The moonlight illuminates my drunken journey home.

I see you sleeping soundly in that pavilion,

If I cry to the wind,

Can it take away the message from my lips?

If I cry bitterly before the moon,

Will it let me peek at you? "

Late at night, guests come and go in the tavern in Silver Frost City.

As the bard skillfully plays the strings in his hand, a sad and touching love poem flows and sings.

This song "The Story of Keith and Leyala" tells the story of the young sheepherder Kes and the noble girl Leyala who love each other, but due to the gap in identity and status, they can never be united.

The bard's skill was quite profound. After reciting a poem, some of the more emotional female guests in the tavern began to feel sad with red eyes.

However, the more male guests were a little scornful.

"If there really is such a noble girl, and I love her and she loves me, then I will join the army for her. Not to mention becoming a big shot, at least become an officer. It will not be so difficult to be with my lover. "

"It's okay if Lyala is a young lady from a declining noble family. If Lyala is a young lady from a great noble family, even if you become an officer, the gap between you and the other party will not be reduced at all. Your father I will teach you with a whip, don’t dream, Qiao Na from next door is also very good.”

"Hey, singer, haven't you ordered any new poems? There are just a few here and there. Here's one we haven't heard before."

In the tavern, someone shouted to the bard.

"Of course there are new poems, but I have just compiled them. This is the material that I risked my life and finally obtained from the chaotic border."

The bard said this somewhat cunningly. His eyes occasionally glanced at the gauze curtain in the corner of the tavern, where the distinguished guests drank. It was relatively cleaner and more elegant than the environment outside. At the same time, if you wanted to make money, , it is much easier and more likely to get it from these distinguished guests than from the common people who drink rye wine.

The bard, his little idea soon succeeded. The waiter came out carrying a wooden tray with a delicate and small bag. Originally, the bard was a little disappointed when he saw this small bag. But as soon as I opened it, my face was illuminated by a golden light.

"Thank you sir for the reward, thank you sir for the reward!"

At this moment, the bard was in a state of panic. Although the distinguished guest was generous, he also had a bad temper. If he failed to sing well in the next performance, he might have his legs broken and thrown into a smelly ditch. , then this bag of gold coins can be used for his medical expenses.

“On the cliff of Lonely Mountain Castle, the light of fire pierced the darkness…

The centaur army was charging, arrows hitting the stone walls.

War armor, iron sword, purple silk robe, the Lord of Gushan Castle stood there,

The witch said: "Surrender, you can't defeat me!"

The centaur general said: "The iron hooves of our warriors will crush every inch of your bones."

You said: "Humanity will never surrender until death."

Crossbow arrows ride on the wind, black-armored swords flutter,

Brave Fatis knight, kill the foreign generals on the city.

Proud Knight Raymond, your eyes and arrows are unstoppable.

Rodhart, the Lord of the Lonely Mountain Castle, the witch-killer, and the defender of the human race in the wilderness, you shouted at the top of your lungs and ran to your brothers and sisters to fight side by side.

The sharp crossbows, gorgeous silks, brave warriors, and the city on the mountain built on blood and glory tell the foreigners that we can no longer be bullied! "

Along with the singing, scenes like a legendary epic slowly unfolded in front of everyone's eyes. For a while, even the men huddled in the corner of the tavern playing cards fell silent. Who wouldn't like the poems of human heroes?

Boom, boom, boom, at the moment the poem ended, waves of applause appeared. Many drinkers began to throw coins at the bard and asked at the same time: "Is that story just now true?"

"It's true. A pioneering lord appeared in the Land of Chaos. He led mankind to resist the enslavement rule of aliens and established the glorious city and the city on the mountain. During this time, many villagers in the Northland have fled there. The lord of the glorious city and the city on the top of the mountain does not collect taxes. If someone in your family joins the army, he will give you land and alien slaves for your family to use. "

While the bard was busy picking up the coins, he took time to answer questions from the drinkers around him.

"Isn't that better than our policy in Silver Frost City?"

"Are you stupid? What kind of place is the Land of Chaos? Even if you work as a beggar in Silver Frost City, you won't go to that kind of place. Maybe one day your heads will be cut off and piled into a hill."

"If we humans were all cowards and cowards like you, everyone would have been slaves to the orcs for a long time. Now they are being whipped to work. Your wife will be enjoyed by the orcs first, and then it will be your turn. None of your cubs are yours."

"Fuck you, what did you say!"

"What did I say wrong? Coward! Coward!"

The two drinkers started fighting, and the others didn't care. As long as they didn't use their swords or kill anyone, the town sheriff didn't care about these things.

However, on the other side, behind the gauze curtain of the tavern, two ladies, Isa and Martha Pace, were drinking wine with ice and watching everything happening outside.

"Rod Hart! In less than two years, he captured Xiagushan Castle almost from scratch, and also gathered such a huge crowd. He is indeed the top hero among the human race." The silver-haired and red-eyed man The girl raised her head and drank all the wine in the glass in front of her, with a slightly unwilling and lonely look on her face.

"Your Highness, you are the youngest daughter of the city lord. If you want to have your own business, you don't need to take unnecessary risks. I have also investigated Rod Hart's resume, and it is almost impossible for him to succeed. It’s both ability and luck. Even I am not sure that I can defeat Magna, the harpy witch.”

"No matter what, the sudden appearance of such a human hero among the pioneering lords of the North is an implicit threat to my mother's plan. According to the information, Gushan Castle is not selling heavy crossbows, silks, and slaves to external parties. Is that enough for silk and slaves? All the heavy crossbows they produce are purchased through our Chamber of Commerce. There is no need to further increase the power of the northern human noble lords during this period. "

A weapon as destructive as a heavy crossbow, in the hands of a farmer, can pose a threat to a knight who has been trained in martial arts since childhood. If the northern pioneer lords have too much equipment, it will certainly not be a good thing for some forces.
