Mount & Blade: Wind of War

A man in a fur coat who looked like a pig came out with a bulging belly.

Since he did not bring any weapons to the banquet this time, he snatched an axe from the hand of the decorative armor on the wall. This was not a decoration.

"My Lord, please let me go into battle."

At this time, Fatis had come to Rhodes' side and stepped forward, but he did not have time to speak, and Airen, who was fully armed with a light armor and a sword, had already said so.

Seeing this, Fatis stopped fighting.

It is natural for a newly promoted guard knight to fight for the opportunity to show himself. On the contrary, it is a loss of status for Fatis to fight for the opportunity for a newcomer to stand out, and it is not in line with his character.

"Well, Airen, be careful."

Rhodes nodded and agreed to his application for a guard knight.

Now Airen's personal level is not too high, but the foundation is here. He is the most potential hero in the Wind of War. In addition to his personal character, he has almost no shortcomings in all aspects. It is appropriate to send him to fight in all aspects.

In the banquet hall, a smaller arena soon spread out.

Both humans and orcs have the tradition of real sword fighting. Of course, humans have gradually used wooden swords to replace real swords, so they are despised and ridiculed by orcs.

In the northern provinces, the use of wooden swords in real sword fighting is far less than in the central and southern parts of the empire, especially in the Lonely Mountain Castle, where there is even a huge arena. In such a border area, even fewer people use wooden swords in real sword fighting.

After getting Rhodes's consent, Airen did not go on the field directly, but walked to the side, took off his armor first, and gestured to his opponent to show fairness.

Compared to the rough thief with a spear, Airen was much better in appearance and demeanor. In addition, he was from the Lonely Mountain Castle, so as soon as Airen entered the field, he received cheers and applause from the people around him.

"Are you ready?" The man with the spear and axe asked.

"Good"

Before Airen finished speaking, he saw the opponent's weapon with a strong wind hitting him. This move was between sneak attack and no sneak attack.

Fortunately, Airen's reaction and judgment were decisive and quick. He quickly held the long sword with both hands and rushed out with his body low.

Clang.

The long sword held the long pole of the spear and axe at an angle, and with a burst of sparks, Airen rushed quickly. An inch longer is an inch stronger, an inch shorter is an inch more dangerous. There is no such proverb in this world, but the principle is the same.

The first key to long swords against axe and spear users is to close the distance and seize the most suppressing opponent and the most powerful attack distance of their own swordsmanship.

"Awesome!"

They were all dangerous characters. Just from the opponent's charge speed, the fat leather-robed man could tell that the young knight in front of him was very powerful.

Under normal circumstances, even if the opponent's strength could withstand his attack, he would have time and strength to withdraw his weapon and swing it again, or even control the distance between the two sides. But this time, the opponent not only could withstand his attack, but also rushed at a terrifying speed, leaving him no chance to withdraw his weapon.

Short-range burst, charge speed, this is accumulated by hard work, and a step forward in actual combat means a huge difference in actual combat power.

"The winner is decided."

Even Rhodes thought so. The long-handled weapon user was snatched into the attack distance suitable for himself by the swordsman, which in itself shows the difference in strength.

The rest is just garbage time to see how long the opponent can hold on.

"No... not right!"

In front, just as Rhodes, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, thought, the fat man who was approached by Airen had no time to withdraw his weapon and could only jump and roll back in a very embarrassed manner.

Jumping and rolling, these actions are very dangerous in cold weapon combat, because they cannot respond and exert force in the first time. Once these actions are performed, it is very likely that the opponent will chase and kill him, and there will be no chance to turn the tables.

"Ah ah!"

"Get out of the way!"

Accompanied by the exclamation, the guests watching the battle scattered in all directions, leaving a larger open space for the fat man to roll and swing back his weapon.

However, Airen was determined to win this battle. He once again exerted force on his feet and suddenly burst out, suddenly grabbing the opponent's close body, holding the sword high with both hands and slashing down.

At this time, the fat man who had just stood up from the tumbling state had no chance to fight back. There was an absolute speed difference between the two sides in a relative time. Airen could attack him, but he had no chance to attack Airen...if it was under normal circumstances.

But at this moment, while the fat man was rolling up, his skin was dark red, his muscles were rapidly expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even a faint white airflow was ejected from his mouth and nose.

Bang!

Airen, who had an absolute advantage a moment ago, was hit hard and flew backwards at this moment.

Because the opponent directly gave up using weapons and used some secret method, his speed and strength were improved. A punch as fierce as a siege stone hit Airen's cheek heavily, knocking the genius knight back and falling heavily to the ground.

When a person's head is hit hard suddenly, the whole person will fall into a state of dizziness and shaking. Very few people can break free from this state and regain control of their bodies with strong willpower.

At least under Rhodes, only Fatis has such power (iron will), and no one else, including Rhodes himself, can do it.

Of course, the holy light and fighting spirit can help him reduce injuries and wake up faster.

Airen has been trained as a knight since he was a child, and his willpower is definitely much stronger than that of ordinary people. Therefore, although he was stunned, he still instinctively struggled to stand up, wanted to defend himself, and regroup, but the opponent did not give him this opportunity and pounced on him.

At this moment, Airen's eyes were shaky, and the sword in his hand was useless. In an instant, his lower abdomen, head and face were all hit by heavy punches. Just when the fat man was enjoying the fight, he gathered his strength in his right fist and planned to destroy the boy in front of him with one punch.

Suddenly, a figure flashed before his eyes, and the next moment, his heavy punch was caught by a broad hand. The power he was proud of disappeared without a trace at this moment, like hitting an endless ocean.

"You, you are... Fatis!"

The fat man finally saw the person in front of him clearly, and cold sweat flowed down his face in an instant. The whole person quickly woke up from the bloodthirsty and frenetic state.
