Mount & Blade: Wind of War

Redwood Town was suddenly attacked by external forces. The bell for signaling rang. Of course, the militia troops who were out for training had to withdraw immediately. However, even during the return rescue process, Rhodes still ordered the team leader to restrain the team.

The formation cannot be broken up and the discipline cannot be disordered. The weaker the individual combat effectiveness of the team, the more important discipline is.

Then Rhodes and Raymond, who had much better physical fitness, returned to Redwood Town as scouts to investigate the situation.

While running back, Raymond was a little concerned about Lord Rhodes's speed at first, but the more he ran, the more surprised he was. He hadn't noticed it when he was training with the team before, but now he found out that Lord Rhodes was too fast. De's physical ability is actually better than his own, which is somewhat different from his previous understanding.

In fact, of course there will be deviations. Rodhart's original strength attribute is 8. Although it is the same as Raymond, Raymond trained hard and his actual attributes are far higher than Rodhart. After experiencing Silver Frost, After the battle in Chengdu, Rhodes' strength attribute had been increased to 13. Although he could not use it perfectly, he had clearly surpassed Raymond.

"Unfortunately, the later the character level is upgraded, the slower it becomes and the more experience points are required. And killing the two-headed ogre alone cannot be done again, otherwise I will lose my physical fitness in a short time. After being elevated to the level of inhumanity and supplemented by superb martial arts, it is not difficult for one person to defeat an army." Rhodes noticed the surprise in Raymond's eyes next to him, but did not care. This kind of thing would happen often in the future. Just get used to it slowly.

Of course, the army that Rhodes was thinking of at this time refers to the private army of nobles, which can range from about two hundred people to fifty or sixty or even twenty or thirty people. It does not refer to the main battle legion of the empire, which is completely Two concepts.

There are about 4,000 people in the small corps, about 20,000 in the medium-sized corps, and there are even large corps with several times the number. However, such corps are rarely seen during the African War, and the central government will not allow them. Which noble general commanded a large legion in peacetime.

When Rhodes and Raymond returned to Redwood Town, they found that the alarm had been lifted. Red blood was spilled on the snow-covered ground. Five or six giant wolves the size of calves were killed in the snow. Rhodes watched The wolf corpses, which were almost lined up in a straight line, frowned slightly, feeling surprised.

"Sir, this person who kills wolves is so powerful. During the charge, he swung his sword three times in a row and killed three wolves directly. The wounds should have been caused by swords or other weapons, but the cuts were so deep. I have never seen such a powerful person!"

Raymond also noticed what Rhodes noticed. Moreover, he was an advanced hunter and could see many details more clearly than Rhodes.

A cavalry charge of less than a hundred meters, three swings of the sword, three targets were hit in the vital points with the sword, killing them with one blow.

Ordinary people may not think it is anything, but the more people practice martial arts, the more powerful they will feel. This is what laymen see for fun, and experts see the rules.

But at this time, the townspeople of Redwood Town were gathering around to pull and dispose of the wolf corpse. It seemed that this extremely powerful knight was here to help, otherwise everyone would not be in this state.

"Sir, Lord, you are back. Several wolves suddenly rushed into the town just now, so I sent someone to sound the alarm. However, before these wolves could hurt anyone, they were killed by a wandering knight who suddenly arrived. Your Excellency took action to kill him, which delayed your training of the army." At this moment, Elder Enge walked out of Rhodes' wooden house.

When distinguished guests arrive in Redwood Town, Elder Enge can use Rhodes' wooden house to entertain them. This is also what Rhodes has allowed in advance. After all, there are not many decent buildings in Redwood Town now.

"It doesn't matter, Elder Enge. As long as no one is injured due to the wolf attack, military training can be done anytime. Is that wandering knight alone?"

"Yes, just one person. Lord, this knight has great martial arts skills and is very humble and upright. If possible, I suggest you take him in. It should be able to strengthen the defense force of our town."

"Okay, I will consider it, but I have to meet first." The wandering knight obviously left an excellent impression on Elder Enge. Before following Elder Enge into the wooden house, Luo said De glanced at the old horse tied to a wooden stake.

This is a very old horse. It is skinny and has messy fur. However, it has several obvious old injury scars on its body. At this moment, it was chewing hay with its head down and noticed that Rhodes was looking at it, so he looked up at Rhodes. One glance, then lowered his head and continued chewing hay. Its eyes are quite spiritual, and there is no hint of fear in them.

"The wandering knight is very skilled in martial arts and must be very financially distressed, otherwise Elder Engel would not be confident enough to let me hire him. But I am afraid he is a very arrogant person, and he is like a master. This person's horse has It’s unruly and shows how proud its owner is.”

Before opening the door of the wooden house and entering, these messages and thoughts flashed through Rhode's mind. Then, he walked into the hall of the wooden house and saw the wandering knight.

Raymond did not follow him in at this time. Although he wanted to follow for protection, Rhodes asked him to retreat because someone needed to inform and direct the militia troops that were rushing back.

In the hall of the wooden house, there are some simple furniture in the room. At this moment, the man who is the guest is sitting on a chair and drinking tea, and Cress is holding a teapot beside him.

This little girl is stingy like Rhode. She cherishes the small bag of tea that her master brought back from Silver Frost City very much, but at this moment, she respectfully makes tea for the man sitting on the chair.

She has reddish-brown hair and wears a light blue linen dress for civilians. At this moment, she hears the door and turns around, revealing a somewhat weathered and tired face.

"You are the pioneer lord of Redwood Town, right? I am Fatis, a wandering knight on the road of atonement..."

Rhode actually didn't listen to what this guy said later. Although he had a vague guess in his heart when he saw the back just now, when he really saw the man's face, Rhode's chest and heart were still filled with a huge emotion called "happiness".

"You don't need to introduce yourself anymore. I know your resume better than you do. One of the two god-level heroes in Mount \u0026 Blade: Warwind, and the one with the most gentle and upright character, the lowest chance of betrayal in the later stage, is called the most valuable hero to cultivate by players: Fatis the Redeemed, a 24-year-old guy with the face of a 40-year-old man."

In the online version, NPC heroes are divided into five levels by players: ordinary, upper-middle, best, famous general, and god-level.

Ordinary heroes are the most common, with basically no hero characteristics or extremely mediocre characteristics, and the attribute growth is also frighteningly low. In addition to the low mortality rate, the role of this type of NPC hero can almost be replaced by elite template soldiers, and they may not be able to beat elite template soldiers in battle.

Upper-middle heroes have certain cultivation value, or have good attribute growth or have one or two good auxiliary hero characteristics. For example, auxiliary guide bonus, such as auxiliary healing bonus, etc.

Top heroes are extremely valuable to cultivate, have extremely high attribute growth talents and powerful hero characteristics, and can completely lead an army and be independent when necessary.

Famous heroes are the original game heroes adapted from the game "Mount and Blade". Players have a certain chance to encounter these heroes that they often encounter in stand-alone games. Basically, each of them has the potential to grow into a top-level hero. Of course, there are also different levels among these famous heroes. Cress is the type that has great potential, but it is extremely difficult to cultivate, and it will be ruined if you are not careful.

In addition, due to her extreme personality, she is prone to blackening and backstabbing the lord in the later stage.

In contrast, Fatis, who has a very high growth ceiling, very low difficulty in cultivation, a very high lower limit of strength and is loyal, is simply a bearded angel.

When playing the online version of Mount and Blade, someone once offered a high price of two million to buy Fatis, and it is said that the final transaction price was more than two million and eight hundred thousand. (It doesn't matter if you haven't played Mount and Blade, but you have watched Romance of the Three Kingdoms, right? Fatis is equivalent to Guan Yu in the Three Kingdoms. Another war god-level hero, Airen, will be stronger than Fatis in the end if the training conditions are the same, but Airen is equivalent to Lu Bu in the Three Kingdoms, both in terms of martial arts and character.)

"Dear Lord Rhodes, because the snowstorm in the wilderness is particularly severe this time, many small wilderness races have to migrate to the periphery. I accidentally learned that a small tribe of gnolls is approaching this direction, so I came here to inform you to be careful. Because this tribe of gnolls has the habit of taming wolves, I am not sure whether the wolves outside just now are their scouts and advance troops."

"But according to my judgment, it should be, because there are few wild wolves in this season. to grow so big. "

"No wonder people like Elder Enger suggested that I recruit this wandering knight in front of me. He is highly skilled in martial arts, upright and humble. Unfortunately, Elder Enger doesn't know that if this guy wants to serve a certain lord, he can at least become a cavalry captain under a certain nobleman. There is no problem at all. If he hadn't exiled himself, he would not have had any relationship with the small pioneering lord in the northern border. "

As a popular character in "Mount and Blade", Rhodes is also very clear about the story background of Fatis. Fatis was originally from an upper-class noble family and was a young officer with a bright future. However, he and his brother were thinking of getting married and dating a frivolous noble woman at the same time. As a result, they were deceived and provoked by both sides. In the end, Fatis's younger brother took the lead and then caused a bloody incident.

Due to the particularity of this incident, and the fact that the tolerance of the ancient society for the killing of the younger brother by the elder brother was much higher than that of the killing of the elder brother by the younger brother, Fatis was only deprived of his originally bright future, but this man fell into a huge self-guilt, and for this reason he gave up everything he originally had and chose self-exile and wandering.

You know, in the current era, even if it is a knight with high martial arts skills, it is very dangerous to wander around alone and on a horse to fight for justice.

After the rise of the extraordinary in the future, although Fatis has great potential to become ridiculously strong, he is just an ordinary person with flesh and blood. In the most extreme case, he may be surrounded and stabbed to death by a group of farmers with dung forks.

After all, this world does not have convenient martial arts such as the Golden Bell Cover and Iron Cloth Shirt. Now Fatis is just an excellent rider and a master of spear and sword. He will not be able to bear being stabbed or cut.

Just like Rhodes, he has mastered Holy Light Qi Mind Technique and Fiery Swordsmanship internally and externally, but in actual combat he only managed to crush two militiamen who have not been trained for too long. In real combat, he was far away from Fatis in front of him. Not an opponent, extraordinary power, which requires a huge amount of resources and growth time.

"Lord Rhodes?"

"Ah!? Oh, Mr. Fatis, where did you just say? Sorry, I thought of something else at the moment."

Hearing this, Fatis's spirit was slightly lifted.

In fact, Redwood Town was not the first pioneer village he visited, but the only one who was willing to listen to him, a down-and-out wandering knight, was the young lord in front of him. Most of the other pioneer lords had no time and interest in listening to a wandering knight's nonsense. Even if they listened, they would not really make a decision that would inevitably lead to huge losses because of his words.

Although Fatis is in self-exile and wants to atone for his sins, he is not pedantic. His principle is that I try my best to save them, but if I really can’t save them, there is nothing I can do, so I will find ways to save other people.

This is also an idea that is very suitable for this world, because there are too many people in this world who need to be saved.

"I personally suggest that you lead your subjects and temporarily retreat into the empire. Even if it is difficult to leave your homeland, there is no other better way in this situation."

Rhodes, who was sitting on the chair, nodded slightly to express his approval. Then he waved and called Kress to his side, whispered something in his ear, and then let the little girl go out.

Fatis didn't mind this. He was still trying to persuade the pioneering lords in front of him that no matter how great the economic losses were, it would not be as big as the loss of a lot of lives and people's hearts.

"Mr. Fatis, how many people did you say about the wolf man tribe you observed?"

"More than a hundred people, but unlike us humans, the Jackals are all soldiers, which means they can send at least a hundred elite warriors. Mr. Rhodes, I have observed that your territory is only two With a scale of about a hundred people, it is impossible for all of them to be soldiers, and there is still a lot of labor left to engage in production. If you can come up with a militia force of thirty or forty people, it is already very powerful, and such a force is fundamental Can't compete with a small gnoll tribe."

"I have fought against jackals before, and they are indeed very powerful. However, I also want to ask Mr. Fatis to take a look at the strength of our Redwood Town."

He secretly estimated that he should be almost ready now. The little girl was always quick in doing things. Therefore, Rhodes stood up and led Fatis out of the wooden house while he was a little confused.

Then, Fatis saw more than sixty young warriors who were full of energy and high morale. They were equipped with standard weapons. Although they still lacked some bloody killings, their spirit of being warlike and daring to fight, But it is something that Fatis has never seen in many local legions.

Taking advantage of this winter, Rhodes and Raymond have been training this militia force for less than half a month. They have enough food to train with all their strength. Coupled with the "establishment of the pension system" and the "divine blessing ceremony" bonus, this force's Needless to say, there is no need to say more about the desire to fight and dare to fight.

Especially the first twenty veterans, after killing more than a hundred enemies in the battle of Silver Frost City, and after half a month of training, all of them have been promoted to level 2 soldiers. Rhodes now has a level 4 trainer bonus, even if he is In reality, troop upgrading is a hundred times more difficult than in the game. The accumulation of experience is enough when the two are superimposed.

The citizens of Redwood Town were already very loyal to Rhodes. After entering the army, the veterans led the new recruits, and their loyalty to Lord Rhodes reached an extremely high level. All members passed the system's loyalty recognition. Become a soldier who can be blessed by the system. During this month, I watched the veterans around me break through and become stronger one after another. Their hearts were also filled with the desire to fight loyally to their lord.

"Mr. Fatis, you can hide for a while, but can you hide for a lifetime? Jackals are just a group of wild beasts. If you run away from these wild beasts, is this your way of knighthood and salvation?"

"As the pioneer lord of this place, I can follow your advice and evacuate this place, but those humans who are unwilling to evacuate their land, should we let them become the winter food for the jackals?"

Rhodes had a certain understanding of Fatis's character, and Fatis knew nothing about Rhodes. Therefore, at this moment, he was shocked by his two consecutive questions, and his body was shaking. If it weren't for the question in front of him, With an army with high morale, he could still tell himself that he had no choice and continue to choose to escape. However, when faced with the human army in front of him that was completely capable of fighting, Fatis's character forced him into a dead end.

At the same moment, a row of square text that only he could see and understand popped up in front of Rhodes' eyes:

【Task Log】

[The salvation of the soul 1/5:

Your words successfully touched Fatis, but as a knight who longs for soul salvation, this level is far from enough. Please increase the favorability of the wandering knight Fatis to 60 within a week.

Currently, Fatis’ favorability: 5/60

Mission reward: 400 dinars, and Fatis will stay in your team for two months. 】

"Sure enough, it is still a series of missions. Just defeating the jackal tribe with all our strength is not enough to keep Fatis. A good old man like him can get along with most people, but it is very difficult to subdue him. It’s difficult, and it becomes harder to increase your favorability as you go forward.”
