Mount & Blade: Wind of War

At midnight, the silver moonlight illuminates the world.

The wilderness, the city of sin.

Two days after Fatis ordered Raymond to lead the main force to retreat, changes appeared in the city of sin in front of him.

The two heavy steel gates built between the rocky canyons slowly opened, and teams of cavalry ran out from them. If you look closely, you will find that their exposed skin has traces of being burned by flames, but they have strange smiles on their faces, as if they are looking forward to the upcoming bloody massacre.

Of course, they are the ones who slaughter others!

"Cress, you lead the Griffin Knights to test their strength first. Remember, you can only test them with long-range attacks. You are not allowed to lead the Griffin Knights to charge!"

"Yes, General."

Although Cress is unruly and bloodthirsty, she will not embarrass the strong on the battlefield. Cress has a strong hierarchy of superiors and subordinates in her heart. At the same time, she respects the strong very much, and Fatis, as a teacher and coach, is a strong man.

The entire military camp quickly "came to life", and fierce griffins took off one after another. This was natural. Normally, they were the most elite and responded at the fastest speed.

After soaring into the night sky, Kress found that the bandit cavalry had rushed to the midfield. This speed was not normal at all.

However, the intelligence obtained by such observation was limited after all, and only fighting could understand the real truth.

"Flanking on both wings, interfering with throwing, but not charging, not allowed to engage in direct combat."

"Yes!"

Flying itself is a strategic advantage. The air force is in the first place when fighting ground forces. Of course, this also requires high technology. Mobile shooting is already an advanced combat skill. Attacking the opponent while moving at high altitude is even more difficult.

Therefore, even when Kress is making such an attack, she will not specifically select a certain person, but will throw randomly towards the place where the enemy gathers the most. In most cases, she herself does not know who will be attacked.

But even so, when the spears and axes whizzed in, the bandit cavalry that gathered and charged were still shot down one after another. Many people were even hit by the spears and flew backwards, and then fell down one after another.

"Disperse, disperse."

"Fight back!"

Amid such scattered shouts, the running bandit cavalry dispersed, and some people fought back with bows and crossbows while riding and running.

However, riding and shooting is very difficult. In fact, even the soldiers of nomadic peoples find it difficult to shoot freely on horseback. This is different from the cognition of most people. In reality, many archers do not shoot on horseback, but run for a while to keep a distance, then dismount to shoot, and when the enemy is close, they get on the horse and run for a while. The bow and the horse are actually separate.

In such chaos, a griffin knight was accidentally shot by a scattered arrow, and the next moment the arrow burst into fire and ignited the armor of the griffin knight.

"Ahhhhh!"

In the intense pain, the knight first poured out the fire with his water bag, but for some reason he could only suppress it but not burn it out. Soon the water in the water bag ran out. The knight's reaction was decisive and ruthless. Seeing this, he quickly drew his sword and cut off a large piece of his flesh, then threw it away to save his life.

Not only attacking, some thief cavalrymen would quickly burn from the inside out after being knocked off their horses by long-range throwing, and quickly burn themselves into a flaming skeleton until their entire bodies were completely broken.

Among the griffin knights, Kress was the strongest and had the highest throwing level, so the enemies she shot and killed saw this the most.

"What is going on? What happened to these people?"

It's very slow to describe, but in fact the battlefield changes rapidly. After a brief fight between the knights of both sides, the thief cavalry regiment successfully rushed into the army camp at an abnormal speed.

They leaped over the spiked wooden stakes with howls and roars, and lit the torches they carried with them to set the surrounding marching tents on fire. This was a classic ancient battlefield tactic: burning the camps.

Since ancient times, fire and water have been merciless and have killed countless people. As long as such a tactic is used successfully, a weak force can even defeat a superior force, not to mention that the side of the City of Sin is superior.

"Ahhhhhh!"

"Ahhhh..."

The thieves and cavalry screamed strangely like excited beasts, but as the flames rose and the camp was lit, they gradually stopped screaming.

Because although the camps were successfully burned, the enemy did not flee from the tents in panic: this was an empty camp, and most of the troops of the Lonely Mountain Castle had withdrawn at some point.

At this moment, raging fires ignited from all directions. While the army retreated, Fatis arranged many fire starters in the camp. Although the number of fire starters was not too large due to limited logistics capabilities, it was quite impressive at this moment that they were burning on all sides.

"All troops, charge!"

At this time, Fatis led the dark armored cavalry and rushed out from a hidden place on one side. The whole army rushed towards the enemy cavalry that had been stagnant, and the offense and defense changed in an instant.

At this moment, Fatis ordered the messenger to wave the torch as a signal and gave Kress the combat order to coordinate the charge, because a steady stream of soldiers from the City of Sin were still rushing out of the city. In order to swallow up this elite thief cavalry in a short time, it was necessary to be fierce enough and leave no room for them.

"Holy Barrier, open!"

Putting the ancient cross sword in front of his forehead, the next moment, along with the spread of holy light, a thin layer of light curtain covered the bodies of more than twenty dark cavalrymen around and behind Fatis.

This is additional armor, which can effectively reduce the attack from the enemy.

As for why only twenty people around are strengthened, it is because the pressure of counterattack as the sharp edge is the greatest. It is not because Fatis's cultivation is not enough, but there is a selective focus on the forward.

The dark armored cavalry, although the total number is not large, this time Fatis brought all out, only 80 units, but they are fierce and powerful, and can be called the strongest cavalry unit of Gushan Castle, at least for now.

But this time, the counterattack with full tactical advantage was not a happy killing. The number of thief cavalry in front of them was only over 200. Under normal circumstances, the dark armored cavalry would only be a one-sided and rapid slaughter when facing such an opponent.

Today, with the help of the Griffin Knights, the Dark Armor Cavalry's sharp sword seemed to be cut into a piece of frozen meat, not only sluggish but also in danger of being shattered.

"What's wrong with these guys? Speed, strength, and the ability to burn with fire all over their bodies... Is this how ordinary soldiers feel when facing us? These guys are just like us."

Yannick and his friend Remo Mike are both adjutants of the Dark Armor Cavalry. Usually, the Dark Cavalry commanders like Fatis and Resarit have to be replaced from time to time, but the adjutants in a unit rarely change.

Yannick has now been promoted to a fifth-level Dark Follower, and has mastered the Dark Fire. At this moment, seeing that the battle situation is in a stalemate, and the follow-up cavalry of the City of Sin in the rear (the ones rushing the camp must be elite cavalry) are rapidly approaching the battlefield, if they are entangled, the consequences will be very terrible.

Therefore, Yannick shouted: "Remo, go all out!"

"Good!"

Yannick, who used a two-handed sword, and Remo Mike, who used a sword and shield, both entered a crazy state of attacking without defending.

Relying on the sacred barrier and the high defense of the black armor on their bodies, they killed the opponent in front of them head-on. Such a radical and crazy style of play certainly played a momentum, but it also made the defensive energy of the sacred barrier on their bodies quickly dissipate, and finally, it was broken with a bang.

However, at this moment, when the light on Yannick, Remo Mike and other dark cavalry who chose to attack aggressively exploded, a blazing dark fire suddenly burned from their hands, bodies, and weapons.

These black flames can even devour the surrounding flames to obtain higher temperatures and higher lethality.

Coincidentally, the same is true for the elite thief cavalry. They have obtained the characteristics of hellfire, and their strength and speed have been greatly improved. At the same time, they can control the hellfire to attack the enemy.

However, although these betrayers were blessed by hell and gained powerful strength, they were not real hell creatures after all. Their talents were forcibly improved, and their combat level could not be compared with the creatures that grew up in hell.

In addition, Fatis and Kress, who led the battle, were both extremely powerful generals of the time. Before the follow-up cavalry from the City of Sin came up, the elite thief cavalry in the camp finally collapsed first.

However, this battle caused all the dark armor cavalry and the Griffin Knights to suffer losses, and also made Fatis and Kress feel the exaggerated improvement of the enemy's strength.

"Did you choose to borrow the power of the devil? But even so, I will kill you all!" When riding away on his horse, Fatis turned his head and looked at the City of Sin. What flashed through his mind was the evil thieves who turned into flaming skeletons but still fought endlessly.
