Mount & Blade: Wind of War

Early morning, Lonely Mountain Castle.

Two hundred and forty high-level Rhodok crossbowmen and forty Vaegir cavalrymen set out as the main force.

Most of these high-level Rhodok crossbowmen are level six, seven or even eight, because they are the elite in the army. After fighting with the hell creatures for a period of time, their level and combat power have been improved again.

However, the level and combat power of the forty Vaegir cavalrymen are quite different, because they have not been trained in this department before. Therefore, except for ten elites, the remaining thirty cavalrymen are all recruits who have been forcibly trained recently:

Vegir recruits, Vaegir light infantry, Vaegir veteran soldiers, Vaegir riders, Vaegir knights, Vaegir giant knights/behemoth knights.

Fortunately, the third-level veteran soldiers of Vigia had basic riding skills, and with the targeted training of Resarit, thirty new cavalrymen with weaker strength were trained...

Even the horses they rode were not the horses provided by the Green Language Elves, but a batch of horses purchased by Lonely Mountain Castle through human merchants. They were not very expensive, and of course the quality was not very good.

But the army needed a cavalry, and at the same time, a group of war lizard slaves and forty war giant lizards were brought into the team as logistical baggage troops and cavalry mounts.

As for officers, Rhode brought Resarit, Aileyon, Caitlin, Likia Qiusha and Janis. Resarit and Aileyon were both knights, needless to say.

Rhode hesitated and weighed whether to take Caitlin with him. Objectively speaking, Caitlin's role in staying in Lonely Mountain Castle is ten times stronger than taking her out, because there is a necromancer tower in the underground mine below Lonely Mountain Castle. Caitlin summons the army of the dead here, which is very effective in assisting in defending the city, suppressing rebellions, or dealing with other emergencies.

However, Rhode decided to take her with him after all, because he had to do his best in this mission, even if he could have a little more chance of winning.

As for Lonely Mountain Castle, even if the slaves here rebelled after the mission was completed and were counterattacked by foreign races.

As long as the sinful city of Constat was dealt with, Rhode would have the ability and confidence to recapture this place and regain control of the situation.

On the contrary, if the mission failed, it would be meaningless even if Lonely Mountain Castle was as stable as a rock.

Elf girl Likia Qiusha, raising a golden eagle has a very strategic long-distance communication ability.

As for Janice, it was her own request to accompany them this time. Rhode also knew her past hatred, so after confirming her skills and self-protection ability, he also approved it.

Rather than suffering in hatred and pain for a lifetime, it is better to find an opportunity to make a break. For Janice, her hatred has reached the point where one of herself and her enemy must die to dissolve it.

Standing on the wall of the Lonely Mountain Castle, a group of officials watched the expeditionary team gradually go away. One of them, Radshi, a skinny old man, the third civil servant who was mainly responsible for slave management, had an inexplicable look in his eyes, which seemed to be hesitant and excited.

But he did not notice that Moken behind him was watching with a cold look:

In this life, people do not encounter many opportunities. Sometimes these opportunities are both opportunities and dangers. Many times it depends on how a person chooses to deal with them.

The perspective turns back to the marching team.

Rhode rode a horse, and the weapon beside him, a one-handed military hammer, was hanging and swinging.

Next to him was a line of Rhodok crossbowmen running in an orderly manner, with their footsteps resounding.

These senior soldiers had excellent physical fitness and endurance, so in this era, the marching speed of the Lonely Mountain Castle troops was amazing for infantry.

Behind them was a baggage team consisting of forty troglodytes and forty war lizards. There was no need to worry about the troglodytes resisting. If they dared to resist, the army would kill them all without having to finish a cup of afternoon tea.

Around them were cavalry troops patrolling, guarding, and scouting, which was why Rhodes would definitely bring cavalry as long as the situation allowed.

Airen was the cavalry commander, Resarit was the crossbow commander, Caitlin and Likia Qiusha were military mages, but they only accepted orders from the lord alone, and Janice was responsible for managing the troglodyte slaves. With her ability, this was not difficult.

The team was very smooth in the process of marching in the sphere of influence of the Lonely Mountain Castle.

Although they encountered several wild boars and a bear on the way, everyone's reaction was just to thank nature for the gift.

Then, add more fresh meat for dinner.

But after leaving the radiation area of ​​the Lonely Mountain Castle, everything we saw gradually became worse.

The generation of space cracks and the radiation of hell energy made more and more animals and plants gradually violent and alienated. At the same time, this energy would revive the dead and turn into undead to attack the living.

According to ancient legends, magic was originally the ability of creatures in the lower plane. Later, there was a wise sage among humans who obtained the ability of creatures in the lower plane through deception. From then on, humans had the inheritance of magic power.

It doesn’t matter whether this ancient legend is true or not, but the description in its appendix that the undead spell was created by the devil is very likely to be true.

Because from what everyone has seen, the extraordinary energy of the lower plane can almost naturally stimulate the resurrection of the dead.

Of course, there are benefits. Rhodes, Resarit, Caitlin, Airen and other extraordinary people can feel that the efficiency of their own cultivation of extraordinary abilities has gradually improved.

Rhodes was quite surprised by this. He thought that this area was affected by the energy of the lower plane, which would limit his cultivation of the Holy Light Qi Mentality. However, when he practiced, he felt that he was not suppressed at all. Instead, his cultivation efficiency was improved.

"Is it that magic is magic, darkness is darkness, and light is light? When magic is compatible with any of the earth, water, fire, wind, light, and darkness, it will combine with it to become magic particles of corresponding attributes... or is it just because the Holy Light Qi Mentality I practice is different from other light fighting qi practitioners?"

Looking up at the sun, he shook his head. There were too few comparison parameters. In this case, no conclusion could be drawn. Even if it could be drawn, it would only satisfy himself and might not conform to objective facts.

During the journey, many undead souls were found to have revived. They would instinctively attract each other and gather together. Many hell creatures were also found. However, whether it was undead or monsters, Rhodes asked the army not to attack actively and continue to march, because if the source could not be destroyed, it would be impossible to kill them all.

After all, we still need to go to: the city of sin, Constat.
