Mount & Blade: Wind of War

The lord has the responsibility to protect his people, and when faced with repeated invasions by an unkillable hell demon, he chose to make a deal with the demon to keep the demon away from his territory. This seems to be in line with the lawful neutrality of Lonely Mountain Castle. Faction selection mode.

When Dilib was hesitant, Rhodes stretched out his hand to his ear and said, "Listen, did you hear the sound of my troops gathering?"

At this moment, Rhodes did not deceive Dilib. In the distance, there was indeed the sound of heavy infantry running in formation, coming from the distance. It was traveling very fast and getting closer.

"The defense force of Gushan Castle responds very quickly. It will not do any good to both of us if we continue to entangle ourselves. If you are willing to take a step back, then I am also willing to take a step back... Shouldn't it be the same between strong men? Join forces to oppress the weak? Why should we fight against each other?"

Challenging the strong is a behavior pattern that does not conform to the laws of nature. Ligers, tigers, bears, and leopards are all hunting herbivores. They will kill as many weak animals as they can. They really can't find other food. When they are very hungry, they will fight each other.

Because once you are injured, you need to consume a lot of energy to restore yourself. Once you are injured too seriously, it may even lead to your own weakness and death.

Even in human society, the same operating rules apply. The five gangsters of Blue Star are constantly quarreling with each other, but except for when they test each other's depth in the early stages, they almost never take action against each other. If they can extract benefits from small countries, they will Extract benefits from small countries, and if you can extract benefits from weak countries, then extract benefits from weak countries, unless there is a shortage of food or when you are extremely hungry...

Rhode's words were deeply recognized by Dilib.

At the same time, she thought: "Anyway, we didn't sign a magic contract. So what if I fall out immediately after taking back the fire ballista? At least I have an advantage over the situation in front of me."

Thinking about it this way, Dilib felt that he would definitely make a profit without losing anything.

"...Okay, then you guys quickly return my crossbow. Hurry up and don't play any tricks to delay time!"

Rhodes turned around and looked at Artiman in the distance, making eye contact.

"Lord, you can't give this crossbow to her! I have spent countless efforts on this crossbow!"

Artiman's miserable howl was heard. The voice was full of emotion and pain. For a moment, Rhodes felt that this guy was actually in the wrong profession. Instead of being an engineer, he would have a bright future as a drama actor.

"Cress!"

"yes!"

Kress followed her master's orders unprincipled. She rode a griffon and swooped down, knocking the old man down with just one blow.

Then he ordered his subordinates to carry the fire ballista down.

Soon, the Hellfire Ballista reappeared next to the Hell Demon General Dilib.

"Ah, my baby, you are finally back, you are finally back with me." He stretched out his hand to caress the Hellfire Ballista, and the ecstasy of regaining it surged in Dilib's heart.

Moreover, now that I have two powerful demonic machines, my strength has been greatly improved even in hell. This time I not only solved the problem, but also gained something.

"Hey, how dare you?"

At this time, Dilib discovered the forbidden magic on the Hellfire Ballista. His expression changed, and he immediately stretched his fingers to cover the Hellfire Ballista, instilling and breaking the ban with majestic and powerful magic.

She didn't notice that at this moment, the eyes of the human lord next to her flickered and dropped.

This kind of breaking is inevitable, because the ways of magic are ever-changing and infinitely subtle. If Dilib finds that she cannot break it violently, she will ask Rhodes to send a mage to break this ban. Otherwise, the Hellfire Ballista will In fact, the power and spirituality are reduced.

As for his own safety during the elimination process, Dilibu is not worried, because it is enough to inject energy for this kind of thing. In terms of mind, he still controls the puppets of the evil soldiers in purgatory. There is no need to worry about the sneak attacks of the humans around him. .

With the passage of time and the continuous infusion of energy, the runes on the Hellfire Ballista became brighter one after another. Boom, finally with a burst of black-purple light spreading, Dilibu could clearly sense the Hellfire Ballista. The spirituality on earth has revived once again.

"Valan!"

Dilib called out like this, but what responded to her was not the joy of being reunited between master and servant, but a beam of energy right in front of her eyes.

[Frenzy Shot/Extreme Beam Shot 2: Can rapidly fire a large number of fireballs with pure energy to bombard the enemy formation. /Can save and gather a large amount of energy to penetrate enemy targets. 】

Dilib, who had just consumed a lot of magic power, was directly penetrated by the energy light in front of his body. At the same time, Rhodes' movement flashed, and he used Moon Shadow Step again to flash behind Dilib. , hit her head hard with a hammer.

Under normal circumstances, it would have been impossible for the cautious Dilib to be unable to defend against such a sneak attack. However, at this moment, Dilib had lost his mind and it was impossible to defend against it.

"how so?"

The demon's vitality was extremely powerful, and the double powerful attack still failed to defeat her. However, at this moment, Rhodes blasted out his own fighting spirit, and the white-gold flame spread out from the center of his body like an explosion.

At the same time, Cress in midair took out the war chain and injected a large amount of blood-related fighting spirit into it. Ancient artifacts like war chains don't care whether they consume magic or fighting spirit, as long as it is energy. At this moment, the dark red gap behind Dilibu, like the wound of the world, slowly closed.

At the same time, a large number of heavy holy crossbowmen from Lonely Mountain Castle rushed in in a line. Under their joint attack, the Hell Demon Army was quickly wiped out. Even the fourth-level Purgatory Evil Soldier Puppet could not resist. The two sides were only one level apart, but the number was too different.

Bang.

Dilibu's body hit the ground heavily. Because he used a war hammer and his life was strong, Rhodes didn't smash him to death for a while.

However, from this moment on, the life and death of this Hell Demon General was completely controlled by Rhodes' will.

After solving the pressure of the northern orcs and eliminating the internal troubles of the Hell Army, a few months later, the King's Capital team led by Airen and Qiao Lin also successfully returned to Lonely Mountain Castle, bringing back a large number of poor people and more than 200,000 gold coins.

From then on, Lonely Mountain Castle entered a period of rapid development.

The glory of Lord Rod Hart, the lord of Lonely Mountain Castle, witch slayer, lion who broke through the city of sin, defender of the original human race in the wilderness, was growing day by day like the sun's sky tour.
