Mount & Blade: Wind of War

Two years have passed since the defeat of the Hell Demon General Dilibu.

In the past two years, Lonely Mountain Castle and Rhodes have not been smooth sailing in terms of managing the territory and strengthening their cultivation. They have made rapid progress.

Today, Lonely Mountain Castle has become a large force with nearly 40,000 people, 60,000 slaves, and nearly 10,000 troops.

Politically, with Rhodes at the head, it is stable.

Economically, not to mention the amazing productivity brought by a large number of slaves, the entire Lonely Mountain Castle has become a large construction site, and the expansion and construction has almost never stopped.

Just the fact that this is the only stable and safe trade route connecting the north and the south has made Lonely Mountain Castle reap huge profits and make a fortune every day.

When Constat in the City of Sin established the Hell Skull Furnace, he wanted to create a wilderness with a magical riot environment again.

The entire area is full of cracks in the lower plane space, and thieves who have undergone some purgatory transformation will not be chased and attacked by demons.

Although the demons in the lower planes also killed each other crazily, they were more willing to kill relatively vulnerable humans when they came to the main material plane if they had the choice.

However, Konstart's evil plan did not succeed in the end, otherwise a large area nearby would be affected by it.

Konstart was killed by Rhodes, and the Hell Skull Furnace collapsed.

However, the plane subsidence still brought considerable negative effects. There are still many purgatory cracks in the entire Wild Plains, which can be used by small groups of Hell Demon Army to break in.

In the entire area, the only relatively safe path is the Lonely Mountain Castle where the Silver Holy Grail spreads the power of order. All chambers of commerce and caravans want to do business in the Orc Empire, or want to come back, either choose to pay business taxes through the Lonely Mountain Castle, or choose to enter the Wild Plains to avoid the pursuit of the Hell Demon Army.

Some people think that I can hire enough mercenaries to protect the caravan... Although this is possible, it is not cost-effective. How much does it cost to hire or train mercenaries? How much does it cost to pay business taxes in the city?

It cannot be said that there are absolutely no merchants with such a brain circuit, but it is also difficult to expand their business.

Military, the heavy crossbowmen of Lonely Mountain Castle are expanded, the heavy cavalry is expanded, and the elite cavalry is expanded. The Charr troops have basically withdrawn from the stage of history, except for a small number of special scouts. There is no other reason, that is, the number of Charr orcs is small, it is difficult to form a large scale, and they only exist in small numbers as special troops such as scouts and personal guards.

The Griffin troops are expanded, and at the same time, new giant shield heavy infantry troops, medium armor (sleeveless half-body armor) swordsman troops, medium armor longbowmen troops, and priest troops are added.

The giant shield heavy infantry is a third-level and ninth-level enhanced troop. It is a special troop that is trained and advanced from the light infantry that tends to be the main defense side. It is dressed in armor and holds a large shield. It has almost no attack ability, but it also has amazing defense capabilities.

Troop skill 1: Shield wall. When used, the physical defense is greatly improved for a certain period of time.

Troop skill 2: Resistance. When used, reduce the elemental damage within the area, and protect yourself and the surrounding friendly units from excessive damage from cold, fire, and electric shock.

Special note: Since most of their abilities come from the armored defense specially developed by the Lonely Mountain Castle, the dinars consumed for training are greatly reduced.

The third-level, ninth-level enhanced soldier of the Medium Armor Swordsman is a special soldier trained and advanced from the light infantry that tends to be the main attack side. They are wearing chain mail and holding two greatswords. They have excellent close-range attack capabilities, but because they are almost not equipped with shields, they lack defense when facing long-range attacks.

Soldier skill 1: Sweep. When used, it can kill up to three enemy units in the front row at the same time.

Soldier skill 2: Heroic will. When used, vitality is improved, combat effectiveness is improved, and they are almost not afraid of pain and death, but after the skill ends, their vitality will be weakened and decreased.

Special note: Since most of them were born as slaves and were inspired by the belief in light to join the army, the dinars consumed for training are greatly reduced.

The medium-armored longbowman is a special type of soldier that is advanced from specially trained light infantry. It wears chain mail and holds two longbows. It has excellent long-range projectile ability, but because it is almost not equipped with melee weapons, its melee ability is extremely weak.

Soldier skill: Strong bow. Passive state, improves projectile distance and killing and destructive power.

Special note: Since most of their abilities come from the weapons and equipment specially developed by the Lonely Mountain Castle, the dinar consumed for training is greatly reduced.

The fourth-level and twelfth-level special soldier of the light priest is a powerful faith soldier developed through the baptism ceremony of the Holy Grail of Light.

These priests are loyal believers and staunch defenders of the rule of Grand Duke Rodhart of the Lonely Mountain Castle. They rush to the battlefield to fight against pagans or any enemies who threaten the Grand Duke's rule. Because they are priests, they usually do not participate in close combat, but they have powerful auxiliary divine arts.

Soldier skill 1: Quick action. When cast, the blessed target within the range will gain faster speed and agility.

Soldier skill 2: Extraordinary divine power. When cast, the blessed target within the range will gain stronger physical strength and power.

Soldier Skill 3: Unyielding. When cast, the blessed target within the range will gain stronger life and defense.

Soldier Skill 4: Go for broke. When this spell is used, the selected target's life potential is greatly activated, but this is a spell that burns life. Once attacked during this process, the unit will pay a heavy price.

Although Rhodes did not deliberately develop the cultural and diplomatic fields, as long as the territory's politics, economy, and military are well managed, these two areas will naturally develop significantly. Admiring the strong is the instinct of life, and the nobles are even more so.

"In the past two years, as the territory has developed, the power of faith gathered by the Holy Grail has become increasingly powerful, unlocking the third hidden enchantment besides the power of order and the blood of the Holy Spirit: Holy Baptism. Soldiers who have undergone Holy Baptism will unlock the fourth-level potential. At that time, I chose between the priest and the Holy Crusaders. Although the Holy Crusaders are obviously stronger in terms of combat effectiveness, the priest system is obviously more valuable. At the same time, in order to allow James to get better development and change jobs faster, I chose the priest direction."

"The promotion and daily maintenance of high-level soldiers consume too many dinars, so although the income of the Lonely Mountain Castle is exaggerated, I can hardly save resources. I have to develop the medium-class enhanced soldiers. Although each has its own defects, they are cheap and easy to train, which are strategic advantages that cannot be ignored."
