Mount & Blade: Wind of War

Abby is a wilderness goblin. As a goblin, she has her own name, which shows her extraordinary origin.

Abby's father was once captured by humans. Some relatively wealthy farmers in the northern border sometimes adopt one or two goblins to guard their homes. Although they are not as powerful as dogs, they are more humane than dogs and eat less.

Abby's father's eyes always shine when he describes that period of time. He tries to describe how warm his nest is and how delicious and rich the food left by his master is.

When the master's family was the richest, they once kept two goblins at the same time, and the second goblin was Abby's mother.

Unfortunately, not long after that, a sudden fire burned everything. Abby's father watched the master rush out with a pitchfork. Before leaving, he turned around and yelled at the woman and the child to hide, but he himself never came back.

After the chaos and the fire, the home was gone, the whole village was gone, and the haggard hostess, holding a child and carrying a child on her back, really couldn't take care of them anymore, so she let them go.

Abby's father relied on his instinct as a goblin, eating insects and weeds, and returned to his people, although Abby knew clearly that her father never liked them.

Later, Abby was born. Abby's father learned from his former master, raised his first son high, and gave him a name, which was a treatment that Abby's brothers and sisters did not have.

Because he could eat more from a young age, because he had been loved with all his heart, Abby was stronger and smarter than other goblins from a young age.

As a goblin that was raised by humans, Abby's father was rejected by other people of the same tribe, but Abby was not. He gradually grew up to be the leader of a small goblin tribe, and tried to leave some food for his increasingly aging parents.

When his father died, he lay on the stone slab and held Abby's hand, asking Abby to take care of his brothers and sisters. At that moment, Abby realized that his father might love his brothers and sisters, but he could not give them more love.

When ruling a small tribe of goblins and competing with other goblins for territory, Abby's tribe accidentally discovered the battle between the ogre tribe and the lizard tribe. The weak ogre tribe was exterminated by the powerful lizard tribe.

This kind of thing is very common in the wilderness. Abby led his tribe to search the ogre tribe again after the lizard left, originally wanting to find some corpses and remains as food for the day.

However, the goblins accidentally dug out two living blue fat fats from under the soil. Originally, according to the convention in the wilderness, they should have been eaten, but that day, as the leader of the goblins, Abby looked at the two blue fat cubs in front of him, and finally made a decision that surprised him: he decided to feed the two fat men alive. That was really a hard time that he could not bear to look back on.

Fortunately, the goblin tribe found the two blue fat cubs in spring. During this period, the food in the wilderness was still rich, with plenty of acorns, various berries, and tuberous plants, and there were many rabbits, as well as lizards, squirrels, jungle mice and various birds.

After the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn, the two blue fat cubs had grown fat and plump. At least ordinary goblins were not their opponents at all, and Abby also relied on the control of the combat power of the two blue fat cubs to maintain and consolidate his rule.

In this process, Abby discovered that to be the leader of a powerful tribe in the wilderness, it was not necessary to have powerful power. As long as he could master powerful power, it was enough.

With this idea as the guiding ideology, Abby led his tribe to conquer the rat tribe first, and then conquered the dog-headed tribe, which was relatively weaker than himself at this time. After completely wiping out the gnoll tribe that refused to surrender, the goblin Abby found that he was actually the most powerful tribe in this area.

At the same time, a legend of a goblin with evil wisdom has begun to spread in the wilderness.

"I see, I conquer!"

Just when the goblin king Abby was the most ambitious and full of ambition, a human caravan of astonishing size appeared in his sight.

That was the prey.

In the eyes of those who are slightly proficient in military theory, this battle should not have happened at all.

Before, because of the extremely harsh environment and high mortality rate, the human caravans willing to cross the wilderness were all gamblers who were about to die in the human world. How much capital could they have?

A horse, a knife, and some scattered goods were already the limit.

And the Atlan Chamber of Commerce caravan led by Arlos, the caravan leader led a total of 50 caravan guards and hired crossbowmen, and 50 senior slave traders wrapped in full chain armor on their horses and their own bodies. Just the heavy armored cavalry behind them, the slightly weaker imperial lords were no match at all.

Of course, they normally wouldn't wear armor, otherwise, this caravan would be too conspicuous and not conducive to daily travel.

However, under such circumstances, a 200-unit wilderness coalition consisting of ratmen, goblins, murlocs, and kobolds surrounded them: it can only be said that ignorance is fearless.

They obviously regarded the caravan in front of them as a human caravan that used to trade in the wilderness.

When the caravan passed through a snowy valley, the ratmen who had prepared for an ambush took the lead in pushing the boulders that had been arranged long ago down the valley, and at the same time they shouted loudly in all directions to create momentum.

However, the caravan in the valley was not moved at all and had no feeling.

"They actually know how to set up an ambush and create momentum to deter the enemy. Considering the level of the wilderness race, this is already a rare level of military command."

The female knight Ruier rode her horse to guard beside Arlos, and swept away the stones as big as human heads that rolled down from the valley with a swing of her sword.

After encountering the "ambush", the caravan quickly surrounded the carriages in a circle, and then drove all the livestock to the center and surrounded them.

The fifty caravan guards alone were already difficult for the wilderness race in front of them to defeat, and their main function in the caravan was to transport goods, and fighting was not within their main responsibilities.

"Mr. Arlos, do we need to take action in this 'game'?"

At this time, a strong man riding a chainmail warhorse and covered in thick armor came to Arlos and asked respectfully.

This man is the leader of the senior slave traders in the caravan, but he has no sense of existence in front of Arlos, and he is also very polite and cautious.

"Well, just prepare twenty riders as support. Although I have some confidence in the Knights of Rhodes, it is not good to let them lose too many people here."

"As you say, sir. Your will is our direction." The tall and strong leader of the slave traders performed a noble salute that was not very elegant and standard before leaving.

Seeing this, Rui Er, who followed Yalos, chuckled. After the other party left, he couldn't help but say: "Master, it seems that Mr. Gunnarsser has begun to learn the etiquette of the nobility. But it's no wonder. He has been pursuing something for his whole life. After climbing up to the master, he finally has some hope."

"It's just a normal request for ordinary people. Compared with Mr. Gunnarsser, I am more interested in Lord Rhodes. If he performs well this time, I can consider putting the long sword on his shoulder and allow him to offer his loyalty."

When Yalos was chatting and laughing with his personal guard Rui Er, the fighting in the front had already begun.

Along with the rolling stones around, a large number of hobgoblins, fishmen, and dog-headed men ran out on the hillside with weapons in hand, and behind them was the generation of goblin overlords, Evil Abby, surrounded by a group of armed goblins.

Two fat and blue ogres were carrying a bamboo basket on their backs. The goblin overlord Abby was waving a sharp scimitar in one of the bamboo baskets, roaring to see his army crush all obstacles.

However, the cold reality appeared in front of it.

I saw the charr spearmen in the distant Redwood Town holding a shield in one hand and a spear in the other. One of them squatted forward and the other moved forward. In a short time, they arranged a solemn defense formation, forming a defense formation with sharp spikes.

"My warriors, crush these humans!"

Abby roared while waving a scimitar on the hillside, while controlling the largest number of armed goblin troops to gradually advance.

The painstaking efforts of these years were not wasted in vain. Among the goblin army of Evil Abby, there are not only a large number of elite goblins, but also bear goblins who can be called goblin heroes (PS: Goblins, goblins, bear goblins, combat power and wisdom are usually improved step by step, but the number is inversely proportional.), usually, once these close relatives gather together, they will be led by the most powerful bear goblin, and the goblin Abby can reverse this rule. It is indeed outstanding among the goblins.

The fighting power of ordinary goblins is not as good as that of ordinary hounds. Any farmer holding a pitchfork can usually deal with three or five of them. The hobgoblins are slightly weaker than humans, but they have some wisdom and discipline, which makes them suitable for coordinated combat. As for the bugbears, their physical fitness is somewhat close to that of the ordinary bear people in the Sims Royal Court, and is better than that of ordinary humans. Unfortunately, the bugbears are few in number and have no civilization heritage, otherwise they would also be a good racial force.

At this moment, these brave bugbears, wearing furs and holding big wooden sticks, roared and rushed down the snow slope, and their momentum was really powerful and brave.

Unfortunately, this time they were no longer facing the wilderness race or the lone human caravan, but the Redwood Town army trained by Rhodes.

At the moment when the two sides' forces collided, Rhodes, who was in the defensive formation, stretched out the five fingers of his left hand and gently pushed forward. It seemed that nothing happened in this process, but Rhodes in the army formation could clearly feel that the weak holy light in his body, along with the effect of the system skills, was blessed on the sixty soldiers in front of him: healing bonus, surgery bonus, coaching bonus, tactical bonus, although the current bonus is negligible, but it is better than nothing.

After the ancient sacred fighting spirit is truly cultivated, it is said that its blessing power is enough to make a weak rabbit bite a ferocious wolf to death. However, the basic holy light energy of Rhodes' level, let alone expanding it out of the body to bless others, can not be applied in actual combat.

However, with his unique system ability, Rhodes can apply this weak holy light energy. The blessing is not strong. If it is materialized into a numerical value, it may only increase the bonus by a few tenths, but this number must be multiplied by sixty, and it can allow Rhodes to deeply comprehend the holy light energy mind method in advance and solidify his cultivation foundation.

"Bang", "Bang", "Bang", "Bang".

Accompanied by the sound of fierce collision, the human army and the wilderness army collided with each other. At this moment, Rhodes suddenly ordered: "Assault infantry, all troops attack!"

"Kill!"

With Rhodes' order, twenty Haidam militiamen wearing chainmail armor, holding short swords and round shields suddenly jumped out from behind the shield and spear wall of the Shar spearmen in Redwood Town.

Their leap forward assault this time can be said to have caught those wilderness races off guard. The weapons in the hands of the twenty Haidam militiamen were their own, and the chainmail armor on their bodies was borrowed temporarily by Rhodes from those high-level slave traders. This high-level armor that greatly surpassed the Haidam militia's own rank could greatly enhance their combat power and greatly improve their survival rate. Therefore, although it cost two hundred gold coins for this, Rhodes had nothing to hesitate about.

Money is a bastard, and you can earn it again if you lose it. For a warlord, only the soldiers and army firmly in his hands are the most real.

Rhode thought so in his heart, but Raymond, Fatis, and Kress didn't know. Raymond and Fatis were more and more impressed that Lord Rhode really cherished the lives of his soldiers.

Kress thought this was quite normal: "My master is the best master in the world."

The favorability was already full, and it couldn't be increased no matter how much it was added.

During this period, the twenty Haidam militia troops were trained crazily by their lord. They had been full of anger for a long time, but they didn't dare to express any dissatisfaction to their lord. After discovering the tail of the wilderness race, Rhode stopped training them. They were fed with good food and drink every day but half-food. At this moment, they were released, and they had a violent and crazy momentum.

The equipment on their bodies was better than their own level, and the shield and sword in their hands were most suitable for this kind of close-range death battle. Therefore, although the number and level of the twenty Haidam militia troops were not as good as the Charles spearmen, their killing efficiency was far beyond.

Several sharp swords slashed and stabbed together. Even those bear goblins whose physiques far exceeded theirs often died tragically on the spot because of their inferior equipment. Moreover, most of them were big goblins and ordinary armed goblins. The number of bear goblins was already small, and a group of them were knocked down by Rhode's "Military Formation Assault" just now, so the number could not form a scale.

Gradually, the staggered fronts turned into the charr spearmen surrounding the remaining bear goblins with wooden shields and spears, while the Haidam militia chased the wilderness alien troops whose morale was gradually collapsing and killed them wantonly.

At this time, Rhode, who was in the rear and watching the battlefield closely, issued the second order: "Archer troops, shoot!"

Along with this military order, eighteen charr hunters, led by two charr wild hunters, suddenly appeared at the oblique rear of the wilderness alien troops, occupied a relatively high ground and launched an arrow rain attack.

There had been warnings before, and Rhodes, Fatis and others had repeatedly reconnaissance. If they were still ambushed by a group of opponents with low military literacy under such circumstances, it would be ridiculous. Both Alos and Rhodes could go home and take a rest, and forget about their ambitions.

If they can't even beat the scheming goblins, what ambitions can they talk about?

Therefore, this active ambush had been arranged long ago. Rhodes deliberately placed his archer troops close to the enemy, even closer to the enemy, so as to exert the most powerful killing power.

"Did the archer troops appear a little late? If it were me, I would pull out the archer troops before the battle, wouldn't this reduce the losses of our side more?" Outside the battle, Rui'er and the slave trader leader Gunnarsor rode on the left and right of Alos to guard, and Rui'er asked at the same time.

"It's not that they showed up late, but Mr. Rhodes wanted to wipe out the alien coalition. If the archer unit showed up too early, the other side might choose to retreat. However, they are really murderous. Only those who are cruel to others and themselves will choose this tactic."

"Sir, with your noble status, it's best not to have too much contact with young people who are too murderous. They are too dangerous." Although he was worried about offending Miss Rui'er, Gunnarsser still seized every opportunity to show his talents and loyalty in front of Mr. Arlos, because he knew clearly that as long as the noble man in front of him nodded, he could jump from a mercenary leader like a chamber pot to a noble lord. Even if the previous two generations were only nobles who could handle dirty things for the master, they were still noble lords who were high above.

As for Rui'er, he didn't dare to offend her either. Now that he offended her with words and was glared at, he naturally had to make up for it with a precious gift to mend the rift afterwards.

Rhode didn't care how Alos and Rui'er behind him evaluated his mentality, tactics, and military strength, nor did he care how Gunnarsor, the leader of the slave traders, evaluated him.

At this moment, Rhode only cared about the soldiers in his hands. Seeing a charr spearman being thrown to the snow by the bear goblin, his heart was bleeding.

It was also because of this feeling that Rhode gradually found it difficult to endure. Obviously, it was not the most appropriate time yet, but Rhode suddenly drew the sword of power at his waist and pointed it forward: "Charge!"

As soon as the roar fell, Rhode had already taken the lead in charging, and the boiling holy light energy in his body continued to spread.

The practice of Holy Light Qi is about building a solid foundation, gradually accumulating, and then using it in a process where water overflows. From laying the foundation in childhood to practicing successfully, the whole process may take more than ten years for those with poor qualifications, and this is still under normal magic concentration.

However, due to his own talent and the power of system skills, Rhode can even control the extremely weak Holy Light Qi energy. This makes him far from the level of a high-level Templar who can normally practice to the point of Holy Light Qi bursting, but it allows him to have power far beyond that of a Templar apprentice.
