Mount & Blade: Wind of War

In the Hell Plane, Duzier Castle.

Flame spears and fire bombs with terrible negative energy attributes poured down from the top of the castle. Under the background that was like a rain of fire, two powerful demon armies were fighting desperately.

Vohers, who had survived the previous battle, led the way. It rushed into the defense line of the Duzier Army demons like an extremely sharp knife, because every time it swung the burning demon axe to kill a demon, it felt a sense of physical and mental comfort and the sense of being alive.

In such a fierce battle, someone was watching coldly.

"Master. Vohers has already attacked. Should we help it?" Raymond, who was wearing armor, walked over and half-knelt in front of Rhodes, who was looking down at the battlefield with his arms folded.

At this time, Fatis, Airen, James, Resarit and other knights were waiting below, waiting for the knight Raymond, who had followed the lord the longest and the lord trusted the most, to bring back news.

"Raymond, do you think we should help Voorhes at this time?"

"Master, although Voorhes is just one of our weapons, it needs to be guarded here for a long time. If we help it now, we can reduce a lot of losses. I think we should go there to provide support."

"You are kind, but it may not appreciate your kindness. Haha, okay, since you want to go, then go. You will command the archer unit and let Resarit be your deputy."

"Yes, thank you, master."

Raymond was delighted when he heard such an order.

Master Rhodes has always been reluctant to allow himself to lead an army alone, but this time he let Resarit be his deputy.

In Raymond's view, it was his secret efforts that were recognized by the master.

In fact, he misunderstood.

The reason why Rhodes did not let Raymond lead an army alone was that there were many famous generals in the Lonely Mountain Castle, but the troops were not strong. How could he let Raymond, who was mediocre, lead the army alone under the premise of having famous generals?

That was irresponsible to the soldiers and to Raymond.

Letting subordinates complete things that they are not capable of completing is a leader's own dereliction of duty.

However, this matter is different now.

After the battle with Duzier, Raymond finally broke through his own limit and upgraded from an elite template character to a hero template character:

[Name: Raymond

Level: 14

Strength: 12

Agility: 16

Intelligence: 6

Charm: 6

Remaining attribute points: 0

Skills: Iron Bone 1, Strong Attack 1, Weapon Mastery 2, Running 2, Strong Bow 4, Riding 2, Tactics 1.

Remaining skill points: 0

Weapon proficiency: One-handed weapons 69, two-handed weapons 116, long pole weapons 42, bows and arrows 142, crossbows 59, throwing 40, Fiery Fighting Breathing Method 125.

Remaining weapon proficiency: 20

Hero characteristics:

Archer command, every 2 levels of the hero, the attack power and defense power of the archers, crossbowmen and crossbowmen led by him will increase by 1 point each. 】

"This qualification is much worse than that of Fatis and Airen, and even worse than that of Resarit, but I don't dislike it... This archer command characteristic, tut tut tut, once a person gets the help of God, he can really ascend to heaven in one step."

Why does Rhodes care so much about this characteristic? Because the entire Lonely Mountain Castle has 4,000 Rhodok sacred heavy crossbowmen, 2,000 medium-armored longbowmen, and more than half of the nearly 10,000 troops are blessed by this characteristic.

Although Raymond's reputation and command are limited now, he may not be able to fully add all the troops, but even if he is a partial addition as an adjutant, this data increase is terrifying.

Because every point of increase must be multiplied by 6,000.

So in this battle, Rhodes let Raymond be the main general and let Resarit be his adjutant. Although it may lead to relatively more casualties in this battle, feeding Raymond with blood at this time is responsible for the entire Lonely Mountain Castle. Other considerations will be put in the back.

At this time, with the addition of the human army, the demon army of Duzier Castle was defeated even faster.

Let the demon army rush to the city as siege cannon fodder, and then the human army joined to speed up the capture. This was Rhode's original intention. It was impossible to use the human army as cannon fodder for the demon army.

"Killing shock!"

Riding a heavy griffin and charging down, Airen used magic on a middle-level demon on the opposite side.

The middle-level demon in the battle was suddenly struck by lightning, and the next moment, Airen, who was burning with black flames, swung his sword and killed it.

The greatsword in Airen's hand at this moment was just a fine magic weapon produced by Lonely Mountain Castle. It was stronger and sharper than an ordinary steel greatsword. However, after killing the legendary great demon and soaking the greatsword with enough demon blood, Airen's sword became more and more convenient to use, and it seemed that some changes were happening.

Although Airen was somewhat worried, this was actually normal. The main material world would see many miracles due to the surge of demonic tides, and the Hell Plane would naturally see changes in certain artifacts due to enough killing and high-quality blood souls.

Especially the profession that Airen chose and his own temperament were both vaguely compatible with the lower plane, and the subtle communication energy was transferred to the weapon he held. This was actually unexpected, but reasonable.

There are some middle-level demon supervisors in Duzier Castle.

They thought that even if Duzier was defeated, the opponent, the Burning Castle, would inevitably suffer a lot of losses.

If they united, relying on the castle's defense, perhaps some of them could evolve into new upper-level demons. Such an opportunity and such a probability are really worth a gamble. This is reasonable, but unfortunately they encountered something unexpected.

In this battle, Duzier Castle fell after holding out for half a day, and the territory of the Burning Castle expanded more than twice, becoming a powerful force in this layer of hell.
