Mount & Blade: Wind of War

Chapter 454 The dilemma of both parties

The Lonely Mountain Castle in the Wilderness is a huge city with a vast area, which of course has its pros and cons.

Without a sufficiently prosperous politics, economy, and culture, it is not enough to support the establishment of such a huge city. However, once faced with foreign invasion, the required defense force is also extremely tight.

The Lonely Mountain Castle can be said to have taken advantage of the terrain. Basically, it only needs to defend the siege from the north and south, and the east and west directions only need to be monitored. But even so, as time goes by, the Lonely Mountain Castle has to send more and more civilians to the city to fight and assist.

The ancient orc army has fallen into hysterical madness at all costs. As its opponent, the Lonely Mountain Castle has to go crazy with it.

Letting these civilians who have not received any training go to the battlefield is simply no different from murder.

However, at this point in the war, murder or massacre, no one cares.

"Kerosene!"

"Pour."

Several civilians cooperated with each other, shouting, using long wooden sticks as support to pour the burning kerosene in large pots.

"Ahh..."

"Ahh."

A terrifying scream that was not like a human howl came from the bottom of the city wall. On the battlefield at this time, a few civilians could bring great damage to the elite ancient orc warriors.

In addition, there were rolling stones and thick battering rams, and sharp spikes were nailed on the surface of those battering rams.

However, these militiamen were not professional warriors. When a large rain of arrows broke through the air not far away, these militiamen didn't know where to hide. Ten militiamen could fall down in an instant.

These were human men who had lived a hard life for at least a dozen years to grow up, and they lost their lives in an instant on the battlefield.

It was tragic and cruel, just like a scene of hell on earth.

But what can we do?

This is the reality of this world.

If you don't want to pick up a sword, someone will pick up a sword. If you don't want to fight, someone will force you to fight.

When the war developed to a certain period, even many strong and brave women in Gushan City applied to go to the battlefield.

If this war continues for a long time, it is completely foreseeable that even children of four or five years old will have to go to the battlefield holding stones in their arms, because everyone knows clearly: "Once the city is broken, the final result will inevitably be that the whole city will be dead."

In fact, if you stand in the position of the ancient orcs.

Is the choice of the national teacher Kedar definitely wrong?

It foresaw the future world of great contention, and also foresaw that if the current situation is allowed to develop like this, the orcs who are good at war will definitely not be the enemy of the human race who are good at development in the long run. Instead, it is the best chance to launch a general offensive in the early stage.

Once they invade the hinterland of the human race and plunder enough human slaves, at that time, the ancient orcs will have a great chance to become the next overlord of the continental civilization.

Whether it is foresight, judgment, execution, or decisiveness, the national teacher Kedar can be called a contemporary hero.

Indeed.

The ancient orcs are far from the end of their rope and need to bet everything on one throw, but it is precisely because it is far from that time that the chance of winning is the greatest and the difficulty of pushing the entire tribe to launch a continental war is the highest. However, Kodar succeeded in doing all these. If it weren't for the Lonely Mountain Castle, which was suddenly built in ten years and accumulated a lot of strength with an abnormal efficiency, Kodar would have a very high chance of winning this battle.

Once completed, it would be the undisputed greatest hero of the ancient orc civilization in the past thousand years.

Unfortunately, fate did not stand on the side of this contemporary hero.

Kodar led a million troops down from the north, intending to sweep across the southern continent, but ran into a huge steel plate head-on.

"Kill!"

"Follow me, hold on!"

"Don't let them rush in!"

Under the continuous and fierce attack, some green-skinned ancient orc warriors finally rushed up the wall fiercely.

Facing these orcs, civilians could not stop them at all, and the speed of rushing up was probably not as fast as they killed them, so elite soldiers had to rush up and fight with them for their lives.

The most common troops on the walls of Lonely Mountain Castle were the middle-armor swordsmen, who were numerous and relatively cheap to train.

The middle-armor swordsmen were the third-level and ninth-level enhanced troops.

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 and combat effectiveness are improved, and they are almost not afraid of death due to injuries, but after the skill ends, their vitality will be weakened and reduced.

Special Note: Since most of them were born as slaves and were inspired by the belief in light to join the army, the dinar consumed for training has been greatly reduced.

Open the Heroic Will, bless the Desperate, and then combine with the Sweep skill. Even if the average elite level of the ancient orc warriors is higher than that of the human soldiers, they can only roar and be cut off the city wall under such desperate and siege.

However, the Chinese Armor Swordsman Unit is more powerful than the defense. Even if the killing efficiency is amazing, their combat loss efficiency is also amazing.

Although the Glory Crusaders' Banner was given to the Rhodok Holy Heavy Crossbowman Unit, the "Glory Alliance" allowed the human coalition forces in the entire city to gain buffs, and the bonus is not low. Covering the entire city, the effect is terrifying.

In addition to the ancient orc warriors who kept charging up from below, there were dozens or even hundreds of cyclops trying to climb up the walls of Lonely Mountain Castle.

These evil creatures developed by Kodar have some characteristics of orcs and demons, with strong vitality, terrifying combat power, and brutality and bloodthirstiness.

They can transform the boiling evil energy in their bodies and inject it into their own cyclops, and then shoot out dark red laser-like light beams.

In the first few attacks, the dark red light beam swept across, and each time it could directly kill a large number of human warriors on the wall. The dark red light beam was irresistible, and for most human warriors, it would kill them if they were swept.

Fortunately, after a few times, their maximum and farthest attack distance was observed. If possible, they were given special care and were not given the opportunity to get close to the wall.

Airen, one of the high-ranking knights of Lonely Mountain Castle, led the Dark Knights to take charge of this task. Airen himself practiced both magic and martial arts, and after being demonized, he was infinitely close to the fifth-level legendary realm. If he was not able to deal with the Cyclops successfully climbing up, with the cooperation of the Dark Knights, Airen could quickly kill the few Cyclops that climbed up the castle in close combat.

Judging from the current situation, although the battle for Lonely Mountain Castle was difficult, there was no sign of the city being broken, unless the siege lasted for more than half a year. However, the ancient orc army would definitely not be able to hold out for more than half a year.
