Mount & Blade: Wind of War

"The prejudice in your heart is like a big mountain. No matter how hard you try, you can't move it."

"Non-my family, its heart must be different!"

In the era that Rhodes lived in, the differences between people were not very big. People already distinguished each other based on region, skin color, language, cultural habits, etc., and excluded aliens.

And this situation will only become ten times more serious in a world with many intelligent races.

Just like the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and the swamp murlocs, they have obviously communicated in advance, but the swamp murlocs still do not want to have too much contact with the human caravans, and just let them transport the food carts as tolls to the designated location. .

And then you have to try to make more money because of the greed in your heart.

Just like the ruby ​​necklace that Alos presented to the harpy witch Magna Leer in the mountain fortress. Although the witch liked it very much, she still never met Alos and only "granted" the caravan. Rest in the city for a while and then leave safely.

It was because he clearly saw the barriers and wariness between the various intelligent races that Rhodes believed that his plan was certain to succeed.

As expected, the Harpy Witch's reaction was much more violent and terrifying than Rhodes imagined, and she launched an attack directly.

Peaceful contact and exchange?

That was a habit that was gradually developed in the long peaceful era. In today's era, in the wilderness, swords and blood, magic and death are more in line with the main theme.

What's more, the harpy witch Magna Ler is unruly and violent, and she believes that she has an absolute advantage. Of course, you can do whatever you want and kill if you want!

It wasn't just one harpy that was being chased from the mountain fortress. During the heavy rain, Rhodes vaguely saw at least twenty harpies waving red wings in all directions in mid-air. They were surrounded by Also followed by the mighty and fierce gryphon.

But this is to be expected. After all, the caravan has gone a long way, and it is undoubtedly difficult for ground troops to quickly pursue them.

"Arrange a defense around the caravan to protect the shooter. Ah!"

Because Rhodes continued to command, attracting attention, several heavy spears were suddenly thrown from the sky. Rhodes reacted quickly and blocked with his shield, but was knocked off his horse by the heavy spears. The next moment , another of his pack horses was thrown to death.

The blood-winged harpies in the sky should not be stronger than Rhodes in terms of strength, but they swooped down and used throwing weapons, and their strength received a very high bonus. Therefore, with just a few throwing spears, Rhodes' current strength was enough to resist them. Can't live.

Rhodes, who had been prepared for a long time, was still like this, but the other troops in the caravan suffered heavy losses in a very short period of time.

It's not just about throwing spears. The legend is true. The harpy witch really has the ability to summon hurricanes. In the dark and heavy rain, dozens of harpies were seen spinning and flying around the witch in the center. Suddenly, out of thin air, There will really be pure white violent hurricanes condensed and formed one after another, blowing up the human warriors below and sending them to the sky, even rolling up the carriages and horses, and toppling the trucks.

"As expected, he is so strong. He is worthy of being the overlord of the wilderness. He has control of the air, throws spears from a distance, summons hurricanes, and controls griffons. No wonder the number is so much smaller than the centaurs in the forest, but they still occupy the best land ore veins. Still firmly suppressing the centaur tribe."

Since many caravan guards died in the previous battle in Silent Hills, many caravan trucks were left uncontrolled.

The soldiers from Redwood Town were farmers. Some people had mastered the skills of driving carts and had helped a lot in the past. Therefore, in the second half of the journey, the soldiers from Redwood Town were in the core area of ​​the caravan, including of course Rhodes and Clay. Sri Lanka.

After falling off the horse, Rhodes was firmly maintained in the center by the Shire spearmen and the Shire senior spearmen. Coupled with the protection of the caravan trucks, whether it was a hurricane or a spear attack, Rhodes and the Redwood Town soldiers were currently None suffered much damage.

But the slave traders who serve as the outer guard force are in dire straits, especially Gunnather, who is wearing heavy blood-patterned armor and is being taken care of by throwing spears.

He didn't even know what was going on, but he was attacked by a torrential rain of spears. He risked his life and violently waved his hammers with both hands, and rushed out of the area on horseback. His face was already ferocious, and his whole body was covered in wounds and blood.

"Counterattack, organize a counterattack. Don't be afraid of them. These birdmen cannot carry too many weapons." As expected of a fierce man who has been fighting for a long time, Gunnather quickly saw the biggest problem of the harpy:

They are flying units and female beings. They cannot pursue such a long distance and carry too many weapons.

However, the surrounding harpies heard the words and flew up into the air with wild laughter. They took off a bag of spear-throwing equipment from the backs of the griffins that were flying around them, and then swooped down again to launch an attack.

With physical strength that far exceeds that of ordinary human women, plus the gravity and acceleration of being thrown in the air, although Gunnather's slave traders are also very fierce, it is still difficult to withstand several rounds of such attacks. Once they are stabbed in the vital point, , often killed directly in an instant.

But at this time, several arrows suddenly shot out from the forest. These arrows were extremely accurate, powerful and fast. The leather armor worn by the red-winged harpy was like paper in front of these powerful arrows. In an instant, there were four Five heads were pierced through the body and shot down.

And once they fall down, even if they are not dead at the time, there will be no way to survive under the heavy riding of the furious slave traders.

"Ms. Magna, why is this happening? I think my etiquette is perfect. Why did you lead the attack today?"

In fact, Yalos's words no longer made any sense. When a team of powerful centaur archers ran out of the forest to help the caravan resist the harpy, the relationship between the two parties had completely broken down.

At this moment, Yalos appeared and attracted attention, which naturally attracted dozens of powerful and heavy spear attacks. However, before those spears could really reach him, several flaming walls suddenly appeared around Yalos, but it was Yalos. The personal guard Rui'er beside him has already begun to cast defensive spells.

The appearance of the centaur archer troops caused the loss of the red-winged harpy, and this completely angered the harpy witch Magna who was like a blood-winged angel in the air.

Only a shrill cry of an eagle was heard. A hurricane that was originally raging on the caravan suddenly strengthened and expanded several times, sweeping over and overturning everything in its path, and even plowed the ground and tore out deep ditches.

Just being affected by it, Rhodes watched helplessly as several Redwood Town spearmen were swept up by the hurricane, screaming and thrown into the sky. If they were lucky enough to hang on a tree, it would be fine, but if they hit the ground directly , he is dead.

However, such momentum is just a prelude to launching an attack. These red-winged harpies obviously have the ability to control the wind, so the harpy witches' spellcasting creates a state similar to a "domain".

Human warriors will be swept up by hurricanes. Even the elite centaur archers of the Tadi people who come to support will have their arrows blown away by the strong wind. And those red-winged harpy witches are in such a situation. In the violent hurricane, they were like fish in water. They held spears and bucklers and shuttled back and forth like bullets:

Holding a spear and charging at high speed, once hit, even a slave trader in full chain armor or a tall and strong centaur archer cannot withstand it. In an instant, the entire body will be torn apart, and the bright red blood will soak the entire hurricane.

Domain coverage and special unit attacks are ancient tactics that belong exclusively to the "ancient era", but ancient never means impractical. As the magic level of this world gradually increases, more and more heritage from the ancient era will be revealed. Reappear in this world.

While her subordinates were fighting, the harpy witch Magna did not stay in the safety of high altitudes and calmly cast spells.

In fact, she also swooped down. The information in the legend seemed to be true. This witch could not only summon hurricanes, but the moment she waved the spear in her hand, the armor within the aura envelope would become as fragile as paper. Then he swung his spear to attack, tearing apart instantly, and the attack was invincible.

So much so that the rain falling in the hurricane seemed to be replaced by blood at this moment.

"Master, this monster is so strong! I seem to be no match for her. As you, please don't fight her to the death."

"Please activate the traction reel to at least get you out of here first."

As the most trusted personal guard, Ruier knew that his master carried a gravitational traction scroll. As long as it was activated, Yalos would fly to a safe point set in advance at an extremely fast speed. Because this is a gravitational spell, so The speed is so fast that normal flying units cannot catch up. This is also Yaros's last resort to save his life, as Ruier knows.

In the Bright Moon City, as the confrontation between the city lord and the ministers became more and more intense, Alos could not use almost any force during this trip to avoid alerting the hostile factions. However, magic props and other items could still be used. of.

However, Ruier still overestimated her level of strength.

After all, she grew up in a deep castle since she was a child. Although her inheritance in all aspects was very good, she still underestimated the things that existed in the ancient wilderness and grew up fighting: violent and terrifying!

Alos has outstanding temperament and handsome appearance. At this moment, even among the rebels, he is being desperately protected by a powerful cursed knight.

The tactics of the Wilderness Plains are to kill the enemy leader first, because as long as the leader is killed, the enemy's morale can be severely damaged, and the intensity of the battle will be greatly reduced.

The moment Yalos was exposed, the strong winds in the sky seemed to be pulled and gathered around the harpy witch Magna. The next moment, she fluttered her wings and attacked, and the surrounding wind seemed to form a drill visible to the naked eye. Before the spear could attack, Rui'er's Flame Wall Spell had already begun to oscillate, and even gradually developed large-scale cracks.

The moment the harpy witch Magna launched her charge, the surrounding red-winged harpies also followed. The gryphon beasts in mid-air reacted relatively slowly, but they had already swooped down and entered the formation.

Although the harpies use griffins as logistics troops, this does not mean that their combat effectiveness is weak. Even in close combat, three or five slave traders' heavy cavalry cannot be taken down for a while.

At the moment when the harpy witch Magna launched her charge, she passed by Rhodes on this side.

"Fire the arrow!"

It was at this moment that Rhodes gave the order.

There was a crash, like a loud noise.

The Shire spearmen and the Shire senior spearmen formed a shield formation and dispersed, revealing ten archers firmly protected inside, eight of whom were third-level soldiers, the Shire Wild Hunters.

Buzz buzz buzz.

The bowstring vibrated, and the red-winged harpies around the harpy witch burst into blood. Four of them fell down in an instant. Such skill in bowing was almost as good as that of elite centaur archers. Of course, there are some calculated and unintentional advantages here.

Witch guards, Red Winged Harpies, there are only about 40 in the entire Mountain Castle. This is because the concentration of world magic has been increasing over the years, resulting in the purification of bloodline. This time, the Harpy Witch only brought out 20, and now four of them fell in an instant. It was really painful like cutting flesh, but the Harpy Witch couldn't stop at this time. She could only stare at Rhode with an extremely vicious look, and she had already made up her mind to kill.

Unfortunately, this man was the same.

Looking at the terrifying wind spear rushing forward, Rhode turned his eyes to Arlos.

"A gentleman can be deceived by his own tactics. You who want to build a new world and want many races to live in peace, you should not abandon everyone and choose to escape with such a character, right? Then, let me see what your real trump card is!"

When encountering the terrible necromancer in the Blackwater Swamp, Rhodes noticed that when Arlos was in the most nervous state, he was not thinking about escaping, but wanted to take something out of his space ring. It was just because the necromancer did not make a move in the end, so Arlos also stopped the action.

Rhodes did not believe that the mage suddenly had a change of heart. He should have sensed something and chose to retreat. Rhodes also repeatedly simulated Arlos's actions. He speculated that Arlos should have intended to take out a sword from his space ring at that time. This was the "momentum" that Rhodes wanted to borrow the most, and it would also be the most unexpected thing for the witch.

"Master, run away!"

When the terrible enemy rushed up, Arlos did not take any action. Rui'er was almost going crazy, but as a subject, she could not make a choice for her master. She could only use her own suicide spell and prepare to die with the enemy.

However, Rui'er's spell had just started when Arlos behind her punched her in the lower abdomen.

The next moment, a brilliant and huge dark golden light lightning flashed out, hitting the sky and tearing the clouds.

The incomparable and vast momentum seemed to make the wind, rain, time and space around it all stop.

At the moment when the sword was drawn, all the concealing illusions were broken, and in the dark golden and vast fighting spirit, another form of Arlos slowly walked out:

Glorious golden hair, white skin like jade, dignified and elegant appearance, plus a pair of eyes as clear as the blue sky, even the most beautiful angel in the legend is probably no more than this, or far less than this.

At this moment, Arlos held a sheathed sword inlaid with star gems in his hand, exuding a heroic spirit in elegance, which made people feel that they were facing the holy scene of the return of the ancient celestial Valkyrie.
