Mount & Blade: Wind of War

Chapter 534 Line of Defense (Please subscribe and reward!)

After the gate of hell at the Viar volcano was opened, the negative magic energy permeated the entire main material world.

With that area as the center, alienation began.

Many crystals grew on the ground, and the beasts and even humans in the area became more bloodthirsty, violent, and aggressive.

In this world, the individual combat power of the human race, and even the overall combat power of a certain period, is not as good as that of the hell demons, let alone the orcs.

The level of each class of hell demons is often very high. If the first-level human soldier is level 10, then the first-level orc soldier is level 20, and the first-level demon creature is level 30 or even 40.

Because living in a veritable hell environment, those demons cannot survive unless they are far more fierce and cruel than normal.

This kind of false high that only improves the level but does not improve the life level of oneself will degenerate if it lives in a safe and comfortable environment for a long time.

However, the various civilized races on the continent cannot spend one or two hundred years waiting for the combat power of these hell demons to degenerate. It is an urgent need that cannot wait for a moment to expel them and drive them back to hell.

However, the real world does not change with the urgency of the mind. The objective reality is that the endless hell legions pouring out from the gate of hell, wherever they pass, all resistance and struggles collapse, and the catastrophe that spreads across the entire continent is a foregone conclusion.

Fortunately, the humans on this continent have also experienced a long war. Even as human countries, Saint Laurent and Styak had a national war that lasted for 20 years. Therefore, there is an extremely solid Bridges Line of Defense between the two countries.

This is a key place that the Styak Empire has been operating for a hundred years. Not only are the fortresses strong, but also various military facilities are complete. There are also several elite corps of the Styak Empire stationed. The military nobles who were awarded around are also those who made outstanding military achievements in the past. These military nobles on the border almost all have the habit of hoarding food and supplies.

Now that the situation has come to a head, although it is not Saint Laurent's invasion again, it is also the same for dealing with the Hell Legion.

It is because of the existence of this military defense line, coupled with the timely dispatch of the experienced old Marshal General Flannard of the Styak Empire to save the situation, the elites of various countries gathered on this basis and barely blocked the spreading and whistling demonic disaster.

Although there are still many demons passing through the entire defense line, as long as most of the Hell Legion is blocked, it is already a rare strategic victory for humans.

Western Continent, Bridges Line.

The sky is still blue, and tall military buildings stand among the lush green grass. Because the marching speed of the army is much slower than that of the extraordinary people, although they set out later, Rhodes and his party still arrived at the frontier defense line first.

With the magic level of the elves, they can even set up a teleportation array. Although it is difficult to teleport a large number of troops, it is still not stressful to teleport a small number of senior officials and diplomats. ]

For now, the magic background of the elves is indeed the best among all the races on the continent.

Although many things had been agreed before the support, the arrival of Rhodes, Arlos and others still needed to discuss some specific details.

Bridges Line, Sotol Castle.

Rhodes was still wearing a light dragon scale heavy armor and a red cloak, which was a common general's dress in this era, so he would not be particularly eye-catching on the battlefield, although Rhodes was not afraid of being too eye-catching and being focused on.

Arlos and her sister Isa were both wearing glazed light steel armor and swords. On the contrary, the elf elder Spasoye Dogan was still wearing a green robe and holding a wooden stick as usual, but he was actually a warrior, not an elf wizard.

Walking into the meeting room, Rhodes saw his old acquaintance, the fat Marquis Angel.

This guy betrayed the country, founded and led the business alliance, played two succubi by himself, and is still alive and kicking until now. For such a person, no matter how harmonious he looks, Rhodes dare not despise him.

A dragon-veined Grand Duke Daenerys can satisfy herself by using all her skills. Marquis Angell played with two succubi alone, and now his bones were not crushed into dregs. Rhode felt that it was a miracle of life.

Of course, the focus of this meeting was not Marquis Angell, but the old man with short white hair sitting in the center of the conference room, General Flannard, a national treasure-level veteran of Styak.

This old general has not lost a battle, but he has stepped up from a civilian to the highest position in the military. In terms of experience and qualifications, there is really no second person in the entire Styak. General Flannard, who has students and old friends all over the army, has a sensitivity and control over the entire army that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

If the Grand Prince Haines did not have his support, it would be difficult to maintain the current Styak Empire. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call him the pillar of the country.

"Welcome Duke Rod Hart, the Grand Duke of the North, welcome the two female knights of the noble family, and welcome everyone to come."

General Flannard stood up in person to greet them.

The state shown by this old general was even more gentle and interesting. During the meeting, he only mentioned the issue of unified military command. After being quickly and clearly rejected by Rhodes and Alos, he never mentioned it again, as if nothing had happened. This shows his profound personal cultivation.

Multiple orders are issued by multiple sources, which is a taboo in military strategy.

Multiple management, multiple commands, overlapping responsibilities, and different powers and responsibilities can easily cause chaos. In this situation of a decisive battle on the continent, a mistake may cost the lives of millions of people.

However, Rhodes and Alos are also worried that their troops will be consumed as cannon fodder.

The strategic expectations of both sides are different. For Rhodes and Alos, if the Bridges Line can be defended, it will be defended. If it cannot be defended, it is acceptable to retreat and fight and retreat.

But in the eyes of other countries and forces in the south, it is not the case. Once the Bridges Line is lost, it means that a large area of ​​the country will fall, and millions, tens of millions, or even tens of millions of people will be displaced and even face the butcher knife of the hell demons.

Whether it is the Lonely Mountain Castle or the Bright Moon City, the northern elves have some practical training, but the southern countries are different. This is the place of decisive battle for them.

That is why, after the first meeting, not long after returning to his residence, Rhode saw General Flannard visit again.
