Mount & Blade: Wind of War

The rout of an army is like a tide, especially for a multi-party coalition composed of various races in the wilderness. It is fine when fighting with the wind, but once it is frustrated and morale collapses, the army will collapse no matter how hard it is.

In the center of the war stage, the great lords and nobles led their high-level troops to perform to their heart's content. Rhodes led his No. 20 men to guard the corners of Yinshuang Town, encroaching in waves. Divide the meager profits. Obscene development, absolutely no waste.

The second group of wilderness thieves who took the initiative to enter the urn was a group of armed goblins and two jackals, and this time Rhodes clearly understood the fighting strength of the inhuman alien race.

There were obviously traps set up in the forest, but the strong jackal headed by the enemy was holding a rough iron rod. He could jump to the side before falling into the trap, and he could even dodge the roaring and smashing horizontal logs, and then used an unscrupulous way to do so. He rushed toward everyone at the speed of a galloping horse.

Fortunately, there were only two Jackals and a dozen armed goblins in total, and the other Jackal was injured. Otherwise, after seeing the fighting strength of the Jackals, Rhodes would immediately order everyone to retreat to the depths of the forest, where there are more trap setting.

Not one of the twenty militiamen under his command should be missing!

"Gather together and hold on to this place."

While Rhodes was giving orders, Raymond was shooting continuously with his fast bow and arrows. Since Rhodes and Raymond were standing at a relatively high place behind the crowd, they could shoot from a bird's eye view.

If the jackals rushing up from below want to attack these two people, they must first break through or avoid the shield and spear formation composed of nineteen Redwood Town militiamen.

In this world, there is no good thing in the game such as advanced equipment that comes with troop promotion, so Rhodes needs to spend his own money to arm each of his soldiers.

But it is also because of this that theoretically, if Rhodes is rich enough, he can equip each of his nineteen first-level soldiers with a plate armor to enhance their combat effectiveness.

Of course, in reality, everyone in Redwood Town is so poor that they are almost selling their pants, and they are too poor to open the pot. However, the nineteen militiamen except Raymond still have standard equipment such as wooden shields, wooden poles and spears. They are all equipped with one-handed weapons, but those one-handed weapons are boning knives, kitchen knives, sickles, etc.

Force is the hard currency in the wilderness. Without the basic protection of force, most forces will not be able to survive for even one day in the wilderness, and they may encounter catastrophe at any time.

The jackal holding a rough iron rod quickly circled twice, but the sharp edges of the shield and spear array were always facing it.

Encouraged by the Divine Blessing Ceremony, after seeing blood and killing people, the Redwood Town militiamen were still panicking, but they were no longer easily confused. During this process, Raymond's fast bow and arrows were never broken. , the strong jackal could not completely dodge these arrow attacks, and was more or less injured.

At the same time, the injured gnoll and the armed goblin were about to rush forward, so the strong gnoll had no choice but to grit his teeth and choose to break through head-on.

It also knew very well in its heart that the courage of these vassal goblins had been completely destroyed in the previous battle. If they were defeated again, those goblins would collapse immediately in this dense forest full of human traps.

Bang bang bang, bang bang bang.

The sparks exploded, and a strong iron smell spread.

The strong and sturdy jackal charged forward as quickly as possible, then swung the iron rod in his hand and smashed it violently. Five or six of the long iron spears met by the Redwood Town militiamen were immediately broken into pieces, but from other angles, The long iron spear was pointed over immediately. If the jackal charged hard, he would be turned into a hedgehog in an instant.

Whoosh!

At this time, because the distance was close enough, Raymond shot a steel arrow directly into the opponent's eye.

"howl……"

"Step aside."

The jackal howled in pain, and seeing this opportunity, Raymond roared and rushed out of the formation. He held a single sword in both hands, ducked to let the strong jackal swing his stick, and then took a step forward, suddenly Cut it down with a swing of the blade.

The third-level combat unit, the Shire Wild Hunters, is not a pure archer unit. They do not focus entirely on shooting. Instead, they maintain certain light-armored melee capabilities and the ability to lay traps on the basis of using bows and arrows. They are the battlefield All-rounder.

In particular, Raymond is an elite template and has a very high bonus in terms of actual combat effectiveness.

Seeing Raymond waving his blood-stained sword and howling as he charged towards the gnolls and armed goblins whose morale was plummeting, Rhodes, who was behind, understood the meaning of the word "wild", and at the same time, he became increasingly confused. Why did the predecessor Rod Hart dislike Raymond so much? Such top thugs and business backbones should be what every entrepreneur is eager for and urgently needs, right?

Holding a heavy crossbow, Rhodes followed the troops to pick up heads. His adaption to the battlefield was astonishingly fast. As the bloody atmosphere permeated the air, Rhodes began to be selective in his burst shooting, focusing on those holding sharp weapons. The enemies, as for those holding wooden clubs, even if they were wearing simple armor, were temporarily ignored.

Killing armed goblins and wounded gnolls was easier for Redwood Town's militia than killing humans.

[This is a perfect victory, troop morale +8. You get 17 dinars and a small amount of loot. 】

[The current command morale is 68, and some soldiers can be upgraded. 】

[Level upgraded to level 2]

[Attribute Point +1]

[Skill Point +1]

[Weapon Proficiency +10]

At the moment the battle ended, a line of text appeared in the lower left corner of Rhode's vision...Finally, I upgraded.

He quickly added a point to his strength attribute, and raised it to 13 points. There was no other reason, just because he was afraid of death.

After witnessing several battles, Rhode knew very well that in the chaotic battlefield, whether it was the iron rod thrown by the jackal or the arrow shot by his subordinate Raymond, it was possible to kill him directly.

So although he rationally knew that putting attribute skill points in legion management would benefit more overall, Rhode still chose to increase the strength attribute, because it was different from playing games. What he needed most now was not the maximum benefit per unit time, but the maximum stability per unit time. One more mouthful of blood meant one more point of safety.

"Back then, I was hit in the face by javelins, flying axes, and crossbow arrows, and I was knocked down in an instant. If I had maxed out my strength and iron bones, I could at least have bought myself some time to react."

"You, and you, come here." While thinking this in his mind, Rhode called the two militiamen who had obtained the qualification for promotion to him.

Promotion in this world is much more difficult than in the game. In the game, recruits can be promoted by killing one or two soldiers of the same level. In this world, in Rhode's memory, these two militiamen are also the two with the best physique and the most hardworking training. I am afraid that most of the promotion experience is accumulated by themselves, and the experience gained through fighting and killing is just the final touch.

"After your performance during this period of time, I recognize your courage and loyalty. Therefore, feel the blessing of the power of angels in the Divine Blessing Ceremony."

[Do you want to consume 24 dinars for the promotion of the army? ]

[Yes. ]

Rhode has tried it. The gold coins in this world cannot be exchanged for system dinars. Therefore, this upgrade almost directly consumes the dinar reserves in the system panel.

[Char recruits are promoted to charr hunters, costing 8 dinars. ]

[Char recruits are promoted to charr spearmen, costing 12 dinars. ]

[Choose, char recruits are promoted to charr spearmen. ]

[Promotion, success. ]

The people watching around did not feel anything, but the two simple militiamen who were patted on the shoulders by Rhodes felt their own strength increase and the clarity of martial arts in their minds as the warm current surged in their bodies.

Feeling this almost miraculous power, the two militiamen who had never seen much of the world trembled and knelt in front of Rhodes with their legs softened.

"Sir, we are willing to sacrifice our lives for you!"

"Sir, if anyone dares to betray you, curse his soul to fall into the fire hell forever and burn for a thousand years!"

"Okay, okay, get up, you have already offered your loyalty to me." Rhodes gently comforted the two soldiers, but their overly excited emotions were obviously not calmed down in a short time. As the two young men showed others the power they had just gained, Rhodes could clearly feel that the fighting spirit of the Redwood Town militia was burning like a raging fire, and morale soared.
