Mount & Blade: Wind of War

"Master, master, those red-winged harpies, those jackal guards, and an elite unit of centaurs have all disappeared."

On the battlefield of the city wall, Kress held a brass telescope in one hand and crouched low, trotting to a corner. Rhodes had just taken off his armor at this moment, and a third-rate military doctor beside him injected the gun into his arm. The arrow is taken out.

Normally, a double-layered armor with plate armor on the outside and chain mail on the inside can almost guarantee that the commander will not be injured even if he is shot into a hedgehog.

The predecessor of Gushan Castle, the Mountain Fortress, was originally engaged in weapons trading. It stands to reason that after Rhodes occupied this place, he had the ability to equip himself and his cronies with double-layer armor.

But in fact, from Fatis to Raymond to the Redwood Town elite to Rhodes himself, no one equipped themselves with double-layer armor because it was too heavy. Now Lonely Mountain Castle does not have many people and generals. Everyone must fully and permanently exert their own combat power. If this place is attacked by the Centaur coalition, even if they wear five layers of armor and arm themselves like a turtle shell, will they not die?

Rhodes poured Saint Dou Qi into his whole body to suppress the pain. He watched helplessly as the third-rate military doctor strictly followed his request. He first used a flame to burn the knife behind his body, then used the knife to cut his own muscles, and inserted the arrow into his body without damaging his body. Picked out under the premise.

During the whole process, even with the Holy Fighting Qi suppressing the pain, Rhodes was already sweating profusely.

After completing this simple operation, Rhodes spit out the wooden stick tied with a towel in his mouth and breathed softly: "Are you using your trump card so soon? Orcs are orcs, I can't keep calm. I thought he could accompany me to perform more Two days.”

Sometimes Rhodes would use the insulting word "it" when calling the orcs, and sometimes he would call him "him" because he was the opponent against them. Wouldn't looking down on them also mean looking down on himself?

"That's right." Kress cheered when she heard this, not minding that she also had orc blood. Of course, she might not even know it herself.

Even if she knows, it is not a worry for Kress. As long as she firmly believes that she is a human being, then she is a human being, and people around her will not treat her differently.

"But, sir, what did you prepare for them? I only know that you asked the people below to turn many large jars upside down and place them all over the city, and asked Sister Janice to mobilize people. Could the danger come from the city? What on earth are you going to do?”

"Haha, Kress, you still have a lot to learn about military tactics. For example, you can't let go of any important details."

At this moment, Rhodes himself was injured, and although the offensive of the Centaur coalition forces below remained fierce, the coalition generals no longer put much thought into the frontal battlefield.

Therefore, Rhodes took the time to teach Kress some military knowledge.

"If we haven't seen it with our own eyes before and witnessed the Battle of the Mountain Fortress, then I won't blame you for your inability to react, Kress, but you have obviously seen it. What happened in that battle?"

"The witch Magna summoned the fog, and a sharp army of jackal guards suddenly appeared... Yes, how did they suddenly appear behind the Centaur coalition? There is a secret passage leading outside in the town ?”

After Rhodes highlighted the key points for Kress, the little girl was not stupid. She just didn't like to think deeply. She quickly thought of the key points of the problem.

In the battle for the mountain fortress, the opportunity for victory was of course the witch Magna summoning the fog to create the necessary conditions, but the sudden attack from the front and back by the harpies was also an important condition for the final victory.

"Then, then, then... Master, there are almost no soldiers in the city now. If they suddenly come out of the city, we won't be able to defend it. Hurry, withdraw the troops quickly!"

Thinking of this, the little girl Kress was so panicked that she almost stuttered.

Because once the city is broken, no one in the human army will be able to survive, and human slaves will also be massacred, leaving a small number to once again become slaves in a more miserable situation.

"By the time you stupid girl thinks about it, we have become prisoners. Don't worry, I have deployed a hundred thousand soldiers in the city. It is impossible for those people to survive."

"One hundred thousand soldiers? Including the alien slaves, we only have more than 10,000 people in total." At this moment, Kress's eyes were already filled with confusion, and she really couldn't imagine that her master could still By some means, one hundred thousand people could be created out of thin air.

If there are 100,000 people, why defend the city? No, to be more precise, the orcs outside the city simply did not dare to invade.

As night fell, at this time in the town, Janice had already led her trusted confidants to identify the sounds bit by bit through the large inverted clay pots, and finally locked and determined the location of the enemy's secret passage.

"Are you sure? If you are not sure, I will shoot the rocket immediately, and the lord will immediately bring people to guard it." Guido, who was lame with one leg, held a bow in one hand and followed Janice, the steward, and said this .

Ever since Janice explained the situation to Rhodes and introduced him to the famous general-level hero Caitlin, Janice has become the most trusted official by Rhodes among all human slave leaders. Mo Ken is talented and has made great achievements.

This is based on the principle of rewarding meritorious service, and on the other hand, Rhodes believes that a mother can burst out amazing talents for her children. At least, Janice seems to be such a person.

"The whole plan was arranged by the adults themselves. You are so unsure, do you not trust the adults?" Facing the lame Guido, the sheriff, Janice asked directly without fear.

"Well, of course I believe in the adults' plan, I just don't trust your execution."

In fact, the fear and uneasiness of the lame Guido is justified, because after turning the large pottery jars upside down, a certain sound amplification effect was produced, and with this, Guido faintly heard that a large heavily armored army was approaching underground. If there was defense, it would be fine, but if there was no defense, the entire mountain city might be broken in one attack.

However, even though he had noticed the enemy's conspiracy, the lord did not send any more troops to the city. Instead, he asked Janice to lead a large group of human slaves to repair the waterway. Guido did not understand the meaning of this. In his mind, only heavy armored soldiers were the most reliable. As for Janice and the large group of human slaves she led, they would probably be completely defeated after being attacked by the aliens.

At the same time, on the other side, an elite force of 800 people was struggling to move forward in a narrow tunnel.

In this team, there were red-winged harpies, third-level gnoll guards with heavy armor all over their bodies, and a heavy armored centaur force of about 500 people. Although they were not completely heavy iron armor, under the cover of the dark iron wood, these silent and terrible existences holding heavy weapons still gave people a feeling of fear.

"Damn, why is there no wind at all? I think it wasn't so stuffy and hot the last time I left?"

A red-winged harpy flew at low altitude, wiping the sweat from her cheeks.

"It's a little stuffy, just bear with it. We'll be there soon. When we fight our way out and get home, you can do whatever you want!"

When it comes to going home, all the red-winged harpies' eyes light up.

After leaving the Mountain Fortress, they truly realized how happy and beautiful it is to have a stable and warm nest.

If they had known how hard it would be to struggle to survive outside, they might as well have fought those humans directly. If they had been as determined as they are now, they might not have lost the Mountain Fortress.

Huahua...

"Uh, listen, is there the sound of water flowing?"

Suddenly, a harpy asked.

Huahuahuahuahuahua...

At first, the sound was not very clear, just vague, but gradually, the rumbling sound of water became clearer.

The Gnoll Guards were a little dazed. They were the only ones who hadn't reacted yet. The Centaurs and the Red-winged Harpies had realized what was happening.

"What's going on? Didn't you promise that no one else knew about this secret passage except you Harpy nobles?" A Centaur leader burst into fighting spirit and chopped a nearby Red-winged Harpy into pieces with a swing of his blade.

However, it was meaningless to pursue responsibility at this moment.

Boom.

Boom.

Along with the sound of crashing and breaking, a surging torrent rushed in.

This was not a project that could be completed in a day or two. In fact, after watching the "Battle for the Mountain Fortress", Rhodes guessed that there was a secret passage leading to the outside in this mountain city.

Later, the noble girl Gapar among the Harpies was captured, and this secret was even more impossible to keep in front of Rhodes.

If Rhodes didn't know about this secret passage, maybe Japar could still keep the secret, but since he already knew it, it would be a miracle if Japar could keep it under torture.

Therefore, this vicious plan of sealing the gap in the tunnel and guiding the waterway route in the city was not prepared for the Centaur coalition at all. In fact, no matter who planned to use this tunnel to plot against Rhodes, they would fall for it completely.

Rhodes was just like this by nature. He didn't like to leave loopholes for himself.

The surging water suddenly broke through the wall and knocked down the 800 elite aliens in the secret passage. No matter how strong, elite, or brave they were, it was meaningless in the face of this ruthless flood.
