Mount and Blade

.........

Early March.

Taking advantage of the holidays, I occasionally went to the mayor to do some small jobs when Trunks and Seranti were not around, that is, chasing those robbers and some slightly more difficult thieves, and occasionally saving a village when passing by, and made a small profit. The team also expanded to 28 people.

As soon as spring came, the Vanskerry people in the north began to plunder again, but they were all small-scale invasions and plunders. Green also made a lot of money in the surrounding areas of Burns City and from bounties. The equipment of the soldiers with lower levels in the team also rose to a higher level. The extra equipment was sold and made a lot of money.

Ryan's name gradually became well-known in Burns. After all, he still had a noble title. When he went out to "hunt" Vanskerry bandits, there would be several Burns Holy Dragon Knights and Barkley Heavy Lancers following him, saving a lot of effort.

April

The snake cult army in the south began to madly step into the land of Barkley, and the heretics hidden in various parts of Barkley also took the opportunity to organize large and small armed forces. The villages and people in various parts of Barkley were poisoned to varying degrees. Bloody sacrifices were held one after another. Every midnight, the wailing and screaming of the souls echoed in the ears of every Barkley person, which was enough to prove the scale of the sacrifice of the heretics this time, and also confirmed that the sealed heretic evil god in the ancient legend was gradually awakening.

Barkley didn't care about the undercurrents within the kingdom. Almost all warlords and nobles sent out troops to resist the invasion of the snake cult army this time, because those crazy people didn't care who you were. Anyway, those who didn't believe in the snake god Azi Dahaka were regarded as targets for purges. The Snake Cult Empire had been established for a hundred years since it conquered the Bacchus Empire. The entire southern part of the Alamar continent was completely trapped in the shadow of the ancient evil creature. She could only be thankful that she couldn't walk too far in this world.

Every year, Barclay would send troops to support the Ashborn who still remained on the Alamar continent to fight against the Snake Cult. Apart from fighting for territory and defending territorial integrity, there were few large-scale combat operations. As the people of Maritin who still stood on the Alamar continent, although the whole country was very opposed to the belief of the Snake Cult, and burning the pagans of the Snake Cult was commonplace, the people gathered there were not good people. The main income of Maritin came from spices and silk. Every noble and low-level merchant in Maritin was well versed in the secrets of business, and the whole Maritin was very rich.

When Bacchus was annexed by the Snake Cult nearly a hundred years ago, only Maritin was still living a safe and sound life. It accumulated a lot of gold and dinars through colonies and export trade, and established a very standardized military system due to the professional military system and long-term peace.

Because the population was slightly sparse for the entire country, their army lacked combat experience other than capturing refugees or chasing the Jatu looting team. As long as they were men, they could be recruited, so they were all recruits without screening and training. In order to make up for this shortcoming, the Maritim had to arm even the lowest-level militia with very luxurious equipment.

Due to frequent dealings with the Jatu people, the entire Mali Court has a strong atmosphere of Jatu culture. Their punishment is somewhat barbaric and violent. It is common to tear the prisoners' limbs and internal organs apart by five horses.

The army assembled by the Snake Cult this time is about 4,000 people. According to the report of the spies, all of them are elite Snake Cult soldiers. Most of them are to test the military level of Barkley and Mali Court. However, such a large number of Snake Cult legions are enough to give Barkley's border fortress and Mali Court a hard time.

The army is composed of the three major branches of the Snake Cult and the legions of the priestess.

The leaders are the tyrant Desaro of the Cobra branch. The Cobra Knights under his command are well-armored and equipped with terrible two-handed axes and javelins. The Cobra infantry gave up their mounts and adopted deadly flying axes. They threw flying axes with unerring accuracy. As long as they touched a little, it usually meant death. Fortunately, they can't carry too many throwing axes at once, but they also use the knight's iconic two-handed axes, which are also coated with the same poison as the throwing axes. When the throwing axes are exhausted, they will swing the poisoned two-handed battle axes to crush the infantry line.

The second army is led by the Viper Branch Tyrant Bugitta, the Viper Heavy Archer Cavalry and the Viper Shadow Walker with first-class swordsmanship. They are warriors known for their speed. Their light armor and shadow-like swordsmanship usually make them stand in the middle of the team to play their greatest battlefield harvesting role. However, they often take some assassination missions issued by the Snake Cult in private and do those things that are not visible to the public...

The third army is the Python Super Heavy Knights and Python Super Heavy Infantry led by the Python Branch Tyrant Ovos. They are like tanks in the Snake Cult Legion and are warriors who rush to the front and bear damage. Heavy armor, huge shields and long-handled one-handed axes are typical of them, but because their armor and equipment are so heavy, they have to be left behind when they are on the road. However, it is said that these snake worship warriors of the giant python branch have python-like scales on their muscles.

Next are the snake worship priestesses who followed this battle, led by Saint Reis. Her followers and the priestesses and prophets under her will play a huge role on the battlefield - conveying the will and power of the snake god Azi Dahaka to every warrior.

Its personal guards are the Horned Viper Vanguard, equipped with the best armor and the best bows and arrows, poisoned scimitars, nimble and solid Horned Viper shields, and riding the legendary Sindarii elven horses. It is rumored that these soldiers were once noble Noldor, but since they are rarely seen, there is not much information about them. However, the most recent record in Barclay's history is that when chasing a Horned Viper Vanguard in the forests of Roseburg and Mettenheim, dozens of Barclay Lancers and dozens of Barclay Heavy Infantry were lost, and the Viper Vanguard escaped. Its ability to defeat a hundred elite troops alone is truly terrifying.
