[You have inspired the team, and the enemy is frightened by your bravery. At this time, you can take command or lead the team to attack. ]
Ken tore off his winter coat.
He picked up the axe from the pool of blood, raised it high, and cut off the orc's head.
Then, a roar broke out in the village of Ke, and all the warriors hiding in the ruins immediately joined the battlefield, venting their grief and anger to the invaders.
Ken stood on the bridge, and the arrowhead fell at his feet.
Blood soaked him from top to bottom, and he seemed to be panting, and a storm seemed to be gathering.
The bricks on the bridge were shaking.
The desperate bandits still had the advantage in numbers.
The enemy rushed towards him in a huge crowd, but the noise and shouting were so far away.
He could see that:
The enemy was not seeking revenge for the leader, but simply wanted to take advantage of the situation to kill him, establish a negligible prestige, and hope to gain an advantage when dividing the troops.
Despicable, selfish, and ambitious.
It seemed that Ken was not facing the snow lizard or armor and weapons, but thick gray fog, struggling with endless greed.
He was very calm, just standing there, and the nearest javelin brushed past his ear.
The sun cut a bevel between the clouds.
The bandit had come to him, with his sword and ugly face close to him, but an arrow pierced his throat.
Kuima rode a wolf and howled past him.
He moved repeatedly, making the snow lizard spin around on the stone guardrail, and his level of raising his hand to put the arrow was higher than usual. His anger and fighting spirit made him perform exceptionally.
The wolf pack also jumped out from the corner of his sight, rushing straight to kill, blocking him in front of him.
Ken felt very strange. This was his first time to experience such a team battle. Those people became brave under his encouragement.
More people were running, holding swords.
Ke'e's infantry rushed forward. They were the most excited because there was a village behind them, tombs around them, and the deadly enemy who slaughtered their homes in front of them.
The team first collided at the bridge head. After the fight, the wolves and snow lizards opened the battlefield.
The swords and axes collided, and everyone waved their weapons until their muscles swelled and ached, the blood dyed the land red, and the light reflected by the snow was plated with crimson and dark edges.
The chanters came to the front.
They stood outside the range of bows and arrows and chanted inspiring hymns.
As a result, the team suddenly advanced forward. The initial arrogance of the invaders had been suppressed, and no one could take over the command.
When the first deserter returned to the camp to steal things and left...
This bandit team was disbanded.
His soldiers gathered into a storm, raging back and forth between the camp and the stone bridge until there were no more enemy troops within the controllable range.
"Ah——"
The roar spread far away, like a flame, burning the backs of every escapee.
[The battle is over, 1 killed, 13 injured, 21 killed, 7 escaped. ]
When Ken came back, the captives had been rescued, and the villagers ran across the stone bridge with tears in their eyes and threw themselves into the arms of their families.
[You let the captives return home. ]
[Village·Kue: Sharing Life and Death]
He retracted his gaze and looked to the north. On the hillside, he could still see the backs of the fleeing bandits, the ownerless horses and lizards. These survivors would pass on the matter and let their names spread on the land of Palotusby.
[Reputation: 470]
His reputation has accumulated a lot so far.
The value it increases depends on a series of factors such as the audience, occasion, event, difficulty, etc., and it has only just come in handy until now.
The clouds have dispersed, and the sun is shining loosely again.
The tired crowd has their own understandings, some are shouting their heads off, and some are sitting down dejectedly. They have experienced a very difficult battle, and Ken's name and what happened today will be engraved in their hearts forever.
The surviving villagers and the scattered bandits.
Also, the scholars who will go to the Red Maple Highlands after returning.
Every mouth, every memory.
Ken's reputation will truly spread across the tundra of the northern border, and the mountain pass tavern will sooner or later talk about the battle banner of Sandon Kaya.
[From this battle, fate has stirred up ripples. As your influence continues to increase, the continent of Oshua will engrave your name more or less. ]
The bandits have been besieging Ke'e for several days.
Unexpectedly, Ken's arrival directly reversed the situation between the two sides, and the final ending was so neat and tidy.
The experience points have skyrocketed, and there is still a lot left after treating all the troops and villagers.
[Qualification: 3.5 Wisdom 2.9]
The attribute improvement is not much, but it is all obtained through life-and-death battles and judging the situation, which can be regarded as a harvest.
When the sun sets and night falls again, only our own people are left on both sides of the [Lubeck River].
The bonfire is burning, and the soldiers are still groping and searching between the tents.
A feast is held directly in the village.
Beef, mutton, and some preserved fruits, the food problem has been solved.
This group of bandits has committed all kinds of crimes that are hated by both humans and gods. Now the legacy they leave behind will become the foundation for Ken's troops to set out.
[Food: Winter Grass Wine]
[Effect: Increase the morale of the team in a small amount and improve the ability to resist cold. ]
Among them, there are actually some small surprises. Not all foods can bring benefits. Only by making them carefully and using some secret methods can this effect be achieved.
Ken stands at the bridgehead.
In front of him were all kinds of strange weapons, ranging from [wild goods] to [fine]. Kuima and the wolf riders were sorting them out so that he could see them at a glance.
Ke'e's team was lined up in front of him.
They took turns to come up, kneel on one knee, and swear to submit to Sandonkaya, so that Mother Winter could witness their loyalty to the war banner.
Ken mostly nodded and skipped it, and then distributed armor and weapons.
After all, everyone's attributes were clearly visible in front of him. Now is the early stage of development, and there are not many people. He can do it himself like this and select suitable equipment one by one.
[7 "tribal warriors" in the team, upgraded to "lizard cavalry"]
There are many mounts that can be recovered, but there are not many people who can really ride them. The same is true for horses. They are distributed according to needs. In short, the marching speed should be increased first.
[4 "militia" in the team, upgraded to "winter horse riders" ]
Ke'e Village had originally developed animal husbandry, and there were many good riders, so horses were the easiest problem to solve. With some weapons and equipment, another mobile unit would take shape.
[6 "archers" in the team, upgraded to "winter horse archers". ]
[Consumption war knife x8, two-handed axe x3, war bow x6]
"It seems that you will lead the team in the future."
"War banner is above."
Ken joked with Kuima.
But he did think so too. It was only a matter of time before his followers would lead the army alone. He had to make plans early and increase the long-range firepower so that he would not suffer the next time he faced such a confrontation.
