Lord: I have a Mount & Blade panel.

early summer.

The Kingdom of Empe, the Locha Hills.

[Achievement obtained: "A Person from Another World!"]

"Introduction: Travel through a world of swords and magic."

"Reward: Soul and body become one, immune to all attacks targeting the soul."

Ok?

Richard felt like his head was about to explode, as if a million flies were buzzing incessantly in his ears in a hazy state.

pain!

Not only was my head throbbing, but my whole body was also stinging with an unpleasant pain.

Enduring the discomfort throughout his body, Richard gathered his strength and struggled to get up from the grass. The sensation of his fingertips rubbing against the grass indicated that he was lying on a lush patch of grass.

Warm sunshine, a sweltering breeze...

He slightly opened his eyes, and the sunlight suddenly pierced his vision, causing him to instinctively raise his hand to shield his eyes.

Once his eyes adjusted to the light, Richard slowly removed his hand that had been blocking the sunlight.

On the wide, grassy hills, there are patches of lush, vigorous coniferous forests, and a few wispy white clouds float in the sky.

The familiar screen is gone, Old Wang is gone, the whole dormitory is gone.

The surroundings were completely unfamiliar.

Where am I? How did I end up here?

Richard's last memory was that he went back to his dormitory after get off work, fell asleep while playing Mount & Blade, and how did he end up here when he woke up?

Not far away, a group of blond, blue-eyed soldiers dressed in medieval European-style clothing or leather armor sat on the grass, looking exhausted as they drank tomato soup simmering in an iron pot over a campfire.

Some maids dressed in dark waitress uniforms were tidying up luggage by the carriage.

Just then, it was as if a pebble had been thrown into his mind, creating ripples.

He is a prince of the Kingdom of Empe, and his father is Ian II, known as the "tyrannical monarch," the 21st king of the Augustan royal family.

Her mother was the Queen of the Kingdom of Empe and also a half-elf.

The couple had two sons and three daughters together.

Richard was the second son, and the fourth in line.

There's an older brother, two older sisters, and a younger sister.

According to the succession law of the Kingdom of Empe, the eldest son has always inherited the throne, and his older brother has had many impressive nicknames since birth—Dragon Prince, Eagle of the Empire, a true dragon with golden blood flowing through his veins…

When a title changes from prince to king depends solely on how long the current king lives.

Therefore, Richard, who had absolutely no connection with inheriting the throne, was given an ordinary fiefdom and sent away from the capital after turning sixteen.

I was transported to a world of swords and magic, becoming Richard, a character with the same name? My status changed from a lowly laborer to the dignified fourth prince?

Although he was disliked by the king because of his timid nature, don't underestimate a prince.

No matter what, even a duke or prince has to give me some face.

Richard was dumbfounded. In his previous life, he had been a slave for more than ten years. Could it be that in this life, the good days of the great official Li were about to begin?

Just as Richard was pondering how to maintain his integrity and not forget the people after becoming a superior person, the remaining memories flooded back.

No, something's wrong...

As early as a year ago, Augustus's royal army had already clashed with the rebels!

Because his own territory was too far from the battlefield, the impact on this place was negligible. However, with the news of Prince Rek's death in the Tulip Plateau and the royal army's crushing defeat, everything changed.

He had become the only male heir remaining in the Augustan royal family, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he would naturally become the heir.

of course.

The premise is that King Ian, trapped in the capital city of Gandon, can defend this ancient holy city belonging to the Augustus family.

Otherwise, his fate would be extremely cruel.

The current situation is that 800,000 rebels have already marched towards the capital, and he, the only remaining male member of the Augustan royal family, has become the last thorn in their side.

Once the rebels break into Gundon and make their move, even if I am far away in the Strait of Malmö in the Storm Sea, they will not let me go.

Therefore, in order to safeguard the last glory of the Augustan royal family, the fourth prince had to be extremely farsighted and lead his own fiefdom's core group, which numbered only a few hundred people, to the "birthplace" of the Augustan family—High Cliff Castle.

Thousands of years ago, the first king of the Kingdom of Empe arrived here with a decree to conquer the continent of Assassin.

"Damn it..." Richard's expression froze instantly.

I thought I had gotten the Celestial Dragons instance, but it turned out to be joining the National Revolutionary Army in 49.

Damn God!

Although the current situation seems somewhat unfavorable, King Old Deng is still drawing fire in the capital.

When I finally reach Gaoyabao in the far-off Eastern Province, things may change drastically over the next thirty years.

"In that case, let's make a strategic retreat to High Cliff Fort first!" Richard took a deep breath.

From this moment forward, he is Prince Richard of the Augustan royal family.

Just then, a sudden feeling of weakness came from within him, and Richard couldn't help but stagger back a few steps, only to bump into something.

He instinctively reached behind him, trying to find something to lean on.

The problem arose immediately upon touching it, because it was impossible to grasp with one hand. Richard could discern from the tactile sensation that it was a part of the human body.

Even more critically, Richard, with his extensive experience, had never seen such an exaggeratedly magnificent mountain.

However, before Richard could experience the most direct visual impact, the ground suddenly began to tremble slightly.

The sound of horses' hooves galloping at high speed gradually rose into the air.

Rumbling--

From afar, it gradually magnified, like rumbling thunder.

Richard looked in the direction of the sound.

He discovered that his eyesight had become surprisingly good. Normally, without his glasses, he couldn't distinguish between people and animals more than ten meters away, but now he could see green grasshoppers on the grass blades at the very edge of his vision.

As far as the eye could see, the horizon twisted in the smoke and dust, twisting Richard's heart as well.

Ten miles away, the rye grass, surging like waves, seemed to have been cleaved in two by a giant blade. Countless dark figures, measuring this vast hilly land with their hooves, emerged from the sea of ​​grass like Moses parting the Red Sea.

He could no longer hear any other sounds; all he could hear was the deafening sound of horses' hooves. He clutched his chest with one hand and supported his pectoral muscles with the other, staring wide-eyed at the human cavalry rolling in from afar, billowing dust in the air, forming a continuous line.

The other side was like a gleaming scythe, slashing straight at him.

The earth was shaking, and the grass was trembling.

A force of at least a hundred cavalrymen, clad in green robes and leather chainmail, were charging wildly.

And it seems the target is still him.

Could it be that the capital city of Ganton has already been captured?

Even a layman can see that once the two sides clash, the huge gap in their strength means that it will be a battle with no suspense.

Their fate will likely be no different from that of wheat about to be harvested by the old farmer.

Gan Lin Niang, shouldn't such a powerful scene only appear in the later stages?

I was already unlucky enough to get the "Kingdom Demise" scenario, but I didn't expect the first monster in the newbie village to be so powerful!

Richard's heart felt like it was bleeding.

At that moment, two hands were placed on his shoulders, and he felt himself lift off the ground. His vision was forcibly twisted 180 degrees, and he was facing the owner of the pectoral muscles.

The silver-haired girl's chest was even broader than Richard had imagined, and a gleaming gold panel covered his face.

"Sylvie" SSR

Expand the "Properties Panel"? ↓

Obi-Warrior! The Golden Legend!

I'm bowing down to Brother Tong!

The familiar panel shocked Richard, and he couldn't help but speak the dialect of the Behemoths of this world.

Although a system seems to be a standard feature for transmigrators, not every transmigrator has one. As the saying goes, a transmigrator without a system is like a blade of grass.

In the early stages, one must inevitably endure countless beatings and hardships before one can barely manage to live a somewhat enjoyable life.

But with the system, things were different. Richard seemed to see his future extraordinary life, which required no explanation at all.

The other person then set Richard down, removed the slender, white hand from the leather armor on his chest, and said solemnly, "Your Highness!"

The girl wore a full suit of bulging leather armor, which was bound to a fine rabbit skin belt. She wore a pair of fine deerskin hunting boots, and together with the tempered longsword hanging at her side, she exuded an aura of heroism and competence.

With her beautiful, long eyes and tall figure, she was as beautiful as a peach blossom in early spring.

"Hmm?" Richard snapped out of his daze at the name flashing with gold.

"I'm sorry, I was rude to you!" the girl said, slightly hurriedly, "but we've been discovered by the enemy! They must be the vanguard of the rebels! You must leave with the guards immediately!"

Anxiety was evident in the other person's silver eyes.

Richard then placed his hand on her shoulder, patted her gently, and smiled confidently. "I understand, Sylvie. Let's go."

Perhaps influenced by the prince's composure, Sylvie's emotions also relaxed considerably.

It wasn't that Richard had developed the ability to remain calm even when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.

Instead, there's a cheat code!

The confidence to not care stems from strength!

Richard released Sylvie's shoulder and turned to walk towards the camp.

The properties panel was opened.

Reward: "Soul Exemption"

This is the Mount & Blade system he brought with him from his time travel!

No wonder he was complaining about the pain; he was building muscle.

After all, the attributes on this panel were something that the weak prince in the past could not have possessed.

I just don't know what level the Mount & Blade attributes, which have been modified with D&D attribute mods, would be in this world.

It's important to know that in the D&D universe, this attribute is the pinnacle for mortals; even an adult red dragon only has 27 points in Strength.

The soldiers who were drinking soup by the campfire had already put down their bowls, stood up one by one, placed their hands on their sword hilts, and looked slightly tense.

Although they could neither hear the sound of horses' hooves nor see the cavalry ten miles away, the news had already spread like wildfire through the mouths of the scouts, reaching everyone's hearts.

The maids were pale, and the servants were hurriedly packing up the luggage.

They were all making their way to Gaoyabao at a leisurely pace. Although they often heard news of the rebels, it seemed as if they were still far away.

It wasn't until the enemy suddenly attacked that I felt a sense of impending doom.

"Quiet down!"

Richard's voice wasn't loud, but it made those around him instinctively shut their mouths.

All eyes turned to their prince, feeling that His Highness seemed somewhat different today.

Richard: "Sylvie."

"Your Highness," Sylvie said with a serious expression.

"How long until the enemy arrives?"

The silver-haired girl quickly glanced at the hilly terrain and the distance to the other side, her tone regaining the composure of a graduate of the Royal Military Academy: "Judging by the distance, we are about eight to ten miles away. At their current speed, they should be able to reach us in about half an hour, or even less."

Sylvie paused, her voice low: "Your Highness, if I may be so bold, with our strength, we probably would have a hard time dealing with this force of over a hundred elite cavalrymen... The best course of action now is for you to leave with the guards."

Richard saw a resolute determination in the other man's bright silver eyes—

Without a doubt, this girl was determined to lead everyone except the guards to cover his retreat.

Not only are they SSR hero units, but they are also so loyal.

How could Richard possibly give up on this guaranteed golden legendary character card at the start of the game?

"How many cavalrymen do we have?" Richard didn't answer her, but continued to ask.

His predecessor studied in the ancient holy city of Gangdunli from a young age, and was familiar with the various human history and culture of the Asian continent. He liked music and painting, and dreamed of becoming a wandering poet who traveled the continent and frequented taverns. However, he knew nothing about military affairs.

He doesn't even know how many followers he has.

"Thirty-seven riders, Your Highness," Sylvie replied quickly. "There are also forty-three soldiers, and the rest are support staff, totaling two hundred and twenty-three, including maids, cooks, and coachmen."

Eighty men against a hundred elite cavalry.

Richard cursed inwardly, but his face remained expressionless.

Based on Sylvie's military knowledge, aside from covering the retreat, the only other way was to use wagons to form a circle and create a simple wall on the grass.

This is a common defensive tactic used when facing an attack on open grasslands, and it is currently the most likely way to stop these cavalry charges.

Otherwise, their only fate would be to have their heads slowly cut off by the other side.

"Your Highness, should we defend...?"

Sylvie was about to reveal her plan, but before she could say "defense with a carriage," Richard interrupted her.

"Sylvie, you're right! We all share the same head, the same life, we all risked our lives!"

Richard abruptly drew his gleaming silver longsword from his waist: "Eighty men it is! That's less than three men per person! Rather than waiting for them to come and cut off our heads, we might as well go all out!"

No, wait?

Sylvie's beautiful face was flushed with a hint of white, her small mouth slightly open. "I never said to go all out! And is this how you calculate war?"
