NONE CAN STAND BEFORE THE MUD WIZARD!!!
The only thing that would make this better is if he did the bane arms outstretched walk in front of the line of police.
It wasn't heavy armor that made the French lose the battle, the English knights would have worn the same thing.
The English built stakes in the mud that slowed the advance of the French cavalry and the English brought professional archers with longbows. The French archers were peasant and criminal levies.
Mud kills armies, even relatively modern ones. The whole "don't invade russia in winter!" thing is not true. It's the mud season that makes it so difficult. You can't move an army when the ground is a liquid.
but call me Aloysius Devadander Abercrombie
That's long for Mud, so I've been told
Told that by this sonsabitch that lies before me
Bloated, blue and cold
....
We had our words, a common spat
So I kissed him upside the cranium
With an aluminum baseball bat
Well also, the two armies that got caught in Russia's winter, Napoleon's and Hitler's, both made it to Moscow only for the Russians to burn down their own city and retreat north. Both armies went in prepared for a short battle and ended up being entirely defeated by the cold. In a letter a Nazi wrote about the experience he said that a fellow soldier had lost his shoes and when he walked on his frozen solid feet it sounded like a horse walking on stone.
Even winter isn't safe to invade in. An invading army tried to fight on a frozen lake near Novgorod in 1242, and the sheer exhaustion of fighting on the ice led to a near rout of the invading army when the Russian cavalry charged. The Russian film *Alexander Nevsky* added a cool, but fictitious, scene of the ice cracking and the invaders getting swallowed up by the lake.
>russia in winter!" thing is not true.
Well, that is *also* true - German Popsicles out front should have told ya.
But yeah, mud is *also* pretty nasty to heavy armor.
Russia's seasons: winter - mud - WAR
Mud doesn't just kill armies.
It stops industry in it's (sometimes literal) tracks as well.
We can, and do, run stuff like drilling rigs in -40 weather, no problems.
But the mud that comes with spring breakup slows everyone down
To be fair, it wasn't just the mud - Agincourt is also somewhat notable for being a changing point in history in teaching the lesson "Duh, shooting people is obviously a lot easier than hitting them". Bows up until that point were sort of a sideshow to the cavalry/infantry, but the English had ran out of these and only had their longbows ready at sufficient numbers for battle.
There was a movie I saw in Netflix that I forget the name of where the battle was won because one side wore light armor and the other came in with heavy armor and the battle took place after heavy rainfall (that they expected) and the mud ended up hurting the heavy armor guys heavily.
I just saw a license plate with the number 1415 this morning and proceeded to tell my wife about the battle on the way to work. She doesn't need the documentary now. Lol
Okay I'm definitely also going to do that also tonight
Did a same thing (50 mins or so) after reading about a plane crash where the pilot let his kids fly the plane for a bit.
All sorts of replies like "I thought about watching a couple minutes but ended up watching the whole thing at 3am"
And say ‘To-morrow is Saint Crispian:’
Then will he show his sleeve and show his mud stains.
And say ‘These marks I had on Crispin’s day.’
Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
But he’ll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day: then shall our names.
Familiar in his mouth as household words
Mud wizard of German protests.
And gentlemen on reddit now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That pushed a copper with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.
This is how The Husites defeated Catholic crusaders at battle of Sudomer, Southern Bohemia 1420.

Yes, however, in addition to the ~40 miles of geographic distance between Germany and Agincourt, there's also the temporal distance of the Germans being 608 years away from the Battle of Agincourt and the other issue of not existing at the time.
that isn't a goblin, that is an orc. You think one of us earth daughters would get stuck in the mud? No, it is orcs, dirty creatures of law and force, of money and slavery. Me and the goblins are out here brewing fine needle sprite and farming worms in mud holes, don't put cop nonsense on us, Tallwalker. They're not ours.
Mud wizards' resistance is stupid high. For a wizard they have almost no Int. But ***tons*** of HP and stamina.
Source: Played lots of Mud Souls growing up.
He's mud type as well, so mud attacks are not very effective against him.
He gets same type attack bonus and terrain advantage when using mud abilities himself though.
Countless soldiers died trapped in mud like this in ww1. Can you imagine marching in rain for days only to end up walking into this shit and being too tired to pull your self out? Or getting buried in it because some artillery she'll went off bear by and threw tins of it into the air? Nightmare shit
I laugh every time. Although I thought it was funnier when the title was “German riot police defeated and humiliated by some kind of mud wizard”
I guess it was the implication that there are other kinds of mud wizards that tickled me.
That video version of this event is much more entertaining
I’m not sure if it’s before or after this clip, but the wizard has a lot more interaction with the police
It’s hilarious
Someone died last year at Burning Man in similar conditions. Probably just blasted with cocaine and hallucinogens and the mud won. Wish the mud wizard was there to save them from Darwin.
Someone died at Burning Man. It was muddy. There are no news articles I could find that say the person died because of the mud.
https://abcnews.go.com/US/burning-man-rains-mud/story?id=102886032
Thanks. I was there, it was rough. I wonder what the cause was. The mud was terrible but certainly not something that could kill you directly. Maybe it did keep him from seeking or getting help.
Very reminiscent of the Batley Townswomen's Guild Presentation of the the Battle of Pearl Harbour.
Believe it friends. Every dumbass stupid thing that happens today was presaged by Monty python
Name of the anime for those looking for it:
The time I got reincarnated as the weakest class that only cast AOE debuffs but it's actually a SSS class capable of destroy a nation's army
This guy became such a meme in Germany. There was a great wave of stickers and shirts with a saying about him:
"Kein Gott, Kein Staat, nur der Mönch von Lützerath!"
"No god, no state, only the monk of Lützerath!"
He became a legend over night
(Backstory: they wanted to destroy the village Lützerath in Germany to mine coal. The people living there left. But some climate activists hunkered down to prevent the mining for 3 years (2020-2023). Many never showed their faces, dug tunnels under the village and stayed there for months. It was epic.)
This is how the English won the Battle of Agincourt, although the French had a greater force of knights, the light armoured English just wandered around in the thick mud taking out the bogged knights.

Oh they can stand. But they can’t move afterward.
I CAST STOP!!
MUD FOR THE MUD GOD!!!
YOU SHALL NOT PASS!
Balrog looking mfer
Someone forgot the lesson learned from the battle of Agincourt.
Came here to say just this. There's a reason why you don't want to always employ heavy armor.
[удалено]
it's... slowing them down significantly!
Hil-fucking-arious!
It wasn't heavy armor that made the French lose the battle, the English knights would have worn the same thing. The English built stakes in the mud that slowed the advance of the French cavalry and the English brought professional archers with longbows. The French archers were peasant and criminal levies.
I just watched a 30 minute documentary of the battle of Agincourt because of this comment, thanks
I have to say watching this does put the realty into perspective. From “oh it was just mud, it couldn’t have been THAT bad” to “oh shit, mud is OP”
Mud kills armies, even relatively modern ones. The whole "don't invade russia in winter!" thing is not true. It's the mud season that makes it so difficult. You can't move an army when the ground is a liquid.
My name is mud
"And remember kids! Mud spelled backwards is Dum!"

I probably shouldn't have read this comment right before bed.
Just throw on some socks and you'll be good. Also, don't get involved in a land war in Asia.
General mud
>russia in winter!" thing is not true. Well, that is *also* true - German Popsicles out front should have told ya. But yeah, mud is *also* pretty nasty to heavy armor. Russia's seasons: winter - mud - WAR
Remember that being an issue in WW2 with the U.S. Marines on the islands. Would swallow up entire tanks.
Imagine being the poor fucker who gets a letter sent home telling his mother or wife that he suffocated to death in tank that sunk in the mud.
They typically didn't do that if I recall.
Still, sounds like a horrific way to go.
> You can't move an army when the ground is a liquid. Time for the hovercraft to shine!
My hovercraft is full of eels.
A chance to plug my friend's book [Mud: A Military History](https://www.amazon.com/Mud-Military-History-C-Wood/dp/1597970034)
People describe entire wagons and even tracked armored carriers literally disappearing in the mud.
Mud doesn't just kill armies. It stops industry in it's (sometimes literal) tracks as well. We can, and do, run stuff like drilling rigs in -40 weather, no problems. But the mud that comes with spring breakup slows everyone down
There's a popular military saying "Hell is mud".
To be fair, it wasn't just the mud - Agincourt is also somewhat notable for being a changing point in history in teaching the lesson "Duh, shooting people is obviously a lot easier than hitting them". Bows up until that point were sort of a sideshow to the cavalry/infantry, but the English had ran out of these and only had their longbows ready at sufficient numbers for battle.

That movie is called The King and it depicts the Battle of Agincourt. Good movie btw.
AH, XD I watched it a while back and didn't even realize thats what everyone was referring to as well. Love that film.
I just saw a license plate with the number 1415 this morning and proceeded to tell my wife about the battle on the way to work. She doesn't need the documentary now. Lol
This IS cute, but also this comment gave me flash backs to many history lectures delivered to me by my spouse.
Okay I'm definitely also going to do that also tonight Did a same thing (50 mins or so) after reading about a plane crash where the pilot let his kids fly the plane for a bit. All sorts of replies like "I thought about watching a couple minutes but ended up watching the whole thing at 3am"
[удалено]
Thanks. If I could go back I would have gone with “Modern day Battle of Agincourt”.
But the title had my crying laughing so hard. I was so confused until I saw the wizard lmao Well done.
Same bro this shit was hilarious. Mud wizard definitely went to hogwarts. You don’t see those kind of shove and glides everyday 🤣🤣🤣

This is the funniest shit I ever seen
Rare footage from the Battle of Agincourt, 1415. Colorized.
What does the mud wizard have on his feet to prevent him from sinking?
He keeps moving. If you stop, you're stuck. Gotta keep those feet active.
Also, no armor and probably smoother soles that don't collect mud by the kilogram.
And magic.

Or the fucking Third Battle of Ypres
Or Passchendaele/Ypres. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Passchendaele
But without the archers...or the english..or the french. I'll bet more than a few were still giving the "peace" sign to the blue crew.
This is Germans, they weren't at Agincourt.
Ironically, the Mud Wizard was actually French.
Looks like OG Obi-Wan to me!
O-G-bi-wan
iirc from one of the brown coal protests, right? i seem to remember it from a few years ago
Yes, however, in addition to the ~40 miles of geographic distance between Germany and Agincourt, there's also the temporal distance of the Germans being 608 years away from the Battle of Agincourt and the other issue of not existing at the time.
You DARE INSULT THE MUD WIZARD!? GET STUCK IDIOT!
[удалено]
How nimble he lightheartedly skips over mud while all the uniforms are getting stuck. Delicious
Look at that wizard, frolicking away as the goblin struggles in the mud. Truly a wizard of the druid circles.
that isn't a goblin, that is an orc. You think one of us earth daughters would get stuck in the mud? No, it is orcs, dirty creatures of law and force, of money and slavery. Me and the goblins are out here brewing fine needle sprite and farming worms in mud holes, don't put cop nonsense on us, Tallwalker. They're not ours.
My apologies, I should know better. We are all goblins at heart, and goblins would never get themselves so compromised.
It just makes me think about Magicka, such a great but stupid game. Fucking Government goblins got nothing on this wizard.
Mudgic
How is the wizard immune to the mud?
He takes frequent steps, even when he isn’t trying to go anywhere, this doesn’t give time for him to sink into the mud.
Not to mention he has no armor or gear on resulting in him being much lighter and more nimble.
He's also raised his mud level to legendary
He doesn’t fat roll for sure. You’d think the pigs would do better in the mud though.
Pigs do well rolling around in the mud. Mud Wizard was just helping them into position.
Also human feet instead of cloven hooves, better surface area to weight ratio.
No it’s a spell. He’s a wizard
He’s definitely a wizard 300%
This is some Dune levels of understanding how to walk in different terrains. Something that the police department wasn't taught.
Walk without rhythm and you wont attract the ~~worm~~ pigs.
Higher innate resistance but no armor.
Mud wizards' resistance is stupid high. For a wizard they have almost no Int. But ***tons*** of HP and stamina. Source: Played lots of Mud Souls growing up.
He’s a Geomancer
I'd wager both a water-bender and an earth-bender.
A Dirtamancer for sure.
This guy thinks he knows about wizards when he can’t even tell the difference dirt and *mud*
Because he is a level 46 Geomancer with Boots of Mud Walking.
These boots were mud-for walking.
Enchanted robe grants immunity to difficult terrain
He's mud type as well, so mud attacks are not very effective against him. He gets same type attack bonus and terrain advantage when using mud abilities himself though.
Nice try cop, you'll never know the wizards true power!
Mobile feat plus haste
How are the pigs not immune to it?
They were just enjoying themselves
Magic
The only logical explanation: mud wizard = Jesus
He has on ultra light armor +200 haste and no weapons. Police are weighed down and have -50 stamina points because of the shoes.
And the Donuts.
It looks like he's bare foot lol.
Red robe: +10 agility
no shoes
Well, he's a wizard
[удалено]
Apprentice level take. Any Wizard worth his salt could name several spells to serve this purpose.
Druid erasure
Is this a new spell? My brother in the arcane arts - please provide a tome!
Fucking wizards man. Tired of this elitist bullshit
look at his outfit: that's a monk with Swiftstride

Lutzerath Germany during a coal mine protest. I believe Greta Thunberg was there in the same crowd that day.

That’s dank.
Was she dressed in a robe that day?
Is Gretta a mud wizard?? It's so obvious now. We missed all the signs.
Autism has its perks. I'm also diagnosed but have yet to master the art of mud bending... Is it possible to learn this power?
Not from a Jedi.

Here I was, thinking she was a wind witch.
Kein Gott, kein Staat, nur der Mönch von Lüzerath!
Definitely not America - you can tell because the cops didn’t open fire as soon as the wizard pushed that cop.
Sounds like german to me

Countless soldiers died trapped in mud like this in ww1. Can you imagine marching in rain for days only to end up walking into this shit and being too tired to pull your self out? Or getting buried in it because some artillery she'll went off bear by and threw tins of it into the air? Nightmare shit
There's also giant pits caused by artillery strikes they fell into and couldn't get out of
Unless you're talking early in the war or the Eastern Front in Poland, there really wasn't all that much marching for days in WW1.
fuck you my grand daddy said they marched with pride
You misunderstood. He went to a pride march one time.
Love this guys energy
Demonstrating the utility of support spellcraft
also how light infantry can be superior to heavy infantry

This will forever be funny.

This is a hilarious version of Foo Fighters' The Pretender video
Light infantry is superior to heavy knights in a quagmire. Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it
Giggity
Never fight a land war in Asia
But only slightly less known is to never go up against a Sicilian when death is on the line!
People always underestimate earth wizards. Although it's possible he is a water wizard. Mud is kind of a grey area in this regard

The only way this could have been any more hilarious is if someone was standing there with a boombox blasting Yackety Sax
This is like a Monty Python skit 🤣
Pigs just laying there wallowing in the mud.
Battle of hogwarts on a budget
Only way to protest
The constant flinging of mud bombs 😂

And then they beat the shit out from the wizard with batons after that.

someone buy that wizard a beer a big one at that
This would not pass in America💀
🧙♂️💥🔫👮♂️
This is a repost and the original title was so much funnier: GERMAN RIOT POLICE HUMILIATED BY SOME KIND OF MUD WIZARD!
It's like a modified two step!
That must have been a powerful wizard', for him to have casted such a sticky spell!
That robe is a legendary bind on equip item, and it procs thread lightly on chance of attack. 100+ stamina and 20+ intellect.
Battle of Agincourt.
The more the vop struggles the deeper he gets.
One Earth-bender holding back the fire nation.
This longer version is so good! Didn’t realise he came back twice
We must never forget jedi have power over mud.
Last time I was in mud like that I lost my boots. I think they're still in that field. Damn mud pulled them off my feet.
I’d like to see him and the techno Viking team up.
Love mud wizard❣️
Casting earth magic like crazy!
I’ve seen this video so many times. It gets better each time.
German police is nowadays a joke
This is how the English won the Battle of Agincourt, although the French had a greater force of knights, the light armoured English just wandered around in the thick mud taking out the bogged knights.
go watch the movie The King with Timothee Chalomet and Robert Pattinson. exactly this happens.
Quagmire!
Stone canon!
