A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

With the simple torches all made.

Once lit, the firelight began to appear in the hands of these Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers.

"Let's go, we'll go in and take a look."

Shen Mu dismounted his horse at this time, and because of the confined environment, he did not carry his spear, but instead drew his Holy Tree Knight Sword.

At the same time, he instructed the 10 Khergit people and 5 Steppe Bandits: "You stay here and are responsible for guarding the horses. If you encounter any special situations, return to New Rivacheg to take shelter."

The special situation Shen Mu was referring to was the parasitic monsters that might appear again.

After all, these parasitic monsters, after being controlled by the devil, can be active during the day.

Although one or two might not pose much of a threat to these Khergit people and Steppe Bandits.

But if they come in groups, with only these few Khergit people and 5 Steppe Bandits, they obviously cannot truly fight those parasitic monsters who are also Tier 1 and Tier 2 in strength.

The advantage in numbers alone can completely overwhelm these Khergit people and Steppe Bandits.

In order to ensure the number of these Khergit people, Shen Mu can keep them safe.

"Lord, everything is ready."

Alayen walked over at this time to report to Shen Mu.

"Yes, very good."

Shen Mu looked at the distribution of one simple torch for every 5 people, and nodded in satisfaction.

Then, looking ahead at the dark subway shopping mall entrance, he raised his head and pointed his chin over there, saying: "Alayen, you lead 5 Holy Tree Knights and 50 Holy Tree Cavalry to go ahead."

"Understood."

Alayen responded, then drew his knight's sword and walked forward.

"Holy Tree Knights."

Shen Mu pointed to the 5 Holy Tree Knights who were walking forward with Alayen, and instructed: "You 5 protect Knight Alayen."

"Understood."

The 5 Holy Tree Knights nodded immediately.

They all understood that in terms of true combat power, although Knight Alayen was on par with them.

But as top knights with mithril, a magical material, mixed into their weapons and armor, they would be stronger when facing evil.

After all, no matter what, the Pendor world is still a low-magic world.

Even if the inheritance of magical power is lost, the magical materials left behind can still cause huge damage to evil.

The remaining 5 Holy Tree Knights and 50 Holy Tree Cavalry.

Were led by Shen Mu himself.

And those 5 Holy Tree Knights were also key to protecting him.

"Let's go."

At this moment, Alayen had already begun to move forward quickly, leading the Holy Tree Knights and Holy Tree Cavalry, and quickly walked into the subway shopping mall.

The chainmail on these Holy Tree Knights and Holy Tree Cavalry rustled as they moved forward quickly.

Making them appear even more majestic.

'Huff!'

As the burning simple torches were extended forward.

The darkness and gray fog entrenched in the subway shopping mall quickly receded. As the light appeared, there were panicked and chaotic footsteps inside.

But the footsteps were obviously fleeing quickly towards the depths of the subway shopping mall.

And there were also low roars mixed with anger and unwillingness.

Then, it easily gave way to the first floor of this subway shopping mall.

Alayen and the Holy Tree Knights and Holy Tree Cavalry occupied it, and after carefully checking it and confirming that there was no danger, they later welcomed Shen Mu and the remaining troops in.

"Lord Shen Mu, everything has been checked, there is no danger."

Alayen reported: "However, we also found a staircase leading down, it seems that there is a large space under this building."

Shen Mu looked in the direction Alayen reported.

In this first floor, similar to a shopping mall complex, but with only simple concrete walls and brick walls, obviously unfinished shopping mall hall, a staircase leading down appeared there.

Similarly, only the main structure was completed, and the staircase with only concrete steel bars had not had time to be tiled.

Appearing to be an extremely simple pedestrian staircase.

"Lord, it's here!"

On both sides of the pedestrian staircase, ten Holy Tree Cavalrymen were standing there holding long swords and torches.

Illuminated by the dim firelight.

One could vaguely see the darker, more concentrated darkness and gray fog below, and the gradually heating temperature of the Holy Tree Knight suit worn by Shen Mu.

Representing the threat within.

And the strong warning from Mithril against that evil force!

"When I led these knights and cavalrymen in just now, I heard the sound of retreat, it seemed to be leaving from here."

Alayen said at this time: "If nothing else, perhaps our enemy is in the darkness under this staircase."

"Yes, that should be the case."

Shen Mu nodded.

However, he did not directly let Alayen lead the troops down.

Instead, he looked at this subway shopping mall hall, which had just been built and still looked extremely simple, as if it were in a Syrian war zone style.

Shen Mu asked: "Has this hall been completely checked?"

"There is also the second floor."

Alayen opened his mouth.

But as soon as he finished speaking.

He subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of the second floor.

His face hesitated, and then his eyes showed some solemnity: "I'm sorry, Lord Shen Mu, I was too excited when I heard the sound of pursuit just now, I haven't arranged for soldiers to check the second floor yet."

This subway shopping mall that has not yet been built, not only has a basement floor.

There is also a second floor that has already been built.

Although some areas on the top of the second floor are still bare with steel bars.

Obviously, it has not been capped.

But this does not mean that there is no way to hide any ambushing troops on it.

"Then go."

Shen Mu said.

He, who has always been vigilant and attached great importance to his life, of course saw the second floor that had not yet been searched.

He also understood that Alayen, a Vikeing nobleman knight with a typical straightforward character, had some reckless habits.

"Understood."

Alayen pursed his lips, not arguing.

Immediately, he led the Holy Tree Knights and Holy Tree Cavalry behind him and rushed towards the staircase to the second floor, quickly carrying the long swords in their hands.

But before they could approach the staircase leading to the second floor, in the dark hiding place on the second floor.

"Aww!"

A strange roar came again.

Then, in the darkness at the top of the second floor, shadows jumped down one after another, pouncing towards Alayen and everyone present!

The black shadows came one after another, in extremely large numbers.

Even in front of these Holy Tree Knights and Holy Tree Cavalry, and those Vikeing archers who had just entered and had not had time to organize a defensive formation.

They pounced down like a tide, and the sounds of roaring in their ears alone.

Made their scalps tingle slightly!

They were indeed ambushed!

"Holy Tree Knights! Protect me and Alayen!"

Shen Mu immediately said in a deep voice at this time: "Holy Tree Cavalry, Vikeing archers, form a circular defensive position!"

Shen Mu was not surprised by this.

Especially since he already knew from the system's prompts that the devil was obviously a lawful evil camp.

In terms of intelligence and tactical arrangements, they are no less than normal humans.

Even under the premise that they are more insidious and cunning.

Then the obvious lure to go deep.

Was directly seen through by Shen Mu!

"Understood!"

Beside him, as Shen Mu's steady orders were issued one after another.

Those Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers who were originally caught off guard and quite nervous because of being ambushed, immediately seemed to have found their backbone at this time.

Including Alayen and the dismounted cavalry who had already rushed out, but were forced to retreat because of those dark red figures jumping down.

Immediately, the Holy Tree Cavalry stood on the outermost periphery, followed by the Vikeing archers holding two-handed axes.

Forming a circle.

Firmly, like camping, they were stationed in the center of this subway shopping mall hall.

Facing the countless dark red figures that seemed to be surging like a tide, they began to rely on the excellent protection ability of the Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers, as well as their strong combat will, and skilled combat skills.

They started to defend and counterattack on the spot!

"Aww Aww Aww!"

And this time, it was still those parasitic monsters with dark red bodies.

Baring their fangs and opening their sharp-toothed claws.

Pouncing over.

But they were quickly stopped by these people who formed a defensive circle, holding simple torches, shields and Holy Tree Knight Swords, and the two-handed axes behind them.

Blocking them head-on!

"Holy Tree Knights! Long live!"

"For the Kingdom of Vaegirs!"

Accompanied by those angry roars.

Even these parasitic monsters, hundreds, thousands, crashed like waves against every position around the circular formation.

They firmly trapped Shen Mu and the others on the spot.

But as the battle progressed.

It quickly descended into a white-hot, brutal slaughter.

Those being slaughtered were the parasitic monsters.

The Holy Tree cavalry standing on the outer perimeter, and the Vaegir archers behind them, who would suddenly strike with their two-handed axes, inflicting fatal blows.

Were unable to inflict much effective damage!

"Let us charge in!" At this moment, Eren had also realized that these parasitic monsters, although seemingly numerous.

Their quality and combat power were extremely low and weak.

Then he drew his knightly sword, seeing the largest number and the most intense impact, causing a section of the Holy Tree cavalry to subconsciously raise their left arm's Holy Tree cavalry shield, slightly retreating.

He actually led his 5 Holy Tree Knights, directly charging over.

Squeezing past those Holy Tree cavalry.

Like a madman, he charged into the parasitic monsters, wielding his knightly sword, and began to slaughter them wantonly.

With limbs and broken arms flying everywhere.

For a time, Eren and his 5 Holy Tree Knights were like opening a 'Musou' mode among those parasitic monsters.

Casually slaughtering them.

They even circled around the circular formation formed by the Holy Tree cavalry, patrolling the outer perimeter!

"All Holy Tree Knights, move out! Support Eren!" Shen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly at the scene before him.

He really didn't expect that these parasitic monsters surrounding him, numbering in the thousands.

Would have such weak combat power.

"Understood!"

Behind Shen Mu, the remaining 5 Holy Tree Knights clenched the Holy Tree Knight swords in their hands and strode forward.

Similarly, they squeezed through the defensive circle of Vaegir archers and Holy Tree cavalry.

Came to the outside.

Raising the knightly swords in their hands, they wantonly swung them.

Easily hacking the parasitic monsters that dared to appear in front of them into broken limbs, easily killing them all.

Then they followed the pace of Eren and his 5 Holy Tree Knights.

Circling around the entire circular defensive perimeter.

Slaughtering wave after wave of parasitic monsters that were still pouncing and charging at the formation!

"For the Holy Tree Knights!"

"For the Kingdom of Vaegirs!"

To the point that the Holy Tree cavalry and Vaegir archers who had already formed a circular defensive formation, at this time, excitedly began to shout.

Then the circular defensive formation immediately disbanded, and these soldiers, already aware of the extremely weak strength of the parasitic monsters charging at them, directly chose to rush out and continue to slaughter these attacking enemies.

Engaging in a counter-attack!

And this scene was like the most classic center-outflanking tactic.

A bloody flower blooming with the corpses of the enemies, as these Holy Tree cavalry and Vaegir archers rushed outwards, stretched out like blooming petals, encountering any resistance.

Represents the enemy's collapse!

"Charge!"

Whether it was Eren, the Holy Tree Knights, or the Holy Tree cavalry and Vaegir archers, they were all using close-quarters weapons to kill.

Whether it was a knightly sword, a cavalry sword, or a two-handed axe, at this time, they all became the best assistants in slaughter.

Killing those dark red, emaciated parasitic monsters, turning them into corpses all over the ground.

Turning them into eggs hitting rocks.

Being turned into scattered limbs and broken arms by the weapons in the hands of the Holy Tree Knights and Vaegir archers.

Not even being able to find a complete corpse.

"Attention all soldiers!"

At this time, watching the soldiers in the supermarket hall, who had completely disbanded their formation and still wanted to chase after the scattered remnants of the parasitic monsters.

Shen Mu directly stopped them and loudly ordered: "No unauthorized pursuit! Everyone! Return immediately and reform the formation!"

"No unauthorized pursuit! Return to Lord Shen Mu's side! Reform the ranks!"

"No unauthorized pursuit! Come back! Line up!"

Those members of the Holy Tree Knights, as well as the captains of the Vaegir archers, were calling out to their team members.

These soldiers, who were originally excited and followed Eren out to continue chasing and killing the parasitic monsters.

At this time, hearing the calls.

Immediately stopped their pursuit.

Even if they had already knocked the parasitic monsters to the ground with the weapons in their hands, as long as they added one more blow, they could completely solve them.

But hearing the calls, they immediately turned around and quickly walked in the direction they had come from.

Warily looking around to prevent themselves from being suddenly attacked.

Then they returned to Shen Mu's side.

Re-forming the formation.

Restoring the complete, orderly, more imposing, and more confident appearance of the combat team!

Shen Mu didn't want to let his Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers scatter casually like this, because chasing the enemy could lead to accidents.

After all, this was in the devil's lair.

He had to be careful.

"Lord! The enemies in this subway supermarket hall have been driven back!"

At this time, Eren was covered in blood, and after a bloody battle, his spirit was even more excited.

Looking at the stairs on the -1 floor, his eyes already undisguisedly revealed his intention to take the lead in leading the troops to take a look.

"Well done." Shen Mu was very satisfied with this Vaegir noble knight who was eager to fight.

In the world of Mount \u0026 Blade warbands, Eren was the best warrior.

Still a charging-type elite warrior fighting bravely on the front lines.

Compared to commanding ability.

Personally leading the team to charge and kill the enemy, just like just now, was Eren's strength.

Compared to Fatis, who could independently command cavalry and lead cavalry charges, Eren was like the sharpest spear.

He was a trap-and-kill general who could directly stab out and inflict a heavy blow directly on the enemy's heart.

So Shen Mu did not hide his praise.

Moreover, at this time, he also earnestly instructed Eren, who was already breathing heavily and showing signs of some physical exhaustion: "Now, I need you and these Holy Tree Knights to follow me by my side."

"Understood!" Even if Eren wanted to personally rush down to continue fighting.

At this time, Shen Mu spoke.

Then he could only choose to obey.

Although Eren liked to fight, it didn't mean that Eren was a reckless man.

At this time, he took the opportunity to rest a little, adjust his breathing, and try to recover his strength.

Then use more abundant physical strength to continue to engage in battle.

"It's a pity that this environment is not suitable for Vaegir archers to use bows and arrows for long-range shooting."

At this time, Shen Mu's face also showed some regret.

Looking at the 300 Vaegir archers behind him who had not suffered any losses at all, only his two-handed axes were stained with blood, the regret in his eyes was even greater.

If they were outside, then the skilled and superb archery displayed by these Vaegir archers.

Would definitely allow these parasitic monsters to be shot and killed on the spot from a hundred meters away.

They wouldn't even have the qualification to engage in close combat!

Of course, now is not the time to regret this.

These Vaegir archers, wearing leather vests inlaid with leather armor pieces, can also bring fatal attack power with their two-handed axes.

What's more, in front of these Vaegir archers, there are also these Holy Tree cavalry as the first line of defense to block the fiercest attacks for them.

The Vaegir archers, who only need to focus on attacking, can also exert a huge effect.

There are no useless arms.

Only how to match arms for combat.

Whether it is a wooden club or a two-handed axe, as long as it is used well and matched well, it can still cause huge damage to the enemy!

Just like now.

"Let's go." Shen Mu turned to look at the Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers behind him who had already rested briefly and recovered some physical strength, so he turned to Eren and nodded: "You continue to lead the team."

"Understood."

Without any hesitation, Eren grabbed his knightly sword, turned to the Holy Tree Knights and Holy Tree cavalry, and said loudly: "Follow me!"

Immediately, he led the dismounted cavalry troops and quickly walked down the sloping ladder.

The speed was very fast.

It can be said that in a very short period of time, they rushed down the sloping ladder and entered the -1 floor.

Because Eren and the dismounted cavalry were so fast, even the simple torches in their hands were whistling, making rapid sounds, and the surrounding firelight was flickering.

It further illuminated the somewhat terrifying atmosphere of the subway mall's B1 level.

It's just that this terrifying atmosphere, whether it was brought about by the demons inside and their parasitic monsters, or by these Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers,

That's hard to say!

At least for these Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers, being able to enter a state of combat again and hone their fighting skills,

Has already made them eager, restless, and itching to try!

“Search the surroundings!” Eren's voice echoed loudly on the B1 level: “If you find anything, attack on your own without reporting!”

“Understood!” The members of the Holy Tree Knights responded one after another.

It's just that as their voices appeared, they didn't find any trace of the enemy.

Everything is quiet now.

After Shen Mu led the Vaegir archers down, they all found that nothing special had happened.

This is just an ordinary subway station.

When these 400-odd people arrived here,

The entire subway station seemed extremely crowded.

Although the entire station's capacity can accommodate 1,000 people at the same time during peak hours,

This is, after all, a subway station that has not yet been completed.

There is enough space inside.

However, a large amount of building materials are still piled up inside.

Whether it's sandbags or bricks, or bags of ceramic tiles,

They are all piled up in the subway station.

At the same time, various construction wastes are scattered in the subway tunnels where the subway tracks should have been laid.

And…

A ghastly white skeleton!

“Hmm?” Shen Mu frowned slightly as he looked towards the subway tunnels on both sides from the edge of the subway station.

Based on the direction from which they came down from above, the west side leads to Balihe Street and Longcheng City.

As for the tunnel leading to the east, that should be the direction to Angang Street.

Just looking at the bottom of this tunnel, covered with skeletons,

Shen Mu's frown deepened into a furrow.

“My lord, these bones all seem to be decayed.”

Eren walked over with a torch at this time, his face solemn: “It's a bit similar to the kind of bones I saw outside the walls of Dhirim… the bones of the Skeleton Legion!”

“…” Shen Mu narrowed his eyes at this.

This is also the reason why he frowned.

Because even Shen Mu had already discovered that these seemingly decayed bones,

From appearance to shape,

Were actually the same as those he had encountered before, those skeletons that were larger than ordinary skeleton soldiers or skeletons, with a bit of metallic luster.

Although they have become as decayed and gray as normal bones due to the loss of the nourishment of the soul fire,

The faint metallic luster that can still be detected,

Still shows that this is definitely what the skeletons of the Skeleton Legion used to look like.

Of course, the appearance of the Skeleton Legion here is not so surprising to Shen Mu.

After all, this place was also filled with the darkness of the necromantic rules and the gray mist, where the sun could not shine in.

So it is normal for the Skeleton Legion to be here.

But it is precisely because of this reason.

“Now that the Skeleton Legion has not appeared, but this place is empty, that's not normal.”

Shen Mu slowly raised his head at this time, reached out and took the torch from a Holy Tree Knight beside him, and personally shone it around, this empty subway station.

It still looks like there is nothing.

Except for the occasional faint roars echoing from the subway tunnels on both sides of the station, leading to the west and east respectively.

There was no other sound, and the undead monsters, which should have been swaying in large numbers, did not appear in front of them.

So this is what Shen Mu thought was abnormal.

At this time, the Holy Tree Knights and Holy Tree Cavalry around, including Eren, had also noticed this abnormality.

Originally, they were somewhat complacent because they had come from the first floor to the location of this B1 platform.

And occupied this subway platform,

Which is equivalent to occupying a part of the enemy's position.

But now that they think about this abnormal thing, one by one, their faces have become solemn, and they have all clenched the weapons in their hands, and the surrounding environment has once again formed a defensive formation.

And they also faintly protected Shen Mu in the very center of these people.

They have all experienced the night and know that some terrifying undead monsters will descend in the darkness and gray mist-filled areas.

So it looks like the terrifying visual impact is relatively strong, but the real combat effectiveness is very average.

Even the most ordinary farmers can handle it with a pitchfork or hoe.

But at this time, it is not a question of combat effectiveness or not.

But in this subway filled with darkness and gray mist, where sunlight cannot shine in, the light that belongs to the Blue Star rules and the Spirit Realm rules, which can dispel the necromantic rules, cannot reach.

Undead monsters did not appear!

That's very puzzling and makes people secretly vigilant.

This represents abnormality, which represents some kind of anomaly.

Some kind of danger!

“Lord Shen Mu, Lord Eren.”

At this time, the ten Holy Tree Knights beside Shen Mu nodded to each other and looked towards the subway tunnel leading to the east.

Then the Holy Tree Knight Captain said: “If I am not mistaken, the direction in which those parasitic monsters that were defeated by us on the 1st floor escaped should be the east tunnel, if we want to pursue, then we obviously need to go to the east.”

This Holy Tree Knight Captain reached out and pointed to the two tunnels in the east.

His tone was also a bit solemn as he said: “Moreover, Lord Shen Mu, I don’t know if you have noticed, but in the darkness of the east, there is also a dark red blood mist in the gray mist!”

“Dark red blood mist?” Shen Mu also turned his head and looked over at this time, his brow furrowed tightly.

As his gaze condensed,

And those Holy Tree Knights beside him gave a look to a Holy Tree Cavalry behind them, and immediately a Holy Tree Cavalry held up a torch and leaned over.

Immediately, he saw that in the gray mist that permeated the darkness, there were indeed some dark red wisps of mist flowing.

“It really is a dark red blood mist.” Shen Mu's face was also a bit solemn at this time.

This was something he had never encountered before.

“Could it be because these dark red blood mists are filling these gray mists and the darkness that there are no undead monsters appearing?”

At this time, Shen Mu suddenly thought of this idea for no reason.

But he shook his head and didn't think about it carefully.

Now for Shen Mu, what he cares more about is completing his temporary mission as soon as possible.

After all, this temporary mission is a pre-mission for a subsequent mission.

Only after completing this mission can the subsequent mission be opened.

Looking at the hints of the Mount \u0026 Blade system, it seems that this temporary mission has more generous rewards, otherwise it would not be possible to directly have a pre-mission first.

So it is impossible for Shen Mu to give up.

Moreover, with the confidence of these Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers around him, and the magic-level skills he has mastered,

Shen Mu has ample confidence.

“Then let's move forward.” Shen Mu said, and waved to Eren to continue leading these dismounted cavalry forward.

This made Eren's face light up with joy.

This shows that Shen Mu, this legendary figure, still trusts him extremely.

So Eren did not hesitate at all, directly drew his knight's sword, looked at the 5 Holy Tree Knights beside him, and the 50 Holy Tree Cavalry under his command, and said loudly: “Follow me!”

Then he took the lead and jumped off the platform and came to the subway tunnel full of skeletons.

Walking forward in large strides.

The chainmail boots on his feet made a 'crackling' cracking sound as he stepped on these brittle skeletons.

Plus the Holy Tree Knights and Holy Tree Cavalry behind him, who were also wearing chainmail boots, stepped on these decayed skeletons together.

Some special and strange sounds rippled in the entire narrow tunnel space.

Adding some special sense of weirdness to people's hearts.

"Swadian Archers, you are in the middle." Shen Mu looked at those Swadian archers who were still holding hand axes, and waved them forward.

Following behind Aileun and those dismounted cavalry units.

Becoming the second echelon of soldiers.

Finally, Shen Mu led the five Holy Tree Knights and the last fifty Holy Tree Cavalry, using them as the rearguard third echelon.

Together, they came to the inside of the east side tunnel.

Striding forward.

Also, the countless skeletons that filled the bottom of this tunnel were trampled into piles of bone fragments.

Everyone was striding forward.

Especially Aileun, who was really like chasing after something, not caring about the enemies that might be encountered in the darkness ahead.

Or rather, he simply hoped to encounter enemies in the darkness ahead.

Looking at this subway tunnel, which was about 30 meters wide and 4 meters high.

Aileun walked in the middle of the approximately 10-meter-wide passage used for maintenance.

On the left and right sides, there were subway passages of about 10 meters each, used for one-way traffic.

However, no subway tracks were laid.

Therefore, walking was quite fast because the road surface had been hardened with cement in advance, making it smooth.

And they hadn't encountered any enemies all along.

"What a pity." Shen Mu was also walking in this subway tunnel at this time.

Looking at the hardened road surfaces on the left and right sides, as long as the subway tracks were laid, the subway line could be put into operation in a short time.

If this world were given about 6 more months, perhaps this Sujiacun subway station could also be put into use.

Making the entire Sujiacun and Balihe Street more prosperous.

But at this time, Shen Mu was personally holding a torch in his hand.

As the firelight flickered on and off.

In this dim subway tunnel, only the sound of footsteps and the cracking sound of bones being crushed could be heard.

On the contrary, it made everyone present feel a little more uneasy.

The former glory was no more.

The Blue Star's technological civilization had been washed away by the undead rules and was worthless.

Even the Blue Star rules were forced to merge with the remaining rules of the Spirit Realm.

Only then could they resist the undead rules.

This made Shen Mu, whose predecessor had lived here for nearly 20 years, and the memories left by the parallel world self, feel even more solemn and唏嘘.

"Wait a minute." Just then, Shen Mu also found that his mood suddenly became a little low.

Gently frowning.

He looked at some of the blood-colored mists that gradually appeared in the gray mist, spreading.

And following the light released by the simple torches in the hands of these people as they walked and swayed, it quietly penetrated into the dark places of these people's ranks.

Making all the Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers present at this time obviously purse their lips, and their emotions gradually became lost due to the dark environment.

All of them were without words.

Only the gradually numb eyes remained.

It was as if the emotions of low morale were produced because of feeling disappointed about what was next.

"This is a little strange." Shen Mu frowned at this time.

Subconsciously reaching out and holding his Horn of Courage.

At his lower back, that small horn that could boost morale and increase courage, a strange object from the Mount \u0026 Blade system that granted partial rule abilities, was still hanging there with a rope.

Therefore, Shen Mu didn't care about these emotions of low morale.

What's more, these Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers still had absolute loyalty to him.

As long as Shen Mu gave an order, coupled with the special ability of this Horn of Courage, he could instantly boost the combat emotions of these Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers again, making them excited again.

Allowing morale to recover quickly.

After all, compared to normal Spirit Realm creatures, these Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers possessed by Shen Mu still had some special game rules in essence.

Instead, when facing the influence of mental or emotional aspects, they would appear to be much more resilient than normal creatures.

And when getting rid of these mental and emotional influences, it would also be easier.

They had only walked for about 10 minutes or so.

To the extent that Shen Mu even suspected that he had already crossed the Xiao Long River and arrived in the area of Angang Street.

After all, Sujiacun's northeast corner was not far away, less than two miles away, from the Xiao Long River.

Now he had walked in a northeast arc for 10 minutes.

He had definitely crossed the Xiao Long River and arrived in the area of Angang Street.

"Could it be that those devils have arranged their lair in the area of Angang Street?"

Shen Mu's face was a little strange at this time, looking at the newly lit simple torches.

It was fortunate that he had asked Aileun to prepare many simple torches before, and now the light of these torches was still enough.

Otherwise, losing the firelight that could dispel the darkness and gray fog in such a dark place would be a bit dangerous.

In addition, the soldiers he had brought around him were obviously more silent and looked even more depressed.

Shen Mu frowned tightly.

He was a little annoyed with the so-called devil's lair that the Mount \u0026 Blade system mentioned.

He knew that the Mount \u0026 Blade system had definitely discovered the devil's lair after scanning at the rule level.

That was why it was able to form a temporary mission to warn him in advance.

However, as he continued to move forward, he still hadn't found the specific location of the lair, which made him, who was already feeling a little low and emotionally suppressed, even more irritable in his heart.

However, Shen Mu looked at the increasing amount of blood-colored mist around him.

He understood in his heart.

"It seems that I should be getting closer and closer to the devil's lair."

This dark red mist should represent the power belonging to the devils of the Nine Hells.

After all, being able to cause other people's emotions to become more and more depressed and disappointed.

Was itself one of the abilities of devils who were good at bewitching people's hearts.

Suddenly, Shen Mu also remembered the abyss demons in the bottomless abyss, who also emitted a blood-colored mist when they appeared.

It was just that the blood-colored mist of the abyss demons was more vivid.

And the blood-colored mist of the hell devils was more dim.

The blood-colored mist of the abyss demons brought about an emotional change that was a kind of violent restlessness and hysteria, making people more angry.

It was two completely different concepts from this emotion of becoming more and more depressed, more and more lost, and more and more suppressed.

"No wonder the abyss demons and the hell devils are absolute enemies."

Shen Mu thought of some things that Elder Perro had told him before.

He couldn't help but smile wryly:

"How did that sentence go? When a person encounters both an abyss demon and a hell devil at the same time, then they can pretend to be nonchalant and walk away, because the demon in the abyss and the devil in hell will definitely solve the other party as their first goal, if they don't kill the other party, then they will definitely not let it go."

Suddenly thinking of this joke made Shen Mu's mood gradually become more pleasant.

After walking for about another 10 minutes.

"Everyone! Pay attention to alert! Immediately move forward and set up a defensive formation!"

Aileun's voice suddenly rang out in front.

At the same time, there were also those responses.

Including those Vegia archers in the second echelon, who were all moving forward quickly at this time, obviously noticing some changes ahead and quickening their pace.

At this time, a Holy Tree Knight in front also ran over quickly to report:

"Lord Shen Mu, we have discovered a huge space ahead, it seems to be a parking lot!"

"Parking lot! ?"

Shen Mu was slightly stunned at this time, seemed to have thought of something, and immediately said to the dismounted cavalry units of the third echelon around him in a deep voice: "Speed up, let's go over!"
