A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

The power of faith is even more important to those spirit realm lords!

After all, these Blue Star humans who have obtained the inheritance of the spirit realm lords need to use the spiritual energy generated by their own compatriots, that is, the power of faith, to summon those scattered spirit realm scenes, planes, buildings, or spirit realm creatures in the astral world to descend!

Compared to Shen Mu, who only needs to pay denars to obtain various buildings, soldiers, and civilian units.

The power of faith is really everything for those spirit realm lords to maintain their existence.

"However, if I want to become stronger, it seems that I also need to accumulate a lot of faith power."

Shen Mu shook his head at this time.

Accelerating the progress of building construction is equivalent to him being able to use the power of faith to complete the construction of his towns or castles in a short period of time.

Granting the skills he possesses to those Mount \u0026 Blade generals who follow him is equivalent to being able to use the power of faith to make his Mount \u0026 Blade generals stronger, and to qualitatively improve their strength and combat effectiveness.

This is also indirectly equivalent to Shen Mu's strength being rapidly increased.

As for what the other spirit realm lords should do in the situation where he also starts to enter the special resource of faith power, that is not within Shen Mu's scope of consideration.

Anyway, in the end, they are definitely competitors. No matter what, Shen Mu will definitely consider whether his own strength can be enhanced as the primary factor.

"Use the Codex to bestow the skill Group Power Strike to Aerie!"

At this time, Shen Mu also made his own decision through thinking.

'Buzz!'

A special force instantly emerged from the center of Shen Mu's eyebrows.

That is the power belonging to the Mount \u0026 Blade rules.

Moreover, in front of Shen Mu, a new dialog box has also appeared.

[Ding! You spent 10,000 faith points to use your level 2 "Codex Bestowal (Special Spiritual Skill)" skill, the effect is activated!]

[The target has been determined as "Aerie"!]

[Skill selected "Group Power Strike"!]

[After testing, the matching degree between Aerie and Group Power Strike is 92%, Codex Bestowal begins!]

[Your general "Aerie" has learned the skill "Group Power Strike"! And according to your level 2 Codex Bestowal, you can release this skill 2 times a day.]

[Hint: Your remaining faith points are 37466 points.]

'Buzz!'

However, as the dialog box appeared on Shen Mu's retina.

The power from the Mount \u0026 Blade rules flew out from the center of Shen Mu's eyebrows in an instant, crossed a distance of hundreds of meters, and landed right on the center of Aerie's eyebrows, who was still at the forefront holding a knight's sword and slashing parasitic monsters, like a beautiful arc.

Making Aerie, who was originally chasing and killing those low-level devils and parasitic monsters with overwhelming force, subconsciously stunned in place.

"This this this... this power is...!?" A mysterious symbol appeared in Aerie's mind.

Especially as the white light that had entered his eyebrows began to completely integrate into his head, he also understood how to release the Group Power Strike skill.

He also knew where the source of this power came from, and who it came from.

"Lord Shen Mu bestowed upon me... miraculous power!"

Aerie suddenly turned his head and looked at Shen Mu, who was also looking at him, with shocked and fanatical eyes.

A wave of absolute worship and reverence appeared in Aerie's chest, making him tremble with excitement, as if he had received the most proud affirmation and recognition in his life.

It almost made Aerie's emotions explode.

"Yes."

Shen Mu looked at Aerie's shocked and fanatical gaze as he turned his head to look at him, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and then nodded to him gently.

He reached out and motioned for him to continue fighting.

Watching Aerie turn his head and put the knight's sword back into the scabbard, instead raising the two-handed battle axe from his back, roaring loudly, and rushing towards those low-level devils and parasitic monsters again in a brave manner.

The smile on the corner of his mouth became even brighter.

He understood that this was Aerie's surging mood because he had obtained his approval and bestowed the skill upon him.

People always need recognition.

And being bestowed with this special spellcasting ability that can be called a miracle, this recognition will of course make Aerie, who has just obtained the skill, so fanatical.

"Group Power Strike!"

And when Aerie raised the two-handed battle axe in his hand and faced a low-level devil who was moving slowly due to a leg injury, he directly used the skill bestowed upon him by Shen Mu.

As a white stream of data emerged from the center of his eyebrows and wrapped around the axe head of his two-handed battle axe.

It was as if an enchantment had been completed on the axe blade.

'Poof!'

Then, Aerie's two-handed battle axe, which he slashed down fiercely.

The low-level devil who had no time to escape here was directly cut into the chest cavity from the right shoulder with the two-handed battle axe.

The terrifying power and sharp axe blade that had been enchanted were like a hot knife cutting butter, cutting off the spine and the ribs, and diagonally cutting this low-level devil in half from below the left rib cage on the spot!

'哗啦啦!'

The腥臭 blood and internal organs suddenly scattered all over the ground like pouring rain, as the corpse of this low-level devil fell down.

Even after a minute or two, this low-level devil was still in the huge pain of being cut in half, and finally closed his eyes.

"This power... is really powerful!" Aerie straightened his waist at this time, looked down at the two-handed axe in his hand, and his whole body was trembling with excitement, and his mind was full of excitement.

And beside Aerie, the 10 Holy Tree Knights and 9 Holy Tree Cavalry closest to him also received the same enchantment enhancement effect as the Group Power Strike.

As they slashed down or thrust their knight's swords or cavalry swords, they also slashed the low-level devils and parasitic monsters in front of them on the spot.

They were also cut in half like the low-level devils and parasitic monsters in a very smooth and fluid manner.

Leaving only the corpses broken into two pieces.

Representing the powerful effect of Group Power Strike, one of the two times per day that Aerie just used.

"It's perfect." Shen Mu nodded in satisfaction at this time.

After Aerie used the Group Power Strike skill, he had been staring at the effects produced behind him.

Seeing this devastating force, he directly cut the unarmored or lightly armored enemies in half on the spot.

Such an easy appearance.

It really made Shen Mu quite surprised.

Of course, there was also a dialog box in front of Shen Mu's retina.

[Ding! Your general "Aerie" used "Group Power Strike" beside you! The effect is activated! And you consumed [100 faith points].]

[Your remaining faith points are: 37366 points.]

This is a consumption log of faith points given to him by the Mount \u0026 Blade system.

It can be said that he can clearly know how much of these faith points he owns have been spent, where they were spent, how they were spent, and how much is left.

Simple and clear, and convenient for maintaining the balance of income and expenditure of faith points in the future.

Of course, the specifics are similar to the income and expenditure details of denars.

They are all the same principle.

At least now Shen Mu glanced at the income and expenditure details of the faith points that appeared in front of him, and he already understood in his heart.

Next, he must seriously study and operate on these two aspects of denars and the power of faith to prevent himself from appearing in deficit or not making ends meet.

"Next, after I complete this temporary task, I will be able to obtain a new 10,000 denars."

Shen Mu raised his hand again at this time and released his recovery skill, the level 7 group healing technique of the natural system.

As emerald green light spots and white streams of data reappeared on the heads of the Holy Tree Knights members and the Vaegir archers in front.

A cool feeling permeated the bodies of these Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers.

Then there was a new vitality that healed and restored all their physical strength, spirit, and injuries.

Making these Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers, who themselves had not lost much physical strength and had not suffered many injuries, become more and more excited.

Raising their weapons high, the speed of chasing forward was even faster.

The parasitic monsters and low-level devils lost too much physical strength due to the previous battle, and the speed of escape gradually slowed down, and then they were caught up by these Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers, and knocked them down in front of them one by one.

A new massacre begins again!

It's just that this time, those low-level devils, because of their lack of physical strength, were unable to run faster, and were completely solved on the spot by these Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers who caught up.

Even if some low-level devils or parasitic monsters ran relatively fast and were quite far away.

However, facing those Vaegir archers who possessed nomadic bows and bodkin arrows, and whose archery skills were extremely proficient.

These archers simply put down the two-handed axes in their hands again, then took out their nomadic bows and bodkin arrows, and shot them at those fleeing figures one by one.

Across a distance of only tens of meters, they deeply shot and killed these low-level devils and parasitic monsters on the spot.

Turning this huge underground space, which should have been a subway parking lot and transfer station, into a slaughterhouse for devils!

"Don't let any devils escape," Shen Mu issued an order at this time: "Exterminate them completely!"

"Understood!" Aileon's voice came from the front.

Including the excited responses from the Holy Tree Knights and Holy Tree Cavalry, as well as the captains of the Vaegir archers.

Just exterminate them completely.

Facing such evil enemies, these Holy Tree Knights and Holy Tree Cavalry would never let those devils go.

And since Shen Mu had already said so, these Vaegir archers would naturally not say anything more, but instead quickly took a few steps forward, continuing to shoot the bodkin arrows from their quivers with the nomadic bows in their hands.

As one after another whistling sound rang out, more and more low-level demons were killed in place by these Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers.

Especially as they went deeper and deeper into this super-large subway parking lot, which could be said to be the only one in the entire Longcheng City.

The surrounding dark red light and dark red mist became more and more intense.

So much so that in the end, Shen Mu and the other soldiers no longer needed the simple torches they held in their hands.

Although the surroundings were all dark red, the lighting effect brought by this dark red light still allowed them to distinguish what was in the area hundreds of meters away.

"An altar."

Shen Mu squinted slightly at the place illuminated by the dark red light.

It was an altar at the end of the parking lot, more than two meters high and about 20 meters in diameter, flashing with mysterious runes and dark red light, and with a dark red crystal about the size of a football floating above it!

An altar of hell devils.

Just then, as a whistling sound appeared.

A Vaegir archer used the nomadic bow in his hand to shoot a bodkin arrow, killing the last low-level devil a dozen meters away.

Immediately, in front of Shen Mu, a new dialog box appeared.

【Ding! Congratulations, you and your troops have completed this temporary mission after a hard battle.】

【You have received a reward — 10,000 denars.】

【Ding! The prerequisite mission has been completed!】

【After system detection, a new follow-up mission begins — Erosion of Hell Rules!】

【Mission Name: Erosion of Hell Rules.】

【Mission Brief: Through the subway tunnel under Sujia Village, you have successfully found the lair of these devils. And slaughtered all the devils in it. But when you came to the deepest part of this lair, you found that the surrounding area was already filled with a strong hell rule. It is as if this underground space has been changed by the hell rule, becoming a new rule in addition to the Blue Star rule, the Spirit World rule, and even the Necromantic rule.】

【You are extremely confused about this, because before, you only knew about the Blue Star rule and the Spirit World rule, as well as the terrifying Necromantic rule. You know nothing about this so-called hell rule.】

【Mission Requirement: Stay for another 60 minutes to analyze the hell rule.】

【Mission Reward: 100,000 Faith Points; 10,000 Denars; Gold Treasure Chest × 5.】

【Hint: The analysis of this mission will be related to the use of transcendent power, and it can also supplement the transcendent power in the Mount \u0026 Blade world, which has a better beneficial effect.】

【Hint: According to the analysis results, the system recommends that you stay for another 60 minutes.】

【Warning: According to the results obtained by system scanning, if you stay here for 60 minutes, it will attract the attention of a powerful existence among the hell devils. Therefore, more hell devil troops will be sent to attack you during your stay.】

Then a dialog box appeared in front of Shen Mu.

Above were the new temporary missions after completing the prerequisite missions.

As well as dense tips and warnings.

Making Shen Mu, who had just arrived at the altar, slightly stunned: "Hell rules… My Mount \u0026 Blade system needs to stay here for 60 minutes and then analyze this rule?!"

Shen Mu looked at the words on the dialog box that said it would supplement the transcendent power in the Mount \u0026 Blade world and have a better beneficial effect.

His brow furrowed even more.

The system's statement completely confirmed one of his previous guesses.

The rules that exist in this Blue Star world today are not only the Blue Star rule, the Spirit World rule, and the Necromantic rule.

But in addition to the Mount \u0026 Blade rule he possesses, there are also other rules from the Spirit World!

The hell rule that now appears in the Mount \u0026 Blade system dialog box has clearly explained this situation, which is indeed exactly the same as he guessed.

These hell devils also have their own hell rules!

"If you think about it this way, then do the abyss demons in the bottomless abyss also have their abyss rules?"

At this time, some colors that although had not been confirmed but that he had already understood appeared in Shen Mu's eyes.

There must be abyss rules!

Hell devils and abyss demons are absolutely blood enemies.

With a little association, you can know that if hell devils already possess hell rules, then it is highly likely that abyss demons possess abyss rules.

And now thinking about it, the thing that appeared in the abyss crack at that time that resembled the eyes of a demon god.

At the same time, like now, it dispelled the darkness and gray mist, and the entire world was filled with a blood-colored light environment.

"Perhaps that is the abyss rule."

Shen Mu clenched his fists subconsciously at this time: "It's just that at that time, the Mount \u0026 Blade system and the Mount \u0026 Blade rule did not obtain more information through the analysis of the core of the Spirit World, so it was not prompted due to the lack of information."

And now giving him this so-called hell rule is equivalent to directly confirming it.

In addition to the Necromantic rule, there are other rules.

But if you want to know more information about the hell rule, then Shen Mu needs to stay here and wait for 60 minutes.

And during these 60 minutes, there will be a steady stream of enemies attacking him.

But just as Shen Mu was still thinking, a new dialog box appeared in front of him.

【Ding! Congratulations! You and your troops have won this fierce battle! Won this 'hearty victory'!】

【You have received 'Silver Treasure Chest' × 2.】

【Your soldiers can be upgraded!】

"Wait?" At this time, Shen Mu looked at the dialog box that appeared in front of him, and his face was slightly stunned.

This is the post-war settlement interface.

Generally speaking, this interface will only appear after the battle is over.

To assess the level of victory he gained in this battle.

What rewards were obtained.

And whether the soldiers can be upgraded.

"Does this mean the battle is over now?" Shen Mu frowned and subconsciously looked around.

The battle was indeed over.

Those low-level devils had already been chased and killed by his general Aileon, leading those Holy Tree Knights and Holy Tree Cavalry, in this huge underground parking lot.

Those parasitic monsters that seemed to be extremely numerous, at this time, as Shen Mu and his troops approached the devil altar, seemed to be suppressed by the devil's level, making these parasitic monsters dare not approach, and after being shot and killed a lot, they scattered and fled.

Then the battle was declared over again.

According to the Mount \u0026 Blade rule, Shen Mu can now indeed settle the post-war battle evaluation, obtain treasure chest rewards, and also upgrade the soldiers.

And this is precisely very critical.

"Open the soldier upgrade interface!"

Shen Mu wanted to see which of his soldiers could be upgraded in this battle.

After all, the soldiers brought this time were all elite species of the fourth and fifth ranks.

Of course, with the restrictions of the Mount \u0026 Blade rule, when the soldiers reach the fifth rank and upgrade further, they have reached the end of the road. Except for a small number of ace troops, such as the Nord Royal Guards who can be upgraded to the sixth rank.

Most of the others are at their limit when they reach the 5th rank. But Shen Mu doesn't care about the 5th rank or not.

He cares more about his 300 fourth-rank Vaegir archers and 100 fourth-rank Holy Tree Cavalry.

Whether they can continue to upgrade!

You must know that if they are to be upgraded, then they will be fifth-rank Vaegir Sharpshooters and fifth-rank Holy Tree Knights.

These two are the best in their respective troop trees.

So, in Shen Mu's slightly expectant mood, the dialog box appeared in front of him.

【Upgradeable Soldiers:】

【① Holy Tree Cavalry × 50, can be upgraded to 'Holy Tree Knights (500 Denars each)'】25000

【② Khergit Tribesmen × 10, can be upgraded to 'Steppe Bandits (40 Denars each)'】400

【Prompt: Due to the limitations of your 'Khergit Tribesmen' by the special recruitment building 'Steppe Bandit Hideout,' the upgrade has been locked to the bandit-type 'Steppe Bandits' and cannot be upgraded to the 'Khergit Khanate' type units.】

"… …" Then, Shen Mu looked at the dialog box that appeared in front of him, and his face couldn't help but twitch.

He had just completed that temporary mission and received a reward of 10,000 Denars.

Although the reward was generous.

Then it came, 50 Holy Tree Cavalry could be upgraded to Holy Tree Knights, and the upgrade cost for each person was still 500 Denars.

Adding up, it was exactly 25,000 Denars.

"Alright."

Looking at these two types of soldiers that could be upgraded, Shen Mu also said that he had nothing to say.

This was normal.

Those 50 Holy Tree Cavalry were the Holy Tree Cavalry who came with the 10 Holy Tree Knights in the beginning.

They were completely different from the 50 Holy Tree Cavalry who were added later during replenishment.

It could be said that Shen Mu had experienced countless battles, big and small, and these 50 Holy Tree Cavalry had always been through them, so it was only natural that they had reached the upgrade experience requirements.

"However, compared to Swadian Heavy Cavalry upgrading to Swadian Knights, which only requires 300 Denars per person, these Holy Tree Cavalry upgrading to Holy Tree Knights actually require 500 Denars per person. The cost is doubled, which is a bit painful."

Shen Mu sighed.

But his mind quickly communicated with his Mount \u0026 Blade system and responded: "Confirm upgrade."

These 50 Holy Tree Cavalry and the 10 Khergit Tribesmen were confirmed for upgrade together.

Then, a new dialog box appeared in front of Shen Mu.

【Ding! You spent 25,000 Denars to successfully upgrade 50 'Holy Tree Cavalry (Tier 4 Shock Cavalry)' to 'Holy Tree Knights (Tier 5 Shock Heavy Cavalry)'!】

【Ding! You spent 400 Denars to successfully upgrade 10 'Khergit Tribesmen (Tier 1 Light Horse Archers)' to 'Steppe Bandits (Tier 2 Light Horse Archers)'!】

'Buzz!'

Almost at the instant the dialog box appeared on Shen Mu's retina.

Strands of white data streams floated out from between Shen Mu's eyebrows.

Then, they directly wrapped around the 50 Holy Tree Cavalry in front, enveloping them entirely into what seemed like eggs formed by white data streams.

At the same time, a wave of pressure from the rules level began to descend.

It even caused a reaction from this huge underground parking lot, which was filled with dark red mist and dark red light.

A strong protest from the hell's rules.

Because in essence, even if the Mount \u0026 Blade rules are weak, they are still a force on the same level as the hell's rules.

When the Mount \u0026 Blade rules come to the territory of the hell's rules, of course, there will be a strong reaction.

'Buzz!'

At this time, in this huge subway parking lot, the dark red light produced by the hell's rules began to flicker, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

Even the ball-sized crystal on the hell altar, which was more than two meters high and more than 20 meters wide in front of Shen Mu, was flashing with dark red light, seemingly becoming extremely angry because the power of the Mount \u0026 Blade rules was manifesting in this area.

But even if the hell's rules are angry, for the Mount \u0026 Blade rules that have already emerged from between Shen Mu's eyebrows.

That's all.

Because these Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers are now undergoing a metamorphosis like silkworms transforming into butterflies under the action of the Mount \u0026 Blade rules.

In just over 10 seconds.

The white, egg-like data shells were completely absorbed by these 50 Holy Tree Cavalry who had reached the upgrade experience.

Then, when these white data streams gradually disappeared, what appeared beside Shen Mu at this time were no longer those Holy Tree Cavalry.

But the Holy Tree Knights who had completed the upgrade, received various experience infusions, and seemed to have returned to the world of Pendor in these ten seconds, and had been successfully promoted after more than ten years of battlefield training —

Holy Tree Knights!

The top knights of the fifth tier of the Holy Tree Knights!

At this time, these 50 Holy Tree Knights had all changed into bright silver, more refined and luxurious Holy Tree Knight suits, which also contained mithril from the Noldor elves, who were closely related to the Holy Tree Knights, hidden in the ancient forests of the continent of Pendor, this magical material made.

They looked more luxurious and stronger, both in terms of armor and physique, than the 50 Holy Tree Cavalry who had not been upgraded next to them.

They also looked about ten years older in age.

They looked even more trustworthy, able to believe that these Holy Tree Knights would bring a better sense of security.

"Greetings to you! Respected Lord Shen Mu!"

And when these 50 Holy Tree Knights had completely completed the upgrade, they looked at each other, and then turned around decisively, kneeling on one knee respectfully in the direction of Shen Mu, then placing their hands on their chests, bowing their heads and greeting him.

Their attitude was still extremely humble, humble, and respectful.

And their expressions were still fanatical.

"Yes." Shen Mu nodded at this time, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture for them to stand up: "Very good, all of you get up."

Following Shen Mu's order, the 50 Holy Tree Knights immediately stood up obediently again.

Then they stood silently aside, also led by the 10 Holy Tree Knights who came at the beginning, each looking around with vigilant eyes, ready to draw their Holy Tree Knight swords from their waists and join the battle at any time if there was any movement.

In Shen Mu's view, it might only be a dozen seconds of upgrade.

But for these Holy Tree Knights who had completed their promotion, they had gone through years of hard training and cultivation to successfully advance.

Their combat will and combat experience were top-notch.

"In that case, I can rest assured." Shen Mu also nodded lightly at this time.

After all, for him, these Holy Tree Knights, who possessed mithril, a special material that could cause extra damage to enemies of the evil camp, had increased by 50 in number, which was an effective improvement to the strength of his troops.

The current Shen Mu had a full 60 Holy Tree Knights.

His strength itself had been greatly improved!

Otherwise, the upgrade cost of 200 Denars for a Holy Tree Knight, which was twice as expensive as a normal Swadian Knight, would not have been spent in vain.

A large part of the cost was estimated to have been used on the mithril in this Holy Tree Knight suit.

This was also why Shen Mu was relieved.

Now his enemy was the hell devil of the evil camp.

Then he possessed Holy Tree Knights who could cause extra damage to the evil camp, whether it was abyss demons, hell devils, or undead monsters.

That meant his strength had been greatly improved.

"Since that's the case, then I'll start the subsequent missions next."

Shen Mu slowly raised his head, looking at the ball-sized dark red crystal that was floating on the hell altar in front of him.

Slightly squinting his eyes, his footsteps also moved forward.

At this time, within the dark red crystal, bursts of dark red light, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, were also being released.

'Buzz!'

At the same time, on this hell altar, the surrounding dark red mist began to condense, gradually forming a vague figure, about three meters high.

The overall outline was similar to that of a human, but it had huge bat wings and a slender tail on its back.

There were also two relatively short goat horns on his forehead.

Looking at it, you knew that this was a devil from hell, not those strangely shaped and extremely狰狞 abyss demons.

And it was also a hell devil of no low level.

"Blue Star human, your current behavior has angered me."

On the abyss platform, the devil figure composed of dark red mist slowly opened his mouth, causing the entire huge underground space to seem to be filled with some kind of sonic vibration.

Moreover, with each word he spoke, it was as if he was stimulating the souls and eardrums of everyone present.

Causing Shen Mu and these Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers to feel a strong discomfort!

'Clang!'

But at this time, the 60 Holy Tree Knights in front of Shen Mu directly drew their Holy Tree Knight swords.

They immediately came to Shen Mu's front, surrounding and protecting him in the middle, and looking at the devil figure composed of dark red mist in front of them with extremely angry eyes.

They understood very well that the discomfort they were currently experiencing was definitely caused by this devil.

"Now, Blue Star human, if you lead your human soldiers away, then I can overlook your offense to me."

And the devil figure composed of dark red mist was still slowly speaking, his tone quite angry: "Otherwise, I, a Greater Devil, Fifth Overseer, will definitely launch an endless vendetta against you, even if you are in the Blue Star world, I will send a continuous stream of devils to you, until your strength is destroyed, you, this human, are killed, and you are completely erased from the Blue Star world!"

These words were extremely vicious, and the voice released waves of sound along with his words, reverberating throughout this huge underground space.

Along with his speech, the mysterious hell symbols that had long been painted on the walls and load-bearing columns of this subway parking lot, which had long been occupied by the devil forces, lit up with dark red light as he spoke.

Making the entire subway parking lot seem to be swept by terrifying waves.

Waves of fear that directly washed over the soul and inner emotions.

"…"

However, Shen Mu looked at the devil phantom composed of dark red mist in front of him.

There wasn't much fear on his face.

Instead, he raised his head to face the Holy Tree Knight Sword in the hand of the devil phantom composed of dark red mist, which emitted a warm heat, making his heart even more strange.

Because he understood that the Holy Tree Knight Sword, or rather, the Holy Tree Knight Armor on his body, which had been mixed with mithril.

As long as it encounters a powerful evil enemy, it will become quite hot.

As hot as if it had been boiled in hot water.

But now there was only some warm heat, as if someone had turned on an electric warmer in summer.

Although you can clearly perceive the heat in it.

But it also makes people understand that the source of this heat is not so noteworthy.

It also represents that the source of this heat is the devil phantom composed of dark red mist, who claims to be some Greater Devil, Fifth Overseer, but is actually just a paper tiger.

Only saying serious things.

The real combat power is not good at all!

"Blue Star human, you are playing with fire now!" And the phantom of the Greater Devil composed of dark red mist, at this time, also realized that Shen Mu had no fear of him at all.

As a result, his voice became even more angry, and the surrounding dark red light flickered more frequently.

Of course, in Shen Mu's view, this also shows the essence of this Greater Devil's phantom as a paper tiger.

So Shen Mu didn't care about the phantom of this Greater Devil at all, but instead led the initial 10 Holy Tree Knights forward to the side of the Hell Altar.

With a flip, he jumped onto the Hell Altar.

Just as the phantom of the Greater Devil composed of dark red mist was extremely angry, baring its teeth and claws, wanting to stop Shen Mu but unable to do so.

Shen Mu had already come to the front of the dark red crystal and slowly stretched out his hand.

"So, if I want to start the mission, I need to put my hand on this crystal and let my Mount \u0026 Blade system start analyzing the rules inside this dark red crystal."

Shen Mu understood that his Mount \u0026 Blade system needed to analyze the hell rules inside this dark red crystal to be considered the real start of the mission.

So, in the extremely angry howling and gaze of the phantom of the God Devil composed of dark red mist.

He stretched out his hand and directly attached it to this dark red crystal.

'Buzz!'

The core imprint belonging to the hell devil was touched by Shen Mu's hand.

Then the hell devil rules contained in this dark red crystal suddenly rioted, seemingly wanting to escape because there was too little rule power appearing here.

But just then, a stream of white data flowed out from between Shen Mu's eyebrows, instantly wrapping the dark red crystal inside.

The power belonging to the Mount \u0026 Blade rules firmly surrounded these hell rules inside.

'Buzz!'

And it vibrated out a stream of extremely precise Mount \u0026 Blade rule power, and began to analyze these hell rules.

And a dialog box popped up on the retina in front of Shen Mu to prompt.

[Ding! The Mount \u0026 Blade system is starting to analyze the hell rules!]

[Countdown: 00 hours 60 minutes 00 seconds!]

[Hint: Please persist for 60 minutes before you can evacuate, and during this process, the enemy will attract a continuous stream of devil troops to attack you, please pay attention to defense.]

"So, is it about to start next?" Shen Mu turned his head to look at the extremely angry devil phantom next to him at this time.

"Blue Star human, you have successfully annoyed me, you have angered me, the Fifth Overseer from the Greater Devil!"

The devil phantom condensed from dark red mist really had no way to do any attacking behavior to Shen Mu, who was close at hand, or rather, it had completely exhausted all its power to condense this shadow and be able to speak.

Now, even if it is here loudly angry howling, it only provokes some helpless reaching out to dig out the ears, complaining that the sound is too loud.

This almost humiliating appearance made this Greater Devil extremely angry.

Then the dark red mist that condensed the whole body directly burst apart because of anger.

Only its voice remained echoing.

"Very good, very good, very good! I remember you, Blue Star human! I have deeply remembered your thought waves! As long as your thoughts grow into a soul, then I will come back again! Bringing my demon troops back again!"

In this huge underground space, the voice of this Greater Devil was still echoing loudly.

The ears of Shen Mu and these Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers were aching from the shock.

But just at this time.

Countless howls also appeared in the surrounding lingering dark red mist.

"Pay attention to vigilance, form a defensive formation!"

Airenn was the first to notice that the surrounding situation was not right, and immediately greeted the Holy Tree Knights and Holy Tree Cavalry to move closer to Shen Mu's side.

And also directed the 300 Vaegir archers: "Now I need you to immediately stand on this Hell Altar to form a shooting position."

"Understood!"

Whether it was the Holy Tree Knights or the Holy Tree Cavalry and the Vaegir archers, they all answered in unison at this time.

And in a short period of time, they were all re-queued according to Airenn's arrangement.

50 Holy Tree Cavalry and 60 Holy Tree Knights all leaned their backs against the two-meter-high Hell Altar.

100 Vaegir archers were completely standing on this altar.

Then another 200 Vaegir archers were mixed into the 110 members of the Holy Tree Knights, holding nomadic bows and preparing to shoot arrows at any time in a slightly rearward half-body position.

After all, the Hell Altar is only two meters high and 20 meters in diameter, and it is quite crowded to accommodate 100 Vaegir archers.

In order to prevent the formation from being too concentrated and causing the formation to deform due to enemy impact.

It is also wiser to incorporate 200 Vaegir archers into the combat sequence of these 110 dismounted cavalry.

After all, these archers from Vaegir can carry out accurate direct shooting, and can also use two-handed battle axes in close combat to carry out more fierce chopping on the enemy.

Even if there are enemies close to the front, they are not afraid at all!

And in this process, not only Airenn and these Holy Tree Knights and Holy Tree Cavalry and Vaegir archers, noticed the chaotic footsteps appearing in the surrounding dark red mist.

Even Shen Mu, who was protected in the middle, had already turned his head to look in the direction of the east.

"Here they come!" Shen Mu reminded in a deep voice.

Then he discovered that in the area where there seemed to be a passage in the east, large swaths of chaotic footsteps were quickly approaching here.

After getting closer, looking at it with the help of the dark red light.

It was actually an even greater number of parasitic monsters!
