A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

Then, a full 60 of those Spirit Realm Killer Bees, each the size of a child or dwarf about 1.3 meters tall, vibrated their wings and swarmed towards those Hell Devils.

Suddenly, like paratroopers descending from the sky, they instantly attacked those Hell Devils who hadn't noticed that enemies would attack from the sky, catching them completely off guard!

“Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz!”

Then, with the violent sound of flapping wings, these Spirit Realm Killer Bees wreaked havoc among the Hell Devils, fiercely stabbing their stingers into their bodies.

Those stinger, like short swords, caused those Hell Devils who were stabbed to suffer immediate deaths and injuries!

What's more, the Kujit Steppe Raiders around them were still drawing their bows and firing arrows at those Hell Devils.

This caused the Hell Devils to fall in droves.

Quickly reaping the lives of those Hell Devils in their originally neatly arranged hundred-man dense formation.

After all, those Spirit Realm Killer Bees had already begun to wreak havoc in the middle of the Hell Devils.

The Hell Devils on the periphery had no way to provide support.

It was like a tactic of blooming from the center.

When the center had already bloomed, then the petals on the edge wanted to return to support, but under the threat of these Kujit Steppe Raiders, they could only become restrained.

It was impossible to return to support!

It was impossible to let these Hell Devils casually return to support.

Especially Shen Mu, standing at a high place, coldly watched those Hell Devils still resisting desperately, wanting to return to the Su Family Village station and protect those Intermediate Devils from suffering too much damage.

Although his Spirit Realm Killer Bees were wreaking havoc, they were also being chopped down one by one by the devils' scimitars in the process of attacking those Intermediate Devils.

After killing forty or fifty Hell Devils at the moment of contact, the 60 Killer Bees then fell into a disadvantage because they were caught in close combat.

They began to be killed by those Hell Devils.

In just a short moment, more than a dozen Killer Bees had died.

And as Shen Mu looked over, another four or five Killer Bees were found an opportunity by those Hell Devils, who used their scimitars to hack them to death on the spot.

It was a rather miserable sight.

And it quickly made people understand that these 60 Spirit Realm Killer Bees could not produce too much killing effect among these Hell Devils.

In terms of close combat, these 60 Spirit Realm Killer Bees only relied on the aerial surprise attack advantage of having wings.

It was impossible to confront those Hell Devils head-on.

“As expected, relying on these Spirit Realm Killer Bees will not have much effect on the battle situation.”

Shen Mu, standing at a high place at this time, also understood.

He pondered slightly.

He directly reached out his hand and once again used his thoughts to communicate with the system: “Bee Swarm Harassment!” And once again released this summoning skill.

‘Buzz!’

Once again, white light flashed from his brow, as streams of data poured out.

A cool feeling gushing out from Shen Mu's chest was wrapped by these white streams of data, directly drawing an arc and once again arriving above those Hell Devils.

‘Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz!’

As one after another giant Spirit Realm Killer Bee reappeared above.

This natural-type Bee Swarm Harassment, a level 4 summoning skill, was released again.

And those giant Spirit Realm Killer Bees directly joined the more than 30 remaining Killer Bee clansmen, raising their stingers, which were like short swords, and fiercely stabbing them over.

It really set off another storm of blood!

Shen Mu could release the level 4 Bee Swarm Harassment skill 6 times a day, summoning 60 giant Killer Bees each time.

It could be said to be a rather practical harassment skill.

Now Shen Mu had already discovered that the giant Killer Bees summoned by this Bee Swarm Harassment could be defined as second-tier Mount \u0026 Blade soldier level in terms of real combat power.

Belonging to the type with high attack and low defense.

There was not much defense.

Almost no different from ordinary peasants.

In fact, the combat power was not much different from ordinary peasants, and even the attack damage caused by the raised stinger, which was like a short sword, was similar to that of first-tier recruits holding long-handled scythes.

The reason why these Spirit Realm Killer Bees could be defined as this level of second-tier Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers was actually because they were flying units.

They could completely create different effects in terms of surprise attacks and harassing the enemy.

After all, flying over the enemy's head and attacking while the enemy was still engaged in fierce fighting was indeed more unexpected than rushing over on two legs or riding a horse.

Just like when Shen Mu summoned these giant Spirit Realm Killer Bees again now.

Those caught-off-guard Hell Devils suddenly had some despair in their eyes.

“Damn it, damn it! I didn't expect him to be a spellcaster!”

“After the transcendent power recovers, I will eat the souls of these humans alive!”

“That Blue Star human, I will definitely torture his soul by then!”

“That Blue Star human must have a connection with the Abyss Demons, these Spirit Realm Killer Bees he summoned definitely have the bloodline of Abyss Demons!”

“Kill him, kill him, kill him!”

Even those Intermediate Devils began to let out angry roars.

It wasn't that they didn't want to resist, nor that they couldn't kill these giant Killer Bees.

It was entirely because while they were still paying attention to these Spirit Realm Killer Bees that would occasionally fall from above to stab them, those human cavalrymen not far away were still attacking them with bows and arrows.

And these Hell Devils had also discovered that more human cavalry, and moreover human heavy cavalry wearing full armor, were lined up in the distance, eyeing them covetously.

Looking like they wanted to rush over at any time and completely crush them.

Under such an urgent situation, how could these Hell Devils carry out effective defense and resistance?

The situation directly became very difficult.

And in this situation, these Hell Devils also discovered some of the blood of the Abyss Demons flowing in the bloodline of the Spirit Realm Killer Bees.

After all, these Hell Devils used scimitars to kill quite a few of those Spirit Realm Killer Bees.

In the blood of the Spirit Realm Killer Bees that flowed out, that blood with a hint of strong fishy smell did indeed have a hint of blackish-red.

And for these blackish-red blood and the special fishy stench that permeated it, these Hell Devils were of course quite clear about which race it came from.

After all, they had been fighting with the Abyss Demons in the Blood War for tens of thousands of years without determining a winner, and were still strangling each other's lives and souls.

They were already quite familiar with the Abyss Demons, just like the Abyss Demons were also quite familiar with these Hell Devils.

At this time, seeing the aura of the Abyss Demons appearing in the blood of these Spirit Realm Killer Bees, they already had some guesses and thoughts in their minds.

Was this a trap deliberately set by those Abyss Demons?

“We must go back and report this matter to Lord Fifth Overseer!”

Those Intermediate Devils howled one after another.

Now they had indeed discovered a rather big secret, at least if they analyzed and thought about it this way in their minds, it was a huge secret.

After all, before, in this area that was destined to turn into a desert, there was a fragment of a divine artifact from the Gnoll Lord Yeenoghu hidden.

And it was said that the Gnoll Lord Yeenoghu had also once lived in the Abyss, belonging to a demon god with the blessing of the Abyss and a true divine spark.

And it also hid the secrets of the gods' disappearance.

Even hiding the secrets of the divine fire and divine power and the divine spark, the authority exclusive to the gods.

For these Hell Devils, if they could grasp this secret, then they could obtain a continuous stream of souls.

After all, the Gnoll Lord was a racial god.

If they could grasp his secrets and authority, then they could turn any dead gnoll into countless souls and enter Hell, becoming their food.

Moreover, being able to obtain the augmentation of a god would also be of great help to the leaders of these Hell Devils.

After all, the Hell Overlords were equivalent to the existence of the Abyss Lords.

And they all had virtual divine sparks.

In essence, they were equal to those gods who had already ignited the divine fire, condensed the divine spark, and could arbitrarily wield their divine power in the mortal world.

And if the high-ranking devils among them grasped this power related to the gods.

It was not impossible to be promoted to a Hell Overlord.

Therefore, that Fifth Overseer to whom these Intermediate Devils belonged, that high-ranking devil, was quite covetous of this secret of the Gnoll Lord Yeenoghu.

Therefore, these Intermediate Devils had to return to that subway tunnel and report all these matters clearly and completely to their Fifth Overseer.

They absolutely had to make these things clear, it was absolutely not because their own abilities were not good, but they were defeated by that human troop.

It was entirely because that human lord had actually set a trap for them.

And also introduced the power of the Abyss Demons.

Otherwise, how could they, these Hell Devils, be so easily defeated by that human lord, and even failed to break through the first city wall?

It was entirely because they had fallen into a trap!

Moreover, they were able to escape back thanks to their own heroic fighting and wise awareness of that bigger trap, so they retreated back to avoid the possibility of complete annihilation.

Not only could they not punish themselves, but they also had to praise these Intermediate Devils for keenly perceiving the trap.

Of course, the specific situation was how it was, these Intermediate Devils had already unified their rhetoric. After all, their rout back now was itself a kind of defeat.

In the production level of Hell Devils, their retreat and escape now was also equal to a behavior that seriously affected their promotion.

Therefore, they had to find a very suitable and perfect reason.

It was like this now.

“Hurry, we need to go back quickly! Block those Killer Bees!”

“Everyone gather here and pay attention to this side!”

“Right, right!”

"Those humanoids are launching arrows again! Watch out!"

The mid-tier devils were still loudly directing the low-tier devil formations, quickly filling in any gaps in their ranks.

They were directly sending the low-tier devils to their deaths to prevent the human archer cavalry and heavy cavalry from posing any threat to them.

However, even so, the arrows fired by the Khergit steppe bandits from afar using their nomadic bows continued to reduce the number of these hellish devils.

Adding to this, the spirit realm killer bees continued to wreak havoc within the ranks of these hellish devils.

To the extent that the retreat speed of these hellish devils was severely hampered.

They could barely move an inch.

And what Shen Mu wanted was precisely this effect, to severely harass these hellish devils, preventing them from retreating back to the Su Family Village station in time.

This would not only effectively and continuously deplete the living force of these hellish devils but also delay the time, making the devils increasingly anxious about the timing of their final all-out attack.

After all, once it approached daylight, these hellish devils, completely exposed to the rules of Blue Star and the spirit realm, would be instantly ejected and suffer irreversible damage.

Even leading to the death of these hellish devils.

Therefore, if Shen Mu could delay the time longer and longer, preventing the final all-out attack from happening, then these hellish devils would abandon this attack and retreat back into the subway tunnels.

At that time, Shen Mu would be able to safely spend another day.

And being able to safely spend a day, for Shen Mu, who possessed the Mount \u0026 Blade rules and system, would definitely be another opportunity for growth.

By then, if those hellish devils wanted to attack his New Rivacheg again, perhaps the situation would no longer be so simple.

A single day.

Enough for Shen Mu to accelerate the construction of taller city walls, taller arrow towers, and organize a more effective defense system.

And even upgrade to more powerful Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers!

Therefore,

Shen Mu just needed to delay the time.

Time was on Shen Mu's side.

'Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!'

Just then, the sharp whistling sound reappeared on the battlefield. The Khergit steppe bandits were also continuously drawing their bows and releasing arrows, projecting shadows of feathered arrows into the ranks of the hellish devils.

Taking the lives of one hellish devil after another.

But these hellish devils were still entangled by the spirit realm killer bees, unable to continue moving their formation as before, slowly and steadily transferring towards the subway tunnels.

Now, they were all trapped in place.

"No, we can't continue like this. We must drive away those human archer cavalry!"

These mid-tier devils also realized that something was wrong.

Now, these mid-tier devils had also begun to actively attack the spirit realm killer bees that had infiltrated their ranks, wielding curved swords.

Only in this way could they hack down those spirit realm killer bees that occasionally took flight and landed, using the short sword-like stingers on their tails to stab them to death on the spot.

Otherwise, relying solely on those low-tier devils, who were only using crude round shields on their left arms and curved swords in their right hands to counterattack the spirit realm killer bees, it would be difficult to effectively kill those giant spirit realm killer bees.

Because those giant spirit realm killer bees, although with the prefix 'giant', each of them utilized their flight ability and the vibration of their wings, making their figures extremely agile in the air.

If they didn't seize the moment when these killer bees actively attacked them, it would be difficult to injure these killer bees with a curved sword.

After all, once these killer bees all reached a height of two or three meters, these hellish devils, lacking ranged attack methods, would simply be unable to harm these killer bees.

This created an awkward situation where the killer bees could harm these hellish devils, but these hellish devils could not kill the killer bees.

Therefore, it was necessary for these more powerful, more cruel, and more skilled mid-tier devils to step forward.

Only in this way could they effectively hack those clumps of killer bees to death on the spot, causing them to fall continuously.

But even so, it was difficult for their formation to continue retreating towards the Su Family Village station.

Because the harassment ability of the surrounding human archer cavalry was simply too strong, especially with the addition of the spirit realm killer bees, making it impossible for them to carry out an effective retreat, and preventing their tight formation from moving quickly.

The hellish devils, who had never experienced this kind of cavalry tactics, were truly at a loss.

Therefore, upon realizing that their formation was constantly being depleted, and that the inferior devils under their command had been completely wiped out, and that the remaining low-tier devils were also on the verge of collapse, these mid-tier devils finally ordered the disbandment of the formation and began to attack the human archer cavalry.

They had completely run out of options and could only throw caution to the wind.

"Begin attacking the surroundings!"

Thus, these mid-tier devils issued orders one after another.

Then, the hundred-man formations of low-tier devils, which had originally formed tight ranks, immediately disbanded, and one by one, the low-tier devils howled and raised the curved swords in their hands, charging towards the Khergit steppe bandits, launching a desperate charge.

These low-tier devils also knew that such a charge was inherently a suicidal act, but there was no choice. The orders of the mid-tier devils had been issued, so they could only do so.

Then, they deliberately used this method of sacrificing their lives to provide the mid-tier devils with a chance to escape quickly.

At this time, the Khergit steppe bandits were indeed forced to turn their horses and leave because of these low-tier devils who, after disbanding their formations, charged towards them.

Although they were also holding nomadic bows and shooting arrows at these charging low-tier devils as they rode away.

Constantly shooting these low-tier devils to death on the spot.

But they did indeed create gaps in the low-tier devil formations by pulling away, leaving space and opportunity for the mid-tier devils to retreat.

"Go, go, go, let's retreat quickly!"

The mid-tier devils, one by one, looked at the low-tier devils going to their deaths with狰狞 cruel expressions, with no emotions in their eyes.

Only a piece of coldness and indifference.

For devils, lower-level devils were originally used to die for them.

Now that these lower-level devils had completed their mission, then these mid-tier devils needed to retreat quickly, otherwise, it would be a losing proposition.

Thus, these mid-tier devils quickly began to run, taking advantage of the fact that all the surrounding human archer cavalry were preoccupied and unable to approach them.

According to the calculations of these mid-tier devils, they only needed to run quickly for four or five minutes to reach the subway tunnel station.

Once they entered the subway station, they would be able to survive.

However, their idea was good.

For Shen Mu, who was still standing at a high place, overlooking the entire battlefield situation, he did not think they could escape.

Because he had already seen Eleren and Lesaleite on the south side of the city wall, leading the Holy Tree Knight Order members and the Swadian heavy cavalry, slowly approaching.

These heavy cavalry did not care about the actions of the low-tier devils, who, after scattering, used almost suicidal methods to drive away the Khergit steppe bandits.

They didn't even pay attention to these low-tier devils.

Instead, under the leadership of Eleren and Lesaleite, they began to focus their main attack targets on the backs of those mid-tier devils who were still running away, as if they were a pack of wolves.

And they began to run with the warhorses under their crotches.

The speed was getting faster and faster.

Then, in a very short period of time, they formed a wedge formation and a cavalry charge formation through the perfect tactical literacy of these Holy Tree Knight Order members and Swadian heavy cavalry.

The Swadian heavy cavalry formed a cavalry spear charge formation, directly forming two long lines and beginning to crush the backs of those mid-tier devils.

And the one leading these Swadian heavy cavalry was Lesaleite.

He was very good at commanding these Swadian heavy cavalry to form a cavalry wall with spears charging.

At this time, it was truly like a wall of steel, quickly approaching the backs of those mid-tier devils.

The lances held under the armpits of the Swadian heavy cavalry in their right hands were now gleaming with cold light, eager to taste the lives of these mid-tier devils. What kind of taste would that be!

And on the right side of these mid-tier devils, the Holy Tree Knight Order, who were still charging forward quickly, detoured in an arc and instead arrived at the direction of the Su Family Village subway station at an even faster speed.

And they began to line up again, forming a wedge formation.

With Eleren and the 60 Holy Tree Knights on both sides as sharp knife tips and blades, and the 50 Holy Tree cavalry behind as the handle.

In front of the scattered formations of those mid-tier devils, who had already become scattered due to rapid running, they also began to spur their horses into a charging state.

The silver-colored Holy Tree lances in the hands of these Holy Tree Knights and Holy Tree cavalry also began to flicker with the cold light of death.

They were also aimed at these mid-tier devils.

And behind them, as the black steel city wall got closer and closer to these mid-tier devils, the white steel city wall also seemed to squeeze towards them.

The Holy Tree Knight Order and the Swadian heavy cavalry formed a two-sided attack that could destroy everything!
