A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

While Shen Mu was pondering, Torres was diligently reporting on all the supplies he had brought.

The supplies were quite abundant.

"All the supplies in these 50 carriages are enough to feed 1,000 people for 7 days."

Torres then summarized, "Of course, Lord Shen Mu, this allocation of supplies was based on the number of people in Derheim when I left."

As he spoke, Torres's face showed a hint of embarrassment, "But I really didn't expect the speed of Derheim's development under your leadership, Lord Shen Mu, to be so fast, directly bringing the town to have a population of over 5,000, as well as twenty to thirty thousand Blue Star humans."

Regarding Derheim, Mannid had added a few words during the previous conversation as a reminder to him.

This book is first published on the entire network by 𝕥 𝕨 𝕜 𝕒 𝕟 . 𝕔 𝕠 𝕞

Therefore, Torres knew the current population size within Derheim.

Now he understood that the supplies filling the 50 carriages he brought back seemed like a considerable amount, but for the current population of Derheim, it really wasn't much.

"But it doesn't matter, Derheim isn't lacking in supplies right now," Mannid said with a smile, "Derheim now has a large amount of supplies transferred from the Diesel Company, so there's not much need to worry about food. It's enough for everyone to eat for 3 months without any problems."

And as he spoke, Mannid reported to Shen Mu again, "Moreover, most of those Blue Star humans go to the various residential buildings and apartments in Long City to find food themselves, and there are also many ordinary foods that they can eat. We only need to give them a fixed amount of Spirit Realm food every day."

After all, the Blue Star humans, who seem to be the most numerous, don't actually need to eat too much food with the power of rules.

They can simply eat some local Blue Star food to fill their stomachs.

And you should know that Long City used to be a large city with a population of millions.

In every corner of the city and in the warehouses, there are still countless supplies that can be scavenged and reused.

After all, most of those supermarkets and warehouses are now in darkness.

So, because the undead rules can freeze time.

Most of those supplies will not spoil or be damaged.

As long as they are found, they can still allow these Blue Star humans to have enough to eat.

So now, these Blue Star humans only need to be given a portion of Spirit Realm food, or even Mount \u0026 Blade food, to keep their bodies extremely healthy.

Then, for Shen Mu, the consumption of supplies in his Derheim would not be too fast.

"Yes, you've done well, Mannid," Shen Mu nodded.

Distribution according to need and distribution according to labor is also as it should be. After all, he also understands that his Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers only need to eat Mount \u0026 Blade food.

And the Spirit Realm food seized from the Diesel Company can also be eaten by his Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers.

This naturally solves part of the food problem.

At the same time, it also allows those Spirit Realm commanders who have Blue Star humans following them to eat Spirit Realm food and Mount \u0026 Blade food together.

The consumption won't be too much.

On the contrary, those ordinary Blue Star humans can eat some regular Blue Star food, and then, in order to make up for their spirit and physical strength, slightly mixing in a little Spirit Realm food is just right.

At least for Shen Mu, this is indeed good.

So Shen Mu is not short of food, and the only place that is actually short of food is the newly established Vaegir castle, New Rivacheg.

"In that case, we still need to send troops to New Rivacheg to deliver a batch of food," Shen Mu pondered.

New Rivacheg cannot be allowed to run out of food.

That place is no longer just his logistics base, but also the key position for him to block the Sujia Village station and the invasion of the devils from Hell into Balihe Street.

Once there is turmoil in the New Rivacheg castle, if the devils under the Sujia Village station take advantage of the situation, it would be a very big impact on his Derheim.

It can be said that now that Shen Mu has determined that Derheim has been stably established here.

The direction of New Rivacheg is his top priority for construction.

So Shen Mu also told Torres about the shortage of food in New Rivacheg. After all, Torres now has 50 carriages here, and there are also sufficient caravan guards, hired sentries, and caravan members as transporters and protectors.

If Torres can help, then it can save a lot of energy. After all, these carriages are specially used for transportation.

Not only is the load capacity large, but it can also drive smoothly.

It is estimated that about two or three trips can fill the granaries of New Rivacheg castle.

"Oh, so that's the situation," Torres had no intention of refusing at this time. After listening to Shen Mu's introduction, he immediately stood up, placed his hand on his chest, and bowed respectfully, saying, "These are trivial matters, and it is my honor to serve you."

"Yes, very good," Shen Mu nodded in satisfaction.

"Lord Shen Mu, in that case, let me first coordinate the supplies to be transported over," Mannid reported at this time, "Also, those supplies brought back by Torres need to be arranged into the warehouse, so I will arrange it as soon as possible."

"Go," Shen Mu waved his hand, and also let Mannid and Torres go out together to complete the tasks he had just arranged.

Just as Mannid said just now, so many supplies brought back also need to be classified and then stored separately in warehouses or granaries.

And Torres can just take advantage of this process, according to Mannid's overall arrangement, to transport some supplies and then head towards New Rivacheg, transporting the life-saving rations.

Although Shen Mu didn't say too much just now, according to his analysis, the food reserves in New Rivacheg must not be much.

At most, there are only two or three days left before the food runs out.

Otherwise, Shen Mu would not have focused on telling him about the problem of insufficient food reserves there. After all, Torres is also a genius-level businessman, able to keenly deduce the urgency in the information based on the tone and demeanor, as well as subtle expressions, in what others say.

Of course, these are the keys to earning denars in daily business activities.

Now, of course, it is also a more efficient skill in the process of serving Shen Mu.

Shen Mu didn't care about the psychological fluctuations of the two.

After the two left, he stood up from the main seat in the living room and walked towards his bedroom.

Because in his bedroom, the hilt of the Dragon Banner fragment that can accommodate the power of faith, that special artifact, is still placed on his bedroom bedside table.

And within it, at this moment, it had already absorbed the power of faith, gathered over the past three or four days from the spiritual energy of those Blue Star humans, after he left Dertherim!

It was stored within the grip of that special artifact, the Dragon Flag fragment.

"It's right here."

Shen Mu arrived in his bedroom, opened the door, and there on the bedside table next to the large bed, lay the grip of the Dragon Flag fragment, resembling an ordinary grip.

It looked plain and unremarkable, yet it was a fragment of Shen Mu's original world artifact.

‘Buzz!’

As if sensing Shen Mu's arrival, the Dragon Flag fragment grip immediately began to vibrate gently, releasing subtle forces of order.

Within these subtle forces, a sense of closeness and joy towards Shen Mu was conveyed.

It was like a pitiful little dog recognizing its master.

"Alright, let me see how much faith power has been stored now."

Shen Mu walked over and reached out to grasp the Dragon Flag fragment grip.

With a thought, he connected to the system.

A dialogue box appeared before his eyes.

[Item Name]: Dragon Flag (Fragment State) (Grip) (1/7 Fragments)

[Item Description]: Legend has it that this is the most precious item of a complete world and its derivative worlds, embodying the highest faith from these worlds. Whoever masters the complete "Dragon Flag" will have the potential to be crowned "King of the World."

[Item Part]: Upper Grip (Divided into: ① Upper Grip; ② Lower Grip; ③ Spear Tip; ④ Tail Spike; ⑤ Left Dragon Flag; ⑥ Right Dragon Flag; ⑦ Divine Dragon Ornament)

[Current Effects] —

[① Bearing Faith (Dragon Flag): This sacred artifact once represented the rule of the world, thus embodying the desires and faith of countless populations from 2 main worlds and countless derivative worlds, countless races and nations.]

[② Grip Enhancement (Upper Grip): When you offer this sacred artifact, the grip strength of all your personnel will be enhanced. Ranged +10% accuracy, Melee +10% damage.]

[Faith Value Stored: 54711 points.]

The content in the dialogue box detailed the specific situation of the Dragon Flag fragment.

"Hmm?!"

Shen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly.

He was already aware of the specifics of the Dragon Flag fragment, but the existing faith value, the amount of faith power already stored, was something he hadn't expected.

It was over 54,000 points.

The amount of faith power was indeed beyond his expectations, because when he left Dertherim before, the amount of faith power inside was still 0.

Only 4 days had passed, and it had directly reached the current amount.

"It's a bit beyond expectations."

Shen Mu's face wore a look of pleasant surprise.

But thinking about it, Shen Mu had already remembered what Zhang Caidong had mentioned when he met with those humans before.

It was that they had basically completed the overall planning for those Blue Star humans.

They had incorporated all those Blue Star humans, about 30,000 in number, into the planning of his new human territory, and started to organize them into teams, engaging in a normal working life like they did at the Diesel Company.

And the so-called working life meant praying within the open space of Dertherim, so that their mental energy could be transformed into the power of faith that could be absorbed by the lord's core.

Of course, the Mount \u0026 Blade rules and Mount \u0026 Blade system that Shen Mu possessed were bound to be different from the Spirit Realm rules.

But the principle was the same.

After all, the Mount \u0026 Blade rules had already absorbed the Spirit Realm rules, the Abyss rules, the Hell rules, and the Necromantic rules.

It could be said that the reason why the Mount \u0026 Blade rules were able to grow into what they are now was because of the growth that resulted from absorbing these 4 rules.

In fact, it also included the Blue Star rules, the collapsing rules that were already in a weak state.

It had already been absorbed by the Mount \u0026 Blade rules.

Otherwise, why would the various powers that originally belonged to the game rules in the Mount \u0026 Blade rules, which were not complete at all, be able to appear alive in the Blue Star world? It was because after absorbing so many rules, they all possessed true rule blessing, that they were able to create the foundation and strength that Shen Mu possessed now.

"In this way, my initiative to let Zhang Caidong be responsible for the overall planning of these Blue Star humans was indeed a wise move."

Shen Mu also felt satisfied with his cleverness.

Only 4 days had passed, and he had already harvested more than 57,000 points of faith power.

This meant that as long as he gradually got on the right track in the future, he would obtain more and more faith power, and eventually, according to what Zhang Caidong said, the more than 30,000 Blue Star humans would continuously provide him with more than 30,000 points of saturated faith power every day.

In that case, with more than 30,000 points of faith power every day, whether it was the construction or the growth of crops, or even the caravan.

All could receive sufficient strengthening and enhancement.

"Then I also need to think carefully about how to make those Blue Star humans quite satisfied with my current rule."

Shen Mu stroked his chin.

As long as they were satisfied with his rule, it would be equivalent to placing their psychological sustenance on him, and when praying, they would involuntarily transmit all their mental energy to Shen Mu.

This would be equivalent to handing over all the power of faith to Shen Mu, allowing Shen Mu's faith value to become higher and higher and more and more.

This would be a virtuous cycle.

"Perhaps I should also let them have a taste of some abundant Spirit Realm food."

Shen Mu also stroked his chin, tentatively formulating a plan.

Food is definitely a way to capture people's hearts.

And the more one is in a low point in life, or in the lower levels of the class, then a hearty meal can not only capture their stomach and mouth, but also create a comforting effect on their soul.

Thereby producing a good effect of capturing people's hearts.

And now Shen Mu happened to have halflings, these excellent chefs as instructors, and a considerable number of Swadian civilians as assistants.

Then it was quite easy to make a batch of relatively delicious Spirit Realm food.

Moreover, even if it was not delicious Spirit Realm food, for these ordinary Blue Star humans, it was also a special food that had an excellent enhancement effect on them and was quite nourishing.

‘Knock knock knock.’ Just as Shen Mu was thinking, his door was gently knocked from the outside.

"Lord Shen Mu."

Then, a Swadian sergeant's voice came from outside the door: "Zhang Caidong is in the living room, saying he wants to see you and report on his work again."

"Zhang Caidong?"

Shen Mu was slightly stunned, he also just wanted to find Zhang Caidong.

So he nodded and replied: "Let him wait for me in the living room, I'll come down right away."
