A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

Ding! A new day has arrived! You have gained 32114 Faith Points in the town of [Dhirim]! Since you cannot absorb this Faith Value, it has been stored in your artifact, the Dragon Banner Fragment.

Shen Mu did not stay outside for too long at night. After checking the maximum range of the Holy Light Torch Tower, he led the troops back to Dhirim with peace of mind.

Of course, Bestur, as the general on duty tonight, still had to lead the Prairie Bandits, whose movements were extremely dense and whose reactions were quite fast, on duty.

After all, when the Prairie Bandits arrived in Dhirim, their super mobility was instantly recognized by Bandak and Fatis.

Previously, patrols in Dhirim were the responsibility of Swadian Militiamen and Swadian Light Infantry.

It was because the Swadian Militia and the Swadian Light Infantry themselves had better mobility, so they could react quickly if something happened, and the patrol teams formed could directly reinforce if something really happened.

And even if they encountered real danger, they could call out to the city wall to raise the alarm, and then the generals stationed on the city wall would arrange what kind of soldiers to send to counter it.

Although the effect was obvious, it always felt a bit clumsy. After all, no matter what, the infantry on two legs, or even the classic heavy infantry and heavy cavalry of the Swadian Kingdom, were too slow to react.

It was simply not as convenient and quick as these Khergit Prairie Bandits who could fight directly on horseback and attack the enemy with bows and arrows.

Therefore, when they arrived in Dhirim, they were immediately appointed as a rapid reaction force. As long as there were duty or reconnaissance missions, they would be sent directly.

Of course, these were no longer things for Shen Mu to continue thinking about.

The current Dhirim has entered the right track, and the generals he has acquired, such as Fatis, Bandak, Jeremus, and Marnid, will share part of the work for him.

Including Bestur and Lezalit, who have just arrived.

They have all joined the scope of sharing work.

For example, arranging patrols, reconnaissance, and night watch duties are basically taken care of by Bestur and Bandak.

Bestur simply can't sleep at night. His experience is just like the Khergit people, quite excited.

Bandak is worried about others being on duty at night, and he also wants to monitor this energetic Khergit, Bestur, in his heart, so that he doesn't play any tricks.

After all, he has experienced the terrifying period when undead monsters roamed outside the city walls at night.

To completely hand over the night to a selfish, evil-aligned general to guard is equivalent to entrusting one's own life and the lives of everyone in Dhirim to this Bestur, this evil-aligned general.

He couldn't rest assured.

Just as during the day, Fatis was in charge of patrolling and guarding the walls of the castle and town areas, while Lezalit took the initiative to lead the cavalry to conduct reconnaissance and sentry duty outside.

Although it was to fight for Lord Shen Mu in this other world.

However, these good-aligned generals are really very worried about these evil-aligned guys.

If there is anything, they still need to do it themselves, and then they will feel relieved.

Of course, Shen Mu doesn't need to care about these things. Anyway, whether it is a good-aligned general or an evil-aligned general, they are all loyal to him.

Having just woken up from bed, rubbing his eyes, and regaining his energy, he looked at the dialogue box that appeared in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face.

"As expected, the power of faith I gained today has increased again. It seems that as long as I manage these Blue Star humans well, the power of faith I gain will increase more and more."

At this time, hearing the sound coming from the room, the Holy Tree Knight on duty at the door also pushed the door in to ask: "Lord, breakfast this morning is ready, do you need to eat it now?"

"Arrange it in the restaurant on the first floor, I'll go down now." Shen Mu nodded, and asked the Holy Tree Knight to arrange it.

However, at this moment, he also called another Holy Tree Knight and instructed him: "Invite all the generals to my restaurant for dinner this morning, and discuss some of the things we have encountered recently and the next plan. And if there are no accidents, I hope they will come for such a process every day."

"Understood, I will go and inform the other generals, my lord." The Holy Tree Knight nodded, and then went to convey Shen Mu's order.

Before long, Shen Mu changed his clothes and simply washed up, and came to the restaurant.

At this time, his Mount \u0026 Blade generals were already waiting here.

They were still chatting and communicating or laughing with each other, but the good-aligned ones played with the good-aligned ones, and the evil-aligned ones played with the evil-aligned ones.

And each other seemed to have mutual friendships.

For example, Bandak and Fatis were chatting very happily.

Jeremus and Marnid were also chatting about life-related things in a casual manner.

As the only two people in the evil camp, Bestur and Lezalit, of course, sat together, laughing and chatting and bragging about some of the things they had encountered.

It can be said that just a restaurant has vaguely formed many small groups.

Of course, Shen Mu still doesn't care about this. As long as they can be loyal to themselves, their so-called groups don't matter to him, after all, their role is to serve him.

This time, calling them over for breakfast together was also to have a meeting together, just like the work he learned in large groups in his previous life.

If there is anything, it can be directly resolved in the morning, or if there is anything next, give a preventive shot in advance, and it will be much easier to promote the work next.

The key is that Shen Mu comes to make decisions himself.

"Lord, you're here."

"Good morning, Lord Shen Mu."

When Shen Mu arrived at the restaurant, these Mount \u0026 Blade generals also stood up one after another, respectfully bowing to Shen Mu with their hands on their chests.

"Yes, you too." Shen Mu nodded, letting the generals sit back down at the table.

Then, clapping his hands, the halflings who had already prepared the food in the nearby kitchen brought up the fragrant food, and the Swadian Light Infantry who were serving as attendants also helped to carry up those heavy pots and jars.

They were all quite delicious foods.

Whether it was vegetables or meat, these Mount \u0026 Blade generals ate with great satisfaction.

They also gave high praise to the halflings' cooking skills.

After all, in the previously chaotic Calradia continent, they had no way to eat such delicious food. Most of what they usually ate were some kind of mush or porridge that was even coarser than what ordinary people ate, or just dry rations.

At most, they would eat some meat.

Things like soft white bread, baked until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and smeared with cream, which were almost works of art that only the royal court could eat, were rarely enjoyed by them. After all, no matter what, they were nobles or civilians, or even ordinary people, responsible for fighting. It was impossible to eat these things on the battlefield.

Now that they were able to enjoy such delicious food in Shen Mu's noble mansion, they were naturally very happy.

Therefore, during the meal, the atmosphere on the entire dining table was quite harmonious. They also answered Shen Mu's questions one by one, even about some things proposed by the Good Camp.

Beshtur and Lezalit, as members of the Evil Camp, also gave suggestions.

Beshtur and Lezalit, who were patrolling outside, also gave some suggestions regarding the collection of Blue Star humans. Bunduk, Jeremus, Firentis, and Marnid also gave some of their pertinent ideas.

This was quite unusual compared to the past, and it also indicated that they could carry out some limited cooperation. At least they would not cooperate on major issues, but they could cooperate on relatively critical minor issues and would definitely not hold each other back.

In Shen Mu's view, all of this was thriving and everything was moving in a good direction, which was very good.

During the conversation, they basically talked about all the problems that Dhirim had recently encountered, and then gave solutions.

At least with more people, there was more power. The conclusions they reached after discussing with each other were also solutions.

"But speaking of which, this is really a bit interesting, similar to a round table conference." Shen Mu also showed a smile in his heart, and nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the generals who were still answering earnestly for their work: "In this case, even if I go outside, I can rest assured to leave the town to these generals stationed in Dhirim and let them handle it."

Sometimes, the dangers faced by the town are not only some external crises, but also the internal political affairs that are quite important issues.

It was of course what Shen Mu wanted to see that everyone cooperated to make Dhirim better.

"But after waiting for a while, those Blue Star humans should also be included in this round table conference. After all, those humans have now begun to manage the town areas, at least nominally they have begun to manage the Blue Star humans within those town areas."

Shen Mu also thought of Zhang Caidong and the others at this time.

Nominally, he had given them a lot of power, allowing them to manage those Blue Star humans, and even nominally allowing them to manage the town areas.

This was equivalent to making them senior executives, and even senior executives no less than these Mount \u0026 Blade generals. After all, even the Mount \u0026 Blade generals could not command or manage so many Blue Star humans, numbering in the tens of thousands.

In a sense, this senior management team composed of Blue Star humans was also equivalent to another hand of Shen Mu. After all, if he wanted to obtain the power of faith, he would have to rely on these senior executives to assist in management.

The Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers can only be responsible for the simplest combat and cannot manage at all. They even need the Blue Star humans to manage these emotional soldiers in reverse.

The only advantage of the Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers is their absolute loyalty, so he can be quite assured of them. However, because their thinking is too rigid and they do not have the flexible thinking of the Blue Star humans, they also need the Blue Star humans to command these Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers when commanding battles or in daily life.

Moreover, as long as the Blue Star humans command these Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers, Shen Mu can also indirectly monitor these Blue Star humans through these Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers.

If anything happens, he can also stop it in time through the Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers. This is also one of his little ideas.

It is even a trump card.

After all, those Blue Star humans simply cannot imagine that these Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers are actually still completely listening to Shen Mu. The reason why these Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers follow those Blue Star humans is entirely because Shen Mu has conferred titles on them.

And this conferral is actually what those Blue Star humans think is the transformation of the Spirit Realm Commander. They simply cannot imagine that the Spirit Realm Commander has absolute control over the followers of the Spirit Realm creatures. Now their absolute command over the Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers is just a kind of order from superiors to subordinates in the army.

It simply cannot reach the level of control over them at the soul level by the Spirit Realm Commander.

Therefore, as long as any situation occurs, Shen Mu can immediately order those Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers to break away from the control of the Centurions and return to his side, so that those Centurions who seem to think that they have become Spirit Realm Commanders and are high above will become lonely people again and cannot do anything.

Sometimes, you still need to think about many things.

After eating with these generals, Shen Mu also wiped his mouth and came to the conference hall next to the first floor.

At this time, it was time to meet those Blue Star humans, and today he also needed to transform the remaining 7 male humans into Centurions, and then hand over some Swadian commoner units to them to help them upgrade.

"Now, please let those Blue Star humans come over." Shen Mu also waved to the Swadian Light Infantry at the door at this time, asking him to notify those senior executives to come back again.

The Swadian Light Infantry bowed respectfully and turned to walk out of the door. Not long after, those Blue Star humans gathered together at the door of the noble mansion.

Led by Zhang Caidong, there were also the other 9 senior executives who had already received the Centurion title in advance and each led 10 Swadian commoners, and then led the remaining 7 plus three new Blue Star humans into Shen Mu's noble mansion.

However, this time Zhang Bo was not among the three new people, but was replaced by Sun Zhiru's long-term, trusted partners. (End of this chapter)
