A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

Nalot and his two bandit friends, carrying nearly 30 pieces of ironware, left Shen Mu's stronghold.

Just like when they came, they turned into shadows within the wheat field, gradually and completely disappearing.

"Lord Shen Mu, those three guys have left."

A new Lake Rat Gang member returned to report.

"Mm." Shen Mu nodded, his tone calm: "I know. Next time they come, they might be our real friends."

Shen Mu waved, signaling the new Lake Rat Gang member to return to his post at the entrance connecting the main house stronghold and the wheat field.

The entrance connecting the corridor was guarded by two Swadian light infantrymen.

The division of labor among them was extremely clear.

As for the shooting positions, the 10 hired sentries took turns guarding and resting with their light crossbows, arranged by themselves.

Including the Swadian light infantrymen and recruits who were already sleeping on makeshift beds on the ground floor of the main house.

Everything looked well-organized.

"I should go back to sleep too." Shen Mu glanced out the window, still dark, with gray mist flowing and the rules of the undead permeating the night.

Still that terrifying, dangerous, evil, and bizarre appearance.

Only.

For Shen Mu, that absolute fear had quietly disappeared with the appearance of these Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers.

Shen Mu went up the steep stairs to the second floor of the main house, opened the bedroom that belonged to him, and walked in.

A simple but sturdy wooden bed, soft straw padding on the bed, animal skin spread on top, and a handmade woolen blanket.

Although it was inferior to the Simmons mattress and down comforter he used to sleep on.

But when it covered Shen Mu.

It brought a sense of security and warmth that could protect even his soul.

"This isn't an illusion, it's real." Shen Mu lay on the bed, thoughtfully: "It should be the Mount \u0026 Blade rules taking effect."

Before, even when sleeping next to a bonfire, he could feel the chill originating from his soul.

That should have been the erosion of the undead rules.

The warmth now.

Is the Mount \u0026 Blade rules protecting him!

"Right, I remember I have a bronze-level treasure chest that I haven't opened yet."

Shen Mu thought of something before going to sleep.

His mind communicated with the system again.

[Ding! You have opened a 'Bronze-Level Treasure Chest'.]

[Congratulations! You have obtained 'Light Ballista' × 1.]

Instantly, a dialog box refreshed on his retina.

And in Shen Mu's mind, a bronze-colored card with a ballista drawn on it appeared.

Then, the ballista's secondary page unfolded.

[Item Name: Light Ballista]

[Item Description: This is a light version of a powerful ballista. After being cocked with a winch, it can fire a one-meter-long short spear, effectively killing enemies within a range of 150 meters.]

[Item Instructions: Requires 2 people to operate, and a 3-meter × 3-meter space is required when deployed.]

"Light ballista." Shen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, his face showing a hint of stunned surprise.

This was truly winning the lottery.

Especially with the demon monster army about to attack his stronghold, having such a powerful weapon was like sending charcoal in the snow, plus version!

"Install it on the second floor."

Shen Mu's mind moved, making a decision.

And right next to Shen Mu's bedroom, near the corridor, was the room where the off-duty hired sentries rested and prepared for battle.

'Buzz!' An abstruse power descended first, followed by a stream of data that instantly appeared from between Shen Mu's eyebrows.

Intertwining with each other, it transformed into white light and began to manifest.

When the white light gradually dissipated.

A brand-new ballista, as if it had just been made, with a two-meter crossbow arm and a three-meter body, appeared there.

The wooden trough emitted a slightly foul-smelling lubricant, and the iron components were painted black and shiny.

And next to this ballista, the data stream finally wrapped around it.

White light flashed.

Inside three wooden barrels for holding wine, 30 short spears were stuck.

Densely packed, they resembled a giant, stuffed hedgehog, giving any allied soldier standing next to it an absolute sense of security.

Light ballista, the name had the word "light," but it was still a ballista!

Not to mention ordinary soldiers.

Even heavily armed, fully armored, and wielding the thickest kite shields, heavy infantrymen would feel fear when facing a ballista.

Even heavy cavalry with iron shields, with both man and horse in plate armor.

Within a distance of 50 meters.

Would have to pay their respects to this light ballista.

"With this ballista, it's like having a Rhodok Sharpshooter." Shen Mu chuckled.

Moreover, when defending the city.

The effect of a light ballista is sometimes even stronger than that of a Rhodok Sharpshooter!

For example…

Just outside the second floor, directly aiming at the elevator room on the seventh floor of the apartment building, all the way to the stronghold's main house, the narrow corridor!

Paired with these hired sentries, Shen Mu knew just thinking about it that it would definitely turn this corridor into a death corridor!

"Not bad." Shen Mu fell asleep easily.

However, outside.

On the seventh floor of the apartment building.

On the diagonal side of the 日-shaped layout.

Room 7040.

A wisp of even thicker gray mist began to spread out from the crack in the door.

Moreover, an increasingly strong smell of sulfur, along with the spread of the gray mist, began to appear on this floor.

If observed carefully.

It could even be discovered that within this crack in the door, there seemed to be some kind of frenzied, chaotic, and violent aura gathering.

Gathering bit by bit.

Like.

An egg about to hatch!

……

The next day, early morning.

The moment the first ray of sunlight appeared, the darkness and dense gray mist that enveloped the entire Blue Star, as if eternally, instantly dissipated.

Only in certain corners where sunlight couldn't reach, in dark places, was there still the existence of darkness and gray mist.

But on the vast land, cities, mountains, rivers.

Various buildings, factories, and unique architecture.

All appeared one after another.

As if everything had returned to the glorious era of Blue Star.

"It's so comfortable." Shen Mu lifted the woolen blanket, and the whole person sat up from the bed, squinting his eyes to look out the window.

The sky was still slightly dim, but the sun had already risen, and the sky was getting brighter and brighter.

Shen Mu lifted the wooden board that served as a window.

Outside the apartment, the distant high-rise buildings, like a steel jungle in the city center, made him stare in a daze.

"Long City." The name of that city appeared in Shen Mu's mind.

Also the general term for this area.

The city where his predecessor had lived for seventeen or eighteen years.

And.

In the three years of darkness, he dared not easily approach it, a devil's den full of danger, full of terror, full of the threat of death.

High-rise buildings were once the symbol of the glory and prosperity of Blue Star's cities.

But.

When the undead rules descended.

The vast underground shopping malls, civil defense works, underground garages, and subway networks became breeding grounds for undead monsters.

Not to mention at night, even during the day, if it wasn't bright noon, there would be a thin gray mist lingering.

If it was a cloudy day, even undead monsters would appear!

"And it's even more dangerous when encountering a black tide." Shen Mu pursed his lips, and when he thought of this word, a deep fear appeared in his eyes.

Because according to his predecessor's memory, the black tide, which appeared once every three months, seemed to be coming soon!

But just at this moment, the bedroom door was knocked.

"Knock, knock, knock."

At the same time, a Swadian light infantryman's voice came from outside: "Lord Shen Mu, there are people outside claiming to be neighbors from the fifth floor who want to see you."
