A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

Liu Na was surprised.

Especially when she arrived at the elevator entrance and was stopped by two human soldiers wearing cotton robes underneath, chainmail overcoats, holding shields in their left hands, spears in their right hands, and long swords hanging at their waists, her eyes widened even further.

Even Polo, the highly learned halfling elder who had followed her, was now wide-eyed, his furry face filled with disbelief.

"The regular army of the humans, the elite soldiers stationed in the important towns of the lords!"

When Polo pushed open the fire door, his expression changed.

Perhaps Liu Na, as a Blue Star native, didn't understand what this equipment represented for a lord and his troops.

But Polo, as a native of the Spirit Realm who had once dealt with human lords, was quite clear—

Only the regular army under the lords would be equipped with chainmail and weapons that looked like standard equipment!

If it was said that among the humans in the Spirit Realm, a small lord who managed his territory well, the kind who even had his own castle, could pull out about 500 such soldiers, it could already be said that he was a famous force in the area.

And more small lords, doing everything they could, regardless of the cost, using savings or loans or selling assets, could only afford to support less than a hundred similar soldiers.

Now, on the seventh floor of this apartment building, at the intersection of the elevator and the stairs.

There were actually five such human soldiers standing guard here.

At the same time, behind them.

There were also ten young men wearing simple cloth robes, holding long-handled scythes, looking like militiamen, patrolling.

It brought an even greater shock from the bottom of their hearts to both Liu Na and the halfling elder Polo!

"Miss Liu Na, I think, this neighbor on the seventh floor may have really obtained a lord's mark, and it's a human lord's."

Polo reminded Liu Na in a low voice.

"Mm."

A complex look appeared in Liu Na's eyes, she pursed her lips, and said with a worried expression: "The other party already has a lord's mark, so can they really still look upon me, a level 1 druid, and cooperate?"

"Precisely because the other party is a human lord, it is very likely that they will cooperate with you, Miss Liu Na."

Polo explained: "You have the ability to make plants grow quickly, and you can also cultivate mushrooms and earthworms as food, and they are Spirit Realm foods that have not been polluted.

Compared to Blue Star's local food, which has been completely polluted by the undead rules and has no special effects, the effect will be better, the feeling of fullness will be more sufficient, long-term consumption can also enhance the combat power of Spirit Realm creatures, and will not cause languor due to frequently eating Blue Star's food."

"Then I will try my best to persuade him."

Liu Na nodded, pursing her lips.

She understood Polo's point.

She also knew that if Spirit Realm creatures consumed Blue Star's local food for a long time, they would not only become languid but also experience a decline in combat power.

Liu Na also had her own set of logic.

It was as if constantly eating food that was not nutritious and only provided a feeling of fullness, although one was full, would still lead to malnutrition over time.

Only by eating those Spirit Realm foods with magical power, like supplementing protein, fat, and various trace elements, could one not only be full but also maintain their state and even become healthier and stronger.

"They're here."

At this time, the halfling elder Polo whispered a reminder.

Footsteps came from the corner of the corridor that was blocked by the human guards in front.

Liu Na raised her head.

A contemporary who was also wearing chainmail, holding a long sword, with handsome and resolute features, young but strong, was walking over with great strides.

"Hello."

At the same time, he nodded and smiled at her, with a kind attitude.

"Ah, hello."

Liu Na felt a little insecure for no reason, lowered her face, which had not seen sunlight for many years, slightly, appearing a little socially awkward, and even her tone was a little softer: "…Neighbor."

… …

"So, Miss Liu Na, you are the legendary Spirit Realm professional, and also a druid closely related to nature! ?"

Shen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, his tone also surprised.

He had listened to the introduction of his neighbor.

As he expected, it was indeed the guy from the fifth floor who was called a weirdo by Geng Jun on the second floor.

He just didn't expect that this weirdo was actually a beautiful girl of the same age.

And also a professional!

"I… I'm just a level 1 druid, I don't have much combat power, I can only help plants grow a little healthier."

Liu Na was now even more slightly lowering her head when speaking, her tone also stuttering, looking like she didn't dare to look at Shen Mu at all.

The level of social phobia is at least severe.

"Being able to become a professional is already very enviable, this is something that many people can't even ask for."

Shen Mu didn't care too much, but sighed with some emotion.

His predecessor had always dreamed of becoming a professional.

He finally found a Spirit Realm imprint that looked like a professional in a certain basement, but it was snatched away by someone else.

The cowardly predecessor committed suicide directly.

This also shows how precious the three words 'professional' represent.

"Sorry, Lord Shen Mu, let me explain the situation on behalf of our Miss Liu Na."

At this time, the halfling elder Polo glanced at Liu Na's socially awkward appearance and sighed.

He understood Liu Na's kind and almost weak character.

So he took the initiative to take over the conversation, and said in Liu Na's grateful gaze: "We live on the fifth floor, we can cultivate some Spirit Realm mushrooms and earthworms, if we make them into energy bars, it can effectively enhance the health problems of Spirit Realm creatures, if possible, I think we can cooperate."

Polo first stated his advantages.

"Mm, that's very good."

Shen Mu immediately understood that this should be talking about Spirit Realm food with 'soul'.

Of course, now for Shen Mu, it is no longer needed.

After all, he has a whole acre of wheat field to produce wheat.

There are also various foods rewarded by the system.

If all else fails, there is also his bandit rendezvous point, where the bankrupt merchant Narolt can purchase food from the world of Mount \u0026 Blade for emergency use.

Shen Mu felt that the energy bar that the halfling was talking about was dispensable.

"He really got the lord's mark!"

But it was Shen Mu's appearance that shocked the halfling elder Polo.

So many soldiers, at least the 15 people currently seen, do not need to worry about food issues.

Then it can definitely be guessed that the young man in front of him has obtained the lord's mark, as long as he pays the fragments of the space-time crystal core, he can summon the ready-made human territory from the completely shattered Spirit Realm crystal wall system.

Even summoning all kinds of food, even various crops, and even buildings that were stored in the territory!

And the halfling elder Polo was also sure that Shen Mu, this young man, already had a lot of food!

"Lord Shen Mu, I think as a lord, you will definitely have a good impression of us halflings, a race that is orderly and kind, good at farming and making small handicrafts, and has a stable personality."

The halfling elder Polo changed his thinking at this time.

His furry face was very solemn.

At the same time, he stretched out his small, claw-like but equally flexible front paw, pointed at Liu Na, and said: "When you plant crops and cultivate trees in your territory, a high-level druid can also provide the important task of taking care of farmland and orchards!"

"Huh?"

Shen Mu was slightly stunned, but he didn't know why the halfling would suddenly say that.

"Please ally with us, Lord Shen Mu, we only need to feel some natural environment that has not been polluted by the undead rules in your territory during the day."

Elder Polo said his purpose at this time: "And we are willing to help you take care of the trivial matters on your territory with everything we are good at."

But after this sentence was finished, Shen Mu's face changed slightly.

"How do you know I have a wheat field?"

Shen Mu had never mentioned that 1 acre of wheat field.

And in order to prevent his secret from being known by others, Shen Mu specially arranged for 5 Swadian light infantry to guard it.

The purpose was to hide the matter that the apartment room at the end of the corridor, originally room 7001, had become the main house of the stronghold.

After all, these are all one of Shen Mu's trump cards!

"We are the most careful halflings, Miss Liu Na is a druid, and can feel the breath of nature."

Elder Polo knew that Shen Mu had already suspected him.

So he stretched out his hand.

From his furry claws, he opened the little bit of soil and half a wheat stalk that had been tightly held inside.

He earnestly requested: "Lord Shen Mu, we are willing to obey your orders, listen to your instructions, please let us also feel the unpolluted breath of nature, we are willing to use everything we are good at to take care of the trivial matters on your territory for you."

It's just that Shen Mu was silent.

It wasn't that he was thinking.

But right in front of Shen Mu's eyes, a new dialog box appeared again.

It was still a new temporary task!

[Ding! The temporary task system detected an event!]

[Temporary task issued: First alliance.]
