A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

In the darkness, Zhang Caidong was panting heavily, looking at Zhang Bo and the other Blue Star humans beside him, swallowing hard, and waving his hand to greet them, saying: "Alright! Everyone! Check your casualties! Are you all okay?"

"We're fine, Brother Caidong!" The executives and middle managers among these Blue Star humans tallied their Spirit Realm humans, and after confirming that there were no abnormal situations on their side, they all replied to Zhang Caidong.

"It's good that you're okay." Zhang Caidong nodded, but there was still some lingering fear in his heart.

Especially when he looked at the darkness and the skeleton cavalry that had just appeared there, his face was a little bitter, and he couldn't help but turn his head and say to Zhang Bo next to him: "Recently, everything has been too smooth, and I almost forgot that these more terrifying skeleton cavalry exist. If we had been a little later, we would have been slaughtered by those skeleton cavalry."

"Yes, it's really dangerous. We've really been a little lax recently." Zhang Bo also nodded. There was also a bit of fear in his eyes. After all, he had learned about these terrifying cavalry before, and because he was in the Diesel Company, he had seen hundreds of skeleton cavalry charging together.

At that time, even Pigmen didn't dare to directly confront these skeleton cavalry. If it weren't for the fact that this area was mostly the territory of the skeleton archers.

These skeleton cavalry rarely set foot in the urban area of Longcheng City.

Otherwise, it would be really troublesome.

Moreover, just now, he was indeed close, almost dying. He had even heard the threat of death from the scimitars and spears held by those skeleton cavalry, which were about to reach his back.

If it hadn't been for Zhang Caidong, who was stronger, pulling him forward, he would have been in danger if he had fallen behind by a dozen steps.

"Thanks, Brother Caidong." Zhang Bo put his arm around Zhang Caidong's arm at this time, and said with considerable emotion: "If it weren't for you just now, I really don't know what to do. My physique as a mage is really too weak."

As he spoke, he also showed a wry smile.

"Brother Bo, what are you talking about? How many times have you saved me? How many times have you helped me? Now that you thank me, I've only done a trivial little thing." Zhang Caidong directly waved his hand to signal Zhang Bo not to say these things. After all, their relationship now goes without saying.

"Well, I'll keep it in mind." Zhang Bo also smiled at this time, looking at Zhang Caidong quite sincerely, and then panting heavily, with a smile on his face.

Only when Zhang Bo turned his face away, there was a hint of gloom in his eyes.

Saving his life, yes, it was saving his life.

But Zhang Bo didn't care that Zhang Caidong had saved his life, because what he cared about was that Zhang Caidong's tone now had increasingly brought himself into the Dehrim camp, and it was quite difficult to win him over.

Before, Zhang Bo wanted Zhang Caidong to join the Green Leaf Group, so that Zhang Caidong could give the Green Leaf Group some help.

After all, the Blue Star human forces controlled by Zhang Caidong are quite large. If Zhang Caidong can control all these Blue Star humans and bring them under the control of the Green Leaf Group, it is equivalent to saying that the Green Leaf Group has achieved rapid development and can continuously generate more spiritual energy.

In this way, the Green Leaf Group can also reach a relatively powerful level in a short period of time.

But now, looking at Zhang Caidong's tone towards Dehrim, which is respectful, reverent, and somewhat fanatical, Zhang Bo knows that Zhang Caidong is hopeless, and it is estimated that he has completely invested in the Dehrim camp and cannot get out.

In this case, it will not be of much help to Zhang Bo's future espionage activities.

If Zhang Bo brings the Green Leaf Group's troops to infiltrate, Zhang Caidong is probably no longer trustworthy, and there is no way to rely on him to rebel and bring these Green Leaf Group's troops directly into the core area of Dehrim to assassinate those generals in key positions.

"Damn it, this is really troublesome, the situation is getting more and more difficult." Zhang Bo subconsciously clenched his fists.

But he had no choice.

At this time, Zhang Bo also felt a sense of powerlessness.

"Okay, everyone, take a rest, and then prepare, we are going to enter the darkness again." Zhang Caidong raised his hand at this time and looked at the executives and middle managers among these Blue Star humans, and greeted them: "Those skeleton cavalry have already left here, it should be safe here for the time being, we will continue to level up in this area, but don't go deep into the darkness, to avoid causing a backlash from the darkness again."

"Understood, we all know." The executives and middle managers of those Blue Star humans nodded one after another. In fact, they also understood that before Dehrim was established, they knew that they could not stay in one place for a long time or lead their Spirit Realm followers to kill too many undead monsters, otherwise the Spirit Realm rules would sense this and send more undead monsters to descend here.

Before, it should have been that they killed too many undead monsters, which led to the undead rules being detected, and then this batch of skeleton cavalry descended.

However, with this batch of skeleton cavalry coming, it obviously means that the intensity of the undead monsters descending here by the undead rules will decrease a bit. They can continue to fight here tonight, so it is impossible to encounter more powerful undead monsters again.

These are all experiences. After all, those Blue Star humans who did not summarize their experiences and did not realize the danger of the matter have already died.

So Zhang Caidong led the executives and middle managers among these Blue Star humans to continue into the darkness, leading his Swadian recruits and civilians to continue fighting with the teachers and skeletons that appeared in the darkness.

And Zhang Bo also followed Zhang Caidong with his little sprite.

It's just that Zhang Bo didn't leave Zhang Caidong too far at this time, but carefully observed the surrounding situation, as if he was on guard for them against possible threats. After all, as a prediction-type mage, he can, to some extent, predict danger. As long as he can predict danger in advance, then they can react earlier.

It can also guarantee their safety.

At this time, the eyes of those executives and middle managers around them also showed a bit of improvement towards Zhang Bo. After all, they all understood that Zhang Bo didn't have to come here, after all, he didn't have Swadian humans as an upgrade object.

There is also no urgent need to upgrade these Swadian humans.

So, coming here and risking their own lives is entirely to serve them, to foresee the dangers they might encounter. Therefore, these high-level and mid-level managers are truly filled with respect for Zhang Bo.

At this moment, Zhang Bo saw the respectful gazes of those high-level and mid-level managers, and a smile appeared on his lips. He nodded in response to each of them, appearing very refined and amiable.

In Dehrym, Zhang Bo was originally a very refined and amiable person. No matter who came to him for help, he would patiently solve their problems. Therefore, he was truly well-liked.

Moreover, Zhang Bo's popularity was even better among the mid-level managers, because Zhang Bo was the one who decided when the mid-level managers submitted their lists.

Furthermore, Zhang Bo explained in detail to Zhang Caidong why the list should be submitted, and also indirectly informed those high-level managers, making them understand why some of their power needed to be distributed.

Otherwise, causing unnecessary suspicion would also be a troublesome matter for them. As for these Blue Star humans, they could easily understand this.

Therefore, Zhang Bo now has good relations with both mid-level and high-level managers.

In addition, Zhang Bo is now willing to risk his life to come over and provide early warnings, not to mention how grateful these high-level and mid-level managers are to him.

Of course, the mid-level managers are the most grateful.

These mid-level managers have already had conflicts with those high-level managers. If it weren't for Zhang Caidong and Zhang Bo mediating, they would soon be targeted and unable to tolerate this behavior. Moreover, they are already being targeted, and these mid-level managers are sent to the most dangerous situations.

However, when some relatively simple undead monsters are discovered, these mid-level managers are sent out first, and their own people only go after them.

This has led to the current truly embarrassing situation for these mid-level managers.

"If that's the case, these mid-level managers seem easier to win over. If they are all willing to unite around me, then at critical moments, these mid-level managers can become my help. After all, it's difficult to approach these mid-level managers. Usually, Shen Mu only meets with those high-level managers, and only occasionally hears a word or two about the mid-level managers."

At this time, Zhang Bo also thought about some things, especially seeing how those mid-level managers were being squeezed out in front of the high-level managers, and he became thoughtful.

He had always been taking the high-level route before, but now he suddenly realized that if he focused on taking the mid-level route, the effect would definitely be better. After all, the mid-level is the largest group in number, and they also have direct leadership. After all, the high-level are high above, and only the mid-level are involved in how to manage the lower-level managers and the lower-level Blue Star humans.

If he unites these mid-level managers and overthrows those high-level managers, then it is equivalent to overthrowing the senior management. Even if those senior managers issue any orders, they will not be able to reach the bottom, then it is equivalent to his orders being the real orders, and the words of those senior managers have become air.

Wouldn't that be the same as saying that Shen Mu's orders have also become air?

After all, if Shen Mu wants to issue an order, he will first issue it to these senior managers, and then these senior managers will issue it to the mid-level management, and then the mid-level management will issue it to the grassroots, so that the grassroots can handle it.

"That's right, that's how it is. It was indeed unwise of me to take the high-level route before." Zhang Bo thought for a moment and still realized that he had been somewhat inconsiderate before. Now that he has discovered this, he wants to continue to plan carefully.

Time cannot be delayed any longer. He must win over these mid-level managers in a short period of time.

Moreover, the high-level managers have already completed their allegiance and transformation to the Spirit Race.

The rest are those mid-level managers.

"Then who should be appointed among these mid-level managers needs to be decided by me. Otherwise, once there is no power to appoint or dismiss personnel, it is equivalent to giving up one's own power, and obtaining the power to appoint or dismiss personnel is equivalent to giving them a way to rise, and they will be very grateful to me."

Zhang Bo thought of this and looked at Zhang Caidong next to him, as well as those high-level managers.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he also thought of a way.

He must use some of the potential contradictions within Zhang Caidong and these high-level managers, as well as the high-level managers' mistaken belief that Shen Mu is suspicious of him, to carry out this plan.

"I'll wait until I go back and talk to them properly, and then these high-level managers, I will also have a good chat with them. I must pretend to be powerful and use the power of Zhang Caidong and Shen Mu to intimidate them, so that they know fear in their hearts, so they will hand over this power to me without reservation."

Zhang Bo's eyes flashed with a sharp light. After he understood, he had already formulated a small plan.

A plan that is enough to subvert Dehrym.

......

The morning sun had just risen, and Shen Mu woke up from his room, slowly reaching out to prop up his body. As the blanket covering him slipped off, his strong muscles were revealed.

"Bring me a glass of water," Shen Mu turned his head and said to the half-closed door.

"Understood." A Holy Tree Knight immediately walked in, holding a pot of freshly boiled hot water. He came to the dining table in the room, added honey and milk to the cup, and then poured in the hot water.

After confirming that the temperature in the cup was just right, he came to Shen Mu and handed him the glass of honey milk water.

"Thank you!" Shen Mu nodded.

"Lord Shen Mu, Mr. Bestur wants to see you outside. He came over in the evening. He has already prepared to receive your audience at the door this morning," the Holy Tree Knight reported.

"Bestur suddenly wants to see me? Well, okay, tell the halfling chefs to prepare breakfast for me and Bestur," Shen Mu was stunned for a moment, but still nodded and instructed the Holy Tree Knight: "Add more meat and beans. Storr has just finished his night patrol work, and I think he should eat a hearty meal. For me, just make it ordinary, add more pumpkin sauce and boiled carrots. I want to supplement more vegetables today."

"Understood." The Holy Tree Knight immediately turned and went to convey the order. (End of this chapter)
