A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

“Let's go!”

In fact, the moment Shen Mu heard the heavy crashing sound, he instantly judged that it was the sound of the security door failing.

He immediately led 25 Swadian Light Infantry into the corridor, arranged in rows of 5, left hands holding shields in front, right hands gripping long spears, instantly forming a dense, multi-layered long spear phalanx that resembled a hedgehog!

All the Swadian Light Infantry were closely packed together, forming a wall so thick that it almost blocked the entire corridor.

Any enemy charging over would first see the dense thicket of steel formed by the 25 two-meter-long spears!

“Gah! Gah gah gah! Gah gah!”

But just as the Swadian Light Infantry formed their long spear phalanx, noisy cries and the flapping of wings appeared from the darkness in front of them.

Before Shen Mu could even come out of the stronghold's main house with a torch in hand, the battle began instantly in front of the long spear phalanx.

And it immediately reached a fever pitch!

“Kill!”

“For Swadia!”

The fan-shaped shields that the Swadian Light Infantry thrust forward with their left hands made loud banging sounds.

The heavy impact force transmitted through the shield faces forced the front-row light infantry to grit their teeth and brace forward, barely managing to block the swift and powerful blows from the dark shadows charging out of the darkness and gray mist in front of them.

As for the long spears in their right hands, they only knew to mechanically thrust them forward, regardless of whether they hit the target or not, and then retract their arms.

Then, borrowing the rhythm of their comrades' spears thrusting forward over their necks and heads.

Their arms would gather strength again.

And then, when their comrade's spear was retracted, their own spear would thrust forward.

One after another.

Unceasingly!

Just like stubborn reefs standing here, the formation remained unmoving.

Just like waves rolling in, the spears thrust forward one after another, ceaselessly and continuously.

Turning those little devils, whether charging, smashing, or flying out of the darkness.

Directly into sieves riddled with bloody holes!

‘Whoosh!’

The torch in Shen Mu's hand pointed forward.

As the torchlight flickered.

Dozens of meters away, the countless little devils crowding the corridor, with their dark red bodies, appeared before everyone's eyes.

Furthermore, in front of the long spear phalanx, twenty or thirty little devils that had already been poked into sieves on the spot, fell headfirst in front of the Swadian Light Infantry's boots, emitting a nauseating stench of sulfur, and streams of viscous dark red blood flowed out onto the marble corridor floor.

Obviously, the battle that erupted in an instant and immediately reached a fever pitch was caused by these little devils.

As the smell of blood permeated the air.

Even the eyes of the many more little devils behind, revealed a chaotic, crazed, bloodthirsty, and cruel glint.

But facing the slaughter of their own kind, the little devils, possessing a certain level of intelligence, were now terrified.

Low-tier demons are not low-tier undead; they don't lack any intelligence, and aren't driven by hatred for the living and a desire for flesh and blood to fight single-mindedly.

Low-tier demons understand what anger and violence are.

And they know what fear is!

It was just that these little devils, after leaving the darkness, directly ran into the long spear phalanx and suffered heavy losses, so they were frightened and dared not continue attacking.

But that didn't mean that Shen Mu's soldiers, who were already prepared for battle, were willing to let these little devils go!

“Loose arrows!”

From inside the stronghold's main house, the mercenary sentry's shout came.

‘Swish, swish, swish, swish!’

Then, arrows instantly flew over the heads of the Swadian Light Infantry, accurately shooting into the midst of those little devils.

Causing seven or eight of the little devils who were still cowering and dared not continue forward, instead crowding together in the front row, to fall to the ground on the spot, and two or three of the unluckiest little devils were pierced in the chest or face by the arrows and fell to the ground twitching, without a sound!

“Gah gah gah! Gah!” This further aroused the anger and fear of those little devils, as well as even greater chaos.

In the Abyss, little devils are not particularly powerful demonic creatures in themselves.

Or rather.

As the lowest-tier little devils, their role is primarily to scout and harass the enemy.

They cannot be used as the main force of demons at all.

Generally, when starting a war with the Order faction, the greatest result is to disperse and harass or plunder areas without strong garrisons.

Otherwise, it is only when the main force of the demon army defeats the main force of the enemy faction, leaving behind some old, weak, sick, and disabled, that these little devils will be gathered to sweep up the defeated, leaving only scattered small-scale enemies, doing this kind of tactical task that has no nutritional value.

Like now, rushing head-on into the long spear phalanx, especially in such a narrow space, where there is not enough room to maneuver.

That is purely courting death!

These little devils, who are inherently cunning and like to attack or flee based on the battlefield situation, were not continuing to attack at this time.

Especially the little devils in the very front row, who were being pushed by the little devils behind, getting closer and closer to the long spear phalanx, closer and closer to those sharp spearheads, were even more chaotic, flapping their wings and trying to burrow into the demon队伍 further behind.

This caused the little devils' formation to become even more chaotic, more crowded, and it also gave those Lake Rat Gang newcomers on the tower who had been aiming and preparing…

A better shooting opportunity!

‘Bang!’

On the top floor of the second floor, a muffled sound of something vibrating the air appeared.

‘Swish!’

A black shadow shot out directly from the top floor.

Like lightning, it directly tore through the obstruction of space, and in the blink of an eye, it came to the area with the most little devils entangled, crowded, and shoving.

‘Bang!’ Then it really seemed as if lightning shattered everything obstructing it in front.

Whether it was the demon's body.

Or the demon's wings.

Or the demon's hands or feet.

As long as they were hit and grazed by that black shadow, they would all explode on the spot, and then scatter and splash in the direction the shadow grazed!

So that when the black shadow finally stopped, a 1-meter-long javelin was seen, and at this time, it was still wearing 3 little devils, struggling and wailing painfully on the javelin, as miserable as candied haws!

And in the path that the javelin had swept through, even more, mainly in a straight line, seven or eight little devils were lying on the ground in a jumble.

All with broken arms and legs, or pierced through their bodies.

Only the lucky little devils injured the membrane like bat wings, tearing the entire wing like a rag, but accidentally only lost the ability to assist in flight, and did not hurt the vital parts to survive.

But at this time, they were all terrified and crawling around, making painful wails from their mouths full of fangs.

Of course, these wails were only affecting the mentality of those little devils of the same kind around them.

For Shen Mu and his soldiers.

The enemy's wails are the most pleasant movement that can be heard on the battlefield!

Now, on the battlefield of life and death, facing such a wonderful movement, how could they stop the action of continuing to kill!?

‘Swish, swish, swish, swish!’

The sound of breaking through the air appeared again.

Inside the stronghold's main house, the arrows shot by the 10 mercenary crossbowmen, after forcefully recocking the light crossbows in a few short breaths, passed through the shooting port, over the heads of the Swadian Light Infantry in front, and descended again in front of those little devils.

Blood splattered!

Another seven or eight little devils fluttered their wings and fell to the ground.

“Gah gah gah!”

Making those little devils even more chaotic!

‘Ka ka ka ka ka ka ka…’

But on the roof of the main house, the Lake Rat Gang newcomer responsible for operating the ballista was still forcefully turning the winch.

Using the winch to tighten the heavy crossbow string and crossbow arms.

The rules from the most basic physics are carrying out terrifying energy storage, the two-finger-thick crossbow string and the three-finger-thick crossbow arms are making subtle sounds.

This shows that the power is accumulating more and more, stronger and stronger, and more and more wants to turn into kinetic energy and destructive power to vent out!

Then a 1-meter-long javelin was inserted into the firing slot.

The spear tip was aimed again at the outside of the building below, inside the narrow corridor within the 10-meter-long opening in the roof of the building, at the dense, chaotic little devils!

‘Bang!’ Another muffled sound appeared that stirred the air.

‘Swish!’

The javelin flashed past.

More little devils had their bodies directly pierced, and more little devils were directly torn apart into broken limbs by the javelin!

Even in the narrow corridor where the little devils were cowering and dared not move forward, crowding together, a line of death was forcibly killed out, with a depth of more than four meters!

“This really is…” Even Shen Mu at this time, looking at the long line that was directly shot to death by the javelin with one blow, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Narrow space, close-range, extremely destructive ballista.

Enemies without armor or shields.

“Perfect!” Shen Mu was extremely happy!

“Roar——!!!”

As if sensing that Shen Mu and their morale were rapidly rising, those little devils who were cowering and starting to avoid battle dared not move forward.

A roar came from behind those little devils blocking the corridor, echoing through the narrow corridor, shaking Shen Mu and their eardrums slightly.

At the same time, behind the little devils blocking the corridor, a stream of dark red firelight began to spread.

‘Bang!’

Then a terrifying figure, almost touching the corridor ceiling and the walls on the left and right, crashed open those little devils who were crowded together blocking the corridor.

The thick legs even directly trampled the little devils who could not dodge underfoot, the weight of nearly a ton instantly turning the little devils into minced meat.

Then, with that angry heavy panting, it roared and charged towards those Swadian Light Infantry blocking the front!

It was as if, a…

Tank had suddenly appeared in the corridor!
