A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

The first to notice the presence of outsiders on the fifth floor were the ten veteran Lake Rat Gang thugs originally stationed at the elevator entrance.

When the violent sounds of kicking down doors occurred, one after another, accompanied by angry and excited roars, these veteran Lake Rat Gang thugs, who came from robber gangs, exchanged glances, reached for the woodland axes at their waists, and prepared for battle.

They noticed the fighting below becoming more intense and spreading up the floors towards their location, and as they were about to report it.

The Swadian infantry and light infantry originally stationed in the stronghold's main building gathered around.

They said they were ordered by Lord Shen Mu to come and assist in the defense, and to see what exactly was happening.

It was this phrase, 'see what was happening,' that ultimately led them to push open the fire door of the stairwell and all enter the sixth floor to make ambush arrangements.

As a result, with a burst of earth-shattering movement.

Whether it was the veteran Lake Rat Gang thugs or the Swadian infantry and light infantry, in a moment of stunned silence or a blink of an eye, they found themselves in a… 10-meter-wide corridor!

Before these people could react, they heard terrified screams and frantic shouts from behind them.

"Run! It's gnolls! And goblins!"

"Protect Miss Liǔ Nà first!"

"Someone must hold back those ferocious gnolls and goblins! Someone must make a sacrifice!"

"You protect Grandpa Pèi Luó! Young men! Come with me!"

"Halflings have warriors too!"

The ten veteran Lake Rat Gang thugs, fifteen Swadian infantry, and thirty Swadian light infantry blinked, turned their heads, and looked in the direction of the sound.

Of course, they also saw the halflings, each about 1.3 meters tall, huddled around a woman in a black robe, running frantically towards the depths of the corridor, but the more they ran, the stiffer their legs became, and they stood frozen in place, as if they had been greatly frightened.

These Lake Rat Gang thugs and Swadian soldiers, of course, recognized those dwarves and the black-robed woman as the halflings and Miss Liǔ Nà from the fifth floor.

The collaborators to whom their Lord Shen Mu had expressed goodwill.

But now, these Lake Rat Gang thugs and Swadian soldiers, their eyes passed over the halflings and Liǔ Nà, and they stared blankly at what was behind them, what appeared between the fifth and sixth floors…

A castle!

Built entirely of huge stone blocks, nine meters high, extending directly from the floor under their feet to the ceiling above, with huge stone towers on both sides, even from nearly a hundred meters away, they could see the jagged battlements and the dense arrow slits in the walls.

Even these soldiers, who came from the chaotic world of Calradia, where they had been fighting like dogs, couldn't help but feel a momentary daze.

Then they gasped, their faces extremely expressive!

"This… is the power of Lord Shen Mu!"

This thought arose in the minds of these Lake Rat Gang thugs and Swadian soldiers.

That's right.

They could see these changes.

And they sensed this transformation, which was like divine power.

After all, whether they were veteran Lake Rat Gang thugs or Swadian infantry and light infantry, they were all living people.

They all had their own thoughts and emotions.

And of course, they all had the deep-seated reverence and respect for Shen Mu, this mysterious and noble figure, whom even kings would treat with courtesy, instilled in their minds by the Mount \u0026 Blade system since birth.

Now, because of Lord Shen Mu, they had crossed the barriers of time and space to come to this different world.

And they had witnessed such a huge change.

Of course, they attributed everything to Lord Shen Mu, who possessed power like a creator god.

Their hearts were filled with unparalleled reverence!

Their hearts were pounding so fast with excitement!

'Bang!'

Just then, the fire door of the stairwell not far behind them was kicked open.

Then, accompanied by a burst of 'jie jie' sneers, a group of gnolls wielding scimitars and goblins wielding battleaxes and maces rushed into the 10-meter-wide corridor, howling excitedly, raising their weapons high.

Then, as they ran, one by one they froze in place, looking at the obviously different decoration style from below, even the howling disappeared.

These gnolls and goblins stared wide-eyed at the fully armed humans in front of them…

They swallowed, a little speechless!

"Stop!"

"Explain your intentions!"

At this time, the ten veteran Lake Rat Gang thugs, who were supposed to be stationed at the stairwell entrance, reacted instantly.

Picking up the woodland axes in their hands, they took two steps forward, their left arms' round shields protecting their chests, staring at the alien races with gnoll heads or short and fierce appearances, and sternly shouted without any fear: "Be honest!"

"Those! Those are robbers! They killed many people! They even killed Gěng Jūn!!!"

Then, from behind, the halflings who were still between the castle and the Swadian soldiers shouted excitedly.

Those halflings, who were inherently kind, pointed at the gnolls and goblins with tears in their eyes and accused loudly:

"These are murderers!!! They are the bad guys who came to rob and slaughter our apartment building!!!"

"Huh?!" At this time, not to mention the ten veteran Lake Rat Gang thugs.

Even the Swadian infantry and light infantry, who hadn't reacted yet, immediately turned around in unison upon hearing these words. They grabbed their 2-meter-long spears, and in an instant, spread out along the 10-meter-long corridor, forming a dense spear formation!

“…Enemies!”

The Swadian infantry and light infantry let out a soft shout in unison, their spears gleaming coldly as they pointed forward.

Even the ten veteran Lake Rat gang thugs at the very front, facing the front line of gnolls and goblin, had a change in expression. They instantly transformed from their previously relaxed state into the ruthless Lake Rat gang thugs who dominated the Great Lakes region!

Seeing the large number of enemies densely packed in the 10-meter-wide corridor.

“Switch to harpoons!”

These more experienced veteran Lake Rat gang thugs put away their woodland axes and immediately reached behind them, pulling out the ten harpoons each of them carried in their backpacks!

A type of throwing weapon that was longer, sturdier, sharper, and had better armor-piercing capabilities than the fish darts equipped by the new Lake Rat gang members!

Its killing power was, of course, even more terrifying!

“Human! Kill!”

At this moment, the gnolls and goblins finally reacted, their eyes turning bloodshot one by one.

Their eyes were full of bloodshot veins.

Their eyes were full of violence and ferocity.

Especially after having just killed so many humans and eaten so much fresh, sweet human flesh, the madness of the gnolls and goblins towards these human soldiers, whom they mistakenly believed to be from the Spirit Realm, quickly manifested.

“Awoo!”

Then, as the gnolls raised their curved blades and the goblins raised their battle axes, they howled and began to charge towards the human soldiers in front of them, who were within easy reach, less than 20 meters away!

Their numbers, a total of 47, with 13 gnolls and 34 goblins, gave them confidence in their numerical advantage!

Moreover, in their memory, even encountering these human regular troops in the wilderness and border regions of the kingdom was difficult and hard to fight. However, when they, as the main force, surged forward.

Aside from those humans on horseback who were relatively strong, the remaining guys who weren't on horseback weren't much stronger than them.

There were even some guys wearing coarse linen and holding spears who would be so frightened that their legs would go weak when they encountered them.

As long as the offensive was strong enough.

It would cause those cowardly humans to collapse on the spot!

“A bunch of weak human militiamen!”

Some gnolls and goblins were already shouting excitedly: “Kill them! We'll have a delicious feast today!”

“A delicious feast!” Hearing this, the gnolls and goblins became even more frenzied with excitement, the bloodshot veins in their eyes becoming even thicker.

Their charging steps were even faster!

Then…

Amidst the skilled throwing motions of the ten veteran Lake Rat gang thugs, the six or seven gnolls at the very front fell headfirst to the ground as the dark shadows appeared!

The slender, barbed harpoons that were thrown directly pierced through the bodies of those six or seven unlucky gnolls.

The sharp prongs stabbed out from their backs.

Before the gnolls who had fallen to the ground could let out a wail.

The ten veteran Lake Rat gang thugs in front of them drew out new harpoons again, without even looking, and aimed at the gnolls and goblins who had already come within a range of 10 meters, looking at their innocent and adorable ferocious faces, and threw another wave of harpoons fiercely!

Throwing harpoons before charging was already the specialty of the veteran Lake Rat gang thugs.

If the enemy didn't change their formation.

Or consider using shields to block, and charge to the front of these Lake Rat gang members for close combat.

Then these Lake Rat gang thugs would be very happy to do as they were doing now.

Pick up the harpoons in their hands.

As if they were fishing in the Great Lakes, they aimed at their targets and threw the harpoons one by one!

If aiming wasn't a consideration, a round of javelin throws would only take seven or eight seconds.

Especially for these veteran Lake Rat gang thugs who were extremely skilled at throwing.

In this short period of less than twenty seconds.

They had already thrown four or five rounds of harpoons.

The gnolls and goblins in front, who were aggressive, crowded together, and had no room to dodge, could only use their bodies to withstand these harpoons. A third of them were already lying on the ground.

Their bodies were pierced by 1-meter-long harpoons, and the torn wounds led to massive bleeding, instantly causing them to go into shock or be seriously injured.

Bringing cries of sorrow and painful howls.

Causing the remaining two-thirds of the gnolls and goblins, who were almost at the veteran Lake Rat gang thugs' front, to hesitate in their steps, their eyes filled with fear.

Because at this time, not only did they see these veteran Lake Rat gang thugs draw out the woodland axes in their hands, intending to engage in melee combat.

They also saw, behind these veteran Lake Rat gang thugs.

Led by 15 Swadian infantrymen, and assisted by 30 Swadian light infantrymen behind them, they raised 45 spears that were more than 2 meters long, passed by the veteran Lake Rat gang thugs, and then lowered their spears, step by step, began to press towards them, a spear formation like a forest!

At this moment, the fire door of the staircase was pushed open.

Zhang Caidong and the Sun brothers walked out.

Looking at the battle in front of them, which had fallen into an absolute disadvantage in just a few minutes, they were dumbfounded!
