A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

The Xiaolong River wasn't far from the apartment.

It was only two blocks away, a normal walk of about 20 minutes.

When I was still alone, I often came here to fetch water, or during my leisure time, or when I was in a bad mood, I would come to the Xiaolong River to watch the water.

"The scenery is indeed beautiful." So, Shen Mu, riding the white steed standard-issued to the Swadian knights, held the reins and stood on the riverbank levee, gazing at the calm river surface, about 50 meters wide, with its gentle flow, and felt a sense of emotion.

Just below the river embankment, there was a platform specially prepared for anglers, which could also be considered a riverside viewing platform.

It was just right for fetching water.

The 30 Swadian recruits had already lined up and walked down, and with the sound of splashing water, bucket after bucket of river water was poured into the containers, quickly filling them to the brim.

However, the river water in the plastic buckets still looked yellowish and turbid, and could not be drunk directly.

This was related to the fact that there were many dirty things inside.

Similarly.

It was also closely related to the fact that after the advent of the undead rules, everything in the Blue Star world was polluted, including the river water.

Ordinary Blue Star people would vomit and have diarrhea after drinking it, and long-term drinking would lead to various diseases, causing a rapid decline in physical fitness, and even various negative effects leading to death.

And the only way to solve this problem was to go home and boil the water with firewood.

Only water that had been boiled by fire could be safely drunk again.

"However, as long as you become a follower of a spirit world creature, or become a professional, you can effectively improve your resistance to the undead rules, and it is no problem to directly drink these fresh waters polluted by the undead rules."

Shen Mu also thought of some information he had heard when his predecessor was still a lone ranger.

He subconsciously turned his head to look beside him.

Ten silent Swadian heavy cavalry, wearing flat-topped helmets, heavy chain armor, and fully equipped with horse armor, were holding lances pointed to the sky, waiting by his side, looking majestic.

This immediately made Shen Mu's mouth show a smile: "Sir, times have changed!" He liked this meme.

Just at this moment, a dialog box suddenly flashed on Shen Mu's retina.

【Ding! The temporary mission system has detected an event!】

【Mission Release: The Enemy's Outpost.】

【Mission Brief: Your castle is built in the floors of the apartment, but this has attracted the attention of malicious bad guys. Now, he has sent his troops to attack your territory. And the enemy's outpost, in order to seize the credit, can't wait to rush to kill you.】

【Mission Requirements: Defeat the enemy's outpost.】

【Mission Rewards: ① Swadian Reputation + 1 point; ② Immigration Wave (small) × 1 wave; ③ Light Ballista × 1.】

It turned out to be another temporary mission from the Mount \u0026 Blade system.

"Enemy, outpost."

Shen Mu frowned slightly, scanned the two key words on the dialog box, and his face became slightly gloomy:

"I knew it, when I was still in the Magic Ball Modifier and didn't come out, I didn't notice the jackals and wild goblin bandits who invaded in time. When I went down, I just defeated them but didn't annihilate them, which was like letting the tiger return to the mountain, leaving hidden dangers."

It seems that now, they are bringing people back for revenge.

And.

It really is the style of the Diesel Company.

Only that notorious Diesel Company, which regards most of the Balihe Street as its sphere of influence, is qualified to form an army.

Shen Mu's predecessor's remaining memories were very clear.

In Balihe Street, except for the wetland forest park that was once preserved at the intersection of the city and the suburbs, where a lord named Green Leaf Group could rely on the complex environment to simply contend with the Diesel Company.

No force can stand in the way of the Diesel Company!

Moreover, because of the Green Leaf Group's lesson, since a year ago, the Diesel Company has been sending people to frantically snatch any spirit world marks that appear in Balihe Street.

This is also the reason why the situation of lone rangers in Balihe Street is extremely bad now, and their strength is not enough to compete with the Diesel Company.

"Since this is the case." Shen Mu turned his head to look at the Swadian recruits who had finished fetching water, helping each other, and carried the water-filled containers back to the river embankment, so he shook the reins and ordered: "Go back and prepare for battle."

"Yes." The Swadian heavy cavalry responded and shook the reins, following Shen Mu's figure.

All returned to the castle in the apartment.

Shen Mu also realized that the zigzag-shaped staircase not only hindered the enemy's attack time, but also indeed reduced the attack ability of his Swadian troops.

Watching these Swadian heavy cavalry needing to dismount and slowly walk while leading their horses when returning to the central corridor on the fifth floor.

This awkward appearance made Shen Mu's face a little ugly.

But there was no way.

The current Shen Mu was still at an absolute disadvantage in terms of the number of personnel and troops he possessed.

If he gave up such a complex defensive environment, once he encountered a large number of enemy attacks, he was afraid that the situation of ants biting an elephant to death would occur.

Moreover, Shen Mu believed that he was not even an elephant now, not even a baby elephant.

"It still needs development." Shen Mu sighed.

In the short time that Shen Mu returned.

Because the news that an enemy was about to attack was conveyed, all the Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers took action.

In the 10-meter-long corridor in front of the castle hall, 45 Swadian infantrymen had completed their formation, all holding up their spears, either horizontally or diagonally, and the dense spearheads immediately formed a spear phalanx, ready for battle.

Inside the castle, in addition to 10 Swadian recruits coming to the stronghold's main house to guard the spiral staircase of the tower.

The remaining 20 Swadian recruits were also assembled in the castle hall, which could be considered a reserve team in case of any accidents, and they would have to fill the gaps in the battle formation at all costs.

But if it really came to that time, it must be that the 10 veteran thugs of the Lake Rat Gang, as well as the 25 new members of the Lake Rat Gang, had all encountered problems and were forced to do so.

These 35 members of the Lake Rat Gang were all checking the javelins on their backs at this time.

The veteran thugs of the Lake Rat Gang were equipped with 10 harpoons.

The new members of the Lake Rat Gang were equipped with 8 fish darts.

The Lake Rat Gang members, who were good at throwing javelins before the charge to damage all the enemies' shields and armor, and even disrupt their formation with javelins, rushed in with woodland axes and small-bladed axes to fight to the death, were far more efficient in attacking than the Swadian infantry, a line-holding unit!

Moreover, at the same time that the ballistas were ready on the castle's tower and balcony, 10 hired crossbowmen led 20 hired sentries and had already occupied various advantageous shooting positions.

Whether it was a war crossbow or a light crossbow, they had already drawn the bowstring and stuck the crossbow bolt into the shooting slot.

Aiming those arrowheads at the entrance of the central corridor, in the direction of the fire door!

"However, this time, I won't let those guys escape easily." Shen Mu turned his head at this time and looked at the Swadian heavy cavalry who were already riding on their warhorses and lined up in two rows in the castle hall, with a smile on his lips.

Riding heavy cavalry from the stairwell was his dream!
