A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

"For the Kingdom of Swadia!"

"Kill!"

The spear phalanx had already been mostly broken. The front two ranks of these Swadian infantrymen had now switched to using spiked maces or hand-and-a-half swords.

Only the last two ranks of Swadian infantrymen had not yet fully engaged with those creatures from the spirit realm.

Relying on the resistance of their comrades in front, they could still raise their spears, stabbing and thrusting forward with all their might, cooperating with the comrades in the front rank using spiked maces or the second rank using hand-and-a-half swords, continuing to reap the lives of those spirit realm creatures!

In front of these Swadian infantrymen, the ground was already covered with layers of corpses.

The positions where these Swadian infantrymen had originally stood were also forced to retreat step by step due to the impact of the spirit realm creatures, getting closer and closer to the castle gate.

The battle was already extremely fierce.

Moreover, those gnolls, wild goblins, earth goblins, or green-skinned orcs, wasteland lizardmen, etc., who had completely fallen into madness and were increasingly frenzied by the scent of blood, charged forward without fear of death.

This really put too much pressure on these Swadian infantrymen!

The formation had begun to twist and deform.

Obviously, under the impact of these spirit realm creatures in a state of madness, the already difficult-to-maintain formation was beginning to falter!

"Lord Shen Mu, please order us crossbowmen to join the battle and use the ballista!"

On the balcony, the 10 mercenary crossbowmen were now holding their crossbows, looking anxious.

Including a Lake Rat Gang recruit who quickly ran up the spiral staircase inside the tower, panting heavily, but still urgently requesting:

"Lord Shen Mu, the Swadian infantry are about to collapse! We members of the Lake Rat Gang request your permission to use javelins to help them resist the enemy's charge!"

"Alright, return to your posts, I have arrangements." Shen Mu directly rejected their proposal.

Slowly raising his head, he looked towards the front line where the battle was most intense.

And among those crazed spirit realm creatures, the Blue Star humans, with a faint glow all over their bodies, had already reached the front row, wielding scimitars or flails, their teeth clenched tightly in their pursed lips.

Shen Mu knew that now was not the best time to lure the enemy in deep.

Because behind them.

Those pig-headed men who had suffered heavy losses at the beginning of the battle and then retreated had not yet rejoined the fight.

Including those Diesel Corporation employees who had turned into elite pig-headed chieftains.

Were still waiting behind for the spear phalanx to be broken.

"Still need to wait."

Shen Mu once again slowly clenched his teeth.

Only below, on the brutal front line, even the heavy chain armor worn by the Swadian infantry was now being hacked to pieces by the waving scimitars.

Moreover, as a Swadian infantryman swung his spiked mace, smashing open the head of a wild goblin that had squeezed in front of him, he was hit in the head by another wild goblin's flail because he couldn't dodge in time, staggered a few times, and then collapsed softly to the ground.

The Swadian infantrymen did wear kettle helmets on their heads, armor made of iron plates and cotton.

But for blunt strikes, especially the flail, a heavy strike that relies on force.

Still didn't provide much protection.

When it was time to fall.

They could only fall tragically!

This was not an isolated case.

On this front line, which was like a meat grinder, Swadian infantrymen were falling one after another.

Either their chainmail was shattered, or they were hit in a vital spot because they couldn't dodge, or they killed a few spirit realm creatures with their spiked maces or hand-and-a-half swords, but were then charged by the still bloodthirsty and insane creatures behind them, who were determined to die together with them.

After all, on this 10-meter-wide central corridor, there were initially only 45 Swadian infantrymen.

Barely enough to form a four-row line.

When the spear phalanx was broken.

And they fell into face-to-face, chest-to-chest close combat.

They were able to fight with these crazed spirit realm creatures, thanks to the excellent armor and weapons issued by the Kingdom of Swadia, which could ignore most of the slashing or grazing attacks.

And those spirit realm creatures were at most equipped with leather armor, and most of them didn't wear armor at all, only wearing rough linen rags to cover their bodies, completely lightly armored or unarmored, which happened to be countered by the sharp and excellent weapons in the hands of the Swadian infantry, which is why they had lasted until now!

"Kill! For Swadia!" At the same time, these Swadian infantrymen also had the courage that surged from their chests to protect Swadia's stronghold!

They were willing to die generously for Swadia, for Lord Shen Mu!

Moreover, in the process of their fighting.

They had already retreated to the very back.

They were less than 10 meters away from the castle hall.

If they didn't fight desperately and use their lives to block the enemy, it would mean that their castle was about to be breached.

This was a scene that any Mount \u0026 Blade soldier who had risen from the chaotic fighting to the present didn't want to see.

Being occupied by the enemy was a shameful defeat!

'Swish swish swish swish—'

On the balcony, the mercenary sentries raised their light crossbows again, and once again carried out a round of arrow rain coverage.

Then, without even looking, they bent down again, strenuously pulled open the crossbow string of the light crossbow in their hands, pulled out crossbow bolts from the quiver behind their waists, and stuck them in the firing groove, completing this step in just twenty seconds.

Raising the light crossbow in their hands again, with a slight tremor of clicking, crossbow bolts were shot out again.

Causing those spirit realm creatures who had squeezed the Swadian infantry to the gate of the castle to burst out blood flowers all over their bodies, and let out painful and angry howls.

Only, in this howling, there was also a bit of fear because of the pain!

Even those spirit realm creatures who had originally fought all the way, and finally stepped on the corpses of their own kind to fight, including the remaining dozen outsourced contract workers, at this time dragged their scarred, heavily wounded and bloodied bodies, and somewhat reacted.

"How… could this be…" The eyes of these contract workers suddenly cleared up.

The bloodthirsty killing emotions that had originally filled their minds also quickly cleared up because of the pain all over their bodies: "How did my followers die so quickly… How could I be so stupid as to lead the team to charge directly…"

These contract workers at this time stopped the steps they still wanted to continue charging, their faces full of disbelief.

At the same time, they greeted their few remaining, or already exhausted, spirit realm followers, and were forced to retreat backward in fear, not daring to continue to attack those elite human spearmen who had been squeezed to the gate position and looked like they were at the end of their ropes!

"Sure enough, they've sobered up!" Zhang Caidong was hiding in the very back at this time.

At this time, he still had a crossbow bolt stuck in his shoulder.

Blood had stained his leather armor red.

But now, Zhang Caidong was looking at the elite human soldiers in front of the human castle, who were still gritting their teeth, their faces covered in blood, and fighting to the death, his heart was trembling, and his legs were shaking!

"The formal employees of Diesel Corporation's magic! This must be their doing!"

What Zhang Caidong thought of at this time was also what those outsourced contract workers thought of.

Otherwise, even if these contract workers usually received some welfare benefits from Diesel Corporation, how could they be so crazy on such a fierce battlefield, regardless of life and death, or even regardless of their own life and death and the life and death of their followers, and desperately attack the enemy!?

These were all enemies of Diesel Corporation.

Not their enemies!

Why risk their lives?

Even the formal employees of his Diesel Corporation were not risking their lives, how could these contract workers, who usually had very poor welfare benefits and wages, be so desperate, weren't they stupid!?

Thinking of this, these contract workers who had come back to their senses turned their heads and left, because their losses were too great!

"It's our turn."

Wu Hu calmly watched these contract workers retreat, his fat pig face showing a satisfied expression.

The most difficult fighting stage had already been passed by these contract workers with their lives.

Next.

It was time for his formal employees to completely defeat those human infantry who were obviously at the end of their ropes and could no longer persist, rush into the castle, kill the lord, and seize the core of the territory!

"Hmph!" Thinking of this, the smug smile on Wu Hu's face grew stronger and stronger.

And his left hand stretched out again.

'Buzz!'

A blood-colored light ball was rapidly forming.

"Group Bloodlust!" Then Wu Hu clenched his entire paw into a fist, directly scattering all the blood-colored light balls, covering the area around him for about 30 meters.

Enveloping all the pig-headed followers, including those formal employees, within it!

Causing a trace of even more insane killing intent to appear in the eyes of these pig-headed men.

Especially in the thick bloody smell that filled the entire corridor, they let out a huge roar: "Roar—Now! Everyone! Kill!!!"

Wu Hu raised the flail hammer in his hand, and with one hammer directly smashed the head of an outsourced contract worker who had fled back, his face full of anger and accusations.

Then, leading all the pig-headed men around him, they began to charge forward in an orderly manner!

Orcs were originally a group of races in the spirit realm that were closer to beasts and had extremely strong bestiality.

Even more barbaric than the green-skinned orcs who still possessed civilization.

As long as they were affected by Bloodlust.

Then, as the pig-headed men who liked to charge straight ahead the most among the orcs, now in their minds, there was only rushing forward, smashing the heads of any roadblocks with the flail hammer in their hands, and then completely killing their determined targets!

When these 200 or so pig-headed men launched a charge, the entire corridor was filled with deafening roars.

But at this time, Shen Mu, who was on the balcony, slightly raised the corners of his mouth: "Finally here."

He had been waiting for these pig-headed men to attack.

Showing weakness to the enemy for so long.

Was for.

Now!

"Ballista ready, crossbowmen ready, Lake Rat Gang members ready."

A smile appeared on the corner of Shen Mu's mouth.

Stretching out his right hand with the Low-Tier Supply Ring, his mind, at this moment, instantly communicated with the system: "Full supply for everyone!"

His tone paused slightly, and he loudly ordered: "Everyone, free fire!"

'Whoosh whoosh whoosh—'

Behind Shen Mu, a refreshing breeze began to appear again.

Fluttering across the entire corridor.

And also carrying that refreshing feeling and the slightly malty taste across the cheeks of all the soldiers belonging to Shen Mu!

Morale, once again improved!

Then…

It was Shen Mu's troops, the full-strength firepower poured out!
