A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

This "bandit gathering place" can directly recruit strong bandit-type troops of about 1.5 tiers.

Then, through the "Lake Rat Gang Training Camp", they can be transformed into level 2.8, which, in a sense, makes their combat power comparable to that of third-tier troops, like the Lake Rat Gang rookies.

It really means that Shen Mu now has the ability to recruit a continuous stream of Lake Rat Gang series troops!

"It's really perfect," Shen Mu said sincerely.

He is quite comfortable using the Lake Rat Gang series of troops.

It can be said.

That currently, the Swadian cavalry system has not yet been established.

Most of the main damage to the enemy still relies on these Lake Rat Gang series troops who can throw javelins and use battle axes.

"Deploy the bandit gathering place!" Shen Mu thought, and once again entered the third-person perspective.

'Buzz!' The data stream surged out again.

Just outside the main building of the castle, on the west side of the village, in the corner of the military camp area planned by Shen Mu, a building appeared.

This building does not look eye-catching, it is in the standard Swadian Kingdom style, built with stones and wood, similar to the longhouses where ordinary people live.

And it looks no different from the 30 Swadian longhouses that had already been deployed and arranged neatly.

But in the details, it can still be seen that this slightly older longhouse always has the curtains drawn.

Therefore, even if you look inside from the outside, you can't really see what's inside.

It looks mysterious.

It does fit the appearance of a bandit gathering place hidden inside a town settlement.

Shen Mu in the third-person perspective state was quite satisfied.

So he moved his thoughts and communicated with the system again: "Deploy the mill and 5 bakeries on the edge of the residential area."

'Buzz!'

The rules of Mount \u0026 Blade descended again.

Along with countless data streams beginning to entangle, in the southwest corner of the village, at the edge of the central residential area and the western trade area.

5 bakeries composed entirely of ovens and cutting boards, and 1 windmill, seven or eight meters high, with a mill at the bottom and a large windmill composed of four long fans on top, were materialized by the Mount \u0026 Blade system.

'Whoosh——'

At this time, a breeze from the Suno Plain just swept across Dherim, this newly established village.

While everyone who was still busy was refreshed.

The huge windmill on the newly materialized windmill also slowly turned with the breeze.

Driving the primitive levers and gears inside, turning the heavy millstone, making a 'creak creak' sound, ready to put the shelled wheat inside and grind it into flour.

"It seems that my village will have fresh white bread to eat in the future."

Shen Mu's mouth curled up slightly.

He also found it a little difficult to swallow just eating those rough baked black breads, which were completely considered for their long shelf life.

Although Shen Mu knew, and felt, that after eating these foods from the Mount \u0026 Blade world, he felt refreshed and his physical strength recovered quickly.

But this hard after baking, the taste is also sour, even if soaked in wheat porridge for half an hour can not be soaked open, chewing the cheeks are sore black bread, really let Shen Mu feel wronged for his stomach.

Moreover, not only Shen Mu himself, but even all the soldiers and civilians of Dherim.

In the future, you can avoid eating those specially made reserve grains!

[Ding! 30 Vaegir archers from the Kingdom of Vaegirs, because they were defeated by the Nord Kingdom's troops in the "Wercheg" siege battle, fled the battlefield out of fear, losing their honor. However, after becoming deserters, they heard about you and brought 2 light ballistae dismantled from the tower, as well as 10 cows who are breastfeeding that they encountered on the road, intending to come and join you and regain their honor in another world.]

While Shen Mu was still delighted, a new dialog box popped up on his retina.

Looking at the content above, Shen Mu raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly: "It seems that my other rewards have also arrived."

These are all rewards from the silver lottery and treasure chest.

Regardless of the 30 Vaegir archers who were deserters, or the 2 light ballistae brought by these archers mentioned in the content.

As well as the 10 breastfeeding cows who were stranded in the wild due to the war.

They all came together in a very coincidental way through the Mount \u0026 Blade system.

Then they were all sent to Shen Mu.

"Here they are." Shen Mu's thoughts moved slightly, and he got up and came to the inside of the narrow window in the castle hall to look out.

At this time, the sky had already darkened, and on the horizon outside the window, only a little dim sunset was still struggling to release its unwilling light.

It seems to symbolize that the rules of Blue Star do not want to succumb to the coming necromantic rules so tragically.

However, just in my ears, faintly.

There seem to be a few mooing sounds of cows, accompanied by shouts, coming from outside the window.

And just outside the east gate, Bandak was standing there, commanding all the soldiers returning from the underground garage to come in in an orderly manner.

And Shen Mu also saw, across hundreds of meters, among those returning soldiers, the 10 cows.

And, 30 new faces.

Those are 30 people wearing Vaegir felt helmets, wearing animal skin sleeve clothes, with quivers and nomadic scimitars hanging around their waists, carrying a nomadic bow and a two-handed axe on their backs, each with a full face of beard, a sturdy appearance from the cold deep mountains and old forests.

And when looking at the surrounding Swadian soldiers or Lake Rat Gang members.

Their eyes also carried a bit of arrogance.

Although they did not take the initiative to provoke.

But when facing those gazes that were looking at them, each of them also fearlessly looked back.

Showing their valiant aura to the fullest.

"Fourth-tier Vaegir archers." Of course, Shen Mu knew the details of these new faces.

The smile on the corner of his mouth did not fade.

As the fourth-tier ranged archers of the Kingdom of Vaegirs, and also archers specializing in archery.

These are really the fourth-tier ranged archers who have been carefully selected and promoted from the Vaegirs who live by hunting on the Vaegir snowfields.

They have a fast rate of fire.

Accurate shooting accuracy.

The ability to volley fire in groups to cover with arrow rain, and a series of other advantages.

If these fourth-tier Vaegir archers are upgraded one more level.

That would be the fifth-tier Vaegir sharpshooter.

On the continent of Calradia in the Mount \u0026 Blade Warband world, the only two top archers.

One is the Rhodok sharpshooter of the crossbowman series.

He is the Vaegir sharpshooter.

Is the undisputed number one in the archer series!

Even if what is appearing in front of Shen Mu now are just some fourth-tier Vaegir archers.

But you must understand that as the fourth-tier archers of the Kingdom of Vaegirs, which is famous in the Mount \u0026 Blade Warband world for its archers, from proficiency to shooting skills to shooting experience.

They are all top-notch!

Soon, under the leadership of Bandak, these 30 Vaegir archers also came to the castle hall.

They all stood in a row, respectfully saluting with their hands on their chests: "Greetings, Lord Shen Mu."

Their attitude was extremely humble.

"Well, hello." Shen Mu nodded in response.

Looking at these Vaegir archers, who even just now outside the castle still had a bit of arrogance, but after coming in were so humble and their faces were still uneasy, Shen Mu understood why they were afraid.

So he opened his mouth to comfort them:

"This is another world far away from the continent of Calradia. There is no need to say more about the past. But here, I hope you will use your bows and axes to prove your courage and honor."

"Thank you, Lord Shen Mu, for your recognition. We will do our best!" These Vaegir archers bowed again.

Only this time, their voices carried a hint of gratitude and determination.

"Yes, very good." Shen Mu nodded with satisfaction.

"Lord Shen Mu, these Vaegir archers also brought two light ballistae. With these, we now have four light ballistae."

Bandak then suggested, "If possible, I would like to set up these ballistae on both sides of the city gate to attack any enemies who might attack the gate."

"Then do as you say." Shen Mu always trusted Bandak's work: "Also, these 30 Vaegir archers should be incorporated into the ranged shooter ranks, and you will personally command and arrange their work, Bandak."

"Thank you for your trust, I will do all this well." Bandak bowed with a hand on his chest, expressing his gratitude.

After a brief chat about city defense, Bandak left with the Vaegir archers.

Now, the entire village of Dhirim has 50 mercenary crossbowmen who can shoot accurately and have excellent armor-piercing capabilities at close range.

Adding to that, there are 30 Vaegir archers who can fire rapidly, producing wave after wave of continuous arrow rain.

It can be said that in terms of ranged firepower output,

There has been a qualitative improvement!

Of course, the selection of people for patrolling and guarding the city walls requires a combination of crossbowmen and archers.

Bandak is very good at arranging this kind of work.

"Then next, it's time to deal with the troop upgrade options."

Shen Mu's mind communicated with the system.

Immediately, a new dialog box began to flash on the retina in front of him, displaying new content.

[You have soldiers that can be upgraded!]

[① Villagers × 78, can be upgraded to 'Swadian Recruits (5 denars each)'] 390

[② Robbers × 30, can be upgraded to 'Forest Bandits (20 denars each) / Lake Rat Gang Newcomers (20 denars each and requires Lake Rat Gang training camp)'] 600

[③ Swadian Militia × 30, can be upgraded to 'Swadian Light Infantry (50 denars each)'] 1500

[The total cost for upgrading all of the above is 2490 denars.]

[Upgrade all? Yes/No]

"Confirm upgrade all."

Looking at the content in the dialog box, Shen Mu didn't hesitate at all and made a decision immediately.

'Buzz!'

The mysterious and powerful Mount \u0026 Blade rules once again surged out from between Shen Mu's eyebrows, carrying streams of data.

In a flash, it swept across the castle hall and towards those Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers who were returning and going back to their posts, those who had gained the experience points needed for promotion after the battle.

Those Swadian militiamen, or villagers, began to advance in place.

However, those robbers, at this time, seemed to be guided by the white light formed by the data stream, and all ran to the Lake Rat Gang's training camp.

As the data stream completely enveloped them, 30 Lake Rat Gang newcomers wearing leather jackets, holding small hand axes and old kite shields, with two sets of eight fish darts each on their backs, appeared in the Lake Rat Gang training camp, shaking their necks and shoulders, each with a smug grin on their faces.

Including the 30 Swadian light infantry not far away, who were all equipped with chain mail, their weapons completely upgraded.

And those who had picked up old, worn-out equipment from the warehouse, but with spears, pickaxes, and old wooden shields all complete, after receiving military training and cultivation, could barely hold up their shields to resist low-quality enemies.

At this time, the look in their eyes revealed excitement and eagerness to make contributions!

"It seems that the underground garage's upgrade method is not bad. Clearing a two-story garage once can allow about 80 villagers to complete an upgrade."

Shen Mu nodded, estimating the time.

If you count tonight, going out to continue clearing the underground garage, which has reappeared due to the darkness and gray fog, and thus re-emerged with undead monsters.

Then in a little more than two days and two nights, all 400 villagers can complete the upgrade.

"That's not bad." Shen Mu pursed his lips.

Through the small window.

Shen Mu looked up at the distance, where some scattered lights appeared on the buildings in the other blocks of the Balihe Street.

Those were bonfires lit by ordinary people living scattered, in order to resist the darkness and gray fog that was about to fall.

Shen Mu narrowed his eyes, taking advantage of the fact that the darkness and gray fog had not yet descended, carefully examining them.

"The number has decreased a lot." Shen Mu saw that those windows, which used to have dozens of lights in each residential building or community,

Now it has been sharply reduced to very few.

Thinking of the predecessor's remaining memories, and the hint that Zhang Song of the Green Leaf Group gave himself.

Shen Mu also had a guess in his mind: "Because the Black Tide is about to come, in order to resist the seemingly endless attacks of the undead monsters during the Black Tide, a large number of Blue Star humans need to live within the territory, forming a special rule with the dual protection of Blue Star rules and Spirit Realm rules, in order to suppress the increasingly powerful undead rules."

Shen Mu's predecessor had also gone to the orc tribe of the Diesel Company to receive protection in this territory.

He just couldn't stand the Diesel Company's barbarity, and finally became a lone ranger on his own.

When encountering the Black Tide.

He would collect supplies for two weeks and hide in a small corner, secretly lurking.

As long as he wasn't discovered by those undead monsters, he could actually survive for a long time.

After all, when the Black Tide descends, those undead monsters will be attracted by various territories under the influence of Blue Star rules and Spirit Realm rules, and will actively launch attacks.

In this way, it will instead give some ordinary people a chance to hide in the dark, like under the lamp.

"And if I remember correctly, nowadays, the work of most ordinary people... seems to be to go to these territories, usually pray, and then receive a portion of food as wages."

Shen Mu's predecessor had not prayed many times.

He was also very annoyed by the various tedious rituals, such as kneeling on a futon with his eyes closed and begging for protection.

So he had never been there.

Thinking about it now.

Perhaps this kind of sincere prayer from ordinary people is also greatly related to the lord level.

"Tsk." Shen Mu raised his head at this time, looking at the last bit of sunset remaining, and there was also a bit of a ridiculous feeling on his face: "It is also necessary to make ordinary people pray sincerely, and not to force them."

Thinking of this, Shen Mu really couldn't help but shake his head: "These rules about the Spirit Realm are really troublesome enough."

Where can it compare to my simple and easy-to-use Mount \u0026 Blade system and the extended Mount \u0026 Blade rules?!

'Whoosh!'

At this moment, as the last sunset disappeared, the entire Blue Star world suddenly turned upside down.

Light completely disappeared, and darkness took the stage.

In just half a second.

Gray fog filled the air.

And in the gray fog, undead monsters have once again taken advantage of the night and gray fog to descend here!

For ordinary people, or for Blue Star humans, even for those lords.

Now is the time for a terrifying night.

But for Shen Mu.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Leveling time has arrived."
