A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

Diesel Company.

Orc tribe, the chieftain's tent.

Xue Zhigang, with his extremely obese body, weighing nearly 400 pounds, was deeply sunken into a huge chair.

Right in front of him, on both sides of the tent, stood a dozen or so equally fat and sturdy subordinates.

Each had a large, fleshy head, noticeably upturned nostrils, and bared teeth, making their distorted faces even uglier. Combined with their dark, black skin, they added a touch of wild boar-like ferocity.

But no one dared to underestimate these ugly-faced, dark, fat fellows who resembled wild boars.

Because they were all the heads of departments in the Diesel Company.

Moreover, they had completed a 50% synchronous resonance with the pig-headed orc species at the soul level and had mastered the "Barbarian Warrior" profession.

However, now, these senior managers of the Diesel Company, professionals who had mastered the spiritual realm inheritance,

were all trembling with fear.

They stood with their heads lowered, silently.

They didn't even dare to utter half a grunt, a habit learned from the pig-headed orcs, from their ugly, upturned noses.

Obviously, they were terrified to the extreme.

Because right above them, the orc chieftain sitting on the chieftain's chair, who had completed 78% synchronous resonance at the soul level and possessed both the LV5 Barbarian Warrior and LV3 Orc Shaman profession inheritances, was silent in anger.

And precisely because of Xue Zhigang's silence, without saying a word, these senior executives, who were usually arrogant and domineering outside the Diesel Company, were so frightened that they didn't dare to make a sound.

It wasn't until after a long silence that Xue Zhigang seemed to suppress the emotions in his heart and slowly opened his mouth:

"Wu Hu is dead, the entire Eighth Convoy was wiped out... and the Ninth and Tenth outsourced convoys were also completely annihilated."

Xue Zhigang's voice carried a hint of suppression.

Representing that his emotions were extremely suppressed and angry: "Tell me, why is this?"

"..." Only silence responded to Xue Zhigang.

No one dared to speak.

No one dared to tempt fate at this moment.

Everyone knew that whoever dared to speak nonsense would now face the seemingly calm but extremely angry fire.

Even more likely, they would become the scapegoat!

"A new human lord, leading his troops, directly wiped out our troops in the building corridors, which I really didn't expect."

No one spoke, so Xue Zhigang continued to speak slowly.

Even his voice carried a hint of laughter:

"At that time, I even ridiculed, saying that building a castle in an apartment, as long as the entrance to the apartment is sealed off, and then just find someone to go over, there are more than a dozen ways to get rid of this new human lord... but why did this happen?"

'Bang!'

As he spoke, Xue Zhigang raised his sturdy arm, as thick as a young girl's waist, and slammed it heavily on the armrest of the huge wooden chair.

The sound was muffled.

It was as if a giant hammer was striking.

The senior executives in the entire chieftain's tent were frightened, and they lowered their heads like quails.

This represented fear.

It also represented submission.

"Twelve official employees died, nearly 150 pig-headed orcs, plus 25 excellent outsourced employees, and nearly 300 spiritual creatures under their command. The loss is not small."

Xue Zhigang spoke again.

Looking at these subordinates who were still so apprehensive and extremely wary of him, a hint of satisfaction finally appeared in his eyes, which were squeezed into slits by fat.

He was indeed very angry that some official employees and the spiritual creatures they led had died.

But these were just trifles.

For the Diesel Company, which now had more than 2,000 pig-headed orcs, it was not a big deal.

Xue Zhigang was so angry because he regretted that Wu Hu, one of his confidants who served as the captain of the Eighth Convoy, had been defeated so miserably.

Xue Zhigang, who had personally appointed Wu Hu to handle this matter, felt embarrassed.

It was because Wu Hu had died in battle there.

If he had escaped back.

In order to prevent his prestige from being damaged, Xue Zhigang even had the heart to kill Wu Hu directly and feed him to his elite pig-headed orcs!

But there was no way, he was dead.

Xue Zhigang didn't want to say much.

He was very satisfied that these subordinates still submitted to him and feared him.

His goal had also been achieved.

"That new human lord not only has a systematic army, but also has heavily armored spearmen and heavy cavalry."

Xue Zhigang thought of the guy named Zhang Caidong, who had told him this information.

His expression also changed slightly as he spoke.

To be honest.

When he heard Zhang Caidong say that the new human lord actually had a systematic crossbowmen, light infantry who could throw javelins, and spearmen wearing chainmail, equipped with large shields, and spears, he angrily felt that he was deceiving him.

But when he later said that there were even heavy cavalry, and the cavalry were also wearing chainmail, and the warhorses under their crotches were also wearing chainmail-type armor.

Xue Zhigang knew that the situation was a bit wrong.

No one dared to deceive others like this.

Because this was a situation that could be confirmed by sending someone to investigate secretly.

In addition, Wu Hu and the three convoys were completely annihilated.

A small force of nearly 500 people.

They all died in that apartment building.

In this way, Xue Zhigang had to believe the truth of this matter.

"That new human lord is definitely a troublesome guy."

Xue Zhigang said softly at this time, lowering his voice and solemnly saying:

"When I was communicating with the pig-headed orc shaman, that guy told me that the fluctuations of the undead rules are gradually intensifying. It seems that the Black Tide is a matter of these few days. Therefore, during this period, the Black Tide is the priority."

"We will do our best." Hearing Xue Zhigang change the subject, the senior executives of each department finally responded tremblingly.

"Well, be sure to handle the Black Tide well." Xue Zhigang nodded.

Then, looking at the Minister of Transportation, who was also the captain of the First Convoy, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "That Zhang Caidong is a good person. He knew to come back and report such important information to me. You go through the procedures for him and let him officially join the Diesel Company and become an official employee."

"Understood." The Minister of Transportation immediately took half a step forward, his fat body bending over with difficulty to salute, appearing extremely humble: "General Manager, I will go through the entry procedures after I go back."

"Well, publicize this matter to those outsourced and temporary workers. After the Black Tide passes, we should expand our army."

Xue Zhigang's tone was cold: "Then, the matter of that new human lord, after the Black Tide is over, immediately gather a large army and deal with it as soon as possible!"

This was an order.

"Understood." These senior executives immediately responded in unison, not daring to be the slightest bit negligent.

"Dismissed." Seeing these guys so respectful and humble, Xue Zhigang nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand to signal everyone to leave.

Only after these fat senior executives had left.

Xue Zhigang's face was still faintly gloomy.

"New human lord."

Xue Zhigang subconsciously raised his head and looked at the eastern side of Balihe Street, which was the area outside the suburbs, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes:

"That old pig-headed orc chieftain said that the undead rules are transforming the Blue Star world, and the Longcheng area itself belongs to the sphere of influence of their barbarian race... but why am I now encountering the wood elf villages of the Green Leaf Group, or human castles and armies! ?"

This made Xue Zhigang unable to figure it out.

Even faintly...

A little bit of worry, hidden under the rage, was revealed in the depths of his eyes.

But immediately, this worry turned into a fierce look again.

"Someone come." Xue Zhigang spoke.

"Grunt! Lord Chieftain!"

Then, outside the big tent, two pig-headed orc elites, more than two meters tall, with fat all over their bodies wrapped in muscles, wearing leather armor, and holding flail hammers, walked in.

"Go and call Zhang Bo, the deputy director of the Quality Inspection Department, that prophecy mage over." Xue Zhigang spoke.

"Grunt! Understood!" A pig-headed orc elite responded, turned around, and quickly went to convey the order.

In a short while.

Zhang Song, who was originally still drowsy and half-asleep in the office of the Quality Inspection Department, was rudely awakened by two pig-headed orcs and brought here.

Looking at the General Manager, who was sitting in the dimness of the chieftain's big tent, unable to see his face clearly, but felt extremely fat and huge, gave him a chilling feeling.

"Greetings, General Manager."

Zhang Bo hurriedly greeted him, cold sweat trickling down his face.

"Mm."

Xue Zhigang nodded, his face hidden in the shadows, making it impossible for others to see his expression.

Only his faint voice echoed within the tent: "I instructed you to monitor the concentration of necromantic energy to predict the arrival of the Black Tide.

How is that progressing?"

"Everything is underway!"

Hearing that it was about this matter, Zhang Song immediately reported: "Recent observations with the magic crystal ball indicate that the concentration of necromantic energy is nearing Black Tide levels.

We estimate the Black Tide will appear in no more than three days!"

"Three days? So soon?" Xue Zhigang frowned slightly: "Is that accurate?"

"Accurate."

Zhang Song replied with certainty: "Recently, the necromantic energy seems to have undergone a special emergency change.

Although subtle, it has accelerated the formation of the Black Tide."

"In that case, not bad."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Xue Zhigang's lips, but his eyes grew even more ruthless:

"Then, I need you to use the power of the magic crystal ball to open a rift to the Abyss near that human's new lord's territory.

Can you do that?"

"That… I can indeed do that."

Zhang Song hesitated slightly before replying, a hint of reluctance on his face:

"However, General Manager, if we do that, the magic crystal ball, this unique item, will suffer some damage.

Its ability to monitor energy fluctuations will be temporarily lost.

Even with the spiritual power of those ordinary people, it will take at least half a year to recover…"

Xue Zhigang raised his thick hand, stopping Zhang Song from continuing, and said calmly: "Enough, just do as I asked."

Zhang Song knew that the General Manager had made his decision, and he couldn't argue any further.

"Alas."

He sighed, bowed respectfully, and turned to leave the chieftain's tent.

"Hmph, a castle built inside an apartment, a well-organized army, and heavily armored spearmen and cavalry.

Sounds quite formidable!"

A playful look appeared on Xue Zhigang's face.

He wasn't concerned about the precious unique item or the consequence of the magic crystal ball being unusable for nearly half a year.

Because he knew.

That the gains from doing so would far outweigh the costs!

The seemingly sturdy Blue Star buildings are actually as fragile as tofu dregs when facing the necromantic monsters or abyssal demons within the necromantic energy.

They are not worth mentioning at all.

Even with the Spirit Realm castle, which is quite strong.

Once the true demon army arrives, those cruel, violent demons with true intelligence, the so-called demon commanders with titles.

They could probably collapse the entire apartment by destroying the lower levels.

Then the castle inside the apartment…

Will be reduced to ruins!

"The Spirit Realm mark itself is a precious opportunity, and the lord's mark represents the embodiment of the Spirit Realm rules."

Xue Zhigang leaned back on the chieftain's chair, which was padded with many soft cushions, savoring the comfortable feeling of soul resonance with the pig-men, a cruel look on his face:

"I'm only sacrificing the magic crystal ball's usability for half a year, which can be restored through recharging later.

Then, after the Black Tide ends, I can pluck the peach and obtain that human's new lord's core!"

Thinking of this, Xue Zhigang's face became even more smug:

"Perhaps there will also be a chance to harvest a demon core from an abyssal demon!

Heh heh! Hahahaha!"

The smug laughter echoed in the tent, drawing confused snorts from the elite pig-men outside.

Of course, Xue Zhigang didn't care.

He only cared about his plan proceeding smoothly.

Maybe…

This time, he could truly, easily devour two large pieces of fat meat in one meal!

… …

Of course, Shen Mu was unaware of the diesel company's plan.

But Shen Mu knew what he had gained last night.

After a night of fierce fighting.

Of the troops sent to fight the necromantic monsters near the city walls, another 131 villagers had met the criteria to upgrade to Swadian recruits.

Among them, 10 new Lake Rat Gang members had also qualified to upgrade to experienced Lake Rat Gang thugs.

It could be said that the results were fruitful.

Moreover, there was also the 'Bronze' treasure chest obtained from the post-battle evaluation of the Mount \u0026 Blade system after last night's fierce battle.

He arranged for the Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers who had fought all night and could only take short breaks on the battlefield to rest well first.

Then he directed the remaining villagers to have some of the younger ones operate the windmill to grind the fresh wheat into flour after it was shelled.

He also had some careful villagers draw water from Crescent Spring and start making bread dough.

He also specially added chopped and mashed pumpkin and ripe dates from the dozen or so date palm trees growing on the beach next to Crescent Spring to the bread dough, and sprinkled it with red and white sugar scavenged from Blue Star.

Finally, it was sent to the bakery to start baking.

Once formed.

It was a white bread with a crispy exterior and a soft interior.

Full of the aroma of fresh wheat, mixed with the rich aroma of pumpkin and dates!

Especially the freshly baked bread, which made Shen Mu couldn't help but eat a few more pieces.

Compared to the black bread that was extremely hard after cooling, which had to be opened with a saw because it contained too much bean flour and coarse grain flour, and even unscrupulous merchants added some sawdust for profit and weight, it was simply the difference between heaven and earth!

"This taste is really much stronger than the soulless Blue Star food."

Shen Mu sighed as he ate.

Perhaps it was because he was more deeply involved with the Mount \u0026 Blade rules and the Spirit Realm rules.

Now, Shen Mu found that he was gradually getting rid of the lifestyle habits of his predecessor, or himself, as an ordinary person without any Spirit Realm followers.

The various canned goods and fresh vegetables or meats from Blue Star that he used to eat comfortably.

Now, eating them really felt like eating candles.

Tasteless!

Now, when Shen Mu ate those pumpkins and dates, he could taste the sweetness of the bread.

On the contrary, if he ate Blue Star honey or syrup, although his tongue could taste the sweetness.

But his heart, or rather, his soul, couldn't feel it.

"This situation seems to have started after I obtained the Spirit Realm castle main building."

Shen Mu pondered.

He also reacted and gently stroked his chest, feeling thoughtful: "And after that so-called fragment of the will of nature entered my chest, this situation has become more and more serious."

Now, that is, two days ago, after obtaining that natural magic from the fragment of the will of nature.

The rejection of Blue Star food has become even more serious!

"Perhaps in the future, as I absorb more Spirit Realm rules, I will become more and more unable to accept Blue Star food."

Shen Mu pouted.

No wonder those guys who obtained the pursuit of Spirit Realm creatures and slowly resonated with those Spirit Realm creatures at the soul level slowly began to spontaneously search for and make Spirit Realm food.

For example, the dried mushrooms and dried earthworms cultivated by Liu Na and the halflings.

Basically, they are the common and best-selling currency among these guys outside who have Spirit Realm creatures following them.

Even when the diesel company exploits these guys, they use the rough, hard-to-swallow pig-grass tender leaves and some drought-resistant shrub berries grown by the pig-men.

"It seems that it's all because they can't continue to eat Blue Star food for a long time."

Shen Mu took another bite of the crispy white bread.

As the sweetness filled his mouth.

He smiled and showed a relaxed expression: "But for me, who has Mount \u0026 Blade rules and Mount \u0026 Blade crops, I don't need to think too much."
