A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

However, because of what had just happened, with the 'Mount \u0026 Blade' system crashing, Shen Mu wasn't overly anxious.

He slowly raised his head.

Looking at the sky above, at the enormous, flickering dark red light, which even directly dispelled the all-encompassing darkness, illuminating this entire area into a dark red abyss fissure.

Shen Mu understood that this was perhaps the power of the undead rules, holding absolute dominance in this area.

It wasn't just the spirit realm rules connecting with Blue Star.

Even the 'Mount \u0026 Blade' rules…

Had to temporarily avoid the confrontation!

“It should be because my 'Mount \u0026 Blade' rules are too weak on Blue Star, and haven't been fully manifested yet.”

Shen Mu analyzed.

After all, the power of the 'Mount \u0026 Blade' rules was all within the game package that integrated all the MODs and DLCs.

It hadn't fully materialized on Blue Star.

So, compared to the undead rules.

The 'Mount \u0026 Blade' rules were at a disadvantage. Thinking about it, it was quite reasonable and explainable.

Besides… this was the only way to comfort himself!

“Assemble! Check the arrow consumption! Report immediately!” At this moment, seeing the abyss demons in front already retreating, leaving only corpses on the ground, Bandak breathed a sigh of relief.

He loudly ordered the Swadian militiamen, who had been scattered by the fierce battle just now, to re-form their ranks.

At the same time, he had the hired sentries and Vaegir archers check their crossbow bolt consumption.

Soon, the reports came in.

“Lord, the Swadian militiamen have completely exhausted their crossbow bolts, the hired crossbowmen generally have a few bolts left, and the Vaegir archers' arrows were completely used up midway through the defense.”

After hearing the reports, Bandak summarized briefly and then reported to Shen Mu.

“Mm.” Shen Mu nodded: “I understand. What about casualties?”

“No soldiers were killed in action, only some Swadian militiamen stationed on the south and west walls, about 20 or so, have minor injuries that have been bandaged and will not affect the next battle.”

Bandak continued to report.

This was also what the soldiers below had reported while counting the crossbow bolt consumption.

“Very good.” Shen Mu nodded again.

At the same time, he turned to look at the Swadian sergeants and recruits below, who were still hunting the lesser demons, and ordered in a deep voice:

“Bandak, lead a team of 200 Swadian militiamen down, refill all the crossbow bolts in their quivers. I need you to hunt down all the lesser demons within a short time!”

Bandak also saw that within the village, there were still at least over 400 lesser demons, flapping their bat wings and flying around in panic.

Although the 32 Swadian sergeants and 50 Swadian recruits below had already hunted down many lesser demons.

However, the remaining lesser demons were still very numerous.

Facing those abyss demon troops outside that had retreated but could regroup and attack again at any time, these lesser demons still rampaging and harassing the village were extremely annoying.

Even though these lesser demons' combat power was extremely weak, if Shen Mu's troops were to engage in another fierce battle with those abyss demons outside.

And these lesser demons began to harass and launch suicide attacks from behind.

Then, it would really be dangerous for Shen Mu and his troops.

Indeed, they needed to be hunted down as soon as possible!

“200 Swadian militiamen! Follow me!”

Bandak didn't hesitate, drew his heavy crossbow, looked at the crossbow bolts piled up in the corner of the wall, and waved his hand: “Reload crossbow bolts! Quickly!”

Then, the 200 Swadian militiamen immediately lined up to the stairs, picked up handfuls of crossbow bolts from the pile and stuffed them into their quivers.

These crossbow bolts were all the ones they had shot out before, considered second-hand goods that had been recovered.

It was a kind of bug effect that Shen Mu had exploited through the 'Low-Tier Supply Ring'.

An endless reserve of second-hand crossbow bolts!

After all, as long as the shaft of the crossbow bolt didn't split and the iron arrowhead didn't shatter, it could still be shot out again with the hand crossbow, becoming a deadly force.

Coincidentally, these Swadian militiamen had all exhausted the crossbow bolts in their quivers.

As long as they came to the corner of the wall.

And replenished the tens of thousands of recovered crossbow bolts that were filled up 3 times a day, 24 bolts each time, into their quivers.

Whether it was these Swadian militiamen or the hired crossbowmen, they would all have sufficient crossbow bolts to use!

Thus, within the village of “Dhëreim”.

The hunt continued.

The 32 Swadian sergeants and 50 Swadian recruits retreated to the second line, and the 200 Swadian militiamen, who had replenished their quivers with 24 crossbow bolts each, stepped to the forefront with their hand crossbows.

It was as if a large net had been cast, holding crossbows and hunting down the lesser demons one by one at close range.

Because of the help of the hand crossbow, this ranged weapon, those lesser demons who could originally rely on their bat wings, flapping their short, gnome-like bodies to move and dodge quickly, fell to the ground wailing.

Then, they were quickly run over by the Swadian recruits, who killed them on the spot with their pointed hoes or spears!

In addition, Fatis led the Lake Rat Brotherhood members from the direction of the city wall, pushing all the way across.

The lesser demons didn't even have the means to resist.

They were all slaughtered and their corpses littered the ground.

They didn't dare to jump into the village, like those lesser demons who had jumped in before, and be shot to death on the spot.

They didn't dare to jump out of the range of the city wall, fearing that they would be killed by the cruel and tyrannical Barbed Devil Lord at the Lava Throne, under the pretext of fleeing due to unfavorable war conditions.

They didn't dare to stay on the city wall, becoming the wronged souls under the blades and axes of those humans.

It could be said that they were in a dilemma!

“Follow me!”

Fatis didn't care about the dilemma of these lesser demons at all.

He himself was a valiant warrior, a knight with honor, eager to make contributions, protect the glory of his family, and wash away the stain on his name caused by patricide.

At this time, valiant combat was the best way for him to show himself.

Killing these lesser demons.

Killing these enemies who invaded him.

Was in itself.

A symbol of honor!

What's more, behind Fatis were some Lake Rat Brotherhood members who were originally bandits and robbers.

Facing a group of enemies weaker than themselves, it was simply entering their land of joy.

Whether it was the Lake Rat Brotherhood Destroyer's armor-piercing axe, or the Lake Rat Brotherhood Veteran Thug's woodland axe, or the Lake Rat Brotherhood Newcomer's small bladed axe, facing those snarling, paper tigers, lesser demons who had now been slaughtered and routed.

They rushed up even more, waving the axes in their hands, sending them all to the embrace of the gloomy underworld, to accompany the undead!

“Gah! Gah gah gah!”

The remaining lesser demons screamed in terror.

They could no longer resist Fatis, who was rushing towards them like a fierce tiger on the city wall, and those cruel Lake Rat Brotherhood members.

The remaining two hundred or so lesser demons didn't even dare to jump into the village.

They really flapped their bat wings, turned their heads and jumped out of the city wall, fleeing in terror towards the Lava Throne, no longer daring to stay here and continue to maintain the prestige of that Barbed Devil Lord with their lives.

“Well done, Fatis!” Shen Mu saw Fatis returning at this time, his whole body bathed in dark red blood, his face covered with bloodstains.

“For honor! For Swadia! For your generosity and kindness!”

Fatis wiped the blood on his face, but smeared the bloodstains all over his face, making his handsome face look like it had been painted with a layer of red war paint, with a bit of ferocity.

However, the Lake Rat Brotherhood members were all in this state, covered in the stinky blood of demons.

Including those Swadian militiamen who had hunted down most of the lesser demons in the village and had returned one after another, were also covered in a large amount of dark red demon blood, exuding a stench and the smell of sulfur, but all showed slightly yellow teeth, looking quite excited.

There was nothing more exhilarating than killing the enemy.

These soldiers from the 'Mount \u0026 Blade' world, who originally lived by killing and fighting, now felt joy and pleasure for their victory.

Even if each of them was so tired that they were extremely exhausted, even when they were holding their weapons tightly, they were trembling faintly.

Obviously, they had consumed too much physical strength.

“Yes, take your men down to rest and await orders.” Shen Mu nodded, acknowledging Fatis and the Lake Rat Gang members' efforts in the battle.

“Understood.” Fatis saluted again and led his team away from the city wall.

However, the 200 Swadian militiamen who had returned went back to the city wall, holding their loaded hunting crossbows, returning to their posts.

Behind them, the 50 Swadian recruits arranged by Bandak distributed the reserved secondhand crossbow bolts to the Swadian militiamen and mercenary sentries, preparing for the upcoming battle.

The imp's harassment had been repelled.

However.

The real threat.

Below that huge abyss rift, in front of the lava throne, there were still thousands of terrifying demons of all kinds, forming a force, gathered there.

They were licking their wounds from the previous failed attack, staring fiercely at this side.

Accumulating the desire for the next, more violent and brutal attack!

“Unfortunately, there is no way to replenish the arrows of these 30 Veigar archers through conventional means.”

Shen Mu looked at the empty quivers of those Veigar archers, a hint of regret on his face.

But there was no way around it.

The Veigar archers were archers who had just arrived before the Black Tide descended, and Shen Mu had not had time to use the low-level supply ring spell to recover the cone-headed arrows that had been shot out in time.

Therefore, after using up the twenty or so arrows in their quivers, they were truly exhausted.

There was no way to continue participating in the next battle.

“Lord Shen Mu, although we have no arrows and cannot continue to serve you with our superb archery, the two-handed battle axes in our hands can still fight for you!”

These Veigar archers also saw Shen Mu looking at the empty quivers behind them.

Immediately, they all stepped forward and said very seriously: “The Veigar people with bows and arrows are definitely the best archers on the Calradia continent, but when we raise the two-handed battle axes in our hands, we are also brave warriors born from the icy lands, daring to charge forward!”

“Yes, I know, you are very good.” Shen Mu nodded.

Of course, he knew the bravery of these Veigar people.

After all, in the background of the Mount \u0026 Blade warband, in the culture of the Veigar Kingdom, or rather the Veigar people.

What they admire is head-on melee combat.

Bows and arrows represent determination.

Battle axes represent courage.

Therefore, the favorite weapons of these Veigar soldiers are bows, arrows, and battle axes.

And they extremely despise shields as defensive weapons.

In their concept, if both hands are not using bows, arrows, or battle axes, then they must hold the reins of the warhorse under their crotch.

Only beginners and cowards use shields.

This can be seen from the soldiers recruited from the Veigar Kingdom.

Whether it is infantry or cavalry, they are all arms that need close combat, but from Tier 1 to Tier 5, almost most of them use two-handed battle axes, including Veigar cavalry and knights.

Only a small number of infantry and cavalry, which can be described as a very small number, are equipped with shields and nomadic scimitars.

Usually, in battles, they would swing their long-handled axes or battle axes and rush up for a wave!

To some extent, compared to the proficiency in using two-handed battle axes, these Veigar people are an even stronger race than the Nord people!

Of course, if the Veigar people are not equipped with shields and encounter enemies who also use bows and arrows, and are generally equipped with throwing weapons, then it will be quite interesting.

Shen Mu thought of this and had his own idea, so he arranged:

“You withdraw from the city wall and join the ranks of the Swadian sergeants and Swadian recruits, await orders, and be ready to join the battle at any time.”

“Yes, sir!” These Veigar archers responded and then left the city wall according to Shen Mu's order.

These Veigar archers can be said to be one of Shen Mu's treasures.

They are now the only Tier 4 archers.

They can also be upgraded to Veigar sharpshooters at any time, which is the pre-condition for T0-level archers in the Mount \u0026 Blade warband world.

In the game, the biggest limitation of these archers is the number of arrows.

But in reality.

As long as there are enough arrows, a continuous downpour can be formed.

The arrow rain coverage effect formed on the battlefield is more deterrent than those crossbowmen with stronger armor-piercing ability and killing ability!

However, just after these Veigar archers left the city wall.

Another Swadian recruit walked over quickly.

“Lord Shen Mu.” This Swadian recruit reported: “Halfling Elder Pelo and Miss Liuna said they want to see you.”

As he spoke, the Swadian recruit also pointed to the bottom of the city wall stairs and said: “They are both down there.”

“See me? They're both down there?” Shen Mu turned to look.

Indeed, there were two figures, one tall and one short, at the bottom of the stairs.

It was Halfling Elder Pelo and Liuna, who possessed the LV2 Druid inheritance.

“Lord Shen Mu.” Halfling Elder Pelo and Liuna also saw Shen Mu on the city wall at this time and turned to look at themselves.

Because they ran over from the second floor of the castle hall by themselves.

So, the two of them quickly reached out to caress their chests and bowed respectfully to greet him.

“……” Shen Mu pursed his lips, but he still understood that the forces were tight now, and no one had been sent to look after the halflings.

He just waved to the two of them and said: “Come up and talk.”

The two of them came to the city wall along the stairs.

Their faces were solemn, and they also carried a panic and a little fear that could not be concealed.

On the city wall, 300 Swadian militiamen and 50 mercenary crossbowmen were all closing their eyes and pretending to be asleep against the battlements.

Obviously, the battle just now had consumed a lot of their physical strength.

They needed to rest quickly.

Some militiamen and crossbowmen, hearing the voices of the two people, especially the female voice and the strangely shaped halfling, looked at them with emphasis.

However, for Liuna and Halfling Elder Pelo, the human soldiers who had been on the battlefield for a long time and had just experienced a bloody battle gave them the feeling that they were looking at dead people when they glanced at them with such indifferent eyes.

Liuna and Elder Pelo felt a slight tightening in their hearts and even felt a chill!

“Speak, what do you want to see me for?” Shen Mu didn't want to waste any words with the two of them, after all, the abyss demon army outside could launch an attack at any time.

Speaking directly was also Shen Mu's habit.

“We, we want to see you because of your kindness and help to us…”

Halfling Elder Pelo was still older and more knowledgeable, and he quickly calmed himself down and said seriously: “So, we have a gift that we want to give to Lord Shen Mu to help you get through this difficult time.”

“A gift?” Shen Mu asked suspiciously.

“Give it to Lord Shen Mu.” Elder Pelo nodded to Liuna next to him.

“Oh, it's here.” Liuna's little face suddenly turned red, and she hesitated as if she was a little shy, reaching out to lift her hood, revealing a simple, short-cut hair that looked clean and neat behind her delicate little face.

She also pulled down her neckline, revealing her fair neck and obvious collarbone, as well as her concave and convex figure because of pulling her robe.

“……” Shen Mu couldn't help frowning slightly at this, looked at Liuna's flushed face, and then looked at Elder Pelo.

He didn't understand what the two of them were doing at such a critical juncture.

“Miss Liuna, didn't you take the thing off in advance?” Elder Pelo saw Shen Mu's questioning gaze at this time, and the old face was still a little red even if there was fluff covering it.

Especially when he saw Liuna reaching out and pulling out the rope of the pendant around her neck.

He couldn't help but feel a little melancholy in his heart.

This child, whom he had always regarded as his daughter, really didn't understand anything about human relationships!

“Ah, I forgot, I came down after saying it.” Liuna blushed at this time and took off the pendant from her neck.

Then, she handed it directly to Shen Mu.

Her tone was also a little shy, and she said: “Lord Shen Mu, this contains the power of natural consciousness. It is said that if you can get the approval of natural consciousness, then you can gain the power of nature!”

Shen Mu frowned.

Looking at the ordinary pendant rope handed over by Liuna's pale little hand, a lustrous, emerald green gem passed through it, stuck on a delicate base made of silver.

The heart in his chest faintly beat a little faster.

Then, in Shen Mu's mind, it was as if some special force was urging him to reach out and slowly grasp this lustrous emerald green gem pendant.

‘Buzz!’

A cool sensation immediately began to spread throughout Shen Mu's body from his palm as he held the emerald gem.

It made his heart beat faster.

So much so that, in Shen Mu's eyes, as the cool sensation spread, a faint green light was released!

This caused the halfling elder Poro, as well as Lyanna, who was a Druid and had the deepest and most intimate connection with the will and power of nature, to exclaim subconsciously: "This is... the power of a fragment of the will of nature awakening!"

But for Shen Mu, as this cool sensation spread throughout his body...

‘Buzz!’

It even seemed that this cool power was activating a powerful force that already existed within Shen Mu's body.

A beam of white light shot directly from Shen Mu's brow, sweeping out in all directions with a whoosh, carrying the green light with it!

As a result, an invisible wave began to spread outwards from Shen Mu as its center.

Moreover, during the spreading process,

it stirred up circles of fine blood-colored mist around Shen Mu, and then the white light and emerald light completely dissipated this blood-colored mist!

It only finally came to a stop when it had spread beyond the bounds of the entire village of "Derchrim."

‘Buzz!’

The white light and green light returned to Shen Mu's brow.

Then, a series of dialogue boxes appeared on his retina.

[Beep beep beep… Data repair… Beep!]

[Ding! The temporary mission system has detected an event!]

[Mission issued: The Black Tide Approaches.]

[Mission Brief: In this world of Blue Star, the daytime belongs to the rules of Blue Star and the Spirit Realm, where people can live normally in the sunlight, and everything is so peaceful. But at night, the Necromantic rules that once destroyed the entire fantasy crystal wall system will show their terrifying side, destroying everything!

And whenever the Necromantic rules accumulate enough of their power, even in the daytime, the combined forces of the Blue Star rules and the Spirit Realm rules cannot suppress them, and can only allow the daytime to turn into a terrifying moment when undead monsters run rampant.

Now, that moment has arrived! As the lord who holds the power of the rules, you need to lead your troops and soldiers to resist the invasion of the Abyss Demon Legion led by the Necromantic rules!]

[Mission Objective: Resist the invasion of the Abyss Demon forces! (Staged / Rewards will be given after each stage)]

[Mission Stage Reward ①: You have successfully resisted the first wave of attacks from the Abyss Demon forces, and have received — Specified ranged archer unit reinforcements of 50 men.]

[Mission Stage Reward ②: You have successfully hunted down the harassing attacks of the second wave of Imp forces, and have received — Mid-Tier Battlefield Unlimited Supply Scroll (Centurion).]

[Mission stage in progress, rewards will be awarded according to the stage of the offensive you resist.]

[Beep… Beep beep beep… ]

[Mount \u0026 Blade system successfully connected to the central processor, currently switching between combat / peace scene judgment.]

[You have soldiers that can be upgraded:]

[① Swadian Recruits × 50, can be upgraded to 'Swadian Militiamen (20 denars each)'.]

[Beep… Due to data errors, only this unit type can currently be upgraded, other unit types cannot be upgraded as they are in a combat state.]

[Beep beep beep… You have obtained the "Heart of Nature (Artifact)"!]

[The Mount \u0026 Blade system is analyzing this artifact, the current analysis countdown is: 01 hours 30 minutes 00 seconds.]

The content in the dialogue box quickly appeared before Shen Mu's eyes.

The dialogue box content appeared instantly and clearly the moment he reached out and took the emerald gem that Miss Lyanna had taken from her chest, saying it was a gift for him to resist the Abyss Demons outside!

"System repair? And then the dialogue box content appeared," Shen Mu squinted slightly.

He was certain that the moment the Black Tide suddenly descended,

his Mount \u0026 Blade system

had really crashed!

Shen Mu lowered his head, looking at the emerald gem that he had taken from Lyanna's hand.

"Artifact," Shen Mu murmured softly: "Heart of Nature."

This was the name that appeared on the dialogue box.

"That's right, this gem is called the Heart of Nature, it was bestowed upon me by the will of nature when I obtained the Druidic inheritance mark."

Lyanna pursed her pink lips beside him and introduced: "When I obtained it, there was also a faint voice saying that it represented a fragment of the will of nature, and that I, as a Druid, needed to take good care of it and believe in the power of nature."

"Thank you," Shen Mu looked at the green gem in his palm, which was called the Heart of Nature and was still being analyzed by the Mount \u0026 Blade system, and nodded his thanks seriously.

This was really crucial for him.

Because the current Shen Mu already clearly knew that the strength of the Necromantic rules outside not only suppressed the Blue Star rules and the Spirit Realm rules,

but even the Mount \u0026 Blade rules had been completely suppressed the moment the Black Tide descended.

This was what caused the Mount \u0026 Blade system to crash and be unable to start up normally.

Even if it did start up, it was intermittent.

"Those blood-colored mists."

Shen Mu frowned tightly.

When the white data stream and the emerald-green power of nature spread out from his brow,

he clearly saw that on his body, and around him,

it was as if bugs were being illuminated in the darkness.

Countless blood-colored, dark-red, viscous mists were directly forced out.

Although subtle,

they were definitely real!

"Could it be that these blood-colored mists are the reason why the Mount \u0026 Blade system can't run successfully?"

Shen Mu murmured.

If that was really the reason, then his previous slightly dismissive attitude towards the Necromantic rules...

It seemed that he had really been careless!

"Thank you for your generous gift, this Heart of Nature is really a great help to me."

Shen Mu thanked the two of them again.

"Lord Shen Mu, you can have it if you need it."

Halfling Elder Poro and Lyanna were even more polite at this time.

Especially Lyanna, her beautiful eyes looked at Shen Mu, already filled with the admiration of a star and the fanatical emotions of a star-chaser.

Because she had seen it, and clearly felt it.

The genuine power of the will of nature that surged from Shen Mu's body spread out without reservation.

Even the affinity for nature was even deeper than hers, a Druid!

Therefore, as a Druid who was born close to the will of nature, and who rarely came into contact with outsiders on weekdays, how could Lyanna not develop star-chasing emotions of admiration when such an excellent boy appeared in front of her?

Of course, Shen Mu didn't let the two of them stay here any longer, and after a brief exchange, he persuaded them to return to the second floor of the castle to continue hiding.

Although Lyanna was a professional, and a spellcaster like a Druid,

her level of LV2 didn't have any powerful attack or defense spells.

If she were to face an Abyss Demon with any strength, she would probably be no match for even a Tier 1 unit like the Swadian Recruit.

And those spirit race that were known for their handicrafts and agriculture, ingenuity, and culinary delicacies, the famous Halflings, couldn't even handle demons of the Imp level in terms of combat power.

Therefore, in such a dangerous battlefield, it was better to return to the safe second floor of the castle to hide.

This was all for their safety.

"And, after the Mount \u0026 Blade system recovers, I need to materialize the rewards, and the 50 Swadian Recruits who can be upgraded!"

Shen Mu communicated with the system with his mind: "Upgrade them all!"

‘Buzz!’

The power of the Mount \u0026 Blade rules once again surged from his brow, turning into streams of data that directly came to the Crescent Moon Spring in the center of the village.

At this time, the 50 Swadian Recruits who had just hunted down the remaining Imps had all come here.

They took out wooden buckets and drew clear and cool spring water from the spring.

Each of them quickly scooped it up with their hands and drank it.

They were obviously all thirsty.

‘Buzz!’

And at this moment, the data of the Mount \u0026 Blade rules directly wrapped around them.

In the white light, their thin bodies were growing at this time, and their tattered weapons and equipment were also being replaced.

Even the memories in their minds were being rewritten, from being recruited from the village not long ago, to being thrown into the Swadian Kingdom's training camp, to practicing how to use spears, old kite shields, pickaxes, and how to use crossbows.

Including how to line up, how to cooperate with teammates, how to stab enemies with spears, and so on.

All kinds of skills and real combat experience experienced in the Mount \u0026 Blade world.

When the white light dissipated,

these original Swadian Recruits had officially been upgraded to Swadian Militiamen.

Wearing cotton robes, wielding long spears, and carrying various weapons, their spirits were also becoming more invigorated.

“As expected, they leveled up.” Shen Mu watched this scene clearly from the city wall.

His expression was slightly surprised.

You must know.

According to the normal Mount \u0026 Blade rules, any Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers who are still in the battle scene and in a combat state cannot level up.

“Could it be because the system restart just caught a bug?”

Shen Mu pondered.

But he didn't care too much, after all, he was able to directly upgrade those 50 Swadian recruits into second-tier all-around infantry Swadian militiamen.

For Shen Mu, this meant another 50 reliable combatants joining the ranks of the city's defenders!

Moreover, there were system tasks that didn't appear during the system crash.

In addition to the two stages of mission rewards given after successfully defending against the enemy's attacks twice:

【① Designated ranged shooter unit reinforcement of 50 people (support item). Effect: You can select a type of 'ranged shooter' unit, and then 50 soldiers of the same type will know the current predicament and come to provide support.】

【② Mid-tier battlefield unlimited supply scroll (centurion). Effect: A space-based supply scroll made by the Enfas Empire's mage team. This scroll is connected to a military warehouse dedicated to serving this scroll. After designating a team of one hundred people, whether it's crossbow bolts, arrows, or throwing weapons, they can be supplied continuously within 30 minutes.】

“This…” Shen Mu's gaze swept across the content in the dialogue box, his expression slightly stunned.

He scanned the effect descriptions of these two items again.

Shen Mu gasped:

“Can directly summon 50 identical ranged shooters, and a magic scroll with unlimited ammunition for 30 minutes?!”

He raised his head and looked outside, at the throne that was still faintly burning with flames, as if cast entirely from lava.

Shen Mu subconsciously clenched his fist.

This was too strong!

This reward was almost beyond Shen Mu's expectations!

However, at this moment, Shen Mu's face suddenly changed as if he had thought of something, and he turned his head to look at the Veqian archers who were sitting not far away under the city wall, resting with their battle axes in their hands.

The corners of his mouth slowly curled up.

He had found the best candidates to use these two rewards on!

“Designate Veqian archers to come and support!” Shen Mu's thoughts directly communicated with the system.

‘Buzz!’

The rules from Mount \u0026 Blade descended again.

And right in front of Shen Mu's retina, the dialogue box immediately popped up.

【A legend has appeared in Calradia, the legendary figure who went to another world, Mr. Shen Mu, needs 50 of the most skilled Veqian archers to support him. Therefore, many Veqian archers in the Veqian Kingdom have eagerly begun to take action, hoping to go to another world and serve under Mr. Shen Mu.】

【Now, 50 of the most outstanding and skilled Veqian archers from the Veqian Kingdom have finally arrived!】

“Open the west gate! Welcome those Veqian archers!”

Shen Mu's heart stirred at this moment.

According to the Mount \u0026 Blade system's prompt to him, as if they were telepathically connected, he directly waved his hand and issued the order.

“Understood!” Immediately, a Swadian militiaman acting as a messenger reacted, responded loudly, and immediately led the team to the west gate, removing the crossbar that served as a doorstop and opening the thick city gate.

They also found new wooden doors to use as crossbars, directly laying them across the outer moat.

And not far outside, 50 Veqian archers wearing leather armor, carrying battle axes and quivers on their backs, and holding nomadic bows in their hands, had already appeared there.

Seeing the city gate wide open, their eyes also lit up.

They quickly ran over and, through the door panels placed on the moat, entered quickly one after another.

In less than a few minutes.

They had all entered the interior of the village of “Dhirim”.

Then those Swadian militiamen quickly removed the door panels, closed the city gate again, and carried the concrete barrier up to jam it behind the door.

They re-sealed the connection with the outside world.

“Lord Shen Mu!”

After these Veqian archers arrived in the village, they curiously looked around one by one.

Of course, following the Swadian militiamen who led the way, coming to Shen Mu to greet him and swear allegiance was also something they had to do.

“Yes, very good.” Shen Mu looked at these arriving Veqian archers, a smile also appearing on his face.

This was truly a godsend!

A total of 80 Veqian archers were added.

Fourth-tier ranged shooters.

Plus, at this time, a delicate scroll made of velvet, which directly appeared in his palm through Shen Mu's thought communication system.

It made the corners of his mouth curl up even more, with a heartfelt joyful smile.

This was a scroll made of velvet and cedar.

The exterior was densely embroidered with various symbols and runes.

Holding it in his hand, he could still faintly feel a warm heat flowing within it.

This represented the power of magic.

“Mid-tier battlefield unlimited supply scroll.”

Shen Mu read the name of this item.

He knew that as long as he opened this exquisitely made scroll, he would be able to obtain this unlimited supply scroll, which was specially used for war preparations and made with special space magic by the famous Enfas Empire from the winds of war!

The number of combat personnel that would be affected was exactly one hundred!

“With 80 Veqian archers who have super high firing rates, use cone-headed arrows, and have strong killing power, having this unlimited supply magical effect, even if the duration is only 30 minutes…”

Shen Mu chuckled: “That's enough!”

For Veqian archers, 30 minutes of continuous shooting would really transform them into Gatling archers.

Continuously shooting the enemy into hedgehogs!

Of course.

This continuous shooting for 30 minutes would definitely ruin the Veqian archers' arms.

After all, these Veqian archers, who have broken away from the game rules and integrated into the rules of the real world, are also living people, with their own flesh and blood, and their own fatigue and injuries.

“However, I also have the natural-type, group healing spell!”

Shen Mu slowly clenched his fist.

This was a range-type healing spell that could be cast 3 times a day.

Physical strength, mental exhaustion, and injuries.

As long as it was released.

Then they could all recover.

Then the injuries of these Veqian archers, such as arm muscle loss and fascia strain from long-term shooting, were completely not worth worrying about!

“It really is a godsend.” Shen Mu held the emerald green Heart of Nature gem tightly in his backhand.

In front of him, the dialogue box was still counting down.

【Mount \u0026 Blade system parsing remaining time: 01 hour 12 minutes 09 seconds.】

This reminded Shen Mu of the time before, when he had just transmigrated over, transmigrating into the body of himself in this parallel world.

There was also a similar countdown dialogue box in front of him at that time.

At that time.

What appeared after this countdown dialogue box ended was the Mount \u0026 Blade system.

“So this time, what will appear after the countdown ends?” Shen Mu was also somewhat eager to know.

‘Roar!’

Just as Shen Mu was about to have some guesses about this countdown in his mind.

In front, in the direction of the lava throne, the roars suddenly became noisy again.

Shen Mu turned his head to look.

Those abyss demons who had already finished resting, this time, began to move out again!

Only this time.

Those abyss demons were obviously more serious than the previous two times when they were small and playful due to underestimating the enemy.

And.

In the very front.

That Babo Demon Lord, who was a little less than 4 meters tall, thin, but exuded a fierce aura, was already carrying his long-bladed spear and walking in front.

Personally leading the team, about to launch an attack!
