A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

The three people from Anle City clearly sensed that Shen Mu was also observing the gazes of his soldiers.

Their faces showed a slight hint of embarrassment.

There was no way around it.

Because the human followers they had brought this time were originally human soldiers from a small territory within the Lionheart Duchy.

Apart from a small number of elite soldiers wearing chainmail and wielding longswords and round shields.

The remaining soldiers mostly wore leather armor over coarse linen robes, and their weapons were either spears or ordinary round shields and longswords, and because they had just experienced a bloody battle with the little devils on the rammed-earth walls.

This resulted in everyone being injured and looking extremely disheveled, which was indeed a bit pathetic.

The key was that compared to those soldiers who were fully armored, the difference was like heaven and earth!

But after all, these were the spirit realm human followers of their Binggong Magic Tower, and they also represented the facade of their Binggong Magic Tower, so they couldn't show weakness at this time.

So Anle City turned around and introduced and affirmed generously:

"These are all brave soldiers from the Lionheart Duchy. In the battle against the abyssal demons just now, they demonstrated a tenacious fighting will. Our Binggong Magic Tower likes them very much."

"Yes, indeed very good." Shen Mu nodded, looking at these injured humans, his eyes flashed with a hint of strange color.

This was the first time he had encountered human followers, who looked very similar to his Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers.

They all had Western-style faces.

Compared to the spirit realm, which was completely dominated by Eastern human faces, there was an essential difference.

No wonder it was now possible to clearly analyze whether a person was a human from Blue Star or a human from the spirit realm with just a little discernment.

According to the memories left by his predecessor, in this world called Blue Star, there were no white or black people.

There was only one race with Eastern faces.

Only yellow people.

"By the way, esteemed Mr. Shen Mu, to thank you for your help, we would like to offer a small gift."

After a brief exchange and informing each other of their names.

Anle City took out two crystal-clear crystals from his arms, took the initiative to reach out and hand them to Shen Mu, and said:

"These two spirit realm imprints are sealed with stone towers that are 8 meters high and 10 meters wide at the base, and wooden boxes have been installed at the 6-meter position. In addition, a 3-meter battle shed has been built on the top floor, which is considered a small token of our Binggong Magic Tower."

"Stone tower." Shen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, and the words he originally wanted to decline stopped on his lips.

He was indeed lacking buildings that could resist the rules of necromancy.

Although there were various buildings in the Mount \u0026 Blade system.

However, being able to absorb the buildings in the spirit realm rules and form a defensive advantage in urban construction in a short period of time was better than slowly building spirit realm buildings.

What's more, according to what this Anle City said, the two spirit realm imprints sealed two large towers.

As long as they were materialized in Blue Star.

Then, in an instant, Shen Mu would have two more solid and towering stone towers that could send mercenary crossbowmen and archers to garrison!

"Thank you." Shen Mu didn't refuse at this time, and nodded to express his gratitude.

And next to him, at Bandak's nod, a Swadian sergeant immediately walked forward, took the two spirit realm imprints from Anle City's hand, and then put them in his pocket, and stood back beside Shen Mu.

Holding a 3-meter-long spear in both hands, and carrying a heavy fan-shaped shield on his back, he looked like an elite guard.

This did indeed increase Shen Mu's face.

It also did indeed make Anle City, Liu Lu, and Zhao Hongying look envious.

But after a simple exchange with Shen Mu, Anle City said first: "Mr. Shen Mu, we look forward to seeing you next time. If you encounter our Luo City's Binggong Magic Tower while searching for spirit realm imprints in the astral world, then as our friend, no matter where you are, we are willing to cooperate with you."

"Of course, we are friends." Shen Mu smiled and nodded, agreeing with their title.

It was just a title.

But he cared more about what Anle City said, the saying of searching for the spirit realm imprints of the magic tower in the astral world.

Looking at Anle City and others, who obviously wanted to leave here.

Shen Mu didn't hide his ignorance of this statement, and asked very directly: "Sorry, Mr. Anle City, I would like to understand what you mean by searching for spirit realm imprints in the astral world?"

"Huh?" Shen Mu's question made the faces of Anle City's three people stunned.

Looking at each other, the three of them saw the doubts in each other's eyes.

Having such human followers.

And also controlling the power of spellcasters.

This mysterious Mr. Shen Mu was actually asking them such a low-level question.

Anle City still smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that Mr. Shen Mu usually is not responsible for these external tasks. It's no wonder, after all, going to the astral world and entering the spirit realm scenes and planes generated by the collapse of various crystal wall systems is indeed a bit dangerous."

"Please continue to speak." Shen Mu was listening carefully.

"In fact, this is not difficult to understand. It's like the spirit realm scenes that we occasionally encounter on Blue Star. We can actively enter many spirit realm scenes scattered in the astral world through the soul anchor point and the connection with the spirit realm followers."

Anle City explained: "It's like the spirit realm scenes that appear on Blue Star are passive. We actively look for spirit realm scenes that have not yet descended on Blue Star and are still floating in the astral world, and obtain some spirit realm imprints and corresponding inheritance from them."

"So that's how it is." Shen Mu nodded lightly, although he didn't completely understand it.

But if you think about it, you can almost understand some by guessing.

"Lord Shen Mu, when your soul and your spirit realm followers resonate to a certain degree, you will have this ability."

Anle City also reminded at this time: "Moreover, going to this kind of astral world, although there is indeed a high probability of obtaining a lot of opportunities, what you need to know is that it is indeed very dangerous. For example, we are now an example. If it weren't for your appearance and kind help, Mr. Shen Mu, we would be in some danger."

Speaking of which, Anle City also sighed: "If it weren't for the fact that our Luo City encountered a necromantic disaster and urgently needed various supplies, we wouldn't have been sent to the astral world to search for supplies."

"Oh." Shen Mu responded.

Just listening to what Anle City said, he felt that his predecessor seemed to have been loafing around for a long time during the three years of the necromantic rules descending.

Unexpectedly, he didn't know a lot of useful information.

"We can't chat anymore, Mr. Shen Mu, goodbye." Anle City estimated the time at this time, and didn't plan to stay here any longer.

However, before leaving, he pointed to the direction of the castle and said: "The castle over there is still a spirit realm castle building, with its own spirit realm imprint. If you are interested, Lord Shen Mu, you can spend a few days erasing the demon corrosion on it and becoming your own castle."

"Thank you." Shen Mu thanked again.

Then he watched Anle City raise his staff, and with all the Blue Star humans and human followers, they instantly turned into a series of phantoms.

'Whoosh!' Then it turned into a ray of light, soaring into the sky and disappearing.

Shen Mu was slightly stunned by this scene.

"Sure enough, whether it's the astral world, or exploring spirit realm scenes, or the relevant information about disappearing as a phantom, my predecessor didn't know anything."

Shen Mu's face was a little helpless at this time.

Fortunately, most of his face was hidden under the helmet now, otherwise he would really feel ashamed for himself in the parallel space.

No wonder he could be bullied by the people of the diesel company to the point of cutting his wrists, this was not without reason.

"Lord, they have left." Bandak interrupted Shen Mu's speechlessness at this time.

"Yes." Shen Mu nodded.

"Fatis and the others seem to have captured the chieftains and leaders of those gnolls. Do we need to go over and take a look?"

Bandak asked.

"No need." Shen Mu raised his head, looking at the direction of the castle that was not far away.

Thinking of what Anle City said, that there was still a spirit realm imprint in the castle.

His heart moved, and he said: "Let Fatis **** all the captured gnolls to that castle."

"Understood." Bandak nodded.

"Also, you send someone to investigate that castle to prevent any remaining demons from still being inside." Shen Mu added.

“Lord Shen Mu, I will personally lead the team over.” Bandak replied seriously.

Then, he designated a dozen Swadian soldiers and Lake Rat Gang saboteurs to follow him to the castle, which stood hundreds of meters away in the wilderness, out of place with the surrounding sandy land.

After inspecting the castle and confirming that there were no problems, he notified Shen Mu and the others to move in.

Meanwhile, Fatis also escorted the gnolls from the hill to this place.

“Be honest!”

A total of 6 gnolls were captured, and under the supervision of Fatis and 60 knights and heavy cavalry, they slowly walked over, which seemed particularly extravagant.

At least these 6 gnolls, just seeing the heavy cavalry around them wearing heavy armor, even the men and horses, paid so much attention to them, and the idea of how to muddle through and escape that was originally in their minds completely disappeared.

They didn't think that if they, these gnolls, ran away, these human heavy cavalry would not kill them.

Looking at the blood still stained on their bodies, it still made them, who were sensitive to smell, shudder.

This was blood that could only be splashed on them after killing many abyss demons.

Enough to witness how many demons these heavy cavalry… killed!

“They are all butchers who like to kill. There is no difference between abyss demons and these human heavy cavalry!”

Among these 6 gnolls, there was a gnoll chieftain with a missing ear, who looked a little moved at this time:

“I originally wanted that Zhang guy from Diesel Company to take me away, but after so much time, he didn’t have enough rule power to come here. It’s a waste of time!”

“Now that I have met such a strong human lord, if I choose to be loyal to him, maybe I will live a good life?”

Thinking of this, the gnoll looked at the old gnoll leader next to him who had raised him.

His tongue licked the corner of his mouth.

He remembered.

His old gnoll tribe chieftain seemed to have a secret about a god!

“Don’t dawdle, put your heads down!”

So these gnolls were taken to the castle hall by the Lake Rat Gang saboteurs.

As soon as he entered, before the gnoll could look around and see the situation in the castle hall, he felt a slap on the back of his head.

A slap with a chainmail glove.

The gnoll with a missing ear immediately felt his head buzzing, and even his thoughts were directly scattered.

After staggering forward a few steps, before he could stand still, he was kicked in the back of his leg again.

Then, with a 'plop', he knelt on the ground.

“Lord, these gnolls have been brought over.”

The Lake Rat Gang saboteurs then retracted their kicking feet, came to Shen Mu, raised their hands to their chests, and respectfully reported.

“Yes.” Shen Mu was sitting on a chair that he had found that was still in good condition.

On both sides around him were Vikia archers holding sharp axes.

In the dim light, the cold light shining from the axes in their hands showed a stern chill at this time, which made people feel cold inside just by looking at it.

These gnolls who were kicked to the ground and knelt in front of Shen Mu only glanced out of the corners of their eyes subconsciously.

One by one, they knelt humbly on the ground, feeling panicked in their hearts.

“Respected lord, we are gnolls living in this desert! We are also natives invaded by demons! We have no malice!”

The gnolls were now lying on the ground, wailing and reaching out their hands, indicating that they surrendered and had no other ideas.

Of course, now that they were the fish on the chopping board.

Even if they had any ideas, where could they express them now? Wouldn't that be courting death!

“Lord, I once followed humans from Blue Star, and even resisted undead monsters together! We are willing to choose to surrender! We are willing to become your followers! Together we will resist those undead monsters!”

Especially among these 6 gnolls who kept begging for mercy, the gnoll with a missing ear kept stating that he had once followed humans from Blue Star as a follower.

“Hmm?” Shen Mu, who was sitting in the chair, looked over when he heard the voice, and a hint of playfulness appeared in his eyes.

Before this gnoll revealed his identity, he just felt familiar.

When this gnoll revealed his identity.

Saying that he had once followed humans from Blue Star and served as a follower.

Shen Mu directly confirmed his identity and couldn't help showing a mocking smile, with a bit more sarcasm in his eyes: “Oh, Momit.”

Shen Mu said this name lightly.

But when this name was spoken, the gnoll with a missing ear suddenly raised his head in astonishment.

The furry gnoll head, with a slight emaciation that formed a natural ferocity, was now filled with surprise and doubt.

He didn't know why the human lord in front of him, who was wearing such exquisite and beautiful armor, would know him.

“Damn it! Put your head down!”

But before Momit, who was missing an ear, could say anything.

A gust of wind appeared behind him.

Then, one of the Lake Rat Gang saboteurs, because he rashly raised his head, quickly walked over and kicked him in the shoulder, knocking him heavily to the ground on the spot.

At the same time, he fell to the ground in front of Shen Mu, just in front of the chainmail greaves.

'Bang!' 'Bang!'

Then, footsteps sounded again, and then two two-handed axes fell directly next to the head of this gnoll Momit with a missing ear.

Even tiny sparks were rubbed out on the ground, which was also made of flagstones.

Then came the deep scolding from the Vikia archers:

“Tell you! Remember your humble identity! Whoever dares to raise their head again! Disrespectful to the lord! Then you will be punished!”

“Yes… yes, yes!”

The gnoll Momit ignored the pain in his shoulder and quickly lay on the ground and responded.

Just now, those two axes almost came towards his head.

If the Vikia archer who used the axe had not slightly adjusted the direction of his slash at the end, he would have been able to make his head explode like a watermelon!

Now, the back of the gnoll Momit's head was still faintly cold.

His heart was even more frightened and beating fiercely!

“Heh.”

However, Shen Mu, who was on the chair in front of him, let out a soft laugh.

Looking at the embarrassed gnoll Momit in front of him, as well as the 5 gnoll chieftains and leaders behind him who were trembling and kneeling there with their butts sticking up high, his eyes became more and more playful.

Sometimes, Shen Mu couldn't help but sigh that fate was too much of a joke.

This gnoll with a missing ear.

Isn't it the guy named Geng Jun that I met in the apartment before, who owned one of the gnolls!?

“Momit, I didn’t expect we would meet again.” Shen Mu said lightly.

“Ah?” This Momit with a missing ear just wanted to raise his head, but feeling the pain in his shoulder, he immediately forcibly pressed his neck down again, and complimented in a trembling voice: “This honorable lord, I didn’t expect that you would have seen humble me.”

It's just in his mind, no matter how he thought about it, this gnoll Momit didn't know when he had seen Shen Mu.

Looking at this gorgeous armor, looking at these elite human soldiers around him.

In the mind of the gnoll Momit.

There was no impression at all!

“Oh, maybe you forgot.” Shen Mu's tone was still very playful: “Let me remind you, in the apartment, there was also that person named Geng Jun, you should still remember him, right?”

After saying this, the gnoll Momit, who was still guessing randomly, whether Shen Mu had misremembered, suddenly raised his head.

His eyes were filled with horror.

For a moment, a crazy and unbelievable idea appeared in his mind.

He even blurted out: “You are that… Shen Mu who owns human followers!”

The time the two sides were in contact was not too far away.

It's been less than a month at most.

Now this gnoll Momit, of course, still remembers Shen Mu's name when he introduced himself to Geng Jun at the beginning.

As soon as this sentence was uttered, there was a commotion behind him.

Whether it was the Vikia archers, the Lake Rat Gang saboteurs, or the Swadian soldiers and light infantry, they all stared at him with angry eyes.

Even one of the hot-tempered Lake Rat Gang saboteurs walked over and kicked him in the back:

“How dare you! You actually dare to directly say Lord Shen Mu's name!”

That heavy force made this gnoll, Momit, feel as if his spine and ribs were about to break, and he couldn't breathe for more than ten seconds. A mouthful of fishy sweetness surged from his throat to his mouth.

‘Cough cough cough…’ As he coughed painfully, his nostrils and mouth were filled with fine blood foam.

Obviously, this kick directly injured his lungs and internal organs.

However, this gnoll, Momit, didn't care about his injuries at all. When he suddenly looked up just now, he saw the playfulness and sarcasm in Shen Mu's eyes, as well as the indifference deep in his eyes.

That kind of indifference to life immediately made him scream in horror:

“No no no! Respected Lord Shen Mu! Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I have a secret that can save my life! I have a secret! A secret about the gods! A secret about the gods!”

“Momit! Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about!” The old gnoll chieftain, who was originally kneeling behind, raised his head in disbelief, looking at the child he had raised, actually revealing his greatest secret.

Immediately gritting his teeth, bloodshot eyes appeared: “You don’t know anything at all!”

“I know! I know!”

The gnoll, Momit, trembled at this moment, but said even more resolutely:

“That really is a secret about the gods! I once heard it muttering to itself in secret! Saying that as long as this secret is solved! We can solve the problem of being sealed in the river of time again after the abyss demons and Blue Star humans leave!”

As he spoke, he also loudly and affirmatively said: “That! Is the secret of the Gnoll God, Yeenoghu!”

‘Buzz!’

Just as the gnoll Momit shouted this name, a subtle fluctuation originating from the rules instantly appeared.

However, right in this castle hall, a similarly subtle, but more powerful and tenacious, fluctuation was released from Shen Mu's brow, completely suppressing the entire castle hall.

[Ding! You have chosen ‘② Express Malice’. The malice you revealed lets these gnolls know that if they dare to deceive you, there will definitely be no good outcome.]

[Ding! The system is focusing on scanning this creature and this large spirit realm scene… ]

[The system is scanning for subsequent temporary tasks to construct… ]

At the same time, at this moment, the dialogue box reappeared on Shen Mu's retina.

The content above was quickly refreshed and appeared.

Shen Mu frowned slightly.

A stream of warm heat began to appear in his brow, turning into a trace of white light flashing in his eyes.

The invisible fluctuations that diffused out also began to envelop the castle at this time.

‘Buzz!’

And quickly spread out, beginning to ripple in this large spirit realm scene composed of desert and small oases.

At this time, the gnoll Momit, who was already terrified because he had personally killed Geng Jun, turned around and pointed at the old gnoll chieftain who had raised him, and said loudly:

“He is the chieftain of this gnoll tribe! I clearly remember that before the Crystal Wall System shattered, he picked up something that fell from the sky… it seems to be the artifact of the Gnoll God Yeenoghu!”

[Ding! Fourth stage mission released—make the old gnoll chieftain hand over the artifact of the “Gnoll God Yeenoghu”! ]

[Stage mission reward: ① Skill enhancement (divine power enhancement). ]

And at this moment, the dialogue box from the Mount \u0026 Blade system reappeared in front of Shen Mu.

This is already equal to blatantly hinting at Shen Mu!

“Skill enhancement, and divine power enhancement.” Shen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly.

Just looking at the name makes it feel extraordinary.

Shen Mu looked down at Momit.

This gnoll immediately said anxiously: “As long as you let me go! I am willing to tell you!”

“Momit! You are betraying our ancestral god! Betraying our god! You will surely suffer the most cruel retribution!”

The old gnoll chieftain was already extremely angry, struggling to stand up, and roared and cursed fiercely at Momit.

But this Momit, who was missing an ear, didn't care about the old chieftain's anger at all.

Instead, he looked hopefully at Shen Mu, and said in a trembling voice: “What I said is true! I can take you to our tribe. I once saw him dig a hole in his tent and hide the artifact of the Gnoll God Yeenoghu!”

“You! ! !” The old gnoll chieftain still wanted to say something.

But with Shen Mu's slightly frowned eyebrows, and a look at the Lake Rat Gang Destroyer beside him, who was extremely good at observing words and expressions.

‘Bang!’ The Lake Rat Gang Destroyer pulled out the armor-piercing axe from his waist and swung it down fiercely at the gnoll's head.

The hard and sharp axe directly broke open the old gnoll chieftain's head.

Fresh blood mixed with brain matter spurted out immediately.

“Old thing! What are you shouting! ”

The Lake Rat Gang Destroyer snorted coldly, and at the same time kicked the gnoll chieftain, whose eyes had instantly dimmed and whose facial expression had stiffened, out.

By the way, he used this force to pull out the armor-piercing axe stuck on the skull, and pointed the axe, stained with blood and brain matter, at the four gnolls next to him who were already trembling with fear, and whose urine had appeared on their lower bodies, and threatened fiercely:

“Listen carefully to what Lord Shen Mu says!”

“Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie!”

This tragic scene immediately aroused the grinning of the other 49 Lake Rat Gang Destroyers in the castle.

Just killing prisoners.

What's more, they are a group of gnolls, prisoners who are completely different from humans.

These Lake Rat Gang Destroyers would not have any psychological burden at all.

Besides, even if they killed human prisoners, these Lake Rat Gang Destroyers, who were originally bandits, thugs, and robbers, would not hesitate at all, because they had done a lot of this kind of thing!

Even Fatis, who led 10 Swadian knights and 10 Holy Tree knights into the castle from behind, frowned slightly at this, but said nothing.

Fatis has a moral obsession.

Killing prisoners, burning villages, robbing and killing villagers will all lead to Fatis's protests.

But that was all in Calradia, all under the circumstances of humans.

Now facing these gnolls, that kind of knightly noble character towards humans has not been extended.

Fatis can distinguish between good and bad.

“……” Shen Mu sat at the head, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

With a look, he just wanted the Lake Rat Gang Destroyer to show this old chieftain a little color, not to kill him directly.

“I'll talk! Don't kill me! I'll talk!” Looking at the gnoll Momit crying in front of him, Shen Mu pursed his lips.

Without saying much, he just opened his mouth lightly and said: “Take my friend Momit out and find the things hidden in the gnoll tribe.”

“Understood!” Immediately, two Lake Rat Gang Destroyers walked over.

One on each side, they grabbed the arm of the gnoll, who was missing an ear, and frowning, swept over the wet crotch, dragged the body that had been frightened and could not stand up, and walked towards the outside of the castle.

“Let's all prepare to set off.” Shen Mu stood up from the chair.

The infantry and archers in the castle, as well as the knights who came in, began to walk outside at this time.

However, Shen Mu did not follow out immediately.

Bandak and 10 Lake Rat Gang Destroyers also stood beside Shen Mu at this time, turning their heads to look at the direction of the spiral staircase leading to the second floor of the castle.

Because when searching the castle before, Bandak and the Lake Rat Gang Destroyers discovered the spirit realm imprint in this castle.

Or rather, it is the core of the imprint that represents this spirit realm building!

Something in the innermost room on the second floor of the castle, flashing with a faint white light, seems to be a crystal.

“It’s here.”

Bandak led Shen Mu upstairs and personally opened the dilapidated wooden door.

A few rays of light shone in from the narrow window, just shining on the crystal, which was already releasing a faint white light in the room.

‘Buzz!’

When Shen Mu came over, a subtle fluctuation was released from the crystal.

It was as if it was rejoicing that a human from Blue Star had come and was able to master the building core with special power, condensed from the countless rules after the collapse of the spirit realm!

“Ling Realm Mark.” Shen Mu walked forward, reaching out to grasp the crystal in his hand.

‘Buzz!’

The fluctuations within the crystal grew even more intense.

However, at this moment, the Mount \u0026 Blade system within Shen Mu's brow activated once again.

A gentle warmth began to surge forth, directly transforming into white light and countless streams of data, as if a large hand directly seized the crystal, which was still releasing waves of rules.

Then, it directly pulled the crystal back into Shen Mu's brow, where it vanished without a trace.

Only a dialogue box appeared before Shen Mu's eyes.

【Ding! You have absorbed a special rule and extracted the special energy contained within!】

【You can convert this special energy into a real – ' dilapidated small castle' at any time!】

【Ding! King Harlaus of the Swadian Kingdom has heard of your deeds and learned about the small castle with special rules from another world that you just obtained, and is willing to exchange it for a 'mountain castle in the Rhodok Kingdom' that he just captured. (This may cause some minor criticism from the Rhodok Kingdom towards you).】

“……” Just looking at the content on his retina, Shen Mu's lips pursed slightly.

He felt like something was off.

But...

Thinking about it carefully, this was indeed something Harlaus could do.

Shen Mu wanted to curse a few times. This king, who had a controversial reputation in the game, proved to be truly deserving of it in reality after he met him.

“No wonder the Swadian Kingdom is invincible in field battles and rich in wheat, yet you still managed to drive the lords to defect and sacrifice the elite troops, making it the first kingdom to be destroyed among the six major kingdoms.”

Curling his lip, Shen Mu was also a bit speechless.

‘Whoosh!’

Before Shen Mu could think any further, subtle changes began to appear around him.

It was as if the entire castle was losing its color, slowly fading away.

“Go! This place is about to disappear!”

Shen Mu knew that this was because he had obtained the core of the small castle's scene, the Ling Realm Mark, causing the power of the rules that formed it to disappear, which in turn caused the building to disappear as well.

“Escort Lord Shen Mu! Let's go!” Bunduk immediately pushed open the door to let Shen Mu go first.

The group ran quickly through the castle, where countless colors were disappearing and gradually turning into nothingness.

Until they reached the outside, and after a long while.

All the colors of the castle finally disappeared.

Completely turning transparent.

This also signified that the castle had completely disappeared from this desolate and barren desert.

Only the rammed earth walls, which were still relatively intact as a whole but had collapsed in many details, still stood here, proving that there seemed to have been a large building surrounded by this circle of rammed earth walls.

But everything had vanished into thin air.

“Let’s go.”

Shen Mu mounted his horse.

Turning his head to look at the figures of Fatis and the Swadian cavalry, who were still forcibly escorting the jackal-men towards the depths of the desert on the horizon, he waved his hand forward.

Then, he led ten Holy Tree Knights, galloping on horseback, quickly catching up.

“Let’s go too.” Bunduk did not lead the infantry and archers to follow.

Instead, he walked in the direction they had come from.

While looking at the demon corpses still lying on the ground, and the various inferior and crude weapons made of Abyss Iron Ore that were casually discarded in the desert, yet were still practical.

Bunduk hesitated for a moment, then turned his head and instructed the soldiers behind him, “Prepare to clean up the battlefield, and each person should take as many spoils as they can carry.”

“Understood!” The soldiers responded one after another.

They all scattered and began to clean up the spoils of the battlefield, picking up and carrying in their arms those scimitars, iron forks, iron chains, wolf tooth clubs, and other things.

Although they all looked somewhat comical and ridiculous.

But as long as they returned to the village, these would be the spoils they had captured, which could be exchanged for denars for Shen Mu to alleviate financial pressure.

As soldiers loyal to Shen Mu, this legendary figure, they could be said to be doing their duty to the fullest.

‘Rumble!’

Shen Mu continued to ride forward at this time.

The other heavy cavalry beside him were also galloping quickly, heading towards the depths of the desert.

As for the remaining five jackal-men who had killed the old jackal-man chieftain, they had all been thrown onto the horses' backs, their waists bent like prawns, being carried by the cavalry.

However, the intense jolting of the galloping horses and the hard armor pressing against their stomachs.

Almost made these jackal-men vomit.

Fortunately.

As the warhorses ran quickly, they arrived at the only water source in this desert area.

An oasis of about thirty to forty mu.

“This… this is the哨站 Oasis, formerly the outermost part of the雄狮公国, used to defend against the bandit races on the wilderness, us jackal-men, earth goblins, and the outposts of those centaur tribes deeper in.”

At this time, the jackal-man Momit, who was missing an ear, also struggled to get off the horse's back.

Covering his stomach, he looked at the oasis full of tents in front of him with a complicated expression.

Swallowing a mouthful of blood, he endured the discomfort and said, “However, the crystal wall system shattered, and 雄狮公国 and this place have also been separated, so the哨站 Oasis has become our jackal-men’s lair.”

‘Pa!’ Just as Momit's voice fell, a whip struck his back, making a crisp sound.

Directly causing the fur on the jackal-man's back to explode, leaving a deep bloodstain.

“Speak seriously!”

It was a Swadian heavy cavalryman wielding the whip in his hand, his face under the flat-topped helmet showing undisguised disgust: “Which tent is the artifact that Lord Shen Mu needs in!”

“I…” Fear and despair appeared in the jackal-man Momit's eyes at this time, and he opened his mouth full of sharp teeth as if wanting to say something.

But Shen Mu rode his horse in front, looking at the messy tents, preemptively guessed what he was going to say, and said lightly:

“As long as you can let me find the so-called artifact of the jackal-man god Yeenoghu, then I promise, I will not kill you.”

“It’s right there!” Hearing Shen Mu's promise, joy immediately appeared in the jackal-man Momit's eyes.

Looking at the other jackal-man leaders beside him who were looking at him with hatred, he walked forward quickly, pointed to a slightly larger tent, and said in a deep voice: “That is the old thing’s tent, the thing is buried under a blanket in the northeast corner!”

“Mm.” Shen Mu led the team and immediately moved forward.

The sound of hooves rumbled.

Inside the tents of the oasis, they seemed to have noticed the rumbling sound of hooves like muffled thunder.

About a thousand jackal-men, either female, elderly, or young, howled in terror and began to flee towards the depths of the desert.

The tragic memories that the 雄狮公国 left in the minds of these jackal-men were still unforgettable.

Organizing troops regularly every year to come here to strangle the bandit races on the wilderness.

But the 雄狮公国, which advocated martial force, practiced tactical cooperation and honed the command abilities and tactical skills of those newly promoted noble knights, making it an excellent internship place!

Even knowing that the crystal wall system had collapsed and the 雄狮公国 had moved away from this desert.

But now seeing a group of heavy cavalry rushing over.

The memories of past terrors reappeared.

These jackal-men were of course frightened and directly collapsed, and all ran away on the spot!
