A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

Balihe Street, west side of City Garden.

A dense forest was growing, dotted with treehouses built among the trees, appearing and disappearing amidst the lush foliage.

However, only upon closer inspection would one discover that there were treehouses not only in the canopy.

Between the trees, numerous wooden fences were arranged.

Unlike most wooden fences, these had undergone simple treatment, removing excess branches.

Planted in the soil, many trees with lush branches continued to grow, indeed alive and not withered.

Hidden within the dense forest, it was difficult to distinguish the fences without careful observation.

This, in itself, was a unique defense mechanism of the Wood Elf race.

The treehouses served as watchtowers.

The wooden walls surrounding the village were, in reality, specially modified living trees.

This not only avoided violating the natural pan-consciousness but also harnessed the power of nature to protect and defend themselves, achieving two goals at once.

Furthermore, beyond the walls and treehouses, there were many dug-out trenches and traps.

Their surfaces were covered with dead branches and leaves.

A moment of carelessness, and falling into them would result in being impaled to death by over a dozen sharp, dense spikes, each more than a meter long!

Moreover, on the treehouse watchtowers in the canopy, and behind the retaining walls of the fences.

Wood Elves, dressed in green clothing and clad in camouflage foliage resembling ghillie suits, concealed themselves, holding bows and arrows, their sharp eyes, like green gems, watching the outside.

Behind these Wood Elves, slender, curved sabers, as long as an adult's arm, were slung across their backs.

The curvature was relatively small.

Allowing for quick slashing and, in critical moments, straight thrusts.

Adorned with exquisite patterns, any knowledgeable being from the Spirit Realm would recognize these as standard Wood Elf weapons.

The Wood Elves wielding these sabers and holding bows were the elite of their race—

Wood Elf Sentinels!

Only the elite could serve as sentinels, qualified to safeguard the security of the entire clan.

Zhang Song led these Wood Elf Sentinels, responsible for the safety of the Wood Elf village hidden deep within City Garden.

At this moment, he traversed the suspension bridges between the treetops, his lean but sturdy body displaying exceptional balance.

With a few leaps, he crossed the bridge surface made of ropes and planks, arriving at another treetop watchtower.

Inside this small treehouse watchtower, about a dozen Wood Elves had already arrived.

"Lord Zhang Song."

These Wood Elves, with their pointed ears and long faces, ceased their previous whispers, slightly rising to bow and greet Zhang Song.

"What is the situation outside?" Zhang Song directly inquired.

"The Black Tide has receded, and the remaining undead monsters have been re-expelled back to the Undead Realm by the rules of Blue Star."

A Wood Elf replied, his tone grave:

"However, many undead monsters still exist in the commercial buildings and underground shopping malls outside City Garden, and the Bone Vanguard Army of the Seventh Dynasty of the Black Arrow Tower is still lurking."

"This is troublesome." Hearing this report, Zhang Song turned to look outside the forest.

Beyond this forest lay a large expanse of flat lawn, about a hundred acres in size.

Perhaps due to neglect, it had transformed into a meadow with grass reaching the knees of an adult.

Only a small path, following the previously constructed cement road, barely passed through the meadow.

It could be considered the road leading to their Wood Elf village.

However, Zhang Song did not care about these.

Instead, he continued to gaze into the distance.

Over there, rows of tall buildings stood, completely obscuring the horizon, like a mountain range spanning before the village.

At this moment, Zhang Song surveyed his surroundings.

To the north, west, and south of their Wood Elf village were all tall buildings.

Even to the east, scattered buildings and residential areas were located.

Coupled with the fact that these tall buildings and houses all appeared dilapidated.

For a moment.

It felt as if this Wood Elf village, built in City Garden and filled with lush vegetation, was surrounded by a great sense of dread!

Indeed, that was the case.

Zhang Song suppressed his emotions, looking at the stairs and rain shelters leading to the underground shopping malls in those lawns.

Looking at the entrances and exits of the subway station on the distant street.

And the shops along the street, large commercial complexes, and the bulletproof glass of the financial building's main entrance, which had been smashed.

All because the buildings were dense, sunlight could not penetrate, and everything was gray and dim.

If one looked closely.

One could faintly discover that in the darker depths, a trace of gray mist permeated!

That was the Undead Rule that could not be dispelled without sunlight.

Even during the day, it lingered inside.

Nurturing darkness and gray mist.

Bringing.

And the countless undead monsters!

There was also the Undead Realm, which they already knew and were constantly wary of, the Seventh Dynasty of the Black Arrow Tower, which had occupied Longcheng City, covering two districts and nearly six streets.

The Balihe Street where they were located was within the dominion of the Seventh Dynasty.

"Let's stay vigilant.

Since those Bone Vanguard Army of the Seventh Dynasty don't want to have too much conflict with us, then we can be at peace."

Zhang Song retracted his gaze with a complex expression, sighing and saying:

"Besides, aren't those bone monsters created from the bones of dead Wood Elves and our Blue Star humans?"

The surrounding Wood Elves had even more complex expressions, opening their mouths as if to say something.

In the end, they all sighed dejectedly.

They all knew clearly.

That Bone Legion, called the Black Arrow Tower, possessing the Seventh Dynasty, was originally formed from the Wood Elf army that died during the End War.

Perhaps most of the Black Arrow Tower's bone monsters had forgotten their memories as Wood Elves.

Only obsession and chaos, as well as the undead monsters' inherent hatred for the dead, remained.

But having come to Blue Star, why hadn't they launched an attack on them?

Instead, they had even helped them, vaguely deterring the pig-headed men of the Beastman tribe.

Perhaps the reason was that some of the Black Arrow Tower's high-ranking officials, who still retained most of their soul memories, still faintly held some nostalgia for these Wood Elves.

"We also need to be careful."

But at this moment, Zhang Song said in a deep voice:

"Since you came to the Blue Star world, the Black Tide has swept through 38 times.

Even the most resilient soul will gradually lose its sanity in this wave after wave of the Black Tide, eventually falling into a complete undead monster."

As Zhang Song spoke, he turned to look at these Wood Elves, earnestly reminding them:

"If you still regard those undead monsters as a part of your former companions and kin, you will suffer greatly!"

"We... understand."

These Wood Elves sighed dejectedly, their faces filled with reluctance.

But there was no way around it.

As an outsider, Zhang Song saw this matter very thoroughly and clearly.

After all, Zhang Song was essentially a human from Blue Star.

And not a Wood Elf from the Spirit Realm!

'Rustle!'

However, just as the treehouse outpost fell silent, a sound came from the bushes outside.

Immediately, it aroused the vigilance and attention of these Wood Elves.

Including Zhang Song, who had already undergone soul-level co-frequency resonance and began to transform into a Wood Elf.

"There's movement."

A Wood Elf said in a deep voice, subconsciously reaching out to grip the war bow in his hand, and drawing a fletched arrow from the quiver.

But this action was immediately stopped by the Wood Elf beside him.

"It's the Sprites!"

Another Wood Elf reminded.

Then, the Wood Elves in the treehouse outpost slowly breathed a sigh of relief, putting down the war bows in their hands, and smiles appeared on their faces.

Because they all saw that, in the dense bushes, there were about four or five figures, just over a meter tall, holding what would be daggers to adults, but short swords to them, were parting the bushes that concealed their bodies, and quickly walked over.

Stopping directly in the direction of the forest, waving to the top of the canopy.

Obviously, they were familiar with coming here!

Indeed, that was the case.

"Go down."

Zhang Song directly pushed open the small door of the treehouse, bent down, and quickly jumped down the rope ladder.

Once the village's outer gate, hidden within the walls and with no discernible doorframe, was opened, Zhang Song led three or four wood elves out.

“Respected Mr. Zhang Song, and respected wood elf gentlemen, we have brought Mr. Zhang Bo's letter again!”

These little sprites wore ingratiating smiles on their wrinkled faces, quickly walked two steps forward, and took out a parchment scroll from the robes they were wearing, respectfully holding it up with both hands.

Just then, Zhang Song arrived in front of them.

So he reached out and took it.

“Thank you.” Zhang Song didn't immediately look at the contents of the letter, but instead spoke to the wood elves behind him, “Send some fruit to our friends who braved danger and came from afar.”

“Here.” Hearing Zhang Song's words, a wood elf immediately took out four or five rosy apples from behind with a cold face and handed them over.

“Thank you! Thank you!” These little sprites hurriedly and happily took them, each taking one.

After thanking him in their sharp voices, they began to eat them on the spot with crunching sounds.

Each of their wrinkled faces, like those of old men, were now filled with happy smiles.

They hadn't eaten this kind of spirit realm apple in a long time.

In the Diesel Company, among the pig-headed orcs, although the food provided was also spirit realm food, the truly delicious ones wouldn't be left for these inferior little sprites!

“Zhang Bo, how has he been lately?” At this time, Zhang Song watched these little sprites eating apples, a faint smile on his lips, with no hint of ridicule, but rather inquiring as if chatting casually.

“Ah, Mr. Zhang Bo is highly valued by those pig-headed orcs. Now, Mr. Zhang Bo has the final say in the quality inspection department.”

The leading little sprite, eating an apple that was so big it needed to be held with both hands, like a volleyball, made crunching sounds while mumbling in its throat, answering:

“It's just that those pig-headed orcs are very dissatisfied with him, thinking he's an outsider and very resistant to him.”

“That's normal.” Hearing that Zhang Bo was now valued, a smile appeared on Zhang Song's face, “Then when you go back, you must remind Zhang Bo that no matter what happens, he must remain humble and unassuming, those pig-headed orcs like that.”

“Of course, of course, Mr. Zhang Bo is a very good person.” These little sprites nodded repeatedly.

“What about that Zhang Caitong, how is he doing?” Zhang Song asked, as if remembering something.

“Him? He's now leading an outsourced team on his own, becoming a captain.”

The little sprite replied, with ridicule in its tone, “Now he's still very proud, even his tone towards Mr. Zhang Bo has become tough, completely forgetting how Mr. Zhang Bo took care of him before, what a bad guy!”

“Well, then go back and tell Zhang Bo, say that I said, let him never offend petty people.” Zhang Song nodded, and instructed again.

“Definitely won't forget!” These little sprites nodded repeatedly.

Although the little sprites' combat power is very weak.

And their personalities are also weak and innocent.

But that doesn't mean they are stupid.

On the contrary, it's because of their unique high intelligence that they can become assistants that those mages, who are like scholars and possess a lot of wisdom, like to use.

Whether it's life or magic experiments, they all like these highly intelligent little sprites.

“Well, you've always done a good job.”

Zhang Song smiled.

At the same time, looking at the gradually setting sun, his face now had a more serious look, and he reminded these little sprites:

“Remember, let Zhang Bo remember that he should instigate others to rush ahead, and he must remain humble and respectful. Then, he should only speak when his manager actively asks, and remain silent if there's nothing else.”

“Understood, understood, we know.” The little sprites nodded again.

Seeing that these little sprites looked very serious, Zhang Song nodded and didn't say much.

After these little sprites finished eating the apples, and then repeatedly told them to pay attention to safety on the way back, they separated again.

The walled gate of the wood elf village closed again, restoring its previous appearance where the real city gate couldn't be seen.

“You guys continue to guard here.” Zhang Song took out the parchment scroll and looked at it himself first.

Joy flashed in his eyes.

“As expected, the special rule skill to summon the abyss rift has already been used towards that human race's new lord's territory.”

Zhang Song clenched his fist and waved it hard, as if relieved, his smile carrying a bit of luck.

However, Zhang Song's eyes also carried a bit of guilt: “Sorry.”

But as soon as he finished saying these two words, the expression in his eyes immediately changed to solemn.

Because he knew that the sword that had been hanging over the heads of him and the others in the Green Leaf Group, held by the Diesel Company, had finally disappeared temporarily.

Then, the Green Leaf Group would be able to take advantage of this strategic opportunity to enter a period of rapid development.

They could secretly catch their breath!

… …

Town “Derheim”.

Noble Manor.

At this time, Shen Mu was sitting on a chair made of wood, with a soft cushion made of animal skin and velvet underneath him.

Around him was a spacious and bright hall, with many windows that directly overlooked the garden.

The fragrance of flowers wafted through the air.

The decoration was also extremely luxurious, with sculptures and other works of art everywhere.

Shen Mu's expression was a little strange.

“This noble manor… feels so livable, it's like heaven compared to the castle.”

That's what Shen Mu was thinking.

Originally accustomed to the cold and hard stone chair, he leaned back against the back of the chair, and the feeling of the animal skin made him a little uncomfortable.

Especially the armrests on both sides were designed just right, supporting his arms, just allowing him to sit here as if all parts of his body could be placed, bringing a comfort that made him unable to help but breathe lightly.

In addition, the 10-meter-long table in front of him was covered with brown linen, and there was also a vase with flowers of various colors inserted on it.

It looked extremely delicate.

Shen Mu, who was familiar with the dim, cramped, humid, and stuffy environment of the castle, didn't want to leave after only sitting here for less than half an hour.

In fact, it was okay not to leave, because Shen Mu found that this noble manor also had a part-time function.

That was as the administrative residence.

When Shen Mu inspected just now, he also found that a part of the area on the first floor had been separated from the inside of the mansion, and inside were offices for work.

Representing the town hall office responsible for the administrative operation of the town.

The sheriff's office responsible for the town's security.

And the finance officer's office responsible for the town's tax revenue and commercial development.

Each office was 100 square meters.

There were many tables, chairs, and bookcases, as well as pre-prepared ink, quills, parchment scrolls, and linen paper and other office supplies.

Obviously, it was a place provided for these officials and clerical employees to work.

And on the side wall of this noble manor, a separate side door was also opened for them to enter and exit separately.

The part near the wall was also built as a storage room for placing materials and a room for clerical employees to simply rest, as well as for the three town officials to rest on duty.

Of course, this separate area was also enclosed separately by walls.

Only a closed wooden door could pass through.

Very clear.

The noble manor enjoyed the largest, most sunny, and garden-filled two-thirds of the area.

This separated part, as the area of the town's administrative residence, only enjoyed the remaining one-third.

“This should have been the noble manor itself, but because the small town didn't have a separate administrative residence, a part of the noble manor was isolated and used as the town's administrative office.”

Shen Mu was clear about the reason for this.

Of course.

There was also another reason inside.

That was that whether the town chief, the sheriff, or the finance officer, were all servants within the noble's fief.

Accurately speaking, the town chief should be called the steward, and the real job was to manage his territory on behalf of the noble and maintain this noble manor.

Then the job after that was to manage the entire town.

“However, the positions of these officials seem to have to be filled by NPC generals.”

Shen Mu comfortably sat in the chair, also thinking in his mind:

“Right now, there are only Bandak and Fatis as generals. After entering the town's development period, relying on just the two of them is indeed not enough.”

The only thing that made Shen Mu feel okay was that the current town scale was still too small.

It's equivalent to a small village.

Relying on the self-discipline of these soldiers and the self-government of those Vaegir villagers, there are basically no complex matters to handle.

This saves Shen Mu a lot of worry.

At least for now, the attributes of this administrative residence are not needed.

Just as Shen Mu was pondering, Fatis and Bunduk had already walked down the gently sloped stairs beside him.

At the same time, Fatis reported:

"Lord Shen Mu, Bunduk and I have inspected the second floor. It's your exclusive floor, with a bedroom that has the best view and faces the sun, as well as rooms for guests or personal servants to live in."

Bunduk added, "The guards' bedrooms are also on the second floor. Most of the ordinary servants live on the first floor, which is also used for meeting guests."

It's a standard noble mansion.

The Kingdom of Rhodoks separated from the Kingdom of Swadia, so the two countries have many similarities at the noble level.

At least when Fatis and Bunduk inspected, they found it to be exactly the same as the noble mansions they knew.

"Okay, it's good that you've inspected it," Shen Mu said calmly, nodding.

He had glanced at the second floor earlier, but he didn't look closely because there were too many rooms.

He just left Fatis and Bunduk to help inspect it to see if there were any problems.

Now it seems that there are no problems at all.

"Let's do this for now," Shen Mu arranged for the two to sit on the chairs in the meeting hall to rest.

At the same time, the Swadian light infantry who had already moved in and inspected the room put down their weapons and walked over with the trays they had found.

On top were common glass water cups from the Blue Star world, filled with honey water from Mount \u0026 Blade.

As servants, the Swadian light infantry brought them drinks to enjoy while they talked.

"Please enjoy," then the Swadian light infantry retreated and left.

"Okay," Shen Mu nodded in response, picking it up and gently sipping the well-mixed honey water, which had a refreshing taste because it was made with water from Crescent Lake.

In his mind, he was thinking about the work arrangements for this afternoon.

"Bunduk," Shen Mu said.

"At your service," Bunduk was still drinking the honey water, but when he heard Shen Mu speak, he immediately put the glass on the long table.

Even Fatis next to him stopped drinking and looked like he was listening attentively.

"Gather all the troops and have the ranged shooters stand by. If nothing goes wrong, a herd of migrating antelopes from the desert will pass by the edge of our town."

Shen Mu explained the situation.

Bunduk was stunned and glanced at Fatis next to him.

He saw the same look of astonishment in the other's eyes.

A herd of migrating antelopes from the desert is going to pass by the edge of this town?

This sounded a bit like a fantasy.

However, Bunduk nodded seriously and said, "Understood, Lord Shen Mu, then I will start making arrangements now."

"Okay," Shen Mu nodded and said to Fatis, "You go too."

"Understood," Fatis nodded as well.

The two got up, saluted Shen Mu again, and without saying anything more, turned around to gather the troops.

Since a herd of antelopes was going to pass by, then the 50 Rhodok Sharpshooters, 50 Mercenary Crossbowmen, and 100 Vaegir Archers in the troop, as the only ranged shooters, would of course be the focus of the mobilization.

However, the 150 Lake Rat members who had javelins to throw also had to be mobilized.

After all, Lord Shen Mu had already said that a herd of antelopes would appear on the edge of the town.

So, Bunduk and Fatis now believed that the herd of antelopes would really appear.

Miracles had already happened many times.

Even magic that they had never seen before, the Rhodok castle that was formed instantly in a short time, and even the more miraculous plane teleportation gate, etc., these miracles had all appeared before their eyes.

How could they not believe in Lord Shen Mu, who had been famous for a long time on the continent of Calradia?

So, in a short time, all the troops in the entire castle and town were gathered.

Of course, the main focus of the gathering was still those archers, crossbowmen, and Lake Rat members.

The west and east gates of the town had already been opened.

The 200 archers and crossbowmen and the 150 Lake Rat members who could throw javelins were standing on both sides of the east and west gates respectively.

Led by Bunduk and Fatis respectively.

At this time, they were all solemnly looking at the surrounding environment, especially the vast expanse of barren land, waiting earnestly.

The news of the desert antelope herd migrating had been told to them.

And it was explained that this was what Shen Mu, the legendary figure, had said.

Therefore, no one refuted it.

Everyone believed from the bottom of their hearts that a herd of desert antelopes would definitely migrate past.

No one doubted Shen Mu's words.

And at this time.

Shen Mu's figure had already come to the top of the Rhodok castle in the castle area, on the 2-meter-high wooden frame.

Adding the 13-meter-high main building of the castle below, and the 5-meter-high rocky base.

A full 20 meters in height.

He could overlook the surrounding area of more than ten miles, and look up to see the distant urban area, the vast and prosperous city skyline that seemed like mountains!

In order to ensure Shen Mu's safety, two Swadian sergeants wearing sleeveless plate armor and chainmail underneath also climbed up the ladder, wanting to support him.

"Please be careful, Lord Shen Mu, it's very steep here," the Swadian sergeant reminded.

"I know, I don't need you to support me," Shen Mu glanced at the scaffolding that was only half a meter wide and waved his hand, declining the support of the two Swadian sergeants.

After all, looking at these two sergeants wearing full body heavy armor, Shen Mu was worried about the weight alone.

This was just a small episode.

Shen Mu was looking at the archers, crossbowmen, and Lake Rat members below, who had already lined up in the two city gates and could disperse at any time.

"Use item!" Through the mind communication system, he immediately used the item.

A dialog box appeared in front of Shen Mu's eyes.

[Ding! You have used 'Migrating Desert Antelope Herd'.]

[A large herd of desert antelopes coming from north to south is running rapidly through your territory. They are extremely numerous and extremely fast. Therefore, you only have 5 minutes of passage time.]

'Buzz!'

At the same time, a special force of rules began to emerge from the center of Shen Mu's eyebrows.

Then it instantly projected to the northernmost position of the "Dhëreim" town, which belonged to the edge of the town's sphere of influence.

Or rather, the northernmost edge of the area that the Mount \u0026 Blade rules could cover!

'Da da da!'

'Da da da da da!'

'Rumble rumble!'

Then, in Shen Mu's ears, there were some light sounds of tapping the ground.

But the sound grew louder and louder, louder and louder, and closer and closer in Shen Mu's ears.

In the end, he even heard a roar like thousands of troops and horses.

'Swish!'

Right in Shen Mu's eyes, at the northernmost edge of his town's sphere of influence.

Illusory figures appeared instantly.

Then, in just a few seconds, they formed desert antelopes, all yellow-brown, petite in size, but very fast!

['Migrating Desert Antelopes' countdown begins: 00 hours 04 minutes 59 seconds.]

[Hint: Please start hunting as soon as possible!]

The dialog box that appeared in front of Shen Mu awakened his mind, which had been shocked by the scene before him.

"So many?"

Shen Mu thought of the millions of various animals that he had seen migrating in Africa in his previous life on Earth due to the arrival of the dry season.

It was really not much different from the desert antelopes he saw in front of him.

Moreover, these desert antelopes were running fast.

As if something was chasing them from behind.

The sound produced by countless tiny hooves hitting the ground.

Was no less powerful than the momentum created by thousands of light cavalry charging quickly!

'Rumble rumble--'

In droves, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, they began to run quickly from north to south.

Endless, as if it were a real flood tide formed by desert antelopes!

Not to mention Shen Mu, who had just been shocked.

Now, almost all the Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers, as long as they saw this scene, were shaken to the core.

Under the dumbfounded faces of those Rhodok Sharpshooters, Mercenary Crossbowmen, Vaegir Archers, and Lake Rat members.

Those desert antelopes actually brought a rumble that seemed to crush everything, like countless light cavalry charging. On both sides of the city gate, less than seven or eight meters away from them, they surged swiftly towards the south.

This close distance, along with the rumbling sound in their ears, made their eardrums vibrate, greatly reducing their hearing!

Then, within a short range of ten meters, their entire bodies turned into illusory shadows and disappeared!

'Woo—'

But just as everyone was stunned on the spot, their minds blank, a deep and drawn-out howl appeared at the top of the castle.

It was Shen Mu, who had noticed that these crossbowmen hadn't started hunting yet, realizing that they were as shocked as he was, blowing the encouraging horn!

Only this long, penetrating sound could reach the ears of these soldiers, rousing and encouraging their stunned minds, restoring them to normal!

This was the effect of the encouraging horn.

And the effect was very effective!

"Shoot arrows! Shoot arrows! Crossbowmen! What are you doing!?"

"Don't just stand there! Everyone start hunting! Hunt these desert antelopes!"

Bandak and Fatis reacted almost simultaneously.

Although they were also seeing such a surging herd of desert antelopes for the first time, endless and seemingly without end.

But at this moment, hearing the sound of the horn from above the castle.

They directly recovered and began to command the crossbowmen and Lake Rat members around them to hunt these desert antelopes.

'Swish swish swish swish!'

Instantly, arrows rained down.

Whether it was the 50 Tier 3 Rhodok Sharpshooters, or the 50 Tier 3 Mercenary Crossbowmen.

Or the 100 Vaegir Archers.

And the 150 Lake Rat members with hooked javelins and harpoons.

All of them began to throw their ranged weapons.

Quickly and fatally reaping those seemingly mighty desert antelopes, as if countless light cavalry were charging at them, at the city gate of the town of Dhirim!

Just a group of desert antelopes.

Although the momentum was indeed great, and they had never seen such a scale of desert antelope migration.

In the very beginning, they were indeed shocked.

But when they reacted.

A group of war machines that had fought their way out of the Mount \u0026 Blade world re-entered operation mode.

Then how could some desert antelopes possibly stop them!?

Whether it was the Rhodok Sharpshooters' war crossbows or the Mercenary Crossbowmen's war crossbows, every shot would directly kill a desert antelope.

Including the javelins thrown by the Lake Rat members, which could instantly pierce through an antelope.

If they were lucky, they could even directly penetrate two antelopes, causing them to fall on the spot.

However, the best results came from the Vaegir archers.

'Swish swish swish swish!'

Originally Vaegir archers, who were born and raised in the Vaegir snowfields, making a living by hunting, calmly began to draw feather arrows from the quiver behind them.

Then, they drew their high-quality nomadic bows, shooting feather arrows one after another.

Shooting down one desert antelope after another in front of them.

It could be said that it was a leisurely and effortless feeling.

Compared to hunting that still required aiming.

These extremely numerous and seemingly endless migrating desert antelopes were left to them to shoot at will.

Every shot was bound to hit.

Even if they hit non-lethal parts of the body, these fast-running desert antelopes would fall to the ground due to muscle damage.

Then they would be knocked down by the desert antelopes behind them, breaking their necks or legs.

Falling to the ground, becoming a destined trophy.

"This makes me a little regretful that I didn't upgrade those 100 Vaegir villagers into Vaegir ranged shooters."

At the top of the Rhodok castle, Shen Mu held the wooden baffle outside the scaffolding with both hands.

Watching so many desert antelopes passing through, and seeing the Vaegir villagers who could only help in the back, only able to replenish the consumed feather arrows and javelins for the crossbowmen, archers, and Lake Rat members, his face was extremely regretful.

If there were 100 more Vaegir Skirmishers, even, they could hunt more prey!

This way, even if they couldn't eat fresh meat.

They could make smoked meat, or directly use the characteristics of the undead rules to store it in the darkness, and it could maintain its fresh meat state for a long time.

At least in terms of worrying about food spoilage, the current Blue Star world doesn't need to worry at all.

Especially in urban areas.

Just find an underground supermarket, underground parking lot, underground shelter, or something like that, a place where sunlight can't reach.

Inside, there is eternal darkness and gray fog that can't be dissolved, helping to freeze even time!

['Migrating Desert Antelopes' countdown is about to end: 00 hours 00 minutes 30 seconds.]

[Please make sure to do the final finishing work in time.]

At this time, the dialog box popped up in front of Shen Mu again.

Representing that the migration of this large group of desert antelopes is about to end.

However, below, those Rhodok Sharpshooters, Mercenary Crossbowmen, Vaegir Archers, and Lake Rat members were still hunting those desert antelopes.

Outside the east and west gates of the town, there were already many desert antelope corpses lying scattered.

Even because there were too many desert antelopes.

Some Swadian Light Infantry had come to the periphery with long spears and began to stab those desert antelopes, trying to leave as much prey as possible.

After all, it wasn't stipulated that hunting had to be done with bows, crossbows, and javelins.

Long spears were the same.

It's just that the action of stabbing antelopes with long spears was a bit clumsy, and the number of charging desert antelope herds was too, too many.

After several Swadian Light Infantry accidentally sprained their wrists, they became more and more vigilant.

Until the end.

These desert antelopes, rushing wildly like a flood, finally came to an end.

As the last desert antelope turned into an illusion and disappeared into the southern space.

The rumbling sound that shook the eardrums finally disappeared.

Leaving only these Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers.

And the fresh corpses of desert antelopes all over the ground.

"Finally, we can eat fresh meat." Shen Mu smiled at this time.

Inside the town, those Swadian Light Infantry and Vaegir Villagers, who were the most numerous, also came out of the east and west town gates, and began to actively pick up the corpses of these desert antelopes.

Each person could carry two desert antelopes, one on the left and one on the right, and walk towards the town.

But for this time, at least 1,500 desert antelopes were hunted.

Everyone looked happy.

These were all fresh meat.

And in the town, in the past, they couldn't eat meat to their heart's content at every meal.

Those sausages, dried meat, and salted fish were valuable military supplies, and only a little bit could be distributed per capita.

It was only now that they could use windmills to obtain flour.

Otherwise, before, not every soldier could eat bread.

They could only eat boiled wheat porridge to fill their stomachs.

Now that there were so many desert antelopes, as long as they were skinned and the meat was taken, whether roasted or stewed, the taste alone made these Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers happy and more excited to work.

In the Mount \u0026 Blade rules, a variety of foods can also increase morale.

And meat is one of the most significant foods to increase morale!

"The migration of desert antelopes has ended. Now, the town shouldn't have to worry about meat for a short time."

Shen Mu's thoughts at this time were communicating with the system again.

Because in his mind.

In addition to the troop upgrade item 'Designate 200 low-level soldiers to immediately complete promotion'.

Extremely important.

The White Tower's trading permit!
