A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

"Use them all!"

Without hesitation, Shen Mu communicated with the system and chose to use all three rewards immediately.

Now that the rewards were in hand, it was time to cash them in!

‘Buzz!’

As Shen Mu communicated with the system, the power from the Mount \u0026 Blade rules vibrated.

A new dialog box also appeared on Shen Mu's retina at this moment.

【Ding! 20 zealots from the Kingdom of Aedengarde have arrived from the distant continent of Enros, bearing reverence for you and devout faith in the sanctuary.】

【Ding! 500 Swadian villagers, 300 Swadian militiamen, 100 Swadian light infantry, 50 Swadian infantry, and 50 Swadian heavy cavalry have arrived, bearing reverence for you.】

【Ding! Given your +9 legendary reputation in the Kingdom of Swadia, 500 Swadian villagers, 200 Swadian militiamen, 200 Swadian light infantry, and 100 Swadian infantry also joined your ranks during the immigration process.】

【In total, a massive immigration force consisting of 1000 Swadian villagers, 500 Swadian militiamen, 300 Swadian light infantry, 150 Swadian infantry, and 50 Swadian heavy cavalry is on its way; please be ready to receive them.】

The dialog box on Shen Mu's retina refreshed rapidly.

At the same time, after the content finished refreshing, he faintly heard exclamations in his ears.

Shen Mu listened carefully.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

These were clearly the surprised exclamations of the soldiers outside at the arrival of a large number of immigrants.

After all, this was a migration team of 2,000 people.

The reward from this golden treasure chest directly led to a surge in his personnel numbers, after the bloody battle he had just fought!

Which was also equivalent to a surge in strength.

‘Buzz!’

Just as Shen Mu had a smile on his face, a special rhythm emerged from between his eyebrows.

Before Shen Mu could react.

‘Buzz!’

The power from the Mount \u0026 Blade rules instantly spread out.

At the same time, Shen Mu's thoughts seemed to spread out along with this wave.

As it descended on this Rhodok castle and the town of “Dhëreim,” an extremely obvious change occurred—

Around the adjacent areas of the castle and town, this wave landed directly and violently on the ground, transforming into a force that seemed capable of overturning the earth, extinguishing flames, blocking gales, and eliminating water sources, a power that seemed to point directly to the origin of the world!

To the extent that Shen Mu's thoughts, following this powerful wave, realized that this power, which was clearly from the Mount \u0026 Blade rules, was changing this area!

That's right, the change happening around the Rhodok castle and town was a transformation!

The buildings and residential greenery that originally belonged to Blue Star were constantly churning in the wave, as if they were being blasted apart into countless pieces, which were then attached to countless white dots from the Mount \u0026 Blade system, forming a flat plain of land.

Including the north, south, and west sides of the castle and town area, as well as the east side, which still retained a lot of the Abyss's black scab-like land environment!

All were undergoing change!

‘Buzz!’

In what felt like an instant, thousands upon thousands of acres of land around, including the residential area and greenery less than a thousand meters to the west, and the place where the diesel company had set up its lair before, all completely disappeared in this wave.

Only a flat, fertile piece of land remained, a fertile plain where crops could grow well if planted!

‘Buzz!’

The wave was still spreading in all directions.

This area of the entire world seemed to have completed some kind of transformation.

“Wait?” Shen Mu suddenly noticed, for no reason, those tiny gray dots in the sky when he established the Vaegir village of "New Rivacheg" near the Su Family Village to the east.

At this moment, Shen Mu was slightly stunned at the thought level; this idea made him ponder.

Moreover… it really seemed very similar!

Especially at the thought level, watching the land around the town turn into fertile plains at an extremely fast speed, no matter what kind of cement road or concrete building, all being razed to the ground.

Wasn't that almost exactly the same as the desertified land in the original suburban village area, east of Balili River Street in Longcheng City?

The only difference was that here, the change was into fertile plains.

While in the suburbs, the changing terrain, with many places appearing like bald patches on the head, was desertification.

There was no difference in essence!

Both were turning land from the Blue Star world into land from other worlds.

“Could it be that this area is changing towards the land of the Mount \u0026 Blade world?”

Shen Mu thought of this possibility.

Thinking of this, Shen Mu's thought state subconsciously looked towards the east again.

There was still that dark horizon, carrying some kind of suppression from the soul level, even in the Balili River Street area, causing Shen Mu to feel an inexplicable sense of suffocation in his heart.

‘Rumble—’

Even as Shen Mu stared at that side, he could faintly hear some kind of special, strange rumbling sound.

“What’s that sound?” Shen Mu frowned.

The sound gave him the feeling that something was rubbing and producing the sound.

Before Shen Mu could think too much, he saw dozens of tiny dots of light drawing arcs and smashing towards him.

To be precise, most of them were still smashing into the rural areas of the suburbs.

Only a few crossed over his head and fell towards the central area of Balili River Street.

“Hmm? That direction is…” Shen Mu turned his head to look west, his tone slightly strange: “The direction of the diesel company?!”

The direction in which those tiny gray dots fell was the direction of the diesel company!

Thinking back to when he investigated the diesel company, there was a lot of desert terrain appearing nearby, Shen Mu was also thoughtful: “Is it because of the fall of these light spots that a large area of desert appeared near the diesel company?”

It seemed that only this explanation could make sense!

‘Buzz!’

At this time, the wave from the Mount \u0026 Blade system had ended, and Shen Mu, who was still thinking, suddenly came back to his senses.

His thoughts had also returned to his body.

‘Splash!’

Subconsciously raising his hand from the water, directly grabbing the edge of the bathtub, Shen Mu blankly turned his head to look out the window.

It was still the brick wall blocking the view, and the azure blue sky to the east that could be seen just over the top of the wall, where the view was best and the sun could shine in.

Shen Mu had recovered from the state of observing the surroundings with his thoughts.

‘Creak—’

At this time, the door of the bathroom was gently pushed open a crack, and the figure of a Swadian knight appeared there, obviously pushed open by him.

Because he heard the sound of splashing water outside, so he opened the door and scanned the room.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he waved his hand to the outside.

Indicating that the other knights outside who had put their hands on the knight swords on their waists had nothing unusual, and steadily said: “Sir, if there is anything you need, please speak directly, your loyal Swadian knights are always waiting outside the door, ready to follow your orders.”

“Yeah, nothing’s wrong.” Shen Mu understood at this time that his actions had been a bit intense just now, attracting their inquiry.

He calmly answered and waved his hand to let the conscientious Swadian knight close the door again.

But when closing it, he casually reminded: “After dinner is cooked, there is no need to knock on the door to remind me to eat, I will go out to eat dinner myself after I finish washing.”

“Understood.” The Swadian knight nodded and then gently closed the door.

The entire room returned to silence again.

‘Splash.’

Shen Mu then scooped up clear water and quickly washed from his hair to his body, and did not continue to stay here to soak in the bath.

Although soaking in the bath was indeed very comfortable.

But now, Shen Mu still wanted to see what the reward was this time.

“The rewards from 3 golden treasure chests, just thinking about it is a bit exciting.” Shen Mu picked up a towel and wiped his body dry.

He casually grabbed a luxurious yet light noble robe and put it on, using a belt to cinch the waist. Looking at the relatively clear bathwater beside him,

a youthful, handsome, and dignified image vaguely appeared on the surface of the water, greatly satisfying him.

This Blue Star world's version of himself was similar to the one on Earth, both being the refined and handsome type.

After some subtle adjustments brought about by the Saint Tree Knight template,

and the medieval-style velvet robe he was now wearing,

he indeed possessed extraordinary bearing.

Shen Mu was quite satisfied with his current appearance. Only then did he push open the door and walk out, arriving outside the noble residence amidst the greetings of the Swadian knights.

At this moment, countless villagers and troops were entering through the west gate in somewhat orderly queues.

Many Swadian light infantrymen were maintaining order.

But the number of immigrants who had come this time was truly too large.

A full 2,000 people.

Swadian civilians alone numbered 1,000, not to mention the large number of Swadian militia and Swadian light infantry, which totaled nearly 800.

Adding in 150 Tier 4 Swadian infantrymen and 50 Swadian heavy cavalrymen,

the number of troops who had come this time, not comparing the quality aspect, was comparable to the size of Shen Mu's current forces!

"This truly feels like striking it rich."

At this moment, Shen Mu stood at the entrance of the noble residence, watching the more than 2,000 people who were following commands and entering the city gate, the smile on his lips impossible to suppress.

This represented a wave of significant enhancement from the system after experiencing a battle and having his strength slightly weakened!

Just as Shen Mu was nodding in satisfaction, a new dialogue box appeared before his eyes.

[Ding! Your town "Dhërim" now has a population of over 2,000, so the name of this new town is spreading throughout the Calradia continent. When people talk about this topic, there seems to be a bit more longing in their eyes.]

[Ding! Due to the development of your town "Dhërim", 3 travelers and adventurers from the Calradia continent, after hearing about your town in the tavern, have decided to come and join you!]

The content in the dialogue box refreshed.

"3 travelers and adventurers from the Calradia continent are coming to join me."

Shen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the content in the dialogue box, the expression in his eyes becoming even more pleasantly surprised.

This was truly a series of surprises!

It was said that they were 3 travelers and adventurers, but for Shen Mu, weren't they just the same as generals!?

"I just don't know who they are."

Shen Mu thought about the generals in the Mount \u0026 Blade Warband world, none of them were useless. Basically, they were geniuses in their respective fields selected from the entire world, except for the protagonist!

Moreover, they were all geniuses in their down-and-out period. As long as they were properly nurtured,

they could all grow into excellent generals who could stand alone in their respective fields!

"Greetings, Lord Shen Mu."

Just as Shen Mu was standing at the entrance of the noble residence, preparing to go and see the immigrants and troops who had come this time, Manid hurriedly walked out from the side door.

Seeing Shen Mu, Manid had a smile on his face. After quickly walking over to salute, he said:

"More immigrants from the Kingdom of Swadia have come this time, and there are many of them. Mr. Bunduk and Knight Firentis have already gone ahead to maintain order. I also plan to go over and count the civilians and soldiers, and then report to you."

As the town's mayor, Manid was currently still worried about how to cultivate the abandoned farmlands outside.

Now that so many immigrants had come, including over a thousand ordinary civilians, it was equivalent to adding a thousand townspeople to Dhërim.

All were civilian units.

They were allocable personnel units that could be arranged by Manid, the temporary acting mayor, to go and engage in agricultural production work.

He was of course very happy.

This not only solved the problem of him being a lone commander,

but also allowed the abandoned farmlands outside to be cultivated. These abandoned farmlands could be reintegrated into production in the shortest amount of time, and after sowing, they could wait for the autumn harvest.

Plus, the construction work in Dhërim also required manpower.

Weren't these all readily available?

Manid was of course happy!

"Okay, you go ahead and get busy. I'll just take a look around."

Shen Mu nodded, also encouraging Manid a few words.

Without much chat,

Shen Mu let Manid go back to work, counting the civilians and soldiers, and then allocating various residences and building temporary tents and other trivial matters.

As for Shen Mu himself, he once again came to the city wall in the castle area.

Surrounded by 5 Swadian knights and 5 Saint Tree knights, he looked at the surrounding land environment that had already changed on the city wall, and a look of "indeed, as expected" appeared on his face.

"Indeed... as expected."

Shen Mu looked around.

The originally relatively empty land, within a range of several thousand meters, no longer had any traces of the original Blue Star world.

Those residential buildings, storefronts, small convenience stores, and other buildings that had previously remained on the west side, along with the greenery, fences, community walls, and even things like cement roads, asphalt roads, and sewer pipes, had all vanished without a trace.

There was not the slightest trace.

Only flat, uncultivated land, covered with small shrubs and greenery everywhere, appeared around Dhërim.

On the city wall, no matter which section of the city wall you looked out from, you could see this continuous expanse of flat land.

If there were experienced farmers here, they would not be able to help but clap their hands and laugh.

Because these flat, uncultivated lands were the highest quality fertile soil. As long as they were cultivated, the land was carefully plowed and harrowed, and then carefully fertilized and cared for, it would become the highest quality farmland.

Whether it was planting staple crops such as wheat or barley, or planting coarse grains such as oats and beans,

or vegetable crops such as carrots, cabbage, and pumpkins,

it was all the best soil and farmland!

Even if a piece of land was allocated here to plant apple trees and harvest apples,

or if nothing was done and some weed seeds were scattered casually, allowing this place to become a grassland with rampant weeds, providing fodder for animal husbandry, it would still work.

This was a top-quality fertile land where everything could be harvested abundantly!

"Not bad."

Because Shen Mu had the implanted memories of a Saint Tree Knight, he also had some understanding of agriculture. Therefore, at this time, he couldn't help but nod lightly, quite satisfied with this fertile land.

At this time, even the Saint Tree knights and Swadian knights behind him whispered a few words about these fertile lands.

"This is truly top-quality land. If wheat can be planted here, there will definitely be a bumper harvest!"

"This kind of land, which you can tell is top-quality at a glance, if it were placed in my hometown, it is estimated that two knights like us would even initiate a knightly duel to compete for it."

"Who says otherwise? If this wasn't the land owned by Mr. Shen Mu, I would also want to get my hands on it."

"Even Ironoak Castle, where the Sacred White Oak is located, doesn't have this level of fertile land."

"That would have to be the fertile land in the heartland of the Kingdom of Pendor, right?"

"It seems that this place has not yet been cultivated. It is truly the protection from the Sacred White Oak that allows Lord Shen Mu to possess such fertile land."

"That's right, this is the protection of the gods for Lord Shen Mu!"

These Saint Tree knights and Swadian knights all understood what such fertile land represented.

Although there was envy in their eyes, they were also full of affirmation that Shen Mu possessed this fertile land.

In their eyes, this was originally the fertile land that Shen Mu, this legendary figure, should possess, it was only natural!

However, just as these knights were whispering, Shen Mu was slightly stunned.

Because in his eyes, a new dialogue box appeared at this time.

[Ding! The system has detected an event! Temporary mission issued—Great Reclamation!]

[Mission Name: Great Reclamation]

[Mission Brief: You have obtained a large area of fertile land. This land and your previous fields and abandoned lands have all become connected. If they can be reclaimed and all turned into farmland, then for the agriculture of your town "Dhërim", it will definitely be a sufficient step forward.]

[Mission Requirements: Reclaim all cultivable land into farmland.]

[Mission Reward: Gentle rain from spring will nourish the land (special rule).]

【Prompt: This spring drizzle will have a beneficial effect on all plants within your town. Please cherish this reward.】

The content that appeared in the dialog box was a temporary mission from the Mount \u0026 Blade system.

This made Shen Mu raise his eyebrows slightly.

"As long as I reclaim land, I can get an extraordinary spring drizzle?"

Shen Mu pondered the reward and the additional prompt from the Mount \u0026 Blade system: "Including all plants within the town, it will have a beneficial effect?"

This made Shen Mu subconsciously turn his head and look at the central location of the town area.

Not far from the noble's mansion, the Crescent Spring pond!

To be precise, it should be the edge of the Crescent Spring pond, next to the ten or so date palm trees, the 'Sacred White Oak Seed' that had already been buried in the sand.

"If it has a beneficial effect on all plants, doesn't that mean that my Sacred White Oak Seed, which has already been planted and is slowly germinating, but has not yet grown into a seedling, can also promote growth?"

Shen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly.

If that's the case, then he would focus on this temporary mission.

After all, as long as the Sacred White Oak seed germinates, it means that Shen Mu can obtain different rewards.

And the highest level reward for the Sacred White Oak's growth is the Sacred Tree Knight Order from the Mount \u0026 Blade: Pendor world, a complete, tree-level unit of all arms, pledging allegiance to him!

The Sacred Tree Knight Order that Shen Mu can fully lead!

From infantry to archers, and then to the proud cavalry system, it is called a Knight Order, but in reality, it is a military organization with a full range of arms!

"It's exciting just thinking about it." Shen Mu reached out and patted the stone-built crenellation of the city wall, feeling excited.

He didn't think that the more power he controlled, the more of a burden it would be to him.

This was clearly more choices!

While Shen Mu was pondering, under the city wall, the large number of immigrants, as many as 2,000 people, had already been simply arranged by Marnid with their respective residences and the troops to be stationed next.

Since most of the town area was still empty, flax cloth could be brought over to serve as tents, and a lot of wheat straw stored could be used as mats on the ground, allowing five or six soldiers to sleep inside, barely accommodating them.

This was also thanks to the fact that the current Blue Star had no spring, summer, autumn, or winter, and there was no rain or snow.

As long as they hid in the tent, with the soft wheat straw as a cushion, and after eating their fill, they could put on cotton robes or long robes and sleep soundly, and when they woke up the next day, it would be a new day.

It was quite easy to deal with.

There was no other way, whether they were Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers from the Warband world, or Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers from the Overlord world, or even Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers from the Pendor world, none of them would say much about this.

Being able to eat their fill was already very good.

In the continent where they were, it was not that there were no wars, and even wars were quite frequent.

And when experiencing war, not to mention sleeping in such simple tents, sleeping on these cheap straw piles.

Even sleeping in muddy trenches, sleeping next to smelly dung pits, sleeping in battlefields full of corpses, were all common occurrences!

If they encountered the heavy rain in the Swadian region, the floods in the Rhodok mountains, the continuous rain in the Nord region, the icy snow in the Vaegir region, the cold wind in the Khergit region, or the desert heat in the Sarranid region.

Wouldn't they still grit their teeth and endure it, just getting through it?

Now, having a tent, being able to eat their fill, and even having straw piles as a cushion under their bodies when sleeping, without worrying about the cold ground.

This treatment was already very good!

Coming to this other world, these soldiers from various Mount \u0026 Blade worlds had long been prepared for the worst.

Coming to join Lord Shen Mu was to use their courage and weapons to fight for a future for themselves.

At least for now.

They were still in the fighting stage.

Everyone was very satisfied with the current life.

Especially when the kitchen had already distributed all the prepared bread and wheat porridge, as well as boiled carrots, onions, cabbage, pumpkins, and other vegetables, sprinkled with salt, everyone received a large bowl of steaming food.

Everyone felt quite good!

"Come on, let me introduce you to Lord Shen Mu, this legendary figure!"

Just as Shen Mu was pondering, Fatis's excited voice came from the stairwell of the city wall next to him.

And there were also several footsteps approaching.

Shen Mu turned his head to look.

Fatis was walking in the front, followed by Bunduk and Marnid, and two other unfamiliar figures.

One was also wearing chainmail, with his flat-topped helmet tucked under his arm, a knight's sword at his waist, blond hair and blue eyes, about 25 years old, and quite handsome.

One was wearing a gray-black linen robe, holding a travel staff, with a spiked mace inserted into his black belt, about 30 years old.

"This is Lord Shen Mu!" Fatis led the two of them over, then respectfully saluted Shen Mu before nodding to the two and saying, "We have heard of him before, the legendary figure who conquered other worlds!"

"Greetings, Lord Shen Mu!"

The two raised their heads, saw Shen Mu turn around and look at them, immediately took two quick steps forward, then stood in front of Shen Mu and bowed respectfully, saying extremely respectfully:

"Alayen/Jeremus, pay our respects to you! Great Lord Shen Mu!"

"Hmm?" Shen Mu looked at the two at this time, and was also slightly taken aback when he heard their names: "Alayen, Jeremus?"

"Yes, Lord Shen Mu, it is us." Alayen and Jeremus both replied respectfully.

"Very good, I have heard of your names." Shen Mu's lips curled slightly, and he gestured for the two to end their salutes and stand up again.

At the same time, Shen Mu looked at the young man wearing chainmail, with a handsome face, and as valiant as Fatis, and nodded in satisfaction, saying: "I have heard of you, a knight from the Kingdom of Vaegirs, upholding the knight's virtues, even when wandering outside, you will never do anything that insults the knight's virtues and behavior."

"Of course, Great Lord Shen Mu, I am a true knight, the noble virtues of a knight are the morals I adhere to!"

Alayen was immediately excited when he heard Shen Mu's words.

This was Shen Mu's affirmation of him.

Especially when he was in the Kingdom of Vaegirs, because he was the eldest son who was not liked by his father, he was actually poisoned by his stepmother in conjunction with his half-brother to try to harm him, and because he went to his father to accuse him, he was instead slandered and expelled from the family.

Alayen had been wandering ever since, and was always concerned about these things that violated the knight's virtues.

He had always been adhering to the noble virtues of a knight.

But the final result was that he, Alayen, was exiled, and even the King of the Kingdom of Vaegirs, when he heard about this, chose his father and stepmother because of the interests involved.

Now, Shen Mu, the legendary figure who had always been circulating in all of Calradia, had expressed his affirmation of him.

This was tantamount to Alayen's recognition.

How could he not be excited?

So much so that now, Alayen immediately drew out the knight's sword from his waist, knelt on one knee and presented it to Shen Mu with both hands, saying in an extremely solemn tone:

"Lord Shen Mu, because your recognition has allowed me to find the path in my life, this knight's sword was a coming-of-age gift from my birth mother, and it is also my most precious thing. Now, I am willing to give it to you, representing my highest respect for you!"

This action made Fatis next to him gasp slightly.

In Calradia, giving away one's own sword, and kneeling down, offering one's sword over one's head, represents submission and allegiance.

In Fatis's impression, Alayen, who had always been arrogant, actually had such a move, which did surprise him.

"I accept your respect, Alayen."

Shen Mu at this time, through the Sacred Tree Knight's template, also perceived in his mind this supreme respect and oath of allegiance for a knight.

Reaching forward, he took the knight's sword that Alayen was holding over his head with both hands.

It was heavy in his hand.

Looking at the gleaming, undamaged blade, he knew Alayen's usual care, as well as the superior quality of the forging.

But there was no trace of greed on Shen Mu's face.

Instead, after picking it up, he once again aimed the knight's sword at Airein and said in a deep voice, "I also accept your allegiance to me, Airein. In this dangerous other world, I need your loyalty to fight for me."

Pausing slightly, Shen Mu tapped the knight's sword on Airein's shoulder and said earnestly:

"Now, take this knight's sword, which is extremely important to both of us, and become a sharp blade to eliminate the enemy in the upcoming battle!"

"I am willing to use my life to protect my oath of allegiance to you!" Airein lowered his head, took the knight's sword, directly inserted it back into its sheath, and stood up straight.

However, at this time, this 25-year-old, who can still be considered a young man, had a solemn expression.

His eyes were slightly red.

Standing to the side, he looked at Shen Mu with great admiration, his eyes filled with extreme fervor.

"Mm." Shen Mu nodded calmly to this.

He's just a young man.

Young people of this age look very lightly on money and status.

Instead, they place great importance on recognition and respect.

Moreover, because of the betrayal of his relatives, he had been wandering outside for so long, he had long been somewhat cynical and overly insistent on his own heart.

Therefore, as long as you recognize him, affirm him, and acknowledge him, you can gain his allegiance.

"Lord Shen Mu, I am James from Calradia, skilled in medicine and some religious concepts, and also understand some natural medicine."

At this time, as Shen Mu looked at James, this medical scientist in his thirties quickly and respectfully bowed again, introducing himself.

"Mm, hello James." Shen Mu nodded.

In his heart, looking at this doctor, who could be considered the best in the Mount \u0026 Blade warband world, the smile on the corner of his mouth appeared again.

"I understand some medical skills, and I am also studying some religious and natural secret arts."

James also took the initiative to talk about Fatis, introducing him very seriously: "Before, I also suggested that Knight Fatis try to have faith in God or nature, but I found that this time we met, Knight Fatis no longer has the depression he once had, and has obviously received sufficient comfort here with you, Lord Shen Mu, which is really good."

James was introducing the friendly relationship between him and Fatis in the background story.

After all, Fatis personally killed his own younger brother.

Therefore, he was tormented in his heart.

"Very good." Shen Mu nodded, without saying much: "James, I am very happy about your joining. My soldiers need treatment and assistance, and your arrival is very timely."

"I will do my best." James bowed again, placing his hand on his chest.

Compared to Airein's solemn allegiance just now.

James's allegiance was much more ordinary.

But the effect was the same.

Whether it was the Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers from the Mount \u0026 Blade world, or these generals in front of him, they all had a bottom line of constant loyalty to Shen Mu because they were bound by the Mount \u0026 Blade system and Mount \u0026 Blade rules.

Just at this moment, James suddenly spoke again, his tone still somewhat hesitant: "Lord Shen Mu…"

"What?" Shen Mu looked at him: "Speak."

"When I came to your town, I happened to encounter 20 special Templar zealots on the road who, according to them, believed in the Holy Light." James's tone was somewhat hesitant at this time.

"Mm?" Shen Mu certainly knew that the 20 Templar zealots who James was talking about who believed in the Holy Light were actually the mage-type troops of the Aedengard Kingdom's Templar system in the Mount \u0026 Blade Warband world.

After all, this was the first time he had obtained troops with extraordinary powers who could cast spells.

So Shen Mu asked: "James, you encountered them, do you have anything to say?"

After all, James's tone was quite hesitant at this time, obviously there was something he wanted to say.

Shen Mu could see it.

"Yes, Lord Shen Mu."

James also nodded lightly at this time: "When I came, I discussed some beliefs about religion and magic with them, and I learned that these zealots who believe in the Holy Light seem to possess a special ability to release the so-called power of the Holy Light to heal diseases and restore injuries."

"Mm, I know they have this ability." Shen Mu nodded.

"Release the Holy Light, heal diseases and restore injuries?" However, right beside him, Bandak, Fatis, and Marnid looked at each other, and they all saw the surprise in each other's eyes, as well as a kind of reverence when they subconsciously looked at Shen Mu.

Because the three of them clearly saw this power also being released by Shen Mu, this legendary figure.

Only Airein, who joined later, frowned slightly at this time. Coming from a world without magic, he didn't understand what James was talking about now.

He just felt it was a bit absurd.

"After discussion, I realized that this power doesn't seem to be difficult."

James continued to speak at this time, his tone also a little ashamed:

"I feel that my medical skills seem to be too far behind those healing spells. If possible, I would like to apply to you, Lord Shen Mu, please allow me to learn from those zealots from the Aedengard Kingdom how to use magic."

"How to learn to use magic? Of course, that's fine."

Shen Mu was slightly stunned, and just smiled and nodded in agreement to James's request.

However, Shen Mu looked at James and asked in a somewhat strange tone: "Just now you said that you think that power seems to be… not difficult?"

That was the Holy Light Healing Technique, a healing-type spell, and James's evaluation was actually not difficult.

It really surprised Shen Mu.

"Yes, Lord Shen Mu, in my opinion, it is not difficult."

James nodded, his tone also very confident: "Although they say that you need to have a devout belief in the Holy Light to feel the magical power bestowed by the Holy Light, I found that as long as you maintain a devout heart for the healing of patients, you can then form that special structure to form the mysterious power of healing!"

"Very good."

Shen Mu smiled and nodded when he saw James's affirmative words: "If you can learn it, then I will be even happier, James, don't let me down."

"Thank you for your recognition, Lord Shen Mu!"

James placed his hand on his chest and bowed again at this time: "I will not let you down!"

This was not a bad thing for Shen Mu.

James himself was a very good doctor, but restricted by the level of medicine in the Middle Ages, he was able to treat and heal the soldiers, but to be honest, the effect was just so-so.

It really couldn't compare to Shen Mu's use of Group Healing.

But at this time, James actually said that he could learn healing spells through those zealots from the Aedengard Kingdom, this high-magic Mount \u0026 Blade Warband world.

It really exceeded Shen Mu's expectations.

"By the way." Shen Mu pondered slightly at this time and made arrangements: "Let those 20 zealots live in the Holy Light Torch Tower. Including James, the extremely important Holy Light Torch Tower will be handed over to James and these 20 zealots to maintain."

"Understood." Marnid, who was in charge of all daily work in front of Shen Mu, nodded.

"Understood." James responded in the same way beside him.

"Also, Marnid, try to put the land reclamation work outside on the agenda as soon as possible." Shen Mu said to Marnid at this time: "I need all of it to be reclaimed into farmland, and then complete the sowing."

"Understood, I will focus on arranging the reclamation work next." Marnid nodded seriously: "We now have 1,000 Swadian commoners and 500 Swadian militiamen, which is not difficult."

"Very good." Shen Mu nodded at this point.

Then, after chatting briefly, he returned to the noble residence in the town area.

Tonight, he would dine with his five generals.

While welcoming the arrival of Airein and James, it was also to celebrate the victory of this battle.

This was a truly significant victory in the Blue Star world!
