A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

Thus, under the lead of Shen Mu, who once again took the lead in rushing towards the city gate, Fatis and Allen slashed left and right, killing and wounding more pig-headed people under their horses' hooves.

"Let's go!" He led the other Swadian knights and Holy Tree knights away together.

The whole process took only two or three minutes.

Once again, the horseshoes thundered on the ground, and a group of 22 knights rushed out of the city gate, leaving behind a cloud of sand and dust, and ran towards the edge of the desert outside.

After merging with the 200 heavy cavalrymen who came to meet them, they completely disappeared on the main road.

Only the bloody smell permeated inside the city gate of the Beastman tribe, and nearly forty or fifty pig-headed people lay scattered on the ground, either dead or wounded.

Even more pig-headed people looked at each other at this time, unable to speak as they watched the human heavy cavalry completely disappear.

For these pig-headed people, although they had already prepared for this sudden attack,

the preparation seemed extremely hasty.

Moreover, the opponent's attack was really well-prepared and targeted, cutting off the door hinges that affected their retreat, and also using the group Stone Skin spell, a natural talent spell that only they, the pig-headed people, possessed, bringing absolute defensive capabilities.

Among them, the red light emerging from the knights' swords also brought absolute lethality.

These pig-headed people never expected such a turn of events.

The resulting effect

was really no different from being ambushed!

Even the nominal Minister of the Transportation Department, who had already retired to the second line and had only been signing documents for more than a year without taking on any tasks,

felt somewhat dazed at this time.

Fortunately, because of his old age and physical weakness, he did not stand with those pig-headed people, but instead watched the battle from the city wall with his twenty or so trusted pig-headed elite leaders, planning to close the gate and beat the dog.

But they failed to beat the dog; instead, the more than 300 pig-headed people he led were beaten to pieces.

Their appearance was even more miserable!

This really made the old minister swallow hard as he turned his head and looked at the disappearing backs of the human heavy cavalry, his tone somewhat off:

"The newly emerged human lord, I feel that his strength is a bit unusual…"

This old minister had experienced conflicts and wars with the Green Leaf Group.

He had also experienced the war with the Skeleton Legion that poured out from the subway station in Longcheng City, claiming to be the vanguard of the Seventh Dynasty, known as the Black Arrow Tower.

Therefore, he had a relatively clear understanding of the strength of the troops in the Bali River area and Longcheng City.

The heavy cavalry that appeared now, with both men and horses wearing heavy armor, and their skilled horsemanship and charging techniques, actually made this old minister feel that their strength had improved, and he and the pig-headed people around him could hardly keep up.

"Is it because the rules of the world have changed due to those repeated Black Tide washes?"

This old minister thought of some information he had exchanged with the pig-headed shaman who was about to die when he followed the old general manager into the Star Realm before, and his eyes became even more solemn.

However, in a flash, this old minister thought of his current state, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

"Whatever."

This old Transportation Department minister sighed: "I hope this old bone of mine can enjoy my old age peacefully, that's enough.

Leave everything to the young people, I won't bother anymore."

This old minister planned to lie flat, hoping to enjoy his old age peacefully and die smoothly in the end.

He stepped forward and waved his hand casually.

He said with a tiredness that he couldn't hide in his tone: "You help these dead and wounded pig-headed people, give me the statistics of the casualties, and then I will explain the situation to the general manager."

"Hmph, hmph! Understood!" The few Blue Star humans around him nodded at this time.

They grunted like pigs and walked down the city wall to count the casualties.

Compared to the sorrowful emotions on the Diesel Company's side,

on the main road of Bali River Street,

Shen Mu and the others, who had completed the raid and were withdrawing from this area, all had smiles on their faces, and everyone's mood was quite cheerful.

Especially Allen, who had just joined and participated in the battle for the first time, was even more excited and beaming.

"This is truly a victory that makes one's blood boil!"

Allen reached out and took off his thickened flat-topped helmet from his head, looked at his old friend Fatis beside him, and said with a big laugh:

"At that time, when I rushed in and raised my knight's sword, those ugly pig-headed people were actually stunned, and they didn't even raise the weapons in their hands, so I directly stabbed my long sword into its head!"

Allen admired combat more than Fatis, and was even more enthusiastic about the killing in this kind of combat.

Although a knight is a noble class, he is essentially a combat unit.

Having undergone rigorous training from a young age for the purpose of riding on a warhorse and killing enemies, Allen was extremely satisfied with the killing just now.

Especially under the leadership of Shen Mu, this legendary figure, they charged into the enemy's city gate together.

Not only did they kill the enemy,

but they also recaptured the gate and left.

This kind of battle result, as long as it is placed on the Calradia continent, is almost going to be sung by the bards of the entire continent, a very courageous act!

"Indeed, we were all great just now."

Fatis nodded gently beside him, with a smile on his face as well.

After all, he was also a participant.

It's just that his personality is more calm and stable, not as fanatical as Allen, and he can still calm down.

However, behind them, the Swadian knights and heavy cavalrymen were all praising each other, chatting quite lively on their warhorses, and occasionally bursting into laughter.

In comparison, the Holy Tree knights and Holy Tree cavalrymen were all whispering softly.

Although it was obvious that they could still detect their excitement, they still seemed very dignified.

Fatis and Allen also saw this.

"Who are they?" Allen asked Fatis, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Before, I saw them using spears and swords very skillfully when they charged, they looked very strong."

"Members of the Holy Tree Knight Order."

Fatis briefly introduced these Holy Tree cavalrymen.

"The Holy Tree Knight Order from the world of Pendor?" Allen was thoughtful, and couldn't help but look at Shen Mu's back in front, with a look of admiration on his face: "Lord Shen Mu is really amazing, even knights from other worlds are willing to follow Lord Shen Mu to fight."

"This fully reflects the personal charm of Lord Shen Mu."

Fatis also nodded in agreement.

However, Shen Mu, who was riding his warhorse at the forefront, had a dialog box appear in front of him at this time.

[Ding! Congratulations! You and your troops have successfully entered the enemy's city gate and collapsed and defeated their formation in front of many enemies, a truly commendable act of courage!]

[Ding! Congratulations! You have completed this temporary task and received a reward of — 10,000 denars.]

[Ding! Congratulations! You and your troops have won this battle and achieved an amazing victory! After system evaluation, you have obtained — Silver Treasure Chest × 2.]

"Perfect."

Shen Mu looked at the content in the dialog box at this time, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he was really happy this time.

Now, nothing makes him happier than denars.

At least now that Shen Mu has 26,000 denars in hand, the original feeling of depression because he didn't have enough money to build a town or upgrade soldiers has finally eased a lot.

"Money is indeed a man's courage."

Shen Mu couldn't help but click his tongue.

If it weren't for the lack of money,

he wouldn't have dared to take the risk, seeing the open city gate and rushing in for a wave of raids.

Shen Mu's original plan was to see the situation, to see if the opponent's defense was strict or not, and whether there were any special traps.

After all, Shen Mu was also clear.

He was going to carry out a sneak attack before dark, and what he agreed with Zhang Caidong was to tell him about it ten minutes before launching the sneak attack.

Even if those pig-headed people reacted quickly, it was impossible for them to deploy too many defenses in time.

So it was very beneficial to his sneak attack.

For example, just now, Shen Mu led the knights to confirm that there were no ambushes, so he boldly carried out the first plan, directly rushing in, destroying the simple city gate, and going in to fight.

Then, they successfully completed the mission, turned around and ran, not giving the enemy too much time to react.

What mattered was speed and efficiency.

If they encountered an enemy ambush or encirclement that was difficult to deal with,

Shen Mu would directly lead the knights away, without any intention of stopping or charging into the city gates.

It didn't matter if they didn't complete the mission.

The key was that his battlefield ambush would allow Zhang Caidong, who had already sneaked back in, to gain the trust of the Diesel Company, laying an important seed for his future attack on the Diesel Company.

Therefore, for the sake of the future, Shen Mu was willing to give up this mission.

“I just didn’t expect those pig-headed men to open the city gate so stupidly, wanting me to come in for a ‘close the door and beat the dog’ tactic. Did they really think I couldn’t see through it?”

Thinking of this, Shen Mu couldn't help but curl his lips.

He had simply used their trick against them, and happened to complete the mission, not only rushing in to kill some pig-headed men, severely damaging their morale,

but also completing the mission, earning 10,000 denars, and covering Zhang Caidong.

Killing three birds with one stone!

“Oh, right, it should be killing four birds with one stone.” Shen Mu’s retina flashed at this moment: “After all, this battle was clean and swift, and the system also rewarded me with 2 silver treasure chests.”

Then, communicating with the system, he directly chose to open these 2 silver treasure chests.

‘Buzz!’

‘Buzz!’

Right before Shen Mu's eyes, the outlines of 2 silver treasure chests gradually became clearer on his retina.

And slowly opened, releasing a silver-white light from the gap.

Finally, it turned into a dialog box, floating in front of Shen Mu's eyes.

[Ding! Congratulations! You have opened 'Silver Treasure Chest' × 2, you have obtained the following rewards—]

[① 2000 denars.]

[② 2000 denars.]

The content in the dialog box froze.

“Heh heh.” A faint smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Shen Mu’s mouth: “Not bad.”

Indeed, not bad.

Now, adding these 4000 denars, he already possessed a huge sum of 30,000 denars.

Even in the Calradia continent, it was enough capital for him to open 3 velvet factories!

“In that case, after going back, I can also properly build a batch of buildings, making my empty town area become substantial.”

Shen Mu was now completely focused on how to spend the money: “Of course, that also includes upgrading all the soldiers that can be upgraded!”

Just as Shen Mu was feeling invigorated, he had just turned past a commercial super complex.

Because there happened to be a building blocking the little remaining sunlight.

In this shadow, the sky suddenly darkened.

“Hmm?” Shen Mu frowned slightly. In this dim shadow, as he galloped on horseback, he seemed to notice something appearing before his eyes…

But when Shen Mu looked carefully, his eyes narrowed slightly: “Gray mist!?”

Shen Mu tightened the reins.

He subconsciously raised his arm and placed his hand on the hilt of the knight's sword at his waist.

“Lord?” Following Shen Mu’s vigilant action, Fatis and Allen, who were accompanying him, as well as those sharp-eyed knights, immediately noticed his movement.

One by one, they subconsciously raised their arms and placed their hands on the hilt of their swords.

And looked around warily.

Along with the Swadian heavy cavalry and the Sacred Tree cavalry behind them, they all raised the lances in their hands one by one, looking around with considerable vigilance.

All were prepared.

“Be careful.” Shen Mu turned his head at this moment and looked towards the edge of the building.

The setting sun was still struggling to release the last bit of dim yellow light, scattering it on the top floor of this building, but because it was about to fall below the horizon, it could no longer scatter the light to the bottom floor.

However, Shen Mu didn't care about the setting sun.

Instead, as he spurred his horse forward, he looked at the shadows formed by this building, at the wisps and strands of gray mist that were extremely obvious in his eyes, and his expression gradually became solemn.

Even when he released his hand from the sword hilt and slowly reached forward.

He really seemed to have caught a trace of tiny gray mist in the palm of his hand, carrying a chill that made his soul feel icy.

It even made Shen Mu's back feel a little chilly.

Because according to the memories of his predecessor, this kind of gray mist was impossible to appear before the sun went down.

Even if it was still in the shadows now, it was impossible to appear.

“Gray mist is also a manifestation of the necromantic rules. Combined with complete darkness, when the medium is achieved, necromantic monsters can descend.”

Shen Mu whispered according to his predecessor's memory: “Unless in the underground without sunlight, the necromantic rules replace the darkness, and then gray mist is born from the darkness, and finally various necromantic monsters will descend… In other words, if there is no darkness, there is no gray mist.”

Along with Shen Mu's whispering, he looked at the subtle but definitely existing wisps of gray mist in front of him.

Not only did his back feel cold, but his scalp was also a little numb: “But the problem is, there is no darkness now, so how did these gray mists come from?”

Shen Mu subconsciously looked at the huge, roughly seven or eight-story commercial super complex covering more than ten acres in the shadows, looking at the completely dark interiors of the sealed-off partitions next to the main road that had not yet been opened, and became thoughtful.

“Could it be that the gray mist is spreading out from that commercial super complex?”

Just at this moment, a wave of faint heat suddenly emerged from Shen Mu's entire body.

It was because the Sacred Tree Knight armor, which had been added with mithril, began to burn.

“Lord Shen Mu, something’s not right.” At this time, the 10 Sacred Tree Knights spoke in a deep voice, while looking at the huge commercial super complex, gritting their teeth and saying: “There seems to be something evil inside, spying on us!”

“Hmm.” Shen Mu nodded, as the burning sensation on his body gradually intensified.

He also guessed that there must be a problem in that commercial super complex, which had countless partitions, and was dark even on the first floor, which caused the Sacred Tree Knight armor on his body to feel a burning sensation.

After all, wisps of gray mist had already appeared in this shadow.

The closer they got to the commercial super complex, the more gray mist permeated.

When Shen Mu and the 10 Sacred Tree Knights quickly spurred their horses past, rushed past this commercial super complex, and crossed a road used for separation, a little bit of the setting sun's afterglow scattered over.

The originally pervasive gray mist completely disappeared.

Or rather.

In this area without the commercial super complex, there was no gray mist permeating, and everything returned to normal.

Even on Shen Mu and the 10 Sacred Tree Knights behind him, there was no longer the burning sensation on the Sacred Tree Knight armor that had been added with mithril.

“Lord, I think it’s going to be dark soon.” At this time, beside Shen Mu, Fatis interrupted his thoughts:

“Do we need to find a place to temporarily hide? After all, I see that if we want to return to the town, it will take at least 20 minutes, and I'm afraid we won't make it in time.”

The setting sun now only had a little bit of afterglow shining.

It was obvious that it was about to enter the night.

After all, Fatis had been living in this Blue Star world for quite a while.

Therefore, he knew that once this world entered the night, it would be replaced by the necromantic rules.

The darkness that seemed to have solidified from ancient times until now would occupy everything in this world without a light source, and then produce a dense gray mist that was so thick that one couldn't see their fingers.

Combined, it would also attract terrifying necromantic monsters.

Indeed, they needed to be cautious.

Their current journey back to the town would still take about 20 minutes.

The situation was relatively critical.

They didn't know what they would encounter in the darkness.

It would be better to really find a place to hide nearby, allowing these 200 or so people to stay for one night, and wait until the next day, when it was bright, the sunlight dispelled the necromantic rules, and then safely return.

Shen Mu certainly agreed with Fatis's suggestion.

“Okay, then let’s find a place nearby.” Shen Mu raised his head and saw a residential complex not far away, and pointed to it, saying: “Let’s go there, find a room to stay for one night, so as not to have any trouble appear.”

“Understood.” Fatis nodded, and then led everyone to the residential complex.

The sound of horses' hooves echoed, and the afterglow overhead became weaker and weaker, and it was not long before six o'clock.

Passing through the damaged gate of the residential area, they found a unit building nearby and randomly picked a spot on the second floor. After entering, they quickly smashed open the anti-theft doors of the two adjacent apartments with a nail hammer.

Then, Swadian heavy cavalrymen raised their shields and charged in with nail hammers.

The houses were quite large and luxurious.

After confirming that both houses were clear, they reported: "Safe!"

"Bring all the warhorses in and leave 100 people in each room." Shen Mu then pointed to the house on the right and said to Fatis, "Fatis, you're in charge of the house on the right. Light bonfires in every room and make sure they don't go out."

"Understood." Fatis didn't hesitate and immediately led 100 Swadian heavy cavalrymen, leading their warhorses into that house.

It was a large apartment with 420 square meters, seven bedrooms, and two living rooms.

The house on the left was the same.

Although it seemed quite crowded with more than 100 people and their warhorses inside, it could barely accommodate everyone's temporary lodging.

They weren't in a town, so making do was fine.

Everyone present had crawled out from piles of corpses on the battlefield.

They were quite satisfied with this kind of living environment.

‘Whoosh—’

As the Swadians collected wooden furniture and iron basins from the house, they began to light bonfires.

The moment the light appeared, the outside instantly turned dark.

A bone-chilling cold also permeated the air.

Its effect also included the soul.

"It's getting dark." Everyone present slowly closed their mouths, squatting around the lit bonfires. They didn't remove their armor, only took off their helmets, and leaned against the wall to rest.

Even the warhorses, still clad in heavy armor, stood obediently.

Occasionally, they swished their tails and snorted a couple of times, but nothing else.

They looked very well-behaved and obedient.

"Good horses." Shen Mu patted each of the Holy Tree Steeds or Swadian warhorses, soothing their emotions, and then turned to the bedroom.

Here, Eren and 20 other knights had already gathered, dismantling the bed and tables and chairs, turning them into a raging bonfire in the brazier.

As the flames rose, the smoke emitted from the nearby window.

Although the entire bedroom had a smoky smell, it wasn't too pungent.

"Is the darkness outside what creates the undead monsters?" Eren casually picked up a wooden chair leg and threw it into the brazier, looking at the darkness outside with a strange expression.

Because he discovered that when the light from the bonfire in the room shone out, the darkness outside seemed to melt away like snow.

His feeling was that the darkness outside wasn't like some concept created by darkness.

But some kind of entity!

It was quite strange.

"Yeah, be careful, don't get close to the window." Shen Mu sat next to the bonfire, picked up a photo album that had fallen on the ground.

After casually reminding Eren, he opened the photo album.

Inside was a family of six dressed in luxurious clothes: an old man, two wealthy middle-aged couples, a newly married couple, and a girl who looked like a high school student.

Turning through the album, the other pages were also filled with photos of this family of six.

Everyone had a sweet smile.

They looked very warm and happy.

"The owner of a mid-range car 4S brand store, originally happily married." Shen Mu pursed his lips, looking at the dusty photo album that had obviously been lying on the ground for a long time, and casually threw it into the bonfire in front of him, letting it be devoured by the flames.

Only Shen Mu's somewhat sighing face remained: "If the undead rule hadn't descended, perhaps this family of six would still be living happily."

Shen Mu shook his head and leaned back against the cold wall, not saying much.

This was the norm after the undead rule descended.

The former prosperity disappeared in an instant.

The former order vanished.

Like this happy family of six, countless families in the Blue Star world had been reduced to nothing.

Just looking at Longcheng City, which once had a population of over ten million, now barely had a population of no more than 200,000, one could know.

In the beginning, when the undead rule first descended, it caused countless tragic cases.

Even Shen Mu, through the memories of his predecessor, recalling what he had seen and witnessed in this parallel world three years ago, was unwilling to think about it now.

It was truly too tragic, too sad, and the heavy mood was indescribable.

"Fortunately, I awakened the Mount \u0026 Blade system." Shen Mu couldn't help but sigh slightly when he thought about the predicament he was in when he first transmigrated.

He didn't say much.

Leaning against the wall, Shen Mu fell into a drowsy sleep with peace of mind.

Many Holy Tree Knights, Holy Tree Cavalry, and Swadian Heavy Cavalry around him were like Shen Mu, leaning against the wall and dozing, barely allowing themselves to get physical rest and mental relaxation.

In these seven rooms, as well as the hall and dining room, not everyone was asleep.

There were also knights or cavalrymen specifically assigned to stand guard, sitting in place with their eyes open, holding a knight's sword or hand-and-a-half sword in their arms, vigilantly watching the surrounding windows and doors.

Including those who occasionally woke up, walking back and forth in the seven rooms and two halls, considered a simple patrol.

From time to time, they would also bring wooden or paper books and throw them into the brazier to reignite the bonfire.

So that the rooms and halls were filled with light.

Only then did they feel relieved.

These knights and cavalrymen didn't dare to be careless during their first night spent outside this town.

They were all very careful.

Before, they had all heard that undead monsters were constantly appearing in the wild, and it would be quite troublesome if they were entangled.

In order to avoid this kind of thing, of course, they had to be careful and vigilant.

The only fortunate thing was that when the dawn from the horizon pierced through the darkness on the morning of the next day, just after six o'clock.

The darkness that originally enveloped this Blue Star world seemed to have been attacked.

It dissipated invisibly in an instant.

The undead rule that originally replaced the darkness of the Blue Star world completely returned the normal dimness to the Blue Star world.

"Lord, it's dawn." Fatis woke up first in the adjacent room.

After checking that the knights and cavalrymen he led in his seven-bedroom, two-living room house were still there and that nothing unusual had happened, he nodded in satisfaction and pushed open the door to come to the adjacent room.

He also gently patted Shen Mu's shoulder, waking him from his sleep.

Fatis said, "Lord, we should go."

"Oh, um." Shen Mu opened his sleepy eyes, and when he realized it was Fatis, he nodded, reached out his hand, and stood up with difficulty with Fatis's support.

Sleeping against the wall in a suit of armor last night made his muscles feel stiff and extremely uncomfortable now.

However, looking around, all the knights and cavalrymen were standing up and moving their muscles.

Shen Mu moved his shoulders and said to Fatis, "Have everyone lead the warhorses out, move around here a bit, and then we'll prepare to return to Dhehrim."

"Understood." Fatis nodded and led the cavalrymen out of the room with their warhorses.

Carefully along the rugged stairs, they came to the outside between the residential area's green belts.

Not only to activate their muscles and bones.

But also to allow these Holy Tree Steeds and Swadian warhorses, who had not taken off their horse armor and had been standing for a whole night, to move around properly, so as not to stiffen their muscles and be unable to run later.

It was also thanks to these horses being horses that appeared in the Mount \u0026 Blade system.

They could not be measured by normal horses.

Otherwise, just wearing heavy armor, carrying a rider also wearing heavy armor, galloping wildly on a journey of dozens of miles, and standing for a whole night wearing horse armor.

If it were other normal warhorses, they would have collapsed from exhaustion or even vomited blood from exhaustion long ago.

"At this time, I can only say that the Mount \u0026 Blade rule is invincible." Shen Mu pursed his lips slightly, at least it could be regarded as finding a very reasonable reason for his warhorses to be so strong.

After all, the fact was indeed so.

He, Shen Mu, and the generals and soldiers under his command possessed the Mount \u0026 Blade rule.

Although some Blue Star rules and Spirit World rules were also mixed in, making the Mount \u0026 Blade rule more real, getting rid of the limitations of that illusory game rule and becoming a true real rule.

But now, the Mount \u0026 Blade rule was still derived from the game rule, and there was still some power of the rule that could show strength beyond common sense.

At least these heavy cavalrymen were like this.

"Let's get ready to go." Shen Mu walked out of the apartment building, gently stretched his shoulders, waved his hand to summon his pure white Holy Tree Heavy Steed, and nimbly leaped onto its back.

He was just about to leave when, beside Shen Mu, a Swadian knight seemed to notice something. He raised the lance in his hand and loudly rebuked towards an apartment building nearby: "Who's there?! Come out! I saw you!"

"Protect Lord!" Immediately, some of the surrounding 200-plus knights and heavy cavalry rode their horses to Shen Mu's side, blocking him.

More than a dozen Swadian heavy cavalrymen raised their lances and charged over.

Before anyone could blink, the dozen or so Swadian heavy cavalrymen dismounted, put down their lances, drew their hand-and-a-half swords, and said in a deep voice: "Come out!"

Then, they forced seven or eight middle-aged men and women to come out of the apartment building, trembling.

These people were pale and covered in dirt.

They also carried the stench of not having bathed for a long time.

However, as Shen Mu frowned and observed, he could see that although the clothes on these people were dirty, they were obviously styles that had been popular in the past, and were still the kind of expensive and luxurious clothes.

Considering that this community used to be in the wealthy area of ​​Balihe Street, he immediately understood the origin of these seven or eight middle-aged men and women.

"Respected... Lord."

At this time, a middle-aged man at the head walked over with a pale face, swallowed, looked enviously at the human heavy cavalry wearing ancient armor around him, and said in a trembling voice: "We, we have no malice, we were just curious about your strength, so we secretly peeked at you from that apartment building."

"Mm." Shen Mu nodded: "I understand, you are all ordinary people living here."

"Yes, yes." These middle-aged people nodded repeatedly.

This was indeed the case.

"It's nothing, I won't hurt you." Shen Mu looked at their frightened appearance and thought of his own embarrassment when he was struggling to survive alone in Balihe Street. He couldn't help but sigh.

He turned his horse's head, not intending to continue disturbing them, but reminded them before leaving:

"Recently, it's best to be careful of that commercial complex. I see gray fog spreading there, and the situation is a bit wrong. There may be relatively powerful undead monsters inside."

This was a reminder.

Because these ordinary people basically go to various commercial complexes, or various convenience stores or large shopping malls, to scavenge some supplies.

The ordinary supplies in Longcheng City, which once had a population of tens of millions, were basically available.

Also, because of the characteristics of darkness, they will not rot or deteriorate.

So, as long as you want to eat something, it's very simple.

As long as you are not afraid of death and are clever, you can scavenge a lot of edible ordinary food during the day.

This is not bad for ordinary people who have not undergone soul-level resonance.

"Thank you, thank you for your reminder!" These people nodded gratefully.

However, one person frowned slightly at this time, as if thinking of something, and said: "I remember that before the last Black Tide, there was gray fog spreading there. Moreover, I seemed to notice a spot of light being smashed into that commercial complex when it was almost dark. Since that day, the gray fog has become even thicker."

Shen Mu had originally planned to turn his horse's head and leave, but when he heard this person's voice, he directly reined in his warhorse.

His expression was a little strange.

Because on his retina, a dialog box popped up at this time.

【Ding! The system detects an event occurring! Temporary mission issued—Investigate the Commercial Complex!】

【Mission Name: Investigate the Commercial Complex.】

【Mission Brief: You heard from others that a strange spot of light had fallen into this commercial complex. Therefore, you are curious and want to see the specific situation. After all, from certain special perspectives, you have also seen environment-type spots of light falling before. You are very curious about what this ball of light appearing in the commercial complex is.】

【Mission Requirement: Go to the commercial complex and find that special 'spot of light'.】

【Mission Reward: Troop replenishment (100 people) (Tier 4 including Tier 4 and below) from the quartermaster authorized by the King.】

It was another wave of temporary missions.

"Troop replenishment from the quartermaster authorized by the King?" Shen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly at this time: "Still at the 100-person level, and all troops of Tier 4 and below can be replenished?"

Shen Mu had obtained similar troop replenishment rewards before.

At that time, it was for 50 people.

As long as it was Tier 3 and below, including Tier 3, it could be directly replenished to 50 people.

If there were not enough 50 people, even if there was only 1 person, it could be replenished to 50 people.

It was a very useful item.

"Now, it has directly come to 100 people, and it also includes the troop replenishment of Tier 4?" Shen Mu rode on his warhorse and turned his head to look at the extremely obvious commercial complex not far away.

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Mu was indeed quite tempted by this temporary mission: "Then let's do it!"

You must know that there are still many troops in his army that are less than 100 people.

For example, the most typical 50 Holy Tree Knights and 150 Swadian Heavy Cavalry.

If it is used, then it will definitely immediately replenish 50 Holy Tree Knights, forming a 100-person Holy Tree Knight troop.

Including the 50 Swadian Heavy Cavalry, they will also be replenished, forming a 200-person Swadian Heavy Cavalry troop.

It is equal to saying that right now, Shen Mu easily obtained 100 Tier 4 Heavy Cavalry.

Without paying any price.

If it is a normal upgrade, then it will definitely require the consumption of manpower and resources for step-by-step upgrades.

Even upgrading to Tier 4 cavalry in the end will require a fee of 100 denars per person.

Adding it all up, that would be equal to 10,000 denars.

Not to mention that in Shen Mu's army, there are Swadian Infantry, Lake Rat Gang Destroyers, hired crossbowmen, Rhodok skilled crossbowmen.

They all have troop sizes of less than 100 people!

"Oh, right, and the Pious..."

Shen Mu pursed his lips slightly, and he was a little excited about this special ranged shooter.

If even the Pious, this kind of spellcasting unit, becomes a 100-person spellcaster troop, then the effect will be great!

After all, the Pious can not only release Sunfire Rays, but also release Healing spells.

Then, Shen Mu wouldn't even need to appear. Just this Holy Light Healing spell would be enough to allow many wounded soldiers to recover quickly and then return to the battlefield again!

"Very good, I am also very grateful for your reminder." Shen Mu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, turned his horse's head, turned around, and led the cavalry away.

Only his voice lingered: "If you need special Spirit Realm food, you can go to the east side of Balihe Street to find me. I am the new lord there, but I currently do not accept anyone's allegiance or residence, but you can use the Spirit Realm imprint fragments or Spirit Realm scene information that you can find to exchange for food and help from me!"

Then, with the sound of rumbling horseshoes hammering the ground, Shen Mu's team left.
