A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

She was still dressed in black纱, shrouded from head to toe, with only the curves of her figure faintly visible.

However, this kind of curvaceous figure did not elicit any desire from Shen Mu, the Holy Tree Knights around him, or the Swadian light infantry.

Instead, a peculiar feeling, as if a prey had been targeted by a hunter, involuntarily began to surface in their hearts.

This caused a sense of being awed to permeate the hearts of Shen Mu and the Holy Tree Knights.

As for the Swadian light infantry, their bodies were constantly trembling slightly, as if they were unable to maintain normalcy due to the fear surfacing in their hearts.

This seemed very abnormal.

However, when Shen Mu reached out and placed his hand on the encouraging horn at his waist, the special feeling of fear that had appeared in his heart slowly dissipated.

Or rather, as the 20 Holy Tree Knights once again came in front of Shen Mu and began to form a simple spear formation while holding their spears...

That inexplicable fear also began to dissipate in his heart.

This was because the faint fear and dread itself did not have a serious impact on Shen Mu and the Holy Tree Knights beside him.

It was as if the Swadian light infantry, who seemed to be ordinary people, had seen a ferocious lion.

And a ravenous, ferocious lion.

On the contrary, for Shen Mu and the Holy Tree Knights, it was like seeing a rabid, crazy dog.

Although they were indeed somewhat fearful in their hearts, it was impossible for them to truly be afraid, terrified, and trembling all over.

"Oh, I'm sorry, my esteemed Lord Shen Mu."

Then, the maidservant, who was completely shrouded in black纱in front of him, had a slightly playful tone.

She slowly bent over and bowed, as an apology to Shen Mu.

Then she said, "In order to prevent certain unpleasant things from happening, I subconsciously activated my soul. It is this special talent spell that makes people involuntarily think of the things they fear most when they see me."

"Yes, it does make people feel a little afraid."

Shen Mu said indifferently, while glancing at the Swadian light infantry who were also holding spears, gritting their teeth, and looking angry and fearful, his tone became a little unpleasant: "If possible, I would prefer that we communicate normally, rather than confront each other like this now."

"Of course, Lord Shen Mu, I'm just here to check on his situation, after all, the relationship between the devils of hell and us vampires is not so harmonious."

The maidservant said softly.

And in her words, she did not hide her disgust for the hell devils at all.

It was as if the two sides were enemies.

And in fact, it was almost the same, after all, the undead race and the devil race were inherently two completely different races.

Even if the crystal wall system on the fantasy side directly collapsed, causing them to join hands directly.

But this only means that they can cooperate, but it does not mean that they will not fight internally, after all, the undead and devils are not allies, just like the blood feud between devils and demons will never form an alliance.

They all have their own agendas, and they have a tacit understanding of cooperation only because they are forced by the situation.

In terms of true position, they are still based on their own interests.

And this vampire maidservant also seriously explained to Shen Mu.

Of course, the explanation was also that their vampire undead race and other undead races, as well as other devils and demons, were two completely different things, and could not be compared at all in their respective positions.

"So, you're here just on Lady Isabel's orders to see why hell rules are appearing here?"

Shen Mu also understood the meaning of this vampire maidservant.

"That's right." The vampire maidservant nodded, while looking at the Holy Tree Knights, a look of surprise appeared on her pale face under the black gauze: "I have to say, these knights that you possess, Shen Mu, are truly an amazing and powerful existence."

The last time, this vampire maidservant had also seen these Holy Tree Knights around Shen Mu.

However, there were only 10 of them at the time.

In a sense, the threat posed to this vampire maidservant was not strong, and it could even be said that they could only protect Shen Mu for simple self-defense.

If these vampire elite knights and herself, or even the Isabel matriarch, disregarded the Blue Star rules.

By paying a certain price, they could kill Shen Mu and his troops.

At that time, this vampire maidservant had enough confidence.

But now, she saw the Holy Tree Knights that had appeared again, and the Holy Tree Knights that she had seen in mid-air when she had just flown in, the number had exceeded a hundred, and she was still a little apprehensive in her heart.

The main reason was that this vampire maidservant had already noticed that these knights wearing bright silver armor and holding weapons with tree-patterned shapes had something special on their armor and weapons, and they seemed to be mixed with some sacred magic materials.

"Mithril?" The vampire maidservant asked.

"It seems you're talking about the equipment and weapons on my knights." Shen Mu didn't mean to hide it, and nodded in affirmation: "That's right, their weapons and equipment are mixed with mithril."

"As expected, Lord Shen Mu, you are very lucky to have encountered these human kingdom forces who once had a strong foundation in the spirit world."

The vampire maidservant's tone became more and more emotional: "But I can't see through which kingdom's foundation they are, but thinking about how vast the main material plane is, it's possible that there are kingdoms that I don't know about."

The vampire maidservant did not dwell on these issues, but bowed slightly to Shen Mu again to show her respect:

"Now that I know that it was your troops, Lord Shen Mu, who repelled the invasion of the hell devils, I already understand here. Next, I will report to the Isabel matriarch, and at the same time, express my greetings to you on behalf of the Isabel matriarch."

"Okay, please also convey my respect and express my greetings to Lady Isabel." Shen Mu nodded.

These were just some polite words, and there was no need to make things too stiff at this time.

So the vampire maidservant gave a faint laugh again, and her whole body turned into a special form condensed from darkness and gray mist, and then disappeared into nothing.

However, this action made Shen Mu slightly stunned, including the Holy Tree Knights and the Swadian light infantry, who all looked surprised and uncertain.

This was because this special form was really too special.

It directly turned into darkness and gray mist, and disappeared into nothing. This was simply equivalent to a special kind of invisibility.

Moreover, Shen Mu also found that this vampire maidservant had descended from the sky, which meant that this vampire maidservant could fly.

Being able to fly and also being able to be invisible.

"This is a bit scary." Shen Mu slowly clenched his Holy Tree Knight sword hilt, which he had slowly clenched.

This basically explained one thing.

His city walls could not stop enemies using certain special means, such as flying and invisibility, from approaching him.

It was as if this vampire maidservant now, if this vampire maidservant was even a little concerned about him, then he would be in danger.

Being able to fly and also being able to be invisible, if she had murderous intentions towards him, she could quickly approach him directly and then carry out a sneak attack, then it would be quite dangerous.

At least based on Shen Mu's current speculation, he would be quite difficult to deal with at that time.

The only means that could be used to counterattack was the Holy Tree Knight armor on his body, but this Holy Tree Knight armor was too slow to react as the special reaction mode gradually heated up.

At most, it could detect the approaching danger, but it did not know where the danger was.

Once the enemy killed over at an extremely fast speed, it was really uncertain whether this Holy Tree armor would be useful at that time.

"Quick, quick, quick, hurry over." At this time, there was also an urgent order from outside the castle.

Then, the figures of Aeren, Bestur, Resarit, and the remaining 90 Holy Tree Knights appeared at the main gate of the castle.

At the same time, each of them had drawn their respective weapons and held them in their hands.

At this time, the white light on these weapons flickered.

While carrying a grim chill, they also carried the vigilance and murderous intent on their respective faces.

This was because just now, they had also sensed that something seemed to have suddenly appeared at the main gate of the castle hall on the top of the hill, especially the Holy Tree Knights, whose bodies were surging with heat, and they also heard faint scolding coming from the castle.

Of course, each of them gathered and quickly rushed towards the location of the castle.

And when they gathered and came in from the inner side door, they had also seen a black figure appearing at the location of the castle gate on the top of the hill.

Relying on their respective keen sixth sense, they immediately realized that the black figure was not one of their own.

That's right, it wasn't one of their own.

Because as riding and slashing soldiers existing in the riding and slashing system, they all have prominent characteristics from their respective riding and slashing worlds, that is, they all have the protection of riding and slashing rules.

This kind of protection is relatively subtle to say the least.

It's a bit similar to the friend-or-foe identification that is consciously generated in the same team after being recruited by Shen Mu together.

In this case, if they shoot arrows or slash with a knife, they will not cause damage to friendly forces.

This is equivalent to a special sixth sense generated from the rules of the game.

Now that they have come to this real world, it has also played its effect.

So, when they saw that black figure, they immediately realized that it was neither their companion nor their ally, which is why they were so anxious, drawing their weapons and charging towards the top of the hill before they were all fully assembled.

The reason they were so anxious was also to ensure that Shen Mu, this legendary figure, the savior in their hearts, would not be harmed.

After all, just think about it, a strange black figure suddenly appeared at the castle gate.

Instead of requesting to see Shen Mu outside the castle.

That definitely couldn't be considered a friendly act.

To protect Shen Mu's life, that's why they rushed so quickly.

"Lord Shen Mu! Just now, we saw a figure in black armor at the castle gate."

Aylenn, holding his knight's sword, also looked very solemn: "Seeing that you are alright is really great. We thought there was something wrong with the castle's defenses."

"That's right, we were really scared! Honorable Lord Shen Mu!" At this time, Lesariet and Bestur also didn't have the unruly appearance they had before.

If something really happened to Shen Mu, then regardless of whether they themselves felt guilty or extremely angry.

Even if they returned to Calradia, the nearly world-ending crisis that would arise after the news spread would be enough to make them only be able to atone with death.

Moreover, even spittle could directly drown them all.

After all, Shen Mu, this legendary figure, this savior of Calradia, no, it should be said, the savior of the entire Mount \u0026 Blade world, his lofty reputation was enough to make these guys who failed to protect him have no choice but to commit suicide.

That's why they came here so quickly, really afraid that something might happen, and it might be too late by then.

Shen Mu also gave these generals and Sacred Tree Knights who protected him a brief explanation of what had just happened.

Each of them breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, whether it was Aylenn or these Sacred Tree Knights, they had all experienced the battle with the vampire faction in the large supermarket complex.

They also had an impression of the vampire maid who was sent out by the vampire faction for negotiations at the end.

And they also remembered that these vampires had given Shen Mu a gift.

It was considered an expression of friendship and peace.

"Phew, that really scared me." At this time, the solemn look on Aylenn's face also relaxed slightly, and he looked at the mere 20 Sacred Tree Knights beside Shen Mu with some worry, and said helplessly: "But Lord Shen Mu, I think you must have a personal guard who can protect you in time."

"That's right, only a personal guard can protect your life at a critical moment." Lesariet and Bestur also nodded at this time.

A personal guard is really important.

They were all from noble families and had all served as senior commanders, and even experienced the test of actual combat.

Therefore, they quite understood that the existence of a personal guard team could truly protect the life of a commander.

After all, on a chaotic and complex battlefield, the commander needs to consider many things, from the formation of the troops to the deployment of various arms, to the weather and terrain, and the dynamics of the enemy to counter.

It can be said that the mental labor level and the battle of wits with the enemy almost occupy most of the commander's thinking.

So, he doesn't think much about his own safety.

If there is a personal guard team at this time, then this personal guard team does not need to consider anything else, only how to protect Shen Mu, the commander, can improve the commander's chances of survival.

After all, without considering the environmental factors of the entire battlefield, only consider the life safety of this commander.

Responsible for vigilance and ensuring that there are no abnormal situations around.

It is indeed a very simple task.

Moreover, as long as you serve in the personal guard team for a long enough time, you can accumulate a lot of personal guard team experience, and you will become more and more skilled in how to protect the commander's life, and the experience will become more and more abundant.

Of course, the commander's life will become more and more secure.

"Hmm." Shen Mu also pondered for a while at this time, and looked at Aylenn and said: "Then next, Aylenn will lead these 110 Sacred Tree Knights to serve as my personal guard."

"Thank you for your trust." Aylenn's face immediately lit up with joy at this time, and he quickly respectfully stretched out his hand to caress his chest, and then bent over to thank him.

And on the side, Lesariet and Bestur also looked at each other, and both saw the jealousy in each other's eyes.

But there's no way.

Letting Aylenn lead these Sacred Tree Knights to serve as Shen Mu's personal guard team is indeed a matter of course, at least in their opinion, this is very reasonable.

The Sacred Tree Knights are quite powerful knights, and both of them quite admired these Sacred Tree Knights.

Whether it is from combat experience or combat skills, as well as dealing with people, they are trustworthy guys.

So, becoming Lord Shen Mu's personal guard team is definitely quite qualified.

Moreover, they also knew Aylenn's combat level when they were in Calradia. After all, this eldest son from a high-ranking noble family in the Vaegir Kingdom is quite upright and has a sense of honor as a nobleman.

Coupled with his personal combat ability, which can be said to be quite powerful, it is indeed qualified for him to lead these Sacred Tree Knights to become Shen Mu's personal guard captain.

Of course, this is an important position related to the safety of Lord Shen Mu's life. If they usually ask themselves, they are also prone to carelessness.

Easily affected by the outside world.

Indeed, it is not as reassuring as Aylenn, a professional fighter.

Although Lesariet and Bestur both hope to become Shen Mu's personal guard captain, this is definitely not the time to compete for jealousy. They both quite understand this.

So, they just lowered their heads and bowed to Shen Mu, and by the way, they also agreed with Shen Mu's decision.

And letting Aylenn become his personal guard captain, Shen Mu also considered this situation.

That is, Aylenn's no-leave job can basically rank in the top three in the entire Mount \u0026 Blade Warband world.

It can even be said to be the first place.

Because Aylenn's own definition is a fierce general responsible for charging into battle, so his personal martial power is extremely strong, and no one can compare with him in combat power.

Generally speaking, in the game, the protagonist also likes to let Aylenn follow him and charge into battle together.

Instead of assigning various tasks to Fatis, Bunduk, and Lesariet and Bestur in front of him to lead the team.

Fatis and Bestur are both excellent cavalry commanders.

Fatis is a heavy cavalry commander.

Bestur is a light cavalry commander.

Bunduk is a crossbowman commander who takes the path of a ranged shooter.

Lesariet can be an infantry commander or a cavalry commander, but his professional function is a coach.

Responsible for training low-level soldiers.

Personally leading the team, so that those low-level soldiers can quickly accumulate combat experience and complete the upgrade, is this kind of positioning.

Even James and Marnid, these two non-combatants, are responsible for battlefield nursing and business.

Only Aylenn is completely irresponsible and only responsible for combat.

Even letting Aylenn lead a certain unit to fight.

For Aylenn, the completion is not very good.

Compared to Fatis, who is in charge of heavy cavalry, compared to Bestur, who is in charge of light cavalry, compared to Bunduk, who is in charge of crossbowmen, and Lesariet, who is specially released to train soldiers.

Far from it.

Of course, as long as Aylenn is allowed to take the lead and start attacking forward, he can exert his super combat power.

So, Aylenn himself is a fierce general, himself is a vanguard.

Of course, he can also be the captain of the personal guard.

'Buzz!'

Of course, this is just a small episode.

As Shen Mu chatted briefly with his three generals about what had just happened, as a ray of light began to appear in the sky.

The daytime after the fusion of the rules of the Blue Star world and the rules of the Spirit Realm instantly dispelled the complete darkness.

Repelling the necromantic rules from this Blue Star world.

"It's dawn."

Shen Mu stood at the castle gate at this time, watching the outside suddenly switch from the gray environment just now to the daytime time period with the morning light.

His mood gradually relaxed from the somewhat suppressed state just now.

No matter what.

The current daytime is equivalent to the time period that all Blue Star humans and spirit creatures can trust.

At least you can breathe a little from the dangers of the night.

And at the moment of this dawn.

A new dialog box has also appeared in front of Shen Mu.

【Ding! Congratulations! You and your troops, after a wonderful arrangement, successfully held out until the arrival of the daytime! You have completed the task!】

【After the system's post-war evaluation, you have obtained a 'hearty victory'! And obtained 'Golden Treasure Chest' × 3!】

【You have soldiers that can be upgraded!】

One after another, dialog boxes popped up.

The contents of the dialog boxes were all rewards after the battle with those hell demons last night.

And the richness of these rewards made Shen Mu somewhat unexpected.

However, he did not check it now, but turned his head and instructed the Sacred Tree Knights beside him: "Convey my order, let the soldiers start to rest in batches, and then let the kitchen cook some food again to prepare breakfast."

"Understood." A Sacred Tree Knight immediately nodded, and then went to convey Shen Mu's order.

The personal guard team itself has the role of a messenger.

Therefore, these Sacred Tree Knights do not refuse this task.

Moreover, being able to become Lord Shen Mu's exclusive personal guard is also a special honor for these Sacred Tree Knights.
