A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

After all, no matter the era, dynasty, or power, being a member of the personal guard meant being a trusted elite.

They were undoubtedly the commander's absolute confidants.

Entrusting his safety to these Holy Tree Knights, Shen Mu felt somewhat relieved.

Previously, because he often resided in castles or towns, surrounded and protected by soldiers, he hadn't considered the issue of a personal guard.

But the sudden appearance of the vampire maidservant made Shen Mu realize that he indeed needed to establish a personal guard.

She came directly to his side, right to the main entrance of his castle hall.

She bypassed both the outer and inner walls, completely ignoring these two originally most important lines of defense, which truly made Shen Mu feel a lingering fear even now.

Having these Holy Tree Knights, who appeared in this low-magic world, help him safeguard his security was what put Shen Mu at ease.

The Vikian light infantry had already prepared breakfast in the outer area during this time.

It was still the leftover wheat porridge and mixed vegetable soup from last night.

They added some diced meat and bread.

Simple and haphazard, enough to slightly fill their stomachs in the morning, preventing hunger.

As for being as lavish as last night, that was definitely impossible, after all, the battle was over.

Now their biggest goal was to simply have a quick breakfast and then sleep soundly.

Replenishing the energy lost from not sleeping last night.

That would be enough.

As for victory banquets and the like, Shen Mu needed to speak up and arrange them separately.

Of course, for Shen Mu, the most important thing now was to eat something first, and then prepare to sleep.

Last night's battle had also exhausted him mentally.

Even though he didn't personally participate in the battle, constantly thinking about the changes in the battle situation out of concern had caused significant mental strain.

With everything calmed down, he decided to sleep first and recover his energy.

Even if there were post-war rewards, Shen Mu didn't care.

"Anyway, the rewards aren't going anywhere, I'll just sleep first." Shen Mu was truly exhausted.

So, Shen Mu fell into a drowsy sleep.

However, just when everything returned to normal on Shen Mu's side.

......

The edge of Longcheng City.

The eastern area of Balihe Street.

In that large shopping mall complex.

The vampire maidservant had also returned to that mysterious VIP viewing room located on the top floor of the large shopping mall complex.

At this moment, a coffin appeared in front of her.

And the voice of the vampire matriarch, known as Isabel, came from inside.

"You're saying that the rules of the Hell Devils that appeared there were from the Hell Devils' forces attacking Shen Mu?"

Isabel's tone was somewhat surprised.

Because she understood the Hell Devils very well.

Especially now that the fantasy-side crystal wall system had completely shattered, and these Hell Devils, through certain special means, were able to operate during the day, it could be said that the Hell Devils were truly a very powerful force.

Even in the astral realm, she had heard of the Hell Devils' strength.

Especially the sudden battle that broke out during the day, which shocked countless forces.

After all, for other races, when daytime came, they could only be trapped in dark places where the sun's light couldn't reach. Once they clashed with the Hell Devils during the day and were attacked by them, they would definitely suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, the spirit realm races and forces that had layouts in this Blue Star world basically avoided conflicts with the Hell Devils.

Once a conflict occurred, they would use the Hell Devils' advantage of being able to negotiate, paying some price to resolve it through negotiation.

Although some price might be paid.

It was much better than being suddenly attacked by the Hell Devils during the day.

The key was that even if they launched a surprise attack, if they colluded with other forces to attack together.

That would be their loss.

Even though Isabel had just arrived in the Blue Star world and hadn't previously laid out any plans in the Blue Star world.

She was still somewhat worried about the Hell Devils' formidable reputation.

"So, we can't have conflicts with the Hell forces."

Isabel's voice slowly came from the coffin.

"Please rest assured, Matriarch Isabel, I always heed your teachings in my heart."

The vampire maidservant nodded earnestly, her tone showing no sign of rebuttal.

Even if she perceived Isabel's concern for the Hell forces, it was the same.

There was no helping it, this was the truth.

However, the vampire maidservant still said to Isabel: "But Matriarch Isabel, the lucky Blue Star human we encountered before, Shen Mu, who obtained the inheritance of a powerful human force in the spirit realm, seems to have become stronger again."

"Shen Mu, become stronger again?" Isabel asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

So, the vampire maidservant reported to Isabel in detail about the situations she had seen in New Rivadin.

Including the hundred or so Holy Tree Knights, and the two waves of attacks dispatched by the Hell Rules, all of which were completely defeated and annihilated by Shen Mu and his troops.

"Shen Mu and his troops completely annihilated the Hell Devil troops that went to attack him, and he also has hundreds more knights who are wearing enchanted armor, wielding enchanted weapons, extremely strong, and suspected of practicing breathing techniques! ?"

Isabel's tone was a little off now.

"That's right."

The vampire maidservant replied seriously: "These are all what I saw with my own eyes."

"If I remember correctly, there should be two or three more Black Tides before the arrival of the Final Black Tide, right?" Isabel asked.

"Yes."

The vampire maidservant replied.

"How could this be?" Isabel lay in the coffin, quietly recovering the foundation she had lost due to her desperate escape.

But in her mind, she really couldn't figure it out: "Before, I felt the aura belonging to the natural pan-consciousness in Shen Mu's body, so I thought he was still loved by the natural consciousness and had the possibility of becoming a Druid or a Natural Avenger."

Speaking of this, Isabel's tone became even more emotional: "I just didn't expect that the biggest foundation he actually obtained was the support brought to him by a powerful human force."

"Yes, respected Matriarch Isabel, I feel the same way."

The vampire maidservant also nodded in agreement, giving her own thoughts.

After all, thinking about it, one could understand that hundreds of knights wearing enchanted armor and enchanted weapons, and who were also suspected of practicing breathing techniques, loyally gathered around Shen Mu, enough to show that Shen Mu could directly command these knights.

It showed that Shen Mu had command of these knights.

And one had to know that with Isabel's status and position as a high-ranking vampire matriarch, as well as her knowledge, she certainly understood that knights with breathing techniques could be loyal to someone, which meant that they were loyal to this existence.

Especially when the spirit realm still existed, knights with breathing techniques were all genuine professionals, existences that were in a sense no less than spellcasters.

Even if the knight profession was not as good as those spellcasters.

But as long as these knights were willing to join a certain sect, then their profession would immediately be converted to the paladin knights of that sect who used divine magic.

The most classic example was the Holy Knight in the Light faction.

They had missions such as detecting evil, opposing corruption, and hunting down heretics.

When using divine magic, they were even stronger than ordinary knight professionals. Even those high-ranking gods, if they wanted to launch a war in the main material plane, would rely on these paladin knight orders as the absolute main force to use.

Therefore, Shen Mu possessed hundreds of powerful knights with breathing techniques, and they were also equipped with special enchanted armor and enchanted weapons, enough to show how powerful the human force behind Shen Mu was.

Now, thinking about it, Isabel felt a little touched in her heart.

"Fortunately, I have maintained a relatively good friendly relationship with this Blue Star human, Shen Mu. Even if the spirit realm completely descends on the Blue Star world in the future, the two sides can still maintain a friendly attitude when they meet again."

Isabel's voice also carried a bit of emotion.

Although she had also seen those human kingdoms and even human empires that had strong foundations in the spirit realm.

If their layout in the Blue Star world was still somewhat mediocre.

This should be because they were involved deeply enough in the spirit realm, so when the crystal wall system collapsed, it caused them the greatest trauma.

Just licking their wounds and regaining their strength consumed too much time.

Their layout in the Blue Star world was not very attentive, and it seemed very ordinary. Compared to those small forces that recovered quickly and regained their strength quickly, they were obviously behind at the starting line.

It was the spirit realm lord formed by this Blue Star human, Shen Mu, that really surprised her.

After all, he was so young and developed so quickly, and he already possessed such powerful elite human soldiers before the arrival of the Final Black Tide.

Then, after the Final Black Tide descends, and the Blue Star world is completely transformed into its own world by the spirit realm crystal wall system.

To what extent will these soldiers possessed by Shen Mu be able to increase with the help of the magic tide that is starting to surge and the extraordinary power that is starting to manifest, even Isabel, the vampire matriarch, felt a little frightened now.

After all, he had already shown his strength at such a low level, then when the extraordinary power that could push even pigs to the forefront began to emerge.

Perhaps Shen Mu already had enough power to talk to her at her peak.

"After I recuperate for a while, I will send Shen Mu an extra gift."

The vampire matriarch Isabel's eyes began to flicker at this time: "Is that Blue Star human who mastered the Holy Relic that we observed before still not far from us?"

"Yes, esteemed Mistress, those fellows are still in that room," the vampire maid replied.

"Well, that's just great." Isabel's voice carried a hint of a faint smile: "Those Blue Star humans who possess the Holy Relics don't understand their true purpose. They can be given to Shen Mu as a gift. Then, perhaps when we meet again in the future, we can have a good foundation for a relationship."

Isabel thought of many things, and her considerations were all about the future.

After all, for her now, she was still fleeing in a sorry state.

She was no longer at her peak. But if she could maintain a good relationship with this Blue Star human with limitless potential, then perhaps when the Spirit Realm descends on a large scale upon the Blue Star world, and transforms this world into a world order as prosperous as the Prime Material Plane.

She wouldn't need to hide as she does now, and could have Shen Mu help protect her.

After all, although vampires are undead creatures, they can still maintain a good relationship with the noble forces of some human kingdoms.

Sometimes, those noble forces of human kingdoms will secretly protect vampire factions like them.

And most of the time, those righteous forces who hate evil as their enemies will tacitly approve of the existence of these vampires.

Except for those righteous forces who can't tolerate even a grain of sand in their eyes.

Most of the time, vampires, as orderly evil aligned undead creatures who can maintain their appearance, maintain eternal life, and revere hierarchical order, can also help those nobles maintain hierarchical order, etiquette, and governance.

In this VIP box, Isabel and the vampire maid didn't have much interaction. Instead, she gave a few more instructions, ensuring the security and defense work of this large shopping mall complex, and then fell back into slumber.

She still needed to restore her strength as soon as possible, and then leave this Blue Star world as soon as possible.

After all, in the current Blue Star world, the Blue Star rules are still in a strong position.

If she, an existence with powerful extraordinary strength, stays in this Blue Star world for too long, then not only will she not recover her strength, but her extraordinary power will automatically dissipate into this Blue Star world.

Therefore, the reason why the vampire Isabel came to the Blue Star world was to escape the pursuit of her enemies and to recover from her injuries as soon as possible.

Once her wounds were almost healed, she would quickly leave.

Otherwise, her extraordinary power would really dissipate into this Blue Star world, making her power similar to the power that this Blue Star world currently possesses.

And it should be known that the highest level in this male world is only the level 7 professional inheritance.

There is not much extraordinary power that can be used.

Even if the Final Black Tide descends, and extraordinary power can be used, it is still equivalent to an extremely scarce and barren land for an existence of her level.

"Moreover, even if this area completes its descent, it will be that kind of desert area, a place on the edge of the world and civilization."

Isabel thought of some information and intelligence she had seen before coming here, thinking of the area once called the Naren Desert.

A dim look flashed in her eyes.

If it weren't for the pursuit, she wouldn't have come here.

After all, the Seven Kingdoms Federation where she was located was a very wealthy place, many times more prosperous than the remote and poor Naren Desert.

… …

Just as Isabel fell into slumber.

North of the Su Family Village subway station subway tunnel.

The High Devil's phantom was standing expressionlessly in the subway tunnel at this time.

In the position of his eyes, dark red light was flashing with hateful gaze, representing his current hateful mood and the hateful ending produced by the failure of his originally quite confident victory.

"How could this be?! The army I sent out was completely annihilated!!! And it was completely annihilated twice!!! Even those elite mid-level devils that made up my personal guard have been completely annihilated!?"

His mood was still immersed in this news and unable to recover.

Or rather, at this time, this High Devil, known as the Fifth Overseer, had become somewhat hysterical because of his hatred.

This was completely different from the habitually calm and cold him.

But there was no way.

Because in the battle just now, his foundation had been completely exhausted.

Now, he basically only had the empty name of the High Devil of the Fifth Overseer.

Really only an empty name.

Even if he wanted to carry out some activities in the Blue Star world in the future, he no longer had more cards to play.

The lesser devils he owned were completely annihilated.

The lower devils he owned were completely annihilated.

Those mid-level devils he owned, those personal guards he could truly rely on, had also been completely annihilated.

Not to mention before, those parasitic monsters that had been completely annihilated in the underground garage.

Also completely annihilated.

It should be known that those parasitic monsters were the foundation he had accumulated little by little over three years, an army that could have a significant impact on the entire Angang Street and even the surrounding streets.

But he never expected that he would be completely eradicated by that Blue Star human, leading his human army.

In addition to those lesser devils, lower devils, and mid-level devils that made up the devil legion.

All have been completely annihilated.

Except for a small number of lesser devils and lower devils, as well as a single-digit number of mid-level devils, who were left behind for other reasons.

But this also meant that this High Devil had lost the possibility of continuing to fight for hegemony in this Blue Star world.

This High Devil could even imagine his miserable end.

After all, in the entire Angang Street, he was not the only dominant force, but there were also several other High Devils planning the next descent.

Now that they saw his weakness, those other High Devils would never wait for him to develop again. They would definitely swarm up and tacitly tear him apart, and then swallow his foundation alive.

Even if he still possessed the level of a High Devil, with the passage of time, they had all begun to gain a firm foothold in the Blue Star world.

And the Hell plane in the Astral Realm had also begun to gradually descend into this Blue Star world.

Only he was fighting alone.

How could he compete with those other High Devils who had already planned completely in the Blue Star world and possessed a strong foundation?

Now this High Devil, known as the Fifth Overseer, was really a little uneasy in his heart.

And he felt a little annoyed for his previous madness.

"Damn it, damn it, I shouldn't have been so impatient. I should have gathered most of my forces and launched an attack directly."

This High Devil slowly clenched his fist.

His two waves of piecemeal tactics had instead buried all his foundation, turning all his troops into dead souls.

Even now, no matter how angry he was, he could no longer reverse this doomed ending.

"No, I absolutely will not allow myself to return to the Hell plane of the Astral Realm in such a disheveled manner."

No matter what, he was the Fifth Overseer, and he was considered to be high-ranking in the first layer of the Hell plane.

Now, thinking about the news he had received, and looking at the other High Devils who had come from other Hell planes, who were outwardly friendly but inwardly at odds with him.

He couldn't help but grit his teeth.

He decided to think of a way.

How to make his current failure seem not so embarrassing.

And if he could rely on the news he had obtained, that is, the Spirit Realm imprint inheritance that this Blue Star human he had come into contact with had obtained, was actually the inheritance of a powerful force.

Not only did it have ample faith power, but it also had souls of extremely high quality.

Perhaps he could rely on this news to exchange for more benefits.

"I am now unable to continue to maintain the strongest position in Angang Street, but I absolutely cannot leave this Angang Street in such a disheveled manner."

After all, he was the Fifth Overseer.

The other High Devils didn't have this title.

In the Astral Realm, he still had his own independent Hell plane as his foundation. As long as he was given a chance, he would still be able to descend again.

So, it was not a complete failure now.

'Crack! '

Just as this Fifth Overseer High Devil was thinking, suddenly, in the subway tunnel, there was a subtle, crisp sound as if something was colliding.

But even in the crisp sound, there was some strange muffledness.

This made him couldn't help but frown slightly.

Subconsciously, he raised his head and looked at the tunnel on the west side of the subway tunnel, extending deeper.

In that darkness, faint ghostly blue lights were gradually appearing there.

Moreover, the number of ghostly blue lights was increasing, and even in this short period of time, they had formed a ghostly blue ocean, carrying a chill that seemed to impact the soul level, and began to surge towards the tunnel.

This made the High Devil, known as the Fifth Overseer, become increasingly angry: "The Bone Legion of the Black Arrow Tower!"

He uttered a low roar.

It was because he had fought with these Bone Legions of the Seventh Dynasty of the Black Arrow Tower that he had been taken advantage of by that Blue Star human.

Ultimately leading to the current result.

If it weren't for these skeleton frames clashing with him, then he wouldn't have been reduced to this state!

Therefore, the High Devil's eyes were now increasingly angry, and even carried bone-deep hatred.

And then…

He gritted his teeth, turned into a dark red phantom, and completely disappeared.

There was no way.

The current him no longer had the qualifications to continue to block these Bone Legions.

He could only be forced to withdraw from the competition for the current Angang Street!
