A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

Just as Shen Musi was pondering the Green Leaf Group, inside the Elder Treehouse of the Wood Elf Village, which was the headquarters of the Green Leaf Group.

Yang Di, the Wood Elf Clan Chief, along with Zhang Song, nominally the Deputy Director of the External Relations Department but in reality the main person in charge of the External Relations Department, and two other management figures in charge of the Security Department and the Militia Department, had all arrived at this Elder Treehouse.

However, at this moment, their expressions were quite grave.

"Has it been confirmed?"

Yang Di slowly opened his mouth, looking at Zhang Song beside him and asked, "That human lord named Shen Mu, has he really begun to digest Xue Zhigang's beastman tribe, and is also gathering Blue Star humans, and has begun to develop in a group-oriented and standardized manner?!"

"Yes."

Facing Yang Di's inquiry, Zhang Song nodded seriously, his eyes very solemn as he said, "President Yang, according to the reports from our informants infiltrated within Shen Mu's human territory, Shen Mu has consciously begun to develop in a group-oriented manner."

"Then this is really a troublesome matter."

Yang Di's expression was not good.

Including the department heads beside him, their expressions were somewhat unsightly.

Because he understood that Shen Mu's purpose in gathering those Blue Star humans was for the power of faith.

And once Shen Mu began to collect the power of faith, and began to descend his spirit realm forces from the astral realm on a large scale, then it would be equivalent to the group-oriented and standardized development they had just mentioned.

At that time, it would truly be quite awkward for their Green Leaf Group.

After all, once Shen Mu's human territory began to gather the power of faith and became increasingly powerful.

Then, what should his Green Leaf Group do at that time?

Just thinking about it, Yang Di could guess that he would definitely lead the Wood Elf Village to continue a head-on battle with Shen Mu.

And if they were at a disadvantage, perhaps they would have to do as Xue Zhigang had done before with the beastman tribe, telling him about the relationship between the skeleton legions of the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty in the underground tunnels of Longcheng City and these wood elves.

Use those skeleton legions, which could riot at any time, to deter this Shen Mu.

Otherwise, as Shen Mu became stronger and stronger, and after absorbing the foundation of the beastman tribe, he would begin to expand towards the main areas of Longcheng City.

Conflict would definitely occur with them.

"It's all because of the power of faith," Yang Di sighed.

But to let him give up those Blue Star humans, give up continuing to obtain a lot of power of faith in the future.

That was something he simply could not do.

That would be no different from surrendering.

Moreover, even after surrendering, these spirit realm lords would not have a good end.

After all, the reason they became spirit realm lords was because they had received the affirmation of the forces in those spirit realm scenes or planes in the astral realm above.

Only then could they become spirit realm lords.

Otherwise, relying solely on their own desire to become a spirit realm lord would simply be unrealistic.

After all, for Yang Di.

He had been a spirit realm lord for nearly three years, so he understood very well that the spirit realm lord imprints cast down by those spirit realm forces in the astral realm were in fact also selecting Blue Star humans.

Only the strong and persevering Blue Star humans who could pass the test would be chosen to become spirit realm lords.

There was a scheme behind everything.

Just like those who became spirit realm lords, they would slowly transform into the spirit realm creatures they had chosen.

Completing the synchronous resonance at the soul level, as well as the changes in the physical body.

All of this came at a price.

And now that he had become the spirit realm lord of the wood elves, the clan chief of this village.

Then he needed to take on the development of this wood elf village, as well as the existence of the wood elf race in the Blue Star world.

Therefore, he needed to have more Blue Star humans provide a continuous stream of the power of faith, and then allow the wood elf main camp in the astral realm to descend more and more into the Blue Star world, descending into this Longcheng City.

Eventually, this place would be built into an important branch of the wood elves, or rather, an important base.

In the upcoming large-scale descent of spirit realm races from the astral realm, making advance arrangements and plans in the Blue Star world can be said to be acting as pioneers for the wood elf race as Blue Star humans.

Once the spirit realm officially descended into this new world, he, this pioneer, would also become a meritorious person among the wood elves.

He would also be allowed and accepted, and completely transformed into a wood elf.

Formally becoming a member of the wood elves.

And if he could not do all of this, then in the process of transforming the Blue Star world into a spirit realm after the large-scale descent from the astral realm.

He would not have played any role.

Then the end for a wood elf converted from a male human would not be good either.

Even if he could survive, he would be marginalized, and would never enter the power center, and the decision-making power of the wood elves would be completely unrelated to him in the future.

And thinking about the miserable state of being marginalized, Yang Di now felt more and more annoyed in his heart.

"We need to think about how to keep those Blue Star humans we currently possess, to ensure they won't be attracted by that Shen Mu, to energize his human territory, and bring him a continuous stream of the power of faith."

Yang Di said at this time.

"But President Yang, that might be very difficult," a department head beside him said slowly at this time, his expression a bit helpless.

He was the head of the Security Department, in charge of patrol and sentry duties, and responsible for the troops of the wood elf race's headquarters.

At this time, his tone was somewhat serious: "After all, that guy Shen Mu led his human troops and has already defeated Xue Zhigang's Diesel Company and his beastman troops, and even the beastman tribe has been destroyed. Even if we are stronger, it is impossible for us to do such a thing."

"That's right, President Yang, I agree with the Security Department head's words," the Militia Department head next to him also nodded in agreement.

The Militia Department was responsible for those spirit realm commanders who were transformed from Blue Star humans, forming the militia force.

Basically similar to the outsourced motorcade of Diesel Company.

However, because the Green Leaf Group's repulsion was not strong, and not as strong as Diesel Company, it still attracted many spirit realm commanders to join them.

So the Militia Department was basically considered the Green Leaf Group's flagship product.

In the tactical sequence, it was not worse than the wood elves of the Security Department, but in certain tactics similar to defending positions or stabilizing the defense line, it was stronger than the wood elves.

After all, the wood elves' ranged archer troops were quite powerful, but they were weaker than other races in close combat.

They were all very clear about this.

This was also why the Security Department head and the Militia Department head both seriously raised their opinions to Yang Di, the general manager.

Because they were all clear about how powerful the orc pig-headed men in the beastman tribe were, especially their close combat ability, which far exceeded that of the human race itself.

But even so, they were still defeated by Shen Mu's human troops in a destructive manner, and directly killed into the core of the beastman tribe, even Xue Zhigang, the beastman chieftain, had been killed.

This already showed Shen Mu's strength, as well as the power of his human troops.

Now, letting these wood elves and other spirit realm commanders clash with Shen Mu's human troops would be equivalent to them fighting against a force that was even stronger than the beastman tribe, so of course they would be wary, and raise their own opinions, even with a denial.

And some emotions of fear of war and cowardice had already arisen in their hearts.

There was no way around it.

Yang Di also understood at this time.

Shen Mu had already destroyed even the Diesel Company, then comparatively speaking, the Diesel Company was about twice as powerful as his Green Leaf Group.

Then it showed that his Green Leaf Group was two or three times weaker than Shen Mu.

With this disparity in strength ratio, what could they do?

They couldn't really be foolish and gather troops, then start a war against Shen Mu, and finally be killed and flee in disarray, and only place their hopes on those skeleton legions of the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty in the subway tunnels to save their lives.

Even though those skeleton legions of the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty did have inextricable connections with the wood elves in the spirit realm.

But the other party had already completed the skeletalization, had already completed the necromancy, and could already be said to be a special legion among the necromancer legions.

Even the high-level officials had a natural sympathy for the wood elf race of the past.

But the future was already destined.

That skeleton legion named the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty would definitely be completely controlled by the necromantic rules, and then become a real necromancer legion to launch attacks against any living troops.

Even the abyss demons and hell devils would be attacked by these skeleton legions controlled by necromantic rules.

After all, the undead controlled by necromantic rules hated all living beings.

Even abyss demons and hell devils were considered living beings, so they would attack.

That since even the abyss demons and hell devils, who were in the implicit partners under the unspoken rules, would be attacked, then let alone them, these living wood elves.

They would still launch attacks in the same way, launching a thorough massacre against them.

So communicating too much with those skeleton legions of the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty was not a good thing either.

Once the high-level officials of those skeleton legions were completely integrated with the necromantic rules, then they would find them based on their previous connections, and launch attacks on them first, completely crushing their wood elf village.

So this was also why Yang Di had always avoided those skeleton legions of the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty, and faintly rejected them.

Cooperating with them was equivalent to seeking skin from a tiger. When the high-level officials of those skeleton legions were completely integrated with the necromantic rules, then their wood elf village would be the first sacrifice to be sacrificed.

"We must be self-reliant," Yang Di said at this time.

"Of course, Mr. Yang, you are right," Zhang Song said slowly, agreeing.

However, seeing the worried expressions of Yang Di and the two ministers of the Garrison Department and the Militia Department, a smile appeared on his lips: "But perhaps we don't need to confront them head-on. After all, we already have our own people lurking in Shen Mu's human territory, as you all know."

"Yes, we do know, but even if we have insiders, what can they do? On the real battlefield, these spies are useless; they can only obtain some intelligence in advance."

The minister of the Garrison Department and the minister of the Militia Department exchanged glances, their eyes filled with helplessness.

Just as they said.

Insiders or spies can at most obtain some intelligence. Of course, if they can obtain valuable and important intelligence, that would be quite good.

But now, anyone with eyes can see that the Green Leaf Group and Shen Mu's new human territory will inevitably clash.

After all, they both need to compete for the power of faith.

So now that they are the weaker party, even if they know that Shen Mu is preparing for war against them, there is nothing surprising about it.

The current situation is that the strong take all.

It is perfectly normal for Shen Mu to gather troops and prepare for war against them, especially knowing that in their wood elf villages, there are about 15,000 to 20,000 Blue Star humans who can continuously provide him with the power of faith.

He will definitely actively prepare for war in order to seize these 15,000 to 20,000 Blue Star humans and make them his source of faith power.

Moreover, they also know that if their Green Leaf Group knew that Shen Mu's human territory, which is currently the weaker party, possessed so many Blue Star humans, they would definitely actively prepare for war and either extort them or use war to transfer all these Blue Star humans to their own territory.

After all, which Spirit Realm lord doesn't need the power of faith?

"So, what should we do next?"

The minister of the Garrison Department and the minister of the Militia Department both looked at Zhang Song, who still had a faint smile on his face.

Clearly, they knew that this Zhang Song, whom Yang Di highly valued in the Green Leaf Group and who was nominally the Deputy Minister of the External Relations Department but in reality was also the Deputy Minister of the Garrison Department and the Deputy Minister of the Militia Department, must have some ideas and plans.

"Speak, Zhang Song."

Yang Di now had some expectations for Zhang Song, whom he highly valued in the Green Leaf Group and who was nominally the Deputy Minister of the External Relations Department but in reality was also the Deputy Minister of the Garrison Department and the Deputy Minister of the Militia Department.

He also wanted to know why Zhang Song was so confident.

"Mr. Yang, and two ministers, why was Shen Mu able to easily defeat the seemingly powerful Diesel Company?"

Zhang Song slowly opened his mouth, instead asking a question.

"The reason for this may be inseparable from Shen Mu obtaining the support of a powerful human force in the Spirit Realm, and also from giving him a lot of faith power at the beginning, which allowed him to summon and lower many elite human soldiers."

The minister of the Garrison Department spoke at this time.

The minister of the Militia Department next to him also nodded and said: "After all, there are really too few Spirit Realm lords like Shen Mu who have a huge amount of faith value from the beginning and can summon a large number of elite soldiers. If he fails, it will be a great blow to the formation of that human force in the Star Realm. At least for now, very few Star Realm forces dare to use their already limited foundation to create a powerful Spirit Realm lord in a short period of time."

These are all common sense issues.

Now is still the initial stage of the Spirit Realm slowly transforming the Blue Star world, and it has not yet reached the middle stage where most of the Blue Star world has been transformed to welcome it.

Although the middle stage is about to arrive.

But now it is indeed a thorough initial stage.

Although occupying the first opportunity sooner is a very good choice for any world.

However, the earlier you occupy the first opportunity, the more foundation and greater sunk costs you need to pay. After all, there is not much extraordinary power now, and most of them are completely cold weapon battles. Once too many elite troops are deployed and losses are incurred, it will be quite painful.

After all, once those elite troops appear at the end of the middle stage when extraordinary power begins to appear, they will become the absolute main force.

Once they die in this early stage where not much extraordinary power can be used, then these elite troops are just some elite cold weapon troops.

Death is death.

There is not much value at all.

But as long as you dare to deploy your elite troops, then in the early stage, you will definitely form an overwhelming advantage.

For some small forces without much foundation, once they encounter such an overwhelming advantage, they will be directly crushed.

For example, the half-orc tribe of that Diesel Company, which looks quite powerful now, but in reality, they are just some small forces in the wilderness system.

They are also some small forces that cannot get on the table.

It is only because in the early stage, they relied on the strong bodies and combat capabilities of the pig-headed people to occupy some advantages.

But once the power of transcendence begins to descend, then the advantages formed by these strong bodies and combat capabilities will be leveled out. At that time, not to mention their wood elves, even those halflings who are good at cooking, some of whom have passed the magic assessment and have the ability of spellcasters, can make these pig-headed people unable to bear it.

Therefore, their wood elf villages and those Spirit Realm lords who have descended from large forces are all slowly waiting.

Waiting for the Blue Star world to be changed by the rules to be more suitable for the survival of Spirit Realm creatures.

Changed to be more suitable for the manifestation of extraordinary power.

Changed to be less like the Blue Star world, and more and more like that fantasy crystal wall system that had never collapsed.

So they are all waiting.

Now, if they invest too much of their foundation, then perhaps they will break the rhythm in the future when the middle stage begins, and they will not be able to keep up with the wave that is becoming more and more prosperous with the power of transcendence.

That would also be a troublesome thing for them.

"Everyone, haven't you really seen how Shen Mu easily broke into the base camp of the Diesel Company?"

The smile on Zhang Song's face became more and more strange: "That's all thanks to my brother Zhang Bo, and Zhang Caidong, who acted as insiders and spies to actively open the city gate, so that Shen Mu's human troops succeeded in a wave of sneak attacks and successfully destroyed the unprepared Office People tribe."

And while speaking, Zhang Song did not hide the intelligence he had given before: "Moreover, before the sneak attack, he also used spies to create internal strife in the half-orc tribe, causing them to lose their organization and unity."

"Indeed, that's how it is," Yang Di nodded at this time.

Because that's the fact.

"Yes, we admit this too," the Minister of the Garrison Department and the Minister of the Militia Department both nodded, not denying this situation.

But some wry smiles appeared on their faces.

The Minister of the Militia Department said: "But when Shen Mu's human troops attacked, they still went through a very tragic battle before they could defeat those half-orc troops, and according to the intelligence you obtained before, Shen Mu is also a spellcaster who can release summoning skills and various recovery effects of natural skills, and the natural skills he uses are even stronger than those of our wood elves."

The appearance of a spellcaster in the war is not ordinary.

Moreover, this enforcer is still a restorative spellcaster, capable of restoring various injuries, physical strength, and spirit to the troops, which is even more extraordinary.

They are quite clear about how important a spellcaster with recovery effects is to a troop.

At the same time, some wry smiles appeared on their faces.

"And when fighting against Xue Zhigang, have you noticed? Our intelligence has also mentioned the changes in Xue Zhigang himself, who has completed some extraordinary transformations."

The Minister of the Garrison Department and the Minister of the Militia Department both mentioned a word at this time.

Extraordinary transformation.

Generally speaking, you can complete the extraordinary transformation when you swallow the crystal core fragments, which is a high-frequency soul-level resonance.

Let yourself have the talent and combat ability of a Spirit Realm creature that is more in line with the transformation target.

Make yourself like an elite among Spirit Realm creatures.

But they all know that this is just a shallow extraordinary transformation, and at most it will become the original appearance of the creature that is your Spirit Realm follower.

But extraordinary transformation is different.

It is said that it is a kind of extraordinary transformation that transforms even the flesh, soul, and professional level.

Once the transformation is successful, then you can become an extraordinary person in the Spirit Realm.

It is said that it also has the foundation to become a legendary powerhouse.

They are not clear about what a legendary level is like.

But it is said that once you reach level 10 and above, you will touch the legendary field.

And once you reach the legendary field, then you can go further and have the ability of a demigod level.

And a demigod already has a word of God, then it already means that they have touched the secret of the gods.

In fact, even a legendary level already possesses a trace of power comparable to a god.

Of course, these have nothing to do with them now.

But the meaning to be expressed is very clear, that is, Xue Zhigang, who has already begun the extraordinary transformation, was completely defeated by Shen Mu and his troops.

You are now their Green Leaf Group can or cannot fight against Shen Mu.

It's really another matter!
