A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

The sound of horseshoes echoed on the ground.

Shen Mu, leading 50 Holy Tree Knights, galloped on horseback along the desolate twelve-lane main street of the city.

The speed was fast.

Because the Diesel Company had been destroyed, the entire Balihe Street area was almost entirely under Shen Mu's control.

The remaining Blue Star humans couldn't possibly have any conflicts with Shen Mu. Even the Spirit Realm Commanders would keep their distance upon seeing Shen Mu, never daring to approach.

After all, Shen Mu could be said to be at the height of his power. Deherim's reputation had spread throughout Balihe Street and was even beginning to spread to other streets.

It was just unknown whether there were any surviving Blue Star humans or other Blue Star forces in those other streets.

However, based on Shen Mu's recent victory over the Diesel Company, other forces would feel apprehensive upon hearing about it, because the Diesel Company's reputation in this area was quite prominent.

Yet, even such a powerful Diesel Company had been destroyed, which meant that Shen Mu's combat power was truly formidable, and his strength was truly terrifying, at least equal to or even stronger than the Diesel Company.

Otherwise, how could Shen Mu's forces have possibly destroyed the Diesel Company?

Moreover, even the Spirit Realm Commanders now held Shen Mu in great awe.

Even those Spirit Realm Commanders or Blue Star humans who hadn't joined Deherim could tell from the many heavy cavalry that the young man at the head was the legendary Shen Mu.

They didn't dare to make any contact.

After all, everyone knew that in the wild, approaching someone easily would inevitably lead to unnecessary conflict.

Especially now that Shen Mu had the territory of Deherim, if they didn't register and seek refuge with Shen Mu in the territory, but suddenly wanted to approach him in the wild, then they must have ulterior motives.

Once this happened, if the other party became more nervous, it might escalate into an unnecessary bloody conflict.

Therefore, these Blue Star humans and Spirit Realm Commanders who had survived until now were quite aware of what they should and shouldn't do.

Thus, Shen Mu led the 50 Holy Tree Knights on horseback, heading towards the location of the Diesel Company, quite smoothly.

However, when passing by that commercial complex, he subconsciously reined in his horse.

The warhorse under his crotch immediately obediently stopped its galloping forward.

Bringing Shen Mu to a halt there.

"That vampire's power..." Shen Mu looked up at the towering commercial complex, his brow furrowing slightly. Faintly, the Holy Tree Armor on his body also showed a slight burning sensation.

This meant that even without approaching the commercial complex, the armor on his body had already sensed the evil power.

Obviously, it came from those vampires.

However, at this time, the Holy Tree Knights around Shen Mu were also somewhat restless and uneasy, and the Holy Tree Knight Captain came to Shen Mu's side to report: "Lord, something is not right. There seems to be a threat inside this commercial complex, and it is a great threat."

At a distance of about a hundred meters, the Holy Tree Armor on their bodies had already shown a slight burning sensation, which meant that the evil inside this commercial complex was already quite powerful.

They didn't dare to relax their vigilance here, so they carefully rode forward a few steps, adjusting their formation to protect Shen Mu in the middle.

"Yes, the evil inside has indeed grown somewhat." Shen Mu nodded, agreeing with his statement.

Because before, when they broke through the outer curtain wall and entered the commercial complex, they only felt a slight burning sensation, and the Holy Tree Armor on their bodies reacted.

But now, they hadn't even entered the curtain wall, just on the side of the road at a distance of 300 meters, or even more, they had already felt the so-called evil power.

This meant that Isabel, the vampire matriarch who was recuperating inside, had recovered a considerable amount of power.

"If I remember correctly, she wanted to recuperate here at that time, and would leave after recuperating." Shen Mu frowned slightly, thinking: "Now I am about to build a new castle, and her vampire stronghold is directly between my Deherim and the new castle, right next to the main road, directly separating my two castles and towns."

This was not good. If something really happened, it would be quite awkward if this vampire matriarch Isabel, with whom he had a verbal alliance, attacked him.

At that time, his newly built castle would definitely be separated.

And once something happened, if he couldn't take care of both ends, and encountered a fierce attack from the enemy, both Deherim and the new castle to be built at the Diesel Company's ruins would be quite awkward.

"It seems that it won't work." Shen Mu's frown deepened, looking at the commercial complex, he slowly tightened his reins: "I have to go over and ask her when she will leave, and I also need an accurate time, otherwise if something really happens, I will really be uncomfortable here."

It was better to speak frankly and put his concerns directly on the table, which was better than the two sides suspecting each other and then causing unnecessary trouble and conflict.

At least it wouldn't completely tear the relationship apart.

After all, it was common for Blue Star humans to be wary of those evil creatures in the Spirit Realm, and those evil creatures were quite clear about their actions. Especially those undead monsters, who were the biggest culprits in causing destruction to Blue Star humans.

Many Blue Star humans had died at the hands of those undead monsters, and died quite tragically.

What's more, vampires also belonged to a branch of the undead race.

Although these vampires could now communicate and had their own wisdom, negotiating was the best option, and Shen Mu knew before that they were just here to recuperate, so there was no direct conflict.

But now that Shen Mu was about to build his new castle, it was appropriate to ask them when they would leave, after all, this area was originally the territory occupied by Shen Mu.

Whether it was in terms of reason or sentiment, those vampires should indeed leave.

Even if they didn't leave, they could inquire about when these vampires would leave, have a clear time, so that both sides wouldn't have too much trouble, agree on a time for both sides to leave, and then maintain a friendly relationship.

Nothing would happen, no war would break out, and there would be no conflict.

This is the benefit of prior communication.

"Alright, everyone dismount and follow me." Shen Mu then spurred his horse towards the commercial complex, and upon approaching the parking lot, he dismounted and led the Holy Tree Knights to enter the complex.

However, before entering, he arranged for 10 Holy Tree Knights to stay behind and watch the warhorses.

He also left 10 Holy Tree Knights to guard the first floor of the curtain wall.

The remaining 30 Holy Tree Knights followed him as guards, continuing towards the cinema on the top floor of the commercial complex.

However, as soon as he entered the commercial complex, faint footsteps could be heard around him, and the figures of corpse servant puppets and low-level vampires appeared in the corners.

However, they did not attack Shen Mu and the Holy Tree Knights.

As if they had received orders, they forcibly restrained their attacking and bloodthirsty desires, and quietly watched Shen Mu and the Holy Tree Knights walk towards the VIP cinema on the top floor where the vampire mother was.

The latest chapters of this novel are first published on , please go there to read it!

Shen Mu nodded, which meant that the vampires had noticed his arrival and restrained these low-level vampires and puppets.

The fact that they didn't attack him also showed the other party's goodwill.

Then Shen Mu arrived at the entrance of the VIP cinema on the top floor, and once again saw the taller vampire guards in armor.

At this time, the vampire guards firmly guarded the door, still holding their long swords, staring at Shen Mu and the Holy Tree Knights behind him with scarlet eyes, and refusing to let them approach the door.

However, before these vampire guards could say anything, a gap appeared in the door, and a vampire maid in black gauze walked out, the same vampire maid who had communicated with Shen Mu before.

"Respected Lord Shen Mu, I didn't expect you to come here. It is a great honor for us. On behalf of Mother Isabel, I express my respect and goodwill to you."

As the young vampire maid spoke, she respectfully bowed to Shen Mu with a court etiquette.

Looking quite elegant.

"Well, I also express my goodwill," Shen Mu nodded.

"Then, Lord Shen Mu, what are you here for?" the vampire maid asked again.

"It's like this, I plan to build a castle on the site of the Diesel Company, and you are between my Deherim and the castle. In order to ensure smooth traffic between the two places, I am here to ask you when you will leave here," Shen Mu directly stated his intention.

This was quite frank.

The vampire maid was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Shen Mu to be so direct, which made her, who was used to euphemistic speech, a little unaccustomed: "When to leave? ... I can't decide this matter."

She hesitated, wanting to explain something, but behind her, a hoarse voice suddenly came.

"Alright, my maid, since Lord Shen Mu is so frank, then let's be frank too. After all, my injuries have almost healed, and it's time to leave here and return to the plane fragment." This was the voice of the vampire mother Isabel.

"Lord Shen Mu, please give us 7 days. After 7 days, we will leave here and return to where we belong." The vampire mother Isabel said quite frankly: "As for whether we will affect your road smoothness here, please rest assured, we will not stay here for too long. After all, when your torch tower flashing with holy light power appears, this place is no longer suitable for me to continue healing."

"I'm sorry, but that is indeed a way for me to resist the invasion of the necromantic rules," Shen Mu replied at this time. Of course, he knew that the torch tower flashing with holy light power that the vampire Isabel mentioned was the Holy Light Torch Tower of his Holy White Council.

However, a smile appeared in Shen Mu's heart.

Although the effective range of the Holy Light Torch Tower of the Holy White Council is only 1 kilometer, the light flashing on it can also be detected outside this 1 kilometer, which is also equivalent to saying that the light also poses a certain threat to these necromantic monsters.

Even if it is not a threat, it is a weakening.

And the strong are always quite sensitive to weakening, so she has already realized the significance of the Holy Light Torch Tower of the Holy White Council appearing here, so she really does not intend to continue healing here.

Timely departure can also avoid corresponding conflicts. After all, she does not dare to show all her strength in the current Blue Star world. As long as she shows her strength, it will be absorbed by the vacuum environment of Blue Star world's lack of extraordinary power. She simply cannot recover. Using a little extraordinary power will dissipate a lot of extraordinary power.

So, it is quite unwise to have a conflict with Shen Mu here, it is just a self-destructive behavior.

"Of course, there is no problem with 7 days, and thank you for your frankness," Shen Mu nodded, and 7 days was indeed acceptable to him.

"If there is nothing else, then I won't send you off." The vampire mother Isabel spoke again in the room: "Now, respected Lord Shen Mu, you have taken the initiative, and your troops and forces have indeed opened my eyes. If possible, after the spirit world completely descends on the Blue Star world, I think we will have many places to cooperate, and I am not just the kind of stupid low-level necromantic creature that exists dependent on the necromantic rules, but can be communicated and talked with, and can cooperate."

"Of course, our current cooperation is indeed quite frank, and I hope to have places to cooperate in the future," Shen Mu nodded, and did not reject Isabel's statement.

For him, there was nothing wrong with cooperating with this vampire mother.

If he could join forces to deal with some enemies, or make more friends, it would always be a good idea.

It's not bad to make a good relationship. (End of this chapter)
