Real Mount and Blade Game

Chapter 21: Deployed Light Ballista

Nalot and his two robber friends who followed him left Shen Mu's base carrying nearly 2 pieces of iron products.

Just like when he came, he turned into a shadow from the wheat field and gradually and completely disappeared.

"Master Shen Mu, those three guys have left."

The new members of the Lake Rat Gang came back to report.

"Yeah." Shen Mu nodded, his tone calm: "I understand. Next time you come, maybe we can be real friends."

Shen Mu waved his hand, signaling the new member of the Lake Rat Gang to return to the gate connecting the main house and the wheat field to continue standing guard.

At the door leading to the corridor, two Swadian light infantrymen were standing guard.

The division of labor between them is very clear.

As for the location of the shooting holes, the 10 mercenary sentinels were standing guard and resting with light crossbows, and it was up to the mercenary sentinels to arrange it themselves.

Including the Swadian light infantry and recruits who were already sleeping on the floor of the main house.

Everything seems to be in good order.

"It's time for me to go back to bed." Shen Mu glanced out the window. It was still dark, with gray fog flowing and the rules of the undead filling the night.

It still looks scary, dangerous, evil and weird.

just.

For Shen Mu, the absolute fear had quietly disappeared with the appearance of these mounted and swordsman soldiers.

Shen Mu walked up the steep stairs to the second floor of the main house, opened his own bedroom and walked in.

A simple but sturdy wooden bed, with soft straw on top, animal skins on top, and a hand-sewn wool blanket.

Although it is slightly worse than the Simmons mattress and down quilt I slept on before.

But it fell on Shen Mu.

Brought.

But it is a kind of peace of mind and warmth that can even protect the soul.

"This is not an illusion, but the truth." Shen Mu lay on the bed, thinking about this: "It should be the Mount and Blade rules that have taken effect."

In the past, even when I slept next to a campfire, I could feel the chill that came from my soul.

That should be the erosion of the rules of the dead.

It's warm now.

It is the protection that the Mount and Blade rules provide him!

"By the way, remember I have a bronze-level treasure chest that I haven't opened yet."

Shen Mu thought of something before going to bed.

Thoughts communicate the system again.

[Ding! You opened the 'bronze treasure chest'. ]

[Congratulations! You have obtained 1 'Light Crossbow'. ]

In front of my eyes, a dialog box immediately refreshed on my retina.

And in Shen Mu's mind, a brass card with a crossbow pictured on it appeared.

Then the secondary page about the crossbow expands.

[Item name: Light crossbow]

[Item Description: This is a lightweight version of the powerful crossbow. After being wound up by a winch, it can shoot out a one-meter-long short spear, which can effectively kill enemies within a range of 150 meters.]

[Prop Description: 2 people are required to operate it, and a 3m x 3m space is required when it is unfolded. ]

"Light crossbow." Shen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was a hint of surprise on his face.

This is really a jackpot.

Especially before the demon monster army is about to attack their stronghold, there is such a powerful weapon.

It's like the Pulas version of providing timely assistance!
“It’s installed on the second floor.”

Shen Mu thought for a moment and made a decision.

Right next to Shen Mu's bedroom, near the corridor, is a room where the mercenary sentries who are not on duty rest and prepare for battle.

"Buzz!" A mysterious force descended first, and then a stream of data appeared instantly from between Shen Mu's eyebrows.

They entangled with each other and turned into white light and began to appear.

When the white light gradually fades away.

A brand new crossbow, as if it had just been completed, with a two-meter crossbow arm and a three-meter main body, appeared there.

The wooden trough exuded a slightly smelly smell of lubricating oil, and the iron parts were painted and looked shiny black.

And next to this crossbow, the data stream finally entangled with it.

White light flashes.

Thirty short spears were stuck in three wooden barrels filled with wine.

The densely packed ones are like giant hedgehogs, giving any friendly troops standing nearby a sense of absolute security. The light crossbow, although the word "light" is in its name, is still a crossbow!

Not to mention ordinary soldiers.

Even a heavily armored warrior who is fully armed, wearing heavy armor and holding the thickest kite-shaped shield will be terrified when facing a crossbow.

Even if they have iron shields, they are heavy cavalry with plate armor on both their horses and men.

Within a distance of 50 meters.

We must pay tribute to this light crossbow.

"With this kind of crossbow, it is equivalent to having a Rhodok sniper crossbowman." Shen Mu chuckled.

And when defending the city.

The effect of a light crossbow is sometimes even stronger than that of a Rhodok sniper crossbowman!

E.g…

It's right outside the second floor, and can be aimed directly at the narrow corridor from the elevator room on the seventh floor of the apartment to the main house of the base!

With these mercenary sentinels, Shen Mu knew just by thinking about it that this corridor would definitely be turned into a corridor of death!
"Really good." Shen Mu fell asleep easily.

But, it's outside.

Apartment on the seventh floor.

On the diagonal side of the sun shape.

Room 7040.

A thicker gray fog began to diffuse out from the crack in the door.

Moreover, an increasingly strong stench of sulfur began to appear on this floor as the gray fog spread.

If you observe carefully.

He could actually find that there seemed to be some kind of madness, chaos, and tyranny gathering in this crack of the door.

A little bit of convergence.

as.

An egg about to hatch!
……

The next day, early in the morning.

The moment the first ray of sunlight appeared, the eternal darkness and thick gray fog that shrouded the entire blue planet instantly dissipated.

Only in some corners and dark places where the sun doesn't shine, there is still darkness and gray fog.

But on the vast land, there are cities, mountains and rivers.

Various buildings, factories, and special buildings.

They also appeared one after another.

It was as if everything had returned to the glorious days of Blue Star.

"It's so comfortable." Shen Mu lifted the thin wool blanket, sat up from the bed, and looked out the window with squinting eyes.

It was still a little dark, but the sun had risen and it was getting brighter.

Shen Mu lifted the wooden board that served as a window.

Outside the apartment, the tall buildings in the distance looked like a steel jungle in the city center, which made him stunned.

"Longcheng." The name of the city emerged in Shen Mu's mind.

It is also a general name for this area.

The city where I lived for seventeen or eighteen years.

as well as.

During the three years of darkness, no one dared to approach easily because it was a devil’s den full of danger, terror, and death threats.

Skyscrapers were once a symbol of the glory and prosperity of the Blue Star city.

but.

When the rules of death come.

The huge underground shopping malls, civil air defense facilities, underground garages and subway networks have become a breeding ground for undead monsters.

Not to mention at night, even during the day, if it wasn't bright at noon, there would be a thin gray fog.

If it is a cloudy day, even undead monsters will appear!

"And it will be even more dangerous if we encounter a black tide." Shen Mu pursed his lips, and deep fear appeared in his eyes when he thought of this word.

Because according to the memory of my predecessor, the black tide that appears every three months seems to be coming soon!
But at this moment, there was a knock on the bedroom door.

"Dang Dang Dang."

At the same time, a Swadian light infantryman's voice came from outside: "Lord Shen Mu, there is a neighbor outside who claims to be from the fifth floor and wants to see you."
