Real Mount and Blade Game

Chapter 28: A Refreshing Victory

The moment the horned demon was killed by the crossbow's three spears, the demons knew that the situation on the battlefield was bad.

Demons are indeed intelligent, thinking creatures of the abyss.

It just looks extremely violent.

The destructive power is astonishing.

But when these demons are slaughtered and begin to fall behind in battle, the fear they should have will still appear.

After all, the birth of the abyss creatures like demons is the result of the soul fragments of countless creatures being violently condensed by the will of the bottomless abyss, and eventually evolving into demon worms.

In essence, these demons also have all the negative emotions that spiritual creatures have.

Including fear and terror.

"Roar! Woof woof woof!"

Even those hellhounds with lower IQ and more ferocious were baring their teeth and making gestures as if they were about to pounce, but they did not even take a single step forward, which only proved that they were bluffing!
After the commander of this small group of demons, the horned demons, was killed, according to the previous practice of these demons, they were about to collapse on the spot!
The reason why it is still in a stalemate.

It was simply because the horned demon died too quickly and these demons hadn’t reacted yet!

Just because these demons were unable to react, it didn’t mean that Shen Mu, who had been observing and directing the battle in the rear, didn’t react.

"Lance Phalanx! Push forward!"

Shen Mu walked forward holding a torch.

"move forward!"

At the same time, as Shen Mu's orders were given, the Swadian light infantry really slowly stepped forward.

Following Shen Mu's steps forward, he held up a hedgehog-like phalanx of spears and began to squeeze the distance and space between the hellhounds and the little demons step by step.

He even pointed the sharp spear at the faces of the hellhounds and little demons in front of him!

Shen Mu wanted to use this narrow corridor to wipe out all the demon troops that dared to invade!
"Buzz...Bang!"

And just as Shen Mu and the Swadian light infantry's spear phalanx advanced forward, the three-layer crossbows had not stopped firing.

The spears once again bombarded the most crowded areas of the demon troops.

A bloody path was blasted out again.

As long as they are hit by the spear, no matter it is a hellhound or a little devil, no matter its claws or torso, they will all be smashed to pieces.

"Quack! Quack! Quack!"

As a result, the little demons, who were already terrified by the death of the horned demon who was their commander, fled backwards in fear, which caused even more chaos, congestion, and trampling and collisions!

As a result, those little demons who could have united together and cooperated with each other to fight Shen Mu and the Swadian light infantry started fighting each other for a chance to escape.

It makes the scene even more chaotic and the situation even more difficult to control!
"Buzz...Bang!"

'Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!'

Plus the shooting from ballistae and hired sentries.

Groups of little demons fell to the ground like moths trapped in smoke, still struggling, begging and howling in an attempt to escape.

But he was then caught up by the Swadian light infantry, stabbed to death with spears on the marble floor of the corridor that was already stained red with blood.

He couldn't even struggle a few times.

Didn't even resist.

Just like that, they collapsed because of fear, and because of the collapse, they became even more afraid, which led to a more complete collapse, and they were so afraid that they completely lost the ability to resist.

The road from the main house of Shen Mu’s base, to the elevator and the two forks on the left and right, all became roads of death!
"Kill! Long live Swadia!"

At this time, the Swadian light infantry had already abandoned their spears, and even the spear phalanx had been disbanded.

They wore fan-shaped shields in their left hands and held Germanic swords in their right hands.

Some of them held torches and followed the direction of the retreating little demons, chasing them excitedly!
It's not just these Swadian light infantry.

When those little demons were out of the range of the crossbow, the 10 new members of the Lake Rat Gang who were operating the crossbow on the top floor and acting as a reserve team, simply picked up their small axes, went down the stairs into the corridor, caught up with the team of Swadian light infantry, and chased after the little demons with a grin on their faces.

"Hehehehehehe!" These new members of the Lake Rat Gang, who originally started out as half fishermen and half professional bandits, were really excited.

The small-blade axe in his hand is very well made.

Make sure to swing at the right angle every time, so that you can inflict heavy damage to any enemy or creature you chop!
Those little demons, who were already weak, flapped their wings and crawled forward.

The new member of the Lake Rat Gang who was caught up was hit on the back of the head with a small blade axe.

His head exploded on the spot.

He immediately fell to the ground without making any sound.

Even if it saw the remaining hellhounds in front of it, they were even less intelligent and kept howling like trapped beasts, trying to pounce.

He simply threw the fish dart out from the backpack behind him.

A javelin, also one meter long, with an extremely slender and sharp tip, usually used to stab fish in shallow waters, was thrown at the face of the hellhound or the approaching figure almost as a conditioned reflex.

This close-range throwing damage was an enhanced version of the powerful killing power. Whether it was the hellhound or the little devil who dared to counterattack, they were pierced by the harpoon on the spot.

Then he fell heavily to the ground.

Then he rushed forward in three or two steps, picked up the small blade axe in his hand, and hit the new member of the Lake Rat Gang on the head hard, completely understanding life!

"Kill!" The new members of the Lake Rat Gang shouted excitedly.

"kill!"

The Swadian light infantry also cheered in response.

Only Shen Mu, who was behind this group of soldiers and did not engage in the front-line combat, was holding a fan-shaped shield and a Germanic sword, with a smile on his face that never faded.

In just ten minutes, the offensive and defensive situation was completely reversed.

The demon army came to invade Shenmu.

Instead, he was hunted down by Shen Mu's troops!

Except for those mercenary sentinels who are still stationed in the main building, who dare not leave easily, holding crossbows and with envious looks on their faces.

Now, 25 Swadian light infantrymen and 10 new members of the Lake Rat Gang are hunting down hundreds of little demons, stepping on the little demon corpses and the sticky, smelly blood on the ground, and carrying out a slaughterhouse-like...

massacre!

"Stop!"

All the way to the door of Room 7040.

Those promoted little demons flapped their bat wings, screamed and rushed in, as frightened as drowned dogs.

Shen Mu then spoke and stopped the soldiers who had been chasing the enemy to the point of excitement and even madness.

Especially holding a torch and looking at the dark, completely destroyed door of Room 7040.

Darkness and gray fog gathered inside.

Out of caution, Shen Mu waved his hand and led these soldiers who were gradually recovering to line up and return to the main house of their base.

When daytime comes, you can enter this spiritual world and explore without any worries.

Right now anyway.

With the absolute advantage of geographical location, he defeated the demon army in this spiritual scene in the corridor of the apartment.

With a chasing range of less than a hundred meters, I'm afraid that two or three hundred little demons were killed directly.

Although more than half of them escaped.

But they have lost the horned demons and hellhounds, which were the main demons in the demon army.

Just some little demons.

What kind of storm can it cause?
"Return to the base and take a brief rest first."

Shen Mu issued an order.

Back at the door of the main house of the stronghold, the strong smell of blood and sulfur almost rushed to my head as my mind slowed down.

Shen Mu, who didn't have much of a germaphobia, could only endure it by covering his nose with a wet towel.

Fortunately, the soldiers from the Mount and Blade world can endure it.

After all, in the continent of Calradia, whether it is the Mount and Blade background or the Overlord background, it looks like a paradise for heroes or nobles to achieve great things, but in fact it is a cruel hell for soldiers of ordinary origin.

There were brutal sieges, immoral massacres of villages, robberies of merchants and killings of villagers, and corpses left uncollected after the battles.

This strong smell of blood and stench is really just that.

These Mounted Blade soldiers could even sit on the corpses and eat the sticky oatmeal cooked in the kitchen from wooden bowls.

By the way, they laughed and ridiculed their comrades-in-arms for their cowardly performance on the battlefield and for showing off the heads they had snatched away.

This is not a joke.

Instead, it was happening in the corridor outside the main house of Shen Mu's base, where the Swadian light infantry and the new members of the Lake Rat Gang were taking a brief rest!

Shen Mu sat at the head of the long table, also holding a wooden bowl filled with sticky oatmeal porridge.

His face was stunned.

Because right on his retina, the dialog box has appeared.

[Ding! This is a great victory! ]

[Based on the perfect performance of you and your subordinates on the battlefield, you have received 1 'Silver Treasure Box'. ]

【You completed the task! 】

【You have received the following rewards...】
