Real Mount and Blade Game

Chapter 30: The Choice of Upgrading Arms

To be honest, Shen Mu was really happy.

After all, there were 30 Swadian light infantry, 50 Swadian peasants, and 25 Swadian robbers, a total of 105 people joining.

Including his current 45 members, Shen Mu's subordinates have directly reached the population mark of 150!
This improvement in strength made Shen Mu really happy.

"Let our friends who have come from afar eat their fill first, and then have a good night's rest. Tomorrow we will start the busy work at our base."

Shen Mu made arrangements.

Let the light infantry, who are also Swadians, first welcome these deserters, refugees and robbers into the room where the wheat field is located.

After all, the rules that exist there are those of the Mount and Blade world, not the rules of the Necromancer world, so it is a good place to rest.

"We... are grateful for your hospitality, Master Shen Mu!"

The refugees and robbers were all very moved. They bowed respectfully to Shen Mu in front of the long table one by one before entering the room in the wheat field.

Especially those 30 Swadian light infantrymen who were still standing in a row. They had no choice but to become deserters after being defeated on the front line. Because of shame, they did not want and dared not return to the new capital of Paraven, so they came to Shen Mu, wanting to get rid of their status as deserters and have a new beginning.

When they arrived here, Lord Shen Mu did not inquire about their current identities, and still regarded them as the former Swadian light infantry.

How could this not make these light infantrymen who had experienced desertion feel grateful and extremely moved?
Therefore, after the 30 Swadian light infantrymen hammered their chests, they turned around and entered the room where the wheat field was. Each of them had a serious face and red eyes, and it was obvious that they had raised their loyalty to Shen Mu to the maximum!
In other words, the soldiers who come to this different world are trustworthy in terms of loyalty.

But sometimes, extremely high loyalty means being willing to fight to the death for a name, a slogan, or an order.

When these newly joined Swadian light infantry entered the room in the wheat field.

Inside the main house of the outpost, the kitchen was busy again.

Those are hired sentries helping in the kitchen.

Fresh wheat porridge, crumbs of bread toasted to a crisp, and Blue Star native syrup simmering in a little jar.

There are also various chopped vegetables and various beans found.

As well as frozen meat and canned food, etc.

All of them were mixed together and added to the big pot, making the boiling wheat porridge even more flavorful.

To Shen Mu, this hodgepodge tasted worse than the food he ate from cans.

But for the Mount and Blade soldiers who came from poor backgrounds and were behind the times.

these foods.

Especially foods that have been added with various seasonings that have no nourishing effect but still have sweet and salty tastes.

It's like a delicacy!
"Wow...it's delicious! So yummy!"

"Even the landlords in our area can't afford this!"

"Delicious! Oatmeal porridge with salt!"

"And bread coated with sugar! Sweeter than honey!"

"It's the same as what our manor owner eats!"

So in the wheat field, the newly joined Swadian light infantry, the arriving Swadian refugees, and the robbers all held wooden bowls and ate the still hot food in big mouthfuls.

They ate voraciously, even sucking on food residues on their fingers that were dirty and unwashed from the rush.

There was an intoxicated expression on his face.

The mercenary sentinels who were carrying the big pots, small jars, and baked bread all had strange looks on their faces.

Of course, these are all matters for the Mount and Blade soldiers themselves.

Shen Mu was still busy with his own things.

"It will be dawn in about 3 hours..."

Shen Mu estimated the time at this time. This is a skill that every Blue Star person who has entered the terrifying era of the undead rules possesses.

So he reached out and gently twisted the silver ring on his left index finger, a low-level supply ring from the Einfas Empire.

"Use!" Shen Mu's thought communication system.

The system also communicated the low-level battlefield magic injected into the ring.

'Om—'

An extremely special wave instantly began to emerge from between Shen Mu's brows, and then acted on the silver ring on his finger.

Then it broke out in an instant, mixed with countless fragmented data streams, and suddenly fell on many Mounted and Bladed soldiers in the main house of the stronghold.

So in the quiver that the mercenary sentinel took off, which had originally shriveled up with only two or three or no crossbow arrows left, at this time, a fragmented data stream materialized the phantoms of the crossbow arrows at an extremely fast speed.

Wait for the white light formed by the data stream to dissipate.

In the originally shriveled quiver, neatly arranged crossbow arrows with tail feathers, straight arrow shafts and iron arrowheads appeared again!
This scene also appeared in the backpacks of the new members of the Lake Rat Gang, where the harpoons that had been thrown were found.

On the rooftop of the second floor of the stronghold, from the wine barrel next to the crossbow, there were spears being shot out.

At this time, all these basic consumable weapons have been replenished.

"Is this battlefield replenishment magic? It's quite interesting..."

Shen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly at this time, and glanced at the quiver of the hired sentinel placed in the corner, which had been refilled, and was also a little surprised. But the fine product of Mount and Blade was indeed surprising and pleasantly surprised.

This time, I just wanted to try out this so-called battlefield magic.

The effect was unexpected.

very perfect.

Shen Mu was very satisfied.

"Of course." Shen Musi communicated with the system again, and the dialog box on his retina refreshed again: "There are more important troop upgrades."

[Ding! You have soldiers that can be upgraded! ]

[10 new members of the Lake Rat Gang, can be upgraded to: Lake Rat Gang veteran fighters (heavy-armored throwing infantry)]

[Upgrading to a senior thug of the Lake Rat Gang (Level 50) requires dinars per person. 】

[Swadian Light Infantry x 25, can be upgraded to: ①Swadian Infantry (Heavy Melee Infantry) / ②Swadian Heavy Cavalry (Heavy Cavalry)]

[Upgrading to Swadian Infantry (Level 100) requires 100 denars/Swadian Heavy Cavalry (Level ) denars per person. 】

【Please make your own choice. 】

"finally come."

Shen Mu didn't care about the dinar issue.

Instead, he looked carefully at the upgrades of the troops in the dialog box, especially the upgrades of the troops of the Kingdom of Swadia.

The upgrades for the Lake Rat Gang's troops are all heavy throwing infantry, there are no branches, just climb the upgrade tree.

But the upgrade of Swadian Light Infantry is different.

As the third-tier troops of the Swadia Kingdom and the most important transitional branch point, there are two options for upgrading to the fourth-tier troops.

One is an upgraded version of the light infantry, the Swadian Infantry.

Equipped with better blouse heavy chain mail, iron combination helmet, heavy fan-shaped shield, hand and half sword and spear, it has standard line-carrying ability.

It can be considered as a qualified heavy infantryman.

But the second one is the essence of the Kingdom of Swadia.

That’s why the Kingdom of Swadia is known to be invincible on the plains, sweeping away all enemies. Even though Hardy is so reckless, he can still suppress the other four countries in the wild.

Cavalry type of troops!
It is also the only one among the four countries that possessed cavalry. During the period of the fourth-level cavalry, both the cavalry and their horses were all heavily armored, armed with lances, and were well-trained heavy cavalry that could form a wall and charge!

That’s right, the cavalry upgrade of the Swadian light infantry is the Swadian heavy cavalry!

They were equipped with cavalry spears that were more than 4 meters long, heavy half-hand swords, cavalry fan-shaped shields, and combat hoes for breaking armor.

He was wearing a smock and heavy chain mail, a flat-crowned helmet, and even chain mail greaves on his legs.

And most importantly,
They were all Swadian warhorses, all wearing smocks and chain mail.

In the Kingdom of Swadia, which focuses on manor economy and territory economy, and is trained in racecourses, this Swadian war horse has the best physique, speed, and strength, and serves as the mount of the Swadian heavy cavalry.

It also created the great reputation of the Swadian heavy cavalry!
Sometimes on the battlefield.

The Swadian knights with stronger impact power led the charge, followed by the Swadian heavy cavalry.

Compared to other countries, even the knights of level five would be terrified!

Swadian heavy cavalry can even be classified as a 4.7-level unit!

in the wild.

Even if we encounter the sixth-level Nord Royal Guards, as long as the terrain is suitable and the number of heavy cavalry is sufficient, it is hard to say who will win or lose!

This is the confidence of the heavy cavalry!
"But how should I choose?"

Shen Mu was unable to make a decision for this reason.

The Swadian heavy cavalry is really good, with strong combat effectiveness, and its mobility and impact force are invincible in a small space.

But it was precisely because Shen Mu took into consideration the current small environment.

It’s on the seventh floor of the apartment.

Narrow corridor.

The most cost-effective aspect of the Swadian heavy cavalry, that is, its super mobility and excellent tactical movement on plains or in the wild, was directly destroyed!
And look at the 1.5-meter width of the corridor.

It's easy to rush forward.

It's difficult to turn around.

"We can't treat these Swadian heavy cavalry as disposable troops, right?"

Shen Mu sighed: "That would be too extravagant."

That's too stupid.

It's really hard to decide.
