Real Mount and Blade Game

Chapter 57 The Hero Who Came to Refuge

Shen Mu looked down carefully and saw various buildings neatly arranged within the village.

From civilian buildings to special buildings, as well as the 32 acres of farmland that are deliberately distributed on the relatively flat land in the south of the village, which is an additional gift from the village template.

However, what Shen Mu cared more about was a hill-like protrusion of about 5 acres to the north of the village.

A hill formed by stacking reinforced concrete.

About 10 meters high.

There are cliffs on three sides.

Only in the south, facing the village, is there a zigzag, winding road about 10 meters wide.

Just above the road is the castle's main building and the village elders' main house, which covers about half an acre.

"It will be much safer this way."

Shen Mu nodded with satisfaction.

What made Shen Mu even more satisfied was that just outside the village covering an area of ​​half a hectare, there was a circle of walls that were also 10 meters high and 5 meters wide. They were made entirely of reinforced concrete and molded by the power of mysterious rules.

Only on the west side, there was a gap about 5 meters wide, like a pass.

It can be considered a clear access passage.

[Ding! Your Magic Ball modification permission is about to expire, please be prepared to return! ]

[Countdown: 00 hours, 00 minutes, 69 seconds.] (The author refuses to admit the time error)
When the countdown ends.

A special feeling of falling suddenly appeared in Shen Mu's heart, making him subconsciously close his eyes.

And wait until you open your eyes again.

Shen Mu has returned to his empty castle hall, which is now crowded with wounded soldiers.

Sitting on his lord's chair.

"grown ups."

Standing in front of him was a Swadian infantryman, his gray-black chain mail stained with blood.

Zheng reported in a heavy tone: "The casualties have been counted. Please allow me to report to you."

"Well, tell me about it." Shen Mu nodded.

"In this battle, we had 13 Swadian infantrymen killed, 24 seriously injured, and 8 slightly injured."

"Four of the Lake Rat Gang's senior thugs were seriously injured, and six were slightly injured."

"Seven Lake Rat Gang newcomers were seriously injured and nine were slightly injured."

"The loot we have seized has not yet been fully counted. They are all crude iron weapons."

"We counted 477 enemy bodies. According to the reports from the Lake Rat Gang members who chased us out earlier, about 20 enemies also escaped."

The Swadian infantryman reported seriously.

"Ah."

Shen Mu nodded: "I understand."

This did not surprise Shen Mu, especially the death of only 13 Swadian infantrymen.

This made Shen Mu feel a little painful in his heart, but also secretly satisfied.

After all, this bloody battle was entirely thanks to these Swadian infantrymen who stood in the front. With the help of excellent weapons and equipment and strong physique, they were able to withstand the impact of those pig-headed men.

This gave Shen Mu's long-range soldiers behind him, whether they were crossbowmen or ballistae, as well as those members of the Lake Rat Gang who were throwing harpoons and harpoons, enough space to display their skills.

Otherwise, it would be really difficult to win this battle.

"Master Shen Mu, I have a suggestion and would like to explain the situation to you."

At this moment, the Swadian infantryman suddenly spoke with a hesitant tone, and his bloodstained face seemed to have something difficult to say.

"You go on." Shen Mu motioned for him to continue.

These are real people, with their own personalities.

And after spending these few days together, Shen Mu also realized that he must not really treat these Mounted Blade soldiers under his command as NPCs.

We must also learn to respect these brave warriors who fight and struggle for their own lives.

[Ding! The temporary system detected an event! ]

[Temporary mission release: Choice.]

[Mission Introduction: These infantrymen from Swadia lived up to their original oath in the barracks and were willing to defend the glory of the Kingdom of Swadia with their lives. They died bravely and proudly in the battle. But their companions, these Swadians, wanted to return to their hometowns for burial even after death. Now, a Swadian infantryman has made this suggestion to you.]

[Mission conditions: You can choose to 'transport the bodies of these fallen Swadian infantrymen back to their hometowns/bury them on the spot' to handle them in different ways. ]

[Conditional Reward ① Transport back home: You need to pay 100 dinars per person to transport the bodies of these Swadian infantrymen and their weapons and equipment back home. All existing troops will have +5 morale, and your legendary reputation in the Kingdom of Swadia will be +1 point.]

[Conditional Reward ② Bury on the spot: You don't need to pay, just bury the bodies. You will also get the weapons and equipment of these Swadian infantry, because in this cruel alien world, your soldiers will understand what you do and will not have negative emotions. ]

"Huh?" Shen Mu was stunned. He was really surprised by this sudden temporary task.

Quickly look at the dialog box content on the retina.

Shen Mu frowned.

"Is it about how these bodies were disposed of?"

Obviously, the first way to deal with it is to spend 100 dinars per person to transport the bodies of the 13 fallen Swadian infantrymen, along with their weapons and equipment, back to the Kingdom of Swadia for burial.

The second method is much simpler, which is to find a place nearby to bury the bodies.

The former paid in dinars and gained in morale and prestige.

The latter is to directly obtain a batch of weapons and equipment.

"..."

Shen Mu communicated directly to the system: "Choose the first method! Transport the bodies of these Swadian infantrymen back to the Kingdom of Swadia!"

Does this still require a choice?

This is equivalent to 1300 dinars, which directly grants +5 morale points and +1 reputation point with the Kingdom of Swadia.

Compared to the reward of only 13 sets of equipment.

It's like the difference between heaven and earth!

Just after Shen Mu made his choice, a densely packed dialog box appeared in front of him again.

[Ding! You chose to transport the bodies of the Swadian infantrymen back home! Your good deed boosted the morale of your soldiers! Your reputation in the Kingdom of Swadia has increased!]

[Ding! Your Swadia Kingdom's legendary reputation has reached 5 points! In the kingdom, whether it is the elders or the young children, they have all heard of your name and your deeds! The nobles praise you, the common people admire you, and even the robbers living in the dark ravines are extremely fanatical when they hear your name! ]

[Congratulations! Because your legendary reputation in the Kingdom of Swadia has reached +5 points! A group of about 100 Swadian civilians, mixed with your rewards, a small wave of immigrants, have come to join you! ]

[Congratulations! Hearing about your deeds, a hero who is proficient in using crossbow weapons, Bandak, has brought 20 hired crossbowmen and your reward ③ Light Crossbow to join you! ]

[Congratulations! Because the robbers' lair was breached and they were desperate, about 30 robbers in Nalot heard about you and were willing to unite and come to you! ]

Moreover, the contents of these dialog boxes were actually combined with the rewards Shen Mu had obtained before.

An additional benefit was generated!

Of course, this had happened in a previous battle, so Shen Mu was not too surprised.

But when he saw one of the rewards, his eyebrows slightly raised: "Bandak?!"

the name...

It sounds very familiar to him!

But at this moment, the originally dim castle hall became completely dark.

Shen Mu was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed drastically.

it's dark!
And he, who had just come out of the magic ball's authority...had not yet given the order to light the bonfire!
