Real Mount and Blade Game

Chapter 76 The Arrival of the Cavalry General

The bread and various foods under the Mount and Blade rules are no worse than those in the spiritual world.

It still has a soul!
Be able to eat your fill!
If you eat it regularly, you can supplement various nutrients, strengthen your body, and feed those soldiers!

Thinking of the soldiers, Shen Mu also began to calculate the results of last night's battle:

"There are still 189 villagers left to be upgraded. Perhaps if I clear the underground garage again this afternoon and defend against a wave of undead monsters roaming in the darkness and gray fog at night, I can upgrade all of them into Swadian recruits."

"This way, the 400 upgraded Swadian recruits from the villagers can all be transformed into 400 Swadian militiamen even if they complete their mission."

“It’s perfect!”

Shen Mu sighed.

My mood became more and more cheerful.

I originally thought that it would take four or five days to complete the task of turning all 400 villagers into Swadian recruits.

Didn't expect it now.

It only takes two days to do it.

"The rules of Mount and Blade, which use combat experience to upgrade soldiers and make them stronger, are like a dimensionality reduction strike against this doomsday world filled with undead monsters!"

Shen Mu leaned comfortably on the lord's bench and drank a cup of spring water fresh from Crescent Lake.

The cool spring water flows down my throat.

Behind him, the breeze from the Suno Plain appeared again and brushed past him.

It brings that pleasant breeze feeling.

"so perfect!"

Shen Mu could hardly suppress the smile on his face.

The rules of the dead suppress the rules of the spirit world and launch a dimensionality-reduction attack on the rules of the blue planet.

Then his own Mount and Blade rules perfectly matched the advantages of the Necromancer rules, and turned them into his own advantages, launching a dimensionality reduction attack.

Isn’t this perfect?

"The only concern is the so-called black tide and... the threat from the diesel company!"

Shen Mu turned his head and looked to the west.

That's the direction of the diesel company's headquarters.

Shen Mu was still a little frightened at this time: "Fortunately, I moved the castle and the stronghold out of the apartment and turned it into the village of "Derherim" today, and also built a circle of city walls."

In this way, even if a large force from the Diesel Company comes, we will be able to resist effectively.

You won’t be completely trapped in the apartment, which is an embarrassing situation.

"However, after experiencing the Black Tide, these troops under my command should be able to upgrade to a group of more elite troops."

At this time, Shen Mu thought of the 30 third-level Swadian light infantry who were also going out to fight.

After last night's battle.

Shen Mu speculated that these third-level Swadian light infantry had also gained some combat experience.

Perhaps we have reached the critical point for upgrading.

And the third-tier Swadian light infantry...

It is also a turning point for the Kingdom of Swadia!

Because when the third-level Swadian light infantry is further upgraded, it will become the most prestigious fourth-level cavalry king in the entire Calradia continent.

Swadian Heavy Cavalry!
"Next, there are 400 Swadian militiamen as line infantry and 65 Lake Rat Gang members as shock infantry. Obviously, there won't be too many infantry shortages."

Shen Mu pondered.

At the same time, he was thinking in his mind: "There are 50 mercenary crossbowmen, 30 Vikia archers, and 400 Swadian militiamen who can also use hunting crossbows. In this way, there will be no shortage of long-range archers."

So if you calculate it this way, it is indeed possible to chase down the enemy and attack the enemy formation.

The lethality is terrifying.

The heavy cavalry, known as the god of the battlefield, is missing!

"Then these 30 Swadian light infantry can all be upgraded to 30 Swadian heavy cavalry. Combined with the previous 10 Swadian heavy cavalry, I will have 40 heavy cavalry that can directly charge into the enemy's formation, tear through the enemy's defenses and formations, and take the initiative on the battlefield."

Shen Mu thought this way, and it set the tone for the next upgrade.

With 40 Swadian heavy cavalry in hand.

No matter what enemy you encounter.

The tactical initiative on the battlefield will be firmly in the hands of Shen Mu.

Thinking about it now, Shen Mu discovered it.

Whether it is the Orc tribe of Diesel Company or the Wood Elf village of Green Leaf Group.

Even those humans who have obtained the mark of the spiritual world and their spiritual followers.

One by one.

There are no cavalry!
All infantry!

Shen Mu and his predecessor were also unclear about the details.

But now it is clear.

When Shen Mu had cavalry, it was heavy cavalry with extremely strong impact capability.

So when the army is engaged in battle.

Tactical initiative.

It's like it's delivered to you for free!

Thinking of this, Shen Mu became more and more enthusiastic about the soldiers' leveling up.

"It's 11: noon now."

Shen Mu stood up and walked to the window, looking outside at the somewhat dim sun.

The time has been estimated.

I also made arrangements in my mind: "Bandak and the soldiers from last night came back and had some breakfast, and then slept from about 7 o'clock until now."

"Wake them up around 1pm, have some lunch, and then go to the underground garage to gain experience points in the afternoon. Come back before 6pm, have dinner, and then go to the wheat field to continue gaining experience points at night. The time is just right."

If we arrange it this way, although time is quite tight.

But it is efficient.

For these soldiers who came from the world of Mount and Blade and who had fought in the continent of Calradia, where conflicts and wars were constant among nations.

Still acceptable.

After all, on a brutal battlefield, fighting could last all day, or low-intensity battles could continue for weeks or months.

I've gotten used to it.

just now.

There is food, drinks, and the legendary figure Shen Mu is in charge here.

These soldiers who are eager to become famous, to make a name for themselves, and to have their names spread across the continent of Calradia can definitely withstand it!

And I am willing to eat now and I can accept it, and it feels easy and not that hard!
So it was around 1pm.

Bandak is still leading the team.

He called up 198 villagers who had not yet been upgraded, and took the Swadian sergeants and light infantry, as well as the members of the Lake Rat Gang, and quickly entered the underground garage.

Because of the experience last time.

The fighting continues.

I am familiar with the environment of the underground garage and know that the undead monsters on the second floor of the underground garage are stronger.

There are also systematic undead monsters that look like a legion of skeletons.

They fought more cautiously.

but.

The pace of advancement is not slow.

After easily killing all the undead monsters on the first floor of the underground garage.

The elite soldiers went down first with shields, and then followed with the villagers. Bandak led the Lake Rat Gang members himself and killed all the more threatening skeleton archers again.

The remaining skeleton spearmen or skeleton warriors were basically strangled to death.

So we entered the underground garage at 2 o'clock.

Wait until all are resolved.

It was just after 5 o'clock when we got back.

Not only can you have a good and sumptuous dinner, but after eating, you can also lean against the corner of the city wall and quietly wait for the night to fall at 6 o'clock.

Then we will start with the remaining villagers, who number less than 100 people...

Finished the final upgrade!

"Bandak, the battle tonight is still left to you to command." Shen Mu still chose to delegate power.

"I understand." Bandak nodded solemnly.

He is a very responsible person.

then.

After night falls.

Bandak then brought this smaller number of villagers, now less than a hundred people, as well as the more elite Swadian sergeants, the soon-to-be-upgraded Swadian light infantry, 40 veteran Lake Rat Gang thugs and the remaining 15 Lake Rat Gang newcomers, to the fields outside the city wall.

Once again, he continued to fight those undead monsters with greater ease.

After all, there are very few villagers now.

Those who participated in the battle were both veteran fighters and newcomers from the Swadian Light Infantry and the Lake Rat Gang.

In addition, there are also mercenary crossbowmen and Vigia archers on the southern city wall to provide support.

The battle became easier. After Shen Mu took a look, he turned around and returned to his castle hall with peace of mind.

Go to bed when it’s time to sleep and rest first.

Wait until you open your eyes.

Not only has the day dawned, the slightly dim sun has once again illuminated its own world.

A new dialog box has popped up on Shen Mu's retina.

[Ding! You and your troops resisted the attack of the undead monsters last night and escaped unscathed, winning the battle.]

[After the battlefield evaluation, you have obtained 1 'bronze-level' treasure chest. (There are currently 3 unopened brass-level treasure chests)]

"Oh, a brass-level treasure chest."

The first thing that appeared on Shen Mu's retina was the bronze-level treasure chest with the lowest value in the treasure chest.

Got 3 in three battles.

"Then open them all."

Shen Mu's thoughts communicated with the system.

He didn't have much hope for these brass-level treasure chests which were not of high value and basically contained civilian supplies.

And as I watched the treasure chest appear on my retina, it slowly began to open.

His guess was indeed correct.

[Ding! Congratulations, you have opened 3 'bronze level' treasure chests. ]

【You got from it...】

【①500 dinars. 】

【②800 dinars. 】

【③10 baskets of apples. 】

Then, right beside Shen Mu, data streams began to appear rapidly, and the reward for this time was materialized.

Two small wallets filled with 1300 dinars.

There were also 10 baskets filled with fist-sized apples that were red and green, looked extremely fresh, and were covered with morning dew. They exuded a rich apple scent as soon as they appeared.

This made Shen Mu, who had just eaten, feel hungry, so he walked over and took an apple.

I simply wiped it and put it in my mouth and took a bite.

'Crack.'

It has a crisp sound, is juicy when eaten, and has a sweet and slightly sour taste in the coolness.

Shen Mu was very satisfied.

"Someone come here." Shen Mu called out to the door of the castle hall.

"Master Shen Mu, please give your instructions."

Immediately, the Lake Rat Gang vandals stationed at the castle gate walked in.

"Give these apples a basket and give it to Miss Liu Na and her halfling followers on the second floor."

Shen Mu made arrangements: "Put all the other apples in the granary."

"Understood!" The Lake Rat Gang saboteur nodded immediately, then turned and left the castle, bringing a few Swadian recruits with him, and began to move and distribute the things according to Shen Mu's requirements.

Shen Mu didn't care about the specific situation.

He was still holding the apple, sitting on his lord's chair, watching the subsequent dialog boxes on his retina.

This is also the dialog box that Shen Mu pays the most attention to.

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

[① Villagers × 92, can be upgraded to 'Swadian Recruits (5 dinars each)'] 460
[② 15 new members of the Lake Rat Gang, can be upgraded to 'Lake Rat Gang Senior Fighter (50 Dinars)'] 750
[③ 10 Lake Rat Gang veteran fighters, can be upgraded to 'Lake Rat Gang Destroyers (100 dinars each)'] 1000
[④ Swadian Light Infantry x 30, can be upgraded to 'Swadian Infantry (100 denars each)/Swadian Heavy Cavalry (100 denars each)'] 3000
[All the above upgrades cost a total of 5210 dinars. 】

"Swadian Light Infantry, 30 men, all upgraded to Swadian Heavy Cavalry."

"The rest of the soldiers are all upgraded as well!"

Shen Mu made a decision immediately.

These were the decisions Shen Mu had already made yesterday.

'Om! '

The rules of Mount and Blade are here.

Then, in his mind, there suddenly appeared a rustling sound as if countless metal coins were colliding with each other.

This also means that his dinar is decreasing rapidly.

However, when the Mount and Blade rules came out in the form of data streams, it seemed calm, but in fact it was for those Mount and Blade soldiers who met the upgrade conditions.

But it's like the world is turned upside down!
Wait for the white light to dissipate.

The villagers wore coarse linen robes, carried large broken wooden shields on their backs, held spears in their hands, had firm faces, and after training, they knew how to fight.

Finally, I have gotten rid of the outline of the villagers.

All the new members of the Lake Rat Gang have become senior thugs of the Lake Rat Gang.

Still wearing leather, but more detailed.

The small-blade axes at the waist were uniformly replaced with woodland axes, which were made of stronger materials, more practical, and more lethal.

In addition, the original 8 harpoons in the backpack on his back were replaced with 10 harpoons.

It also increases the damage and durability of the throw.

Of course, there are also 10 veteran Lake Rat Gang thugs who have accumulated enough experience and finally become Lake Rat Gang saboteurs.

Among the fourth-tier troops, they are considered to be the top ones, second only to the fifth-tier troops. In some cases, they are even stronger than the fifth-tier troops, the heavy throwing shock infantry!

On his back were 10 hooked javelins.

In his hands he held a heavy round shield and an armor-piercing axe, and was additionally equipped with a steel serrated spear.

He wore a northern-style leather battle robe with chain mail, chain boots on his feet, and chain gloves on his hands.

Add a visor.

It could be said that the Lake Rat Gang’s veteran thugs had shed the appearance of light infantry.

Completely evolved into heavy throwing shock infantry!

On a more chaotic battlefield.

First, he threw the hooked javelin in his backpack in rounds, and then he used the heavy round shield, steel serrated spear, and the chain mail on his body to fight the enemy head-on.

The combat effectiveness has increased exponentially!
of course.

More eye-catching.

There were still those 30 men and their horses, all wearing heavy chain mail and flat-top helmets on their heads.

Cavalry spears, half-swords, maces and fan-shaped shields, all kinds of weapons and armor are available.

He rode a top-quality Swadian warhorse.

It looks majestic.

Just like other people's fifth-tier troops, the elite of the Kingdom of Swadia rely on their invincibility in field battles.

Fourth-tier heavy cavalry, Swadian heavy cavalry!
[Ding! Congratulations! Your mission "Villager Training" has been completed! ]

[Your 400 newly trained 'Swadian Recruits (First-Tier Infantry)' have been welcomed by the Kingdom of Swadia, who actively invited them to the Kingdom's training camp for training. Under the kind guidance of the instructors, all of them have been upgraded to 'Swadian Militia (Second-Tier Infantry)'. ]

[Because of your legendary reputation in the Kingdom of Swadia (+5 points), a group of about 50 hopeful Swadian peasants are willing to follow these militias and join you. ]

[At the same time, because your name is spread among the noble circles of the Kingdom of Swadia, a wandering knight with compassion and integrity also followed you. ]

[Nalot, a robber who was once a bankrupt businessman, heard from other robbers that you had established a "robbery meeting point", so he returned with the caravan that you had successfully established with his investment, loaded with goods and gratitude to you! ]

But just when Shen Mu was still in deep thought.

In front of him, more dialog boxes popped up, which made him look slightly stunned.

"50 new villagers, a wandering knight, and Nalot, the robber who was once a bankrupt businessman."

Shen Mu felt a little confused.

It was just a task completed, but it actually caused a chain reaction.

But Shen Mu also understood.

This is all thanks to my +5 legendary reputation in the Kingdom of Swadia.

Before, after completing tasks related to the Kingdom of Swadia, he received a lot of extra rewards due to his legendary reputation.

It seems to be the same now.

Come to the window.

Just to the east of the village wall, about 400 Swadian militiamen were lined up in neat rows and marching towards the city gate.

There was also a caravan guard of 10 men on travelling horses, 20 hired sentries, and 5 wagons loaded with goods pulled by pack horses.

"And the knight in chain mail, with a flat helmet, and a lance."

Shen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly.

Even though they were far away, Shen Mu could still see the knight who was riding the same Swadian warhorse. He had a strong and well-proportioned body, and his appearance was obviously different from that of the other caravan guards!

I thought to myself: "Noble birth, knight, upright character... It seems that he is the same as Bandak, one of the two kind knight NPCs in Mount and Blade."

I just don’t know if it’s Fatis or Aileyen.

Shen Mu is considered a high-level player after all.

That's quite familiar with the two famous NPCs.

So he turned and walked towards the castle gate, intending to go down to the village gate himself to welcome this new NPC, a cavalry general-type talent who could assist him in command.
