Real Mount and Blade Game

Chapter 87: Pollution of the Abyssal Consciousness

"Mark of the Spirit World."

Shen Mu walked forward and looked at the dark red crystal that was still rotating, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

To be honest, this was the second time he had seen this kind of spiritual mark.

The first time was in the spirit world scene in the apartment.

Even if it is my previous incarnation, it is my own self in a parallel world with the same name and surname in this Blue Star world.

That's the third time at most.

"The last mark of the spiritual world directly allowed me to obtain a castle main building."

Shen Mu was moved at this time: "So what can you bring me this time?"

Under the protection of the 40 dismounted Swadian heavy cavalry and Fatis, Shen Mu stepped on the slightly warm but not hot black shell that looked like a scab on magma and finally came to the dark red crystal.

Then he slowly stretched out his hand and directly grasped the floating spiritual mark.

'Om! '

Almost at the moment when Shen Mu reached out and grasped the mark of the spiritual world, a fierce force of resistance began to spread instantly.

Right above the sky, there was a deep crack in the abyss that spanned for several miles and looked like the eyes of a demon. It emitted countless dark red strange lights, which fell directly from the sky and covered the head of Shen Mu, who had placed his hand on the dark red crystal!
At the same time, in this dark red light, with just a slight perception, one can sense a violent and restless emotion permeating it.

If there was a normal human being here, he would just take a look at the dark red light.

That will cause a drastic change in one's mind and make one extremely angry.

If there is an enemy here.

I will definitely pounce on him and kill him with every method I know!
At this moment, a violent emotion was surging in Shen Mu's heart.

Countless images emerged in my mind.

Especially the last memory of his predecessor, which was an obsession that even Shen Mu could not forget after he traveled through time and replaced him.

He was threatened and intimidated unreasonably by the Diesel Company, and the opportunity that should have belonged to him was snatched away.

The mark of the spiritual world that may gain spiritual creatures as followers!
'Om! '

But just when the dark red light completely enveloped Shen Mu, another strange change occurred.

A ray of emerald green light naturally began to emerge from the heart of Shen Mu's chest, bringing a cool and refreshing feeling, like the spring breeze, the coolness of summer, the fragrance of autumn flowers, and the silence of winter.

Shen Mu's expression changed slightly, and he got rid of the hatred in his previous life!

"This..." Shen Mu muttered to himself subconsciously.

Lift your head straight up.

At this moment, he was in the center of the dark red light, looking at what seemed like a huge demon's eye above his head. It was staring at him through the crack in the sky, cold, twisted, tyrannical, crazy, and with countless negative emotions!

Shen Mu was fully equipped with the holy tree chain armor with mithril added, helmet, greaves, gloves, weapons, etc.

They all started to feel slightly hot!
"Abyssal consciousness!"

The cool feeling in Shen Mu's heart gave him some information: "They want to... transform me!"

'Om! '

Just when this thought just appeared.

Between Shen Mu's eyebrows, countless white light data streams rushed out suddenly, as if they had chosen to lie in wait and lure the enemy into their encirclement.

Countless white data streams swallowed up the dark red crystal in Shen Mu's hand in an instant.

And it began to spread in all directions.

Not only in the blink of an eye, but also with countless data streams, it swallowed up the surrounding lava throne and the dark red floating crystal shadow above it.

It was even heading towards the source of the dark red light above its head.

The abyss crack and the abyss consciousness inside swallowed up the past!

'Om! '

Just above his head, the abyss consciousness contained in the crack of the abyss, which belonged to the fragment of pan-consciousness, directly cut off the dark red light.

Originally, it was suspended in the air, spanning several miles, and it was actually an abyss crack that appeared in the black tide.

Actually, under Shen Mu's gaze, it slowly closed.

It's like closing your eyes.

Along with the dark red strange light, it completely disappeared into the closed crack in the sky.

'Om! '

The white data stream hit nothing.

Then, as if angry and humiliated, it changed direction in mid-air and turned directly into a large net like countless data streams, rushing down to the ground.

To be precise, it should have pounced on the ground which had turned into a bottomless abyss due to the appearance of the abyss crack.

And at this moment, he was still standing there, looking at the scene in front of him.

The dialog box refreshed on Shen Mu's retina.

[Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully completed the fifth wave of missions, discovered the core of the abyss power spreading in this area, the Lava Throne, and destroyed it. ]

[You have obtained the mission stage reward - opening a large spirit world scene. ]

Finally, the content on the dialog box indicated that Shen Mu’s temporary mission after entering the Black Tide this time had been completed.

'Om! '

In the palm of Shen Mu's hand, he found that the dark red crystal, which was about half the size of his fist, was trembling slowly.

Then, under the erosion of countless data streams materialized from Shen Mu's Mount and Blade system.

‘Crash! ’

The dark red color in the crystal turned into a pool of filthy blood, which flowed along Shen Mu's fingers and fell to his feet.

Then, before anything changed, when Shen Mu's heart beat, a emerald green force wrapped in white light, belonging to the fragments of natural consciousness, appeared and swept across these filthy blood-like things, and evaporated them immediately!

All this happened in just a few blinks of Shen Mu's eyes.

Wait until he comes to his senses.

In the palm of his hand, there was only that crystal clear, dark red crystal with a warm white light, as if it had never existed.

It is the mark of the rules of the spiritual world projected onto the blue planet.

Possessing countless inheritances and opportunities.

"This mark..."

Shen Mu looked at the crystal at this time, thinking in his mind: "As long as it is opened, it can become the key to open a large spiritual world scene. After completing the corresponding tasks, you can obtain the corresponding professional inheritance, the following of creatures, and various buildings or treasures belonging to the spiritual world!"

This was the information that naturally came to his mind when he held this crystal clear crystal.

‘Crack! ’

But before Shen Mu could continue to think deeply, the fifth wave of temporary task rewards emerged in his mind.

The shaking under his feet immediately brought him back to his senses.

“This place is about to collapse!”

Fatis was right next to Shen Mu, supporting his shaking body.

His face was solemn.

He directly stretched out his hand to command these Swadian heavy cavalry, as well as these Holy Tree Knights and Holy Tree Cavalry, with a serious expression on his face: "We need to leave here!"

"Let's go!" The Holy Tree Knights surrounded Shen Mu and Fatis and went straight down the steep path.

Although the situation is quite urgent.

They were still wearing heavy armor that made it difficult to move around, but they helped each other and took advantage of their excellent physique.

It still didn't take long.

They all quickly came to the lava throne and to the sides of the war horses that were still waiting there.

"Master Shen Mu, this place doesn't seem very safe! There is darkness and gray fog encroaching around us!"

At this time, Fatis's complexion did not improve.

Still extremely serious.

"Yeah." Shen Mu also looked around. As the crack above his head disappeared, the lava throne was slowly disintegrating. The darkness and gray fog that had exited the area were rushing over again.

He nodded and said, "Everyone! Get on your horses! Go back to the village immediately!"

"Get on the horse! Go!"

Whether it was the Swadian heavy cavalry, the Holy Tree Knights, or the Holy Tree Cavalry, they all moved very quickly.

One by one they jumped onto their horses.

Shake the reins.

Following the figures of Shen Mu and Fatis, the horseshoes of the war horses under his crotch hit the ground again.

As the speed increased, they arrived at the gap in the city wall in a short while.

They entered one after another without hesitation.

Still stepping on the corpses of dozens of abyss demons that filled the trench, they quickly entered the village of Dehrim.

This is equivalent to saying that it is protected by the Mount and Blade rules that exist within the Mount and Blade village!

"Lord Shen Mu!" Bandak, who was still directing the cleanup of the battlefield, also saw the darkness and gray fog coming in from outside, and his expression changed slightly.

After all, he has been in this Blue Star world for several days.

Of course I know how terrible this darkness and fog are.

Although there are undead monsters inside, as long as he and his soldiers are on high alert, they will not cause any trouble.

But a brutal battle had just ended.

Still need to rest.

"Light a bonfire and block the gap in the city gate."

Shen Mu turned over and got off the horse.

Looking behind him, he saw that outside the trench, it was completely filled with darkness and gray fog, just like before, where one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.

Knowing that this is the rule of the undead, it seems that the area is completely flooded again.

After a moment's hesitation, he said to Bandak, "Arrange some more militiamen to cook something to eat. I think everyone must be hungry after the battle."

"Understood." Bandak nodded, and an idea came to his mind, so he asked:

"Lord Shen Mu, I think what our soldiers need to do is to clean up the battlefield as quickly as possible. Can we ask Miss Liu Na and the 12 halflings who are under our protection on the top of the castle to help with these daily tasks?"

The village of Dehrim is now completely filled with paramilitary personnel.

The only reason for this is that a huge number of those people are Swadian militia, these second-level, half-civilian and half-soldier personnel.

However, these Swadian militiamen had just experienced a bloody battle.

Equally tiring.

These messy battlefields need to be cleaned up again.

It would be better to do as Bandak thought and leave all these ordinary daily tasks to the halflings from the spiritual world who accept his protection.

"..." But Shen Mu was silent for a moment regarding this suggestion.

But he still nodded and said, "Then let's leave the daily cooking and other tasks to these halflings."

Shen Mu affirmed this suggestion.

That is indeed possible.

Besides, Shen Mu didn't have the heart to continue discussing this matter, because it was right in front of his retina, as the game was over.

More dialog box contents began to emerge!

[Congratulations! You led your troops with a near-perfect tactic to defeat the enemy with fewer troops, successfully resisted and defeated the enemy's siege troops, defended your village "Dherim", and captured and destroyed the core of the enemy's territory. ]

[After the system's post-battle evaluation, you have achieved an 'epic' victory! ]

[Congratulations! Because your epic victory was so magnificent, you have received 2 'Golden Treasure Boxes'. ]

[Congratulations! You have gained +1 legendary reputation in the entire Mount & Blade world! You have now gained +1 reputation in the secondary faction! ]

[Ding! You have absorbed the special rules and absorbed the special energy contained therein! ]

[Since the special rules absorbed this time are venue-based, after the integration, you can choose a venue of corresponding size in a Mount & Blade world to replace it. ]

[Due to the rules of this absorption, your village "Dherim" is allowed to be upgraded and a new round of building lists will be unlocked. 】

[Due to the rules of this absorption, you have received a reward of 'Build a Village' +1. ]

[Ding! You have obtained: Magic Ball (Map Editor) usage rights × 60 minutes'. ]

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

A large number of dialog boxes appeared on Shen Mu's retina.

Densely packed.

These are the rewards Shen Mu received this time.

"Epic victory, two gold-level treasure chests."

Shen Mu first looked at the post-war evaluation above, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

This represents his surprise.

The level of the golden treasure chest has basically been confirmed to be the top-end version at present.

Everything that comes out is related to the rules!
Compared to bronze-level treasure chests related to daily items and ordinary combat supplies.

Silver-level treasure chests related to buildings and high-level combat supplies.

This kind of gold-level treasure chest can open items that are related to the rules and can directly produce huge effects.

This time, the post-war evaluation gave two gold-level treasure chests at one time.

It really surprised Shen Mu a bit.

Because it is really precious.

"And what comes next is a direct change to the rules!" Shen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression becoming more solemn.

Didn't stop here.

After arranging the work of Bandak and Fatis, Shen Mu immediately stepped forward and walked quickly towards the main building of the castle.

He returned to his lord's bench and sat down.

Shen Mu explored the various props and related instructions that emerged in his mind.

However, when Shen Mu came back, Bandak also sent 10 Lake Rat Gang saboteurs to follow him as guards and brought the castle hall back under surveillance.

There are 2 Lake Rat Gang Vandals on the spiral staircase of the tower and 2 at the castle gate.

The remaining six Lake Rat Gang saboteurs stood not far from Shen Mu, holding their bloodstained serrated spears and looking around with a fierce look.

As long as there is something wrong, they will immediately go over and question diligently.

Of course, Shen Mu couldn’t care less about these Lake Rat Gang saboteurs now.

He also had no time to care about Miss Liuna and the halflings who were coming down the spiral staircase of the tower and heading to the village to cook food at the invitation of the Swadian militia, who were covered in blood and had minced meat on their weapons.

However, just when Shen Mu was checking the contents of the dialog box of the Mount and Blade system.

The 10 Holy Tree Knights and 50 Holy Tree Cavalry also came to the bottom of the castle pier.

Especially the Holy Tree Knight who was in the lead, he touched the small and exquisite box on his chest, got off his horse, walked along the zigzag stairs, and came to the castle gate.

I just happened to meet some half-men coming out from inside. They all had pale faces and were only about 1.3 meters tall.

And Liu Na, a level 2 druid wearing a black robe and holding a staff made of vines.

"Hmm?" The Holy Tree Knight frowned slightly.

"what…"

In front of him, Liu Na, who was walking out with her head down, not daring to look at the bloodstains in the corner of the pier, seemed to sense something and subconsciously raised her head.

The two looked at each other.

When the Holy Tree Knight saw that it was a woman, he took the initiative to move aside and let Miss Liu Na pass.

"This woman seems to have some special power." A special feeling emerged in the heart of the Holy Tree Knight.

Impress him.

Because he had seen this feeling before in a very secret operation of the Holy Tree Knights.

This special feeling is only felt by the extremely mysterious guests who come from the mysterious forest, wear black robes and hoods that conceal their figures and faces, and are personally received and interviewed by the leader of the Holy Tree Knights.

Now, he actually noticed it from an ordinary young woman, which really surprised him.

But Liu Na was even more surprised.

After walking down the zigzag staircase, Liu Na said to Elder Pero beside her with a trembling voice: "Elder Pero... Elder Pero, I found something!"

"What's the matter?" Elder Pero looked up at Liu Na in confusion.

"It's...it's the knight just now!" Because she was a little nervous, Miss Liu Na's tone was a little hesitant.

"Ms. Liu Na, please go ahead." Elder Pero became even more curious.

Looking at the Swadian longhouse appearing in front of him.

And around them, there were human soldiers whose bodies were covered in blood and wounds.

Elder Pero couldn't help swallowing his saliva and reminded, "The task that Lord Shen Mu gave us is to cook the food quickly and let these soldiers who have fought so hard eat some hearty, delicious, and warm food that can warm their stomachs."

This was their mission. After all, the cooking skills of the halflings were quite famous when the crystal wall system of the entire spirit world had not yet collapsed.

What's more, now these human soldiers have really won the battle with the abyss demons.

Although it was extremely tragic.

But in their eyes, this is also a real victory.

This is also the reason why, when Elder Pero conveyed the message, he directly chose to agree, and brought these halfling people down with him. He wanted to cook the food quickly regardless of the fact that the battlefield had not been cleaned up yet.

Elder Pero truly had absolute respect for Lord Shen Mu.

"Oh...oh." Liu Na pursed her pink lips and said to Elder Pero: "Just now, I passed by that knight, and I seemed to sense some kind of sacred natural aura hidden in the knight's breastplate. It seems to be able to improve and help my druid level!"

"Hmm? A sacred natural aura that can help your druid level!?" Elder Pero was slightly stunned.

Then his eyes widened in surprise.

"Yes, that's it." Liu Na nodded her head with certainty.

"No wonder Lord Shen Mu won the battle against the abyss demon." Elder Pero paused for a moment, his furry face thoughtful:
"When the battlefield was at its most intense, I saw Lord Shen Mu cast a natural spell that could perform group recovery and summon killer bees from the spirit world! The levels of these two natural spells were not low. Compared to the druid spellcasting strengths I learned about in the spirit world, they were both higher than the level of many ordinary druids."

"Yeah, yes." Liu Na nodded beside her, because Shen Mu was on the castle pier when he released the nature spell.

From the second floor of the castle, they could easily see the entire battle process.

Knowing how Shen Mu killed that terrifying creature, he was obviously a higher-ranking abyss demon with a title.

Naturally I saw it too.

The two nature spells released by Shen Mu!
Think about it again, this Lord Shen Mu released changes to matter, and he could even directly change the floors inside an apartment, as well as the village that suddenly appeared.

Elder Pero couldn't help swallowing and said:

"We don't need to ask too much about the specific situation, but if there is anything that can help your druid career, I will personally help you ask Lord Shen Mu after we finish the food."

"Thank you, Elder Pero." Hearing this, a happy smile immediately appeared on Liu Na's face.

……

If Shen Mu didn't worry about the reward in the dialog box, he would know it immediately.

The special natural force sensed by Liu Na.

It was the seed of a vibrant holy white oak tree that came from the Iron Oak Castle, the headquarters of the Holy Tree Knights, which was increasingly withering. It took a lot of effort to give birth to it.

Of course, Shen Mu is now really studying the rule-type rewards in the dialog box.

"After absorbing the mark of the spiritual world, I received three kinds of rewards."

Shen Mu thought for a while:

"They are the ability to summon a venue of the corresponding size in the Mount & Blade world for replacement, allowing the village of Dehrim to upgrade and unlock the subsequent building list, and finally, the reward of adding an extra village."

This made Shen Mu raise his eyebrows.

The first reward is to summon a field of corresponding size in the Mount & Blade world to replace it. According to his understanding, it means to summon an unknown area of ​​Mount & Blade land to cover the corresponding land on the Blue Planet.

The second reward is that Dehrim can be upgraded and is no longer limited to one village.

As for the third reward, it is easier to understand.

It means obtaining permission to build a village!
"It's really... unexpected!" Shen Mu slowly leaned back on the cold and hard stone chair.

Feel the coldness spreading to my back.

Shen Mu felt that this reward was really an unexpected surprise.

Just below these rewards.

There are also 60 minutes of Moneyball privileges.

In this way, you can not only directly use the various rule-based rewards obtained from the system.

It can also completely erase all traces of Blue Star's buildings.

E.g…

These reinforced concrete walls!

And below, the main building of the castle seems to be foolproof.

In fact, in front of undead monsters or abyss monsters, it is very easy for tragic accidents to break out in the dangerous foundation that is as fragile as tofu dregs!

Think about the fierce battle just now.

If it weren't for the trenches they dug in advance, and the soldiers on horseback and swordsmanship, they would have blocked the demon troops with a fearless attitude of death.

If they all really rush in.

That would really make him, who is not strong enough now, regret it deeply!
"I still don't have a deep enough understanding of this world that is like the end of the world."

Shen Mu couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.

Blue Star Building.

There really is no need to get involved any more!

"Forget it, let's continue upgrading all the existing soldiers."

Thinking of this, Shen Mu couldn't help but shook his head.

Thoughts communicate systems.

[You have soldiers allowed to upgrade! ]

[① 377 Swadian Militiamen, can be upgraded to 'Swadian Light Infantry (30 dinars per person)'.] 11310
[② Lake Rat Gang Senior Fighters × 36, can be upgraded to 'Lake Rat Gang Destroyers (50 dinars each)'] 1800
[③ 27 new members of the Lake Rat Gang, can be upgraded to 'Lake Rat Gang veteran fighters (30 dinars each)'] 810
[④ Swadian Heavy Cavalry x 10, can be upgraded to 'Swadian Knight (100 denars each)'] 1000
[If all upgrades are completed, it will cost 12490 dinars (you don't have enough funds). ]

[Tip: Since you have completed an epic victory this time, and the Kingdom of Swadia has +6 legendary reputation points and +2 all Mount and Blade series reputation points, these soldiers are willing to follow you fanatically, so the promotion fee is halved. ]

【You only need to spend 6245 dinars to complete the upgrade. 】

A dialog box appeared in front of Shen Mu's eyes.

He was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Then pay these dinars and upgrade all the soldiers!"

‘Crash! ’

There was a sound of hundreds and thousands of small metal coins colliding with each other in the air, and finally all falling into the pocket.

This sound is so beautiful that it seems like the finest music, and anyone who hears it will be fascinated by it.

'Om! '

But with the sound of gold coins colliding.

The rules of Mount and Blade have arrived.

A powerful and extremely large amount of data stream transformed into white light, whistling out from between Shen Mu's eyebrows.

Then, they began to scatter all over the messy and busy mounted and sword-wielding soldiers.

It formed a series of white light shields that looked like insect cocoons.

Let these Mount and Blade soldiers in there...

Completed the promotion!

This white light shield really looks like a cocoon that has been reborn.

These Mount and Blade soldiers will complete years of training and tempering in their respective Mount and Blade worlds, experience real battlefields, and eventually grow into qualified and promoted soldiers.

This is also the reason why the age of these Mounted and Bladed soldiers will increase after they complete their promotion.

For the Blue Star World, for Shen Mu.

This promotion took only about ten seconds.

but.

For these Mount and Blade soldiers, it is equivalent to personally experiencing several years of great changes!

"The upgrade of these soldiers has been completed. It just so happens that during the battle with the Abyss Demons just now, the rewards from the third and fourth waves were not used."

Shen Mu suddenly thought of something.

A dialog box suddenly appeared on my retina.

[Item name: Quartermaster's troop supply (50-man integer formation)]

[Item Introduction: Your legendary reputation is enough for everyone to know your name. When they know that your troops have suffered losses, quartermasters from various worlds, countries, and forces are willing to help you make up for the shortfall caused by the loss of these soldiers after the war.]

[Effect of item: As long as the squad assigned to your troops is less than 50 people, the quartermaster can replenish it in the name of a 50-man squad.]

This is the stage reward for the third wave.

It should be the Mount and Blade system, which uses the power of rules to allow the troops that are in the process of fierce fighting to replenish and increase their manpower as a reward.

But the third wave of battle happened too suddenly for Shen Mu.

After all, it was the upper demon among the abyss demons who came on stage and attacked him personally, almost putting Shen Mu's life in danger.

If Shen Mu hadn't just happened to obtain an upgrade to his nature spells.

With the help of Bandak and Light Ballista.

And the most important thing.

He was the upper demon among the abyss demons. He underestimated the enemy and did not take himself seriously at the beginning.

What the result is is really hard to say!
"Every 50 people form a team, and if the number of people is less than 50, the quartermaster in the system rules will fill the team?"

Shen Mu looked at the dialog box again.

That's how he understood it.

So the mind communication system directly used the item obtained by defeating the upper demon: "Use it immediately!"

'Om! '

The mysterious power of rules began to descend in an instant.

Countless data streams are pouring out.

Then, in the village outside the castle, in Dehrim, patches of white light appeared on the bodies of the Mounted Blade soldiers.

At the same time, a number of illusory flags appeared above the heads of these mounted and slashed soldiers.

Some are machetes, some are axes.

Some were bows and arrows, others were crossbows or javelins.

There were also heavily armed war horses.

There are also light horses.

These illusory flags appeared above the heads of all the Mount and Blade soldiers.

As if...

All the Mount and Blade soldiers were classified!
'Om! '

In the end, these illusory flags turned into a bunch of white light and disappeared, falling on the heads of their respective Mounted Blade soldiers.

It's as if it had never appeared.

Just in front of Shen Mu.

A new dialog box appears.

【After the current division of the squad, the quartermasters have already known how to replenish and increase the number of troops in your army. Thanks to your lofty legendary reputation, leaders from various countries and forces are also willing to let their soldiers join your army. 】

[Batches of soldiers from various countries and forces are arriving to reinforce and increase your troops. 】

[Tip: Due to the special nature of the Holy Tree Knights and the difficulty in training Holy Tree Knights, the Knights' Quartermaster declined your request to send 40 Holy Tree Knights to form a 50-man Holy Tree Knight Squad for you.]

[Tip: Since the Kingdom of Swadia is currently at war with other kingdoms, King Harlaus has rejected your request to send 40 Swadian Knights to form a 50-man Swadian Knight Squadron for you.]

As the dialog box appeared in front of Shen Mu.

Just outside the city wall on the east side.

In the darkness where a fierce battle had just ended, shadows quietly appeared.

Among these phantoms were heavy cavalry and light infantry from the Kingdom of Swadia, archers from the Kingdom of Vigia, members of the Lake Rat Gang from the Kingdom of Sturgia, and mercenary crossbowmen who frequented taverns.

Their numbers vary, some have more than ten people, some have seven or eight people, and some have thirty to fifty people.

They appeared in the darkness and gray fog with torches in hand, and then gathered together.

Looking at the village Dehrim belonging to Shen Mu in front of them, they quickly came to the gap in the city wall, saw the bonfire inside, and broke through the gray fog and darkness and came into the village.

He looked at the soldiers, who were still stained with blood and holding their weapons and looking at him with vigilant eyes, and stated his identity seriously:

"We are soldiers who came here to replenish our troops under the orders of the quartermaster!"

……

"King Harlaus of the Kingdom of Swadia has rejected the request to replenish the Swadian Knights' team?"

But now Shen Mu in the main building of the castle frowned slightly:
"If it was King Harlaus, I could understand, but it's a pity that the Holy Tree Knights of the Holy Tree Knights Order are unable to complete the team replenishment due to their special nature."

The last prompt on the dialog box left him speechless.

The use of this prop.

That is, as long as the team is less than 50 people, it will be automatically supplemented to 50 people.

No matter whether it is a team of 49 people or a team with just one extra person.

After using this prop.

It will be completed successfully directly.

But there are two types of fifth-level knights, one is a knight from the Kingdom of Swadia, and the other is a knight from the Order of the Holy Tree.

There is no way to complete it.

The system prompt also said it was a rejection or polite refusal, and explained it with the reasons in the background story.

This made Shen Mu couldn't help but curl his lips.

"There's another reward."

Shen Mu's thoughts communicated with the system again.

A dialog box appears before my eyes.

[Item Name: Designate 200 low-level soldiers to upgrade immediately (only for level and soldiers)]

[Item Description: This item contains the earnest concern in the training camp, and the willingness to seriously and responsibly train 200 low-level soldiers to complete the promotion. ]

[Effect of item: 200 first- or second-level soldiers are promoted immediately.]

"..." Shen Mu looked at the content above, his face slightly stiff.

But think about it.

After all, this is the fourth stage, and it is the reward for defeating the abyss demon troops that have poured in through the gap in the city gate.

Take care of yourself according to the Mount and Blade system.

It should be a reward for allowing oneself to use this item directly to upgrade 200 Swadian militiamen into 200 Swadian light infantry, third-order regular infantry, to resist the abyss demons.

But he didn't expect that he would kill the upper demon and also get an upgrade in his skills.

Using the newly added two group recovery spells, the occupation was reversed directly.

"This means that after the war, this reward will be somewhat useless." Shen Mu sighed.

He had just upgraded all the Swadian militia, but he no longer had first- and second-level troops.

The fewest ones now are the Swadian light infantry among the third-level soldiers!

"So be it."

Shen Mu slowly opened his eyes.

There is no need to rush to use this item now. After all, he will be able to obtain more first- and second-level soldiers in the future.

At the same time, Shen Mu looked at the entrance of the castle and saw two Swadian light infantrymen carrying a small cast iron pot.

The aroma of food also blew over with the wind.

Shen Mu's lips curled up slightly: "Looks like it's time to eat."

That's why he opened his eyes.

"Lord Shen Mu, there is another Holy Tree Knight outside who said he has something important to report to you."

Seeing Shen Mu open his eyes, the Lake Rat Gang saboteur who was guarding nearby gestured to the two Swadian light infantrymen and put the cast iron pot on the table.

He walked over, bowed to Shen Mu alone, and then reported: "He is outside now, he has not left."

"Not leaving? Then call him over." Shen Mu nodded.

Outside the castle gate.

"Let's go." The Lake Rat Gang saboteur came over here and waved to the Holy Tree Knight.

The Holy Tree Knight, who was standing upright with a noble elegance and a warrior's standard, making the Lake Rat Gang saboteurs nod their heads secretly, heard the call, took out the small box from his arms, and followed the Lake Rat Gang saboteurs in.

"Hello, Master Shen Mu."

The Holy Tree Knight first knelt on one knee and saluted Shen Mu seriously with the most solemn knight etiquette.

"Yeah." Shen Mu just nodded, opened the lid of the cast iron pot in front of him and took a look.

Inside is a thick bacon porridge.

And a few slices of thinly sliced ​​white bread toasted crispy on the edge of the cast iron pan.

Served with various vegetables and condiments, Shen Mu, who was sitting next to the long table, felt his appetite growling. He also felt his stomach growling after the bloody battle.

He was indeed hungry.

Seeing this scene, the Holy Tree Knight who was kneeling on one knee in front of Shen Mu said in an apologetic but serious tone:
"I'm sorry, Master Shen Mu, I shouldn't have come to report to you while you were having dinner, but this seed represents everything of our Holy Tree Knights. I hope you can spare some time to listen to me introduce you to the miracle of this Holy White Oak Tree."

(End of this chapter)
