Real Mount and Blade Game

Chapter 90: First Encounter with the Shaper

After all, when you go to an unknown large spiritual scene, you may not necessarily encounter any enemies.

So be careful, cautious, and think carefully.

"That's it."

Shen Mu nodded and took out the crystal that was crystal clear and sparkling with special rules and power.

Thought communication system.

'Om! '

Then, a faint white light emerged from between Shen Mu's eyebrows and directly sank into the palm of his hand, into the crystal known as the mark of the spiritual world.

'Om! '

Another wave of special fluctuations spread out from it.

Then, right in front of Shen Mu and others, the crystal floated outward, as if it was officially activated.

Right in front of him, it turned into a huge door for teleportation, like a mirror, with countless ripples rotating in it!
"Isn't this equivalent to a portal?" Shen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, and his mood became a little solemn.

He knew that this was the passage to enter the large spiritual world scene.

So I waved forward directly:

"Swadian Sergeants! Swadian Light Infantry! Forward! Enter the portal!"

"Understood!" In the troop formation, the 137 Swadian sergeants and Swadian light infantry who served as the line-carrying heavy infantry, without any hesitation, raised their spears and strode towards the portal.

As the mirror-like portal began to rise and fall, waves began to appear.

These Swadian sergeants and Swadian light infantry disappeared before their eyes.

"Lake Rat Gang Vandals!"

At this time, Bandak also spoke in a deep voice and took the lead: "Vikia Archer, follow me!"

Then he strode into the portal.

With the rippling water.

Their figures also disappeared into the mirror-like portal.

Only Shen Mu, Fatis, and 60 cavalry troops were left.

"Lord Shen Mu, please mount your horse." Fatis was not in a hurry to enter the portal. Instead, he led his Swadian warhorse and Shen Mu's pure white Holy Tree heavy horse with the same plate chain mail and walked over together.

"Well, thank you." Shen Mu stretched out the Holy Tree Knight suit he was wearing, stepped on the stirrups and skillfully jumped onto the horse.

He pointed to the 10 Holy Tree Knights who were dressed in the same attire but lacked the golden decorations and ordered, "Follow me. The other Swadian Knights and Heavy Cavalry will follow the command of Knight Fatis!"

"Understood!" The 10 Holy Tree Knights spoke first, shaking the reins and gathering around Shen Mu.

"Understood!" Next came the 10 Swadian knights and 40 Swadian heavy cavalry, all of whom were wearing gray-black sleeveless plate armor and chain mail, looking like ancient tanks. They rode their horses to the back of Fatis and stood still.

"Let's go." Shen Mu nodded, shook the reins gently, and took the lead in urging the warhorse under his crotch forward.

'Om! '

Then it was as if I had passed through a thin curtain of cool water in the blink of an eye.

Shen Mu found that he had left his village "Dherim".

Or.

I have left the Blue Star and arrived at the world of the so-called 'large spiritual scene'!

"Be alert!" Bandak's voice rang out at this moment.

He commanded 50 Swadian soldiers to spread out in a semicircle, and 87 Swadian light infantrymen also spread out, holding spears and forming a semicircular spear formation, thus establishing the position.

The 50 Vikian archers also dispersed at this time, standing behind the Swadian infantrymen, drawing feather arrows from the quivers on their backs, and looking at the situation around them vigilantly. If they saw anything unusual, they would draw their bows and shoot the sharp cone-head arrows in their hands.

On both sides, 50 Lake Rat Gang vandals had already joined the spear phalanx with their own serrated spears.

Although the Lake Rats Gang is a minor family, they are still the best among the bandit gangs. They are good at melee combat and charging the enemy, but they are not very good at forming a qualified spear formation.

But there will definitely be no problem if you can strike a similar pose and posture and coordinate with the spear phalanx.

After all, they are trying to establish a position.

'Shh!'

At this time, just behind Shen Mu, the 10 Holy Tree Knights also followed on horseback.

Behind them were the 10 Swadian knights led by Fatis and the 40 Swadian heavy cavalry.

They all confirmed the location and safety of Shen Mu, the big shot, before turning their necks and looking at the surrounding scenery in surprise.

A barren desert area lacking greenery.

[Ding! You have successfully passed through the mysterious 'plane transfer gate' and arrived at this unfamiliar large spiritual world scene. ]

[You have obtained the first stage reward: Random skill - Powerful Strike (lv1). Effect: Derived from the warrior's hacking skills, it can increase attack damage by 30% after use. It can be activated 10/10 times per day without consumption.]

However, Shen Mu, who had just ridden over, had not had time to carefully observe the surrounding environment.

A dialog box has appeared in front of you.

The reward for the first stage of this temporary mission was sent to his mind through the system.

At the same time, Shen Mu learned various techniques of using this new skill in an instant.

“A single-target damaging skill.”

Shen Mu shook his shoulders gently, holding the more than 3-meter-long Holy Tree Knight Spear in his hand. As the skills emerged in his mind, he was also thoughtful: "As long as there is a weapon to attack, even if it is a lance stabbing, you can use this skill to increase the attack damage by 30%."

A powerful blow, but a blow in name only.

Just as the effect in the dialog box says, after using it you can increase your attack damage by 30%.

Just attack.

"Not bad." Shen Mu pursed his lips, still feeling a little regretful in his eyes.

A single-target offensive skill.

The issue is.

As a general and commander, he rarely directly enters the front-line battles since he awakened the Mount and Blade system.

The number of times he personally fought on the front line of the battlefield can be counted on one's fingers!
Then give him this skill that increases damage...

What a waste!
"That's all." Shen Mu looked up, riding on the tall holy tree heavy horse. Now he finally had the opportunity to observe the world after passing through the portal.

Just his face looked slightly surprised.

This is indeed a barren desert area.

There is yellow sand everywhere.

From the feet to the distant hills, the view is a desolate scene with yellow sand and stones exposed on the ground.

At this time, there was light shining overhead and a light breeze blew past, which was like the hot air waves flowing in an oven. Shen Mu and the others who had just arrived here subconsciously frowned and squinted their eyes.

Because unknowingly, when the breeze blew past with the heat wave, a layer of fine sand was also brought along.

Everyone present was made to look embarrassed!
"This place reminds me of the desert of the Sarand Sultanate." Fatis rode his horse to Shen Mu.

Looking at the harsh environment of the desert, he couldn't help but pursed his lips slightly, with a solemn expression on his face: "That is an equally barren and desolate land, but it gave birth to equally powerful cavalry, and Sarand Mamluks who are comparable to the Swadian knights, and equally top-notch, respectable heavy cavalry!"

"Well, the Mamluks of the Sarand Sultanate are indeed worthy of respect." Shen Mu nodded.

He knew that the Sarranid Sultanate that Fatis mentioned was a nation living in a desert oasis in the world view of Mount and Blade, and it possessed fifth-order heavy cavalry.

It can be said that it is the only fifth-level heavy cavalry that can compete with the Swadian knights.

It is also one of the only two top-level fifth-level heavy cavalry.

But in field combat.

The Swadian Knight is the strongest because of his stronger impact capability and the ability to tear the enemy apart easily.

Fatis said this to praise the Mamluks, but in fact he was also proud of his own strength as a Swadian knight, and a Swadian knight of noble birth.

"We should bring some light cavalry at this time." But Shen Mu had no time to think about Fatis's hint.

Looking at the empty and barren wilderness around me.

They happened to be at the bottom of some hills, in a shady location. Now they were completely in the dark, had no idea of ​​any map information, and had no way of understanding anything.

If there are light cavalry, they can be sent out to quickly scout the surrounding situation.

Now words.

Shen Mu pursed his lips slightly, still shaking the reins and said: "Holy Tree Knights, all follow me and conduct reconnaissance!"

"Understood!" The 10 Holy Tree Knights immediately shook the reins and rode their horses to follow Shen Mu.

"Sir!" Bandak and Fatis wanted to say something.

"You wait here." Shen Mu did not give them a chance to speak. Instead, he shook the reins and let the armored Holy Tree heavy horse under his crotch run along the relatively hard ground towards the sand dunes ahead.

The 10 Holy Tree Knights behind him separated one by one and followed Shen Mu, while protecting him in the middle.

If there is any abnormal situation, Shen Mu can be escorted away first.

Because at this moment.

These Holy Tree Knights have noticed that the weapons in their hands and the equipment on their bodies have begun to heat up slightly.

It's as if a reminder.

It’s like a preview as well.

After they come to this world, they will encounter some holy raw materials such as mithril, which is an extremely sensitive and disgusting evil force!
"Sir, you need to be careful!" A Holy Tree Knight captain spoke in a deep voice, reminding Shen Mu.

"Yeah, I know." Shen Mu replied calmly.

Looking at the hill in front of him, which was covered with sand but still had hard rocks underneath, he shook the reins to make the horse under him climb the hill faster.

At the same time, the hand that was tightly gripping the gun handle gradually exerted more strength.

He also felt the heat on his body.

From armor to helmets.

There are also weapons in hands, chain mail gloves and plate boots.

They all began to release a burning sensation.

the most critical.

The dialog box appeared on Shen Mu’s retina!
[Ding! The second phase of the temporary mission is released - a fierce battle in the wilderness! ]

Just in time, at the moment the dialog box appeared on the retina, Shen Mu had already arrived at the top of the hill on his horse.

At this moment, in the distance, a dilapidated castle built with stone slabs and a city wall built with rammed earth stood on the top of the hill on the horizon.

At this time, there were shadowy figures there, and it seemed that there were quite a few people gathered there, moving quickly.

And all around, countless abyss demon troops with dark red skin, whose furious roars could be heard from a very far distance, and who were attacking the rammed earth fortress, appeared over there!
Obviously, these abyss demons are besieging the humans in the castle.

A fierce battle is taking place!
[Second stage of the temporary mission: These human soldiers and their castles fell into this barren desert, and because of the abyss cracks that appeared in this scene, the battle eventually broke out. Now, as a human, it might be a good idea for you to lend a hand and rescue them. ]

[Rewards for the second stage mission: +1 point of all Mount and Blade reputation, and 1000 dinars. ]

In front of Shen Mu's eyes, the dialog box refreshed and more content appeared on his retina.

"Rescue mission."

Shen Mu immediately understood the intention of the Mount and Blade system.

He just looked up at the densely packed dark red figures rushing directly towards the rammed earth walls and dilapidated castle.

Shen Mu frowned slightly.

At this time, we cannot just say we won’t go to rescue and give up the mission.

But it's so far away.

We also need to see what kind of abyss demon it is, estimate how many there are, where the defense is weaker, etc.

The investigation is done.

It doesn’t matter if you make a decision later.

"However, it seems that the number and quality of the demonic forces that appeared in this large spiritual world scene this time are not as good as those I encountered."

Shen Mu pursed his lips.

Without hesitation, he directly ordered the Holy Tree Knight beside him: "Go down and inform Bandak and Fatis to march in secret and approach the castle in front. Be careful not to expose yourself too early during the march."

"Understood." The Holy Tree Knight responded, turned his horse's head, and galloped down the hill to convey Shen Mu's order.

At this time, Shen Mu continued to ride his horse forward, carefully moving along the ridge of the hill.

Quickly approaching the dilapidated castle.

Just in the process of approaching.

Shen Mu frowned slightly.

Because from the corner of my eye, I don't know why, but I always felt that there seemed to be something strange on those barren, sandy hills in the distance.

It was as if there was something lurking there, observing this side carefully.

When Shen Mu turned his head to look, there was nothing.

"There's something!"

Just as Shen Mu frowned in confusion, the captain of the Holy Tree Knights beside him slowly spoke: "Sir Shen Mu, there are indeed some people over there who are spying on us. There are quite a few of them, and they are all disguised."

"Did you see clearly what it was?" Shen Mu frowned. He also noticed the faintly swaying shadow.

But the shadow was hunched over, and its overall camouflage seemed to blend in with the surrounding wasteland and desert.

Therefore Shen Mu did not see clearly.

"It's a kind of creature that seems to be humanoid, but its head is a bit like a jackal."

These knights, who had been tested on the battlefield for a long time and were more professional than the Holy Tree Knight who was born out of Shen Mu, were keenly aware that the figures of them had been discovered and spied on on the sand dunes in the distance.

At the same time, in the moment of eye contact, he successfully captured the outlines of some creatures.

"Jackal?" Shen Mu thought thoughtfully.

My mind immediately thought of the notorious spirit world, the cruel and violent spirit creatures that indeed liked to live in the desert border areas close to the human kingdom, making a living by plundering and robbery.

Generally speaking, it is one of the disasters faced by human races on the border, and needs to be hunted and swept regularly.

But after the advent of the undead rules.

Faced with dangerous situations, undead monsters, and abyss demons, they used ruthless means to slaughter them all, regardless of their race, leaving no one alive.

No matter whether it is gnolls, humans, orcs or other races, they have all united.

The key is that there is no way without union.

As the crystal wall system collapsed, countless creatures in the spiritual world died, and the power of death expanded explosively like it soared into the sky.

Countless dead creatures turned into undead monsters and merged into the rules of the undead. They appeared on the blue star along with darkness and gray fog, and even in other places where crystal wall fragments existed.

Including those times when time and space are frozen, it can be described as a tragic situation like being sealed alive.

Now that things have come to this, of course we need to unite.

"My lord, do we need to get rid of those... gnolls first?" asked the Holy Tree Knight.

"It's okay, just stay alert." Shen Mu rejected the suggestion.

When he was communicating with the halfling elder Pero, he knew that all the spiritual creatures were now experiencing the tragedy of the shattering of the crystal wall system, the invasion of undead monsters and the rampage of the abyss demons.

So they can barely be considered to have united to jointly resist the threats of these two monsters.

Although some conflicts will still break out.

But as long as they face those undead monsters and demon monsters, they have a common enemy and generally there won't be any major conflicts between the two sides.

This is basically the case in the spiritual world scenes that are formed after many crystal walls are shattered.

Including the more secretive spiritual realm.

Or...

A spiritual plane with a larger area, a more varied environment, more diverse races and a larger population.

It's the same!

'Boom! '

Just as Shen Mu and these Holy Tree Knights were observing the location of the castle, a battle broke out.

A dazzling fire and a huge explosion instantly appeared from the rammed earth wall in front of them, with terrifying flames and momentum, directly blowing away many dark red demons that were originally densely packed there. Shen Mu and his companions, who were still observing the battle in the castle on the reverse slope of the hill from a distance of hundreds of meters, saw this scene.

“That’s…!!!” Everyone exclaimed in surprise!

"Spell!"

Facing the exclamations of the Holy Tree Knights around him, Shen Mu remained relatively calm.

Although there was surprise in his eyes.

But watching the smoke gradually dissipate, many Abyss Demons were blown to pieces, and even the bodies left behind were still burning with flames, which looked quite violent. He slowly raised his eyebrows:

"There should be more wizards in the castle!"

Mage, a type of professional.

Like Druid, they are all spellcasters.

However, compared to the druids who need to maintain the natural pan-consciousness, these mages only need to study the magic structure or improve the level of exploring the magic network to control the elements, matter, and even the authority at the soul level.

By reorganizing, gathering and transforming these powers, powerful spells can be obtained.

So much so that in the spiritual world, many people regard high-level wizards as beings who wield authority comparable to that of gods.

Very high status.

Therefore, when Elder Pero was communicating with Shen Mu, the reverence and respect for the profession of mage revealed in his words was also subtly remembered by Shen Mu.

"Sir, the wizard is on the balcony of the castle." At this time, a sharp-eyed Holy Tree Knight pointed out.

Shen Mu looked in the direction he pointed.

On the balcony built on an extra square tower on the second floor of the castle, there was indeed a person dressed as a wizard, wearing a gray robe and holding a staff.

But not one, but three!

At this time, because the distance is far, I can't see the other person's specific age.

However, I could vaguely see that his hair and beard had not yet turned white. If I were to guess, I would say that he was still in middle age or prime age and had not yet entered old age.

And as Shen Mu looked over.

From time to time, crossbow arrows or feather arrows would be shot out from the shooting holes in the towers and the inner side of the main building at the edge of the castle.

Cooperating with the human spearmen on the city wall, who were holding spears or swords and shields and wearing leather armor, they resisted the large number of little demons who relied on their wings to fly onto the rammed earth walls.

Prevent these little demons from occupying the city walls, lest they be forced to retreat into the main body of the castle.

Once the city walls are lost and they are trapped in the main body of the castle, they will completely lose the space for tactical maneuvering and can only fight to the death in the main body of the castle, engaging in a life-for-life war of attrition with the extremely large number of abyss demons, at least thousands of them.

All of them together, there are only about 200 human troops...

That's dangerous!
Inside the castle, three level 4 transmutation mages had grim expressions on their faces.

They are actually all humans from the Blue Star, and they obtained a mark in the black tide that allows them to be transported to this spiritual world.

He summoned his soldiers and planned to come and investigate if there were any opportunities here.

Unexpectedly, they had just found a castle but had not had time to occupy and digest the core of the mark inside it.

A deep crack appeared in this spiritual world scene.

Thousands of abyss demons poured out.

They were all surrounded here on the spot and had no way to leave!
"We are really in trouble this time." The leading level 4 mage An Lecheng had a grim expression on his face.

"The distress message has been sent."

Another level 4 mage, Liu Lu, looked down at the rammed earth wall and said in a heavy tone, "If the Mage Tower follows the procedure to come to the rescue, hold a meeting and summon followers from the spirit world to form a team, it will take at least two hours."

“All those bureaucrats do is hold meetings!”

Another lv4 mage, Zhao Hongying, had a gloomy face. She was in her forties and just in menopause. She didn't want to tolerate those people. She shouted angrily: "If you come over in two hours, we will all be eaten up by these abyss demons!"

The 2-hour rescue time was so embarrassing.

Now, the three of them led their 3 human warriors and more than 10 human followers, fighting with all their might against those abyss demons.

I'm a little exhausted by now.

Not to mention 2 hours, even if you can hold on for 40 minutes, it’s considered good!
After all, this is just a dilapidated castle that has been forgotten in this large spiritual scene for who knows how many years, and it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time.

That is to say, when they did not appear, this large spiritual world scene was in a state of time seal.

After the crystal wall system collapsed, it did not fall into the chaos of the long river of time and continued to fall into a state of serious ruin.

Otherwise, they would be really finished!
"Damn it, with these abyss demons here, even the crystal core of the castle's mark can't be absorbed!"

Zhao Hongying became more and more angry. She gritted her teeth, raised the staff in her hand, walked to the edge of the balcony and wanted to cast a new round of energy-shaping spells that were known for their destructive power.

But next to her, An Lecheng, who was only in his thirties and was considered young and promising in the Mage Tower, reached out to stop Zhao Hongying, whom she usually called "big sister".

"Sister Hongying, now is not the time to act rashly. We don't have many spell slots, so we must allocate them carefully to use spells."

An Le Cheng said solemnly: "After all, we only have 4 first-tier spell slots, 2 second-tier spell slots, and 1 third-tier spell slot. If we use them all up, we will be very passive when facing those abyss demons next time."

"That's right, Sister Hongying, you should calm down first." Liu Lu also advised.

However, as the three of them looked down and saw themselves on the 3-meter-wide and 4-meter-high rammed earth wall, waving their weapons to fight the little demons that were flapping their wings and jumping up, their expressions became increasingly solemn.

Especially when there were human soldiers who slipped or were unlucky and were rushed by a dozen little demons and activated a ramming attack, and fell outside, and were instantly overwhelmed by a group of demons.

They looked at the abyss demons who were becoming more and more crazy after tasting the tender flesh and blood of humans.

I was already feeling extremely uneasy.

"When I get back, I will immediately find the people from the Discipline Inspection Commission and report those guys who only care about holding meetings. They have ignored our lives and made us search for spiritual marks on buildings everywhere!"

Zhao Hongying spoke angrily, still gritting her teeth, her eyes red from her excitement.

But no one responded to her words.

I didn't dare to speak carelessly.

Men have to be careful about what women can say casually.

After all, everyone is from the circle of affairs officers. Even though the undead rules have been in place for three years, the old order has not been completely destroyed. Instead, it has enjoyed a second spring in their small circle.

In addition to some special abilities obtained from the Mage Tower, there are some things that you really can't say casually!

"Wait a minute." An Le Cheng comforted in a deep voice: "Trust the Federation, trust the Mage Tower."

The balcony was silent, with only the sound of fighting outside and the deafening roars of countless demons.

However, after a period of silence.

An Lecheng seemed to notice something from the corner of his eye, making him subconsciously turn his head away.

Then his whole face was filled with astonishment, and he touched Liu Lu's arm next to him as if he couldn't believe it, swallowed his saliva and said:
"Look, Lao Liu, look over there. Could it be that I am... dazzled?"

"Huh?" Liu Lu and Zhao Hongying also looked over there.

But the expressions of the two men changed immediately, from disbelief to ecstasy!

Because right at the edge of the sand dunes, suddenly, a group of human troops wearing armor and holding weapons, from infantry to archers, and even a group of heavily armored cavalry, appeared, no one knew when.

It just appeared there!
Look at the appearance.

Ready to fight.

It was obvious that he was aware of the presence of the abyss demons here, as well as the trapped humans like himself.

Come here to help!
"This is really great! It's reinforcements!" Liu Lu exclaimed.

"Those old guys acted pretty quickly this time!" Zhao Hongying had tears in her eyes at this time, and she couldn't control her excitement.

Anlecheng frowned slightly and glanced carefully at the human troops that were heading towards this side.

I felt a little more confused.

"Were those human troops...really sent by the Mage Tower?"

Those human troops are matched very reasonably.

And it’s so strong!
Especially looking at those 62 heavy cavalrymen, both men and horses, fully armed to the teeth.

Even those of them who were once Blue Star Affairs Officers of the federal government, who had built up mage towers with the help of their resources in the early days, rarely had such elite human troops!
"This fragment of the spiritual plane that is destined to descend upon the Longcheng area...as expected, it hides many secrets."

Anlecheng thought of his old leader, who is also the current manager of the Mage Tower. As a level 8 Shaping Mage, he had specifically talked about some things with him when they had a private conversation before.

It is a reminder of the countless floating dimensional fragments in the Longcheng area of ​​the Blue Star and the place outside the Blue Star that has become the star realm.

"About the secret of the disappearance of the gods." Anlecheng pursed his lips, and a solemn look appeared in his eyes.

But I don’t want to delve into it.

Especially looking at the one that has already started to move towards this side from behind the reverse slope of the sand dune.

This attracted a group of crazy and excited abyss demons to rush over and start a battle.

He raised his hand and clenched the staff. At the same time, he used his mental power to outline the structure of a spell in his mind, and then released it with a surge of magic power:

"Energy missile!"

‘Whoosh whoosh! ’

In an instant, a series of special sounds of breaking through the air appeared.

At the tip of the staff raised by Anlecheng, seven or eight blue light balls the size of an adult's fist emerged, with comet-like tail flames, and quickly smashed into the group of demons below that were trying to rush towards the support troops.

'boom! ’

The shock waves and destructive power generated by the energy explosions spread violently.

Another dozen abyss demons were unable to dodge in time and had huge holes blown on their bodies by the energy missiles.

An unlucky abyss demon happened to be very close to the path of the energy missile explosion.

When the irrepressible energy in the energy missile exploded violently, half of his body was blown to pieces, and the scattered flesh and blood splashed all over the sky, as if it was raining blood and flesh!
"Let's take action too." An Lecheng said at this time: "Don't let the support troops underestimate us!"

"Okay!" Liu Lu and Zhao Hongying responded.

Raise the staff in your hand.

One after another, the most basic first-level energy-shaping spells and energy missiles smashed down violently.

It was as if grenades were thrown out, exploding among the abyss demons.

These abyss demons were instantly blown to pieces!

Anle City’s idea was very simple, they came here to search for architectural-type spiritual marks for the Mage Tower, not to look for those legends.

He is just a small level 4 Shaper mage.

Be cautious in your words and deeds.

It is the basic operation of every affairs officer.

……

At this time, he had already moved forward, with 50 Swadian sergeants and 87 Swadian light infantry, and had formed up on the plain at the foot of the hill near the direction of the castle.

Straight spears were raised forward and rows of soldiers were stacked tightly together.

In just a few minutes, the spear phalanx was deployed, forming a dense steel forest. With the shield wall composed of rows of fan-shaped shields in the front, it looked like an insurmountable chasm when viewed from the front!
At this time, Bandak was still commanding in a deep voice: "Vikia archers, occupy the top of the hill and shoot freely!"

"Understood!" The 50 Vikia archers immediately dispersed on the hill.

Located on a high ground, we have the advantage of terrain.

Then, looking at the abyss demons rushing towards this side, he pulled out his cone-head arrow from behind, then put it on the high-quality nomadic bow and pulled it.

'Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!'

Then came a rapid downpour, and the Vikia archers began to shoot out arrows in succession with their skillful movements.

The snake demons that were rushing in the front, wielding two scimitars and with upper bodies similar to those of humans and lower bodies with thick snake tails, were hit by feather arrows one by one during the charge. They fell wailing in the sand of the wasteland and soon lost their voices!

50 Vikia archers took their positions and began to output firepower.

In the world of Mount & Blade, even a sixth-level Nord King has to choose respect. He needs to hold up his large and thick Nord royal round shield to resist, as well as the heavy chain mail with amazing defensive power on his body, before he dares to move forward.

These snake demons only have two scimitars, no armor on their bodies, and their skin is not as tough as that of the horned demons. They rely entirely on their tails to maneuver quickly.

When faced with such a dense rain of arrows, you can only be slaughtered!

As for the little demons flapping their wings and jumping with iron forks above the heads of these snake demons, they were like sparrows. They were hit one by one by the dense and precise feather arrows, and fell headfirst to the ground on the spot, dying even faster!

The two sides came into contact at a distance of 200 meters, and then 50 Vikia archers began long-range attacks.

As the distance quickly approaches.

The number of snake demons and little demons that fell alone, added together, is probably over 80.

What appeared in front of these snake demons and little devils was a phalanx of spears composed of Swadians who were ready for battle, like iron hedgehogs, making one's scalp tingle just by looking at them!
This caused these cruel and cunning snake demons to slow down their charge.

They are not stupid.

To charge directly into such an elite phalanx of spears protected by shields would be tantamount to seeking death!

With so many snake demons and little demons, they already have the advantage in numbers. Now they are still in a desert wilderness area, so there is no need to forcefully charge into the spear phalanx.

In the abyss, civil wars often break out among these demons.

In other words, different kinds of demons, even demons of the same kind, will erupt in civil war as long as they are displeased with each other for various reasons, or even for no reason. This is a common daily activity for demons.

So these demons just have to survive one civil war after another.

Basically they are old hands on the battlefield.

Now, before they have even gotten close to the human troops, so many of their companions have been shot dead. Of course, these snake demons will consider tactical arrangements.

Although the so-called tactics were arranged rather crudely by the demons formed by these negative emotions and their desire for killing and blood.

But basic simple tactics such as attacking both wings, flanking, and concentrated breakthroughs can still be accomplished!
Now, many snake demons began to move to the left and right at the same time.

Waving the scimitar in his hand.

There was a snake tongue coming out of his mouth.

One by one, they let out a low, hideous laugh, stared with their scarlet snake eyes, and twisted their tails to make themselves move faster in the sand!

"Lake Rat Gang saboteurs! Guard the left side!" Bandak's face remained unchanged when he saw the snake demons rushing over.

He stretched out his hand and directed the 50 Lake Rat Gang saboteurs behind him to move to the left.

Then he looked to the right, turned his head to look at Shen Mu and Fatis, and said in a deep voice:

"Mr. Fatis, if possible, I want you to lead the Swadia heavy cavalry to attack when the demons are within 50 meters. Be the first to rush over the abyss demons coming to the right and crush their right-wing attack force!"

"I understand." Fatis responded in a deep voice, without any hesitation, and immediately rode back.

Because at this time, as the cavalry captain, the 10 Swadian knights and 40 Swadian heavy cavalry under his command were still hiding in the reverse slope behind the hill, waiting for orders!
"Shhh!" At this moment, the carefully trained war horses from the manors of the Kingdom of Swadia were wagging their noses in annoyance.

The horse's hooves under his crotch were also moving downwards, digging some sand and soil on the rock strata of the hill.

As for the Swadian knights and cavalry, they were all standing beside their horses at this time, looking at Fatis riding over from the hill and holding the reins, and they all smiled.

"Get on the horse! Follow me! Get ready to charge!"

As Fatis's voice rang out on the hill, these Swadian knights and heavy cavalrymen immediately jumped on their horses. The smiles on their faces turned into grim grins as they couldn't wait to get into combat before a fierce battle!
The sound of horse hooves suddenly began to appear behind the hill. These heavy cavalrymen slowly moved forward to the top of the hill, but did not show their heads directly.

Because Fatis was estimating the distance between the two sides.

At 50 meters.

He raised his spear and led the fellow countrymen from the Kingdom of Swadia to charge:
