Real Mount and Blade Game

Chapter 92: Secrets from the Gods

The three people from Anle City clearly felt that Shen Mu was also observing the gazes of his soldiers.

There was a slight embarrassment on his face.

There's no way around it.

Because the human followers they brought this time were actually human soldiers from a small territory in the Lion Principality.

Except for a small number of elite soldiers wearing chain mail and holding long swords and round shields.

Most of the remaining soldiers were wearing leather armor and coarse linen robes, and their weapons were spears or ordinary round shields and long swords. They had just experienced a battle with the little devil on the rammed earth wall.

As a result, everyone was injured and looked extremely miserable, looking really miserable.

The key point is that compared with those soldiers who are covered in armor, the difference is like heaven and earth!

But after all, these are the spiritual human followers of their Justice Mage Tower, and they also represent the face of their Justice Mage Tower, so they cannot show weakness at this time.

So Anlecheng turned around and introduced and affirmed openly:

"These are the brave soldiers from the Lion Principality. They showed their strong will in the battle with the Abyss Demons just now. We in the Justice Mage Tower like them very much."

"Well, it's really good." Shen Mu nodded, looking at these injured humans, with a strange look flashing in his eyes.

This was the first time he encountered human followers, who looked very similar to his own Mount and Blade soldiers.

They all have Western-type faces.

Compared with the spiritual world, the faces of humans are mainly Oriental, which is fundamentally different.

No wonder now, with just a little identification, one can clearly analyze whether this person is a human from the blue planet or a human from the spiritual world.

Judging from the memories left by my previous incarnation, there are no white or black people in this world called Blue Star.

There is only one race with Oriental faces.

Only yellow people.

"By the way, dear Mr. Shen Mu, we would like to give you a small gift to thank you for your help."

After a brief exchange, they told each other their names.

An Lecheng took out two crystals from his arms, stretched out his hand and pretended to hand them to Shen Mu, saying:

"Inside these two spiritual world seals, there are stone towers that are 8 meters high and 10 meters wide. Wooden boxes have been installed at the 6-meter position, and an additional 3-meter war shed has been built on the top floor. It is a small gift from our Justice Mage Tower."

"Stone tower." Shen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, and the words that were about to refuse stopped at his lips.

Now he really lacks a building that can resist the rules of the undead.

Although there are various buildings in the Mount and Blade system.

However, being able to absorb the buildings in the rules of the spiritual world and form a defensive advantage in city construction in a short period of time is always better than slowly building buildings in the spiritual world.

Moreover, according to this man called Anlecheng, these two spiritual world seals seal two large towers.

As long as it is materialized in the blue planet.

That means that in an instant, Shen Mu had two sturdy and tall stone towers that could be garrisoned with hired crossbowmen and archers!

"Thank you." Shen Mu did not refuse at this time, but nodded to express his gratitude.

And right next to him, a Swadian sergeant, at Bandak's nod, immediately walked forward, took the two spiritual world seals from Anlecheng's hand, put them in his pocket, and stood back beside Shen Mu.

He was leaning on a 3-meter-long spear in each hand and carrying a heavy fan-shaped shield on his back, looking like an elite guard.

This really made Shen Mu proud.

Indeed, Anlecheng, Liu Lu and Zhao Hongying all showed envious looks in their eyes.

But after a brief exchange of words with Shen Mu, An Le Cheng first said: "Mr. Shen Mu, I look forward to seeing you next time. If you come across our Luocheng Binggong Mage Tower while searching for the mark of the spirit world in the astral world, then as our friend, we are willing to cooperate with you no matter where you are."

"Of course, we are friends." Shen Mu smiled and nodded, agreeing with their title.

Just a title.

But he cared more about what Anle City said about searching for the spiritual mark of the Mage Tower in the astral realm.

Looking at Anlecheng and others, it was obvious that they wanted to leave here.

Shen Mu did not hide the fact that he did not understand this statement, and asked directly: "I'm sorry, Mr. An Lecheng, I want to know what you mean by searching for the mark of the spirit world in the astral world?"

"Huh?" Just Shen Mu's question made the three people in Anle City stunned.

After looking at each other, the three of them saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

With such human followers.

It also controls the power of the caster.

This mysterious Mr. Shen Mu was actually asking them such low-level questions.

An Lecheng still smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that Mr. Shen Mu is not usually responsible for these outings. This is no wonder. After all, going to the astral world and entering the spiritual world scenes and planes created by the collapse of various crystal wall systems is indeed somewhat dangerous."

"Please continue." Shen Mu listened carefully.

"In fact, this is not difficult to understand. Just like the spiritual world scenes we occasionally encounter on the Blue Planet, we can actively enter the many spiritual world scenes scattered in the astral world through the connection between the soul anchor point and the spiritual world followers."

An Lecheng explained: "It is equivalent to the spirit world scene that appeared on Blue Star being passive, while we actively seek out the spirit world scenes that have not yet landed on Blue Star and are still floating in the star world, and obtain some spirit world marks and corresponding inheritance from them."

"That's right." Shen Mu nodded slightly, although he didn't fully understand it.

But if you think about it, you can understand it a little bit by guessing.

"Master Shen Mu, when the souls of you and your followers in the spirit world resonate to a certain degree, you will have this ability."

An Le Cheng also reminded at this time: "Besides, although there is a high probability of obtaining many opportunities when going to this kind of star realm, you must know that it is indeed very dangerous. We are an example now. If it weren't for the appearance and benevolent help of Lord Shen Mu, we would be in some danger."

As he spoke, Anlecheng sighed, "If our city of Luo had not encountered the undead disaster and was in urgent need of various supplies, we would not have been sent to the Star Realm to search for supplies."

"Oh." Shen Mu responded.

Just by listening to what Anlecheng said, he felt that his predecessor seemed to have spent a lot of time in vain during the three years when the undead rules came into being.

I don’t even know a lot of useful information.

"We can't talk any longer, Mr. Shen Mu, let's say goodbye now." An Lecheng estimated the time and decided not to stay here any longer.

But before leaving, he pointed in the direction of the castle and said, "The castle over there is a castle building in the spiritual world, with its own spiritual world mark. If you are interested, Lord Shen Mu, you can spend a few days to erase the demonic corruption on it and make it your own castle."

"Thank you." Shen Mu thanked again.

Then he watched Anlecheng raise his staff, and all the Blue Star humans and human followers instantly turned into phantoms.

"Whoosh!" It then turned into a beam of light, shot up into the sky, and disappeared.

Shen Mu was slightly stunned when he saw this scene.

“Sure enough, whether it’s the astral world, exploring the spiritual world, or the related information that disappeared into a phantom, my predecessor knew nothing about it.”

Shen Mu looked a little helpless at this time.

Fortunately, most of his face is now hidden under the helmet, otherwise he would really feel ashamed of his parallel self.

No wonder he was bullied by the people from the diesel company and had to cut his wrists. There was a reason for that.

"Sir, they have left." Bandak spoke at this time, interrupting Shen Mu's silence.

"Yeah." Shen Mu nodded.

"It seems that Fatis and his men have captured the leaders and chiefs of those jackals. Do we need to go over and take a look?"

Bandak inquired.

"No need." Shen Mu raised his head and looked in the direction of the castle which was not far ahead.

Thinking of Anle City, it is said that there are still marks of the spiritual world inside the castle.

He was moved and said, "Let Fatis escort all the captured jackals to the castle."

"Understood." Bandak nodded.

"Also, send someone to investigate the castle to make sure there are no remaining demons inside." Shen Mu added.

"Lord Shen Mu, I will lead the people there myself." Bandak answered seriously.

Then he assigned a dozen Swadian soldiers and Lake Rat Gang saboteurs to follow him to the castle that stood in the wilderness a few hundred meters away and was out of tune with the surrounding sand.

After checking the castle and confirming that there were no problems, he notified Shen Mu and others to move in.

By the way, on the other side of the hill, Fatis also came here, suppressing those gnolls.

"Be honest!"

A total of 6 gnolls were captured, and under the guard of Fatis and 60 knights and heavy cavalry, they slowly walked over, which seemed particularly luxurious.

At least these six jackals, seeing that the heavy cavalrymen around them, who were all wearing heavy armor, actually valued them so much, the idea of ​​how to escape in the muddy waters that was originally in their minds completely disappeared.

They don't think that if they, the jackals, run away, these human heavy cavalry will not kill them.

Looking at the blood still on their bodies, they still feel a chill despite their sensitive sense of smell.

This is the blood stain that was created by killing many abyss demons.

It is enough to witness these heavy cavalry...

How many demons were killed!
"They are all butchers who love killing. There is no difference between the Abyss Demons and these human heavy cavalry!"

Among the six gnolls, there was a gnoll leader with a missing ear. He looked a little moved at this time:

"At first I wanted that guy named Zhang from the diesel company to take me away, but after so much time, he still hasn't gathered enough rule power to come here. It's really nonsense!"

"Now that I have encountered such a powerful human lord, if I choose to be loyal to him, perhaps I will live a good life?"

Thinking of this, the werewolf looked at the old werewolf leader next to him who raised him.

He licked the corner of his mouth with his tongue.

It does remember.

As the old chief of the gnoll tribe, it seems that he has a secret about gods!

"Don't hesitate, lower your head!"

So these gnolls were taken into the castle hall by the Lake Rat Gang vandals.

Just after entering, before the werewolf could look around and see the situation inside the castle hall clearly, he was slapped on the back of his head by a big hand.

A slap with a mail gauntlet.

The werewolf with a missing piece of his ear felt a buzzing in his head, and even his thoughts were distracted.

After staggering forward a few steps, before he could stand still, he was kicked in the leg again.

Then he fell to his knees with a thump.

"My lord, these jackals have been brought here."

The Lake Rat Gang saboteurs then retracted their feet, came to Shen Mu, put their hands on their chests, and reported respectfully.

"Yeah." Shen Mu was sitting on a chair that he had found and was still in good condition.

On both sides are Vikia archers holding axes.

In the dim light, the two-handed axe flashed with cold light, and the cold light it displayed at this moment was enough to make people feel cold in their hearts at just one glance.

All of these were kicked to the ground. The werewolf who was kneeling in front of Shen Mu just subconsciously glanced at them out of the corner of his eye.

One by one, they knelt down on the ground in humility, feeling panic in their hearts.

"Dear sir, we are the gnolls living in this desert! We are also the natives invaded by the demons! We have no ill intentions!"

At this time, these gnolls also lay on the ground, wailing and stretching out their hands, indicating their submission without any other thoughts.

Of course, now they are the butchers and we are the meat.

Even if I have any ideas, how can I express them now? Isn't this courting death?
"My Lord, I once followed the humans of Blue Star and fought against the undead monsters together! We are willing to choose to surrender! We are willing to become your followers! Let's fight against those undead monsters together!"

Especially among these six jackals who kept begging for mercy, the jackal with a missing ear kept stating that he had once been a follower of the humans on Blue Star.

"Hmm?" Shen Mu, who was just sitting on the chair and looked over when he heard the voice, showed a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Before the jackal revealed his identity, he just felt that he looked familiar.

When the werewolf revealed his identity.

He said that he once followed the humans from Blue Star as a follower.

Shen Mu confirmed its identity directly, and couldn't help but reveal a mocking smile, with a little more sarcasm in his eyes: "Oh, Momit."

Shen Mu said the name lightly.

But when this name came out of his mouth, the werewolf with a missing ear suddenly raised his head in astonishment.

The furry, naturally ferocious head of the jackal, which was slightly thin, was now full of surprise and confusion.

It didn't know why the human lord in front of it, who was wearing such sophisticated and beautiful armor, recognized it.

"Damn it! Keep your head down!"

But before Momit, who was missing a piece of his ear, could say anything.

Just behind him, a sound of wind appeared.

Then a Lake Rat Gang saboteur came over quickly and kicked it directly on the shoulder because it raised its head rashly, causing it to fall heavily to the ground on the spot.

At the same time, he fell in front of Shen Mu, just in front of the chain mail greaves.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

Then, footsteps were heard again, and two two-handed axes fell directly next to the head of the werewolf Momit whose ear was missing.

On the ground, which was also made of stone slabs, tiny sparks were created.

Then came the deep and angry rebuke from the Vigia archer:

"I'm telling you! Remember your humble status! Whoever dares to raise his head again! Show disrespect to the adults! Then you will be punished!"

“Yes… yes!”

The gnoll Momit ignored the pain in his shoulder and quickly lay on the ground in response.

The two axes just now were almost heading towards his head.

If the Vikia archer who was using the axe had not slightly changed the direction of his chop at the last moment, its head would have exploded like a watermelon!

Even now, the jackal Momit still felt a slight chill at the back of his head.

My heart was beating violently out of fear!
"Ah."

However, sitting on the chair in front of him, Shen Mu let out a soft laugh.

Looking at the disheveled werewolf Mommit in front of him, and the five werewolf chiefs and leaders who were kneeling there trembling with their butts raised high, his eyes became more and more amusement-filled.

Sometimes, Shen Mu couldn't help but sigh that fate had too many evil twists and turns.

This was a gnoll with a missing ear.

Isn't it one of the jackals that the guy named Geng Jun, whom I met in the apartment before, possessed?

"Momite, I didn't expect that we would meet again." Shen Mu said lightly.

"Ah?" Momit, whose ear was missing, was about to raise his head, but he felt the pain in his shoulder. He immediately forced his neck down and lowered his head again. He complimented with a trembling voice, "My lord, I didn't expect you to have met a humble me."

But no matter how I thought in my mind, I didn't know when this werewolf Momit had met Shen Mu.

Look at this luxurious armor and these elite human soldiers around.

In the mind of the gnoll Mormit.

There is no impression at all!
"Oh, maybe you forgot." Shen Mu's tone was still very playful: "Let me remind you, there is also a person named Geng Jun in the apartment, you should still remember it, right?"

After saying this, the werewolf Momit, who was still randomly guessing whether Shen Mu had remembered it wrong, suddenly raised his head.

There was horror in his eyes.

For a moment, an idea that made it extremely crazy and unbelievable appeared in its mind.

It even blurted out: "You are the one...who has human followers, Shen Mu!"

The time when the two sides came into contact was not long ago.

It was less than a month at most. Now the jackal Momit still remembered his name when Shen Mu introduced himself to Geng Jun.

But as soon as these words came out of his mouth, there was a commotion behind him.

Whether it was the Vikria archers, the Lake Rat Gang vandals, or the Swadian sergeants and light infantry, they all stared at it with angry eyes.

There was even a hot-tempered Lake Rat Gang saboteur who came over and kicked it on the back:

"How dare you! How dare you say Lord Shen Mu's name directly!"

The heavy force made the werewolf Momit feel that his spine and ribs were almost broken. He was unable to breathe for more than ten seconds, and a fishy and sweet taste rushed from his throat into his mouth.

"Cough cough cough..." As it coughed in pain, its nasal cavity and mouth were filled with fine blood foam.

Obviously, this kick directly injured its lungs and internal organs.

However, this werewolf Momit didn't care about his injuries at all. When he suddenly looked up just now, he saw the amusement and sarcasm in Shen Mu's eyes, as well as the indifference in the depths of his eyes.

Such indifference towards life immediately made it howl loudly in fear:
"No, no, no! Respected Lord Shen Mu! Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I still have a secret that can save my life! I still have a secret! The secret about the gods! The secret about the gods!"

"Momit! Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about!" The old werewolf chief who was originally kneeling behind raised his head in disbelief, looking at the child he raised, who actually told his biggest secret.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, "You don't know anything at all!"

"I know I know!"

The jackal Momit trembled all over at this time, but he said loudly and resolutely:

"That is really the secret of the gods! I once heard it whispering to itself in the dark! It said that as long as we crack this secret! We can solve the problem that after the abyss demons and the humans of Blue Star leave, we will be sealed in the long river of time again!"

As it spoke, it also said loudly and affirmatively: "That! It is the God of the Gnolls! The secret of Yeenoghu!"

'Om! '

Just when the werewolf Momit shouted out this name, some subtle but rule-based fluctuations instantly appeared.

But right inside this castle hall, Shen Mu’s brows released an equally subtle, yet more powerful and resilient wave that completely suppressed the entire castle hall.

[Ding! You chose '②Express malice'. The malice you revealed let these jackals know that if they dare to deceive you, there will definitely be no good results.]

[Ding! The system is scanning this creature and this large spirit world scene…]

[The system is scanning events to build subsequent temporary tasks...]

At the same time, at this moment, the dialog box appeared on Shen Mu's retina again.

The above content appears in a quick refresh.

It was Shen Mu who frowned slightly.

A stream of warm heat began to appear between his eyebrows and turned into a white light that flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, invisible waves began to spread and cover the castle.

'Om! '

It spread out rapidly and began to ripple in the large spiritual world scene composed of the desert and a small oasis.

At this time, the gnoll Momit, who was already terrified because he had killed Geng Jun with his own hands, turned around and pointed at the old gnoll chief who raised him and said loudly:
"It is the chief of this Gnoll tribe! I clearly remember that before the crystal wall system collapsed, it picked up a artifact that fell from the sky... It seems to be the artifact of Yeenoghu, the God of Gnolls!"

[Ding! The fourth stage mission is released - let the old gnoll chief hand over the artifact of "Yenogu, the God of Gnolls"! ]

[Stage mission rewards: ① Skill enhancement (divine power enhancement). 】

At this moment, the dialog box from the Mount and Blade system appeared again in front of Shen Mu.

This is equivalent to clearly hinting to Shen Mu!
"Skill enhancement, and divine power enhancement." Shen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly.

Just looking at the name makes you feel it's something special.

Shen Mu looked down at Momite.

The jackal said immediately, "As long as you let me go, I will tell you!"

"Momite! You are betraying our ancestors! You are betraying our gods! You will surely receive the most cruel retribution!"

The old werewolf chief was extremely angry. He struggled to stand up and roared and cursed at Momit viciously.

But Momit, who had lost his ear, didn't care about the old chief's anger at all.

Instead, he looked at Shen Mu with hope, and said in a trembling voice: "Everything I said is true! I can take you to our tribe. I saw with my own eyes that it dug a hole in its tent and hid the artifact of Yeenoghu, the God of the Gnolls!"

"You!!!" The old werewolf chief wanted to say something.

But as Shen Mu frowned slightly and glanced at the Lake Rat Gang saboteur next to him who was very good at observing people's words and expressions.

"Bang!" The Lake Rat Gang saboteur drew out the armor-piercing axe from his waist, aimed at the jackal's head and swung it down fiercely.

The hard and sharp axe directly broke the head of the old werewolf chief.

Blood mixed with brain matter gushed out immediately.

"Old man! What are you yelling for?"

The Lake Rat Gang saboteur snorted coldly and kicked the old werewolf chief, whose eyes had dimmed instantly and whose facial expression had become stiff.

By the way, he used the force to pull out the armor-piercing axe stuck in the skull, and pointed the axe stained with blood and brain matter at the four jackals who were already trembling with fear and even urine appeared on their lower bodies, and threatened viciously:
"Listen carefully to what Master Shen Mu says!"

"Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie!"

This tragic scene immediately caused the other 49 Lake Rat Gang vandals in the castle to grin grimly.

Just kill the prisoners.

What’s more, they are a group of gnolls, captives who are completely different from humans.

These Lake Rat Gang vandals have no psychological burden at all.

Moreover, even if it was to kill human captives, these Lake Rat Gang saboteurs, who were originally bandits, villains and robbers, did not hesitate at all, because they had done a lot of such things!

Even Fatis, who walked into the castle with 10 Swadian knights and 10 Holy Tree knights behind him, frowned slightly but said nothing.

Fatis is a person of moral purist.

The killing of prisoners, the burning of villages, the looting and the killing of villagers all led to protests from the Fatis.

But that was all on the continent of Calradia, where all the inhabitants were humans.

Now facing these gnolls, the various noble qualities that the knight had for the human race were not extended to him.

Fatis can tell good from bad.

"..." It was Shen Mu who was sitting at the top, his eyes twitching slightly.

His look was just to make the Lake Rat Gang saboteur teach the old chief a lesson instead of killing him directly.

"I said! Don't kill me! I said!" But looking at the werewolf Mommit who was crying and howling in front of him, Shen Mu still pursed his lips.

Without saying much, he just said calmly: "Take my friend Momit out and find the things hidden in the gnoll tribe."

"Understood!" Immediately, two Lake Rat Gang vandals came over.

One of them picked up the arm of the werewolf with a missing ear, frowned and looked between his wet legs, dragging the body that was so scared that it was paralyzed and unable to stand up, and walked out of the castle.

"Let's get ready to go." Shen Mu stood up from his chair.

The infantry and archers in the castle, as well as the knights who came in, all began to walk outside.

However, Shen Mu did not follow him out immediately.

Bandak and 10 Lake Rat Gang saboteurs were also standing beside Shen Mu at this time. They turned their heads and looked towards the direction leading to the second floor of the castle, which was also the direction of the spiral staircase.

Because when Bandak and the Lake Rat Gang vandals were searching the castle before, they discovered the mark of the spiritual world in the castle.

In other words, it represents the core mark of this spiritual building!
An object that was in the innermost room on the second floor of the castle, flickering with a faint white light, and looked like crystal.

“It’s right here.”

Bandake led Shen Mu upstairs and pushed open the tattered wooden door himself.

A few rays of light shone in from the narrow window, just illuminating the crystal in the room that was already emitting a bright white light.

'Om! '

When Shen Mu came over, subtle fluctuations were released from the crystal.

It was as if it was rejoicing that humans from Blue Star had come and were able to control this building core with special powers that was condensed from the power of countless rules after the collapse of the spiritual world!
"The mark of the spiritual world." Shen Mu walked forward and reached out to hold the crystal in his hand.

'Om! '

The fluctuations in the crystal became more and more violent.

But at this moment, the Mount and Blade system between Shen Mu's eyebrows took effect again.

A warm heat began to surge out and directly turned into white light and countless data streams, as if a big hand directly grasped the crystal that was still emitting regular fluctuations.

Then he pulled the crystal back to Shen Mu's forehead and disappeared.

Only the dialog box appeared in front of Shen Mu.

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

[You can transform this special energy into a real 'dilapidated small castle' at any time! ]

[Ding! King Harlaus from the Kingdom of Swadia has heard about your story and learned about the small castle with special rules from another world that you just obtained. He is willing to exchange it with you for the "mountain castle of the Kingdom of Rhodok" that he just occupied. (This may cause some criticism from the Kingdom of Rhodok.) ]

"..." Just looking at the contents on the retina in front of him, Shen Mu pursed his lips slightly.

He felt like something was wrong.

but…

If you think about it carefully, this is indeed something that Ha Laosi can do.

Shen Mu wanted to say a few dirty words about this king, whose reputation in the game was controversial. But after meeting him in reality, he felt that his reputation was indeed well-deserved.

"No wonder the Kingdom of Swadia is invincible in field battles and produces a lot of wheat. The lords you have caused trouble to defect one after another, and the elite troops were buried. It was the first kingdom to be destroyed among the six kingdoms."

Pursing his lips, Shen Mu was a little speechless.

‘Wow! ’

Before Shen Mu could think any further, a series of subtle changes suddenly occurred around him.

It was as if the entire castle had lost its color and was slowly fading.

"Let's go! This place is almost disappearing!"

Shen Mu knew that this was because he had obtained the scene core of this small castle. After the mark of the spiritual world was created, the power of rules that created it was disappearing, causing the building to also begin to disappear.

"Escort Lord Shen Mu! Let's go!" Bandake immediately pushed the door and let Shen Mu go first.

The group ran quickly in the castle where countless colors began to disappear and gradually turned into nothingness.

It wasn't until we came outside that a long while passed.

Finally all the colors of the castle disappeared.

Completely transparent.

It also means that the castle has completely disappeared in this desolate and barren desert.

Only the rammed earth walls on the four sides are still intact, but many details have collapsed. They still stand here, proving that there seemed to be a large building surrounded by this circle of rammed earth walls inside the city wall.

But it's all gone now.

"Let's go."

Shen Mu climbed onto the horse.

He turned his head and looked at the distant horizon, where the jackals were still being forcibly escorted by the Fatis and Swadian cavalrymen towards the depths of the desert, and waved forward.

Then he galloped on horseback with 10 Holy Tree Knights and quickly caught up with them.

"Let's go too." Bandak did not follow with these infantrymen and archers.

Instead, he walked in the direction he came from.

By the way, look at the demon corpses still lying on the ground, as well as the various inferior and crude, but still practical weapons made of abyss iron ore thrown casually in the desert.

Bandak hesitated for a moment, then turned around and told the soldiers behind him, "Prepare to clean up the battlefield. Each of you should take as many spoils as you can."

"Understood!" the soldiers responded.

They all dispersed and began to clean up the spoils on the battlefield, picking up scimitars, iron forks, chains, maces and the like and holding them in their arms.

Although it all looks a bit funny.

But as long as they return to the village, these are the spoils they have captured, which can be exchanged for dinars for Shen Mu and ease the financial pressure.

As soldiers loyal to the legendary figure Shen Mu, they can be said to have done their duty conscientiously.

‘Boom! ’

At this time, Shen Mu continued to ride his horse forward.

The other heavy cavalrymen around him were now galloping quickly on their horses, heading towards the depths of the desert.

As for the five remaining gnolls after killing the old gnoll chief, they were all thrown onto the horses, with their waists hunched like shrimps, and were carried away by the cavalrymen.

However, the violent shaking of the galloping war horses and the hard armor rubbed their stomachs.

It almost made these jackals vomit.

Fortunately.

As the horses galloped quickly, they came to the only water source in this desert area.

In an oasis of about thirty to forty acres.

"Here... this is the Sentinel Oasis. It used to be the outermost part of the Lion Principality. In order to defend against the bandit races in the wasteland, we, the gnolls, the hobgoblins, and the centaur tribes in the deeper areas, set up sentries."

At this time, the werewolf Momit, who was missing a part of his ear, also struggled to get off his horse.

Holding his stomach, he looked towards the oasis full of tents in front of him with a complicated expression.

He swallowed a mouthful of blood, resisting the discomfort and said, "However, the crystal wall system has been shattered, and the Lion Principality has been separated from this place, so the Sentinel Oasis has become the lair of us jackals."

"Snap!" Before Momit could finish his words, a whip hit his back from behind, making a crisp sound.

The fur on the werewolf's back exploded, leaving a deep bloody mark.

"Let's talk business!"

It was a Swadian heavy cavalryman waving a whip in his hand, with an undisguised look of disgust on his face under his flat-top helmet: "In which tent is the artifact that Lord Shen Mu needs?"

"I..." Fear and despair appeared in the werewolf Momit's eyes at this time, and he opened his mouth full of sharp teeth as if he wanted to say something.

But Shen Mu rode his horse in front, looking at the messy tent, and predicted what it would say first, and said lightly:

"As long as you can help me find the so-called artifact of Yeenoghu, the God of the Gnolls, then I promise that I will not kill you."

"It's right there!" Upon hearing Shen Mu's promise, the werewolf Momit's eyes suddenly showed joy.

Looking at the other gnoll leaders who were looking at him with hatred, he walked forward quickly, pointed at a slightly larger tent, and said in a deep voice: "That's the old man's tent, the thing is buried under a blanket in the northeast corner!"

"Yes." Shen Mu led the team and moved forward immediately.

The sound of horse hooves thundered.

Inside the tent at the oasis, one seemed to hear the rumbling sound of horse hooves, which sounded like thunder.

About a thousand jackals, some female, some old and some young, howled in fear and began to flee into the depths of the desert.

The tragic memories of the Lion Duchy left in the minds of these gnolls are still unforgettable.

Every year, troops are organized regularly to come here to strangle the bandit races in the wilderness.

However, the Lion Duchy, which advocates the use of force, is an excellent place for training tactical coordination and honing the command ability and tactical skills of new noble knights!

Even though they knew that the crystal wall system had collapsed, the Lion Duchy stayed away from this desert.

But now it was obvious that a group of heavy cavalry were rushing over.

Memories of fear resurfaced.

Of course these gnolls were so frightened that they collapsed and all ran away on the spot!
