Real Mount and Blade Game

Chapter 97: Caravan to the White Tower

"Use props!" Shen Mu took this opportunity to communicate with the system again through his mind.

The dialog box appeared again in front of me.

[Ding! You have used the "White Tower's Trade Permit (Special Business Rules)". ]

[Your name and experience have spread to many Mount & Blade worlds, including the 'Mount & Blade Lord of the Rings World'. As the Maia among the elves, the speaker of the Holy White Council, the master of the White Tower, the white-robed wizard Saruman, who is respected by all countries, forces and nations in Middle-earth, has also heard of your name and experience. ]

[And he also knew that you summoned a Holy Light Torch Tower from the Holy White Council, an important building used to resist evil demons, detect evil, and help fragile races resist erosion.]

[So Saruman is willing to maintain friendly exchanges with you and is willing to open up the trade rights in the White Tower area to you. As long as it is your caravan, it can go to the White Tower area to conduct normal commercial trade. ]

[Tip: Saruman likes the 'Abyss Demons' you meet very much, and is willing to use high dinars to buy the corpses of these Abyss Demons. If it is a living Abyss Demon slave, he is willing to pay more to reward your hard work and efforts. ]

[Tip: Since you have not formed a formal caravan, you cannot trade. ]

[Hint: Because you have +8 legendary reputation in the Kingdom of Swadia, a caravan leader from the Kingdom of Swadia heard about your lack of caravans while chatting in the tavern. Therefore, he is willing to recommend himself to be your caravan leader and is willing to help you form a caravan you need. You only need to pay 5000 dinars.]

[Hint: A wanderer who is proficient in business and was once a business elite has also heard the news that you are short of caravans. At this time, he is desperate and is willing to follow the caravan leader and join you. (This person is a business-oriented general)]

Then, a series of dialog boxes appeared on Shen Mu’s retina again.

Especially the last two hints, which Shen Mu was somewhat surprised about.

"There is a lack of caravans, but there is a caravan leader in the Kingdom of Swadia who can help me form the caravan I need!?"

Shen Mu looked at the contents of the dialog box, and then looked at the last one: "There is also a...business-oriented general?"

This made Shen Mu a little curious.

However, these 5000 dinars seem to hit the soft spot directly.

You know, Shen Mu now seems to have only 5000 dinars.

"Forget it, the old must go before the new can come." Shen Mu pursed his lips, sighed, and made a choice: "I choose to pay the dinar."

‘Crash! ’

When Shen Mu agreed, he instantly heard the crisp sound of metal coins colliding and falling.

For others, it also carries with it the beautiful feeling of pearls falling on a jade plate.

But for Shen Mu.

This is how the huge amounts of dinars disappeared, turning his generous moment of accumulating more than 100 dinars into the embarrassing moment where he doesn't even have dinars now.

"But it's okay, at least I kill two birds with one stone." Shen Mu curled his lips and sighed to comfort himself.

After all, the caravan leader can help you form a better caravan.

At the same time, an additional business-type general can be given as a gift.

The most crucial one is this general.

"Could it be Manid?" Shen Mu touched his chin at this time, and an extremely classic business-oriented general from the world of Mount and Blade emerged in his mind.

According to the analysis, it seems that Manid is the only purely business-oriented general.

While Shen Mu was thinking, the dialog box popped up again.

[Ding! A newly formed large caravan is heading towards your town "Dherim".]

[It is filled with provisions and gifts given to you by the leader of the caravan as a token of gratitude.]

[And there is also a business-oriented general following. ]

"Coming?" Shen Mu seemed to have a special sixth sense and subconsciously looked towards the north.

Just at the end of the northern direction, a vague shadow appeared.

As Shen Mu gazed into the distance.

Only then did they realize that it was a commercial van pulled by 30 pack horses.

There were 100 familiar mercenary sentinels around, armed with hunting crossbows and carrying shields and spears, following the 30 commercial vans.

When encountering muddy and bumpy ground, these hired sentinels will help push the van, or use ropes to help drag it, so that the speed of the van will not slow down.

However, around these carriages and hired sentinels, 40 caravan guards riding on traveling horses and wearing protective leather armor were on guard.

Plus, in the front, there was a caravan leader riding a war horse, wearing a cotton robe and leather armor.

It was indeed a large caravan.

"Hmm." Shen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly. He recognized that this was the content of the Merchant MOD that he added when he merged the DLC and MOD of Mount and Blade.

This can be regarded as a compensation for the original content, where only the protagonist was running around doing business alone.

This large caravan consists of 30 large-capacity commercial vans.

If they encountered danger, they could immediately surround the carriages to form a barrier, let the cavalry enter the middle, and hire crossbowmen to stand on the carriages and shoot with hunting crossbows.

In this case, the only way is to encounter regular troops or rebel troops which are more common in war-torn areas.

Otherwise, ordinary robbers and bandits would not be able to capture this caravan.

After all, there are 100 mercenary sentinels armed with hunting crossbows and 40 light cavalry-type caravan guards.

They can also form a chariot array to form a defensive position, forcing the enemy into siege mode.

Take advantage of the defenders' geographical advantage by waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out.

Of course, it is simpler and easier to defend.

"The one following behind is Manide, right?" Shen Mu leaned over to look.

At this time, at the end of the caravan, there appeared a lonely middle-aged man riding a pack horse, wearing a white linen robe, holding a spear, with a hunting crossbow hanging on his back.

At this time, his hair seemed to have not been taken care of for a long time and looked a little messy.

And even from a long distance I could seem to see a pair of melancholy eyes.

"Okay, it's Manide." Shen Mu finally came to a conclusion.

In the world of Mount & Blade, Manid himself is a bankrupt businessman.

But unlike the robber Shen Mu encountered before, Manide did not engage in these criminal activities even after he went bankrupt.

Instead, he worked hard to promote his business acumen in various pubs and did odd jobs to make a living.

This is also the reason why, in the world of Mount and Blade, Manid is classified as a kind NPC general.

"It seems that I need to go down and greet them in person now."

Shen Mu did not continue to stay on the scaffolding at the top of the castle. He turned around and left the castle with the help of the two Swadian soldiers.

After passing through the castle gate and arriving at the east gate of the town area.

The caravan leader and Manid were already waiting there at this time.

As for their surroundings, there were Swadian light infantrymen and villagers, each holding a desert antelope in their arms, looking at them happily and curiously.

As for the Swadian soldiers stationed at the city gate, they were not doing any physical labor.

And Fatis who was the first to greet them.

"Lord Shen Mu."

Seeing Shen Mu coming, Fatis, who was chatting with Manide, immediately turned around and saluted Shen Mu respectfully.

Then he smiled, stretched out his hand and pulled Manide over, introducing him:

"Master Shen Mu, this is a businessman of high character whom I met when I was traveling in Calradia. His name is Manide. He knows how to do business and has his own bottom line. He is a very good person."

"Hello, Master Shen Mu."

Then Manide bowed respectfully, touching his chest and saluting to Shen Mu:
"I heard that you were short of business-oriented talents, so I came here, hoping to be able to help you with my business knowledge."

"He really knows how to do business." Fatis nodded affirmatively.

"Oh, Manid?" Even at this moment, Bandak, who had finished dealing with things in the west, came over and was surprised to see Manid bowing.

Walking over quickly, Bandak, who also arrived as an NPC from the good camp, was also impressed by this merchant with high moral character.

"Mr. Bandak, I didn't expect to see you here again." Manid was also very happy to see Bandak.

"Well, hello, Manide." Shen Mu nodded and accepted Manide's salute.

Looking at Manide, who indeed had a bit of sadness in his eyes, the talented general with a business-oriented personality curled his lips slightly and said, "I think now I have the candidates for the steward and mayor of my castle and town, and I think you can also serve as the treasurer."

"Ah?" Manide was slightly stunned.

"Why don't you thank Lord Shen Mu quickly?" Fatis next to him pushed his arm.

"Thank you for your recognition, Lord Shen Mu!" At this time, Manide immediately bent down again, put his hands on his chest, bowed deeply, his voice full of gratitude.

As a bankrupt businessman, especially a bankrupt businessman who came from a business family.

Bankruptcy due to business failure almost destroyed Manid's self-confidence.

In the eyes of others, Manid is just a guy who was once rich but is now bankrupt, and is not worth mentioning at all.

At most, I know that Manide has a good character.

After all, not everyone knows that Manide is actually a talented businessman who is predetermined by some rules in the world of Mount & Blade.

Including Manid himself.

Now, knowing that he has been relied upon so much by the legendary figure, Lord Shen Mu, who is praised throughout the continent of Calradia, how could Manide not be happy?

"Take Manid to my noble house, change his clothes, and let him rest."

Shen Mu said to Bandak next to him: "Next, there is a more important task waiting for him."

"I understand." Bandak left with Manide, who expressed his gratitude to Shen Mu several times.

Shen Mu really had high expectations for the arrival of Manide.

In the game, Manid is not a combat hero.

It is just a pendant responsible for business.

Normally he would ride a horse, hold a hunting crossbow or a short bow, and wear chain mail, and gain experience on the battlefield. He would not be responsible for commanding cavalry charges like Fatis.

Nor would he lead crossbowmen to snipe the enemy like Bandak did.

Just coming to visit.

Then, when the character controlled by the player buys or sells something, he can use Manide's eloquence and trading skills to lower the purchase price and sell the items at a high price.

Just make a profit from the price difference.

However, after coming to this world, Shen Mu still valued Manide's advantages as a non-combat general.

Bandak and Fatis need to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but Manid does not.

It's just right that some of the trivial matters of the castle and town can be handed over to him.

The equivalent of a ready-made castle steward and town mayor, as well as a treasurer who understands business and tax models.

Kill two birds with one stone.

"Okay, let's arrange it this way." Shen Mu nodded with satisfaction in his heart.

In a short time, Manide's job was secured.

Then he looked up and saw the caravan leader who was still standing next to him with an embarrassed look on his face. He didn't dare to interrupt, but found that Shen Mu was looking at him with a respectful expression.

"Hello, Lord Shen Mu. I wonder if you still remember asking someone to bring me 5000 dinars to form a caravan for you?"

The leader of the caravan took a half step forward and bowed respectfully.

And explain the reason for your coming:
"Now, I have successfully formed this caravan, which consists of 30 large commercial vans, 100 hired sentinels, and 50 caravan guards."

"Nice to meet you, Lord Shen Mu." Just as the caravan leader was explaining the situation, the mercenary sentinels and caravan guards came over behind him, lined up consciously, and respectfully saluted and greeted Shen Mu.

"Yes." Shen Mu raised his hand, indicating that he accepted their salute, and nodded and praised: "It's a very good caravan."

From the top of the castle, Shen Mu had already seen the professionalism of this caravan.

Understand that this caravan is not just a short-distance caravan.

But it’s a genuine, long-distance caravan!
However, just as Shen Mu was communicating with the leader of the caravan, the dialog box popped up again.

[Ding! You now have a large caravan of your own. You can now trade with the White Tower region in the Lord of the Rings world.]

[Ding! Saruman was very happy to hear the news, and prepared a special gift as a gift for the first meeting. He asked the caravan to give it to you when they return.]

[Ding! The Baita trade license has been issued. ]

Just as Shen Mu was looking at the contents in the dialog box, a special rule fluctuation emerged.

'Om! '

Shen Mu subconsciously stretched out his hand, as if he had grabbed something in the void.

Wait until you withdraw your arm.

But he found that there was a small, exquisitely made sheepskin scroll with a warm feel in his hand.

There were a few large words written in gold on the white sheepskin:

White Tower Trade License!
"Hmm." Shen Mu raised his eyebrows, and the content about this prop appeared in front of him again.

[Item name: White Tower Trade License]

[Item Description: This is a trade license from the White Tower region in Mount & Blade: The Lord of the Rings. As long as you have this license, you can travel freely in Middle-earth. Because the last signature on it is the name of the famous Maia, the Speaker of the White Council, and the widely respected white-robed wizard Mr. Saruman.]

[Item function: Go to the White Tower area in "Mount & Blade: The Lord of the Rings" to conduct business activities.]

[Hint: What Saruman needs is the corpse or living creature of the abyss demon, which is the main commodity he wants to trade.]

"Not bad." Shen Mu nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that this item is the key to trading with the White Tower.

"Master Shen Mu, we have a gift for you in our van."

At this time, the caravan leader Torres introduced himself again and said very respectfully: "Although it is just some bread, some apples and cabbage, and a small amount of honey, butter, dates and salt, it represents our thoughts after all."

As he spoke, Torres, the leader of the caravan, smiled awkwardly: "Besides... we don't have much dinar, so we can't give you too many gifts."

"These are already very good." Shen Mu glanced at the van that came in with them.

Just under the tarp were large amounts of bread, baskets of apples and cabbages, some pumpkins and carrots, onions, and large amounts of chickpeas and peas, etc.

Mostly vegetables.

It takes up space, is large in quantity, and looks full, but it is very consuming when eaten.

As for the honey, butter, dates, salt, and a little spices and condiments, there were some in the last van, but the quantity was pitifully small.

However, Shen Mu didn't care too much about it. After all, it was just a token of his thoughtfulness.

Besides, he even stated the reason.

After forming this large caravan, there were indeed not many dinars left with which to buy some valuable gifts for Shen Mu from the Kingdom of Swadia.

It would be better to buy some vegetables and bread, add a small amount of seasoning, and satisfy your appetite.

Just as Shen Mu said, at least he felt really good.

"Torres, next, unload all the food into the warehouse, and then someone will tell you what types of goods you need to sell this time."

Shen Mu made arrangements.

"Understood." Torres, the leader of the caravan, was extremely humble. "No matter what goods you sell, since you have appointed me as the leader of this caravan, I will definitely be responsible."

Just as he finished saying this, Shen Mu took him to the southwest corner of the town.

That area has no planning and is full of large vacant land.

Torres, who had always been a serious and formal businessman, was stunned on the spot. His lips trembled as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't speak at all.

Even that face, which was already in its forties and full of experience, showed astonishment.

"This is the product." Shen Mu said.

"..." Torres looked at the front of him. On that open space, there were at least thousands of strange-looking corpses of creatures, all with dark red skin, piled up as if they were almost as high as the city walls.

Finally, he pursed his lips and nodded helplessly: "Of course, Mr. Shen Mu, these products... are indeed possible."

Just a dead body.

It was in a tavern in the Kingdom of Swadia that I heard others talk about this legendary figure, Mr. Shen Mu, who fought against undead monsters and abyss monsters in another world.

What appeared before his eyes now was dark red, and it was clearly a demon like the one in the myth.

Of course, it is the corpse of the abyss demon, the product that Mr. Shen Mu mentioned this time.

"Also, this is for you." Shen Mu turned his head and looked at the many Swadian light infantrymen behind him who were helping to unload the trucks. The 30 vans were almost unloaded.

So he reached out and handed him the 'White Tower Trade License' he had just obtained.

"This is... a trade license." The eyes of caravan leader Torres lit up.

As a businessman, he knew that as long as such a thing existed, caravans would be able to travel freely in a certain area without having to worry about too many inspections.

Because in many cases, you have to deal with more than just robbers or bandits.

Certain interrogations and extortion from officials are also commonplace.

If they encountered a bad local lord, they would directly use the excuse that they did not have a trade license, and then they would gather their own army to rob and extort, or they would seize goods, which could be called robbery. In the Calradia continent, which was not a very large continent, the probability of encountering such things was too high.

Not to mention a private caravan.

Even the caravans of the six kingdoms themselves would be plundered by hostile countries, or their goods would be directly confiscated under the pretext of investigating smuggling on the pretext of lack of trade permits.

This is enough to show the importance of something like a trade license.

"Master Shen Mu, the goods here have been unloaded in the warehouse."

At this time, a Swadian light infantryman walked over quickly to report.

"Yes." Shen Mu nodded, looking at the vans that had already unloaded the goods, and pointed to the nearly two thousand corpses of the Abyss Demons next to them. He also carefully instructed: "Load all these corpses into the vans, try to load a few corpses of each demon, and try to load more of these goods."

"Understood!" The Swadian light infantry nodded, and then arranged for others to come over to help again and start loading the car.

However, the cargo this time has turned into a demon corpse that is so shocking just by looking at it.

Fortunately, these Swadian light infantrymen had seen blood, and some of the demon corpses were killed by themselves. Otherwise, just playing the role of these corpses with wounds all over and pungent smell would cause trauma in their hearts.

At least for the mercenary sentinels who were also responsible for carrying the things, their faces were pale and covered with cold sweat, and they looked a little frightened.

However, the loading speed is still very fast.

Not an hour.

The 30 large commercial vans of this large caravan were already filled with various demon corpses.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the bodies of the Babu demons, horned demons, snake demons, chain demons, and big cowardly demons have all been packed in.

The remaining bodies of the little demons, because of their dwarf-like size, were crowded into the corners.

It can be said that they are all put in.

So much so that when they were leaving, the four huge wooden wheels on the left and right of the vans could hardly be pulled by the pack horses alone, and they needed the hired sentries to push them forward before they could slowly move normally.

In fact, even so, the caravan guards nearby still needed to put a lasso on the travel horses under their crotch.

Otherwise, the heavy weight would be difficult to carry with just packhorses and hired sentries.

This is also an additional role for the mounted caravan guards.

"Please wait for my good news, Lord Shen Mu." Before parting, the caravan leader Torres saluted respectfully to Shen Mu, and then left with the large caravan.

Shen Mu also watched them walk out of the east city gate and their bodies gradually turned into shadows.

By the way, I glanced at the dialog box in front of me.

[Your large caravan has begun to go to 'Mount and Blade: The Lord of the Rings' for trade. ]

【This business activity will last for 30 days. 】

[After 30 days, you will return with corresponding benefits and some valuable items that the caravan leader thinks are valuable.]

"30 days?" Shen Mu, who returned to the castle hall, raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of sigh in his eyes.

These 30 days will be a month.

But when he thought about it, Nalot, the bankrupt businessman he sponsored and the robber who was now engaged in smuggling and black market trade, only came back once a month, so he felt relieved.

After all, reality is different from games.

The game can be played casually for several days.

In this reality, the way time flows is fixed, and it is impossible to cheat like in the game.

"That's it." Shen Mu pursed his lips slightly. There was no option to speed up the flow of time here.

This is the real world!
"It's getting dark." Shen Mu subconsciously turned his head and looked at the sky.

I have been busy since this morning.

The sun, which was originally hanging in the sky, gradually turned dim.

Shen Mu estimated the time in his mind, and suddenly some understanding emerged in his eyes: "It seems that it is already half past five, is it almost six o'clock?"

Six o'clock is a special time period on Blue Star.

At six o'clock in the evening, the Blue Star rules will completely fall into silence.

And the rules of the dead will become the mainstream.

Six o'clock in the morning.

The blue star rules appear and the undead rules retreat.

This is a long time.

This rule has never changed.

Shen Mu was quite familiar with it.

"Unfortunately, during these 30 days of trade, my Holy Light Torch Tower of the Holy White Council cannot be ignited and used."

This is why Shen Mu felt a little regretful.

After all, in this torch tower, lighting the firewood is not a very important thing.

The important thing is the magic scroll that should be placed on the pulpit.

Only by using the mana stored in the scroll and activating the power of the magic circle can the full power of this torch tower be truly activated.

Release power that can illuminate darkness, resist corruption, and weaken evil monsters.

"However, it would not be bad if there were undead rules." Shen Mu looked at the setting sun in the distance, then turned his head to look at the Wikia villagers.

Shen Mu touched his chin and thought: "Maybe it's time to level up with these Wikia villagers."

There is nothing in the town right now that ordinary villagers can use.

No farming required.

There is also no need for construction and repair work in the city.

Feeding livestock, cooking food, and serving Shen Mu are all tasks that the Swadian servants can do.

So the positioning of these villagers is really awkward overall.

It would be better to upgrade directly to the Wikia Kingdom's military forces and add some of the most prestigious archer troops of the Wikia Kingdom.

What's more, Shen Mu also has special props for designating 200 people to upgrade immediately.

If you upgrade to level one, you can directly upgrade to level two.

If you upgrade to level 2, you can use items to upgrade directly to level 3.

The third-level Vikia guerrilla archer is a ranged soldier equipped with a two-handed axe, a short bow, feather arrows, and a javelin.

It fully reflects the tough nature of the Vikians.

Use a short bow to shoot at enemies that are far away, and when they get close, pull out 4 short javelins and throw them at the enemy.

If you get too close, I'm sorry, because any Wikiaan will raise their two-handed axes, which are highly respected, and chop you down for hand-to-hand combat.

When it comes to mutual fighting, there are hardly any long-range shooters who can be a match for the Vikia guerrilla shooters!

Even the Nord Hunter of the Nord Kingdom, the only long-range shooter in the Nord Kingdom's army, had to show absolute respect in close combat when facing the third-level Vikia guerrilla shooter who was wielding a two-handed axe.

"It's a good opportunity to train so that we can deal with the troubles from the diesel company."

Shen Mu Ke has never forgotten the Diesel Company and its covetousness towards him!

'Om! '

Just as Shen Mu was thinking, the setting sun gradually fell below the horizon.

The last ray of sunlight disappeared.

then.

A darkness instantly enveloped the entire Blue Star world and descended in an instant!

"Light the bonfire!" In the town of Dehrim, the shouts from the captains of various soldiers rang out one after another.

Then, clusters of bonfires and lit torches appeared in the town.

The whole town is decorated as if it were a bonfire party.

"Now, is it the night in this strange world?" In the castle hall, Manid, who had changed into a soft velvet robe, walked over with a bit of surprise on his face.

Bandak and Fatis, now wearing the same velvet robes, came over together.

"Lord Shen Mu."

The three of them first bowed and greeted respectfully.

"Yeah." Shen Mu stretched out his hand, motioning them to stand up, and looked at Manide: "How do you feel about this night?"

"It was very dark, there were no stars or moon, it was very scary."

Manide said directly, with a serious look on his face: "I have heard about the scenes of this other world, but I never thought it would be so terrifying."

This is Manid's true words.

This was also because he was born in the continent of Calradia, and he had never seen such a terrifying scene with no stars or moon, only a pitch-black starry sky.

"There's nothing we can do. This is how the world is." Shen Mu didn't say much.

Look at the three people coming over.

He simply gave some instructions and arranged the work, saying, "Bandak and Fatis, you two will take turns on duty and be responsible for patrolling and sentry work at night. If you find anything unusual, wake me up."

"Understood." Bandak and Fatis immediately stood up straight and answered in a deep voice.

"Manide, you can rest at night, but remember to deal with all the antelopes you come back from hunting within the next few days." Shen Mu looked at Manide and arranged the tasks.

"I understand." Manide also nodded in response.

Now, he is basically the one who arranges all non-combat work in urban areas.

"Very good, that's it." Shen Mu stood up and had no intention of staying in the castle.

But before leaving, he seemed to have thought of something.

He arranged for the two men, “If there is a chance at night, help train those Vikia villagers and let them try to kill those undead monsters. Let them upgrade to the second-level Vikia light infantry as soon as possible.”

"We understand." Bandak and Fatis nodded solemnly again.

"Okay, that's it." Shen Mu turned around and left the castle.

The figure went straight back to the town area and lived in his own aristocratic mansion again.

Especially the bedroom on the second floor that belongs to him exclusively.

There is not only a toilet, but also a small living room and even a bathroom.

The most important thing is the huge and soft bed.

Compared to the narrow castle room, the low ceiling, the cold and damp bedding, the walls and furniture with a faint musty smell, and the hard and wet bed.

The quality of life in the aristocratic mansion made Shen Mu, who had just arrived here, make a choice directly.

Even Liu Na and those half-man were moved to the corner of the second floor, living in a room far away from Shen Mu's bedroom.

Of course, Bandak and Fatis, as well as Manid, also arranged bedrooms here.

But they are all next to Shen Mu's master bedroom.

Including the 10 Swadian knights, 10 Holy Tree Knights, and 20 Swadian sergeants, they were also arranged in bedrooms for rest in groups of five, and were arranged near them.

The purpose is that if anything really happens, they can act as Shen Mu's personal guards and deal with it first.

As for the first floor, 50 Swadian light infantrymen had already moved in as attendants.

But they lived in the servants' quarters.

Outside the noble mansion, there are 20 Lake Rat Gang vandals who live in dormitories built next to the wall and are responsible for the security and gatekeeping of the mansion.

Everything has been arranged in an orderly manner.

Shen Mu was very satisfied.

After returning to the noble mansion, he lay down on the big bed and fell into a deep sleep.

And just outside the door of the master bedroom, Swadian knights or Holy Tree knights took turns to help stand guard and protect Shen Mu's sleep.

Shen Mu also slept very soundly.

However, while Shen Mu was sleeping, the work he had arranged was being arranged by three people in full swing.

Manid began to arrange the idle Swadian light infantry to come and disembowel the desert antelopes. After digging out the easily rotten internal organs, they began to skin them and neatly separate the parts of the desert antelopes.

When Manid was in Calradia, he traveled to the Khergit Khanate with a caravan.

That's how the Kugits over there treat their sheep.

As long as you find a shady place, smoke it, and then air-dry it, you can turn any meat into jerky. If you store it carefully, it can be eaten for a long time without any problem.

Manide planned to turn all the antelope meat into dried meat.

On the city wall, Bandak was holding a heavy crossbow and leading the third-level skilled Rhodok crossbowmen to the city gate.

Fatis followed right beside.

Behind him, there were 100 people holding pitchforks and long sticks, all with confused and nervous faces. Some of them had guessed what was going to happen next and seemed eager to try.

"I'll leave the city walls to you." Bandak nodded to Fatis.

"I understand." Fatis nodded in response.

Then waved.

He said solemnly to the hired crossbowman at the town gate who was in charge of opening and closing the drawbridge: "Open the drawbridge!"

"Open the drawbridge!"

Suddenly, repeated voices were heard from the town gate.

The mercenary crossbowmen on the city gate began to turn the capstan one by one. As the iron chains and pulleys rattled, the drawbridge of the city gate was slowly lowered.

It was just stuck outside the 3-meter-wide trench.

"Next, follow me!"

At this time, Bandak was holding a heavy crossbow and walking out with 50 skilled Rhodok crossbowmen.

At the same time, there were 100 Swadian light infantrymen following him, holding old fan-shaped shields and holding their spears in their right hands, secretly protecting the crossbowmen by their side.

The last ones to appear were these 100 Wikia villagers.

They all walked outside excitedly, looking at the 300 acres of barren land on the east side, which they were relatively familiar with since they had been there during the day and picked all the remaining vegetables. There was no fear on their faces.

Instead, when he raised the torch with his left hand, his right hand clenched his pitchfork and stick even tighter.

I really want to find an opportunity, build a career, and reach the pinnacle of my life.

"Everyone, be careful." Bandak looked at the eager looks of the Vikia villagers and poured a bucket of cold water on them. He warned them seriously, "If you encounter any situation, remember to hide behind the Swadian light infantry. Don't charge without permission, and don't leave the formation without permission!"

"Understood!" The Wikia villagers shouted excitedly.

He didn't take the enemy he was about to encounter seriously at all.

In fact, it really doesn't need to be taken seriously.

After all, in this New Dhrim, many veterans have said that as long as you don't be afraid, you can easily get rid of those weak undead monsters.

Even if they are villagers, they can use the pitchforks and sticks in their hands to knock off the heads of those skeletons!

After hearing this, these Vikians, who were already tough by nature, could no longer hold back.

I just want to go forward and try it myself, knock off the heads of those skeletons, or trip those clumsy zombies to the ground, destroy their eye sockets with a pitchfork, and be a brave warrior myself!

"Alas." Bandak took a look and felt a little disgusted with these energetic and overly violent Vikians.

But there is nothing we can do.

The Rhodok people, whose personalities were as dull as stone, really could not understand the Vikians, whose personalities were like a blizzard, surging forward.

Different living environments lead to different personalities.

"It's enough to serve Lord Shen Mu." Bandak pursed his lips, raised his heavy crossbow, turned his head and gave a few instructions to the soldiers around him, and the battle formation began to form.

The skilled Rhodok crossbowmen were in the front, and the Swadian light infantry formed a spear phalanx in the back.

The last Wikia villager holds a torch.

The standard enemy-facing formation.

It just happened to be the perfect formation for these third-level soldiers and zero-level villagers to gain upgrade experience points after killing undead creatures.
