A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

On top of an ordinary-looking residential building, perfectly situated in an open area, a red "GG" banner was thrown directly from the roof.

It read, "Longsheng Garden Community, Second-hand School District Housing, Special Offer - 20% Off, Inquiries Welcome."

Remember the first website domain name 𝕥 𝕨 𝕜 𝕒 𝕟 . 𝕔 𝕠 𝕞

Of course, there was also the real estate agency's inquiry hotline number.

It looked very ordinary.

Even the drooping "GG" banner looked as if it had been casually thrown down by someone unknown, and unless one looked carefully in this direction, it wouldn't attract anyone's attention at all.

But it was precisely this small detail that Shen Mu and Zhang Caidong exploited.

At the base of the residential building, Shen Mu was sitting quietly on the steps, waiting.

All around, Holy Tree Knights and Swadian Knights, armed with long spears, were stationed at key points, vigilantly watching their surroundings.

At the slightest sign of trouble, they would immediately assume a battle stance.

After all, this was the edge of the Diesel Company's sphere of influence.

Everything had to be done with caution.

After throwing down the banner, Fatis returned from the roof to the ground floor.

As for Shen Mu, he didn't even go up the stairs.

The reason was simple.

He was afraid of being trapped in the residential building, forced to defend the top-floor terrace, a predicament where he couldn't advance or retreat.

At least here at the residential building, if enemies were to come, the knights would quickly spot them.

Then they could just ride away on their warhorses.

Based on the clumsy appearance of those pig-headed men, or the two legs of other spirit realm creatures.

Trying to catch up with them on warhorses.

That was simply a fantasy.

"Someone's coming!"

Just as Shen Mu and the others were waiting quietly, about 20 minutes later, four or five figures appeared on the community road outside the residential building.

All of them were Blue Star humans.

No spirit realm creature followers were behind them.

It looked as if they had some special little secret that required them to come together for a secret gathering.

This was very common in this era of the descent of the undead rules.

After all, who doesn't have a little secret, or a safe house to store personal supplies?

For these Blue Star humans who followed Zhang Caidong and were already captains of the various temporary convoys, they could now freely enter and exit the city gates, without much restriction, as long as they returned before dark.

"They are some of the people from our initial group of captives." After identification, Fatis recognized these Blue Star humans as some of the original 16 captives.

He also looked at the position behind them as they came, and there were no unusual circumstances.

He nodded and said, "Let them come over."

Immediately, a Swadian heavy cavalry knight nodded, turned out from behind the originally hidden corner, and came to the four or five Blue Star humans.

He beckoned to them and said in a deep voice, "Over here, come on."

The four or five Blue Star humans had solemn expressions, looked at the position behind them, confirmed that no one was following, and then quickly walked over.

"Why did you suddenly use the signal?" one of the Blue Star humans asked.

But before he could finish speaking.

His eyes widened slightly.

Because as he turned the corner, looking at the hundreds of heavily armed human heavy cavalry soldiers, his eyes narrowed with tension.

Especially when he saw Shen Mu sitting in the middle, with his iconic armor with golden纹路, extremely recognizable.

He quickly walked over and bowed respectfully, "Lord Shen Mu."

Although this human lord was also a Blue Star human.

He was clearly in a high position of power.

Looking at the well-equipped heavy cavalry soldiers around him, armed to the teeth.

As well as the towns and castles he had seen before, and the thousands of infantry, crossbowmen, and so on.

They understood that this human compatriot who had appeared before them was no longer on the same level as them, and they had to treat him as seriously as they would treat the Diesel Company's General Manager Xue Zhigang.

"Mm." Shen Mu raised his head and looked calmly at the five Blue Star humans in front of him.

He gestured for them to stand up straight again.

Then he directly asked, "Where's Zhang Caidong? Why didn't he come?"

"Zhang Caidong is now the Deputy Minister of Transportation, and he is selecting a group of temporary workers, planning to sign contracts and make them his subordinates."

The Blue Star human in the front told the truth: "All 15 of us have been promoted to captains and deputy captains, and each person has four or five people under their command, plus each person has more than 10 spirit realm followers, so we can be considered to have temporarily taken control of a force of about 1,000 people."

"Yes, Zhang Caidong can't be too high-profile now, so he sent us over to communicate with Lord Shen Mu." Another Blue Star human nodded in explanation.

"Is that so?" Shen Mu frowned slightly.

"We don't mean to betray you, Lord Shen Mu." When these Blue Star humans saw Shen Mu's frown, they obviously understood that this was Shen Mu's dissatisfied expression.

So they quickly explained: "After all, you control our life and death, and we dare not disobey your wishes, and as long as you make arrangements, we will do it immediately, including Zhang Caidong, we have already betrayed the Diesel Company, and we dare not continue to betray you."

These words were extremely humble.

Almost fearful.

In fact, it was indeed as they said.

They had already betrayed the Diesel Company, and if they betrayed Shen Mu again.

As long as they revealed the key information about their betrayal in that battle.

In the end, none of them would survive!

Because what they betrayed was not the Diesel Company, but those formal employees, this group of vested interests that had formed even before the descent of the undead rules.

Moreover, they were extremely xenophobic and simply looked down on these temporary workers.

Even if they were promoted to a full-time position, they would not be able to integrate into the core circle of these true formal employees.

Therefore, these guys who came from temporary work backgrounds did not dare to betray Shen Mu casually again.

"Mm, I understand."

Although Shen Mu said this, he was not interested in this topic.

Because his troops were already on the way.

They would arrive here in about 20 minutes.

At the latest, in another 60 minutes, he would directly lead his troops to launch a surprise attack, directly attack the Diesel Company's headquarters, and directly kill through this half-orc tribe.

Therefore, understanding the current map of the Diesel Company, the internal routes, and the various nodes.

As well as where the Diesel Company's chieftain's tent was.

These were the most important things!

"Speak."

So Shen Mu directly asked, and asked Fatis next to him to take out paper and pen and hand them to these Blue Star humans.

"We understand." These Blue Star humans immediately understood Shen Mu's meaning.

They picked up the paper and pen and quickly drew the internal map of the Diesel Company.

They highlighted which blockhouse was for which department.

Which blockhouse had garrison troops.

Where under the blockhouse were tents and shacks where ordinary people lived.

Where the passages could be quickly interspersed, directly reaching the destination in the shortest amount of time.

Extremely detailed.

It could be said that they didn't hide anything.

"Lord, this is the internal map of the Diesel Company, this, this, this, these are the places to pay attention to."

These Blue Star humans also pointed out the map to Shen Mu and Fatis in detail: "This is the destroyed east gate, it hasn't been repaired yet, it's just propped up with wood behind it, barely able to block those low-level undead monsters at night."

"That's right, if Lord Shen Mu, your troops are going to attack, then it's best to attack from here."

Another Blue Star human also said: "Moreover, our people are guarding here, and when the time comes, as long as we give a signal, we can remove all the wood behind the city gate and open the city gate, allowing Lord Shen Mu's troops to directly attack in!"

Now they all understood that Shen Mu, this human lord, planned to start attacking the Diesel Company's half-orc tribe, to have a decisive battle.

As temporary workers who had always been oppressed, always treated as inferior, like servants.

These Blue Star humans actually had some happy thoughts in their hearts.

If the Diesel Company was defeated.

In that case, these meritorious officials among the human lords would definitely receive credit and rewards.

They could then rest on their laurels, living off their past achievements.

Perhaps...

They could become official employees of the next new power, never having to live in fear like they do now!

Thus, these five Blue Star humans, with no way to turn back, hardened their hearts and decided to go all the way.

Maybe it wouldn't be a dark path, but a bright future.

So, on the spot, they pointed to the simple map they had drawn and explained it in more detail.

"Lord Shen Mu, after capturing the city gate, go straight ahead. The chieftain's tent of the Diesel Company is on the central platform, where Xue Zhigang is."

"After we return, we will spread rumors that the official employees plan to eliminate us, provoking conflict between the temporary workers and the official employees. We will also tell the old official employees that the temporary workers are planning a riot."

"This way, I will lead people under the guise of cleaning and clearing road debris, first having the temporary workers seize the key points of each road."

"When your troops, Lord Shen Mu, charge in, go directly to kill Xue Zhigang. We will hold back the spirit realm troops of those old official employees. Although we can't hold them for too long, it will be enough to hinder their rescue efforts."

"The only concern is that there are many pig-headed elite leaders, over 2 meters tall, next to Xue Zhigang's chieftain tent, who are quite powerful."

"That's right, if we go there, we must eliminate them. There are about 500 of them!"

These Blue Star humans explained in detail.

Beside them,

Fatis was even using the pencil and notebook in his hand to quickly record the relevant content.

Frowning slightly.

He looked at what these Blue Star humans were saying, his face showing a bit of solemnity.

It was thanks to these Blue Star humans, whom he had sent back as internal informants, that he had detailed information about the internal workings of the Diesel Company.

Looking at the dense arrangement of more than a dozen platforms, the rammed earth walls surrounding the platforms, the roads below, the slopes built on the platforms, and even the caves inside the platforms used for living, Fatis, who was accustomed to town life, felt the environment was too complex.

Moreover, the living habits of these demi-humans from another world were completely different from those of the humans.

As a result, he couldn't apply his experience of living and fighting on the Calradia continent to the demi-human tribe's construction.

However, the only thing that comforted Fatis was the straight road marked on it.

He asked in a deep voice:

"As long as we charge along this road, we can directly reach the central platform of the Diesel Company, and then charge up to see that demi-human lord, right?"

"That's right!" These Blue Star humans nodded affirmatively, their eyes now with a hint of fanaticism: "Kill him, and you can completely remove the anchor points of those pig-headed elite leaders. Then the Blue Star rules will expel all these pig-headed elite leaders from the Blue Star world!"

There was also an unspoken sentence.

That is, they, these meritorious officials who helped the human lord kill the demi-human lord, could enjoy the life they had dreamed of in the Blue Star world!

It was foreseeable.

If this plan really succeeded.

Then Shen Mu, this new human lord, would incorporate the Blue Star humans and remaining forces of the entire demi-human tribe.

At that time, tens of thousands of Blue Star humans, most of whom are ordinary people, would need more high-level, that is, middle or high-level Blue Star humans, to manage them, right?

Then they, these earliest adherents, would definitely be the designated managers.

Directly changing from the lowest level to the elite.

This huge change in status.

Made these guys, who were originally a little apprehensive about being internal informants and spies, now become more and more excited about the upcoming raid in their hearts.

"Very good, very good." Shen Mu saw the excited look on the faces of these five Blue Star humans at this time, and understood what they were thinking.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, he was also quite good at writing empty checks: "Everyone, as long as you can assist me in successfully defeating the Diesel Company, then my new human territory lacks many department heads. I think if you can be competent, then it's entirely up to you to decide who has the ability to be a department head, and I will never interfere."

"This!" These five Blue Star humans now had looks of shock on their faces.

"This is absolutely true." Shen Mu looked at them, slowly stood up, patted them on the shoulders: "I lack help very much, and you, my friends who joined me first, as long as you can help me win this battle, whether it is to establish any department, or the captain and deputy captain of each team, I swear, it's all yours."

"Respected Lord Shen Mu, joining you is the most glorious decision of our lives." These Blue Star humans immediately lowered their heads, their whole bodies trembling with excitement.

The words had already been said to this point, and they couldn't care whether this was just a pie in the sky.

They nodded in response.

After all, they also understood that Shen Mu, this human lord, was high above, and the entire human territory was completely anchored to this Blue Star world by the lord's mark he himself had obtained.

Others could not easily take it away.

Therefore, he was born to occupy an absolute commanding position and could directly control the entire human territory.

Then below, there were indeed no Blue Star humans to help him.

He did need some trusted Blue Star humans to help him manage the entire territory, help him arrange the ordinary people's work check-ins and prayers to provide spiritual power.

Before, these Blue Star humans had learned that the entire huge human castle and town.

Did not see Blue Star humans and the Blue Star human management around Shen Mu.

Plus, before, I heard that Shen Mu was just an ordinary person with good luck.

There were no friends around.

How could they not guess that this lucky young man directly obtained a spirit realm territory with a large amount of faith value, and recruited many spirit realm human followers in a short period of time.

But there were no Blue Star humans to help him.

Nor were there enough faith values to allow him to maintain the operation of the entire spirit realm human territory.

He could only confront the Diesel Company head-on.

If they, these people, betrayed and became the first Blue Star humans that Shen Mu, this human lord, contacted, and also the first to join him.

Then the management position, wouldn't it be that they themselves would elect them and recommend them to Shen Mu.

Then would they be directly appointed without hesitation?

"Lord Shen Mu, we will go back to arrange it now. If possible, please wait about an hour."

These Blue Star humans briefly exchanged glances, and then said to Shen Mu: "At that time, we will have people wave a gray flag made of rags on the city gate. That will be the time for you to launch a general attack!"

"That's right, Lord Shen Mu, at that time, we will also provoke conflicts within the demi-human tribe, creating chaos, and we will also convey false information, so that the main force composed of those official employees will not be able to figure out what is going on!"

"In this process, as long as you can kill that Xue Zhigang in the shortest amount of time, we will win!"

Thinking of this, the faces of these Blue Star humans turned red with excitement.

"Yes, proceed according to this plan." Shen Mu nodded.

"Then we will go prepare first!" These five Blue Star humans respectfully saluted, then turned around and returned to the demi-human tribe, and according to what they said, began to contact the previous internal informants and began to act.

During this process, Bandak and Ai Lei'en, as well as James, led the infantry troops, and had already arrived here.

2790 soldiers, all of them were present at this time.

The number was extremely large.

The entire residential area of the residential building was already crowded.

But even with so many people here, they were all silent, no one said a word, all of them kept their mouths shut, only the sound of breathing from their nostrils.

Making the entire residential area of the residential building seem to have a special sense of solemnity.

This is the basic tactical literacy of the soldiers on the Calradia continent, who have been through many battles.

They understand.

Now is the time to take advantage of the enemy's lack of awareness and sneak into the edge of the enemy's territory.

Then quietly observe the enemy.

Take this opportunity to rest, recover strength, and wait for the next, certainly more intense, battle.

Shen Mu turned his head and looked at the soldiers quietly lurking on the edge of the residential area's greenery and residential buildings, and his face showed a bit of admiration.

Before, in the town, he hadn't noticed anything.

Now that he has left the town.

In a field battle, they actually have such discipline, which really exceeded his expectations.

"Lord Shen Mu."

At this moment, Bunduk, Alayen, James, and the 20 Edenjard zealots all walked over quickly.

Respectfully saluting Shen Mu.

However, compared to the loud voices when saluting in Dhirim.

Now their voices are lowered, trying to keep their voices from being too loud, so as not to destroy the quiet environment.

"Yes."

Shen Mu raised his hand as a response, and at the same time ordered: "Everyone rests for 60 minutes. During this process, let the soldiers eat a little something to replenish their strength, but be careful not to drink too much water or eat too much food."

"Understood, Lord Shen Mu, I will tell them about your arrangements later."

Bunduk nodded and said: "This time, we brought some pre-shredded black bread and sausage, everyone has a whole onion, and three people share a pot of water. They won't eat too much, just enough to fill their stomachs and maintain their strength."

"Very good."

This is why Shen Mu treats Bunduk differently.

Experienced officers can often make proper arrangements based on their rich experience without having to say much.

"Fatis."

Shen Mu then instructed Fatis: "Take out the map, explain the situation to Bunduk and Alayen, and discuss the next tactical deployment to ensure that we can break into the Orc Lord's bastion in the shortest possible time and kill him from the tent under the protection of the Pig-Headed Elite Head."

"Understood."

Fatis took out his notebook and began to quickly explain to Bunduk and Alayen.

These were the contents he had carefully recorded just now.

Bunduk and Alayen also took out their notebooks and quickly recorded Fatis's notes.

"There are a total of six bastions on the left and right, namely the Personnel Department, Sales Department, Transportation Department, Quality Inspection Department, Formal Employee Dormitory, and Temporary Worker Dormitory."

"At the end, the one in the middle is the bastion where the Chieftain's Great Tent is located."

"And behind that are a group of ordinary people living in apartment buildings and residential buildings that have not yet been demolished. They used to be the old dormitories of the Diesel Company, just used to provide those ordinary people who go to work for prayer, and there is no threat."

"So the most important thing for us is how to break through the six bastions and directly attack the Chieftain's Bastion in the middle."

Fatis said in a deep voice at this time, according to the content recorded in the notebook, to Bunduk and Alayen: "When attacking, our internal support will help us, so what we have to consider is how to rush to the Chieftain's Bastion and kill the Orc Lord."

"Yes, we should indeed think of a way."

Bunduk and Alayen looked at Fatis's fingers on the notebook.

The goal is the Chieftain's Bastion.

"At this time, we need to rely on infantry as the main force."

Alayen stroked his chin and said: "But fortunately, we have elite Swadian sergeants, and we also have elite Lake Rat Gang destroyers. Even if the casualties are heavy, it will be fine as long as we can achieve the tactical goal in advance."

This is the habitual tactical arrangement of the Vaegirs.

Born in the ice and snow, their basic tactics are straightforward.

Just rush up and it's over.

This is also why they like two-handed battle axes and bows and arrows so much.

After shooting the arrow rain, it is a wave of charge.

Simple and rude.

And effective!

Therefore, at this extremely critical moment when the brave wins in a narrow encounter, Bunduk and Fatis looked at each other.

Then they both saw the affirmation in each other's eyes.

"Then that's it."

The two nodded.

"Huh?"

This surprised Alayen a little: "You really agree with the tactical arrangements I made?"

"Simple and effective."

Bunduk nodded: "It is indeed possible, I agree."

"I also agree."

Fatis also nodded.

They have already attacked the town.

Any tactics are useless.

Siege warfare relies on filling it with human lives, seeing who has a high degree of organization, who has good discipline, who has sufficient morale, and who has high courage.

Just one word.

Charge!

If you can win by charging, then it means victory.

Moreover, he is still a surprise attack, and in a short period of time, he can form a situation of more hitting less, and using a strong organization to hit unpreparedness.

Including the fact that there are internal agents inside the Diesel Company deliberately creating riots.

If you can't win by charging with this.

Then don't say that you are a general honed from the battlefield of the Calradia continent.

It's just that while his generals were still discussing, Shen Mu sat on the steps and was still looking at the dialog box in front of him.

About the temporary task.

【Task Release: Final Battle.】

【Task Introduction: After the conflict between you and the Diesel Company is irreconcilable, whether it is the sphere of influence or the Spiritual Realm imprint, or the believers composed of Blue Star humans, are all key resources for you to compete for.

Especially when you realize that the Diesel Company is actively preparing for war, and is still using the power of the Spiritual Realm Lord to summon more Spiritual Realm heritage from the astral world to accumulate the power for the next attack on him, you know that you can't continue to wait any longer, so you plan to take the initiative to attack!】

【Task Stage Requirement ①: Attack the City Gate! (Phased/Each stage will receive a reward)】

【Task Stage Reward ①: Legion-level Natural Care Scroll (3000 people). Effect: Made by high-level elven mages from the Kingdom of Avalon, it contains the power of love from nature and holy light. After use, it continuously and slowly restores injuries/stamina/and keeps you calm for 30 minutes.】

【Task stage is in progress, the reward will be different according to the stage of the offensive you resist.】

"Attack the city gate."

Shen Mu felt that there was no difficulty in his heart when he looked at the content on the dialog box at this time.

After all, the city gate had already been destroyed by him in advance.

The key is, after attacking the city gate.

This is the most important thing.

"There is a legion-level Natural Care Scroll, which can provide a legion of 3,000 people with the effect of slowly recovering injuries, restoring stamina, and keeping the mind calm."

Shen Mu pursed his lips slightly.

Judging from the effect, it is really good.

"If paired with the tactics proposed by Alayen, perhaps it can really break through the Diesel Company's defense in one wave."

Shen Mu also had some confidence in his heart.

Now that the general attack and the final battle are about to begin, and it was a final battle initiated by him against all opinions.

He felt a little uneasy.

The reason is very simple.

"I just don't know what the Orc Chieftain Xue Zhigang of the Diesel Company summoned from the astral world."

Shen Mu frowned slightly, his face a little dignified.

After all, why did he launch such a sudden final battle? The reason was that he saw those gray light spots falling into the Diesel Company from New Rivacheg.

But looking at the Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers who were still squatting in the corner, eating and silent.

Shen Mu clenched his fists, his mood calmed down: "No matter what it is, I don't believe that the nearly 3,000 Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers I brought this time, half of whom are elite soldiers above Tier 3, can't handle it!"
