A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

#168 - The Contract of the Spirit World

Zhang Caidong was completely unaware of the plans of Green Leaf Group and Zhang Bo.

Nor did he have the right to know.

After all, he was no longer within the sphere of influence of Green Leaf Group, merely a pawn of Zhang Bo's, a casually placed piece.

However, this casual piece had successfully developed into a significant force that could not be underestimated or ignored, and had even gained the privilege of managing all Blue Star humans in this new territory of the human race.

In other words, Zhang Caidong's power was actually enormous.

No Spirit Realm lord would dare to casually grant such great power to a Blue Star human whom they didn't even know before, and who was even an enemy.

But in fact, Shen Mu, as the new lord of this human territory, not only granted this power to Zhang Caidong, but did so with such generosity.

Moreover, he unconditionally trusted him, practically handing over all management authority of the Spirit Realm commanders, who were Blue Star humans transformed through Spirit Realm inheritance, to Zhang Caidong.

It could be said that he had given Zhang Caidong both the power to manage personnel and the power to mobilize the military, completely making him a powerful force separate from Shen Mu, the Spirit Realm lord.

And it had already formed a monopolistic power.

At least for those Blue Star humans, obeying Zhang Caidong's arrangements meant obeying the arrangements of Shen Mu, the new lord of the human race.

In a sense, Zhang Caidong was Shen Mu's proxy.

However, Zhang Caidong was doing a pretty good job as this proxy.

At this time, he had set up his office at the junction of Deherim's castle area and town area.

Behind him was the towering rock face, and the castle area built on the rock face.

Including the stone walls of the castle area, the arrow towers, and the soldiers patrolling and standing guard on the walls, holding bows, crossbows, and spears.

All of this gave Zhang Caidong a sense of intimidation, like a fox borrowing the tiger's might.

It looked as if he was relying on Shen Mu's Rhodok Castle to suppress those Blue Star humans in the town area who had been selected as trustworthy and allowed to settle in.

And Zhang Caidong was now quite enjoying this respect in status.

After all, for him, Shen Mu's trust did indeed allow him to enjoy himself in this human town named Deherim.

Many Blue Star humans were flattering him, surrounding him, and fawning over him.

If this wasn't enjoyment, then nothing was.

The only thing that Zhang Caidong felt regretful about was that he hadn't obtained too many Spirit Realm imprint fragments.

Of course, this was also related to the fact that he had just joined this new human territory called Deherim.

He also understood that he had only been here for two days and hadn't fully gained Shen Mu's trust yet, although Shen Mu had promised to give them a certain amount of Spirit Realm imprint fragments as a reward when they were spies.

But now was not the time to ask for them.

After all, he was now working under Shen Mu, and had been trusted and entrusted with important tasks.

Including the 17 friends who had been spies with him, who had now become high-level backbones among the Blue Star humans.

Each of them had gathered a group of relatives and friends, forming a group of middle-level backbones under them, so that they could manage the nearly 20,000 to nearly 30,000 Blue Star humans gathered here.

It could be said that it was relying on these sixteen or seventeen people, plus the relatives and friends under them, that a large number of high-level and middle-level managers were formed, and then these Blue Star humans could be managed.

The flattery and fawning they received every day were countless, and they could even eat their fill of Spirit Realm food.

That's right, these high-level managers had three meals a day of Spirit Realm food.

Although it was just some black bread, and wheat porridge with minced meat and chopped vegetables thrown in and stewed into a salty meat stew.

They were quite aware of how precious these Spirit Realm foods were.

Just by eating them for these two or three days, they felt warm all over and had inexhaustible strength.

Compared to the Blue Star world's local food they used to eat, which made them hungry quickly and often felt a chill all over their bodies, it was simply incomparable.

Because they had obtained the protection of the rules at the level of their physical bodies.

This was not to say that they were protected by living in Deherim, the human territory under the protection of the rules, but because they had used Spirit Realm food, they had obtained the protection of the rules directly acting on their physical bodies, and it could also protect their spirits.

As long as they regularly ate this Spirit Realm food, it could nourish their souls.

And even if they didn't have souls now, it could make their will more firm and able to resist the corrosion of the undead rules in the darkness.

And because they had begun to resonate with the contracted Spirit Realm creatures, regularly using these Spirit Realm foods could also help them resonate better and faster, making their souls more solid.

It could be said that it was all beneficial and without harm.

The only bad thing was that the Spirit Realm food was indeed too rough, compared to the scientific and systematized diet of the Blue Star world, it was really too rough to swallow.

But even eating these sour black breads and this rather strange-tasting, only salty minced meat and chopped vegetable porridge.

For Zhang Caidong and these high-level managers, it was also a privilege.

After all, only those ordinary Blue Star humans would eat those coming foods, like now this Blue Star world will be other worlds to destroy and replace the situation also eat Blue Star food, that is equal to lower than others, there is no future.

So eating Spirit Realm food was the real privileged class.

"It's really comfortable."

At this time, Zhang Caidong also finished eating his portion of minced meat and chopped vegetable porridge from the wooden bowl, and then stuffed the last bit of black bread into his mouth, chewing and swallowing it in large mouthfuls.

Looking at the middle-level managers next to him who had good relationships with him, also eating these minced meat and chopped vegetable porridge in large mouthfuls, looking quite satisfied.

A smile also appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I said, you guys, as long as you follow your Brother Zhang, you will definitely get your benefits."

Zhang Caidong leaned comfortably on the back of his chair at this time, putting his feet on the table in front of him, lying here quite comfortably.

He also said with a rather smug tone: "These Spirit Realm foods, even the people in the Diesel Company's office in those days couldn't eat them.

Now that you have followed me, you can eat these Spirit Realm foods three meals a day, but you can't forget your roots."

There was also a hint of warning in these words.

And the seven or eight middle-level managers in front of him also nodded quickly, very respectfully flattering Zhang Caidong, saying: "Of course, Brother Zhang, it was you who brought us into the door of this Deherim, we can't forget you even if we forget anyone else."

"Hmm."

Zhang Caidong was also quite satisfied with these middle-level managers under him.

However, he had his reasons for saying this.

Especially looking at these guys, each of them looked quite respectful on the surface, but secretly they had privately arranged many drinking parties.

And they hadn't called him.

This made Zhang Caidong quite dissatisfied.

And just today at noon, they had also arranged a drinking party in the mobile apartment outside Deherim, although it was just some Blue Star food, there was no Spirit Realm food, but it also represented that they had actually formed a group themselves.

This was not a good sign.

"You guys seem to be getting very close recently, and you don't call me for anything.

If I hadn't said it directly, I would have thought you had forgotten about me, your big brother."

Zhang Caidong said this.

And he directly made things clear.

"Brother Zhang, so that's what it is."

At this time, the original few middle-level managers were still uneasy, wondering when they had offended this Zhang Caidong, that he had said such words.

But after hearing this, they all immediately showed smiles.

They quickly began to explain: "Brother Zhang, isn't it because we know you're busy?

We had a little conflict behind the scenes before, a few of the younger brothers didn't quite accept each other, and they made a fuss to compete for the quota to enter Deherim.

When we saw that there was no way, we went over to reconcile with each other, and we also invited Zhang Bo to come over, as a mediation."

"Zhang Bo."

Zhang Caidong raised his eyebrows slightly at this time, and was a little surprised to hear these words: "How could anything bring Zhang Bo over?"

Everyone knew the relationship between Zhang Bo and him, although most people didn't know that they were both from the same surname and clan in Laocheng Zhongcun.

But now that Zhang Bo and his relationship were so close.

It was basically assumed that Zhang Bo and this Zhang Caidong were as close as sworn brothers, and everyone looked at Zhang Bo with different eyes.

There was no way, looking at Zhang Caidong now wielding great power in Deherim, deeply trusted by Shen Mu.

Zhang Bo himself was also a prophecy-type mage.

With a great future.

Neither of them could be offended.

The relationship between the two of them added together, they could basically be considered red people in front of Shen Mu, that new lord of the human race.

Who would dare to offend them randomly?

Therefore, they were also quite obedient to Zhang Caidong.

At this time, since they had just asked, they also explained in detail why the conflict occurred, and also explained why they invited Zhang Bo over.

Inviting Zhang Bo over was to save Zhang Caidong's face, as a mediation of this matter.

After all, those two young people were their own people, and they were both children of brothers they had cultivated before.

Don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face.

Of course, they had to take good care of them.

Otherwise, their underlings would think that these high-level managers were incompetent and unable to get their own children into Deherim first, which would be terrible.

After all, it's a matter of prestige.

So, Zhang Bo was sent to use Zhang Cai Dong's name to arrange for their two young people to enter Deherim.

This not only appeased the two young people who were going over, but also appeased the small groups under his command who were eager to move.

After all, they had just joined this new human territory, and there were many positions of power that they could take over. If they could go one step further, it would obviously be good for their future development.

Everyone wants power.

Especially this group of people who had just emerged from the collapse and disintegration of the Orc tribe of the Diesel Company, those temporary workers who originally had no power.

At that time, they had seen the various benefits, treatments, and rights of those formal employees.

They were already quite envious, jealous, and hateful in their hearts.

Now that they had this opportunity to be like those formal employees, they simply couldn't help themselves.

So, they were all eager to move.

Of course, at this time, Zhang Cai Dong also understood the thoughts of those temporary workers who used to follow him.

After all, there was no way around it. He was also a temporary worker at the time and yearned for the treatment of those formal employees.

Now that he had control of the power and had directly become the second person under Shen Mu, the sense of expansion that this power brought him was unparalleled.

Therefore, regarding these people, Zhang Cai Dong did not express too much approval or disapproval of Zhang Bo using his name to appease those young people and those small groups.

Instead, he showed a smile and nodded, saying, "You guys just honestly follow me and work hard, and strive to become formal employees in the future. I dare not say more, but you will definitely enjoy the treatment of formal employees."

"Of course, Brother Zhang, you are now a favorite in front of Lord Shen Mu. We all hope that you will take care of us more."

"Yes, yes, Brother Cai Dong, we were all the first batch of temporary workers to follow you. We went through difficulties together back then. If we don't support you, then there will definitely be no one else."

"We saw true feelings in adversity, Brother Cai Dong. We will all follow you closely in the future, enjoy our future life, and there is absolutely no second word about it."

These middle-level managers immediately began to express their loyalty.

This was also a good time to express loyalty.

"Well, let's leave it at that."

Zhang Cai Dong was also very proud at this time.

Thinking of what Shen Mu had told him before he left, to select some Blue Star humans to join Deherim as soon as possible, so that they could quickly believe in Shen Mu, the new human lord, and provide him with a constant stream of spiritual energy, a smile appeared on his face.

So, he instructed, "I understand what you mean, but I don't care about anything else. No matter what conflicts or conflicts you have with other people, there is one thing I want to declare, you must quickly arrange for all the Blue Star humans to start praying to Lord Shen Mu, so that their spiritual energy can be used to store energy in Lord Shen Mu's energy core as soon as possible."

"Understood, we have already successfully organized those male humans into teams."

These middle-level managers did not dare to joke again. When they heard Zhang Cai Dong talking about serious matters, they immediately began to answer respectfully.

They clearly reported everything about how they had turned those Blue Star humans into small teams of 50 people each in the past two days.

This would not only make it easier for them to recruit their own people and form their own small groups.

It would also allow their own people to join the prayer queue of Deherim faster and more conveniently, so as to enjoy the care and treatment of Deherim.

After all, those Blue Star humans who came to Deherim to pray could receive 30% of the spirit realm food for each meal to replenish their spiritual loss.

If it was their own people who they had selected, they could directly increase it to 50% of the spirit realm food to replenish their spiritual loss.

Don't look down on these 30% or 50% of the spirit realm food, which seems to be quite small.

But as long as you eat a bite of the spirit realm food, it is enough to make up for the loss of spirit and physical strength, and can form a part of the rules of replenishment. For these Blue Star humans who have become quite weak under the scouring of the undead rules, it is an excellent tonic.

The effect is quite sufficient.

This is a good thing.

"Well, you have done a very good job. Just do it this way." Zhang Cai Dong nodded after listening to their report, quite satisfied.

Then, he waved his hand and signaled these middle-level managers who had finished eating and listened to his reprimands to go about their business.

The real work still needed him to urge those of his own people below to complete.

But the real credit definitely belonged to him, Zhang Cai Dong.

After all, this was the work that Shen Mu had arranged for him.

Then, Zhang Cai Dong easily mobilized all the Blue Star humans and formed a management team of high, middle, and low levels.

He perfectly incorporated these Blue Star humans into the management system of Deherim.

"When Shen Mu comes back, perhaps he will see that I have already arranged for my subordinates to complete the dispatch and start providing a constant stream of spiritual energy from these Blue Star humans."

Zhang Cai Dong felt that Shen Mu would be surprised.

After all, this time he quite recognized this new human territory, so he put in all his efforts to help build the command system of the Blue Star humans under this new human territory.

And this kind of credit is a solid recognition for any spirit realm lord.

And these credits were all the hard work of him, Zhang Cai Dong.

"Just wait for Shen Mu to come back. I think he is right to trust me. Although he forced me to be a spy before, which made me a little embarrassed, I found that he doesn't have any Blue Star humans to be his subordinates, so it's not a wrong choice for me to join him."

Zhang Cai Dong touched his chin, and the smile on his face became more and more brilliant.

He suddenly felt that living in this new human territory of Deherim was not bad.

Moreover, anyone with discerning eyes could see that this new human territory was really the kind of human order territory, which was completely different from the cruel survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle in the pig-headed human tribes of those Diesel Companies' Orc tribes.

Moreover, seeing those humans whose appearance was different from his own Blue Star humans with black hair and black pupils, he could easily distinguish between humans and human races, but looking at that, basically, except for the difference in hair color and pupil color, and a little difference in skin color, it was completely the same kind of creature.

Zhang Cai Dong also felt that living among a group of humans was much better than living under the gloomy and cruel gazes of those pig-headed humans in the Diesel Company.

At least now he was quite relaxed living among a group of humans.

"And if I remember correctly, there is an opportunity to actively lean towards the spirit realm lord core possessed by Shen Mu, so that I can once again conduct soul-level co-frequency resonance. In this way, if I am selected, I can summon the human race's troops through Shen Mu's spirit realm lord core."

At this time, Zhang Cai Dong suddenly thought of an idea.

He suddenly thought of the reason why those formal employees in the Orc tribe of the Diesel Company could summon pig-headed humans, this spirit realm creature, as followers.

It was because once they were all recognized by the spirit realm lord's core, then they could all summon the spirit realm creature inherited by this core through the spirit realm lord core.

Like those formal employees of the Diesel Company back then, they could summon pig-headed humans to become their spirit realm followers through the lord imprint core of the Orc tribe.

Then, co-frequency resonance also became the same spirit realm creature as pig-headed humans, which had a quite powerful bonus in close combat.

Of course, this kind of bonus was irrelevant.

The main thing was that they could summon pig-headed humans to become spirit realm commanders, and they could also lead these pig-headed humans to closely unite around the core circle of the Orc tribe.

Otherwise, how could they be called formal employees?

Their status was simply worlds apart from those temporary workers who had strange and bizarre desert races as their spirit realm creature followers.

Now that Shen Mu also had his own power, of course he had to distinguish who was his own person.

So, now, if they actively gave up the previous soul co-frequency resonance, gave up the spirit realm creatures that they had previously selected, and joined the spirit realm force behind Shen Mu, hoping to become the commanders of those spirit realm forces.

It was not impossible.

As long as there was sufficient spiritual energy and spirit realm imprint fragments.

And a sincere heart.

Then it could be done.

After all, Zhang Cai Dong had also understood before why those formal employees became formal employees, and also understood why they could become commanders of pig-headed humans through Xue Zhigang's spirit realm lord imprint.

"In this case, perhaps it is really possible to become a spirit realm commander of the human race, which is safer than becoming a spirit realm commander of those barbaric races."

Zhang Cai Dong touched his chin at this time, and his heart became more and more moved by his idea.

Although he had some jackal people before, he also understood the wolfish ambitions of those jackal people.

Even if he, as the commander, was the key anchor point for them to escape the time seal.

But every time after falling asleep and letting these jackal people help him keep watch at night, he could sense the covetousness towards him revealed in the green eyes of each and every one of them.

If he were not a human, if he were not the key anchor point for rescuing these jackal people from the time seal, he would probably have been killed by these jackal people with their scimitars long ago, and then eaten his flesh.
