A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

The problem is that waiting is inevitable.

Currently, Shen Mu doesn't have enough denars to support the transformation of everyone.

After all, Torres, who returned from the White Tower area, only brought back a little over 10,000 denars, which is only enough to transform 12 people at most.

Instead of directly transforming 12 people and leaving the remaining 5 for the next day, it's better to wait for the Calradia continent's Nalot trade caravan to return with new denars for transformation.

It's better to divide them into two groups.

Each group would barely have around 10 people.

Transforming them this way wouldn't make the second group feel neglected or that there was a deliberate delay.

After all, people have feelings. Why could 12 people be transformed the first time, but the remaining 5 have to wait until the second day?

They would definitely have some resentment in their hearts.

Shen Mu now understands the complexity of human nature and considers these matters more thoroughly.

Therefore, dividing them into two groups for transformation can provide a more reasonable explanation: only 10 people can be transformed each day due to limited slots. This way, the people transformed on the second day won't feel resentful.

Moreover, letting them choose the candidates for the first day's transformation themselves can be seen as a democratic election.

Even if there are conflicts, they won't be too significant.

And they won't be directed at Shen Mu.

It's a small trick of manipulation by a superior over subordinates, seemingly insignificant but quite effective.

At least, after Shen Mu finished speaking, the Blue Star humans in the conference room had already elected their representatives, excluding Zhang Caidong and Sun Zhiru, the other 8 people.

They were all relatively prestigious among them, or people they felt comfortable with, at least they all approved of them after the democratic election.

So, after they had all completed their nominations.

A new dialogue box appeared before Shen Mu's eyes, containing the transformation details of the 9 people besides Zhang Caidong who had already been transformed.

【Ding! You have 9 Blue Star humans who trust you and are willing to accept your conferment.】

【You have selected these 9 Blue Star humans for conferment.】

【After system detection, the faith level of these 9 Blue Star humans towards you is 'Fanatic Believer Level', meeting the conferment requirements.】

【Do you need to spend 10,000 Faith Power points and 1,000 denars per person for the conferment?】

【Hint: A total of 90,000 Faith Power points and 9,000 denars are required.】

This was the content of the dialogue box that appeared on Shen Mu's retina, and he didn't hesitate at all, immediately choosing to confirm.

"Confirm and proceed with the conferment immediately."

Shen Mu's mind had already communicated with the system.

Immediately.

A burst of white light instantly surged from the center of Shen Mu's brow, then after circling through the entire conference hall, it arrived at the 9 Blue Star humans, and just like the changes Sun Caidong had faced, it directly covered them, transforming them into humanoid-sized eggs.

White data streams began to envelop them, and then the power from the Mount \u0026 Blade rules began to be injected into their Blue Star human bodies.

Including their mysterious souls.

And all of this lasted for about ten seconds.

In the conference room, the other 7 Blue Star humans were all eagerly watching their companions transform into white light, and then being transformed by a mysterious power.

The expressions that emerged in their eyes were quite envious and jealous.

But they were also quite enthusiastic.

After all, they all knew that the next day, they would also gain new power to help them become the same as their brothers.

And just at this moment, the transformation was about to end.

"Is this the power bestowed upon us by Lord Shen Mu? This is so special. My mind has gained a lot of memories of military training on how to fight."

"That's right, it's as if I have undergone a long period of training before gaining these experiences, including the experience of how to use these weapons."

"And I am also very familiar with how to use these long-handled scythes and spiked clubs in my hands."

"Even these long-handled scythes and spiked clubs that look like farm tools, and these old wooden shields, look like just some broken farm tools, but in reality, these are all creations of the Spirit Realm, actually full of the power of rules, capable of harming undead monsters."

"Moreover, I feel that the power Lord Shen Mu bestowed upon us this time is almost the same as the soul-level co-frequency resonance we had before when we signed contracts with those Spirit Realm creatures."

These Blue Star humans opened their eyes one after another, and at this time they were all looking at the long-handled scythes in their hands in surprise, and also took the old wooden shields behind them into their hands.

Looking at these once quite precious Spirit Realm creations and Spirit Realm weapons, they were all very pleasantly surprised.

Although these do look almost the same as farm tools.

And quite simple.

But they all understood that these weapons and armors with Spirit Realm rules were really quite precious.

After all, based on their previous experience in the Diesel Company, most of the temporary workers with their Spirit Realm followers had at most only one weapon in hand, and things like armor were not equipped by many people.

Just because these Spirit Realm creations often require them to enter the Spirit Realm scene, or find them from the Spirit Realm imprint.

And not everyone is qualified to enter the Spirit Realm scene or find the Spirit Realm imprint.

This is all a matter of luck.

If it were so easy to find, then it would be impossible for the current population of Longcheng City, which is in the hundreds of thousands, to have only less than 5,000 people with Spirit Realm inheritance, Spirit Realm imprints, and Spirit Realm followers.

Even among these 5,000 people, the vast majority, close to 4,000 people, are the most ordinary and lowest-level Spirit Realm commanders.

And among the remaining 1,000 or so people, the more powerful Blue Star humans include those led by the official employees of the Diesel Company and the Green Leaf Group, such as the more powerful Pigmen and Wood Elves.

And now, after Shen Mu destroyed the Diesel Company in the war, it is estimated that nearly 500 people will have to be subtracted from the remaining 1,000 people.

After all, Shen Mu's intensity of battle at that time was quite cruel.

Although about three or four hundred official employees and managers of the Diesel Company escaped, they could no longer cause much trouble.

After all, even if there are Pigmen followers who escaped, in reality, there are only four or five hundred of them left.

If they can't find a suitable place to establish their base and then find more Spirit World Imprints to summon more pig-headed orc tribes from the Astral Plane, their lives will be quite difficult.

After all, why do these forces like to occupy urban areas? It is so that when the Spirit World Imprints descend from the Astral Plane, they have the opportunity to obtain them first.

And once they lose their territory, the place they occupy, it means that the power has shrunk a lot, and there are few opportunities to obtain the descent of the Spirit World Imprints.

It also means less opportunity.

In this way, they will gradually suffer more and more losses due to lack of resources. After all, there are quite a lot of undead monsters in this world, and they are boundless, as if they will never disappear. As long as darkness descends, there will be undead monsters.

Once they fall into this vicious circle, even if their pig-headed people have strong combat power, in the end, they can only be trapped beasts fighting, and the final result will definitely be very tragic.

Of course, these things don't matter to Shen Mu at all.

Because these Blue Star humans who have become Swadian recruits have already completed his canonization and become centurions.

"Very good, very good." Shen Mu nodded in satisfaction, looking at these Blue Star humans who had turned into a row holding long-handled scythes and old wooden shields. He was very happy.

After all, under the rules of the Mount \u0026 Blade system, as long as these Blue Star humans lead their Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers, then when they pray, these Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers can also bring him the same power of faith.

For example, if these Blue Star humans are all at the level of nominal believers, each person can produce 5 points of faith value per day.

Then, plus the 10 Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers they lead, they can also generate 5 points of faith value per person per day when nominal believers pray.

One Blue Star human plus 10 Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers is 55 points of faith value.

10 Blue Star humans plus 100 Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers is 550 points of faith power.

If it is 1,000 Blue Star humans or 10,000 Blue Star humans, then the faith power generated every day is more than 50,000 points, more than 500,000 points, or even more than 5 million points.

And that's just one day.

Moreover, you need to know that the believer level of these Blue Star humans can still be increased. After all, above nominal believers, there are also true believers.

Above true believers, there are also devout believers, pious believers, and fanatical believers.

The power of faith brought is multiplied in turn.

Therefore, as long as he can turn all these Blue Star humans into centurions canonized by himself, then his power of faith will continue to increase on a large scale.

In this way, Shen Mu has also realized that it is more effective than those Blue Star humans praying on their own.

Just thinking about it now, Shen Mu feels a little excited.

Because this is really great.

At this time, Shen Mu looked at Sun Zhiru, who was still looking down at the long-handled scythe in his hand, with a very excited expression, and a smile appeared on his lips.

It was because of the special holy artifact that this Blue Star human gave him that he obtained such a special module, the believer module.

"I suddenly thought of that vampire matron, Isabel, hidden in the VIP room of the cinema on the top floor of the shopping mall complex."

The smile on Shen Mu's lips became more and more upturned, and at the same time, he silently thought in his heart: "Moreover, the maid I saw at the gate of New Rivacheg Castle also told me that someone in the building next door has a tool that can bring divine power."

Thinking about it now, Shen Mu suddenly realized that the residential building next to the shopping mall complex is not that high-end residential building?

And the people who appeared in the high-end residential area were this Sun Zhiru and others.

Combining the good impression he had left with them before, and then when he came to Dhirim, these people naturally appeared and gave him a special gift, which is the broken two-section statue with a believer module exuding divine power.

Everything is so natural, everything is so easy.

"I suddenly thought of the prompt the system gave me before." At this time, Shen Mu also thought of the system's prompt to him to choose the lawful or chaotic camp.

And all the changes seem to have begun to emerge quietly after he chose the camp.

Moreover, this is not to say that it is simply the help from the Mount \u0026 Blade rules to him. At this time, Shen Mu also discovered that it seems that the Spirit World rules and the Blue Star rules have also given him some special help.

Since he chose the camp, everything has been smooth sailing, and he has been able to discover dangers in advance and make early arrangements.

"This should be the sense of closeness in terms of camp, right? And then I have the Mount \u0026 Blade rules controlled by the Mount \u0026 Blade system, and I have insight into the operation principle of other rules at the rule level in advance, so it can bring me more help."

Shen Mu touched his chin and was thoughtful.

Of course, he didn't think too much, after all, these Blue Star humans are still waiting for him here.

"Pass my order and let 100 Swadian civilians come over." Shen Mu spoke again at this time, and then looked at these Blue Star humans, especially the nine Blue Star humans who had just been converted, his management, and said again: "Next, each of you will be assigned 10 Swadian civilians, and as long as you train them well, then I will use the power of my lord to turn these civilians into real soldiers."

Then Shen Mu briefly explained to them the special nature of the upgrade of Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers.

However, Shen Mu didn't say that he was helping them upgrade Mount \u0026 Blade, but that he was helping them replace a batch of soldiers.

Anyway, the crystal wall system on the fantasy side of the Spirit World has various powers.

There is also power comparable to God.

Whether to replace or not, whether to upgrade or not, it doesn't matter, it's just Shen Mu's rhetoric. After all, now that Shen Mu has said it, these Blue Star humans have to believe it.

They have to believe it even if they don't believe it.

The final right of interpretation is still with Shen Mu.

Even if these Blue Star humans discover the small problems in it in the future, then Shen Mu can also use another statement to get around this matter.

Moreover, if Shen Mu becomes stronger in the future, even if he doesn't give an explanation, can these people give up the various powers that Shen Mu has bestowed on them?

Definitely not.
