A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

Of course, good times have arrived. For Shen Mu, he can finally relax a little.

After inspecting the castle area and confirming that there were no abnormalities, Shen Mu returned to the noble's mansion in the town area, intending to take a good rest and sleep for a day.

After all, compared to the castle in New Rivacheg and the castle in Dhirim,

both are mainly for military use, and the living environment is quite harsh, and there is no possibility of a good rest, so Shen Mu usually lives in the noble's mansion when he has nothing to do.

Moreover, in the noble's mansion, Manid, who uses the other half as the administrative residence, can also come directly to him if he has construction plans.

After all, Manid is now also in charge of, or rather his main responsibility is, to ensure that all the open space in Dhirim is utilized, building houses so that all Blue Star humans and Calradian humans have a place to live.

You need to know that although more than 10,000 Blue Star humans have squeezed into Dhirim, nearly half of them still live on the streets, simply setting up a tent.

Even more, as many as 20,000 Blue Star humans still live in the open space between the low walls and the city walls around Dhirim.

That is because the Holy Light Torch Tower has completely dispelled the undead rules.

Moreover, at night, within the influence range of the Holy Light Torch Tower, it will automatically burn those undead monsters who dare to step into the illuminated area, automatically killing these undead monsters that pose a serious threat to Blue Star humans.

That's why he can safely arrange for those more than 20,000 Blue Star humans to live in the open space between the low walls and the city walls.

However, this is not a long-term solution.

After all, the thousands of acres of land between the low walls and the city walls will also need to be used to plant wheat, and the wheat seeds that have already been planted need to germinate quickly and grow into wheat seedlings.

If these more than 20,000 Blue Star humans are still living in this wheat field,

then it is obviously an impact on agricultural production.

Shen Mu certainly wouldn't do that.

That's why he urged Manid to build more town houses as soon as possible to solve the housing problems of these Blue Star humans and Calradian soldiers.

There's no way, if he doesn't build houses quickly, if he doesn't use his power of faith to complete the houses as soon as possible, then letting those Blue Star humans live outside the city walls for a long time will make them feel unimportant, and special mental activities will inevitably occur over time.

Thinking about it, you can understand that in the past, these Blue Star humans lived in the Orc tribe of Diesel Company whenever a Black Tide occurred.

They all had the protection of city walls.

Now that Diesel Company has been solved by him, and the Orc tribe has been destroyed,

these Blue Star humans who have all defected to him have found that their treatment is not as good as when Diesel Company ruled, so they will definitely be quite angry.

Perhaps they won't say much, but as long as there is a special situation, or a war with other forces, these Blue Star humans will obviously leave, and it will be really embarrassing if they can't even provide the power of faith by then.

Now, Shen Mu is very concerned about the issue of his power of faith, so it is absolutely impossible for these Blue Star humans to leave.

"It seems that I really should adjust the living environment of those Blue Star humans a little bit. Especially the living environment, which is an important part of food, clothing, housing, and transportation. If it is not handled well, it will easily offend those Blue Star humans."

So Shen Mu also adjusted his pace and first came to Manid's administrative residence.

And in this administrative residence, it is not actually the system composed of Manid and his Calradian soldiers that is working.

Some spare offices have also been vacated and given to Zhang Caidong, Zhang Bo, Sun Zhiru, and those senior management personnel for daily office work.

Of course, it is impossible to live here. Only Calradian soldiers can live in this administrative residence.

This is Shen Mu's strict distinction and requirement.

Of course, the external name is also said by Manid, that is to say, there are not many spare rooms in the current administrative relationship to provide to them, and they need to wait for future expansion before providing the extra rooms to them, so that they also have a place to live in the administrative relationship.

Of course, the specific saying is this, and those Blue Star humans also understand that they have just surrendered and have not fully gained Shen Mu's trust. Although Shen Mu has given them considerable power, he will never allow anyone with ulterior motives to approach his place of residence and sleep.

Everyone just thought about it and didn't say much.

"Lord Shen Mu."

When Manid saw Shen Mu coming, he also put down the quill he was writing, respectfully stood up, and bowed to Shen Mu.

"Yes, Manid, I came to take a look."

Shen Mu nodded, and at the same time glanced at the empty offices outside that belonged to the Blue Star humans, his brows also furrowed: "Where are they?"

He was referring to those high-level executives who had surrendered to him as internal agents.

"Oh, them. They went to your noble residence, Lord Shen Mu, today and haven't come back since. It seems they went to discuss with their own small circles."

Manid obviously knew a lot, so he smiled and said to Shen Mu: "The matter of you conferring them as centurions has made them quite excited, so they are deciding who will become the new centurion next."

"Is that so."

Shen Mu nodded, and also understood why those Blue Star humans would be so excited, after all, this is equivalent to becoming a Spirit Realm Commander.

You need to know that now if you want to become a Spirit Realm Commander, you can only do it by obtaining the Spirit Realm Mark inheritance.

You need to know that if it is an undead monster, in the first few years when it first appeared, the Spirit Realm Mark inheritance would greatly increase the possibility of becoming a Spirit Realm Commander, and there would be many opportunities to become a Spirit Realm Commander.

But at that time, people did not understand the inside story, so many people were innocently killed in that disaster, and not many people became Spirit Realm Commanders.

And now if you want to become a Spirit Realm Commander, it is already quite difficult. If you want to obtain the Spirit Realm Mark inheritance, you can only go to those more dangerous places shrouded in darkness to find it.

But from what I just said, the places shrouded in darkness are quite dangerous. If you want to find the Spirit Realm Mark inheritance inside, it is no different from sending yourself to death.

After all, they are just ordinary Spirit Realms. The humans don't have much power from the Spirit Realm rules, and they might not even be able to harm those undead monsters.

Looking at the skeleton soldiers, who are now basically cannon fodder, Shen Mu could easily send two Swadian civilians with pitchforks to smash them to pieces.

But for those humans, unless they light a bonfire to scare the skeleton soldiers, they can only inflict a little extra damage due to the fire's effect on undead creatures.

However, truly defeating these skeleton soldiers is still quite difficult. Even the great fires of the Blue Star world cannot truly harm these skeleton soldiers, only causing minor injuries and hindering their movements.

If they are caught up by these skeleton soldiers, they will still die.

Therefore, becoming a Spirit Realm Commander, possessing their own Spirit Realm followers, and being able to directly confront those undead monsters is a hope in the hearts of these Blue Star humans.

Before, they had no way to become Spirit Realm Commanders, which was truly helpless, and they had no means to find the Spirit Realm imprint inheritance.

Now, they have actually heard that Shen Mu, this Spirit Realm Lord, can turn them into true Spirit Realm Commanders, and command these human soldiers and human armed individuals who are similar to them.

Of course, they would be very excited, and they all hurried to tell their friends in their small circles, asking them to prepare as well.

After all, although the ten people who would become Shen Mu's Spirit Realm Commanders had already been decided for the second day,

there would be ten people who could become Spirit Realm Commanders on the third, fourth, or even fifth day, and every day after that. Sooner or later, it would be their turn to recommend someone.

And as long as the person they recommend becomes a Spirit Realm Commander, it is equivalent to being included in their core small circle and becoming one of their own. Then, they can recommend them to their superiors' small circles, so that their own people become more and more numerous, forming more interest groups.

Gradually, these high-level managers will be like tree roots, entwining countless small circles belonging to them to help them act and earn some benefits for themselves in Deherim, Shen Mu's town.

There are always interests involved in human relationships, and they do not shy away from these.

After all, when they chose to follow, they also gained their own benefits. So now, when they see Shen Mu's power growing stronger, they are naturally willing to continue following Shen Mu to obtain more and more benefits.

Especially for them,

becoming a Spirit Realm Commander is a core level of benefit, so they will not give up at all, and are very excited to get a share of the pie.

Shen Mu also understood this, so he also knew why Manid felt it was so ridiculous. After all, a Decurion for these cavalry and infantry humans who truly came from the Calradia continent is just the lowest level of conferred title.

It can't even be called a conferral, it's just an appointment, making them a Decurion, leading ten soldiers.

It is the most basic combat unit.

Although there are also Centurions and Chiliarchs above,

these so-called positions are just civilian-level positions. It is only because they lead more troops that they are appointed as such, unlike the knight titles possessed by those true nobles.

They cannot be confused with titles such as Baron, Viscount, or Earl.

Moreover, these so-called Decurions mostly command low-level soldiers.

The best soldiers are just Swadian light infantry, third-tier soldiers.

For those nobles who truly command elite troops, such as fourth-tier Swadian infantry or fifth-tier Swadian sergeants, fourth-tier Swadian heavy cavalry, fifth-tier Swadian knights,

these are the troops that those noble lords truly rely on.

What Decurion, what Centurion.

These titles are not worth mentioning at all, they are just honorary titles used to deceive those in the commoner class, petty bourgeoisie, and merchant class.

If they really valued them, these nobles would have promoted them to become nobles like themselves long ago. Even the most reluctant title, a baronet, is still a noble class.

But even a baronet would not be given to a true commoner, but only to the illegitimate children of nobles or the distant relatives of nobles who have been scattered abroad.

This is the solidification of class.

"Alright, we don't need to discuss too much. The reason I came here is also to hope that Manid, you can build more town housing so that more Blue Star humans can live inside the city walls," Shen Mu said.

"Understood, Lord Shen Mu. I will also quickly build more town housing next," Manid nodded. This was originally something he was considering, after all, he had already noticed the extremely scarce housing in Deherim before.

However, at this time, Manid also saw something, his brow furrowed slightly, and he said hesitantly: "Lord Shen Mu, I have a suggestion I want to discuss with you."

"Speak," Shen Mu nodded.

"It's like this, Lord Shen Mu, there are too many military units and civilian units living in Deherim now. According to the previous settings, our New Deherim can only accommodate about 20,000 people."

Manid reported seriously: "But now, including the cavalry and infantry soldiers and civilians, as well as these Blue Star humans, the number is simply too many."

"Yes, that's indeed the case," Shen Mu nodded.

What Manid said was indeed the truth.

"My idea is, can we divert a batch of these Blue Star humans, or our cavalry and infantry soldiers or civilians?" Manid suggested.

However, this suggestion suddenly reminded Shen Mu of something: "I still have an extra opportunity to build a castle that I haven't used yet."

Thinking of this, Shen Mu pondered: "It just so happens that Manid has made this suggestion. Perhaps I can use this opportunity to build a castle to divert a portion of the Blue Star humans or cavalry and infantry soldiers, so that the housing crisis can be partially resolved."

These were all Shen Mu's thoughts.

And the more he thought about it, the more correct it felt.

The housing situation is already so tight, then he should open up the third base as soon as possible. (End of this chapter)
