A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

"No, because the Black Tide is coming again." Zhang Song revealed a smile: "You may not know, but now the Black Tide can no longer be predicted according to the original time periods."

As he spoke, his smile became somewhat solemn: "The rules are going to change."

Beside him, Zhang Bo saw his expression and heard his words, and slowly clenched his fist: "The rules are going to change? Then, should true extraordinary power ascend to the stage of the Blue Star world?"

He knew about this because Xue Zhigang, the deceased general manager of the Diesel Company, had mentioned it to him before.

The reason why Xue Zhigang was so eager to use the power of artifacts and demons to make himself stronger was also because of this.

If he couldn't master stronger extraordinary power when the extraordinary power began to appear, he would be left far behind by other races with extraordinary power, after all, the Pig-headed people didn't belong to a race with strong extraordinary power.

"That's right, the world has changed. When extraordinary power becomes stronger, the spring of the Elf race will also arrive."

Zhang Song slowly clenched his fist, looked at his slender, fair, and elongated hand.

Although it looked somewhat slender, one could still vaguely see the bulging muscles between the knuckles and the palm, possessing considerable strength.

This is also why Wood Elves, despite their seemingly slender and delicate figures, can easily draw bows and shoot continuously.

Wood Elves are actually a race with considerable muscle.

But at this time, what Zhang Song cared about was not these muscles, but the Wood Elves, a branch of the Elf race, a race with high magical talent.

He was concerned about this magical talent.

After all, the Elf race itself is a race with extremely high magical talent, even the Wood Elves in the branch, who are good at archery, still have a certain magical talent.

And these male humans have already resonated with the Wood Elves on a soul level, so they are now evolving in the same direction as these Wood Elves, gradually getting rid of their identity as Blue Star humans and becoming new Wood Elves.

Therefore, when they completely transform into Wood Elves, they can also master the various talents possessed by these Wood Elves, including archery talent, agility, and magical talent.

If new rules are generated and extraordinary power gradually becomes stronger, then they can obviously possess the Wood Elves' magical talent and begin to learn how to use extraordinary power.

This is a good thing, so Zhang Song doesn't reject the Spirit Realm replacing the Blue Star world, and even feels that the time for this replacement is too slow and cannot form quickly.

If it could form quickly, then they could obviously quickly become Wood Elves, and then master magical talent, becoming Wood Elf archers and Wood Elf casters.

Of course, in this process, their Wood Elf village could only rely on bows and arrows to fight, but now that such extraordinary rules have come, they can also have stronger extraordinary power to use, and naturally, a qualitative change will slowly form.

It will also slowly overwhelm that Deherim's human race's new territory.

However, thinking of this, Zhang Song's brow furrowed even more: "No, it absolutely cannot be delayed any longer.

With the advent of extraordinary power, I don't believe that there is no extraordinary power in that human race force, and there are also various mages and casters among the human race.

If we let that guy named... develop together, then when extraordinary power clashes with extraordinary power, and ordinary soldiers clash with ordinary soldiers, we will still be at a disadvantage."

"Brother Song, after the advent of extraordinary power, maybe I can see many pictures about the future."

Zhang Bo showed a smile on his face at this time.

Seeing the solemn color in Zhang Song's eyes, he said in a very relaxed tone: "Then I will definitely tell you, after all, a good future is what a prophecy mage hopes to see."

"Well, with you here, we are much more at ease.

After all, the Green Leaf Group is really too weak and needs you to fight alone here."

Zhang Song showed a smile on his face at this time, patted Zhang Bo's shoulder, and was filled with emotion for this brother.

"It's all for serving Big Brother, there's no way, after all, the general manager was so good to us at the time, and I don't necessarily have anything to do, they didn't expect that I am actually from the Green Leaf Group."

Zhang Bo shrugged his shoulders and didn't show any complacent expression.

"Well, that's it, be careful here yourself, and it's not convenient for us to chat here too much, so you should go back first."

Zhang Song nodded, then said a few words to Zhang Bo, and then said goodbye to him.

"Understood."

Zhang Bo also understood the danger and risk of exposure here, and didn't say much either.

He flipped out of the window, and then retreated back to the first safe house along the narrow bushes, flipped in from the window, everything was very normal.

It was as if nothing had happened, he had been in that room all along.

After waiting for about 20 minutes, Zhang Bo tidied up his mood, reopened the door, and left the hidden community again.

Even if he met those Blue Star humans scattered on the road preparing to search for supplies, he just nodded and chatted casually for a few words, and didn't say where he was going, and those Blue Star humans also understood that he must have come out to find his secret lair, and didn't ask much.

Everything really seemed very normal.

Until Zhang Bo came to the vicinity of Deherim along the road, walking on the flat dirt road, looking at the densely packed tents built in the fields on both sides, his face didn't change much.

When he was in the Diesel Company, he also saw those Blue Star humans who lived in the desert and built tents.

But what made Zhang Bo feel more emotional and surprised was the 6-meter-high city wall with a 2-meter-high baffle on top, and the human soldiers walking back and forth on the city wall wearing armor, holding weapons, and looking quite elite, and all of them were standard soldiers.

There were also those higher watchtowers, higher arrow towers, and higher turrets, surrounding the entire Deherim's walls as if it were a hedgehog.

In Zhang Bo's opinion, Deherim, which has been strengthened once again, would probably be futile even if the Diesel Company used all of its strength to attack when it was still there.

Because it has formed a perfect defense system.

"Stop."

At this time, when Zhang Bo came to the location of the city gate, two human soldiers wearing chain armor, holding spears, carrying shields, and wearing long swords around their waists walked forward and asked him to stop.

Zhang Bo obediently stood where he was, looking at the two soldiers clad in chainmail, and the eight others behind them stationed at the city gate, similarly dressed. In his mind, he recalled the names of these soldiers.

They were called Swadian Light Infantry.

Zhang Bo didn't understand why they were called 'light infantry,' considering the weapons and equipment they carried were quite elite and standard-issue regular army gear.

Compared to the Pig-Men, their equipment was considerably superior.

Not to mention the Wood Elves of the Green Leaf Group, who only had bows and arrows and very little armor; even leather armor was scarce.

Or rather, even in the Wood Elf's main base in the Astral Plane behind the Green Leaf Group, although corresponding armor existed, it wasn't as extravagant as the Human Empire's forces under Shen Mu, where nearly everyone had a complete set of standard equipment.

This was truly too extravagant, especially considering the ordinary militia members still wore studded leather armor.

It provided ample defense.

And it also gave these militiamen, who looked no different from farmers, a strengthened combat appearance.

"I am Zhang Bo, a Prediction-type Mage, and the Deputy Secretary-General of the Blue Star Human Management Committee," Zhang Bo introduced himself, not wanting to make things difficult for the two Swadian Light Infantry soldiers responsible for checking him. At the same time, he mentioned the position assigned to him by the self-organized committee established by the Blue Star Humans.

That is, the Deputy Secretary-General of the Blue Star Human Management Committee.

Although it was just a Deputy Secretary-General, it suited Zhang Bo's habits. After all, he had told Zhang Cai Dong that he had no interest in officialdom and didn't care about how high his position was. Any position would do. As Deputy Secretary-General, he could access core decisions, connect with other high-level officials, offer advice, and not bear any responsibility—a very good position.

"Oh, it's Mr. Zhang Bo. It's a pleasure to meet you. May I ask why you exited through the East Gate earlier and are now returning through the West Gate?" The Swadian Light Infantry soldiers nodded to each other, then beckoned to a Blue Star Human beside them.

He was also sent by the Management Committee to help defend the city gate and identify fellow Blue Star Humans.

Upon seeing that it was Zhang Bo, he immediately understood that this was Zhang Cai Dong's brother, so he nodded earnestly to the Swadian Light Infantry soldiers, confirming Zhang Bo's identity.

"Thank you very much," Zhang Bo nodded to that Blue Star Human, expressing his gratitude.

At the same time, he said to the Swadian Light Infantry soldiers who were questioning him, "I've been feeling quite cheerful lately, so I went for a couple of strolls outside, especially seeing how rapidly Dehrim is developing, which makes me feel even better. Just taking a walk to relax shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Of course, keeping a good mood is a very good thing." The Swadian Light Infantry soldiers naturally couldn't find anything wrong, so they gestured for him to pass, letting Zhang Bo go.

"Thank you!" Zhang Bo smiled and walked into Dehrim, onto the brick-paved town road.

Looking at the various warehouses and houses that had been densely built on both sides, as well as the tents erected along the road to shelter the incoming Blue Star Humans, and the Swadian Light Infantry patrols occasionally passing by in formations of ten, carrying shields and spears.

Zhang Bo's face showed even more emotion.

Yes, Zhang Song was right. This human town called Dehrim was developing too quickly. Zhang Bo lived here and could see even more.

Continuing along the street, he prepared to return to the town house not far from the noble's residence in the center, which was his allocated individual room, a sort of personal detached villa.

As he walked, he saw in the distance, at the end of the street near the South City Wall, a clanging sound, as if light was flashing, and two-story houses capable of accommodating up to 30 people were being built.

He felt a tightening sense of urgency in his heart.

As a Prediction-type Mage, he was extremely sensitive to magical fluctuations and the fluctuations of time and space. He faintly sensed that those rapidly constructed buildings seemed to contain changes in time and space.

However, he couldn't go to the construction site because there were some heavily built human soldiers in chainmail, resembling Pig-Men but with human appearances, stationed there.

No one was allowed to approach.

Not even Blue Star Humans were allowed to approach.

"I always feel that Shen Mu has many secrets, but I can't quite put my finger on it. It feels quite strange," Zhang Bo frowned. Although he understood that everyone in this world now had secrets and their own trump cards, Shen Mu gave him a peculiar sense of strangeness.

But when asked what was strange, he couldn't really say. In the end, he could only shake his head and walk towards his house.

He still needed to act as a stable spy planted here, and he absolutely couldn't cause any trouble that would easily expose him. He certainly wouldn't do anything out of the ordinary or that would make him act abnormally. All he had to do was add fuel to the fire.

Besides, Zhang Bo also understood that this town area was not Shen Mu's core territory.

At this time, he looked up at the huge castle area to the north.

Even now, the entire castle area was densely packed with human soldiers, and they, the Blue Star Humans, had no way to enter the castle area.

Except for Zhang Cai Dong and others who had entered the prison in the castle area as prisoners back then, no one knew what was inside the castle area or how the troops were distributed.

Moreover, the castle area was now heavily guarded, completely refusing them, the Blue Star Humans, to set foot inside, not even a step.

Clearly, Shen Mu had given the town area to them, while the castle area was defended by his specialized human soldiers.

"One aspect of the plan is here. If a rebellion is really to be launched, then taking down the city gates of the castle area and the town area before those human soldiers react is a crucial key point," Zhang Bo retracted his gaze, returned to his room, and his expression became increasingly solemn.
