A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

When they chose to level up, Zhang Bo had already arrived here, followed by those little sprites, looking like they also wanted to explore the darkness.

“Brother Bo, why did you come here? My heavens, it's so dangerous here. You and your little sprites will be in danger.” A mid-level manager among the Blue Star humans was the first to see Zhang Bo's figure. His eyes widened in disbelief.

“I came to explore this darkness together, after all, to see if I can find some fragments of the Spirit Realm imprint within it. If that's the case, I can also communicate with the mage tower I'm in and become stronger.” Zhang Bo said with a smile.

As a divination mage, he also needed to absorb fragments of the Spirit Realm imprint to become stronger, so his words didn't have much contradiction.

However, for Zhang Bo, the actual reason he came was to see why these Blue Star humans, after joining Deherim, possessed special Spirit Realm followers, that is, these Spirit Realm humanoids, who could actually level up through special methods.

That's right, it was to become stronger by leveling up through special methods, which is what Zhang Bo wanted to know.

Because he had already heard from those Blue Star humans about the model of earning combat experience, then obtaining points, and finally leveling up.

Not only them, these Blue Star humans themselves, but even the Spirit Realm followers they led could also level up in this way.

This was something he had never noticed before.

It was even incomprehensible.

Why could they gain combat experience? And why could combat experience help them level up? Why could it allow these Blue Star humans and Spirit Realm followers to advance?

Zhang Bo was completely confused.

Especially after learning that the Green Leaf Group wanted to launch a surprise attack on Deherim and wanted him to put this plan on the agenda, he became even more eager to know the secrets of Deherim.

Because during this period of life, Zhang Bo really discovered that the powerful territory of this human empire of Deherim was increasingly carrying some secrets.

Moreover, those human followers were tight-lipped about too many secrets, and he couldn't detect any useful information at all.

Although he was now on Shen Mu's list, he wasn't as deeply trusted as Xue Zhigang, the general manager of the Diesel Company.

Even because the Magic Water Planet had not yet recovered, he was unable to accurately detect valuable things like fragments of the Spirit Realm imprint.

In this case, it would be difficult for him to penetrate into Shen Mu's core decision-making circle.

Although Shen Mu outwardly respected him quite a bit, and even allocated him a separate town house for his own use, compared to those crowded residences filled with Blue Star humans, he could be said to have received quite high courtesy.

But it must be known that this was just a kind of treatment. Super high treatment does not mean entering the core decision-making circle, nor does it mean being deeply trusted by Shen Mu, which is a point that needs to be understood.

Therefore, Zhang Bo couldn't know too much useful information. Even regarding certain secrets or even the latest decisions, he didn't know as much as Zhang Caidong and those high-level managers.

In this case, he would of course be a little curious in his heart and want to know these secrets and advanced policies urgently.

Especially before, according to Zhang Caidong, these Spirit Realm humanoids could actually level up.

It aroused his curiosity even more.

So he came here.

“Brother Bo, why did you come here? If someone hadn't told me, I wouldn't even know you had come.” Zhang Caidong, who had just heard the news, also rushed over to see Zhang Bo standing in the ruins with his ten or so little sprites, with a helpless expression on his face: “Brother Bo, you are a spellcaster, a divination mage. You are not good at fighting, coming here is like joking around.”

“I know, can't a divination mage come to the front line to take a look?” Zhang Bo smiled and said to Zhang Caidong, “And you have to understand that I am a bit awkward now.” As he spoke, he approached Zhang Caidong, lowered his voice, and his tone became even more helpless: “The magic crystal ball has not recovered yet, and if you want to recover it, you need a large number of Spirit Realm imprint fragments. You also know that there have been very few battles recently, and Lord Shen Mu hasn't provided me with many Spirit Realm imprint fragments, so I have no choice but to come out and look for them myself.”

“But it's too dangerous.” Zhang Caidong's tone became a bit solemn. He understood why Zhang Bo said this, because he also knew that Zhang Bo's magic crystal ball could detect the surrounding Spirit Realm fluctuations, but since it was damaged, it could no longer be used.

Moreover, Zhang Bo was very concerned about that magic crystal ball and had been trying to repair the crystal ball, but as an ordinary warrior, he could only help, after all, the work of repairing the magic crystal ball could only be done by the only spellcaster, Zhang Bo, himself.

This is also why Zhang Bo's tone loosened. He understood that Zhang Bo's position with Lord Shen Mu was a bit awkward, which is why Zhang Bo ridiculed himself as being a bit awkward now.

After all, now that the magic crystal ball has not recovered its effect, and the divination mage does not have any powerful combat power, he has not yet brought better help to Shen Mu with extraordinary power.

Even the ability to detect lies is not necessary for those Blue Star humans who are now united and basically quite convinced of Shen Mu.

Moreover, even if it is used, there must be a name.

Now that everyone has submitted to Shen Mu, Shen Mu can be said to have absolute power. Even if these Blue Star humans really have any ideas, they will slowly be subdued by Shen Mu.

Slowly completely trust Shen Mu.

Suddenly, testing all the Blue Star humans for lies will give rise to a rebellious mentality. Even if Zhang Bo is willing to do so, Shen Mu, as the controller of Deherim, cannot allow him to do so.

Even if Zhang Bo proposes it, it will arouse Shen Mu's suspicion, after all, this is a blatant act of sowing discord.

Who can't see it?

This is also why Zhang Bo said that his position in Deherim is quite awkward. Now he is indeed quite awkward. If it weren't for his identity as a divination mage with considerable growth potential in the future, otherwise he would probably be living in tents like those ordinary Blue Star humans.

"Alright, Bo-ge, no matter what, there's still hope. Master Shen Mu really values you. You prediction-type mages are top talents no matter where you go," Zhang Cai Dong comforted Zhang Bo at this time.

"I know, but I don't want to be a useless person, so I want to follow you and see if I can pick up some Spirit Realm Imprint fragments. Although as a prediction-type mage, I don't have any good skills in the early stages, I can still sense some of the special magical fluctuations flickering within the Spirit Realm Imprint fragments in time," Zhang Bo accepted Zhang Cai Dong's comfort and even volunteered, meaning he wanted to act together with him.

"Alright, Bo-ge, if you come with me, I have some Swadian recruits here, and their combat power is absolutely guaranteed."

Zhang Cai Dong thought for a while and nodded in agreement to Zhang Bo's request. After all, the combat power of his soldiers was indeed much better than those of other civilian units. Moreover, whether or not they could find Spirit Realm Imprint fragments while searching for supplies was one thing, and whether or not they could protect Zhang Bo was another.

He didn't want Zhang Bo to be harmed in any way. After all, in his heart, Zhang Bo was his relative, a fellow clansman from the same village in the city.

He absolutely needed to ensure his safety.

"Okay, then I'll rely on you, Cai Dong," Zhang Bo smiled, looking at the Swadian recruits behind Zhang Cai Dong, holding long-handled scythes and with eager expressions on their faces, and he also remembered this name in his mind.

"Alright, let's go. Continue to search the buildings for supplies according to your respective plans, find those undead monsters, and then upgrade again," Zhang Cai Dong came to the front of the team at this time and shouted to the Blue Star humans: "Then come over in the evening to gather together for dinner, and when it gets dark, gather at the edge of Deherim's low wall, and then go into the darkness to fight those undead monsters. Therefore, everyone should save some energy when searching for supplies next, and don't be too exhausted."

"Understood," these Blue Star humans shouted loudly, and then quickly went to the unit buildings in their respective assigned areas, and began to search for the undead monsters in the darkness, house by house.

Moreover, their search speed was quite fast. Basically, the two or three places with undead monsters in each unit building were found by them, and they rushed in with a crackling sound, solved the monsters, and walked out.

Then they went to the next room.

Some of the more unlucky ones found that there were no rooms with darkness and forest monsters in their unit building, so they looked at the situation and walked out.

They didn't even fight, it was extremely easy.

Of course, this ease also made these Blue Star humans quite depressed. After all, only by fighting undead monsters could they and the human soldiers under their command gain combat experience, gain points, and upgrade.

Now that there was no battle, it meant that their human soldiers had no way to gain combat experience, no way to gain points, and no way to upgrade.

Especially when those Blue Star humans saw the Swadian recruits led by Zhang Cai Dong, who were also the only ones with Tier 2 units.

Looking at that appearance, although the equipment was still simple, it was obvious that they were combat units, which really made them quite envious.

They also wanted to turn the soldiers under their command into this appearance.

Moreover, looking at the more elite soldiers in Deherim, such as the Swadian militia, Swadian light infantry, and even the heavily armored heavy cavalry.

They were all drooling with envy.

If they had such powerful units, then those lizardmen, gnolls, pig-headed men, and earth goblins that they had at the time.

That would simply be trash.

Therefore, they were really working hard, wanting their civilians to gain combat experience, then gain points, and finally be able to upgrade, so that when they led a powerful human army, it would be extremely impressive.

And there would also be a guarantee for their own lives.

After all, according to Shen Mu, they could also upgrade, and could also upgrade to the same appearance as these national soldiers.

Just look at Zhang Cai Dong to know.

What Zhang Cai Dong now possessed was not the appearance of a Swadian recruit, but an appearance called a Swadian militia.

He had a shield, a spear, leather armor, and even a hunting crossbow.

Quite comprehensive equipment.

You must know that before, when they were temporary workers in the diesel company, their equipment was not as much as this, and most of them just had a weapon in their hand, and at most a piece of leather armor would be considered complete.

But look at Zhang Cai Dong's equipment, not only did he have a helmet, but he also had leather boots, and even trousers, all of which were Spirit Realm creations, all of which had the rules of the Spirit Realm.

How could people not be envious?

This was a suit.

So they were all working hard, quickly searching the surrounding community again, until they confirmed that there were no undead monsters in the darkness, everyone gathered again in the small square.

Then they returned to the edge of Deherim, took out some food and dry rations they had brought, and simply ate something.

Then they began to wait quietly.

They were waiting for it to get dark.

"Bo-ge, you stay by my side when it gets dark later, don't leave me too far, including the little sprites under your command, don't let them join the battle," Zhang Cai Dong was eating bread with Zhang Bo at this time, and also instructed Zhang Bo: "Your little sprites' combat power is really too weak, they don't have any damage, I think it's better to protect you by your side."

"Yes, I know," Zhang Bo also ate bread, noncommittal to Zhang Cai Dong's suggestion.

Of course, the key is that he also understands the combat power of his little sprites, which is really too poor.

Even if these little monsters are holding weapons that look like daggers, if they really face those terrifying undead monsters, it is estimated that even the weakest skeleton soldiers will not be able to let these little sprites eat and walk around.

Little sprites are one of the weakest races in the Spirit Realm, this is not a boast.

That is, they are ingenious and can learn like humans, otherwise they would have no value at all now. (End of this chapter)
