A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

Winning over these middle managers is Zhang Bo's main tactic right now. Now that Zhang Caidong has successfully given him the authority to recommend who becomes the Spirit Realm Commander, it means Zhang Bo has the power of personnel.

Personnel is politics.

This is a very real issue.

Zhang Bo pointed to 20 Blue Star humans who were close to him before, relatively capable, and quite reliable and efficient.

Giving them the opportunity to become Spirit Realm Commanders today.

Then, he took them to the noble's residence, met Shen Mu, and amidst respectful greetings, Shen Mu directly appointed them as Centurions, also giving each of them 10 Swadian civilians.

This was considered the completion of the Spirit Realm Commander inheritance in their eyes.

"Thank you for your generosity and kindness, esteemed Lord Shen Mu." These Blue Star humans placed their hands on their chests and respectfully retreated from the noble's residence.

The Holy Tree Knights escorted them away and stood guard at the entrance of the noble's residence again.

However, inside the noble's residence.

Shen Mu sat in his lord's chair, watching these Blue Star humans leave, with a pensive look on his face: "Now, more and more of those humans are becoming Spirit Realm Commanders. If each person has 10 Swadian soldiers, then 10 Blue Star humans will have 100 Swadian soldiers, 100 Blue Star humans will have 1000 Swadian soldiers, and if there are 1000 Blue Star humans, that would be 10,000 Swadian soldiers."

The increasing number of Blue Star humans becoming Centurions has significantly increased the pressure on Shen Mu regarding the number of Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers.

Although Shen Mu has a considerable number of Mount \u0026 Blade civilian units, their current number is only around two thousand.

Realistically, 200 Blue Star humans could occupy all of these Mount \u0026 Blade civilian units.

"Right now, I need to consider whether I can increase the number of Mount \u0026 Blade civilian units, especially now that New Rivacheg and New Uzhitz have been established and require a large number of troops and personnel to garrison them, so the new recruits have become a problem."

Shen Mu pondered.

If he thinks along these lines, then the source of these new recruits needs to be resolved.

At this time, Shen Mu thought of the Mount \u0026 Blade Warband world.

"If I can open up the Mount \u0026 Blade Warband world, then I can obtain a continuous stream of Mount \u0026 Blade civilian units." Shen Mu couldn't help but frown, but how to open up the Mount \u0026 Blade Warband world is really unknown, after all, he cannot actively recruit Mount \u0026 Blade civilian units now.

After all, these Mount \u0026 Blade civilian units are not the same as Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers, which can be promoted and recruited through the town's barracks and the Mount \u0026 Blade civilians themselves.

After all, Mount \u0026 Blade civilians themselves are the most basic type of civilian unit, belonging to the most basic foundation.

Since they are already the most basic unit, how can they be recruited and promoted?

Of course, Shen Mu also knows that in his one town and two castles, there are many Mount \u0026 Blade civilian units that are male and female, and there are also relatively few young children civilians.

That is, children of fourteen or fifteen years old are also civilian units.

But more are Mount \u0026 Blade male civilians, even female civilians are rare.

According to normal biological logic, males and females combine to produce the next generation, which can increase the population.

But if you only calculate it this way, nearly four or five thousand males and nearly two or three hundred females, and dozens of children. This ratio is simply a bit exaggerated.

If you really follow the biological logic and let men and women combine and then give birth to the next generation, then how can these two or three hundred women satisfy these four or five thousand men.

Just thinking about it makes Shen Mu feel a little unbearable to look at.

[Ding! Detected your current needs! Mount \u0026 Blade System function is in effect! You can consume Faith Power to issue a Vagrant Recruitment Order in the Mount \u0026 Blade Warband world! Recruit a group of homeless vagrants to join your forces!]

[Note! The Vagrant Recruitment Order you issued is not limited to those homeless people, and because of your high reputation, even those civilians who own land, or town residents who are willing to create a new life in the town, are willing to actively respond to your Vagrant Recruitment Order to come and join you!]

[Therefore, if your Vagrant Recruitment Order affects the stability of the country's politics and economic output, then the nobles and supreme rulers of that country will have a bad negative impact on you.]

[Please use this Vagrant Recruitment Order with caution.]

"……" Shen Mu was slightly stunned, looking at the dialog box that appeared in front of him, and the whole person was a little helpless: "Okay, okay, this Mount \u0026 Blade System is really a蛔虫in my stomach. When I want something and need something, my Mount \u0026 Blade System can help me complete it."

Of course, he has nothing to say about this, after all, this is his golden finger.

"Then use the Vagrant Recruitment Order." Shen Mu's thinking directly communicated with his Mount \u0026 Blade System. At the same time, as the usage of the Vagrant Recruitment Order appeared in his mind, he also had an idea in his heart: "If you choose a country, then choose the Kingdom of Swadia!"

His reputation in the Kingdom of Swadia is already quite high, and for him, the Kingdom of Swadia is equivalent to an important logistics base.

If he can use the Vagrant Recruitment Order from the Kingdom of Swadia, then the vagrants he obtains must also be Swadians.

In this way, his Dhirim will definitely be able to quickly replenish Swadian civilians.

As if sensing Shen Mu's thoughts, a new content appeared in the dialog box in front of him again.

[Ding! You used the Vagrant Recruitment Order, the price of using this Vagrant Recruitment Order is 10,000 Faith Power.]

[Through the Vagrant Recruitment Order, you conveyed in the Kingdom of Swadia the need for a large number of vagrants in no man's land to come and build your territory together.]

[Approximately 1000 Swadian civilians heard your voice and plan to come and join you.]

[Note that no matter which kingdom's civilian units come here, they will come to join you as the most basic civilians. You can train them into soldiers of different kingdoms through different castle military buildings or town military buildings.]

"Train them into soldiers of different kingdoms through different castle military buildings or town military buildings?" Shen Mu looked at the last column of dialog box content, his eyes slightly stunned, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that it is through which force's military building to recruit and train, which force's soldiers will appear. This has solved the problem of choosing soldier types for me."

After all, there's no other way.

Among the six nations in Mount \u0026 Blade: Warband, each country focuses on different special troop types.

For example, the Kingdom of Swadia excels in heavy shock cavalry.

The Nords excel in heavy close-combat infantry.

The Kingdom of Rhodoks excels in heavy defensive infantry and sharpshooting crossbowmen.

The Kingdom of Vaegirs excels in sharpshooters and heavy assault troops.

The Khergit Khanate excels in light shock cavalry and horse archers.

The Sarranid Sultanate excels in heavy cavalry, represented by the Mamlukes.

Each has its own strengths and weaknesses.

However, if you could combine all the special troop types from all the kingdoms, that would be the advantage of the Calradian Empire, incorporating all the strengths of these kingdoms into one.

For holding the line, they have the Kingdom of Rhodoks' heavy defensive spear phalanx infantry.

For sieges, they have the Kingdom of Nords' heavy close-combat infantry.

If they plan to decide the victory or break the stalemate, they can send out the Kingdom of Vaegirs' heavy assault infantry, who use two-handed great axes with extremely strong attack power.

As for ranged shooters, whether it's the Rhodok sharpshooting crossbowmen or the Vaegir sharpshooters, they can make the enemy suffer.

Moreover, in terms of cavalry, they can send out the Khergit Khanate's light cavalry for scouting or horse archers for harassment at any time.

If the enemy dares to come out with a small force of a few people, then sending out light shock cavalry to solve them is simply easy.

If the enemy appears with a large number of soldiers, then in the plains, the Kingdom of Swadia's heavy shock cavalry group can easily crush the enemy.

And after the Kingdom of Swadia's heavy shock cavalry group tears apart the enemy's formation, the Mamlukes' heavy cavalry can follow up and use stronger close-combat skills to solve the enemy's attempt to close ranks.

Moreover, the Vaegir Knights in the Kingdom of Vaegirs are also heavy cavalry that completely focus their combat power on attack, and can also exert stronger combat power, wielding two-handed battle axes on horseback to destroy the enemy's formation even more severely.

And at this time, the enemy's formation must have completely collapsed, and the Khergit Khanate's light shock cavalry or horse archers, whether to continue harassing the enemy or complete the final blow, is up to the commander.

It can be said that the reason why the Calradian Empire is so powerful lies here.

The top troops of these 6 kingdoms are actually the ordinary troops, the regular troops, of the Calradian Empire.

This is also why everyone regards the Mount \u0026 Blade: Warband event as just an independent meta-world, because the Calradian Empire itself in the Mount \u0026 Blade: Warband world is a separate empire in the background.

In fact, the Mount \u0026 Blade: Warband world itself and the Mount \u0026 Blade: Warband world, which in name was not completely split hundreds of years ago, but only just showed signs of splitting, have completely different developments in the background world.

It's just that in name, the Mount \u0026 Blade: Warband event is a prequel to the Mount \u0026 Blade: Warband world, which is further back in the timeline.

But fundamentally, the two are basically not very related.

There are only some connections in the background.

【Ding! A group of refugees from the Kingdom of Swadia came to your vicinity of Dhirim and saw the town you built, and their hearts were filled with joy. Now you need to send someone to guide those refugees over.】

【Ding! Because you recruited homeless refugees, damaging the interests of the Kingdom of Swadia, King Harlaus is extremely dissatisfied with you, and now King Harlaus's approval of you has decreased.】

【Ding! King Harlaus condemns you.】

Then, in front of Shen Mu, the new content of the dialog box on the Internet was refreshed again, representing that homeless refugees from the Kingdom of Swadia had arrived in his Dhirim.

And there was also King Harlaus condemning him.

“It's normal, I already know King Harlaus very well, there's no problem, condemn me if you want, anyway, I don't care.” Shen Mu shrugged. This is indeed something King Harlaus could do.

And just at this time, there was also a noisy sound outside.

At the same time, a Holy Tree Knight walked quickly outside the gate of the noble residence to report to him: "Lord Shen Mu, Knight Firentis came to report that he found a group of refugees from the Kingdom of Swadia. They plan to come and join you, and Knight Firentis needs you to make arrangements."

“Tell Firentis to take people directly to receive those refugees. They are all here to join me. Since they plan to come and join me, then choose to take them in.” Shen Mu raised his hand and said to the Holy Tree Knight.

“Understood, I will go and tell Knight Firentis.” The Holy Tree Knight nodded, and then turned and left the noble residence.

Then Firentis, who received the order, turned around and rode on his war horse, taking 10 Swadian heavy cavalry to welcome these homeless refugees who had arrived.

As a role model for the nobles, Firentis certainly hoped that these homeless people could stay here, which would not only bring some new blood to Shen Mu's Dhirim, but also take in these poor homeless people and give them a new future.

Firentis steered the reins of the war horse under his crotch, looking at the homeless people in front of him who had already arrived at the edge of Dhirim, each with a dirty face, extremely embarrassed, and tired on their faces.

A smile also appeared on his face.

“Everyone! I am very happy that you can come to the Kingdom of Swadia. I know that you are all homeless people who have come here after hearing the reputation of Lord Shen Mu, so since you have come here, I sincerely wish you a good future here, because the respected and merciful Lord Shen Mu is willing to take you in!”

Firentis came to them and said loudly about Lord Shen Mu's arrangements, while also letting these homeless people elect 10 leaders to arrange for themselves.

Of course, after hearing Firentis's words, these homeless people all shouted and cheered loudly.

Because the reason why they came to Dhirim was that they had heard that Lord Shen Mu wanted to acquire some refugees to cultivate the land within his increasingly large sphere of influence.

This is also why these homeless people are willing to come with large and small packages, dragging their families with them.

Of course, Shen Mu did not pay too much attention to the arrival of these refugees, but only instructed a Holy Tree Knight who served as an attendant next to him: "The resettlement of these homeless people will be the responsibility of Manid."

As the current governor-general, Manid should be responsible for these most basic livelihood issues.
