A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

Everything was getting back on track.

Shen Mu was quite satisfied with this result.

“I didn't expect the Mount \u0026 Blade system to be so considerate as to prepare a function for me to recruit vagrants using the power of faith.”

Looking at this new function in his mind, Shen Mu's face became even more satisfied. After all, as long as there was a constant stream of civilian units, he could continuously obtain a large number of Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers through the characteristics of the civilian units.

It was equivalent to obtaining a large number of people without the need for normal reproduction, giving birth to children, and then waiting for the children to grow up for 10 years, and then he could turn a large number of people into a large number of Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers.

It was equivalent to having no buffer period in between.

Moreover, it should be known that the conversion ratio between Mount \u0026 Blade civilians and Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers is 1:1.

This ratio means that every civilian unit in the Mount \u0026 Blade world can be converted into a Mount \u0026 Blade soldier without any loss or unsuitability. Regardless of gender or age, they are all qualified soldiers.

Total mobilization of the people is nothing more than this.

“In this way, I can really breathe a sigh of relief, because I always feel that a storm is coming, and something is about to happen. Now that the Mount \u0026 Blade system has given me this extra function, it also makes me feel a sense of pressure.”

Shen Mu's mind was also thinking.

After all, the Mount \u0026 Blade system could not have awakened this function for no reason. There must be a reason for awakening this function.

But as for what the reason was, Shen Mu was certainly unaware, but thinking about the past, the Mount \u0026 Blade system was quite considerate in preparing him in advance, so that he could have a way to overcome the difficulties he would encounter next.

That was to say, the Mount \u0026 Blade system had already foreseen the danger that would appear next, so it unlocked this function for him.

It could allow him to overcome a crisis that would definitely appear next.

After all, many such things had happened before. If it weren't for the Mount \u0026 Blade system, which foresaw the possible dangers in advance and gave him explicit or implicit hints, as well as various targeted help.

It's really hard to say whether Shen Mu could have reached the current stage of development.

“But at least with these extra Mount \u0026 Blade civilian units now, and with the help of my Blue Star humans to train them, many problems can be solved very well.” Shen Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

At least in terms of soldier training, he didn't need to worry about it.

Those Blue Star humans would help him train a batch of suitable Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers.

“Of course, although those Blue Star humans will receive the help of my Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers, they will definitely not obtain truly elite Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers, such as the most powerful Swadian Knight in the Swadian Kingdom, they are simply impossible to obtain.”

At this time, Shen Mu also had his own plans for these Blue Star humans, which he had already planned before.

These Blue Star humans possess Mount \u0026 Blade civilian units, and they can upgrade these Mount \u0026 Blade civilian units in the future.

However, the upgraded units are completely based on ordinary civilian upgrade units.

Instead of upgrading to noble series units.

The noble series upgrade units are of course the two series of Swadian Heavy Cavalry and Swadian Knight.

Of course, the Swadian Sergeant and Swadian Sharpshooter, two Tier 5 units, can also be classified as noble series upgrade units.

Therefore, Shen Mu's arrangement for these Blue Star humans is Tier 1 Swadian Recruit, Tier 2 Swadian Militia, Tier 3 Swadian Light Infantry or Swadian Skirmisher, and then Tier 4 Swadian Crossbowman and Swadian Infantry.

As for the Tier 5 units, they will definitely not be allowed to be promoted.

Because in the Mount \u0026 Blade world view, Tier 5 units are a complete qualitative change.

It is an absolute transformation, a kind of strengthening that has an absolute gap with Tier 4 units.

Therefore, Shen Mu is absolutely impossible to allow these Blue Star humans to upgrade to Tier 5 units. At most, they can only be upgraded to Tier 4 units.

After all, the number of Blue Star humans is very large, and the various tactics they have in their minds are also stronger than ordinary Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers. Every Blue Star human can be used as a general.

Although they have only been appointed as Decurions now, the threat formed by so many Decurions gathered together is also obvious.

After all, Shen Mu plans to turn all of these twenty to thirty thousand Blue Star humans into Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers, at least he must apply the Mount \u0026 Blade soldier template to all of these Blue Star humans.

In this way, he can obtain a continuous stream of extra help.

That is the Blue Star soldiers formed after these Blue Star humans have applied the template.

So, if all of these Blue Star soldiers were allowed to have the Tier 5 template, it would be dangerous at that time. Moreover, once these Blue Star soldiers were allowed to lead Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers who were all Tier 5 units, it would be equivalent to raising a tiger, and if something really happened, if Shen Mu did not issue an order to remove their military power in time, it would be dangerous.

That's right, Shen Mu has always been wary of these Blue Star soldiers. The only ones he truly trusts are the Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers.

So, allowing these Blue Star humans to obtain the Tier 4 standard at most is enough.

The Tier 4 standard is already enough to solve many things. Enemies like ordinary undead monsters, Tier 4 units equipped with heavy armor can completely handle.

“Then now, let the caravan run quickly again, and also have to accumulate the power of faith, so that the towns outside can be expanded again.” At this time, Shen Mu touched his chin, and there was some thought on his face.

Now the population in Dertherim has increased again, so in order to prevent the area of the residences from shrinking again, he can only expand the town.

If he wants to expand the town, he has already discussed it with Marnid before. At that time, he will add two larger east and west urban areas on the east and west city gates again.

Turning the existing urban area into the central urban area.

Everything is easy to solve.

However, the reason why Shen Mu has not directly chosen to expand now is that the reserve of the power of faith is not enough. After all, he can only obtain about 25,000 points of the power of faith a day, which is still relatively small.

Maintaining relatively fast operation and obtaining food has already consumed most of the power of faith, and only seven or eight thousand points of the power of faith can be stored every day.

“But it doesn't matter, when those spirit world commanders lead my Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers to become Decurions, they will pray, and with my Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers, they can also pray with their spiritual power, then they can obtain 11 shares of the power of faith.”

At this moment, Shen Mu's face wasn't embarrassed, but very calm: "As the number of my decurions increases, the power of faith gained by praying with the Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers will also increase. Moreover, whatever the faith level of my decurions, my Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers will be of the same faith level. In that case, the power of faith they produce will also increase."

After all, his Master-at-Arms would pray alone and also lead his 10 Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers to pray together.

In this way, if 10 decurions pray, it's equivalent to obtaining 110 points of faith power.

If 100 decurions pray, that's 1100 points of faith power.

And if 1000 decurions pray, that would be 11,000 points of faith power.

If 5000 decurions pray, that would be 55,000 units of faith power.

What if it were 10,000 decurions or more?

For Shen Mu, this faith power would be a constant stream, appearing every day and increasing, bringing him generous returns.

… …

New Rivacheg.

Aleren was patrolling the city walls, his hand gripping the hilt of his knightly sword, looking at the clearly Vaegir-style castle, a satisfied expression on his face.

Behind him, 10 Sacred Tree Knights were protecting him.

Along the city walls, at regular intervals, a Vaegir archer was stationed.

Furthermore, Swadian light infantry were guarding here.

Standing on the city walls, they kept a close watch on the surrounding situation.

"Have you noticed anything unusual?" Aleren asked a Vaegir archer, looking out at the vast plains.

"No, Your Excellency Aleren, everything is normal here," the Vaegir archer replied.

"Good, keep a close watch," Aleren nodded again in satisfaction.

Especially looking at the vast plains outside, where there were no unusual circumstances, a hint of regret appeared on his face: "It's a pity that such vast and fertile land is left barren. If such a vast territory were in the Vaegir snow highlands, even the King of Vaegir would be tempted."

The Vaegir snowfields were truly desolate, although they had abundant mineral and forestry resources, it was too difficult to develop them, and the Vaegir kingdom mainly lacked good farmland to produce enough food to feed a larger population.

What good were abundant mineral and forest resources?

People always need to eat, and wheat was the best grain.

"It's a pity, we have to wait for Lord Shen Mu to conquer this world, otherwise, I feel guilty watching these lands being wasted," Aleren turned his head to look aside, no longer looking at the barren farmland.

Besides, he also needed to take a look around, especially to the west, to see if there was anything unusual at the subway station entrance.

So, Aleren went to the stables below the city walls, mounted his warhorse, and led the Sacred Tree Knights to gallop quickly towards the west.

On the land to the west.

A dozen Khergit Outlaws were patrolling on their steppe horses.

Seeing Aleren and the Sacred Tree Knights coming, they gathered together, came to Aleren, and respectfully placed their hands on their chests and bowed on their warhorses: "Greetings, Your Excellency Aleren."

"Good, very good," Aleren asked, "Has there been anything unusual at the subway station entrance?"

"No, Your Excellency Aleren," the Khergit Outlaws replied respectfully.

"That's good," Aleren nodded, while looking in the direction of the subway station entrance.

After all, the reason he came here was because inside the Su Family Station subway station entrance, there were those quite terrifying and cruel hell demon armies.

He had to be careful.

"But, Your Excellency Aleren," at this time, a Khergit Outlaw hesitantly said, "There is something I need to report to you."

"Something? Speak," Aleren looked at him.

"Last night, we were patrolling on the edge of the darkness and seemed to hear the sound of cavalry galloping in the darkness," the Khergit Outlaw said, "Perhaps I was mistaken, the sound of the cavalry galloping was far away from us, but I think that as a Khergit, I shouldn't be mistaken about the sound of hooves striking the ground."

"Cavalry?" Aleren's face became serious, and he looked at the Khergit Outlaw carefully: "Are you sure? Don't say things like maybe you heard it wrong."

The Khergit Outlaw's face also became serious, and he was seriously pondering.

Among the other Khergit Outlaws next to him, someone's expression changed slightly, and they seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said: "Your Excellency Aleren, if my friend didn't hear it wrong, then I would say that perhaps this is indeed true."

"It should be true, because I also heard the faint sound of cavalry galloping, and the sound of hooves striking the ground was definitely unmistakable."

The other Khergit Outlaws also spoke up.

In fact, they all heard the faint sound of hooves last night.

Although it was very weak, and they didn't care much, thinking it was some auditory hallucination.

But when this Khergit Outlaw said it, they realized that what they heard was not an auditory hallucination, but a genuine sound of hooves.

"You all heard it?" Aleren looked at the Khergit Outlaws. Of course, this was just him asking himself, because when all the Khergit Outlaws said they heard the sound of hooves, he knew.

Last night, a group of cavalry did appear around New Rivacheg in the darkness.

"Your Excellency Aleren, the sound should have been far away from us, and it was very fast and didn't stop, so we all thought we heard an auditory hallucination," the Khergit Outlaws said seriously.

It was also a way to defend themselves.

"I understand, you all pay attention next time, and remember to report any abnormal sounds in time," Aleren also understood their laxity.

After all, the sound of hooves didn't approach the city walls, and it was quite remarkable to be able to faintly hear it and distinguish it.

But this doesn't mean he will relax next. (End of this chapter)
