A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

#37 - Diesel Invasion

Geng Jun is dead.

He died at the hands of the four werewolves he had always secretly guarded against, yet still relied upon.

Mo Mote pulled the scimitar from Geng Jun's lower back, watching him clutch his stomach, stiffly turn his head, his face filled with disbelief and anger, and a hint of relief in the depths of his eyes. The grin on his face was no longer concealed:

"Sorry, Lord Geng Jun, compared to him, I don't want to continue following a useless person."

But Geng Jun was no longer able to say anything, because at that moment, a sharp scimitar had already pierced his chest, directly shattering his heart.

He could only utter a 'hoarse' sound from his throat, vomiting a large amount of blood, and finally his eyes glazed over, collapsing to the ground.

His face was filled with anger and distortion, and finally, there was no more sound, completely dead.

"In that case, let's kill our way in."

A triumphant voice appeared in front of Geng Jun's corpse.

Then, more slender figures darted past, entering through the main entrance of the apartment building, kicking open every apartment room, and barging in with scimitars to search.

This attitude was extremely barbaric.

After all, these slender figures wielding scimitars were themselves barbaric races from the wasteland—

Werewolves!

And more than 30 wild goblins, about 1.5 meters tall, squat and stubby like short tree stumps, holding axes or spiked hammers, covered in muscles, and looking equally savage and fierce, rushed towards the higher floors.

'Bang!'

Then came the loud sound of security doors being kicked open.

These 30-plus wild goblins, plus the 13 werewolves, with their crude actions and rough manners, looked no different from robbers.

In fact, when the Spirit Realm had not yet collapsed, these werewolves and wild goblins, who haunted the barren wastelands or desert regions, were notorious robber races!

Now, this kind of kicking open doors and robbing house by house was simply their specialty!

"Lord Zhang, from now on, we are your followers. We hope that the scimitars in our hands can become your sharpest weapons."

In the front hall of the apartment building, Mo Mote, the werewolf with a missing ear, slowly lowered his head, humbly and respectfully offering his allegiance to one of the three humans standing next to him.

And the person standing at the very front was none other than Zhang Caidong, the deputy captain of the twelfth transport team from the Diesel Company.

"Your choice now is wise."

At this time, Zhang Caidong's face was smug, carrying a gleaming scimitar in his hand, and his tone was extremely arrogant:

"I said long ago that if you are tired of Geng Jun, this old fogey, then of course I am willing to accept you."

"Thank you for your kindness."

The werewolf leader, Mo Mote, respectfully lowered his head.

His eyes glanced at Geng Jun's unclosed eyes at his feet, and mockery and sarcasm rose in his green wolf eyes.

Werewolves have always admired violence and the strong.

At first, it thought that Geng Jun was a bigwig of some force, so it chose to be loyal and offered its soul for binding.

But after it really cooperated with Geng Jun, whether it was leaving the core layer of the Diesel Company, or the various restrictions on them werewolves, and even the hopeless and bleak future, it had long caused dissatisfaction and anger in its heart, including the other three werewolves who had sworn allegiance together.

Now that they had found an opportunity to get rid of Geng Jun, their mood would naturally be extremely happy.

Even if the bodies of these four werewolves were gradually becoming illusory, as if turning into shadows and disappearing from this world, it was the same.

This was because after losing the anchor point in Blue Star, that is, after Geng Jun, who chose soul binding, died, these creatures from the Spirit World would be repelled back into the chaotic flow of time and space by Blue Star, returning to the terrifying situation of being sealed by time and space, unable to turn over forever, with only slow thinking knowing that they were trapped.

This was also why, in some cases, creatures from the Spirit World would rather fight to the death to protect the masters they were loyal to.

The eternal seal in the chaotic flow of time and space, the pain of time and space being fixed, but the thinking and soul still thinking, could simply destroy the mind and completely drive it crazy!

Similarly, this was also why many spirit world creatures became emotionally extreme after coming to Blue Star.

It was just being locked in a small dark room for who knows how many years, even if the thinking slowed down, the mind would still collapse from the sinking in countless years of loneliness and darkness, and then become extreme.

Of course, for this werewolf with a missing ear, Mo Mote, it didn't need to care about these things anymore.

It had found a new anchor point.

It had also established contact with its werewolf clan, and as long as there were sufficient fragments of time and space crystal cores, it could once again descend from the time and space seal.

That was Zhang Caidong.

"Please don't forget me, Lord Zhang Caidong."

Just as it was about to completely disappear and turn into nothingness, the werewolf Mo Mote still reminded him.

"Of course."

Zhang Caidong watched the four werewolves disappear, and the smug smile on his face became even more triumphant.

Especially watching his former nemesis, the guy who relied on the previous general manager's favoritism towards him, die in his own hands, the appearance of not being able to close his eyes in death made him even more happy.

There was nothing more enjoyable than killing an enemy you hated to the point of grinding your teeth.

"Deputy Captain Zhang, we agreed this time that if we really find any spirit world imprints, you have to give us brothers some fragments as a reward."

Just at this moment, a similarly sinister voice came from the side, interrupting Zhang Caidong's good mood.

Including two cold gazes staring at his back.

This made Zhang Caidong a little uncomfortable.

But he understood that he still needed the help of these two twin brothers behind him.

Especially the 35 powerful wild goblins in their hands.

"Alright, my Elder Brother Sun and Second Brother Sun, we've known each other for almost a year, don't you trust me?"

Zhang Caidong turned around.

In front of him were two burly men, about 1.6 meters tall, but weighing more than 200 pounds.

Wearing simple leather armor, the left hand was a small wooden shield, and the right hand was a one-handed war hammer inlaid with iron cones at the front, coupled with the nostrils facing the sky, the face full of horizontal flesh, the sinister color in the small eyes squeezed by fat, it really made people wary.

Including Zhang Caidong.

"Deputy Captain Zhang, we brothers usually admire you, we are of course happy that you are taking us to get rich this time, but after all, we have done a side job and are worried, it's better to be careful."

The leading Sun boss hummed and hawed, and his eyes showed even more ferocity: "Also, leave no survivors."

"That's for sure."

Zhang Caidong glanced at this Sun boss, and also the silent Sun Second next to him, nodded politely, turned around and looked at the apartment, his eyes becoming more and more gloomy:

"We've come out and done a few private jobs, when have we ever left a survivor behind?"

As he spoke, he led the Sun brothers into the apartment building.

At this moment, the first floor of the apartment had already been thoroughly searched.

Every security door had been kicked open by those gnolls or wild goblins, and meticulously checked.

Even the few undead monsters or demon monsters that occasionally appeared inside were killed with the weapons in their hands.

This showed that this time, these gnolls and wild goblins were extremely attentive to the search of this apartment building.

From the second floor to the third and fourth floors.

Even the ordinary families living here were dragged out.

Grinning hideously, they forced them all into the corridor, awaiting the arrangements of Zhang Caidong and his three loyalists.

However, Zhang Caidong and the other two Sun brothers didn't even glance at these ordinary people, their faces filled with fear, trembling and afraid to say a word.

They simply waved their hands and casually said:

"We said, leave no one alive. After killing them, you can do whatever you want."

This was clearly intended as a reward for these gnolls and wild goblins.

Upon hearing these words, the ten-odd households, nearly forty ordinary people, didn't even manage to utter two cries before they were all finished off within the corridor by those gnolls and wild goblins, their faces filled with hideous grins and delight.

"Hehehe! Fresh flesh and blood!"

These gnolls and wild goblins, even more gleeful, laughed excitedly, waving the scimitars and axes in their hands, chopping off tender flesh and blood in a few strokes, stuffing it into their mouths and chewing it greedily, their mouths full of blood, dripping onto their bodies, making them even more filthy.

Eating made these gnolls and wild goblins even more elated and cheerful.

Although the fresh flesh and blood of Blue Star could not satisfy their needs.

But after all, it was fresh flesh and blood.

Eating it…

The taste was amazing!

"Vice-Captain Zhang, we've reached the fourth floor. Why haven't we found any traces of the magic fluctuations you mentioned?"

At this moment, the two Sun brothers were becoming somewhat impatient.

The warhammer in their hands gently bounced up and down, especially the elder Sun brother, who was more violent in nature. He glanced towards the stairs at this moment, his tone somewhat tyrannical: "Are we going to waste our time and return empty-handed after coming out for nothing?"

Sun Lao Er also gripped the warhammer in his hand at this moment, coldly glancing at Zhang Caidong.

These two brothers were not good-tempered.

Calling him Vice-Captain Zhang was giving him face.

But this face could also be taken away.

"Don't worry, my fellow villager works in the Quality Inspection Department, specifically responsible for the investigation of magic crystal balls. When have we three brothers ever failed before?"

A shadow of gloom flashed across Zhang Caidong's eyes, but his face still wore a smile. Without turning his head, he pointed to the thirteen gnolls he had brought with him, and walked towards the stairs with them.

"Go!" Seeing this, the Sun brothers glared at those wild goblins who were still eating corpses, and followed them to the stairs, heading to the next floor.

As he walked, Zhang Caidong continued: "The magic fluctuations this time are quite obvious. It seems to be related to an Awakened, and it also seems to be related to a range-type magic. As long as we can take the lead, those guys in the Diesel Company who treat us all as outsiders won't even be able to get a hair behind our butts!"

"That's why we brothers admire Vice-Captain Zhang." The elder Sun brother complimented with a fake smile: "The next time we meet, we brothers will think of you as Captain Zhang, without the Vice."

"Hahaha, man proposes, God disposes." Zhang Caidong arrived at the staircase on the fifth floor.

But at this moment, the corner of his eye suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure flashing by.

"Halfling!"

The gnolls, with their night vision, were even more sharp-eyed, letting out excited howls from their blood-stained mouths, raising the scimitars in their hands, their green eyes filled with greed: "It's the halfling living on the fifth floor that our clansman mentioned!"

"And a druid woman, right?" The two Sun brothers grunted and followed behind, their eyes also filled with excitement.

"Yes." Zhang Caidong nodded: "And on the seventh floor, there seems to be a guy living with human militiamen."

"Then the gnolls and wild goblins under our command might be able to eat their fill!" The two Sun brothers immediately grinned, revealing ugly smiles, and waved their hands forward, shouting: "Charge in, tie up that druid woman, and you can do whatever you want with the other halflings and humans!"

"Hehehe!" Immediately, the wild goblins under the command of these two brothers grinned hideously, howling and rushing into the fifth floor.

The screams of the halflings and the muffled sounds of closing security doors reverberated throughout the entire fifth floor.

"Let's go too."

At this moment, Zhang Caidong's face carried an ambiguous smile as he turned his head to look at the Sun brothers behind him, saying: "I'll give this druid woman to you two brothers as a gift for coming with me this time. What do you think?"

"That's no problem." The younger Sun brother's face was already flushed red, his eyes even wider with greed and lust.

"But if there are crystal core fragments, you have to give us brothers some. After all, we two brothers also have a wild goblin tribe waiting to be released from the space-time seal."

The elder Sun brother solemnly put forward the condition at this time.

"Of course, no problem…" Zhang Caidong laughed, just as he was about to agree, he suddenly felt a slight shake under his feet.

Causing his brows to furrow tightly: "Earthquake!?"

Including the two Sun brothers, they also came back to their senses.

They quickly lowered their bodies slightly, lying on the stairs below them. In this obvious shaking, each of their faces was very unsightly.

But this shaking only lasted for about ten seconds, the time was not long.

Before the three of them could react in the stairwell.

Outside the fire door of the staircase.

Suddenly, there came a clear and sonorous shout that could only be made by humans.

"Stop! State your intentions!"

"…It's the enemy!"

Then there was a burst of subtle whooshing sounds, along with a few excited curses, and the sounds of close combat fighting.

Causing the three people in the stairwell to frown slightly, feeling that something seemed to be wrong.

But based on the information they had learned before.

The strongest in this apartment building was Geng Jun, who owned four gnolls, and had already been killed by them.

The remaining ones.

Wasn't it the young man with a dozen human militiamen, called Shen Mu?

"Heh, I want to see what dares to block our path!"

Zhang Caidong pushed open the fire door, bringing the two Sun brothers in.

But as soon as they came in.

They stood at the entrance of the fire door, dumbfounded, watching the apartment corridor, which in their impression should be narrow, dark, suitable for defense but definitely unable to withstand the attack of their gang of spirit realm robbers, turning into a…

Castle hidden in the floors!
