A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

Thus, after Shen Mu came down the spiral staircase of the tower, his soldiers had already returned to the castle.

Fifteen Swadian infantrymen stood in the front row, followed by thirty Swadian light infantrymen, and next to them were ten veteran Lake Rat Gang thugs, all standing with their chests puffed out, looking arrogant as if they had won a victory.

Shen Mu was a little dumbfounded by the sight.

Especially when he looked at the dome, about 5 meters high and made of stone, the spacious castle hall, and the castle gate made of four-finger-wide wood and iron nails that had been opened, his expression was strange.

These buildings were indeed modified by him using the Magic Ball Modifier.

But it was also the first time he had seen them.

Especially the spacious castle body, which covered half an acre, was like the difference between heaven and earth compared to the 50-square-meter stronghold main house.

"That's really good."

Of course, Shen Mu came to the castle hall, looked up at the magnificent building, and nodded involuntarily.

"Greetings to you! Lord Shen Mu!"

When Shen Mu came over, these Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers, with their heads held high and chests out, heavily punched their chests and respectfully greeted Shen Mu with a heroic air.

"Yes."

Shen Mu nodded, of course he knew that these soldiers had won a victory, so he praised: "You did a good job."

"Everything for the glory you bestowed upon us!"

The Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers responded again.

They were all flushed with excitement.

Being praised by Shen Mu was like the greatest honor to them.

Shen Mu also understood this.

Because in front of his retina, the post-war settlement dialog box from the Mount \u0026 Blade system had just dissipated.

[Ding! Congratulations! You and your subordinates fought bravely and successfully defeated the enemy in a short time!]

[You have completed a perfect victory!]

[Based on the perfect evaluation of the battle! You have obtained 'Silver Treasure Chest' × 1.]

[You have soldiers who can be upgraded.]

"Another Silver Treasure Chest, in that case, I have two treasure chests waiting to be opened."

Shen Mu glanced at the dialog box.

However, what he cared more about were the dense list of soldiers who could be upgraded, which had been omitted at the end.

There were also the names of those farmers and bandits who came out of the Spirit Realm scene and were waiting for subsequent upgrades.

[You have soldiers who can be upgraded:]

[① Swadian farmers × 50, can be upgraded to 'Hired Sentry (10 denars per person) / Swadian Recruit (5 denars per person)'.]

[② Hired Sentry × 10, can be upgraded to 'Hired Crossbowman (50 denars per person)'.]

[③ Bandit × 25, can be upgraded to 'Green Forest Outlaw (20 denars per person) / Lake Rat Gang Newcomer (20 denars per person and requires Lake Rat Gang Training Camp)']

[④ Swadian Light Infantry × 30, can be upgraded to 'Swadian Infantry (100 denars per person) / Swadian Heavy Cavalry (100 denars per person)']

"The end of these two battles has really greatly increased my strength."

The smile on Shen Mu's face did not dissipate as he looked at the content in the dialog box.

Just that the smile on his face stiffened a little, Shen Mu also realized that if he really wanted to upgrade these hundreds of soldiers...

The denars required would be too terrifying!

At least the less than a thousand denars stored in the storage room of Shen Mu's stronghold main house now would not be enough.

"This is extremely embarrassing."

Shen Mu felt helpless in his heart.

The lack of effective ways to obtain denars was one of the problems he was currently facing.

Now the only thing he could rely on.

Was the bandit Narot, who came from a bankrupt merchant background, who had left and not yet returned.

"I wonder when he will come back."

Shen Mu missed him.

Shen Mu shook his head and didn't think too much.

Instead, he looked up.

He saw the guests who were standing foolishly in front of the castle gate, which was not only extremely thick but also 3 meters high.

His ally, partner, and Liu Na, who had obtained the Druid profession of the Spirit Realm.

And her 12 halfling followers.

"Let them come over."

Shen Mu raised his chin and signaled to the soldiers who were still standing there waiting for orders.

"Understood!"

A veteran Lake Rat Gang thug responded, then turned around and, as if inviting and monitoring, brought Liu Na and the 12 apprehensive halflings, who were obviously frightened, to Shen Mu's presence.

Shen Mu was clear that Liu Na and her halflings should have been affected when he used the Magic Ball to modify the terrain.

Then they just happened to come to the castle gate and also noticed Shen Mu's secret.

But it didn't matter.

Now that they knew his secret, Shen Mu looked at the female druid, whose face was still pale, and the halflings next to her, who were known for their diligence and skill, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"I think I can safely entrust the wheat field on the seventh floor to this druid and these halflings."

Shen Mu didn't want to let these ready-made laborers run away.

Moreover, the other party also knew his secret.

"Greetings to you, Lord Shen Mu..."

Liu Na walked over tremblingly, followed by the halfling elder Poro, who also had an extremely astonished look, looking at the castle and Shen Mu, his face full of surprise and awe.

Their attitude towards Shen Mu was even more respectful and fearful.

"Yes."

At this time, Shen Mu came to the head of the castle hall and sat down on the only lord's stone bench.

As if a true nobleman was receiving visiting guests.

To this, Liu Na, who was always socially awkward, and the halflings who were originally from the Spirit Realm, did not feel anything was wrong.

After the changes in the apartment floors and the sudden appearance of the castle, and the fact that Shen Mu's elite soldiers easily defeated the attacking bandits, these halflings and Liu Na really regarded Shen Mu as a high-ranking controller.

Moreover, psychologically, they placed themselves in a weak position.

Of course, the fact was indeed so.

"I have two wheat fields, about two acres of land, and I really need you to help take care of and cultivate them."

Shen Mu spoke directly at this time.

Looking at these halflings who were obviously shocked, he finally looked at the halfling elder Poro, reached out and pointed to the armrest of the chair, which was also carved from stone, and said lightly:

"To express my gratitude to you, I will provide daily food and safe protection, and provide you with the demands you make that I can do, within my power."

Shen Mu was not asking, let alone discussing.

To this, Elder Poro, who was nominally a follower, but in fact had always been the decision-maker for Liu Na, just smiled bitterly.

Then, looking at Liu Na next to him, who was still confused about what it meant, and the young halflings next to him, whose faces still showed panic, he pursed his lips and took half a step forward, respectfully stroking his chest and nodding:

"It is our honor, Lord Shen Mu."

He was very clear.

This was not a multiple-choice question.

"Yes, a wise choice."

Shen Mu nodded, then ordered the Swadian light infantrymen beside him: "Escort them to the stronghold main house on the seventh floor, next they can rest there, and they can move around freely within the scope of the seventh floor."

"Understood!"

Immediately, 10 Swadian light infantrymen walked out of the queue and began to carry out the order.

Halfling elder Poro pulled Liu Na's hand, sighed, said nothing, and walked with these soldiers wearing chainmail, holding longswords and fan-shaped shields, towards the corner of the castle hall, towards the tower with the spiral staircase.

At least in Poro's heart, it was a good thing to have taken refuge in someone who possessed the Lord's Mark and had become a Lord.

Walking on the half-meter-wide spiral staircase.

Poro reached out and touched the heavy wooden stair board and the hard stones next to it, and a bit of surprise appeared on his furry face:

"This texture, this workmanship, it doesn't look like an ordinary border territory, a hastily built simple castle.

It's more like the kind of castle tower in a kingdom territory that has taken decades of a family's efforts to build painstakingly."

He had also traveled through the human kingdom.

He was knowledgeable.

Looking ahead, at the person wearing an iron helmet, wearing a cotton robe and a layer of chainmail, whether it was the longsword at his waist or the fan-shaped shield on his left arm, or the spear in his right hand, he could see the shadow of standardized equipment.

At this time, Poro was even more thoughtful in his heart:

"It seems that this Lord Shen Mu has obtained the lord inheritance of a wealthy kingdom territory!"

Then that would be really good.

At least if it develops, it will have the strength to contend with the undead monsters or villains with ulterior motives.

It can protect them, these halflings, and Liu Na, whom he regards as his daughter, absolutely safely.
