A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

At the stairwell, new recruits from the Lake Rat Gang, dressed in layered leather armor and moving with agility and speed, were carefully observing.

They were also acting as sentries.

Upon hearing the noisy footsteps coming from the corridor, along with the excited shouts, their expressions drastically changed, and they turned and ran towards the castle.

Over there, more Lake Rat Gang members were gathering, almost completely filling the 10-meter-wide central corridor.

After all, there were 10 veteran Lake Rat Gang members and 25 new recruits.

Seeing the new recruit running back quickly, the faces of the Lake Rat Gang members became serious. Their initially carefree appearances turned formal as they moved their shoulders and arms.

Because they all knew what it meant for this new Lake Rat Gang member to run back with a grim face.

Moreover, as he reached them, he shouted towards the back:

"Report to Lord Shen Mu! Enemies are attacking! Prepare for battle!"

"Understood!"

A deep, muffled voice responded from behind the Lake Rat Gang members.

It was a Swadian Footman.

Upon hearing this, he immediately pushed aside his Swadian Footman comrades, who were resting on the ground with their spears, and quickly walked towards the castle.

The wooden door of the castle, several centimeters thick, was now open with a gap of half a meter.

The footman quickly walked inside.

Ten Swadian Heavy Cavalry, already mounted on their warhorses, fully armored with chainmail, and equipped with lances nearly 4 meters long, were coldly watching him, twitching the reins, and soothing their steeds, which were pawing at the ground, eager to fight as they sensed the coming battle.

But the footman didn't care. Instead, he continued past these Heavy Cavalry, who were also Tier 4 soldiers.

He glanced at the Swadian Recruits holding scythes.

Seeing their equally eager and fearless expressions, he nodded slightly.

This was the indomitable spirit of the Swadians!

Then, he took the spiral staircase of the tower and arrived at the balcony on the second floor of the castle.

Surrounded by a group of hired crossbowmen and sentries, Lord Shen Mu's back, clad in shining silver chainmail that seemed to glow even in the dim corridor, appeared before him.

The Swadian Footman immediately reported: "Lord Shen Mu, enemies are approaching in the corridor!"

"Yes, I know."

Shen Mu was standing within the embrasure of the balcony, looking towards the entrance at the end of the corridor, and slightly raised his right arm as if to acknowledge the report.

Then, the Swadian Footman respectfully saluted again, picked up his spear, and turned to go back.

In fact, when the new Lake Rat Gang recruit returned,

Shen Mu already knew that the enemies were coming.

The second floor of the castle was only seven or eight meters above the ground, so he could hear the new Lake Rat Gang recruit's voice.

But these were the rules of the battlefield.

Reporting was necessary.

After all, even though he currently held a geographical advantage by placing the castle in the apartment,

if Shen Mu were to deploy the castle in the wilderness, spreading out a large number of buildings to form a true stronghold under the protection of the castle, then real-time battlefield reports would become even more important as the area expanded.

Now, he had to cultivate this good habit.

And beside Shen Mu,

the ballista from the roof of the main building of the stronghold had already been moved down by the hired sentries.

It was set up in the center of the balcony.

"Load!"

As the hired crossbowman acting as commander spoke, the three hired sentries responsible for operating the ballista immediately began to busily turn the winch.

The creaking sound of the winch appeared, and then, a 1-meter-long bolt was locked into the firing groove.

The sharp iron tip of the bolt was aimed at the corridor.

Including those around him.

The 10 hired crossbowmen and 20 hired sentries on the towers and balcony all drew their crossbow strings, loaded their bolts, and prepared for battle in advance.

Because as they made this move, they had already heard it.

At the end of the corridor.

With a loud 'Bang!', the fire door was kicked open, and then a stream of enemies pouring out of the stairwell, howling, appeared before them!

The enemies were here!

"Kill!"

With arrogant and excited shouts, led by pig-men wearing leather armor, wielding flails, stout and strong, and about 1.7 meters tall.

These attacking enemies didn't even bother to carefully observe the terrain, and immediately launched a general attack!

"Oink! Oink oink oink!"

The pig-men were waving the flails in their hands, looking at the humans in front of them, extremely excited!

In the eyes of these pig-men, the smell emanating from these humans was obviously different from those bland, tasteless humans from Blue Star, who could only provide a sense of novelty, like eating wax!

The humans of Blue Star did not have the taste of a soul that truly belonged to the rules of the Spirit Realm.

Even if they were fresh and tender, they would be unappetizing.

However, humans with souls, or rather, humans with rules, were different.

If they could kill a human, then eating them would definitely be fragrant and juicy, with a smooth texture, and even a rough chew would give a sense of satisfaction from the bottom of their hearts.

It was really delicious!

So, when these pig-men, and even the other Spirit Realm creatures crowding up behind them,

saw these humans,

one by one,

they really couldn't hold back!

"Lake Rat Gang members! Prepare! Throw spears!"

However, for the Lake Rat Gang members standing in the front row, who were about to launch the first attack, their faces did not change at all when facing these strange-looking otherworldly creatures with pig heads.

Instead, under the command of the veteran Lake Rat Gang thug who was temporarily acting as captain, they completed the switching of their secondary weapons.

The harpoons or fish darts.

At this moment, they were held in the right hands of these Lake Rat Gang members, looking at the charging pig-men.

Then, because the distance was relatively long, they slowly walked forward for more than ten meters.

The central corridor of the apartment was about 70 meters long.

The location where the Lake Rat Gang members were deployed was 50 meters away from the fire door.

And the throwing and killing distance of the javelins in their hands was often around 20 meters.

Therefore, taking two steps forward,

watching the pig-men rushing closer and closer.

The veteran Lake Rat Gang thugs in the first row finally ushered in their throwing and killing distance.

'Swish swish swish swish!'

With bursts of heavy whistling sounds, these veteran Lake Rat Gang thugs threw all the harpoons in their hands, skillfully and fiercely, at the chaotic, rushing, and unorganized pig-men in front of them.

Then, these veteran Lake Rat Gang thugs didn't even look at the results of the battle, and turned around and ran quickly towards the back.

Because behind these veteran Lake Rat Gang thugs, the new Lake Rat Gang recruits, also holding fish darts,

were now rushing forward at the same time.

And stretched out their hands to throw their fish darts!

'Swish swish swish swish!'

A series of heavy whistling sounds appeared again.

These new Lake Rat Gang recruits also did not look at the results of their throws.

Then they turned their heads and ran backwards.

Just right.

They came behind the veteran Lake Rat Gang thugs.

And in front, a new round of new Lake Rat Gang recruits came to the front, looking at the dozen or so pig-men who had fallen down, and the larger number of pig-men behind them.

They raised their fish darts again and threw them fiercely forward!

'Swish swish swish swish!'

Heavy whistling sounds appeared one after another.

As a notorious bandit and robber organization near the Great Lakes, the Lake Rat Gang members were very familiar with this tactic of throwing javelins back and forth.

You must know that they could not always bully those civilians or caravans.

If they encountered regular troops.

They were well-equipped regular troops with armor and shields who were suppressing bandits.

Once a conflict occurred.

It was obviously unwise to rush up and fight hand-to-hand.

Using javelins to break through the opponent's armor and shields, and using retreat to lure the opponent deep into the ambush that their Lake Rat Gang had prepared in advance.

Then, let the surrounding companions swarm up.

Completely eliminate the enemy.

This tactic.

Was originally the forte of the Lake Rat Gang members!

Otherwise, in the chaotic Mount \u0026 Blade world, why could their Lake Rat Gang family become a small force, occupy the Great Lakes area, and have such a high strategic value that even the Sturgian Kingdom had to look at them with respect?

'Swish swish swish swish!'

Heavy whistling sounds appeared again.

Now, it was time for the veteran Lake Rat Gang thugs to throw their harpoons.

Looking at the pig-men falling down one after another in front of them, the painful howls and angry howls that began to surge in the corridor, as if they were deafening and about to tear the eardrums.

The members of this Lake Rat Gang showed a strange smile on the corners of their mouths.

Then they turned their heads and ran backwards.

Because at this time.

The Swadian Footmen, who had deliberately left three gaps for these Lake Rat Gang members, had formed a spear formation and began to step forward.

Then, after all the Lake Rat Gang members had passed through the gaps, they raised the spears in their hands.

Facing the extremely large number of pig-men.

They met them head-on!

'Whoosh whoosh whoosh—'

Just at this moment, a breeze that seemed to appear from the dome of the castle, rustled through the wheat fields, through the main building of the stronghold, through the castle hall…

And then brushed over the heads of these Swadian Footmen.

The breeze from the Suno plains was blowing!
