A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

The dialogue box appeared somewhat abruptly on Shen Mu's retina.

It originated from a system task that was temporarily issued.

“Awoo!”

Inside the central corridor, the howl, distinctly like that of a wild boar, echoed even more intensely within the confined space, causing a faint throbbing in the eardrums.

The already tightly packed corridor opened up, creating a passage.

More bizarre and grotesque spirit creatures, brandishing their weapons, charged ferociously towards the unwavering Swadian infantry, who stood firm like reefs!

Among these spirit creatures, there were clearly some leader-level beings, their bodies emitting a faint white glow.

But Shen Mu was very clear.

These were the Blue Star humans who had just devoured that speck of faint light, so obvious even in the dimness, but he didn't know what it was!

Some thugs from the Diesel Company!

“The system said it was a special rule power; it seems it’s referring to this kind of thing.”

Shen Mu watched those Blue Star humans who resembled spirit creatures but were emitting a faint glow, a clear characteristic, and his expression turned slightly grim.

That shimmering thing those Blue Star humans swallowed just now was definitely what the system was talking about: something with special rule power that needed to be analyzed after killing the enemy leaders!

“Exterminate all these enemy leaders.” Shen Mu pondered: “That is, make sure they all die here.”

This indeed required careful planning.

Thinking of this, Shen Mu turned his head and glanced at the crossbow next to him, which was already loaded with a bolt and ready to fire, and gently gestured to stop firing.

The crossbow's power was too great; the bolts fired could certainly cause great damage to the enemy's formation in a short time.

But if those so-called enemy leaders were frightened and dared not come forward easily,

or even turned around and retreated without any intention of fighting,

then for Shen Mu, who lacked the ability to pursue, it would be quite troublesome.

“Indeed, ultimately, I only considered defeating the enemy before, not annihilating them completely. The design of the apartment building corridor does limit the maneuverability of heavy cavalry.”

Shen Mu admitted that this was his oversight.

Looking at the scene before him.

The Swadian infantry's spear formation once again faced a new wave of spirit creature attacks.

Including those Diesel Company guys who used tools with special rule power to transform themselves into stronger, more frenzied, and more powerful spirit creature elites, he had an idea in his mind.

“I must show weakness and make them think they can break through my spear formation.”

Shen Mu's eyes flashed with a dangerous light.

And the price.

Perhaps it would be the Swadian infantry and the Lake Rat Gang members behind them who would suffer casualties because of the spear formation that was about to be breached.

“But all of this is worth it.” Shen Mu slowly raised his hand and said in a deep voice: “All hired crossbowmen, cease firing.” Pausing slightly, he turned his head and instructed: “Order the Lake Rat Gang members to stop throwing and prepare for close combat ten steps forward.”

“Understood!” A Swadian recruit waiting in the corridor on the second floor of the castle responded immediately.

Then he turned and went to convey the order.

As the order was issued.

When those contract workers from the outsourcing team, leading their spirit followers, pounced forward.

They suddenly felt the pressure sharply decrease!

The firepower that those pig-headed men among the beastmen, who were originally being slaughtered in front of the spear formation, unable to even touch the spear formation, and being shot to death on the spot by the deadly rain of arrows and javelins, had decreased by nearly two-thirds!

Although there were still sparse crossbow bolts raining down from above, which could still severely injure them if they hit a vital point.

More jackals, desert lizardmen, or earth goblins and other spirit creatures.

Were actually able to withstand the damage caused by these crossbow bolts and come to the spear formation, using the weapons in their hands to briefly push aside the spears that were thrusting at them, and still barely use their lives to approach the main body of the spear formation.

They were already performing much, much better than the pig-headed men among the beastmen!

“Kill!” These Blue Star human spirit creature elites roared, commanding their own kind of followers to move forward, using their lives to forcibly open a path in front of the spear formation.

However, these Blue Star humans, the outsourcing captains from the Diesel Company, still had a look of pain in their eyes.

Losing so many followers was really unavoidable.

This would reduce their strength.

The resonance between the bound souls and these spirit followers would also be greatly weakened in normal times.

“I hope the Diesel Company can compensate for some of the losses when we get back.”

This was the good reward that these outsourcing team captains could hope for: “Or, because of the merit of defeating this human new lord, there might be a chance to sign a long-term contract, completely join the Diesel Company, and become a formal employee!”

Of course, not only did these outsourcing teams think this way, but the team members thought the same way.

They were originally outsourcing personnel who had been with the Diesel Company for a long time.

Some had even been working at the Diesel Company through third-party companies before the Necromantic Rule descended.

They could be considered relatively trustworthy outsourcing personnel.

Therefore, the ninth and tenth outsourcing teams were also more trusted outsourcing teams.

Compared to the eleventh and twelfth outsourcing teams, these two fixed temporary worker outsourcing teams were trusted much more than just a little bit. After all, the people in these two fixed temporary worker outsourcing teams didn't even have the qualifications to receive fragmented imprints.

For example, Zhang Caidong, who had only joined for about half a year, was really only being treated as a temporary worker.

He did dirty and tiring work.

The salary, remuneration, and distribution of benefits he received were two-thirds less than those of formal employees!

But compared to the temporary teams that were formed entirely of outsiders, starting from the twelfth outsourcing team, which only assembled during the Black Tide, they were much better off because they had a relatively fixed salary, which made them seem much better than those who had not been able to join the Diesel Company's teams!

Now, in this terrifying world where the Necromantic Rule occupies the night and undead monsters appear at all times.

Although everyone is forced to unite for various reasons.

However, in the first half year after the Necromantic Rule first descended, when everyone was confused and at a loss, the feuds and malicious acts caused by various resources led to everyone distrusting each other, and they could only curl up in their own small nests to seek a sense of security, and even now they have not recovered their trust in each other.

Being able to join an organization would at least guarantee safety, which would certainly be much better!

“Kill!”

Thinking of this, a burst of anger appeared in the eyes of these outsourcing personnel from the Diesel Company.

Bloodshot eyes unconsciously appeared in their pupils.

Carrying anger, hatred, killing intent.

As well as a greedy desire for blood…

They drew their weapons and actually disregarded the sharp spear formation in front of them, which was like a surging wave, and forcibly supported it with their bodies!

Of course, rushing to the front were still the spirit followers of these outsourcing personnel from the Diesel Company.

Each one was howling, using their lives to start forcibly resisting those spear formations.

Even if they reached out and grabbed the spearhead.

They would do their best to suppress the spears of this hedgehog-like spear formation, so that their companions behind could get closer to the main body of the spear formation and break through the spear formation faster!

And just in the fearless charge of these spirit creatures, the originally smooth-running spear formation.

The stabbing waves finally slowly became sluggish.

More and more spears were grabbed.

Or directly stuck.

Layers of spirit creature corpses rushed over.

The Swadian infantry in the front row, even because they were completely pressed under the corpses and could not pull out their spears, took out the nail-studded hammer from their waists, which was more suitable for extremely close-range combat and could also break armor, and prepared for close-range combat!

“Heh heh heh ha ha ha ha!”

And just behind the corridor, Wu Hu, leading his 15 subordinates who had also completed the resonance and transformed into elite spirit creature leaders, let out a ferocious laugh.

In his left hand, a trace of blood-red light was gradually dissipating.

And in the process of dissipating, it happened to be the hundreds of contract workers from the outsourcing team and their spirit creature followers in front of him.

These blood-red rays of light finally fell on the heads of these people or spirit followers.

Directly sinking into them.

This was also why these outsourced contract workers and their followers were so angry.

“Group Bloodlust Technique, the beastmen's innate spell, although not as good as Single Bloodlust Technique, the effect is still very obvious.”

In Wu Hu's eyes, the bloodshot eyes gradually thickened.

He pinched out the last bit of faint blood-red light in his palm.

His pig mouth cracked at the corners, grinning and sneering: “The spear formation is about to be broken, and next, it's time for us, our own people, to rush up and pick the peaches!”

“Heh ha ha ha!”

Not only Wu Hu, but the formal employees around him all let out sneers.

Now, they were also eagerly waiting to completely defeat those human troops!
