A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

Accompanied by thunderous vibrations, the Swadian heavy cavalry slowly halted their charge atop the accumulated meter-thick layer of corpses.

Yet, right before these Swadian heavy cavalry, the remaining hundred or so pig-men were utterly routed by their couched lance charge, initiated from inside the castle hall and accelerated over the ten-meter distance to the castle gate!

The leading five Swadian heavy cavalry were like giant hammers, smashing into the bodies of these pig-men.

Coupled with the attack of the next five Swadian heavy cavalry, who entered a charging state again with a ten-meter interval.

These formal employees and pig-men, who had only heard of heavy cavalry charges but never truly faced them, finally witnessed and genuinely experienced the terror of facing a charge head-on!

Each Swadian heavy cavalryman's nearly four-meter lance carried three or four impaled pig-men.

Like candied hawthorns.

However, each Swadian heavy cavalryman, upon completing their charge and skewering the pig-men on their lances, skillfully released the lance, now stuck in the pig-men's bodies, to prevent it from slowing down their warhorse's charge.

They immediately drew their hand-and-a-half swords from their waists, vigorously shaking the reins to urge their warhorses forward.

Simultaneously, they used their slender and sharp hand-and-a-half swords to meet the terrified, dazed pig-men, who were unable to even mount a counterattack in that fleeting moment, sending these ugly, filthy, and stinky creatures of the spirit realm back to their ultimate fate of perishing with the collapsing crystal wall system!

Moreover, even the warhorses ridden by these heavy cavalry, using the force of the charge and their heavy chain barding, heavily collided with these pig-men.

Knocking down those pig-men who had not been pierced by lances or struck by hand-and-a-half swords.

Then, they were targeted again by the second wave of Swadian heavy cavalry charging with lances, and without even struggling, they joined the corpses that filled the entire corridor, returning to the realm of the dead.

From the castle's main gate to the pile of corpses in the corridor, a short distance of only twenty or thirty meters.

These Swadian heavy cavalry completed a perfect charge, crushing and scattering the remaining pig-men!

Even the seven or eight pig-men who had been faintly glowing were mostly lying on the ground.

Victory was assured!

However, Shen Mu had no intention of letting any of the invading pig-men escape, and directly waved his hand forward, issuing the order: "Lake Rat Gang members, advance! Pursue the enemy!"

"Yes!" The Lake Rat Gang members on both sides of the corridor responded excitedly.

Then, they picked up their woodland axes and small axes, watching the pig-men who were still dazed in the corridor, fearfully turning their heads and fleeing in terror, grinning as they strode forward in pursuit.

The corpses on the ground did not become obstacles for these Lake Rat Gang members.

The swamp environment of the Great Lake region was even more muddy and difficult to navigate, and they could still pursue merchants and ordinary people who strayed into the Lake Rat Gang's territory as if walking on flat ground.

Now, pursuing some fat, clumsy, and frightened pig-men was not a problem at all!

The most important thing was that these Lake Rat Gang members all wore leather clothing, not leather armor, and were lightly armed throwing infantry, belonging to the type with high offense and low defense.

In terms of holding the line, they were indeed not as strong as the fourth-tier professional line infantry like the Swadian infantry.

However, in complex environments for pursuit, or charging and raiding the enemy's flanks or rear.

Including the current pursuit.

The effect was truly professional and powerful!

"Kill!" Seeing the Lake Rat Gang members quickly catching up, they didn't even turn their heads, grunting like pigs, wanting to escape into the stairwell, they raised their woodland axes or small axes and struck hard at the back of the pig-men's heads.

The crisp sound of bone cracking appeared, and these pig-men fell asleep headfirst, crashing down in the stairwell.

Before the pig-men running faster in front could react.

'Whoosh!'

The sound of air being torn apart appeared.

The Lake Rat Gang members who still had one or two harpoons or fish darts left threw them fiercely at these pig-men who were fleeing along the zigzagging stairs, who were practically within reach, nailing those pig-men to the stairs again.

Especially with the last formal employee, who was faintly glowing, having his neck pierced by a harpoon.

Before Shen Mu's eyes, the dialog box finally appeared.

Dense dialog boxes appeared on Shen Mu's retina, all about the results of this battle.

"It's really the expected harvest." A faint smile appeared on Shen Mu's face, looking at the content of the dialog box that only he could see on his retina, the originally troubled mood caused by the fierce battle gradually became relaxed.

Victory does make people feel happy.

What's more.

This was still a victory of the few over the many, the weak over the strong, an epic great victory!

Shen Mu knew that this was indeed because he had built the stronghold and castle in this huge apartment building, thereby giving those who underestimated him and did not make sufficient reconnaissance preparations, so they chose to be careless and rash, allowing him to win this battle with ample prior preparation.

Also, it was because he had annihilated those formal employees sent by the Diesel Company and killed the vast majority of the spirit realm creatures.

That he obtained this epic victory.

"Golden Treasure Chest, and various rewards, as well as the Magic Ball Modifier's new permission, the Village Template."

Shen Mu scanned the reward content again.

His eyebrows twitched slightly.

He also saw the hint at the bottom: "Once deployed, it can upgrade the existing stronghold into a village in the Mount \u0026 Blade Warband world, using an ordinary Swadian village as a template, including corresponding buildings and population, as well as subsequent construction and upgrades that can be carried out."

Shen Mu nodded slightly.

At the same time, hiding the dialog box on his retina, looking at the dense pile of corpses in the narrow corridor in front of him, the scene was a mess of a battlefield, and he couldn't help but purse his lips.

This environment was terrible.

Moreover, building the main body of the castle inside an apartment building can only produce a surprise attack effect once.

Being able to achieve this great victory does not mean that the next time will also achieve a great victory.

After all, this time he offended not those mindless undead monsters.

But a group of Blue Star humans who understand various tactics, know how to besiege, cut off supply lines, or use fire attacks and smoke attacks to target the special terrain of apartments.

Next time, as long as they prepare targeted tactics, it is protection, but also Shen Mu being trapped in a turtle shell…

Then it will definitely be dangerous!

"Then let's build a real village and castle."

Shen Mu made a decision in his heart.

At the same time, looking at the Lake Rat Gang members who had completed the pursuit and returned, as well as the Swadian infantry who were still squatting in the corner or on the corpses, panting heavily and resting, he felt a lot of security in his heart.

Shen Mu greeted inside the castle hall: "Order the Swadian recruits to clean up the battlefield!"

"Understood!"

One of the Swadian heavy cavalrymen next to him dismounted, ignoring the blood stains on his body, and entered the castle hall to convey Shen Mu's order.

Soon, those Swadian recruits came out, holding their long-handled scythes, and began to clean up the battlefield one by one.

They completely finished off those pig-men who had not completely died.

By the way, they carefully collected those iron-made flail hammers, or the leather armor on the pig-men, as well as those crossbow bolts, javelins, and fish harpoons and darts that were stuck all over the corpses, and put them aside after classifying them.

Although some of these consumables were already cracked or bent, some were still intact.

A little washing and they could be used again.

And Shen Mu discovered that these arrows or javelin-like weapons that were shot out would not disappear automatically like in the game after using the effect of the low-level supply ring to replenish the empty quiver or empty backpack with ranged consumable weapons.

Instead, they would still remain in this world.

It could be considered a small bug.

But this was indeed reasonable.

At least Shen Mu was quite satisfied.

"Being able to obtain extra supplies is of course good." Shen Mu also showed a slight smile.

"Lord Shen Mu!" Just as Shen Mu was about to return to the castle hall, a surprised voice from a Swadian recruit suddenly sounded.

"Hmm?" Shen Mu turned his head to look, his brows furrowing slightly: "What is that?!"

'Buzz!'

Next to one of the Swadian recruits, a wisp of white light was still gathering on the chest of a huge, fat pig-man.

Then, right before Shen Mu's eyes, it gathered into a tiny, crystal-like object shimmering with white light, slowly rotating in a position half a meter off the ground.

This caused a trace of disbelief to appear in Shen Mu's eyes, and he subconsciously blurted out: "Spirit Realm Mark!"
