A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

“Kill!”

As Shen Mu came down from the first level of the underground garage, a fierce battle had already begun at the entrance of the ramp on the second level.

The scene entered a white-hot stage in just a few minutes!

Fully armed Swadian sergeants in the front, Swadian militiamen in the rear, like the most solid reef, stubbornly resisting the waves of attacks from the skeleton warriors rushing out of the darkness with various weapons, standing firm!

“Skeleton warriors.” Of course, Shen Mu recognized what these skeletons, covered in relatively intact armor with a certain degree of protection, were.

They were the advanced form of ordinary low-level skeletons, with tougher bones throughout their bodies.

The fire of their souls burned more vigorously.

Their negative energy was stronger.

Their combat power was equally powerful, making them the true main force among the skeleton-type undead monsters!

‘Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!’

Just as Shen Mu came down, watching those skeleton warriors rushing towards the Swadian soldiers' shield wall and spear formation from the darkness, wielding spears, lances, scimitars, and shields.

A series of sharp, whistling sounds suddenly appeared from the darkness, accompanied by black shadows.

“Shields!” The expression on the face of the experienced thug from the Lake Rat Gang suddenly changed.

Raising the kite shields in their hands, they formed two shield walls in front of Shen Mu.

‘Clang clang clang clang clang clang!’

Then the kite shields shook slightly a few times.

Seven or eight tail feathers, already blackened and decayed, with even the arrow shafts faintly black, looking incredibly evil, were already nailed to the shields.

“Watch out for archers!” These experienced thugs from the Lake Rat Gang warned.

Because behind them.

Many villagers waiting at the double-ramp, holding torches, not only didn't have shields to use, but even wore thin, coarse linen robes.

These were fine for everyday use, such as covering the body, blocking the wind, and slightly warding off the cold.

But on the battlefield.

This kind of coarse linen clothing was no different from being naked against those sharp arrows, scimitars, and longswords.

As long as you were unlucky and hit in a vital spot by these arrows shot from the darkness, you would die.

They had to hide and avoid the damage from the ranged archers.

“The combat power of these skeleton warriors is much stronger than those ordinary skeletons.”

Shen Mu's expression became serious at this time, taking the Holy Tree Cavalry Shield from the hook on his back and putting it on his left arm.

Pushing aside the two experienced thugs from the Lake Rat Gang who were protecting him, he came to the rear of the Swadian militiamen.

Watching the skeleton warriors charging over in groups from the darkness and gray fog.

Then being turned into scattered bone fragments all over the ground by the Swadian sergeants and militiamen, yet still charging over continuously in large numbers, a thought stirred in his heart:

“My soldiers should gain more experience points for killing these skeleton warriors, according to the Mount \u0026 Blade rules.”

If that was the case.

Then the villagers who had come over, even though they didn't personally enter the brutal front-line melee.

Perhaps they would level up faster!

“That would be great.”

A smile appeared on the corner of Shen Mu's mouth.

Watching the black shadows that appeared again in the darkness ahead, and the shrill whistling sound of tearing through the air.

He subconsciously raised the Holy Tree Cavalry Shield on his left hand.

‘Thud!’

A force immediately came from his left arm.

At the same time, with the muffled sound of impact, an arrow with a cracked shaft had already been added to the Holy Tree Cavalry Shield on Shen Mu's left arm.

And on the shields of the Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers around Shen Mu, there were also thirty or forty more arrows.

Obviously, in the darkness and gray fog.

The skeleton archers among those undead monsters had clearly launched another round of arrow rain!

Even in Shen Mu's feeling, the number of skeleton archers appearing in the darkness seemed to have increased!

Just like the skeleton warriors in front of him, who were still crunching and rushing out of the darkness and gray fog, the number was increasing, and they were also raising their decayed and tattered spears and lances, appearing in spear formations in a seemingly organized manner, confronting them!

Unfortunately, even though these skeleton warriors were much stronger than skeletons.

But facing the fifth-tier Swadian sergeants, who had completed their advancement through fighting on the battlefield, these top-tier front-line infantry still had no way to deal with them!

The cone-headed spears in the hands of the Swadian sergeants were nearly 4 meters long.

These sergeants' arms were also full of muscles.

Using the strength of their waists and abdomens.

Even holding the spear with one hand, the force and angle of the thrust were both fierce and accurate.

Compared to skeletons, these were much stronger.

But they were still clumsy in movement, slow to move, and didn't know how to cooperate with each other, only knowing to fight according to the obsessions left over from their lives. In one encounter, they would be scattered into useless bone fragments all over the ground again.

Even if some skeleton warriors circled to the sides, they were still helpless against those experienced thugs from the Lake Rat Gang!

The experienced thugs from the Lake Rat Gang also wore kite shields on their left arms and held woodland axes in their right hands.

Facing this kind of melee, they cooperated with each other.

Using the shields to block the spears and lances that were poked over, and then swinging the woodland axes to break the already decayed gun shafts or spear shafts.

Then, relying on the characteristics of the kite shields that could protect half of their bodies.

With a few flexible advances.

Coming to the side of the skeleton warriors, swinging the woodland axes, they easily cracked and shattered the skulls that gleamed with a little metallic luster.

Directly causing the fire of the souls inside to shake violently, destroying the circuit of negative energy.

They also turned these skeleton warriors into bone fragments all over the ground!

Even with their advances.

Plus the illumination of the torches.

In the entrance area of the double ramp on the second level of this underground garage.

Whether it was the cooperation of the Swadian sergeants and militiamen, or the cooperation of these experienced thugs from the Lake Rat Gang and the bandits.

In addition, Bandak ordered free shooting, starting to accurately snipe those skeleton warriors with the hired crossbowmen.

They actually began to advance towards the deeper positions.

So that those so-called skeleton warriors, even if the number was increasing, and archers occasionally shot arrows at them from the darkness.

But it still couldn't hide the fact that Shen Mu was leading his troops to continue sweeping the entire second level of the underground garage!

“Lord Shen Mu, I seem to have found the general direction of those archers.”

At this time, Bandak looked up at the darkness on the second level of the underground garage.

Even though darkness and black fog still shrouded it, relying on the intuition honed on the battlefield, he said affirmatively: “If we launch an assault in that direction, we might be able to find those archers and directly eliminate these annoying guys!”

Although the archers' attacks couldn't break the armor of these Swadian sergeants.

But.

It could still pose a threat to the Lake Rat Gang members and those unarmored villagers and bandits.

Including those hired crossbowmen wearing cotton robes.

If they were slightly careless.

They would also be injured by those skeleton archers in the darkness, resulting in casualties!

Shen Mu also understood that the best situation now was to take advantage of the fierce momentum of continuing to advance deeper, find those skeleton archers.

Then completely kill them to solve the problem of having to be careful of sneak attacks at all times!

“Then let's do it.” So Shen Mu nodded.

This was also what Shen Mu wanted to do.

“Lake Rat Gang members, follow me!” Shen Mu reached out and pulled out the Holy Tree Cavalry Sword from its scabbard at his waist, then cut off the arrow nailed to it.

Looking at the 25 experienced thugs from the Lake Rat Gang who had gathered around, he led the team and rushed forward.

“Also, those bandits!” At this time, Bandak looked at Shen Mu taking the lead in charging, with some anxiety on his face, but he didn't stop him. Instead, he turned his head and said in a deep voice to the 30 bandits: “Light the torches and follow behind those Lake Rat Gang guys, be careful to keep the torches burning!”

“Understood!” The 30 bandits didn't hesitate at this time.

Grasping the butcher knives tightly in their right hands, and holding the torches high in their left hands, they quickly followed the experienced thugs from the Lake Rat Gang.

Trying to let the light of the torches dispel the surrounding darkness and gray fog.

And Bandak took over the command in the process.

This was all tacit understanding on the battlefield.

“Hired crossbowmen!” Bandak spoke again in a deep voice: “Launch a volley in the direction of the enemy archers' shooting!”

“Understood!” The 30 hired crossbowmen who had followed immediately raised the war crossbows in their hands.

Then they pulled the triggers, and a row of war crossbows fired a volley at close range, whistling and disappearing into the darkness.

Accompanying the sounds of crossbow bolts hitting bone or armor.

The bandits' torches illuminated the way.

Ahead on the road.

Four or five skeletal warriors gleaming with metallic luster, wielding scimitars or longsword and shields, had just been scattered on the ground, their heads or joints struck.

But before these skeletal warriors could react.

Shen Mu, clad in what appeared to be shining silver heavy chain armor, a white linen robe draped over it, wielding a gleaming Holy Tree Cavalry Sword, and bracing a shield with his left arm, fearlessly charged in!

Possessing the complete template of a fourth-tier Holy Tree cavalryman from the Mount \u0026 Blade: Warband - Pendor's Prophecy world.

Including all combat experience and skills.

Coupled with a calm demeanor.

This created Shen Mu, based on the Holy Tree cavalryman template, an enhanced version, whose skills and spellcasting abilities made him a fifth-tier soldier.

Truly powerful!

"Kill!"

Moreover, followed by the Lake Rat Gang's seasoned thugs, wielding woodland axes, their faces contorted with ferocity and excitement.

They instantly reduced the hordes of skeletal warriors into bone fragments scattered across the ground.

Crashing and collapsing onto the ground!

Setting off Shen Mu...

As if he were unleashing a 'Musou' attack among these skeletal warriors!

In a devastating manner.

He burst through the battle formation formed by these skeletal warriors.

Seeing the skeletal archers behind them, drawing blackened fletched arrows from their quivers!

'Clang!' Shen Mu's Holy Tree Cavalry Shield directly blocked a scimitar slash.

The rusted, blackened scimitar, upon striking the shield, suffered four or five bean-sized chips on its blade due to the immense force.

Even the handle showed visible signs of decay, with wood shavings falling due to the encroaching power of the undead.

If it endured four or five more such strikes.

Without anyone else's intervention.

This weapon used by the skeletal warrior would shatter completely, turning into useless scrap metal!

But this skeletal warrior would not get the chance.

"Kill!"

Right beside Shen Mu, a Lake Rat Gang veteran thug delivered a flying kick, sending a skeletal warrior attempting to slash at Shen Mu flying.

His woodland axe descended from above, bringing its heavy force and sharp blade down.

'Bang!'

With a muffled thud.

The skeletal warrior's skull was instantly shattered, its soul flame flickering and abruptly extinguished, the entire skeleton collapsing into a pile of debris.

However, this scene was merely a microcosm of the rapid battle unfolding around Shen Mu!

These Lake Rat Gang veteran thugs, clad in multiple layers of leather, not even considered light armor, were incredibly agile.

With high attack and low defense, they fully exploited the advantages of melee combat.

Like a meat grinder.

Quickly reaping the soul flames of the skeletal warriors wielding scimitars or longsword and round shields, rather than polearms.

Sending them all back to the silent realm where the dead belonged!

No match for them!

"Stay close to me!"

"Kill!"

Shen Mu adjusted his breathing, his Holy Tree Cavalry Sword swinging once more.

Shattering two skeletal warriors that lunged at him.

Looking around at the dim environment, he briefly oriented himself.

Using the light from the torches held by the bandits still within the range of the Swadian soldiers and militiamen's formation.

Then, turning around, he charged towards the backs of the skeletal spearmen and pikemen!

Although the Swadian soldiers and Swadian militiamen were also advancing.

Their progress was undoubtedly much slower when facing a spear phalanx.

Moreover, the Swadian soldiers and militiamen needed to protect the villagers charging down from behind, wielding pitchforks and wooden clubs.

Therefore, when Shen Mu charged from behind towards those clumsy skeletal pikemen who were too slow to react.

Attacking from both sides.

He instantly turned those skeletal pikemen, who couldn't even resist, into stationary training dummies, each swing of his weapon shattering them into piles of scattered bones!

Only needing to strike the back of their heads to kill them, it was so simple it didn't even require thought!

"Switch to two-handed spears! Ten steps forward! Advance!"

At this moment, Bandak seized the crucial opportunity and issued the order: "All villagers! Follow forward! Attack!"

Facing a successful rear charge by their own forces, the morale of the front-line troops naturally soared!

The villagers who charged down from the first level of the underground garage, seeing this scene, became even more excited, raising their weapons and striding forward, following behind the Swadian soldiers and militiamen, eager to beat a drowning dog.

Stepping on the bones that had become brittle and fragmented after losing their soul flames and the entanglement of negative energy.

They actually charged and killed even more aggressively!

If there were only six or seven hundred skeletons or zombies, these low-level undead monsters, wandering on the first level of the underground garage.

Then on the second level of the underground garage.

What appeared were skeletal warriors who retained a certain degree of organization and battlefield combat ability, their lives filled with obsessions.

Yet, these villagers remained fearless.

Following the Swadian soldiers and militiamen, who were like a sharp knife at the front.

They charged deep into the monsters, who were more numerous and organized like an undead army, engaged in a fierce battle, as if they were a flood!

"No wonder in the memories of the predecessor, the survivors on Blue Star, even the professionals or lords, are so wary of these underground garages or skyscrapers, and those large shopping malls and complexes."

Shen Mu slowed his charging pace, feeling that his stamina was being depleted too quickly.

After all, he had just charged through a horde of skeletal warriors.

Even the chainmail and linen robe on his body had some scratches and a few torn places.

Not to mention the surface of the shield on his left arm.

Which was riddled with dents and knife marks.

However, there was no fear on Shen Mu's face, looking at the surrounding dim environment, as the numerous torches began to illuminate a small portion of the second level of the underground garage, he could vaguely see the dusty appearance of many abandoned vehicles and building interiors.

Finally, he focused his gaze on the fragmented bone shards scattered all over the ground.

Shen Mu pursed his lips:

"This is also why I have the Mount \u0026 Blade system, and a continuous stream of soldiers and civilians appearing from the Mount \u0026 Blade system, and can also be promoted through war."

A continuous stream of soldiers equals a continuous stream of manpower.

He also doesn't need to consume Spirit Realm Marks or Crystal Core Fragments like other humans summoning Spirit Realm creatures as followers, summoning them from the fragmented, time and space-lacking Phantasy-side Crystal Wall System to become his helpers.

Among them, he also needs to carefully resonate with these Spirit Realm creatures on a soul level.

Only then can he perfectly require these Spirit Realm creatures to obey his commands.

Shen Mu doesn't need to do anything.

He is human.

And also of the Human race.

Moreover, he also has top-level authority over the Mount \u0026 Blade system.

The summoned Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers and personnel are permanently and steadfastly loyal.

Plus, fighting in this world.

Is also considered combat experience.

Which can be directly promoted by the Mount \u0026 Blade system at the rule level.

Compared to those Blue Star humans who still need to painstakingly cultivate those Spirit Realm creatures, it's simply like a fool's operation, an extremely simple operation!

This, it can be said, is Shen Mu's golden finger!

And just as Shen Mu was pondering.

The battle was also coming to an end.

After all, the underground garage itself wasn't too big, the main body was just four apartment buildings.

Basically, these three hundred people sweeping through the main force of the completely defeated undead army.

Victory had already arrived.

More than half an hour later.

The dialogue box had already appeared in front of Shen Mu.
