A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

The spear phalanx instantly clashed with the snake demons and imps that surged from the front.

Or rather, these 50 experienced Swadian sergeants, leading 87 Swadian light infantry, formed a spear phalanx and stood as immovable as a mountain in the face of the tide of enemies, a textbook example!

Rows of spears thrust out from behind the shield wall, the cunning and ruthless spears like venomous snakes.

Any abyss demon that dared to approach would instantly have four or five wounds on its body.

If they were inadvertently pushed closer to the spear phalanx.

Then, whether it was the Swadian sergeant's spear or the Swadian light infantry's spear, seven or eight spears would pierce through from the front, right, and left.

【I hope readers will remember our domain name: Taiwan Novels Net → 𝖙 𝖜 𝖐 𝖆 𝖓 . 𝖈 𝖔 𝖒】

Brutally stabbing this abyss demon, without armor or shield, relying solely on its flesh to resist, to death in front of the spear phalanx.

Even if it fell and didn't die immediately, the front row of spears would turn their heads downward.

'Puff!'

Then, they would stab down fiercely, completely killing these severely wounded abyss demons lying on the ground behind this row of solid shields.

Letting this shield and the spears that pierced out form a deadly obstacle, preventing the friendly meeting between the two sides!

But on the right, a more tragic and heroic slaughter continued.

'Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!'

Members of the Lake Rat gang, wielding 2-meter-long serrated spears, were the first to hurl hooked javelins, knocking down the front row, whether it was a snake demon or an imp, or even a lesser imp or a greater timid demon mixed in.

Then, the front row of Lake Rat gang members raised their heavy round shields, densely blocking the front of their family members behind them.

While withstanding the scimitars swung by those snake demons, the serrated spears in their hands either thrust out or chopped.

But their purpose was to stop these rushing abyss demons from continuing their assault, to firmly block them here!

Then, they could cooperate with the Viglian archers behind them, focusing on accurate rapid-fire towards this side, the rain of arrows pouring out, killing these abyss demons on the left, turning the area into a river of blood!

If the Lake Rat gang recruits and the Lake Rat gang veterans are light infantry throwing units.

The typical high-attack, low-defense units.

The defense only relies on a kite shield, using throwing javelins and armor-piercing axes, using offense instead of defense.

Then, the Lake Rat gang destroyers, this so-called fourth-tier unit from the Great Lakes region of the Kingdom of Sturgia, actually equipped with polearms, shields, armor-piercing axes, and hooked javelins, wearing northern leather chainmail, a nasal infantry helmet, and chainmail gauntlets and greaves on their arms and legs.

They have completely shed the label of high attack and low defense, becoming top-tier infantry without major weaknesses!

"For the Lake Rat gang!"

These Lake Rat gang destroyers skillfully hid behind their heavy round shields, stubbornly withstanding the hacking of one scimitar after another.

Relying on the high-quality wood and iron bars to support the strength, and the leather wrapping for cushioning, even if a snake demon chopped with a scimitar, it could only leave a few knife marks, unable to hurt these Lake Rat gang destroyers behind.

Then the 2-meter-long serrated spears in their hands could not only stab forward fiercely.

But also chop from top to bottom.

To some extent, after equipping these shorter polearms, these Lake Rat gang destroyers have the ability to counter cavalry!

And these snake demons, 2 meters to less than 3 meters tall, and the abyss demons two heads taller than them.

These serrated spears were just right to use!

Just in the short moment when these Lake Rat gang destroyers came into contact with the charging snake demons and restrained them in front of them.

The hooked javelins flying over from behind, and the Viglian archers focusing their fire to support them from the hilltop.

Plus the serrated spears in their hands.

Let those snake demons fall in rows in front of these Lake Rat gang destroyers.

Contrary to expectations, the melee combat that the snake demons were best at was instead strangled in place by these Lake Rat gang destroyers, who had been groping and rolling all the way from the Great Lakes region, and were also good at melee combat, with the help of equipment advantages!

"That's right." Shen Mu, riding on the Saint Tree heavy warhorse, saw all of this clearly.

The spear phalanx in the middle successfully withstood the enemy's frontal breakthrough.

The Lake Rat gang destroyers on the left successfully held back the enemy's assault force that tried to outflank them.

And with the help of the archers behind them, they focused their fire on the enemies on the left.

Striving to defeat the enemies on the left as soon as possible.

At this time, Shen Mu looked to the right, where the horseshoes were pounding the ground, just rushing down the hill, the cavalry relying on cavalry, horse heads against horse heads, extremely dense riding wall formation, began to line up in a row, positioning about 20 meters apart to become two columns of heavy cavalry.

The smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more brilliant: "On the right, Fatis and the Swadian heavy cavalry should also begin their performance."

"These Swadian cavalry are also very good." Even the Saint Tree knights beside Shen Mu secretly exclaimed.

Before, they had also seen Swadian heavy cavalry, this fourth-tier cavalry, wearing heavy armor on both man and horse.

Regarding the personal combat skills displayed by these fourth-tier cavalry, although there was not much high evaluation.

They felt that they were slightly inferior to the Saint Tree cavalry, who were also fourth-tier cavalry.

Including the Swadian knights, who were also fifth-tier knights like themselves.

That's what they thought.

In terms of personal skills, they should be somewhat inferior to the knights or cavalry who train in the Saint Tree Knights every day.

But now, these Saint Tree Knights, seeing the Swadian knights and heavy cavalry lined up in such a tight riding wall and spear charge formation, their eyes widened.

This tactic, specifically for the battlefield, can be said to be designed to directly smash through the enemy's formation like a heavy hammer.

Is a tactic that the Saint Tree Knights, or any knight order, would not train in.

Because it's too dangerous.

A slight carelessness will directly lead to everyone falling into the enemy's formation, entering a melee state.

But looking at why, from the Swadian knights to the Swadian heavy cavalry, both man and horse are fully armed to the teeth, they understood in their hearts the combination of this equipment and this tactic.

This is also why these proud Saint Tree Knights expressed their amazement.

This may be the difference in the use of cavalry between the two Mount \u0026 Blade worlds.

The cavalry in the Mount \u0026 Blade: Pendor world pays more attention to personal bravery and combat skills.

The cavalry in the Mount \u0026 Blade: Warband world, like the heavy cavalry in history, pays more attention to the protective effect and the clustered charge brought about by the defense.

And the larger the scale, the stronger the power!

Now.

Right in front of Shen Mu and these Saint Tree Knights, the Swadian heavy cavalry began their performance!

"Rumble——"

200 horseshoes were quickly lifting and falling, creating a sound as if a muffled thunder was rolling, and the movement was like countless giant hammers hitting the ground.

Even the earth was shaking, and even the world seemed to be mourning!

Especially when these Swadian heavy cavalry were just entering the downhill process, they spurred their horses into a full gallop charge.

Looking at the snake demons that were only 50 meters away, they slowly lowered their bodies on horseback, forcefully clamped the 3-meter-long spear under their armpits, and stretched the spear tip straight forward, parallel to the horse's head wearing a chainmail helmet.

Faces under great helms and flat-topped helmets revealed proud and fierce expressions.

And those pairs of eyes also revealed a completely fearless and quite confident look in the process of clustered charge.

So the first row of 25 Swadian knights and Swadian heavy cavalry, this strongest riding wall and spear charge formation, slammed into the first wave of snake demons who already had fear on their faces!

'Boom!'

It was as if a flood had broken through a dam, with the terrifying power to destroy everything, the abyss demons were instantly crushed under the impact of the heavy cavalry with spears of more than 3 meters, almost 4 meters!

The sharp cavalry spears joined the terrible inertia of the heavy cavalry charge, directly piercing through all the enemies in front.

Whether it was an imp or a snake demon, or a small number of greater timid demons or horned demons inside.

All were pierced through by the nearly 4-meter-long spear!

It was as if strings of candied hawthorns were skewered onto the lances. The terrifying inertia, combined with the stout warhorses of the Swadian heavy cavalry, continued to push forward, piercing through the Abyss Demons one after another.

The Swadian knights and heavy cavalry only stopped when their lances were completely laden with Abyss Demons.

Only then did they finally lose control of their incredibly heavy lances and chose to release them.

'Clang!' Without any hesitation, they drew their knightly swords or hand-and-a-half swords from their waists.

Looking at the few remaining Abyss Demons in front of them, and clearly seeing the open desert behind, they grinned and vigorously shook the reins, urging their warhorses to continue charging forward, driving them to deliver powerful slashes.

Forcibly, they actually shattered the chaotic formation of these Abyss Demons, who had never expected to encounter human heavy cavalry!

And they broke straight through!

'Rumble! Rumble!'

But for these Abyss Demons, the fact that the first line of heavy cavalry had shattered their formation...

And forcibly carved through the formation and broke out...

Was not the end.

Because behind them, the pure line of 25 Swadian heavy cavalry, already spaced 20 meters apart, once again charged forward in a wedge formation, with a terrifying force like a flood breaking through a dam!

'Rumble! Rumble!'

One could see those already skewered on lances like candied hawthorns, those already knocked down by warhorses, trampled by horseshoes, a chaotic mess of minced meat and corpses intertwined, a mixture of putrid and foul odors.

The new wave of impact completely crushed the already depleted force of just over 300 Abyss Demons!

"This kind of charge tactic... is too terrifying!" The Holy Tree Knights exchanged glances, all noticing the look of horror in each other's eyes.

From their battlefield experience, this kind of wedge-shaped cluster charge, like a flood bursting a levee...

If they disregarded their own casualties...

Not to mention these Abyss Demons who didn't have long-handled weapons to obstruct the cavalry charge.

Even if these Abyss Demons were all wearing heavy armor, wielding super-long spears, and setting up a tight spear formation.

Faced with such a terrifying wave-like charge tactic of heavy cavalry clusters...

They would still be crushed!

If the first wave didn't break them, then the second wave of charges arriving immediately would also break them.

Even if the second or third wave didn't break them.

Then the fourth, fifth, and sixth waves of heavy cavalry charging over, wave after wave, what spear formation could withstand it?

As long as the formation was completely torn apart.

Then the infantry behind would follow up and completely defeat the enemy's formation, and victory would be in sight!

"This is a decisive battle type of tactic." These Holy Tree Knights all had thoughts in their minds, and they pursed their lips one by one, with complex expressions appearing in their eyes.

This tactic was indeed impossible for knightly orders, as a group organization, to learn and use.

If their own knights and cavalry were all wiped out.

What would they be called a knightly order then?

Only those personal cavalry retinues cultivated by kings with money would use this tactic during decisive battles, as long as they could swallow the opponent in one gulp and win the victory of this battle.

A practical example was like now.

50 heavy cavalry of the Swadian Kingdom, deploying two waves of wedge charges, directly routed all the Abyss Demons on the right flank!

At this time, the demons on the right flank, who had originally rushed over ferociously, were now, after the charge, with the remaining demons, fleeing in all directions due to the tremendous losses suffered in a short period of time, and the fear erupting from the depths of their souls.

Completely disregarding the Abyss Demons in the middle, who were engaged in a fierce battle with the spear formation, and those on the left, who were in a melee with the Lake Rat Gang destroyers, selling them out completely!

That's right, selling them out completely.

When Fatis turned his horse around, with half of his body splattered with quite a bit of blood with a sulfurous stench, looking even more ferocious, and prepared for another charge.

With the Abyss Demons on the right flank completely defeated.

Now appearing in front of them.

Were the Abyss Demons in the middle who were still charging at the spear formation, and those on the left who were still fighting with the Lake Rat Gang, with their backs facing them.

Because of the intensity and cruelty of the battlefield, they simply didn't know that the Abyss Demons on their right, mainly the Snake Demons of the same race, had been quickly crushed and routed, leaving their backs to those humans.

Leaving them to those with more terrifying lethality, the heavy cavalry among the humans!

This was no different than handing their necks over to hungry lions!

As the eldest son cultivated by a high-ranking noble family of the Swadian Kingdom, even if Fatis wandered on the Calradia continent because he couldn't overcome the psychological moral threshold of patricide.

But you should know.

The education he once received as a nobleman, as a knight, and how to judge the timing on the battlefield, how to command cavalry to charge forward, and how to know whether it was time to end the battle with a final blow.

This education was still completely intact, stored in Fatis's mind.

Moreover, because of his wandering, after being exposed to countless real battlefields.

He had achieved the effect of applying what he had learned.

From theory to experience.

He was perfect!

Therefore, now, when Fatis saw this opportunity, although his face in the great helmet was expressionless, his hand had already raised his knightly sword.

"Assemble!" Fatis issued a loud command, transmitted through the edge gaps of the great helmet.

However, this sound was only psychological.

Even if it was transmitted, this sound couldn't travel far at all.

What's more, the surroundings were filled with the roars of Abyss Demons, the thunderous sound of horseshoes hitting the ground, and the clanging of armor or weapons colliding with each other.

It was really difficult to obtain effective sound information on the battlefield.

But when Fatis's knightly sword was raised.

Those Swadian knights who had already gathered around him came closer, bringing those Swadian heavy cavalry closer as well.

In just a short moment, the first line of charge, led by Fatis and 25 Swadian knights and heavy cavalry, was once again fully arranged.

About 10 meters behind them, 25 Swadian heavy cavalry had also lined up in a neat formation.

They were all ready!

Then Fatis began to spur his warhorse, personally conveying his orders in front of these two lines of knights and heavy cavalry:

"First line! Charge the central Abyss Demon troops!"

"Second line! Responsible for charging the Abyss Demon troops on the left!"

"Understood!" The two lines of heavy cavalry in front and behind all responded loudly and uniformly.

"Advance!" Fatis glanced at the 51 cavalry lances that had just been used in the previous charge and were still lying there, looking somewhat regretful.

On a real battlefield, these weapons would also be lost and damaged.

Just like now.

After completing the first round of charging.

In the second round of charging, they could only use the knightly swords or hand-and-a-half swords in their hands, weapons specially designed for cavalry, as the main weapons for killing enemies next.

If they were unlucky, and the weapon in their hand was stuck in the enemy's armor or body and couldn't be pulled out.

Then they could only pick up a spiked mace, about the length of an adult's forearm, a one-handed weapon more suitable for close-range melee combat and armor-breaking, to make a final struggle.

These were all unavoidable things on a real battlefield.

But for the current Fatis, as well as the Swadian knights and cavalry, everything was not a problem.

The knightly swords and hand-and-a-half swords in their hands could still give those Abyss Demons, who had not yet noticed their actions and had begun to charge at their formation from behind, an unforgettable memory during the charging process!

'Rumble! Rumble!'

The two lines of heavy cavalry split into two wedge formations, heading towards the Abyss Demons in the middle and on the left. Their speed became faster and faster, and the momentum of the charge became more and more fierce. In the blink of an eye, they were almost upon them.

When these Abyss Demons were still being attracted by the humans in front, with most of their attention focused there.

Before they had time to look behind them.

The slight shaking coming from under their feet.

Made them all stunned and subconsciously turned their heads, looking towards their backs.

Then, one by one, their eyes widened, their faces full of disbelief, watching a row of more than 3 meters high, as if made of steel, a huge wall, crashing towards them fiercely.

Bringing that terrifying momentum like a flood bursting a levee, completely submerging them!

Then, these Abyss Demons disappeared in an instant.

There were no interludes.

These demons, accustomed to warrior-like close combat in the abyss, accustomed to not wearing full-body armor, accustomed to not having archers and cavalry units, accustomed to not having spear phalanxes and other tightly organized formations, and having developed habitual ways of thinking, finally suffered a great loss.

At this time, they encountered Shen Mu, who was armed to the teeth and had elite troops forming reasonable units.

A crushing defeat thus fell upon these abyss demons.

There was no chance to recover!

Shen Mu didn't even have the chance to personally lead the 10 Holy Tree Knights who were still in reserve; the encounter was already over.

The abyss demons, directly routed and scattered, were chased down and cut down by the Swadian heavy cavalry.

The Lake Rat Gang Destroyers also howled excitedly, rushing up with their armor-piercing axes, and hacking down those cumbersome Greater Imps or Snake Demons who were still terrified.

Chasing down fleeing enemies is a pleasure for the victors.

In the talent of slaughter and sadism, humans are also among the best!

Especially when the enemies had fought to the death with them just now, almost killing them, but now had become stray dogs due to collapse.

Of course, they would chase after them, venting the anger in their hearts!

Amid this scene of pursuit, a dialogue box appeared before Shen Mu's eyes.

【Ding! Congratulations! You calmly commanded your troops and successfully defeated those abyss demons, completing the second stage of the mission!】

【You have received the second stage mission reward—all Mount \u0026 Blade reputation +1 point, and 1000 denars.】

This meant that the enemy had really been defeated.

Even the Mount \u0026 Blade system had detected the absolute fear revealed by these enemies, and judged that Shen Mu's troops had won the victory in this temporary stage mission.

"Tell those Lake Rat Gang Destroyers, and also Firentis, not to pursue those demons too far."

Shen Mu hid the dialogue box in front of him, a smile on his lips, and turned to look at the Holy Tree Knights next to him, waving his hand to signal them to convey his order.

"Understood!" Among these Holy Tree Knights, two knights quickly spurred their horses and rushed out.

They went to the Lake Rat Gang Destroyers and Firentis to convey Shen Mu's order.

To tell them not to pursue the enemy too deeply.

Because Shen Mu raised his head at this time and had already seen a crack shimmering with dark red light appearing on the distant horizon.

Although it was much smaller than the huge abyss crack he had encountered before.

However, it was still an abyss crack.

Equally dangerous!

Most importantly, when Shen Mu was commanding his soldiers in battle.

The corner of his eye glanced in the direction of those jackalmen who had been discovered earlier, and he unexpectedly found that in the unconscious process.

He and his troops.

Were actually surrounded by the group of jackalmen who had been hiding and watching him and the abyss demons fight!

"This is interesting." Shen Mu's expression did not change, but there was more coldness in his eyes.

He really didn't expect that these jackalmen...

Actually wanted to be the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!

To the extent that the jackalmen's encirclement became larger and larger, and more and more obvious.

So that Bunduk, who was still in front, noticed the abnormal situation behind at this time, his face gloomy, and he quickly walked over to report.

"I already know." Shen Mu knew that Bunduk had also discovered those jackalmen.

He raised his hand to signal Bunduk not to say more.

Turning his head to look at the Lake Rat Gang members and the heavy cavalry led by Firentis, who had already canceled the pursuit and were returning, he said: "Have them all gather together, I will restore your strength and injuries."

"Thank you for your dedication, Lord Shen Mu, I will arrange for them to gather together."

Bunduk was slightly stunned, and then he understood Shen Mu's meaning.

After all, he had seen Shen Mu's spellcasting ability, which was almost a miracle, and could quickly restore their strength and spirit, and heal their wounds.

Soon, under his arrangement, all 300 Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers that Shen Mu had brought gathered together.

"Mass Heal!"

Shen Mu stretched out his hand, his thoughts directly communicating with the system.

'Buzz!'

The wave from the Mount \u0026 Blade system emerged.

In Shen Mu's heart, a cool feeling spread out with his thoughts, turning into a emerald green light ball from his palm.

Then, under the guidance of the white data stream gushing out from Shen Mu's brow, it floated to the top of the heads of those Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers in front of him, and then scattered into countless green rain falling down.

Within that 50×50 meter range, most of the Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers in the middle were those who had been more seriously injured in the fight.

Minor injuries, abrasions, and slight injuries were basically on the periphery or simply not within the range.

Thanks to the fact that all the elite soldiers wearing full body armor were brought this time.

The battle started and ended quickly.

It was less than 15 minutes.

Therefore, there were no casualties.

As Shen Mu used Mass Heal, he quickly restored the spirit and strength of all these seriously wounded soldiers, who were already few in number.

All the soldiers were able to engage in the next fierce battle again.

Most importantly, a new dialogue box popped up on Shen Mu's retina again.

【Ding! The third stage temporary mission has been released—the fickleness of the jackalmen.】

【Stage Mission Briefing: In this large spirit realm scene, you defeated the abyss demon troops and rescued those humans trapped in the castle, which is commendable. Your benevolent act of offering a helping hand is spreading throughout the Mount \u0026 Blade world. And even the natives in this desert, a group of jackalmen tribes, have now sensed your power and come to you hoping to communicate.】

【Stage Mission Choice ①: Express goodwill. You are willing to communicate with these jackalmen, and leave your soul anchor, you can use the spirit realm mark at any time to come here to recruit jackalmen followers who are willing to follow you.】

【Stage Reward: Obtain jackalmen followers, and be able to complete the soul resonance of the jackalmen race.】

【Stage Mission Choice ②: Express malice. You have discovered the malice revealed by these jackalmen. They fear those abyss demons, but they also covet the tender human flesh and blood. For these fickle robber races, they should be severely beaten with violent means, perhaps they can be forced to reveal the secrets about the gods to seek survival.】

【Stage Reward: Obtain a secret about "Gods".】

But looking at the content in the dialogue box, Shen Mu frowned slightly.

Seeing the end, there was also a bit of astonishment in his eyes: "If I express malice, I can get a secret about gods! ?"

Shen Mu's final murmur was filled with undisguised horror.

Gods.

This word was clearly marked on the dialogue box on the retina.

Shen Mu just thought about the memories that remained from his predecessor, and the various topics he discussed with the knowledgeable halfling elder Poro, and they were extremely scarce about the word gods.

But as long as you have the information of this word, whether it is from the mouths of those spirit realm creatures.

Or the halfling elder Poro said it himself.

They are extremely awed!

Even because when saying this word, they will have a sense of awe, and immediately shut up or immediately change the subject.

Looking like they dare not talk more.

"Then now, what does it mean that the dialogue box says that these jackalmen actually possess a secret about gods?!"

Shen Mu slowly turned his head, looking at those figures that had surrounded him on the back of the sand dune.

There was some indifference in his eyes.

Since the system has said so.

Then how to choose has already been decided.

"I don't need to leave my soul here to form an anchor point, and I don't need to resonate with these jackalmen on a soul level, and I don't need to recruit these jackalmen as spirit realm followers."

Shen Mu snorted at this coldly, and scoffed at it.

He knows this very well.

If it was the previous self, the parallel space self who had not traveled over.

Without the Mount \u0026 Blade system, facing this choice, of course, he would not hesitate to choose the first one, and eat the real reward into his mouth first.

Even if he knows that leaving a soul anchor in this jackalmen tribe.

His soul will slowly transform towards the jackalmen race.

Whether it is personality or thought.

With each soul-level co-frequency resonance.

Eventually, they would transform into highly intelligent Blue Star humans with the personality and even the physical features of gnolls!

Once they swallowed the crystal fragment of the Spirit Realm mark, they would obtain the power of the Spirit Realm's rules.

Then, using this subtle power of rules, they could completely change their appearance in a short period, performing high-frequency co-resonance to transform into gnolls. This would not only grant them powerful combat abilities but also various racial talents of the gnolls.

It could be said that at that time, they would become true gnolls with the minds of Blue Star humans.

With the gnoll dominating,

Blue Star humans would only retain their minds!

Of course, in many cases, this transformation itself is a positive change.

It can be considered a reinforcement for Blue Star humans.

Otherwise, facing the terrifying undead monsters and their highly corrosive undead rules,

where even the Blue Star rules are suppressed and unable to recover, wouldn't these ordinary humans living on Blue Star be slaughtered by undead monsters and demon monsters until they are completely wiped out, with no chance of recovery?!

Just as Shen Mu was pondering,

hundreds of gnolls, approximately 500 or more, were already hunching over, wielding rusty scimitars or hand axes, encircling them.

However, their encirclement was much slower than it had been at the beginning.

This was not only because they had witnessed the abyss demons being defeated and even mostly killed by Shen Mu in a very short time,

but also because of the natural magic Shen Mu used and the re-formed ranks of soldiers.

The gnolls, who had been hoping to take advantage of a mutually destructive battle between the humans and demons to kill both sides and feast, were now pale and hesitant.

Even the ferocious abyss demons could be overwhelmed and defeated.

How could these gnolls face those heavily armed human knights who, in their memories before the crystal wall system shattered, could easily slaughter them?!

There was no way!

Thinking of this, several young and strong leaders among the gnolls, as well as their aging chieftain, had already considered retreating.

For battles they were not confident in, these gnolls, who were accustomed to plundering and robbing, would certainly not fight head-on.

That would be no different from foolishly seeking death.

"Those gnolls want to retreat."

At this moment, a Holy Tree Knight beside Shen Mu keenly noticed the gnolls' movements.

The Holy Tree Knight raised his hand, pointing with his slender lance at the top of a hill, and reported in a deep voice: "Lord Shen Mu, the gnolls on that hill, I believe, are their commanders or leaders."

"Mm." Shen Mu nodded, having already decided how to complete the mission, and directly waved his hand forward, saying: "Fatis, lead all the cavalry to capture those gnolls!"

"Understood!" Fatis did not hesitate, immediately shaking the reins and charging forward on his horse.

At this time, not only the 10 Swadian knights and the 40 Swadian heavy cavalry followed him on horseback,

but even the 10 Holy Tree Knights were instructed by Shen Mu in a deep voice: "You follow too."

"Understood!" The Holy Tree Knights did not hesitate, immediately riding forward, holding their lances high, joining Fatis's command sequence, and charging towards the gnolls with the rumbling sound of horseshoes striking the ground.

The speed was very fast!

When the gnolls saw these heavily armored cavalry charging over aggressively, most of them were frightened and retreated uncontrollably.

Because they had clearly seen how these human heavy cavalry had swept through the abyss demon troops with overwhelming force.

That appearance of seemingly crushing everything had left a deep impression on them.

Moreover, before the crystal wall system shattered, these gnolls were subjected to sweeps by the human kingdom bordering the wasteland, known as the Lionheart Duchy, every year or every few years.

If they encountered the Lionheart Duchy's cavalry, their fate would be tragically miserable.

Therefore, these gnolls were immediately frightened and quickly collapsed and scattered.

Even the several leaders and the noticeably older chieftain began to retreat.

However, before they could run a few steps, Fatis, who had been closely watching them, led the cavalry and chased after them, capturing them all on the spot!

"Don't do this! Don't do this! I once followed you Blue Star humans! We are willing to surrender!"

Among these leaders, a gnoll leader with a missing ear simply threw away the scimitar in his hand at this time.

He directly knelt on the ground, raised his hands, and shouted loudly:

"Tell your human lord! I am willing to surrender! Willing to follow him!"

……

However, Shen Mu did not come over directly.

On the side of the rammed earth walls and castle, the three evocation mages who had been trapped inside, as well as their subordinates within their organization, had now led some human followers over.

Because Shen Mu's troops had defeated the abyss demons, the demons besieging the castle were frightened.

They all collapsed and fled.

This gave the members of the mage tower, who had initially come full of confidence but unexpectedly encountered so many abyss demons, a chance to catch their breath.

"Hello, friend."

An Le City, as the mage with the highest position among the three, took the initiative to come over and greet them.

He identified himself: "We are mages from the Binggong Mage Tower in the Luo City area. Thank you for extending your helping hand to us, defeating those abyss demons. We are extremely grateful for this."

At the same time, his gaze swept over Shen Mu's soldiers.

A look of amazement appeared in his eyes.

In fact, not only An Le City, but even Liu Lu and Zhao Hongying, who were behind him, were extremely surprised at this moment.

Because seeing the heavy armored soldiers from the city walls and now seeing them up close were two completely different concepts!

Looking at these soldiers, all wearing similar chainmail and scale armor, including helmets, arm guards, leg guards, and even weapons and shields, all unified in style,

it made them, who were already in the Affairs Officer system and advocated the concept of particle alignment, feel a shock in their hearts.

To be able to achieve such uniformity and such a scale of fully armored soldiers,

looking so brave and unparalleled,

now actually obeyed the command of a single Blue Star human.

Just a little speculation could make them understand that this Blue Star human, who looked to be only in his early twenties, definitely had an extraordinary background and an unusual origin!

At least in the Luo City area where they were located, and in the Long City area they understood,

there was no similar force!

"Luo City area, Binggong Mage Tower." Shen Mu frowned slightly at this time.

He had heard of Luo City.

It was the city east of Long City.

However, because his predecessor had never left this area, he did not understand the Binggong Mage Tower.

This did not hinder Shen Mu's communication with the other party. He was still riding on his horse, nodding as if he were aloof, and said: "No need to thank me, we are all Blue Star humans. When we encounter an attack from abyss demons, we will help if we can."

At this time, the other party was observing Shen Mu.

And Shen Mu was also observing them.

He raised his eyebrows slightly.

Looking at those humans in the back, clearly led by Blue Star humans, with typical Spirit Realm characteristics, he also slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

Compared to his elite soldiers from Mount \u0026 Blade, those human soldiers seemed particularly miserable.
