Of course, there is no need to rush to open up the third base. What is urgent now is for Shen Mu to return to the noble mansion and have a good sleep first. He was really tired during this period. After giving instructions to Manide, he returned to the noble mansion after doing some construction work. I returned to my favorite big bed, covered myself with a thin blanket, and fell asleep immediately. He slept quite comfortably this time. Shen Mu went to bed around four o'clock in the afternoon, which was considered to be early falling asleep. After all, after a tiring day, what he wanted most was to have a good sleep to make up for his lost energy. After getting used to the busy pace of life, he slowly opened his eyes at a specific time without noticing. Woke up again. "What's going on? I actually feel like I can't sleep." Shen Mu looked at the dark sky outside the window. It was obviously still night and the sky hadn't gotten bright yet. He felt a little helpless. So he sat up from the bed, looked at the room and saw that there was no water ready for him to drink, so he said, "Someone come."
The door was pushed open immediately, and at this moment, a Holy Tree Knight walked in, bowed respectfully, and then asked, "Master Shen Mu, I'm here. What can I do for you?" "Please give me a glass of fresh water with honey, thank you." Shen Mu opened his mouth and stated his request. "Please wait, I'll bring it to you from the first floor." The Holy Tree Knight nodded immediately, then turned around, closed the door again, and went to the first floor to prepare the honey water that Shen Mu needed. On the first floor, there was a half-orc on duty to prevent Shen Mu from getting hungry and wanting to eat or drink something at night. After hearing the request from the Holy Tree Knight, he immediately started making it in the kitchen. The honey water was made quickly. They were all packed in a pottery jar, which was then placed on a tray by the Holy Tree Knight. He quickly returned to the second floor, knocked on the door again, pushed the door open after getting permission, and placed the items on Shen Mu's bedside table. "Thank you very much." Shen Mu nodded to him, then waved goodbye and let him leave his bedroom. "If you have any further needs, please tell me and we will do our best to serve you." The Holy Tree Knight bowed respectfully, then closed the door. He and the other Holy Tree Knights and Swadian sergeants sat quietly on both sides of the door again. Moreover, in the room next door, there were secret sentries on duty, who were Holy Tree Knights and Swadian sergeants. They looked over here and returned to the room after making sure there was nothing unusual. On the entire second floor, the Holy Tree Knights who came back with Shen Mu, as well as the Swadian sergeants and Swadian knights all live here. They are all top-level troops. If anything happens, even though they are knights and not the best soldiers in infantry combat, they can still rely on their armor and superior combat skills to protect Shen Mu. What's more, among the 100 Swadian soldiers who already had troops here, some were allocated to live here. There are about 30 people. In addition, there are 1 Lake Rat Gang vandals on the first floor, who are strong and muscular, and are top-level fighters comparable to level 50. As long as there is any movement, they will be able to react and ensure Shen Mu's safety. After all, for all the Mount and Blade units, Shen Mu’s safety is the first priority. No matter whether it is buildings, towns, castles, or even their own lives, they are not as important as Shen Mu’s safety. At this time, Shen Mu was drinking honey water, and he felt much more energetic.
By the way, I changed into my daily clothes. He got out of bed and stood at the window, looking at the unobstructed view of Dehrim outside. He raised his eyebrows slightly and also looked towards the Holy Light Torch Tower of the White Council in the southeast corner of the castle area. "It really is a special magical building. The light it releases is enough to allow people to barely see the outlines of things at night." Shen Mu also felt sincerely at this time. Because one of the effects of the Holy Light Torch Tower itself is that it can provide partial vision at night, allowing people's eyes to see a distance of about forty to fifty meters away. It is basically the same as the recognition field of view during the day. Although it was blurry and unclear when it was more than a hundred meters away, being able to see so far at night was enough for them to make many reactions. "I can't sleep and want to go out for a look." Shen Mu put down the pottery jar in his hand, sipped the sweet honey water on his lips, and suddenly he was moved and wanted to go out to see the situation outside the city wall. Especially those Blue Star humans outside the city wall and within the low wall, have they been attacked by the undead monsters during this period of time? After all, at night, the Blue Star world, which is beyond the reach of Mount and Blade rules, will become a terrifying place where undead monsters appear, and he has only built a circle of low walls on the outermost perimeter. It's only half a meter high. Although they can block some clumsy zombies or skeleton soldiers, as long as you are a little flexible, or happen to be able to climb over them, these low walls will not be an obstacle at all. Therefore, Shen Mu has also arranged for Bandak and Fatis, as well as Resarit and Bestur who came back together, to be the generals on duty every day to lead the troops to patrol the low wall. This is to prevent the undead monsters from breaking through the low wall defense line and appearing in front of the Blue Star humans at night. After all, there are still many Blue Star humans living in tents on that vast land. If there really were undead monsters that crossed the low wall and appeared in front of these Blue Star humans, it would obviously be quite difficult for these Blue Star humans who had not even mastered the power of rules to resist these undead monsters. Once there are casualties among the humans of Blue Star, it will obviously be a sign of the incompetence of Lord Shen Mu, and will have a bad reputation among the humans of Blue Star. If the humans on Blue Star do not want to stay in the area where Dehrim is for this reason and do not want to continue coming here to pray. Then what was lost was Shen Mu’s power of faith. So Shen Mu would never allow this to happen. After checking his clothes, he did not choose to put on his armor, but only took his knight's sword, then called out to the Holy Tree Knights who were still on duty outside and said, "Ten Holy Tree Knights, come with me to patrol outside." "Understood." Immediately, 10 Holy Tree Knights wearing armor and acting as sentinels came out from the room next to them. They saluted Shen Mu respectfully and looked ready to go at any time. "Very good, then let's go." Shen Mu nodded, and then called the ten Holy Tree Knights to take them out of the noble mansion, got their own horses from the stables on the wall, and then rode on the horses and moved towards the outside of the city wall. There were also many Blue Star humans sleeping on the ground on the streets. They heard the sound of horse hooves and opened their eyes curiously, only to find that it was the backs of Shen Mu and the Holy Tree Knights leaving the street. Everyone was quite curious and didn't know why the lord left with these 10 knights. But these humans on Blue Star were all quite excited. After all, they had already known that Shen Mu had opened up the position to become the commander of the spirit world. Every day, 10 people will be able to become spirit world commanders. So they were all quite excited. Even if they are not qualified for a turn, it is still a hope after all. If they are lucky or have some opportunity, they may become the commander of the spirit world and have human followers. People always dream, and they always see the best side of others, and hope that they can become that best side. After all, as long as there is hope, there is opportunity.
Of course, Shen Mu didn't care about the looks these Blue Star humans gave him. He just rushed out towards the west gate. At this time, the city gate on the west side was not closed. There were 10 burly Lake Rat Gang vandals standing there on duty boredly at the gate, and there were 20 Swadian light infantry and 50 Swadian militiamen standing guard above the city gate. As long as there is any situation, they can make arrangements at any time, whether it is going out to approach those humans or directly closing the city gates, they can do it. Moreover, not far from the city gate, there were more night patrols composed of Swadian light infantry and militia patrolling. And at every distance on the city wall, there were Swadian light infantry and militia standing guard. It can be said that although the control over urban areas seems to have been reduced a lot due to the influx of humans from Blue Star, in fact, these Mounted and Bladed soldiers in the interior are monitoring the situation inside and outside more closely. When Shen Mu and the Holy Tree Cavalry rode to the city gate, the Tiger Rat Pack destroyers also made way. He also respectfully touched his chest and bowed to greet Shen Mu. Shen Mu nodded to them on his warhorse, gently shook the reins, and rode his warhorse to the outside of the city gate. And when he arrived outside the city gate, he was instantly shocked by the scene outside the city gate. At this moment, just outside the city gate, it was not dark at all, but rather a bright scene similar to the morning mist rising in the morning. I raised my head subconsciously. "Is it because of the Holy Light Torch Tower of the Holy White Council?" Shen Mu also saw it. At the top of the castle area, there was the Holy Light Torch Tower that was releasing rays of light that were clearly visible like ripples. At this time, the ripple-like light could still be seen flashing within a range of 1 kilometer outside the low wall. It just dispelled the distant darkness. Therefore, just outside the city wall, the Blue Star humans who had set up tents and were living in the wheat fields really seemed to be bathing in the extremely bright moonlight, or sleeping peacefully in the morning light, or those who couldn't sleep were chatting in their spare time. Enjoying the hard-earned sense of security. After all, this made the night seem like daytime, dispelling the darkness for them to enjoy. It was the first time that they had the feeling of being protected by light regardless of day or night. Therefore, when they saw Shen Mu leading the Holy Tree Knights out, many humans on Blue Star exclaimed, and they looked at Shen Mu with admiration, reverence and considerable respect. Compared to the awe before, the look he gave Shen Mu now was much softer. "Lord Shen Mu." Just as the God's Tomb arrived outside the city wall and began to move towards the low wall, Bestur, who was on duty tonight, also rode his prairie horse and galloped over quickly. Behind him were 50 grassland bandits and 10 grassland bandit elites. Everyone seemed quite relaxed at this time. "Did you notice anything unusual while on duty tonight?" Shen Mu asked. This was also the issue that concerned him the most. "No, Lord Shen Mu, we didn't find any undead monsters near the low wall. Everything is safe." Bestur answered immediately, and picked up his nomadic scimitar, jokingly saying, "This is my nomadic scimitar. At the most leisurely time I encountered tonight, he didn't even enjoy the moment of killing the enemy." Right beside him, the grassland bandits and grassland bandit elites all laughed unruly, and in their ease they also revealed their regret that no battle had taken place. Because they really didn't find any undead monsters. "Sure enough, the effect of the Holy Light Torch Tower of the Holy White Council is really amazing." Shen Mu also nodded at this time.
Then, looking outside the low wall, where he could also see the urban road far away, Shen Mu hesitated and asked again: "Have you gone to the west to take a look?" "No, Master Shenmu." Bestur replied: "The order we received is to patrol the interior of the low wall." "In that case, you guys come and take a look outside." Shen Mu hesitated for a moment, then pointed at Bestur and the grassland bandits and grassland bandit elites behind him, and then glanced at the Holy Tree Knights behind him, and said, "Come here." "Yes, sir!" Bestur, who was already quite keen on fighting, as well as the grassland bandits and grassland bandit elites, all showed excited smiles. As Shen Mu shook the reins, he crossed the low wall and walked towards the city center of Balihe Street, Longcheng City. They also shook the reins and followed. Those fragile undead monsters were not taken seriously by these grassland bandits from the Khergit Khanate. If they can enjoy the excitement brought by the battle at this time, they will be very happy. After all, boring patrols are not what these grassland bandits who are unwilling to live an ordinary life want to do. They prefer to plunder, kill, and ride freely without any constraints.
