It was finally dark. Outside the low wall of Dehrim, a large area was shrouded in holy light because of the Holy Light Torch Tower of the White Council. This light not only brought brightness, but also a scorching temperature, allowing them to feel a sense of warmth even without lighting a campfire in the wild, as if they were under the sun. "What a powerful force! I never thought that this human empire could create a domain that blocks the rules of the dead." At this time, many Blue Star humans were squatting and resting in a green belt in a community outside the low wall. Turning their heads, they could see the sun-like light ball released from Dehrim, shining with white light. Everyone's face was filled with shock. However, although they were shocked, after a few days of getting used to it, they have really gotten used to it. After all, they can see this soft light shining on them every night, and it also brings them a warmth from the bottom of their souls, which really makes them enjoy it and gradually get used to it. This is really a kind of warmth that can illuminate the soul, which is different from ordinary bonfires. In the Blue Star World, the bonfires made of materials from the Blue Star World only have light and body surface temperature. After the darkness fell, they still felt a coldness and isolation from the depths of their souls. Unless they can find materials from the spiritual world to light a bonfire, they can burn out a light and heat that can even warm their souls. This is also why when Shen Mu wiped out the Diesel Company, he found a lot of wood from the spiritual world in the Diesel Company’s storage warehouse.
Because only the wood from the spiritual world, or the rags from the spiritual world, can be used as the raw materials for the bonfire in the spiritual world. The flames that are ignited can illuminate their souls and even warm their souls. During the black tide, it is especially necessary to burn this kind of spiritual material to light a bonfire, so as to effectively resist the bone-chilling cold in the black tide. Of course, for ordinary humans without souls, it would be fine as long as they could ignite the combustible materials of the Blue Star humans to illuminate their own bodies. After all, without souls, they cannot feel the bone-chilling cold that can freeze even the soul. However, for those spirit world commanders who already possess souls, as long as such a horrible cold wave occurs, they must light a bonfire made of spirit world materials in order to protect themselves from harm. They certainly didn't need to light a bonfire made from spiritual materials, because the holy light torch tower rising in Dehrim was enough to dispel the chill in their souls. "Yeah, this is really powerful." Zhang Bo turned his head to look at the location of the Holy Light Torch Tower, then took out his staff and held it in his arms. There was not much expression on his face, and even the words he said were too perfunctory. But he was also quite helpless and awed in his heart. Yes, a look of awe. The more he understood the depths of Tehrim, the more he realized how powerful the human empire that owned Tehrim, or was behind Tehrim, was, and he developed a fear brought about by panic. As far as he understood, for all the forces that currently did not have much resistance to the rules of the undead, this Holy Light Torch Tower was truly beyond comprehension. At least in Zhang Bo's opinion, the former Diesel Company could not do it, and the current Green Leaf Group cannot do it either. They can continue to use the rules, and they are still in a situation where they can only burn bonfires to resist the darkness. Even if the spiritual world rules they possess can protect their territory from the appearance of undead rules, as long as they leave the territory and leave their city walls, the undead rules still exist. At night, they still need to light a bonfire in the territory to prevent the darkness from becoming too condensed. Although the darkness would not produce undead monsters or gray fog because of the spiritual rules they possess, the coldness brought by the darkness could still weaken their condition a lot. Combined with what I learned before, I can quickly build buildings and include these human soldiers who can be specially upgraded. There was also another castle that descended in a short time. Zhang Bo was becoming increasingly uneasy. In his heart, he really felt the enormous pressure brought by this human empire. If it continued to develop, it would be too much for him to breathe. "We absolutely can't do this." Zhang Bo gritted his teeth. Looking at the people around him who were immersed in this warmth and feeling comfortable, he felt an unwillingness in his heart. After all, everyone was immersed in this warmth, which meant that they had submitted to Shen Mu and had recognized Shen Mu as the supreme leader in their hearts. This means that it will become very difficult for him to instigate conflicts among these people and alienate his relationship with Shen Mu in the future.
Besides, it’s already difficult now. With the appearance of those spiritual commanders one by one, whether it is Zhang Caidong or the senior managers or the middle-level managers, there is now a certain gap between them. But under Shen Mu's name and call, they can still unite. For example, now they can still unite and go into the darkness together to level up their soldiers. The reason is that they already have a community of interests, that is, their soldiers need to be upgraded and need to unite. Only by uniting can they resist the undead monsters in the darkness and become stronger together. This is the community of interests they have formed. In the face of this common interest, all small frictions and bumps can be temporarily ignored. Moreover, Dehrim has just been established and everything is in ruins. Moreover, the current positions and salaries are not fixed. If capable people can show their abilities, they will definitely be able to get promotion opportunities. After all, they have not yet blocked their upward channels and have not formed class solidification. As long as it is gold, it will always shine. Since you will shine sooner or later, why bother about what others think of you? As long as you get up there, everyone will be in the same class. Even if you are unhappy, you can only hold your nose and bear it. Otherwise, when you fall down, you will definitely be retaliated against. Since we are already in the same class, we should just work together and develop together. Of course, everyone will be happy and harmonious, at least on the surface, they seem to be quite united. Since everyone can be happy and united, why should they get angry over some small things or things that happened in the past? Why should they use tricks and fight to the death? Let's make money together, become stronger together, and grow together. Isn’t this a good thing? Therefore, this kind of mentality that they have has already destroyed a lot of the alienating effect that Zhang Bo had secretly created with his little tricks. This is the general trend. That's why Zhang Bo is feeling quite helpless now. If he cannot successfully alienate these senior and mid-level managers, then when everyone accepts their fate and starts working hard to show off in front of Shen Mu, and he himself starts scrambling to run forward, who will look back at him? Even if he used some tricks, he would not care about them because he was worried that he would be defeated by others. He would keep moving forward, keep working hard to make himself stronger, and then turn into shining gold to show himself in front of Shen Mu, so as to get better treatment and higher status. "We absolutely can't do this." Zhang Bo glanced at Zhang Caidong, who was chatting with several executives not far away, and some helplessness appeared in his eyes. Although Zhang Caidong is now the most useful chess piece in his hand, it seems that this chess piece is really foolishly following Shen Mu to the end. Although he can use some small tricks to divert its direction, if Zhang Bo says he wants to rebel, it is really a question whether Zhang Caidong can respond. I guess by then Zhang Caidong will put me under house arrest and control me, and not hand me over to Shen Mu. It will be good enough if I can keep my life. "Okay, now it's dark, and the undead monsters have descended into the darkness. Now we should start to separate into our own groups and go into the darkness with our human soldiers to fight." At this time, Zhang Caidong also called upon the humans from Blue Star to divide into several different groups and walk towards the darkness outside. Before they were ready to leave, he also warned them earnestly: "If you find a monster you can't resist, immediately retreat to the area illuminated by the torch tower, and don't fight. If you find a special situation, leave immediately, and don't go too far into the darkness. I think you should understand the danger." "I understand." These humans from Blue Star all nodded. They were not newbies who had risen from the basics. They had combat experience before, so they understood what Zhang Caidong's advice meant. Besides, the combat effectiveness of the Swadian civilians they have now is quite weak. Compared with the gnolls and lizardmen they had before, they are not worth mentioning at all. Just some armed peasants. Even saying that the peasants were armed praised them. Therefore, these senior and middle managers would not go too far into the darkness with these civilians, but would hold torches in the far distance. When they saw some skeletons or zombies, these clumsy undead monsters would rush over, kill some of them, and then retreat. This forms a sparrow tactic of harassing forward and then retreating when encountering a tough opponent. Anyway, those undead monsters don’t have any real intelligence. Just be careful and there's nothing wrong with that.
"And Bogo, come with me now. I have new recruits from Swadia here. Their fighting power is about the same as those of ordinary spirit creatures. Moreover, they are all equipped with long-handled sickles and can form a spear formation. There is no problem with their safety." After Zhang Caidong finished his instructions, he came to Zhang Bo's side. Looking at the little monsters holding daggers in their hands, he sighed: "As for them, tell them to be careful on the battlefield. If they don't act in time, their lives may be in danger." "Okay, I got it." Zhang Bo looked at the little monsters following him, who were only as tall as his thighs, and pursed his lips helplessly, especially when he saw them holding short swords, which were actually the same weapons as daggers. A helpless expression appeared on his face. For a little thing like this to be able to kill those clumsy zombies and skeleton soldiers is already a great achievement. But perhaps more often than not, it is these little monsters who, because they cannot dodge in time or are not flexible enough, turn around and run away when they encounter zombies and skeleton soldiers. "Fortunately, I am a prophecy mage. I have a relatively high soul energy. I don't need to resonate with these little monsters at the soul level. I can obtain the souls from the mage by just touching the magic network. Otherwise, if I really resonate with these little monsters and become short and ugly, I will be doomed." At this time, Zhang Bo also told Zhang Caidong a joke. This immediately caused Zhang Caidong to smile: "Brother Bo, don't say such things. No matter what you become, you are still my good brother. What's more, you are now a prophecy mage. When your level is improved in the future, even Lord Shen Mu will have to rely on you." "I hope so. Now I want to work hard and find more fragments of the spiritual world's imprints to make myself stronger." Zhang Bo smiled, and the relationship between the two became harmonious again. Then, together with Zhang Caidong, the Swadian recruits and about ten little goblins, they walked towards the darkness ahead. Then they started a fierce battle with the clumsy zombies and skeleton soldiers that appeared in the darkness. Of course, more of them were the Swadian recruits fighting against the zombies, skeletons and other undead monsters. The little goblins were just screaming in the back or watching the battle in front with fear, not daring to move forward, cowering in fear. Of course, it was impossible for Zhang Bo to bring these little goblins forward and fight side by side with these Swadian recruits. The reason he came here was not to find some fragments of the spiritual world mark as he said, but just to see what the human soldiers were like. "Maybe we can upgrade after tonight." At this time, Zhang Caidong didn't care whether he might leak some secrets. Besides, this kind of thing is now public information. As long as he is transferred to the position of centurion by Shen Mu, he will know the news naturally. Moreover, for Zhang Bo, whom he recognizes in his heart, Zhang Caidong does not want to use these insignificant things to cover up and appear stingy. (End of this chapter)
