Chapter 41 The Blessing of Nature's Will "Sure enough, just like what I thought from a third-person perspective, it looks really good." While the 10 Swadian light infantrymen escorted Liu Na and her 12 halflings into the seventh floor and began to take charge of the harvesting and storage of the wheat fields, Shen Mu came out to visit the apartment that had been transformed by the magic ball. The main work is the renovation of the fifth and sixth floors. The ten-meter-wide central corridor has become wider, at least compared to the previous corridor that was less than two meters wide. It feels a lot more comfortable when walking, and there is no longer that oppressive feeling. "Master Shen Mu, these are the invaders we killed, some gnolls and spirit creatures called wild goblins." There was a senior thug from the Lake Rat Gang leading the way and explaining. Just in the corridor near the stairs, there were a large number of corpses of spiritual creatures lying on the ground. The ugly appearance and the foul smell made Shen Mu stop a few meters away and said casually: "Pick up all the usable weapons, and as for the bodies, dispose of them and throw them outside the apartment. At night, the undead monsters will help us deal with the bodies."
"Understood." The senior thugs of the Lake Rat Gang nodded, and then assigned a few people to deal with the bodies. The two men held each other's hands, grabbed the heads and feet of the corpses, blood dripping out, and then came to the staircase window at the end of the corridor, turned over and threw the corpses down. As the dull sound appeared, it also meant that the next step of handling the matter would be handed over to the darkness and the undead monsters. At night, the undead monsters will naturally devour the flesh and blood of these corpses. If these corpses are lucky. Perhaps there are also undead rules entering their corpses, turning them into skeletons or zombies, and becoming new undead monsters. "Maybe there will be a chance for you to take revenge on me." Shen Mu looked at the blood on the ground and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. However, there was no real smile on Shen Mu's face. Because he knows it very well. His troops defeated the bandits and let them escape. Then, they would definitely be retaliated by the bandits. Shen Mu also speculated that the background of the robbers who attacked this time might be the villains from the Diesel Company! "Only the drivers of the diesel company's fleet dare to be so arrogant in the Balihe Street area, robbing and killing people at will." Shen Mu snorted coldly. Looking at the 10-meter-wide central corridor, he had a few more thoughts in his mind: "Next, we have to station the Lake Rat Gang members at the stairs, and the Swadian infantry and cavalry must also be moved to the castle hall and be ready for deployment at any time." The terrain changes on the fifth and sixth floors, including this wide central corridor, were actually done intentionally by Shen Mu. The width of 10 meters is more than enough to deploy the spear phalanx. Even at critical moments. For example, when the enemy's attack was too swift, they would withdraw the spear phalanx and directly order the 10 Swadian heavy cavalry to charge from the castle, with 5 men in a row and 10 men in two lines, holding up their nearly 4-meter-long cavalry spears, and completing a devastating frontal charge. By then, not to mention these skinny gnolls, even the short wild goblins, I’m afraid they can all be taken away with just one charge! After destroying the formations of these invading enemies.
Whether it was the Swadian infantry pushing forward with a phalanx of spears, or the Lake Rat Gang thugs throwing javelins and then charging with axes. Both can cause greater damage to the enemy! "Unfortunately, when those guys attacked before, my Swadian heavy cavalry was still on the seventh floor and couldn't come down. I don't know what happened." Shen Mu's eyes were filled with regret: "Otherwise, with my 10 Swadian heavy cavalry, we can directly destroy these invading spiritual creatures in one wave, and we won't let so many of them escape!" If Shen Mu knew, he would have moved the Swadian heavy cavalry to the castle hall in advance. The results will definitely be greater! But it's too late to regret now. At that time, Shen Mu really didn't expect that a battle would suddenly break out, and then his own cavalry soldiers spontaneously defeated the enemy and won. "Let's take a look at the buildings on the sixth and seventh floors." Shen Mu didn't think too much about it. He went back to the main building of his castle and went up the spiral staircase in the tower. The original location of the sixth floor has now become the lord's residence above the castle hall. It is still composed of bedrooms, storage rooms, rooms with shooting holes for crossbowmen to station, and an additionally designed balcony with concave and convex battlements, which can also allow crossbowmen to station and shoot. "On the second floor of the castle, plus the two towers next to it, it should be no problem to station about 50 crossbowmen." After Shen Mu visited the second floor of the castle one by one, he already had an idea in his mind. Especially the top floor of the second floor of the castle, there is a flat terrace that overlooks the central corridor in front of the entire castle, with an excellent view. In the eyes of those in power, this is undoubtedly a good place for speeches or military parades. Shen Mu's eyes now lit up. "If we set up the crossbow here, wouldn't it be the same as setting it up on the roof of the main house? The crossbow's firing range can cover the entire 10-meter-wide central corridor. If we encounter an enemy, we can just use the crossbow to attack directly!" Moreover, there is enough space on the rooftop terrace to place two crossbows. We can also deploy some more archers here! "Well, that's pretty good." Shen Mu was quite satisfied with his idea. After all, as long as this apartment building is used as a base, then no matter what, as long as the enemy comes from the ground, the attack direction can only be along the stairs and the central corridor, and they will have to endure several rounds of long-range arrow attacks first. Then... you will have to face the Swadian Kingdom's spear phalanx, which is second only to the Rhodok Kingdom. "Maybe there will be a charge of heavy cavalry." Shen Mu chuckled. Then leave from the second floor of the castle, follow the spiral staircase of the tower, and you will arrive at the main house of the stronghold again. At this time, at the stairs of the main house of the stronghold, five Swadian light infantrymen were standing guard. There were also five Swadian light infantrymen sitting on both sides of the long table in the main house of the stronghold, waiting for their shifts on guard. "Lord Shen Mu." When they saw Shen Mu coming, they all stood up and saluted. "Yeah." Shen Mu nodded, gestured for them to sit down again, and then looked at the wheat field outside the main house of the stronghold.
At this time, the wall of the seventh floor has been completely opened up. In the middle of the two acres of wheat field is a 2-meter aisle, symbolizing the former corridor, and many load-bearing columns standing there represent the apartment rooms that were evenly distributed before. Of course, now all that are left are these two wheat fields of 2 acres each. Lush wheat grows in fertile soil. There is still one acre of wheat field that has not been harvested. The wheat ears with distinct grains hang their heads slightly, and as the breeze blows in from the window, a rustling sound of friction can be heard. Moreover, the breeze brought the fragrance of wheat. Shen Mu walked over. I saw the halflings running happily in the wheat field with excited looks and actions. Lian Liu Na took off the black robe and hood she had been wearing on her head, walked barefoot on the fertile soil, knelt beside the ridges of the wheat field, and held the lush wheat that was ready to be harvested in her hands. Her pale and pretty little face was filled with a kind of immersed happiness. "It's nature! It's nature!" The halfling elder Pero was beside her and said excitedly: "Miss Liuna, feel these natural things, maybe you can gather the heart of a druid and become a true, respected level 3 druid!" "I have felt it...in my mind, the love for this piece of nature." Liu Na also murmured, with an excited blush on her little face. "Thank you, Lord Shen Mu, for your kindness in accepting me!" At this time, these halflings also noticed Shen Mu's arrival, and they all hurriedly stood up and bowed to Shen Mu. Including Liu Na, who stood up hurriedly, her face flushed, and lowered her head, not daring to look at others. And the very excited elder Pero standing nearby. Now they no longer feel the helplessness they had when they were under house arrest. Instead, I was filled with excitement and admiration in my heart. Of course there is still awe. However, when they looked at Shen Mu again, their eyes were shining, and they all admired Shen Mu, the young man who had inherited the lord's legacy and became the lord of the spirit world! "Yeah." Shen Mu chuckled and nodded: "It seems that you like these two acres of wheat fields very much." "Of course!" Elder Pero said excitedly, "We halflings like the wheat fields and orchards in the manor, and we also like this peaceful life!" "Then I will give you these." Shen Mu smiled and nodded again: "Besides, whether it is the future orchard or the current wheat field, harvesting and planting, I also need you to help me share some of the civilian work." "Of course we will!" Elder Pero bowed excitedly again, touching his chest and saluting: "It is our honor!" "It's our pleasure!" These halflings all bowed and saluted, extremely excited, and their attitude towards Shen Mu also changed from being reluctant at the beginning to being willing to follow him wholeheartedly! "Very good." Shen Mu nodded with satisfaction. Now, he showed his wheat trump card, and it was obvious that he had truly conquered these halflings. This is pretty cool. "Hey, Miss Liu Na, please show your druid power to Lord Shen Mu."
At this time, Elder Pero reached out and pulled Liu Na, who was still standing stiffly beside him, with a red face and lowered head, not daring to speak: "It's the kind of druid power that can make plants grow better, the kind of magical power!" "Ah?" Liu Na finally understood that this was a way for her to demonstrate her own value. So Liu Na slowly stretched out her little hand, and then a green ball of light condensed in the palm of her hand. 'Om! ' And a special wave instantly began to spread from Liu Na's body and extended to the surroundings, especially the two acres of wheat fields. Even the people present, whether it was Shen Mu, the halfling, or the two Swadian infantrymen following Shen Mu, all vaguely sensed something... After this special wave spread across the wheat field, what it revealed was actually a kind of pleasure and joy! At this moment, the dialog box popped up again in front of Shen Mu. [Ding!
