Chapter 70 An overwhelming victory "kill!" When Shen Mu came down from the first floor of the underground garage, fierce fighting had already begun at the ramp entrance and exit on the second floor of the garage. The scene entered a white-hot stage in just a few minutes! The fully-armed Swadian soldiers in front and the Swadian militia in the back were like the solidest reefs, holding up wave after wave of attacks from the skeleton warriors rushing out of the darkness in front of them with all kinds of weapons, and they remained motionless! "Skeleton warrior." Shen Mu certainly knew what this kind of skeleton was, covered in relatively intact armor that had a certain protective effect. It is an advanced version of an ordinary low-level skeleton, with bones all over the body being harder. The fire of the soul burns more vigorously. Negative energy is stronger. Equally powerful in combat are the skeleton warriors, the real main force among the skeleton-type undead monsters! 'Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!'
Just as Shen Mu had just come down, he saw those skeleton warriors who emerged from the darkness, holding spears or lances, scimitars and shields, and violently attacking the shield wall and spear phalanx formed by the Swadian soldiers. A series of shrieking sounds breaking through the air suddenly appeared from the darkness along with black shadows. "Shield!" The expression of the senior thug from the Lake Rat Gang who was following Shen Mu suddenly changed. He raised the zither-shaped shield in his hand and formed two shield walls in front of Shen Mu. 'Ding ding ding ding!' Then the kite-shaped shield shook slightly. Seven or eight tail feathers had turned black and rotten, and even the arrow shaft was faintly black. The feather arrow, which looked extremely evil, had been nailed to the shield. "Be careful of the archers!" these veteran thugs of the Lake Rat Gang issued a warning. Because it's right behind. Many villagers were waiting at the double ramp with torches in their hands. Not only did they not have shields to use, they were also wearing thin coarse linen robes. It is suitable for daily use such as shielding the body, blocking the wind, and keeping away the cold. Arrived on the battlefield. This coarse linen clothing was no different from being naked to those sharp arrows or scimitars and swords. If you are unlucky enough to be hit in the vitals by these arrows shot from the darkness, you will die. They must hide to avoid damage from long-range shooters. "The combat effectiveness of these skeleton warriors is much stronger than those ordinary skeletons." Shen Mu's face became solemn at this time. He took the Holy Tree Cavalry Shield off the hook behind him and put it on his left arm. He pushed aside the two veteran Lake Rat Gang thugs who were protecting him and came to the rear of the Swadian militia. Looking at the groups of skeleton warriors rushing towards them in the darkness and gray fog.
Then, they were turned into scattered bones by the Swadian soldiers and militiamen. However, they continued to rush over. I was slightly moved in my heart: "My soldiers should get more experience points by killing these skeleton warriors according to the rules of Mount and Blade." if it is like this. Those villagers who came over there did not personally engage in the fierce hand-to-hand combat on the front line. Maybe the upgrade speed will be faster! "That's good." A smile appeared on Shen Mu's lips. Looking at the black shadows appearing in the darkness ahead and the sharp sound of tearing the air apart. He subconsciously raised the Holy Tree Cavalry Shield in his left hand. 'Boom! ' A force immediately came from my left arm. At the same time, as the dull sound of the hit was heard, a feathered arrow with a broken shaft appeared on the Holy Tree Cavalry shield on Shen Mu's left arm. There were also thirty or forty more feather arrows on the shields of the mounted soldiers around Shen Mu. Apparently, in the darkness and fog. The skeleton archers among the undead monsters obviously 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! It was just like the skeleton warriors in front of them, still rushing out from the darkness and gray fog with a crackling sound. Their numbers were increasing, and they also raised their rotten and tattered spears and lances, forming a spear phalanx that looked like a real person and charged forward! Unfortunately, these skeleton warriors are much stronger than skeletons. But facing the fifth-level Swadian sergeant, who had to fight his way out of the battlefield to advance, he still had no way to deal with this top-level line-carrying infantry! The conical-headed spear in the hands of the Swadian sergeant was nearly 4 meters long. These soldiers' arms are also full of muscles. Strengthen the waist and abdomen. Even if he holds the gun with one hand, the force and angle of the stab are fierce and accurate. These are much stronger than skeletons. However, the skeleton warriors were still clumsy and slow in their movements. They did not know how to cooperate with each other and only knew to fight according to the obsessions left over from their lifetime. At the first encounter, they would be beaten into useless bone fragments all over the ground. Even if the Skeleton Warriors went around to both sides, they were still helpless against those veteran thugs of the Lake Rat Gang! The Lake Rat Gang's senior fighters also wore kite-shaped shields on their left arms and held woodland axes in their right hands. In the face of this melee, cooperate with each other. Use a shield to block the spears and lances that are thrust at you, then swing a woodland axe to break the already rotten spear or gun shaft. Then use the kite-shaped shield to protect half of the body. Several flexible advances. He came to the side of the skeleton warrior, swung the woodland axe, and easily cracked the skull with a slight metallic luster into pieces. It directly caused the soul fire inside to shake violently, destroying the negative energy circuit.
The same thing happened: these skeleton warriors were beaten into pieces of bones all over the ground! Even with their advance. Plus the light of torches. In the entrance and exit area of the second-floor double ramp of this underground garage. Whether it is the cooperation between Swadian sergeants and militiamen, or the cooperation between these veteran thugs and robbers of the Lake Rat Gang. In addition, Bandak ordered free shooting and began to accurately shoot the hired crossbowmen of the skeleton warriors. They actually began to advance towards deeper positions. So much so that even though the number of those so-called skeleton warriors was increasing, there were still archers shooting arrows at them from the darkness from time to time. But it still couldn't cover up the fact that Shen Mu led his troops to continue sweeping the entire second floor of the underground garage! "Master Shen Mu, I seem to have found the general direction of those archers." At this time, Bandak looked up into the darkness on the second floor of the underground garage. Even though darkness and black fog still shrouded the place, he said with certainty, relying on his intuition honed on the battlefield: "If we launch an assault in that direction, we may be able to find those archers and eliminate these nasty guys directly!" The archers' attacks were unable to penetrate the armor of these Swadian soldiers. but. It can still pose a threat to the Lake Rat Gang members and those unarmored villagers and robbers. Including those mercenary crossbowmen in cotton robes. If you are slightly careless. They will also be harmed by the skeleton archers in the darkness, resulting in casualties! Shen Mu also understood that the best situation now was to take advantage of this fierce momentum to continue advancing deeper and find those skeleton archers. Then kill them completely, and you can solve the problem of having to be careful and guard against sneak attacks at all times! "That's it." Shen Mu nodded. This is also what Shen Mu wanted to do. "Members of the Lake Rat Gang, follow me!" Shen Mu stretched out his hand and pulled the Holy Tree Cavalry Sword from its sheath at his waist, then cut off the feather arrow nailed on it. Looking at the 25 veteran thugs of the Lake Rat Gang who had gathered around, he led the team and rushed forward. "And those robbers!" Bandak looked at Shen Mu leading the charge with some anxiety on his face, but he did not stop him. Instead, he turned his head and said to the 30 robbers in a deep voice: "Light the torches, follow those Lake Rat Gang guys, and remember to keep the torches burning!" "Understood!" The 30 robbers did not hesitate at this time. With the butcher knife tightly gripped in his right hand and the torch held high in his left hand, he quickly caught up with the senior thugs of the Lake Rat Gang. Try to use the torches as brightly as possible to dispel the darkness and fog around you. And Bandak took over the command. This is the tacit understanding on the battlefield. "Hire crossbowmen!" Bandak said again in a deep voice: "Fire a round of volleys in the direction where the enemy archers are shooting!"
"Understood!" The 30 mercenary crossbowmen who followed immediately raised their crossbows. Then he pulled the trigger, and a row of crossbows fired a volley at close range, whizzing away into the darkness. The sound of crossbow arrows hitting bones or armor. The robbers' torches shone past. On the road ahead. Four or five skeleton warriors with metallic luster, holding scimitars or long swords and shields, were hit in the head or joints and scattered on the ground. But before the skeleton warriors could react. Shen Mu rushed in front, holding up the shield with his left arm and wielding the Holy Tree Cavalry Sword with his right hand. He was wearing a heavy chain armor that seemed to be bright silver and a white linen robe on the outside. He rushed in brazenly! It has all the templates of the fourth-level cavalry of the Holy Tree series in the world of Mount and Blade Pendor. Including all combat experience and skills. Plus a calm mindset. The resulting enhanced version of Shen Mu, based on the Holy Tree Cavalry template, is considered to be a fifth-order soldier with skills and spellcasting abilities. Really strong! "kill!" What's more, following behind him was a veteran thug from the Lake Rat Gang, holding a woodland axe and with a ferocious and excited face. The groups of skeleton warriors were beaten on the spot and turned into bone fragments all over the ground. It fell to the ground in pieces with a crash! Set off Shen Mu... It was as if he had become invincible among this group of skeleton warriors! Like a crushing force. He rushed out of the battle formation formed by this group of skeleton warriors. I saw the skeleton archers behind me holding longbows and pulling out black feather arrows from the quivers on their backs! "Bang!" The Holy Tree Cavalry Shield on Shen Mu's left arm directly blocked the scimitar that was chopped over. The rusty and blackened scimitar was so shattered by the huge reaction force after it hit the shield that four or five soybean-sized gaps appeared on the blade. Even at the handle of the knife, one could clearly see wood chips falling off due to the erosion of the power of the undead. If you chop him four or five more times like this. No need for anyone else. The weapon used by the Skeleton Warrior will completely shatter and turn into a pile of useless scrap metal! But this skeleton warrior can't do that. "kill!" Right next to Shen Mu, a senior fighter from the Lake Rat Gang kicked a skeleton warrior who was about to chop at Shen Mu and sent him flying.
The woodland axe in his hand fell from top to bottom, letting the heavy force and sharp axe blade fall. 'Boom! ' With a muffled sound. In an instant, the skeleton warrior's crown was smashed to pieces, and the soul fire was suddenly extinguished. The entire skeleton collapsed and turned into debris on the ground. However, this scene is a microcosm of the battle that is happening quickly around Shen Mu! These veteran Lake Rat Gang thugs, who were wearing multiple layers of leather clothing that wasn't even considered light armor, were very agile. With high attack and low defense, they fully utilized the advantage of melee at this time. It's like a meat grinder. Quickly harvesting the soul fire of those skeleton warriors who were not holding long pole weapons but only scimitars or long swords and round shields. Send them all back, one by one, to the quiet place where only the dead should return! There is no single enemy! "Follow me!" "kill!" Shen Mu adjusted his breathing at this time and swung the Holy Tree Cavalry Sword in his hand again. Smash the two skeleton warriors that pounced on him. Looking at the dim environment around him, he made a quick effort to determine the direction. Thanks to the robbers behind him who were still holding butcher knives and torches, they had not completely left the light range of the square formation formed by the Swadian soldiers and the militiamen. Then he turned around and rushed towards the back of the skeleton warriors holding spears and lances! The Swadian sergeants and Swadian militia were also advancing. But facing the mutual stabbing of the spear phalanx. The efficiency of advancement is undoubtedly much slower. What's more, behind them, a large number of villagers rushing down with pitchforks and sticks still need the protection of these Swadian soldiers and militiamen. Therefore, when Shen Mu rushed towards those clumsy skeleton spearmen who had no time to react from behind. Attack from both sides. In an instant, those skeleton spearmen who had their backs to him and were unable to even resist were just like standing there like training poles. Every time he swung his weapons, they would be turned into skeletons that shattered all over the ground! You only need to hit the back of the head to kill the person. It’s so easy that you don’t even need to think! "Switch to holding the gun with both hands! Take ten steps forward! Push forward!" At this moment, Bandak caught this crucial opportunity and issued an order: "All villagers! Follow forward! Attack!" Faced with a successful rear charge by their own troops, the troops holding the line will of course be boosted in morale! The villagers who rushed down from the first floor of the underground garage saw this scene. Faced with the favorable situation that had defeated the enemy when it was down, they excitedly raised their weapons and strode forward, following the Swadian soldiers and militiamen. Stepping on bones that have become brittle due to the loss of soul fire and the circuits entangled with negative energy. They actually charged forward more aggressively! If we talk about the first floor of the underground garage, there are only about six or seven hundred skeletons or zombies, these low-level undead monsters roaming around. But it's on the second floor of the underground garage.
Those who appeared were all skeleton warriors who had obsessions in their lifetime and still retained certain organizational and battlefield combat capabilities. These villagers remain fearless. Following in front were the Swadian soldiers and militiamen who were like sharp knives. It was like a flood. They also rushed deep into the monsters that were more numerous and organized more like undead troops, and a fierce battle was in progress! "No wonder in my previous life's memory, everyone who is still surviving on Blue Star, even professionals or lords, are so wary of these underground garages or high-rise buildings, as well as those large-scale shopping malls and complexes." Shen Mu slowed down his charge at this time, and felt that his physical strength was too depleted. After all, he had just rushed through a group of skeleton warriors. Even the chain mail and fine linen robe he was wearing had some scratches and tears in some places. Not to mention the surface of the shield on his left arm. It was full of potholes and knife marks. However, there was no fear on Shen Mu's face. He looked at the large number of torches in front of him, which began to illuminate the second floor of the small underground garage. He also vaguely saw a lot of abandoned vehicles and dusty buildings. Finally, he turned his attention to the bones that were trampled into smaller pieces and scattered all over the ground. Shen Mu pursed his lips: "That's why I have the Mount and Blade system, and the soldiers and civilians that emerge from the system continuously, and can be promoted through war." A constant supply of soldiers means a constant supply of manpower. There is no need to consume spiritual world imprints or crystal core fragments like other humans do to summon followers of spiritual creatures. They can only be summoned from the shattered fantasy crystal wall system that has lost time and space to become their helpers. It is also necessary to seriously resonate with these spiritual creatures at the soul level. Only in this way can we finally perfectly require these spiritual creatures to obey our commands. Shen Mu doesn't need to do anything. He is human. Also human. Moreover, he holds the top-level authority of the Mount and Blade system. The summoned Mount and Blade soldiers and personnel have permanent and constant loyalty. Plus there are battles taking place in this world. It also counts as combat experience. Can be promoted directly by the Mount and Blade system at the rule level. Compared to the humans on Blue Star who still need to work hard to cultivate those spiritual creatures, this is like a fool-proof, extremely simple operation!
This can be said to be Shen Mu’s golden finger! And just when Shen Mu was deep in thought. The battle is about to come to an end. After all, the underground garage itself is not too big, and the main body is just four apartment buildings. Basically, these three hundred people swept through the main force of the Undead forces that had been completely defeated. Victory has already arrived. More than half an hour later. A dialog box appeared in front of Shen Mu's eyes. [Ding! Congratulations! Your mission is completed! ] 【You have received the following rewards...】 (End of this chapter)
