Chapter 72 Leveling Time Arrives This "robber gathering place" can directly recruit this type of bandit-type soldiers between level . Then, through the "Lake Rat Gang Training Camp", they are transformed into the level. In a sense, their combat power is comparable to that of the Lake Rat Gang rookies of the third level. This really means that Shen Mu now has the ability to recruit an endless supply of Lake Rat Gang soldiers! "It's really perfect." Shen Mu exclaimed sincerely. He was quite adept at using the Lake Rat Gang's troops. It can be said. At present, the Swadian cavalry system has not yet been established. Most of the damage done to the enemy was done by the Lake Rat Gang soldiers who were able to throw javelins and use tomahawks. "Discover the robbers' gathering place!" Shen Mu's mind moved slightly, and he entered the third-person perspective again. 'Buzz!' The data stream came out again.
Just to the west of the village outside the main building of the castle, in the corner of the military camp area planned by Shen Mu, a building appeared. The building looked inconspicuous, in standard Swadian Kingdom style, also built with stone and wood, similar to the longhouses where ordinary civilians lived. And it looked no different from the 30 Swadian longhouses that had been deployed and neatly arranged in advance. But in the details, it can still be seen that the curtains of this slightly old long house are always drawn. Therefore, even if you look inside from the outside, you cannot see clearly what is inside. It looks mysterious. It does fit the appearance of a robbers' gathering place hidden in a town settlement. Shen Mu was quite satisfied from the third-person perspective. So he thought about it and communicated with the system again: "Deploy the mill and five bakeries on the edge of the residential area." 'Om! ' The rules of Mount and Blade are here again. Along with countless data streams began to entangle, in the southwest corner of the village, on the edge of the central residential area and the western trade area. Five bakeries consisting entirely of ovens and chopping boards, and a wind mill seven or eight meters high with a mill at the bottom and a large windmill composed of four long fans on top, were materialized by the Mount and Blade system. 'call--' At this moment, a breeze from the Suno Plain blew over Dehrim, a village that had just been established. It gave a shock to everyone who was still busy. On the wind mill that had just materialized, the huge windmill began to turn slowly with the breeze. It drives the primitive levers, gears and other machinery inside, turning the heavy millstone, which begins to make a 'squeaking' sound. The hulled wheat can be put in and ground into flour at any time. "It seems that my village will have fresh white bread to eat from now on."
Shen Mu's lips curled up slightly. He found it difficult to swallow just the roughly baked black bread that was made with the intention of extending its shelf life. Although Shen Mu knew and felt that after eating the food from the Mount and Blade world, he felt refreshed and his strength recovered quickly. However, after being baked, this bread became hard and tasted sour. Even after soaking in oatmeal porridge for half an hour, it would not dissolve. The black bread made Shen Mu feel sour in his cheeks when he bit it. Shen Mu really felt sorry for his stomach. And it's not just Shen Mu himself, but all the soldiers and civilians of Dehrim. From now on, you can avoid eating those specially prepared reserve grains! [Ding! 30 Vigia archers from the Vigia Kingdom were defeated by the Nordic army in the battle to defend "Wocheze" and fled the battlefield out of fear, losing their honor. However, they have become deserters and heard about you. They brought 2 light crossbows removed from the tower and 10 lactating cows they met on the road, intending to surrender to you and redeem their honor in the other world. ] While Shen Mu was still delighted, a new dialog box popped up again on his retina. Looking at the content above, Shen Mu raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly: "It seems that my other rewards have also arrived." These are all rewards from the silver draw and treasure chest. Whether it is the 30 Vikria archers who were deserters, or the two light crossbows brought by these archers as mentioned in the content. And we met 10 lactating cows on the road that were stranded in the wild because of the war. They were all brought together through the Mount and Blade system in a very coincidental way. Then they were all sent to Shen Mu. "Here it comes." Shen Mu's mind moved slightly, and he stood up and walked to the narrow window of the castle hall and looked out. The sky had already darkened at this time, and on the horizon outside the window, only a dim sunset was still struggling to release unwilling light. It seemed to symbolize the rules of the Blue Star, and it did not want to succumb to the tragic coming rules of the undead. But it was right beside my ear, faintly. There seemed to be a few mooing sounds of cows, accompanied by the sound of being driven, coming from outside the window. Just outside the east gate, Bandak was standing there, directing all the soldiers returning from the underground garage to come in in an orderly manner. And Shen Mu also saw 10 cows among the returning soldiers from hundreds of meters away. And, 30 new faces. There were 30 men wearing Davidicia felt hats and helmets, wearing animal skin sleeves, with quivers and nomadic scimitars hanging around their waists, and carrying a nomadic bow and a two-handed axe on their backs. They all had big beards on their faces and looked like tough guys who had just walked out of the cold mountains and forests. And while looking around, at those Swadian soldiers, or members of the Lake Rat Gang. There was also a hint of rebelliousness in his eyes. Although there was no active provocation. But when facing those gazes looking at them, they looked back without fear. Showing the spirit of toughness.
"A fourth-level Vikia archer." Shen Mu certainly knew the details of these new faces. The smile on his lips never faded. As a fourth-level long-range archer of the Kingdom of Vikia, he is also an archer specializing in bows and arrows. These are truly the fourth-level long-range shooters who were carefully selected from the Vikians who make a living by hunting on the Vikian snowfields. Has a fast rate of fire. The shooting accuracy is accurate. It has a series of advantages, such as being able to launch arrows in groups to cover the area with a rain of arrows. If these fourth-level Vikia archers were upgraded to the next level. That is the fifth-level Vikia Sharpshooter. The only two top shooters on the continent of Calradia in the world of Mount & Blade. One of them is a Rhodok Sniper Crossbowman from the Crossbowman department. He is a Wikia marksman. It’s the Archer department, the undisputed number one! Even now, what appeared in front of Shen Mu were just some fourth-level Vikia archers. But you have to understand that as a fourth-level archer from the Kingdom of Vikia, which is famous for its archers in the world of Mount and Blade, from proficiency to shooting skills, to shooting experience. They are all first class! Soon, led by Bandak, the 30 Vikia archers also arrived at the castle hall. They all stood in a row, respectfully touched their chests and saluted: "Hello, respected Lord Shen Mu." The attitude is extremely humble. "Well, hello." Shen Mu nodded in response. Seeing these Vegia archers who were a bit rebellious outside the castle just now, now so humble and uneasy after entering, Shen Mu understood why they were afraid. So he comforted them: "This is a different world far away from the Calradia continent. There is no need to talk about the past, but here, I hope you will use your bows and axes to prove your courage and honor." "Thank you Lord Shen Mu for your recognition, we will try our best!" These Vikia archers bowed their heads again. But this time, the voice of response also carried a hint of gratitude and determination. "Yeah, very good." Shen Mu nodded with satisfaction. "Lord Shen Mu, these archers from Vikia also brought two light crossbows. In this way, we now have four light crossbows." Bandak suggested at this time: "If possible, I would like to set up these crossbows on the city gates on both sides to attack enemies who may attack the city gates." "Then do as you say." Shen Mu always trusted Bandak to do things. "Also, these 30 Vikia archers will be incorporated into the ranks of long-range archers. You will be in charge of commanding and arranging the work yourself, Bandak." "Thank you for your trust. I will do all this." Bandak touched his chest and bent over to express his gratitude. After a brief chat about city defense, Bandak left with these Vikia archers.
Now, in the entire village of Dehrim, there are 50 mercenary crossbowmen who are capable of accurate shooting and excellent armor-piercing effect at close range. This is joined by 30 Vaegir Archers who can rapidly fire, creating waves of continuous arrows. It can be said that in terms of long-range firepower. There has been a qualitative improvement! Of course, when it comes to patrolling the city walls and standing guard, crossbowmen and archers need to be paired together. Bandak is very good at arranging this kind of work. "Then next, we should deal with the option of upgrading the troops." Shen Mu's thought communication system. Suddenly, a new dialog box began to flash on the retina in front of my eyes, popping up new content. [You have soldiers that can be upgraded! ] [① Villagers × 78, can be upgraded to 'Swadian Recruits (5 dinars each)'] 390 [② Robbers x 30, can be upgraded to 'Greenwood Bandits (20 dinars each)/Lake Rat Gang Rookies (20 dinars each and requires Lake Rat Gang Training Camp)'] 600 [③ Swadian Militia x 30, can be upgraded to 'Swadian Light Infantry (50 dinars each)'] 1500 [All the above upgrades cost a total of 2490 dinars. 】 [Yes/No Upgrade All? ] "Confirm to upgrade all." Looking at the contents in the dialog box in front of him, Shen Mu made a decision immediately without any hesitation. 'Om! ' The mysterious and powerful rules of Mount and Blade once again began to flow out from Shen Mu's brows, along with streams of data. It flashed across the castle hall in an instant and headed outside, wrapping around the Mount and Blade soldiers who were returning to their respective posts. They had experienced battles and had the experience points required for promotion. Those Swadian militiamen, or villagers, began their promotion on the spot. However, the robbers seemed to be guided by the white light formed by the data flow and all ran to the training camp of the Lake Rat Gang. As the data stream completely enveloped them, 30 new members of the Lake Rat Gang, wearing leather clothes, holding small-blade axes and old kite-shaped shields, with two sets of 8 harpoons each on their backs, appeared in the Lake Rat Gang training camp, shaking their necks and shoulders, with smug grins on their faces. Including the 30 Swadian light infantrymen not far away, who were wearing chain mail and had replaced their rifles with cannons. There were also those Swadian recruits who had picked up the old and shabby equipment they had dug out from the warehouse, but they had spears, mattocks, old wooden shields, and everything else. After receiving military training and cultivation, they could barely hold up the shields to resist the invading low-quality enemies. At this moment, the look in their eyes reveals the excitement of being eager to try and to achieve success! "It seems that the upgrade method of the underground garage is not bad. Clearing the two-story garage once can allow about 80 villagers to complete an upgrade." Shen Mu nodded and estimated the time. If we include tonight, we will go out to continue cleaning up the underground garage where the undead monsters have reappeared due to darkness and gray fog. Then with two days and two nights or a little more time, all 400 villagers will be able to complete the upgrade. "That's not bad." Shen Mu pursed his lips.
Through the small window. Shen Mu raised his head and looked into the distance. On Balihe Street, there were also some scattered flames on the buildings in other blocks. Those were bonfires lit by ordinary people living scattered around to resist the darkness and gray fog that was about to fall. Shen Mu narrowed his eyes and looked over carefully before darkness and fog fell. "The number has decreased a lot." Shen Mu saw that there used to be dozens of bright windows in every residential building or community. Now it has dwindled to very few. I thought of the remaining memories of my previous life and the hints that Zhang Song from the Green Leaf Group gave me. Shen Mu also had a guess in his mind: "Because the black tide is coming, in order to resist the endless attacks of the undead monsters during the black tide, a large number of Blue Star humans are needed to live in the territory, forming a special rule with dual protection of Blue Star rules and spirit world rules, so as to suppress the increasingly powerful undead rules." Shen Mu's predecessor once went to the Diesel Company's orc tribe and received shelter in this territory. I just couldn't stand the diesel company's outrageous behavior, so I ended up being a lone ranger. Encountering the Kuroshio Current. Then collect two weeks' worth of supplies, hide in a small corner, and lurk away stealthily. As long as they are not discovered by those undead monsters, they can actually survive for a long time. After all, when the black tide comes, those undead monsters will be attracted by the various territories under the influence of the rules of the Blue Star and the spirit world, and will take the initiative to launch attacks. This will give some ordinary people a chance to survive by hiding in the dark. "And if I remember correctly, nowadays, the work of most ordinary people... seems to be to go to these territories, pray as usual, and then receive some food as wages." Shen Mu's predecessor had not prayed many times. I was also annoyed by the boring routine of kneeling on a cushion with eyes closed and begging for shelter. So I never went there. Think about it now. Perhaps this kind of prayer that makes ordinary people pray sincerely is also closely related to the lord level. "Tsk." Shen Mu looked up at the last bit of sunset, and felt a little ridiculous: "Ordinary people still need to pray sincerely, and they can't be forced." Thinking of this, Shen Mu couldn't help but shook his head: "The rules of the spirit world are really troublesome." Where can you compare to my easy-to-use and user-friendly Mount & Blade system and the rules that extend from it? ! 'call! ' At this moment, as the last sunset disappeared, the entire blue star world suddenly turned upside down. The light disappears completely and darkness takes the stage. It only took half a second. Gray fog filled the air.
And in the gray fog, the undead monsters have once again taken advantage of the darkness and gray fog to come here! For ordinary people, or for humans on Blue Star, even for those lords. The time now has come, it is already a terrifying night. But for Shen Mu. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "It's time to level up." (End of this chapter)
