Chapter 129: The Excitement of the Humans on Blue Star
On the top of a seemingly ordinary residential building that happened to be in an area with a wide view, a red advertising banner was thrown directly from the roof.
It said something like "Longsheng Garden Community, second-hand school district housing, special offer of 20% discount, welcome to inquire."
Of course, there is also the real estate agency’s consultation hotline number.
Looks very ordinary.
Even the hanging advertising banners looked like they were casually thrown down by someone. If you didn't look carefully, it wouldn't attract anyone's attention.
But it was precisely this small detail that was exploited by Shen Mu and Zhang Caidong.
At the bottom of the residential building, Shen Mu was sitting on the steps waiting quietly.
All around, Holy Tree Knights and Swadian Knights holding spears were already on guard at various key points, looking around vigilantly.
As long as there is the slightest sign of trouble, they will immediately display their fighting stance.
After all, this is the edge of Diesel Company's sphere of influence.
Be careful about everything.
After not even asking why he had thrown down the banner, Fatis returned from the rooftop to the ground floor.
As for Shen Mu, he didn't even go up the stairs.
the reason is simple.
I'm just afraid that I'll be trapped in this residential building, and then I'll be stuck on the rooftop. That would be like being caught in a jar, unable to move forward or backward.
At least in this residential building, if there are really enemies coming, they will be discovered by these knights very quickly.
When the time comes, just ride on your war horse and run away.
Just by looking at the clumsy appearance of those pig-headed men, or the two legs of other spiritual creatures.
Trying to catch up with them on their war horses.
That is nothing short of a fantasy.
"somebody is coming!"
Just as Shen Mu and the others were waiting quietly, about 20 minutes later, four or five figures appeared on the community road outside the residential building.
They are all humans from Blue Star.
There are no ethereal followers following behind.
It looked as if there was some special little secret that required them to come together for a secret meeting.
This is very common in this age of undead rule.
After all, who doesn’t have a little secret, or a safe place to store personal belongings?
For those Blue Star humans who followed Zhang Caidong and have become captains of various temporary caravans, they can now enter and exit the city gates at will without much restriction. All they have to do is return before dark.
"They are some of the captives we took back then." After identification, Fatis also recognized that these humans from Blue Star were among the 16 captives back then.
He looked again at the place behind them from when they came, and there was nothing unusual.
He nodded and said, "Let them come over."
Immediately, a Swadian heavy cavalry nodded, turned out from behind the corner where they were originally hiding, and came to the front of the four or five Blue Star humans.
He waved to them and said in a deep voice, "Over here, come over here."
The four or five Blue Star humans looked solemn. They glanced behind them and made sure that no one was following them before they walked over quickly.
"Why are we suddenly using signals?" asked one of the humans from Blue Star.
But before he could finish his words.
There was a slight daze in his eyes.
Because just as he turned the corner, he saw hundreds of human heavy cavalrymen, all of whom were ready for battle, and his eyes narrowed because of nervousness.
Especially when he saw Shen Mu sitting in the middle position, wearing the iconic, highly recognizable armor with golden patterns.
They walked over quickly and bowed respectfully, "Master Shen Mu."
Although this human lord is also a human from Blue Star.
But he is obviously in a high position and has great power.
Look at these well-equipped heavy cavalry around you, they are armed to the teeth.
As well as the towns and castles seen before, and the thousands of more infantry, crossbowmen, and so on.
They understood that the fellow human being before them was not on the same level as them, and they had to treat him seriously, with the same attitude as when meeting Xue Zhigang, the general manager of the diesel company.
"Yeah." Shen Mu raised his head and looked calmly at the five Blue Star humans in front of him.
He held out his hand and motioned for them to stand again.
Then he asked directly: "Where is Zhang Caidong? Why didn't he come?"
"Zhang Caidong has now become the deputy minister of the Ministry of Transport and is selecting a group of temporary workers and intends to sign contracts with them to become his subordinates."
The Blue Star human in the front spoke frankly, "All 15 of us have been promoted to captains and vice-captains. Each of us has four or five people under us. In addition, each of us has more than 10 followers in the spirit world. We can be said to have temporarily controlled a force of about 1000 people."
"Yes, Zhang Caidong can't be too ostentatious now, so he sent us here to communicate with you, Lord Shen Mu." The other humans from Blue Star also nodded and explained.
"Is that so?" Shen Mu frowned slightly.
"We have no intention of betraying you, Lord Shen Mu." When these humans from Blue Star saw Shen Mu frowning, they obviously understood that this was a look of dissatisfaction from Shen Mu.
So he quickly explained: "After all, you hold our lives in your hands, and we dare not go against your wishes. As long as you make arrangements, we will immediately surrender, including Zhang Caidong. We have already betrayed the diesel company, and now we dare not continue to betray you."
This is said with great humility.
Almost panic-stricken.
In fact, it is exactly as they said.
He has already betrayed the Diesel Company, and if he betrays Shen Mu again.
Just give the key information about their betrayal in that battle.
In the end, none of them will survive!
Because what they betrayed was not the diesel company, but the regular employees, an interest group that had been formed before the undead rules came into being.
They are also extremely xenophobic and look down on temporary workers like them.
Even if they were promoted from substitutes to regular employees, they would never be able to integrate into the core circle of real regular employees.
Therefore, these guys who used to be temporary workers no longer dared to betray Shen Mu.
"Well, I see."
Although Shen Mu said this, he was not interested in this topic.
Because his troops are already on the way.
It will take about 20 minutes to get here.
At the latest in 60 minutes, he would lead his troops to launch a raid, attack the diesel company's headquarters, and kill the orc tribe.
So understand clearly the current diesel company map, internal routes, and various nodes.
And where is the chieftain's tent of the diesel company.
These are the most important things!
"Tell me about it."
So Shen Mu asked directly, and asked Fatis next to him to take out paper and pen and pass them to these humans from Blue Star.
"We understand." These humans from Blue Star immediately understood what Shen Mu meant.
He picked up a pen and paper and quickly drew the internal map of the diesel company.
It is highlighted which pier belongs to which department.
Which tower has garrison troops?
Under the pier there are tents and shacks where ordinary people live.
The aisles there allow you to quickly navigate through them and reach your destination in the shortest possible time.
Extremely detailed.
It can be said that there is no concealment at all.
"Sir, this is the internal map of the Diesel Company. These are the places that need attention."
These Blue Star humans also showed the map in detail to Shen Mu and Fatis: "This is the destroyed east city gate. It has not been repaired yet. It is just propped up with wood from the back. It can barely keep out those low-level undead monsters at night."
"That's right, Lord Shen Mu, if your troops want to attack, then it would be best to attack from here."
Another human from Blue Star said, "And our people are guarding this place too. With just one signal, we can remove all the wood behind the city gate, open the city gate, and let your troops attack directly!"
Now they all understood that Shen Mu, the human lord, was planning to attack the Diesel Company's orc tribe and have a decisive battle.
As a temporary worker who has always been oppressed, treated as inferior, and like a servant.
These humans from Blue Star actually had some happy thoughts in their minds.
If Diesel loses the war.
Then, the heroes of the human lords like themselves will definitely be able to obtain credit and rewards.
By then, I can just rest on my laurels.
perhaps…
You can become a formal employee of the next new force and no longer have to live in fear like now!
Therefore, these five Blue Star humans, who had no way back, made up their minds and decided to go all the way.
Maybe it’s not dark, but a bright future.
So he pointed to the simple map he had drawn and explained it in more detail.
"Master Shen Mu, after you seize the city gate, go straight ahead. On the platform in the middle is the chieftain's tent of the Diesel Company. Xue Zhigang is inside."
"After we returned, we spread rumors that the regular employees were planning to purge us, and to stir up conflict between the temporary workers and the regular employees. We also told the long-time regular employees that the temporary workers were planning to riot."
"In that case, I will take people to clean up and clear the road garbage, and let temporary workers occupy the main roads first."
"After your troops rush in, Lord Shen Mu, go and kill Xue Zhigang directly. We will stop the spiritual forces of the veteran regular staff. Although we can't stop them for too long, we can still hinder their rescue."
"The only thing I'm worried about is that next to Xue Zhigang's chieftain's tent, there are many elite pig-headed leaders who are over 2 meters tall. They are quite powerful."
"That's right. If we want to get there, we have to kill them. There are probably more than 500 of them!"
These humans from Blue Star explained it in detail.
Beside.
Fatis used the pencil and notebook in his hand to quickly record the relevant content.
Frown slightly.
There was a more solemn look on his face as he listened to what these humans from Blue Star said.
This is all thanks to the Blue Star humans who were released back as insiders and provided detailed answers to various internal intelligence about the Diesel Company.
Looking at the dozen or so piers, the rammed earth walls around the piers, the roads underneath, the ramps built on the piers, and even the pits inside the piers for living, the densely packed appearance made Fatis, who was accustomed to town life, feel that the environment was too complicated.
Moreover, the living habits of these orcs from another world are completely different from those of humans.
As a result, he could not use his experience of living and fighting in Calradia to build the Orc tribe.
However, the only thing that comforted Fatis was the straight road marked out.
He asked in a deep voice:
"As long as we rush along this road, we can directly reach the central tower of the Diesel Company, and then rush up to meet the Orc Lord, right?"
"That's right!" The Blue Star humans nodded affirmatively, with a bit of fanaticism in their eyes: "Killing him will completely remove the anchor points of those pig-headed elite leaders. At that time, the Blue Star rules will expel all of these pig-headed elite leaders from the Blue Star world!"
There is still one more thing left to say.
That is, those heroes who helped the human lord kill the orc lord can enjoy the life they once dreamed of in the Blue Star world!
It can be expected.
If this plan really succeeds.
Then Shen Mu, the new human leader, will incorporate the entire Blue Star humans and the remaining forces of the Orc tribe.
By then, there will be tens of thousands of Blue Star humans, most of whom will be ordinary people. There will definitely need to be more advanced Blue Star humans, that is, middle-level or high-level humans, to manage them, right?
Then, those who are the first to surrender are definitely the designated managers.
Directly from the lowest class to the top, this is a huge change in status.
These guys, who were originally a little nervous about being an insider or a spy, are now becoming more and more excited about the upcoming raid.
"Very good, very good." Shen Mu saw the excitement of the five Blue Star humans and understood what they were thinking.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He was quite good at writing blank checks. "Everyone, as long as you can help me successfully defeat the Diesel Company, my new territory is still lacking ministers in many departments. If you are competent, then it is entirely up to you to decide who is capable of being a minister. I will never interfere."
"This!" The five humans from Blue Star all had expressions of shock on their faces.
"This is absolutely true." Shen Mu looked at them, slowly stood up, and patted their shoulders: "I am in great need of help, and you, the first friends who came to me, as long as you can help me win this battle, no matter what department is established, or the captain or vice-captain of each team, I swear, it's all yours."
"Respected Lord Shen Mu, joining you is our most honorable choice in life." These humans from Blue Star immediately bowed their heads, their bodies shaking with excitement.
Now that things have come to this, they no longer care whether this is a big deal or not.
He nodded quickly in response.
After all, they also understood that Shen Mu, the human lord, was high above everyone else, and the entire human territory depended entirely on the lord's mark obtained by him to be anchored in this blue star world.
Others can't take it away easily.
Therefore, he was born with an absolute commanding position and could directly control the entire human territory.
Then, there were indeed no humans from Blue Star to help him.
He really needs some trustworthy humans from Blue Star to help him manage the entire territory and help him arrange for ordinary people to punch in at work and pray to provide spiritual power.
Before, these humans on Blue Star had already learned about the entire huge human castle and town.
I didn’t even see the Blue Star humans and the Blue Star human management around Shen Mu.
In addition, from what I heard before, Shen Mu was just an ordinary person with good luck.
I don’t have many friends around me.
It is hard to guess that this lucky young man directly obtained a spiritual territory with a large amount of faith value and recruited many spiritual human followers in a short period of time.
But no human from Blue Star helped him.
There is not enough faith value for him to maintain the operation of the entire human territory in the spiritual world.
We can only confront the diesel company head-on.
If people like them turned against the human race and became the human lord Shen Mu, the first people they would come into contact with would be the humans from Blue Star who would be the first to surrender.
Then the management position was nominated by themselves and recommended to Shen Mu.
And then he was appointed without hesitation?
"Master Shen Mu, we will go back and make arrangements. If possible, please wait for about an hour."
These Blue Star humans exchanged a few words briefly, and then said to Shen Mu: "When the time comes, we will have people wave gray flags made of rags on the city gates, and then it will be time for you to launch a general attack!"
"That's right, Lord Shen Mu. We will stir up conflict within the Orc tribe to cause chaos, and spread false information so that the main force composed of official staff will not be able to figure out what is going on!"
"In this process, as long as you can kill Xue Zhigang in the shortest possible time, we will win!"
When these humans from Blue Star thought of this, their faces turned red with excitement.
"Okay, let's proceed according to this plan." Shen Mu nodded.
"Then let's prepare first!" The five humans from Blue Star saluted respectfully, then turned around and went back to the Orc tribe. As they said, they began to connect with the previous insiders and started to take action.
During this process, the infantry troops led by Bandak, Airen and James had also arrived here.
2790 soldiers, all present at this time.
The quantity is extremely large.
The entire residential area is already packed with people.
But even though there were so many people here, they were all silent. No one said a word. Everyone kept their mouths closed, with only the sound of breathing coming from their noses.
The entire residential area seems to have a particularly solemn and murderous atmosphere.
This is the basic tactical quality of these battle-hardened soldiers on the continent of Calradia.
They understand.
Now they are taking advantage of the enemy's failure to notice them and sneaking into the edge of the enemy's sphere of influence.
Then quietly observe the enemy.
Take this opportunity to rest, recover your strength, and wait for what will surely be a more intense battle.
Shen Mu turned his head and looked at the soldiers who were quietly lurking at the edges of the community's green areas and residential buildings, and a look of admiration appeared on his face.
I hadn't noticed anything in town before.
Now left town.
It was beyond his expectation that they would have such discipline in a field battle.
"Lord Shen Mu."
At this moment, Bandak, Aileyen, James, and the 20 Aidengard believers all walked over quickly.
He bowed respectfully to Shen Mu.
However, compared to the loud voice during the salute in Dehrim.
Now they lowered their voices, trying not to make their voices too loud so as not to disrupt the quiet environment.
"Yes." Shen Mu raised his hand in response, and ordered at the same time: "Everyone rest for 60 minutes. During this time, let the soldiers eat a small amount of food to replenish their physical strength. Be careful not to drink too much water or eat too much food."
"Understood, Master Shen Mu. I will instruct on your arrangements later."
Bandak nodded and said, "This time we brought some pre-chopped black bread and sausages, a whole onion for each person, and a pot of water for three people. We won't eat too much, just enough to fill our stomachs and maintain our strength."
"Very good." This is why Shen Mu looked at Bandak differently.
Experienced officers can often make proper arrangements based on their rich experience without much explanation.
"Fatis." Shen Mu instructed Fatis at this time: "Take out the map and explain the situation to Bandak and Airen, and discuss the next tactical deployment to ensure that we can rush to the orc lord's platform in the shortest time and kill him from the tent under the protection of the pig-headed elite leader."
"I understand." Fatis took out his notebook and began to explain quickly to Bandak and Aileyen.
These are the contents he had just carefully recorded.
Bandak and Aileyen also took out their notebooks and quickly recorded Fatis's notes.
"There are six piers on the left and right, which are the Human Resources Department, Sales Department, Transportation Department, Quality Inspection Department, regular staff dormitory, and temporary worker dormitory."
"Walk to the end, and in the middle is the pier where the chief's tent is."
"Behind them are apartment buildings and residential buildings where ordinary people live that have not yet been demolished. They are all former dormitories of the diesel company. They are only used for ordinary people who go to work and pray. They pose no threat."
"So the most important thing for us is how to break through the six piers and get straight to the Chieftain's pier in the middle."
Fatis spoke in a deep voice at this time, and according to the contents recorded in the notebook, he said to Bandak and Aileyen: "When we attack, we will have our insiders to help us, so we should consider rushing to the chieftain's platform and killing the orc lord."
"Well, we should really think of a solution." Bandak and Aileyen looked at Fatis's fingers on the notebook.
The target is Chief's Tower.
"At this time, we need to rely on infantry as the main force."
Airen stroked his chin and said, "But fortunately, we have elite Swadian soldiers and elite Lake Rat Gang saboteurs. Even if there are heavy casualties, it's fine as long as we can achieve our tactical goals in the end."
This is the Vikians' habitual tactical arrangement.
Born in a land of ice and snow, their tactics are basically one-track-minded.
Just rush in and it's over.
This is also why they like two-handed battle axes and bows so much.
After the rain of arrows, there will be a charge.
Simple and crude.
And it works!
Therefore, at this extremely critical moment when the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road, Bandak and Fatis looked at each other.
Then they saw the affirmation in each other's eyes.
"That's it." The two nodded.
"Hmm?" This surprised Aileyen: "Do you really agree with the tactical arrangement I made?"
"Simple and effective." Bandak nodded: "Indeed, I agree."
"I agree too." Fatis also nodded.
They have already invaded the town.
All tactics are empty.
Siege warfare relies on the pouring of human lives. It depends on who is better organized, disciplined, has more morale, and has more courage.
Just one word.
Reckless!
If you can win by rushing, it means victory.
Besides, it was a surprise attack, so in a short period of time we could form a situation where we had more people against a smaller number and attack by surprise with strong organization.
There were even spies within the diesel company who were deliberately creating unrest.
If you can't win with this.
Then let alone saying that he is a general trained on the battlefields of Calradia.
Just as his generals were still discussing, Shen Mu was sitting on the steps, still looking at the dialog box in front of him.
About temporary tasks.
【Mission released: decisive battle.】
[Task Introduction: When the conflict between you and Diesel Company becomes irreconcilable, whether it is the sphere of influence, the mark of the spiritual world, or the believers composed of humans from Blue Star, they are all key resources that you are competing for.
Especially when you realize that the Diesel Company is actively preparing for war and is using the power of the Spirit World Lord to summon more Spirit World essence from the Star World to accumulate strength for the next attack on him, you know that you can no longer wait, so you plan to take the initiative to attack! 】
[Mission stage requirements ①: Attack the city gate! (Phase/each time you pass a stage, you will receive a reward)]
[Mission Stage Reward ①: Legion-level Nature Care Scroll (3000 people). Effect: Made by a high elf wizard from the Kingdom of Avalon, it contains the caring power from nature and holy light. After use, it will slowly recover from injuries/physical strength/and keep you calm within 30 minutes.]
[As the mission progresses, you will receive different rewards depending on the offensive phase you are defending against. ]
"Attack the city gate." Shen Mu looked at the contents on the dialog box and felt that there was no difficulty.
After all, he had already destroyed the city gate in advance.
The key is after breaking into the city gate.
This is the most important.
"There is a legion-level scroll of natural care that can slowly heal injuries and restore physical strength for a legion of 3000 people, and it can also keep the mind calm."
Shen Mu pursed his lips slightly.
Judging from the effect, it is really good.
"If we combine it with the tactics proposed by Aileyon, we might be able to break through the Diesel Company's defenses."
Shen Mu also felt more confident.
Now a general offensive and a decisive battle were about to be launched, and it was he who took the initiative to initiate the decisive battle against all odds.
Instead, I felt a little more anxious.
the reason is simple.
"I just don't know what Xue Zhigang, the half-orc chieftain of the Diesel Company, summoned from the astral realm."
Shen Mu frowned slightly, his face looking a little solemn.
After all, why did he launch such a sudden decisive battle? The reason was that the gray spots of light he saw from Xinriwadin fell into the Diesel Company.
But looking at the Mounted Swordsmen who were still squatting in the corner, eating silently.
Shen Mu clenched his fists and calmed down: "No matter what it is, I don't believe that the 3000 cavalry soldiers I brought this time, half of whom are elite soldiers above level three, will not be able to handle it!"
(End of this chapter)
