Chapter 140: The Mentality of the Humans on Blue Star
So out of curiosity and timidity, they didn't dare to go down and ask the ordinary people on Blue Star who were carrying things.
Curiosity is growing.
Gradually, I couldn't help but want to know the destination of these Blue Star humans transporting such a large amount of supplies, to see what happened.
However, when these people arrived at Dehrim where Shen Mu was, they looked at the lush wheat seedlings inside the outermost low wall.
Look at the tall town walls made entirely of stone blocks.
Looking at the huge castle sitting on a rock that rises abruptly from the ground.
Everyone's eyes widened with disbelief.
"When did such a magnificent...human castle appear here?"
This is the amazement in everyone's heart.
And in the eyes that flashed with disbelief, there was even more surprise and recognition.
From the recognition of the human race.
After all, this is the territory of the human race. Compared with those alien races in the spiritual world, it can be psychologically accepted in the shortest time.
Even if these are humans from another world.
He doesn't have the wheat-colored skin, black hair and black eyes that you would expect from a human from Blue Star.
They all have pale skin like tofu, a lot of hair, angular faces that are not round, look rather mean, and various colored pupils and hair.
A human race from another world that can be clearly distinguished from humans on Blue Star.
but.
We still know that these human beings from another world are just humans.
Whether it is human or human.
They are all people!
Compared to those with pig heads, those covered with hairy animal skins, and those alien races that are simply beasts standing upright.
Psychologically, there is a huge difference, and visually it is difficult to accept.
What's more, those alien races really eat people.
It also deepened the vigilance of ordinary humans on Blue Star against these sub-human races in the spiritual world.
Deep down in my heart, there is already a distinction between you being you and me being me, like two completely different creatures.
In other words, those sub-humans have been defined as—
not human!
Unless those Blue Star humans have already achieved resonance at the soul level and have begun to transform themselves into the sub-human race.
Other ordinary people don't have the slightest idea or feeling of being able to accept it.
Especially when looking at those humans who are transforming into sub-humans, they have already realized that these former humans from Blue Star no longer choose to be human.
He even felt a growing hatred for these sub-humans from the bottom of his heart.
That is why they are so happy, so delighted, and so accepting when they see the castle that belongs to the human race.
At least the master of this spiritual territory is a human!
The spiritual world of humans ruled by the humans of Blue Star.
There is a natural sense of closeness.
And it is among these people.
There are also three or four ordinary humans from Blue Star observing this place.
Still whispering.
"At that time, I suggested that we join this new human leader in advance and give him the thing by taking advantage of the friendly attitude we met at that time. Now you see, it's good. He has developed so fast and has gathered so many humans. If we go to him again, he won't take us seriously anymore."
One person is still complaining.
But the other person said calmly: "What we have is definitely a very precious item in the spiritual world. As long as we go there and offer this item, we will definitely not worry about our future life."
He paused before continuing, "So relax a bit. We still need to continue to observe the character of this human lord. Don't let us end up living in fear instead of enjoying the happiness in the end. That would be bad."
"Okay then, we'll all listen to you." The two companions behind him looked at each other and nodded helplessly.
After all, the leader was right.
Rare goods are valuable, so of course they want to sell their rare goods at a good price.
At least their lives will never be the same as before.
But they didn't make it public.
After observing this place, they patted each other on the shoulders and left the edge of the low stone wall.
There were many people like them who were whispering. After all, not everyone was willing to join the territory of the sub-humans.
Not everyone is willing to shed their human identity, resonate with the sub-humans and become spiritual commanders, and then slowly transform their personality, body shape and appearance into those of the sub-humans.
Although they are a small number of stubborn elements.
But if they were gathered together, there would be quite a few of them.
What's more, there are many more ordinary people in the spiritual world who are powerless and can only be ordinary people because they cannot obtain the mark of the spiritual world.
Because of the oppression of the diesel company, they were forced to live in their own safe houses, barely surviving.
Now I have met a new human lord, and I came here to take a look out of curiosity.
But I also felt more moved.
If they really think that the treatment of this new human lord is good, then they are willing to come and join this new human territory to work and earn daily spiritual food with their prayers.
But after those Blue Star humans who were still peeking out from outside the wall and furtively observing the direction of the castle left.
Right on top of Rhodok Castle.
At this time, about 20 Rhodok sniper crossbowmen put down their sniper crossbows.
The cold light flashing in his eyes had now turned into an indifferent look again as they faded away.
These 20 or so Rhodok sniper crossbowmen, top-level long-range crossbowmen of level 5, stood on the tip of the 3rd floor of the Rhodok Castle, on those wooden shelves, looking down at the situation outside.
As long as anyone dares to offend us, they will pull the trigger without hesitation and shoot out the heavy steel crossbow arrow stuck in the shooting slot of the extra-large sniper crossbow in their hand, which is two times larger than the heavy crossbow.
A heavy steel crossbow arrow that is longer and heavier than ordinary steel crossbow arrows.
Even at a distance of four or five hundred meters, he could still shoot straight down from a high position.
This is the power of the sniper crossbow.
This is also the most advanced ability of the Rhodok sniper crossbowmen in the Rhodok Kingdom.
As long as they are given some commanding heights, they can use the sniper crossbows and heavy steel crossbow arrows in their hands to snipe and kill the enemies one by one, leaving no one alive.
"My Lord, they have already retreated. It looks like there is no danger."
At this time, the leading Rhodok sniper crossbow captain spoke slowly, looking at the Blue Star humans who left at the edge of the wall with satisfaction, and was quite appreciative of their tact.
And right next to this Rhodok sniper crossbowman captain, Shen Mu was also standing on this wooden rack.
"Yeah, I saw it." Shen Mu nodded.
The main reason was that the figures appearing over the wall were too sneaky, otherwise he would not have ordered these Rhodok sniper crossbowmen to focus on these sneaky guys.
It looks like a thief.
Shen Mu, who had just obtained a large amount of supplies and entered Dehrim and was still waiting to store them in granaries and warehouses, subconsciously became alert.
He didn't want any accidents to happen in his granaries and warehouses.
It's always good to be more vigilant.
"But now there are really a lot of ordinary people from Blue Star who have been transferred here." Shen Mu also looked at those ordinary people from Blue Star who originally lived around the Diesel Company.
They are ordinary people who work in diesel companies and do odd jobs in exchange for food.
Shen Mu turned his head to look.
At this time, the town of Dehrim has been occupied by large numbers of Blue Star humans.
At this time, the humans on Blue Star were looking at these almost identical town houses with shocked eyes.
His face was full of surprise.
What they had previously come into contact with was the extremely rough architectural style of the Diesel Company's Orc tribe.
The temporary accommodation provided to them was just a simple tent casually built on the flat ground.
Basically, it just provides a venue and a safe place that is not attacked by undead rules and undead monsters.
After all, within the influence of the Orc tribe, what appears are safe areas that can resist the rules of the undead, which are created by integrating the rules of the spiritual world with the rules of the blue star.
of course.
This kind of safe area is extremely precious in this blue star world that has been eroded by the rules of the undead.
Not everyone is qualified to enter this safe area.
According to the Diesel Company's screening, if you fail to provide enough devout and pure spiritual energy for a long time, you will be expelled.
At that time, you will need to face the terrifying undead monster by yourself.
And there is not enough spiritual food to nourish the body.
There is no firewood from the spiritual world burning to warm the soul, make the mind more comfortable, and more effectively resist the erosion of the undead rules.
It can be said that the greatest shelter has been lost.
But even so, these orc tribes have become accustomed to the rough style of architecture of the Diesel Company.
Look at the neat and uniform town houses in front of you, which can be called houses.
It's like the difference between heaven and earth.
Just standing next to these houses, looking at the wooden furniture and the wooden beds in the windows, which were simple but had visible outlines, everyone showed envious expressions.
Being able to live in a house is definitely much more comfortable than living in a tent.
Besides, even a house like this can be renovated.
After all, there are a lot of mattresses and various beddings, including quilts, in the buildings outside. After bringing them over, you can transform these seemingly hard wooden beds into quite comfortable single beds.
Therefore, ordinary people among the humans on Blue Star are now looking at these town houses with eager eyes.
They all want to live in it.
Whether they can move in does not depend on how much work they have done now, but on Shen Mu's arrangements.
"Pass the order and tell Zhang Caidong to let all the ordinary humans from Blue Star leave Dehrim."
Shen Mu stood on a wooden frame with his arms folded across his chest, looking at the ordinary humans in the town area that had already filled the streets. He calmly instructed: "Let them find simple accommodation in nearby residential buildings or apartment buildings. At 6:30 tomorrow morning, the town gate will be opened to welcome them in to pray."
"Understood." Just under the wooden rack, several Swadian light infantry were waiting.
After hearing Shen Mu's instructions, they immediately turned around and left to convey the order.
But Shen Mu said again: "At the same time, tell those ordinary humans that my territory will provide three meals a day tomorrow, as a reward for their work today."
"Understood." The Swadian light infantry nodded, then left the top of the third floor and went to convey the order.
Shen Mu was on the rooftop watching those ordinary humans leave Dehrim obediently.
Each one seemed reluctant to leave.
Then he left the town's sphere of influence through the west gate, along the road in the middle of the wheat field, and through the gap in the wall.
He walked quickly towards the residential buildings and apartment buildings not far away.
Go choose your own temporary safe house.
For these 2 ordinary humans, that seems like a lot.
However, the residential communities that Blue Star had built before could easily accommodate thousands of people.
These 2 people are just a matter of two or three communities.
Soon these ordinary humans found their temporary homes based on their previous rich experience.
Anyway, they are all unowned rooms, so you can just pick one.
If you are lucky, you might be able to find supplies left behind by the humans from Blue Star, and then you can have a good meal.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if I don’t have breakfast.
These ordinary humans all had some leftover food in their backpacks.
Everyone has become accustomed to the current era and has become accustomed to leaving some food behind to carry with them. Moreover, this has changed the power they have joined, and they cannot temporarily return to the safe hut they had built near the diesel company.
Of course I will carry some food and water with me.
There are also some flammable materials that can be ignited quickly to prevent the situation where there are no flammable materials around after dark, causing darkness to fall and putting one's life in danger.
Ordinary humans who have survived to this day can be called ordinary people, but they are just ordinary humans who have no spiritual creatures following them and have not inherited the marks of the spiritual world.
Each of them can be considered an elite.
"It's getting dark." Shen Mu glanced at the sun that was gradually setting.
The dim sunlight fell on his town, Dehrim, making the whole town look golden, as if it was covered with a layer of golden gauze.
It looks more glorious and noble.
"I have to say, I like this feeling." Shen Mu nodded with satisfaction.
At the same time, he also looked with a little regret at the Holy Light Torch Tower of the Holy White Council in the southeast corner of the castle area, which had not yet been ignited.
"If this torch tower can be lit, perhaps according to the Mount & Blade rules contained in it, it can completely illuminate the surrounding area of several kilometers?"
Shen Mu thought of the effect of the Holy Light Torch Tower of the Holy White Council.
Not only can it increase the brightness, it can also completely remove darkness and fog.
It can also restore people's spirit and physical strength to a certain extent, and the most important thing is that in the area illuminated by the holy light, it will not be eroded by the rules of the undead.
"But if we want to wait for the caravan heading to the White Tower to return, it will take nearly three weeks."
This is why Shen Mu felt regretful.
Shake his head.
He didn't think too much about it.
Looking at the Blue Star humans and their spiritual followers who are still left in the town area.
About two to three thousand people.
"Then the next step is to make these guys who used to be temporary workers believe in me."
Shen Mu touched his chin and thought about it.
After all, he did not recruit these temporary workers to let them live in his Dehrim, these newly built town houses, for free.
He has his own plans.
"Pass on my orders and start cooking dinner."
Shen Mu raised his hand and said slowly: "Everyone in the town, whether they are Mount and Blade civilians or those newly joined Blue Star humans, will be allocated a portion of thick oatmeal and vegetable soup and a large piece of bread for dinner."
"Understood." Another Swadian light infantryman who was responsible for delivering the message answered and turned around to convey the order.
"In the castle area, each person will have a thick oatmeal antelope meat and vegetable soup, a large piece of bread, a portion of dried meat, and a portion of sausage." Shen Mu spoke again: "That's it."
"Understood." Another Swadian light infantryman in charge of delivering the message nodded and went to convey the order again.
It is only natural that soldiers in the castle area eat better than civilians in the town area.
Besides, Shen Mu also has his own considerations regarding the food distribution.
As the smoke began to rise.
The aroma of oatmeal suddenly appeared in the castle area and the town area.
At least when it comes to cooking wheat porridge, there is no difference whether it is in the castle area or in the town area. The only difference is that the castle area has an added meaty aroma.
The scent attracted the spiritual creatures outside with sharp noses to take a few breaths.
Looking at the towering walls and towers of the castle area built on the rock base, envy and awe appeared in his eyes.
It is easy to guess that the human soldiers in the castle eat better than themselves.
But these Blue Star humans didn't say much.
It's pretty good to have oatmeal to eat.
And there was bread.
Although the taste is definitely not very good.
However, this is real spiritual food, without any blue star food mixed in.
Compared to when they were in the Diesel Company before, when food was distributed, most of them only had one-third of spiritual world food, and the remaining two-thirds were completely Blue Star food.
Sometimes, the regular employees would deliberately withhold some of their spiritual food.
As temporary workers, they can only be angry but not speak out.
After all, the right to speak is in their hands.
It's nothing like it is now. They can all enjoy such complete spiritual food, which makes them all very excited.
Along with the hot oatmeal porridge, mixed with cabbage and chopped onions, the dark brown bread was broken into pieces and thrown in to soften.
Then he took the spoon and ate it in big mouthfuls.
Everyone is quite satisfied.
Especially eating these foods with complete rules makes them feel happy in their minds and spirits.
Or rather, their unborn souls were also nourished.
Not only them, even those spiritual followers under his command, whether they were gnolls, goblins, hobgoblins and other spiritual creatures, all enjoyed eating these foods with complete rules.
At the end of the meal, they carefully licked the utensils they brought with them. For the people of Blue Star, this is a nourishment for the soul.
But for these spiritual creatures, food with rules is real food that is complete and authentic and can provide them with nutrition.
In the past, eating ordinary blue foods would at most make them feel full, but it would not provide them with much nutrition.
This is equivalent to the humans on Blue Planet eating Guanyin soil that has the texture of food.
Now that they have encountered such pure spiritual food, these spiritual creatures will definitely eat it with relish.
However, at this time, they also had a good impression of this new human territory that accepted them.
And this is what Shen Mu wants.
'Om! '
Especially when these humans on the blue star began to eat food in big mouthfuls, the sky outside instantly changed from the grayness of the setting sun to complete darkness.
When night comes.
Those Blue Star humans who realized that it was getting dark and that the time had come for the undead rules to flood the world all subconsciously raised their heads at this moment.
Darkness appeared above the sky, and bonfires and human patrols holding torches quickly appeared on the surrounding city walls.
They all had strange expressions.
And suddenly, a warm feeling arose in my heart.
'Om! '
Then this warm emotion suddenly turned into invisible waves and began to gather in the area covered by the Mount and Blade rules.
It was then successfully captured by the Mount and Blade system and condensed using the upper handle of the dragon flag fragment.
Then it turned into a dialog box that appeared on Shen Mu's retina.
[Ding! Congratulations! Your generosity has won the gratitude of a group of Blue Star humans! And your majestic figure has emerged in their hearts, and they highly recognize you! ]
[Ding! This thought wave of recognition turns into special spiritual energy, and is then transformed into the power of faith by your "Dragon Flag Fragment (Upper Handle)". ]
[Ding! You have obtained 'Power of Faith' x 1244 points. ]
At this time, the content of the dialog box on Shen Mu's retina was refreshed.
And vaguely, Shen Mu also sensed through the power of the Mount and Blade system the mental fluctuations that were spreading above the heads of the Blue Star humans. They were attracted by a special force in the noble mansion and were all absorbed.
Combined with the content in the dialog box, Shen Mu also understood that this was the handle on his dragon flag fragment. It absorbed these spiritual energies and transformed them into the power of faith.
"That's it." Shen Mu showed a faint smile: "My first wave of faith power!"
Moreover, as he looked at these 1244 points of faith power, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
After statistics, Shen Mu found that 1244 temporary workers had joined Dehrim.
"It seems that every human being on Blue Star can generate 1 point of faith power?" Shen Mu nodded slightly.
Considering that the cute little druid Miss Yuna also generated 1 point of faith power, the program also got a basic concept.
That is, the most basic output of faith power for every human being on Blue Star is 1 point.
"I just don't know how long it takes to produce this one point of faith power."
Shen Mu looked at the Blue Star humans who had just finished their food and were quite satisfied, and a smile appeared on his face: "But fortunately, these Blue Star humans have come to my territory, which means I have experimental subjects and can observe them slowly."
And in Shen Mu's opinion, Dehrim is now basically on the right track.
And began to stride towards a period of rapid development.
"Alas." Shen Mu couldn't help but sigh at this time: "Now the only thing that can restrain my rapid progress may really be the dinar."
It’s still a matter of money.
The key is that Shen Mu really doesn’t have any better solution now.
It's easy to make money.
As long as you complete the temporary tasks issued by the Mount and Blade system, there is a high chance of obtaining dinar.
But here's the problem.
Judging from the current size of Shen Mu’s troops, it is relatively easy to complete the temporary tasks issued by the Mount and Blade system.
However, Shen Mu was unable to control the Mount and Blade system in real time and issue temporary tasks.
After all, although he is the one who created the Mount and Blade system, he also bound his own consciousness to it, thus constituting the key to the Mount and Blade system.
But this does not mean that Shen Mu can control the Mount and Blade system.
It has always been the Mount and Blade system that actively cooperates with Shen Mu to assist him.
The relationship between the two parties is basically a cooperative one.
If Shen Mu did not force the order, he would be able to control the Mount and Blade system and assign himself a temporary task that would reward him with dinars.
"It's so sad." Shen Mu also sighed at this time.
Go back to the main building of the castle from the top floor.
It's on the platform behind the lord's bench on the second floor.
At this time a wooden table was placed here.
This is what Shen Mu requested.
The table is not big, it is a long table that can accommodate 10 people sitting on both sides to discuss or dine.
At the critical moment, Shen Mu discovered that this long table could also be used as a shield, blocking the stairs behind the lord's bench, making it impossible for the enemy to enter the key passage leading to the corridors on both sides of the lord's hall, this platform and the second floor through the inclined ladder.
That's why Shen Mu asked to put a long table here so that it could serve as a barrier at any critical moment.
Now it can also be used as a table.
There is no problem in providing dining space either.
At this time, Shen Mu was sitting at the upper seat, and on the right side of the long table, three military generals, Fatis, Aileyen, and Bandak, were sitting on chairs in order.
On the left are two auxiliary generals, Manid and James.
By this time dinner had begun.
Just as Shen Mu requested, minced antelope meat and vegetables were added to the sticky oatmeal porridge, adding a lot of flavor.
Compared with the black bread eaten by the mounted and sword soldiers outside and the civilian units in the town, the ones here eat freshly baked white bread.
Because sugar and yeast are added, it is soft and delicious. The taste is completely different from that of black bread.
"Lord Shen Mu, we have nearly 1300 Blue Star humans coming here this time."
As the acting mayor, Manide had already obtained the statistical figures, so he reported while eating: "There are still nearly 2000 spiritual creatures, a total of about 3500 people, a large number, and they are now being organized and managed by the temporary fleet of the former diesel company headed by Zhang Caidong."
Manide paused and added, "Of course, these 3500 people have been strictly guarded. Our soldiers are stationed on the city walls, stairs, and towers. They are not allowed to approach casually."
"Well, stay vigilant, that's good." Shen Mu nodded in agreement with Manide's handling opinion.
After all, these are Blue Star humans who have just joined their town.
Of course you have to be careful.
Therefore, Shen Mu has decided to let his Mount and Blade civilian units live together with these Blue Star humans who have joined the town area.
But it does not mean that simple places such as city walls in urban areas will be returned to these humans from Blue Star.
Defenses can not do without.
Now the statistics show that there are nearly 1300 humans on Blue Star, but only 1244 of them provide faith points to Shen Mu.
This is quite interesting.
This means that nearly 50 of them actually do not have a very positive view of Shen Mu.
Of course, Shen Mu had no idea who it was.
After all, there are too many of these people.
And he didn't open his heart to Shen Mu.
Only when everyone is fully satisfied in their hearts, the spiritual fluctuations will diffuse in the air, so the Mount and Blade system can use the power of the handle on the dragon flag fragment to gather them together to form the power of faith.
These 1244 points of faith power were formed entirely by absorbing the power of the group.
But there is no way of knowing who those 1244 people are.
So it's good to stay vigilant.
"How was the housing problem solved?" Shen Mu also asked Manide at this time.
After all, there are only 100 town houses in Dehrim now.
Assuming that each building can accommodate 30 people.
That can only meet the housing requirements of 3000 people.
You have to know that there are 3500 Blue Star humans and their followers alone.
And don't forget that there are 1500 civilians born in the Kingdom of Vikria and the Kingdom of Swadia.
There are 5000 people in total, and no matter how we distribute them, we cannot meet everyone's accommodation needs.
"That's easy. 1500 Mounted Blade civilians and 1300 Blue Star humans are all living in the houses."
Manide said in a relaxed tone, "We have just 100 town houses that can accommodate them all."
Manide shrugged and said, "As for those spirit world creatures, I saw that they were tough and thick-skinned, so I let them simply make a bed on the street and set up a simple tent for them to sleep in."
This is his arrangement.
"Well, that's not bad." Shen Mu nodded.
As for the creatures in the spiritual world, there is really no need to care too much about them.
Anyway, most of the creatures that came from the desert of the spiritual world are accustomed to the harsh living environment. It is already very good if they can sleep on the ground and have tents made of sheets.
Anyway, with the protection of the city walls and the rules of Mount and Blade, there is no need to worry about encountering undead monsters at any time.
I was so worried that I couldn't even sleep well.
It is really nice for them to have a good meal and a good sleep here, and they can relax at any time.
Shen Mu and his five generals finished their dinner.
So he went out to inspect the town of Dehrim, which was now packed with people.
Of course, I watched it from the city wall.
At this time, apart from a few torches held up by patrol teams, there were only a few bonfires flickering at the intersection in Dehrim.
With the help of these faint lights, Shen Mu could also see the spiritual creatures sleeping on the streets.
And those Blue Star humans who have been assigned large bunk beds in town houses and are sleeping together.
Still nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, a large number of buildings and full of residents appeared, which was different from the previous empty and desolate appearance.
Now this is what a real town looks like.
"Alas, what a pity." This time, Shen Mu came to the top of the Holy Light Torch Tower of the Holy White Council, the location of the torch, and looked at the still empty trade area.
His expression was full of regret. "Even if the caravan heading to the Demon World is slow, it's fine if the caravan heading to Calradia for smuggling trade comes back quickly."
After all, the smuggling trade caravans were only heading to the magic-free continent of Calradia.
There will be no danger.
It's not necessary to not come back for such a long time.
"It's mainly about dinars." Shen Mu sighed at this time. He was still looking forward to Nalot, the bankrupt businessman who was engaged in smuggling trade from the continent of Calradia, to bring him some good news.
The key is to bring back some profit distribution regarding the dinar to relieve some of the pressure on the dinar.
Shen Mu now has more than 1600 dinars left, but he dares not spend money recklessly.
Because the construction of Dehrim has come to an end, he needs to invest the remaining funds in New Rivardin.
"By the way, the construction of Dehrim is almost complete. There is not much use for 1000 Swadian civilians and 500 Vikian civilians here."
Shen Mu reached out and touched his chin at this time: "Especially if these 500 Vikia civilians are transferred to Xinriwadin, then we can have 500 civilians, which seems to meet the requirements for upgrading."
If I remember correctly, the requirement to upgrade from a village to a small castle is 500 people.
If I take these Vikia civilians with me, this condition will be met.
"And after upgrading to a castle, more castle buildings can be opened. In this way, I can use the power of faith to speed up the construction of the castle buildings."
Shen Mu pondered for a moment and made a decision: "Besides, my grassland bandit base also needs to be placed in Xinriwading. If this is the case, I will take people there to take a look tomorrow morning."
Shen Mu made work arrangements for tomorrow.
After all, if I transfer 500 Wikia civilian units over there, there will be a space buffer of 500 people here.
It can make the cramped spaces in town houses a little more spacious.
It can also allow these civilians and humans on Blue Star to sleep better.
It's like killing two birds with one stone.
"And now I already have Rhodok sniper crossbowmen, so the 300 Vikia archers can follow me to garrison in New Rivardin."
Shen Mu continued to think.
With the demise of the Diesel Company, the biggest threat Shen Mu had originally faced had been eliminated, so there was no need to leave too many soldiers here.
It would be better to mobilize some of them and send them to Xinriwadin, which would also increase some defensive effects there.
There would be no need to run to Sujia Village for refuge at night.
"And take all the 100 hired crossbowmen with you." Shen Mu frowned and thought, "Maybe we don't need to take the others with us."
300 Vikria archers, plus 100 hired crossbowmen, a total of 400 long-range shooters are enough to defend a small village.
Besides, the village walls haven’t been built yet.
These 400 long-range archers are fourth-level Vikia archers and third-level excellent mercenary crossbowmen.
There's absolutely no problem dealing with ordinary troubles.
And the only trouble there, those parasitic demons, had already been dealt with in advance by Shen Mu and his knights.
So, for the time being, I don’t see any dangerous places in Xinxin Riwading.
Therefore, this 400-man long-range shooter force is enough to be stationed in that village.
Shen Mu made a decision.
Then on day 2.
In the dark and damp lord's bedroom in Rhodok Castle, Shen Mu slowly opened his eyes and woke up.
Because I hadn't slept in the castle for a long time, I felt a little sore in my back after taking a nap.
"Sure enough, we have spent too many comfortable days in the noble mansion. Now it seems a bit like reminiscing about the good old days here." Shen Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Get dressed quickly.
Put on armor again.
After making sure he was fully armed, Shen Mu went directly to the platform on the first floor.
At this time, the 12 half-orc chefs had also moved from the noble mansion to the Rhodok Castle.
Under the command of Elder Pero, plates of delicious food were delivered to the long table on the platform.
Fatis and Aileyen had already arrived at the long table and were feasting on their meal.
Fatis had just finished his night shift and came back to eat something before going to his room on the third floor to rest.
Airen had just gotten up and put on his armor, ready to follow Shen Mu to Xinriwading and serve as the general manager of Xinriwading.
These were all arrangements made by Shen Mu in advance.
"Good morning, Master Shen Mu."
At this time, both of them had almost finished eating. When they saw Shen Mu coming towards the stairs, they quickly wiped their mouths with a handkerchief, stood up, bowed respectfully, touched their chests, and saluted Shen Mu.
"Well, continue eating." Shen Mu then stretched out his hand to signal the two to sit down again, and then sat in his own seat.
The half-orc chef next to him immediately brought Shen Mu's breakfast.
A serving of fried antelope meat with three eggs, fried onions, carrots and shredded cabbage.
Served with a colorful milk vegetable soup.
Add two pieces of toasted white bread that is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and that will be Shen Mu’s breakfast.
There is food and drink, which is pretty good.
Of course, Shen Mu didn't pay too much attention to this, because he just finished the breakfast in a few bites and drank the milk and vegetable soup in one gulp.
Yes, Aileyen, who was waiting nearby, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go next."
"clear."
Airen also nodded at this time and reported: "300 Vikia archers and 100 mercenary crossbowmen are ready, and the 10 Holy Tree Knights and 100 Holy Tree Cavalry who are following this time are already in the open space in the courtyard outside the door, ready to set off at any time."
"Yeah." Shen Mu nodded, then took Ailen out of the castle hall.
Just outside the door.
The long-range shooters and knights who had been prepared were indeed waiting there.
Shen Mu didn't say much.
He rode on the warhorse that Airen brought personally, waved his hand, and led them out of the Rhodok Castle.
