Chapter 199: A New Day of Harmony

[Ding! A new day has arrived! You have gained 32114 points of Faith in the town of [Derhrim]! Since you cannot absorb this Faith, it has been stored in your Sacred Dragon Flag Fragment.]

Shen Mu did not stay outside for too long at night. After checking the maximum influence range of the Holy Light Torch Tower, he led his troops back to Dehrim with confidence.

Of course, as the duty officer tonight, Bestur still had to lead those grassland bandits who were extremely active and responsive to perform the duty.

After all, when the grassland bandits arrived in Dehrim, their super mobility was instantly recognized by Bandak and Fatis.

Previously, patrols in Dehrim were carried out by the Swadian Militia and Swadian Light Infantry.

It is because the Swadian militia and Swadian light infantry have good mobility, so they can respond quickly if anything happens, and the patrol teams they form can also provide direct reinforcements if something really happens.

And even if they encountered real danger, they could shout to alert the people on the city walls, and then the generals on duty stationed on the walls would arrange what kind of soldiers to send out for counterattack.

Although the effect is obvious, it always feels a bit clumsy. After all, the two-legged infantry and even the classic heavy infantry and heavy cavalry in the Kingdom of Swadia react too slowly.

It is not as convenient and quick as the Kugit grassland bandits who can fight directly on horseback and attack the enemy with bows and arrows.

So when they arrived at Dehrim, they were immediately assigned to the quick reaction force. Whenever there was a duty or reconnaissance mission, they would be sent directly to the scene.

Of course, Shen Mu didn't want to continue thinking about these things.

Now Dehrim is on the right track, and the generals he has gained, such as Fatis, Bandak, James and Manid, will share some of the work with him.

Including the newly arrived Bestur and Resarit.

They have all joined in sharing the work.

For example, the arrangements for patrols, reconnaissance and night guard work were basically monopolized by Bestur and Bandak.

Bestur couldn't sleep at all at night. His experience was just like that of the Kugit people. He was quite exciting.

Bandak was worried about others on duty at night, and in his heart he wanted to monitor the energetic Kugit Bestur to prevent him from playing any tricks.

After all, he had experienced the terrifying period when undead monsters roamed rampant outside the city walls at night.

Leaving the night entirely to a selfish evil general to guard the place would be tantamount to handing over one's own life and the lives of all the people in Dehrim to this Bestur, the evil general.

He is not at ease.

Just like during the day, it was Fatis who patrolled and was on duty in the defense of the castle and town walls, while Resarit took the initiative to lead the cavalry to conduct reconnaissance and sentry outside.

Although we are fighting for Lord Shen Mu in this strange world.

However, the generals of the good camp are really worried about the guys in the evil camp.

If there is anything you need to do, you need to do it yourself, only then will you feel relieved.

Of course, Shen Mu doesn’t need to care about these. No matter whether they are generals from the good camp or the evil camp, they are all loyal to him.

He had just woken up from bed and was rubbing his eyes. After regaining his spirit, he looked at the dialog box that appeared in front of him and put on a smile on his face.

"As I expected, the power of faith I gained today has increased a bit. It seems that as long as I manage these Blue Star humans well, I will gain more and more power of faith."

At this time, a voice was heard from inside the room, and the Holy Tree Knight on duty at the door pushed the door open and asked, "Sir, breakfast is ready this morning. Do you want to eat it now?"

"Let's arrange it in the restaurant on the first floor. I'll go down now." Shen Mu nodded and asked the Holy Tree Knight to go and make the arrangements.

But at this time, he also called another Holy Tree Knight and instructed him: "Invite all the generals to my restaurant for dinner this morning and discuss some recent events and the next plan. And if there are no accidents, I hope they will do this every day."

"Understood. I'll go inform the other generals right away." The Holy Tree Knight nodded, and then went to convey Shen Mu's order.

Not long after, Shen Mu changed his clothes, washed up simply, and came to the restaurant.

At this time, his mounted and swordsman generals were already waiting here.

They still looked like they were whispering or chatting with each other, but the good camp was playing with the good camp, and the evil camp was playing with the evil camp.

And it seems that they are friends with each other.

For example, Bandak and Fatis had a great time chatting.

James and Manid also chatted casually, talking about things in life.

As the only two people in the evil camp, Bestur and Resarit sat together, laughing and talking and bragging about some of the things they had encountered.

It can be said that just because it is a restaurant, many small groups have been formed in a subtle way.

Of course, Shen Mu didn't care about this. As long as they could be loyal to him, their so-called group didn't matter to him. After all, their role was to serve him.

This time, I asked them to come over for breakfast so that we could have a meeting together, just like what we learned in the large group in our previous life.

If there is anything that needs to be solved, it can be solved directly in the morning, or if there is anything that needs to be solved in the future, you can take precautions in advance, which will make it much more convenient to proceed with the work.

The key is that Shen Mulai makes the decision personally.

"My Lord, you are here." "Good morning, Lord Shen Mu."

When Shen Mu arrived at the restaurant, these cavalry generals stood up one after another, bowed and saluted Shen Mu respectfully with their hands on their chests.

"Well, you too." Shen Mu nodded and asked the generals to sit back at the dining table.

Then he clapped his hands in the kitchen next to him, and the halflings who had already prepared the food brought up the delicious food. In addition, the Swadian light infantry who served as servants nearby also helped to carry up the heavier pots and pans.

Some pretty delicious food.

Whether it was vegetables or meat, these cavalry generals were quite satisfied with the food.

They also spoke highly of the halflings' cooking skills.

After all, in the previous chaotic continent of Calradia, they had no way to eat such delicious food, and most of what they ate was just dry food that was more than the porridge or gruel that ordinary people ate.

At most, just eat some meat.

Things like soft white bread, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and spread with butter, are almost works of art, something that only the royal court can eat. They rarely enjoy them on normal days. After all, they are nobles or civilians responsible for fighting, or even ordinary people. It is impossible for them to eat these on the battlefield.

Now that they can enjoy such delicious food in Shen Mu’s aristocratic mansion, they are of course very happy.

So while eating, the atmosphere at the table was quite harmonious. They answered Shen Mu's questions one by one, even some issues raised by the good camp.

Bestur and Resarit, who are from the evil camp, also gave suggestions.

Bestur and Resarit, who were patrolling outside, also gave some suggestions on the collection of humans from Blue Star. Bandak, James, Fati and Manid also gave some pertinent ideas of their own.

This is quite unusual compared with the previous numbers, which also shows that they can have some limited cooperation with each other. At least they will not cooperate on big issues, and they can also cooperate on more critical small matters and will definitely not hinder each other.

In Shen Mu's opinion, everything is thriving and moving in a good direction. It is a very good situation.

During the conversation, he basically talked about all the problems that Dehrim had encountered recently, and then gave solutions.

At least there is strength in numbers, and the conclusions they reach after directly discussing with each other are also the solution.

"But speaking of it, this is really interesting, similar to a round table meeting." Shen Mu smiled in his heart, and nodded with satisfaction when he saw the generals who were still answering questions seriously for their work: "In this way, even if I go outside to leave these generals in Dehrim, I can safely hand over the town to them and let them handle it."

Sometimes the dangers faced by towns are not only external crises, but also internal government affairs are also very important issues.

Everyone works together to make Dehrim better, which is certainly what Shen Mu wants to see.

"But if we wait for a while, we should also include those humans from Blue Star in this round table meeting. After all, those humans have now begun to manage the urban areas, at least in name, they have begun to manage the humans from Blue Star within those urban areas."

Shen Mu also thought of Zhang Caidong and others at this time.

In name, I have given them a lot of power to manage the humans on Blue Star, and even in name, I have allowed them to manage the urban areas.

This is equivalent to making them senior executives, and they are no less senior executives than those Mounted Blade Generals. After all, even Mounted Blade Generals cannot command or manage so many Blue Star humans numbering 3.

In a sense, the senior management team composed of these Blue Star humans is equivalent to Shen Mu's other hand. After all, if you want to gain the power of faith, you have to rely on these executives to assist in management.

The Mount and Blade soldiers can only be responsible for the simplest combat and cannot be managed at all. In fact, it is even necessary for the humans on Blue Star to manage these emotional soldiers.

The only advantage of Mounted Blade Soldiers is their absolute loyalty, so no matter what, they are quite trustworthy. However, because their thinking is too rigid and they don't have the flexible thinking of Blue Star humans, Blue Star humans are also needed to command these Mounted Blade Soldiers when commanding battles or in daily life.

Moreover, as long as the Blue Star humans command these Mounted Blade Soldiers, Shen Mu can also indirectly monitor these Blue Star humans through these Mounted Blade Soldiers.

If something really happens, it can be stopped in time by the mounted and bladed soldiers. This is also one of his little ideas.

It is also a trump card.

After all, those Blue Star humans had no idea that these Mounted Blade Soldiers actually obeyed Shen Mu completely. The reason why these Mounted Blade Soldiers followed those Blue Star humans was entirely because of the canonization given to them by Shen Mu.

In fact, the humans on Blue Star thought that this enthronement was a transformation of the spiritual commander. They never imagined that the spiritual commander had absolute control over the followers of the spiritual creatures. Now their absolute command power over the Mounted and Bladed soldiers was just an order from a superior to a subordinate in the army.

It is simply impossible for the spiritual commander to control them at the soul level.

So as long as any situation occurs, Shen Mu can immediately use one order to make those mounted and sword soldiers break away from the control of the centurions and return to his side, making those centurions who seemed to think they had become the commanders of the spiritual world and were high and mighty become lonely and unable to do anything.

Sometimes you still need to think about a lot of things.

After finishing his meal with these generals, Shen Mu wiped his mouth and went to the conference room on the first floor.

Now it is time to meet with the humans from Blue Star, and today he needs to transform the remaining seven male humans into centurions, and hand over some Swadia civilian units to them so that they can help with the upgrade.

"Now please ask all the humans from Blue Star to come over." Shen Mu also waved to the Swadian light infantry at the door at this time, asking him to notify the executives to come back again.

The Swadian light infantryman bowed respectfully and then turned to walk out the door. Not long after, the Blue Star humans gathered at the door of the noble mansion.

Led by Zhang Caidong, the other nine had already been conferred the title of centurions in advance, and each of them brought with them 9 Swadian civilian executives, and the remaining 10 plus three new Blue Star humans into Shen Mu's aristocratic mansion.

However, Zhang Bo was not among the three new people this time. Instead, he was replaced by Sun Zhiru's long-time and trusted partner. (End of this chapter)
