At the top of Rhodok Castle next to the town of Dehrim, Shen Mu was standing on the wooden frame of the main building at the highest point, looking at the bustling crowd below.
Dhrim is really different now than it was before.
In the distance, white data streams were flickering and new town houses were being built.
In just two or three days.
The originally empty area in the south of Dehrim has been filled with more houses.
These are the town houses that were built according to the plan by Manides, the temporary governor of the town, during the past two or three days.
Moreover, according to the plan and design, if all the empty areas of Dehrim are built into houses, it will be able to accommodate 1 people.
So it will definitely be quite crowded, and various sanitary problems will occur frequently.
But it doesn't matter.
For him, the town area itself was an experimental site that he gave to these Blue Star humans to manage themselves.
As long as the safety of the castle area is ensured, then it will be in a safe position.
Nothing will happen.
"Lord Shen Mu." Just as Shen Mu was in deep thought, Manide also climbed up from the stairwell next to him.
"Yeah." Shen Mu nodded in response.
After Manide climbed onto the wooden frame with him, he slowly said, "You did a good job. These newly planned town buildings do make the south look more orderly."
Previously, there were some messy warehouses and vacant lots in the south. After it was planned as a new residential area, Manide made a detailed overall plan again.
Although it was only two or three days, Shen Mu had already seen the change.
After all, the reason why those houses were built so quickly was also related to the fact that he used the power of faith to drive the construction workers in front of him to build buildings quickly at an extremely fast speed.
Otherwise, it would take a long time to build an ordinary wooden house that only takes more than half a month to be completed.
After all, there are thirty or forty houses being built in the entire Dehrim.
"Thank you for the compliment. This is what I should do." Manide bowed modestly and saluted Shen Mu respectfully with his hands on his chest. In his opinion, this was indeed what he should do.
"Our Dehrim is already too crowded. If we want to accommodate the remaining 2 Blue Star humans, we need to expand it." Shen Mu still spoke out his concerns: "Then tell me, if we rebuild a new city, where do you think it would be better to develop it?"
"All kinds of people are welcome, but in my opinion, it would be better to add urban areas on the east and west sides."
Manide immediately replied: "There are reserve areas and light craft areas on both sides. If we add new urban areas outside the city gates on both sides, we can divert all the humans inside. In this way, we can also ensure the safety of the castle area and the town area. If anything happens, we only need to close the city gates to completely isolate the new town areas on both sides from the old town area and the castle area."
"It's a good idea to add new urban areas on the east and west sides." Shen Mu also looked at the two city gates in the east and west that Manide mentioned.
His eyes were thoughtful.
What Manide said does make sense.
As long as new urban areas are added outside the east and west gates, a new connected area can be quickly formed. Of course, only new city gates need to be added outside the new urban areas, which will solve the problem of traffic and more accommodation problems for humans on Blue Star.
"Let's wait a moment. Dehrim is short of funds right now, and the power of faith is not enough. It will take a long time to build a new urban area." Shen Mu had some regret on his face at this time. After all, his dinars now depended entirely on those two caravans, and the power of faith was mainly spent on those two caravans. He really had to wait a while before he could build the town.
Manid understood this point, and this also fell into the category of grand strategy, and he had no way of intervening.
"Okay, I've finished looking at it. That's all. Manid, you just continue to focus on building the town." Shen Mu looked at Dehrim who had started to build new buildings again and nodded with satisfaction. He gave Manid a few more instructions and turned to leave.
And on the first floor of the castle hall, four generals were already waiting there.
They are Fatis and James respectively.
and Resarit and Bestur.
"Lord Shen Mu." When they saw Shen Mu coming, they stood up and bowed to greet him.
"Well, you too." Shen Mu nodded and motioned for the four generals to sit down.
Then he watched them all sit down on the chairs and directly told them the reason for gathering the four of them this time: "Resarit and Fatis, both of you are from the Kingdom of Swadia. You must do a good job in the defense and patrol of the town of Dehrim."
"Understood." "Understood."
Resarit and Fatis stood up again, pounded their chests with their hands, bowed and saluted, then sat down again.
This shows their seriousness.
Although Resarit and Fatis were both born in the Kingdom of Swadia, due to their different personalities, they actually had little contact with each other. During their travels across the continent, the two sides even had many conflicts. After all, they were from the same faction of the Kingdom of Swadia, but because of their different philosophies, conflicts easily arose.
Now in Shen Mu's power, they also understand that they should put aside those conflicting remarks and ideas that both sides disliked at the time, and now serve Shen Mu wholeheartedly, which is the most important thing.
After all, Shen Mu is the most important savior-level existence who concerns the safety of the entire world and his own future.
At this time, Shen Mu did not care about their psychological fluctuations. He just watched them sit down solemnly and obey the orders completely, and nodded in approval.
Then he set his eyes on Bestur, a nomad from the Kugit Khanate, or the leader of the grassland bandits.
"Please arrange it, sir." Bestur didn't hesitate at all. When he saw Shen Mu's eyes on him, he immediately stood up from the chair with a bang, reached out his hand to his chest respectfully, and bowed to Shen Mu.
"Well, very good, Best, I need you to lead your grassland bandit troops to patrol directly in Dehrim and the newly established Ushaul, and when you are in hiding, I also need you to patrol in Xinriwadin to ensure the smooth flow of roads and the connection between these two newly established castles and us." "Understood, respected Lord Shen Mu, please rest assured, these are what my Kugit people and I are very good at." Bestur smiled confidently. This was a patrol mission that could not be easier for him.
Perhaps for others this requires sleeping in the open air and staying on horseback all the time, but for a Kugit, and a general who was born a bandit on the Kugit grasslands, this is simply daily life.
"Well, very good, that's it." Shen Mu was quite satisfied with Bestul's confident answer. He nodded to him and motioned him to sit down again. Finally, he looked at James.
"Lord Shen Mu." James stood up at this time and looked at Shen Mu, who bowed respectfully again.
"Yeah." Shen Mu nodded.
In fact, he had not originally called James to join the meeting. After all, his arrangement for James was to stay in the library and study the power of magic seriously with those Aidengard believers.
How to use spells, how to learn to use the power of spells to kill enemies, or bring benefits to your own soldiers, this is his arrangement for James.
This morning, James actually sent someone to inform him that he hoped to have a meeting together, and he also had something to report. This also aroused Shen Mu's curiosity, so he asked someone to call James to come to the meeting.
"Do you mean you have something to report?" Shen Mu looked at James and asked.
James immediately said solemnly: "That's right, respected Lord Shen Mu, because I have recently gained new insights when studying spell structure and how to cast spells with those Aidengard believers, and we have also discovered that it seems that this world is becoming more and more accommodating to the casting of spells."
Shen Mu frowned slightly at James' words: "What do you mean by this world is becoming more and more accommodating to the release of spells?"
This sounds a bit weird.
James did not keep Shen Mu in suspense and answered his question immediately: "It means that this world seems to be able to use more powerful lethal spells." He also added in detail: "You have seen it before. The Yangyan Sight can only shoot 20 meters and then lose its power. However, according to our previous tests, the range of the Yangyan Sight, a lethal spell we are using now, has reached 30 meters."
Hearing this, Shen Mu's eyes widened slightly: "The Yangyan ray has reached an effective range of 30 meters."
He had tested it before and found that the Eye-Seducing Ray could only harm unarmored targets within a range of about 20 meters, causing extremely scorching burns, as if someone was holding a burning charcoal and thrusting it hard against his skin.
Quite painful.
But the lethality is average.
Only when it is about 10 meters away can it hit the enemy hard like a real red-hot iron rod, which not only brings a huge impact effect, but also a horrible burning effect.
When the distance is about 3 to 5 meters, if the target hits the enemy's head, it can be a fatal blow to the enemy.
It can be said that the reason why Shen Mu had not allowed these Aidengard believers to go directly to the battlefield before was because their Sun Rays were somewhat useless.
After all, a crossbowman can accurately hit the target within a range of 20 meters and kill the target directly.
As for archers, they can already shoot two or three feather arrows.
Even javelins or throwing knives can be thrown out one after another as new throwing weapons.
The Sun Rays need to wait for a while to form a spell structure in the mind again and use the sharpening again before they can be released. It can be said to be quite embarrassing and useless, a rather useless long-range killing method.
For Shen Mu, both the crossbowmen from the Rhodok Kingdom and the archers from the Vikia Kingdom are quite useful long-range shooters. They will not cause any trouble and their lethality is worthy of praise.
Even the burly Lake Rat Gang thugs could throw javelins that could make up for the close-range damage of about 10 to 20 meters.
So now these Aidengard believers are of no use at all.
The damage is not enough at a shooting distance of 20 meters, so isn't it completely useless?
Now this program time tells him that the shooting distance has reached 30 meters, which has increased. This really surprised Shen Mu. After all, if these spellcaster-type mages are developed, it will definitely be a help to Shen Mu.
And this also illustrates a truth. Although these Aidengard believers have not absorbed enough combat experience to upgrade, as certain changes occur, their strength is actually growing quietly.
"Is it because of the change in the world's rules?" Shen Mu thought of something at this time and seemed to be thinking about something.
He thought again of the black lines he saw on the horizon at that time, which seemed to be gradually surging towards this side. Moreover, when he entered the construction mode before, he also saw that the black lines on the horizon seemed to have some changes.
And during this period of time, the land in the spiritual world scene began to fall towards the Blue Star world at an even faster frequency, turning all the buildings and terrain in the Blue Star world into the terrain of the spiritual world.
"Is it because of this reason?" Thinking of this, Shen Mu seemed to be thinking about something.
"And Lord Shen Mu, according to those Aidengard believers, if they continue like this, the magical fluctuations of this world will bring them better and stronger spell casting abilities." James said again at this time.
"It turns out that this world has experienced the revival of supernatural powers due to the advent of the spiritual world." Shen Mu thought thoughtfully.
At the same time, he nodded to James and said, "Fortunately, your report is very important. Then let those Aidengarde believers continue to comprehend the magical fluctuations of this world. If they reach a certain strength or they can be promoted again after reaching a certain strength, then tell me."
"Understood." James nodded and sat down again.
Because Shen Mu has also discovered that these Aidengard believers are the real magic masters among the magical race.
Upgrading is very difficult now.
He had led these mages to participate in many battles before, including the battle to destroy the Diesel Company, and had let them go into the battlefield and gain combat experience on the front line.
However, these Aidengard believers are just first-level spellcasters and have no option to upgrade.
This really made Shen Mu a little confused.
If he is an ordinary first-level soldier, he will soon reach the second level after experiencing a few battles. After all, there is nothing commendable about these cannon fodder-level conscripts who have just been pulled into the battlefield, so the demand for combat experience is also very low.
It is impossible for the situation to happen now, where these Aidengard believers have gone through several wars without any escalation.
There must be other problems here that have not been discovered. (End of this chapter)
