Real Mount and Blade Game

When this Swadian light infantryman rushed up to report, it was as if he had confirmed the authenticity of Zhang Bo's divination. The faces of those Holy Tree Knights, who were still anxious and somewhat doubtful, completely changed.

Yes, his face changed completely.

"What's going on? Tell me in detail!" The Holy Tree Knight looked at the Swadian light infantryman.

"In the eastern city area, a powerful being appeared just now, who can use very strange magical powers. On the south wall of the east city gate, a slope made of piled up bones and debris has been formed again." The Swadian light infantry swallowed hard, forced himself to calm down, and described the incident carefully.

At the same time, he finally said: "Right now, Knight Fatis is leading a group of Lake Rat Gang saboteurs to resist the surging skeletons. The situation is very dangerous!"

He described it clearly.

"I understand." The Holy Tree Knight turned around and walked towards the stairs next to him, wanting to report the matter to Shen Mu.

"No need to come up. Lord Shen Mu has heard it. Prepare to come down now." At this moment, the voice of a Holy Tree Knight came from above.

Then with a bang, a Holy Tree Knight in full armor jumped down from the top of the spire which was more than three meters high and hit the wooden floor of the attic heavily, making a heavy sound. The wooden floor also creaked and groaned because of the force at this moment.

But this wasn't the only Tree Knight to jump down from the top of the attic.

With the sound of bangs, seven or eight Holy Tree Knights, all fully armed, jumped down from above, then stood aside, alert with stern expressions.

Obviously, the three-meter height and the nearly 70 to 80 kilograms of armor they were wearing did not cause any harm.

It also represents the physical fitness of these Holy Tree Knights.

"Mr. Zhang Bo, tell me, what happened?" At this time, Shen Mu had already climbed down the stairs. Looking at his extremely nervous face, which was obviously distorted by fear, he said in a light tone: "According to the result of divination, where will the danger appear?"

Shen Mu was asking.

Zhang Bo raised his head and looked at him, and immediately seemed to realize something.

He walked quickly to Shen Mu, pointed to the east wall and said loudly: "It's really urgent, Lord Shen Mu, over there on the east wall, according to my divination, there are definitely more than just two ramps, there will be something more dangerous!"

"Lord Shen Mu! Now a second ramp has appeared, and the troops on the east wall are insufficient!" And the Swadian light infantryman who served as a messenger once again panted for reinforcements.

"Yeah." Shen Muzhe was still very calm.

He nodded in response.

Shen Mu hesitated for a moment, then ordered the Swadian light infantryman, "Mobilize 500 Swadian troops now to reinforce the city wall."

These soldiers wearing armor, even the worst Swadian light infantry, were equipped with chain mail, and they would not be at a disadvantage when fighting with those skeletons on the city wall.

Not to mention the Lake Rat Gang vandals who have stronger melee capabilities.

Just mix it up.

Form a city wall combat team.

Just relying on those weak skeletons, some are even stronger than ordinary undead skeletons. They have a metallic and black luster all over their bodies, and their defense and combat capabilities are stronger than ordinary skeletons.

When facing a systematic combat team from the Mount & Blade world, they are no different from ordinary skeletons.

Shen Mu also added this sentence when giving the order.

"clear."

The Swadian light infantry responded, then turned and left the attic to convey Shen Mu's order.

This is a problem that must be solved quickly. After all, the east side of the city wall is now facing the pressure of enemy attacks. If it is not solved quickly, it will be very important for Dehrim.

As soon as the Swadian light infantryman left the main building of the castle, the mounted and slashed soldiers stationed in the main building and on the outer walls were immediately mobilized.

500 fifth-level Swadian sergeants, fourth-level Swadian infantrymen, and third-level Swadian light infantrymen immediately picked up their weapons and filed out through the small door on the second floor of the castle's main building, which was connected to the city wall. They followed the stairs of the two sections of the city wall and quickly supported the direction of the eastern city wall.

Looking at the Lake Rat Gang vandals who were still suppressing the Skeletons tightly, there were already some gaps in their defense.

They also raised their weapons and rushed forward brazenly.

"Kill! For Swadia! For Lord Shen Mu!" As these heavily armored Swadian soldiers rushed up the city wall and joined the team resisting the skeletons, the pressure on the entire east side of the city wall suddenly decreased and it became obviously safer.

"Lord Shen Mu, the pressure on the city wall has been partially relieved." On the main building of the castle, a Holy Tree Knight looked at the east side of the city wall and saw that it had once again resisted the attack of the skeletons. He immediately turned around and reported to Shen Mu.

"Yeah, very good." Shen Mu nodded with satisfaction.

However, at this time, he looked at Zhang Bo who had completely recovered, with little expression on his face, and just said lightly: "Mr. Zhang Bo, your divination is indeed very useful. You are worthy of being a prophecy mage. Then, where else will there be danger?"

"Thank you, thank you for your compliment." Zhang Bo was still frightened at this time. He swallowed his saliva and said with a wry smile, as if he was very weak and tired: "But Lord Shen Mu, this is not the only danger. In my divination, a greater danger is still brewing and is secretly spying on Dehrim."

"Yeah, I know." But Shen Mu was not surprised by this.

In fact, it is not surprising.

How could the two ramps formed by bone residue outside be formed so casually and easily?

Just think about it and you’ll understand.

There must be a terrifying person hiding in those dark rooms, who possesses powerful extraordinary powers or is even a spellcaster of a stronger level.

Just as Zhang Bo said, he was spying on them.

"There is a powerful necromancer, very strong." Shen Mu said calmly: "We must be vigilant."

Zhang Bo pursed his lips and was about to say something, but an idea suddenly occurred to him and he twisted the words that were on his lips: "No, Master Shen Mu, there is something more dangerous!"

"Hmm?" Shen Mu frowned and looked at Zhang Bo.

He didn't expect that he guessed wrong.

At this time, even the Holy Tree Knights nearby turned their heads curiously and looked at Zhang Bo, frowning. They were quite annoyed by his hesitant and endless words as he tried to show off himself.

Especially in such an emergency, even though they are calm, as knights and fighters who can fight the enemy on the front line, they still use euphemisms like rumors.

In the chaotic world of Mount and Blade, which has been divided for hundreds of years, all the former court nobles have disappeared. Where are there so many euphemisms?

"Master Zhang Bo, what are you hesitating about? Or rather, what are you afraid of?" Shen Mu also looked at Zhang Bo.

"No, no, no, I'm not afraid of anything." Zhang Bo's voice trembled. He swallowed his saliva and said with a trembling throat: "But, during my divination, a terrifying existence will come from the East."

"A terrifying existence?" Shen Mu frowned: "Can you explain it more clearly?"

He found that Zhang Bo was in a very bad mental state.

Not only was his tone stumbling and hesitant.

Even the narration is extremely confusing.

Shen Mu knew that it was a supernatural existence, a powerful existence. Even if Zhang Bo didn't say it, he could guess it from the two skeleton ramps outside.

Now, he realized that what Zhang Bo said was a waste of time. If he was still sleeping here in a daze without knowing what was going on, then he didn't want to continue talking to him here.

Because it's useless.

"Oops, that was a bit too much." Zhang Bo also noticed the irritation on Shen Mu's face at this time, and realized that his performance just now seemed to be a bit over-acted.

His expression changed again, and he looked at Shen Mu and said very seriously: "I'm sorry, Lord Shen Mu, I don't know what it is, but according to my divination, if we don't send more troops, it will be difficult to resist that existence and the large number of undead troops it brings."

"More troops?" Shen Mu frowned.

"Yes." Zhang Bo swallowed his saliva and nodded affirmatively. At the same time, he looked at the knights next to him who were wearing fine plate armor with tree crowns printed on them, and said in a trembling voice: "According to my divination, if these stronger knights can go to the front battlefield, there is a greater chance of victory."

"Yeah." Shen Mu nodded.

There was no doubt about Zhang Bo's words, because the Holy Tree Knight himself was a powerful fifth-level knight.

And because of the equipment on his body, his combat power when fighting against evil is stronger than that of ordinary knights.

For example, it is stronger than the Swadian Knight.

This is the advantage brought by those who remain in the world of Mount and Blade, this low-magic world, with mithril and the craftsmanship of the elven craftsmen.

"Then you go." Shen Mu made a decision after hesitating.

The 50 Holy Tree Knights who were specifically assigned to protect Shen Mu turned around and left the tower without hesitation.

However, there were still 10 Holy Tree Knights who stayed behind to serve as Shen Mu's bodyguards and did not leave.

"Do we need more soldiers to provide support to the east side of the city wall?" Shen Mu looked at the pointed attic of the castle's main building which had suddenly become empty and then looked at Zhang Bo again.

"This is already very good." Zhang Bo nodded repeatedly. In order to make his performance more realistic, he even touched his chest with his hand. After taking two breaths, he added: "Of course, Lord Shen Mu, it would be even better if more troops could go to the western wall to defend together to prevent any accidents."

"According to your divination, will there be problems with the west wall?" Shen Mu asked directly.

"Yes, but I'm not sure either." Zhang Bo smiled bitterly, "I'm just a low-level prophecy mage. I can't predict the real results of this world with 100% certainty. What's more, I'm using ambiguous divination, which makes the predictions even more vague."

"Blurred?" Shen Mu had no expression on his face: "That's such a pity."

"Sorry." Zhang Bo sensed the alienation in Shen Mu's tone and realized that what he said now made Shen Mu look down on him a little bit regarding the prophecy.

So he sighed and still wanted to save his reputation.

However, Zhang Bo was speechless in his heart about Shen Mu's current situation, and felt that he could not continue acting. After all, the time was almost up. If he was not still needed to perform, Zhang Bo would have wanted to pull out a knife and stab Shen Mu in the stomach.

This way, there would be no need for the Wood Elf Village or the Green Leaf Group's surprise attack and decapitation troops.

Of course, this is just Zhang Bo’s thought.

After all, if he really dared to do so, after stabbing the knife into Shen Mu's stomach, Shen Mu might not die on the spot. And he, a prophecy mage who was not good at fighting and had no means of escape, would probably be hacked to death on the spot by the swords of the 10 Holy Tree Knights who stayed behind.

There wasn't much chance for him to escape, and there was no possibility of that happening.

After all, Zhang Bo still had his own ideas. He wanted to take advantage of the time when the Green Leaf Group's assault troops attacked the castle area to go to the Holy Light Torch Tower of the Holy White Council and sign a soul contract with the human mages who called themselves Aidengard, so as to replace all his followers with these human mages.

This is Zhang Bo’s little plan.

Just when Zhang Bo was lost in thought, Shen Mu next to him glanced at him and asked again: "Is the west side of the city wall also dangerous?"

"I think it's always right to be careful." Zhang Bo came back to his senses and replied quickly.

"Okay." Shen Mu nodded and asked a Holy Tree Knight to convey the order.

There were too many soldiers pouring into the castle's main building and the castle area.

If we all squeeze in here, we will lose room for tactical maneuver.

Sending a group of them out to garrison in other places will add more tactical space and will also be helpful in defensive arrangements.

Soon, the Holy Tree Knight who went to convey the order came back.

"Sir, everything has been arranged." The Holy Tree Knight reported.

"Well, very good." Shen Mu nodded. The person in charge of the western city wall was Resarit, who was also a meticulous cavalry and swordsman general. Shen Mu believed that he would not make any mistakes.

"But, sir." The Holy Tree Knight looked worried.

"What?" Shen Mu looked at him.

"We currently have too few defenders in the castle area, including the castle's main building." The Holy Tree Knight spoke hesitantly.

As he spoke, he glanced at the empty attic and said in a serious tone, "Especially since those Holy Tree Knights have left you, I think it is wrong. You must be given the highest level of protection."
