Real Mount and Blade Game

The defeat of Green Leaf Group did not actually attract Shen Mu's attention. His attention was now completely focused on the east side of the city wall.

The battle continues.

However, there were already a lot of mounted and swordsman soldiers arriving at the east side of the city wall.

So even though more and more skeletons rushed up the slope outside the city wall, trying to compete with him for control of the east wall, they still failed.

The Holy Tree Knights, Swadian Sergeants and Swadian Infantry stationed here, as well as the Lake Rat Gang Vandals, plus the assistance of the Holy Tree Spearmen, Holy Tree Swordsmen, and Swadian Light Infantry, have already firmly controlled the eastern city wall.

No matter how the undead army composed of skeletons outside attacked the city wall, they were still unable to take even a single step to the top of the city wall.

And at this moment, the skeleton archers outside seemed to have used up their rotten arrows.

The dense rain of arrows has disappeared.

This also shows that the Skeleton Legion of the Black Arrow Tower's Seventh Dynasty has reached a bottleneck.

"The situation is not good." Shen Mu, who was on the balcony on the third floor, looked at the stalemate on the east side of the city wall and frowned tightly.

He had been waiting for the attack from the commander-in-chief of the eighth-stage Skeleton Legion, but until now, the Undead Legion was still attacking continuously, but it was just thunder without rain.

He has not yet seen the vanguard commander of the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty, the one that really made Shen Mu secretly wary.

This is the situation that Shen Mu is most worried about now.

The other party hides in the dark like a poisonous snake, and then spies on him. Once he finds some fatal place, he will bite. If he does not find any fatal opportunity, then the other party will still hide in the dark, hiding in the dark, staring at him covetously.

This is the toughest opponent.

"Lord Shen Mu, Mr. James is here and would like to request a meeting with you." At this time, just behind Shen Mu, a Holy Tree Knight walked quickly over and reported to him as a messenger.

"Then let him come up." Shen Mu nodded and agreed to meet.

"My lord, everything is normal. The enemies in the Holy Light Torch Tower Library of the Holy White Council have already left through the portal they opened."

James walked over from the spiral staircase to the balcony. He bowed respectfully to Shen Mu before reporting: "But before leaving, the wood elves did not kill the 20 Aidengarde believers we left in the library. This is indeed a bit unexpected. They are actually quite merciful."

"Mercy." Shen Mu could not deny the word and gave a mocking smile. He glanced at Zhang Bo who was looking down with his back to him, and said in a very calm tone: "It seems that our previous ally who made a verbal covenant found that he really couldn't compete with us, Dehrim, so he left room for peace talks when there was no other way."

After all, Shen Mu has experienced a lot, including interpersonal communication and business negotiations, as well as this kind of small tail-style blank space. He understands the other party's intentions very well.

This is a signal left by the other party that they want to negotiate.

It can also be said to be a signal of surrender.

If the other party wants to completely break off relations, then killing these Aidengard believers will leave a deep impression on Shen Mu.

After all, although Shen Mu knew that there would be a surprise attack, he really didn't expect that the wood elves of the Green Leaf Group would actually come directly to his castle area through the portal and launch a surprise attack. What's more, the place they occupied was the Holy Light Torch Tower of the Holy White Council, a magical building that was very important to him.

However, Shen Mu did feel in a good mood, because those guys from the Green Leaf Group did not kill all of his 20 Aidengard believers.

After all, the only extraordinary power he could rely on were these 20 devout believers of the Aiden family.

If these believers were killed, Shen Mu would definitely be very angry. This was the mage unit he had worked so hard to obtain. There were only these 20 guys in the Mounted Blade unit of to people in the entire Dehrim, and they were spellcasters.

Just because of a negligence and a battle, all 20 Aidengard believers were killed.

Shen Mu was really going to be furious.

"Forget it, let's not think about it. Since the other party has left a good impression on me, I don't mind giving them a chance to negotiate." Shen Mu said to James calmly with a smile on his face, "Go down and check on those Aidengard believers to see if they are injured or if they are too frightened and emotionally unstable. Go and comfort them."

"There's nothing wrong. I came back after comforting them." James smiled. After all, he had already moved to the tower of the city wall when the battle started.

The original reason was that as a general, he was also responsible for the defense of the city walls in the underwriting area, and he went there to supervise and check for any hidden dangers.

After making sure there was no problem and just when I was about to return to the library in the Torch Tower, the portal had already opened.

The wood elf sword dancers inside rushed out.

They began to attack the city walls, towers and the main building of the castle. It was so sudden and swift that even James was a little scared.

Fortunately, the troops summoned by Shen Mu landed directly in the main building of the castle, the city walls and the towers, firmly guarding the stairs leading upstairs and the spiral staircase in the tower, making it impossible for the wood elf sword dancers to break through their defense.

They were forced to attack the main building of the castle.

Then, in the empty courtyards and outer courts, they became moving targets for the archers and crossbowmen on the city walls and towers.

Just like now, there were corpses all over the ground.

They were all filled with feather arrows and crossbow bolts.

very messy.

It was like a dead grassland overgrown with weeds.

"Those wood elves have suffered heavy losses. Lord Shen Mu, you have made the best arrangements. You are really wise." James spoke sincerely at this time, praising Shen Mu's arrangements.

"I just vaguely felt a warning from the unknown, saying that an enemy had launched an attack on my Dedeherim." Shen Mu couldn't really tell the reason at this time, after all, Zhang Bo was still here. He just said casually: "Then I deployed some troops, but I didn't expect that the one who came to attack me was our ally, the Wood Elves of the Green Leaf Group."

As he spoke, Shen Mu's voice also carried some regret: "I originally wanted to get along well with them, but I didn't expect them to attack me first."

"Alas, what a pity, but there are no eternal friends, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Perhaps the wood elves of the Green Leaf Group attacked us because of a dispute over interests." James was a general from Calradia after all. Although he was good at medicine and theology, he also understood political struggles. After all, the dirty things between nobles and nobles, and between countries on the Calradia continent, were commonplace.

There is nothing noble or not noble.

Betrayal is a very popular word. As long as the benefits offered by the other party are big enough, even the marshal under the king can betray to other countries.

Of course, it is not uncommon for a king to be as stingy as King Harlaus of Swadia, who is very stingy with his nobles and lords. There are even cases where those nobles have secretly contacted each other to resist King Harlaus's rule and orders, and in fact have begun to undermine the king's own rule over the Kingdom of Swadia.

"After this battle is over, I will send an envoy to the Green Leaf Group to have a good talk with them and ask them what they really mean." Shen Mu snorted coldly: "It means that my soldiers did not suffer many casualties, while the other side also suffered heavy losses. If I really suffered heavy losses, then I would definitely not miss the opportunity to negotiate with those guys in the Green Leaf Group."

"Sir, do you still want to negotiate with them?" James was slightly stunned at this time. He didn't understand why Shen Mu would say such a thing. After all, the Green Leaf Group had suffered so many losses in the wood elf villages, which meant that their military strength was already empty and they could no longer compete with Dehrim.

Now, as long as we send troops to attack, the Green Leaf Group will definitely be destroyed.

In this case, why send an embassy to negotiate?
And it was a peace talk.

James really didn't understand.

"Okay, James, I'm not a person who likes war. After all, the Blue Star world is so big, and Long City is so big too. Why must we have such a big conflict with the Wood Elves?"

Shen Mu spoke slowly at this time, as if he was refuting James' impression of him: "It is easy to resolve enemies, but difficult to resolve them. Moreover, the Green Leaf Group has a powerful Wood Elf Plane behind it, which is a very powerful force. We can't just look at the present and not the future."

But while speaking, Shen Mu glanced at Zhang Bo, who had stopped crying and had his back to them, and seemed to be secretly listening to their conversation.

Shen Mu also said it to him on purpose.

"You are kind, respected Lord Shen Mu." James saw Shen Mu's gaze at this time, so he lowered his head and put his hands on his chest, bowed respectfully, showing great admiration for Shen Mu.

"Okay, there's nothing for you to do here, James. Go and arrange the work of the Holy Light Torch Tower of the Holy White Council." Shen Mu waved his hand and said, "Also arrange for someone to clean up the battlefield. This job is left to you."

"Understood." James responded, touched his chest and bowed again, then left the balcony on the third floor.

And after James left.

As if he had discovered something, Shen Mu looked at Zhang Bo, who was still in the corner of the balcony, prying his hand through the gap in the baffle and looking out. He said in a puzzled tone: "Mr. Zhang Bo, you seem to be in a very bad state. Is this the first time you have experienced such a tragic battle, and you still haven't recovered?"

This was of course an excuse from Shen Mu, an excuse he personally gave to Zhang Bo.

"No, no, no, Master Shen Mu, I'm almost recovered now." Zhang Bo wiped the tears and snot from his face with his sleeves, smiled and said to Shen Mu with sincere emotion: "Although this is the first time I've seen such a tragic battle, I can still feel that everything is getting better."

“Everything is getting better?”

Shen Mu frowned in puzzlement, as if he didn't understand what Zhang Bo meant. He said in a complicated tone, "I am still facing the attacks of the Undead Legion, and I have also waged war with my verbal ally, the Green Leaf Group. The other party shamelessly launched a surprise attack on me without declaring war. Can I still say that everything is getting better now?"

"Yes, yes. I feel it. Everything is getting better. I don't know why, but just now when I heard you say that you were going to have a negotiation with the Wood Elf Village, which is the Green Leaf Group, I suddenly felt relieved."

Zhang Bo smiled at this time and said sincerely: "You know, I am a prophecy mage. If I feel that everything is getting better in the future, then my mood will become very relaxed."

"So what you mean is that if I negotiate with Green Leaf Group," Shen Mu said thoughtfully, "will good things happen?"

"That's right, that's how I feel." Zhang Bo nodded repeatedly at this time.

In his heart, Zhang Bo also breathed a sigh of relief. When he found out that Shen Mu had the intention to negotiate, he wanted to use this intention to prevent Dehrim from directly destroying the Green Leaf Group. Just like he destroyed the Diesel Company, he would completely destroy the Green Leaf Group.

So Zhang Bo decided to seize this opportunity.

In this way, as long as he can leave the seeds of hope for the Green Leaf Group, it will be a chance for him to redeem himself.

This tragic defeat did deal a heavy blow to the Green Leaf Group, but if you think about it, you can understand that even if they did not launch this surprise attack, then when Dehrim became stronger, their Green Leaf Group and their Wood Elf Village would be in a very awkward situation, and war would definitely break out at that time.

It would be better to take this opportunity and try to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.

of course.

Now it's a failed gamble.

Then accept the reality, quickly get rid of the shadow of failure, and allow the Green Leaf Group to barely survive.

This is the only thing Zhang Bo can do.

'boom! ’

But while the two were still talking, a loud noise suddenly came from the east side of the city wall.

Directly interrupted the conversation between the two.

At this time Shen Mu turned his head and looked over there, his pupils shrank slightly, and his expression suddenly became solemn.

"Here it comes!" he murmured.

Because just outside the east city wall, suddenly in the thick black fog, a huge giant skeleton appeared there.

Obvious.

The vanguard commander of the Seventh Dynasty of Black Arrow Tower in Phase 8.

Appeared!
The target of the 8th stage mission finally arrived at the city wall of Dehrim.

The attack on the city wall begins! (End of this chapter)
