Real Mount and Blade Game

"...Of course." Fatis's face was even more stunned at this time, but looking at Manide's excitement, he chose to change the subject and didn't want to continue the discussion: "Now the battle outside is about to end, I want to see Lord Shen Mu, do you want to go with me?"

"Then let's go together. I think there does seem to be this possibility. I also want to report this to Lord Shen Mu, and also tell this matter to Ma James." Manide became more and more excited.

Because this was indeed a special kind of battlefield magic he had thought of.

After all, he had communicated with James in the library before, and Manid also learned about the battlefield magic in the world of Mount and Blade through those Aidengard believers.

Some of the things in it can be used not only on the battlefield but also in city defense.

If you can combine them.

It is indeed very effective.

So the two of them quickly arrived at the balcony on the third floor of the castle's main building.

At this time, the defensive baffles on the balcony on the third floor had been removed, and tables, chairs and benches were moved from the floors below to provide Shen Mu with a place to rest.

"Lord Shen Mu." Fatis and Manide came to the balcony on the third floor and bowed respectfully to Shen Mu.

"Well, that's great. Come and sit down." Shen Mu invited the two of them to sit down.

He also waved to the Swadian light infantry next to him and said: "My two adventers must be a little thirsty. Bring them the honey water we have prepared and let them quench their thirst first."

"Understood." These Swadian light infantrymen were light infantrymen who had completed their work in the town area and transferred here to continue serving as attendants.

Hearing Shen Mu's reply at this time, he skillfully brought over the honey water that had been brewed in advance.

Placed in front of Fatis and Manid.

The honey water is diluted with hot water, then cooled with cold well water, and chopped apples and dates, as well as pumpkin and cheese are added to the honey water. Finally, some milk is added. It is thick, cool and sweet, and is a great snack for quenching thirst and cooling down.

"Thank you very much for your care, Lord Shen Mu." Fatis and Manide picked up the wooden bowls and started eating with spoons.

"Hello, Master Shen Mu."

While they were eating, James, who had heard the notice earlier, also rushed here to report.

"Well, very good. Give a bowl to my Master James as well." Shen Mu also asked the light infantry to bring him a bowl.

"Thank you very much." James was slightly stunned, then he realized that Shen Mu was eating cold food with Manide and Fatis.

Then he thanked him, took the bowl of delicious food brought to him by the light infantry next to him and started eating.

The taste is really good.

The sweetness of honey and chopped apples and crisp dates, the fragrant and glutinous pumpkin and shredded cheese add another flavor. The milk makes it thick, and it is cooled by well water, so it is icy and feels like eating ice cream.

Of course, this kind of ice cream is actually a kind of thinking that Shen Mu brought to them.

In the world of Mount & Blade, there is no such food as ice cream.

"My Lord, when I was observing those bone ramps outside, I discovered that the spells in this world can actually be used as a reference for battlefield magic in the world of Mount & Blade."

While eating, Manide told Shen Mu what he had observed.

Of course, I also focused on describing my ideas to James.

"You mean battlefield magic? Yes, yes, that's right. There is indeed such a thing in the War Wind World." Shen Mu was very happy at this time because he won the battle, and the generous rewards of the eighth stage also made him extremely happy.

While feeling relaxed, he was also willing to discuss these things with them: "If we can obtain the power of this battlefield magic, it will indeed be of great help in conquering cities and territories."

And Shen Mu has also discovered that this is no longer an easy problem to help.

Instead, it had a very effective effect on his future siege operations.

After all, a ramp like that could be built outside the city wall with just a wave of his hand using extraordinary strength, even if it was made of bones. So what if it was made of stones or soil?
Isn’t that just a slope?
You have to know that in a normal siege, in order to form a 6-meter-high, 5-meter-wide, and 20-meter-long earth slope, it would require thousands of people to brave the enemy's rain of arrows and desperately carry the materials back and forth several times to form it.

However, if they were not properly prepared, there would be too many porters who could be shot by the enemy's rain of arrows at any time, resulting in failure.

Just think about it, carrying bags of soil under a hail of enemy arrows was difficult enough.

What's more, he was wearing armor.

This further limits mobility.

And they have to carry heavy soil over long distances, and they will definitely be out of breath after going back and forth.

Going back and forth twice, it's just like an ant moving. Isn't this the best living target for the enemy's long-range shooters on the city wall?

So if there is such a battlefield spell, then just use this spell.

Then a direct passage leading to the city wall can be formed in a short time, which will be beneficial for his subordinates, whether they are the Rhodok people who are good at siege, or the Lake Rat Gang destroyers with Nord genes.

As long as you can hold up your shield, you can go directly to the city wall and fight.

Then, with their super strong defense and attack capabilities, it is not difficult to capture the city wall.

As long as the city wall can be captured, the city gate will definitely be controlled. By then, the defense system of the city wall will be directly penetrated by them. What will be left is his cavalry and sword army, rushing into the enemy's town like a flood and completely submerging the enemy, right?

So just by thinking about it, Shen Mu realized that Manide's suggestion to him was indeed something worth thinking about.

Now Shen Mu doesn't need to worry about field battles.

Look outside at the Swadian Heavy Cavalry Corps led by Resarit, and the Khergit Cavalry Archer Corps led by Bestur.

In field battles, the cavalry corps with these two different styles but perfectly coordinated together are no longer something that ordinary troops in the cold weapon era can contend with.

At least for the Green Leaf Group troops that Shen Mu knew about, they were just some archers and light infantry. If they encountered his two cavalry groups in the field, their final fate would be no better than the skeletons that were being slaughtered now. Now these skeletons were already in a state of slaughter, and even if they fought back, they could not cause any damage to his heavy cavalry group.

The fact is that there has not been any minor or serious injury so far, let alone death.

After all, most of the troops sent out by Shen Mu were 4th and 5th section heavy cavalry, all of whom were armed to the teeth like a human iron wall.

It would be a fantasy to want to break the defense of the mounted and slashed cavalry wearing zebra armor, mail or even chain mail with the rotten weapons or bone weapons in the hands of those skeletons.

So when it comes to field battles, Shen Mu doesn't care at all.

All he cared about was siege.

"Mr. James, if possible, can you lead those Aidengard believers to learn this spell? Or research this special spell." Manid also looked at James and asked.

"It's difficult, or not very possible, at least not at our current level."

James pondered for a moment and answered seriously, "The spell structure of the spirit world is very special and different from the spells of the battle front world. The one who released the sudden earth slope is also a very powerful spirit world wizard. The reason why it released the earth slope is that the concentration of the extraordinary power in the Blue Star world has not reached a certain standard, so it can only release such a spell. After all, for those wizards in the spirit world, this power to form the bone earth slope is too rough. It is just a special kind of transportation."

"It seems that we can't form such an effective spell for the time being?" Manid had a look of regret on his face.

Even Fatis, who was standing next to him, felt a little regretful.

There was no way, because they could all see that if they could release extraordinary power to form a breakthrough or a ramp formed by bones, it would be extremely helpful for siege.

Now there is no way to use this power.

That's really a pity.

"Alas, but we will still work hard to become stronger, and strive not to let everyone down when we encounter such problems in the future." There was a look of regret on James' face, and he sincerely expressed his apologies to everyone.

"It's okay, Mr. James. After all, it's not your fault." Manid and Fati also comforted James.

In fact, this is not a problem for James and the 20 Aidengard believers.

James was born in the world of Mount and Blade, and he himself did not have any extraordinary powers. Even in the world of Mount and Blade where the believers of Aidengard who possessed extraordinary powers lived, the magic structure was different from that of the spirit world.

Although everyone has the same goal.

In the end, they all use extraordinary powers.

But you have to understand that supernatural power and extraordinary power themselves are not the same thing. Although they are both collectively called extraordinary powers, if there is a slight difference in the details, then basically there is a huge difference.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many spell schools and so many types of spellcasters.

Just when the three of them were still discussing battlefield magic.

Shen Mu, who was still thinking, suddenly smiled, looked at the three of them and slowly said, "Why do you think battlefield magic cannot be realized?"

"Master Shen Mu, what do you mean...???"

Fatis, James and Manide were stunned for a moment, but when they saw the smile on Shen Mu's face, they suddenly understood what he meant and smiles appeared on their faces.

Manide asked bluntly, "Master Shen Mu, do you have a way to solve this battlefield spell problem?"

"Of course." Shen Mu did not hide it.

Directly acknowledged their speculation.

"this!!!"

Suddenly, the smiles on the faces of Fatis, James and Manide showed ecstasy.

Moreover, Fatis clenched his fists and waved them fiercely: "This is really great. When we attack the Green Leaf Group and the Wood Elf Village next time, as long as we have this kind of power, we can break through their wall defenses and directly attack their forces."

As the only military general among the three, Fatis certainly understands the role of this spell in the upcoming battle.

After all, in a siege, the first thing to attack is the city wall.

If the advantage of the city wall can be weakened directly, allowing oneself to directly attack the city wall, then for the siege war, which originally required a lot of cost to successfully attack the city, it will become much easier.

At this time, a dialog box that only he could see appeared in front of Shen Mu's eyes.

[One of the rewards for the eighth stage: Condensed Ramp (Battlefield Spell) (lv1). Introduction: You can draw the extraordinary power around you, and then use the surrounding materials to lay a ramp. The skill effect is related to your skill level. The higher the level, the higher, wider and farther the ramp you can lay, and the stronger the materials you use. You can even use extraordinary power to reinforce the ramp. ]

"Condensed ramp, battlefield spell." Shen Mu looked at the content that appeared in the dialog box in front of him, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Interesting."

This is really interesting.

Especially on the eve of his attack on Green Leaf Group, he obtained this reward by completing the system stage task.

Then the next step is to make tactical arrangements to attack the Green Leaf Group.

It will have a greater effect!

"Oh, right. There is one more thing you need to be prepared for." Shen Mu also announced his plan to send Zhang Bo to the Green Leaf Group for peace talks, and then during the negotiation process he would actually deploy troops to launch a surprise attack.

Then Shen Mu told the generals about his plan.

After all, this is the general policy, and the specific details still require detailed discussions between him and these generals. Shen Mu has never thought that his military talent is higher than these Mount and Blade generals who have come out of the real world of war, so Shen Mu is still willing to have a good talk with them based on the principle of democratic consultation.

After all, three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. Although this saying is a slang, it is also a popular way of saying it is a way of gathering the wisdom of all.

Especially after they had dealt with the enemies on the battlefield and returned with their troops, Resarit and Bestur also returned to the balcony on the third floor of the castle to discuss together.

The plan gradually took shape. (End of this chapter)
