Real Mount and Blade Game

To be honest, Shen Mu had a very good impression of the vampire matron Isabel, and this vampire matron was also the only undead monster he had met who could communicate and negotiate with him normally.

If they can communicate and negotiate normally, it means that the other party is a person with his own rationality.

And there will not be any major conflicts with you because of the camp.

Even now Shen Mu can still be sure that Isabel has maintained absolute restraint, which makes him quite surprised when he thinks about it now.

"Sir, do you want to go over and check it out?" A Holy Tree Knight spoke up behind Shen Mu.
At the same time, he pulled the reins in his hand, allowing the horse under his crotch to stop or gallop forward at any time according to his subsequent operations.

"No need." Shen Mu withdrew his gaze from the large supermarket.

He shook the reins in his hand and let the warhorse under him continue to trot forward.

He said calmly, "We are running out of time. It's almost dark. We are already short on time to get to New Uxhall. There is no need to waste time on this kind of thing now."

Anyway, this large supermarket is right between New Uxhall and New Dhrim.

If he wanted, he could always send troops to inspect.

There's no need to waste time now.

"clear."

These Holy Tree Knights also nodded, and then followed Shen Mu's speed at Fatis's call.

Continue moving quickly towards New Uxhall.

It's indeed too late.

The current time period is 5:55 pm.

There are only 5 minutes left before it becomes dark and shrouded by the rules of the dead.

Although they are not afraid of short-term activities in the darkness shrouded by the rules of the undead, they must know that the premise of this sentence itself has a prefix, which is short-term activities.

If we continue to be active in the dark for a long time, the undead rules might notice the abnormality here and send down more undead monsters.

By then, the mere 22 people would be trapped in the darkness, surrounded by more and more endless undead monsters.

That would be a disastrous outcome.

So Shen Mu didn't want to gamble.

Besides, it would be really stupid to bet your life on something that is bound to happen.

"Let's go, let's hurry up." Shen Mu urged Fatis and the Holy Tree Knights next to him, and raised his hand and waved it forward to speed up.

The sound of horse hooves was deafening.

They ran forward faster.

Soon, after they turned a corner of the city, the outline of Uxhall Castle appeared vaguely in front of them under the setting sun.

After all, Uxhall is a building built on a huge earthen mound, with the top being nearly 40 meters high.

The mound itself is about 30 meters high.

Plus a castle that is more than ten meters high.

Can't you see it from far away?

This is also the reason why there are still a large number of Blue Star buildings in Balihe Street.

If it weren't for these Blue Star buildings.

I'm afraid that from the location of New Dherim, you can see from afar the new Uxhall, which is built on a huge mound.

"Sir, we need to move faster, otherwise it will be dark." At this time, Fatis looked at the surrounding environment that had fallen into darkness, and even the gray fog that had appeared deep in some buildings where the sunlight could not reach. His face gradually became solemn.

They have to speed up.

And it looked like they would need more than 10 minutes to reach New Ux. Well, if they didn't speed up, they would definitely be trapped in darkness.

It would be bad if we encountered those cruel undead monsters at that time.

"Ah."

Shen Mu nodded, led them again, and sped up his pace.

The horseshoes hitting the ground made a messy and dense sound.

They are very fast.

But no matter how fast they were, it was too late.

Far away in the west, the sun struggling on the horizon had entered the final countdown before completely falling.

The dim sunlight could no longer cover the entire blue star world.

The native rules of the Blue Star world have gradually been replaced by the rules of the dead as the rules themselves have become weaker.

Now I see the yellow light of the sunset becoming less and less and weaker.

will know.

The rules of the dead have dispelled the rules of the blue star.

just now.

Next.

It's time for the rules of the dead to come into play.

"Get ready, it's going to be dark soon."

Shen Mu could estimate the time when it would get dark. At this moment, he clenched the spear in his hand, turned around and reminded Fatis and the Holy Tree Knights behind him in a deep voice: "No matter what happens, we should not get entangled here, and kill all the way to New Uxhall directly. Don't hesitate. Do you understand?"

"Understood." Fatis and the 20 Holy Tree Knights behind him responded in a serious tone.

So their speed increased.

But after they ran about four or five hundred meters, a special throbbing suddenly emerged in their hearts.

It felt like encountering absolute terror.

It's like encountering a natural enemy.

'Om! '

And at this moment, the still struggling sunset in the west finally set completely.

It completely fell below the horizon.

The day passed.

'woo woo woo woo--'

Then, the originally dim sky was completely occupied by a deep, pure black color, just like the movement of stars.

The sky is darkened.

The world fell into darkness.

it's dark.

"Stay alert." Fatis suddenly spoke up to warn. "Stay alert."

All the Holy Tree Knights repeated Fatis's reminder.

And from the very beginning, Shen Mu rode in the front, followed by Fatis and their formation of 20 Holy Tree Knights, and they all completed the transformation.

These 20 Holy Tree Knights took the initiative to move forward, and like a conical circle, they protected Shen Mu and Fatis in the middle of the team.

There are also 5 Holy Tree Knights leading the way about 10 meters in front, and 5 Holy Tree Knights following behind about 5 meters behind.

Formed a protective formation.

"Ah."

Shen Mu was riding on his horse and nodded slightly when he saw their skillful protective formation. This was why he brought these Holy Tree Knights here.

Whether it is fighting on the battlefield or protecting in daily life, these Holy Tree Knights can complete these tasks well.

And with superb skills.

For example, the five Holy Tree Knights in the front are leading the way.

When encountering any undead monster that came into this world from the rules of the death penalty, he would not say a word but would just pick up the spear in his hand and stab it hard.

Using the inertia and force generated by the speed of the galloping warhorse under his crotch, he basically hit the target with one blow.

And it's a fatal blow.

Even if these Holy Tree Knights did not want to use the spears in their hands to deal with the undead monsters, the war horses under their crotch were wearing Holy Tree vests, which were all chain plate armor-level armor. Not only were they hard in texture but also very heavy. As these war horses charged forward, they were like battering rams.

Any undead monster that appeared before them would be hit by these holy tree warhorses with special bloodlines and enhanced physiques if they were unable to dodge.

It really felt like being hit by a giant's hammer.

The ordinary skeleton soldiers turned into skeletons all over the ground on the spot.

The zombie, which seemed to have thick skin and flesh, fell directly to the ground, its flesh and blood shattered.

Even the stronger ghouls, when faced with this heavy blow, wailed and retreated repeatedly, unable to stand up for a while. The Holy Tree Knight who followed closely behind them pierced their bodies with the spear in his hand, and used the extra killing power of mithril against undead creatures to kill them at their feet in a single encounter.

For these Holy Tree Knights, these undead monsters that appeared now were no match for them.

Even when they were charging forward quickly.

The undead monsters along the way were killed by them one after another.

That relaxing feeling.

Everyone present, including Shen Mu, noticed that something was wrong.

"These undead monsters seem to be very weak." Right beside Shen Mu, Fatis personally used the spear in his hand to deal with a zombie that was about to rush over during the charge.

With just one strike, the spear was thrust into the chest of the zombie, destroying his heart.

It also destroys his energy circuits.

In addition, the Holy Tree Knight who was guarding the back also raised his spear and stabbed it accurately into the eye socket of the zombie, killing him completely.

This scene made Fatis feel even more strange: "These undead monsters didn't seem to be so weak before."

"Yes, that's true." Shen Mu has also noticed this phenomenon.

before.

As long as it is dark, the undead monsters that appear in the darkness basically appear in groups.

After all, darkness and gray fog are the medium that produces undead monsters.

But now.

Darkness and gray fog exist together, but the number of undead monsters produced is really too small, and the strength of these undead monsters is also very weak.

It made them feel unbelievably relaxed.

Even when Shen Mu and these Holy Tree Knights were riding their horses and charging forward, they could still vaguely feel that even the gray fog that was originally so thick that they could not see their hands in front of them had become much thinner as they looked around.

So much so that they could see each other from a distance of about 20 meters.

Even if the enemy is 30 meters away.

You can see a general outline.

If this happened in the past, even with a torch one could only see a narrow field of vision within a range of 10 meters around them. The current situation was really wrong. It was too contrary to the dark undead rules under the undead rules that Shen Mu, the Holy Tree Knights, and Fatis had known before.

And just as they were running forward quickly, without torches in their hands to illuminate and dispel the rules of the undead.

The power of mithril in their armor was only flashing with a slight heat.

It's not the same as before.

As long as they enter the darkness and the power of the undead rules appears, the Holy Tree Knight suits they wear on their bodies will directly emit waves of holy power belonging to mithril, bringing a burning sensation.

"If I'm not mistaken, Lord Shen Mu seems to represent the evil power in the darkness, but it's not too strong."

A Holy Tree Knight spoke slowly.

"The evil power in the darkness is not too strong?" Shen Mu lowered his head slowly and shook the reins in his hand again, letting the warhorse under his crotch run forward and maintain the same speed.

However, he had some special thoughts about the Holy Tree Knight's speculation in his mind.

"Yes, Lord Shen Mu, if the evil power is too strong, then the Holy Tree Knight suits we are wearing will definitely be very hot, giving us a warning." The Holy Tree Knight added again.

"It should be like this." The surrounding Holy Tree Knights also nodded and agreed with the Holy Tree Knight's guess.

After all, they had been in darkness before, and had left Dehrim and entered the darkness to fight.

You have to know that they were holding torches in their hands at that time, and the Holy Tree Knight suits on their bodies were feeling a little hot.

Although the burning sensation was less than it is now.

But if you think about it carefully.

The burning sensation was actually not much less than it is now.

After all, they are all in darkness, and there are undead rules all around. For the Holy Tree Knight Set, the undead rules themselves are evil forces.

Of course, if those undead monsters get closer, the burning sensation on their bodies will become stronger and stronger.

But now the undead monsters they faced were so weak and few in number.

That's the burning feeling on the body.

Doesn't it mean that the evil power around them is not actually too strong, so that the mithril contained in the Holy Tree Knight suit on their bodies will not release too much scorching power to warn them?
"Lord Shen Mu, we are almost at New Uxhall where Mr. Bandak is." Just as Shen Mu was lost in thought, the voice of the Holy Tree Knight who was in charge of clearing the way in front interrupted his thoughts.

Shen Mu raised his head, and in his sight, the outline of a huge earthen mound appeared in the darkness.

And it is right at the foot of the Duntai Mountain on the Tudun Terrace.

There was also a special sense of purity faintly emanating from it, as if it were a deep moonlit night. There was no absolute darkness, nor any gray mist.

It was as if a translucent cover was covering the place, blocking out the darkness and gray mist.

It gave Shen Mu a sense of intimacy. (End of this chapter)
