Real Mount and Blade Game

Shen Mu stayed here after the dinner.

Bandak also arranged for someone to prepare a very soft big bed and a quiet bedroom for Shen Mu, and also specially arranged for the Holy Tree Knight to stand guard at the door.

Of course, the Holy Tree Knights arranged here are his own bodyguards. The 20 Holy Tree Knights who came with Shen Mu, Bandak has also prepared rooms for them so that they can have enough rest.

After all, these Holy Tree Knights and Fatis need to have a good rest here, otherwise how can they have enough energy for the next day?
Nothing happened all night.

By the early morning of the next day, the chirping of birds outside had woken up the sleeping Shen Mu.

He sat up from the bed and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

At this time, the Holy Tree Knight who was standing guard outside the door and observing the situation in the room heard the sound of someone waking up, so he pushed the door open and came in, respectfully touching his chest and bowing his head, "Master Shen Mu, Master Bandak just came to inform me that breakfast has been prepared. If you wake up, he will notify you to go and eat. Do you need to eat now?"

"Well, okay, I'll be down later." Shen Mu nodded, sat up from the bed, and said, "If possible, I would like you to prepare some clean water for me to bathe."

"Understood. I'll arrange it right away." The Holy Tree Knight nodded respectfully, then backed away.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the Holy Tree Knight walked in with four attendants.

They all held wooden basins in their hands.

There was clear water in the wooden basin, and stacks of clean and tidy towels.

"Sir, here are four basins of clean water. You can use them to clean your body." The Holy Tree Knight spoke respectfully and directed the servants to place the basins on the ground. Then he asked Shen Mu, "Do you need the servants to help you wipe your body?"

"That's not necessary. You guys can leave. I can do it myself." Shen Muke was not used to having others look at his body. Although he liked his status as a superior very much, he was not used to being served by others, so he waved his hand to signal them to leave.

These attendants, who were obviously Swadian light infantry, also retreated respectfully with the Holy Tree Knight.

Of course, before leaving, the Holy Tree Knight still said, "If there is anything you need us to serve, Lord Shen Mu, please tell us. We will be waiting for your summons outside the door."

"Okay, got it." Shen Mu waved his hand and let them leave.

However, Shen Mu wiped his body very quickly.

Finally, he wiped his face with cool well water to wake himself up from his initial dazed state.

So he changed his clothes and put on his chain mail.

After everything was ready, he opened the door and came to the castle hall with the Holy Tree Knights and servants guarding the door.

In the castle hall, Bandak and Fatis had already been waiting there, and the two were chatting happily.

The two of them were originally friends and were both generals in the justice camp.

Not only did the two of them become familiar with each other during their travels in Calradia, but they also fought side by side many times. They also understood and agreed with each other's respective ideas and became friends.

Moreover, after coming to this Blue Star world eroded by the rules of the undead, the two of them fought side by side in Shen Mu's team for a long time.

Now that we met again after being apart for a while, we started chatting happily.

Of course, when they saw Shen Mu coming, the two of them immediately came to greet him.

He touched his chest and bowed his head respectfully, "Hello, dear Lord Shen Mu."

"Well, no need to be polite." Shen Mu raised his hand, motioning them both to straighten up, and felt his stomach growling with food. He sniffed lightly and smelled the fragrance in the castle hall. He couldn't help but smiled and said, "I'm very hungry now. What are you going to eat in the morning? Mr. Bandak, if possible, let's eat quickly."

"The food this morning is very rich. Respected Lord Shen Mu, please go and sit down at the table." Bandak had a modest smile on his face at this time, and nodded to Fatis beside him: "Please wait a moment, I will arrange for the chefs to bring up the food they prepared."

Bandak waved to the servants beside him and took the initiative to invite the three of them to sit down in the restaurant.

Soon, the servants from the kitchen brought the food that he had personally prepared this morning.

He placed the trays in front of Shen Mu, Fatis and Bandak one by one.

"Oh, that's really good."

Shen Mu looked down at the wooden bowl on the tray, which contained thick, freshly cooked wheat porridge.

On the wooden plate next to it were toasted white bread slices, dried meat and sausage that were still sizzling with oil from being heated, and half a slice of smoked fish.

And the boiled cabbage in the wooden bowl next to it.

The dishes are relatively simple.

Just the usual veggies and meat.

But the method is quite careful and you can tell from the look that it is fried at the right time and cooked just right, including the sticky fresh wheat porridge, which exudes the fragrance of wheat.

To ensure the food's taste, there was even an extra pinch of salt and a small spoonful of spices in a small wooden plate next to it.

Use it with freshly grilled dried meats and sausages, as well as smoked fish.

"Mr. Bandak is so thoughtful." Fatis nodded when he saw the dishes that were prepared so carefully.

He had tasted the delicious food cooked by the halflings in Dhrim, and his taste buds had become picky.

Although ordinary marching food can be swallowed, that kind of food is only used to fill the stomach.

Fatis was also a knight from a high-ranking noble family.

I have been living a life of luxury since childhood.

I have eaten a lot of delicious food, and there was no shortage of meat. Now, salt and spices can be enjoyed at every meal.

The breakfast that Bandak had someone serve reminded him of the sumptuous food he had eaten every day when he was in a noble family. It was enough to prove that Bandak had indeed prepared their breakfast with great care.

"As long as Lord Shen Mu and Knight Fatis can eat well, I will be very happy." Bandak still lowered his head modestly.

After all, it is absolute loyalty, and here it is absolute loyalty.

For Bandak, being praised by Shen Mu was even more satisfying and heart-stirring than any military achievement he had made.

So they began to eat heartily. After Shen Mu drank half a bowl of porridge and ate two slices of bread, he ate the whole fried smoked fish.

He finally relieved the hunger in his stomach.

At the same time, he turned to Bandak beside him and said, "In this case, I will have all the troops come here today, and you will arrange their stationing issues from now on."

"I understand. Please rest assured, Lord Shen Mu, I will take this matter very seriously." Bandak immediately put down the piece of bread in his hand, stood up very seriously, and answered Shen Mu with his head down.

"Well, sit down. Don't be so polite." Shen Mu stretched out his hand and motioned Bandak to sit down.

After Bandak sat down, Shen Mu looked at Fatis next to him and reminded him again: "Bandak will be responsible for the infantry and garrison issues, and you, Knight Fatis, will be in charge of commanding the cavalry to fight. Be prepared to command."

"Understood." Fatis also stood up and lowered his head, pounded his chest with his hand, and answered seriously.

"Well, you sit down too." Shen Mu also stretched out his hand to signal Fatis to sit down.

With so many different looks for the two of them, he actually understood why they were like that.

After all, etiquette represents order and hierarchy.

It is also a symbol of loyalty.

If you think about it, even in modern times or in this blue star world, etiquette represents a certain respect, not to mention the continent of Calradia in the medieval background of the feudal era.

Violation of etiquette will represent a wavering of loyalty.

Of course, the reason why Shen Mu doesn't care about these is because he himself represents the Mount and Blade system, and even the extended Mount and Blade rules and these Mount and Blade units are just accessories.

This is the reason why he has the confidence to master the Mount and Blade system, and why he doesn't need to care about the etiquette that those outsiders must respect.

"In that case, I will return to Dhrim this morning and gather the troops to start the march to New Uxhall."

Shen Mu made arrangements: "And I will also meet with Zhang Bo this morning. In this way, he can decide who will be the negotiating representative to the Green Leaf Group. As for the rest, we will arrange for the Kugit people to be his guards and go with him. By the way, they can be used to pass on information and explore the weak points of the defense of the Wood Elf Village in the Green Leaf Group, so as to facilitate our attack."

"This is very good." Bandak and Fatis nodded in praise.

So the breakfast was finished quickly.

During the meal, the three of them also made some detailed and careful arrangements for the next plan.

Some additions have also been made to the details.

And Fatis also proposed to let Resarit and Bestur be the commanders of the first line.

"Why is there such a suggestion?" Shen Mu was a little confused.

"Master Shen Mu, I have to say that Resarit and Bestur are very good at sneak attacks and surprise attacks." Fatis said honestly: "I will provide support from behind, and it will be more helpful for the plan to let Resarit and Bestur take the lead in the main attack."

While speaking, Fatis also looked at Bandak next to him: "Of course, Mr. Bandak also needs to act as a commander to let the infantry attack."

Fatis was in charge of the overall situation, and the main attack was carried out by Resarit and Bestur.

Bandak commanded the infantry.

This seems more scientific and reasonable.

"Very good, that's it." Shen Mu agreed to Fatis's request. This suggestion was indeed good.

After giving a few more instructions, he led the 20 Holy Tree Knights out of New Uxhal and quickly returned to Dehrim.

After all, he still needed to arrange for Zhang Bo to form a negotiation team to go to Green Leaf Group.

No matter what, Zhang Bo must be appeased, especially not to allow Zhang Bo to have any suspicion, otherwise the next surprise attack will not be successful.

Shen Mu is very afraid of changes.

Especially knowing that there must be the deepest background in the Green Leaf Group, if his attack encounters those backgrounds, it will cause his soldiers to be injured or suffer heavy casualties.

Then Shen Mu would be very unacceptable.

Then returned to Dhrim.

"Open the city gate and let Lord Shen Mu in." The Lake Rat Gang vandals on the city gate had already spotted Shen Mu riding his horse and the 20 Holy Tree Knights from afar.

He quickly called on his companions around him to quickly raise the cost with a winch and open the city gate completely.

With the sound of horse hooves, Shen Mu rushed into the town area.

The speed of his warhorse slowed down only slightly, and he arrived at the noble residence in the town area.

"Go and notify Zhang Bo among the humans on Blue Star, and ask him to come over to report on the organization of negotiation personnel." Shen Mu immediately dismounted and handed the reins in his hand directly to the Swadian sergeant who came out to greet him at the door of the noble residence.

He immediately ordered, "Also, ask Zhang Caidong and Sun Zhiru to come over."

"Understood." Immediately, a Swadian light infantryman who served as a messenger responded loudly. Without any hesitation, he turned around and walked towards the town residences that the Blue Star humans used as offices.

Not a moment.

Zhang Bo, Zhang Caidong and Sun Zhiru have already arrived at the door of the noble residence and requested a report.

"Come in, Lord Shen Mu is waiting for you." The Swadian sergeant in charge of guarding the noble mansion looked at them coldly. After confirming that it was them, he waved his hand to signal his companions behind him to remove the heavy spears in their hands, and reminded them: "Be honest after entering, don't look around, and keep your awe, otherwise we will teach you a lesson without mercy."

They are all Mount and Blade humans, which are different from these Blue Star humans.

Therefore, they have no protection of the rules of Mount and Blade for these Blue Star humans, and they have no way of knowing whether they are absolutely loyal to Shen Mu, so they are still quite repulsive in their hearts.

"I understand, I understand. We all know it and understand the rules." Zhang Bo, Zhang Caidong and Sun Zhiru all nodded repeatedly.

But at this time, they were also quite uncertain. (End of this chapter)
