Real Mount and Blade Game

"I understand this, Lord Shen Mu, but my suggestion is that we should send out troops to try to clean up those undead monsters."

Fatis said: "Let's do some verification. If we can clear more undead monsters, can we have a certain impact on the undead rules in this area, weaken them a little, and make it easier for Dehrim to develop?"

"Clearing the undead monsters? That's fine." Shen Mu touched his chin and nodded thoughtfully: "Clearing the undead monsters can bring combat experience to our straw soldiers, which is good. And after it's over, those centurions appointed by the humans on Blue Star should also be ready to work."

Fatis's suggestion coincided with his previous appointment of centurions, and they could be cleverly combined together.

But thinking about the dead middle-level managers, Shen Mu also shook his head with regret: "If I had known earlier, I would have made arrangements in advance to prevent those middle-level managers from dying. Now think about it, after these middle-level managers died, not only did we lose so many Blue Star humans, but we also lost the dinars and faith power that we invested in the early stage. It is really a pity."

"But there is nothing we can do about it. If those middle-level managers don't die, then your plan, Lord Shen Mu, won't be completed as usual." Fatis certainly understood the reason, so he just smiled and comforted Shen Mu: "Everything is worth it."

Anyway, Shen Mu is not a human from the Blue Star world, and he has no feelings for the Blue Star humans in this world. If they die, they die, and he doesn't care at all.

Moreover, in the fascists' view, these are the internal fights of the Blue Star humans and have nothing to do with them, the Mount and Blade humans. Even if he has compassion in his heart, when he thinks about the serious power struggles among the Blue Star humans in the interior, he understands that he should not put his compassion on these Blue Star humans.

After all, everything is for the Mount & Blade world and for the Mount & Blade human race. Fatis's compassion is not so extensive that he feels compassion for everyone.

"Someone come here." Seeing that it was already noon, Fatis turned his head and looked at the Holy Tree Knight next to him, saying to him, "Notify the kitchen team and ask them to start preparing lunch. Now Lord Shen Mu will prepare a richer meal in our temporary camp."

"I understand." The Holy Tree Knight nodded, turned around and left the tent without any hesitation, and went to inform the kitchen staff to start cooking.

It didn't take long for the chefs in the kitchen to prepare the food for today's lunch and brought it to the tent.

"Respected Lord Shen Mu, respected Knight Fatis, the food for lunch today is toast, grilled air-dried meat, grilled sausage and grilled smoked fish, plus a bowl of oatmeal porridge and a bowl of boiled vegetables for each person." The Holy Tree Rider, who was the chef, respectfully placed the wooden tray in front of Shen Mu and Fatis.

As the steaming aroma began to spread, Shen Mu nodded with satisfaction: "Well, very good."

These are all standardized foods, which are some of the foods prepared by the Kingdom of Swadia during field marches.

Whether it is bread, dried meat, sausage, smoked fish, wheat or cabbage, they are all foods that can be stored for a long time.

As long as there is water, you can quickly prepare a qualified meal at any time.

Whether it is carbohydrates, fats, proteins, salt or vegetable fiber, everything is available.

Of course, as the supreme lords and the knight Fatis, they also had an extra pot of honey beer as a drink to go with their meal.

"How are the other soldiers eating?" Although the food was right in front of him, Shen Mu did not eat it with relish. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Fatis: "How is their food arrangement?"

"Don't worry, respected Lord Shen Mu, because tonight is the time for us to launch the attack, so the food I arranged for you to eat today is the highest ration, and it is quite rich."

Fatis replied, "Except for the lack of such a large amount of food and this pot of honey beer, our soldiers can eat bread and air-dried meat, sausages and smoked fish, as well as wheat and boiled vegetables such as cabbage, pumpkin and onion."

"Very good." Shen Mu nodded with relief, then called Fatis to start eating together.

The taste of the food is pretty good.

The bread slices are brown bread, but compared to the inferior brown bread at the beginning, the current brown bread is whole wheat bread, and is mixed with some nuts and bean powder, so it has a special aroma after baking.

Of course, this special aroma will taste strange when it cools down, but it still has a nutty aroma when eaten hot.

It feels slightly sour when it enters the mouth, and the taste is a bit rough, but it is still tolerable with the help of vegetable soup.

"Master Shen Mu, we should have prepared white bread for you this time. We didn't expect you to have dinner with us, so we neglected it." But when Fatis saw that Shen Mu was holding black bread, he bowed his head and apologized: "We should have prepared some white bread."

"Fatis, don't treat me as a court noble who can't eat without white bread. Such words are a bit disappointing to me."

Shen Mu was still eating the black bread in his hand. Seeing Fatis bowing his head to apologize, he couldn't help but smiled and waved his hand and said, "The storage time of white bread is too short. It is not as long as the storage time of black bread. Although I like to eat white bread in Dehrim, there should be a war in times of war. It doesn't matter whether white bread is eaten or not. Can't black bread fill the stomach?"

Shen Mu did not continue this topic, but instead talked about a lighter topic.

It made the lunch quite relaxing and enjoyable.

However, Shen Mu's ease and happiness did not mean that Green Leaf Group was also relaxed and happy, because those negotiation experts had already conducted the first round of discussions with Green Leaf Group.

Although they have reached a preliminary agreement to make Green Leaf Group submit to Dehrim.

However, the two sides were entangled in endless arguments over the finer details, especially how many troops to retain, how many supplies to send, how much material to provide each week, and even what kind of sacrifices the Green Leaf Group should make at critical moments, etc. There were many clauses.

After all, negotiations are negotiations. Now that they are here, Green Leaf Group and Dehrim need to reach an agreement.

In order to reach an agreement with Dehrim, the Green Leaf Group also proposed some conditions of its own, such as how much supplies Dehrim needed to provide them in the early stage, how much spiritual power he needed to provide to help rebuild the wood elf village, and how to contact the wood elf plane again in exchange for some precious supplies of the wood elves. These all needed to be discussed.

Then the negotiations lasted the entire afternoon, over some details. The two sides didn't even have lunch yet, they were just arguing and trying to reach a little consensus on their ideas.

Finally, around two o'clock in the afternoon, both parties' stomachs began to growl, and it was obvious that both parties were very hungry.

Yang Di also saw the fatigue on both sides' faces, so he took the initiative to smile. He put down his notebook, which was already full of notes, and said to Zhang Bo in front of him: "We have reached some consensus, which is very good. We also believe that Dehrim is indeed sincere in negotiating. Now if possible, I think we can have lunch together, eat something first, and then communicate."

"Of course, it's already very good now. Since everyone is hungry, we should eat something." Zhang Bo also nodded and agreed with his suggestion.

Soon new food was served.

These are all foods from the wood elf village. Most of them are cakes and desserts made from fruits. They look quite delicate and are rich in oil and sugar. They can indeed replenish physical strength quickly.

There are also fresh fruits such as apples, pears, peaches, apricots and so on.

Zhang Bo, Sun Zhiru and the negotiation experts, who seldom got to eat fruit, were particularly surprised by the fresh fruits and spoke highly of the snacks.

These fresh fruits and snacks contain foods that are in accordance with the rules of the spiritual world, so they can enhance their bodies after eating them.

And it’s quite delicious.

"These are snacks made by our wood elves, and these fruits are also some of the fruits we planted ourselves. If Lord Shen Mu likes them, he will be able to enjoy these snacks and fresh fruits in the future." Zhang Song saw the satisfied expressions on the faces of Zhang Bo and these negotiation experts, smiled slightly, and boasted: "And our wood elf village also has an orchard that can produce a lot of fresh fruits. I think you should not have eaten so many fresh fruits before."

"That's true. We haven't eaten so much fruit before." Sun Zhiru answered truthfully, including the negotiation experts behind him.

Just when Zhang Song, Yang Di and the Green Leaf Group's management ministers smiled, Sun Zhiru extended his shoulder and continued, "But in Dehrim, we can eat bread, air-dried meat, sausage, smoked fish, and fresh vegetables such as pumpkin, cabbage, onion, celery, and of course, there are extra rations of fresh apples."

"That's right. If we get some credit, we can even have cheese, honey, beer, and dates." The other negotiator shrugged and spoke again.

"Of course, these are all foods that conform to the rules of the spiritual world. They are foods grown in Dehrim." Another negotiation expert smiled and added, "And I like the sticky wheat porridge in Dehrim the most. Fresh wheat kernels are shelled and cooked in a big pot until they become sticky. It then emits a refreshing smell of fresh wheat. If you add some honey, it will become sweet wheat porridge. And if you add chopped dates and pumpkin, it will become the best food for us to replenish our physical strength at night."

"Yes, every time when we want to eat something more at night, this sweet and sticky wheat porridge is our favorite food." Other negotiation experts also responded.

Moreover, after hearing these words, the smiles on the faces of Yang Di, Zhang Song and other management directors of the Green Leaf Group all disappeared.

This was clearly a response to their boasting that Green Leaf Group could produce a lot of fresh fruits and delicious snacks.

And it has the upper hand in a subtle way.

After all, although the wood elf village owned by the Green Leaf Group can grow some wheat, the output is really low. Moreover, the wood elves still need to eat meat like livestock, but because the wood elves do not have enough food to feed livestock, there is very little meat food.

Now these guys in Dehrim are actually showing off that they can not only eat enough staple food, but also have enough side dishes, including meat, vegetables, fruits and snacks in the evening.

Isn't this a response to them or something?

Moreover, both Yang Di and Zhang Song understood at this time that their Green Leaf Group really had no way to compete with these guys in front of them.

The opponent's food production has exceeded that of the wood elf village.

This means that the strength of both sides is increasing while that of the other is decreasing.

Even if both sides made progress together, Dehrim could increase by 80 points each time, while they could only increase by 30 points at most. Such a comparison and such a result made them feel a little desperate just thinking about it.

However, Yang Di still looked at Zhang Bo, who was eating in front of him, as if he had no idea about this kind of language interaction.

And Zhang Song also saw the look Yang Di gave Zhang Bo.

So he picked up the cup in his hand and said to the wood elf beside him: "Let's have some more juice and fill up our friends' cups. Then we will raise our glasses together to celebrate, to pay tribute to Lord Shen Mu and to celebrate peace. What do you think?"

"Of course, there is no problem." Zhang Bo smiled at this time, raised his cup, and asked the wood elf next to him to pour juice into their cups.

Everyone raised their glasses together, which was a true tribute to each other.

But in fact, this was not an ordinary toast.

This is a hint.

Only Zhang Bo, Zhang Song and Yang Di could understand it. (End of this chapter)
