Chapter 16 Successfully established a stronghold
“Yes, very good.” Shen Mu nodded calmly in response: “Everyone, sit down, you must be exhausted from the journey here.”
"Thank you for your concern." Everyone in the room sat down again.
Whether it was the 20 farmers from the Kingdom of Swadia or the 10 newcomers from the Lake Rat Gang from the Kingdom of Stygia, they were all leaning against the wall limply, mouthing loudly. He was panting heavily, still feeling frightened.
The battle just now was really too intense for them!
When they came to this world, a steady stream of undead monsters attacked them.
It is possible that only a few people were slightly injured. It was thanks to their familiarity with war, knowing how to fight, and how to organize and use formations to resist the enemy that they were able to survive until Shen Mu led the troops to come to the rescue.
“Lift the curtain over the wheat field and let these immigrants and the newcomers from the Lake Rat Gang rest there.”
At this time, Shen Mu also noticed the overcrowding in the room. .
Small room of 30 square meters.
Also get rid of clutter-filled spaces in the toilet and bed.
Then 45 people squeezed in.
It’s so crowded!
"Understood." A Swadian militiaman stood up to take command, opened the curtain, and took the new arrivals into the wheat field to rest.
At least the space in the room was somewhat loosened up.
There is no absolute darkness beyond the wheat fields.
There is no gray fog either.
Although it is also night, there will be no undead monsters coming.
So it’s pretty safe.
In addition, in the world of Overlord of Mount and Blade 2, which is the predecessor of the Kingdom of Vekia in the warband world, and the Kingdom of Sturgia, there are fishermen and pirates who come out of the swamp as professional lake rats. To help newcomers, these 10 guys who are second-level soldiers are half rest and half protection immigrants, so they are considered safe.
At least Shen Mu felt relieved about these newcomers to the Lake Rat Gang.
They are called newcomers.
A newcomer to the Lake Rat Gang family, a low-level soldier.
Equipped with a leather waistcoat, a leather hat, and a small-edged ax and kite-shaped shield. In close combat, they have the rugged and ferocious characteristics of the Stygians, later known as the Vekians.
What's more, on the back, between the leather jacket and the hook on the waist, there are two thin javelins with four darts each.
It is usually used for throwing out to fish when fishing.
But when fighting.
They can still throw it accurately and hit any enemy they want to hit within a range of 10 meters!
“After these new immigrants have settled down, it will be my own business.”
Shen Mu sat on the bed.
A dialog box appeared on the retina in front of my eyes.
【Ding! You win this battle! 】
[Because you and your men fought bravely, you received 1 ‘brass-level treasure chest’; 500 dinars. 】
【You have soldiers ‘Svadia Militia × 5’ who can be upgraded. 】
【You have civilians ‘Svadian Peasants × 20’ who can be upgraded. You can choose to upgrade it to a 'neutral camp/Svadia camp' unit. 】
The first thing that came to Shen Mu's eyes was the settlement of this battle.
It's all about rewards and troop upgrades.
These can be operated backwards.
“Next one.” Shen Mu’s thoughts moved slightly.
A new dialog box pops up.
【bite! It has been detected that the total number of you and your subordinates has reached 46, and the conditions for 30 people to form a "stronghold" have been met. 】
【Most of the personnel are ‘Svadia’, so you can choose to form a ‘Svadia Stronghold’. 】
【If you choose to form a "Svadia Stronghold", you will get the 'Svadia Characteristics (Brave People) (Elementary)': ①Soldiers have courage + when fighting around the stronghold 20%. 】
【Ding! It is detected that you can build "Svadia Stronghold", and your special item "Robber's Junction" is allowed to be built. 】
“Establish a Swadia stronghold.” Shen Mu made the decision immediately without hesitation.
This matter is also what he is most concerned about.
【You are sure to have established the "Svadia Stronghold". ]
[The building interface starts to load...]
[Svadia Stronghold]
[Lord]: Shen Mu
[Features]: Brave People (Elementary) (Soldiers have +20% courage when fighting near strongholds)
[Civilians]: 20 farmers
[Soldiers]: Swadia Light 10 infantrymen; 5 militiamen; 10 newcomers to the Sturgian Lake Rat Gang.
[Building]: 1 mu of wheat field.
[Buildings that can be built]: Stronghold main house (can be built immediately), storage room, granary, fence, livestock pen, robber joint (can be built immediately).
[Output]: Wheat (the output is extremely rare)
[Recruitment]: Unable to recruit (civilians need to maintain a minimum of 30 people)
"Is this Svadia's stronghold?" Shen In front of Mu's eyes, the dialog box refreshed immediately.
A complete information newsletter was quickly generated.
‘Buzz! ’
And in the process, some mysterious power began to spread around Shen Mu again with Shen Mu as the center.
He directly scanned the apartment room where Shen Mu was staying, and also scanned the 1-acre wheat field next to it, which covers an area of 20 apartments.
This mysterious force even swept through the entire seventh floor, including the six floors below and the other three apartments outside that were filled with darkness and gray fog. A transparent one.
Faintly, Shen Mu discovered that after he established the Swadia stronghold on the seventh floor.
The entire apartment complex is located near the stronghold.
As long as your soldiers are located in the entire apartment complex, they can enjoy the characteristics of the Swadia stronghold. When fighting, they can have a +20% courage increase effect!
Increasing courage is equivalent to increasing morale, and also increases combat effectiveness and defensive power because of bravery. Even if the enemy encountered is too strong, they will not be easily defeated.
Very nice feature.
“There are also buildings that can be built, and there are two buildings that can be built immediately.”
Shen Mu's eyes scanned the contents of the stronghold interface.
Looking at the only two buildings.
"The main house of the stronghold... and the meeting point for the robbers."
Shen Mu's thoughts suddenly moved slightly.
With the communication system.
‘Buzz! ’ Some mysterious power came again.
Only this time, Shen Mu's perspective changed directly to the third-person perspective, just like the perspective when he unfolded the wheat field.
It’s pretty familiar.
And in Shen Mu's mind, there was a card depicting a building made of stone and wood, similar to a square tower.
There is also a card with a picture of a wall and a crossed 'X' symbol on the wall.
Then quietly emerged.
The former is the main house of the stronghold.
The latter is where the robbers meet.
[Main House of the Stronghold (Swadia)]
[Introduction: This is a typical building of the Kingdom of Swadia, a strong square tower made of stone and wood. It is 6 meters high, covers an area of 50 square meters, and is divided into two floors. The upper floor can be lived in, the lower floor can gather subordinates and serve as a kitchen, and the top floor allows soldiers to be stationed for defense. 】
[Effect: The core building of a stronghold. 】
……
[Robbers’ Junction]
[Introduction: This is the street method used by a group of robbers from the Kingdom of Swadia. Just place it in the corner of any building and robbers who sense the mark will sneak up on you. 】
[Effect: Black market purchase or sale of stolen goods. 】
The secondary pages of these two buildings naturally appeared in front of Shen Mu.
"Then let's build it."
Shen Mu's thoughts moved slightly.
Then right in front of Shen Mu, a tall square tower with a height of 6 meters appeared in front of him as a phantom.
Just in time, it perfectly overlapped with the room and corridor at the edge of the apartment where Shen Mu was currently located.
And the top floor also breaks through the ceiling and reaches the terrace on the top floor of the apartment.
It directly forms a special connection to the roof of the apartment, and a small tower higher than the roof of the terrace!
【Do you want to expand the 'stronghold main house'? 】
A dialog box popped up in front of Shen Mu again.
"Confirm expansion!"
Shen Mu made a decision immediately.
And his eyes flickered. He looked at the main house and apartment floors that could be edited again under the help of the map editor, and he had some more thoughts in his mind.
For example, the main house, which is larger than the room, can be completely absorbed into the room and the corridor outside without destroying the load-bearing walls.
Facing the corridor, there are about 20 shooting openings on the wall of the main house according to the floor.
Used for the next shooter to enter the camp.
Moreover, in the distance from the corridor to the elevator room, the top floor of the apartment is completely removed in the direction of the corridor.
In other words, if there are any enemies, they only need to turn around the elevator and come to the corridor.
Then within this 30 meter range.
You need to directly enter the unfolded building, which is 6 meters high. There are shooting ports on both the upper and lower floors. There are also concave and convex crenels on the top floor. It is called the main building of the stronghold, but it is actually a square tower. Attack range!
The corridor is only 1.5 meters wide.
For the long-range shooters of the Kingdom of Swadia, they are all soldiers who use crossbow weapons.
Simply the best terrain environment!
"Yes, that's it."
The corners of Shen Mu's mouth curled up slightly.
The data flow in his eyebrows was surging rapidly.
The building is unfolding.
The apartment rooms also changed with his thoughts.
When he opened his eyes, he found that he was sitting at the head of the long table in the main room.
In front of you is a long dining table made of simple solid wood.
And in the fireplace next to the wall.
‘Crackling. ’
The bonfire was burning vigorously, and a lot of wood and silk fabrics were piled there, waiting to be filled.
Smoke also comes out from the fireplace chimney.
There is not much smoke in the room.
Sitting on the solid wood long-backed chair, Shen Mu's eyes were stunned, and then he smiled: "This is really... perfect!"
