Chapter 45 News of the enemy’s attack
The Xiaolong River is not far from the apartment.
The distance is only two blocks, and the usual walk only takes about 20 minutes.
When my predecessor was still working alone, I would often come here to fetch water, or in my free time or when I was in a bad mood, I would come to the Xiaolong River to watch the water splash.
"This scenery is indeed beautiful." So Shen Mu rode on the white horse standard issued by the Holy Tree Cavalry, holding the reins, standing on the riverbank embankment, looking at the river, which was about 50 meters wide. The calm river flowing slowly makes me feel emotional.
There is a platform specially prepared for fishermen just under the river embankment, which can also be regarded as a viewing platform along the river.
Just enough to fetch water.
30 Swadia recruits had already lined up and walked down. With the sound of splashing water, buckets of river water were poured into the container, and it was soon filled to the top. .
However, the river water is still a little yellowish and turbid in plastic buckets and cannot be drank directly.
This is related to the fact that there are a lot of dirty things inside.
Likewise.
It also has an extremely important relationship with the fact that after the undead rule came, everything in the Blue Star world was polluted, including the river water.
Ordinary Blue Star people will suffer from vomiting and diarrhea after drinking it. Long-term drinking will cause various diseases, leading to a rapid decline in physical fitness, and even various negative effects leading to death.
The only way to solve this problem is to boil the water with firewood after returning home.
Only water that has been boiled by flames can be consumed normally again.
"However, as long as you become a follower of the spiritual world creatures, or become a professional, you can effectively improve your resistance to the rules of the undead. There is no problem in drinking the fresh water contaminated by the rules of the undead."< br>
Shen Mu also thought of some information he heard when his predecessor was still a Lone Ranger.
Subconsciously, he turned his head and looked to the side.
10 silent Swadian heavy cavalry, wearing flat-top helmets, wearing heavy chain armor, and even their men and horses in human and horse attire, were waiting for them with their lances raised in the sky. Beside him, he looked majestic.
This immediately brought a smile to Shen Mu's lips: "Sir, times have changed!" He liked this joke.
Just at this moment, a dialog box suddenly flashed on the retina in front of Shen Mu's eyes.
【Ding! The temporary task system has detected an event! 】
【Mission Release: Enemy's Outpost. 】
[Mission introduction: Your castle is built on the floor of the apartment, but this also attracts the attention of bad guys with malicious intentions. Now, he has sent his troops over to attack your territory. The enemy's outposts, in order to grab the credit, can't wait to rush to you first. 】
[Mission requirements: Defeat the enemy's outpost. 】
[Mission rewards: ① Swadia reputation +1 point; ② Immigration wave (small group) × 1 wave; ③ Light ballista × 1. 】
It turned out to be another temporary mission from the riding and slashing system.
"Enemy, outpost."
Shen Mu frowned slightly, scanned the two key words on the dialog box, and his face became slightly gloomy:
"I will You know, I was still in the magic ball modifier and didn't come out, so I didn't notice the invasion of the jackals and wild goblin bandits in time. When I waited, I just defeated them but didn't annihilate them all. It was like letting the tiger go back to the mountain, leaving behind troubles. "
It seems that now, he is bringing people back to take revenge.
And.
It is indeed the style of Diesel Company.
Only the notorious diesel company that regards most of Balihe Street as its sphere of influence is qualified to form an army. The residual memories left by Shen Mu's previous life are very clear.
In Balihe Street, except for the once-preserved wetland forest park at the junction of the city and suburbs, there is a lord named Greenleaf Group. With its complex environment, it can easily compete with the diesel company.
No force can stand in front of the diesel company!
Furthermore, because of the lessons learned from Luye Group, starting from a year ago, as long as there are any signs of the spiritual world appearing in Balihe Street, the diesel company will send people to snatch them frantically.
This is also the reason why the current situation of the Lone Ranger in Balihe Street is extremely poor, and the strength is not enough to compete with the diesel company.
"In that case." Shen Mu turned to look at the Swadia recruits who had all finished collecting water, helping each other and carrying the water containers back to the river embankment, then shook the reins and ordered : "Go back and prepare for battle."
"Yes." The Swadia heavy cavalry responded, shaking their reins and following Shen Mu's figure.
All return to the castle inside the apartment.
Shen Mu also noticed that the zigzag stairs not only hindered the enemy's attack time, but also reduced the attack capabilities of his Swadia troops.
Seeing that they were about to return to the central corridor on the fifth floor, these Swadia heavy cavalry actually had to dismount and lead their horses to walk slowly.
This awkward look made Shen Mu's face look a little ugly.
But there is no way.
Currently, Shen Mu is still at an absolute disadvantage in terms of the number of personnel and strength he has.
If we give up such a complex defensive environment, once we encounter a larger number of enemies attacking, we will probably be overwhelmed by ants and kill the elephant.
Besides, Shen Mu thinks that he is not an elephant yet, not even a baby elephant.
“We still have to develop.” Shen Mu sighed.
In the short time since Shen Mu came back.
Because the news that the enemy was about to attack was conveyed, all the cavalry and slashing soldiers took action.
In the 10-meter corridor in front of the castle hall, 45 Swadian infantrymen have lined up. They all raised their spears, either horizontally or diagonally. The densely packed spear heads suddenly formed a They formed a phalanx of spears and stood ready.
In the castle, except for 10 Swadia recruits who came to the main house of the stronghold to guard the spiral staircase of the tower.
The remaining 20 Swadia recruits are also gathered in the castle hall. They are a reserve team if something unexpected happens, and they will work hard to fill the gaps in the battle formation.
But when that time comes, it will definitely be the time when the 10 senior Lake Rat Gang thugs and the 25 Lake Rat Gang newcomers all have problems and are forced to have no choice.
The total number of members of the Lake Rat Gang came to 35. At this time, they were all checking the javelins on their backs.
The senior thugs of the Lake Rat Gang are equipped with 10 harpoons.
The newcomers of the Lake Rat Gang are equipped with 8 fishdarts.
The members of the Lake Rat Gang who are good at throwing javelins before charging, destroying all the enemy's shields and armors, and even their formations were destroyed by the javelins, rushed in to fight with woodland axes and small-edged axes. In terms of attack efficiency, it far exceeds that of the Swadian infantry, a line-carrying unit!
What's more, on the towers and balconies of the castle, while the crossbows were ready, 10 mercenary crossbowmen led 20 mercenary sentries and had occupied various favorable shooting positions.
Whether it is a war crossbow or a light crossbow, the crossbow string has been pulled open and the crossbow bolt is stuck in the shooting slot.
Aim the arrows at the entrance of the central corridor, in the direction of the fire door!
"However, this time, I will not let those guys escape easily." Shen Mu turned his head and looked at Si Si, who was already riding a war horse and lined up in two rows in the castle hall. The Wadia heavy cavalryman smiled.
It is his dream to fight heavy cavalry from the corridor!
