Chapter 57 The heroes who came to seek refuge
Shen Mu looked down carefully. There were various buildings neatly arranged within the village.
From civilian buildings to special buildings, as well as the 32 acres of fields specially distributed on the relatively flat land in the south of the village, which were expanded from the additional bonus of the village template.
But what worries Shen Mu even more is the hill-like protrusion of about 5 acres to the north of the village.
Hills formed by stacking reinforced concrete.
About 10 meters high.
There are cliffs on three sides.
Only to the south, facing the village, is a zigzag road about 10 meters wide.
Just above the road are the main castle building and the main house of the village elders, which cover an area of about half an acre.
“This way, it will be much safer.”
Shen Mu nodded with satisfaction.
What makes Shen Mu even more satisfied is that just outside the half-hectare village, a circle is also 10 meters high and 5 meters wide. It is completely made of reinforced concrete and is pinched out by the power of mysterious rules. The city wall is standing here.
Only on the west side, there is a gap like a pass, about 5 meters wide.
It can be regarded as a passage in and out on the surface.
【Ding! Your magic ball modification permission is about to expire, please be ready to return! 】
[Countdown: 00 hours, 00 minutes and 69 seconds. 】(The author refuses to admit the time error)
When the countdown ends.
A special falling feeling suddenly appeared in Shen Mu's heart, causing him to subconsciously close his eyes.
And wait to open your eyes again.
Shen Mu has returned to his empty castle hall, which is still crowded with wounded soldiers.
Sitting on his lord's bench.
"My lord."
A Swadian infantryman stood in front of him, his gray-black chain armor still stained with blood.
The report was reported in a heavy tone: "The casualties have been counted. Please allow me to report to you."
"Well, let's talk about it." Shen Mu nodded.
"In this battle, 13 of our Swadian infantrymen were killed, 24 were seriously injured, and 8 were slightly injured."
"Four senior thugs from the Lake Rat Gang were seriously injured and 6 were slightly injured."
“Seven new members of the Lake Rat Gang were seriously injured and 9 were slightly injured.”
“The trophies seized so far have not been fully counted, they are all rough iron weapons.”
"There are 477 enemy corpses counted. According to the reports of the Lake Rat Gang members who chased them before, about 20 enemies have escaped."
The Swadian infantryman reported seriously.
"Yes."
Shen Mu nodded: "I know."
This did not go beyond Shen Mu's expectations, especially since there were only 13 Swadi The death of a sub-infantryman.
It made Shen Mu feel a little pained but also secretly satisfied.
After all, in this bloody battle, it was all thanks to these Swadian infantrymen who were at the front. With the help of excellent weapons and equipment and strong physiques, they withstood the impact of those pig-headed men.
This gave Shen Mu's long-range soldiers behind him, whether they were crossbowmen or ballistae, as well as those members of the Lake Rat Gang who threw harpoons and harpoons, enough room to display.
Otherwise, it would be really difficult to win this battle.
"Lord Shen Mu, I have a suggestion. I want to explain the situation to you."
At this time, the Swadian infantryman suddenly spoke, with a hesitant tone, which was stained with blood. His face seemed to have something unspeakable to say.
"Say it." Shen Mu gestured for him to continue.
These are real people. All have their own character.
And after spending time together in the past few days, Shen Mu also knew that he absolutely could not treat these horse-cutting soldiers under his command as NPCs.
We must also learn to respect these heroic warriors who fight and fight for themselves.
【bite! A temporary system detected event has occurred! 】
[Temporary task release: choice. 】
[Mission introduction: These infantrymen from Swadia are worthy of their oath in the military camp and are willing to defend the glory of the Kingdom of Swadia with their lives. They fight bravely and proudly. Died in the battle. But their companions, these Swadians, all want to return to their hometown for burial even after death. Now, you have Swadian Infantry coming to you with this suggestion. ]
[Task conditions: You can choose to 'transport the bodies of these fallen Swadian infantry back to their hometown/bury them on site' for different treatment methods. 】
[Conditional reward ① Transport back home: You need to pay 100 dinars per person to transport the corpses of these Swadian infantry and their weapons and equipment back to their hometown. All existing troops will have +5 morale, and your legendary reputation in the Kingdom of Swadia will +1 point. 】
[Conditional reward ② Burial on site: You don’t need to pay, you just need to bury these corpses. And you will get the weapons and equipment of these Swadian infantry, because in the cruel other world, your soldiers will understand what you are doing and will not have negative emotions. 】
"Huh?" Shen Mu was stunned. This sudden temporary task really did not occur to him.
Quickly read the contents of the dialog box on the retina.
Shen Mu frowned.
“Are you talking about the way these corpses were disposed of?”
Obviously, the first way to deal with it is to spend 100 dinars per person to transport the bodies of the 13 fallen Swadia infantry, together with their weapons and equipment, back to the Kingdom of Swadia for burial.
The second option is much simpler, that is, find a place to bury these bodies nearby.
The former pays dinars and then gains morale and reputation.
The latter is to directly obtain a batch of weapons and equipment.
“……”
Shen Mu directly communicated with the system: "Choose the first treatment method! Transport the corpses of these Swadia infantry back to the Kingdom of Swadia!"
Does this still require a choice?
It is equivalent to 1,300 dinars, which directly obtains +5 points of morale and +1 point of the reputation of the Kingdom of Swadia.
Compared to the bare rewards of only 13 sets of equipment.
The difference between heaven and earth!
And just after Shen Mu made his choice, the dense dialog box appeared in front of him again.
【Ding! You chose to transport the corpses of Swadian infantry back home! Your kind deeds boost the morale of your soldiers! The reputation of your Kingdom of Swadia increases! 】
【Ding! Your Kingdom of Swadia’s legendary reputation has reached 5 points! In this kingdom, both the elderly and the young have heard of your name and your deeds! The nobles praise you, the common people admire you, and even the robbers living in the dark ravines become extremely enthusiastic when they hear your name! 】
【Congratulations! Because your legendary reputation in the Kingdom of Swadia has reached +5 points! A group of about 100 Swadian civilians mixed with your rewards ② a small wave of immigrants, came to join you! 】
【Congratulations! After hearing about your deeds, Bandak, a hero who is proficient in using crossbow weapons, led 20 mercenary crossbowmen and mixed your reward ③ light ballistae to join you! 】
【Congratulations! Because the robbers' lair was breached and they were desperate, about 30 robbers heard about you in Nalot and were willing to unite and join you! 】
And the content in these dialog boxes is actually combined with the rewards Shen Mu received before.
Extra gains generated!
Of course, this point appeared in a previous battle, and Shen Mu was not too unexpected.
But when he saw a column of rewards, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "Bandak?!"
This name...
is very familiar to him!
But at this moment, the originally dark castle hall became completely dark.
Shen Mu was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed drastically.
It’s dark!
And he, who had just come out of the magic ball's authority... hadn't ordered the bonfire to be lit yet!
