Chapter 61: Visit to the Village
After arriving on the plains, Shen Mu finally experienced the power of heavy cavalry.
It is also the Swadian heavy cavalry, including men and horses, and all the equipment is fully equipped, which is comparable to the top cavalry of other war groups and the five countries.
In just a hundred meters, whether you encounter skeletons, zombies, or even ghouls.
They were crushed all the way.
Even the protection of these new farmers, robbers, and hired crossbowmen was quite professional.
He just rode his horse back and forth to charge on both sides of the queue two or three times, and killed those undead monsters that dared to approach on the spot with lances or half-handed swords!
Soon, the 100 new immigrant farmers and the 30 robbers moved inside the city walls.
And at the gate of the city wall.
Ten Swadian heavy cavalry galloped past Shen Mu and Bandak at the door, and also returned to the village where there was no gray fog.
"Thank you for your welcome, Lord Shen Mu." Bandak bowed his head respectfully at this time.
Shen Mu responded with a chuckle: "It's a trivial matter."
This is indeed a trivial matter.
At this time, Bandak got rid of the darkness and gray fog, and at the same time looked at a few steps away, which seemed to be able to sink everything in the darkness, flowing slowly, like countless tentacles entwining each other and superimposing. The gray mist in his eyes was even more horrifying.
“Is this the different world that Master Shen Mu worked so hard to defend?” Bandak said to himself.
‘Crack, click, click’
But before Bandak could come back to his senses, some weird noises appeared from the gray fog outside.
And it was in the eyes of Bandak who subconsciously looked up.
A man wearing rotten armor and an equally rotten helmet. The eyes of his pale and gray skull were flashing with blue soul fire. There was no flesh and blood on his body, just a skeleton like a skeleton. , actually staggered over.
And in the surrounding gray fog, there were seven or eight skeletons scattered here and there.
It seems that they have been discovered.
Then he raised his hand, the rotten or broken long sword or scimitar, like a baby, staggering towards this direction to kill!
"Be alert!" Bandak took out the heavy crossbow hanging on his back with his backhand.
And he bent down and used a small winch to wind up the wind quickly with a solemn expression.
The heavy crossbow is very powerful.
The closer the distance, the higher the lethality and the better the armor-breaking effect.
The only drawback.
The winding speed is very slow.
After adding a small winch, you can use the winch to wind up.
But it still takes about 20 seconds to cock and complete a shot. This is a speed that can only be achieved by a crossbowman who is extremely skilled in the use of heavy crossbows.
If it is given to a novice, it will be considered good if it can be wound up within half a minute!
"It's okay, Bandak." Shen Mu looked calm beside him, pointed behind him and nodded forward.
Not even an order was given.
“Up!”
The 10 senior thugs of the Lake Rat Gang who were guarding here with torches took out their woodland axes, ran over quickly, and in two or three clicks, they were directly Those skeletons that dared to appear within the city walls were chopped into a pile of useless bones on the spot.
The movements are capable and quite neat. After completing the goal, he quickly steps backwards.
Bandak, who had just strung the crossbow, was stunned.
"These are members of the Lake Rat Gang from the other side of the mountain. They are lightly armed throwing infantry and are good at throwing javelins. They are a very good group of young men."
Shen Mu explained to Bandak.
He knew that it was the first time for this benevolent tribune from the world of mounted and slashed warriors to see these small family arms from the world of mounted and slashed overlords.
"It's really good." Bandak glanced blankly at these senior thugs from the Lake Rat Gang who were wearing leather jackets, holding woodland axes, and two bags of harpoons on their backs, and he was keenly aware of the strength of these soldiers.
At this time, Shen Mu couldn't help but murmur to himself: "Even if we compare with those Nords, we can't lose much."
In response, Shen Mu pursed his lips and smiled. , didn’t say much.
After all, these senior thugs from the Lake Rat Gang are indeed related to the Nords in a sense.
However, the world of Mounted Blade Overlord is about the first five hundred years of the timeline of the Mounted Blade World.
Although Mount and Cut Overlord is a later game.
But.
On the timeline, it adds the division of the empire and the rise of various ethnic tribes.
It eventually evolved into the world view and background story of the cavalry and slashing group in the west of the kingdom. Including the invasion of the Nords and the establishment of the Nord Kingdom.
"These members of the Lake Rat Gang are here to stay, so you can rest assured." Shen Mu turned around at this time and looked at the huge 10-meter-high city wall made of reinforced concrete floors, with a smile on his face: < br>
"Come on, Bandak, in order to welcome you to join us, before the banquet begins, come and visit my village."
Shen Mu said this.
"Thank you for your hospitality. I am also very willing to visit your village." Bandak nodded solemnly.
Then he followed Shen Mu and started walking towards the city wall.
However, even this 10-meter-high and 5-meter-thick city wall, which looks like a gravity dam, has already made Bandak's mind extremely trembled, and his face was extremely surprised.
A city wall of this scale, which seemed to be entirely made of stone, was really beyond his expectation!
But at this time, Bandak also looked outside.
When he came in, Bandak was also keenly aware that there seemed to be a layer of wooden boards outside the gap.
And just under the wooden plank is a trench dug around the city wall!
In fact, he was very observant.
Outside the city wall, Shen Mu deliberately used the magic ball modifier and dug a 5-meter-deep trench.
If you were not afraid of digging deeper, it would cause a backlash from the undead monsters lurking in the underground garage that have been sealed underground.
That will definitely dig deeper!
“Come, let’s visit the village.”
In fact, while leading Bandak around, Shen Mu was also looking at his village carefully.
The small village named "Dehrim".
Behind Shen Mu and Bandak, the 10 Swadia heavy cavalry who dismounted followed wisely and acted as guards.
"I have seen you! Lord Shen Mu!"
"Hello! Lord Shen Mu! Salute to you!"
"Great Lord Shen Mu!"
To the west of Dehreem is the Lake Rat Gang training camp covering an area of about 500 square meters.
Facing the 5-meter-wide and 4-meter-high gap to the west.
Currently, 30 robbers and 25 Lake Rat Gang newcomers are living and resting in the training camp building.
Seeing Shen Mu coming over, they all saluted and said hello diligently and respectfully.
"Yes." Shen Mu nodded with satisfaction.
The newly carried ballista was placed at the main entrance of the training camp.
The direction the ballista is aiming is the gap in the city wall.
That is, the city gate.
As long as there is any situation, these robbers and members of the Lake Rat Gang will control the ballista to attack first!
"In the future, a military camp can be built in the west."
Shen Mu thought the same way.
Then he continued to lead Bandak forward.
In the middle, there are 30 longhouses with a mixture of stone and wood in the typical Swadian Kingdom style.
The top has thatch and wooden boards, which are rainproof and heat-insulating. If you upgrade it to stone tiles, it will not only be strong but also fireproof.
At this time, there were already 300 Swadian farmers who had been brought in the village template inside and outside the longhouse.
Plus the 100 Swadian immigrants who have just arrived.
The space on this side of the house is completely packed.
Thanks to those Swadian farmers who took out the cloth from their rooms and built a lot of tents, which could barely accommodate the new immigrants and the extra villagers like themselves. environment.
After all, in the southern part of the village, there are 22 acres of wheat fields, 5 acres of cabbage fields, 5 acres of pumpkin fields, and various agricultural buildings, which have enough space to set up tents.
However, Shen Mu was also keenly aware that there seemed to be only 10 acres of wheat fields in this space to the south of the village.
More wheat fields and other fields seemed to have been moved outside due to insufficient area within the city wall.
“Let’s go take a look at the city wall.”
Thinking of this, Shen Mu was also worried about his wheat fields, the 5 acres of cabbage fields and the 5 acres of pumpkin fields.
So we passed through some granary storage rooms and livestock pens on the east side, as well as a small space specially set aside for future trade, and came to the inside of the city wall, to the specially set aside stairs, and climbed up the city wall .
However, there are already Swadian infantry, mercenary crossbowmen, and mercenary sentries on the city wall, consciously patrolling it.
