Chapter 67: The Appearance of the Skeleton Legion
And we do it as we say!
Waiting for noon, the kitchens in the castle and the kitchens in the village will all light up the fire to cook.
Thick wheat porridge mixed with cabbage and pumpkin, mixed with toasted sliced bread, was handed out.
After everyone in the village has had a full meal.
Shen Mu began to gather soldiers.
“The participating troops who entered the underground garage this time were composed of 32 Swadian sergeants, 30 mercenary crossbowmen, 25 senior thugs from the Lake Rat Gang, 30 Swadian militiamen, and 30 robbers. It consists of bandits and 200 villagers."
Shen Mu gave the order.
“Understood.”
Immediately, the saboteur from the Lake Rat Gang who was responsible for conveying the order saluted first, and then turned around to convey it.
Outside the castle, faint shouts appeared.
Those are the soldiers gathering.
"Bandak, please arrange for the remaining 20 mercenary crossbowmen, 10 senior Lake Rat Gang thugs, 10 Swadia militiamen, and 200 villagers to garrison the village."< br>
Shen Mu made arrangements again.
"Okay, Lord Shen Mu, I will make arrangements right away." Bandak, who had woken up and had lunch, had a solemn expression. After understanding, he turned around and made arrangements.
Of course, Bandak is also going to explore the underground garage this time and kill the undead monsters inside.
But their departure does not mean that there are no defensive forces in the village.
On the contrary, we need to arrange it carefully.
After all, it’s easy to just go out.
What if I come back and find that my hometown has been stolen.
That’s the great fun!
Neither Shen Mu nor Bandak would make such a low-level stupid mistake.
30 minutes passed quickly.
Bandak came back and replied: "Lord Shen Mu, the sentries and patrols stationed in the village have been arranged. At the same time, the city gate has been successfully built, including the torches needed to enter the underground garage for lighting, to determine the lighting. All the campfire materials are ready.”
Bandak himself is a careful person.
"Very good." Shen Mu nodded with satisfaction.
This is why, whether it is in the game of the Cavalry and Cutting Group, or in today's reality.
One of the reasons why Shen Mudu is extremely satisfied with Bandak.
"Then let's set off." Shen Mu gave the order.
"Yes." Bandak responded.
The two left the castle and came down from the zigzag slope stairs.
The soldiers have all lined up.
32 Swadian sergeants and 30 Swadian militiamen took the initiative to stand at the front as line infantry.
30 hired crossbowmen are in the rear.
Twenty-five senior Lake Rat Gang thugs and 30 robbers were distributed on both sides, responsible for protecting both sides of the line-carrying phalanx.
As for the last ones, there are the 200 villagers.
If you follow what the system says, as long as all these villagers are trained to become Swadia recruits, then they will all be automatically promoted to Swadia militia.
This versatile second-tier unit.
It really made Shen Mu very excited!
“Let’s go.”
Shen Mu did not ride a horse, but walked with the assembled troops towards the east gate.
As the city gate built with door panels was slowly opened by a dozen villagers.
They lined up in a long snake and arrived outside the city gate.
The external entrance and exit of the underground garage is located on the service road about 100 meters in front.
Vehicles arriving at the apartment can enter the underground garage as long as they turn to the service road in advance.
If you leave, you can also directly enter the side road and then turn onto the main road.
It’s very convenient.
According to previous regulations, there are security booths and security guards on duty at the entrances and exits of underground garages.
But because it is already three years after the undead rules came.
The former security booth is still there.
But the security guard has long since disappeared.
"Prepare the torches and let the Swadia sergeants and Swadia militia go down in advance to open up the battlefield."
Shen Mu made arrangements.
"Understood!" These Swadia sergeants immediately raised their nearly four-meter-long spears in their hands and rushed towards the 8-meter-wide double ramp garage entrance and exit.
Behind these Svadia sergeants, who were fully armed with their teeth, 30 soldiers were holding spears and wearing cotton armor. They seemed to be relatively poor, but in fact they could also cooperate with these sergeants to form a spear phalanx. The Swadia militia also followed without hesitation.
They are all melee line troops.
The training he received in the Kingdom of Swadia was also about trying to hold on to the battle situation.
Don’t let the enemy defeat you.
Then like the most stubborn chopping block, after gathering the enemies.
Waiting for the arrival of the Swadian cavalry troops like Daozu.
Then completely defeat the enemy!
Now.
Although the charge of the 10 Swadia heavy cavalry was indeed very powerful, after entering the underground garage, the complex environment did limit their combat effectiveness.
It would be better to bring these lightly-armed throwing infantry, senior thugs from the Lake Rat Gang, for better results!
“25 senior thugs from the Lake Rat Gang and 30 robbers are now entering the underground garage!”
Shen Mu spoke again.
Then, these famous members of the Lake Rat Gang, who have high attack and low defense, and have the characteristics of throwing javelins before charging, immediately moved forward, picked up the woodland ax and rushed down.
The robbers, who were either shirtless or wearing fur shirts, clutching butcher knives, also followed.
With a few shouts, he quickly disappeared into the entrance and exit of the underground garage.
“Now, it’s our turn.”
At this time, Shen Mu shook his shoulders slightly and nodded to Bandak next to him.
Then he waved to the 30 hired crossbowmen.
He walked towards the passage.
"All villagers! Stand where you are! Wait for my order!" Shen Mu finally gave his order to the 200 villagers.
"Understood!" The villagers responded immediately.
At this time, they all held up their own pitchforks and wooden sticks and stood in line at the entrance of the underground garage.
Everyone’s face was filled with nervousness and excitement.
No one is afraid.
Be able to make up your mind to come to this other world from the continent of Calradia and join the legendary big man Shen Mu.
This itself shows that these immigrants are mentally tough and ready to die.
Now being led by Shen Mu in person requires him to gain experience.
Then complete the promotion.
For these villagers, it is like a test to reach the peak of life.
If you succeed, then you will reach the pinnacle of life!
Failed.
Then accept death calmly.
Anyway, in the chaotic and endless war, the villagers were so devastated that they could hardly survive.
All the same.
Just now.
If they follow the legendary figure Shen Mu, they may have a better chance...
Reach the pinnacle of life!
Thinking of this, the eyes of these villagers from the Kingdom of Swadia became even more eager. They won't have to wait too long, either.
Because just inside the passage of the underground garage, the devastating battle had briefly ended.
The Swadia sergeants who were the first to rush down stood step by step, stabbing or slashing forward with the four-meter-long cone-headed spears in their hands. Several undead monsters wandering in the passage were directly stabbed. He died on the spot.
'call! ’
Behind them, the Swadian militiamen did not hang the old fan-shaped shields behind their backs on their left arms.
Instead, he held a torch in his left hand and a spear in his right hand, trying to stand behind the Swadia sergeants in front.
So that the light released by the torch in his hand can just shine on them!
It also dispelled the surrounding darkness and gray fog.
Illuminating the undead monster hidden inside!
Usually they are skeleton monsters that have been seen before, or zombies that look like bacon.
The fire of the soul shines in the eyes.
The lowest level undead monster that pounces on with hatred for all living creatures.
Of course, they are still no match for the spear phalanx formed by the combination of Swadia sergeants and militiamen!
Not to mention right behind the passage.
The senior thugs from the Lake Rat Gang led the robbers, also holding torches, and rushed down with a roar.
After walking through a rugged passage area that seemed to have broken due to downward pressure, but was still barely passable, they finally arrived at the underground garage.
It was shrouded in pitch black darkness, and the gray fog was as thick as a wall.
Only the light of the torch shines through.
Only part of it will dissipate.
The underground garage space appeared in front of them with great horror!
And in this darkness, many strange sounds began to appear slowly.
It was as if their intrusion had truly alarmed the countless terrifying beings that had been lurking silently in this underground garage!
“It’s true, it’s a bit chilling.” Shen Mu also came to the underground garage at this time.
It seems that even if there are twenty or thirty torches shining, they can't dispel much darkness and gray fog.
His face became slightly solemn.
Because Shen Mu noticed the chill that hit him instantly when he came to this underground garage.
Not just on the body.
It also affects the soul level!
Even the location of the fragment of natural will on Shen Mu's chest gave him a...
Thrilling!
“Something is indeed wrong here.”
Even Bandak subconsciously picked up the heavy crossbow in his hand and looked at the completely invisible darkness about ten meters away. He frowned completely.
But Bandak still had excellent tactical qualities and ordered in a deep voice: "Hire crossbowmen, all disperse!"
Then beside him, 30 hired crossbowmen immediately began to disperse to both sides.
They were all scattered behind the spear phalanx composed of Swadia sergeants and Swadia militia in front. They raised their crossbows and looked at the darkness and gray with piercing eyes. Beyond the mist-shrouded light, something seemed to be noticed.
Archers and crossbowmen often have the strongest sixth sense.
They are at this time.
I have also faintly noticed that the horrors hidden in this underground garage have awakened and are peeping at them!
But the one who was more sensitive to this was Shen Mu who had a dialog box in front of him.
【Ding! The temporary task system has detected an event! 】
[Task release: Clean up the underground garage]
[Mission introduction: You and your troops have arrived at the underground garage, a place shrouded in darkness and gray fog, with countless dead people hiding even during the day. The area of spirit monsters. 】
[Task requirements: Kill 90% of the undead monsters. 】
[Task reward: ① 5,000 dinars; ② Silver-level random draws x 5 times. 】
“If you clean the underground garage, you will be rewarded with 5,000 dinars and 5 silver-level random draws!?”
Shen Mu’s face was slightly stunned.
In the eyes that were still solemn at this time, there was a little more excitement like seeing something sweet.
This temporary mission comes at a good time!
Just looking at the underground garage in front of him, which was not much different from the night, also shrouded in darkness and gray fog, Shen Mu's face changed slightly and he issued an order loudly:
"Sergeant Swadia and the militia! Expand the spear phalanx! Stand still! Establish a defensive position!"
"The veteran thugs and robbers of the Lake Rat Gang!"
"Hire crossbowmen! Gram’s orders!”
Orders were issued one after another.
The troops brought by Shen Mu immediately began to operate skillfully according to the order.
This is the professionalism of veterans.
An order is given.
Then they know what to do!
‘Crack…Crack, click! ’
And behind these cavalry and slashing soldiers who were ready for battle.
In the darkness, more weird sounds began to appear.
More and more.
Getting closer.
It seems to be getting denser and denser!
Appearing outside the range of more than ten meters illuminated by the torch, the edge of darkness shrouded in gray mist!
Then the countless weird clicking sounds slowly stopped.
But there are more and more weird noises behind.
The entire underground garage is activated because of these clicking sounds.
There was also a vague sound, like a muffled cry or a sob and lament, also appeared in the depths of the darkness.
"They are coming!"
At this time, Bandak spoke quietly next to Shen Mu: "On the edge where darkness and the light of the torch meet!"
Bandak noticed it. This.
“Yeah.”
Shen Mu nodded and agreed with Bandak’s statement.
He reached out and took a simple torch from the hand of a senior thug from the Lake Rat Gang next to him.
Took a few steps forward and came behind the spear phalanx formed by the Swadia sergeants. Then he squeezed forward and came to the front of the phalanx.
Looking at the complete darkness in front of me.
Shen Mu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Then he reached out and threw the torch directly into the darkness in front of him!
'call! ’
The torch burned in mid-air, releasing its own light.
The surrounding darkness and gray fog began to fade and disappear in an instant, as if they had encountered a natural enemy.
At the same time.
Everyone is covered with skeletons, wearing tattered clothes or armor, holding tattered weapons, or simply skeletons with large leg bones or arm bones.
Right there!
Staring at a pair of pairs of faint blue soul fires without any emotion, swaying in the pale skull eye sockets.
It seemed as if he was irritated by the torch thrown over.
"Click, click, click!"
Then he raised the various weapons in his hands, staggered and staggered, and began to rush towards this side.
And in the darkness of the entire underground garage.
There are more and more sounds of clicking.
As if.
A legion composed of countless skeletons launched a general attack!
