Chapter 79 Suppression of the Undead Rules
The dark tide has finally arrived!
Just as tonight entered the dark night, the rules of the dead appeared on the blue star.
The tacit understanding between the Necromancer Rules and the Blue Star Rules that originally existed and was almost balanced, with the Necromancer Rules ruling the night and the Blue Star Rules maintaining the day, was broken in an instant.
So much so that it has just entered the dark night, as long as it is everyone in Blue Star.
All from the bottom of my heart, there was a tremor!
It is a tremor at the soul level.
Also...
From the rules of the dead, the rejection of light and heat brings a coldness that has both physical and soul effects!
Even in the village of "Dehrim", which is protected by the rules of riding and slashing, as long as people are still standing here, they all feel this sudden and unexpected feeling. Cool down the same cold.
This can even be regarded as a symbol of the toughness and completeness of the horse-and-blade rules, supported by countless horse-and-blade worlds behind them...
It is also a symbol of being temporarily at a disadvantage due to the sudden increase in the necromancy rules!
To be precise.
Not just the rules for riding and cutting.
There are also spirit world rules and blue star rules, all of which have been completely suppressed by the undead rules that have entered the black tide stage!
But Shen Mu was not helpless.
"Light the fireplace!" Shen Mu waved his hand directly and ordered the Swadia militiamen who had arrived in the castle hall to serve as service personnel.
"Understood." These Swadia militiamen immediately took action.
From the pile of materials prepared in advance, I brought burning firewood, clothes, and various heavy books, and stuffed them into the fireplace.
Then pour gasoline on it, click it with a lighter, and it will burst into flames.
Along with the burning fireplace, a smell of smoke filled the air. At the same time, a odor from the Blue Star rules that could bring little comfort to Blue Star humans finally filled the air from the burning fireplace. come out.
"Light the torches and tell the people in the whole village at the same time. Light the fireplaces in every building and light bonfires at the two city gates."
Shen Mu's new orders were also issued one after another.
"As ordered."
These Swadian militiamen turned around and went to convey the message.
Within a moment, thirty or forty bonfires were quickly lit between various buildings in the entire village.
There are bonfires lit on the inside of the two city gates and on the concrete city walls.
And the largest and largest Swadia militiamen also held torches at this time, forming a large network of patrols and sentries, covering the corners and key areas of the entire village. are included in the direction of inspections.
“My predecessor didn’t know much about the Kuroshio, because every time the Kuroshio came, he would hide in his apartment room and never go out.”
Shen Mu came to the door of the castle hall at this time.
Standing on the huge concrete pier, looking up at the village scenery within the city wall that had been decorated with bonfires and torches, he nodded slightly.
I am satisfied with this arrangement.
However.
What made Shen Mu even more satisfied was the hundreds of panting people squatting on the east side of the city gate.
It was in the afternoon that I went out to spawn monsters urgently, and finally collected 50 villagers with upgrade experience, and 30 robbers, as well as Bandak and Fatis who named them, and brought them together. Sergeant Swadia and the senior thugs of the Lake Rat Gang.
A few minutes before the black tide came, I finally came back and was resting tiredly.
“Upgrade all.”
Shen Mu’s thinking communicated with the system.
After leveling up in the underground garage, 50 villagers and 30 robbers have met the upgrade requirements.
Now, you can become a Swadia recruit and a stronger Lake Rat gang recruit!
[You have soldiers... sizzling... they can be upgraded... sizzling...]
[sizzling... sizzling...]
Just at this time, what appeared in front of Shen Mu was, But it is not the same simple and clear dialog box content as before.
On the contrary, there are some garbled codes that seem to be data errors, and there are simply noises!
"Huh?" Shen Mu frowned: "What's going on?!"
You know, this is a situation that has never happened since the advent of the riding and slashing system!
Shen Mu was originally calm and confident.
At this time, his face suddenly became serious, and his hands subconsciously clenched the hilt of the Holy Tree Cavalry Sword at his waist.
The riding and slashing system is Shen Mu’s golden finger.
Absolute trump card.
It can be said that he, Shen Mu, is the absolute ace in this doomsday-like Blue Star world!
I originally thought that there would be no errors and that the products produced by the system would be high quality.
Now.
Even the riding and slashing system has problems.
How could it be possible not to let Shen Mu, a user who was able to live so well by controlling the riding and slashing system, feel a little upset? !
"Is it because of the black tide?"
Shen Mu frowned, slowly raised his head, and looked at the completely dark night outside.
At this time, on the outskirts of the riding and slashing village of "Dehrim", one can clearly see that it is as dark as ink, as if it is the true darkness that defines the word "black", just outside. solidification.
Now Shen Mu frowned and looked carefully at the complete darkness outside.
It can even be vaguely discovered.
At the junction of the darkness and the dark night of the riding and slashing rules, there are wisps of gray mist that seems to be imperceptible, but because Shen Mu is bound to the riding and slashing system, he is keenly aware of it...
< br>It's infiltrating this way!
Although it came into contact with the dark night under the rules of riding and slashing, in less than half a breath, the gray mist seemed to have come into contact with some light and flame, and completely turned into nothing.
However, in Shen Mu's eyes and perception, he really discovered the traces and wisps of gray fog.
It really penetrated in half a second!
To know.
In the old days.
There is no time when the black tide comes.
But this kind of gray fog has never penetrated, even for a millisecond or an instant.
"Something is wrong." At this time, Shen Mu finally understood why, the predecessor, and even the entire remaining ordinary people who survived until now, went to various lords' places from time to time to pray for protection.
He just prepared enough supplies, hid, and didn't dare to show his body at all, just living out his life outside of the light of the fire.
Swallowed slowly.
Shen Mu combined what he had learned before and what Zhang Song told him that ordinary people need to pray sincerely at all times to strengthen the Blue Star rules and recharge the core of the lord.
He speculated: "When the Black Tide comes, it is also the time when the Necromancer Rules are the most powerful!"
It is not only the Blue Star Rules that cannot resist.
During the day it becomes a playground for undead monsters.
Even the rules of the spirit world, including the various spirit world marks brought by the fantasy side crystal wall system after it was broken and fell on the Blue Star, and even the lord mark.
They are all equally irresistible!
I can only support myself hard.
Otherwise, can the spirit world be directly defeated and broken into countless fragments, allowing the undead rules to be so tyrannical?
【bite! You have soldiers allowed to upgrade! 】
【① Villagers × 50, can be upgraded to 'Svadia recruits (5 dinars each)'】
[② Robbers × 30, can be upgraded to 'Green Forest Bandit (20 dinars per person)/Newcomer of the Lake Rat Gang (20 dinars per person and requires Lake Rat Gang training camp)']
But just when Shen Mu tightened his fingers on the hilt of the sword The knots are all faintly white from exertion.
Symbolizes times when his emotions are somewhat ups and downs.
The dialog box in front of me is finally complete.
‘Buzz! ’
Then with all the upgrades that Shen Mu had determined before, a force from the rules of riding and slashing suddenly surged out from the center of Shen Mu’s eyebrows again!
Only this time, the white light surged out extremely turbulently.
It is like the water breaking through the barrier lake.
Also like a cheetah breaking free.
‘Buzz! ’
It immediately turned into a powerful invisible wave, and began to surge back and forth within the scope of this village.
It seems to show one's own strength.
At the same time, a gray mist is washing away those who dare to intrude.
Reality.
It is the undead rules that are trying to erode!
‘Buzz! ’
After all this was done, the white light formed by the streams of data finally began to fall.
It fell directly onto the 50 villagers and 30 robbers.
Just ten seconds passed.
Wait for the white light to dissipate.
After returning strongly to Shen Mu’s eyebrows.
At the city gate on the east side, 50 Swadia recruits have already appeared there.
The 30 robbers were brought to the training camp of the Lake Rat Gang by a flash of white light, and then in the disappearing white light, they turned into 30 Lake Rats wearing leather jackets and carrying fish darts. Newbie to the Rat Gang.
"It seems that the riding and slashing system was delayed just now." When Shen Mu saw this scene, a smile appeared on his lips.
The hand that was holding the sword hilt tightly finally relaxed at this time.
As long as it works.
This means that my golden finger, my trump card, my biggest trump card, the riding and slashing system, is still running well.
It's just a minor downtime due to the emergence of the black tide.
"Don't stop me! I want to see Master Shen Mu!"
Just when Shen Mu had a smile on his lips and understood that there was no problem with the riding and slashing system, he was on the tower of the castle hall behind him. There was a fierce noise.
And on the other side of the spiral staircase, a small figure ran out quickly.
It is the lv2 druid, the follower of Miss Liu Na, the halfling elder, Pero.
At this time, I saw Shen Mu who turned around and looked over. His eyes suddenly lit up and he said loudly with an anxious look on his face: "Master Shen Mu! This is the black tide! Master Shen Mu! This is the black tide. ! We are in danger! This territory is in danger! We must act quickly!"
There was a bit of a broken sound in that voice.
Obviously, Elder Perot was really shouting out of emotion.
I really understand the seriousness of the matter!
"Okay, let this Elder Perot come over."
Shen Mu stretched out his hand and stopped two Swadian militiamen behind him from rolling down the spiral staircase in embarrassment. The climber fell down and wanted to use rough movements.
And comforted them: "Halflings are very flexible. You have done everything you can. Go back and rest first."
"Sorry, Lord Shen Mu, we will try not to make the same mistake next time." This is a mistake.”
The two Swadian militiamen bowed their heads in guilt and apologized for their failure to guard the tower.
At the same time, he glanced at the halfling elder Pero fiercely.
I also limped and turned around and left here.
After all, Lord Shen Mu, this legendary figure, had spoken, so of course they had to obey.
The halfling elder Pero didn't care about their vicious looks at all. Instead, he looked at Shen Mujie and said, "I'm sorry, Master Shen Mu. I really want to report something to you when I come down this time. ."
"Well, you say." Shen Mu nodded.
“I really didn’t expect that the black tide would come so fast and suddenly this time, leading to the current situation.”
The look on the face of the halfling elder Perro at this time Anxiously, he looked at the pitch black darkness outside and said with a trembling voice: "And Master Shen Mu, I suddenly realized that you don't seem to understand at all what you need to do after you become a lord."
Shen Mu was a little confused about what Elder Pero said: "What are the things that must be done after becoming a lord?"
"You really don't know!?" The furry face of Elder Pero , what was revealed at this time was panic, surprise, and despair:
“You really don’t know that when the black tide comes, the rules of the undead will have the absolute upper hand, and we need to find many blue people similar to you. Humans on the planet pray together devoutly and contribute their spiritual power to maintain the Blue Star rules near their territory and to recharge the spirit world rules that are integrated with the Blue Star rules, that is, the core of the spirit world lords? "
Elder Pero said a series of words.
It just made Shen Mu slightly stunned. Still replied: "I have heard others talk about these things before."
Of course he didn't think about it seriously.
I have a horse-and-blade system, and with such an important trump card, I can easily upgrade the horse-and-blade soldiers, directly transforming them like a complete rebirth.
Of course it is impossible for Shen Mu to allow outsiders to enter his village and territory to investigate the truth.
At least now, my village is still small.
There are also few buildings.
Absolutely no Blue Star humans or their spiritual followers can be allowed in.
Including the current Liu Na and the halfling, they are all under house arrest in the castle tower, allowing them to entertain themselves here. By the way, after solving a lot of troubles, let this lv2 druid Professionals will make some contributions to agriculture in the future.
As for going out casually like now, that is definitely impossible.
It is a completely restrictive state of freedom.
"You really don't know!? The great will of nature is above! You are so powerful, and there is no human race in the spiritual world to tell you what you need to know!"
Elder Pero is really at this time Outrageous anger, panic, and extreme fear.
Shen Mu was very calm.
Because he knew that he also had the mount-and-blade system and the mount-and-blade rules as his backing.
You don’t have to rely entirely on Blue Star rules and spirit world rules.
"During the Black Tide, because the territory contains Blue Star Rules and Spirit World Rules, this will lead to the undead rules being targeted. At that time, there will be an extremely large number of terrifying undead monsters coming to attack."
“And the black tide will last for a week, for seven days, there will always be undead monsters coming to attack.”
“If you are unlucky, you will also encounter those who were in the spirit world. When the crystal wall system still existed, the undead army or the demon army, which could not be suppressed by countless coalition forces of the spiritual world, came to attack."
"That is a truly organized army. , Generally speaking, even a small army is commanded by a high-ranking undead with wisdom or a demon with a title."
"When the time comes, the lord and his territory who are not well prepared will They will be completely massacred and bloodbathed.”
"Just like what happened in the spirit world!"
The halfling elder Pero was still chattering these words, his furry little face distorted and deformed because of fear.
His entire small figure was still walking back and forth in front of Shen Mu.
Looking very anxious.
It is even more terrifying and despairing.
Because he discovered that it was because Shen Mu, the human lord he was originally optimistic about, didn't know anything, resulting in insufficient preparation.
So much so that during the Kuroshio, it was impossible to have any way of survival!
Him, including other halflings.
Even Liu Na.
Because of the current unlucky situation, the undead monsters that are destined to be encountered in seven days will die miserably here!
"It's over! It's over! It's all over!" The halfling elder Pero finally began to give up on himself.
"Elder Perot, we obviously still have hope." But at this moment, at the spiral staircase of the tower, Liu Na, wearing a black robe, was walking down holding a flowerpot.
At this time, there was a bit of perseverance on the pale little face that had not seen the sun all year round.
She has always been afraid of society, but now she is willing to step down and face the difficult situation she is facing now.
“You are still young, you don’t understand!” Elder Pero had tears in his eyes.
"I understand." At this time, Liu Na came to Shen Mu with the flowerpot in her hand, gently stretched out her hand, and a trace of green light appeared in the palm of her hand.
This made Shen Mu look over and frown slightly, but he didn't know what this girl was going to do.
"Master Shen Mu, please take a look."
Liu Na held the flowerpot in her left hand, and shot the green light into the soil of the flowerpot with her right hand.
A special rhythm began to appear.
It even caused the reaction of the so-called fragment of natural will locked in the heart position of Shen Mu's chest, which was locked inside by the rules of riding and slashing.
A special cooling feeling slowly emerged in Shen Mu's body and mind.
"Sure enough, I knew, Lord Shen Mu, that you also have the blessing from the will of nature."
At this time, Liu Na's voice became delighted.
Her eyes released a stream of light.
Making her eyes look like emeralds.
Then the green light that appeared in her hand, and the refreshing feeling, completely disappeared into the flowerpot she held in her left hand.
‘Buzz! ’
Then, the soil in the flower pot began to shake slightly, and a small bump gradually appeared.
Then in the eyes of Shen Mu and Liu Na.
A small plant of several seconds was breaking out of the soil, with green buds, and began to grow rapidly in the green light.
In another ten or so breaths, it actually grew into a small sapling!
“Lord Shen Mu, look, as long as we persevere and work hard, no matter how difficult the situation is, we will be like the apple sapling in this flower pot, and one day it will finally break through the ground! ”
Liu Na said very solemnly.
And when he said this, he had a somewhat holy expression on his face.
Even his head, which had always been hanging down, raised his chest and raised his chin, so that the pale and delicate face was fully displayed in front of Shen Mu's eyes.
"..." Shen Mu's face was a little complicated.
First he glanced at Liu Na, then at the apple seedling in the flowerpot, and finally looked at Elder Pero.
"Ahem..." At this time, Elder Perot wiped the tears on his face with his furry little paw-like hands, and there was also a trace of embarrassment on his face: "This kid has good intentions, at least now ...You see, we have indeed broken away from the despair just now..."
It was Elder Perot's words that became weaker and weaker.
Finally, he pursed his lips.
Sighed.
“Alas.”
“But we really should work hard!” Liu Na said seriously from the side.
Especially the green light in the hand, the power of nature condensed again, and was gently placed on the apple sapling, making it grow faster. At the same time, the tone was also exciting: "At least, we can never give up hope at any time!"
"Yes, you are right." Shen Mu nodded in response, but at this time, a dialog box appeared in front of his eyes.
It is a temporary mission from the riding and slashing system!
【Ding! The temporary task system has detected an event! 】
[Task release: The power of hope. 】
[Mission introduction: Miss Liu Na used her words and actions to prove that hope is crucial. No matter how difficult and dangerous the situation is, we must be full of hope. 】
[Task requirement: Acknowledge and encourage Ms. Liu Na’s words. 】
[Task reward: Encouragement horn (wonderful object). Effect: When this encouragement horn is blown, the soldiers who hear the horn sound will have +30% mental toughness, +30% courage, and +30% morale within 30 minutes. 】
This is why Shen Mu directly admitted that Liu Na was right.
Such a cute and innocent truth.
Exactly right.
"..." It was the halfling elder Pero, who looked at Shen Mu with a complex expression.
Looked again at Liu Na who heard Shen Mu express his approval of her words in a positive tone, with joy and smile on her little face.
Still sighed and said nothing.
But just now.
In front of Shen Mu.
A dialog box appears.
【Ding! Congratulations! You've accomplished your mission: The Power of Hope! 】
【You have obtained a rare item: the Encouragement Horn! 】
A golden card with a horn depicted on it suddenly appeared in Shen Mu's mind.
It is the reward of the mission, the encouragement horn!
"This temporary task is simple enough."
Shen Mu pursed his lips.
But looking at Liu Na who was still holding a flowerpot in front of her, showing herself the apple sapling as if she were offering a treasure.
He still looked at Elder Perot and said: "Elder Perot, next, my troops and I will have our own unique methods to guard this village. I think you can rest assured about the next guard work. "
"Okay, I understand." Of course Elder Pero could tell that this was Shen Mu asking him to leave.
He also wanted to let this innocent and cute little girl Liu Na leave.
Shaked his head and said nothing.
Pulling Liu Na, who clearly wanted to continue talking, she walked towards the spiral staircase of the tower.
Soon.
In the castle hall, only Shen Mu was left.
And as he closed his eyes and communicated with the system, countless data streams began to flow from the center of his eyebrows, and an encouragement horn began to materialize.
‘Buzz! ’
The rules of riding and slashing came again and poured into the palm of his right hand.
Materialization begins.
‘Crack! ’
But just waiting for the small encouragement horn made of ox horns to appear heavily in Shen Mu's palm.
Just outside the village.
It seems that the rules of riding and cutting here are condensed.
Sounds like peeling eggshells began to appear one after another in the darkness.
‘Crack, click, click, click! ’
When they reached the edge of the village, they seemed to be hindered and stopped.
As Shen Mu clenched the encouragement horn in his hand and turned to look over, his eyes shrank slightly: "That's...the crack in the abyss!"
Because he knew it well. of seeing.
On the edge of the intersection between the gloomy night and complete darkness.
A crack that shimmered dark red, as if there were countless charcoal fires or magma, with a dark light shining inside, appeared there.
Not even the pitch-black darkness could cover it.
Not even the thick gray fog can cover it.
And in the crack, there were faint roars.
It was a huge eye flashing with countless dark red fireworks, emerging from the crack, as if the entire crack had turned into its eyes.
“The territory of the human race…”
"Hahahahahaha!"
Then with some arrogant and proud laughter.
Then countless dark red rays of light were suddenly released, directly covering the outside of the city wall.
Amidst the dark red light and flames.
A real army of demons.
This is where it appears!
PS: Please give me more recommendation tickets and monthly passes, thank you all!
