Swadian Recruit themselves were a group of armed Farmers, wielding long-handled scythes, and had undergone several months of training to take shape.
Therefore, for these pitiful Skeleton Soldiers, fragile skeletons assembled from bones, the agile Swadian Recruit, with iron scythe heads on their long-handled scythes poking in like spears, could easily take them all down.
Only Blue Star Humans, who lacked the power of rules and thus couldn't pose any threat to Undead Monster, were afraid of these Skeleton Soldiers.
Any named creature race within the fantasy-side crystal wall system, whether it be adolescents among humans, junior apprentices among dwarves, or youngsters among elves, could easily dispatch these Skeleton Soldiers as long as they held a weapon.
Even human children of thirteen or fourteen, if brave enough to pick up a long stick, could shatter two or three Skeleton Soldiers to the ground.
Skeleton Soldiers among the Undead race were truly that fragile, possessing little combat power.
Moreover, for these Mount & Blade Soldiers, although they didn't possess the spirit world rules of the fantasy side, their own Mount & Blade Rules still played a role.
Shattering these fragile, low-level Skeleton Soldiers into piles of skeletal debris on the ground was incredibly easy.
"Alright, let's continue to rush in and eliminate all the Skeleton Soldiers inside." Zhang Caidong was also full of excitement at this moment, as if he had found the glorious moment when he used to lead Gnoll as a Spiritual Realm Commander.
After all, the Spiritual Realm Follower he led before were Gnoll, and when they encountered these Undead Monster, these Gnoll, armed with scimitars, could also smash these Skeleton Soldiers into pieces on the ground.
And at that time, Zhang Caidong had to admit that he was quite glorious then, after all, Gnoll, as a Spiritual Realm creatures, were inherently a combat race.
He gained their approval and made these Gnoll his Follower.
It was precisely because of this that he was able to join the Diesel Company's convoy and become a temporary worker for a temporary convoy.
However, now, looking at these human soldiers who, at his command, kicked open the door and began entering the dark room, fighting with those skeletons, his face was filled with even greater joy.
Now he no longer needed those Gnoll; now that he had these human soldiers, it meant that he finally didn't have to worry about being as cruel and cunning as a Gnoll, and losing his humanity.
After all, soul-level resonance with the Gnoll race would also turn him into a Gnoll, and he was quite clear about what Gnoll were like.
He had no choice before, but now he had a choice, and naturally, he now intensely disliked the Gnoll race.
If one could be a human, why would one choose to be a Gnoll?
And as he was pondering, the sounds of battle inside the room gradually diminished, so he pushed open the door and walked in, seeing the 10 Swadian Recruit standing in the room, holding long-handled scythes.
On the floor of the room lay numerous scattered skeletal fragments, and a quick glance was enough to estimate that there had been about seven or eight Skeleton Soldiers in the room just now.
But now they had all turned into useless shattered bone fragments.
"It's all taken care of." The captain among those Swadian Recruit nodded to Zhang Caidong, who had just entered and was a Ten-Man Commander in their eyes, reporting the situation.
"Very good." Zhang Caidong, of course, had nothing else to say; looking at the surrounding untouched supplies, he had no desire to touch them.
They were all ordinary supplies, and for him, who now had access to Deherim's supply, he simply didn't care for these ordinary supplies anymore.
After all, the supplies in Deherim now were all extraordinary supplies; whether it was food or water, whether it was the usual living quarters or the activity range, they all contained the power of rules.
These ordinary supplies were only needed by ordinary Blue Star Humans; for him, there was no possibility of needing them at all.
So, he directly waved his hand, signaling the Swadian Recruit to continue following him to the next room.
After all, there were still Undead Monster in the next room, and Cai Dong had already discovered the distribution pattern of those Undead Monster, and also found that there seemed to be quite a few sealed rooms in this residential area.
"Should I intentionally seal up all these rooms, and then wait for darkness to appear after nightfall, followed by gray mist, so that many Undead Monster will descend here?"
Zhang Caidong even entertained such a thought, but he quickly extinguished it in his mind.
After all, this was a very dangerous idea; he now clearly understood that the more Undead Monster solved in one place, the higher and more numerous the Undead Monster's strength would refresh, threatening him not only in quantity but also in quality.
In fact, if it only threatened Zhang Caidong himself or these 10 Swadian Recruit, that would be one thing, but the distance from Deherim was simply too close; if it posed a threat to Deherim, he would absolutely not want to see that.
He truly had developed deep feelings for Deherim now, genuinely regarding Deherim as another home, and he recognized it more than the Diesel Company. After all, Deherim, no matter how you looked at it, placed him in the highest position of authority, and truly gave him real power, the power to use that authority boldly and confidently.
Compared to the constant oppression and trepidation he experienced at the Diesel Company, he truly lived a very relaxed and comfortable life here, with not as many troubles. Although there were occasional internal struggles, they were within his controllable range.
Therefore, Zhang Caidong truly liked Deherim and was very grateful to Shen Mu for giving him this opportunity.
He did not want to cause more trouble for Deherim.
So he led these 10 Swadian Recruit towards the next room; as long as a room with Undead Monster was found, the door would be kicked again, allowing the Undead Monster inside to detect the noise and actively use their weapons to attack the anti-theft door, using the power of death spirit rules to destroy the building door native to the Blue Star World.
This also saved them the work of actively destroying the anti-theft door and improved work efficiency.
After all, they themselves actually had some blue star rules within their bodies, so they couldn't easily crush and destroy the native buildings of the Blue Star World like Undead Monster could, as if crushing bean dregs.
However, even the lowest-level Undead Monster could destroy the best anti-theft doors in the Blue Star World, but once the anti-theft door was destroyed, it also meant that Zhang Caidong, leading these Swadian Recruit, could kill all those Undead Monster on the spot.
After all, what appeared were either Skeleton Soldiers or some zombies, and even the seemingly fierce Ghoul in this confined space were forced back by the spear formation formed by these Swadian Recruit and hacked to death.
It was all a common occurrence.
Moreover, even if they encountered difficult opponents, Zhang Caidong himself would personally take action; he was now also equipped with the gear and template of a Swadian Recruit.
He also had a long-handled scythe and knew how to use it.
Therefore, paired with these Swadian Recruit, he was truly unstoppable in this apartment building.
And in fact, it wasn't just him who was unstoppable; others were equally unstoppable.
Nearby, Sun Zhiru was also leading his 10 Swadian Commoners, fighting against those Undead Monster.
That's right, apart from Zhang Caidong, everyone else was leading ordinary Swadian Commoners.
They were all carrying wooden sticks.
They didn't have much combat power.
However, Sun Zhiru, leading these Swadian Commoners, as long as they were seen by those forest monsters, would actively charge forward and use their wooden sticks to attack those clumsy, stiff Undead Monster.
They could still knock all those Undead Monster to the ground; after all, if a skeleton is shattered, it's considered dead.
If the soul fire in a zombie's head is dispersed, it's also considered dead.
The Undead race was inherently the weakest race; when facing a large number of reproductive races, besides having an advantage in numbers, they had no advantage in quality. Although they looked terrifying, their actual combat power was truly very low. These Swadian Commoners were also commoners who had come from the chaotic Calradia continent. They all understood combat and had undergone training, even inviting many generals to train them due to Bandit invasions, so they were not afraid of these monsters at all.
As long as they mustered their courage and charged forward, it would be these seemingly terrifying Undead Monster that died.
So, Sun Zhiru eventually stopped commanding these Swadian Commoners much; instead, he also took out a sturdy large wooden stick, knocked open the doors of rooms containing Undead Monster, and then actively rushed in with these Swadian Commoners, using the wooden sticks in their hands to bludgeon the Undead Monster to death.
In terms of combat results, he was in no way inferior to Zhang Caidong, who had the Swadian Recruit.
And it was the same for everyone else.
Their subordinates were all Swadian Commoners, but the combat power and skilled fighting techniques displayed by these commoners at this time were indeed not comparable to what was called Farmers.
In the past, it wasn't that no one had acquired human Follower; some serfs or slaves, or just ordinary self-sufficient Farmers, had simply not received any combat training.
They would be afraid when encountering monsters.
So much so that many people believed that the human race was simply not capable.
Therefore, they all chose those wild races.
But now, looking at the Swadian Commoners from Swadia, from the faction to which Lord Shen Mu belonged, the combat techniques they displayed did not at all resemble Farmers who dug for food in the fields.
It was as if these commoners, though living normal lives, would transform into Bandits appearing in the wilderness if anything happened.
Because among these commoners, some were already holding not wooden sticks, but butcher knives, savagely stabbing at the zombies' eye sockets, and then killing all these zombies on the spot.
Even the executives among these Blue Star Humans noticed that these Swadian Commoners seemed to have all seen blood.
They even looked like they had truly killed people.
Otherwise, how could these commoner units not be afraid of these terrifying Undead Monster at all? One must know that even these Blue Star Humans, in the beginning, would be on edge and quite nervous internally when facing these Undead Monster, and that includes now.
But these commoners from Swadia truly had no way, nor would they show any fear; they would just charge forward expressionlessly, and then use their targets or butcher knives to eliminate any Undead Monster they encountered.
And all Swadian Commoners were like this.
The 20 human executives who came to this residential area this time all found these Swadian Commoners to be a quite belligerent race.
They couldn't help but inwardly click their tongues, and they became even more curious about the large human faction behind Shen Mu.
Of course, for them now, what needed to be done was to quickly have these Swadian Commoners find the Undead Monster in these residential buildings.
After all, Shen Mu had already said that if they could properly arrange for these Swadian Commoners to fight, then they would be eligible to have these Swadian Commoners promoted to better troop types.
Although the next upgraded troop type was the Swadian Recruit, which were the Swadian Recruit that Zhang Caidong led, they had already seen them.
But they had also heard that after Recruit, there were Militia, and after Militia, there were light infantry, and at the light infantry level, they were already true human elite soldiers, wearing chainmail, wielding sword and shield, and long spears.
Even the Militia had crossbows they could use.
They looked at them with great envy.
Therefore, it further strengthened their desire to quickly allow these Swadian Commoners to accumulate enough combat experience, and then go to Lord Shen Mu to have them upgraded.
Although they didn't understand what 'upgrade' meant, nor what it meant for these Swadian Commoners to experience more combat and accumulate so-called 'combat experience,' they all understood that as long as they continued to work hard, they could turn these human Follower they possessed into very powerful elite human soldiers.
They hoped for that day.
