So they followed Shen Mu and rushed out of the low wall and entered the empty main road of Balihe Street.
The surroundings were still quiet, but there was no longer the dead silence that existed when the place was shrouded in darkness before.
As the horseshoes hit the road, a rumbling sound like a flood could be heard on the main road of Balihe Street. After all, the sound of nearly 300 horses' hooves hitting the ground with their seventy or eighty war horses could not be concealed no matter how hard they tried.
Besides, Shen Mu and Bestur, followed by 10 Holy Tree Cavalrymen and 10 grassland bandit elites, as well as the 50 grassland bandits, did not try to cover up the sound of their galloping horses.
As they were speeding along the main road, they saw the curtains of the apartment and residential buildings on both sides being drawn open, revealing windows with faint lights of fire inside.
It is obvious that even if there are still Blue Star humans living in their own safe houses and not entering the low walls, Shen Mu lives within Dehrim's territory.
Shen Mu didn't say anything about this. He just glanced at the windows of the residential building. The flames that came out after the curtains were opened were very obvious, and he knew that there must be people from Blue Star living there.
"Our Dehrim is obviously safe and can ensure daily food supply. These guys don't even come to our side and still live in this kind of place. They simply don't take us seriously." At this time, Bestul also spat fiercely at the side, holding the handle of his nomadic scimitar with a hateful tone.
After all, he also regarded Shen Mu as a savior, so he certainly had no good face towards those Blue Star humans who did not give Shen Mu face.
"It doesn't matter. They will know in the future that our Dehrim is not only safe, but also a good place with food to feed them." Shen Mu smiled and did not comment on Bestur's words.
He also understood that as long as he gave the order, Bestur would definitely ride on his prairie horse and lead those prairie bandits to search the residential buildings layer by layer.
Search out those Blue Star humans who dared to live in residential buildings, then put your nomadic scimitars on their necks and force them to enter Dehrim.
Of course Bestur could do it, as he himself was a fairly famous general of the Source of Evil.
This kind of thing is very common for him.
"Then they live here and enjoy the illumination of the Holy Light Torch Tower, which can prevent the undead rules from invading here. This is also thanks to your contribution, Lord Shen Mu."
Bestur still looked at the increasing number of Blue Star humans living in the residential building who were quietly watching him from the window with a somewhat unwilling tone. He snorted coldly and said, "Master Shen Mu, everyone knows your kindness, but you should also let them know that it is because of your efforts that they can live here so peacefully without any danger."
"That's right, Master Shen Mu, your kindness should be enjoyed by those who are willing to accept your leadership, not by those who are unwilling to accept your leadership and have opinions about you, so as to make them act unruly."
The other grassland bandits and grassland bandit elites also nodded in agreement with Bestul's theory. Looking at the Blue Star humans in the windows who obviously did not completely believe in Shen Mu and chose to live in residential buildings, they all felt it was not worth it for Shen Mu.
This further aroused the anger of these lawless elements.
"Okay, okay, calm down. There's no need to be so angry." Shen Mu still smiled, shook the reins gently, and led them forward.
Because what is needed are some Blue Star humans who are willing to follow him, willing to go to Dehrim, and willing to pray spontaneously.
In this way, these male humans will generate a relatively pure power of faith from their prayers, which will then be absorbed by him. Otherwise, they will just be pretending to pray there, which is completely a shtick and will not generate any power of faith at all. This will waste his food reserves for no reason, which is also a loss for Shen Mu.
It would be better to let them come to Dehrim spontaneously, and after learning about the safety of Dehrim, they would be willing to pray devoutly, emitting a purer power of faith so that it would be absorbed by it, or even because of long-term prayers, they would recognize Shen Mu's theory and Dehrim as their ideal home, and become pan-believers or true believers.
Even deep believers, or even devout believers or fanatical believers.
This is an improvement for Shen Mu.
Forced belief will never lead to true belief, Shen Mu is quite aware of this, especially the character and habits of these Blue Star humans. Shen Mu is also very clear about it. After all, his predecessor had been a Blue Star human for more than ten years, and the memories of his predecessor are still in his mind.
So he understood that it was impossible for these Blue Star humans who had experienced scientific civilization to become complete believers.
It is also difficult to convert them.
Especially since the advent of the undead rules, they have been struggling all the way until now and have long since stopped believing in it. Everyone only believes in themselves, so it is indeed a very slow and painstaking effort to open their hearts and make them believe in themselves.
However, Shen Mu also has this confidence. As long as he ensures their safety, brings more shelter and provides more food, these Blue Star humans will eventually offer him a journey of faith.
In particular, he could provide these humans from Blue Star with a precious way to become commanders in the spiritual world, that is, to appoint centurions themselves and then let his own Mounted Blade soldiers follow them.
In this situation where everything from life to security to future promotion paths are clearly arranged for them, if anyone still has any opinions about Shen Mu and his Dehrim, then it would really be a bad intention.
If Shen Mu finds out by then, there will be no need to show mercy. He will just send people to expel them or kill them directly to avoid wasting food.
"Sir, we are just ahead of the edge of the Holy Light Torch Tower." At this time, Bestul suddenly spoke and interrupted Shen Mu's thoughts.
Shen Mu also looked forward.
Not far ahead, the area that was affected by the Holy Light Torch Tower, which was centered on the Torch Tower and extended 1 kilometer outward, finally reached its limit.
Pieces of white light flickered at that extreme position, but beyond the light, a pitch-black darkness was still condensing there.
And at the junction of light and darkness, you can see a wisp of black fog lingering, but when the black fog enters the place where the light shines, it seems to be directly annihilated by the light and heat filled in the light, and it is impossible to penetrate in. But at this time, Shen Mu's brows also frowned slightly, including the Holy Tree Knights and the grassland bandits beside him, all subconsciously put their hands on their weapons.
Because right where darkness and light met, a group of undead monsters wrapped in black fog appeared there.
It was as if when I was wandering around, I suddenly came into this light, and then the skeletons and zombie bodies wrapped in black mist were very obvious in this light.
“Isn't there any way for the Holy Light Torch Tower to directly hinder those undead monsters? It can only block the darkness and gray fog filled with the rules of the undead.” He seemed to be thinking about something at this time, and nodded as he looked at the undead monsters that rushed in, but there was not much fear on his face. He was just a little surprised because they appeared here and were within the influence of the Holy Light Torch Tower.
The same goes for the Holy Tree Knights and Prairie Bandits behind them. After all, they are just some low-level undead monsters. Even if they randomly pick one person out and ride his horse over, he can kill all those skeleton soldiers and zombies.
"Wait, those undead monsters seem to be unable to move within the range of the Holy Light Torch Tower." Shen Mu suddenly seemed to have discovered something and exclaimed.
"That's right, those undead monsters seem to be corroded all over! No! They should be purified by flames and light!" The other grassland bandit elites also exclaimed at this time.
Because in their eyes, the skeleton soldiers and zombies wandering into the light, although there were still pieces of gray mist lingering on their bodies, but when they walked in the light, almost every step, the power of light, the light and heat of the light, were purifying these skeleton soldiers and zombies.
It was easy to see that the gray mist originally lingering on the skeleton soldiers and zombies was evaporating rapidly and soon disappeared completely.
Then, their bodies also showed some special phenomena in the light and heat, as if they were evaporating.
The zombie's flesh, which had originally been rotten like leather, was now showing a large number of black spots, as if it was rotting normally and then falling off the body.
As these zombies walked, they all fell to the ground with their heads down, and then turned into normal corpses and never moved again.
It was even more obvious for those skeleton soldiers. The faint blue soul fire in their eyes was targeted by the light and heat. They shook vigorously for a few times, then slowly began to shrink, and finally disappeared completely as if it was burned out.
These skeleton soldiers were instantly broken into skeletons and turned into a pile of useless bones, unable to stand up again, as if they had been completely defeated.
Shen Mu saw all these actions.
"Fortunately, it seems that the Holy Light Torch Tower has worked in purifying the undead monsters." Shen Mu certainly knew that this was one of the effects of the Holy Light Torch Tower, which could purify evil creatures and cause them to produce special damage effects.
In this way, there is no need to send soldiers to attack them. As long as these undead monsters are contaminated by the light of the Holy Light Torch Tower, they will die completely and will no longer pose any danger.
"It really is worthy of being the Holy Light Torch Tower of the Holy White Council." At this time, Shen Mu became more and more emotional.
After all, in the Middle-earth world of The Lord of the Rings, the White Council can be said to be the top force, bar none.
After all, this is a force created by Saruman, a messenger of God, to seal the evil devil or demon king.
It is itself a kind of control of the good camp and the justice camp over the evil camp.
This kind of Holy Light Torch Tower is often built in a crucial location, or even as a core location to imprison those evil monarchs who have committed heinous crimes.
If one's energy is not strong, then one will be corrupted or even destroyed by these evil demon kings and demon lords. In order to prevent this, the Holy White Council will of course use a lot of effort and precious materials in this kind of building.
At the same time, it also gives this building extremely powerful power.
At least compared to the demon lords in the Middle-earth world of The Lord of the Rings, these undead monsters that appear now are really child's play.
Therefore, it is quite easy for the Holy White Council's Holy Light Torch Tower to use its power to upgrade, suppress, and eliminate these undead rules and undead monsters.
"Then I feel relieved." Shen Mu nodded. In this case, he wouldn't even need to send out troops to patrol and defend key locations.
Because those low-level undead monsters will be dissipated, dissolved and purified as long as they get close to the location where the light is.
This means that the biggest threat to the Blue Star world will be lost. Once it enters darkness, there will be endless attacks.
It was precisely because of the endless attacks of the undead monsters that both the humans on Blue Star and the lords of the spirit world had to be on guard at all times, and focused on developing the military to delay the normal operation of the territory.
Shen Mu obviously doesn't have this worry now. As long as he maintains the light of the Holy Light Torch Tower, he can speed up the construction of the territory.
"Just now, I discussed with Manide whether we should expand the entire city area of Dehrim and open up an area as the new city area of Dehrim." Shen Mu touched his chin at this time, and was thoughtful: "It seems that it can indeed be put on the agenda. As for the new city area, all the Blue Star humans will live there. This will make it more convenient to manage and can accommodate more Blue Star humans."
Thinking of this, Shen Mu felt even happier and more comfortable.
It has to be said that he has finally pushed the territory to a relatively safe position and can continue to vigorously develop people's livelihood buildings.
"Win over the humans on Blue Star to gain more power of faith, then earn more dinars, and then speed up the construction of the town." Shen Mu's mouth curled up slightly: "Perfect." (End of this chapter)
