When these Blue Star human executives went to upgrade the Swadian civilians, Shen Mu in Dehrim had already received the news that Torres' caravan had returned from New Rivadin.
After all, the Vikia Castle in New Rivadin was short of food, so Torres' caravan went there to deliver a batch of supplies to them.
After delivering the supplies, we returned.
"Well done, Torres. Now I need you to work hard again and go to the White Tower area of the Middle-earth Demon Realm to conduct business and trade." Shen Mu nodded to Torres with satisfaction. Especially when he saw that there was not much reluctance on Torres' face, he also understood that his choice as the leader of the caravan was the right one.
"Everything is for your service, respected Lord Shen Mu." Torres was also very humble and put his hand on his chest and bowed.
"By the way, you can go to the warehouse now, load the corpses of the abyss demons onto the car, and then go to the White Tower area to trade with them." Shen Mu began to make arrangements.
However, Torres did not leave on time. Instead, he reported to Shen Mu: "Of course, we don't need these Abyss Demons this time, because I also found many corpses of Hell Demons in New Rivadin. Perhaps these things are also some basic supplies that Mr. Saruman in the White Tower area needs."
"The corpses of the devils from hell are fine. Then let's transport these corpses of the devils from hell to them as the commodities for this exchange." Shen Mu nodded.
After all, no matter whether it is the corpse of the abyss demon or the corpse of the hell devil, to him they are just some corpses and there is no need for them at all.
It would be better to exchange them all for dinars or goods that you urgently need, which is the way to maximize their value.
After all, the Saruman in the White Tower area should still be studying how to create the race of Orcs. Although transporting the corpses of the abyss demons or hell devils over there will definitely allow Saruman to create a more powerful race of Orcs, it will also definitely cause greater trauma to the elves, humans, and even dwarves in the world of the Lord of the Rings.
But it doesn't matter to anyone. After all, the pressure he is facing now is equivalent to facing an attack from the entire undead world.
Although it now seems to have occupied Balihe Street and the suburbs.
But this is just a drop in the bucket. He has not yet fought against the real army of undead. What he has now is just a good start.
So he needs to accumulate his power more actively.
"Then I'll be leaving." Torres nodded, then saluted respectfully to Shen Mu again and turned to leave the noble mansion.
Just outside the noble mansion, the caravan belonging to Torres left again, but this time his caravan did not load the corpses of the abyss demons from the warehouse, because his vehicles were already full of the corpses of low-level and medium-level demons.
It was at that time that Shen Mu collected the devil corpses after killing those hell devils in Xinriwading.
It just happens to come in handy now.
"But now, I should build my second castle as soon as possible." Shen Mu couldn't help but touch his chin after seeing that most of the things had been solved.
There was something moving on his face.
After all, he now has a town and a castle. In order to ensure that his strength grows again, the third castle, which is the reward he obtained before, should also be built.
However, before launching the attack, Shen Mu still hesitated for a moment, turned his head and said to the Swadian light infantryman who was acting as an attendant next to him, "Call the two generals Bandak and Fatis over now."
"Understood. Please wait a moment." The Swadian light infantryman who served as an attendant did not say anything. He just nodded and turned to leave.
About 10 minutes passed.
Bantak and Fatis returned to the noble mansion.
"Sir, is there something you want to ask us?" The two of them bowed respectfully to Shen Mu.
"Well, that's true. I want to build a castle again to ensure the safety of our forces." Shen Mu did not explain why he had a castle, but he stated his question: "So where do you think it would be more appropriate to build this castle?"
At this time, Shen Mu also reached out and pushed open a map. This map also detailed the general distribution of the city of Long where they were.
Balihe Street also occupies a major position.
At the same time, Shen Mu pointed in the direction of the town of Dehrim and the castle of Xinriwadin and said, "This is our town of Dehrim and the Vikia castle Xinriwadin that I built before. They are right here. Take a look and see where the new castle can help our Dehrim and Xinriwadin."
Then Bandak and Fatis did not ask why the castle was built suddenly. At this time, they came to Shen Mu and looked at the map, especially the towns and castles marked on the map. They reached out and touched their chins and fell into deep thought.
They were indeed in deep thought, because the distribution of power in this world was different from the medieval-like world of Mount and Blade where they lived.
In the world of Mount and Blade, towns are equivalent to small villages in this world.
A castle is more like a residential area.
In terms of scale, the city was equivalent to the huge territory of a noble in their impression.
The terrifying residential buildings that looked like mountains were enough to shock them.
It was precisely this kind of environment that made them feel that their previous experience in building towns or castles on mountains, plains and beside rivers was completely useless.
So they all looked at each other, looked at the map, and finally set their sights on the area where the Diesel Company was located, which had turned into a desert. "You mean to build the new castle on the Diesel Company's orc tribe?" Shen Mu also saw their gaze at this time.
"Yes, sir, that's what we mean. After all, the location of the Orc tribe happened to be next to the Xiaolong River, and the location just happened to control the Balihe Street. It's even the only way to the city center. If we guard that road, we can basically block the main road from the city center to the suburbs."
Fatis said at this time: "In this way, we can still put a nail in the core position of Balihe Street, and we can continue to take care of it if anything happens."
At this time, Fatis added: "With this nail, whether we want to attack the city or retreat from the city, we have a very good guarantee."
"Yes, that's my opinion." Bandak nodded and agreed with Fatis's opinion.
Seeing Shen Mu's thoughtful look, he slowly opened his mouth to remind him, "Besides, although we are verbally allies with the Green Leaf Group in the city center, our relationship with them is quite cold. We don't even know what their attitude towards us is. After all, when we were fighting with the Diesel Company before, they didn't come to help us. Even though we did launch a sneak attack and didn't inform the Green Leaf Group in advance, they still haven't contacted us until now, which is enough to show that they are indeed a little afraid of us."
"You mean that Green Leaf Group is no longer an ally and is a subtle threat to us, right?" Shen Mu spoke thoughtfully at this time. In fact, it was not only Bandak who had this feeling, he also felt the same way.
"That's right. We built the new castle at the destroyed nest of the Diesel Company and also to increase the defense against the Green Leaf Group." Fatis nodded beside him.
In this case, Shen Mu also understood what the two people meant. In fact, he felt the same way before. After all, Green Leaf Group was the only force he had contact with now. The Diesel Company had collapsed, and the next one was Green Leaf Group.
But he really knew nothing about Green Leaf Group, and there was even very little communication between the two sides.
Even when the Diesel Company ruled Balihe Street, he had communicated with the Green Leaf Group, but he had only seen wood elves from afar within the Green Leaf Group's sphere of influence, warning them that these wanderers must not approach them.
The Green Leaf Group is quite xenophobic and only trusts its own people. Only a small number of spiritual commanders can be absorbed by them.
Of course, Shen Mu was indeed one of the excluded ones at that time, and he was also excluded by the Diesel Company. He was even forced to live in the suburbs near the suburbs because he offended some people in the Diesel Company.
If you think about it, although the Green Leaf Group seems to be much kinder than the Diesel Company, this kindness is only towards their own people. In the area where the Green Leaf Group is located, all the spiritual marks found have been monopolized by the Green Leaf Group.
If an ordinary spirit commander or wanderer found the spirit mark and was then discovered by the wood elves, they would be forced to hand it over. They would also say that this was the territory of the Green Leaf Group and that everything they did was an infringement of the rights of the Green Leaf Group.
Such so-called codes of conduct certainly seem much more reasonable. At least they are better than the diesel companies' direct robbery.
But in fact they are all the same.
If you think about it carefully, Shen Mu can also understand that the Green Leaf Group formed an alliance with him at that time, perhaps because they suddenly found a human lord here. When they couldn't fight against the Diesel Company on their own, they wanted to come and unite with him to fight against the powerful Diesel Company.
It is very common for the weak to form alliances against the strongest, but the Green Leaf Group did not realize it, or it was beyond their expectations. They grew too fast, so that the Diesel Company was wiped out by a sneak attack before it even noticed its own growth speed.
Then the remaining Green Leaf Group found that they were still so weak, but facing the new human leader, they had become lambs to be slaughtered.
Then I became wary and didn't dare to have too much contact with him.
"Well, let's put the new castle there." Shen Mu nodded at this time, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but there was also a hint of consideration in his eyes: "It depends on the attitude of Green Leaf Group. If their attitude is not good, I don't mind making them end up like Diesel Company."
"Of course, they have violated your rights, my dear sir. If you are willing, we are always willing to listen to your mediation." Bandak and Fatis also nodded at this time.
They don't care about taking the initiative. After all, as long as they are competitors, they may become enemies. What's more, everything that Green Leaf Group is doing now does have the possibility of becoming an enemy.
Of course, they also talked about the Green Leaf Group during their conversation, so they had reached a consensus that the Green Leaf Group could become an enemy, and if it was eliminated, he could also occupy the Balihe Street at the same time.
In this way, Lord Shen Mu, as the lord, will also gain more rights and interests. At least for Lord Shen Mu, he can get more of the power of faith that he has always been thinking about.
After all, the Green Leaf Group has taken in more than 1 to 2 Blue Star humans. If those Blue Star humans also become Shen Mu’s believers, he will gain more and more power of faith.
And this is why Shen Mu has some ideas about Green Leaf Group.
After all, the Green Leaf Group really has too many Blue Star humans, to the point that it is a crime to possess a treasure. Especially as Shen Mu is developing faster and faster, he needs more and more faith power, so it is reasonable for him to target the Green Leaf Group.
Sometimes it is indeed a crime to possess a treasure, and this principle is very correct.
Even Shen Mu, because of the power of faith, began to have ideas about the Green Leaf Group, and after gaining huge profits from solving the Diesel Company, he became more and more fond of war.
Besides, for everyone, the Mount and Blade system itself requires war. It is precisely because of war that it can grow like a snowball and become more and more powerful.
"Green Leaf Group." Shen Mu stretched out his hand and tapped the table a few times. Yanli also looked thoughtful.
I even had some thoughts in my heart.
After all, he has entered a relatively peaceful time now. If he can take advantage of this peaceful time to eliminate the Green Leaf Group and then swallow up their power in one gulp.
Perhaps we can enter a period of rapid development again. (End of this chapter)
