Uncontaminated Wheat Field

Blue Star has entered a terrifying period of time, being eroded by the rules of the dead Spiritual Realm!

And for Shen Mu.

Tonight will be even more dangerous!

"Resist the invasion..." Shen Mu lightly chewed on the phrase, looking solemnly at the dialogue box on his retina.

This was a warning from the system.

It directly indicated that tonight, a group of Undead Monsters would definitely come to kill them!

"But the system says to protect the Wheat Field, what does that mean?" Shen Mu frowned.

This left him puzzled.

The Undead Monsters that appeared in the darkness were mostly dead Zombies or Skeletons and other Undead Creatures.

Counting monsters, they were also somewhat similar to demons or devils.

They were things that needed the souls of living beings or fresh flesh and blood.

How could they have any need for wheat, which normal living beings liked to eat to fill their stomachs?!

Shen Mu shook his head, still not thinking too much about these things he couldn't figure out.

Instead, he directed these Swadian Militia to quickly make some Torches using the materials they had on hand.

They used table legs or chair legs, wrapped the front end with a few layers of rags or old clothes, and then tied them tightly.

This became a temporary Torch.

This way, whether they were defending this apartment room or going out to patrol the corridor or the Wheat Field.

Then there would be enough fire to illuminate the darkness and also dispel the Gray Fog.

"In the darkness and in the Gray Fog, those Undead Monsters will gain extra combat power, which is why having fire is extremely important now."

Shen Mu thought about the memories of his previous life and sighed with emotion, "It's hard enough to be alive."

But there was nothing he could do.

Who told him that he had also come to this world?

Soon.

Time passed, and the darkness deepened.

In the darkness outside the window, wisps of Gray Fog permeated, and faint sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling were mixed in.

Shen Mu stood by the window and looked out, but there was nothing but darkness before his eyes.

This made him feel a little anxious.

Behind him, all 15 Swadian Militia held the Spears in their hands and sat in the corner, waiting.

However, on both sides of the Security Door, there were still 5 Swadian Militia sitting there even more seriously, constantly watching the movements outside the door, not daring to relax in the slightest.

Shen Mu initially judged that Undead Monsters would be born from the darkness of the corridor and come over.

After all, most of the Undead Monsters they had encountered before had broken through the door.

He didn't know why, but Shen Mu always felt that something was wrong.

But he couldn't say what was wrong.

"What's going on?" Shen Mu stood by the window, his mood becoming increasingly heavy.

Especially the faint smell of Sulfur that appeared in his nostrils made his emotions even more negative.

He looked up at the Security Door.

He also looked at the entrance leading to the adjacent Wheat Field, which had been opened and blocked by a pile of wooden boards.

Shen Mu did not detect any unexpected situation happening.

If Undead Monsters were coming to attack.

Then the best route would be to first break through the Security Door of the apartment room he was in.

Only then could they enter the Wheat Field.

"It can't be from the window..." Shen Mu thought this, but his expression subconsciously froze.

Then his face changed drastically: "The window!"

This exclamation immediately alerted the 15 Swadian Militia in the room.

One by one, they all stood up, leaning on their Spears, from their squatting and resting posture.

Their expressions were solemn.

Their eyes were even eager to try.

They looked extremely excited.

"Move the clutter! Pick up the Torches! Go to the Wheat Field room!" Shen Mu immediately issued the order.

"Understood!"

The Swadian Militia immediately moved aside the clutter, reached out and grabbed a makeshift torch. After lighting it near the brazier, they lifted the cloth curtain and rushed out.

As these Swadian Militia members filed out, Shen Mu also quickly walked over, holding his longsword.

However, just as he lifted the cloth curtain and entered the wheat field that had been expanded by the Mount & Blade System, formed by 20 connected apartment rooms, Shen Mu froze in place.

"How... how is there no darkness and gray fog here!?" Shen Mu was truly stunned.

No, it wasn't that there was no darkness.

It was that...

There was none of that pure darkness, where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, the kind that appeared after the Undead rules descended, completely devoid of any light!

What was here...

Was just a normal, gentle darkness, as if bathed in the night, illuminated by the stars, covered by a layer of night sky.

It didn't bring the complete suppression caused by the pure darkness of the Undead rules.

Here...

It truly felt like a peaceful night, swimming in a peaceful night sky.

There was no darkness, no suppression.

And no pervasive gray fog!

"There's still gray fog, it's outside the windows!" Shen Mu raised the torch in his hand at this moment.

The burning torch illuminated the field ridges and the cut wheat stubble within a six or seven meter radius.

It also illuminated the deep darkness and dense gray fog just outside the apartment windows not far away.

And the mist that was swirling, attempting to penetrate, but unable to succeed!

Shen Mu's breathing quickened slightly.

If his memory served him correctly...

That darkness and gray fog were actually manifestations of the Undead rules!

And now, his wheat field, the one acre of land expanded from the Mount & Blade world, had naturally repelled the darkness and gray fog outside.

Didn't that mean...

The land rewarded by his Mount & Blade world hadn't been encroached upon by the Undead rules!?

"Caw! Caw! Caw!"

But just as Shen Mu had this sudden realization, outside the windows, the sound of flapping wings and some kind of sharp screeching began to appear.

At the same time, standing in this wheat field, Shen Mu's nostrils definitely caught the strong smell of sulfur!

"Stay alert! Prepare for battle!"

Shen Mu instantly reacted. His previous guess was indeed correct!

"Prepare for battle!" The Swadian Militia members immediately threw their torches into the wheat field where there were no longer any flammable materials. They shouted to each other and quickly formed two rows side by side.

They formed a Spear Phalanx in a formation of seven in the front and eight in the back, standing ready.

Although a 15-person Spear Phalanx looked sparse...

But!

It was enough to block the width of this wheat field, which was less than ten meters wide, mainly based on the width of the apartment rooms!

And after setting up the Spear Phalanx...

These Swadian Militia members also skillfully took out their hunting crossbows from their lower backs and quickly loaded the crossbow bolts into the shooting slots.

The iron crossbow bolt tips were aimed outwards.

Especially at the windows.

They were already prepared.

In this wheat field, they felt as comfortable as they did when living in the Kingdom of Swadia.

The scent of ripe wheat lingered in their nostrils.

It also reminded them of the robbers and bandits who always appeared during harvest time, as well as the outlaw bandits who committed all sorts of evil deeds.

Whenever they encountered them, they had to quickly assemble and use their current formation to repel those bad guys!

"For the Kingdom of Swadia!"

Some Swadian Militia members began to shout in low voices.

This was their training slogan.

Now, it just happened to ignite the fighting spirit and morale of these Swadian Militia members!

"For the Kingdom of Swadia!"

They shouted in unison.

Crash!

Just then, the windows of over 20 apartments were violently shattered, making a crashing sound.

And in the darkness outside, shadowy figures were wrapped in wisps of gray fog.

With hideous faces.

Cruel killing intent.

They also arrived in this Wheat Field.

Flapping the Bat Wings on their backs, twisting their dark red bodies and snake-like tails.

Holding up the Iron Short Spears or Iron Forks in their hands.

Grinning hideously.

With a thirst for blood.

They instantly locked onto Shen Mu and his Swadian Militia, who were standing at the edge of the Wheat Field, already arrayed in a phalanx!

Battle was imminent!
