Sharpshooter's Shot

Rhodok Sharpshooter.

The most lethal Tier 5 Unit in the Mount & Blade: Warband World, bar none.

With the Sniper Crossbow in their hands, even Heavy Infantry clad in full heavy armor, if they don't have a Shield to block, would likely fall on the spot after two or three precise shots.

And now.

Right above Shen Mu's head, the figures of 10 Rhodok Sharpshooters quietly appeared.

As if standing on top of a watchtower.

They began to precisely shoot at Shen Mu and the area within about 50 meters around him, as if in a competition!

Just like now.

Whoosh!

A high-quality Steel Crossbow Bolt was instantly shot from the Sniper Crossbow by terrifying elasticity.

Carrying a shriek that tore through the air.

Before Shen Mu could react, holding a Torch and a Germanic Sword.

It whizzed past his ear.

Stirring up several strands of black hair.

Bang!

Then it instantly embedded itself right in the middle of the skull of a Ghoul that was still at the edge of the darkness, in the Gray Fog-shrouded area, staring fiercely at Shen Mu and the others!

And that Ghoul didn't even have a subconscious reaction, the pale blue Soul Fire in its eye sockets flickered.

Then it fell backward with a thud, heavily onto the ground!

No, it should be said that it instantly fell to the ground.

Then.

Only then did the Soul Fire in its eye sockets flicker, because the Steel Crossbow Bolt had severed the Negative Energy Circuit in its skull, completely extinguishing it.

This also meant that this Ghoul had been shot dead on the spot!

"Hooray!"

The surrounding new immigrants immediately cheered.

Even the Lake Rats Recruits and the Swadian Soldiers who had come along, now had looks of surprise on their faces.

Such a seemingly powerful Ghoul was actually killed with a single blow.

Since it could be killed.

Then, with so many weapons and sharp tools in their hands, what were they afraid of?!

"Roar!" The death of that Ghoul immediately aroused the anger of the other Ghouls in the surrounding darkness.

Ghoul after Ghoul began to break through the Gray Fog and entered the range of the Torch held by Shen Mu.

Their claws raised.

Carrying the hatred and killing intent of Undead Monsters towards the living, they wanted to engage in close combat with Shen Mu and the others.

For the undead themselves, having lost their intelligence and only possessing the most basic instincts of feeding and killing like creatures, close-quarters combat was their only option.

But for the Rhodok Sharpshooters, who preferred to stay put, set up a Defensive Formation, and then calmly shoot with their Sniper Crossbows.

This current situation.

Was their dream, the best scenario for active, close-range targets!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One after another, the sounds of bowstrings vibrating appeared above Shen Mu's head.

The Rhodok Sharpshooters, separated by a different space-time, stood coldly and mercilessly on their watchtower, precisely shooting at any enemy who dared to approach Shen Mu.

So much so that these 10 Rhodok Sharpshooters had even started a shooting competition.

They were like hunters shooting prey.

Aiming for the best effect of killing the enemy on the spot.

So, after the sound of the bowstrings vibrating above Shen Mu's head ended.

Ghoul after Ghoul, with arrows in their skulls, lay on the ground, looking as ridiculous as drunken men.

They had no deterrent power whatsoever!

"Let's go!" Shen Mu, at this moment, completely ignored the Ghouls that were falling one by one with the sound of the bowstrings vibrating.

Instead, he raised his Germanic Sword and took advantage of this opportunity to lead the soldiers and immigrants to continue running into the Apartment.

Shen Mu knew very well.

This shooting competition of the 10 Rhodok Sharpshooters would only last for 10 minutes.

The time was very short.

He needed to quickly bring everyone back to his apartment room on the seventh floor.

Moreover, right now, it seemed as if those undead monsters were appearing endlessly in the darkness and gray fog.

But within a small area.

That is, within the radius of twenty to thirty meters illuminated by the torch Shen Mu held up and the torches in the hands of the immigrants behind him.

They were the ones who had the numerical advantage!

Breaking through the ghoul's obstruction.

Shen Mu personally led the Swadian Footmen to cover the rear, while letting the Lake Rats Recruits, those thugs who usually loved to extort and blackmail, the Tier 2 Units in the Mount & Blade: Warband World, lead the charge towards the stairs, armed with Small Bladed Axes and Kite Shields.

He let these 10 Lake Rats Recruits clear the way, smashing the undead monsters that had reappeared on the stairs in the darkness and gray fog.

Leading the new immigrants, they rushed towards the top floor.

The small yet highly lethal Small Bladed Axe, which was also quite heavy, was like a fish in water in this complex and narrow environment.

Moreover, this stairwell was similar to a ship's cabin.

Allowing those who were already accustomed to fighting in such environments, even in places where the Sturgia Kingdom dared not engage these Lake Rats thugs in the Great Lake region.

The efficiency of the Lake Rats Recruits, the lowest-level members of the Lake Rats, in combat.

Was actually stronger than the Tier 3 Swadian Footmen!

"Let's go too!"

Shen Mu, of course, couldn't choose to completely cover the rear at this time.

Completely covering the rear would be equivalent to seeking death.

Besides, right above them, time was almost up, and the firing frequency of those Rhodok Sharpshooters had also slowed down.

So Shen Mu, leading 10 Swadian Footmen, turned around and entered the stairwell as well.

Taking advantage of the fact that no new undead monsters had yet appeared.

They quickly ascended the stairs.

And arrived on the seventh floor.

Pushing open the Fire Door, under the cover of the Swadian Militia and Lake Rats Recruits, they quickly rushed towards his apartment room.

After going down, up, and fighting.

Shen Mu had already started breathing heavily.

The soldiers around him were also the same.

They were all living humans, not NPCs in games who had no stamina bar limitations.

Of course they would get tired!

"With so much new strength gained this time, my power can increase a lot."

Shen Mu was tired but excited.

Supported by two Swadian Footmen, he also quickly walked towards the room door.

But before leaving.

The corner of Shen Mu's eye also looked towards the area opposite the Elevator Room, which was blocked by the wall.

To be precise, it should be the Spiritual Realm Scene that could be entered by pushing open the door.

"I heard that if you're lucky, you can obtain a Spiritual Realm Mark in a Spiritual Realm Scene."

"Some Spiritual Realm Marks can even grant the inheritance of a Spiritual Realm Professional, or simply give you the identity of a Spiritual Realm Lord!"

"At worst, you can gain the allegiance and followers of some Spiritual Realm Creatures."

Information flashed in Shen Mu's mind at this moment.

His eyes were also somewhat eager.

In his previous life's memory, Shen Mu still clearly remembered that in this suburban area near the city.

There was another guy who had the identity of a Spiritual Realm Lord and was loyal to over three hundred Wood Elves.

He occupied a large area.

He even created an organization called the 'Green Leaf Group', gathering many people with Spiritual Realm Marks.

And in the legends, the starting point of that guy's rise was obtaining the identity of a Spiritual Realm Lord in a Spiritual Realm Scene!

Clang! The apartment's Security Door was directly closed.

At this time, Shen Mu also returned to the room.

The bonfire was burning brightly.

Candles were lit.

The room was packed with Human Race.

At this moment, they were all panting heavily, either slumped in corners or sitting on miscellaneous items.

However, their gazes and expressions were all quite excited.

Looking at Shen Mu, who came in last because he was covering the rear, they all struggled to stand up, respectfully bowing with their hands on their chests.

"Greetings! We salute you! Lord Shen Mu!"

The new immigrants and new soldiers who were actively received and even had their rear covered were genuinely grateful at this moment.
