Extremely Generous Rewards

[Because you successfully defended this Swadian Stronghold, your name has spread throughout the Kingdom of Swadia.]

[Your Legendary Reputation in the 'Kingdom of Swadia' +1. (Additional +1 Legendary Reputation in the Swadian Kingdom Robber circle)]

[20 'Swadian Footmen' who were routed from the Sargoth front line heard of your deeds and plan to come and join you. Due to your Legendary Reputation in the Kingdom of Swadia, an additional 10 Swadian Footmen have also followed and joined your Stronghold. (+30 Swadian Footmen)]

[30 'Swadian Refugees' who fled from the Sargoth area heard of your deeds and plan to come and join you. Due to your Legendary Reputation in the Kingdom of Swadia, an additional 20 Swadian Refugees are also willing to come and join your Stronghold. (+50 Swadian Peasants)]

[The invading Nords are as fierce as evil dragons. The fall of the capital Sargoth is already a foregone conclusion. The Kingdom of Swadia has fallen into chaos. A group of Robbers living in Sargoth unexpectedly obtained 5 trailers full of military provisions and are willing to escort them to join your Stronghold. (+25 Robbers)]

[You have obtained 1 mu of Wheat Field from the plains outside Sargoth. The soil is fertile and the wheat growing on it is extremely healthy and ready for harvest.]

[You have obtained 1000 Denars. And Robbers took advantage of the chaos in Sargoth to obtain an additional 1000 Denars. (+2000 Denars)]

[You have soldiers who can be upgraded...]

In front of Shen Mu's eyes, dense dialogue boxes began to appear.

One after another.

This was also why Shen Mu was sitting in his chair, his face stunned.

"30 Swadian Footmen, 50 Swadian Peasants, plus 25 Robbers, and 1 mu of Wheat Field and 2000 Denars..."

Shen Mu couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he saw this.

The harvest this time was too rich!

So rich that even he hadn't expected it!

And Shen Mu also specifically noticed the prompt for +1 point of Legendary Reputation in the Kingdom of Swadia.

"Before, when I let the Robber Narot go, it showed that I gained +1 point of Legendary Reputation in the Robber circle. This is also why I got the Robber Contact Point and why Narot returned."

Shen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the dialogue boxes in his retina that only he could see. He seemed to have discovered something.

"Now, I have not only gained +1 point of Legendary Reputation in the Kingdom of Swadia, but I can also accumulate it with the Legendary Reputation in the Robber circle, reaching +2 points."

The dialogue box showed it.

Including the rewards from the task "Invasion of Demon Troops", the original rewards after completion were doubled because of the Legendary Reputation!

One of the original rewards, 20 Deserters, was directly strengthened to 30 Swadian Footmen.

30 Refugees directly became 50 Swadian Refugees.

5 Military Provisions Trailers became 25 Robbers plus 5 Military Provisions Trailers.

The 1000 Denars obtained were also doubled to 2000 Denars.

Perhaps the only thing that didn't change was the 1 mu area of Wheat Field, this type of agricultural building.

[Ding! Deserters, Refugees, and Robbers from the Swadian Kingdom capital Sargoth (former) area have gathered together and plan to come and join you.]

[With their supreme reverence for you, they finally coincidentally turned around a forest before the brutal Nord Army caught up with them and arrived in the Corridor of your Seventh Floor Apartment.]

[Now, please welcome their arrival.]

In front of Shen Mu's eyes, the dialogue box refreshed again.

And on the seventh floor of the Stronghold Main House, outside Room 7040, which had calmed down but still condensed countless darkness and Gray Fog.

Figures began to appear.

Whoosh!

At the same time, there was the flickering light of fire in the space.

Those were many Torches.

As the number of nearly a hundred people materialized, they directly turned into substantial flames, dispelling the surrounding darkness and Gray Fog.

And they made those illusory figures more solid in this Corridor, finally completing their materialization.

At the forefront were Swadian Footmen wearing Chainmail, carrying Fan Shields, dragging Spears, and holding Torches. They looked extremely disheveled, quite tired, and frightened, and they quickly entered the Corridor, curiously and excitedly looking around the unfamiliar environment.

Behind these Swadian Footmen, there were also many Refugees wearing hoods and robes, looking dusty and displaced.

And in the Corridor, the last to appear were 5 trailers that had to be tilted to fit into this 1.5-meter wide Corridor.

Including 25 Robbers who were full of helplessness.

They looked at the tilted trailers, even the packages that were originally tied with ropes had spilled into the Corridor, completely blocking the entire Corridor. They all sighed, too uncomfortable to speak.

These military provisions and trailers were all spoils of war they had painstakingly picked up from the Sargoth area, and they were full of food.

Various precious butter, honey, olives, salted fish, and sausages, including cabbage, wheat, Bread, and so on.

There was even precious salt inside.

Now they were piled up here.

They couldn't deliver them to the Lord Shen Mu they admired and truly recognized from the bottom of their hearts, so of course they felt uncomfortable.

They all knew that they were some low-class Robbers.

If the Sheriff and Patrol Team saw them.

That would be ready-made political achievements.

They couldn't compare to the Swadian Footmen who were formerly part of the regular army and could be re-enlisted at any time, nor to the Refugees who were originally civilians.

Therefore, these Robbers truly wanted to prove their worth with something, such as the 5 Military Provisions Trailers they stumbled upon by chance.

"Who's there!"

Just as these Footmen, Refugees, and Robbers materialized and arrived in this world, before they could even react, firelight and several figures appeared around the corner of the Corridor ahead.

Immediately, a stern warning was issued: "Stand there! Don't move!"

"Wait! We... we are soldiers and Refugees from the Kingdom of Swadia... we've come to pledge allegiance to Lord Shen Mu!"

The Swadian Footmen in front immediately stood still.

The Footman at the very front raised the Torch in his hand, while handing his Spear and Germanic Sword to his comrade beside him, letting the firelight illuminate his empty hands, and took two steps forward to show his goodwill.

"That's right, we've come to pledge allegiance to Lord Shen Mu!" The other Swadian Footmen and Refugees also spoke up one after another.

At this moment, their expressions became excited.

Because the figures in the Corridor were also holding Torches, illuminating their appearance with the firelight.

Wearing Chainmail.

Carrying Fan Shields on their backs.

With Germanic Swords at their waists and Spears in their hands.

Beneath the chainmail coif integrated with the Chainmail were high nose bridges and golden-brown eyes, and their faces still held a serious expression.

This attire, this equipment, this demeanor.

It made these soldiers, Refugees, and Robbers, who had originally come from the Kingdom of Swadia, clearly understand.

These people.

Were their compatriots!

Combined with the strange yet orderly buildings, the ground covered in monster corpses, and the wounds being from Spears and swords.

How could they not understand...

That they had truly arrived in the other world belonging to Lord Shen Mu, which they had always longed to pledge allegiance to, by chance!?

"Refugees from the Kingdom of Swadia?" Ahead, the 5 patrolling Swadian Footmen frowned slightly.

Their gaze swept over the soldiers or Refugees who were indeed dressed as Swadians.

Their hands, which had been tightly gripping their weapons, relaxed slightly.

However, when these 5 Swadian Footmen glanced at the dark interior of Room 7040, which remained silent despite the noise from this side, their expressions changed.

So they immediately beckoned to these newly arrived fellow countrymen:

"Alright, leave that area and come with us to see Lord Shen Mu now! Knowing that you are Swadians, Lord Shen Mu will definitely be very happy."
