A dialogue box appeared somewhat abruptly on Shen Mu's retina.
It originated from a temporarily issued System Task.
"Awoo!"
Inside the Central Long Corridor, the distinct pig-like howls echoed in the confined, narrow space, making his eardrums throb faintly.
The corridor, which had been completely blocked, now had a passage cleared.
More bizarre Spiritual Realm Creatures, holding their weapons high, charged excitedly towards the Swadian Footmen who stood unmoving like reefs!
Among these Spiritual Realm Creatures, there were clearly Boss-level Creatures that still emitted a faint white glow.
But Shen Mu knew very well.
These were the Blue Star humans who had just swallowed that faint glowing substance, which was extremely noticeable even in the dim light, but he didn't know what it was!
Some thugs from the Diesel Company!
"The system said, special Rule Power, it seems it refers to this kind of thing."
Shen Mu looked at these Blue Star humans who resembled Spiritual Realm Creatures but were actually glowing all over, with this distinct characteristic, and his expression became slightly solemn.
The glowing things these Blue Star humans had just swallowed were definitely what the system mentioned, something with special Rule Power that needed to be analyzed after killing these enemy bosses!
"Annihilate these enemy bosses." Shen Mu mused, "That is, they must all die here."
This indeed required careful planning.
Thinking of this, Shen Mu turned his head and glanced at the Ballista next to him, which had already loaded a Javelin and was ready to fire, and gently gestured for it to stop firing.
The Ballista's power was too great. Although the fired Javelin could cause massive damage to the enemy's formation in a short time.
But once those so-called enemy bosses were startled and didn't dare to advance easily.
Or even turned around and retreated without hesitation.
At that time, for Shen Mu, who lacked the ability to pursue, it would be quite troublesome.
"Indeed, in the final analysis, I only considered defeating the enemy before, not annihilating them. The Apartment Stairwell designed indeed limited the performance of heavy cavalry's mobility."
Shen Mu admitted that this was his oversight.
Looking ahead.
The Swadian Footmen's Pike Square once again faced the charge of a new batch of Spiritual Realm Creatures.
Among them were also those guys from the Diesel Company, who had used items with special Rule Power to transform themselves into stronger, more ferocious, and more combat-effective Spiritual Realm Creature Elites, and he had an idea in his mind.
"I must show weakness to the enemy, making them believe they can break through my Pike Square."
Shen Mu's eyes flickered with dangerous light.
And the price.
Perhaps it would be casualties among the Swadian Footmen and the Lake Rats behind them, due to the Pike Square that was about to be overwhelmed.
"But it's all worth it." Shen Mu slowly raised his hand and said in a deep voice, "All Mercenary Crossbowmen, cease fire." After a slight pause, he also turned his head and instructed, "Order the Lake Rats members to stop throwing and prepare for close combat ten steps forward."
"Understood!" A Swadian Recruit waiting in the Castle Second Floor corridor immediately responded.
Then he turned around and went to relay the order.
As the order was given.
When the Contract Workers from the Outsourced Team, bringing their Spiritual Realm Followers, charged forward.
They suddenly felt the pressure greatly reduced!
The firepower that the Pigmen, who were routed and almost couldn't even reach the Pike Square, were facing, being shot dead on the spot by the deadly rain of arrows and javelins in front of the Pike Square, was reduced by nearly two-thirds!
Although there were still scattered Crossbow Bolts shooting down from above, they could still severely injure them if they hit vital points.
But more Gnolls, Wasteland Lizardmen, or Hobgoblins and other Spiritual Realm Creatures.
They were actually able to withstand the damage caused by these Crossbow Bolts and reach the Pike Square, using the weapons in their hands to briefly push aside the stabbing Spears, and then still very reluctantly using their lives to approach the main body of the Pike Square.
They were already performing much, much better than the Pigmen among the Orcs!
"Kill!" These Spiritual Realm Creature Elites, formed by the Frequency Resonance of Blue Star humans, roared, commanding their own type of followers around them to advance, using their lives to forcefully open a path in front of the Pike Square.
However, the eyes of these Blue Star humans, the Outsourced Captains from the Diesel Company, still showed a look of heartache.
Losing so many followers was truly unavoidable.
This would reduce their strength.
The bound souls, resonating with these Spiritual Realm Followers in normal times, would also be greatly weakened.
"I hope the Diesel Company can compensate for some losses when I go back."
This was the good reward these Outsourced Team Captains could hope for in their hearts: "Or, because of the merit of defeating this Human Race new Lord, I will have the opportunity to sign a Long-term Contract and completely join the Diesel Company, becoming an Official Employee!"
Of course, it wasn't just these Outsourced Teams who thought this way, their team members also thought the same.
They themselves were outsourced personnel who had been working with the Diesel Company for a long time.
Some even worked at the Diesel Company through third-party companies before the Necromantic Rules descended.
They can be considered relatively reliable outsourced personnel.
Therefore, the ninth and tenth outsourced teams are also relatively trusted outsourced teams.
Compared to the eleventh and twelfth outsourced teams, which are fixed temporary workers, the trust they receive is not just a little bit more. After all, the people in these two fixed temporary worker outsourced teams don't even have the qualification to receive allocated Mark Fragments.
For example, Zhang Caidong, who only joined for about half a year, is truly treated as a temporary worker.
He does the dirty and tiring work.
The salary, remuneration, and welfare distribution he receives are two-thirds less than that of official staff!
However, compared to the temporary teams that are only formed during the Black Tide, starting from the twelfth outsourced team, which are entirely composed of outsiders, they are much better off than those who couldn't join the Diesel Company teams because they have relatively fixed wages!
In this terrifying world where the Necromantic Rules occupy the night and Undead Monsters appear at all times.
Although everyone is forced to unite for various reasons.
But in the first half year when the Necromantic Rules first descended and everyone was confused and at a loss.
The feuds and malicious acts caused by the struggle for various resources led to mutual distrust, and everyone could only huddle in their own small nests seeking a sense of security. Even now, the trust in each other has not recovered.
Being able to join an organization, at least in terms of safety, can be guaranteed, which is naturally much better!
"Kill!"
Thinking of this, a surge of anger appeared in the eyes of these outsourced personnel of the Diesel Company.
Unconsciously, their eyes became bloodshot.
Filled with anger, hatred, and killing intent.
As well as a greedy desire for blood...
They drew their weapons and, for a moment, disregarded the sharp Pike Squares in front of them that were still like surging waves. They forcefully used their bodies to push forward!
Of course, those charging at the very front were the Spiritual Realm Followers of these outsourced personnel of the Diesel Company.
One by one, they were howling, using their lives to forcefully push against those Pike Squares.
Even if they grabbed the spearheads with their hands.
They would try their best to suppress the spears of this Pike Square, which was like a hedgehog, so that their companions behind could get closer to the main body of the Pike Square and break through it faster!
And amidst the fearless charge of these Spiritual Realm Creatures, the Pike Square, which was originally operating smoothly.
The stabbing waves finally slowly became sluggish.
More and more spears were grabbed.
Or directly stuck.
Layers of Spiritual Realm Creature corpses piled up.
The Swadian Footmen in the front row, even because they were completely suppressed under the corpses and couldn't pull out their spears, drew the Morning Stars from their waists, which were more suitable for extremely close combat and could also break armor, preparing for close-quarters combat!
"Hehehe hahahaha!"
And behind the corridor, Wu Hu, who had completed the Frequency Resonance with his 15 Spiritual Realm Follower Elites and transformed into a Boss-level Creature, let out a sinister laugh.
In his left hand, streaks of blood-red light were gradually dissipating.
And as they dissipated, they happened to fall upon the hundreds of contract workers from the outsourced teams and their Spiritual Realm Followers in front of him.
These blood-red lights finally landed on the heads of these people or Spiritual Realm Followers.
They directly penetrated them.
This is also why these outsourced contract workers and their followers were so angry.
"Mass Bloodlust, the innate spell of the Orcs. Although it's not as good as Single Target Bloodlust, the effect is still very obvious."
In Wu Hu's eyes, the bloodshot look also gradually intensified.
He crushed the last bit of faint blood-red light in his palm with a claw.
His pig snout split into a grin at the corners of his mouth, and he snorted with a sinister laugh, "The Pike Square is about to be breached. Next, it's time for us, our own people, to charge up and pluck the peach!"
"Heh hahaha!"
Not only Wu Hu, but also the official staff beside him let out bursts of sinister laughter.
Now, they were also impatient to completely defeat those Human Race troops!
