As they reached the entrance to the residential area on the first floor, Shen Mu paused, his gaze sweeping across the dark, empty space. He could feel an eerie presence lurking in the shadows, waiting for them. He took a deep breath and whispered, "Stay alert. We're not alone."
Suddenly, a low growl echoed through the darkness, and a pair of glowing red eyes appeared in the distance. A figure emerged from the shadows, revealing a hulking Zombie, its body covered in filthy rags and its mouth dripping with blood. It was accompanied by several other Undead, their moans filling the air.
Shen Mu's grip tightened on his Germanic Sword, and he barked, "Formation! Shield wall!"
The Swadian Footmen quickly formed a shield wall, their shields interlocking to create a solid barrier. The Swadian Militia took up positions behind them, their hunting crossbows ready to fire.
The Undead horde shuffled towards them, their numbers growing with each passing second. Shen Mu knew they had to act fast. He reached into his mind, activating the "Kingdom of Rhodoks Top Shooting Competition" item.
Instantly, 10 Rhodok Sharpshooters appeared on the rooftops surrounding the area, their Sniper Crossbows glinting in the moonlight. They took aim at the Undead, and a volley of bolts flew through the air, felling several Zombies with precise shots.
The Undead horde faltered, but they quickly recovered and pressed on. Shen Mu knew they had to engage the enemy directly. He raised his sword and shouted, "Charge!"
The Swadian Footmen pushed forward, their shields clashing against the Undead's makeshift weapons. The battle was fierce, with both sides refusing to back down. Shen Mu fought with skill and ferocity, his Germanic Sword cutting down Zombie after Zombie.
Meanwhile, the Swadian Militia fired their hunting crossbows, their bolts finding their marks in the Undead's heads. The Lake Rats Recruits, who had been incorporated into the immigrant team, joined the fight, their weapons and fighting style unfamiliar but no less deadly.
The battle raged on, with both sides suffering losses. Shen Mu knew they had to end it quickly. He reached into his mind again, activating the "Immigrant Tide (Small Scale)" item.
A portal opened up in the sky, and 20 Swadian Peasants emerged, their eyes wide with fear as they took in the battle below. They quickly joined the fight, their pitchforks and farming tools adding to the chaos.
With the new arrivals, the tide of the battle began to turn in Shen Mu's favor. The Undead horde was slowly pushed back, their numbers dwindling. Finally, the last Zombie fell, and the area was silent once more.
Shen Mu surveyed the battlefield, his breath ragged. He had done it. He had defended his new home and welcomed the immigrants from the Kingdom of Swadia. He turned to the 20 Swadian Peasants, a smile on his face.
"Welcome, my new friends. We have much work to do, but together, we can build a new life here in this world."
