21 Chapter 21: Bountiful Harvest

Soon, Su Mu arrived at a hill after being guided by the fierce tiger.

The fierce tiger walked to an empty space on the hill. Suddenly, the tiger roared and patted the ground with its claws.

Su Mu looked at the ground under the fierce tiger's feet. There seemed to be something buried there.

Su Mu walked forward and dug up the soil. Soon, he found two books buried within the ground.

Su Mu picked them up and glanced at the title of the books.

'Black Crusader Cavalry Skill Book'

'Sky-Piercing Blade'

Su Mu immediately summoned the system and looked at the information of the two books.

[Black Crusader Cavalry Skill Book] (Disabled)

[Description: The Black Crusaders are the most valiant warriors in the world. Under the steely cavalry, not a single inch of land would be left.]

[Attributes: Level-A commander's book fragment. Attributes of all the members in the formation will receive +10%. Currently unavailable!]

…...

[Sky-Piercing Blade]

[Description: A blade that cuts through the rainbow, piercing the sky and breaking the ground apart!]

[Attributes: Level 8 Blade Skill. Click here to learn.]

Looking at the book in his hand, Su Mu couldn't help but widen his eyes!

After all, following the establishment of the barracks, Su Mu could only obtain the most basic military unit skills in the barracks.

If he wanted other more exquisite martial arts, he would need players to explore on their own.

Without a warning, an unexpected harvest happened at this time. 

"Good stuff!"

Looking at the 'Sky-Piercing Blade' in his hand, Su Mu could not help but reveal a hint of joy on his face.

He directly clicked to learn it.

In an instant, a surge of enlightening blade skill and experience was instilled into his mind. If Su Mu's blade skill was comparable to an apprentice, then now, he had become the eldest senior brother!

His strength increased once again.

As for the other one, 'Black Crusader Cavalry Skill Book', Su Mu didn't know what conditions were required in order to use it.

Su Mu had never heard of such a thing as the commander's military book.

However, from it being a Level-A alone, the 'Black Crusader Cavalry Skill Book' might be a better thing than the 'Sky-Piercing Blade'.

Unfortunately, it was currently incomplete.

Su Mu still knew a thing or two about the Black Crusaders.

They were an elite cavalry under the western king during the Middle Ages. The soldiers were valiant, like tigers and leopards, attacking the enemy from thousands of miles. Their combat power was outstanding, and they were called the Black Crusader Cavalry!

"An incomplete commander's book?"

Su Mu frowned and pondered for a while.

In other words, there wasn't only one 'Black Crusader Cavalry Skill Book'. Once all the fragments were gathered, it would be a Level-A commander's book.

However, even if it was an incomplete book, Su Mu did not know how to use it.

This did not seem to be something that current players could come into contact with at the game's current phase.

"I'll just let the fragment be. Even so, it's enough for now!"

Su Mu put away the 'Sky-Piercing Blade' and 'Black Crusader Cavalry Skill Book', then looked at the obedient tiger beside him.

"Since you acknowledge me as your master, I'll give you a name."

The tiger was the king of all beasts in the mountain, and this one was a white tiger. Su Mu said the words casually.

"From now on, you'll be called White King."

The tiger's body was still drenched in blood, and there were many wounds from the axe, but the injury was not serious.

"Today, the villagers should be able to become militiamen, right?"

Su Mu prepared to return to the barracks.

He wanted to know how many people had changed jobs to become militiamen. If the villagers all became militiamen, then they could learn the 'Black Crusader Cavalry Skill Book'!

And now that he held military power, he could naturally choose himself to become the commander.

When the time comes, his own strength will increase again!

Very quickly, Su Mu rode White King and returned to the barracks.

"General Su, you're back?"

Seeing Su Mu return to the barracks, everyone surrounded him.

Su Mu nodded and turned to look at Yale, asking, "Have the villagers all reached the requirements for becoming a militiaman?"

Yale nodded and said excitedly, "Reporting to General, we've all become militiamen!"

Everyone was very excited.

After becoming a militiaman, they felt that their physical fitness had improved by a large margin. At the same time, their minds were filled up with numerous experiences of fighting enemies on the battlefield!

It could be said that all of the citizens could not be compared to their past selves!

This was the resulting enhancement of becoming a militiaman!

"Very good."

Su Mu glanced at the panel and found that there were indeed nine militiamen under him. He immediately nodded his head in satisfaction.

Thereafter, Su Mu took out the 'Black Crusader Cavalry Skill Book' and said, "From today onwards, we will learn this military skill book to resist the crisis that will come soon!"

"The crisis may be in the form of a beast, a monster, or something else. Protect the village from being attacked. Do you have the confidence to do so?!"

All the people nodded and answered in unison, "Protect Chang'an Village! Resist the foreign enemies!"

As for the series of events that happened in the barracks, Avril was completely unaware of it in the real world.

When she thought of the bandits that would invade soon, Avril felt uneasy.

"I trust Su Mu. He will definitely have a way!"

Avril told herself in her heart.

When it came to Su Mu, perhaps it was because they had been through thick and thin together during this period of time, she inexplicably felt she could trust him.

Every time Avril recalled the scene of Su Mu returning to the village covered in blood, her heart would tremble.

"I must pass the novice protection period safely!"

Back in the barracks.

After announcing that the subjects were to learn the 'Black Crusader Cavalry Skill Book', a system notification was presented in Su Mu's eyes.

[The number of militiamen in the barracks has reached ten. The requirements to learn the 'Black Crusader Cavalry Skill Book' (Incomplete) have been met. Do you want to learn the 'Black Crusader Cavalry Skill Book'?]

"Yes."

Su Mu nodded without hesitation.

The names of all the subjects appeared in front of Su Mu.

Su Mu's own name was also among them.

[Please choose the commander...]

Su Mu naturally chose himself.

"I have chosen Su Mu as the commander!"

['Black Crusader Cavalry Skill Book' (Incomplete). The maximum mastery is 10%!]

"Current mastery is at 0%!"

Soon, some information about the 'Black Crusader Cavalry Skill Book' entered Su Mu's mind.

After browsing through the information of the 'Black Crusader Cavalry Skill Book', even Su Mu couldn't help but be shocked!

Because, even though the 'Black Crusader Cavalry Skill Book' was incomplete, it was a bit formidable!

Now, Su Mu finally understood the meaning of the description, "The Black Crusaders are the most valiant warriors in the world!"

What was meant by valiant?

One against a hundred!

When learning the fragment of 'Black Crusader Cavalry Skill Book', once the mastery reaches 10%, even though the subjects will not be able to fight against a hundred with one person alone, fighting against ten single-handedly will definitely not be a problem with the guidance of the commander!

If they could obtain the complete 'Black Crusader Cavalry Skill Book', perhaps, under the leadership of the commander, the soldiers could really fight single-handedly against a hundred!

It was terrifying!

However, the 'Black Crusader Cavalry Skill Book' also had a weakness.

That would be the commander in charge of the army!

As the saying went, 'To catch a thief, one must first catch the king. Once the commander died, the other people would not receive any buffs.'

Hence, the commander was extremely crucial.

The 'Black Crusader Cavalry Skill Book' was equivalent to a group buff. Only when everyone was together would it take effect.

If the number of soldiers increased, it would not be long before the Chang'an Village would have a terrifying army of tigers and leopards!

"It's a bit too whimsical."

Su Mu smiled and shook his head. Then, he handed the 'Black Crusader Cavalry Skill Book' to Yale for everyone to watch and learn.

"Do you want to learn the 'Black Crusader Cavalry Skill Book'?"

"Yes!"
