Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 131 Good day, Miss Leah

Regarding playing cards, why the lord can control the winning and losing purely by that trick of switching the cards.

Just at the stage of drawing cards, he can use his skillful techniques to replace the bad cards in his hand.

At present, there is only one kind of playing cards in the world, and there is no other kind, so naturally, the Lord is the only one who knows how to cheat.

Judging from the fact that Muto and Hogg’s heads are almost bald recently, you can tell how much they have suffered at his hands.

Not to mention that Sophia, the silver dragon, doesn't seem to be very smart. She is not good at playing but loves to play, yet she thinks she is very good at playing cards.

To beat her, the lord doesn't even need to look at the cards.

When the time was almost right, Levi gathered the soldiers and generals of Gaoya Fort who were ready to go, and led the team to a location about ten miles southwest of Gaoya Fort.

The troops from Bailiu City heading north to Gaoyabao usually take this road created by the caravan's wheels.

In ancient times, Boss Cao went out of the city to see Guan Yu off, and now Lord Li is coming ten miles away to welcome him and be crowned a king.

Levi felt that this story was good enough for bards to sing throughout the continent.

"Damn it, there wasn't even a clerk to record this kind of scene. What a huge loss." Levi glanced around, looking depressed.

On the left is Highcliff Castle's housekeeper, Christina Beth, wearing a northern-style azure wolf-fur robe and with a solemn face.

On the right was Zat, who was fully armed, wearing cold black armor and a huge exaggerated bull-horned helmet. At this moment, he was picking his nose with a bored look on his face.

The Lord simply skipped it.

Behind him were the leaders of Highcliff Castle and the orc guards standing solemnly.

After a thorough search, we found that except for Beristina and Mil who could read, all the others were illiterate. Not to mention being clerks, they couldn't even write a single big character.

The position of clerk requires one to follow the lord closely and record his great achievements, which is obviously not suitable for a man, so Mir simply ignored it.

There was only Beristina left, but no matter how thick-skinned Levi was, he was embarrassed to let Beristina, who was in charge of all matters such as logistics and internal affairs of Gaoya Castle, work part-time as a clerk.

If it were in his previous life, a unscrupulous boss like him would have been fired by his employees long ago.

In terms of the military force of Gaoya Castle, with Zat, Muto, Hogg and Orak, it is enough, but there is a shortage of talent in the civilian field. Levi feels that the search for talent in this area should be put on the agenda.

A cold wave has hit the northern wilderness, and the temperature has plummeted in the past few days, making it unbearable for the women, children, and elderly people in Gaoya Castle.

The exquisite robe that Christina was wearing was purchased by Levi specifically for Lorena and given to Christina.

It can be considered as a little reward for her hard work for so long.

As for the salary... Levi, who had never paid the leader of Gaoyabao, chose to ignore it.

After all, Gaoyabao is currently in the start-up stage and everyone is joining in to start the business together. It would be hurtful if we ask for too much money.

As the fourth scout team reported the news, a convoy came into view.

In the front were two armored knights, holding the flag of House Martell of Whiteriver and leading the way.

Behind him followed a cavalry team of about a hundred people, who were well-equipped with armor, spears, bows, and swords. They were in neat formation and had solemn spirits. They were an elite ranger squad.

They are often responsible for serving as vanguards and clearing the way, and their personal fighting power is extremely outstanding in the army.

Behind them was an exquisite carriage with everyone guarding it in the middle. Apparently, Leah was sitting inside. Levi was stunned by the luxurious team.

It was unclear whether Florina, who had equipped so many guards, valued Leah or wanted to show off the background of a duke to him, the pioneer lord.

But no matter which action it was, the lord said that she had successfully achieved her goal.

Judging from the level of sophistication of their equipment alone, these cavalrymen were clearly a level stronger than those of Gaoyabao. Of course, when facing the guards of Gaoyabao, the speed at which they were defeated was directly proportional to their superior equipment.

"Sir, long time no see."

Just as the lord was about to step forward and greet them, a familiar voice came from one of the armored knights carrying the flag.

"Hey, I was wondering who it was. It turned out to be the famous Knight Sikai." The Lord teased, "So you've fallen on hard times? Why are you doing menial work like carrying a flag?"

One of the knights lifted his visor, and it was Sikai whom he had met a while ago. He smiled helplessly: "Sir, you still like to joke as always."

"If we talk about who is the most famous person in the North right now, it's you, the dragon slayer who fought off the Wilderness Alliance with inferior forces and defended the iron mines. You also won a comprehensive victory against the dragon army. The most famous one is you."

As he spoke, Sikai's eyes were filled with curiosity.

Less than a month had passed since I last left Highcliff Castle, and unexpectedly, this lord had done something shocking again.

Slay the dragon...

From the time he was born until now, he had only heard of the dragon slayer in stories. He didn't expect to meet a real dragon slayer today.

"Alas, alas, they are all false reputations." The lord waved his hand embarrassedly, but his eyes clearly expressed "If you can say it, just say more."

Sikai pretended not to notice. This lord was as shameless as his name. If he continued to praise him, he would only make things worse. He changed the subject and said, "I was originally a flag bearer. I have nothing better to do so I want to reminisce about these memorable days."

There was a nostalgic look on Sikai's face, and it seemed that he was also a person with many stories.

"I didn't expect you to be so nostalgic. Now that you're here, stay a few more days. I can't say anything else about High Cliff Castle, but I'll definitely give you plenty of wine."

Levi patted the flag on the shoulder of Sikai, who dismounted from his horse, and said in a very proud tone.

"I guess I won't have a chance to drink this time." Sikai shook his head, his face a little heavy.

"It seems very serious." The two looked at each other knowingly.

While the two were chatting, the escorting knights separated their formation, leaving a path long enough for the carriages to pass for a day.

The exquisite carriage stopped steadily in front of everyone with the coachman's superb driving skills.

The maid accompanying the carriage lifted the door, revealing the scene inside.

There are not so many surprises and accidents in the world. The person in the carriage is Leah Iseli, whom I haven’t seen for a long time.

"Good day, Miss Leah."

Levi touched his chest, bowed slightly, and performed a noble salute.

The Gaoyabao guards behind him, who had rehearsed long ago, made a "snap" sound, and their leg armor slammed together. They stood upright and solemnly, and slapped their right fists on their breastplates. The crisp sound of "swish" resounded throughout the wilderness.

The all-black-armored guards saluted, and an unspoken sense of iron and blood permeated the air, making it clear that this team must be a strong army forged through blood and fire.
