Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 132: The Unscrupulous Lord of Gaoya Castle, Follow My BMW (4000 words)
The wind was biting cold in the wilderness, and the endless wasteland added a sense of desolation.

The arrival of a group of people at this moment added a bit of vitality.

If you look down from the sky, you will find that a black-armored guard team of no more than fifty people has neat formation, without a single flaw, and even their movements seem to be controlled by the same person.

This kind of visual shock continues to circulate in everyone's heart.

Knight Skye, who was thinking about something, was shocked. He really didn't expect that the guards of Gaoya Castle could have such a condensed performance.

Especially since they are a group of orc barbarians.

You know, the individual fighting power of the orcs is naturally beyond doubt, but getting them to line up in an orderly manner is even more difficult than getting a nun to stop having sexual desire.

"Levi, you really scared me." Leah's voice came, but the bright eyes staring at the High Cliff Castle guards clearly showed that her words did not mean any blame at all.

Leah had always heard from Highcliff Castle about various stories of defeating enemies that were ten times their size with inferior forces, but this kind of oral news was often exaggerated.

However, after seeing the elite soldiers and brave generals of Gaoyabao with her own eyes, she realized that the stories that had spread to Bailiu City were completely true.

She stretched out her jade-white little hand to Levi, and the lord very tactfully raised his hand to hold it and helped her get off the carriage.

"Even though I'm in the distant White River City, I've heard a lot about Gaoya Castle. Levi, you've become the hottest topic in the tavern now." Leah said with a bright smile on her face, unable to hide her excitement.

"yawn!"

But just as she finished speaking, the girl in the aristocratic dress sneezed.

When she came here, Leia had expected that the wilderness would be colder than Bailiu City, so she had already put on a thick long skirt. However, she still underestimated the cold wind here. It was like being stared at by the undead, making people feel cold from the bottom of their hearts.

Just when she didn't know what to do, a warm lord's robe was draped over her body, and the furry collar made of unknown animal hair warmed her cheeks.

The sudden appearance of the robe made her feel upset and her face turned red. She didn't know if it was because she was too cold.

"The north is colder than Bailiu City. The cold wind here is like a steel knife scraping at the bones, drilling straight into the collar." Levi took off his robe and put it on Leah, smiling slightly: "Miss Leah, please don't dislike this robe because it was worn by me."

"Levi, what are you wearing?"

Looking at Levi who was left with only a white linen shirt, Leah was moved and worried, and hurriedly wanted to take off her coat and return it.

It’s not that she was being pretentious. She could feel the cold even though she was wearing a thick long skirt, let alone Levi who was only wearing a thin shirt.

It would be unacceptable in every way if his only vassal fell ill.

"You know me. With my physique, let alone this cold wind, I would still jump into the icy lake in the Arctic to warm up."

Levi plucked his biceps proudly.

He did not lie. His physique was no longer that of a human. He could be said to be immune to cold and heat. He wore this robe because he was poor and had no decent clothes. He could only wear the robe that Christina had specially embroidered for him as a return gift.

Seeing Levi suddenly lose his noble image and become a commoner, Leah couldn't help but raise her lips slightly, "I feel more familiar with your current look."

After carefully looking at Levi's graceful and agile cheetah-like figure, Leah did not mention returning the clothes, but just tightened her collar.

"I am now a lord after all, so I have to take care of my image."

Levi stretched lazily. He originally wanted to keep his composure and maintain the image of a noble lord.

But I was too tired to pretend.

"Miss Leah, let's set off back to Highcliff Castle. It's very cold outside."

Although Levi is not afraid of the cold, he still has to consider the people in Gaoya Castle. The orcs wearing iron armor are now like wearing ice.

In other words, they can survive because of their strong physique, but Levi doesn't want to freeze these big babies.

He has invested at least three or four thousand gold grams into this team, and every member of them is a gold nugget.

"Okay." Leah nodded. They had been traveling for seven or eight days, sleeping in the open air. The soldiers had no carriage to shelter them from the wind and rain. They were already exhausted and urgently needed a place to rest.

Levi held her slightly cold little hand and prepared to put her on the carriage.

Unexpectedly, Miss Leah shook her head and said, "Levi, I'll ride with you. It's boring to stay in the carriage all the time. It's a good opportunity to see the scenery in the wilderness."

Of course, my lord, there is no objection. These days, Leah is the most distinguished guest of High Cliff Castle. As long as she is happy, she can do whatever she wants. The main thing is to satisfy the emotions of this lord.

"Ms. Leah, this is not in line with your status."

At this time, the personal knight who had been accompanying him couldn't help but remind him tactfully.

Levi took a look at the knight. He was about 1.8 meters tall, a little shorter than him, with a strong build, red hair, and a slightly childish face. He looked to be in his twenties.

The calluses on his hands were very thick, and one could tell at a glance that he was a swordsman who had practiced swordsmanship very hard.

Levi knew exactly what he was thinking. He was just worried that if Leah stayed with him, she would be putting her own safety in his hands.

"Knight Kale, please put away this idea." Leah's face was serious, "Baron Levi is definitely the person I trust the most."

To Leah, even her own aunt, the Duchess of the North, was not as trustworthy as the knight she personally appointed.

Under the circumstances back then, Levi didn't tie her up and give her to Damon in exchange for wealth, let alone now.

Kale hesitated to speak.

He was temporarily promoted by Duke Florina and appointed as Leah's personal knight, whose duty was to protect her safety.

Therefore, he naturally could not watch Leah and the Lord of High Cliff Castle leave alone.

But Leah's determination made him feel very embarrassed.

"Knight, if I had wanted, I, the lord, would have been the guardian knight beside Miss Leah. And you? I'm afraid you're still serving as someone's squire."

Levi just smiled and told the unknown past between him and Leia.

When he was just canonized, Leah invited him to become a guardian knight, but he refused because he had no woman in his heart.

Hearing this, Kale was a little surprised.

The Guardian Knight is a more special position than the Personal Knight, both in terms of status and closeness.

Generally speaking, they are selected from the companions who have accompanied them since childhood and grew up with their monarchs. The relationship between the two naturally needs no elaboration.

Kale didn't expect that the Lord of High Cliff Castle would be invited to become a guardian knight after he came of age. He looked at Leah in disbelief, wanting to seek verification.

"Yes, I originally wanted to invite Baron Levi to be my guardian knight, but he refused." Leah nodded as a matter of course.

These are all facts and there is nothing that cannot be said.

Compared to Levi, this knight named Kale actually had many things that made her dissatisfied, but as a superior, she would not show it. Kale looked dejected, it turned out that he was the superfluous one.

The Lord of Highcliff Castle and Miss Leah have known each other for a long time.

Actually, it’s not his fault. Everyone knows that the Lord of Highcliff Castle is Miss Leah’s vassal, but no one knows the specific relationship between the two.

After helping Leah onto his docile yellow horse, Levi took over Knight Skye's majestic black horse. He had been eyeing it for a long time and wanted to ride it.

Levi lagged behind Leah by half a body, and the two of them walked slowly towards the High Cliff Castle in the distance.

The people from Gaoya Castle and the guards from Bailiu City were clearly separated and fell far behind the two men.

Because of Leah's behavior, it was obvious that she wanted to have a secret conversation with the Lord of High Cliff Castle, so no one would be so blind as to follow her too closely.

Kale lowered his head and followed the back of the group lifelessly. At this moment, a voice came from the front.

"Hey, boy, you're not going to give up like this."

Looking up, Kale smiled bitterly and called out, "Sir Knight Skye."

Sikai came to Kale's side, and the two walked side by side. "When I was your age, I also served as a personal knight for others. I know exactly what you are thinking."

"Miss Leah is indeed very beautiful, gentle and considerate. Girls like her are often very charming..."

He didn't continue speaking, but just blinked and smiled.

Kale's face flushed and he wanted to refute, but doing so would go against the chivalrous creed, so he could only keep a cold face and remain silent.

"Haha." Sikai had seen through his heart and said to himself, "I once served as a personal knight for a very beautiful monarch. To be honest, all men like beautiful women. Naturally, I also admired my monarch."

Having said this, Sikai stopped talking abruptly.

This made Kale, who had been listening carefully, unable to hold back. After hesitating for a moment, he took the initiative to ask, "What happened next?"

Sikai smiled proudly. No one knew how to control these young knights better than him. Then he looked like he was reminiscing. "Later, I realized one thing. Some things are not meant to be yours."

"What we need to do is not to have inappropriate thoughts about things that do not belong to us. That will lead you into an abyss. We just need to protect the things that belong to us."

"Isn't that black horse yours?" Kale looked at the figure riding a black horse in the front and asked Sikai next to him cautiously.

Skye was silent and clenched his fists.

Okay, okay, I came here with good intentions to comfort you, and you come here to expose my shortcomings, right?

Damn the Lord of Highcliff Castle, my Big Black!

Knight Sikai kept cursing a certain unscrupulous lord in his heart. This was the first time he violated the knight's creed and cursed someone in his heart.

He had seen people who took food and money as they pleased, but this was the first time he saw someone who took horses as they pleased.

For a knight, his mount is more important than his wife!

Isn't this just another kind of minotaur?

Sikai finally sighed, "There's one more thing. If you're not strong enough, you won't even be able to protect your own things."

Sikai, who was persecuted by someone, now realized another truth.

If he could defeat the Lord of Highcliff Castle, he would at least have a knightly duel with him, and after giving him a severe lesson, he would drag him to his mount and ask him if he still wanted to ride.

"Boy, let me give you a piece of advice. The Lord of High Cliff Castle is a big shot whom we cannot afford to offend. Miss Leah is not on the same level as us. There are many beautiful women in the world, and there will always be one that belongs to you." Sikai patted Kale's shoulder and said earnestly.

To be honest, on the one hand, he always wanted to teach the young knights, but on the other hand, he didn't want this young knight to offend Lord Li by doing something irrational out of impulse, causing unrest for the entire guard team.

Finally, for insurance purposes, he raised his eyebrows and said with a sly smile, "There are beauties of all races in the brothel in Bailiu City. As long as you have money, she will belong to you, and there will be different beauties every day!"

Kale looked stunned, as if he was meeting this knight with chivalrous virtues for the first time.

"Ahem, as the Knight Commander I didn't go. I just listened to what Old Gray said."

Sikai used righteous words to clear himself of the suspicion.

"believe it or not!"

Looking at Kale who still had a look of doubt on his face, Sikai said something harsh and left quickly, his back looking somewhat hasty.

Kale finally hesitated for a while, then jumped on his horse and hung far behind the two lords.

On the other side, two people who didn't care at all about what their subordinates thought were chatting casually.

"Levi, I didn't expect that you actually opened up a territory in the wilderness." Leah's tone was full of admiration.

In recent decades, countless pioneering lords have flocked to the wilderness of Debe, but only a few have been able to gain a foothold.

She knew that Levi had exchanged those orc guards from Aunt Florina for Jinke, but she didn't expect that they had been trained by Levi into what they are now.

Even Koren's carefully selected White Robe Guards were not so elite.

"In fact, you also have a share of the credit for this."

Levi looked at the dark clouds in the sky and replied.

He felt that it would snow in the wilderness within the next few days, but he didn't know what the difference was between the snow in the wilderness and that in the south.

"What credit can I have?"

Leia frowned, unable to understand how Levi could have come to the wilderness alone to open up new horizons and how her staying in Bailiu City could have helped him.

"Those kilks served as my start-up capital."

Levi smiled slightly and gave a hint.

Leah's thoughts were brought back to a few months ago. It had only been a few months since she escaped from Coron City, but now it seemed as if more than a year had passed. It felt so far away.

After a long while, Leah sighed and looked carefully at the overly young and handsome face beside her, "Levi, you are really different from before."

"Haha, that's of course different. I only had one blade eight back then, and now I have one blade nine, but you're still a shorty."

Levi's seriousness only lasted for a few short sentences before it suddenly shattered and he said with a smile.

"That's right. I don't know what you ate to grow so fast. I didn't grow any taller at all."

Regarding this, Leah nodded in agreement.
