Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 137 The Compassionate Lord

Regarding the training of soldiers and raising their levels, the lord had been arranging for veterans to lead new soldiers and find some ignorant natives in the wilderness to gain experience.

But first the dragon army attacked, and then the negotiations with the group of minotaurs failed before they could even get warm. They had to rush to welcome Leah's arrival.

It was not until now that Levi arranged to train the troops again.

There are more and more bandit groups heading south from the depths of the wilderness, and it is basically easy to find them.

This made the Bailiu City guards stationed in Gaoya Fort during this period very curious about one thing. Every day before dawn, the guards of Gaoya Fort left in the morning light, and only came back at sunset, covered in blood and looking tired.

They didn't know what the Gaoyabao guards were doing, but they thought it was just to clear out the bandits and robbers who had gathered near Gaoyabao.

What they really couldn't understand was that they looked tired at night, but became full of energy the next day, as energetic as a wild boar in heat.

"My Lord, please forgive me for being blunt. As the Kexianri tribe gets closer to High Cliff Castle, there will be more and more bandits. It is a waste of effort for you to have the guards go out and clear the weeds every day."

In the lord's hall, Knight Skye expressed his opinion.

Even a military novice knows that the best way at this time is to retreat and defend.

The fact that this lord has so many impressive military achievements proves that he is at least proficient in military affairs, and it is impossible for him not to understand this principle.

But Sikai just couldn't understand why Lord Li sent out all the guards except the guards on alert at this time.

"Sikai, these bandit groups of varying sizes heading south may not be worth mentioning to Gaoya Castle, but they are like tigers that choose their prey to devour those who come near the border." Levi's face was full of compassion, like a kind-hearted pastor who chose to feed the tiger himself because he was worried that the tiger would eat him. "I don't expect to stop them all, but at least I can reduce the number of bandits and give these villages the strength to resist."

According to the stories circulating in Bailiu City, this lord had become a bloody butcher who loved beheading and chopping people apart.

But now there is no trace of the charm in the story.

It can be seen that the stories circulating in this world are a mixture of good and bad, and many of them do not make sense.

Sikai was in awe, and he admitted that his previous evaluation of the Lord of Highcliff Castle was a bit too one-sided.

Lord Li might be outspoken, careless, and sometimes as rogue as a mercenary, but all these cannot conceal the fact that he has a kind heart.

"Levi, there are very few nobles who are as worried about commoners who have nothing to do with you as you are."

Leah held the warm teacup in her little hands, her face full of admiration.

"If you join the Holy See, you might become a holy son loved by the common people and preach the way of peace."

In her memory, this knight led her out of Cologne and showed no mercy during the fight. Even when facing a young apprentice in the stable who was about to capture her and hand her over to Damon, he cut off half of his arm with one sword.

I didn't expect there is another side to it now.

It seems that her understanding of Levi is still too superficial.

"Haha, no, no." Even though Levi was thick-skinned, he couldn't help but blush at the praise. "Any compassionate person would not sit idly by in the face of such a situation."

Only Bai Ruishina, who was familiar with the lord's character, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. It was so painful to hold it back that she could only cough twice to cover it up.

If those villages were the subjects of this lord, they would definitely be able to do what he said, but if not, faced with this situation, they might even take out a bag of melon seeds and look at them with relish, lamenting that these civilians were really unlucky to have an inactive lord, and that they might as well join High Cliff Castle.

"My good steward, if it really doesn't work, just drink more hot water." Levi stretched out his hand and pinched Bai Ruishina's little face, saying sarcastically.

He admitted that what he said just now was just a cover-up for the guards to gain experience and level up, and also a way to flatter himself.

However, it is said that a gentleman is judged by his deeds rather than his heart. The guards of Gaoyabao taking the initiative to go out and clean out these bandits will indeed reduce the number of bandits encountered by the villages along the border, giving them some resistance.

This is something that no one can fault.

"Hmph, Levi, don't even think about asking me to cook for you tonight."

Beristina angrily slapped away the lord's mischievous hand, her cheeks puffed up like a squirrel with a lot of harvest.

"Please don't, my good butler. I am wrong. I apologize to you. I was wrong just now. Please don't take it to heart, my Lord."

This really holds Levi's lifeline. In the entire High Cliff Castle, only Christina's cooking skills are acceptable.

If she didn't cook for herself and relied on those reckless men and thrifty aunties, the lord would starve to death.

"Ah... I'm not angry either."

Seeing the lord sincerely admitting his mistake, Beristina was a little at a loss and waved her hands in panic.

After all, she was just a subordinate of the lord and had no right to be angry.

"Haha, then I will forgive you generously." The lord laughed again, patted the white-haired girl's head, and named the dishes with a look of aftertaste, "Tonight I want to eat braised river fish and beef stewed with potatoes... Oh, remember to add more spicy food."

"Okay." Beristina's voice was as thin as a mosquito. She lowered her head, like a little white animal allowing the lord to pet her.

"Hmm, this still can't control you?"

Levi was very proud. If the steward gave him a little sweetness, he would be so happy that he couldn't sleep all night, and would even take the initiative to ask to work overtime.

Such a good worker with destiny can't be found even with a lantern.

"Levi, you guys have such a good relationship."

Leah said this with a sigh, and it was hard to tell whether the expression on her face was envy or something else.

No matter where they are placed, subordinates are subordinates, and superiors will never fight with their subordinates.

But this lord seemed to have no airs and could get along well with everyone in High Cliff Castle.

Sikai, who was standing by, was trying his best to make himself an inconspicuous object.

By the way, why did he get so crazy today that he wanted to come here?
Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, let’s eat.

The food in Gaoyabao is really good, it would be a shame not to eat it...

"Bullshit! It's all my fault for being too pampered. Now their tails are almost up in the sky. Sooner or later, I will have to teach them a lesson." The lord cursed, reached out and snatched the bear paw in front of Zat, which had taken Zat most of the day to cover it with honey, and took two fierce bites.

Looking at the empty plate, Zat's character collapsed instantly, and in the end he could only suck the honey on his fingers to vent his anger.
