Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 143 Next Year I Will Promote You to Head of the Group

Levi nodded. He expected Leah to agree. After all, even though Florina was her mother's sister, she couldn't escape the fact that she was now living under someone else's roof.

Perhaps Florina would not treat her harshly in terms of material things, but once the two of them were involved in some matters of practical interest, their relationship might change drastically.

Not to mention, if Cologne is conquered in this battle to seize the title in the south, Florina, who was once an ally, might become an enemy the next day.

Otherwise, do you really think that a duke can help you send troops to seize the title just because of blood relationship? That is too naive.

There is no free lunch in the world. Things that seem free actually have a price tag already.

In any case, keeping one's own people around Leia is beneficial and harmless.

What's more, the "Book of the Holy Words of Glory" that Leah brought with her was a great help to him.

My Lord has always been a person who returns the favor I give you.

Giving Leah some manpower would keep her from being stuck with no one to turn to.

She can also take the opportunity to develop her own power. The title of a duke's heir will surely attract some ambitious people or some speculators to join her.

All Levi had to do was send someone he could trust to protect her safety.

"I will temporarily promote you to the captain of the guard. Go and select ten orc guards to protect Miss Leah." Levi turned his head and looked at Orak and said seriously, without any trace of his previous nonchalance.

"Yes, my lord."

Orak didn't hesitate at all. He swung his military boots and smashed his right fist on the unusually exaggerated chest. He nodded seriously, turned around and went to the Burning Legion to select ten orc guards.

After a few minutes, ten fully armed orc warriors came over.

These new orc guards who joined Highcliff Castle have experienced several battles and went out to sweep the wilderness bandits heading south. All of them have been promoted to the third level, and more than a dozen of them have reached the fourth level "Orc Warriors".

These ten are the best among them. They are two and a half meters tall, with arms as thick as marble pillars. They are real tough guys who can kill a tiger with one punch.

All of them wore armor produced by Gaoya Castle, with a cotton armor inside and a layer of iron armor outside, horn helmets on their heads, and steel hammers or giant axes on their backs. There were cloth bags specially left on the iron armor around their waists with five steel javelins inserted in them for their easy access at any time.

Although it cannot be compared with the personal guards led by Levi himself, this team is the best among the best in any legion of the Seven Kingdoms.

Under the leadership of the shaman orc Orak, it is no exaggeration to say that they can easily destroy the thirty-man cavalry squad escorting Leia.

Of course, if the other party wants to run, the orc guards will not be able to catch up with them.

After all, except for a certain Lord Li, it is very difficult for those with two legs to catch up with those with four legs.

"Olak, what you have to do when you stay with Miss Leah is to obey her completely. Her words are equivalent to my words!"

"Your will, sir, is the direction in which I will move forward!" Orak nodded heavily.

Since arriving at Gaoya Castle, their tribe has been tied to Gaoya Castle, and they share the same fate.

During this period, the young boys of the tribe did not have to worry about food and clothing for the first time. They ate their fill every day and wore thick woolen sweaters to protect themselves from the cold wind from the north. The words "hunger and cold" seemed to have gone far away from them.

But Orak knew who had caused all this.

Whether for the tribe or for itself, it will defend Highcliff Castle with its life.

"Be careful in everything you do. Next year, I'll go south and promote you to be the head of the group." Levi punched it in the chest twice.

As a result, the old orc was made to grimace in pain, but he had to hold it back for the sake of face, with both crying and laughing on his face.

The lord had completely forgotten that he had added all the attribute points last night. He had no idea how much his strength had increased. Although he had mastered a lot, the time was still short and he could not achieve the same meticulous control as before.

After much deliberation, Levi decided to choose Orak as the candidate for the guard this time.

This old orc is officially the third strongest fighter in Highcliff Castle. His strength is beyond doubt, and he can easily defeat a knight like Sikai who has cultivated fighting spirit.

Moreover, compared to Zat, Orak, who has experienced more things, is more calm and meticulous in his work, and is more suitable to accompany Leah south.

"Ahem..." Orak suddenly looked embarrassed and finally asked in a low voice.

"My Lord, who is more powerful, this captain or Zat's captain?"

The lord was also quick-witted and thought of a response in an instant.

He wanted to pat Orlak on the shoulder, but the old orc was too big and burly, so he had to give up. He said seriously, "Theoretically, you two are at the same level, and your position is more important."

Then he added silently in his heart, Zat is the commander of the Burning Legion, and you are the commander of the supernumerary legion's spellcasting group.

Theoretically, the two are indeed at the same level, and the spellcasting group is obviously more precious.

However, the first team of the spellcasting group currently consists of only Sam and Old Neil, two weaklings. To put it simply, they have the positions but no manpower, so they can only be the leader of a group without any troops.

My Lord is really good at getting something for nothing.

Hearing this, Orlak looked satisfied and instantly felt full of energy.

The main reason is that as a shaman orc, he would be respected no matter which tribe he was in. He was also older than Zat, but this brat had no respect for the elderly and loved the young. He often used him to practice his skills, and used his position to suppress him if he disagreed.

Now they are both team leaders and hold the same position, so this kid should forget about messing with this old man anymore.

"Miss Leah, I'll leave them in your care. Just make sure they're well fed three times a day."

"Yes, I will." Leah nodded with a smile on her face and mounted her horse. The cavalry team over there kept looking over here, obviously unable to wait any longer.

"See you next year in Bailiu City, Li Wei."

……

Leah left, but compared to when she came in with a smile on her face but a frown on her face, the smile on her face when she left was more genuine and her brows were much more relaxed.

With Orak and the orc guards around, it would be more convenient to do things in Bailiu City, and I wouldn't be too restricted in some aspects.

"Why did Orlak leave? Now I'm bored."

Looking at the departing team from afar, Zat shook his head, and the bright panda eyes in his eye sockets made him look particularly funny.

Apart from the eldest brother, it is the strongest in Highcliff Castle. In the past, there was no one to practice with. After Orak came, he was often pestered by it for practice. The strength of this old orc is not much worse than it. After casting spells, he can even fight with it on equal terms before the spell effect disappears.

Now that it has left, there is no one left to try its hand at.
