Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 145 The Vengeful Little Silver Dragon
On the wasteland not far below the hill, the soldiers were setting up camp in an orderly manner. Hemispherical white tents popped up on the flat wasteland like mushrooms after rain.

Under the hammers wielded by a group of three-bladed giants, thick wooden stakes were hammered into the compacted ground one by one, surrounding the camp and forming a simple defensive fortification. There was an exit on each side blocked by chevaux de frise.

Patrol teams of about five people were moving around like butterflies flying through the camp. The logistics support soldiers started to make fires and cook, and the smoke filled the entire camp.

Everything seems to be in order and orderly.

Levi moved a small stool to the hill and sat there, eating melon seeds and watching with great interest.

To be honest, there is no problem in fighting small battles with the current number of troops in Gaoyabao, but once the number of people expands to thousands or even tens of thousands, the difficulties encountered will pop up like bamboo shoots after rain.

Just how to set up camp and distribute guards is a subject that can be learned to death.

However, what really surprised Levi was the group of soldiers who were three times taller than him but were obviously human. To be honest, when he first saw them in the Duke of Cologne's Palace, he thought they had gigantism, but now it seems that this is obviously another branch of the human race.

"I don't know who is stronger, these big guys or the trolls."

Levi talked to himself.

Since taking in the trolls and giant monsters, the former have been regarded as reserve blacksmiths, swinging sledgehammers in the smithy every day. The efficiency of High Cliff Castle's weapon production has been visibly improved.

The latter worked as laborers doing hard labor, including but not limited to pulling carts, transporting stones, etc.

It can be said that these two races have made great contributions to the rapid development of Gaoya Castle.

Levi is now very jealous of these materials that are naturally suitable for infrastructure construction. Apart from being edible, they have almost no disadvantages. He plans to wait until the Minotaur issue is resolved, and then continue to capture some trolls and giant monsters in the depths of the wilderness to enrich the construction team of Highcliff Castle.

"These are the old people of the North, living in the Forgotten Mountains. It is said that they have a trace of giant blood, and each of them is naturally tall and powerful."

Levi turned around and saw that Beristina appeared behind him without him noticing.

She was wrapped in a thick, snow-white wool coat with a hood, with only her chubby little face, which was glowing red, showing.

There is no need to elaborate on how cold the north is. Snowflakes are floating in the sky at any time, and the hot air exhaled can be seen with the naked eye. The people of Gaoya Castle have all changed into the same woolen coats, wrapping their bodies tightly.

Our lord was still shirtless, and the snowflakes that fell on him instantly turned into rain and then evaporated.

"There are so many species in this world that even giants can have blood descendants with humans." The lord sighed, shaking his head.

He really couldn't figure out how those giants, who were often more than ten blades tall, could have given birth to offspring with humans, leading to the emergence of the race of the Old People of the North.

However, there were too many strange things in that era. Levi was not an archaeologist, so he was just sighing about it.

"Yes, there are all kinds of orcs, dragonborn with the blood of dragons... There are so many of them that even the most knowledgeable scholars dare not say that they know all the races in this world." Beristina rubbed her cold hands, her face flushed.

"Just stay indoors in such a cold day. There's nothing to do during this period of time anyway." The lord, who was a little bored, continued to watch the soldiers of Bailiu City below building the camp bit by bit like ants.

"Isn't this a certain busy man who doesn't even have clothes to wear? I was afraid he would freeze, so I sent him some clothes." Levi turned his head.

Beristina raised a thick hand-woven cloak in her hand. It was not very delicate, but it had a kind of rugged feeling unique to the North. It was obvious at first glance that it was very suitable for the style of a certain lord.

"Haha, I don't have any. I'm not afraid of the cold, so I just don't wear any." Levi scratched his head, "Look at that silly Zat, isn't he running around shirtless in the cold weather?"

"How dare you say that? I specially knitted you a winter coat and you gave it away like that."

Speaking of this, Bai Ruishina put her hands on her hips and couldn't help feeling a little angry.

It was obvious that she had taken time out of her busy schedule to knit the clothes bit by bit under the lamp at night as a return gift, but she didn't expect that someone would just give it to someone without saying a word, and the person was a woman.

"It's not a gift." Levi stood up, took the cloak and put it on, and explained calmly, "Miss Leah didn't have the right clothes when she came here, so I could only give her my coat to keep warm. She didn't ask for it back afterwards, and I didn't want to ask. After all, she is nominally my lord and has helped me a lot. If I ask for it back, it would seem like I am very stingy."

"By the way, what about Zat and Mir?" Levi changed the subject.

"Just now I saw them squatting by the river and competing with Sophia in fishing." In fact, Christina Bai was not very angry. The lord's explanation made her feel completely at ease.

"That's great! Gaoya Castle doesn't even have any surplus food, yet you dare to use the food to go fishing?!" Levi seemed to be angry that they were using corn kernels to fish, but in fact he was cursing these three idiots for not asking him to go fishing. You know, he was a veteran fisherman in his previous life.

"They use the captured goblins and kobolds to fish..." added Beristina.

"Uh uh..." The lord was stunned, and then looked furious, "I can tell at a glance that this was the idea of ​​that idiot Zat. He used goblins to catch crocodiles at the beginning, but I didn't expect that they would add kobolds to the mix now!"

"Who doesn't know that the Kobolds are now my capable assistants in cultivating farmland and mining in Highcliff Castle?"

"The goblins were indeed Zat's idea, but the kobolds were added by Sofia." Beristina smiled slightly, "Sophia believed that the reason she was captured by you was because of that dragon kobold. Although that dragon kobold is dead, it doesn't stop her from taking out her anger on its kind."

"Okay." The lord scratched his head. He really didn't expect that this little silver dragon would hold such a grudge.

Later he also learned some specific details.

Originally, Sophia came to the wilderness and took in these followers, and ordered them to quietly collect treasures for her.

In this impetuous era, everyone is desperately looking for opportunities to prove themselves.

After she fell into a deep sleep, she didn't expect that the dragon vein dog-headed man wanted to do something earth-shattering for his dragon master.

Only then did he lead the dragon army to sweep across the surrounding tribes and gather more manpower, which led to the trouble for High Cliff Castle. The lord then followed the clues and found the dragon's lair.

It can be said that from Sophia's perspective, this guy was a complete guide, and it was he who brought the army to capture her.
