Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 161: Ice Warlock
The dazzling sun rose from the horizon. The heavy snow that had been falling in the wilderness for half a month finally stopped today.

The goatmen auxiliary soldiers and warriors all walked to the sunny place, feeling the hard-earned warmth, and then talked about some interesting topics of the moment, but most of them were about a lord who didn't look like a human.

Levi put his hands in his pockets, leaning against a wooden stake, looking carefully at the team coming to support from Bailiu City.

These three thousand people included a heavy infantry and a cavalry unit, among which the cavalry was the largest in number, reaching about two thousand people. The entire camp was filled with the neighing of "Herod's" horses.

However, Levi didn't care much about these. He glanced from time to time at a group of people wearing azure robes with hoods and diamond-shaped ice crystal ornaments on their chests.

This team doesn't have many members, only seven at most.

But Fujiro obviously attached more importance to this team, and even the Penta warriors had to step back a little.

"It's a magician!" Sam, wearing a felt hat, squeezed in from the barbarians with his arms folded across his chest with an excited look on his face, pointing at one of them, a tall, white-bearded old man with his hood removed and holding a wooden staff.

There was a sense of belonging as if he had found his own kind. After all, spellcasters in the wilderness were even rarer than goblins with unsatisfied lust in their heads.

As for Old Neil's dog-headed man... he had automatically excluded him.

Ever since this damn dog-headed man learned the art of soil fertility and his status rose, he no longer takes him seriously.

Looking at the white-bearded old man who was respectfully received by the commander of the Thorn Legion, Sam's face was full of envy.

This is the treatment a spellcaster deserves. Unlike him, his status in Gaoya Castle is not much higher than that of a commoner.

"This is the Ice and Snow Priest of the Ice and Snow Goddess Church, and also a warlock who controls the ice element."

Skye came over at some point and corrected Sam's wording.

"More than 70% of the people in the North believe in the Ice and Snow Goddess. There is a church for them in Bailiu City. They have a close relationship with the Duke. They are here to support us this time. I guess they were transferred here by the Duke."

He took some time to explain the common sense about magic to the illiterate people in Gaoya Castle.

"I thought you all believed in the Goddess of Holy Light."

Levi stroked his stubble, thoughtfully.

"How is this possible? The people of Debe basically believe in the Three Gods of Justice. These three goddesses are the Goddess of Life, the Goddess of Holy Light, and the Goddess of Ice and Snow."

"The North is in the north and it's cold all year round. The geographical location here determines that many civilians will believe in the Ice and Snow Goddess. Generally speaking, there are more believers in the Holy Light Goddess's court."

When it comes to issues of faith, Sikai had to popularize some knowledge in this area with the lord.

"Oh? So you believe in the goddess of ice and snow?" Levi asked.

"Me? I am a non-believer."

Skye blinked and smiled.

This time it was Levi who was shocked. In this world where God clearly appeared, there were actually unbelievers besides him?
The key is that he doesn't believe in God. It's not that he doesn't believe in the existence of God, but these gods have nothing to do with him, so why would he believe in them?

If it can really bring him some benefits, it wouldn't matter if he believed in it.

Sikai did not talk much about this topic. Although the Faithless were rare, there were still thousands of them in the whole of Derby. He was just one of them who happened to be there.

"With the arrival of these priests, we can now easily defeat this wilderness coalition army."

"It is snowing right now. For the priests who know ice and snow magic, the power of their magic will be at least 40% to 50% stronger."

Sikai said firmly.

They had suffered the loss of a spellcaster before, which allowed the Wilderness Alliance to successfully deploy the Minotaur to the rear, almost causing irreparable casualties. Thinking of this, Sikai looked deeply at the lord.

If it weren't for Lord Li who turned the tide at that time, it is unknown whether the Legion of Thorns could have been preserved as intact as it is now.

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe this group of wilderness coalition forces is just an appetizer." The lord said meaningfully.

Sikai didn't dare to respond, so he said goodbye and left quickly.

This attempt to cover up something only made it more obvious, which made the lord even more suspicious.

Something is wrong, so wrong.

If it was just a group of wilderness coalition forces, there would be no need for such a large-scale battle.

Leaving aside Florina and the disappeared cavalry regiment of a thousand men.

Not counting the casualties of the Legion of Thorns, the Lord roughly estimated that there were at least 4,000 people. Adding the new reinforcements, the number was already over 7,000.

Including the auxiliary soldiers and cooks in logistics, there would be no problem in raising the banner of a legion of 15,000.

Using it to deal with a group of wilderness natives whose main force is estimated to be only more than 6,000 people is truly like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito.

Especially now that seven additional spellcasters and a hundred-man team of Penta warriors have been dispatched.

Not to mention dealing with these wilderness bumpkins, it's more than enough to attack the city from the south.

Although the previous battle with the Wilderness Alliance did surprise him, that was actually all.

It’s just that their equipment is indeed much better than that of the previous natives, and is already comparable to the equipment of Debe’s ragtag army.

But once the battle started, there was still no formation, and as usual, they rushed up in a large number and fought on their own.

All we can say is that a makeshift team is just a makeshift team, and perhaps there is someone with some military knowledge behind the scenes directing them.

But that person was like a housewife who could not cook without rice, and could only make up for this shortcoming with some crude tricks.

He might know some sophisticated strategies, but expecting an unorganized and undisciplined team to implement them is no less than asking peasants to march in step.

"Come here, Zat. Boss, I'm going to assign you a task."

Levi called Zat, who was watching the Penta warriors with great interest, to a corner and gave him instructions.

The two whispered for a long time.

"Anyway, you can use the supplies as you like, but raise the favorability of these Penta warriors for me." Levi patted Zat's shoulder, who was hunched over, and said in a heavy tone: "Little Zat, although the mission is difficult, I have high hopes for you."

"Boss, I promise to complete the task." Zat patted his chest.

After making the promise, Zat asked curiously, "Boss, what about you?"

Logically speaking, this kind of thing should be handled by the boss, who is the best at fooling people. Why would he think of handing it over to the boss?

Fortunately, these Pandaren appear to be honest people just like it, so it shouldn't be difficult to fool them.

"Me?" Levi looked at the priests of the Ice and Snow Church and said with a disappointed tone, "Sir, my mission is also full of difficulties."
