Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 18 It’s broken, I’ve become a clown
"Using orc slaves to form a pioneering guard? I admit that your idea is very good." Florina raised her lips slightly, and it was unclear whether it was a compliment or a mockery. "But I have to remind you that these orcs are as famous for their unruly temper as their bravery. No one can make them obedient."

"Unless you can defeat them, these orcs will only obey the strong."

Florina added silently in her heart, but how can this...

Suddenly she remembered what Leah had said before, that Levi could throw an iron javelin five hundred steps away.

But how is this possible? Five hundred steps? Even a large crossbow can only reach this far. How can a human being do this?

Even the orcs, who were famous for their strength, could only throw a hundred steps at most.

Thinking of this, Florina couldn't help but look at Levi a few times.

She is quite good-looking, and stands out even among the elves with excellent looks. However, her body, although slender and well-proportioned, is far from being muscular.

He shook his head again. How could this be possible?

Florina just thought that Leah must have made a mistake and said five hundred steps instead of fifty steps.

In Levi's eyes, after Florina finished speaking, she looked at his appearance and showed satisfaction at first, but after looking at his figure for a few times, she shook her head.

Ok?
Is this looking down on him?

Think he's a thin dog?

"Ahem, Madam, some things can't be judged by appearance alone. You have to look beyond the surface to grasp the essence." Levi raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully.

If Florina wanted to support him, Levi didn't mind sacrificing himself a little. After all, this would save him from taking a detour of thirty years and allow him to achieve his goal in one step.

When Florina dies, this vast northern territory will belong to him.

Who would be willing to start a business when they can inherit the family business?
"what are you saying?"

Florina was puzzled, so she asked her servant to get some parchment, dipped a feather pen in ink, and wrote down the beautiful characters commonly used in the Middle Ages.

'Oh no, I'm a clown.'

Looking at Florina who pretended to know nothing and handled things in a businesslike manner, Levi felt a pang in his heart, as if there was a small red ball on his nose.

"Forty gold grams each. Don't think it's too expensive. These orcs are worth the price." Seeing Levi who seemed to want to bargain, Florina interrupted him directly.

After rolling up the parchment and tying it with a silk ribbon, he handed it to Levi and said, "Take it to the Howling Arena, and you will get fifty orc barbarians.

After taking the parchment, Levi's previous embarrassment disappeared.

Two thousand gold grams were completely emptied, and a mountain of gold was only exchanged for a piece of parchment, but Levi smiled with satisfaction.

Logically speaking, it would be safest to use these two thousand gold grams to open a store.

And expanding territory is like stocks in the previous life. Although the future returns are considerable, the risks are extremely high.

If things go wrong, he might even lose all the money he put in, including his wife's money, and not even have money left.

In the end, like those pioneering predecessors, they can only sell their butts to repay their debts.

But Levi only knew one wise saying.

The neighbor stores grain, he stores soldiers, the neighbor is his granary!

When funds are insufficient, the worst that can happen is that he can just play the role of a wilderness bandit. With his strength, he can bring fifty orcs with him and be a powerful troublemaker in the wilderness.

What’s more, taking by force is better than hard work!
Wasn’t it this unique skill that helped Mold to make his fortune in his previous life?

"One last reminder, if these orcs don't obey, I won't take them back."

Florina glanced at Levi.

Ever since she brought these orcs back to the arena, she had thought about taming them, putting them in armor and serving as meat shields in the front row.

Unfortunately, even the knights who had learned to fight were beaten by these orcs and could not get out of bed for half a month. In the arena, they were lazy and had bad deeds. They were just paying money to support them.

Killing them would affect the relationship between the Martell family and the orcs, while letting them go would bring shame to the Martell family.

The fact that the problem has not been properly handled has caused Florina a lot of headaches.

Some even suspected that this group of orcs intended to attack Bailiu City just to get caught and eat and drink for free.

Now that someone is willing to pay to take it over, she is naturally happy about it.

"Of course." Levi gave an ambiguous smile.

He stood up and bowed to Florina, then took Zat and walked outside along the same path they came.

Unexpectedly, I met Leah just as I walked out of the passage.

"Levi, are you leaving?" Compared to before, Leah's eyes were a lot more swollen. It was obvious that she had cried heartily and released all her inner emotions.

"Yes, Miss Leah." After getting what he wanted, Levi's smile never stopped.

"Thank you for your care along the way." Leia bowed.

Although Levi was very stingy along the way and had no respect for the feudal lord at all, the feeling of being treated as an equal was something Leah had never experienced before.

And the stories I told her because I was bored during the journey were also very novel.

Thinking of this, she said reluctantly: "Levi, if your development is not going well, you can come to me..."

"If you keep saying such bad things, I'll beat you up!"

Levi's words put an end to Leah's evil ambitions that she had been harboring from the very beginning.

……

Walking on the streets of Bailiu City.

Levi held the parchment in his hand, feeling as if everything was ready except for the east wind.

He raised his hand to stop a passing carriage and generously spent three silver coins to rent it.

"To the Howling Arena!"

Due to his huge body, Zat could only rely on his feet and follow the carriage miserably.

The carriage sped along the streets of Cologne, and the surrounding buildings gradually became lower and more sparse, moving from the bustling center to the edge of the city.

The Colosseum was the pillar industry of the Kingdom of Derby, or the entire medieval continent, because it had a variety of non-human races and a lack of entertainment. All of this provided fertile soil for the development of the Colosseum, making it a sport for relieving stress that was no less than a brothel.

There are more than a dozen arenas of various sizes in the city of Bailiu alone. There is nothing special about the Howling Arena being ranked number one, simply because its owner is the Martell family.

Most of the other emerging arenas were built with logs and bricks, but the Howling Arena was built with exquisite granite.

There are eight granite columns at the entrance, extending symmetrically on both sides of the main entrance, supporting the tall circular dome.

From this we can see the heritage of the old aristocratic Martell family.

"Sir, today is a rest day. All fighters are resting. Please come back another day."

This was the first sentence Levi heard as soon as he entered the door.

At the same time, I felt deeply offended.

Even in the other world there are days off, so what kind of life did he lead in his previous life, working all year round?
Moreover, after being in the arena for so long, this was the first time he heard of a rest day.

Damn the arena boss...
