Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 195 High EQ: Being thrown over the shoulder, low EQ: Slipping
As a powerful force, it is definitely not so easy for the ogres to be defeated.

When facing orcs, they were simply beaten back without any chance of fighting back, but when facing the Lord of Highcliff Castle, they were simply slaughtered. Their simple minds could not understand how this dwarf could have such great power.

And as the magic that they had placed high hopes on was easily blocked by the opponent, they could no longer withstand the pressure, and fear prevailed at this moment.

They simply passed by the drow priests who were guarding behind them and began to flee.

This made the four drow priests, who were dizzy and weak due to the exhaustion of magic power, appear naked in front of the lord at this moment, as if they had taken off all their clothes.

Without any obstruction, it only took a few breaths for the burly men from High Cliff Castle to surround the four drow priests. They were like little white sheep surrounded by wolves, weak, pitiful and helpless.

"Got you."

The Lord looked at the four female drow priests in front of him, showing his two rows of white teeth, and waved his hand: "Tie them up for me, my Lord. Remember to block their mouths."

Several orcs pounced on them and tied up their hands and feet in an instant. Zat even took out his stinky socks. The stench, like that of raw fish left for a few days, made these female drow elves roll their eyes and retch continuously.

Zat had no mercy on women and roughly stuffed his socks into the mouths of two of the drow elves. They rolled their eyes and fainted from the stench.

"Boss, the socks are gone." Zat scratched his head and looked at the lord.

Levi is not like Zat, he still maintains a bit of aristocratic demeanor.

He took out two handkerchiefs and stuffed them into the mouths of the remaining two drow elves.

The two drow elves who escaped the disaster still had lingering fears on their faces.

Compared to smelly socks, handkerchiefs were still within their acceptable range, and thus they developed some affection for the lord.

"Hurry up when the wind blows." The lord stopped the orc barbarian who was about to fight against the ogre team that was coming to reinforce.

The strategic purpose of this battle has been achieved, and there is no need to continue fighting with the enemy.

After such a short delay, the enemy ogre reinforcements were only a hundred steps away from them, but this distance, which could normally be covered quickly, now seemed like an insurmountable chasm.

The barbarians retreated towards the city wall behind them at a faster speed.

No matter how angry the ogre behind him roared, he could only watch the distance between the two continue to widen.

Levi soon reunited with Mir and Maisha.

Mir's decisive decision cleared a safe retreat for High Cliff Castle.

The Wilderness Alliance troops attacking the city at the gap had been almost all killed by the Feder archers, with only a hundred or so Milotaurs remaining in the gap, struggling to hold on.

"Well done." He patted Mil's shoulder in affirmation.

He did not bring Mir with him, but instead let him lead the Fede archers, because he wanted to train him to be a commander rather than a reckless man who only knew how to fight.

The arrangements that Mir made this time based on his independent judgment of the situation proved that his efforts during this period were not in vain.

The enrichment of books and the real-life practice made him grow rapidly like a sponge that absorbs water.

"Leave it to me next!" Maisha looked at the last Miluotaos at the gap, stretched out her hand and grasped the badge of the ice and snow goddess hanging on her chest, and an ice-blue light emerged from between her fingers.

After a very fast chant, a huge snowball with six blades was summoned, and then it rolled towards the group of Milatos like a chariot.

The power was far greater than imagined. The abundant elemental force allowed the snowball to easily crush the Minotaur in front, and then shattered into pure ice and snow elements, freezing dozens of Minotaurs around it into ice sculptures.

In fact, Maisha was also a little surprised that her magic power had become so strong.

The snowy weather had a greater impact on her than she had imagined.

"Deal with them and enter the city wall!" The lord snapped his fingers and took the lead in launching the charge.

In no time, the only remaining mad Minotaur was dealt with.

Just as the lord crossed the gap and was about to go in, a sound of breaking air was heard above his head.

"My lord, be careful!" the young priestess screamed in shock.

I saw a giant hand made entirely of tree trunks, slapping down fiercely from behind the city wall.

boom!
There was no time to say anything. The lord demonstrated his advanced force-dissipating skills in front of a group of arrogant barbarians, and then performed an over-the-shoulder throw.

A huge tree man that was eight blades tall flew out from behind the gap with a "bang" and smashed heavily on the corpse on the ground, causing a wave of flesh, just like stepping on ketchup.

This made the barbarians shake their heads and mourn for the tree man. No one knew better than them how painful it was to see their leader fall over the shoulder.

At the same time, I feel that I still have a long way to go compared to my boss.

"Your uncle's."

Levi admitted that he was shocked. He had planned everything but never expected that it would be his friendly forces that would attack him.

"I am Baron Levi, Lord of High Cliff Castle in the Kingdom of Debe. I am here with Duke Flinna to reinforce our elf friends!"

He shouted loudly.

Several tree people who were rushing over stopped, looked at the group of dwarfs in front of them, and began to whisper.

They had never heard of Highcliff Castle, nor did they know who Baron Levi was, but they were definitely familiar with Florina.

Although they look stupid, they are actually very cautious: "Please forgive our suspicion, we need to ask about this matter first."

Two tree people helped up their fellow tribesman who was already seeing stars on the ground, and the other one left the gap.

"Rose, who did this to you?"

He supported two tree people of the same tribe, and after the tree person who attacked the lord got better, he hurriedly asked.

They really couldn't figure out who could knock the tree people to the ground.

Just now they were dealing with the remaining enemies and didn't notice the gap at all.

The lord immediately pulled Maisha aside and chatted with her about family matters as if nothing had happened, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.

The tree man named Ross looked down at a certain lord. He was too embarrassed to say that he was dragged out alive. Then he threw him over his shoulder and said in a muffled voice, "I slipped and fell to the ground accidentally."

The other two tree people obviously didn't believe it.

"This Baron Levi is indeed here to support us. Let him and his followers come in." The returning tree man broke the current dilemma and made a dozen tree men make way.

Levi waved his hand, and everyone from Gaoya Castle followed and filed in through the gap in the city wall.

The dozen or so tree people continued to block the gap. Behind the city wall was a mountain with a road in the middle. This city wall was obviously just a pass.

In addition to the elven warriors, there were also many elven women and children running back and forth to rescue the wounded.

The injuries caused by heavy weapons such as giant axes or clubs are horrific, but the only expression on their faces is habit or numbness.

"Zat, you take fifty people and the tree people to guard the gap, and the others come with me to the city wall to assist in the defense." After Levi gave the order, he led his men to the city wall without stopping.

Previously, they only dealt with the Wilderness Alliance at the gap. The city wall was about a hundred steps long, and the Wilderness Alliance was still attacking the city in other locations.

Everyone rushed up to the city wall again.

The fighting was still going on on the city wall. The wild people were constantly climbing up, and the elves were struggling to beat them back.

Levi saw at a glance that not far away, a silver-armored knight with disheveled hair was fighting with four or five pig-headed warriors who were surrounding her.

Levi made a gesture, and Mir immediately took his men to assist the elves in defending the city. The lord rushed forward first, kicked a pig-headed warrior to the ground, and cut the rest in half with two swords.

Until their death, these idiots had no idea that it was that little jerk who was attacking them from behind.

The Silver-Armored Knight also felt relieved at this time, and just as he was about to sit down on the ground, he was hugged by the lord.

"You tiger woman, you have an army of more than 100,000 people under your command, why did you have to come to this damn place by yourself? If you really lie down in this remote place, what should I do in the future?"

"Wouldn't my title of Lion Hunting Knight be wasted? I would be losing both the lady and the army."

The lord looked at Florina, whose face was a little pale, in his arms, and muttered to himself that he was disappointed with her.

Frankly speaking, speaking from his conscience, what he said was all from his heart.

If Florina really died here, there would definitely be turmoil in the North, and this is only secondary.

Without a duke to resist the pressure, he will have to bear the pressure from the Grand Duke of the South alone.

Levi admitted that he was very strong, but the people under his command were not as strong as him. He could run away if he couldn't win, but others couldn't run away.

The only result at that time would be that he would become a lonely man, which would absolutely go against his original intention.

"Aren't you here?" Florina smiled, and then looked at the lord's hand with a half-smile: "By the way, how long do you want to hold me?"

"Bah, am I that kind of person? I really wasted my good intentions."

The lord put on a great and glorious look, then smacked his lips, helped Florina to lean against the city wall, and considerately found a wild man's corpse for her to use as a meat cushion.

The Duchess was also very careless and sat on the corpse without a care in the world.

"Tsk tsk, you look like you were fished out of blood."

As the barbarians took over the city defense, the situation was reversed in an instant. They were beaten so hard in the wilderness that they couldn't even raise their heads. Only then did the lord have time to joke about it.

"Tsk, how good do you think you are?" Florina sneered.

If she was fished out of water of blood, then the Baron Levi in ​​front of her must have been rolled in a meat grinder filled with minced flesh and blood for ten times.

The heavy snow from the sky turned into rain in an instant when it fell on him, constantly washing out the tiny pieces of flesh and blood stuck in the gaps of his armor.

"Are you the 'Lion Hunter'?"

At this time, a voice as sweet and melodious as a lark came from the side. The lord looked up and was stunned for two breaths.

This is a female high elf wearing light golden armor. Her skin is whiter than porcelain, her frame is slender and graceful. Her slightly pale face contains a beauty that cannot be described even if all the scholars in the world put their best efforts together - beauty.

Legend has it that the pure-blooded upper-level blood elves, who are regarded as the treasures of the Titans, possess stunning beauty that other races cannot match. The most beautiful flowers will wither out of shame, and the moon will close its doors and windows out of jealousy.

It has been considered the pinnacle of beauty that has been unsurpassed since ancient times. Levi believes that even if the elf from the Yufeng tribe in front of him cannot compare to her, he is definitely not far behind.

This judgment is just a conservative statement made by the lord since he has not seen a pure-blooded upper-level blood elf yet.

"Actually, I'm not the 'Lion Hunter Knight' yet. I'm the Lord of Highcliff Castle and the Baron of the Kingdom of Derby. You can call me Levi." The Lord took off his helmet and smiled slightly.

He didn't have any thoughts about the female elf in front of him. He was simply shocked by the ultimate beauty. Appreciating beauty is an innate ability of all intelligent creatures, and he is no exception.

"I am Ashe Whisperwind, the elf queen of the Whisperwind tribe. Thank you for your selfless assistance."

"The Whisperwind Tribe will not forget your contribution now."

Ashe Whisperwind was held captive by Levi for three breaths after his helmet was taken off before she came to her senses and spoke sincerely.

To be honest, she always thought that the person under the helmet was a middle-aged or elderly knight with an unshaven beard.

After all, the strength of this "Lion Hunting Knight" is terrifyingly strong, and strength is often linked to age. Generally speaking, if a human wants to reach this level of strength within a certain lifespan, the age must have reached a level that cannot be ignored.

But I didn't expect that the face under the helmet was unexpectedly young and handsome.

"It's nothing. I think no one can sit idly by and watch the beautiful elf being destroyed by a group of rough guys." Levi showed what he thought was the most handsome smile.

Levi's tone was very different from before, making Florina beside him feel disgusted as if she was infested with lice.

"From now on you are the 'Lion Hunting Knight'." Florina said lightly, interrupting the two people who continued to praise each other in front of her.

It's so disgusting.

"So generous? No more tests?" Levi scratched his head.

This thing came too simply and easily, leaving him with no sense of accomplishment or ritual.

"This title originally belonged to you, the only difference is whether it was given to you sooner or later." Florina shook her head.

"Besides, I can give titles to anyone I want. It's precious only because it's the first honorary title I've ever bestowed. No one has ever received it, so it's naturally precious."

After saying this, Florina looked at Levi and said, "Do you think I'm being willful or inexplicable?"

Thinking about what the tiger woman had done, first she came to lead the Thorn Legion in person, and then she led a small team deep into the wilderness. Levi wanted to nod and say yes, but he still said euphemistically against his will: "Not really, I just think it's a bit arbitrary."

"I am already a duke, but I cannot do as I please. Isn't this a waste of a duke?"

However, Florina smiled and expressed the Lord's thoughts.

At this moment, the two reached a certain consensus in some aspects.
