Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 219 Showing off the muscles
"Go ahead, no matter how many of you there are. My lord wants to see how much trouble you cowards can accomplish!"

The lord's loud voice shook the snow and echoed throughout the noisy sky, like a hornet's nest.

There were some knights who were watching from the outside. When they heard this, they rolled up their sleeves angrily and rushed towards the lord like a stream of water. The situation became completely chaotic.

At a glance, the flat ground was filled with people, rushing and attacking the people from Gaoyabao who were already lined up in the center. Some of them even had fighting spirit flashing on their bodies. Without some real skills, it would be really difficult to stop this group of extremely fierce orcs and centaurs, not to mention the monstrous lion hunting knight.

"Stop it!" The capable Florina and a group of nobles hurried over and shouted.

Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to her and the chaos continued unabated.

It wasn't that she showed disrespect to the Duke, but the scene was filled with roars and wails, and it was difficult for her voice to be heard among them.

"Fujiero, please." Florina touched her forehead with a headache.

She really didn't expect that the Lion Hunting Knight would cause such a big fuss as soon as he arrived here.

Fujiro nodded. This place was originally his fiefdom, but with Florina here, he naturally had to give way and hand over the leading position to her.

He waved his hand, and a team of guards in iron armor, holding hammers, rushed forward in neat steps, ready to stop the fight. Unfortunately, the more cool they were in front, the more embarrassed they were later, and they ran out at an even faster speed, with panic on their faces.

The lord was seen holding a flagpole as thick as his thigh, and with a roar, he pulled the thick log out of the ground like an onion in dry land, held it in his arms, and prepared to swing it.

Most of these guards were veterans of the Thorn Corps, and they knew very well the strength of the Lion Hunting Knight. If they were hit by this knight, not even a complete corpse would be left, so they naturally would not rush forward headlong.

The knights who were nearby were also frightened by this horrifying scene and quickly raised their hands and squatted down.

"Haha, what a bunch of cowards!" Levi laughed three times, threw the flagpole on the ground, and clapped his hands.

This made Florina very angry. She covered her chest and said to the group of nobles next to her: "Take care of your own people!"

This group of nobles did not dare to delay any longer. They looked at each other, their bodies flashing with light. Fighting spirits of different colors were stimulated from their bodies, turning into air masses that converged in the sky, and suddenly exploded after a moment.

The violent explosion was deafening, and the air wave that followed instantly swept up the snow on the ground and eaves, making it fly.

Everyone was shocked, but at the same time, they regained some of their sanity.

Levi made a gesture, and while the other party was still in a daze, he led everyone in Gaoyabao to retreat to the side quietly, just like the black sesame seeds and white sesame seeds on the two sides.

These guard knights, who belonged to different noble families, had their abundant physical energy released and regained their sanity. Looking at the mess before them, they began to feel uneasy.

The people of the North like to solve problems with their fists. Instead of stopping this trend, the nobles support it enthusiastically, believing that it can help them maintain a brave heart.

But this time they came to the new baron's fiefdom as guests.

There were dozens of people lying on the ground wailing, and the rest were injured to varying degrees. Everyone was bruised.

This was a complete slap in the face to the baron.

Not to mention that the person they were dealing with was the recently famous Lion Hunting Knight. In Derby, disrespecting a true noble would be punished by Derby law and brought to the noble court.

Many people didn't even know how the fight started and just joined in without knowing why.

No one knew that the two parties who initially sparked the fight were no longer around.

The nobles present glanced around the room, their eyes filled with half fear and half anger.

Both sides were obviously still rational and no serious incidents such as death occurred, but at least 30% of them were lying on the ground wailing.

What frightened these nobles was that those lying on the ground were basically all their carefully selected and extremely brave guard knights.

These knights who had practiced fighting spirit were definitely not just show-offs, but now they were beaten to the ground, rolling and groaning, unable to get up.

What made them angry was that it would have been fine if they had just fought, but they hadn’t won against so many people, which was a complete disgrace to them.

According to rough estimates, their united knights numbered at least a hundred, three times as many as the enemy's. However, in reality, their numerical advantage seemed to disappear as they were beaten badly by the enemy's iron fist.

Fortunately, there was still one of the enemies lying on the ground, an orc, who was covering his chest and howling in pain, and it seemed that he was seriously injured.

It can be considered as saving some face for them.

If they hadn't managed to catch one, these knights would have been equivalent to having a three-to-one numerical advantage but still getting nothing, and they would never be able to hold their heads up in their lifetime.

Everyone looked at Levi deeply. They thought that this Lion Hunter was just a hero made by the times, a man seeking fame and reputation, but they didn't expect that he actually had some talent under his command.

Levi put his hands in his pockets, and under the scrutiny of everyone, he calmly walked to the orc lying on the ground and kicked him in the butt.

"Hurry up and get up! Your acting is so fake! You haven't learned anything from me, Sir."

The cry of pain suddenly stopped. The orc who was lying on the ground and looked seriously injured, turned over and got up from the ground, patted his butt, and stood beside the lord. He was clearly full of energy.

"Boss, I'm just trying to make them happy for a while."

The nobles' eyes went dark and they almost choked.

The knights were so angry that they could no longer hold back, and all kinds of vulgar language flew towards the people in Highcliff Castle like a tide.

Orcs and Centaurs were not easily frightened, so all sorts of cruder wilderness slang echoed throughout the sky like a large batch.

Especially since these sturdy men all had loud voices, as if they were equipped with loudspeakers, the whole scene was filled with their vulgar slang.

"Quiet!"

Fujiro's roar suddenly drowned out everyone else's voice.

Obviously some magic was used in this regard.

Although Fujiro was not the direct superior of these knights, he was still a baron and the commander of the legion. Everyone fell silent for a short while.

"You have brought disgrace upon the North."

"You are simply bringing shame to Duke Florina. As knights, you are fighting like hooligans here. You don't even take the feudal lord seriously. Do you still have any honor?!"

Honor? What a lofty and distant word, in the eyes of some people, it is more precious than life and more worth pursuing than money.

The knights lowered their heads in shame. They were knights who were awarded titles, with superb martial arts and high levels of fighting spirit. They were undoubtedly the true aces among aces, the elite among the elite, so they were arrogant and proud, and regarded honor as their life.

On the other hand, the people in Gaoyabao, far from feeling ashamed, were all proudly holding their heads high, as if they had won a battle. "I hope you can realize that this fight is definitely a vicious incident, especially when the war is about to start, we are fighting among ourselves, which will definitely be ridiculed by everyone."

Florina stood up. Her voice was so serious that anyone could sense the warning contained in it.

"Your Excellency the Duke, please forgive me for being frank."

A thin middle-aged noble with a mustache stood up. This was Count Tess, one of the old nobles who was least interested in the Lion Hunting Knight.

In this fight, his guard knight was the one involved.

"There is no doubt that the Lord of High Cliff Castle bears the primary responsibility for this matter."

It is actually not difficult to restore the truth of how the fuse of the whole incident was ignited in the first place. You can find out everything with just a little asking.

"My people told me that it was his men who first attacked them outside the arena, which led to this worst incident in recent times."

"What Earl Tess said is unfair." Levi said calmly, "My people told me that it was your people who first insulted a baron who was a formal noble, which led to the tragedy?"

"You know, according to the Derby Law, if a non-noble insults a noble, he will be brought to the noble court. Now my people are just trying to get back the face for his master."

This law does exist, but it is purely for reference. After all, there are so many people who insult nobles in private, and it is impossible to arrest them all.

I just didn't expect it to be brought up now.

"That means you should let him go to the Noble Court and let the elders of the Noble Court decide what kind of punishment he should receive, instead of letting your people exercise the power of the Noble Court!"

Tess immediately responded in a confrontational manner. The earl became a little angry and seemed a little overbearing, as if he was arguing for no reason.

It is undeniable that this Lion Hunting Knight who appeared out of nowhere is very powerful in both his own strength and influence, but Earl Tess still does not take him seriously. After all, he is just a small baron.

Now this place has almost become a stage for the other party to show off his muscles, which makes him even more unhappy. His impression of this pioneering baron is extremely bad.

"What Earl Tess said is a bit far-fetched. I think that what Baron Levi's men did was absolutely fine."

"After all, no one can stand the anger of someone who insults their master."

A tall nobleman in a tuxedo stood up with a smile on his face.

"I agree with Count Ando. Besides, the knights should also be held responsible for not stopping the fight but joining it."

An elderly noble with white hair and beard and a big belly echoed this and then smiled kindly at the lord.

Regarding the issue of responsibility, the nobles present were immediately divided into two factions. About 30% of them believed that the lord had done nothing wrong, and these nobles all had good intentions towards the lord of High Cliff Castle.

The remaining 70% put all the blame on Levi alone.

Thirty percent of the nobles did not join the fight because their guard knights did not join in.

The doubles players each held their own opinions, and for a moment there was a tendency for them to start quarreling again.

"enough!"

Florina's voice, which was mixed with some anger, interrupted the meaningless quarrel of these nobles. She looked around, and her serious voice was clearly audible in the silent space.

"This matter ends here. Please take good care of your subordinates and do not let such incidents that would bring shame to me happen again. Otherwise, as your lord, you will meet me in a military court."

"The Martell family will never allow such a vile incident as internal strife to happen!"

All the nobles immediately shut up and nodded in agreement.

Florina looked at Levi deeply, then walked away with a smile in his eyes.

To be honest, as the lord of all the people present except one person, if she were to favor the Lion Hunting Knight, she would inevitably face dissatisfaction from her vassals, but if she were to favor her own people, it would seem unfair.

So we can only make a big deal out of a small matter and just give a warning and be done with it.

Count Tess snorted coldly and left with his escort knights.

Among them was a knight who had two panda eyes in his eye sockets, a bruised nose and a swollen face, almost like a pig's head. When he saw the lord's gaze, he quickly shrank his neck.

This man was the first knight to confront Mil and the others. After the lord found out about it, he focused on punching him a few times, and now it seems to have had a good effect.

"Thank you for your help."

Levi thanked the nobles in front of him who showed kindness to him.

He is a typical person who responds to soft words but not hard ones. Judging from the actions of these nobles who took the initiative to help him, he seemed to be quite good.

"In fact, without our help, His Excellency the Duke would probably have picked it up high and put it down lightly."

The noble who was the first to speak up to help Levi offered his hand: "I am Ando Tilly. I didn't expect that the appearance of the Lion Hunter Knight is completely different from what was rumored."

"I wonder how many noble girls will dream of him now."

After saying this, he winked mischievously, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Fuck, this guy is a fellow."

With just one sentence, Count Ando was labeled in the lord's mind.

This guy must be frequenting brothels!
"You must be Lord Luke." The lord then extended his hand to the pot-bellied elderly noble next to him.

Levi remembered very clearly the only two earls who wrote to him to show their goodwill, and he also asked Sikai about some things about the two of them.

The image of Count Luke was so obvious that Levi didn't think he would make a mistake.

The other minor nobles also came up and made themselves familiar with the place, then left tactfully, leaving the time to the two earls.

"Sir Levi, I'm sure you've read the letter I wrote. I personally think you and my three daughters will have a lot to talk about."

"Especially after seeing what you did today, I am even more convinced of this."

Luke Fuchs's rather plump face revealed an extremely gentle smile, and anyone who saw him would be tempted to like him.
