Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 29 This is our home

Levi was not the first pioneer of this land, and this wooden house is the trace left by his predecessors.

This is an extremely advantageous geographical location both from a military and environmental perspective.

This hill is a rare commanding height in the vast flat wilderness. What's even more rare is that there is a pool of water with a spring next to the wooden house.

This pool of water flows from the top of the hill to the bottom, becoming a stream, winding its way into the depths of the wilderness, and gradually converges into a small river.

If a war breaks out in the future and this place is besieged, the defenders will not only have the advantage of geographical location, but also have access to stable water resources.

This pool of water is a spring, and the tactic of using dead bodies to pollute the water source will be useless to the defenders.

From a development perspective, with this water resource, there will be no problems with water shortage or drought when farming.

This is undoubtedly an excellent territory to explore.

I just don't know why the previous pioneer abandoned it.

"This will be our home from now on." Levi said so, and the orcs and barbarians had no objection.

For them, wherever the boss says is their new home, that is it.

Moreover, based on their years of experience living in the wilderness, they knew that this location was a hot commodity and a rare good place.

And such locations are often not unowned lands. Even if the pioneers leave, they will not be abandoned and a group of ogres will occupy this location.

Levi really couldn't understand how a group of cowardly and timid gnolls, who were at the bottom of the wilderness, could occupy this perfect location.

Logically speaking, a superior geographical location would often attract powerful tribes to settle down, and the weak ogres have never been able to defend a piece of land.

Most of them become vassals of powerful races, or wander in the wilderness, or linger in some poor place where no one looks down on them.

Levi was too lazy to think too much about this mediocre opponent, so he just held up three fingers: "Three minutes, no one will be left alive."

The impatient orcs rushed forward, howling.

The gnolls who were in a dream had not yet reacted when they were punched into paper figures by the orcs.

Knowing that this was their future home, the orcs did not use any weapons to avoid bloodshed. They just beat all the ogres to death with just punches and kicks.

These gnolls are all skinny and only as tall as the orcs' waists, so they are really no match for them.

Especially in order to avoid consumption, generally, after eating, the gnolls will lie on the ground and are unwilling to move at all.

Combining the two, the orcs really didn't have to waste much effort and killed all the ogres in just over a minute.

Old Neil, who was also a dog-headed man, saw this scene and let out an imperceptible sigh.

As weak ogres, they are slaughtered at the mercy of others. In the wilderness, they can only have a chance to survive by relying on powerful races.

"Why, you feel sorry for your people?"

A voice suddenly came from the side. Looking at Levi's half-smile, Old Neil swallowed his saliva involuntarily, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Fortunately, it thought quickly and ran to a dead kobold, stomping on the corpse madly.

"Master, I spit on them. These damned gnolls refused to give up their positions when they saw me coming. Damn it!" Only after he crushed the chest of his fellow man's corpse did Old Neil secretly look up, only to find that Levi had already walked away.

I couldn't help but feel relieved.

This human noble lord is so terrifying. He seems to be smiling, but he may lose his temper the next moment.

After spending some time together, Old Neil has come to realize that if it is useful, the lord will reward it generously, but if it is useless, it will be abandoned without hesitation.

This hill rises up from the wilderness, with a trapezoidal slope converging upwards. The top of the hill has obviously been artificially leveled and is as big as a football field.

There is a wooden house in the center, and next to it is a slightly lower auxiliary house.

There is a circle of stone wall at the edge of the wooden house, and its height barely reaches Levi's chest. Perhaps for the ogres with an average height of 1.3 and 1.5 meters, this is indeed a real wall.

Levi could roughly guess what his predecessors had experienced in pioneering this territory.

After the predecessor discovered this location, the first step was to build a wooden house and establish a wall.

This is what almost every pioneer does at the beginning.

Then we started leveling the ground and planning to build more houses.

But just after he leveled the ground, the pioneer was attacked and died in the wilderness, or he was caught and forced to pay off his debts due to lack of funds and huge debts.

But no matter what, this perfect frontier territory is now Levi's bargain.

The condition of these two wooden houses was better than Levi had imagined. The wood used to build them was high-quality oak. Even after being exposed to wind and rain, they only looked slightly old and were not really corroded.

From this we can see that the original pioneers invested a lot of money in this place.

There were no leaks inside the house, but there was a foul smell because it was lived in by ogres. However, with a little cleaning, you can move in with your luggage.

Levi was slightly thankful that it was kobolds and not goblins who lived here.

If the goblins were rat-like creatures, the entire cabin would probably be filled with their excrement, and the stench could be smelled even from three miles away.

Although kobolds are one of the weakest races in the wilderness, they are intelligent and will excrete far away from where they sleep.

In addition, these ogres also stored some grass roots and dried meat strips in the wooden house. Levi certainly didn't dare to eat such food of unknown origin, so they all went to Old Neil and the others.

In addition, Levi also found some tattered cloth armor and weapons, and threw them all to the system store, thereby obtaining enough money to upgrade four orc barbarians.

It is not expensive to upgrade a third-level soldier to a fourth-level soldier. An orc barbarian can be upgraded with only ten silver grams.

After upgrading, the orc barbarian who received the "Gift from the God of War" was very proud and showed off his feelings to his friends.

After raising the ogres and goblins for so long, it’s time to put them to good use.

Under the supervision of the orcs, the ogres and goblins moved the supplies from the carriages at the foot of the mountain to the top of the hill bit by bit.

After the heavy baggage was unloaded, the slow horse was finally able to pull the empty cart up from the foot of the mountain.

The orcs began to set up tents on the flat ground in case they had to spend the night in the wild. After all, there were only two wooden houses, and they must belong to the leader.
