Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 316 Plan
As soon as the lord spoke, everyone's eyes were focused on the knight and two attendants lying on the ground.

These three guys had just been knocked to the ground by Zha Manzi's punch. They could have gotten up long ago, but when they saw that the situation was not right, they just lay on the ground pretending to be dead in an attempt to get away with it.

The barbarians didn't care whether he was really dead or pretending to be dead. They sneered and grabbed one of them by the scruff of the neck and brought him in front of the lord like a chicken.

"Sam, who hit you?" Levi sat on the broken pillar with his arms and legs stretched out, and snapped his fingers.

"Sir, that's the guy!" Sam, who was untied, pointed at the tall knight in the middle and said angrily, "His name is Crowe, and I heard he's a security captain."

"Who cares?" Li Wei sneered and waved his hand: "Go, go up and slap him twice to teach him a lesson!"

To deal with such a small character, it seems a bit embarrassing to do it yourself, but fortunately, the Gaoyabao Brigade has no shortage of guys with strong hands-on skills.

Kro's face was as pale as paper, his lips trembling, he wanted to beg for mercy but couldn't make a sound. He knew that he had offended someone he shouldn't have offended, the alcohol had long gone, and only fear remained in his heart. At this moment, he only hoped that the Marquis Levi would let him go after slapping him a few times to vent his anger.

Sam straightened his back, walked in front of the burly knight who was about 1.9 meters tall, grinned, revealing two rows of big yellow teeth, and slapped him left and right with his hands.

"Clap!"

The crisp sound echoed throughout the street.

The prostitutes who were lying on the beds on the second floor of Red Velvet and watching covered their mouths, fearing that they would scream out loud.

This captain of the peace knights often came to Red Velvet for entertainment. She was usually very proud of her status, but now she was slapped twice in public by a guy they thought was a country bumpkin.

Sam became even more proud and looked around proudly, showing his ability to take advantage of others to the fullest.

"Kro is dead this time." Margaret looked at the majestic figure of the lord. He alone was able to intimidate hundreds of people present so much that they dared not even breathe.

Her pretty eyes were almost tearing out of silk: "As expected of a famous lion hunter knight, this aura alone is enough to make people unable to move their legs."

The knight captain trembled all over and stammered, "Sir, I...I was just confused for a moment, please forgive me!"

"Forgive you?" The lord smiled, looking unusually kind. "You insulted the Marquis of Debe and beat up my shaman, and you still want me to forgive you?"

Seeing this, the surrounding Gunda guards lowered their heads and dared not speak.

The guards who were still groaning on the ground also endured the pain and shut their mouths.

"Sir, look at this matter..." The middle-aged noble sheriff walked forward cautiously, trying to ease the atmosphere.

"Shut up!" The Lord turned his head and glared at him. "As the sheriff, you allowed your men to insult Highcliff Castle and beat up my shaman. You are also responsible!"

The sheriff took two steps back in fear and waved his hands, saying, "Sir, I really don't know anything about this! I just arrived..."

"You didn't know?" The Lord stood up and patted him on the shoulder, smiling and said, "It's better that you don't know!"

The middle-aged nobleman was so frightened that his neck shrank and his face was tearful.

"Leighton, what is the crime of insulting the nobles and beating the officers of Highcliff Castle without reason?"

"Sir, according to the Derby Law, those who insult nobles will have their tongues cut off to prevent them from speaking rudely again. Combined with the beating of officers, these three guys should have their tongues cut off and be whipped in public!" Leighton's tone was very cold, listing the punishments one by one, "And the guards who participated in the fight are also jointly responsible."

"What's going on?" At this moment, Ferro squeezed in from the crowd with two bodyguards.

"Your Majesty, you are finally here!" The middle-aged nobleman seemed to have seen a savior. He ran over and hugged Ferro's thighs, and told him what had just happened with tears and snot.

Ferro had a look of disgust on his face, but he had to maintain the dignity of a noble. He comforted the middle-aged noble with soft words before coming to the lord.

"Are you here to make a small matter disappear as well?" The lord glanced at the prince.

"On the contrary, I personally think that this matter is definitely not that simple." Unexpectedly, Ferro smiled slightly, his eyes deep and shrewd.

"Lord Levi, you might as well think about why a knight dared to beat up an officer of Highcliff Castle and insult a marquis."

Levi was stunned. The matter was actually very clear.

These three bastards were drunk, and they were emboldened by the alcohol. They thought that old man Sam was easy to bully, so they just started to attack him.

After all, it is just one of the daily jobs for these guys in Gunda to bully helpless civilians by relying on their status, but they didn't expect to hit a wall this time.

But after Ferro said this, the lord seemed to understand something.

The middle-aged nobleman next to him also realized that something was wrong, but it was too late. The next moment, Ferro's words made him completely pale.

"Tell me, who is the leader who ordered you to do this?"

"I..." Kro looked confused. He also wanted to know who was ordering him to do so!
"You'd better know who is the mastermind behind you, otherwise..." The lord carefully wiped the mithril sword that was shining with cold light with a white handkerchief, snorted and sneered twice, and everything was said without words.

Of course, Kro didn't want to die, but he really didn't know who was the mastermind behind him.

But in most cases, when the other party starts asking back, you have to have it even if you don’t have it.

"My Lord, I confess. I admit that I did it behind the scenes..."

Faced with the crisis of life and death, the knight finally burst out with wisdom far beyond his own ability.

"I see. As for who it is, we can talk about it when we get back." But he was interrupted by Ferro halfway through. The prince laughed like an old fox. He looked at Margaret beside the red velvet bed and said, "And this lady, you and that prostitute are also suspects. We need you to leave with us."

Margery was shocked, but it was too late.

"Take them away! Take them away! Take them all away!" The Lord looked at Margaret, who was still in a state of panic, and waved his hand fiercely. The barbarians of High Cliff Castle began to act in groups, and perfectly executed the Lord's orders with a strict attitude.

Trying not to spare even a fly, he chased all the prostitutes out of Red Velvet.

Faced with a crying, delicate-looking prostitute, these big, scary-looking rough guys had no mercy on her.

Just a few hundred pulses drove the gorgeously dressed prostitutes to the middle of the street. Some of them had not even had time to put on their clothes, with only some simple cloth to cover their bodies.

"Lord Levi, we don't need so many. We just need to take away Margaret and the maid who had a conflict with Kro." Even Ferro could not help but hold his forehead with his hand at Levi's behavior.

Levi waved his hand and the barbarians immediately dispersed. When the other prostitutes returned to Red Velvet like young swallows returning to their nests, only five people were left, surrounded by the barbarians with a covetous look in their eyes.

Margaret watched all this silently, her brows knitted unconsciously. Even the hundred or so fully armed guards were no match for the subordinates of the Lord of Highcliff Castle, not to mention the group of wandering knights raised by Red Velvet.
As for bringing out the person behind the scenes? She didn't think that Marquis Levi, who even dared to slay the dragon, would be afraid of this.

After a long while, she said resignedly, "You don't have to do this, sir. If you need me to do anything, please tell me."

"You are a smart person." Levi glanced at the woman, then snapped his fingers, "Pack up and go home!"

What no one expected was that the cowardly and incompetent sheriff actually mustered up the courage at this time and stood in front of the Gaoyabao Brigade.

"My Lord, you can't do this!"

"No matter how Kro offends you, he should be punished on the spot or handed over to the court of the Noble Garden for judgment, instead of being taken away privately by you!" No matter how scared the middle-aged noble was in his heart, he still mustered up his courage and kept swallowing his saliva.

He has realized that something is wrong!
If the Lord of Highcliff Castle was allowed to take Kro away, then the incident of Kro's personal offense against Highcliff Castle would probably escalate to an unimaginable level.

He couldn't help trembling just thinking about the people who would be involved.

"Remember what I just said?" Levi put his hands in his trouser pockets, looking down at the sheriff who was a head shorter than him, and said calmly: "It's better if this matter has nothing to do with you."

"..." The sheriff, who had finally mustered up the courage, suddenly seemed to be in a nightmare. He opened his mouth twice but could not speak anymore.

Looking at the other person's eyes that were as calm as a lake, he felt as if a giant dragon covering the sky and the sun was looking down at him, and he would be swallowed into ashes by the dragon's breath in the next second.

"Sir, Kro is a knight appointed by His Royal Highness the Prince. If you take him away, it may cause dissatisfaction to His Royal Highness the Prince..." he stammered.

"Dissatisfied? He'd better pray that I'm not dissatisfied!" Levi smiled slightly, put his hands in his pockets and walked towards Ferro's inn in Gunda without looking back.

Hearing that the prince had bought a magnificent courtyard in Gonda, he went there to have a meal.

The food in the Holy Light Church is too light. It’s okay to eat there occasionally, but eating there every day is simply not a place for human beings to stay.

The Gunda guards could only watch as the people from High Cliff Castle left proudly. To be honest, although these ordinary guards who patrol Gunda and maintain law and order do not have a very high status, as the local bosses of Gunda, they still have the support of His Royal Highness Prince Bedoyer. It is rare for them to encounter someone who beats them all up and ignores them like ants on the roadside.

The residents of the royal capital really have the temperament of not fearing even the sky falling. When the two sides clashed just now, not only did they surround the two sides in three circles inside and outside to watch the excitement, but now that they see that the conflict has not continued to escalate, they all showed disappointed expressions.

On the other hand, some mercenaries and rangers saw with their own eyes that the man they admired was as domineering as in the legend, and they all showed excitement and excitement. They gathered together to discuss when to go to High Cliff Castle together to join this Lion Hunter Knight and contribute to this lord's career!
The fully armed knights stared at the lord's figure until he disappeared from sight, then turned to the sheriff and asked, "Sir, why didn't you continue to stop Marquis Levi?"

"That's right. If he were to take Captain Kro away like this, His Highness Bedoyle would definitely be furious."

The sheriff's legs went limp and he sat on the ground. The knights were shocked to find that their lord's face was pale and his clothes on his back had been soaked with sweat and stuck to his back. "You know shit!"

"I just felt like I was in the hands of the god of death!"

"This Lord Marquis Levi is a super ruthless person. You should all hide for the time being and try not to go out. If you go out, don't provoke them."

"We have His Highness Bedoyle behind us, so there's no need to be so afraid of them, right?" said a knight with a scar on his face.

It’s no wonder they think so. They are all elite guards of the royal city with regiment numbers, and are directly under the command of His Royal Highness Prince Bayir. It’s not an exaggeration to say that they are the royal guards.

The royal city was not short of nobles and royal families, and even a marquis would not easily offend them.

"Your Highness?" The sheriff sneered twice with ambiguous meanings. In history, there were many princes who were killed by legendary strongmen, but there was no sight of those kings going against a legendary strongman just for a dead son.

Of course, he would not say such words. Only a few people knew that the Lord of High Cliff Castle was a legendary strongman. He just kicked his nephew and said, "Go ahead if you want to die. Even His Majesty the King can't save you!"

……

Levi came to Ferro's courtyard in Gunda. This courtyard called "Glory of the Silver Moon" was located in the richest area of ​​Gunda. The simplest house here cost nearly a thousand gold grams to buy.

The first thing that caught my eye was the spacious hall, with a ceiling that was several dozen blades high, and a huge crystal chandelier hanging from it, inlaid with countless magic gems, emitting a soft glow. The floor of the hall was covered with a gorgeous carpet embroidered with intricate patterns, as if every step was in the clouds.

There are long corridors on both sides of the hall. The walls of the corridors are covered with portraits of family members from past generations. Each painting seems to be gazing at the visitors, revealing a sense of majesty and mystery.

At the end of the corridor is the study, which is filled with ancient books and scrolls. The bookshelves are inlaid with magical runes to ensure that this precious knowledge will never be eroded by time.

Behind the courtyard is a huge garden full of exotic flowers and plants, and each plant exudes a faint magical scent.

The lord looked around with his hands behind his back, pretending to be serious, and the urge to rob became stronger and stronger.

"I didn't expect that Your Excellency the Prince would be so interested in these remote magics."

The sharp-eyed Fu Jin was surprised to find a book called "The Theory of Magic of the Agricultural School" on the bookshelf in the study.

"I was diagnosed with magical talent since I was a child, but the saddest thing in the world is that you are given the opportunity to see the sky, but you can never touch the sky." The prince showed a rare look of emotion.
