Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 370 Interrogation
A team of griffin knights from Gunda, wearing golden armor, slowly rose into the air under the indifferent gaze of the griffin archers from High Cliff Castle, as if they were escaping, and flew towards the sky on the horizon impatiently.

"Goodbye, dear Governor Bernard, dear old Man, beautiful Tanis, be careful on your journey, and we will meet again someday!"

In order to show his respect, the lord stood on the platform and waved his hands continuously, like an old father seeing off a child.

Little Buji followed suit and stood on the lord's shoulder, tiptoeing on his snow-white feet, waving a white handkerchief that he had just used to wipe his mouth, which was still stained with some black pine cake crumbs.

To be honest, in order to show his respect for the Governor's visit to Gaoya Castle, Levi originally wanted to pull out his own rabbit guard of honor to see him off, but when he saw the guards dressed in red and green, he sternly refused.

"Look at you guys. I told you that the people on the other side were his Majesty's personal soldiers and asked you to be gentle, but you ended up beating them into pigs' heads. Now, you've made Gaoya Castle save a few meals and punished you to eat their portions." Levi said to the griffin knights, causing these Fed knights to touch the back of their heads and smile foolishly.

Now, in addition to Gunda, Highcliff Castle also has griffins in Debe. As we all know, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. When these griffin knights of Gunda found that the griffins of Highcliff Castle had been tamed, they took the initiative to propose a competition.

The result was naturally beyond doubt. Apart from the opponent's fighting spirit which caused the Fed Griffin Knights to have some trouble, they completely defeated the opponent in terms of archery, martial arts, or controlling the griffins.

It makes these Gunda's griffin riders look like a bunch of idiots.

All strong people are proud. These griffin knights were too embarrassed to stay in Highcliff Castle any longer, so they packed up Bernard and his group and left without even having dinner.

"What are you thinking about? Why are you still looking at him after he's left?" Levi slapped Mir on the shoulder and asked with a half-smile, "Why, are you attracted to him?"

How could the young man hide his thoughts? When asked by the lord, his face immediately turned red like a monkey's butt. He wanted to say something to cover it up. In the end, he found that he didn't have the thick skin like Levi, so he could only say: "She is the governor's daughter, and I am just a country knight."

These words were somewhat self-pitying, which annoyed Zhamanzi next to him. He immediately said with a bandit-like tone: "Mier, if you really like her, I will bring people to snatch her back to you as your wife before she leaves far away."

The Lord gave the fool a slap on the neck, and as he covered his neck and grimaced, he said speechlessly: "We are the noble Lords of Debe, not some bandits in the mountains!"

"What country knight? I just don't like you." Levi said angrily, "There are many kings in this world, but only one dragon knight. And this dragon knight happens to be your brother-in-law. Doesn't this mean that you are more bully than the prince?"

"Then I am equivalent to the king's court wizard." Sam at the side interjected.

"Bullshit. With your mediocre magic, you're just like the foot-washing messenger of the court wizard, who's old and ugly." Zat picked his nose and sneered.

Sam habitually opened his mouth to curse, but when he looked at the orc's arms that were thicker than his waist, he finally held it back before he could say anything.

"Forget it. Why bother with this brawny brute? How can a summer bug understand the feeling of winter?"

"Young man, stand up." Before leaving, Levi said something that no one understood: "As long as you find an opportunity to make things right with the other party, I will take care of Bernard."

This statement is almost explicit. If Mil still doesn't understand, then he, as her brother-in-law, can't help her.

Although Tanis despised those mean-spirited people, Levi didn't mind them.

This just proves that the other party is a qualified knight who abides by the chivalric creed, but he may be a little stubborn.

And if Mil really captured the other party, it would not be excessive to let him abduct some of the old man Bernard's elite soldiers as a dowry.

Levi, who had nothing to do, started thinking about all kinds of things.

……

There is one more thing to do before heading to Gonda.

In the hall, Levi sat in the main seat with his arms and legs crossed. Beside him sat Tina, Heather, Tiffany, and his young fiancée Ashlu. The other leaders of Highcliff Castle, who were as tall as mountains, sat on chairs on both sides.

"Go and bring up Kemish for interrogation." Levi snapped his fingers, and two rabbit guards jumped up to escort the prisoner.

Originally, Kemish was detained in High Cliff Castle in order to extort a ransom, but unexpectedly this guy was also an unlucky guy. He was directly sentenced to death by King Finn IX, and the ransom was naturally lost.

As for the lord who likes to pluck feathers from passing geese and spare the legs of passing flies, he has to consider whether he can make good use of the waste and squeeze out the last bit of value from the opponent.

"It is almost inevitable to fight a war with the Persian Gulf Empire, but to reach their land, we must cross a vast ocean." Waiting is always hard, and Levi is ready to talk about something else first. He looked at the leaders who had never been out to sea, and said, "I will definitely leave some people behind to guard the High Cliff Fort, so those who are not seasick can go with me, and those who are seasick can stay behind."

"Raise your hands if you don't feel seasick now."

Swish swish!
With almost no hesitation, everyone in the hall raised their hands, even though they had never been on a boat before. Only a thin figure quietly hid in the corner.

"I shouldn't have asked you so many questions." Levi cursed with a smile, then glanced at Sam in the corner, scaring the old shaman so much that he thought he had aroused the tyrant's anger again, and he dared not say a word.

This old guy still showed his fear of death to the fullest.

"Boss, I'm your personal bodyguard, so I must go." Zat grinned and said as a matter of course.

"I think you definitely need scouts, my lord. We are your eyes, and we will use our flesh and blood to help you see everything clearly." Hogg was carving a small scimitar with a carving knife. This was a gift he prepared for his cub before he left.

"Please feel free to leave, sir. We will take care of the affairs of Gaoya Castle while you are away, so you don't have to worry about anything far away." Elder Tang Jinmo said calmly, and several other turtle scholars also nodded.

"Even the sea cannot stop the iron hoof of Lenier. You can kill whoever you want, no matter where or whoever it is." The Centaur Gus grinned fiercely. His bronze muscles and body that was taller than the Lord even when lying on the ground said it all. "I remember that Centaurs don't like ships very much." Levi was helpless: "Others may be able to overcome it, but you are born with four hooves, and you value balance more. You can't keep your balance if you shake a little."

“Please allow me, an old scholar, to show off my knowledge.” Elder Model looked at the Lord, and after getting his approval, he looked at the people and horses: “Lord Gus, sailing is more terrifying than you might imagine. Long voyages are not only accompanied by storms and tsunamis, but also various diseases.”

"If it is a short voyage, I believe that you, Lord Gus, are the bravest warriors I have ever seen in my life, and you are enough to overcome it. However, even if we set out from the nearest port of Sterchi, it will take more than a month to reach the Persian Gulf Empire."

"This time is very terrifying. Even the bravest warriors will have sequelae after experiencing this voyage, such as weak legs, dizziness, etc., and it is even more serious for people and horses."

"Perhaps it would be more convincing to bring out data. Once a slave ship came to Derby from the Persian Gulf Empire. The slaves it transported were centaurs, a branch of the Centaurs. When it arrived in Derby, nearly half of the centaurs died. The other half, although they survived by chance, suffered severe sequelae and could no longer run on the grasslands like before."

"The centaur, who is good at running like the wind, is afraid of running."

"Everyone says this is a curse from the Poseidon because she and the main god of your Centaur tribe are not on good terms."

The model elder shook his head, feeling very emotional.

The audience also sighed. They didn't expect that this model elder actually knew such obscure things. While they admired his extensive knowledge, they also felt sorry for Gus.

Gus fell silent, rarely making any rebuttal.

"Gus staying at Highcliff Castle is no less important than going to the war with me. On the contrary, it is extremely important. This is our safe haven and we cannot afford any loss." Li Wei comforted this tall man, "When we are not here, Highcliff Castle will depend on you. Prevent some blind scoundrels from attacking Highcliff Castle by mistake because I am not here."

In fact, given the reputation he had accumulated bit by bit in Derby with his blood and flesh, almost no local dared to risk offending a dragon knight by attacking Highcliff Castle.

But it's better to be safe than sorry.

"I will ask Leighton to draw up a list of people who will participate in the war later. Everyone on the list will go to Half Moon Harbor to experience sea sailing." Levi simply waved his hand to put an end to the matter.

The leaders of Gaoya Fort, including the soldiers, are eager to fight because of the existence of the system, and no one is afraid of the battlefield.

Therefore, asking them who wants to join the war is a pointless question, because the outcome has already been determined, so it is better to just let one person have the final say.

"Wow, our respected and noble Lord Lord Kemish is here." Levi said sarcastically.

I thought I could get a large ransom from the other party, but it turned out to be a money-loser. No one would be in a good mood.

Kemish was quite happy when he was suddenly summoned, thinking that someone from the country had come to pay the ransom and rescue him from this prison that was like hell. However, his heart sank instantly when he heard this. Even a fool could sense the dissatisfaction in the words.

Is the ransom not enough? Or something else?
As a prisoner, Kemish looked no different from a poor country pig fanner at this moment, wearing a dirty gray apron and holding a knife in his hand.

It is not difficult to guess that the other party must have been working hard to remove the root of troubles for a piglet, but his technique may be a bit poor, and there are several hoof prints on his clothes, and some gray-green sticky substances are hanging on them.

Several girls said goodbye to Levi, as the bloody torture that might happen next might be unacceptable to them.

Looking at the ferocious orcs on both sides who were glaring at him and wanted to eat him alive, he walked into the center of the hall with a thump in his heart. Then he looked at the lord who was looking down at him like a dragon in the main seat. Without waiting for the bunny guards behind him to show off, he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "My lord, what do you want from me?"

This period of slavery made him see many things clearly. No matter how noble his status was before, he was now a prisoner whose life was in the hands of others. If he wanted to survive, he could only abide by his current status.

If it were in the past, he might have said something passionately about dying rather than surrendering, but now, let alone kneeling down, he would even be willing to lick shoes as long as he could survive.

"Mr. Kemish, you are already dead." Levi's first sentence almost stunned Kemish.

"Whether you think I'm trying to scare you or deceive you, my lord, I'm just stating a boring fact." Without waiting for the other party to think about it, Levi took out a document from the Noble Garden and handed it to Leighton next to him, who then handed it to Kemish.

As a nobleman who had received an excellent education, Kemish was naturally familiar with the documents of the Noble Court. He knew them all after just one glance. The official seal on them was also the symbol of the Derby Noble Court and it was impossible to forge them.

"The Persian Gulf Empire and Debe have gone to war... I have been abandoned... This... This is impossible..."

The content inside was like a huge surging wave, which suddenly knocked Kemish unconscious. His voice was hoarse as if it was scraped by a sharp blade, and his eyes were blank like a black-skinned slave who was whipped a hundred times in the High Cliff Iron Mine.

"Nothing is impossible. Your 'great' king believed that you had been ruthlessly killed by me. Your father even swore an oath to cut me into pieces and repay the blood debt with blood." The lord sneered, and the coldness that came out of it made Kemish feel colder all over than the sharp dagger that kept turning in his hand.

"Yes, I'm dead. I'm still alive, but in everyone's eyes I'm already dead." Kemish muttered to himself. He was so shocked by the news that he didn't know what to say.

"Gaoya Castle doesn't support idlers." The viciousness on Levi's face almost turned into reality: "You'd better have some value that can satisfy me, otherwise..."

The hideous smile in the darkness instantly brought Khemish back to reality.

"I..." Of course, Kemish Blue Diamond didn't want to die. As long as people don't want to die, they will desperately grab at even a straw.

But the problem was that for a moment he really didn't know what value he had. As everyone knew, the most valuable property was physical property, and his physical property was those Mamluk soldiers, but now they were all mining in High Cliff Castle, and even he had to work.
