Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 39: Beristina's Decision
There was some commotion in the Gnoll camp at the foot of the hill. They also heard the warning from the orcs, but the visibility at the foot of the hill was poor and they could not see where the threat came from.

A dog-headed man tried to climb to the top of the hill to conduct reconnaissance. With a "swish", a steel javelin pierced into the grass in front of it with great sharpness, and the tail shaft was still shaking due to the huge force.

The orcs glanced over with eyes sharper than a blade, suppressing all the commotion of the kobolds.

This is a warning and also a contempt. Hyenas are not worthy of associating with lions. These muscular barbarians have never looked at these dog-headed men in the eye!

As time passed, the shadow got closer and closer to Highcliff Castle, and more details became clear one by one.

This was a team of twenty people, and the strange thing was that each of them was wearing a black hooded robe to cover their faces.

Levi's judgment that this group of people were human beings was not groundless.

Although their faces could not be seen clearly, judging from their body shapes and steps, they could only be humans.

The most important thing is that the natives in the wilderness are all rough and poor, so they don’t have extra money to do such supernatural things.

Generally, if there is a disagreement, they will just roll up their sleeves and compete with each other, without playing any nonsense.

Levi narrowed his eyes, wondering where this group of people came from. Finally, when he couldn't figure it out, he waved his hand.

"Throw a spear."

Immediately, a barbarian handed a javelin to his lord. Levi weighed it twice and then looked at the team in the distance.

No matter where this group of people came from or what ideas they had, it was necessary to let them know that Gaoya Castle was not so easy to mess with.

Next, whether it is war or negotiation, they have to weigh themselves carefully, and Gaoyabao can also gain the advantage.

At this moment, the distance between the two sides reached five hundred steps, which was beyond the shooting distance of a hand crossbow. Only a large crossbow could shoot so far.

Not to mention carbon-based organisms, but obviously our lord cannot treat them as ordinary carbon-based organisms.

Levi swung his arm and threw it hard. The fine steel javelin shot straight out, accompanied by bursts of breaking air sounds, and finally stabbed into the grass about three hundred steps away, almost completely embedded in it.

This is called shooting arrows as the boundary, and it is also a form of military deterrence. Once they cross this boundary, Gaoyabao has the right to take military action against them.

The team was startled by the extremely sharp spear and stopped as if discussing something, but they understood what it meant and continued to move forward, but at a much slower speed.

Levi's eyes became sharp and he followed them closely.

When the team reached the javelin throwing position, several hooded men tried to pull out the javelin, but they were unable to do anything and finally had to give up.

Just when Levi couldn't figure out what they were going to do.

The leading little potato took out a piece of white cloth and lifted it above his head with a small branch. Finally, the white cloth seemed to have a protective magic, which made them feel safe. They stepped over the javelins and continued to move forward firmly towards the location of the high cliff castle.

"Is this a surrender?"

Levi scratched his head, hesitant and not daring to make a rash definition.

Magic existed in this world thousands of years ago. Although the magic tide has receded in modern times and magic has become just street tricks, it is hard to say whether there is any witchcraft in the wilderness that does not require magic.

This group of people had unknown origins and were secretive, much like the wizards who controlled witchcraft.

This inconspicuous piece of white cloth might just be a decoy.

If he accidentally capsizes in the gutter, his reputation will be ruined. Maybe in the future he will become an emperor and become famous. Then people will say that although he is so successful now, he was capsized by a few wilderness wizards.

"It should be surrender."

Zat never thought about these imaginary things, and even if he did, he wouldn't care at all.

It had strong limbs but a simple mind, and thought that since the group had raised the white flag, it must have surrendered.

……

Beristina Danyasili is a princess, but to be more precise, she is the princess of a tribe of a thousand people.

The people of her tribe were descendants of the royal nobility of the former king. Their ancestors lived a luxurious life and the entire land of Debe once belonged to them.

But accidents always come unexpectedly. Civil strife broke out in the kingdom overnight. The Liouin family in the east launched a rebellion. The kingdom was caught off guard and the capital fell overnight.

Overnight, the entire Danyasili royal family became wanted fugitives.

In order to escape hunting, her ancestors hid in the Kaas Mountains in the northern wilderness. She is the descendant of one of the legitimate princesses.

After that, the Yuliin family successfully became king and changed the country's name to Debe, but still did not give up the hunt for them.

This made their survival extremely difficult, as the wilderness was already poor and all kinds of supplies were scarce.

Without any written records to record their inheritance, and relying solely on word of mouth, they no longer possess the knowledge and civilization of their ancestors. If they continue to reproduce from generation to generation, the newborn children will become no different from the savages in the Cass Mountains.

This is not groundless worry, but the royal family who fled into the Cass Mountains, her ancestors' brothers and sisters mated and reproduced with the savages of the Cass Mountains, and now have become no different from these northern savages.

Their tribe is the only remaining royal family with pure blood.

She knew clearly that her people were different from the savages around Cass.

They understand etiquette and the calendar, know how to worship their ancestors, cultivate the land, plant wheat, and wait for the harvest next year. When the Ice and Snow Goddess is on duty, they will sing poems that have been passed down for hundreds of years.

Instead of living a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood like savages.

She could fully predict the future of her people if they continued to hide in the Cass Mountains like their ancestors had done.

For the future of her people, Beristina made up her mind to walk out of the Cass Mountains and join a noble family in the Debe Kingdom.

But she was not sure whether the Kingdom of Derby was still looking for them after a hundred years. Not only might these nobles not accept them, but they might also report their whereabouts to the royal family of Derby.

So I've been waiting and watching.

Until a pioneer lord came to this wilderness.

The pioneer lord's subordinates were a group of orcs, and the gnoll tribes defeated by them became his subjects. He also did not despise the goblins and kobolds and made good use of them.

You have to know that Debe is a human country, and these nobles will not easily accept a group of foreigners.

This gave Bai Ruishina an opportunity. If this lord could accept even foreigners, then could their ancestors do the same?

In addition, other savage tribes in the Kaas Mountains were eyeing them covetously, so she decided to take a risk and give it a try as she had no time.

This is the opportunity that Christina saw!
