Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 407: Lao Li Gives You a Wife, Do You Want One?
For officers, every battle is usually the easiest when they are fighting, because during the battle they only need to consider how to complete the commander's established goals, but after the battle there are many more things to consider.

Even the lord, a hands-off boss, couldn't avoid it. Logistics, station arrangements, planning for each team, distribution of spoils...

It can be said that commanding 500 people and commanding 50,000 people are two completely different concepts.

Therefore, Duke Finn's so-called banquet was naturally rejected without any hesitation.

However, both the officers of the vanguard army and the nobles of Sturge Castle in the East Territory expressed their understanding and reasonably postponed the date of the banquet until the Lord of High Cliff Castle made time.

Sterchi City, the temporary base of the vanguard army.

"Everyone is waiting for you now, even Duke Finn." In a small mahogany house, Leah was sitting on a chair with a resentful look on her face.

"Does this banquet have to be held?" The lord stretched and signaled the maid Medusa, who looked aggrieved, to take the books off the table.

After all these beautiful snake-like girls were captured alive, the lord, in accordance with Gaoya Castle's principle of not keeping idle people, directly brought all of them to his side to serve as maids.

This caused the goat-man maids who were brought there to burst into tears, thinking that they had been abandoned by Levi. It took a while of coaxing before they smiled again.

Now that he has reached this status and position, Levi no longer has any principles to hide.

In front of Leah, he lay on a chair, with Medusa and goat girls standing behind him. Several beautiful snakes reluctantly massaged his shoulders to loosen his joints, while several goat girls concentrated on massaging his legs to loosen his tendons.

One race has a voluptuous figure and charming face, which can arouse the most ardent desire in men's hearts. Another race is petite and cute, with a weak character, which makes people pity them. The stronger racial characteristics of each race add to the exotic style, and the fat and thin people are squeezed together, and the extravagant style is simply unbearable to watch.

"When will Derby change this bad habit of holding a banquet just to win a battle?" Levi shook his head. He has never been fond of the practice of popping champagne at halftime, because what's the difference between this and raising a flag.

"It's all for you, the Dragon Knight, the Legendary Warrior, any one of these alone is enough to make them feel cold." Leah couldn't bear it any longer, but she didn't have the status to interfere with the private life of the Lord of Highcliff Castle. She could only signal with her eyes the drow who was eating melon seeds next to her.

After all, this person is also one of Levi's wives.

Heather just spread her hands, indicating that she was helpless to help.

If she had only admired the strong before and relied on the Lord to live on the ground, now she was completely impressed by the Lord in every way.

Leah looked at the drow's expression, feeling somewhat helpless. She tapped the table with her fingers and said seriously, "The banquet is not a bad custom, but politics. These nobles need to see you in person to confirm your attitude and temperament."

"If you don't participate, it will only make them feel uneasy and think you are too arrogant and a loner, which will cause a lot of trouble. Although these troubles are nothing to you, just going there once, even if it's just perfunctory, can avoid troubles that may occur in the future. I think it's a very worthwhile thing."

"Yes, you are right."

Levi's body felt extremely comfortable under the strong kneading of the Medusas, whose sweaty foreheads were dripping with sweat.

Of course he understood what Leah meant.

War is the clash of swords, the simplicity and brutality of blood and fire. There is no need to consider too many things.

After the war, there was a careful calculation of interests and it was full of intrigues.

"Honey, I just want to try some seafood. Sturge Castle is by the sea, so there must be lots of fresh prawns and fish." Heather finally put down the melon seeds and said with anticipation.

The food underground was so bad that after returning to the surface, she ate so much in Gaoya Castle that she didn't want to leave. The only thing she thought about every day was her cultivation and what to eat next.

"Okay, it's a free meal, it would be a waste not to eat it." Levi nodded, thinking about taking the two big-bellied men, Zamanzi and Worebel, with him later.

……

As the night deepened, the hall of Sturge Castle was decorated magnificently thanks to the efforts of the waiters.

Nobles in well-dressed suits and with neatly groomed hair, as well as ladies dressed up in gorgeous attire and with graceful figures, poured into this hall that could accommodate hundreds of people.

Each of them scanned the crowd with excited eyes, trying to find the figure of the dragon knight.

Everyone knows the real protagonist of this banquet.

As a young man walked in from the door, his agile figure and handsome face caught everyone's attention like a big hand.

Levi nodded slightly to them and sat in the main seat without any doubt.

To be fair, this banquet was no different from what the lord had expected. It was either a flood of flattery or frequent toasts to some boring things.

The only thing that made the lord feel somewhat amused was that the group of noble ladies were like kind-hearted bodhisattvas. Whenever he looked over there, they almost wanted to take off all their clothes, revealing their spring beauty, which gave Levi a feast for the eyes.

But it became boring after watching it for too long, so Levi found a random excuse and left the officers of Gaoya Castle to continue eating and drinking here, while he went outside to get some fresh air.

Standing on the balcony of the castle, looking at Sturge Castle under the moonlight, the lord suddenly had a sense of absurdity.

The city was in ruins due to the war, and countless civilians had to live in simple shacks. They even had to rely on "kind-hearted" nobles to distribute food to them.

But the castle was filled with luxury, with wine and all kinds of delicacies being spent lavishly as if they were free.

The cost of this banquet alone is enough to provide food for the civilians of Sturge Castle for a month.

Levi shook his head. This had nothing to do with him. He just needed to manage the wilderness well.

All he could do was to ensure that the common people in his own small piece of land had enough food and clothing, eliminated forced prostitutes and slaves, and gave them appropriate justice.

Ding dong~
Suddenly, a slight sound drew the lord's attention over there.

It was only then that I discovered that a little blue-haired girl, probably only thirteen or fourteen years old, accidentally fell in the corridor, and the wine in her hand fell to the ground, spilling all over the floor.

"Lord Levi... I'm sorry. I was so careless." The little girl looked terrified and spoke incoherently.

"Are you hurt?" Levi raised his eyebrows, walked over, took her hand and pulled her up from the ground.

"It hurts~"

As a result, just as he was pulled up, the other person fell to the ground again, with his small eyebrows wrinkled.

"Did you sprain your ankle?"

Levi slowly squatted down, lifted the other person's little feet with one hand, and slowly took off the white socks, revealing that the ankles were extremely red.

Feeling the warm touch of the big hand, the little girl's face turned slightly red.

"Don't move, I will heal you now." A ball of holy light surged out from the palm of her hand and enveloped the jade-white ankle. The girl, who had never experienced such comfort, could not help but hum.

"All right."

A magnetic voice sounded, and the little girl stood up from the ground, stamped her feet, and found that she was really healed.

"What's your name?" Levi asked the little girl with blue hair who looked four points like the queen.

"Sir, my name is Jamila Augustus, the niece of Duke Finn." Jamila's ears turned red when she thought of her rudeness just now.

She secretly looked at the famous dragon knight. He was more handsome and gentle than she had imagined, even more handsome and better than the prince in the knight novels.

"I didn't expect that our famous dragon knight would be so gentle." A loud voice suddenly sounded at the end of the corridor: "I hope I didn't disturb you, but there is no way. Look what kind of person I brought to you!"

A one-armed man with silver hair and a resolute face came into their sight from the end of the corridor, followed by Heather, Leah and some others.

"Lord Levi, I'm leaving first." Although Yamila was still young, she knew that this kind of scene was no longer suitable for her to stay in. She hurriedly cleaned up the ground and left from the other end.

"Tsk tsk, the daughter of old guy Finn?" The person who came was obviously Bernard, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He had an ambiguous expression on his face.

"No, it's my niece." The lord looked at the group of people behind him curiously.

From what the old guy said just now, it seems that he brought some extraordinary person. This guy is the governor, second only to the emperor. Anyone who is considered so awesome by him must be quite extraordinary.

"Levi is such an enviable man of beauty." Bernard made a joke with a little leisure.

Both of them were smart people and knew exactly what had happened.

"I currently have no intention of getting married, especially to a little girl," Levi said.

He thought of Ashlu who was still in Highcliff Castle. The little princess of Debe was his fiancée, and he didn't want Highcliff Castle to become a kindergarten for training fiancées.

"No, that won't do. This time I brought you your future wife." Bernard approached the Lord of Highcliff Castle and whispered.

"Huh?" Levi was stunned, completely confused by Bernard's words.

"Levi, let me introduce to you the chief of the Medusa clan from the Persian Gulf Empire, Lord Ivra Cui. This lady is also a legend like you, and not just an ordinary legend." Bernard took a deep breath, turned sideways, bowed slightly and made a gesture of invitation.

Heather, Leah and the others also made way, and a beautiful figure slowly swam out from behind them.

"Worthy!"

The lord racked his brains, but he never expected that the visitor would be the leader of the Medusa clan, let alone a great beauty.

"Good night, Lord Levi." Evela looked at the human man in front of her unscrupulously and nodded secretly.

The other person's appearance made her extremely satisfied.

"Nice to meet you. I am Knight Deberon, Lord of Highcliffe, Duke of the Kingdom, Levi Targaryen." The lord still adhered to the etiquette of the nobility and nodded slightly.

Then he took a deep breath and looked around, "Who can tell me what exactly happened?"

He really couldn't understand why this Medusa leader appeared here and mixed with their group of Debe people.

And Bernard's previous words made his heart tremble even more.

"Let me tell you everything, but this is not a good place. Why don't we go to your conference room, Levi, and talk in detail?" Bernard stood up.

Naturally, everyone had no objection. After notifying Duke Finn, they all returned to the command center at Gaoya Castle.

……

"In other words, this time, the vanguard of the Persian Gulf Empire has been wiped out by you?" Levi asked in disbelief in the temporary command room three hours later.

"Almost. Right now they are taking in prisoners and cleaning up the spoils on the sea. I brought a small team to Sturge Castle in advance because of an important matter." Bernard took a sip of hot tea slowly.

"That's awesome, old man!" The lord gave a thumbs up in admiration.

I didn't expect that while I was dealing with the rear end at Sterchi Castle, the other side had already taken the opportunity to clean up those defeated Persian Gulf people. This decisiveness and strategy are truly admirable.

"In fact, if it weren't for Lady Ivra, I would have been completely defeated in this war." Bernard smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Winning is winning, there are not so many ifs."

"That's true."

"Alright, alright. I want to know why you want to help us, Evela?" The lord's gaze was cast on the Medusa chieftain in front of him again. A group of Medusas were gathered around her.

The group of beautiful snakes he captured were crying to the beauty about the evil deeds the lord had done to them in the past few days, such as washing clothes, massaging backs, etc. He even stopped short of accusing them of the false charge of warming the bed.

"As early as the day I was born, the dark goddess with infinite wisdom has guided me. My future husband's name is Levi." Yifura stopped the beautiful snakes from crying and looked at Levi with her big eyes that seemed to contain spring spinach: "And you are an extremely powerful dragon knight. I have been waiting for your appearance for fifty years!"

"Depend on!"

The lord almost fell to the ground.

Medusa and Leah and the others around were all dumbfounded.

The Medusas were unaware that their tears had fallen to the ground, and their beautiful faces were filled with disbelief.

The tyrant they accused turned out to be their future husband, the clan leader, in the blink of an eye.

They began to regret whether they had said something too harsh just now, otherwise they would be troubled in the future.

Leah was also dumbfounded, and she looked even more beautiful when she was dumbfounded.

Some people are born extraordinary. Even if they sit at home and do nothing, countless beauties will come to them.

Leah discovered that this person seemed to be Levi.
