Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 41: Stormy Wilderness

"Mr. Levi, your reputation has spread far and wide in the wilderness. Although this reputation has allowed you to spend a short period of peace and stability, I have heard some rumors that the natives are trying to form a wilderness coalition, and their purpose is self-evident."

There was a slight breeze in the wilderness, blowing Beristina's white hair back, revealing her white forehead and serious little face.

Her tone was very serious, but combined with her childlike face and short stature, it made people laugh for some reason.

"So that's how it is." The lord suddenly realized and his expression became interesting.

Ever since Gaoyabao wiped out all the tribes within a radius of fifty miles, the natives of the wilderness have not been seen in the past half month.

He thought that he had shown off Gaoyabao's strength, causing these natives to not dare to provoke him easily, but he didn't expect that they were waiting here to give him a big fight.

"You know, the natives of the wilderness have always rejected outsiders, especially the nobles of Debe, because once outsiders gain a foothold in the wilderness, they will invade their living space."

"When facing foreign enemies, these indigenous people will have unprecedentedly consistent goals, so this coalition army is likely to be successfully formed."

"Then you guys...?" Levi looked down at Beristina. It was impossible for her to come to him just to give him this message, right?

The friendship between the two sides has not yet reached this level.

"We are rootless people who have lost our homeland. Hundreds of years have made us become lonely ghosts in the Kaas Mountains. We don't want to continue to sink into depravity and let our descendants become wilderness natives without civilization and calendar. The remnants of Feder hope to join High Cliff Castle and fight for your glory from now on."

After Beristina finished speaking, the nineteen survivors of Fed took a step back and touched their chests.

This result was beyond Levi's expectations, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

He had really wanted to accept these remnants of Feder to increase the population of Gaoya Castle and allow Gaoya Castle to have the ability to actually control the territory.

But when others offered to give him something, he couldn't help but wonder if there was something fishy going on.

It made him feel like it came too easily and he didn't want to cherish it.

However, the system's reminder to join the team proved that this group of Feder's survivors really wanted to join Gaoya Castle sincerely, and were not traitors with ulterior motives.

You have to know that the system's standard for accepting members into the team is not just verbal loyalty. You must sincerely want to join Levi in ​​order to receive a notification to join the team. Loyalty with ulterior motives will definitely not be accepted.

If someone develops a rebellious heart in the future, the system will automatically kick the person out of the team and deprive him of the power bestowed upon him.

This is a hidden little function of the system. It can be foreseen that in the future, Gaoya Castle will definitely be a place where there is no need to worry about spies and rebellion.

As for whether Levi’s power will be taken back by the system?
In fact, this system has been bound to his soul and has become another part of him.

Without him, the system would cease to exist.

It took only a few seconds for Levi's thoughts to turn to reality. He nodded and said, "Gaoya Castle welcomes you to join us."

The only trouble in accepting this group of Fede survivors is that their predecessors were the Fede royal family, and they are naturally in opposition to the current royal family of the Kingdom of Debe.

But Levi didn't care about this. The wilderness was too far away from the Derby Royal Court. In this disorderly and chaotic land, it was difficult for the Derby Kingdom to reach here.

The emperor is above all else and this is far from just talk.

What's more, with the war between the North and the South imminent, they obviously don't have the extra energy to focus on the wilderness.

By the time they noticed this place, I would probably have become the overlord of the area and would not need to pay any attention to them.

Beristina breathed a sigh of relief. It was because they, as the remnants of Fede, were at odds with the current royal family of Debe that she had been so humble, even begging.

Because they didn't have many options left. The knight in front of her with a chivalrous spirit was obviously the best choice. If she was rejected, she could only try to contact other pioneering lords.

But the other lords all have the common problems of nobles, such as lustfulness, arrogance, etc.

Levi led this group of Feder's remnants up the hill, and the enemies suddenly became companions. The orc barbarians were very enthusiastic about this and greeted them one by one in a familiar manner.

Although this group of orc barbarians are extremely disdainful of goblins and ogres, they will not go against Levi if he accepts them as his partners.

What's more, this group of people are human beings just like their leader.

The remnants of Fed could only respond awkwardly. Compared to the thick-skinned orcs, they were not able to accept it so quickly.

They just looked at everything in Gaoya Castle out of curiosity, and after looking around, their expressions became puzzled.

The entire hill platform was planned into four parts. The land near the north was the residence of a tribe of gnolls. The gnolls were holding their cubs and looking at them curiously.

In the center, there are two wooden houses next to each other, surrounded by a wall. This is obviously the core area of ​​Gaoya Castle.

Isn't it called Gaoya Castle?

A fort with scattered wooden houses on a hill?

"You've come all this way and eaten something first, and then we'll talk about what's next."

Levi was the first to walk into the simple hall and sat on the main seat.

This is an extremely spacious wooden house with a long table in the middle that is large enough for thirty or forty people to sit around.

There are no other decorations.

Hearing that there was food to eat again, Zat followed in with a pretentious manner, pulled out a chair and sat down, and Muto followed closely behind.

Beristina sat in the first seat on Levi's right, and the other survivors of Fed took their seats one after another.

……

"It's just a simple meal, I hope it suits your taste." Levi scraped a layer of honey from the jar with a spoon and spread it on the bear's paw, then he put the meat between the bread and took a big bite.

The honey was something that Hogg had specially taken out for him while he was on patrol. Fortunately, the honey has a thick skin, otherwise it would have been covered with lumps.

The bear paw was from a grizzly bear that the barbarians hunted a few days ago.

Although he had already eaten breakfast, Levi still couldn't resist the honey bear paw.

If it had happened in his previous life, he would have had to sing tears in prison for at least ten years after taking this bite.

But now, even if he eats bears, tigers, or leopards, no one dares to interfere with him.

Compared to Levi's rough way of eating, Beristina was much more elegant. She cut off a small piece with a knife and fork and ate it in small bites.

Levi even suspected that her cherry mouth couldn't even fit a strawberry.

The elegant meal of the Fed survivors and Zat formed a sharp contrast with Muto. The two of them grabbed a roasted deer leg and took big bites of it, with their mouths and hands full of oil.

Levi looked at Beristina and asked, "You still call yourselves a kingdom?"
