Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 74 Who the hell spread the news that I’m dead?
"Who the hell told you that I, Sir, have passed away?"

This was the first sentence that Levi said when he was dug out from the pile of corpses.

He didn't expect that while his people were still safe, someone spread false information in an attempt to usurp the throne and inherit his Gaoya Castle.

Damn, there are bad people among the crowd!

The lord was holding his chest and was very angry.

"Boss..."

Zat touched his bald head and smiled foolishly.

You can tell at a glance that this is the news spread by this idiot.

"Look at you, big and strong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Good fellow, you are not absolutely loyal, or you are absolutely not loyal, right?"

After the hand holding Zat was pulled out, Levi took off his helmet and threw it on the ground. The already deformed helmet rolled a few times on the ground. He wiped off the blood flowing down his hair and spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm with blood.

After the inhumane fighting, he looked like a man who had just returned from a swim in a sea of ​​blood, and no longer resembled a human being.

If it appeared on the street late at night, it would definitely scare people into thinking they had seen a ghost.

Looking around, there were all kinds of corpses everywhere, filling the entire valley floor. It was no exaggeration to say that corpses were everywhere. A rough estimate was that this group of wilderness people had lost at least 30% to 40% of their manpower before they could no longer handle the casualties and completely collapsed.

"Damn it! If anyone dares to say that these bandits in the wilderness are a makeshift group, I will be the first to get angry with him!"

The lord cursed. This kind of casualties was greater than the army that had just collapsed. No matter which kingdom it was in, it would be considered the elite among the elite.

If the real makeshift team had half of this bravery and spirit of sacrifice, every one of them would be enough. Those pioneering lords should stop pioneering and prepare to be hanged.

"Are you OK?"

When Beristina rushed over and saw Levi, an indescribable joy surged in her heart, which eventually turned into words of worry.

As the lord walked, pieces of flesh and blood fell to the ground through the gaps in the armor, forming a distinct red carpet.

"It's okay." Levi responded as he took off the armor layer by layer from his body.

When he was left with only his linen shirt, he couldn't help stretching himself to stretch his muscles.

All the blood and flesh on his body were gifts from his enemies. Even the attack from the giant monster, which was the only thing that caused him to suffer a loss, only looked intimidating and actually did no harm to him.

The barbarians around were so convinced that they were exhausted after a great battle. They felt limp and couldn't muster any strength. The humans were lying on the ground and couldn't get up for the time being.

As a result, his boss was fine as usual. His physique was even more terrifying than that of a dragon.

In fact, after lying in the pile of corpses for a while, Levi's strength was almost recovered.

The lord took the opportunity to open the system team panel and took a look. Except for the four orc barbarians who were recuperating in Gaoya Castle, none of the barbarians brought were dead, but everyone was injured.

This was within his expectations. Although the Wilderness Coalition seemed to have a large number of troops, their equipment was poor. Moreover, the barbarians were no longer the same as before. The weakest of them was a fourth-tier soldier, and they were wearing two layers of armor all over their bodies.

After they dealt with the only giant monster that could pose a threat to them, the other bandits who only had rusty iron knives had problems even breaking the armor of the barbarians, so it was naturally difficult for them to kill the orcs.

This has nothing to do with martial arts or bravery, it's purely about equipment.

It can be said that iron armor ensures the barbarians' lower limit, while their own bravery brings out the maximum use of the iron armor.

Li Wei sighed after taking a look at the casualties of Feder's soldiers. Not counting those who stayed behind in Gaoyabao, there were more than 400 young and strong men in Feder, and almost all of them participated in the battle.

As a result, there are only more than 200 people left, a loss of nearly 40% of the manpower, which can be said to be a heavy death toll.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that he was protecting his own tribe and his previous morale-boosting measures, they would have been defeated long ago.

The reason for their heavy casualties was simply that the barbarians' bravery made the wild people subconsciously attack this group of weaker enemies, so the pressure on the barbarians was less than expected.

It is terrifying that the orcs suffered no casualties in this war, but this is not something to be proud of. There are almost no tactics worth praising in this war.

It all depends on the equipment being superior and the side that is less afraid of death and is the first to be unable to bear casualties.

……

For system soldiers, victory in a war, in addition to various rewards, is itself the most abundant harvest.

Levi didn't know how many of the dead enemies were killed by himself, but he thought it should be no less than a few hundred.

Adding the number of people killed by the warriors, the accumulated experience is unimaginable.

At this point, all thirty or so fourth-level orc warriors have been promoted to fifth-level Great Axe Guards, and the military strength of High Cliff Castle has been raised to another level.

What surprised Levi a little was that with such a huge amount of experience, not a single fifth-tier troop could be upgraded. It seemed that the experience required to advance to a sixth-tier troop was enormous, and the experience from a single war was not enough for an upgrade.

But it's normal to think about it. Putting aside the blocked seventh-level troops, the sixth-level is already the top-level troops, and it will definitely not reach the upgrade standards easily.

The Fede warriors who had long been included in the system team also reached the upgrade standards. All the first-level Fede civilians were upgraded to second-level Fede militiamen, and the second-level soldiers were upgraded to third-level Fede warriors.

As for those who advanced from level three to level four, not a single one did.

After all, the third-level soldiers are already considered regular soldiers, so this situation is normal.

Levi, who had already let the barbarians publicize the "Gift from the God of War", naturally couldn't wait to click on the upgrade for all of them.

The gold required for upgrading is not much, and the remaining money in the system is more than enough.

If he doesn't upgrade every second, he will be exposed.

So now all the orc warriors of the Burning Legion are of the fifth order, while 60% of the Fed warriors here are of the second order, and the rest are all of the third order.

When you are fighting hard, the adrenaline is surging and you won’t feel too tired, but once you relax and get tired, the deficit will come as expected.

Fortunately, when system soldiers are upgraded, they will recover some physical strength. Although it will not allow them to continue to be vigorous, it can at least allow them to maintain just enough physical strength to move.

After the battle, the barbarians took a short rest and then walked around the battlefield one by one to search for the wild people who were not completely dead, and gave them the final blow one by one.

Even if Levi was short of people, he would not feed these injured enemies. Ending their remaining suffering one by one would be the greatest gift to them.

As these enemy wounded were dealt with, mournful cries began to be heard over the Fed tribe.

Some of these Fed warriors who died in the battle had wives and children, while others were still very young and only had parents, brothers and sisters.

These family members were all looking for their children. When they did not see any familiar figures among the standing people, sadness inevitably welled up in their hearts.

This is inevitable in war, and all Levi can do is try to treat the soldiers' families as well as possible.
