Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 260 Fools are blessed

"Levi, what happened in White Castle?"

Onaya asked as she ran on the road.

Until now she was still confused. The duel was supposed to be a decision, but the White Castle inexplicably became a mess. She also didn't understand what was going on with the group of mercenaries. If they really came to help her, why didn't this knight recognize them and just killed them directly?

"I'm not sure either. We captured a mercenary and interrogated him. He said he was planning to surrender to our Duke. But if he really wanted to surrender, why didn't he contact us earlier?"

Levi told the truth.

He had never had a good impression of this group of mercenaries who were suddenly trying to steal the credit from him, Li.

I was originally thinking about how to kill the other party reasonably, but I didn't expect that the little bastard who was obviously the leader would actually take the initiative to attack.

It saved him a lot of effort.

"No matter what, at least my sister can take over the White Castle now without a duel." Onaya said breathlessly.

The knight's appearance here proves that the White Castle must have been largely controlled by Florina. All that is left is to eliminate the last of these resistance forces to completely control Colen.

It's no wonder that Levi doesn't like these mercenaries. It's undeniable that they do have the idea of ​​defecting to the North, but this doesn't stop them from taking advantage of the chaos to do something. Occasionally, along the way, you can see some mercenaries stuffed with precious jewelry or money.

When they saw these two handsome men and beautiful women who looked like important people, they spontaneously organized a team and chased after them.

"Madam Onaya, let's reunite with your sister as soon as possible." After kicking to death a few blind bastards who were blocking their way, Levi saw that it was really hard for Onaya to follow him. She was out of breath after a while, so he bent down and hugged her in his arms.

Onaya was a typical noblewoman with a delicate body. Her physical fitness was not very good to begin with, and with the weight in front of her, she became exhausted after running only a few steps.

Onaya took the initiative to hug the Lord's neck with her arms as white as lotus roots, without any shyness. She agreed with the Lord's opinion: "There are more and more pursuers behind us. We must get out quickly. It will be troublesome if we are blocked in the corridor."

In a wisp of faint fragrance, Levi did not rush out directly, but slowly slipped away from the mercenaries chasing him, which made Onaya very worried.

After running outside with great difficulty, a shadow loomed over her, and Onaya's heart, which had just been at ease, became heavy again.

An extremely huge centaur was watching them in the garden. Its arms alone were thicker than her waist. There were corpses everywhere, obviously freshly killed.

"Gus takes care of these punks."

It’s not that Levi is afraid of the group of mercenaries behind him, but having a powerless woman with him will completely affect his performance.

In fact, the most important thing is to give Mrs. Onaya the feeling that she is very worried about her and directly bring her to the little girl Leah.

Then Onaya narrated how he had bravely rescued her from a group of vicious mercenaries.

Wouldn't Leah be filled with gratitude to him, the loyal lord of Highcliff Castle?

Apart from anything else, isn’t the position of Marquis secure?

The mercenaries who were eager to chase outside were surprised to see a huge horse staring at them with a sneer as soon as they came out. The huge shadow enveloped them all.

Gudong!

Along with the sound of swallowing saliva, an arrow flashing with thunder element grew bigger and bigger in their eyes.

boom!
As the arrows pierced through, the powerful thunder element knocked over the mercenaries and roasted them, emitting a meaty aroma.

Gus's full-strength attack, filled with thunder elements, directly killed the mercenaries who were chasing him.

Without even a glance, it continued to follow its lord, acting as a loyal guard.

With such a giant beast guarding him, who looked tough as nails, by his side, there would be no more blind mercenaries or southern soldiers causing trouble.

Seeing that the mercenaries who were pursuing her had been dealt with, Onaya wanted to say that she could walk down by herself, but seeing that Levi had no intention of letting her go, she chose to remain silent and looked at the knight carefully.

The early morning light just happened to shine on the knight, giving him a layer of gold, making him look majestic and tall.

Levi was also in great pain. He was afraid that even those great monks who were not interested in women would have to stand up to show respect when faced with the dazzling whiteness in his arms.

Fortunately, Mr. Li has experienced so many temptations to this day that the spirit of lust has little impact on him, a good young man in the kingdom.

I just secretly thought in my heart that I would marry Tina first when I returned to Gaoya Castle, and take care of the rest later.

Li Wei is not Liuxia Hui, who can remain calm in the face of temptation. He just knows the priorities.

Don’t you see that Boss Cao killed the three sages with one shot right before your eyes?

He didn't want to be recorded in history for this reason, and have such a legend left behind in the biographies written by scholars.

"Huh, we're almost there." After turning a corner, they could see the walls of White Castle were full of Northern flags, which meant that Florina and the others had already taken over the walls.

He was accompanied by teams of soldiers from the southern border who went to quell the rebellion and completely took control of White Castle.

"It's the Lord who has returned."

Levi heard Panda's voice and then put Onaya on the ground: "Mrs. Onaya, we are here."

In the distance, all the nobles looked over here at once.

Onaya saw the northern nobles in front of her at a glance. She knew all of them, and the two leading them were her beloved sister and daughter.

At this moment, she could no longer hide her excitement. She didn't even tidy up her messy hair and went straight to meet him.

The reminiscing among relatives was too corny, so the other nobles left tactfully and Levi did not join in.

Because of the sudden rebellion of the mercenaries, the entire White Castle was in chaos. The Northern Army quickly arrived. The Penta warriors dealt with the Southern Soldiers guarding the city and opened the city gate from the inside. The army quickly went to various locations in White Castle to quell the rebellion.

"Did Old Ann find Penny and Little Duke?"

Levi saw Count Andao in the crowd and took the initiative to put his arm around his shoulders.

Personally rescuing Leah's mother and sister Florina, this achievement could probably only be matched by capturing Penny and her son alive. Naturally, the lord was in a good mood.

Andao looked at the lion hunting knight with a very complicated expression.

The entire North seemed to have become a foil to the enemy as it moved southward. It was he who broke through the small town of Kalia, it was he who captured alive Cross, the famous general who caused great harm to the North, and it was he who took the lead in taking down the walls of Cologne and saving the Duke's sister Florina!
On the other hand, Tess was beaten back from the town of Kalia in a terrible state, and suffered a great loss in the attack on Blackrock Castle. He lost nearly half of his ice and snow warlock spellcasting team and also lost two earls.

If the other party had not beaten him to death and refused to completely join the Holy Light Church, he would have almost thought that the Lord of High Cliff Castle was the biological son of the Goddess of Holy Light.

Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why the other party has such good luck despite his great talent in Holy Light and strong strength.

"I searched for a long time, but because there were too few people and too many mercenaries, the situation was extremely chaotic, so I had to come back." An Dao said somewhat depressed.

He only brought a dozen personal knights with him. It was fine on the outskirts, but once he went deep into the territory, he would be surrounded by mercenaries and white-robed guards.

When an outsider like him joined the battle, he would be beaten by both sides, so he retreated. Levi nodded in agreement. Not everyone has his strength. He had dealt with at least hundreds of mercenaries and white robe guards along the way.

However, when Levi looked around, he didn't see Zat and Mir, but he was not very worried about it.

As the oldest person who followed him the earliest, Zat’s strength has greatly improved. If he really encounters difficulties and wants to escape, no one can stop him. Especially in a narrow corridor, he can show his personal bravery.

Mir also often followed him to learn swordsmanship. Thanks to his natural physique and the blessing of the system, if Montvit did not use his fighting spirit, he would not be Mir's opponent.

Once he finds a suitable Dou Qi secret book for him to practice, his strength will definitely improve significantly.

After entering the inner castle, the Northern soldiers began a comprehensive investigation, including Colen, and arrested all the mercenaries and Southern soldiers. Some loyal White Robe Guards were sent directly to meet the Undead.

Only when no more enemies could be found did they finally announce that Cologne was completely under their control.

Flags of the North were hoisted on the walls of Cologne and the Inner Castle. In full view of everyone, Florina took down the emblem of the South hanging in the White Castle Parliament Hall and replaced it with the "Eagle Holding Sword" of the North.

Onaya and Leah just watched it all in silence, so the lord just kept out of it.

However, although the North successfully captured Cologne and achieved its ultimate strategic goal, everyone still had a concern in their hearts.

That is, Penny and the little duke were not found. Yes, they were not found in the literal sense, including the bodies.

Everyone speculated that the other party was definitely not dead, but had hidden somewhere.

Therefore, Cologne is still under martial law, and soldiers are checking house by house, but they have also been banned from harassing civilians.

It’s just unclear how much they can comply with.

But these have nothing to do with my lord.

First of all, his goal was to support Leah to inherit the throne of Duke and then gain benefits from it.

Whether Penny escapes or not, it is now an established fact that Leah will become the Duke.

The ones who should be anxious are Florina and the others.

Besides, the whole of Cologne is under martial law, and the other party has no way to escape. It is only a matter of time before they are found.

When everything was done, the sun set below the horizon, faded its light, and illuminated the sky red.

In the city of Cologne, each army also divided up their own camps and began to make fires and cook.

Because Florina issued a ban, there was no rape of women, but the livestock suffered.

They were driven to the open ground and slaughtered en masse by the soldiers with spears.

Now that the war is finally over, officers of all ranks are preparing to celebrate and to comfort themselves for their hard work over the past few months.

Gaoya Castle was no exception, with wisps of smoke rising from the camp.

The lord, who had been busy in the White Castle for a whole day, took off his leather armor and coat with the help of Heather, the drow elf, and was preparing to have a good rest.

Unexpectedly, Zat found him stealthily and took him to a room.

The room was full of unused furniture that had not been cleaned for a long time. The only difference was that there was a blonde woman slumped on the ground in the middle, holding something with her head down and her hair disheveled, and she exuded a fishy smell.

"What the hell are you doing bringing women into the camp?!"

The Lord wanted to beat someone up now, and wondered if his recent anger was so obvious. He was ready to reject him righteously and scold him.

"Hush! Boss, keep your voice down! How can I find a wife if my reputation is ruined by you?" Zat, who was still a virgin, motioned Levi to keep quiet first, and then said hurriedly with some grievance: "This woman said her son is the Duke of the South, so I brought her back!"

"?"

After an explanation and seeing the woman's appearance with his own eyes.

Levi looked at the orcs in front of him with expressions that were hard to describe. Some tried every possible means but ended up returning empty-handed, while others put the entire city under martial law but still couldn't find a single hair of the orcs.

Some people just peed and they are claiming such great credit.

No wonder so many people couldn't find these two people. Who would dare to risk the Lion Hunting Knight, who is in the limelight, to search the other party's camp?

Although the fools are a little bit stupid, when they are lucky, they can always get something good to eat.

I'm talking about Zat.

No wonder the other party was wandering in Derby, not caught and cut up, but used as a tonic by some nobles with special hobbies, but instead had no worries about food and drink in Cologne.

I have to admit that "fools have good fortune" is not an adjective.

"Mrs. Petunia, do you still recognize me?"

Looking at the blonde woman slumped on the ground, Levi asked a question. The other party was holding her frightened son. She looked up without any big reaction, and her eyes were empty.

After experiencing great ups and downs and being knocked down from a great height to earth, most people cannot bear it and for a while cannot accept the reality and choose to become autistic.

My Lord can understand this. After all, when he was a mercenary, he always encountered villages looted by bandits, and most of those who survived by chance were like this.

He didn't waste any more words and told the goatman maid to boil some hot water to wash the man clean and change him into clean clothes.

The lord, who had just returned to the camp and had not even warmed his seat yet, had to take two orc guards with him to send the enemy into the White Castle.

As for how to deal with the other party, that was not something Levi considered.

But she will not be hanged directly. After all, she is the old duke's biological daughter. Damon is not dead and is still in the Fortress of Bones.

It is most likely used as a bargaining chip for negotiation.

Naturally, the Northern nobles were jealous. After all, so many achievements were all taken by one person. Even a person with great skills in cultivating qi would inevitably feel unbalanced.

Montvert told him quietly that he was now too popular and almost all the credit was taken by him alone, just like the bird that pops out first will be shot.

You will definitely be hostile to these nobles.

Especially now that Leia only has these two nobles under her command, their power is obviously weaker than those northern nobles.

The lord just sneered and said with disdain that it was the bird that stuck out that got shot, what if it was a dragon?

Besides, Leah and Onaya are not fools and they will definitely take measures to stop this.
