Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 270 The First Battle
Hundreds of wooden houses are lined up on the vast land of the plateau, and the houses are surrounded by blooming tulips. Unfortunately, the rare sea of ​​flowers has now been trampled to pieces.

Yada is an ordinary small village. As it is close to Cologne where tulips are grown and sold, the farmers in the village live a pretty good life. At least they have enough food and clothing. There are more than a thousand villagers, and there is also a militia of more than a dozen people to prevent thieves or thieves.

But now these militiamen all had their hands and feet tied, and were squatting in the open space of the village like lambs.

There were also piles of bonfires nearby, with iron pots that were searched from farmers' homes placed on top, boiling water. Hundreds of ugly dwarfs with dark red skin, a pair of horns and only one-fourth of their length were excitedly circling around the bonfires, mumbling something in an inaudible language.

A group of farmers tied up on the ground nearby looked desperate.

After all, no one would be in a good mood as they were about to become food for these monsters.

Just before dawn, monsters came from nowhere and attacked them while they were still asleep. Faced with the powerful enemy, these unarmed farmers could only resist for a while before they were all captured. Now they could only pray in their hearts for the blessing of the Mother Earth.

"Blue, let's eat the small human first, the meat is tender!"

Among them, the little demon with a broken horn was staring at a little blonde girl in the crowd with drooling eyes, and his scarlet tail was waving excitedly behind him.

As a little devil at the bottom of the abyss, it had always heard from its predecessors how tender human meat was. This was the first time it had the chance to eat a human.

Their original purpose was to trick the humans into opening the city wall, but they didn't expect that the humans were very smart. Faced with the insurmountable wall, they could only choose to attack the villages that were not protected by the wall.

"No, that female human, you can't eat her until I use her first!"

The other little devil was more muscular, with a thin scarlet cylindrical object hanging from his crotch. He was staring greedily at the freckled blonde girl in the crowd.

Then he walked naked towards the girl in the crowd, not hiding his dirty thoughts at all.

It has had enough of those female fire lizards in the abyss. Not only are they hot but they also hurt. And those succubus bitches are all fawning over the demon lords and won't let anyone touch them!

It has lived in the abyss for nearly a hundred years, and never expected to have the opportunity to come to the recorded material world.

It wants to experience the taste of a human girl.

As the first little devil in hundreds of years to taste the human female again, it must also be recorded in the history of the abyss for the little devils that come after it to admire.

If it could return to the abyss this time, it would definitely write a travelogue so that future generations would remember this moment, and it would be called "Travelogue of Blue's Palace".

Although it has never been to the human palace, writing like this will definitely attract the attention of many little demons, and thus sing the story of its promotion to the Lord of the Abyss starting today.

"You disgusting, ugly demons, go back to where you are!"

Although I couldn't understand what these monsters were saying, their intentions were obvious.

The strong militia captain roared angrily and moved his bound body to stand in front of the blonde girl.

"You're so noisy, I'll chop you up and cook you into soup first!"

Blue, whose fantasy of a beautiful life was interrupted, became angry and kicked the tall human in front of him in the chest.

Unexpectedly, the human in front of it hit it with the chest, and it was knocked to the ground and fell into the mud.

"Hahaha, you ugly dwarf monster, go back and dig shit!"

Roth mocked unscrupulously.

"Mother Goddess of the Earth, please send down the knights of justice to rescue Uncle Roth and poor people like us..." The little blonde girl was so frightened that her face turned pale. She clasped her hands in front of her chest and prayed tremblingly.

Obviously, the weak girl had not had her hands and feet tied.

She often listened to Uncle Lot telling stories about those brave knights. Whenever disaster struck, these handsome knights in silver armor would ride on their majestic white horses to rescue those in distress.

At this moment, she hoped very much that this knight would appear before her.

Unfortunately, this is reality after all. No knight appeared. The hideous grins of the monsters still lingered in my ears, and the curses and pleas for mercy of my uncles and aunts were so clear.

I will be treated like a broken pillow and then...wait...

"Oh my goodness! What is that!"

Uncle Roth's exclamation suddenly rang out.

The little girl opened her eyes hastily and saw a knight riding an ugly three-headed monster emerging from the woods in the distance.

He was wearing heavy armor, and his whole body was wrapped tightly, just like the metal devil in grandma's stories who liked to kill living things. The most chilling thing was that the other party held a giant sword in his hand that was far larger than his body size.

Nina felt that the weight of the huge sword alone could crush her into a pie. The other party was obviously not the handsome knight she had imagined.

These little devils obviously noticed this uninvited guest and were frightened by his noise. However, when they found out that there was only one person, they surrounded him with dung forks and hoes.

But they soon paid a heavy price for their rash behavior. With a slight wave of the giant sword, they were like water drops falling on the ground, and were instantly scattered.

The man who came was Levi. As a knight, he did not like to use a lance, because this weapon mainly relied on the impact of the mount to cause damage, but with his inhuman strength.

The lance actually limited his performance, and it was not as refreshing as slashing and chopping wildly with a giant sword.

With the blessing of abundant tremendous force, the explosion sound produced by each swing of the giant sword filled the sky above the entire village. The little demon that was hit didn't even have time to scream before its whole body exploded like a watermelon.

The internal organs, bones, and blood were all mixed into a pile of splattered meat.

This cruel scene made many villagers in Yada turn pale, but they also knew that the person who came was their savior, and the nausea in their hearts was soon overwhelmed by the excitement of surviving the disaster.

Hundreds of little demons were quickly killed by one man and cried bitterly. These bullies who only bullied the weak and feared the strong also knew that they had provoked an evil star, so they dropped their weapons and ran in all directions.

They didn't know where was safe, but as long as they could stay away from the monster that suddenly appeared, it would be fine.

However, they had not run far when a group of werewolf scouts rushed out of the woods with scimitars in hand.

Unfortunately, the arrows arrived faster than them.

The soldiers and horses launched a collective charge in the rear, but their hands did not stop at all. Their arms, as thick as marble sculptures, easily pulled the bowstrings and shot arrows one by one.

Their rhythm was so steady that it felt like a rapid-fire barrage of arrows. Their accuracy was also frighteningly high during the charge, and every sound of the bowstring would cause a sharp scream.

These demons never imagined that they had only attacked a village but would actually attract a group of killers.

These fleeing little demons had no power to fight back and were quickly killed.

Levi noticed that most of the demons were scared away by his domineering aura, but there was actually one little demon standing in front of the captured villagers and looking directly at him.

"I thought they were all a bunch of cowards, but I didn't expect there was a tough guy." Levi sneered. Without too much instruction, Beifeng understood what he meant and jumped directly. His agile body crossed over a dozen blades and fell from the sky.

With one paw, it knocked the demon to the ground, and then the three wolf heads started to bite it. Finally, the head in the middle proudly chewed up the little demon and swallowed it, then looked at the lord with its tongue sticking out as if asking for credit.

"Stupid dog, you eat everything." Levi cursed in disgust, but still touched the three wolf heads, causing them to wag their tails excitedly.

The free people in front of him looked at the black-armored warrior covered in blood with fear.

Levi also knew that his appearance was indeed quite visually impactful. Although the wanton hacking and killing was fun, it also left him covered in flesh and blood.

He took off his helmet, revealing an overly young and handsome face.

"You must be the knight sent by the Mother Earth to save us." Nina was stunned when she looked at that face. The fear in her heart disappeared instantly and she asked excitedly.

"You were so brave just now, just like the hero in the story. All the words of praise are not enough to describe your greatness."

"No, I was sent by the Goddess of Holy Light." The lord looked at the little blonde girl in front of him who was only about ten years old, and was so flattered that he couldn't close his mouth.

After all, children don't lie, so they must have been talking about Mr. Li's good qualities.

Levi flipped over and jumped off the wolf's back, "What's your name?"

"Sir, my name is Nina." The little blonde girl's eyes were filled with the majestic figure of someone, so much so that she forgot the hellish scene around her.

"Very good, Nina, can you tell me when these demons attacked you and how many there were?"

Levi smiled what he thought was the most handsome and kindly smile, took off his gloves, bent down slightly and stroked the other person's head.

The militia captain Roth standing by was watching closely, it was obviously better to ask him these things instead of asking a child.

But he didn't dare to disturb this adult.

The other party is most likely a noble from Cologne, who came to support them after learning that demons were attacking the village.

I felt relieved that the other party arrived in time and prevented the tragedy from happening. I was filled with gratitude.

All the little demons were dealt with, leaving only one or two for questioning.

The jackals untied several of the tied villagers and asked them to untie the others themselves.

"Sir, this group of demons attacked us just before dawn. Many people died in the resistance and we suffered heavy losses." The untied Roth looked at the broken limbs and arms rolling in the soup pot with red eyes. "Thank you very much for your selfless help. This is the money we raised to thank you for your efforts. Please don't refuse it. This is the only way to thank a group of poor people."

"Alas, my condolences. These demons not only attacked you, but also attacked Cologne at night. If the officers defending the city had not been smart and cautious, it would have led to a tragedy." Levi patted the other's shoulder and calmly stuffed the purse into his waist.

In fact, he wanted to decline the offer three times, but he was afraid that the other party would take it seriously, so he had no choice but to accept it with a thick face.

He is really poor now. He has to support a large family in Gaoya Castle by himself. He finally got 3,000 military funding from Leah.

Now he doesn't want to let go of even a single penny.

"Ah." Roth was a little stunned. He didn't expect that this group of demons would attack Cologne. His son was still working as a tailor apprentice in Cologne.

He said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, the city guard officer was cautious. I guess he must be a military genius with knowledge as profound as the ocean. In the eyes of this lord, these demonic schemes are as ridiculous as goblins showing off their looks."

"Yes, yes." The lord nodded repeatedly.

"Lord Levi, who is that officer?" Nina asked curiously.

"It's me." The lord grinned, revealing two neat rows of white teeth.

This sentence choked everyone present in silence for a long time, and they didn't know how to start again. It was the little girl Nina's voice of praise that broke the silence first.

……

Not long after, Fujiro also came over with his men.

There were only a few hundred little demons. There was no need for them to attack together. Even the newly promoted marquis could handle it alone. So while Levi was dealing with the demons in the village, he sent people to investigate the situation ahead.

"Sir, I found the main force of the demons on a leeward slope ahead. There are about seven or eight thousand of them."

Fujiro dismounted and took off his white gloves. He was wearing an exquisite officer's uniform.

Although his fighting spirit was quite high, as a commander, there were very few situations where he was required to take part in battles.

"Seven or eight thousand? At least two to three thousand people were killed by us when we were caught stealing the city last night. This number is about the same as what I calculated."

Levi thought.

"Have you found out which demons are the main combat force of the other party?"

"According to the scouts, 50% of the demons are little demons, and the rest are Babu demons." Fujiro looked at the lord who was holding a little girl, with garlands and even two strings of garlic hanging around his neck. His eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help asking, "My Lord, what are you doing?"

If he didn't know the other person's character, Fujiro would almost think that the Lord of High Cliff Castle had robbed the small village and kidnapped a little girl to serve as a maid.

"Hey, it's nothing. It's just a reward from the villagers to thank someone for their help. I wanted to refuse it." The lord sighed, stuffed all the candy beans into Nina's mouth, put it back on the ground, and continued to explain: "But everyone is too enthusiastic, it's really hard to refuse."

"It seems like that. Later, after we all requested repeatedly, the adults reluctantly agreed." Nina, her mouth full of candy beans, took the initiative to speak in an unclear tone.
