Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords

The sun, which had been obscured by dark clouds, finally pierced through the cloud cover as it set, turning the horizon into a harmless egg yolk.

The army of the Thorns Legion also returned to the camp, starting fires to cook, and wisps of smoke rose.

Li Wei went to inspect the twenty or so wounded Highcliff Castle warriors. Their tents were the largest size, and three tents were used to house these wounded soldiers.

Because the tents needed ventilation, the cold wind naturally swept in, in order to maintain warmth.

There were four or five braziers in these tents emitting heat, and several goat-men auxiliary soldiers diligently guarded the side, adding firewood.

Under Sam's healing spells, coupled with Li Wei's maxed-out "Healing" skill, the condition of these wounded soldiers visibly improved, and it wouldn't be long before they were jumping around, becoming good men again.

It must be said that it is much more convenient to have a spellcaster who knows healing spells in the team.

If it were a military doctor, they wouldn't have the ability to make a patient's complexion visibly improve with a single healing spell.

Moreover, this healing spell is completely unreasonable. Whether you have a fracture or your flesh is scraped open, as long as you are injured, it can be cured.

However, diseases require special divine magic to remove, and healing spells cannot cure diseases.

But even so, for the warriors, healing spells are definitely the most practical spells.

If someone else knew healing spells, Li Wei would definitely hold them in his hands, afraid of bumping into them.

The key is that the one who controls the healing spell is Sam, the turncoat. He is the only one who has repeatedly jumped ship after joining the team.

He clearly agreed to join the team today, but he would leave the team early the next morning, making the lord both angry and amused. Later, he simply couldn't be bothered to agree to him joining the team, because he would leave again in a few days anyway.

Glancing at Sam, who was diligently treating the wounded, Li Wei turned and left.

After fighting for a day, he was starving.

For an army marching long distances, being able to eat a bite of meat is a kind of comfort.

Coincidentally, because of the winter, the meat is also well preserved and will not spoil for more than ten days. Li Wei specially slaughtered a cart of prepared mutton and pulled it from Highcliff Castle.

Now is the time to reward the warriors of Highcliff Castle.

Inside the camp tent, a pot was set up in the middle, with potatoes and various vegetables boiling inside. The soup was frighteningly red, only because a pile of chili peppers was floating on top.

Thanks to the effect of 'what the superiors do, the subordinates follow', Zha Te andMir also gradually became fond of eating spicy food, and ate even more heavily than the lord.

This pot was obviously made by these two idiots.

"Brother-in-law, come and eat quickly, we're having mutton hot pot today."

Mir was wearing an apron, holding a boning knife, and slicing the mutton into thin slices.

Zha Te was sitting in front of the pot, constantly stirring it with a spoon.

"What are you stirring? You're ruining the soup base." Li Wei gave him a neck chop, then squeezed Zha Te to the side and sat down on the long bench like a boss.

He took a spoonful of the soup and gave his evaluation: "It's okay, your cooking skills have finally improved. It's not in vain that I carefully cultivated you."

"Boss, eat meat first."

Zha Te diligently handed over the bowls and chopsticks.

Just as Li Wei took it, he directly took out a wooden basin the size of a washbasin from behind his butt, and with one chopstick, he picked up at least half a catty of meat and stuffed it all into his mouth, swallowing it in two bites.

Li Wei didn't say much. Today, this憨货's(憨货: silly/foolish person) kill count of Minotaurs was second only to him, at least forty or fifty, so it was only natural to eat more as a reward.

"Brother-in-law, I also killed a Minotaur today."

Mir, who had finished slicing the meat, sat down, bragging as he ate.

"Not bad, you've improved. Study my swordsmanship well, and if I have the chance, I'll find you a profound Dou Qi(斗气: internal energy) secret manual to practice." Li Wei slurped the mutton in his bowl into his mouth, speaking unclearly.

With his current swordsmanship, which can be said to be unmatched,Mir can completely crush those martial arts masters in the arena whose reputation is greater than their strength if he learns two or three tenths of it.

If he cultivates a Dou Qi(斗气: internal energy), he will also have a place in De Bei(德贝: a place name).

However, it was indeed beyond Li Wei's expectations that he could kill a Minotaur with his current strength.

This group of Minotaurs seems like stinky fish and rotten shrimp that can be slaughtered at will, but that is only for him and Zha Te.

Even Si Kai, the knight with profound Dou Qi(斗气: internal energy), would definitely not be able to kill a Minotaur so easily unless he used a big move.

Mir, by all accounts, has only been learning swordsmanship from him for more than a month, and it is indeed commendable to reach this level.

"This kid took advantage of the fact that I was dealing with a Minotaur and stabbed it in the butt." Zha Te ruthlessly exposed Mir's(米尔: Mir) lie.

"Brother Zha Te, are you saying that this Minotaur was killed by me?" Mir's(米尔: Mir) face turned red, and he shouted, sticking his neck out.

Zha Te did not answer, which was the truth, but it still could not cover up this kid's style of stealing kills.

"I'm convinced, don't say you learned swordsmanship from me when you go out in the future." Li Wei rolled his eyes.

No wonder he could kill a Minotaur, good fellow, the profound swordsmanship he taught him has all become swordsmanship aimed at the lower three paths, right?

Li Wei doesn't want to have the title of a master of low/vulgar swordsmanship in the future, it's too damn embarrassing.

"Lord! Lord!"

At this time, Si Kai's(思凯: Si Kai) shout came from outside, and he rushed into the camp tent in a hurry.

"What's wrong, Lao Si(老思: old Si)?" The lord didn't even raise his head, asking casually.

The last time this guy also ran over in a hurry, looking like something terrible had happened, but in the end it was just to go to a meeting.

From then on, the lord was no longer deceived by this急急国王's(急急国王: anxious king) appearance.

"DuchessFrina is gone."

"What?"

Li Wei suspected that he had misheard.

"I just found out, LordFrina took the cavalry and doesn't know where she went." Si Kai said everything he knew in one breath.

To be honest, his cavalry regiment camp and Highcliff Castle's were together. He was just about to go toFrina to report some work when he found that this lord didn't know where she had gone.

In shock, he subconsciously came to the Highcliff Castle lord who had saved him, trying to get some news.

But now it seems that this lord obviously doesn't know about this either.

"Fojero doesn't know either?"

"I don't know. I can't even enter the meeting camp now. I only knew this news because those officers were hesitant, plus the Thorns Legion cavalry was gone, so I guessed it." Si Kai said his guess.

"What exactly doesFrina want to do? Still playing the disappearing act at this time."

The stubble that had grown out of the lord's face, which he hadn't taken care of for a while, trembled wildly.

Changing generals before a battle has always been a taboo. At this time,Frina, as the backbone, disappears, which may not be anything to the officers, but for those common soldiers, it will definitely reduce morale, and they will start to speculate wildly.

"Damn it!"

The lord cursed angrily, raising the rice bowl in his hand, wanting to make a Cao's Set Meal(曹氏盖饭: dump the food on someone's head), but then he realized that there was no wooden table in front of him, so he fortunately took it back.

"Now that things have come to this, eat first!"

He viciously shoveled the rice in his bowl.

Si Kai secretly breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, since seeing Lord Li's(李: Li) strength and the soldiers under him, he was really afraid that the other party would get angry and leave.

He also joined the meal, as he hadn't eaten today either.

While eating, he thought, and suddenly a flash of lightning crossed his mind, and he seemed to understand something.

Why DuchessFrina wanted to hide her sudden disappearance from him, and her whereabouts were unclear.

Obviously, it was because if he knew, he might leak the secret, and the object of the leak would naturally be the Highcliff Castle lord, this outsider.

One thing that can be determined at present is that DuchessFrina is definitely not returning to Whiteflow City, and is likely going north.

Wanting to hide it, and not being able to give up at this time, only the magic crystal mine can have such an important effect.

But if it is for the magic crystal mine, why not wait until this group of wilderness coalition forces is defeated before going, which is something Si Kai can't figure out.

He once escorted a caravan to transport black stone to the elf tribe, so he also knew about the magic crystal mine.

However, after roughly guessing Frina's(芙琳娜: Frina) whereabouts, Si Kai breathed a sigh of relief, and looked up at the lord without showing any sign.

As a result, the two of them just happened to be on the same page.

Li Wei showed a meaningful smile.

Si Kai quickly lowered his head and ate the mutton in his bowl.

He didn't say these guesses just now. Unless this lord has mind-reading skills, he couldn't possibly know what he was thinking.

Si Kai comforted himself.

The lord touched the stubble that had just grown out on his chin.

Since this knight sat down, he had been observing his face.

Sometimes blank, sometimes suddenly enlightened, everything was written on his face, and the key was that he thought he was hiding it very well.

Mad, this kid is hiding something from him.

This made the lord extremely sad, the two of them have a life-or-death friendship, but he didn't even tell him the whereabouts of a woman. The feelings have faded.

But since he didn't say it, Li Wei didn't plan to ask.

Until Si Kai finished his meal hastily, and hurriedly said goodbye and left, Li Wei looked at his back thoughtfully.

"Boss, why not just arrest him and use torture to force a confession?"

Zha Te gave a bad idea.

"All you know is to rely on brute force. We need to use our brains, understand?"

Li Wei rewarded him with a rap on the head, which made Zha Te grin in pain.

Torture is definitely not okay. Besides, the two of them still have some friendship, and the lord is not a person who turns his back on someone after using them.

But for the time being, he doesn't have any good ideas. After all, if a person is determined to hide something, if you want him to say it, he will hide it very tightly, and if you don't want to know, he will say it unintentionally.

As the sun completely set below the horizon, the whole world began to be shrouded in darkness again.

Outside, there was only scattered snowflakes and howling cold wind.

This winter was particularly cold. Taking a deep breath was like a steel knife stirring in the lungs, and the wisps of white mist exhaled would take away body temperature thread by thread.

A dozen rabbit-men auxiliary soldiers curled up in their quilts, squeezing together to barely feel a little warmth. The brazier at the foot of the bunk was not allowed to dim, and firewood had to be added every once in a while.

Orc guards patrolled the camp, changing shifts every half an hour to avoid being frozen for too long outside.

"Winter is coming."

The lord was wearing a coat, looking at the white snow-covered mountains and plains, and suddenly had a moment of inspiration.

He has been in this world for three years. Although he has always been in the south before, he also knows something about the situation in the north.

This winter is really too bizarre.

But fortunately, there are no white walkers in this world, although there are undead and such.

But those are all things of the past.

Otherwise, Li Wei was really afraid that he would wake up one day and be surrounded by an endless army of white walkers.

After inspecting the Highcliff Castle camp and finding nothing wrong, Li Wei returned to the camp tent and crawled into bed.

"Hiss."

Mir and Zha Te made the same tooth-aching sound at the same time.

Originally, the two of them had just warmed the bed, but now the lord suddenly crawled in between the two of them, as if an ice cube had come in.

If it weren't for the fact that higher rank crushes people, Zha Te would have kicked out the lord long ago.

Nothing was said all night.

In the wilderness in the morning, the sky was not completely bright yet, and the entire Thorns Legion, like a sleeping giant, began to gradually wake up.

Li Wei was originally enjoying a beauty sleep, dreaming of hugging a fox spirit with red hair and a red tail on his left, and a mermaid princess with a beautiful face on his right.

As a result, suddenly, the fox spirit's charming face suddenly turned into Bai Ruisi Tiana, and the mermaid princess also suddenly turned intoFrina, which scared him awake all of a sudden.

Then he realized thatMir was excitedly waking him up.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, the reinforcements from Whiteflow City are here, and there are also those famous Panda warriors in there!"

While sighing " you dream of what you think about during the day", Li Wei yawned unhurriedly and put on his clothes.

BecauseFrina suddenly left, he was thinking about where this duchess went, so it was normal to dream about her.

How could he also dream about Bai Ruisi Tiana? He guessed that it was because he missed the food she made, the lord guessed.

After getting dressed and washing his face with cold water, Li Wei put on his leather armor, hung his long sword, and looked capable, ready to go see the so-called reinforcements.

In front of the camp, a team was handing over procedures with the Thorns Legion. The lord glanced roughly, and there were at least two or three thousand people.

"This is not the Panda warrior squad that was agreed upon."

Li Wei was a little puzzled.

Frina said earlier that she would transfer a Panda warrior over to support, but judging from the current situation, it was obviously more than that.

I'm afraid that the sudden departure of this duchess is not simple.

"It's a Panda warrior!"Mir jumped up excitedly, pointing to a team of about a hundred people in the distance.

The warriors in this team were all wearing open-chested linen warrior clothes, revealing their furry chests. Their drooping arms were all muscular, and their violent characteristics were obvious.

Black and white fur covered the faces of these warriors. Although they had been carefully trimmed and taken care of, the black curly hair on both sides of their eyes, like two iron gallbladders, made this face even more ferocious.

These Panda warriors were all more than three a unit of measurement tall, which is a circle stronger than that group of Minotaurs.

Clearly standing there doing nothing, the aura of a grandmaster master involuntarily emanated.

This is a group of masters!

The lord came to the conclusion.
