Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords

#199 - High EQ: Being thrown over the shoulder, low EQ: Slipping

Ogres, as a powerful force, would definitely not collapse so easily.

Against the Orcs, they were merely being beaten back without any ability to retaliate, but against the Highcliff Castle lord, it was as if they were being slaughtered. Their simple minds couldn't understand how this little dwarf could possess such great power.

And after their highly anticipated magic was easily blocked by the opponent, they could no longer withstand the pressure, and fear took over at that moment.

They directly bypassed the Drow priestesses they were guarding behind them and began to flee.

This left the four Drow priestesses, weakened and dizzy from magical exhaustion, exposed like they had taken off all their clothes, standing naked before the lord.

Without any obstruction, in just a few breaths, the burly men of Highcliff Castle surrounded the four Drow priestesses. They were like little white lambs surrounded by a pack of wolves, weak, pitiful, and helpless.

"Got you," the lord said, looking at the four female Drow priestesses before him, revealing two rows of white teeth. He waved his hand, "Tie them up for the Duke, and remember to gag them."

Several Orcs pounced forward and instantly bound their hands and feet. Zart even took out his own stinky socks, the stench of which resembled fish left out for days, causing the female Drow elves to roll their eyes and gag incessantly.

Zart didn't understand the concept of cherishing women; he brutally stuffed the socks into the mouths of two of the Drow elves, causing them to faint directly from the stench.

"Boss, the socks are gone," Zart scratched his head, looking at the lord.

Unlike Zart, who was uncouth, Li Wei maintained some aristocratic demeanor.

He took out two handkerchiefs and stuffed them into the mouths of the remaining two Drow elves.

The two Drow elves who had escaped the sock ordeal felt a sense of relief.

Compared to the stinky socks, the handkerchiefs were within their acceptable range, and they developed a slight fondness for the lord.

"Let's get out of here," the lord stopped the Orcish brutes who were preparing to meet the approaching Ogre squad.

The strategic objective of this battle had been achieved, and there was no need to continue fighting.

After this short delay, the Ogre reinforcements were only a hundred paces away, but this distance, which could normally be covered quickly, now seemed like an insurmountable chasm.

The brutes retreated towards the city wall behind them at an even faster speed.

No matter how angrily the Ogres roared behind them, they could only watch as the distance between them grew.

Li Wei quickly reunited with Meer and Maisha.

Meer decisively decided to clear a safe path for Highcliff Castle.

The Wildland Coalition forces attacking the breach had been almost completely wiped out by the Fede archers, leaving only about a hundred Minotaurs struggling to hold on inside the breach.

"Good job," he patted Meer on the shoulder in affirmation.

He hadn't kept Meer by his side, but instead had him lead the Fede archers, because he wanted to train him into a commander, not just a reckless brute who only knew how to fight.

Meer's independent assessment of the situation and the arrangements he made proved that his efforts during this time had not been in vain.

The knowledge he gained from books, combined with practical experience, allowed him to grow rapidly, like a sponge absorbing water.

"Leave the rest to me!" Maisha looked at the last Minotaurs at the breach, reached out and grasped the Ice Goddess badge hanging on her chest, and ice-blue light emanated from between her fingers.

After a rapid chant, she summoned a giant snowball as tall as six blades, which rolled towards the Minotaurs like a chariot.

The power was far greater than imagined. The abundant elemental power allowed the snowball to easily crush the Minotaurs in the front, then shatter into pure ice and snow elements, freezing dozens of Minotaurs around it into ice sculptures.

In fact, Maisha was also surprised that her magic had become so powerful.

The snowy weather gave her a greater boost than she had imagined.

"Finish them off and take the city wall!" the lord snapped his fingers and took the lead in launching a charge.

In no time, he had dealt with the remaining berserk Minotaurs.

Just as the lord crossed the breach and prepared to enter, a whistling sound came from above.

"Lord, be careful!" the young priestess cried out in alarm.

A giant hand made entirely of tree trunks was stealthily slamming down from behind the city wall.

Boom!

Before he could say anything, the lord demonstrated an extremely profound technique of force dissipation in front of a group of proud brutes, using a shoulder throw.

A Treant, fully eight blades tall and with a huge body, flew out from behind the breach with a "boom" and slammed heavily onto the corpses on the ground, stirring up a wave of flesh, like stepping on ketchup.

This made the brutes shake their heads and mourn for the Treant, as none of them understood better than they did how painful their boss's shoulder throw was.

At the same time, they felt that they still had a long way to go compared to their boss.

"Damn it."

Li Wei admitted that he was startled. He had calculated everything, but he hadn't expected friendly fire.

"I am Baron Li Wei, the lord of Highcliff Castle in the Debe Kingdom, reinforcements sent with Duchess Fulinna to aid our elven friends!"

He quickly shouted.

Several Treants who were rushing over stopped and looked at the group of little dwarves in front of them, beginning to whisper among themselves.

They had never heard of Highcliff Castle, nor did they know who this Baron Li Wei was, but they were definitely familiar with Fulinna.

Despite their seemingly unintelligent appearance, they were actually very cautious: "Please forgive our suspicion, we need to inquire about this first."

Two Treants helped up their comrade who was seeing stars on the ground, while another left the breach.

"Ross, who did this to you?"

The two Treants who were helping their comrade quickly asked after the Treant who had attacked the lord had recovered somewhat.

They really couldn't understand who could knock a Treant to the ground.

They had all been dealing with the remaining enemies and hadn't noticed the breach at all.

The lord immediately pulled Maisha aside and chatted casually, as if it had nothing to do with them.

The Treant called Ross glanced at a certain lord and was too embarrassed to say that he had been forcibly pulled out and then given a shoulder throw, grumbling, "I slipped just now and accidentally fell to the ground."

The other two Treants clearly didn't believe it.

"This Baron Li Wei is indeed here to support us, let him and his followers in," the Treant who had returned broke the current awkward situation and had a dozen Treants open a path.

Li Wei waved his hand, and the people of Highcliff Castle followed and entered through the breach in the city wall.

The dozen or so Treants continued to block the breach.

Behind the city wall was a mountain peak, with a road in the middle. This city wall was clearly just a pass.

In the open space, in addition to elven warriors, there were also many elven women and children running back and forth, helping the wounded.

The injuries caused by heavy weapons such as giant axes or giant clubs were terrifying, but their faces only showed habit or numbness.

"Zart, take fifty people and guard the breach with the Treants. The rest of you, come with me to the city wall to assist in the defense," Li Wei ordered, then rushed towards the city wall without stopping.

Previously, they had only dealt with the Wildland Coalition forces at the breach. This city wall was a hundred paces long, and the Wildland Coalition forces were still attacking other locations.

Everyone rushed up the city wall again.

Fighting was still going on on the city wall. Wildlanders were constantly climbing up, and the elves were trying their best to knock them back.

Li Wei immediately saw a disheveled silver-armored knight fighting with four or five pig-headed warriors not far away.

Li Wei made a gesture, and Meer immediately led people to assist the elves in defending the city. The lord took the lead and rushed over, kicking a pig-headed warrior to the ground and cutting down the rest with two swords.

Until their deaths, these pig-headed people didn't know which little bastard was attacking from behind.

The silver-armored knight also felt relieved at this time. Just as she was about to collapse to the ground, she was hugged by the lord.

"You tiger woman, with hundreds of thousands of troops under your command, who couldn't you send, but you had to come to this ghostly place yourself? If you really died in this remote area, what am I supposed to do in the future?"

"Wouldn't my 'Lion Hunter Knight' title be in vain? Then I would really lose both my wife and my army."

The lord looked at Fulinna in his arms, whose face was a little pale, and nagged with disappointment.

Frankly speaking, honestly, he was speaking from the bottom of his heart.

If Fulinna really died here, the Northern Territory would definitely be turbulent, which was only secondary.

Without a duchess to withstand the pressure, he would bear the pressure from the Southern Territory Duke alone.

Li Wei admitted that he was strong, but the people under his command were not as strong as he was. He could run if he couldn't beat them, but others couldn't run.

The only result at that time would be that he would become a lone wolf, which was definitely contrary to his original intention.

"Aren't you here?" Fulinna had a smile on her face, then looked at the lord's hand with a smile that wasn't a smile: "Speaking of which, how long do you want to hug me?"

"Bah, am I that kind of person? It's really a good intention fed to a dog."

The lord put on a righteous appearance, then smacked his lips and helped Fulinna to lean against the city wall, and even thoughtfully found her a Wildlander corpse to serve as a meat cushion.

This duchess was also big-hearted, and sat on the corpse without any concern.

"Tsk tsk, your miserable appearance is like you were fished out of blood."

As the brutes took over the city defense, the situation instantly reversed, and the Wildlanders couldn't even raise their heads. Only then did the lord have the leisure to joke.

"Tch, do you think you're any better?" Fulinna scoffed.

If she was fished out of blood, then this Baron Li Wei in front of her was definitely rolled over in a meat grinder full of minced flesh and blood ten times.

The goose feather snow in the sky turned into rain instantly when it fell on him, constantly washing out the minced flesh and blood夹杂 in the gaps of his armor.

"Are you the 'Lion Hunter Knight'?"

At this time, a melodious voice like a lark came from the side. The lord looked up and was stunned for two breaths.

This was a female high elf wearing golden light armor. Her skin was whiter than porcelain, her frame was slender and graceful, and her face, though somewhat pale, gathered all the beauty in the world that all the scholars combined could not describe even a fraction of—beauty.

The pure-blooded high elves, who were regarded as treasures in the palm of the Titans' hands in legends, possessed an amazing beauty that other races could not compare to. The most beautiful flowers would wither in shame, and the moon would close its doors and windows in jealousy.

From ancient times to the present, they were considered the unsurpassable pinnacle of beauty. Li Wei believed that even if this elf of the Wind Whisper Tribe was not comparable, she was definitely not far off.

This judgment was only a conservative statement given by the lord before he had seen the pure-blooded high elves.

"Actually, I'm not the 'Lion Hunter Knight' yet. I'm the lord of Highcliff Castle, a baron of the Debe Kingdom. You can call me Li Wei," the lord took off his helmet and smiled slightly.

It wasn't that he had any ideas about this female elf in front of him. He was purely shocked by an ultimate beauty on the spot. Appreciating beauty was an innate ability of all intelligent creatures, and he was no exception.

"I am Aisi Windwhisper, the elven queen of the Wind Whisper Tribe. Thank you for your selfless assistance."

"The Wind Whisper Tribe will not forget your current efforts."

Aisi Windwhisper was stunned by Li Wei who took off his helmet for three breaths before she came back to her senses and said sincerely.

To be honest, she had always thought that there was a middle-aged or elderly knight with a stubble under the helmet.

After all, the strength of this "Lion Hunter Knight" was terrifyingly strong, and strength was often linked to age. Generally, if a human wanted to reach this level of strength in their lifespan, their age would definitely have reached an unignorable level.

But she didn't expect the face under the helmet to be unexpectedly young and handsome.

"It's nothing. I think no one can sit idly by and watch the beautiful elves be destroyed by a group of rough men," Li Wei showed what he thought was the most handsome and unrestrained smile.

Li Wei's tone, which was very different from before, made Fulinna feel as annoyed as if she had lice all over her body.

"From now on, you are the 'Lion Hunter Knight'," Fulinna said faintly, interrupting the two of them from continuing to praise each other in front of her.

It was so annoying.

"So generous? Aren't you going to test me again?" Li Wei scratched his head.

This thing came too easily and easily, so he didn't have a sense of accomplishment or ritual.

"This title was originally yours, it's just a matter of sooner or later," Fulinna shook her head.

"Moreover, I can give this title to whoever I want. It's precious only because it's the first honorary title I've conferred. No one has ever received it, so it naturally becomes precious."

After saying this, Fulinna looked at Li Wei: "Do you think I'm willful or inexplicable?"

Thinking about what this tiger woman had done, first she personally came to lead the Thorn Legion, and then she even went deep into the wilderness alone with a small team, Li Wei really wanted to nod and say yes, but he still reluctantly said euphemistically: "Not really, I just think it's a bit arbitrary."

"I'm already a duchess, can't I be arbitrary? Wouldn't this duchess be for nothing?"

Fulinna smiled and said what the lord was thinking.

At this moment, the two reached a certain consensus in some aspects.
