Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords
#259 - The purpose of the Order of the Griffin
Black Stone Fortress, which had been defended for nearly half a month, was breached. Just as the Northern Territory Army collectively cheered and opened the city gates, allowing the main force to enter and eliminate the last pockets of resistance within the city.
The Gryphon Knight Order, arriving from the north, not only brought with them a gale that rustled the mountain pine needles, but also orders that baffled all the commanders and soldiers.
While the soldiers were hesitating, an order swiftly came from the temporary military conference room, and they once again raised their weapons and charged directly into the inner fortress. However, the expected great battle did not occur.
What came into view was the Southern Territory Defense Force, who had laid down their arms and looked like bereaved families. The Northern soldiers took over the surrendered troops and the inner fortress as if they were entering an unpopulated area, filled with bewilderment.
For the common soldiers, the arrival of the Gryphon Knights was inexplicable, and this victory was even more perplexing. However, after enduring more than half a month of bitter fighting, the victory was worth celebrating, and they wouldn't overthink it. These issues would naturally be considered by the important figures.
After entering the city, Fojello looked at the triumphant Lord with a complex expression. Some had lost half of their spellcasting group in the siege without achieving anything, some had lost their entire elite soldiers, and some had even ended up half paralyzed without earning a single copper coin's worth of merit.
Yet, a team of only a few hundred people, without even suffering any losses, had captured all of the enemy's leaders alive. This stark contrast made him unable to resist feeling a bit of jealousy.
"Old Fogg, I have been fortunate enough to fulfill my mission."
The Lord had his hands in his pockets, his face full of triumph, until he saw the figure being surrounded by the Northern Territory nobles in front of him, and then he put on a modest expression.
"Lee, good job."
Fulina, dressed in military attire, was decisive and efficient. After praising him, her gaze turned to the group of Black Stone Fortress nobles led by Cross behind him.
"All escort to the dungeon and await disposal." She did not waste words on a victor's speech.
But it was this conciseness that made Marquis Cross sigh, and also made the Southern Territory nobles feel uneasy.
Dozens of Dou Qi Knights stepped forward and escort them.
To be honest, this was the second time Lee had seen Fulina since he went south, apart from the highest-level meeting.
Compared to before, she was now wearing Mithril light armor engraved with exquisite patterns, her burgundy beautiful hair tied into a waist-length ponytail, with a sword hanging on her waist, looking less like a Duchess and more like a Knight.
However, the aura of a ruler emanating from her was not something that any common soldier could possess.
Lee waved his hand, and the Highcliff Fortress team immediately went to gather with the main force outside the city. He then appropriately joined the noble team, half a step behind Fulina.
"Madam Fulina, what's the matter with the Gryphon Knights?"
After considering his words, Lee asked.
After all, this was in front of all the Northern Territory nobles, and the Lord couldn't directly call her name, and then be labeled as disrespectful to the Duchess, and be verbally criticized by those noble pigs.
"Hmph, just want me to stop the war with a few words, how can there be such a good thing in the world." Fulina snorted coldly and strode towards the inner fort: "No matter what their purpose is, this war cannot be avoided."
"Lee, you did a good job this time. Afterwards, as long as it is something within my power, I can promise you."
Fulina opened a blank check, but it made all the Northern Territory nobles as sour as if they had eaten unripe lemons, and they couldn't wait to replace the kid following behind the Duchess.
"Madam Fulina, it's all the destiny."
Lee said modest words, but he was overjoyed.
An verbal check issued by a Duchess in front of all the Northern Territory nobles is different from the big promise drawn by those bosses in the previous life. As long as he dares to ask, the other party can really give it as long as it is within her power!
It was not in vain that he gave up entering the inner fort. In order to prevent accidents, he chose to capture these Southern Territory nobles first.
The Gryphon Knights hovering above saw that they could not stop the war at all, so they had to wait until the Northern Territory flag was planted all over the Black Stone Fortress before slowly descending to the open ground of the inner fort, so as not to be regarded as allies of the enemy and be beaten on both sides.
……
It took more than 100,000 people several hours just to enter the city, and then they had to re-plan the camp and set up patrols. By the time everything was busy, the sun in the sky was already like a salted duck egg yolk.
Fulina went to deal with the Gryphon Knights, and the Lord did not follow.
After all, the reason for this war was him and Leah. No king would treat the two culprits who caused the war in his territory kindly.
The other party is the king's bodyguard. Those above will follow suit, and they probably won't give him and Leah a good face, so there is no need to eat the other party's cold ass.
After fighting for a month, he finally came to the city again. The Lord was stealthily pulling Earl Montvert of Wolf Island to experience the local customs of this southern city.
Unfortunately, after half a month of siege, the civilians of this city dare not come out now. They are all hiding in their houses, only a pair of eyes carefully observing through the door crack.
"Lee, let's go back. This city has just experienced war, and no one will dare to come out to do business." Montvert said helplessly. He didn't want to come, but he is now a hot figure who has captured the Black Stone Fortress, so he can only accompany this Baron who has worked hard.
Just when Lee also thought he was a fool, the two turned a corner, and a brightly lit street appeared in front of them.
"Your Excellency, you are wrong. Isn't this all people?" The Lord laughed and took the initiative to walk in.
As a result, as soon as they entered, the two regretted their decision.
This street was filled with messy perfume smells, with torches hanging on both sides, and unknown mist rising from the ground, so there was a hazy feeling.
What made the two regret was that countless women with heavy makeup and flirtatious clothes were standing at the doors of the houses on both sides.
And there were already some Northern Territory soldiers and officers here. Seeing two nobles coming here, they immediately became at a loss and a little uneasy. After all, playing with prostitutes is undoubtedly a violation of military discipline.
They didn't even care about the woman in their arms and hurriedly saluted.
This also made all the prostitutes here shine.
The Lord waved his hand to indicate that it was okay. The soldiers were relieved, and some bold ones even dared to tease: "Sir, the women here are much younger than those in the Northern Territory. They have no body odor and their skin is as smooth as ice and snow. They are definitely worth a try."
Lee and Montvert realized that they had come to the red-light district, but now they were being watched by the Northern Territory soldiers. If they turned around and left, they would both be well-known figures, and there would definitely be a black history left in the future, so they had to bite the bullet and walk down.
"Sir, I am very tight, only fifty copper coins."
A woman with brown curly hair, still opening her chest in the cold weather, took the initiative to walk over. She had a pair of thick, bright red lips, and licked her lips while talking.
"Sir, I am tighter than her, I only need twenty-five copper coins."
Countless prostitutes who have not yet attracted customers are frantically winking and twisting their waists. If those conservative etiquette teachers in the palace saw it, they would definitely scold for a day and a night of immoral.
"Sir, I don't want money, I only want to spend a night with you."
Some prostitutes even came to the Lord and touched the Lord's fine breastplate with their white hands.
Although Montvert's face could not be seen, Lee knew that this old boy was definitely suppressing laughter.
Thinking that he is a well-known Lord of Highcliff Fortress and a Lion Hunter Knight, although his dream is to be a bard who mixes in the circle of noble women, he did not expect to be charmed by his beauty by prostitutes, it is simply unreasonable.
"Sir, sixty copper coins, I am tighter than them, and can even give you a different experience."
At this moment, a hoarse voice sounded, and a thin "woman" with a flower on her head came swaying her waist. Her face was barely considered pretty, wearing thick unknown makeup, and threw a flirtatious glance at the Lord.
Even people with blind eyes can tell that this is a man, let alone Lee.
" Get out!"
The Lord finally couldn't hold back and ran out of this street.
"Damn, I probably won't be able to eat for a day."
Lee shivered when he thought of the scene just now. Sleeping in a pile of corpses was far less shocking than now.
"Hahaha, Lee, I didn't expect you to have never been to the red-light district. The Baron of Highcliff Fortress, whose name resounds Debe, is still a boy."
Earl Wolf Island wantonly laughed, after all, there are not many opportunities to laugh at this Lion Hunter Knight, and he must take advantage of it.
"Hmph, haven't you been here either? Just now, the prostitute who was enough to feed five children was lying on you, and her movements were stiff, right?" The Lord immediately retorted, unceremoniously, which made the latter immediately ashamed into anger.
"That's because I am loyal enough to love. I already have a wife and three children."
"Then, Your Excellency's wife must be an unimaginable beauty."
The Lord did not continue to make fun of Earl Wolf Island, but accepted the topic.
"No, she is just a female ranger, and many people even say she is very ordinary, but in my eyes, she is the most precious gift God has given me." Montvert paused slightly, and then continued:
"When I was young, I traveled in Debe, in..."
"Stop, Your Excellency, I don't want to hear your love history." Lee had a headache and regretted accepting this topic, and quickly interrupted Earl Wolf Island's self-conscious memory: "You should find a married listener, not me, a young man."
"No, I just want to tell you." Montvert smiled slyly: "Just take this as an earl's willful behavior."
"Damn it, using your official position to suppress people, right." The Lord cursed in his heart, with a helpless expression on his face: "You say."
After all, he pulled people to go shopping to see if there were any stage plays or snack streets, but unexpectedly entered the red-light district for no reason, and made a joke.
Then there was a long content mixed with with love history and family history.
Lee found that Earl Wolf Island was really a wonderful person. He married the female ranger when he was young, and has not had any scandals since then. If he were in his previous life, he would be a model of loyal love.
But in this world, it is completely unique, after all, even the king, in addition to the queen, has a mistress, let alone those nobles, otherwise, the rumor would not have spread - if all the illegitimate children in Debe formed an army, it would be enough to overthrow the noble rule.
Even without saying far, don't look at Count Andao's thick eyebrows and big eyes, I heard that he is also a frequent visitor to the royal Canary Garden, and there are three or four known illegitimate children, one of whom is brought with him as a sword servant.
When the two returned to the garrison while chatting, it was already midnight, but Lee found that someone was already waiting at the camp gate, inexplicably he felt a little guilty.
"Lee, where have you been? I asked Mir and they all said they didn't know, so I can only wait for you here."
Leah, wearing a white fluff cloak and a fine thickened long skirt, greeted her. She wiggled her nose twice, and then looked at the two with a suspicious face: "Why do you smell of perfume?"
Montvert was a little embarrassed, how could he say that the two had just strolled the red-light district.
If this word spread back to Wolf Island, then he probably wouldn't be able to get into bed again.
"Cough cough, this..." The Lord smiled awkwardly, while greeting Leah and walking inside.
"Hey, isn't this all because of Earl Montvert. He has been out for so long and he really misses his wife. He thought that he had just finished the war and had time to look for a suitable bottle of perfume in the city and send it back to express his missing feelings." The Lord's expression was as noble as a gentleman who sacrificed his life to accompany his friends. He spread out his hands: "I couldn't stand his request, so I could only follow him, so I got some taste on me."
Montvert was silent for a long time, looked at the Lord who was winking, and finally nodded: "Yes, it was indeed me who asked Lee to go with me, after all, I only know how to wield a sword, and I don't know anything about perfume, thinking that young people should know something about this."
"Then did you buy the perfume?" After all, she was her own vassal, Leah asked curiously.
"氵..." Lee's word "mei" had not yet been spoken, when he was interrupted by Montvert.
"Lee thinks that the quality of the perfume in that store is too poor, and he is going to personally buy a good bottle from Karen to send to me, so that I can send it to my wife." Montvert smiled slightly, and his expression towards the Lord was sincere and sincere.
"Yes, I did say that." Lee was silent for a long time, and did not expect to hoist oneself with one's own petard, and finally sighed: "Black Stone Fortress is not Karen after all, the quality of the perfume is far from worthy of the wife of an Earl of Wolf Island, so I promised Earl Montvert to personally select a bottle for him from Karen."
"Okay." Leah nodded, not forgetting to help the two: "If there is really no suitable perfume, I still have some unopened ones here, you can take it if you don't mind."
This girl did not even think about the problem of why the perfume shop would still be open at night.
Montvert said a thank you.
Leah shook her white hands twice, and then said why she was waiting here: "Lee, Fulina has called a meeting, requiring all nobles to be present."
Speaking of this, her small face was serious and earnest: "It's related to the arrival of the Gryphon Knights!"
