Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords
#280 - Finally on the big stage
Li Wei took the orange and ate it in one bite. He didn't know if it was because of the beautiful woman in front of him, or what, but this orange wasn't as sour as usual, but unusually sweet.
He looked at Sofia like a demon scaring a naughty child and said in a deep voice, "Something has happened. Hundreds of thousands of demons have surrounded Coln. Just now, I, the lord, exchanged a few blows with them, including the Eight-Armed Snake Demon and the Balor Flame Demon. I believe you all know these two kinds of demons. Their strength is really terrifying. In the era when the ancient Elven Empire ruled the land and the elements were rich, these two were truly legendary figures."
Upon hearing this, the silver dragon girl's heart trembled. She was a true dragon who had inherited knowledge, and naturally had information about demons in her inheritance, knowing that Li Wei was not lying.
Only adult dragons have the ability to fight these two creatures, and she is still a juvenile dragon and can't possibly be a match.
"I don't know how those two demons knew that Coln had news of a dragon, so they prepared to catch a dragon to stew soup with dragon bones and grill dragon heart..." The lord pretended to be puzzled, but was interrupted by the silver dragon girl leaving her seat halfway through his sentence.
The other party trotted to squat in a corner, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and soon hung a small cashmere satchel embroidered with 'Gink' on her waist.
"What are you doing?"
The lord was stunned.
"Of course, I'm running away!" Sofia said matter-of-factly, and even turned around to earnestly persuade the lord, "Li Wei, I advise you to run away with me too. We can't deal with these two demons. The only outcome of staying is to be reduced to a member of their casserole soup."
"Only adult dragons on Dragon Island or some legendary dragon species can deal with this kind of creature. I'll take you back to Highcliff Castle, and they definitely won't be able to catch up!"
Even afraid that the lord's self-esteem would be hurt, she comforted him, "We're not running away, but strategically retreating. When I grow up, I'll definitely eat them all!"
Heather, who was on the side watching this scene, pinched her thigh to stop herself from laughing. This made her expression a bit wry, "Lord Li Wei, why did you scare her for no reason?"
This was probably something only this somewhat silly dragon-blooded girl would believe.
From Heather's understanding, if the other party was really so powerful, then the first one to run away would definitely be Li Wei.
The other party seemed to be reckless all the way, but Heather knew that this was just an illusion caused by the other party's strength being too strong. Every time he made a move, it was after confirming that his side was stronger than the enemy, before making a final decision.
Especially now, he still had the leisure to eat here, and didn't look like he was surrounded by a demon army at all.
Li Wei looked at Sofia, who had changed so much in thirty years, and had many things to say, but didn't know where to start.
After a round of explanations, he finally made Sofia understand that the demons had indeed come, but they were just some of the lowest-level demons that could be killed with a single dragon breath.
Her cheeks puffed up immediately, and she angrily hid the small bag back in her sleeping quilt.
She made up her mind not to pay attention to the lord for a few days, but when she saw a silver coin falling on the table in a parabola, she suddenly felt that deceiving herself wasn't impossible. She quickly stuffed it into her purse like a happy little hamster.
Then she took the initiative to massage the lord's shoulders.
Unfortunately, her technique was really bad, completely a mess, but fortunately, she had a lot of strength, much stronger than those soft-boned goatman maids.
Lying in the chair, Li Wei raised his eyebrows at Heather triumphantly. No one understood how to handle this little silver dragon better than him.
...
When the dark sky was torn open, Coln, which had been sleeping all night, also began to recover.
First of all, the entire city was under martial law, strictly prohibiting residents from going out. The residents in the city center didn't know what was happening, but the residents near the city walls were really frightened by the miserable screams and wails at night and didn't sleep all night. Now, even if there was no martial law, they probably wouldn't dare to go out.
However, they all prayed in their hearts that if there was a war, please don't harm them, the unarmed civilians.
Today, the south has begun to gradually warm up, and everything is recovering. The birch trees in the woodland are lush and green, and the tulips planted near Coln have also begun to bloom.
Unfortunately, this beautiful scenery was completely destroyed by the demon corpses all over the city.
In addition to the corpses near the city walls, the grass in the distance was full of dragged bloodstains.
Obviously, most of the demon corpses were dragged back by their companions, and the ending must be to make the best use of everything and be reduced to food.
After all, demons don't have any moral concepts. Eating their own kind is simply commonplace for them.
The sudden bad news obviously made many people not sleep all night.
Lia and Onaya, two delicate women, were the most obvious, with some listlessness and constantly yawning.
Of course, compared to Heather, whose eyes were full of bloodshot, it was completely insignificant.
Since coming to Highcliff Castle, her daily task was to study spells and meditate to increase her magic power, but after coming into contact with someone's self-made card game.
She became addicted and quickly fell in love with this game.
Last night, she was pulled by someone who couldn't sleep to form a card game, which lasted all night. Plus, she always lost, and now her mind is full of how to win the next game.
She glared resentfully at someone who was full of energy.
"Miss Lia, didn't you sleep last night?" The lord stretched and greeted her with vigor.
With his current physical strength, not sleeping for one night is just a warm-up, but it makes him more energetic.
"Anyone who hears this news, how can they sleep?" Lia nodded, then looked at Li Wei with envy, "Li Wei, you have really good spirits."
"I was already full of energy, not to mention that I also practiced the 'Holy Word Codex' you brought. As far as I know, those fourth and fifth-order paladins, even if they don't sleep for ten days and ten nights, are at most a little sleepy."
Not to mention that his physique was far superior to ordinary people before, but now that he has cultivated the 'Holy Word Codex', his physique is becoming more and more inhuman.
If sleeping wasn't a habit and hobby of his, he would probably only need to sleep once or twice a month.
"My lords, Duchess Flirina has been waiting for a long time."
Regoni, supporting her saber, trotted over from a distance.
When the group arrived at Flirina's place, the nobles of the North had also arrived long ago.
It's just that unlike them who were still chatting and laughing, these northern nobles had some sadness on their faces, and the atmosphere seemed a bit heavy.
It seems that Flirina had told them the news that Ando had heroically sacrificed.
Although the North is divided into two factions, Count Ando is a good old man and has a good relationship with most nobles.
Just a few days ago, they were still drinking and chatting about women, discussing how to find a few tall northern women to relieve their boredom when they went back.
As a result, I didn't expect to hear from him again, but he had already become food in the belly of a demon.
"Old Fogg, what did Lady Flirina say?" Li Wei patted Foggello on the shoulder.
Since Ando died and Tess was hemiplegic, the only people he knew and had a good relationship with in the North were him, Skye, and Penta.
However, Skye is still guarding the supply line in Dreadfort, and Penta is probably in the barracks.
"The adults have sent people to investigate the movements of this demon army." Foggello sighed, obviously not in a good mood either.
The North has lost three earls, which can be said to be a heavy blow to anyone.
"Until now, the scouts have not seen the figures of these demons. Most people speculate that this is just a small team that suddenly bypassed White Bone Fortress."
"Because if it is the main force, it is really unreasonable to just let Coln go like this."
"Therefore, Lady Flirina decided to send troops to completely wipe them out."
Foggello stroked the ring on his thumb and looked at the lord, "And the adults intend to choose you and me to serve as vanguards."
Li Wei thought for a while before nodding slightly, "Of course, there is no problem, but the premise is that Miss Lia agrees."
Now that Lia has also become a duke, things are different now. The Highcliff Castle team no longer directly listens to Flirina's dispatch.
Of course, this is also something that no one can refute. Lia is his true lord and has the right to conduct military deployment on him.
"Li Wei, I have already discussed with Aunt Flirina. You and General Foggello will serve as vanguards together."
Not knowing when, Lia, who had discussed with Flirina, came behind the two of them. She patted the back of the lord's hand with her small hand and placed a ring in the other party's palm.
"Magic equipment?" The lord took it in his hand and watched carefully. Just looking at the intricate patterns engraved on the ring and the exquisite magic stone, he knew that it was not an ordinary product, not to mention that there was also a magical glow flowing on it.
Heather's eyes had also moved to it long ago. She could feel the rich elemental fluctuations inside the ring. This was obviously an extremely powerful magic item.
"How to use this?" The lord asked shamelessly, not caring that this would expose his hillbilly nature.
As a genuine melee brute, although the noble mage was the profession he wanted to be most, but God did not reward him with this bowl of rice.
Therefore, although he knew a lot of magic knowledge, he still saw expensive magic items for the first time.
"There is a small mechanism next to the ring. As long as you press it, it can randomly teleport you to a location hundreds of miles away within a few pulses, allowing you to escape from the enemy." Lia explained patiently, "This is the coronation gift that Smode Saint gave me."
"Why isn't it a powerful magic item that summons meteorites?" The lord smacked his mouth, a bit greedy.
"How is that possible? Even if there are such powerful magic items left over, they have probably been used up long ago, or they are being preserved as the foundation of the church, leaving only this kind of relic that is not very useful and can be given to outsiders." Lia rolled her eyes.
Although the magic power concentration has begun to recover, it is still not as good as before, so these powerful magic equipment are all left over from before.
After tossing it in his hand a few times, Li Wei returned it to Lia, "I still return it to you, I don't need it."
"If I have fallen to the point of having to run away, then the other party is definitely powerful beyond imagination, and it is estimated that I can't escape with a ring."
It's not that Li Wei is boasting, how many pulses can he teleport away? For experts, this time is enough to execute the enemy.
Not to mention him.
"Okay." Her kindness was taken as a donkey's liver and lungs, Lia didn't care too much, but put the ring back on her hand like a miser.
In her opinion, this magic equipment is extremely practical. If she had it back then, her mother wouldn't have been trapped in Coln.
And it is also valuable in itself. If it were someone else, she would be reluctant to give him the ring.
Since the decision has been made, the lord didn't ink much and directly shouted, "Gus, Hogg, prepare for battle, the rest stay in Coln to protect Miss Lia."
This time, they are only serving as vanguards to investigate the specific situation of the other party. If they can beat them, they can wipe them out by themselves. If they can't beat them, they will call for the main force.
Therefore, there is no need to bring the two-legged orc warriors and Fede archers, just bring the gnoll scouts and centaurs.
"Be careful." Lia reminded someone tirelessly.
"Don't worry, I haven't even seen the shadow of a six-armed snake demon, it must be a bunch of ragtag gangs." Li Wei comforted, and then said, "When I'm not here, the Highcliff Castle team will be in charge of Layton. You know it, if you have anything, just find it, or you can let Olark take charge."
Li Wei is very relieved to hand over Highcliff Castle to Layton. This earth spirit is very smart and can handle things perfectly. If it were Zart, he would probably have to worry about whether this guy would speak with a fist as big as a sandbag if he disagreed after he left.
"Okay." Lia nodded.
This is the tacit understanding between the two. Now Highcliff Castle is still a small bum in the wilderness. With Lia, the Grand Duchess, on top, many things will be much more convenient.
Therefore, Lia's safety is more important to Li Wei than Onaya's.
The two can be regarded as mutually beneficial and a community of interests. Of course, there is no need to elaborate on the emotional entanglement.
Seeing that the shaman orc Olark was not named again when the war started again, he sighed in his heart, with a sense of loss similar to that of a king in the Far East court choosing concubines and failing every time.
Knowing that his work as a guard is estimated to end when he leaves Coln.
Since the centaurs appeared in the public's vision, this natural heavy cavalry has attracted the attention of too many people.
As long as they are not blind, they can see that this group of strong men with an average height of about three blades and a weight of several thousand pounds, once they put on armor and launch a charge, will definitely be overwhelming and unstoppable.
But the front has always been siege warfare, and these centaurs have no chance to perform. Instead, the orc warriors have shown their prowess, making people understand that Highcliff Castle is not only the centaur army.
Now this unknown team has finally arrived at the opportunity to take the stage.
Li Wei pressed his saber and walked towards his waiting subordinates.
The centaurs are like dark ancient warriors, their thick forelimbs stepping rhythmically. This is not because of the unease in the face of demons, but excitement. They have long yearned for battle.
This is the indelible will hidden in their blood.
Lenier never needs a tombstone, they will run wild on the grassland until they rot!
A well-known banner was raised, and the red sun shone on the flame-encircled high mountain, fluttering in the wind.
