Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords

Pure power brings the most violent visual impact.

Even a camel can be overwhelmed by the last straw, let alone the human heart.

As a human effortlessly beat their undefeated leader until blood flowed from his mouth and nose, his unparalleled massive body collapsed with a crash.

The centaur clan warriors, already suffering greatly at the hands of the Panta warriors, naturally lost their last shred of courage.

One by one, they discarded their weapons and fell to the ground on all fours.

They were proud warriors of the grasslands, the sun-chasing Lynels, but at this moment, the instinct for survival took over.

The leader's defeat made them see no possibility of victory, so there was no need to persist.

The battle essentially came to a halt, and the prisoners were kept under the watchful eyes of the Panta warriors, obediently prostrating on the ground.

"Captain Panta's strength is truly terrifying. This centaur's arm bones are mostly shattered, as if crushed by a stone mill. If it weren't for his own physical resilience, he would probably have returned to the embrace of the Wild God long ago."

When Fugin arrived in front of the person he was asked to heal, his face was full of surprise and admiration, and he couldn't help but look at Panta, the Pandaren, with new respect.

Just by looking at this centaur leader, one could tell he was a ruthless character. Even if he couldn't beat Panta, the two of them should at least be evenly matched. But unexpectedly, the Pandaren was standing there perfectly fine, while this centaur was lying on the ground half-dead. The difference between them was obvious.

The vanguard's line of officers, big and small, stood with their arms crossed, looking left and right at the miserable centaur leader.

"Actually, I wasn't the one who defeated this centaur leader. It was Lord Li Wei who single-handedly beat him into this state."

Panta was an honest person, disdained to lie, so what he said was true. He neither exaggerated nor tried to take credit.

"This?"

Everyone looked at each other, glancing at their lord's slender body, and then at the centaur leader's towering figure, which was even three points bigger than Panta, this burly Pandaren.

No matter how they thought about it, the two of them couldn't be more different.

"Hiss, Boss, you've improved again?"

Only Zart looked horrified, as if he had seen a ghost.

As the lord's number one thug and sparring partner, no one knew his boss's strength better than him.

Therefore, seeing the centaur leader's miserable state, he could clearly feel that his boss's strength had increased again.

This made him feel unbelievable.

As everyone knows, the growth of strength is not like eating and drinking, but increases bit by bit through the tempering of time.

It's like climbing a towering snow peak, the higher you climb, the more difficult it will be to move forward even a few steps.

The improvement of strength is also the same. In Zart's opinion, his boss's strength had already reached a peak that made people look up to him. To move forward a few more steps would be no less difficult than moving the mountains in front of him.

With the lord nodding with a calm expression.

"Boss, teach me! I really want to improve!"

Zart didn't hesitate at all, and immediately came to the lord's side, hugging his lord's thigh tightly. This smooth movement was really difficult for his large frame.

Everyone immediately pricked up their ears, wanting to hear the secrets contained within.

No matter how they thought about it, this Highcliff Castle lord couldn't possibly defeat this centaur leader unscathed, but the fact was right in front of them. No matter how bizarre it was, the fact was the fact.

They couldn't help but believe it.

"Lord, is it the 'Radiant Holy Word Codex'?" Sky asked thoughtfully.

Admittedly, this Highcliff Castle lord's own strength was not bad, but to achieve this level with just human strength, he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. He could only rely on the 'Radiant Holy Word Codex' brought by Miss Lyra to feel a bit of reality.

"That's right, it is the 'Radiant Holy Word Codex.'" Li Wei snapped his fingers.

Panta, who had been quietly pricking up his ears, wondered if he had heard wrong.

He had indeed heard Sky mention before that this lord had cultivated the 'Radiant Holy Word Codex,' but it was just a passing mention.

Therefore, considering the current era, it was almost impossible to advance by cultivating this kind of ultra-niche old antique, so he subconsciously thought that Li Wei was just dabbling in it.

But judging from the current performance, it was obviously not as simple as he thought.

"What rank are you now, Lord?" Panta stared at the lord's face, wanting to hear the word that would make everything reasonable.

"There was a bit of a problem, I haven't advanced to become a Sanctuary yet." The lord kicked Zart away, looked into the distance with his hands behind his back, with a calm expression.

Since the last time he advanced to the 'Firefly' rank overnight, the lord had wanted to find someone to show off, but Lyra's sudden departure interrupted his interest. Now he finally had another opportunity to perform.

Everyone present was staring at him with fiery eyes, and his desire to perform naturally became extremely active.

Panta couldn't help but feel a lot of relief. Although the Holy Knight was now a complete down-and-out, its former glory had proved its strength. Its decline was only due to various reasons, not because it was weak.

In the 'Radiant Holy Word Codex,' the ranks from low to high are Firefly, Brightstar,皓月, Blazing Sun, and Sanctuary. Sanctuary represents the ultimate of this system, and the 'Blazing Sun' that is second only to it is naturally a force to be reckoned with.

In the era when the Holy Knight was glorious, a Blazing Sun Holy Knight was enough to be called an epic-level powerhouse, able to leave a heavy chapter in history. This centaur leader was not wronged in his defeat.

"What's the problem?" Although somewhat surprised that this lord was actually a Holy Knight of the Holy Light Church, Misha still asked curiously.

As a church that is on par with the Ice and Snow Church, she also knew about the other party's proud holy book.

Therefore, she was naturally very curious about the problem that prevented him from advancing to 'Sanctuary.'

The whistling mountain wind in the forest blew the strands of hair on the figure in front, and the thin back looked so desolate and lonely.

"Haha, the problem is that I don't have the subsequent cultivation methods for the 'Firefly' rank." The lord turned around and laughed, revealing two rows of neat white teeth.

The crowd, who had been looking forward to it, felt like they had eaten a big pile of shit. For a while, the surroundings were so silent that a pin could be heard.

...

After resolving the centaur issue and burying the dead elf, Allen found the other four elves and joined the vanguard.

"Lord, I sincerely apologize to you for my previous rudeness."

Allen, with a gentle face, found Li Wei and expressed his apology.

To be honest, when this human in front of him mistook him for a woman, Allen was indeed very angry in his heart.

But when this lord rescued him without bearing grudges, he felt ashamed of what he had done before.

"In fact, I am half to blame for this matter."

Li Wei waved his hand, signaling Allen not to take it to heart.

Just like last time, as the lord of Highcliff Castle, Baron Debay, the future Overlord of the Wilds, a well-known figure, he was described by Mil as a small soldier next to Tina, which made His Lordship almost choke.

Therefore, he empathized with this.

"Lord, excuse me for being presumptuous, I would like to know what kind of disposition you have for this centaur leader?"

Allen glanced at Gus, who was being treated by both Fugin and Sam not far away, and suddenly asked, his tone full of hatred.

For this centaur who personally killed his partner, he naturally wished he could shoot him to death with an arrow.

The fact that this lord knocked the opponent to the ground in two or three moves was extremely satisfying to Allen, but he did not expect that this lord would suddenly want to save this damn invader again.

He was still wasting the precious magic power of a noble caster to save a half-dead enemy.

This made Allen couldn't help but come to ask.

"Hmm?"

Li Wei instantly understood what this elf was thinking, and suddenly smiled noncommittally.

"Then how do you want to deal with it?"

Those familiar with the lord knew that when the lord's face was not serious, it was okay to joke and call each other brothers, but once an ambiguous smile appeared on his face, if he continued to pester, the consequences would be extremely miserable.

Zart looked at his nose and his nose at his heart, counting the weeds on the ground, for fear of being affected, Sky wanted to remind his elf friend, but was stopped by the lord's look.

"He should be beheaded, and his head should be carried to warn these hateful invaders!"

Allen did not know that the faces of the people around him had changed greatly, and continued to say viciously.

"The method is not bad!" The lord praised with a smile, and then his face suddenly turned cold: "But... are you teaching me how to do things?!"

Originally, Allen was quite excited to hear Li Wei agree with his method, but the last sentence was like a basin of cold water poured from the top of his head in the cold winter, making his face as white as the snow outside the Shadow Forest.

At this moment, the terrifying figure of this human who knocked down a powerhouse of the wilderness in three moves reappeared in his mind.

"Lord..." Sky couldn't help but want to speak, but was pulled by Panta next to him, and shook his head to signal.

"As allies, we are not subordinate to each other. This centaur leader was captured alive by me, and is my trophy. When is it the turn of someone who does not belong to Highcliff Castle to choose how to deal with it?" The lord stated a fact that no one could refute with a blank expression.

"I don't care if he killed your partner, after all, what does it have to do with me?"

"Before that, we had never even met. I, the lord, have at least fought with this centaur a few times."

The warhorse snorted, as if sighing how suddenly it had become so cold.

"What's more, I am the lord of Highcliff Castle, the commander of this vanguard. Do you want to interfere with the military affairs of a legion as an outsider?"

Every time the lord's words fell, Allen's face turned paler, and now his face was as pale as bloodless.

"As someone who has been there, I sincerely remind you, always recognize your position, and don't make such stupid things again, that will make you and your partners suffer."

After saying the last sentence, the lord clamped his horse's belly, and the old horse walked forward extremely intelligently.

The Highcliff Castle guards passed by the distraught elf, and silently followed their boss's footsteps.

The other elves barely broke free from that terrifying aura, and a shadow was cast in their hearts as they looked at the figure in front.

Is this the big man among humans? Every word and deed makes people feel breathless.

Completely different from the peaceful Queen Aisha.

"Lord, are you angry?"

Sky, who comforted Allen, hurriedly drove his horse to the lord's side and asked cautiously.

To be honest, it was the first time he had seen this lord scold someone like a machine gun. Even as a bystander, he felt that the aura was a bit too terrifying, as if the old buddy who had been staying on his neck for decades would disappear in the next second.

"Angry?" Li Wei shook his head and smiled: "It's just to let this elf who lives in a cradle recognize the reality. Now they are being invaded, and we are the reinforcements. If we don't have us, their ending can only be slaughtered by this group of wilderness coalition forces."

"But haven't you noticed? Even so, the pride in the bones of these elves still exists. Just an outsider and an ordinary soldier dare to criticize the decision of a baron and commander."

In fact, the real reason why Li Wei scolded this elf was that this elf named Allen was obviously dissatisfied with his handling of the centaur leader.

As a down-and-out, the current situation is not good, but he does not recognize his position at all.

What does it have to do with Li Wei that this centaur is at odds with him?

Li Wei admitted that he had ideas about that batch of magic crystal mines, but it was not necessary to curry favor with this group of elves.

What's more, guess that this time this elf tribe survived because of Flina's reinforcements, and the army is here. What will Flina do in the face of the heavily damaged elf tribe?

No matter what kind of friendship, it is like a paper tiger in the face of interests, and it will be broken with a poke. This is human nature.

Moreover, the lord had already said that this centaur leader was of great use to him, and everyone else had no objections, but this idiot came out, who would he scold if he didn't scold him?

"Lord, Allen is just... just blinded by hatred."

Sky explained, but it seemed so pale and weak.

Li Wei waved his hand, not wanting to talk about this topic in depth: "Sky, how long will it take to get out of this Shadow Forest?"

"If the route is correct, it will probably take another sunset." Sky replied cautiously.

The Shadow Forest has always been a dark environment, so there is no way to use the weather to judge the current time.

But according to calculations, they have been walking in it for almost half a day.

"I hope we can make it in time." The lord looked into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

He just silently gave the order to make the march faster.

If Flina fell here, the lord would not be able to bear it in terms of emotion and reason.

The two of them were grasshoppers on a rope before they took down the Southern Territory, sharing honor and disgrace.

So no matter what, Li Wei would not let her have an accident here.

But this woman is really a tiger, obviously sending someone is enough, but she has to bring people here to take risks.

Not everyone has his, Lord Li's, strength.

When I meet her, I have to ridicule her to feel relieved!
