Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords

The seven or eight six-armed snake demons were like wolves entering a flock of sheep, instantly disrupting the infantry's formation, and the shield formation, which was originally advancing in an orderly manner, was brought to a standstill.

These warriors were not just reckless men of brute force; each of them was a born weapon master, enough to look down upon these small-time soldiers in front of them.

With six arms, they were like a closely coordinated three-person team, with two shields enough to defend against most attacks, and the spears and longswords in their hands provided both long-range and close-range capabilities.

They could be called mobile war machines.

The commanders in the distance knew that if they were to rely on ordinary soldiers to kill these six-armed snake demon warriors, they would only be able to do so by piling up corpses, and now that they had victory within their grasp, there was no need to add unnecessary casualties.

Under the orders, the infantrymen, relieved to receive the order not to fight head-on, began to change their formation, surrounding the six-armed snake demons with long spears, no longer fighting them directly, but restricting their range of movement.

The six-armed snake demon warriors' gazes swept across the field, filled with brutality, ferocity, and bloodlust, their height reaching more than three blades, looking down upon these short humans in front of them.

They raised their heads and let out a huge howl, about to launch a new round of slaughter, but the bloodthirsty expression suddenly froze.

A dense rain of arrows was coming from the sky towards this open space, the ear-piercing sound of the arrows cutting through the air was incessant, enough to make one's scalp tingle.

Crows soared in the sky, making mournful cries, as if regretting the fall of heroic figures.

The six-armed snake demon warriors were completely unable to withstand this number of arrows, their bodies filled with feathers, but their vitality was truly tenacious enough that they staggered forward a few steps with the arrows in their bodies before faltering, swaying, and falling to the grass, blood flowing from their bodies, gathering into a small stream on the ground.

"It's over," Li Wei said, putting down his binoculars, these six-armed snake demons were stronger than he had imagined.

The reason he thought they were pitifully weak before was only because, relative to him, they didn't even have the chance to show their strength before being cut down by his sword.

It was not until now, when they crashed into the crowd, that their own bravery was perfectly demonstrated.

Li Wei thought of what Fadier said, that the number of these six-armed snake demons in the White Bone Fortress was already large enough to form two or three ten-thousand-strong legions, no wonder Damon would suffer a defeat here, leading to a complete loss.

Most importantly, they could continue to replenish their forces with the support of the abyss, either killing them faster than they could be reinforced, or closing the spatial通道, otherwise, once the time was prolonged, it would only become more and more unfavorable to them.

To be honest, if the demons also had large-scale armaments, then this war would probably not be able to end as easily as it is now.

Unfortunately, the battlefield is the battlefield, and there is no such thing as 'if'.

Soon, the cavalry distributed on the flanks began to charge, strangling the remaining scattered demons, determined to leave none alive.

They were different from the races of the Middle Ages continent, and there was no need to worry about moral issues at all, leaving even one would be disrespectful to the gods they believed in and irresponsible to the barefoot farmers in the countryside of Derby.

Finally, the demon corpses were collected in a large pit and began to be collectively burned, Derby had already begun to warm up, and if these corpses were not properly disposed of, it might trigger a devastating plague.

Anyone with a little conscience could not sit idly by and watch this happen.

After everything was taken care of, the army did not stop to comfort the fatigue after the battle, but continued to set off towards the White Bone Fortress.

This demon team ambushed on the isolated peak, plus the escaped Holy Knights' corroboration, made the Northern Territory nobles more and more aware of the seriousness of the matter.

So it was another round of sunset and sunrise, and finally the army stopped on a plateau, with a small stream next to it, and occupying the high ground here, it was obviously a very good camping location.

It was only a dozen miles away from the White Bone Fortress, and standing on the high ground, one could vaguely see the outline of a huge castle in the distance.

Any commander who was not a wine bag and rice sack would not turn a blind eye to this place.

Countless scouts began to return to the two places, and the two sides unexpectedly launched some small-scale collisions, but obviously the Northern Territory had the upper hand, thus bringing a lot of important information.

"I probably haven't seen so many people in my previous life." The lord stood on a boulder on the high slope, holding binoculars and looking at the White Bone Fortress in the distance, only feeling that his trypophobia was acting up.

The White Bone Fortress was a fortress built on a mountain, although the city wall was not as good as Corwyn, it was also eighteen blades high, at this time the forest in front was full of dense bonfires, just like the acne pits on a person's face, making people feel uncomfortable.

These bonfires were surrounded by a group of demons, either sleeping on the ground, or jumping around the bonfires to celebrate, none of them had a decent camp at all.

Like a group of Sihanouks from the Far West Abandoned Continent, these black-skinned savages were still stuck in the age of hunting, their clothes were animal skins, their weapons were stone tools, and they were still far from slash-and-burn cultivation.

You know, even the orcs in the wilderness know how to graze, so it can be seen that the other party's civilization is low.

Although these demons did not have any camps at all, the number of people was really large, almost covering the forest outside the White Bone Fortress, as if putting a red carpet on the earth.

"Lord Li Wei, in fact, the demons here are just a corner of the tablecloth." Since Bodov was rescued, he has been eating and drinking at High Cliff Fort, he does not have any worries, "The demons guarding that spatial通道 are really as numerous as hairs, and the ground is full of them."

"Actually, I'm very curious about a question." Li Wei threw the binoculars to Mill, who had been eagerly waiting next to him, and then asked something that everyone present had not thought of for the time being: "These demons are so numerous, just the daily logistical consumption is an astonishing number, the vicinity of the White Bone Fortress is all uninhabited wilderness, there are no villages for them to plunder, how do they maintain their consumption?"

"According to Lord Damon, the mountain lizardmen in that group of mountains were the first to be attacked by the demons, and even now, even if they have not been wiped out, there are only some old, young, women and children migrating to the depths of the mountains."

"These lizardmen are enough for them to maintain for a period of time, and afterwards it is the corpses of their dead comrades, or directly eating those low-status demons." Bodov took off his mage's pointed hat, now the Southern Territory has gradually begun to heat up, he has not practiced any magic related to ice and snow, so facing the hot sun can only choose to endure.

"The lizardmen who have plagued the Southern Territory for a hundred years have been solved so easily, if the old Duke knew, he might be happy enough to jump out of his coffin." Li Wei told a cold joke, but no one present laughed.

"Thank you." Bodov took a piece of bright red watermelon handed over by Mill, thanked him, and then continued, "Anyway, in general, eating grass, eating plant roots, eating corpses, and if worse comes to worst, high-level demons eat low-level demons, no matter what, it is impossible to starve to death."

"This life is really rough." Li Wei took a big bite of the watermelon, and the cold juice immediately filled his entire mouth, making him feel satisfied.

When he went south, it was still a world of ice and snow, and everyone was wrapped in thick cotton clothes, but he didn't expect that he could eat cold and refreshing watermelon now.

If any legion in Derby lived the same life as the demons, I am afraid that one of them would have already put down their weapons and let their lord go to the front line to fight alone.

Don't look at the fact that the warriors of High Cliff Fort don't have such a thing as military expenses, but the lord is responsible for food and accommodation, and takes care of all the food, drink, housing and transportation.

This kind of expense is even no different from paying military expenses.

This is also part of the reason why everyone in High Cliff Fort does not care about whether military expenses are paid or not.

Among them, the important reason why they regard the lord as a god does not need to be elaborated.

"I didn't expect that at this time, Lord, you still have the leisure to talk and laugh here." Fujero didn't know where he came from, looking at the people of High Cliff Fort who had not changed from before and were still talking and laughing, he admired them to death, and stretched out his hand: "Mill, please give me a piece."

You must know that when they came here and personally saw the demons' huge army, the Northern Territory collectively caused a great uproar.

This comparison made it clear who was superior and who was inferior.

"Tch, does being worried make these demons disappear?" The lord hummed twice, although his heart was also very shocked, but now in front of outsiders, he could not help but put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "I always believe that fate is in our own hands, these demons are already grasshoppers after autumn, this battle, our Derby will definitely win!"

"Awesome!" Fujero sincerely gave a thumbs up.

If this was said by other people, it would look like bragging no matter how you look at it, but when it was said by this lord, it made people feel convinced.

Li Wei modestly waved his hand, and then asked: "What did Duchess Flinna say? Are we going to fight or not?"

Unlike going south, now he represents Leah and High Cliff Fort to solve these demons, and does not belong to Flinna's command, and can make his own decisions on some things.

But when it comes to this kind of large-scale battle, it is almost always decided by the other party.

After all, the most taboo thing in war is having two voices, and the decision-making power is not unified.

"The reason I came here is related to this." Fujero threw the watermelon peel casually down the hillside, and wiped his mouth with his sleeve: "Duchess Flinna decided to wait for the arrival of reinforcements before launching an attack, and to focus on defense during the waiting period."

"When will the reinforcements arrive?" Li Wei began to calculate how to arrange things during this time.

"Only one day later than us, it is estimated that they will arrive tomorrow night." Fujero looked at the sky: "I heard that the Griffin Knights and the Lionheart Vanguard Red Swordsmen will arrive first."

"During this time, Lord, you can just prepare."

……

A day is really short, and even the basic defense facilities on the periphery of the army have just been set up, and a day is gone.

When the next morning came, a strange wind came from the north, blowing the black wheat grass that was over the ankles like wheat waves.

Thousands of Griffin Knights came from the horizon and finally came to the sky above the camp.

With them came the well-known Lionheart Vanguard Red Swordsmen.

They arrived faster than expected, but it was also expected.

The other party completely abandoned logistics and traveled at full speed, and still flew, if it was not because the message was delayed for some time, I am afraid that they would have reached the White Bone Fortress earlier than the Northern Territory Legion.

The lord had already seen the Griffin Knights, and there was nothing to be curious about, his eyes fell on the great swordsmen who came together riding the griffins.

This group of strong men who were two and two blades tall, all wearing dark blue breastplates, two arms as thick as marble pillars exposed outside, arms folded, with the arrogance of being the best in the world on their faces, as if exuding the magical effect of scaring away beggars.

The most noteworthy thing is that they all carry a two-handed greatsword that is taller than their heads on their backs, which looks very bluffing.

After all, being able to use a two-handed greatsword proves that their strength is definitely not weak.

Not to mention anything else, the momentum of this top-notch strong army is fully reflected.

Wherever their eyes swept, the Northern Territory soldiers instantly dodged and avoided the other party's sharp eyes like knives.

When they looked at other people, other people were also looking at them.

Whenever their eyes met, the orc warriors just scratched their butts, and looked at them with great interest as if they had seen something rare.

The centaurs folded their arms, drooping their eyelids, but their eyes wandered on the other party's head and neck, thinking about how many arrows could pierce the other party's neck at this distance.

This made this group of great swordsmen who had always been proud feel uncomfortable, since their debut, whoever saw them had to lower their heads, for fear of being targeted by them, and now it was the first time in history that they encountered people who looked at them.

This was different from the knights who had always braced themselves to look at each other, but were strong on the outside and weak on the inside, they could see curiosity in the eyes of these orcs and centaurs, it was the kind of look that went to see monkeys dancing in cages.

Just when the lord thought that these great swordsmen were going to say "What are you looking at", he didn't expect the other party to retreat and turn his head to avoid eye contact.

This was not fear, but shyness.

The straight eyes of this group of barbarians were like country bumpkins seeing a prostitute dressed up for the first time.

No one could stand this kind of eyes.

On the other hand, the orc barbarians, they did not understand shyness, their faces were as thick as someone's, and they just scratched their nostrils and asked curiously:

"Boss, why are these swordsmen so girly."

"Because you are handsome, anyone who is stared at by a handsome guy will shyly avoid their eyes." Li Wei rolled his eyes, holding a handful of melon seeds in his hand, and cracking them boredly.

"Hehe, really?" The barbarians touched their faces, and bulged their huge biceps again, showing off their burly bodies with various movements, feeling good about themselves.

"Bullshit, it's you guys who have the eyes of country bumpkins looking at gold nuggets, and as a result, your faces are so thick that the other party can't stand it first!"

Li Wei helplessly stroked his forehead, and completely understood how thick their faces were.
