Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords

This was what Li Wei wanted to figure out.

After all, what era was this? If these Fede remnants still hadn't recognized reality and still saw themselves as royalty, Li Wei wouldn't mind helping them recognize reality.

"Actually, we're no different from the wildlings in the Kas Mountains anymore."

Bai Ruisi Tina gave a wry smile.

To ensure her people successfully found a backer, she could only shamelessly embellish herself a little.

Even bringing news of this wilderness coalition army was one of her pledges of allegiance.

"Understood."

Li Wei understood why Bai Ruisi Tina had deliberately given herself the title of Princess of the Fede Kingdom earlier. It was nothing more than increasing her value in the hopes of getting decent treatment.

Just like how he named his current territory Highcliff Castle.

Never mind if there's a cliff or a castle, at least the name is out there.

In the future, there might be people who come to Highcliff Castle because of its reputation, even if they find it's different from the rumors.

But with the thought of 'since I'm already here,' they probably won't leave directly.

Merchants in his previous life knew this well. A broken stone that looked like glass was labeled as a symbol of eternal love and dared to be sold for tens of thousands.

They could clearly just rob you, but they insist on giving you a broken stone.

"Tina, how long do you think it will take for this wilderness coalition army to organize and reach Highcliff Castle?"

"Lord, my name is Bai Ruisi Tina," Bai Ruisi Tina weakly reminded the lord.

"Okay, Tina," Li Wei nodded, indicating that he understood.

He never liked these long and smelly names. As a pure Chinese person in his previous life, he couldn't remember these Western names at all.

So he simplified them on his own initiative.

Seeing that she couldn't change the lord's mind, Bai Ruisi Tina sighed almost imperceptibly before seriously thinking about her answer.

"It won't be fast. These wilderness natives have always been the type to only take advantage and never suffer losses. Just who will lead this coalition army will take them ten days of arguing."

"They are indeed a ragtag bunch, not even as good as bandits and robbers, but Highcliff Castle won't relax its vigilance because of underestimating the enemy. Now that we know they're coming, starting tomorrow, let Hogg and the others work harder, dividing into two shifts to patrol the north day and night."

Li Wei wiped his mouth and said.

Only now did the role of the gnoll scouts become apparent. With mounts, they could completely control everything within fifty miles of Highcliff Castle.

Even their naturally sensitive noses, with a favorable wind, could allow them to discover the enemy's tracks from ten miles away and provide timely information to Highcliff Castle.

Keeping the enemy's actions within fifty miles, giving Highcliff Castle plenty of preparation time.

And constantly knowing their whereabouts.

If it were two-legged barbarians as scouts and patrolmen, the distance they could control would only be five miles.

Which means they would probably have to wait until the main force was under the city before the barbarians could discover them.

Since ancient times, large-scale wars have been about information asymmetry, so Li Wei highly valued the gnoll scout cavalry who collected intelligence.

For this reason, he would often teach Hogg about this knowledge when he had time.

...

"Hahaha..."

Thinking of something, Li Wei suddenly laughed three times.

Zha Te was choked by his boss's sudden madness, rolling his eyes, and finally took a big gulp of water to recover.

Bai Ruisi Tina was also startled, and weakly asked:

"Lord, why are you laughing?"

"I laugh at that..."

Realizing he was getting off track, Li Wei coughed twice and changed the subject.

"Cough cough, to be honest, I was worried that they were too scattered and it would be too troublesome to clean them up one by one. I didn't expect them to dare to get together, just right to wipe them all out!"

Li Wei made a gesture of opening his palms and then clenching them, feeling proud.

"By the way, Tina, do you only have these ten or so warriors?"

Li Wei asked.

The Fede remnants have lived in the Kas Mountains for so many years. Li Wei didn't believe there were only this many people left.

"Because too many people would slow us down, we came ahead first. There are seventy or so warriors behind, and they should arrive tomorrow."

"Then what about your women and children? It's impossible that you only have warriors left, right?"

Li Wei continued to ask.

He eagerly wanted to know how many people were in Bai Ruisi Tina's branch of Fede remnants.

If there were tens of thousands, he would make a big profit.

"Them?" Bai Ruisi Tina blinked her eyes, her sapphire eyes looking so innocent, "Because there are too many people, and we have to drive livestock and move supplies, so the speed is very slow. It will probably take several days to arrive."

Looking at this little girl's innocent face, Li Wei instantly understood everything. This girl was hedging risks.

If he didn't accept these Fede remnants, even if there was a conflict between the two sides, they would basically be warriors, and even if they ran away, they wouldn't lose much.

Plus, the wilderness coalition army was coming soon. If he could successfully defeat them, the Fede remnants would naturally join Highcliff Castle.

If the wilderness coalition army defeated him, Bai Ruisi Tina and the others would at most lose a few warriors and could go find the next family.

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, this little girl doesn't look old and has a naive face, but she's actually as cunning as a monkey, a slippery one.

Who is more stupid than whom these days?

If you accidentally believe the appearance, you will suffer a big loss.

"Okay, remember to notify each other at that time to avoid misunderstandings." Li Wei couldn't blame them for this little thought.

After all, they at least brought nearly a hundred warriors to risk their lives for him and resist the wilderness coalition army.

If they were really just verbally loyal to him, playing both sides, and only betting after he succeeded, then he couldn't stand it.

The meeting ended perfectly. Both sides were very satisfied with the conversation. Bai Ruisi Tina and the others also successfully settled in Highcliff Castle temporarily.

Fortunately, Li Wei had long anticipated that the population of Highcliff Castle would increase in the future, so many extra wooden houses were built.

Although the appearance of these wooden houses was indescribable, it was no problem to live in them.

Bai Ruisi Tina said that there were carpenters in their tribe who were proficient in construction and could serve as commanders of construction, which made Li Wei a little surprised.

Highcliff Castle really lacks these talents now.

In a very good mood, Li Wei couldn't help but open the team and check Bai Ruisi Tina's situation.

What he didn't expect was that Bai Ruisi Tina was actually a hero unit. Even Leah wasn't.

However, the two were indeed not comparable. Bai Ruisi Tina was the patriarch of a tribe at such a young age, and judging from the performance of those Fede remnants, her prestige was extremely high.

It was conceivable that it was impossible to do this without any special talent.

The only thing worth mentioning about Leah was that she was the granddaughter of a grand duke with inheritance rights, and she was a little smarter.

Other talents seem to be basically possessed by any noble daughter.
