Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords

Seeing that the two were chatting, the leading white-robed iron guard, as strong as a bear, coldly drove them away again.

"Li Wei, you can leave!"

He gave Li Wei face only because he didn't want to clash with this powerful knight and cause casualties, not because he was afraid of him.

They were wearing armor and holding long swords, their equipment clearly superior to this knight who was only wearing leather armor. If they really fought, death would be his only way out.

Seeing Li Wei really preparing to leave, Lyria grabbed the corner of his clothes, her face pleading.

Her mother had been captured, and the guards protecting her had been killed. Now, Li Wei was her only lifeline.

She couldn't imagine what fate awaited her if she was captured by these white-robed iron guards who obeyed Penny.

"Heh, so much for being an arena champion. I see you're just a coward."

A subtle mocking voice came, and Li Wei sighed, stopping his departure.

Wasn't it good for him to just leave like this? Why did they have to mock him to show their superiority?

Li Wei hated people who used him as a stepping stone and those who didn't let him use others as stepping stones.

The five white-robed iron guards immediately adopted a defensive posture, pointing the long swords in their hands at Li Wei.

"Li Wei, think about the consequences. You can't afford them."

The leading white-robed iron guard thought Li Wei had changed his mind and rebuked him coldly.

Even Lyria showed a look of hope.

She had heard of this knight's reputation in the arena. If he helped, there might be a chance to escape.

Li Wei said in a deep voice.

"Originally, you wanted to take Miss Lyria away, and that had nothing to do with me."

"But your subordinate insulted me, so that's a different story. Do you know how important honor is to a knight? How can I easily allow someone who isn't even a knight to slander me?"

"What do you want?"

Although he really wanted to say, 'What honor does a knight who abandons his liege lord have?', the leading white-robed iron guard still asked.

"Give me money!"

After a moment.

Weighing the money bag in his hand, Li Wei nodded in satisfaction.

He originally felt there was an opportunity to exploit because of the white-robed iron guard's mockery, so he wanted to extort some money.

After achieving his goal, he prepared to leave.

As for saving Lyria?

Heh, what benefits would he get after saving her? Instead, he would offend a group of nobles.

After all, with the current situation, he could guess the general situation with just a little thought.

It was nothing more than some people couldn't help but take action first because Duke Xilong wanted to make Lyria his heir.

After all, now that the old duke was ill, it was the most suitable time to act.

And obviously, in this war to seize the inheritance, Lyria was at a disadvantage.

How could Li Wei get on this ship that was about to sink?

"Li Wei, if you can protect me and get me out of here, as compensation, I am willing to support your development with three hundred gold coins!"

Lyria was anxious. After discovering that honor and mission could not restrain this pioneering knight, she had to try the last resort - using money to impress him!

In Debe, trying to bribe a knight with money was a desecration of his honor, so Lyria had never thought about this.

But now, with no other choice, she had to try this last method.

"What?" Li Wei's eyes widened immediately.

If you had money, you should have said so earlier!

Three hundred gold coins, that's not a small amount. A set of excellent full-body plate armor costs only a little over a hundred gold coins, and a brave slave warrior costs only twenty gold coins.

Without a doubt, this was a huge sum of money.

Especially for Li Wei, who had just become a pioneering lord, having these three hundred gold coins could greatly reduce the difficulty of his development.

But……

"I refuse!" Li Wei's firm voice sounded.

"Still not possible?"

Lyria felt as if her heart had died, and she wasn't very surprised by this answer.

After all, it was unlikely to bribe a knight with money in the first place.

Her impression of Li Wei changed somewhat. Although this knight was too cunning and thick-skinned, he still had some sense of honor after all.

Li Wei pressed the sword at his waist and added to his tone, "You are the granddaughter of Duke Xilong, the heir to the title, the future queen who will rule the entire Southern Territory, the tulip of the plateau, do you understand how high your value is?"

The next moment, Lyria heard the most righteous and deafening cry in her life:

"It needs to be more expensive!!!"

"One thousand gold coins! As long as you can protect me and get me out of here!"

Lyria took a deep breath, trying to maintain the calm on her face.

"Deal!"

You should know that when Li Wei first became a mercenary three years ago, he dared to rush into a bandit's den alone for fifty silver coins to complete a merchant's mission to rescue his younger brother.

One thousand gold coins?

If he didn't chop this castle into a river of blood, he would feel sorry for this one thousand gold coins!

Li Wei decided to save Lyria because he changed his mind.

His instigation at the banquet was to make Damon and Xilong fight each other like dogs, so they would have no time to care about him.

As a result, he didn't expect Duke Xilong to be so unhelpful, and now it was obvious that Damon's faction had the upper hand.

He had already offended Damon's faction.

Now it was better to support Lyria and send her to the Northern Territory, so that she could attract Damon's attention, while he silently developed on the side.

When Lyria recruited troops and decided to take back the title, he was probably also a lord of one side. At that time, with soldiers and food, he could participate in this battle for the title and get more benefits from it.

This one thousand gold coins was just Lyria's investment to support his development, so that he could help in the future.

"Damn it, kill him!"

Looking at the two people who had suddenly colluded again, the leading white-robed iron guard felt that he had been tricked, and roared angrily.

A white-robed iron guard grinned, twirling the long sword in his hand, and rushed up.

Just a champion in name only, but the captain was so afraid.

"You Western Territory bastard, today I will let you know how powerful Master Foss is!"

Swish!

A silver light flashed, and a long sword pierced extremely cunningly through the gap between the helmet and the armor.

A head still wearing a smile soared into the sky, and then fell to the ground at the same time as the headless body.

"What a great body, it's a pity it has a head."

Li Wei smacked his lips, the exquisite long sword in his hand didn't leave a drop of blood, flashing with a frightening cold light.

He remembered that this kid had mocked him just now, and now it was reasonable to shut him up.

Ding~

"Experience +10"

The remaining three white-robed iron guards were first shocked, and two of them exchanged glances and rushed towards Li Wei at the same time.

Protecting Lyria behind him, Li Wei quickly met them in close combat. He didn't even need any fancy sword moves, just simple strokes, slashes, and picks. With his unparalleled strength bonus, the two white-robed iron guards didn't even have time to react before their bodies were dismembered.

For a time, blood and flesh splattered, and the bloody smell went straight to his mind, leaving only a pile of broken limbs.

The plate armor that gave them confidence was as brittle as a piece of tofu in front of Li Wei.

"A bunch of trash!"

The leading white-robed iron guard was obviously too confident in his strength. Seeing his subordinates being solved like cutting melons and vegetables, he was not afraid at all.

Instead, he cursed angrily, and drew his long sword from his waist with a "clang", preparing to kill Li Wei himself.

Don't say, this white-robed iron guard was at least two blades tall, wearing bulky plate armor and rushing over like a big truck crashing head-on.

No wonder he was so confident.

His burly body knocked away the last white-robed iron guard who was blocking in front, trembling and daring not to attack, and rushed over.

Unfortunately, it was just a flashy appearance after all. Li Wei just slashed upwards with his sword and easily cut off the sword he was blocking.

Before he could react, Li Wei exerted force with one hand, turning the mithril long sword that did not reduce its momentum in the air, and slashed downwards fiercely.

Sizzle~
