Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords

To celebrate the departure of the Motuo people, Highcliff Keep held a grand bonfire party after nightfall.

This place was, of course, just a remote spot in the vast wilderness, with only a crescent moon overhead illuminating the land, and no other settlements within fifty miles of Highcliff Keep.

However, with the current large population of Highcliff Keep, it had gained a sense of vibrancy, allowing it to have a lively celebration.

Whole jungle deer, hunted by the warriors of Highcliff Keep during the day, were placed on the grill, with drops of oil dripping from the orange-red flames.

The wine sent by Miriel was also uncorked one after another, poured into the huge stomachs of the orcs.

When Li Wei was grilling the meat, he used his own chili powder, which, combined with the crispy and tender grilled meat, was barely accepted by those who had never eaten spicy food, like Bai Ruisi Tina.

To express their gratitude for Highcliff Keep accepting them as its people, the Fedes called dozens of fair-faced young women from their clan to dance the most famous Tata dance of the former Fede Kingdom by the central bonfire.

Dozens of girls held hands, kicking their white legs like butterflies flitting through flowers, captivating everyone's attention.

A melodious and graceful folk song emerged from the girls' clear voices, like larks, immersing people in this peaceful moment.

Even the rough and burly orcs slowed down their movements, savoring the moment.

When the girls shyly bowed with their hands on their chests to end the performance, the lord took the lead in applauding with thunderous enthusiasm.

"Whenever we celebrate the Spring Equinox, the Fedes put down all their work on this day and gather around the bonfire to dance this dance that has been passed down for hundreds of years."

Bai Ruisi Tina's eyes showed a nostalgic look, her face full of longing.

"Li Wei, do you know that on this day, girls will express their love to their beloved."

In this world, the four seasons are governed by four goddesses, and the Fede Kingdom used to believe in the Goddess of Life, who was in charge of spring, so they attached great importance to the first day of spring, regarding it as the most important festival of the year, which was also given the meaning of the revival of all things and a new beginning.

Li Wei, who had lived in this place for three years, could be regarded as half an otherworldly person, and naturally understood this.

"By the way, how did the Fede Kingdom fall?" As a straight man, Li Wei was more curious about how a huge kingdom could collapse in an instant.

The fall of the Fede Kingdom was so decisive and easy that it even felt unreal, as if the towering mountain that had stood before them in the previous second had silently turned into flat ground in the next.

"According to the ancestors, the Debei royal family suddenly led the Griffin Knights to attack the royal city, and the king was also betrayed by his most trusted guard knight, which led to the paralysis of the Fede Kingdom's command center, and then the usurpers defeated them one by one." Bai Ruisi Tina recalled, and then added, "These are actually passed down by word of mouth, and I don't know if they are true."

Her tone was very calm, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

After all, this was an old history from hundreds of years ago, and even the deepest hatred would gradually wear away under the great power of time.

"I know a little about this. The betraying knight was later called the 'Kingslayer'. He thought he could use this to rise to a high position, but in reality, no ruler would reuse a villain who used loyalty as a bargaining chip."

The Skai knight sent by Bai Liucheng didn't know when he slipped over and interjected.

"Hehe, he was the first person to corrupt the spirit of chivalry. This kind of person is not worthy of being a knight!" He added with a disdainful expression at the end.

Originally, Skai should have stayed with the mercenaries of the caravan, but the mysterious color of the lord of Highcliff Keep was too strong, making him unable to resist wanting to learn more about it.

Thinking of what he had done to the feudal lord Liya before, Li Wei subconsciously touched his nose to cover up his embarrassment.

It seems that this Skai knight is a person who strictly adheres to the spirit of chivalry, the lord thought secretly.

"What happened later?" Miriel also joined the conversation, holding a glass of heated wine in her hand.

Under the light of the fire, her attractive curves were revealed without a doubt.

Beer, night, bonfire, barbecue, onlookers, and elements of bragging and chatting were all gathered.

"Later... although the power holders would not reuse a Kingslayer, they would not be stingy with his reward. In the end, he was granted a relatively fertile knight's territory, and died depressed in his own manor."

Skai said while shaking his head, the expression on his face was unclear, but more of it should be sighing.

"At that time, no one could understand why he would betray. This knight had always had an excellent reputation before his death, otherwise he would not have been named the Kingdom Knight Commander by the King of Fede, and owned a territory that even the earls were ashamed of."

Skai drank a large glass of wine: "But his betrayal only exchanged for some money and maids, and a territory that was rich but countless times smaller, hehe..."

"Maybe this king was actually the knight's enemy. The boy whose family was destroyed by the king worked hard for many years to climb to a high position, and when he saw the opportunity for revenge, he naturally did not hesitate to act."

"Later, he killed his enemy, and there was no meaning to live, so he naturally died depressed."

"What an inspirational story."

Li Wei guessed with an open mind.

"Lord Li, you must have read too many folk knight novels." Miriel rubbed her forehead and couldn't help but complain.

"Hahaha, just guessing, just guessing." The lord laughed, and finally emphasized again, fearing that everyone would not believe it, "Anyway, I don't read this kind of corrupt novels, who would read it if they are normal people?"

Everyone looked at the lord with suspicion.

Lord Li was a little exasperated and said fiercely: "Believe it or not!"

This bonfire party lasted until late at night before the excited people gradually became tired. Li Wei's cheeks were flushed, and all the orcs who tried to compete with him in drinking were defeated by him. One by one, they were all carried back.

You know, in his previous life, in order to deal with Party A, Li Wei drank a lot, and was known as the Little White Dragon in the wine. Even if he swam around in a wine vat, he would not get drunk.

Not to mention that his physique is already inhuman now, and he won't get drunk even if he drinks it as water.

Among them, Miriel even had the idea of getting him drunk and getting more information out of him, but she ended up getting drunk and spitting everything out. Fearing that she would spit out something that could not be reviewed, the lord quickly arranged for several maids to send her to the guest room of Highcliff Keep for temporary accommodation.

Anyway, from then on, Lord Li became famous in one battle, and he defeated the entire Highcliff Keep by himself. This record is enough for him to brag about for a lifetime.

"There are two Li Wei, hehehe..."

After solving the others, only Bai Ruisi Tina was left, still giggling and hugging her legs.

The lord was a little helpless.

"I'm telling you..."
