Lord: Start with the Pioneer Knight

"Welcome, Lord Weilin." A 1.7-meter-tall ice elf bowed and saluted, then made a gesture of invitation, motioning Weilin to get on the carriage.

Weilin took a look at the carriage made of ice, turned his head and said to Kyle: "Wait here first."

"Yes, my lord."

Kyle turned over and got off the horse, walked forward to hold Weilin's mount, and then went to the rest post set up not far away.

After Kyle left, Weilin boarded the ice carriage. There were chairs on both sides and a finely carved table in the middle, with a fruit plate on the table.

He grabbed a fruit of unknown variety and sat down on a chair nearby.

Then, the ice elf followed him into the ice carriage and closed the door of the carriage.

As the ice element pulling the carriage, it received the instructions of the ice elf, put a shield on the carriage, and pulled the carriage to the ice castle.

Inside the car, Weilin looked out the window. It was a land of ice and snow, with few vegetation and bare land everywhere, without any signs of life.

"My lord, please."

The ice elf suddenly held a teapot and poured a cup of tea for Weilin, then stepped aside and continued to stand, waiting for his next instructions.

"How is Ms. Xia doing recently?"

Looking at the vast expanse of white, Weilin retracted his gaze, took a sip of the unknown fruit tea, and turned to ask the ice elf.

"My lord, the master's situation is not something that a humble servant can understand." The ice elf bowed slightly and answered in a humble tone.

Without the answer he wanted, Weilin was tactful and did not ask any more questions.

The ice carriage was very fast. In less than ten minutes, it had arrived at the ice castle on the top of the hill.

"My lord, the ice castle is here."

The ice elf opened the door and motioned Weilin to get off.

Wearing his weapon, Weilin got out of the car and looked at the exquisite fortress. There were patrolling ice elements around. Each of them was very powerful, at least he couldn't tell what level they were with his strength.

"Lord Weilin, welcome to your arrival. I am the master's maid. I will lead the way for you next." An ice elf in a maid outfit appeared in front of him, bowed and saluted, and said respectfully.

"Yes."

Weilin nodded and followed the ice elf maid into the ice castle.

There were various soldier statues displayed on the side of the road, but I didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

Crossing the long road, we came to the front of the hall.

The ice elf maid gently pushed open the door, stood aside, put her hands in front of her abdomen, and leaned forward slightly: "Please come in."

Weilin didn't say anything polite and went straight into the room. He found that Ms. Xia was sitting on the ice throne and waiting quietly.

"Madam, good afternoon."

"Weilin, welcome to your arrival." Anastasia stood up, walked down the throne, came to Weilin, and said in a gentle tone.

"Madam, I came here mainly to apologize for my subordinates' recklessness."

"I already know about this." Anastasia waved her hand casually, creating a set of ice chairs and motioning Weilin to sit down. "You can cultivate and use ordinary plants that evolve into magical plants at will."

"Thank you for your understanding, Madam." Weilin sat on the ice chair and replied respectfully.

"This time, I came here for another important matter that needs to be troubled, Madam."

"Please speak."

Then, Weilin told the story of the Famine Cult launching the Famine Sacrifice one by one.

Anastasia was silent after listening.

"Is there a specific location?"

Weilin shook his head after listening. He didn't know where the Famine Cult would launch the Famine Sacrifice.

After all, launching an evil god sacrifice, at least tens of thousands of people were sacrificed.

For a phenomenon like this that affects one-third of a kingdom, at least hundreds of thousands of lives were sacrificed.

"If there is no specific location, it will be very troublesome. I have three guesses about this."

"Please speak." Weilin sat up straight and listened attentively.

Then, Anastasia slowly spoke.

"First, someone in your kingdom colluded with the Famine Cult to cover up the monitoring of church personnel."

"Second, through the demiplane, the number of sacrificed lives is reached and the sacrifice is completed, but this method requires the collapse of the demiplane of the holder, which is very costly."

"Third, the enemy country invades your kingdom and completes a large-scale sacrifice at the cost of the lives of its own soldiers."

"Madam, is the last one feasible?"

The first two were fine, both reasonable, but the last one surprised him.

As soon as Weilin finished speaking, Anastasia shook her head and said, "The third one, I have seen it in my hometown, it is about a demon sacrifice... In short, it is best to nip the danger in the bud. If not, I can also protect the safety of your territory."

"Madam, I remember."

Feeling the sadness in the other party's tone, Weilin did not ask questions.

After having lunch together, Weilin declined Anastasia's retention and set off on his way home.

After meeting Kyle at the border, Weilin turned to the newly developed area to see Orlando's achievements in the past three months.

...

In the newly developed area, Orlando had just cleared a group of dog-headed people who had fled here, and was resting at the outpost farthest from the development town.

"Sir, this time we killed a total of 62 dog-headed people, of which 6 teeth that can be used as proof of merit have been cut off and preserved. In addition, we collected 45 sets of dog-headed people's teeth, six iron maces, 236 kilograms of food, and 134 silver coins.

Finally, as per your instructions, all meat and kobold corpses have been burned. "

Orlando took a sip of water and asked his subordinates: "What are the casualties?"

"There are no casualties in our knights. Three infantrymen from the two squadrons accompanying the army were slightly injured." The high-level knight apprentice wearing iron armor reported with great honor.

"You did a good job this time, but you still have to work hard." Orlando stood up, patted his subordinate on the shoulder, and encouraged him.

The senior knight apprentice beat his chest and swore to Orlando: "For the Lord, we are willing to sacrifice everything."

"kindness."

Although he is only fourteen years old and will turn fifteen next month, Orlando is already qualified to stand alone.

"Sir Orlando, this is a letter from our lord." A high-level knight apprentice with an ice bear tattooed on his breastplate came to Orlando, beat his chest in salute, and then presented the letter with both hands.

Orlando received the letter sent by his brother Hebrew and opened it directly to check it.

"Brother, something bad is going on. The Lord is back and will be here to inspect today. Come back soon."

Looking at the awkward handwriting on it, Orlando covered his head and said, "This kid, let him practice his calligraphy well."

"Sir, what happened?" The knight on the side asked with concern when he saw his captain covering his forehead.

"It's okay, let the knights clean up and prepare to return to the pioneer town."

"In addition, order Knight Randolph to stay with the infantry of these two squadrons and conduct a search of the surrounding area to prevent any fish from slipping through the net."

"Yes, my lord." The knight left quickly to convey Orlando's order.
