Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 173 Broken teeth may grow back, but courage will not

Just as this human said, it was originally temporarily combined with Gus and Layton for the sake of the Original Blood Crystal, and there was no friendship between them at all.

There is really no need to suffer for them.

As for the cowardly act of betraying friendly forces?
Tikli would rather be called a coward than be humiliated by a group of goblins and harpies!

As long as you are alive, everything has a chance.

This is what it has always believed in.

Although Levi was surprised that this guy surrendered so quickly without even using any tricks, he had no intention of humiliating it.

After all, being able to surrender is already beneficial to him, and there is really no need to vent his anger and leave a thorn in his heart.

"Name?" Levi asked.

"Tikli."

The pig-headed leader glanced at the orcs who were swarming around him and answered honestly.

"Tell me, why did you go south this time?" Levi wiped the holy sword in his hand with a handkerchief. This mithril sword emitted a unique glow under the moonlight.

"Don't even mention it's for looting. If you're just talking about such meaningless things... hehe..." The lord sneered twice. He didn't say the last words, but the meaning was obvious.

"A dark elf found us and offered us the Primordial Blood Crystal as a reward. He asked us to go south to attract the attention of the Duke of the Northern Territory of Debe and cut off your connection with the depths of the wilderness."

Since he had decided to surrender, Tikli had nothing to hide and told it all out.

Although he felt sad as if some things were gone and could never be returned, when he decided to surrender, betraying his allies seemed easy enough.

"Ah, really a drow?!"

Maisha, who had walked behind the lord at some point, exclaimed with a look of disbelief on her face.

The lord also frowned.

After all, what we had before was just speculation, so we were still hopeful. But now that it has been confirmed, we can’t help but feel worried.

"What is the original blood crystal?"

The Lord turned and asked.

After all, this group of powerful races can get together and dare to go south to fight against a duke. You can imagine how valuable this primordial blood crystal is, which makes them choose to take such a risk.

"I know!" Maisha raised her hand and said,
"It is said that the original blood crystal is made by alchemists using an extremely rare magic crystal and some magic materials. It will purify the blood of the user and give them a chance to gain the special power of their ancestors hidden deep in their blood. It will also give their descendants the chance to inherit this special power."

After finishing her words, Maisha added: "But the alchemists who could forge such magical items have long disappeared in the long river of history. How could such things still exist now?"

"Even the drow have shown up, so what else is impossible?"

The lord felt that even if a bunch of White Walkers appeared in the wilderness at this time, he would not be surprised.

Maisha sighed and did not refute.

However, Levi was indeed surprised by the Original Blood Crystal.

In this world, bloodline is something that can bring real benefits to oneself.

For example, those dragon species that contain the blood of giant dragons are often more outstanding and powerful than their own kind.

But as we all know, generally speaking, if you want to have a powerful bloodline, you either have to bathe in the blood of a special creature, such as dragon blood, so that the blood of the two can be combined.

Or if they give birth to offspring with powerful creatures, their offspring may inherit the powerful abilities of the other party. Secondly, if they are promoted to legendary masters, they will also undergo a qualitative change, and their offspring will inherit powerful bloodlines.

But these are not permanent. As time goes by, if no one in the next generation can be promoted to a legendary level again, the concentration of the bloodline will become lower and lower until it becomes thin to nothing.

However, this so-called original blood crystal can allow people to awaken the bloodline of their ancestors, which is indeed extraordinary.

After all, count them up.

The people who are still alive now may have ancestors going back eighteen generations, and they may all be descendants of legendary powerful men.

After all, thousands of years ago, although legendary strongmen were rare, there were actually many of them in the entire medieval continent.

If you can awaken the bloodline of a legendary strong man, it would be a huge profit.

"Why does this dark elf ask you to attract the attention of the Duke of the North?" the lord continued to ask.

Except for the primordial blood crystal, all the things Tikli said before were guesses he had made long ago, but they have only been confirmed now.

What really matters is what these drow are trying to achieve.

"My Lord, I don't know the real purpose of this group of dark elves. They just sent people to contact the leaders of various tribes and offered us Primordial Blood Crystal as a reward to let us go south."

Tikli replied truthfully.

After taking a deep look at the pig-headed leader and finding that he had an honest face, Levi snapped his fingers and said, "Very good, your honesty has earned you a chance to survive. You are a smart man."

"Next, you should prepare to go to Highcliff Castle to start your new hard labor life."

"My Lord..." Tikli wanted to say that he wanted to fight as a warrior, but when the words came to his lips, he said dejectedly, "Yes."

With a wave of his hand, several orc guards dragged it away and put it aside.

"Sir, do you trust it so much? What if it takes the opportunity to escape?" Maisha said with some concern.

As a clergyman, she is always kind-hearted, but this definitely does not include these aliens.

Although she was not familiar with military affairs, Maisha also knew that after asking such questions, they should be killed completely to prevent future troubles.

"Broken teeth may grow back, but courage never will." The lord patted his butt and stood up from the stone.

But there is another deeper meaning that Levi did not say. To him, this pig-headed man is a completely insignificant little character. Even if he is not killed, he will not pose any threat to him.

If he keeps it, he can also promote his reputation of keeping his promises and treating prisoners well.

If he captures someone again in the future, with this experience as a lesson, the captive will not be afraid that after he has questioned him, he will kill the person just because he is worthless.

Maybe they will actively answer questions, saving you a lot of effort.
"The real purpose of these drow elves is probably the reason why Flinna left."

Coming to the catapult, Levi stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the battlefield in the distance where there were shadowy figures, and he had some guesses in his mind.

He has gradually cleared up the fog, and now it depends on what kind of explanation Fujiro will give him.

"This is?!"

While watching the battlefield, the lord was suddenly startled by the bright battlefield.

It was originally just a battlefield with torches shooting up into the sky, but suddenly a flash of lightning pierced through the sky and shot from afar, illuminating the entire battlefield with a blue light.

Levi quickly took out his telescope and looked...
