Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 177: The Harpy's Sweet Spot
A few wooden boards were nailed to the broken wooden door with iron nails, barely resisting the cold wind from the north.

The lord who was the culprit crossed his legs and sat on the chair, looking at the commander of the Thorn Legion who was leading the group: "Fujieluo, I have given you enough time. I hope that your so-called explanation will satisfy me."

In the conference hall, there was only one knight, Sikai, and no one else.

Even Panda and the priests were excluded from the discussion on where Florina had gone.

"Sir, in fact, I have been busy all night and only now have time to come out."

Fujiro spread his hands, looking calm.

"Maybe." Levi laughed twice with ambiguous meaning, took a big bite of the crisp apple in his hand, and the sweet juice instantly filled his mouth.

He had taken this from the logistics department of the Thorn Legion officers.

The food for the soldiers and these military officers was completely different. The former could only eat black bread, potatoes, and occasionally some meat.

However, not only did these officers eat meat for every meal, they even had vegetables and fruits, which perfectly reflected the different social classes.

"Actually, this matter has to start with Sikai." Fujie Luo glanced at Sikai and continued, "I think you also know that the Mithril Chamber of Commerce was founded by Duke Fulina."

"The Mithril Merchant Guild has always conducted trade in the depths of the wilderness. Generally speaking, most of the time, Knight Skye serves as the captain of the escort team."

"Does this have anything to do with where Florina went?" Levi did not comment.

"You must not know who the Mithril Chamber of Commerce mainly serves." Fujiro smiled mysteriously.

"Elf?" The lord guessed casually.

Fujiro was a little surprised, and then he exclaimed: "Sir, your wisdom is like that of an ancient prophet. Just a few clues can help you find the final answer."

“Stop flattering me. With all those exquisite things you pulled out from the depths of the wilderness, only elves with a strong obsessive-compulsive disorder about beauty could do such a meaningless thing.” The lord sneered.

After rescuing Miriel from the wilderness natives, he gave Highcliff Castle several carts of wine.

The oak barrels filled with wine were extremely exquisite, and the copper rings around the waists of the barrels were engraved with exquisite patterns.

It can be said that the price of the oak barrel alone is not much lower than the wine inside.

If other businessmen would like to use paper to package wine, they would save as much cost as possible. They are not like the elves who like perfection.

Later, the lord asked Lolina to buy some books with detailed explanations of famous races, which recorded that this exquisite pattern was first created by the elves.

When combined again, the answer becomes clear.

"Just as you guessed, Lord Li, Bailiu City has a very close relationship with an elven tribe deep in the wilderness. Lord Miriel's parents are one of the elders of this elven tribe." At this point, Fujiro sighed, "To be honest with you, Lord Li, after so many years of exchanges, the relationship between the two is not much different from that of siblings."

"Duke Florina was the first person to notice that something was wrong with this Wilderness Alliance. She believed that someone must be supporting this Wilderness Alliance from behind, which is why the purpose of this Wilderness Alliance is so confusing."

"Plus, since the Wilderness Coalition raised the banner of heading south, Bailiu City has not received any news from the Lonely Valley Elf Tribe. This is why we are worried that the people behind the Wilderness Coalition are planning to harm the Elf Tribe, so we hurriedly took people to investigate."

"All of this is true. It is not made up. If you don't believe me, you can ask Knight Skye."

The legion commander looked at Sikai next to him, and the knight commander nodded silently.

After saying this in one breath, Fujiro began to sip tea to moisten his throat.

In fact, he still had reservations about this matter and kept all the information about the magic crystal mine hidden. He knew very well that the way to hide a problem was to raise another one.

The same is true for lying.

He hid things related to the magic crystal mine and released the elf tribe.

"Then I want to ask, who are the people behind these wilderness coalition forces? Why is Duke Flinna worried about launching an attack on this elven tribe?"

The Lord knocked on the table.

He is not someone who can be easily fooled. Combining the previous speculations, it can be expected that what Fujiro said is basically true, but he deliberately ignored one point.

Is that why the dark elves would inexplicably attack these elves?

Although the dark elves and high elves have an irreconcilable hatred, it is far from enough to launch an attack on them at this time.

"Well, that's exactly what I was going to say next." Fujiro looked worried:

"In fact, Duke Flinna is just worried. She has not received any specific news. As for why she is worried about this, it is naturally because of the long-term trade with Bailiu City. The elf tribe of Lonely Valley is very rich in the wilderness where most people are poor. Therefore, it is not surprising that some jackals would attack them."

"Is that so?" Levi stared at Fujiro.

"Sir, every word is true." Fujiro blinked his eyes, looking very innocent.

"Okay, but I didn't expect the Martell family to value allies so much." Levi chuckled twice.

My Lord, I dare to guarantee with Zat's integrity that Fujiro is definitely hiding something, but he is just like him.

Levi also hid the information he knew about who was behind this wilderness coalition.

In fact, Levi later asked the captured pig-headed leader, and found out that the only people in the Wilderness Alliance who knew about the dark elves were their tribal leaders.

Apart from the dead ogre leader and the captured It, only the Centaur leader, the Minotaur Chieftain, the Harpy Queen and a hobgoblin knew.

In other words, if Fujiro wanted to know the news, he could only capture these leaders like he did and pry open their mouths.

However, the lord felt that among these ruthless characters, it would be easiest to extract information from them by capturing the Harpy Queen, provided that Fogelrock sacrificed himself.

After all, these harpies are very realistic. They only like the best humans and mate with them to give birth to the strongest offspring.

A knight like Fujiro, who is strong and has cultivated fighting spirit, is definitely a favorite in their eyes.

At least you have to work day and night for ten days and ten nights, not missing a single bit.

If Folgerloken leaves behind his precious bloodline, there is no guarantee that the Harpy Queen will not turn to the light.

Getting back to the topic, the explanation ended like this, and then Fujiro said that he was ready to start a comprehensive defeat of the wilderness coalition today.

Although Fujiro is eager to gain military merit in order to be promoted to the ranks of the nobility, he is very cautious in reality.

After seeing from the last brief confrontation that this wilderness coalition was no simple force, they waited patiently for reinforcements to arrive before preparing to settle the matter.
