Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords

Just as this human said, it had only temporarily teamed up with Gus and Leyton for the sake of the Primal Blood Crystal, and there was no real friendship to speak of.

There was absolutely no need for it to suffer for their sake.

As for the cowardly act of betraying allies?

Tikri would rather be called a coward than be humiliated by a bunch of goblins and harpies!

As long as it was alive, there would always be opportunities.

This was something it had always firmly believed in.

Li Wei was a little surprised that this guy surrendered so quickly, without him even resorting to any tricks, but he didn't intend to humiliate it.

After all, its surrender was beneficial to him, and there was no need to let it vent its anger and plant a thorn in its heart.

"Name?" Li Wei asked.

"Tikri."

The pig-headed leader glanced at the orcs surrounding him, their numbers blocking every possible escape route, and honestly replied.

"Tell me, what is the real reason for your southward march this time?" Li Wei wiped the Holy Sword in his hand with a handkerchief. The mithril longsword emitted a unique glow under the moonlight.

"Don't tell me it's for plunder. If you say something meaningless like that... hehe..." The lord sneered twice, the last words unspoken, but the meaning was clear.

"A dark elf found us and, using the Primal Blood Crystal as a reward, asked us to march south to attract the attention of Duke Deber's Northern Territory and cut off your connection with the depths of the wilderness."

Now that it had decided to surrender, Tikri had nothing to hide and blurted everything out.

Although it felt a sense of loss, as if something was gone forever, the moment it decided to surrender, betraying its allies seemed easy.

"Ah, it really is a drow elf?!"

Masha, who had walked behind the lord at some point, exclaimed in disbelief.

The lord also frowned.

After all, it was just a guess before, so he still had a glimmer of hope, but now that it was confirmed, he couldn't help but feel worried.

"What is the Primal Blood Crystal?"

The lord asked instead.

After all, being able to bring this group of powerful races together and dare to fight against a duke, one could imagine how valuable this Primal Blood Crystal was, making them choose to take the risk.

"I know!" Masha raised her hand and said,

"Legend has it that the Primal Blood Crystal is refined by alchemists using an extremely rare magic crystal and some magical materials. It purifies the user's bloodline, giving them a chance to obtain the special powers of strong ancestors hidden deep within their bloodline, and even gives their descendants a chance to inherit this special power."

After speaking, Masha added, "But the alchemists who could refine this kind of magical item have long disappeared in the river of history. How could there still be such a thing now?"

"Even the drow elves have emerged, what else is impossible?"

The lord felt that even if a bunch of white walkers appeared in the wilderness at this time, he wouldn't be surprised.

Masha sighed and didn't refute anymore.

However, Li Wei was indeed surprised by the Primal Blood Crystal.

In this world, bloodlines are something that can genuinely bring benefits.

For example, dragonkin containing dragon blood are often more outstanding and powerful than their own race.

But as everyone knows, generally speaking, if you want to have a strong bloodline, you either have to bathe in the blood of special creatures, such as dragon blood, to combine the two bloodlines.

Or you have to give birth to offspring with powerful creatures, and the offspring may have a chance to inherit the other party's powerful abilities.

Secondly, if you yourself are promoted to a legendary powerhouse, you will undergo a qualitative change, and your descendants will inherit a powerful bloodline.

But none of these are permanent. As time passes, if no one in the descendants can be promoted to legendary again, the concentration of the bloodline will become lower and lower until it becomes so thin that it disappears.

But this so-called Primal Blood Crystal can awaken the bloodline of ancestors, which is indeed extraordinary.

After all, counting up, the people who remain now, counting back eighteen generations, may all be descendants of legendary powerhouses.

After all, thousands of years ago, although legendary powerhouses were rare, there were actually many throughout the entire Middle Ages continent.

If you awaken the bloodline of a legendary powerhouse, then you've really made a fortune.

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

Besides the Primal Blood Crystal, the other things Tikri said earlier were things he had already guessed, but now they were just confirmed.

What really mattered was what the true purpose of these drow elves was.

"Lord, I don't know the true purpose of these dark elves. They just sent people to contact the leaders of various tribes and offered the Primal Blood Crystal as a reward for us to march south."

Tikri replied truthfully.

Taking a deep look at the pig-headed leader, and finding that it looked frank and open, Li Wei snapped his fingers: "Very good, your honesty has earned you the opportunity to live. You are a smart person."

"Next, you will prepare to go to Highcliff Fortress to welcome your new life of hard labor."

"Lord..." Tikri originally wanted to say that it wanted to fight as a warrior, but the words came to its lips, and it said dejectedly: "Yes."

Waving his hand, several orc guards dragged it aside and placed it to one side.

"Lord, do you really believe it? What if it takes the opportunity to escape?" Masha said with some worry.

As a clergy member, she often had a heart of kindness, but it definitely did not include these alien races.

Although she didn't understand military affairs, Masha also knew that these people should be killed after being questioned to prevent future troubles.

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

However, there was another deeper meaning that Li Wei didn't say. This pig-headed man was completely insignificant to him. Even if he didn't kill him, he wouldn't pose any threat to him.

Keeping him could also promote his reputation for keeping his promises and treating prisoners well.

If he captured others in the future, with this precedent, the prisoners wouldn't be afraid that he would kill them after questioning them because they were worthless.

Maybe they would actively answer questions, saving a lot of effort.

"The true purpose of these drow elves is probably the reason why Flina left."

Coming to the trebuchet, with his hands behind his back, watching the shadowy battlefield in the distance, Li Wei had a guess in his mind.

He had gradually cleared away this fog, and now it was up to Fojero to give him an explanation.

"This is?!"

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

Originally, it was just a battlefield with torches soaring into the sky, but a bolt of lightning suddenly pierced the sky, shooting from afar, and the blue light illuminated the entire battlefield.

Li Wei quickly took out his telescope to take a look...
