Several wooden planks were nailed onto the damaged wooden door, barely resisting the cold wind from the north.

The lord, who was the main culprit, crossed his legs and sat on the chair, looking at the leader of the Thorns Legion: "Fojero, I have given you enough time. I hope your so-called explanation can satisfy me."

Inside the meeting hall, only Sky Knight was present; there was no one else.

Even Panda and the clerics were excluded from this symposium about Frilina's whereabouts.

"Lord, the truth is I have been busy all night and only just now had time to spare."

Fojero spread his hands, his face calm.

"Perhaps." Leiv smiled meaningfully twice and took a hard bite of the crisp apple in his hand, the fresh, sweet juice instantly filling his mouth.

This was something he had conveniently taken from the Thorns Legion officer's logistics.

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

But these officers ate meat every meal, and even had vegetables and fruits. It perfectly demonstrated the hierarchy.

"Actually, this matter has to start with Sky here." Fojero glanced at Sky and continued, "I think you also know that the Mithril Merchant Guild was created by Duchess Frilina."

"And the Mithril Merchant Guild has always traded in the depths of the wilderness. Generally speaking, most of the time, Sir Sky serves as the captain of the guard."

"Does this have anything to do with where Frilina went?" Leiv said noncommittally.

"You definitely don't know who the Mithril Merchant Guild mainly serves." Fojero smiled mysteriously.

"Elves?" The lord guessed casually.

Fojero was a little surprised, then praised with a face full of admiration: "Lord, your wisdom is like that of the ancient prophets, and you can find the final answer with just some clues."

"Stop flattering me. The exquisite things you pulled out of the wilderness can only be done by those elves who have a strong obsession with beauty and do such meaningless things." The lord sneered twice.

After saving Mireille from the wilderness natives, he once sent several carts of wine to Highcliff Castle.

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

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

If other merchants could use paper to hold wine, they would save as much cost as possible. Where would they be like elves who like to be perfect?

Later, the lord asked Rolina to buy some books about famous races, which recorded that this exquisite pattern was first created by elves.

Combining these facts, the answer is obvious.

"Just as Lord Leiv guessed, Bai Liu City and an elven tribe in the depths of the wilderness have a very deep friendship. Mireille's parents are elders of this elven tribe." Speaking of this, Fojero sighed: "In fact, to be honest, Lord, after so many years of exchanges, the relationship between the two is not as close as siblings, but it is not far off."

"Duchess Frilina was the first to notice that something was wrong with this wilderness coalition army. She believed that someone must be supporting this wilderness coalition army behind the scenes, so the purpose of this wilderness coalition army is confusing."

"In addition, since this wilderness coalition army raised the banner to go south, Bai Liu City has not received any news from the Lonely Valley elven tribe, so they are worried about whether the people behind these wilderness coalition forces want to be unfavorable to this elven tribe, so they hurriedly took people to investigate."

"All of this is true, not fabricated. You can ask Sir Sky."

The legion commander looked at Sky next to him, and the knight commander nodded in silence.

After saying this in one breath, Fojero began to sip tea, moistening his throat.

In fact, he still had some reservations about this matter, hiding the matter about the magic crystal mine.

He knew that the way to hide a problem was to throw out another problem.

Lying is the same.

He hid the things about the magic crystal mine and released the elven tribe.

"Then I would like to ask, who are behind these wilderness coalition forces? Why is Duchess Frilina worried about launching an attack on this elven tribe?"

The lord tapped the table.

He was not easily fooled. Combining the previous guesses, what Fojero said can be predicted to be basically true, but he deliberately ignored a point.

That is, why would those dark elves attack these elves for no reason?

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

"Alas, this is exactly what I am going to say next." Fojero looked worried:

"In fact, Duchess Frilina is just worried and has not received any specific news. As for why there are concerns in this regard, it is natural because the Lonely Valley elven tribe, which has long been trading with Bai Liu City, can be said to be rich among the generally poor wilderness, so it is not surprising that some jackals will attack them."

"Is that so?" Leiv stared at Fojero.

"Lord, every word is true." Fojero blinked his eyes, looking very innocent.

"Okay, I just didn't expect the Martel family to value allies so much." Leiv chuckled twice.

The lord dared to vouch with Zart's integrity that Fojero had definitely hidden something, but just like him.

Leiv also hid the information that he knew who was behind this wilderness coalition army.

In fact, later Leiv also asked the captured pig-headed leader. Only their tribal leaders in the wilderness coalition army knew about the dark elves.

Aside from the dead ogre leader and the captured one, there were only the centaur leader, the Minotaur chief, the harpy queen, and a goblin who knew.

That is to say, if Fojero wants to know this information, he can only capture these leaders like him and pry open their mouths.

However, the lord felt that among these ruthless characters, it was probably easy to get information from the Harpy Queen, provided that Fojero was willing to dedicate himself.

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

Fojero, a strong and powerful knight who also cultivates battle qi, is definitely a sweet treat in their eyes.

At least he would have to work hard day and night for ten days and ten nights, not letting go of every bit.

If Fojero is willing to leave his precious bloodline, it is hard to guarantee that the Harpy Queen will not abandon the dark and turn to the light.

Back to the topic, this explanation came to an end. Then Fojero said that he would prepare to fully defeat those wilderness coalition forces today.

Although Fojero was eager to gain military merit in order to be promoted to the ranks of nobility, he was very prudent in reality.

After the last brief confrontation showed that this wilderness coalition army was not simple, he waited for reinforcements to arrive before preparing to make a final decision.
