Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords

The gale was howling, and the scenery on both sides was receding rapidly. The gold-armored knight on the dragon's neck looked at the Bone Fortress, which was already becoming a small black dot. Even with his disappointment, he patiently tried to persuade the silver dragon beneath him.

"Sophia, those six-armed snake demons aren't as powerful as you think. They can't even break your dragon scales. Only five times, no... three times! You can turn them all into ice sculptures!"

"You'll have a page dedicated to you in 'The Dragon Book.' Travelers will record your great achievements today for posterity to admire. You'll become a Silver Dragon Queen with her own biography!"

"It's no use, it's no use..."

But no matter how earnestly the lord tried to persuade her, the silver dragon frantically shook her head, flying straight towards Highcliff Stronghold.

At this speed, they would probably be back at Highcliff Stronghold by dawn.

Seeing that persuasion was useless, Li Wei became genuinely angry and roared, "Deserting before the battle, my Highcliff Stronghold has produced someone like you."

"Even if we die, I, your lord, will die before you. What are you afraid of?"

"Do you want to kill Zart, Meer, and the others at Highcliff Stronghold?!"

"Tina is so good to you, even embroidered you a wallet. Do you want to completely disappoint her?"

A series of questions followed, and it was unclear which one struck a chord.

"I can't let Sister Tina and everyone be disappointed in me!" Sophia's voice rang out.

She turned around and headed back to the Bone Fortress. Li Wei saw fear in her eyes, but she screamed to encourage herself while manipulating the wind to increase her speed, charging towards the demons that were already covering a tenth of the Bone Fortress.

"I am Sophia, the silver dragon, the most talented dragon on Dragon Island. I will become a Silver Dragon Queen renowned throughout the continent, possessing the wealth of a nation. These demons are nothing on my thorny path..."

Sophia muttered, trying to overcome her inner fear, but the effect didn't seem very good, as she stuttered a bit.

Her streamlined body, enhanced by magic-controlled wind, increased her speed several times over. The silver dragon returned to the Bone Fortress at an even faster pace, diving towards the group of six-armed snake demon warriors.

These guys still wanted to repeat their old tricks, but whether she had overcome her cowardly nature or something else, Sophia seemed to become extremely clever, applying all the spells she had learned.

Countless mists instantly enveloped her, turning the sky into a vast expanse of white clouds. When the six-armed snake demons threw their spears into it, they hit nothing.

A dragon's roar echoed from the other side of the mist. The breathtakingly beautiful beast emerged, and green dragon breath rained down.

The six-armed snake demons seemed to realize that death was imminent.

They roared, flung their weapons, and raised their shields. This was their last struggle. The more powerful the warrior, the more they feared being reduced to nothingness, as it meant that everything they had fought for would become meaningless.

Unfortunately, the one who controlled their fate at this moment didn't know the meaning of mercy. Because she was too scared, her dragon breath even exceeded its normal power, reaching twelve times its usual strength and coverage.

"Hiss!"

A shrill wail instantly echoed. The six-armed snake demon warriors who were hit head-on by the dragon breath seemed to be doused in strong sulfuric acid, their flesh instantly melting into a pool of sewage, and their bones gradually dissolving.

Even a slight touch would leave only bones in their hands, without a trace of flesh.

This was a greater visual shock than cold breath. One dive and breath attack completely annihilated two thousand demons.

This was a result that left the lord completely stunned.

He knew that Sophia had two types of breath: one was cold breath, which he had seen before, and the other was paralyzing gas breath.

But looking at the blood everywhere, Li Wei was silent. You call this paralyzing gas breath?

Sophia once said that she was a genius girl on Dragon Island, and even her breath had been improved.

This wasn't improvement; it was clearly a magical modification...

Even the green dragons among the five-colored dragons would be confused.

Absolute power brought absolute destruction. Even a juvenile dragon was not something that ordinary nobodies could deal with.

When the third breath attack came, even the brave six-armed snake demon warriors couldn't bear this feeling of helplessness, of just waiting to die.

Without causing any effective damage to the enemy, they had already lost half of their forces. Even fanatics wouldn't want to waste their precious lives on a meaningless death struggle.

The six-armed snake demons began to roar. With this cry full of fear, they began to retreat in a chaotic, swarming manner.

With a dragon watching them from above, they were destined to taste the bitter fruit of failure, and there was no need to continue wasting their lives here.

They didn't know that as long as they withstood this last breath attack, they would usher in a new opportunity, but it seemed that the gods did not favor them.

"Li Wei, I can only breathe three times at most now, barely four times. I need time to recover before the next breath." Sophia, who had retreated into the clouds again, said in the lord's mind.

There was no free lunch in the world, and naturally, there was no free dragon breath. The power to burn mountains and boil seas also meant that it would come at the cost of earth-shattering consumption.

Each dragon breath consumed the energy stored in a unique organ within the dragon's body, and this energy was not magic and recovered extremely slowly.

Li Wei, looking down from the dragon's back at the demons retreating from the Bone Fortress like the ebb and flow of the tide, slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, as a military fortress, the Bone Fortress being occupied entirely by demons simply because a city gate was opened was not enough.

However, those six-armed snake demon warriors were too brave and powerful and were not something that ordinary soldiers could deal with, which was why they could present such a sense of powerlessness in such a short time.

If it were just a group of low-level demons, even if they briefly rushed into the city gate, they would be driven out by the people who reacted.

Li Wei looked down from the sky and found that after the six-armed snake demons retreated, the low-level demons were completely unable to occupy the Bone Fortress. Damon's army was gradually driving them out.

The crisis was resolved. The silver dragon soaring in the sky descended towards the ground. The airflow she stirred with her wings was like a gale, even collapsing several old buildings.

The silver dragon turned back into the silver dragon girl she had been before, but her face was pale, and there was a firmness in her eyes that she had never had before. Perhaps even she didn't know it.

The two walked towards the position where Highcliff Stronghold was holding out.

"Where's Foggerty?" As soon as he returned, Li Wei glanced around, but Foggerty was gone.

He had heard the other party come to support him at the time, but he couldn't care less about chatting with him then.

The lord was quite touched by this, after all, not everyone dared to risk their lives to support Highcliff Stronghold in such a certain-death situation.

No one answered. The surroundings were quiet. The people of Highcliff Stronghold were looking at him and Sophia with extremely curious eyes.

"Brother-in-law, Foggerty saw that the crisis was resolved and hurried back to manage the army." Meer was the first to come up and answer.

Li Wei nodded, then looked at a group of burly men staring at him, his whole body covered in goosebumps, and said with a disgusted expression, "Damn, I'm not gay. If you have any questions, ask them quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone immediately surrounded him. Orc barbarians and centaurs squeezed to the front with their burly bodies. Fed archers and gnolls could only watch the buttocks of the burly men anxiously, and finally squeezed in through the gaps with their bodies.

"Um... why can Sophia turn into a dragon, sir?" The dark elf Heather asked first, with a look of pain that was hard to describe.

After all, she had always thought that this girl, although possessing dragon blood, was surprisingly foolish, and her timidity and bullying were simply engraved on her forehead.

But she never expected that the other party was now a dragon at the top of the food chain.

It was a painful feeling, like the little sister you had always taken care of turned out to be a hidden rich daughter.

It was like fearing that your good brother was suffering and fearing that your good brother was driving a Land Rover.

"As you can see, because the other party is a dragon, but just used a transformation spell." Li Wei snapped his fingers.

Although Sophia's face was pale, she still proudly puffed out her considerable chest, with an expression of - now you know how awesome I am.

"Didn't I lead people to slay a dragon alone back then? Sophia is that dragon."

Although he almost told everyone that Sophia was the dragon in the rumors, often no one believed him when he told the truth, and instead thought that this was just a dragon-blooded human, and those rumors were just someone putting gold on their face.

Now the dragon was really here, and everyone had seen it with their own eyes, so there was no need to spend too much effort to prove it.

"Oh!" A uniform sound of realization, but looking at their expressions, the lord had a bad feeling.

He subconsciously asked, "Then what did you think Sophia was before?"

"You used dragon slaying to deliberately find a dragon-blooded girl, whose existence was to satisfy your own needs and prove that the lord of Highcliff Stronghold was a complete lecher." Zart finished speaking in a chanting manner, shaking his head, and then looked at everyone slyly: "What else did you say then? I remember there was something like a man as strong as the boss should find a group of wives, was that what you said at the time?"

The group of burly men at Highcliff Stronghold were collectively dumbfounded, waving their hands desperately.

Damn it, Captain Zart, you're going to kill them!

Sophia blushed, the books on Dragon Island were full of books recording dragons and humans in love, and she wasn't ignorant of everything.

Li Wei was shocked. He didn't expect that this group of seemingly simple-minded burly men would say such things. The water was too hot to drink, and people's hearts were too cold to touch, but when he saw Zart's sly mouth, he understood how much of it was true.

"Damn it." The lord rolled his eyes with an upright expression: "I am a gentleman and still a virgin!"

"Even your steward Tina, I haven't married yet."

"If you ruin my reputation as a virgin like this again, be careful I'll treat you to handmade beef balls!"

"Hiss!" A uniform hiss, although they didn't understand what a virgin was, everyone knew that their boss was putting gold on his face again.

The people of Highcliff Stronghold seemed to have collectively suffered from a crooked mouth disease, and their mouths were all turned up.

"Boom!"

At this moment, a loud noise that shook the sky came from the horizon, followed by a pillar of light in the night sky above the Hengduan Mountains, falling from the sky like a sharp sword.

"Roar!"

A moment later, a roar containing anger came from afar, like thunder rolling in a storm, a tsunami surging in the sea, and snow rolling down from the top of a snow mountain.

"What a powerful creature, even the roar makes people tremble." Layton's face turned pale.

If the previous dragon roar was shocking enough, it was still somewhat immature and inferior.

Then this roar now completely made people's souls tremble, as if the king of beasts on the mountain was roaring at the ants at the foot of the mountain, declaring his sovereignty.

"It seems the battle is not over yet." The lord took a deep breath, his expression calmed down, and he was no longer in the mood to joke with the barbarians.

"Layton, Meer, take people back to the camp first. After handling the chores, send people to guard the city with Foggerty. Wait for me to come back before doing anything else."

The battlefield that would determine the outcome of this war was not here, but at the Hengduan Mountains teleportation gate.

If the teleportation gate was not resolved, this war could not end. Although he did not know what was happening there, based on everything that had happened and been seen here, he knew that the situation there was not good.

The lord planned to ride Sophia to see what was going on.

It wasn't that he wanted to put on a brave face, but after seeing the situation, if he could win, he would win. If he couldn't win, he would just see if he could rescue Fatir and then retreat with the Highcliff Stronghold team.

After all, there were tall people to support the sky. Involving abyssal demons was no longer just Deber's business, but a disaster for the entire Middle Ages continent.

The Seven Kingdoms and various racial forces would never stand idly by.

Sophia stood silently behind the lord. After experiencing some things, her mentality had also subtly changed.

Although she was also very scared in her heart.

"Boss, I'll go with you." Zart stood up without hesitation.

Everyone knew that their boss was preparing to enter the Hengduan Mountains alone.

"There is a Balor there, and the roar that seemed to collapse the sky just now was probably made by it." The lord waved his hand in disgust: "Wouldn't you just be sending food to it if you went?"

"Isn't it just a Balor? I've killed no less than a thousand demons just now. At worst, I'll die, and I'll still follow you as a undead."

Zart swung his battle axe over his shoulder, grinned at Li Wei, and his teeth were surprisingly white in the night.
