Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords

No matter which legion it was, in the face of such a situation, the commander leaving alone would definitely cause turmoil and destabilize morale.

However, no one in Highcliff Fortress suspected that Li Wei was leaving to escape at this time; it was a tacit trust.

But they couldn't afford to overthink it, as the Six-Armed Snake Demon warriors arrived subsequently.

Greeting them first was a rain of arrows, the most outstanding of which was Guss's arrow condensed with thunder elements. This centaur leader had undergone several attribute enhancements, and its strength was now completely different from what it used to be.

The Six-Armed Snake Demon warrior who took this arrow head-on was like being struck by lightning. Immediately, a scent of roasted meat wafted through the air. There was no visible change on the outside, but its internal organs were thoroughly cooked.

The huge body swayed before collapsing to the ground with a crash.

One should know that ordinary demons would be instantly electrocuted into charcoal by Guss's arrow, but these Six-Armed Snake Demon warriors only had their most vulnerable internal organs scorched, which was definitely a symbol of a powerful figure.

A new round of bloody battle unfolded again, with the Highcliff Fortress squad standing firm like a reef in the sea, unshaken by wind and rain.

Everyone was prepared to fight alone, but unexpectedly, at this moment, a massive sound of fighting came from the darkness on the left, followed by the unique roar of the Six-Armed Snake Demon warriors.

"Lord, is that you?" Fujiro's roar actually drowned out the sounds of fighting and transmitted into the area.

"Uncle Fujiro, it's us!" Mir was standing on the eaves commanding. Seeing this, he immediately raised the torch next to him, and the egg-yolk yellow light illuminated his immature and resolute face in the darkness.

Unfortunately, perhaps the fighting was too intense, as there was no response from the other side.

"Charge over there!" Layton immediately commanded a portion of the people to welcome them.

The front-line Laniers raised their spears, while those behind drew their gleaming greatswords, twirling them in a sword flourish, their cold light chilling under the night sky.

The entire centaur squad began to roll towards the left, hooves flying, flesh and blood splattering, like a hot knife cutting into butter. The Six-Armed Snake Demon warriors in the front row were instantly pierced with transparent holes by the four-edged steel lances, skewered on the lances.

Before the survivors could rejoice, they were met with greatswords as huge as their bodies smashing down on their heads.

Heather and the others were preparing to support the centaurs first, and soon redirected their spells towards the front battlefield.

These centaurs were like sharp boning knives when charging, able to tear open a gap in the formation in an instant.

If they were not inside the city, but on a plain, they could even exhaust these Six-Armed Snake Demons to death.

These centaur warriors were unbelievably valiant, not inferior to orc warriors at all.

Fujiro and his group rushed into this vacant camp like a whirlwind.

Mir explained the arrangements and immediately jumped off the eaves to meet them. He glanced over roughly and saw that the other side only had a few hundred men.

But they were all knights wearing fine plate armor and trained in Battle Qi. Some were the only elites of the Thorns Legion, and some were apprentice knights who had joined him after he became a baron.

"Uncle Fujiro, why are you here?"

"I waited at the city gate for a while and didn't see you. Instead, I heard the sound of fighting, and I knew you must be trapped, so I brought people to support you."

Fujiro had changed into a cavalry armor at some point, which looked a bit large because it didn't fit well. There were two colors of blood stains of different depths on his armor, indicating that he had encountered another battle on the way here.

"Because ordinary soldiers wouldn't be of much use here, I sent the remaining people to guard the city gate and only brought three hundred knights who know Battle Qi."

These three hundred knights, including many apprentice knights whose Battle Qi was not yet proficient, were indeed the elite that Fujiro could gather in a short time.

"Where is Lord Li Wei?" Fujiro suddenly realized that he didn't see Li Wei's figure at all after entering here.

Logically speaking, in this kind of battle, he would have been at the forefront hacking and slashing wildly.

"My brother-in-law has something to do and left temporarily."

Mir replied casually.

Although Fujiro really wanted to know what Li Wei was doing leaving at this time, he also knew that the other party didn't want to say, so he didn't ask further, but said in a deep voice: "The demons are getting more and more numerous on my way here to support you. If we abandon those auxiliary soldiers and cooks, we can still escape, otherwise we can only be trapped here to death."

In fact, they were able to escape to the city gate so quickly because they abandoned some cumbersome people.

He didn't want to do this kind of thing, but he was the commander of an army, and at this time he had to weigh the pros and cons and sacrifice a group of cooks in exchange for the survival of a group of elite warriors.

Probably no matter who it was, he would do the same.

The essence of war is actually the simplest addition and subtraction.

But after he finished speaking, he found that no one paid attention to him. The goatmen and rabbitmen didn't even bother to raise their heads, but continued to reinforce the fortifications on their own.

If the front can't hold on, this will be the last line of defense for the Highcliff Fortress squad.

"Uncle Fujiro, we at Highcliff Fortress will not abandon any of our companions!" Mir said firmly.

Fujiro was silent.

He couldn't understand how a group of goatmen and rabbitmen who couldn't even lift a sword could compare to those valiant orc warriors and centaur clan warriors.

If it were him, let alone these goatmen vassals, even if it were a hundred ordinary soldiers and one orc warrior from the Highcliff Fortress squad, he would not hesitate to choose the orc warrior.

Although he didn't understand, he respected this behavior.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the Highcliff Fortress's willpower is so cohesive.

"Anyway, when I chose to come and support you, I didn't think I would be able to go back alive." Fujiro simply gave up and raised the longsword in his hand: "I'll go crazy with you today."

In reality, it was easy to rush in, but difficult to rush out. Now, there was no other way but to fight to the death.

All the Thorns Legion knights wanted to join the front battlefield, but in the end, they found that there was no place for them at all, and they could only aggrievedly consolidate the defensive fortifications with the rabbitmen.

Even Fujiro was squeezed back and was standing on the eaves with Mir, a mess in the wind.

He suddenly realized that his wishful thinking of support had no effect at all. The entire Highcliff Fortress squad was like a piece of iron, and their joining would only destroy this cohesion and hold them back.

...

Sophia was still Sophia, blinking her weak, pitiful, and beautiful eyes, seemingly very unwilling.

"Sophia, I need your help now. Only you can save everyone who is now deep in the flames of war!"

Li Wei stared at the silver dragon girl in front of him and directly opened the skylight to speak frankly.

To be honest, the reason why he was still confident until now was because of this silver dragon in front of him.

The power of dragons is beyond doubt. Even a juvenile dragon, if used well enough, is enough to sway the outcome of a battle.

"Li Wei, it's not that I don't want to help, but these demons are too scary..." Sophia's timid nature was as always.

Even a cowardly rabbitman can be inspired by the ferocity in his bloodline after staying in Highcliff Fortress for a long time, but this silver dragon girl seems to be unchanging and completely unaffected by others.

"One gold coin!" Li Wei directly raised a finger, interrupting her self-talk.

"Li Wei..." Sophia put her hands on her waist and sighed like an adult, wanting to righteously prove that she was not a greedy person.

"Five!"

"..." The girl fell silent, her face full of hesitation.

"Ten!" Li Wei said a number expressionlessly.

"Deal!"

Just when Li Wei thought he had to continue adding, he didn't expect the silver dragon girl in front of him to wave her white and jade-like little fist fiercely, like a fierce little milk tiger.

"As long as I help you resolve this battle, you will give me ten gold coins, right?" she finally confirmed, lest someone go back on their word afterwards.

The lord who was originally thinking of ten gold coins for a dragon's breath silently took back what he was about to say and nodded silently: "That's right."

It is rumored that some dragons will also help humans fight for treasure. The most famous is the red dragon Aragon's one hundred thousand gold coins for a dragon's breath, which ultimately helped the Kingdom of Guss tie with the enemy country with ten dragon breaths.

The reason why they couldn't defeat the enemy country even with the help of an adult dragon was naturally because the Kingdom of Guss ran out of money.

Even the tenth dragon breath was given by Aragon at half price for the sake of the queen.

It can be seen that wanting to hire a dragon with money is definitely an unimaginable expense.

And now ten gold coins can hire a silver dragon, which is probably the cheapest dragon in dragon history.

After everything was settled, Sophia also demonstrated her integrity in doing things with money and lifted the transformation technique. Her own changes also began.

A burst of silver light enveloped her body, and a behemoth appeared in the open space after a while.

Its body was huge and slender, covered with layers of scales that shone with moonlight-like silver brilliance. Each piece was like a carefully crafted work of art, reflecting a faint light, and could become the most dazzling existence in the darkness.

The whole body seemed to be surrounded by a faint halo, and every movement was accompanied by a subtle but pleasant metallic friction sound, which was the proof of the subtle collision between its scales.

The wings were wide and powerful, and a gentle flap could stir up gusts of breeze. Its head had smooth lines, and its eyes were like two bright stars embedded in the silver sky. The already scaled dragon horns spiraled around like a dragon's crown, dazzlingly.

The silver figure was breathtakingly beautiful under the night sky.

Its unparalleled elegance and dignity were enough to stand out from the crowd.

This is the dragon, a legendary creature that combines strength, wisdom, and beauty. Its existence itself is a feast for the eyes and the soul.

The harmless girl instantly turned into an incomparably majestic behemoth, but the style was instantly destroyed as soon as it opened its mouth.

"Li Wei, get up quickly, and don't forget the ten gold coins you promised me."

She was still mumbling about the gold coins that were about to belong to her.

"Ascend!" Li Wei climbed onto her neck and raised the holy sword in his hand towards the sky.

...

The huge figure moved slightly and knocked down the surrounding houses. The sun-shading wings swept into the sky with a wave. The crisp and loud childish dragon roar was like the first muffled thunder that sounded in the wilderness that had been drought for a whole year, but on an ordinary night with dim starlight.

So nearly 100,000 soldiers in the entire White Bone Fortress were able to see with their own eyes that under the night sky, the entire White Bone Fortress was plunged into war. The evil demons were wantonly carrying out massacres. Those Six-Armed Snake Demon warriors were so powerful and terrifying that everyone felt powerless.

As a result, at this time, a dragon appeared out of thin air and rose into the sky.

Its loud dragon roar was like a prelude to a death sentence, and the sun-shading wings were like a curtain of death shrouded in everyone's hearts.

"God, isn't the suffering caused to us by the demons enough?" This dragon roar disturbed most people's judgment. Under the panic-stricken guess, they subconsciously thought that Debe had no dragon knights at all, and this dragon might be on the side of the demons.

"This dragon knight may be here to help us?" Some people saw a golden shadow on the back of the dragon. They still maintained some sanity and couldn't help but comfort themselves like this.

"May the Ice and Snow Goddess and the Earth Mother bless us!" Some soldiers prayed loudly towards the sky.

...

Fujiro, who was standing on the roof, was idly watching how the Highcliff Fortress squad demonstrated its crushing strength, so he and the others witnessed the loud dragon roar made by the dragon and were shocked by the dragon's elegant and noble body.

"Why do I feel that the knight on the back of the dragon is the lord?" His mind turned quickly, and he said meaningfully.

After all, the Highcliff Fortress lord just left, and the dragon just happened to appear. There is no such coincidence in the world.

All the coincidences add up, and that's not a coincidence.

"Maybe." Mir said ambiguously, looking at the dragon circling in the sky with envy.

"The limelight has been taken by the boss alone again." Zart curled his lips.

As the old man who followed the dragon slayer at the beginning, he knew that this dragon knight was the boss.

And Freena, who was leading the soldiers to aid the White Bone Fortress, stopped, her eyes closely following the behemoth circling in the sky. Not only her, but all the officers were silent for a while, and a pin could be heard falling.

For some reason, she had a hunch that this dragon must be related to Li Wei.

...

In the Hengduan Mountains, the blood swordsmen were fighting the demons in front of them in a bloody battle, and in the center of the open space stood a towering and terrifying figure. A bald swordsman was besieging the other party with a girl and an old man.

That dragon roar broke through the layers of clouds and finally reached here.

"Despicable humans, you actually called for the help of dragons. Are you little and fragile ants only capable of such shameless means?!" Balor Flame Demon's angry voice was like thunder rolling in a rainstorm, the sound rolling, as if even all things would be destroyed.
