Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 453 Slightly Disadvantaged
"Naive!" Despite being surrounded by powerful figures, Ubigail remained undeterred, sneering, "If I were here alone, facing three legends like you, I would definitely get as far away as possible."

"But with the legendary undead dragon Gaines beneath my feet, two against three is at most a slight disadvantage. How do you think you can take me down?"

"This place is far too close to Gonda. My companions must have noticed this place long ago. If we delay them and they arrive, what chance do you have of winning?"

The undead bone dragon beneath its feet roared, its enormous form twisting in the sky. Its length alone was over a hundred meters, no less than that of Sersney.

This dragon was probably an adult blue dragon in its lifetime, not the bronze dragon that Sophia's mother was looking for, and no one knows where it came from.

In reality, Ubigail was lying. Her companions were still dealing with the remnants of the Holy Light in Gonda City, and even if they noticed the situation here, they wouldn't be able to get here in a short time.

Peya was anxious. She looked left and right. Although her own lineup was also very impressive, with a dragon knight and a legendary frost giant, the Lich King's power was undeniable.

She wanted to say something, but none of the bigwigs present spoke up, and she didn't dare to step forward.

Soon, Ubigail felt a sudden, inexplicable panic as a burst of clapping filled the air.

"That was a truly excellent speech." The lord clapped his hands, then asked with a smile, "But after all that, why haven't you made a move? Are you afraid? Did I hit the nail on the head? Why are you silent now?"

Ubigail fell silent, as if in acknowledgment.

"This guy is obviously just bragging!" The other person's guilty look made Peiya realize what was going on, and she sneered viciously, "Yeah, why don't you just make a move? Come and grab me? I'm right here waiting for you! If you have the guts, come and kill me. I almost forgot, you're a living dead, and I bet even your thing is full of bugs!"

Having been chased around by the other side, Peiya had been seething with anger. Now that someone was backing her up, she stood directly behind the lord, hands on her hips, and mocked him mercilessly, laughing heartily.

These words made the young Mir blush, while the older Li Wei didn't react at all.

"Silence?" The Lich King suddenly raised his head, forcing a dry laugh through his stiff face. "I'm waiting to cast a spell. What are you waiting for?"

The staff in its hand suddenly shone brightly, condensing into a pale, eerie skull the size of a small mountain. It cleaved through the snow and wind, crashing down from the sky towards Lagras. The skull's jaws snapped open and closed repeatedly, as if it wanted to crush the frost giant.

At the same time, the azure lightning breath that had been accumulating in the throat of the undead bone dragon finally burst forth.

Arcs of electricity crackled within, and even from a great distance, Mir felt his hair stand on end. Wherever it passed, all the snowflakes instantly evaporated, and even the space itself seemed to groan under the weight, forming a thick, winding path of lightning that headed straight for the lord on the mountaintop and Sersni, Mir, and Peya beside him.

"Watch out!" Peya cried out in alarm. The breath of a legendary dragon could easily destroy a small town, and even giants would not choose to take it head-on.

"Li Wei, forgive me for no longer playing along with you. Now is not the time to confront you." Ubigail sneered. It didn't believe that these two moves could kill these people. They were just buying time for it to escape.

Li Wei remained expressionless. Seeing the dragon's breath rushing towards him, he didn't even move. The "Remipusia's Blessing" he had already cast collided with the dragon's breath, creating a burst of electric arcs that resembled dragons and snakes dancing and a wave of elemental explosion.

"Obi-Slachi! He took a dragon's breath head-on?!" Paia's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and her jaw almost dropped into the snow.

This was the first time Paya had seen the lord take action, and the first time she had realized just how formidable this dragon knight truly was.

This is a great opportunity! You absolutely have to hold on tight!
She made up her mind.

Li Wei thought this guy was so confident that he could really catch all his accomplices in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect him to be an even more boastful person than him.

Unfortunately, before he could make a move, a furious roar burst forth from the flying bone fragments.

"You've offended Lord Li Wei and you think you can just leave?"

Before he could finish speaking, Lagrass stomped his massive foot, which resembled a small fortress, on the ground.

Boom!

The snow mixed with frozen soil shot into the sky like a fountain.

Its massive body was not clumsy, but rather it unleashed a terrifying speed completely disproportionate to its size. Its form continued to grow larger in the snow and ice until it reached a height of over sixty meters, like an iceberg carrying a white storm, and it crashed into the undead bone dragon that was about to fly away!

"You reckless frost barbarian!" Ubigail's soul fire flared wildly, filled with shock and rage.

It didn't expect the other party to attack so suddenly and so aggressively!

The Soul Gem at the top of the skeletal staff in its hand shone brightly, and a gray, decaying spell shot out like a venomous snake, aiming straight for Ragras's massive head.

Lagrass let out a deafening roar. Without even dodging, its massive right fist, covered in icicles and rock-like muscles, slammed into the spell with a terrifying, tearing sound.

laugh!
The spell struck the giant fist, producing a piercing sound like strong acid corroding rock, and black smoke rose into the air.

But Lagras's fist only had its surface ice crystals turn slightly black, and its speed did not decrease at all.

The reason why giants can become top-tier magical creatures on par with dragons is not only because of their unparalleled strength, but also because of their superior magic resistance.

This is a gift bestowed upon them by the Creator.

Ragras grinned maliciously. His giant fist, which had just shattered the necromancy's curse magic and only showed slight signs of corrosion, slammed down like a battering ram with an overwhelming ferocity towards the bone dragon's massive head, which was burning with soulfire.

"No!" Ubigail cried out as it watched this scene, frantically waving its scepter in an attempt to cast a spell to save the day.

But it's too late!

Lagras's massive fist, carrying enough power to shake mountains, slammed solidly into the bone dragon's skull.

boom!
A terrifying, teeth-grinding crash, like a giant glass vessel being struck by a heavy hammer, instantly drowned out the howling wind and snow.

Before the pure, violent power of Lagras, the undead bone dragon's incredibly hard skull was reduced to countless pale, large and small bone fragments that scattered like hailstones.

With immense force, its massive body crashed uncontrollably into the ground, creating a trench a kilometer or two long through the earth with a series of loud thuds.

In a single encounter, the frost giant leader knocked a powerful undead bone dragon into the ground with his bare hands in the most primitive and violent way.

The moment the skull was struck, Ubigail transformed into a plume of black smoke carrying a thick aura of death, narrowly escaping the edge of Lagras's punch and hovering in mid-air.

It looked down at the massive bone dragon embedded in the ground, its soul fire flickering violently, filled with boundless rage.

"Can we still leave now?" Li Wei asked with a smile, looking at the Lich King a few hundred paces away.

These frost giants, which appear to be only ten meters or so tall, are actually just a form they take to conserve energy; real giants are often close to a hundred meters tall.

Otherwise, how could they compete with dragons? This can be considered natural selection, a result of adapting to the elemental tides.

Lagras is a true antiquity, having lived for at least several thousand years, and cannot be regarded as an ordinary legend.

Not to mention that dragons don't become stronger when they become undead; in fact, they become weaker. So it's not hard to understand why it's easy to deal with an undead dragon.

The reason they seem so weak is simply because they encountered the illogical Lord.

Dozens of frost giants immediately rushed over, using their innate frost magic to condense thick ice chains, which swarmed forward and bound the still-shaking undead dragon into a tight knot, even its mouth was thoughtfully wrapped to prevent it from breathing.

No matter how much the undead dragon struggled, it could not escape the immense force of dozens of frost giants holding onto the ice chains.

As a top-tier magical creature, dragons are treasures from head to toe. Although this undead dragon is now just a skeleton, even its bones can be used to forge various magical weapons.

Ubigail was both shocked and furious. In the blink of an eye, she had lost a dead dragon on her side. The frost giant on the other side was indeed too powerful.

It never expected that its journey from chasing two small insects would turn into a sudden and overwhelming defeat for it. This dramatic turn of events was hard for it to accept.

"Still not surrendering? I'm already sparing your life on purpose. My patience is finite." Li Wei stared straight at the Lich King in the sky, his tone icy.

He did have a slight idea of ​​recruiting the Lich King as a slave, because it represented an inexhaustible army.

It's important to understand that the expeditionary force is currently locked in a stalemate with the devil in the Persian Gulf, but it's simply not worthwhile to outmaneuver the devil.

The abyss is endless, and no one knows how many layers it has, nor do the demons within.

Every soldier who dies in the expeditionary force is one less to go, but the demons don't care about such losses at all.

However, if the Lich King were brought along, the other side could easily transform the dead demons into undead creatures, causing the two sides to fight like dogs.

Then the warriors of Gaoyabao can stand aside and gain experience without taking any damage.

The system's experience is accumulated in two ways: the more people you kill, the more experience you gain, and this is the main factor.

Another method is to calculate experience after each battle, with everyone receiving an average of the experience gained. The amount of experience gained depends on the size of the battle.

As a master at exploiting loopholes, the lord has always been trying to find flaws in the system.

He was naturally very willing to do something that was effortless and flattering.

The only downside is that recruiting a Lich King might affect his reputation, but compared to the benefits, that reputation is nothing.

Li Wei's gaze was cold, so cold that even Ubigail, who was no longer affected by temperature, felt a chill to the bone.

Ragras, standing to the side, had a dangerous look in its eyes. If Livy hadn't stopped it, it would have already blasted the Lich King to smithereens.

Although the Lich King is legendary, he is extremely poor in one-on-one combat. What makes them truly powerful is their ability to summon undead scourges and to transform powerful beings into undead creatures after their deaths.

So after the undead dragon's defeat, anyone who hasn't been eaten by goblins knows what to choose.

“I surrender…I surrender…” So Ubigail wisely threw away the bone staff in her hand and raised her hands.

Clearly, this Lich King cherished his life, though the exact number of living people he had turned into undead was unknown.

"Kneel!" Lagras looked at the prisoner, grinned, and made him do everything he had just endured.

Forced by circumstances beyond her control, Ubigail knelt before the lord at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people.

Since it's already died once, it's complete nonsense to say it has any self-esteem.

"What's your name? Where are you from? What do you do?" Li Wei asked in a bureaucratic tone as soon as he opened his mouth.

“Ubigail, a Debeite.” The Lich King said somewhat aggrievedly. The other party clearly looked down on it, as if it couldn’t be bothered to remember the name that had already been mentioned.

"I'm very curious, how did you manage to turn Gonda into what it is today?"

"Speak quickly!" Peiya, who had been keeping her head down and silent, acted fiercely, like a fox in sheep's clothing.

"Heh." Ubigail chuckled dryly, but the result was even uglier and more horrifying than if she hadn't laughed at all, which drew disgust from the two beauties: "Li Wei, you're too arrogant. You'll pay the price for your arrogance sooner or later."

"Still dare to talk back!" Lagras was very good at reading people's expressions, and immediately flew into a rage. It shrank a lot and slapped it.

The Lich King's face visibly sank in.

Although the Lich King is a mage, his physical body is not weak either, but it depends on who he is compared to. In front of Ragnaros, he is not much tougher than an ordinary person.

Not everyone who has died once is immune to the fear of death. On the contrary, it is precisely because he has died once that Ubigail is terrified of his consciousness sinking into eternal darkness.

It became increasingly docile.

"You caused this heavy snow, didn't you? Did you use the Titan Diamond? How exactly did you capture Gonda City? Were all those powerful figures inside dead? And what happened to the Holy Light Church people?"

Li Wei asked four questions in a row.

Actually, his main concern was for Fatil, but he didn't want to ask directly. After all, their relationship was still far from settled, and being too concerned would probably cause a lot of jealousy in Gaoyabao.

As for the common people? As a true son of China, he occasionally worries about the country and its people, but once the fact has been established that everyone in Gonda has become an undead, he will not devote too much energy to it.

At most, they'll kill those Lich Kings to avenge the innocent civilians.

“That’s right, the Titan Diamond is in our hands.” Ubigail didn’t hesitate and quickly delivered the news that sent a chill down Lagras’s spine.

"These frost giants must be here to retrieve the Ring of Ice and Water, right?" The Lich King looked at Ragnaros. "I don't know how you and this human reached a deal, but I can cooperate with you in the same way. How about we use the Ring of Ice and Water as a condition for our cooperation?"

This little scoundrel dares to sow discord right in front of the lord.
