Curse be it.

He should have summoned those wizards from the magic association s branch.

Mos had nearly resolved to retreat as they had no effective means to counter the elemental beings.

Yet upon seeing Cole Jia and Lu Yao appear ahead, a smile returned to his face.

Why should he concern himself with these elemental beings? Why not simply eliminate these otherworldly lords instead? Eliminate these foreign tribes.

Boom! Behind Mo, several fireballs descended from the sky, forming a silhouette accompanied by several flame spirits.

Meanwhile, the ground began to stir as stone and earth coalesed into a humanoid figure, none other than Lyn Jan and Shir Yao, who had encircled from behind.

Lyn Jan s lower body transformed entirely into flames and he conjured two fireballs in his hands.

With flames erupting beneath him, he surged forward like a cannonball towards one of the soldiers.

Lyn Jun pounced on the soldier, dragging him from his steed and pinning him down with both hands.

The searing flames swiftly melted two large holes in the soldier's armor, and in an instant, the soldier was consumed by the fire, losing all vitality.

Unperturbed be this is the strength of the foremost lords.

They can effortlessly deal with these lower tier commanding soldiers.

Yet our cold gia as a distinguished lord of elemental beings finds his frost magic ineffective.

Astonishingly he dons frost armor and engages in hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers wielding dual wolf claws.

Although bolstered by his melee gear, not everyone is born a fighter.

cold as armor bears several scratches inflicted by the sword of the soldier before him.

Were it not for his protective gear, he could hardly fathom how many times he might have been wounded.

Even a nearby Lu Yao is taken aback by cold gia s audacity.

A mage charging in a melee with warriors.

Chapter 110.

Absolutely not the scapegoat.

How embarrassing.

Shir Yao and Lyn Jan had already dealt with three or four opponents, and even Lu Yao was able to subdue her adversaries.

Why was it that I couldn't defeat even a single one? Lia had successfully distanced himself from the enemy with a spell of melting snow.

So, you want to force me to unleash my ultimate move, do you? Winter is coming.

Lung J spread his arms wide, his hands covering two magic circles which rapidly expanded to form a barrier, enveloping the three soldiers before him.

Within the confines of the barrier, countless massive ice crystals rained down, crashing upon the soldiers.

The ground centered around Lia began to freeze swiftly in all directions.

However, just as it was about to cover the entire barrier, Lia felt his magical energy deplete.

The three soldiers were only frozen up to their legs, while the upper halves remained mobile enough to block the descending ice crystals, preventing their frozen bodies from being shattered.

This was rather awkward.

I had overexerted my magic earlier.

Lua, please let me a hand.

In an instant, countless vines erupted from beneath the ice at the soldiers feet, and snaring them.

Stripped of their ability to resist, the soldiers were ultimately vanquished by Lia magic.

Brother Lungja, you're so short on magic.

Lu Yao remarked.

Although Lung Ji understood she was referring to his depleted mana, it still felt somewhat off seeing that their opponent Mo was still trying to escape despite being overwhelmed.

He was blocked by Lin Jan and Shir Yao while his horse's legs sank deep into the mud, rendering it immobile.

The force surrounded Mo.

And as Long Jia observed that the adversary was now left with only one, stripped of any power to resist, he was about to inquire why they had attacked them.

However, he quickly deemed that question foolish and opted for a different approach.

What brings you here in this desolate placemos? Among the four, Shir Yao was rather simple-minded.

Lyn Jan maintained an aloof demeanor.

And as for Lu Yao, her thought process was rather unconventional.

leaving Long Jia to take the lead in the inquiry.

Although Mo was uncertain about what Lung Jia meant by desolate place, he grasped the latter part of the question.

Realizing he was under pressure, he knew that failing to cooperate would likely lead to his demise.

speaking honestly might offer him a glimmer of hope as it was not classified information pertaining to the empire.

Mo pondered for merely a fraction of a second before grasping the stakes and promptly responded.

A human village near the imperial border has been slaughtered.

We were ordered to investigate the cause of their deaths.

Brother Shir, did you kill them? Lu Yao immediately turned to Shir Yao.

Shir Yao shook his head.

This was his first encounter with the local humans.

Seeing Shir Yao's denial, Lunk Jet naturally chose to trust his ally.

Furthermore, even if Shir Yao were responsible, it mattered little.

Where's that village? Lung J inquired of Mo as he surely possessed some valuable intelligence.

The village is located at the juncture of the frigid snow mountains and the desolate plains, some distance from here, Mo replied candidly.

So, you believe we are from another race, which is why we slaughter these humans? Lu Yao exclaimed, a look of realization dawning upon her.

Mo could only nod helplessly in agreement.

Cold Jia fell into deep contemplation, and after a brief moment, as if struck by inspiration, he raised his head to signal Ling Jun and Shir Yao.

While Shir Yao was still grappling with cold gs intent, Lyn Jan comprehended immediately, unleashing a pillar of fire that pierced through MoS chest.

Shir Yao and Lu Yao looked at Lyn Jan with expressions of confusion, their minds swirling with questions.

Wait, we had even finished asking why did you kill him? Lyn Jan, faced with their bewildered gazes, could only express his helplessness as he turned to Cold Jia, silently pleading for an explanation.

Don't worry, sure go Lumé.

It was I who instructed Brother Lynn to carry out this act.

Cold Jia interjected.

As you all are aware, my former castle is situated not far from the frigid snow mountain.

The trio turned their attention to Cold Jia, eager for him to elaborate.

There are two formidable lords at top the snowcapped heights, as I have previously mentioned, one a necromancer and the other a vampire lord.

Both possess the alarming ability to transform corpses into their minions.

Although I have never encountered the vampire, I have heard tales that lord has completely severed ties with humanity.

As for the necromancer, I have witnessed her reanimate the corpse of a magic wolf.

As Cole Gia concluded, a flicker of astonishment danced across the faces of his companions.

Goodness, does this imply that the village was likely their doing? Lu Yao, feeling rather astute, swiftly articulated the pivotal concern.

Moreover, the fact that these lords have clashed with cold gia upon the snowcapped heights indicates that their castle is nearby, aligning perfectly with the location described by the human regarding the frigid snow mountain and the desolate plains.

Lynhun analyzed thoughtfully.

Ah, brother Lynn, you are so clever.

I can't believe I didn't te think of that.

Lu Yao exclaimed, though Ling Jun paid no heed to her flattery and continued, we have become scapegoats in this situation.

This cannot stand.

If the Gatada Empire comes seeking retribution, it would spell trouble.

We must devise a plan to locate those two lords and shift the blame onto them.

Cold Jia felt a twinge of frustration, lamenting the unfortunate turn of events so soon after relocating.

Cold Jia, Shir Yao, you two are more familiar with this area.

I entrust this task to you, Ling declared.

Kia and Shir Yao understood that not only would Lin Jan s flame spirit be significantly hampered on the snow-covered slopes, but his own strength would also be greatly diminished, making it impractical for him to assist.

Meanwhile, Lu Yao felt a pang of disappointment, inwardly seething, "What about me? Why was I not mentioned? I am quite capable, too.

" With their roles defined, two to investigate and two to guard their home.

They resolved not to endure the unprovoked calamity of the day.

Upon returning to the castle, Lu Yao, feeling idle, recounted the day as events to another forsaken ally, Wrath of the Storm.

Wrath of the Storm, upon hearing the news, was nearly overwhelmed with excitement, almost prompting an immediate relocation.

Yet the necessity of strengthening his position in the Wild Wolf Valley held him back.

As night fell, Xiaoa s dwarves completed the final batch of ordinary equipment procured before the beast tied, totaling 11,600 pieces, which by you promptly listed on the trading platform.

Previously, ordinary equipment that had fallen to five magic crystals has now decreased further, now costing only four magic crystals each, with raw materials also plummeting to three magic crystals.

Bayou has become indifferent to this.

After all, she is acquiring magic crystals at a single unit, and no matter the circumstances, she incurs no loss.

She patiently awaits the sale of these items, pondering who still relies on crafting equipment for profit.
