Demon Frontier Fortress.
Noggs held a two-meter long sword in both hands, and the blade pointed directly at the neck of a Chaos Demon who fell on the ground.
"Next."
Noggs withdrew the blade, and the Chaos Demon retreated to the back with his weapon in dismay.
It's a very traditional activity in a frontier fortress, or... the only form of entertainment.
That is the sword fighting competition. Any soldier in the frontier fortress has the right to challenge Nogus, but since Nogus stood in the center of this arena, no one has defeated him in swordsmanship.
The surrounding Demon Soldiers hesitated for a moment when they heard Noggs' voice, and suddenly a girl in commoner walked out of the crowd.
"What are you doing here?" The expression on Noggs' face instantly turned terrifying.
"I just wanted to try it out."
This girl named Agata from the Land of Frost has a peaceful smile on her face.
Noggs has always believed that human beings are cowardly creatures. On the battlefield, they will be scared to the point of collapse because of the power of the demons, and even some soldiers will use some despicable means in order to survive.
But this human girl is not afraid of demons at all. Noggs kept her by his side for the original spar she held. He wanted to make her recognize her position as a slave, but she would count The first time he did something that gave Noggs a headache.
Nogus had also thought of executing the girl like other humans, but there was a voice in Nogus's heart that stopped him.
When Agata walked into the circle in the middle of the crowd with his long sword, the soldiers onlookers also shouted similar cheers.
In the past month, this human girl has helped the demons a lot, including helping those evil karma demons who are covered in blood to take a bath.
A small number of demons in the fortress have recognized this brave girl.
Noggs glanced around with terrifying eyes, and the cheering voice stopped abruptly.
Without a word, he resumed the most basic posture of swordsmanship, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, and leaning the blade against his left shoulder.
Agata also put on a fighting posture. She charged at the opponent with a long sword of the same length as Noggs. The two long swords intertwined with each other and burst into bright sparks. of cracking.
Her swordsmanship was no match for Noggs at all. After less than three consecutive rounds of fighting, Noggs directly swung the weapon in his hand to fly away the weapon in the opponent's hand.
"Stand up, this is not where you should be."
Noggs handed the long sword to the knight walking out from the other side, and said while looking at Agata who was sitting on the ground.
Agata obediently stood up from the ground, patted the dust behind him and followed Noggs.
The atmosphere along the way was a little dull.
"Are you angry?" Agata took the initiative to break the silence and whispered to the tall Chaos Demon beside him.
This sentence made Noggs stop, he pulled out the saber from his waist instantly, and stabbed Agata in the cheek when Agata had no time to react.
The light golden hair slowly fell as the blade slid across.
Noggoth's sword pierced through Agata's long hair and into the wall behind her...
A normal person would have trembled with fear the moment he saw Noggs drawing his sword, but Noggs could not find any fearful expression on the face of this human girl.
"If you want to live." Noggs drew out the long sword that pierced the wall behind him and stared at her. "Don't ask unnecessary questions."
Nogus had never met such a tricky human girl, and in the beginning Nogus kept her on the grounds that "I need her original hedron that can sing".
But this reason disappeared half a month ago when Qiao Xiu passed him a "elf poem" that he could listen to directly on the magic net.
So Noggs was able to execute this human being logically, but he found that every time he thought of this, his heart would be very irritable.
And Noggs also found a reason for himself, that is, "maybe he treats this human as a pet".
Noggs ignored the human girl and walked straight towards the city wall. His personal guard, Chaos Demon Phyllis, had been waiting for him at the city wall for a long time.
Noggs climbed the frontier fortress wall all the way, standing on the city wall can see the raging frost and snow outside the frontier fortress.
The cold wind calmed his turbulent mood.
"Blizzard... hasn't it subsided yet?"
Nogus said, looking out over the frost-covered cold wind plain.
"Are you worried, Your Highness?" Phyllis was keenly aware of the abnormality in Noggs' voice.
"Worrying... The blizzard blocking the footsteps of the human army is a good thing for the demon world, but it's a bit of a disappointment for me."
Noggs looked at the gauntlet covering his hand, which was covered with marks of various swords.
It was this time of year when Noggs would have led his armies to war against the humans on the Coldwind Plains, a war of blood and blades.
The demons stationed in the frontier fortress spent a whole year preparing for this day.
However, this year's blizzard has not seen the momentum to dissipate, and the human troops that should have been overwhelming the realm have also disappeared.
This is definitely something to celebrate for the entire Demon World, which gives them enough time to prepare.
But such a long rest period made Noggs feel a little... at a loss.
Not only Noggs, but also the other demons in the frontier fortress.
This fortress was built to defend against foreign enemies. The soldiers are in a state of preparation all year round. Only the battlefield is the place he is most familiar with. If he is on the battlefield now, he will not encounter so many complexities. thing.
"Phyllis, can you imagine that this long war will end one day?" Nogus suddenly thought of the girl from the Land of Frost again, and then asked the guard beside him.
"I can't imagine it, Your Highness." Phyllis answered almost without thinking.
"I can imagine that my brother told me that the real enemy is the Inquisition from the Holy Land, but we have been at war with that country called Frost for more than seventy years, and hatred has long been accompanied by The blood on the blade is accumulating layer by layer, so if this war wants to end, either the country called Frost will be destroyed, or the frontier fortress will be breached by those humans." Nogus said in a low voice. .
At this moment, a messenger in the fortress came to Kneeling behind Noggs.
"His Royal Highness, the third prince, Qiao Xiu, sent his attendant a gift."
"Gift?"
Since the last trip to the royal city, Noggs has never dared to regard his younger brother as a "child who still needs protection".
In the past month, Noggs learned through the magic net of what Joshua had done in the human city of Nolan, even if he thought about it now, it would be unbelievable.
The Leyline provides Noggs with an excellent means of obtaining human intelligence, as well as a remote communication magic called SMS.
As a qualified general, Noggs clearly understands how useful text messages can be on the battlefield.
Noggs immediately led his bodyguards to the warehouse where the backup supplies were stored in the fortress, where any items would be stored before entering the fortress.
On the way to the warehouse, Noggs passed a garden, which was originally a barren flat area in the fortress, but since the arrival of the human girl Agata, she began to grow hardy flowers here.
Noggs crossed the garden to the back-up warehouse, where a sinful demon named Zenas had been waiting for a long time.
There is no cumbersome etiquette between the demons, and the sinful demon directly took out a raw spar inlaid with the leaves of the World Tree.
Magic power was injected into the original spar, and in Noggs' eyes, a moving "painting" appeared on the wall in front of him.
This painting is not the somewhat childish Beauty and the Devil that Noggs had seen in the Weave before, it is a war depicted in the painting!
"His Royal Highness Prince Sheil led the people and the army into the castle controlled by the judge. What happened tonight is destined to be remembered in history."
A low voice introduced everything that happened in the picture.
Nogus only saw the firelight, the firelight formed by the torches held by countless humans, and the torches they held set the imperial capital of the Kingdom of Frost on fire.
"When did this happen?" Noggs looked at the picture above and asked the demon of sin in disbelief.
"Three days ago," said the evil karma demon.
"Three days ago..."
Seeing the "King" of the Land of Frost in the picture, Noggs was sent to the execution platform, and his mood was very complicated.
The city that he dreamed of leading the army of the demons to conquer, but fell into the hands of a group of humans!
There was only one thought in Noggoth's mind at this moment, that the old Frostland was really... destroyed.
