"Tirio, Windranger, it's you!" Orn's voice suddenly turned heavy when he saw the knight.

"Oh, dear Nack Kaz, I didn't expect to meet you on the grasslands of the northern frontier. You know, since I found a clue about you in the grassland, I have been chasing after you non-stop, almost sleeplessly, I want to see you so badly!" the knight spoke, his eyes flashed with a chilling light, and his face began to distort with excitement.

"I didn't expect to meet you here. Nack Kaz, who is alias Orn, snorted, reached out and took off the black mask covering his face, and said: "On this trip to the Northern Xinjiang Grassland, I did have something to do, so I dressed up in disguise, originally to avoid meeting acquaintances in the Northern Army, but I didn't expect to meet you in the end, so you can see through your identity!"

As the mask was removed, a face with a large nose was revealed.

This face looks very similar to the pig-faced people of the Pig Tribe, but on closer inspection, there are still many differences.

Nack's head was longer than the average Pyg, and its ears were not the same fan-like ears as are common among Pygs, but they were pointed, small, and erect. What is particularly unusual is that Nack's mouth has two protruding fangs on either side of his mouth, which are not protruding from the mouth of the average Pig.

Nack is a prick-backed boar man of the Pyg clan.

Among the orcs, the Peaks are the most populous race, but contrary to their strong reproductive abilities, their combat power is extremely low. As a result, in the Beamon Empire, the Legions of the Empire rarely listed the Pigs as a source of conscription. Even if these emperor ** regiments want to recruit the Pigs, they mostly let them take on the role of the head army and the porter of the army.

But that's just for the Pig-Faced People, who make up the vast majority of the Pig-Faced Population.

Among the Pigs, there is an outlier who is the favorite soldier of the Emperor's ** Regiment, and that is the Thornback Boar Man. Compared to their cowardly and timid relatives, the Pig-Faced People, the Boar People have a fierce personality and are natural warrior candidates. If it weren't for the fact that the Boar People were unexpectedly inferior in their reproductive ability compared to the Pig-Faced People, the Boar People would be enough to keep up with the five powerful tribes of Beamon, and even more so, if the Wild Boar People could survive like their relatives, they would even have the strength to become the number one powerful clan in Beamon.

Although the Boar People belong to a branch of the Pigs, they have always regarded themselves as warriors, but they are ashamed to be in the company of the Pig-faced People. They don't even identify with the Pigs by their name, instead calling themselves the Thornbacks. As for the meaning of the word thorn back, it comes from the spike-like mane on the back of the boar people.

"Tirio, how did you know I was in the Northern Grasslands?" Nack asked in a deep voice.

"A few days ago, while escorting a prisoner to the Sky Castle, I passed through one of our goblin tribes, where I met a wounded goblin. According to the guy, he was injured while robbing a mysterious masked man with his companions. He said that the mysterious masked man was very strong in martial arts, and that the goblins who went to rob not only did not succeed in the robbery, but were killed, and he saw that the situation was not good, so he secretly pretended to be dead and escaped by luck. During the conversation, he mentions that the mysterious masked man has a strangely shaped broadsword in his hand, and describes the shape of the broadsword, which points my suspicions at you. Later, I handed over the prisoner to the goblin tribe and asked them to escort the prisoner to the Sky Castle, and I hurriedly chased after him to see who this mysterious masked man was, but I didn't expect it to be you!" Three years ago, the knife wound you left here with me is unforgettable, if you have been staying in the territory of your orc Southern Army, I have no hope of revenge in this life, but I didn't expect you to come to the Northern Grassland alone, and now I finally have a chance!"

"Yes, you were my defeated man three years ago, and you are sure you will be able to defeat me today?" Nack said with a sneer, raising the serrated broadsword in his hand.

"Hmph, last time you bullied the widow, I was finally defeated, this time we fought one-on-one, I want to see who kills the deer!" Tirio drew his sword at his waist and shouted angrily.

Although Tirio is a human, he took refuge in the Hurricane King Olakiel early on, and is one of the three most relied on knights under the Hurricane King. Three years ago, another elemental monarch living in the southern part of the continent, the Wave Monarch, Nepturon, found a piece of Primordial Air. Originating Air is an elemental crystallization made from the concentration of a large number of air particles, and is an extremely valuable material for wind-based magic, and it is of little use to the Wave Monarch who cultivates water-based magic, but it is invaluable to the Hurricane King who relies on wind-based magic. When the Hurricane King received the news, he immediately sent Tirio south with a large amount of money to exchange it for Source Air from the Wave King. Later Tierry

On his way back, he was passing through Razor Ridge in the southern part of the Beamon Empire when he was suddenly attacked by more than a dozen robbers who demanded that he hand over the source air. Originally, Tirio was a ninth-level knight, not to mention a dozen robbers, even if there were dozens of more robbers, he would not take it seriously. But what he didn't expect was that this group of attacking robbers were all high-level warriors, and the robbers led by him were also ninth-level warriors like him.

Tirio was shocked, and in order to keep the source air on his body, he had to fight to the death with the bandits, but the robbers were too strong, and Tirio was not an opponent after all. Although he finally managed to escape with a bloody path, the source air was robbed by the robbers. During this battle, Tirio was struck in the chest by the bandit leader with a strangely shaped serrated broadsword, nearly losing his life.

The source air was lost, but Tirio didn't even know who the incoming enemy was, so he naturally didn't dare to go back to the Hurricane King like this. He lurked near Razor Ridge, recuperating from his injuries while searching for news and eventually learning the origins of the robbers who had robbed him of the vital air.

These robbers were all disguised as soldiers of the Beamon Empire stationed at Razor Ridge. And the bandit leader who slashed Tirio was not an unknown person, but a fierce general Nack Kaz, who enjoyed a great reputation in the entire southern army of the Beamon Empire.

When Tirio learned that his enemy was actually the behemoth of the Southern Army of the Beamon Empire, the idea of waiting for an opportunity to regain the source air suddenly died in his heart. He immediately returned to the north and told the Hurricane King exactly what had happened. When the Hurricane King learned what had happened, he was naturally furious, but he was helpless. Because although he is the top powerhouse on the continent, he can't compete with the Beamon Empire. Even if the matter of snatching the source air was done privately by the southern army of the Beamon Empire, it was impossible for the Hurricane King to sneak into the southern part of the Beamon Empire to retaliate, because once his whereabouts were exposed in the Beamon Empire, he would definitely be besieged by the Beamon Empire's Saint Rank powerhouses. You must know that the Beamon Empire has long regarded him as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, because as long as his Sky Fortress stands on the northern grassland for one day, it will be impossible for the Beamon Empire to achieve true and complete domination over the northern grassland.

The Hurricane King was forced to swallow the breath, and the matter was revealed.

Although Tirio was not severely punished for the loss of the source air, he remained obsessed with it. He also did not expect an unexpected encounter with his former enemy in the north three years later.

And the meeting of the two means that a battle will be inevitable.
