On the edge of the Esgol Desert, there is a huge fortress that has been stretched very long, and above the fortress, there is a magical barrier made of countless enchantments to resist the magic bombardment from afar.

At the edge of the fortress, a sturdy middle-aged man in crimson armor scanned the battlefield below, and the figures like ants were fighting to the death.

Brilliant magic erupted on an already chaotic battlefield, and on the opposite side of the fortress was a huge steel warship.

Nix, a magical country formed by black people, is different from Hestifo in all seasons, this country has extremely high temperatures and harsh environments, although the forest coverage is far greater than that of Hestifo, but because of this, there are many more poisonous insects and beasts in Nixis than in some other countries.

The harsh environment is not suitable for human life, but if it does, the human race will become strong and terrifying.

The Nixians are dark-skinned and tall, physically much stronger than ordinary humans, and their natural living environment makes them familiar with the laws of the jungle, killing and hunting.

The expansion of desires has attracted a large number of demons to descend on this kingdom, making them sacrifice their lives and giving them great power to conquer.

And Hestifo, as a neighboring country, became their primary target.

The spread of war was often accompanied by hatred, bloodshed, and countless years of strife, which made the two kingdoms extremely bitter, and almost every few years, Nicos would start a major war.

But this year, the situation has changed subtly, and the originally peace-loving Hestifo has sent a large number of demon troops to guard the border area of Nix, which is undoubtedly the biggest provocation to this warlike country.

A big war, inevitable.

"General Ed, according to the report from the scouts from afar, the second fortress-class warship of Nixis is about to arrive, if we don't have any reinforcements, this war, our army is probably going to fall into a bitter battle!"

Behind the middle-aged man, another soldier in armor said with a solemn look in his eyes.

The middle-aged man who was observing the battle situation below frowned slightly, looked up at the sky in the distance, and said bitterly, "So far, where do we still have reinforcements? This place, after all, is not our homeland, and we can't have any advantage......

He turned his head and said to the soldier, "Tell me to go down, and after repelling this Bonikus army, the army will return to the defense and recuperate, and open the barrier to the maximum!"

"Yes!"

The soldier saluted respectfully, then ran quickly down the fortress, while Eddard set his eyes on a black man in half-armor at the bow of the ship.

"Colt, tell me, where did you get the new troops?"

A low murmur sounded in Ed's mouth, since the Wind Demon Queen Artira married the emperor, he became the supreme commander of the Border Demon Army, even if it was the order of the crown prince Miller, he did not have to obey it.

In the past twenty years, there have been no less than five major wars between the Majin and Nikos, the longest of which was fought for two years.

Ten years ago, the top general of the Nixes army was beheaded by Eddard himself, and in that war, Hestyford had the upper hand and defeated the Nix's army, and it was impossible to fully recover for at least twenty years.

Although Nikos later exhausted his resources and summoned a new eighth-order demon, it was not enough to make up for the huge gap in the strength of the two sides.

But now, Nikos is not only strong, but also has the ability to send a second warship.

Each fortress-level warship carries at least 10,000 troops, and two warships, even Nikos at its peak, are not capable of filling them completely, after all, not every human being is suitable for hosting demons.

Therefore, Ed concluded that there must be a powerful mysterious force supporting this country behind Nikos, but he did not dare to determine what kind of force it was.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I, the demons, have been loyal to Hestifo for generations, but don't let us down......"

In fact, when the emperor gave the order to move the army, Ed had doubts, for hundreds of years, the relationship between the demons and the royal family was not good, and coupled with the rebellion of Heather twenty-five years ago, this relationship fell to the freezing point, but loyalty, is the essence of the demon clan, as long as the emperor gives an order, whether it is right or wrong, it must be implemented first, and then questioned.

The Emperor's intentions were clear, but Ed was unwilling to admit it, and finally the army was mobilized, and today, after more than a month of defense, Nikos suddenly launched a war.

The remoteness of the border, coupled with the desert, the connection between Eddard's fortress and the edge of Hestifo has long been cut off, and Eddard did not know that the Emperor and the Majin clan were on the verge of breaking up, and until now, he only had doubts and could not get a definite answer.

Looking at the dead demon soldiers below, Ed's heart ached, the demon race is not large, the entire population of Hestifu is tens of millions, and the number of demons is only about 50,000, plus the perennial war, this number has not changed since ancient times.

Even though there are more dead soldiers on the other side, but people are selfish, Ed's eyes are moist, looking at the warship in front of him, he wants to ask, why start a war, is it really so difficult to live in peace?

Solve the remaining Nikos army like cutting leeks, and the demon army finally returned to defense, but Ed's war began at this moment.

At the edge of the warship in front, the black man who had been sitting there watching the killing below slowly got up, his dark face showed a strange smile, his slightly curly braids suspended behind his head, and his eyes were like poisonous snakes, looking at Ed coldly.

There was a deep fear in Eddard's eyes, he had had had a confrontation with the new general of Nicos three years earlier, this black man named Colt was far more powerful than the general he had killed ten years earlier.

He stretched out his hand and grasped it, and a red heavy sword that was the height of his chest slowly appeared, this was his exclusive magic weapon, and he had no room to spare in the face of such a powerful opponent.

"Ed!"

Colt shouted loudly, "The Great War three years ago has left me with endless memories to this day, your flame is full of destructive power, if you are willing to break away from Hestifo and join our command, I am willing to be friends with a strong man like you!"

Ed sneered and said, "Filthy demon, go back to your hell, don't come to this world to show off your might!"

"I gave you a chance......"

Colt chuckled, but in an instant his face became hideous, and a terrifying wave of magic rippled and collapsed the ground beneath the entire warship, and he said indifferently, "In that case, let's get started!"

Ed snorted, his legs bent slightly, and then leaped up like a cannonball, his fiery flame wings spread out in an instant, and swept into the middle of the battlefield in an instant.

And Colt's appearance is much weirder, under his body, a pool with a fishy smell appeared, engulfing his whole person, and the next moment, in the sky, another pool suddenly appeared, and the pitch-black liquid poured out, turning into Colt's appearance.

"Strange magic!"

Unlike the pure flame demon Eddard, Colt's magic power is dark and water, which happens to be restrained by Ed's magic power, and because of this, Colt, who was originally relatively weak in magic, was able to fight with Ed three years ago.

Holding the red heavy sword in his hand, the monstrous flames wrapped Eddard, and on his body, the same red heavy armor began to grow edges and corners, and a terrifying momentum erupted on his body.

"Urging the magic armor so quickly, it seems that you don't plan to catch up with me?"

The black man grinned, and the white Sensen's teeth set off the black skin, making him look a little funny, but the aura on his body was not as funny as his appearance.

Cold, lonely, and evil magic is like a tide, wave after wave, occupying half of the sky.

"Elemental magic, Flame Fury!"

"Dark magic, the maws of the abyss!"

The two spells were activated almost simultaneously, and the brilliant flames were like the wrath of the fire god, even though they were still hundreds of meters away from the ground, still scorching the ground red.

In front of Colt, a huge black mouth appeared, and the eruption of suction power devoured the energy of the flames without reservation.

Although both magic spells were of the seventh order, in the hands of the two of them, they were raised to the level of the eighth order, and with the collision between the two, the barrier in front of the fortress and the warship also cracked layer by layer and was regenerated.

"It seems that in a pure magic competition, you still have the upper hand. ”

In the eyes of others, the collision between the flames and the abyssal maw is evenly matched, but the two protagonists don't think so, Colt opens his right hand, and there is a faint smell of burnt smell coming out of his hand, it is obvious that in this fight, he has fallen into the disadvantage.

"But the game is just beginning. ”

Looking at the two magic that slowly dissipated, Colt smiled weirdly, and he muttered in a low voice, "Eighth Order Elemental Magic, Great Wave!"

Ed on the other side stared slightly, his eyes staring straight ahead, and he felt a terrifying magic that was converging.

When the dark purple magic array appeared, the dark clouds in the sky also began to dense, and the thick water element spread out, converging in the magic array.

As the wand in Colt's hand was raised, in front of the magic array, huge waves like a tsunami enlarged in Ed's pupils.

"Elemental magic, resist the ring of fire!"

"Elemental magic, flame enchantment!"

The two magic arrays went up and down, wrapping Ed tightly, and at the same time, on his battle sword, strange patterns gradually lit up, and the golden flame barrier became the third line of defense after the flame aura and the enchantment.

"Bang!"

The huge wave of water crashed against the barrier with a terrible pressure that was enough to drown everything, and a stream of hot white gas rose into the air, and the huge wave, which was a hundred meters thick, turned into steam in an instant.

Do you think that's the end of it? No, it's just the beginning.

After the first wave of attacks failed, the magic array flickered again, and an even larger wave of water poured towards Ed, and this time, Ed's first line of defense was completely annihilated.

"It seems that you have not wasted the past three years. ”

Two waves annihilated a defense, but Colt was not surprised at all, because the show had just begun.

After the second wave disappeared, the third and fourth waves broke through the flame barrier, and the magic didn't seem to dissipate.

Under Ed's stunned gaze, three more waves appeared at the same time, like three mountains, extinguishing the last line of defense in an instant.

By the moment the ring of fire shattered, Ed fled in embarrassment, not being hit by the most stressful sixth lane.

"Ed Bruce, the Flame Demon, that's it. ”

Looking at the somewhat embarrassed Ed, Colt smiled proudly, but when he saw the playful eyes of the middle-aged man, his smile couldn't help but stiffen.

The moment Ed straightened up, the water element that was originally permeated in the sky was swept away in an instant, and wisps of terrifying flames burned on him, and he mocked indifferently, "The new Lord General of Nikos, I would like to remind you that what the Demon Clan is best at is concealing magical power, and the Eighth-Order Demon is even better at ......"

"Hidden Magic Array!"

The last five words fell, Colt's pupils constricted into pinholes, and he felt that there was an extremely terrifying magic ripple around him, not just one, but five!

"Elemental magic, the Big Bang!"

Five identical magics sealed all of Colt's retreats, and the heavens and the earth were shrouded in the heat of the infinite limit.

"Ed, you despicable villain!"

All retreats were permeated by the terrible heat, and a trace of cold sweat ran down Colt's face, but evaporated in an instant, and he shouted in fear, only to be met with Ed's merciless taunts.

"It's not that with the strength of an eighth-order demon, you have the capital to fight against powerhouses of the same level. ”

Ed's eyes lowered and he said, "Colt, it's been one hundred and thirty years since I entered the eighth order, and the time I have participated in the battle is as long as four hundred years, this kind of accumulated experience is not comparable to you, who was just lucky enough to be chosen by the demon, and besides, this is a battlefield, and the soldiers are not tired of cheating, between life and death, despicable? If you can save your life after this time, I don't mind if you return this despicability to me." ”

Every time he said a word, the energy in the magic array went berserk, and when all his words were finished, five magic spells erupted at the same time.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

It was like a chain reaction, when the first explosion sounded, the other four followed, the terrifying heat wave easily broke the barrier of the two defenses, and Ed controlled the direction of the explosion, the huge warship comparable to the fortress was instantly reduced to wreckage, and one after another swarthy human figures rushed out of it, and a wail spread from below.

Ed has no mercy in his heart, as he said, on the battlefield, there is no need to be above board, and likewise, there is no need for this useless mercy.

The nearly 10,000-strong Nikos army was only a pitiful 3,000 people under the attack of the flames, and they looked in fear at Eddard who stood like a god of fire in the sky, for fear that the strongest demon on the battlefield would kill them all.

However, Eddard did not relax in the slightest because he had the upper hand, because he could feel that at the center of the magic explosion, there was a more terrifying, deeper dark consciousness, quietly awakening, and he knew that it was the real demon.

Life sacrifice, as the highest level of demon trade contract, is of course not as simple as simply obtaining the demon's body and strength.

In ancient times, life sacrifice also had another name, called life transformation, as the name suggests, it is to summon demons at the same time, use your body as an isotope marker, replace the body of the demon in hell, and control everything about the demon through a contract.

As the second party of the transaction, the demon will sleep in his body before the contract is completed, or before the death of Party A, until the human soul dies, the demon's soul will awaken, and take over the body again, devouring everything of the human being, including the soul and body, and even existence.

And if Party A falls into death before the contract is completed, then the demon must also fulfill his desire before he can return to Hell and devour Party A.

To put it simply, after the death of Colt as a human, the demon who traded with Colt will awaken, and at that time, Ed's battle will continue.

In fact, if you want to really kill the demon, as long as you wipe him out again before he fully controls the body, the demon will die directly, but sadly, Ed's magic window has not yet recovered, and now he can only watch the demon in front of him completely wake up.

"I've slept really long......"

Just as Ed was trying to recover his magic, the temperature of the flame dropped instantly, and a slight murmur came from the flames, which was not Colt's voice.

"Colt is such a piece of shit, and I was so optimistic about him in the first place. ”

The darkness was like a tide extinguishing a flame, and the figure of the black man appeared in front of Ed's eyes again, he squeezed his palm, looked at himself casually, and pouted, "Ugly appearance, you must fulfill your desires before you are alive to restore my perfect appearance, this transaction is really not worth it." ”

After a short period of adaptation, "Colt" looked at Ed, who was waiting for the battle, and laughed softly, "What you just said is very right, rich combat experience is indeed the key to victory, so the question is, respected Mr. Majin, can you defeat me with more combat experience?"

He saluted slightly, and there was not the slightest warmth in his cold smile, "The family of the Demon King of Rebellion, Duke Bajna of War, hereby invites Mr. Ed to fight with me. ”
