The Black Mountain Fortress is not just a checkpoint or a stronghold as most people think, it is a fortress, but it is also a huge city, the Northern Army has been guarding here for more than a hundred years, and has turned this fortress into a heart that they can be proud of and fight.

It is the center of the northern region, not only a strategic center, but also a commercial center, it is like a giant beast firmly entrenched in the Black Mountain Pass, isolating the cold of the north from the warm zone of the south, where countless trade routes pass by, and the daily taxes collected on the passage alone can sustain a third of the northern legions.

It's not just about strategy, it's about the economy, so that's why the Noxians chose to garrison the Principality of Roses after they conquered it.

Although it was still cold outside the fortress at the moment, a wonderful performance was going on in the arena of the fortress, and the tall figure of the commander of the fortress, Sein, sat silently on the high platform in the arena, like a statue, in stark contrast to the guys who were shouting feverishly in the arena below.

Gladiator, a sport that has been practiced on the continent for thousands of years, is hard to imagine the love of warlike Noxians for this ancient recreational sport.

The spectators craned their necks to look into the arena, shouting excitedly and obliviously.

"Alista, Alista!"

Standing in the center of the arena, the Minotaur gladiator Alista looked around, unable to understand why these Noxians were so fanatical about him at this time, and so fierce on the battlefield to him and his people.

But, it didn't matter, he had a blood feud with these Noxians, and Alista wanted to break out of this cage right now and rush to the crowd in the stands to kill all sides.

But it won't be easy. At the moment, he is just a gladiator who amuses these people.

He still has to endure and wait, he believes that fate will always give enough preferential treatment to those who are patient, and he will have a chance.

Alista's huge eyes swept over the stands with no expression, as if to memorize the names of everyone on them, and hatred burned in his heart until he looked around and finally met a pair of eyes that seemed to be burning on the highest platform.

"Interesting! A Minotaur gladiator! ”

A voice in the stands laughed, as if seeing a fun game.

The guards next to him came up to unshackle Alista's hands, neck, and feet, looked at Alista's huge size, moved his hands and feet, and then handed him a shield and a large sword, but such a large sword looked like a dagger on the unusually tall minotaur.

Someone in the stands noticed this and laughed:

"Look at his thighs, how majestic, look at his arms, almost as thick as the pillars."

"Damn, at least you should give him a tomahawk to take advantage of."

Someone shouted.

"Do you want him to take a toothpick and fight people?"

"Bastard, change his weapon or I'll kill you,"

"Yes!"

"Give him a weapon."

"We both love the Minotaur Chieftain, and he earned me five gold coins last time!"

“……”

Amid the roaring shouts from the stands, Alista finally saw his enemy, a dragon on the ground! With a huge mouth open, it pounced on him...... The huge fangs, the smelly mouth......

No - I don't want to die! I want to live!

I'm going to defeat every enemy here.

I want revenge!

Alista gasped for breath, her massive nose spewing hot air, and raised her tomahawk to meet it.

Bang!

Blood bursts!

The battle has officially begun!

The Minotaur confronts an earth-walking dragon!

The mightiest gladiators face off against the greatest beasts.

Rough, bloody! The most passionate collision in history!

The spectators in the stands instantly reached a climax!

And on the high platform, the flames in those dark eyes were even hotter and more crazy.

A voice came from the darkness behind him:

"Savile almost died...... This idiot! ”

"Not only did he not stop the dwarves from coming out of the ground, but he even lost almost all of the Imperial mages in the fortress, damn it, why didn't he kill himself too? In this way, I also saved more reports to the above, and I have done it all at once. He ruined the Empire's setup in Montenegro, bastard! I'll see how he should explain it to His Excellency. ”

Sein didn't speak, and the situation was a little weird, which made the man speak more like he was talking to himself.

………………………………

"Confess! Explain what? ”

"I'm almost dead!"

"Who's going to give me an account?"

"Why hasn't anyone told me about that Arthur's strength, no, he's by no means some bullshit genius, he's not! At that moment, the attack he launched, the magic weapon in his hand, it was an artifact, yes, that damn one had an artifact in his hand...... Just a moment, just a moment, all the people died, the whole sky was under enemy attack, the attack was everywhere, no one could escape...... I've never seen anything like that...... What is that? That's the legendary divine punishment, do the gods really exist? Is he really the embodiment of some god, as some people say? ”

Returning to the fortress, Saville angrily explained to someone in the Imperial Capital through the magic crystal and described the battlefield to the other party.

His expression turned pale from the memory of that moment, and an inadvertent fear flashed across his face.

The other party really couldn't stand the expression on his face, and tried to stop Savile's more and more outrageous speculation:

"No, calm, calm! Saville, are you crazy? You shouldn't be like this, you're a high-ranking mage of the empire anyway, you're a high-ranking ...... the empire"

"But damn it, I almost died there," Savile brutally interrupted the questioning, "No, really, believe me, you didn't really face that moment, you wouldn't know that fear......"

Poor Saville.

………………………………………

At the same time, the combined forces of Arthur and the dwarves of Montenegro were intensifying, and the dwarves were coming out of the gloomy region to prepare for an attack, and Sebastian volunteered to speak in his place to the nobles who might join them.

"I can bring you at least five hundred soldiers, oh no, a thousand, all the best warriors." Sebastian, who had decided that his next step would be to attack the Montenegrin fortress, was excited. Even more excited than Arthur, the main master.

And Arthur himself, on the contrary, had nothing to do, he took Daji and sneaked into the mountain peak near the Black Mountain Fortress, looking at the city in the distance from a distance, feeling the vigorous vitality in the city:

"What a beautiful city!"

"There are many people out there......"

"Yes! That's right. Daji knew exactly what Arthur meant, and she continued, "That's too—a lot of souls! ”
