Demon Frontier Fortress.

Nogs held a two-meter-long sword in both hands, and the blade was pointed directly at the neck of a Chaos demon who had fallen to the ground.

"Next."

Nogs withdrew his sword, and the Chaos Demon retreated a little discouraged with his weapon.

It's a very traditional activity in a border fortress, or... The only way to have fun.

It was a sword fight, and any soldier in the border fortress had the right to challenge Noggs, but since Nogus stood in the middle of this gladiatorial arena, no one had beaten him in swordsmanship.

The surrounding demon soldiers hesitated for a moment at Noggs' voice, and suddenly a girl in a cloth dress walked out of the crowd.

"What are you doing here?" The expression on Noggs' face instantly became terrifying.

"I just wanted to give it a try."

This girl from the land of frost named Agata has a quiet smile on her face.

Nogs has always believed that humans are cowardly creatures, and they will collapse in fear on the battlefield because of the strength 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, and Nogs kept her by her side for the protospar she held, trying to make her realize her position as a slave, but she will do things that give Nogus a headache several times.

Nogs had also thought about executing the girl like any other human, but there was a voice in Noggs' heart that stopped him.

As Agata walked into the circle in the center of the crowd with his sword, the soldiers around him shouted a voice similar to cheering.

In the past month, this human girl has helped the demons a lot, including helping those sinful demons who are covered in the smell of blood to bathe.

There are already a small number of demons in the fortress who have recognized this brave girl.

Nogus glanced around with a terrifying look, and the cheering voice stopped abruptly.

Without saying a word, he reastook the most basic posture of swordsmanship, grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, and leaned the blade against his left shoulder.

Agata also took a fighting stance, and she rushed at the other with a longsword of the same length as Noggs, and the two longswords intertwined with each other and burst into brilliant sparks, further cracking the already cracked ground.

Her swordsmanship was no match for Noggs at all, and after less than three rounds of continuous fighting, Noggs directly swung the weapon in his hand and picked off the opponent's weapon.

"Stand up, this is not where you should be."

Nogs handed the sword to the knight who walked out on the other side, looked at Agata who was sitting on the ground and said.

Agata obediently stood up from the ground, patted the dust behind him, and followed Noggs.

The atmosphere along the way was somewhat dreary.

"Are you angry?" Agata took the initiative to break the silence and whispered to the tall Chaos Demon beside him.

This sentence caused Nogus to stop, and he instantly drew the saber at his waist and stabbed Agata in the cheek before he could react.

Light blonde hair slowly fell as the blade slashed.

Noggs' longsword slashed through Agata's long hair and stabbed into the wall behind her...

If it were a normal person, he would have trembled with fear the moment he saw Nogus draw his sword, but Nogus could not find any fear on the face of this human girl.

"If you want to live." Nogus drew his sword and stabbed into the wall behind him, staring at her, "Don't ask extra questions. ”

Nogus had never met such a tricky human girl, and at first Nogus was able to keep her on the grounds that 'I need her singing primordial crystal'.

But this reason had disappeared half a month ago when Qiao Xiu passed on a 'fairy poem' that he could listen to directly on the magic web.

So Noggs could have executed this human as a matter of course, but he found that every time he had the idea, he was very irritable.

And Nogus also found a reason for himself, that is, 'maybe he took this human as a pet'.

Nogus ignored the human girl and walked straight in the direction of the city wall, where his personal guard, Chaos Demon Phyllis, had been waiting for him for a long time.

Nogs made his way up the walls of the border fortress, and from the walls he could see the frost and snow raging outside the border fortress.

The cold wind calmed his restless mood a little.

"Blizzard... Hasn't it subsided? ”

Nogs said as he looked out at the cold wind plains covered in frost and snow.

"Your Highness, are you worried?" Phyllis was keenly aware of the anomaly in Noggs' voice.

"Worried... The blizzard holding back the human army is a good thing for the Demon Realm, but it's a bit of a disappointment for me. ”

Nogus looked at the gauntlet that covered his hand, covered with various sword marks.

At this time of year, Nogus was supposed to lead his army to fight humanity on the Cold Wind Plains, a war of blood and blades.

The demons stationed in the border fortress have spent a whole year preparing for this day.

But this year's blizzard has never seen the momentum of dissipation, and the human troops that should have been overwhelming the territory are nowhere to be seen.

This was definitely something to celebrate for the entire Demon Realm, and it gave them enough time to recuperate.

But such a long break made Noggs feel a little... At a loss.

Not only Noggs, but also the other demons in the border fortress.

The fortress was built to defend against foreign enemies, and the soldiers were in a state of readiness for battle all year round, and only the battlefield was the place he was most familiar with, and if he was on the battlefield now, he would not encounter so many complicated things.

"Phyllis, can you imagine that this long war will end one day?" Nogus suddenly remembered the girl from the Land of Frost, and then asked the guards beside him.

"I can't imagine it, Your Highness." Phyllis replied almost without thinking.

"I can imagine that my brother told me that the real enemy is the Inquisition from the Land of the Holy Religion, but we have been at war with that country called Frost for more than seventy years, and hatred has long been accumulated with the blood on the blade, so if this war wants to end, either the country called Frost will be destroyed, or the border fortress will be breached by those humans." Nogs whispered.

At this moment, one of the heralds in the fortress came to Nogus and knelt down.

"Your Highness, the third prince Qiao Xiu sent his attendant to deliver a gift."

"Gifts?"

Since his last trip to the royal city, Nogus no longer dared to see his brother as a 'child who still needs to be protected'.

In the past month, Nogus learned some things Qiao Xiu did in the human city of Nolan through the magic net, and even if he thought about it now, he felt incredible.

The web provided Nogus with an excellent way to obtain information about humanity, as well as the magic of distant communication called the Newsletter.

As a qualified general, Nogus clearly understands the role of newsletters on the battlefield.

Nogs immediately led his guards towards the fortress's warehouse where supplies were stored, where anything would be stored before it could enter the fortress.

On the way to the warehouse, Nogs passed a garden, which was originally a barren flat land within the fortress, but where she had begun to grow hardy flowers since the arrival of the human girl, Agatta.

Nogs made his way across the garden to the back warehouse, where a demon named Zenas had been waiting for a long time.

There was no cumbersome etiquette between the demons, and the demon of sinful karma directly took out a primordial crystal inlaid with the leaves of the World Tree.

The magic was infused into the protocrystal, and in Noggs's eyes, a moving 'painting' appeared on the wall in front of him.

This painting is not the somewhat childish "Beauty and the Devil" that Nogus saw in the magic web before, it depicts a war!

'His Royal Highness Prince Sheil, with his people and army in charge of the castle under the control of the Inquisitor, is destined to be remembered by history tonight. ’

A deep voice introduces what is happening in the picture.

Nogs saw only the light of the fire, the light of the torches held by countless humans, and the torches they held set the imperial capital of the Frost Nation on fire.

"When did this happen?" Nogs looked at the picture above and asked the demon in disbelief.

"Three days ago." The demon of sinful karma said.

"...... three days ago"

Nogs watched the 'king' of the Land of Frost being sent to the execution table in the picture, and his feelings were very complicated.

The city he had always dreamed of leading the demon army to break through had fallen at the hands of a group of humans!

At this moment, there was only one thought in Noggs's heart, the old land of frost was really... was ruined.
