- "You are the child of the gods. ”

It was when Angus had just been appointed by the emperor to embark on a journey to guard the northern frontier.

At the time, the Delin family was heading to the far north.

It was late autumn when we set out, and as we approached the northern border, it was already deep in winter.

The north is already extremely cold, and coupled with the winter in the depths of winter, it is simply cold beyond ordinary people to stay.

When Angus first arrived in the North, it was not uncommon for many of his servants to suffer frostbite on their hands and feet because they were not careful to keep warm.

Several of the servants even froze their fingers, and the blood clotted into ice crystals as soon as it overflowed.

At that time, the northern barbarians were rampant, relying on their naturally heavy hair, to invade the northern frontier with impunity on the borders of the empire.

The brutality of these barbarians even spread to the royal capital, thousands of miles away, where they slaughtered the inhabitants and burned the towns.

Countless horrific acts, they have done them all.

On the way to the north, Angus had already killed a lot of barbarians in the north on the way.

At that time, Angus still had his own paranoid justice, and he was determined to eradicate these barbarians in the north.

And when he arrived, after a few years, he built a strong steel fortress in the north.

Led by trained knights, he built a towering wall for the northern edge of the empire, defending the inhabitants of these empires.

Of course, he also knew.

Further north of the fortress, there were also some inhabitants of the empire in the far north.

However, he could no longer afford to expand the fort deeper to the north.

Angus, a battle-hardened man, knows it well.

The conditions in the Far North are even harsher, and the barbarians are almost all wandering there.

If it is entrenched there, under the harassment of a large number of barbarians, even if the steel barrier is reinforced several times, it will not be able to remain intact for a long time.

Once there is a weak point in the defense, the barbarians seize the opportunity to attack in one fell swoop, and the fortress can be easily defeated.

Therefore, he could only let those who lived further north live in the fortress as much as possible, and let them seek refuge on their own initiative.

Although Angus was appointed by Emperor Oberley as the guardian of the Northern Frontier, he was not the lord of the Northern Frontier.

However, Angus always thinks about the safety of the people of the North.

So even if he wasn't a lord, he was still loved by the inhabitants of the North.

After all, his paranoid justice has indeed saved many residents of the north who are living in dire straits.

At that time, Angus's family was gradually happy.

He has two children, and his wife is pregnant and is about to have their third child.

However, it is because of Angus's unwavering act of justice.

There are those who love him deeply, and there are those who hate him deeply.

In the cold north, it is clear that hunting wild beasts alone cannot meet the survival needs of a huge barbarian tribe.

Therefore, the inhabitants of the north have also become hunting targets for the barbarians.

Angus's shelter in the north undoubtedly further limited the living space of the barbarians.

So, they launched a fierce revenge.

It was a harsh winter night.

Originally in the Delin Mansion, Angus was enjoying dinner with his family with a warm fireplace.

The warm candlelight in the home reflects the warm smiles on the faces of everyone in the Delin family.

But an urgent briefing from a knight broke the harmony, giving Angus's otherwise relaxed face a solemnity:

"Grand Knight Angus, we have found a stronghold hidden by the barbarians in the north."

Angus hadn't had dinner with his family for a long, long time, but the matter was urgent, and the safety of the entire fortress was at stake.

He was helpless.

"Go ahead."

In Angus's ears, came the gentle support of his wife.

He gazed affectionately at his wife's gentle eyes that flickered by candlelight, and gently kissed his pregnant lover

After glancing at his young son, he put on his armor and set out with a large number of knights on horseback to the place pointed out by the intelligence.

Sure enough, the location referred to by the intelligence did hide a barbarian base.

Angus gave the order and led the knights to bravely charge the barbarians.

The knights who witnessed the battle all remember the heroic appearance of their great knights on the battlefield.

He was more courageous than usual in battle.

Flesh and blood fly, cold light appeared.

Wind and snow streaked through his armor, but blood flowed down his armor into the snow.

The barbarian's stout and hoarse screams were incessant, and blood gushed out of their bodies, dyeing even a small patch of snow completely scarlet.

Even the pieces of corpses were piled up into a small mountain.

And as his subordinates have reported, there are indeed quite a few barbarians hiding here.

Angus slaughtered the most barbarians, and his silver armor was dyed a thoroughly bright red.

Even the hideous, silver-toothed snow mastiff head on his chest looked even more terrifying.

When Angus brought up the last of the barbarians who had hidden, he put the silver blade around its neck.

As soon as the arm was forced, and before the blade could be drawn, I saw the barbarian's lips move, and he opened his mouth to spit out human words:

"Knight, you're here."

"And brought so many knights."

Angus was extremely curious and puzzled.

For it was the first time he had heard a barbarian speak.

All the barbarians I had encountered before were like wild beasts, without human intelligence, and were a bunch of savage creatures who only acted on instinct.

Therefore, Angus spared the barbarian's life for the time being, and said in a calm tone:

"It looks like you have one last word, tell me about it."

The barbarian sat on the ground, a strange glint flashed in his eyes, and pulled out a hideous smile:

"I admire your justice, just relying on this illusory belief, you have persisted in this barren northern Xinjiang for so many years."

"But, have you ever thought that one day, you will also pay the price for your justice?"

Before Angus could react at this time, he frowned, grabbed the barbarian by the neck, and stared at its face with a cold gaze:

"What do you want to tell me?"

"Ahem, ahem."

The barbarian was overwhelmed by the strong grip and coughed a few times.

It wasn't until Angus came to his senses that he let it go.

The barbarian fell to the ground, coughing, and it took several breaths of relief before he calmed down:

"I'll give you a word of advice, Lord Knight."

"The more precious something you feel, the more you have to put it in the most inconspicuous place."

"You proclaim your righteousness everywhere, and even your most cherished family members support you."

It laughed almost madly, and a deep voice reached Angus's ears like a magic bell:

"You always say that your enemies will never be able to defeat you."

"However, there will always be a day when you miss those precious gems."

"We thieves, but we keep an eye on them all the time."

"Hey, hey, hey...... Remember next time, don't come out with so many knights. ”

In the end, Angus beheaded the barbarians in silence.

When Angus returned to the fort, he found that the few knights guarding the northern frontier had suffered numerous casualties.

Even the corpses of those barbarians lay scattered on the blood-stained ground.

And when Angus returned to his home. A scene of destruction came into view.

The doors were torn, the warm fireplace collapsed, and the cold spread throughout the mansion.

The broken dining table was stained with blood, and the severed and cracked corpses lay quietly on the ground.

His wife, his son.

All died in the barbarian invasion.

Only his eldest daughter, Kevlar, escaped because she was still training as a knight.

At that moment, the justice that Angus was convinced of reached the brink of collapse.

Indeed, his justice made him beloved by the inhabitants.

He protected the entire northern frontier and killed countless barbarians.

Even in this battle, Angus still won a big victory.

He succeeded in destroying the hidden strongholds of the barbarians.

Even in the face of a fierce invasion by barbarians, losses were limited to a few knights.

And, of course, his beloved wife and children.

However, when justice can't even protect even the closest family members, Angus begins to question it.

What is the meaning of this justice?

"To exercise justice, all emotions must be cut off."

"But you can't, and therefore the justice you believe in will not respond to you."

As the muffled voice rang out, a pitch-black shadow began to wrap around his son's corpse.

Jathew Delin twisted his young body to his feet, his eyes glinting with a hollow, godless chaotic light.

Angus watched as his son recovered from his shattered state.

But he knew that the creature in front of him was no longer his son.

"I am a devout follower of the goddess of justice."

That's what he said to Angus.

The next moment, the entire mansion was engulfed in a violent storm of ice and snow.

The snow pierced the sky, burying the dilapidated dwelling.

Jia Xiu stretched out his young hands and shook them gently, and a beating flame swayed in the wind and snow out of thin air.

Under Angus's desperate gaze.

Jia Xiu walked towards his wife's corpse step by step.

The corpse, which had already been disemboweled, and the child who had not yet formed were like a piece of dark flesh and blood that died in the belly of the corpse.

Jacieu bent down and lowered the flame into the cold belly of Angus' wife.

The flame gradually expanded, enveloping the entire corpse.

The whole corpse gradually began to burn, turning into a sky of burning stars, and finally sprinkled in the wind and snow.

Finally, in the middle of the ice and snow, the cry of a baby was heard.

Angus was stunned, his image in the wind and snow was no longer a god of war, but a father shocked by the revival of life.

He threw down his sword and ran frantically towards the source of the orange flame.

Angus's eyes were full of shock, and he stretched out his hands tremblingly and hugged the child who was covered in the wind and snow, but between the burning of the fire.

The newborn baby girl's body was covered in snow and ice.

But Angus held it in his arms, but it made him feel an incomparable warmth.

Even through the steel armor, Angus could feel the warmth coming from the baby.

The baby's head was covered with a thin layer of white snow, and silver snowflakes shimmered in the dark wind and snow, like a bright dawn in the distant sky.

Angus's body trembled, and his eyes were full of only this young baby.

Jia Xiu's immature voice echoed in his ears, leaving a blazing mark in this wind and snow:

"Cherish it, this is a gift from the gods to your child."

"Train her to be a god, and she will inherit your justice and fulfill your unfulfilled wishes."

"But you have to remember."

Jia Xiu's hollow eyes flickered with a dark surge, gradually devouring the silver light around them, turning into deep chaos.

"Don't let her have any feelings."

- Because of absolute justice, no emotion is required.
