Chapter 745: the fire of strife
The border fortress of the magic world.
Noggs’upper body was exposed to the cold air of the frosty plains. His muscles, which were as solid as a hammer, were stained with a large amount of blood.
A hideous wound spread from Noggs’left shoulder to his chest.
Noggs held his left arm and looked at the only female human in the border fortress, Agata, expressionlessly.
Her hand was holding an unknown ointment and smearing it on Nogus’wound.
A sharp pain that was different from pain seeped into Nogus’muscles, causing his arm to subconsciously tremble.
“Don’t move,”Agata said to Nogus in a low voice as if he was reprimanding a child.
This order made Nogus stare at this human with a dangerous gaze. When his soldiers saw this gaze, they would basically cower in fear, but Agata acted as if he did not see it, he directly wrapped a bandage around Nogus’shoulder.
“The ice flower can only temporarily suppress the mist on your wound. The method to completely heal it… My parents didn’t give it to me either.”
After Agata finished dressing Nogus, he stood up with a plaster.
Nogus was in the treatment room of the border fortress. There were over ten demon soldiers lying in the fortress. All of them were suddenly attacked while patrolling.
The ones who attacked them were the soldiers of the Frost Kingdom. Nogus had also captured some of the soldiers of the Frost Kingdom. All of them were in a very strange state.
“Voss, are you ready?”
Nogus stretched his arm. After finding that his arm had gradually regained consciousness, he immediately picked up the longsword by his hand.
“The army has been assembled. The teleportation portal built by the sin demons has also been opened. We can go out to battle at any time, Your Highness,”General Voss said.
“Wait… wait a minute.”
Agata immediately grabbed Noggs’arm when he saw him leave with his sword.
However, Noggs managed to break free from Agata with a rough movement. Just as Agata was about to say something, Noggs pointed his sword at her neck.
Noggs stared at the human girl with freckles on her face. The tip of the sword in Noggs’hand had already touched the ponytail placed in front of her shoulder.
“As an intruder, you’re lucky to be alive,”Nogus said in a deep voice.
“I have no right to refute this war…”Agata recalled the captured soldiers of the frost kingdom and said, “But the mental state of those soldiers is a little strange.”
Nogus put away his sword and did not say anything else. He turned around and left the resting room of the border fortress.
..
The war had been going on for countless years.
Nogus slowly walked on his warhorse on the snow-covered wasteland. Occasionally, the sound of something breaking could be heard.
It was crisp and melodious.
Nogus knew that it was the sound of horse hooves breaking bones. There were too many dry bones buried under the snow on the frost plains. Demon humans… the hundred-year-long war had turned this place into a huge boneyard.
“Your Highness, the temporary camp is ahead.”
General Voss did not ride a horse. There was no mount in the world that could withstand the huge body of the sin demon.
Nogus looked at the temporary camp built by the demon world from afar. Every time the snowstorm in the Frost Plains stopped, humans would appear on the plains like ghouls who smelled blood.
Recently, the human offensive had slowed down a lot, which gave Noggs the illusion that he might be able to rest for a while.
However, the wound on his shoulder had once again taught him a bloody lesson. The human invasion had never stopped, and the war would never stop.
Noggs had had enough of passive defensive battles. This time, he was going to take the initiative to attack!
“The air here has changed.”
While Nogus was patrolling the temporary stronghold built by the demon world, he could vaguely feel that the air and atmosphere around him had changed.
The air was filled with something that made him feel disgusted. The wound on his shoulder began to ache again.
While Nogus was thinking about the reason for the change in the atmosphere of the frost plains, he saw a flag raised high in the snow in the distance.
The flag was pure white… the flag of the frost kingdom was white at the bottom, but it had a golden dragon head emblem, but that flag only had a helmet hanging on it.
Surrender. Norgus understood what the flag meant. This was a rule popular among the humans.
“There seems to be only one enemy.”
General Voss looked at the figure holding the white flag high in the distance. He looked like a man covered in a light blue robe.
Norgus could only think of two possibilities when he came to the front of the demon army unarmed. The first was that he wanted to surrender, and the second was that he planned to commit suicide.
“Voss, give me your spear.”
Norgus had been ambushed by humans a while ago. He could not be sure what sinister methods these despicable humans would come up with.
Voss respectfully handed the spear with green flames burning on both ends to Nogus.
Nogus gripped the spear with his uninjured arm and exerted some force. The moment the spear was thrown out, the sound of air exploding rang in Nogus’ears.
The spear flew at an extremely fast speed towards the human who was holding the white flag high in the distance. In the next second, it fell into the snow that was about 200 to 300 meters away from him.
A large amount of snow was lifted by the impact of the spear piercing into the ground. When the snow gradually fell… the figure holding the white flag also stopped in his tracks.
“Human! What’s Your Purpose Here!”Norgus extended his hand towards the evil general beside him. General Voss once again handed a spear to Norgus. “I won’t miss the next time!”
Norgus’voice was very loud. The human spellcaster in the distance seemed to have heard it. He bowed to Norgus from afar.
“My name is giusorio! I come from the neutral country of humans, Nolan. I’m one of the Seven Sages of Nolan!”He said to Norgus in an old and respectful voice.
“Nolan?”
Noggs owned the magic net. Of course, he knew about Nolan.
According to the information he got from the magic net, Noggs also knew that his younger brother, Joshua Arnold, was active in Nolan. Moreover, he had established a certain degree of connection with various countries in Nolan.
Although Noggs did not like Joshua’s behavior of befriending the humans, his primary goal now was to wipe out the frost kingdom. The diplomacy between Joshua and other countries had helped Noggs to a certain extent.
“Great ruler of the Legion.”The spellcaster who called himself sage Nolan bowed his head to Noggs from afar. “I implore you not to start a war here again. There are too many desperate and angry ghosts gathered here. They will attract terrifying monsters…”
