Chapter 170 First Arrival
The icy wind blew against my face.
Numa stood atop the city wall, gazing at the swirling snow before him. His soldiers were all ready for battle.
The ground began to shake at that moment.
One by one, figures emerged from the wind and snow.
The leader was a fair-skinned, tall, blue-haired beauty wearing a white military uniform.
She is Esdeath, the strongest person in the world.
Numa looked down at Esdeath with a solemn expression; he knew about the woman's deeds.
The empire's strongest general.
I don't know if I can win.
Of course, such emotions cannot be revealed, after all, he is the spiritual pillar of this army and the people.
Therefore, you cannot have even the slightest negative emotion.
Esdeath looked at Numa above the castle.
"The strongest hero in the Northern Kingdom?"
"I don't know how long I can keep this up, but I hope I can have some fun."
Esdeath smiled enigmatically, and without saying a word, waved her hand.
The battle was about to break out without any warning.
Numa's original plan to march south turned into a battle to defend the capital, while Esdeath began her northern expedition.
The soldiers from both sides clashed like a tidal wave, their battle cries instantly resounding throughout the heavens and earth.
Next up is the command of both sides' legions.
Time flies, and three days have passed.
Corpses littered the snow-covered plains.
"Damn it!!"
Numa slammed his fist on the city wall. The battle below continued, and people kept falling.
His heart was bleeding; these were his people! His soldiers!!
He was searching for Esdeath's location.
This woman... hasn't shown up even once since yesterday.
Am I not worthy of her taking action?
Numa gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! That woman doesn't respect me at all!"
She didn't know what Esdeath was doing; she couldn't possibly go straight to the heart of the enemy alone.
Numa's guess was correct.
Esdeath has captured the king alive from the palace in the North, or rather, she has taken Numa's father away.
It's common knowledge that spearmen have always had bad luck, except for Zilong, who is considered overpowered.
Even though he was using a gun, he was still unlucky.
Just as Numa was calming down, the woman who had disappeared for a long time reappeared, dragging a fleshy ball behind her with chains.
She walked towards the battlefield.
Both sides ceased fighting.
The soldiers of the empire were there because their general had arrived, while those of the North were there because they had seen their king.
"King of the Kingdom..."
Conquering cities is inferior to conquering hearts and minds.
This is truly a blow to the spirit!
"Father!!"
Numa stared incredulously at the center of the field.
How is that possible!
His own father had been captured alive!
Esdeath arrived at the center of the battlefield and then casually trampled the king under her feet.
"Do you want to live, or do you want to die?"
"Spare me! Spare me! I want to live! I want to live!"
"You should know what to do, right?"
"understood."
Seeing the spineless king, Esdeath kicked him forward with disdain.
The king felt pain all over his body.
He was enjoying hot pot and singing at home when he was suddenly captured.
He looked up at his son and shouted angrily.
"Bastard, surrender! Surrender! Do you want to see your own father die?"
Numa stared wide-eyed at his father's desperate attempt to force him to surrender, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
This...this is the current king?
My once spirited father is gone.
Surrender was out of the question; he had to be fully prepared. He held the card in his hand. Although he didn't understand the words on it, he knew what it was because of the demon image.
This is an Imperial Arm that summons a demon at the cost of its own life.
He refused to believe that the woman in front of him could defeat the demon.
Numa took a deep breath; he had no choice but to fight with his back against the wall. He raised his bow and aimed it at his father.
"Father, please accept your death!"
"You unfilial son! What do you think you're doing?!"
Numa looked at his father coldly, his fingers loosening.
The arrow pierced the king's head like a meteor.
As the king fell to the ground.
Numa led his soldiers out of the city.
"Warriors! The invaders of the Empire are at the front! For the Horde!!"
Destroy them!
(Brothers, I don't think Numa will surrender just because of a word from the king, so let's leave it at that.)
The soldiers were shocked by Numa's actions, their morale soared, and they charged towards the Imperial soldiers with shouts.
Esdeath watched this scene with a hint of interest in her eyes.
"An interesting guy."
With a light leap, she stepped onto the battlefield.
One man faces Numa's massive army.
Esdeath drew the blade from her waist, and at the same time, the chill emanating from her body intensified.
As she watched the soldiers rushing towards her, a smile appeared on her lips, and then she waved her hand dismissively.
Countless ice walls surged forward, forming an ice wall.
The warriors of the North were swallowed by the ice wall and frozen inside it.
Numa felt a pang of anxiety upon seeing this, but he did not back down.
He charged toward Esdeath, spear in hand.
Seeing Numa charging towards her, Esdeath flashed and appeared in front of him, then slashed down with her sword.
So fast!
Numa quickly raised his spear to defend, but the blade sliced through, severing the spear in two, and his abdomen was instantly frozen as it was cut open.
Numa staggered backward, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
"So...so strong."
"Hey, use whatever tricks you have up your sleeve. Let me have my fill, and maybe I'll back down."
Looking at Esdeath in front of him, Numa wiped the corner of his mouth.
He took out the card.
Seeing this, Esdeath became interested and waited for his next move.
"Ancient demon, I have awakened you at the cost of my own life, and brought you back to the world."
Turn the world into a hellish scene!
As soon as he finished speaking, a magic circle appeared, and a pillar of light shot straight into the sky.
"Haha, this is interesting! I never expected to encounter something so interesting!!"
Esdeath looked excited; she was looking forward to what was to come.
Inside the beam of light.
Numa stared blankly at Ye Xiao, who had spread his black wings.
I never expected... that I actually summoned a demon.
Ye Xiao looked at Numa and frowned. He thought she was a beautiful girl, but it turned out to be this unlucky guy.
She was betrayed by her own king, then branded a slave by Esdeath, and finally kicked to death after being played with.
That's really pathetic.
Numa was about to speak when Ye Xiao shot him through the body. In his dying moments, he heard Ye Xiao's words.
"I know your demands. I will destroy all countries, and you will become a ghost to witness everything."
"Thank you so much."
Numa died and became one of the millions of evil spirits.
As the pillar of light dissipated, Esdeath watched as a white-haired man with red eyes walked out.
Beside him, Numa was already dead.
"An unseen Imperial Arm, a biological Imperial Arm that sacrifices its own life force."
"Interesting, very interesting."
