198 The Demon Swordsman (1/2)

At the north wall of Calios Fort, a 1.87 meters figure stood. To the right and left of the figure were the armored guards. The deep black armor gave off an intimidating vibe to the enemy.

However, the figure that wore a black cloak was more intimidating than the guard. Even the guard did not dare to get closer to the figure as a sinister and death aura shrouded the figure.

The wide straw hat covered the figure's feature, but one could see red-gleaming eyes underneath the straw hat. He was Zaneos the Demon Swordsman, and The Kingdom of Alleria was his home.

He got the title of the Demon Swordsman from his enemy. His sword technique was just like a demon that devoured countless souls. Added he was Demon Race hence he was called The Demon Swordsman.

Aside from Demon Swordsman, he was known as the Protector of The North. He had been dedicated thirty years of his life to protect the north from the human invasion, and he was undefeated.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

The sound of steel boots clanking to the stone floor rang. A two meters figure wearing dark-red armor came up with a skull-like mask covering the face.

Demon General Wardock, Zaneos's friend. The duo had been fighting side by side for years, protecting the land in the north from the greedy humans.

”You should get some rest, my friend. They are not going to attack us anytime soon after ten thousand of their soldiers died in your hand! It will take some time for them to recover,” Wardock's sonorous voice broke the silence as he tapped Zaneos's stuff back.

However, Zaneos did not respond to his friend as he kept scanning the dark horizon ahead of him. Wardock was used to his friend's elusive and indifferent attitude.

”We can't be careless, Wardock! Do you know why humans could dominate half of the continent despite being born weak? We can't be careless against them, after ten thousands of soldiers died, they would think of a weird way to break our defense!” Zaneos replied with his curt tone. Her red pupils were moving around, scanning the horizon.

”You are right about that! Do you know the Dragon Riders of the Celestial Empire?” Wardock agreed to his best friends' words. Zaneos was surprised and turned his head to his friend. His friend rarely agreed to him with something.

”What's wrong with the Celestial Empire?” Zaneos asked. It was the strongest force of humanity, but the empire was located at the far end of human territory. It was far from the border, why would his friend bring up about them?

”They send the one and the only squad of Dragon Riders to help!” Wardock said weakly. Even though the demon claimed to be a superior race to the human race, a Dragon was another matter. A squad of twenty Dragons? It was not surprising that half of the demon race would perish.

”The King told me directly, two days ago,” Wardock looked toward his friend. His deep red eyes met with Zaneos's gaze.

”Then, when will the reinforcement come?” Twenty Dragon Riders, he and his man were not enough to face twenty of them. Unless they came one by one to him, Zaneos thought he could still win if it was a 1 vs 1.

'If the enemy has twenty Dragon Riders, I hope the King will come to support us,'

”Bahahaha…” Wardock let out sonorous laughter when he heard his friend's question, ”As expected of my friend, you don't even waver in front of the mighty Dragon!”
