Chapter 43 The Beast Tide
Nom looked at Dikao with some questions, and then thought carefully before slowly saying: "What do you mean... I just need to be responsible for making money?"
"It's almost the same," Dikao nodded, "but you will be an intelligence transfer station for the Holy City. You must find a group of dead soldiers to train them into professional intelligence personnel."
"I understand..." Nom nodded thoughtfully.
Seeing Norm's expression, Dikao narrowed his eyes, "Nom, you should know that the demons have always paid great attention to the spirit of contract. Since you promised me, you will not regret it, right?"
"Of course not!" Nom nodded solemnly.
"I can understand that you must be in a mess now, so now I am still willing to give you a chance to renege!" said Dikao. "I am taken care of by you in the Holy City, and now I still think we are friends!"
"What do you... mean?" Nom asked back.
"If you regret it now, I can still pretend that nothing has happened." Dikao said, "But if you don't regret it now and betray me in the future, not only you, but your family will experience very serious consequences!"
Nom didn't say anything, just looked down at the desktop.
"So I'll ask you one last question now, are you going to do it?" Dikao asked as he looked at him.
"I'll do it!" Nom nodded heavily, "Diranta is a small country, and she will definitely not be able to resist your army. I am willing to bet on the present and fight for a future!"
"Very good!" Dikao nodded, "You will be the first human being able to come to me at any time in the future, and also my important guest. No matter when you come, whether you are a subordinate or a friend, this place will be unobstructed!"
"Thank you!" Nom knelt on one knee to express his loyalty.
This is the tenth day since I came here. I finally figured out what Dikao was going to do and finally decided to join him!
…………
Early the next morning, Norm got into the carriage home, and Dikao took him to the entrance of the castle.
"Go home and have a good New Year!" Dikao smiled and patted his shoulder, "When the New Year is over, our plan will officially begin!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Norm nodded and agreed, got in the carriage and went home.
When they came, they were forcibly brought by Feiyana and Mihal. When they left, they were still responsible for escorting them.
However, his attitude is completely different from before. As the Demon King’s guests, Fiana and Mihal both gave enough respect!
Looking at the carriage that gradually disappeared from sight, Dikao sniffed and turned back.
"My King, where are you going?" Alisa came over and asked.
"Of course I'm preparing food for you!" Dikao turned around and grinned, "The New Year is coming soon, don't you want to have dinner with me?"
"Of course!" Grie jumped on the spot, "what new food are you going to make?"
“Want to know?”
"Yeah!" Grie's eyes were shining.
"Everyone is here to help me!" Dikao waved his hand and took the lead in walking.
"Yes!" The four maids agreed, and then followed. Carita and Fax also walked into the castle and began to help prepare food for the New Year.
………………………………………
Snowflakes have begun to float on the border of the Principal of Verbaru, covering the border town called Corgas with a layer of silvery cloak.
Just as the sun sets, the color happens to make the figures of a group of warriors in silver armor patrolling outside the city become psychedelic.
"Everyone cheer me up, little boys!" Vogt, the commander of the Knights, rode a white horse and shouted loudly, "Time is getting closer and closer! End it early, let's bring more prey home to welcome the New Year!"
The other knights continued to do their own things as if they hadn't heard it, but they could tell from everyone's expression that they didn't have any hope for Vogt's words.
This year, there have been much fewer troops responsible for dealing with the beast tide. It is conceivable that once a large-scale beast tide occurs, the people here are likely to collapse.
Of course, Vogt knew about this, but morale in the army is undoubtedly very important. As a commander, he must find a way to mobilize morale.
However, judging from the current situation, the efficiency is quite limited.
Just as I was thinking about other ways to encourage morale, I heard a "huh--" sound, and a large number of snowflakes rose around me.
"Who!" Vogt raised his hand and pulled out his sword, pointing straight to the two wonderful figures among the flying snowflakes.
"Vogt, you actually pointed at me with a sword, which really made me sad." A sexy voice with an extremely plain tone sounded.
"This..." Vogt suddenly opened his eyes wide, "Three...Three Princess?"
A night breeze blew, and the two figures in the snowflakes showed their bodies.
Both of them were tall and concave. One of them was wearing gorgeous armor, and the light wings behind them emitted a strong but not dazzling light.
The other man had short golden hair hanging down on his shoulders, the black gold-edged pointed hat bent backwards, and the matching short cloak swung gently in the breeze.
The heterochromatic pupil behind the monocle of the right eye is even more famous throughout the Principality of Verbaru than the Casg Empire.
"Okay, Vogt!" Niteya grinned and showed a sexy smile, "It's been three years, right?"
"I don't know if the third princess is here in person, and she is in a position to welcome her. Please forgive me..." Vogt knelt on one knee and lowered his head to apologize.
"Okay, okay, get up!" Netiya tweaked the hair in her ear, "This year you don't have enough people here, my father asked me to help."
"Thank you for your concern, really..." Vogt raised his head, then was stunned, "Brave?"
"Hello!" Selena greeted with a smile.
"This... Hello! Vogt George, the leader of the Knights of Corgas, pays tribute to you!"
"You're welcome," Selena looked at the surrounding town, "I'm here to help this time."
"The brave are here, and this time they will definitely win a great victory!" Vogt expressed his joy.
You know, this brave man who usually fights against the devil, is not too easy to deal with a beast tide.
However, when I saw the bandage on Selena's right arm, her face froze.
"The arm of the brave..."
"I was injured some time ago, and now I'm replying is fine, I can move." Selena raised her hand, "But I can't take a weapon yet."
"It's okay, it's okay..." Vogt waved his hand quickly.
He is a brave man no matter how he is. Even if he can't use a sword, he is better than ordinary people even if he stands next to him and uses magic to bombard him... Vogt thought to himself.
"Hey!" Netiya flipped her wrist and a letter had appeared in her hand, "My father gave it to you, this time we both follow your command."
"How can this work? Where can there be a brave man here..."
"To be honest, if our opponent is a demon, I would definitely not refuse." Selena said, "but I don't have any experience in dealing with beast tides or monsters. I still have to rely on Mr. Vogt to command it."
…………
The arrival of the brave and the third princess made the morale of the knights guarding the border today unprecedentedly high. Without Vogt's yell, everyone was full of courage.
These two have different reputations.
Needless to say, Selena has been active on the battlefield since she was twelve years old, and countless demons have been cut down.
The third princess, Nitia, the youngest genius alchemist in Casg's history, has her own independent laboratory in the Alchemy Guild.
Because of his coexistence of wisdom and beauty, he is called the Casg Rose.
However, in the legend of the Principality of Verbalu, this third princess has extremely powerful combat power than an ordinary alchemist, and both magic and swordsmanship are excellent.
The knights in charge of guarding this year relaxed and felt that this year's mission was stable!
The two of them flew all day long, and after coming over, the sky began to get darker. After a few greetings, Vogt arranged for him to rest in the room.
After flying all day, I felt a little sleepy. After washing up, they lay down and closed their eyes.
…………
"Clang—Clang—Clang—Clang—”
When the bell tower in the center of the town was ringing, Selena and Nitia opened their eyes at the same time.
After looking at the dark moon and starry night sky outside the window, I looked at each other and saw a trace of helplessness in the other person's eyes.
"It's just the middle of the night..." Nitia complained while wrapping her cloak around her body, "It seemed like she had a good sleep."
"There's no way, most of the monsters are active at night." Selena tied her hair with a ponytail, "Let's go."
...
After walking out of the room, they saw the knights on the street running towards the forest, and the two of them followed.
Soon after reaching the outside of the town, the knights had already besieged the city and raised their shields to block them. At the same time, the knights in the second row extended their spears from the gap between the shields, waiting for the prey to automatically bump into them.
"Boom..."
There was a sound like a galloping horse in the forest. Although the sound was chaotic, you could clearly feel the destructive momentum.
The night itself makes the sound more vivid, and under the influence of echoes inside the forest, it seems like there are millions of soldiers charging forward in front of them.
A warrior who stretched his shield out of his gun in the second row was stomping his lunge, leaving a drop of sweat on his forehead, and he moved his already stiff fingers.
The roar became louder and louder, and finally, a group of monsters in front rushed out of the forest with the pervading smoke and dust.
"Here we come, prepare to welcome!"
With Vogt's roar, the warriors in charge of holding the shield all pressed their shoulders against the shield.
"Bang bang bang..."
There were continuous muffled sounds, accompanied by the sound of the blade entering the flesh, and blood splattered everywhere, the shields of several warriors quickly sunk back.
"Swoosh--"
A white rabbit soared into the air, surpassing two layers of shields, and a front flip in the air was the first to break through the defense.
