A Demon's Journey

271 Troublemakers

The King activated his secret intelligence agency and asked them to look for an individual who could be useful in this mission to the Lamhilhan Theocracy.

Installing a new ruler sympathetic to the Glerian Kingdom was a huge mission. Even if they succeeded, the Lamhilhan Theocracy couldn't openly support the Glerian Kingdom.

If nothing else, the king wanted the new ruler of the Lamhilhan Theocracy to not sign an alliance with the Sinyalian Kingdom.

In the war against the Sinyalian Kingdom, if the Sinyalian Kingdom received Lamhilhan Theocracy's support, defeating them would become nearly impossible for the Glerian Kingdom.

Thus, this mission was extremely crucial.

The Silver Hawks Agency's men were spread wide within the Glerian Kingdom. However, this was such a secret organization that most of its members worked under the Silver Hawks Agency without even knowing their organization's name.

All the core members of this Agency's name who knew the name had different methods of gathering their information.

These core members of the Silver Hawks Agency had divided their tasks. Some members would gather information related to trade and the economy. Some would focus on rare talents.

Some would focus on information regarding infamous criminals, hunters, and even the actions of influential warriors of the Glerian Kingdom.

These people also kept an eye on the enemy Kingdom's spies. They controlled the information these spies received…

Purging all of the enemy's spies was impossible. However, planting fake information was very much possible.

Currently, the entire Silver Hawks Agency has received a new assignment. To find a talent who could influence the crowds and was good in diplomacy. This talent couldn't be too famous in the Glerian Kingdom.

The core members of the Silver Hawks Agency immediately began to search for such an individual.

They decided to pay attention to small towns and villages instead of the cities. They could find a worthy talent fitting the profile set up by the King without much trouble. He would be lowkey since the information would rarely spread much from a small town or a village.

Atleast, the citizens in the city would normally ignore a rumor that originated from a small town or village.

When the situation calls for it, they can always massacre the entire town and blame it on a Beast Raid or some demon, and no one will notice.

Fortunately, the King gave them one whole week to look for an individual fitting this profile.

Around this moment, the King and other influential people were seated in a large hall. Ahead of them, certain holographic images appeared.

These were the images within the forest. The visual transmitting arrays had been translated at specific points in the entire forest.

The King wanted to see how these warriors would fight and lead their men to victory. Even if someone lost this tournament, the King was ready to make an exception and enlist him in his forces as long as he possessed extraordinary talent.

There were nearly 20 groups who were waiting after their registration for the Heavenly Dragon Battlefield Tournament. The registration hadn't closed, so they couldn't be allowed to enter the forest.

Currently, these groups were staying in an inn, waiting for the summons.

The registrations closed once there were 32 groups in total.

Each group was leading 50 men in this tournament. Interestingly, most of these warriors in these groups were 3 Star Warriors. There were fewer 2 Star Warriors as compared to the 3 Star Warriors.

There was profound reasoning behind this.

Most of the groups participating in this Heavenly Dragon Battlefield's Tournament belonged to reputed factions. Nearly 21 of these groups belonged to reputed factions.

These factions could naturally afford to send all 50 warriors at the 3 Star Rank. They were all prepared for this Heavenly Dragon Battleground's Tournament.

The same couldn't be spoken about the small individual groups.

They had entered this tournament just to try their luck. If they could get lucky, their group might gain a bit of prestige just because they were participating in it.

Before the Heavenly Dragon Battleground's Tournament could officially begin, a few individuals came to meet Noah and his subordinates.

These individuals were wearing very high-class spiritual clothing. There was also a basic outline of the armor they were wearing underneath that spiritual clothing.

Clearly, they belonged to a rather influential and wealthy group. Noah and his subordinates looked like poor chaps ahead of them.

"…Who is Noah?" A brown-haired guy among them asked with a neutral tone.

Noah raised his brows while staring at them. Meanwhile, Noah's subordinates also turned their gaze in these men's direction.

They wondered what these individuals wanted from Noah.

Even though they were curious, no one answered that earlier question. No one possessed the courage to point his finger in Noah's direction.

The three warriors couldn't help but frown at this blatant disregard from Noah and his subordinates.

"I asked, who is Noah?!" The same brown warrior asked with a forceful voice.

Noah stepped forwards and then spoke, "I am Noah. What business do you have with me?" His voice was extremely cold as he asked them this question.

Azaroth had ordered Noah to not be afraid of getting into any trouble. He had to make sure that no one would look down on him and his men.

Noah was extremely unhappy at their rude and commanding tone towards him. Since they were asking about him, they should have known that he was the leader of this group.

For them to speak in that tone indicated that they looked down on him. Since they were disrespectful to him, he had to respond to them in kind.

Meanwhile, the three individuals stared at Noah. Two of them were stunned, and the man with green hair's pupils narrowed.

The brown-haired guy immediately responded with a despising look on his face, "What a coward this Noah is. He actually sends out a child to talk to us. He must have been scared shitless after seeing us."

"…Coward?" Noah whispered as killing intent suddenly shone in his eyes.

Noah's subordinates immediately backed away as they saw the look on his face.

Noah's hand touched his sword while staring at the brown-haired warrior. He spoke with a dangerously calm voice, "How about you look down on our leader after you successfully block my attack."

The brown-haired guy snorted in response, "Looks like I need to teach you a lesson and then make you take us to your leader."

The brown-haired warrior immediately stepped forward, indicating that he had accepted Noah's challenge.

Noah suddenly grabbed his sword's handle, and his entire aura changed.

These three unknown individuals immediately sensed a sharp dominating aura. The brown-haired warrior was extremely intimidated by that aura, and he took a step back in shock and fear.

'<strong>Quick strike.</strong>'

Noah's body suddenly moved forward.

Just as the brown-haired warrior was getting ready to block Noah's attack, he felt someone pulled his hair.

The brown-haired warrior's body immediately moved back. His eyes widened in shock when he noticed a metallic blade narrowing missing his throat.

Within a second, his entire life flashed before him.

Noah came to a halt as he realized the brown-haired man had evaded his strike. It wasn't so much that he dodged as it was that the emerald-haired man had dragged him away from the danger.

The emerald-haired man had a serious expression on his face as he gazed at Noah, "What is your name?"

There was a trace of respect in his tone. He knew that if not for his intervention, his comrade would have died.

In fact, he could also see that this wasn't Noah's limit. This was probably only a trace of his power.

Noah replied calmly, "The one you are looking for."
