The Strongest Knight's

Ch. 109 - Slave Hunter

Eros Lopnika decides to follow in the footsteps of knights and warriors in pursuit of the fugitive who has been troubling the people of the city of Lister. The fugitive often rioted and stole downtown, so Eros and his army had to come directly to this city to capture him.

Eros caught up with them because he felt it was a long time gone but the soldiers and knights who were chasing the fugitive had not returned. The sky had also started to darken, at this time dusk had been seen and the sun would soon set.

Eros was a little restless as the knight he ordered to chase the werewolves had not returned, as he found them all, as he did, he was even surprised after getting an answer from his unrest as he saw all the knights and warriors fall down. Some are still unconscious, some are lying in pain.

"W-what happened to you guys!?" He was surprised to see the scene in front of him.

"Lord, Mr. Eros.." Victor got up from where he was sitting leaning in contemplation, even with the other knights still in pain from Richard and Woli's attack.

Instantly all the knights and warriors who could stand were now in front of Eros putting his right hand on their chest as a sign of respect for the great knight Eros, one of the great right-hand knights of the kingdom of Inggram.

"Where? Where's the fugitive?" Eros growled, he looked annoyed at his incompetent subordinates.

"Sir.. We caught him..."

"Omong empty.. Where's it!?? Where is he if you catch him!!" Eros snapped at Victor. Eros' angry expression made his subordinates look down and not dare to look into his eyes.

"I'm sorry, sir, but when we caught the fugitive.. Suddenly a stranger arrives and saves the fugitive." Said Victor who was looking down.

"Then.. Where are they, you just let them go?" Eros snapping.

"I'm sorry sir." Victor bowed down regretfully.

"Who? Who saved the fugitive?" Eros turned around, so his emotions veins were clearly visible on his neck to his face.

"I-I don't know sir but that guy has weird eyes, his eyeballs are blood red and he says his name is Red." Victor held his face. Victor still felt pain in his nose as a result of Richard's hard punch.

"Red eye! Red!? Who is that guy.. How strong was he to be able to subvert all of you!?"

"In-he can fend off my powerful attacks just by using his hands!" Eros turned again towards Victor, he looked Victor in the eye. "Is he a demon?" Ask.

"Not sir.. He looks like a human being but he has a strange aura.." Victor guessed, he looked unsure.

"Room.. Red eye.. Who is that guy? Red eye's?" Eros began to think about a figure who defeated his subordinates easily. "Where'd he go?" Ask Eros to Victor.

"He's heading towards the city, sir.." Listening to that, Eros immediately turned around and walked quickly towards the city. "Treat the wounded!" Said when he turned around.

Meanwhile.. Under the same twilight sky, the zero district of Lister city, in one place that was under a tree.

"My sister.. Save him Brother Woli!" The little boy of the shed race who had the rabbit gene was hugging while asking for the help of Woli.

The little boy, Belle, is the younger brother of an Irish slave hunter. Irish is the older sister of Belle, the two of them only live together because their parents have died when district zero was attacked by a horde of monsters 1 year ago.

Since then they have lived alone, to support his sister Irish working as a barmaid in the 2nd district of Lister. 3 months ago when Woli came to this city, he accidentally sees Irish in danger. At that time Irish who had just finished his work and intended to go home stopped in the middle of the road by several large-bodied men in a hallway, Irish passed into the hall to return to zero district.

Irish is desperate and he is attacked if Woli does not come maybe Irish will be the victim of rape. Long story short, since then Irish who feel grateful to invite Woli to come to their hut. Eventually they became friends and until recently became familiar with each other.

Woli came to this city to find information about Richard, at first he did not want to stay long but he saw the situation and conditions were very sad in district zero. Poverty and hunger roared until finally Woli decided to steal food and gold in the city center and gave and distributed the stolen proceeds to the people of zero district.

Not until there, what makes Woli survive in district zero for 3 months is the rampant crime of child and woman kidnapping that occurs in this zero district. The absence of patrolling warriors and knights made the crime rate rise rapidly and uncontrollably.

The most widespread were kidnappings carried out by slave hunters. Slave hunters are people who commit crimes by capturing humans, sheds or creatures of any race that are free to sell to slave auction sites. Those who are victims of kidnapping will automatically become slaves for life what else after being bought by nobles or wealthy merchants.

The slave hunter business is certainly very promising, which is why slave hunters often move in an organized manner and become one of the organizations working behind the scenes of the kingdoms on the mainland of Neverland. It was a system in the underworld, a rotten system that still existed until now even though the central land was threatened by the invasion of the demon clan.

Woli who had been a victim of the slave trade felt the need to act once she knew about it. He knew very well what it was like to be a slave since he was a child so Woli decided to live in the zero district and use his fighting skills to thwart the abduction of slave hunters.

Since Woli lived in the district, not only has the abduction rate been reduced but also other crime rates and to help those who are starving, The woli committed the theft downtown and distributed the loot. The routine that Woli did since he settled in the zero district of Lister city.

The sound of Belle's crying gets louder, on her left cheek looks bruised. Most likely it was a wound he got from the resistance he put on the kidnapper.

"Who? Who did it Belle? Do you know the man who kidnapped Irish?" Woli looks very worried, because Irish is very close to him. Irish are about the same age as Woli and their height is also about the same.

"I don't know.. The mask.. They wear masks." Belle sobbing.

"Masked.. What kind of mask are they wearing?" Woli held both shoulders of Belle who was still crying over her brother. "I don't know." Belle.

"Belle listen.. Be calm! Calm.. Just remember, is there something you remember specifically about the kidnapper?" Woli tried to kidnap information about the kidnappers.

Richard who was standing behind them had accidentally heard about the affliction, but Richard did not care. He took this opportunity to leave the Woli that was being preoccupied by Belle.

Belle, who had calmed down and remembered something, recalled a sign in the kidnapper's mask that attacked them. The semicircular sign is green, in the middle of the semicircle there is a small black dot. Belle told me about the sign on Woli. "alright.. I'm gonna go save your brother. You wait in the hut, I'll definitely save Irish." After saying that Woli rushed away, he left even though the wound he had sustained had not recovered. Woli ran away without a care anymore with Richard, right now he just wanted to save Irish.

"Sister.. The black-robed brother!" Belle shouted at Richard who was walking away.

"Sorry little boy but I don't have time for that!" Richard raised his hand and waved at the little boy as a gesture to move away.

Suddenly... Richard dodged by moving his head to the left. He avoided the stone Belle threw at him. "Bad brother.. What kind of friend is this brother! Whether brother will let Woli get hurt or killed." Belle is back.

"Huh.." Richard turned. "Look yeah! I'm not that werewolf friend. I'm just a stranger who doesn't want to get involved with your problems." Richard again avoided throwing stones from Belle.

"Bad brother!! Don't want to help me.."

"I just saw someone who wanted to ask for help threatening you." Richard Mumbled.

"Sister Woli.. Sis Woli is a good person, she also appreciates her friend a lot. He came to this place to find his old friend, he was a loyal friend. You should be grateful to know Kak Woli.. Then from that.. Please just.. Please help, Brother Woli." Belle cries with tears forcing Richard to come to her aid.

Richard was silent, he looked flat. Then he turned around and continued his footsteps, he headed towards the center of the city. "Basic is useless.. If only my good friend, Mr. Woli, was here, he would beat up my brother for not using his power to help people who need help." For some reason, Belle could feel the immense aura Richard had, which was why he insisted on asking Richard to help her.

"If only.. Holy knight Ignis is in this place, surely he will beat brother to the brunt." Belle yells at Richard without him knowing if Richard is the sacred knight Ignis she is referring to.

Richard stopped walking. "Hey little boy.. With the knight Ignis?" Ask Richard suddenly.

Belle, who was still crying while rubbing snot on her nose, said, "the knight Ignis is a good man.. He will definitely help me and help his friend, Mr. Woli.. Brother Woli told me if knight Ignis was the one who freed him from slaves, he was friendly and very gentle.. Even though many people say if the knight Ignis is a perverted and weak bad guy, Kak Woli still defends the knight Ignis because he thinks the knight Ignis is the greatest knight he has ever known.. He believed that. Brother Woli trusts his friend... " With tears in her eyes, Belle said many things about the knight Ignis she had heard from Woli.

At all times and at all times, Woli must have mentioned about the knights of Ignis and that made Belle also amazed the knights of Ignis.

The thing Belle said, indirectly made.. "alright.. Time to go. See you later, little boy." Richard again waved, this time he actually went away from Belle. Everything Belle said about the knight Ignis according to Richard. "The boy was far-fetched.. Huh!" Richard muttered that he didn't care at all.

"Basic.. You are useless!!" Belle was still crying, she saw Richard's back move away and disappeared from her sight. "Basic is useless.. Knight Ignis. Where're you!? Please do! Please, brother Woli and my brother!" Belle held her hands together, as if she were praying.

The twilight sky had disappeared in the darkness, a sign that the sun had completely set. The atmosphere of district zero is currently very dark because district zero is very minimal lighting. Thanks to the bright light from the direction of the city center and various other districts, district zero can be slightly bright because of the reflection of light from other districts, such as, but still it is enough to make the vision disturbed because of the dark.

Belle pondered, her sobbing sound still heard. He was currently sitting while hugging both of his legs and putting his head on the knees that he was bending. His attention was distracted when he saw a bright light, it was getting closer and now it was in front of Belle.

Belle saw a silhouette of that light, as she focused it turned out that the silhouette was a person wearing steel armor and the one that was glowing was her sword.

"Little child.. Why are you crying in the afternoon like this!?" Ask the man of passion.

"My brothers were kidnapped." Belle.

The armored man approached and squatted down in front of Belle, he wiped Belle's tears and smiled in front of her. "Let's save your brother from the kidnappers!" Firmly passionate man, he then carried Belle and went from that place.
