The Strongest Knight's

Ch. 124 - The Journey Continues

In the middle of the sea, the kingdom of Skandia. Several ships were seen circling a small boat with two people on board in a state of unconsciousness.

On the large ship, the soldiers and knights with full armament stood glancing at the foreign boat that had just entered their kingdom. One of the highlights was a man with flapy hair with full armour standing up while giving orders.

The man was the leader of the Scandian naval fleet, as well as the second son of the king of the Scandinavian kingdom named Bordex Erling.

"Prince Erling.." A knight faced him while kneeling. "What should we do with those two people?" The kneeling knight.

"Their clothes are foreign.. It seems like the two of them are not from this region." Erling looked down at the small boat Ihsan and Gayatri were riding in.

Then, the hose didn't last long..

Ihsan opened his eyes, he narrowed his eyes due to the light that hit his eyes just after opening his eyes, quite dazzling of course. After adjusting his eyes to the light of the morning sun, he was shocked to be surrounded by a large ship full of fully armed soldiers and knights. "Where?" He looks to the right and to the left.

The confused Ihsan glanced at Gayatri who was still lying unconscious in wet clothes in front of her. "Eh.. Princess.." Ihsan squatted down and tried to check on Gayatri.

Meanwhile, from the direction of the large ship that was in the middle of another ship. Erling shouted when she saw Ihsan move. "Who are y'all? Why did you get to this area.. We are the fleet of the Skandian kingdom, in the name of the king.. Introduce yourself!" He shouted out loud.

Ihsan who was still trying to wake Gayatri was surprised, because they had managed to get out of the Nusantara kingdom. Suddenly he raised his hand, a sign of surrender and did not want to fight. Then shouted back Erling's words to him. "We are from the Nusantara kingdom.. We want to meet the king of Skandia." Her speech.

Some of the soldiers and knights were shocked, while some did not believe and assumed that the two of them could have been intruders from the Demon clan.

"Prince.. They are both suspicious. We'd better catch them." Said one of the knights on the other ship.

"Wait.. Please listen first. I am Ihsan Wijaya son of Rein Wijaya and this unconscious woman is the daughter of the king.. Gayatri Ingalaga." Firmly Ihsan who still raised his hand.

Erling frowned, the article he once housed Gayatri when she was 7 years old. The meeting came during an agenda of diplomacy between the alliance's founding kingdoms a few years ago. "The gayatri? What's going on with you guys?" Asked Erling loudly.

"Master.. It's emergencies. The Nusantara Kingdom has fallen in the hands of the Devil clan." Ihsan.

"What?" Erling was certainly surprised, even with the soldiers and knights. They were surprised by news of the defeat of the Nusantara kingdom, a powerful kingdom that holds almost the entire land area of Neverland in the east.

Meanwhile, it is in another dimension. The darksideland... The demon clan palace.

The throne room of the palace, there is nothing inside this palace. There was only a light of fire that was lit as a light from the darkness of the state of the palace, even outside the palace. The sound of thunder rumbles, the wind storms are quite noisy and occasional earthquakes occur. Such was the current situation, the situation that occurred in almost the entire Darksideland.

In that throne room, kneeled a demon who was seriously injured from his fight with an unknown man. Rever the sin of anger, he is seen kneeling while enduring the pain of his broken left arm being burned by the red-eyed man.

And in front of him.. Standing next to the throne chair made from the pile of bones of the previous king. The demon looked down at Rever, when compared to him.. A demon like Rever is nothing. "What's wrong with you?" Ask the devil.

"Sir.. Sorry for being negligent, I underestimated my enemies so much that I deserved this much injury." Clearly Rever is still down.

"Stupid.. What exactly are you doing?"

"I came because of Luca.. My subordinate asked for the master's help, however, his abilities were very useful to the Demon clan." Obviously Rever once again.

The devil is angry, he moves his hand.. Rever instantly moved straight towards the demon that was in front of him. Rever seemed to be sucked by something and currently his neck was being strangled by the wrathful demon for his reckless actions . "Tch.. You're doing this only for your useless subordinates.

"look at the wounds you have suffered.. I've never seen one of the strongest Devils like you get to experience this, the Demon King didn't even order you to make a move..." The devil that strangled him.

"But sir, Luca has done his job with the breed. If only the red-eyed man did not come maybe when the portal could be opened wide again.. We can easily send Mr. Behemoth to the territory." Rever defended himself, he felt if his subordinates had done the right thing.

"Tch... How else, we will forcibly seize the territory of the Inggram kingdom if the time has come. That region was the best point in the western part of Neverland to bring up Behemoth." The demon threw the Rever forward.

"Si-ready sir, but there are people we should beware of. That's the guy who got me hurt like this." Rever went back to his knees after he was knocked down.

"Who is that guy?"

"I don't know either, sir.. That person was even more dangerous than a holy knight. His name is Red." Resolutely Rever with full of vengeance.

"Red?.. I've never heard that name.. Never mind.. No matter how strong the guy is, I'm sure.. When you fight him again of course you can still win? Aye.. Rever???" The demon pressed down on his voice as he called out the name Rever.

"Yes, sir of course.. I can still win." Rever said confidently, his eyes veined if he was so vengeful towards the red-eyed man.

"alright.. Then go back to Neverland and wait for the next order!"

"Sir.. What about the holy knights? I hear they're growing and defeating our army a lot?"

"Stupid.. Let it go, they are not a threat at all. We'll kill them when the time comes.. If they had even reached the highest peak of their strength, they would still not be a threat in my eyes and in the eyes of the Demon King. They were just stupid clowns being taken advantage of by the royal alliance, all of them.. Will die in time." The demon smiled with a black aura that was more concentrated than any demon that had ever appeared in this world.

Somewhere else..

Still with a peaceful morning atmosphere with the chirping of forest birds that sounded up to the old castle.. The morning calm waned when Rebecca screamed loudly at a woman sleeping in Smits' arms...

"Aaaahahaharrhgggg... SMITS, YOU!" The extremely loud scream made the other holy knights awaken.

Smits opened his eyes. "Dadeuh.. Noisy woi." She looked at Rebecca with a strange face while pointing at her. The unconscious smits jumped up, and he was surprised that the woman he helped last night was suddenly in his arms even though he and the woman were still in clothes.

The furore happened.. The peaceful morning turned into a rowdy morning.

A few moments later.. In the dining room of the castle, they were all sitting with tense faces, while the shabbily dressed woman was still tightly hugging the arms of Smits beside her.

"Oi miss please let go.. I don't want this to be a misunderstanding." Said Smits staring at the woman, but the woman did not care. The woman continued to hug Smits tightly.

"Ehem.. So what does this mean Smits?" Rebecca with her vile gaze asked for clarification, while Ivy laughed awkwardly beside her.

"eek.. Hehe.." Gildarts smiled, as he already knew the story about the woman from the Smits the night before.

"Uncle please help me explain to them.." Smits was nervous, he asked Gildarts for help but Gildarts only smiled wordlessly.

Pege, from afar just looked while sitting still to continue his morning meditation.

Smits did not know where to start, especially the woman he helped continued to hug his arms tightly. And then in the middle of silence.. Gerald who had been standing and kneeling before them.

They were all surprised.

"It is fortunate that I was able to meet the holy knights.. Meet me, Gerald Grifindor, a member of the magic consulate of the wizarding town of Lockdown." He said on his knees, filled with formality.

"Huh.. This guy is also this guy." Rebecca blushed instead.

Gildarts who saw the man's look immediately puffed his chest, he could not accept when Rebecca admired the look of the witch.

"The woman." Gerald pointed towards the woman who was hugging Smits' arm. "She was a prisoner who escaped from the town of Lockdown, her name was Anne Diggory, a witch from the Diggory family who was one of the founding wizard families of the town of Lockdown." Gerald continued, he then told them the chronological happened the night before, where the Smits suddenly came to rescue Anne from the pursuit of Gerald who wanted to capture her.

Gerald again explained to them that the Diggory family is a family affected by the curse of demonic magic, the curse that makes the Diggory family can transform like a demon with destructive power that can destroy a city in just a day. The curse was obtained by the Diggory family during the war defending the city of Lockdown from the invasion of the Demon clan decades ago, the war that ended in defeat made all the Diggory family accept the curse of the devil.. Since then those who are descendants of the Diggory family have been isolated and locked up by higher-ranking authorities Lockdown said in order not to become a threat in the outside world.

"That's why I was ordered to arrest Anne Diggory.." Clearly Gerald looked at Smits who was still hesitant with Gerald's explanation.

"so apparently.. Hmmm.." Smits thought long, he glanced at Anne who kept hugging him. Suddenly...

Plakkkp..

"Patty.. You've fallen into love magic well.. Aye right? Quickly release the dangerous woman." Rebecca tapped Smits' head with her fist.

"Oi.. I'm older than you.. Fuckin." Smits yells, they end up bickering and silliness ensues until Ivy finally breaks them up. "Hehe.. Already, already..." Ivy.

Moments after that situation of tension and silliness was over. Smits stared intently at Gerald.. "Oh yeah, I remember last night you could control monsters? Is that magic? Or.."

"Yes.. It's magic sir. After all, as a city of magic and a place of flourishing magic knowledge. Lockdown City stored a wide variety of powerful magic weapons and items, one of which was an item that could control monsters." Gerald.

"Oh.. Hm, it seems you're not lying."

"Yes already then, quickly hand over the woman Smits.. Hmm." Rebecca threw her face away, she was still upset.

Anne did not respond, she was frightened and chose to hide her face even deeper into Smits' back. "Oi miss.. Please don't do this to me.. Hadeh." Smits gritted, he felt uncomfortable but on the other hand he also felt that Anne was a good person.

"Master please.. Trust me, the Diggory family is really dangerous. I've seen some of the Diggory family whose demon magic curse is active suddenly arrive.. That, it completely destroyed almost the entire town of Lockdown." Gerald looked down and recalled the moment when Lockdown was in disarray due to the rampage of demonic curse magic.

"I don't know but.. I feel like Anne's not that dangerous." Ivy said so after trying to communicate with Anne even though her words and actions were unrequited because Anne looked embarrassed and scared.

"Well.. Kan, I feel the same way Ivy feels." Firm Smits.

"Hey hey.. Ivy.. Eerrrggg you're starting to follow hah. Look, pity this handsome guy, he's just doing his job.. Uncle... Hurry up say something." Rebecca said with annoyance.

"Hm.. Excuse me first, I'll make breakfast.. Hehe." Gildarts ignores Rebecca, who escapes under the pretext of making breakfast.

"Damn you uncle... Eerrggg." Rebecca was getting irritated because no one was following her opinion. He sees Pege, but unfortunately as soon as Pege sees if Rebecca wants to say something, Pege turns his face away and closes his eyes because he does not want to interfere. "Rhhhhhhhhhh.." Rebecca was furious, she cranky like a teenager who was puberty.

"Tch.. Shit, what should I do now. I can't fight them." Gerald murmured in his heart.

"Dadeuh.. Just bother." Mumbled Smits, then he continued. "What if.. We're taking Anne back to Lockdown!?"

"Oh!" Gerald was surprised, even with the other holy knights.

"Oio.. Smits, we don't have time.. We have to continue the journey." Said Rebecca.

"Where's Rebecca going..? Are we not on a journey to become stronger. It would be interesting if we found something extraordinary on the way to Lockdown.." Smits smile.

While Gerald was stunned. "But taun.. Lockdown is a city of witches and all that can enter the city is a witch." Her speech.

"Just calm down, we are holy knights.. We can also cast magic." Ivy who seemed to agree with the idea of Smits looked excited.

"eeee... Hehe." Gerald willed, he could not say anything.

"How's Gerald.. Is there a problem with that? After all, if Anne is a dangerous person like you said, then there should be no problem, right?.. All right, I'd like to meet with the Lockdown city authorities and ask you directly about the story you told us about the Diggory family." Firm Smits.

Gerald was silent, he just smiled awkwardly while hiding something.

"Isn't that good.. You can be escorted by the holy knights.. Huhahaha." Rebecca laughed, but she did not agree to support this plan. "Hehe.. I could have stared longer at Gerald's handsome face.. Uhhh." Benak Rebecca's.

"Ohh." Gerald was troubled, he saw Anne who was tightly hugging Smits' arm. "Woman ******." Heart's churning.

"How is.. And if Anne were to go berserk in the middle of the street then I'd kill her myself.." Firmly Smits once again.

Feeling desperate by the offer, Gerald smiled. "alright... That, that's a good offer." He said unsure.

"All right... It's been decided, our next destination is the town of Lockdown." Firmly Smits to his colleagues.

Time passed, a bright morning became a hot afternoon, especially in the western region of Neverland. Still in the Lister city of Inggram kingdom, more precisely in district zero.. A small hut belonging to Irish and Belle where from dawn Richard rested.

His body had recovered, although it was still in pain but Richard had decided to continue the journey. He will die the city of Lister, walking without direction in search of the land of Gres.

Before he continued his journey, Irish first prepared lunch for him. Although he refused but his stomach that reads say if currently Richard really needs nutrients from food, therefore.. The four of them had lunch together like a family.

Belle smiled as she looked at Richard. "Uncle.. Hehe, thank you!" Belle said plainly to Richard.

Irish rubbing Belle's head. "Eat a lot." Her speech.

"My master.." As they enjoyed lunch, Woli suddenly stood up. "I've been looking for you all this time, please.. Wherever you go, let me come!" Said firmly.

Richard didn't budge.

"Master please.. Take me wherever you go!?"

"Huh..." Richard sighed, while Irish and Belle were just listening. "First, I'm not your master.. Second, don't call me Richard in front of anyone.. And lastly, I.." suddenly Richard's memory of his comrades returned, treason and was thrown away. Even the memory of him in his former world, he was always alone no one accompanied. Is correct.. Richard was lonely with his life.

"No.. I'm better off on my own. I'm used to it myself.." Richard said to Woli after his past thoughts flashed by.

"Master... Please just. I admire your kindness.. To me you are a real knight." Woli insisted.

"Master.. I shouldn't have interfered, but all this time Woli went through a lot just to look for your whereabouts. When your name becomes a joke.. Woli always defends and willingly gets hurt for your good name because she believes that werewolf instincts are never wrong." Somehow the Irish who saw the seriousness of Woli coaxed Richard.

"Irish's.." Woli said.

"Uncle.. Please don't hate the woli." Belle also begged for Woli.

"Dar!"

"Aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. Never mind, besides the journey I took would be very dangerous, I'm not sure which way to go." Richard still refused the three of them sincere requests.

"No.. Dangerous or even life threatening.. I'd like to come with you! Please.."

"Huh.. Anyway I'm going to a place that doesn't necessarily exist.. So you better not come.." Richard refused.

"Ah.. Is Mr Woli going to Darksideland?" Woli asked the thing that made Richard choke.

"Stupid... No way, I'm going to look for an Olympic mountain that's supposedly located in the mainland of Gres." Strictly Richard while eating a piece of wheat bread.

"Ah.. Yeah, I know where it is.. I-i know. Let me take you, sir." Woli smiled reassuringly to Richard.

"really?"

"Of course.., hehe.."

"Huh.. No other choice, all right. Pack up after eating, we will leave if the sun has passed its highest point in the sky (midday)." Richard looked at the excited Woli immediately after hearing Richard's words.
