The Strongest Knight's

Ch. 16 - Reconnaissance

Moments earlier, at the forefront of the battle the island defended its last stronghold on the island of Irian.

It is located 20 km from the last fort.. There were rows of soldiers patrolling around the area.

There is also a solid wall that stands that is made using creation magic with earth-type imperium. On the other side of the wall, stood tents as resting places for soldiers and knights.

On the other hand, 2 km away from the camp of the soldiers and knights, the army of the Demon clan was approaching slowly.

"Titus.. Looks like they're moving." Said a knight who was currently peeking at the enemy's movements from behind the thickets.

"We have to report this to headquarters." Say another one.

"I have sent an eagle to pay attention to Lord Benuwa. But somehow I don't feel good."

They were both knights who were stalking the enemy's movements. It meant that the two of them were very close to death.

"Titus, my feeling is really bad. You better go back to the tent and report the movements of the demon clan." The knight Abumue looked towards Titus while holding his shoulder.

"What about you?"

"I'll be here and stalking their movements, which is clear right now we have to give this important information before it's too late." Abumue.

A very precarious thing had happened this time before their eyes. It was seen that the army of monsters from the Demon clan had made preparations to attack directly in this dark night.

Unlike usual, wars are common in the morning or afternoon. But because of the strange movements of the monsters from the stronghold of the demon clan made the two knights assume that the enemy will attack tonight.

At the time they were engaged in a debate behind the bush.

"Titus... Watch out."

The explosion sent the two of them crashing from their hiding place. Lucky for Abumue to realize the impending attack, the two of them were able to dodge the attack.

They crashed quite far away due to the effects of the explosion that almost killed them. "It looks like we've been caught." Said Titus who tried to get up.

"Quick titus.. Get the fuck out of here. You must deliver a message to Mr. Benuwa at our camp." Abumie said in a panic.

After the attack.. Suddenly, around them, there was a living skull carrying a weapon. They were the army of the demon clan from the skull-shaped undead race.

The undead race was one of the races that served the demon clan in addition to the monsters. Undead skulls are generally very weak and can be defeated in just one attack.

"The skull is only alive." Titus drew his sword.

"No.. You should leave Titus. It could have been that the letter we had sent did not reach the camp. You must convey the enemy's movements to Mr. Benuwa, otherwise... There will be a massacre." Clearly Abumue was tensely holding her weapon.

Right now, the situation is both desperate. Not long after the explosion they had been cornered and surrounded by the skull undead complete with their weaponry.

"My blood is boiling." Titus was excited.

Titus let out an attack, he approached the group of skulls and attacked with his sword. Quite a single powerful slash of several shattered life skulls on his face, Titus retreated back then he raised his sword to the sky..

The sky suddenly rumbled and a flash of lightning struck and united with the sword held by Titus. Now the sword held by Titus looks bright because it is flowed by electricity snatching blue resulting from the lightning that snatched his sword. It was the result of the fusion of the lightning empire fusing with his weapon. .

"It's time to party." Titus said confidently.

"Titus don't be rash." Abumue whose feelings were bad since earlier tried to remind Titus.

"Dead you all.. Aaarrreegg."

Titus looks very swimming.. He continued to brandish his electric sword while occasionally releasing exploding electric plasma if the enemy was hit by the attack.

Meanwhile, Abumue with a giant sword on her shoulder also made the skull undead shatter instantly with a single swing.

"Why do I still feel bad. It's too easy.." Benak Abumue's.

Before long, half of the undead army was destroyed and the road to escape was already visible. To open the path and flatten the undead pasuka that surrounded them.

Abumue raised his greatsword and threw the sword to the ground until it split the ground and also made the ranks of undead shatter instantly.

"Now Titus.. We have to go." Abumue said running when he saw the gap for the second of the skulls.

They both ran as hard as they could.. But..

"Titus... Awass's." As Abumue approached Titus, he pushed Titus away.

Titus.. He saw with his own two eyes that Abumue was currently losing her right hand.

Abume fell and endured the pain.. His right hand was destroyed by the explosion. He was drowning in pain while trying to get up.

"Aahhhrrgg's... Now I know why I've had such a bad feeling since." Said Abumue looking at the figure that was currently blocking them.

"Lacking... Yaaaaerrrggg" Titus ran towards the figure while pulling out his sword.

Abumue quickly confronted Titus by creating a wall in front of Titus using earth magic.

"Abumen.. What are you doing. Why block me?"

"Listen Titus.. You can use wind magic. You must leave now with all your abilities. Use your power to escape.. Either way you should be able to reach the headquarters up ahead." Abumue was very serious.

Titus who saw Abumue's earnestness was shocked, at this moment Abumue's face revealed someone who was ready to die.

"You humans never learn.. You're trash!"

"Bad..." Titus ignited his emotions and flew through the wall of land created by Abumue. Titus used the wind impulse to hover while in the air, making use of the wind empire he had.

Not yet Titus reached that figure.. "Tiiietttuuusssss" Abume yelled at him.

Titus stopped and looked towards Abumue.

"We won't win against the creature.. In-he is.. Lucifer. One of the strongest demons leading the Demon clan." Abumue with all her energy explained the figure that was currently blocking them.

"Ap.. Wh-what!?" Titus surprised.. His face was pale and his body was trembling. Now he knew why Abumue looked so desperate.

"Your deaths are clear.." Said Lucifer the devil, pointing his index finger at Titus.

Titus had not yet reacted.. His stomach was already hollowed out by the attack from Lucifer. "Eh.. Wh-what.. Yeah-that happened." Titus fell.. He had a wound in the stomach.

"Tiiittsssss.." Abumue ran towards Titus.

But.. Just stepped once all of a sudden. Abumue's left leg also fared the same as his right hand.. His left leg exploded and spewed out a lot of blood.
