The Strongest Knight's

Ch. 17 - Front Line

Still on the front line of the last fort defense..

Among the several tents standing, right in the middle there is a different tent than others, probably because the size is quite large.

Within the tent, there were several knights who were discussing the war strategy against the demon clan. Bright enough because one of the knights of the light empire user, the light is very enough to illuminate the entire tent.

The great knight of the Nusantara kingdom named Benuwa who led the frontline troops seemed depressed over their defeat for Manua City a few weeks ago until they had to retreat far to the fortress of Ampt to think about next step.

On his side were another knight from the Nusantara kingdom named Ortis and another named Petr. Of all the knights who fought all out in the previous war, now all that is left of the frontline troops are only the three of them.

In addition to them there are also knights from the kingdom of Eledherim who are a nation of elves with pointed ears and long hair, and pale white with a height of 190 cm named Roxy Iuwana.

And the last is a great warrior from the kingdom of Dongion named Simon Mcmain.

The five of them are the strongest people who currently maintain the front line of the last bastion of Irian island in the Nusantara kingdom.

Speaking of the knight system on the land of Neverland. At least the humans occupying an empire had made the caste system even in the body of its combat power.

The caste is distinct from the caste that is formed on the basis of blood and offspring. The system formed in the body of a kingdom's combat power is based on the strength possessed by a soldier.

Generally the most powerful among them will be called the great warrior, as well as the right hand of the kings. While below them there are great knights whose numbers are different in each kingdom.

Then there were the common knights led by the great knights. What distinguishes them from ordinary soldiers is that the knights wear armor. Besides being useful for defense in fighting, also to reinforce their status as royal knights.

While below them were warrior levels, usually they only used ordinary combat clothing and were not particularly conspicuous compared to the knights. After the soldiers, then the next recruits soldiers from the people who are ready to defend the kingdom.

It was a system of battle power levels that was built up in several kingdoms led by humans, while for other parts of the kingdom it had different systems. Call it the Norwegian royal system, they do not do things like give knight titles. For the Norwegians, a title was figurative and had no effect on them.

Back to the big tent. Now the five of them were quite worried about what would happen next, considering that they currently lacked the combat power to withstand the onslaught of the demon clan.

"Simon sir, can the reinforcements from your country come on time?"

"I'm not sure either, but there's no harm in wishing."

"Mr Pistris has also not provided any information on the reinforcements from the central palace and the soldiers of the round table conference results." Just remembering that alone has made the great knight Benuwa dizzy instead of braids.

"Sambash.." Benak Simon the knight of the Dongion kingdom.

Right now, their minds were extremely difficult to decide what strategy they would implement to defend the frontlines of the demon clan. Because without the aid forces it is quite impossible to survive even in half a day.

In the midst of a serious conversation, a soldier entered the tent.

"Report sir.. The scouts who were in front had returned carrying an important message." He said while kneeling.

"returned? Why didn't he send a letter."

"What's? Where is he now?" The knights who heard that were shocked.

They all immediately headed for the treatment tent to meet Titus who was already dying from the serious injuries he had sustained.

When you enter the tent.. Simon bowed to him as if he knew that the knight's life was not long. Bagimana.. A gaping wound, making his stomach hollow until it passes from front to back. But miraculously the knight was able to get to the camp even in terrible conditions.

The great knight Benuwa knelt down and approached beside Titus who was currently half conscious. "Titus.. What's going on?"

"laa... La-rr." Titus' condition was enough to make him unable to speak much. He was not even fluent in saying a sentence because of the wounds he received.

"Titus's Swallow.. Where's Abumue?" Benuwa again tried to talk to Titus.

"Lu.. Lu-cifs.. Lu."

Roxy holds Benuwa's shoulder..

Benuwa responded and turned towards Roxy.. Roxy shook her head as a sign that Titus was about to die.

Benuwa held Titus' hand tightly..

"Wash-lu.. Lucife - r." Titus was his last word.

Heard that speech.. It was enough to make the knights who heard that goosebumps.

"No way." Roxy said, her eyes wide open.

"How could he be here now." one of the other knights also responded.

"This is bad, Mr. Benuwa.. We have to back off." Simon started to panic.

"But.. If we retreat now, the village ahead will be wiped out." Benuwa said desperately.

In the midst of their anxiety..

Titus' body exploded, turning parts of his body into tiny pieces. Blood filled the tent, also about the armor of the knights.

Then.. At the place where Titus' knight lay and exploded.. Currently stood a figure of a creature. His body was like a human but it was red-skinned and had a long tail that dangled to the floor.

His eyes are red.. Very sharp and gripping. Although it is only 160 cm tall.. But the overwhelming killing aura emanated was extremely powerful.. The creature was a high-level demon named.. Lucifer.
