The Strongest Knight's

Ch. 68 - Cunning Plan

"Astharot's.."

Hearing his name mentioned, the devil was gathered in front of Lucifer who was sitting quietly on the throne seat made of a collection of skulls of knights who lost the war defending the island of Irian.

"Ready master." Said lowered.

"Are there any updates from Diablo?" Lucifer scratched his forehead, maybe he was impatient to immediately take over the entire Nusantara kingdom.

"Currently, Diablo is still sailing towards the island of Jatra sir."

"I'm bored.. I can't wait to see a look of misery, a gaze where there's no hope left." Just imagining those things.

"Sir.. Please forgive. Just be patient a little more." One of the Devils in the room approached and knelt down, as did Astharot.

"I admire the way you've concocted strategy, but it's been too long. I'm not patient.." Lucifer seems restless, as an ambitious demon. He wanted to immediately present victory to the demon lord.

"I know sir, you are the greatest, but the army that leads the 100,000 to the island of Cebes cannot be underestimated. What else led them was a great knight." The fat devil stood up while rubbing his thick mustache.

"It was a big blunder, leaving the royal capital defenseless. Indeed, if humans are greedy then they no longer think clearly." Be firm once again.

"Alright.., I've always liked your cunning ways. Haha." Lucifer laughed with satisfaction.

"There's one more thing, my lord.. It seems from the results of the meeting of the 12 kings, according to a trusted informant. Reportedly they are preparing a joint force again to be sent to the capital of the kingdom of Nusantara." Astharot bowed while saying things he should not know because after all the meeting took place in the spirit world.

"Calm down, my lord.. They won't get to. We'll already take control of the royal capital before they even sail towards Jatra island." The fat devil again expressed his opinion.

"Haha.. I don't give a shit. More enemies then more I can kill." Lucifer took the matter lightly. It was only natural considering he was the most arrogant demon amongst the others.

"Yes of course my lord. You are the greatest.. Praise be to the devil who will be bestowed, praiseworthy." the fat devil made the other Luciferians make a sound and the voice rumbled along the throne room in a castle located in the region of Sirian island.

Meanwhile, in the middle of the sea with relatively less intrusive waves and strong winds that increasingly make the sail of large fleet ships Rein Wijaya troops speed quickly without any obstacles.

On the front ship, Rein who was only wearing ordinary clothes without carrying any weapons saw a medium-sized boat from the opposite direction approaching.

As the boat passed Rein's large boat, he gave orders for the medium-sized boat to lower its anchor.

Rein along with several other knights approached the boat using a small lifeboat to check the cargo from the medium-sized boat.

When he arrived and began to climb into the boat, he saw a female knight who was quick to stand straight in front of him.

"Well.." Rein muttered as he looked at the woman.

"Master.. I am Suica the knight from the kingdom of Inggram who was assigned by Mr. Depone to escort the other knights who were wounded in the war over the island of Irian, to immediately head for the royal capital." His words complete their first meeting.

"Oh, Miss Suica." Rein smiled awkwardly at the sprightly and sturdy position shown by Suica.

"Sorry sir, if I may know what your name is? Are you leading this fleet?" Suica clearly knew about the 100,000 naval fleets heading for the island of Cebes.

"A.. Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. Just call me Rein. Hehe." Said Rein.

Suica was surprised because the shabby-looking man wearing ordinary clothes in front of her was Rein Wijaya, the great knight of the Nusantara kingdom. Without a second thought he knelt down, because after all the position of the great knight was the highest position among the other knights.

While Rein, seeing that he was not good and felt sad until he finally told Suica to get up. For Rein, the formality and manners of the knights were very disturbing and troublesome.

Finally, the brief introduction continued with a serious conversation about the contents and cargo of the boat used by Suica.

Not without reason, as a great knight Rein felt there was something odd about the boat he was currently riding on. It can be said that intuition that appears suddenly is sometimes right but not infrequently also wrong.

As the one in charge, Suica naturally welcomed Rein's intention to inspect all the boat's passengers, from the goods to the wounded knights. All did not escape the observant view of a Rein Wijaya.

Until finally he arrived in a room that was located right under the wheel of the ship. A room that could be said to be rather luxurious from another room and there was only one person lying in a bed in the room.

That person was Lingard, a great knight as well as Suica's superior who could only lie down because both of her legs were stumped.

When Rein walked into the room, Lingard, who saw, of course, tried to rise as much as possible as a tribute to Rein because Lingard knew and knew the position of a Rein Wijaya.

"Ah Mr. Rein." Lingard.

Rein responded by again letting Lingard lie down due to conditions that did not allow for respect as a formality of the knights.

"Who am I talking to right now?" Rein said, he looks serious.

"Ah.. I am Lingard the great knight of the Inggram kingdom."

The brief introduction was the beginning of a long discussion about what happened in the attack on the island of Irian approximately 2 months ago.

Without Rein noticing, their journey at sea had already lasted over two weeks, if the weather is still as it is today they will likely arrive at the port city of Upang tomorrow afternoon and will travel overland to the city of Kander by road trip.

It was a long journey, but it was fortunate that the demon army had not moved at all to attack the city of Kander until now.

"So that's what it looks like." Rein stroked the beard while listening closely to what had happened to Lingard and the alliance troops while facing Lucifer on the island of Irian.

"It's true, you can't do anything. What's more against 2 at once demons with big sins like Lucifer and Rever." Rein continued.

"I'm lucky enough to be alive right now. If it wasn't for Mr. Depone, I might be dead." Lingard said looking at his two stumped legs.

From the beginning of the conversation, the two of them, Rein carefully continued to pay attention to Lingard because he was convinced that there was something strange about Lingard who made his mind disturbed just that he was not sure because Lingard had not told a lie and had not told a lie since no suspicious moves.

"Depone yet? Yep.. He's really great." Rein recalled Depone, one of the knights he had guided.

"Mr Rein, sorry to cut but you better go ahead. If there are no obstacles then you will arrive sooner at the port of Upang." Suica advised.

True, because Rein had delayed their journey for a long time in order to check the boat inhabited by these wounded knights. Rein had also seen Linda's unconscious condition in a different room.

Rein's reason for stalling was the unpleasant feeling he felt while riding this medium-sized boat.

"I may be wrong." His mind.

"Alright, then I go out first Mr. Lingard." Rein.

Lingard was quick to give a respectful posture even though he was lying on the bed.

Rein walked out and climbed back up to the deck of the ship. He was still unsure, but nothing unusual. His mind was confused, until he finally convinced himself that the thing that was bothering him was not what was in this boat, but what bothers him is the demon army that until now has not also attacked the port city of Kander.

"May you survive to the destination,.. Ah, no need to worry, in the middle of the journey we have defeated all the monsters and demons that control several villages. You can arrive at the capital as soon as the boat docks in the harbor." Said Rein.

Of course, an army of 100,000 people could easily defeat the small army of monsters and demons that were visible throughout their travels and stopover on several islands to transport necessities.

"Good sir. Thank you.." Suica kneels.

Rein smiled and went down to the little lifeboat to return to the big head across the boat.

"Refresh the screen." Suica said as soon as Rein was far enough from her boat.

Go back inside the room where Lingard was lying. He seemed to be smiling, a meaningful smile that was a bit creepy.

"The first obstacle passed, just wait for Mr. Lucifer.. I'll be in the capital soon." Mumbled.
