The Strongest Knight's

Ch. 87 - King Jolang takes action

Today should be the day when all the people of the capital of the Nusantara kingdom rejoice. Laughter and happiness, that is what should be heard today, not crying and panicking. A terrible explosion blew away all the fun and wreaked misery, just like that is what is happening right now.

The explosion made the royal palace of Nusantara which stood firmly to collapse almost flat with the ground. The survivors screamed for help, while the unlucky ones of them were instantly destroyed along with the explosion that turned part of the place into particles and small debris as well as the ground that was at that place cracked and landslide down.

Everything looks cheesy and shapeless as before. Let alone the palace buildings, interiors and ornaments contained in the palace were also shapelessly destroyed. The pillars and roof of the palace collapsed and killed those inside, including those in the throne room to witness the wedding ceremony.

While around the palace courtyard, there were many corpses visible. Many of them died as a result of being hit by the debris of the building or directly exposed to the effects of the blast ball.

Most of the corpses in the royal courtyard were not even intact anymore. There was a corpse that lost half its body, lost its arms, lost its head and a corpse whose body was smashed formless as a result of the impact from the explosion. It made the front courtyard of the palace flooded with blood from the corpses.

The sound of crying from those who were still alive rang out clearly, panic and the sound of their footsteps was also heard. They all ran out of the palace area, even pushing and stomping each other until not a few died because of it.

In the territory of the city itself, the remaining people and did not have time to enter the palace courtyard area could only see and feel the intense tremors from the explosion that destroyed the royal palace. Some were kneeling and crying, some were praying and some were running towards the palace after the explosion stopped to see the state of the people who were at the scene of the explosion.

Even with the magnitude of the explosion, the tremors that occurred to the city center also destroyed some buildings and injured the city residents. What's more, the strong wind that hit shortly after the explosion made some people bounce and hit.

On the outskirts of the city, the settlement of commoners. They saw the same thing, the people who were in that place saw clearly the thing that had just happened. In just one second, the gigantic palace they used to see from this settlement disappeared along with the loss of the blast light. All the residents of the capital and those around the capital knew of this incident. The event that destroyed the palace and its entire contents.

Located in the palace courtyard, where the place was still filled with dense fog of flying dust and those who were still alive were running around pushing each other out of the palace. Although many were still alive but they were not without injuries, they all had injuries from severe injuries to minor injuries.

They were scrambling to get out of the palace. Some run, walk, limp and some even suck because both legs are late crumbling. They were panicking, still panicking and knew nothing about the thing that had just happened.

In a tent in that place. A crying child who survived the explosion tried to wake her lifeless mother. His mother died protecting the child from the effects of the explosion.

Not far away, a soldier who was hit by a building pole screamed for help. Next to him again, an old man who fell down continued to pray. There was no one to help them all because the soldiers, knights and noble families were buried in the palace.

Several survivors soldiers and knights rose up from the ground after they had previously been blown away by the explosion. They were confused, they did not know what to do after all their leaders were buried inside the palace.

"What's going on!?" Said one of the knights who tried to look towards the palace, his gaze covered by dense dust still filling the place.

While chaos ensued in the palace that had been destroyed. On the other hand, the place where Mbah Raka was located, the very back of the royal palace.

Mbah Raka got back up after being hit by the impact of the explosion. Even though it is still in one area, the considerable distance between the magic castle and the king's palace made the magic castle not too affected even though the castle building also collapsed due to the ground vibration that occurred at the time of the explosion.

Mbah Raka tried to get up from the ground, prostrating himself while hitting the ground for regretting not being able to do anything. Surrounding it are many fallen trees due to the impact that occurred during the explosion.

He was angry and clasped the ground hard to vent his frustration. While the Devil who was fighting Mbah Raka was seen floating in the air, staring towards the palace that had disappeared was not left. The devil was just silent, he was not as aggressive as before when fighting with Mbah Raka, even the Devil was shedding tears, the crying demon was Linda.

Below him, Suica who was also knocked down by the explosion was currently unconscious due to being hit by a hard object in her head.

Not far from that place, in front of the ruins of the castle. The place where Ihsan was supposed to be, but at the moment he was nowhere to be seen anymore. Along with Ihsan who suddenly disappeared, Mbah Raka immediately realized something he felt. He got up from prostration and knelt down while glancing at the palace, as if something was heading towards that place.

Return to the palace that looks ravaged, in the throne room. The place where the party as well as the pronunciation of the wedding contract should take place.

The room is now buried by the rubble of the building. Those in the room died from the blast and were buried by collapsed roofs and columns.

From the room there was a rumbling sound of buildings, there seemed to be a moving wake, a moment later there were some people standing from under the building. They were some of the great knights who managed to bring out their ability to survive using the earth empire.

There were very few survivors and many did not have time to react when the explosion occurred. Among those who survived were the king's family, Jolang, empress, Gayatri and Galang who protected them shortly before the blast.

The others were the 3 great knights and some nobles they had protected.

They all looked shabby as the dust from the collapsed building, the room covered by the rubble making them difficult to breathe due to the lack of adequate air access. Sunlight did not even penetrate the ruins so the ruins of the room were minimal lighting.

"Uhukis.. Uhuk." Gayatri cleaned up the dust that covered her head.

"Gayatri.. My boy.. You're not papa." The Empress hugged Gayatri.

While the king of Jolang can only be silent to see the palace of his kingdom collapsed. On the right, Galang approached the bodies of his parents who did not survive and died due to building debris. Before the explosion, Galang had a choice between saving his parents or saving the king's family. He made up his mind when he remembered his responsibility as a great knight to protect the king.

It makes him regret this time, while crying Galang holding the cheek of his mother who was no longer life squeezed pole wake up.

"Why?" As Jolang said that, he immediately sat down to the back of his throne. He was shocked at what had just happened.

All this time he was always worried about sending all his strongest troops to Cebes Island, but he had no choice because of the insistence of the royal noble council. As with the royal system in this kingdom, military decision-making was taken in its decisions together with the royal noble council. The result of that decision now made the royal palace fall apart. The thing that made King Jolang very sorry.

The nobles who were still alive in the room were also only able to lament what happened. While the great knights tried to get out by moving the rubble of the buildings one by one, some were shouting outside so that outsiders who heard the screams could help them.

Never mind helping, everyone outside was still hysterical about the incident that had just happened.

Above the sky, a demonic figure descended with a huge negative aura radiance. That added to the fear of the residents of the capital, those who had approached the palace to help turned around to find out if there was a demon in the palace. Even with those who were already in the palace and trying to get out of the palace courtyard. Seeing Lucifer appear makes them more hysterical and increasingly vying to get out of the palace courtyard.

The knights who were around the place tried to block Lucifer but they were only considered as small insects by Lucifer. Just one strike, the knights who tried to attack him instantly died instantly.

Lucifer floated right above the pile of rubble that covered the throne room where king Jolang was. Lucifer uses magic to lift the rubble until the throne room is seen by Lucifer.

Meanwhile, those inside the rubble listened to the rumbling sounds of the buildings. They protect their heads from falling rocks.

"Baginda.. Looks like someone's trying to help us." Say one of the knights.

Shortly after, the light was seen from above. It got brighter when some debris was lifted until the sky was again visible to those in the room.

"We survived.. We survived." One of the nobles in the room cheered as he looked back at the blue sky and could breathe fresh air.

Not only him but all of them looked delighted until Lucifer revealed himself and slowly floated down towards them.

"Lucifer..!!" Said king Jolang.

The great knights who saw Lucifer immediately reacted, they moved towards the king of Jolang to protect him.

"Haha.. Unfortunately, this kingdom is already mine." Lucifer said as his feet touched the floor of the room.

King Jolang hugged the empress and her son tightly, she was clearly frightened at this moment.

"It's a pity that Rein Wijaya isn't here.. Haha." Lucifer laughed loudly.

Currently, there are 4 great knights who protect the king of Jolang and his family including Galang.

"Baginda.. We will attack that demon and when we attack, your lord and family must get out of this place!" Said Galang who was holding a sword with both hands.

"No.. I'm gonna fight." Said the king of Jolang taking off his embrace on his wife and son.

Jolang clearly knew the power of Lucifer, he knew that the great knights in existence today were not enough even if only to confront Lucifer for a moment.

"Iamazando.." Gayatri started to worry.

"Take off Gayatri, come closer to your mother." King Jolang pulled a weapon from behind his back.

"Three of you.. Help me fight it.." King Jolang asked 3 great knights to help him.

"Baginda.. How's me?" Ask Galang.

"Galong.. You brought them both from this place. Give your life to protect them both, you must go to the island of Cebes and go against Rein." Firmly king Jolang while glancing at the Empress and her daughter.

"Iamazando.." Gayatri refused.

The empress who looked into the eyes of king Jolang understood with that intention. The queen who shed tears held Gayatri tightly so that she would not draw near to her father. The empress clearly knew that what her husband Jolang was going to do was tantamount to suicide. He knew, that's why he pulled out an eye aie.

"Now.. Please help!" Said Jolang while reciting the spell by holding the dagger with that indentation.

"Baginda.. Alright." Galang then ran to the right, where there was a gap visible. He intended to destroy the rocks that covered the gap so that they could get out of this room.

"Wait.. Wait for us!" The nobles who saw the movement of Galang shouted to come along.

"Whispering.." After saying that, Galang killed all the surviving nobles with just one small strike.

The massacre made Jolang and the big moment nearby growled furiously and began to attack Lucifer.

"Bad.. Lucifer...." King Jolang was angry, he took out his heirloom.

King Jolang was not a weak person, he could also fight. What's more, he currently holds a royal heirloom that holds great power and is currently using that heirloom to fight with Lucifer.

Gayatri who was still hysterical saw her father while running along with the Empress and Galang. Gayatri kept shouting but her mother kept pulling Gayatri to keep running away while Jolang kept Lucifer a little busy.

Along with the overflowing anger.. The powerful aura coming out of Jolang made Lucifer smile. At present, with the magic heirloom held by Jolang, it is enough to make him confident in his strength because the heirloom he holds is storing the strength of the ancestors of the previous kings. The heirloom was 'Keris Ciung Wanara', one of the powerful weapons that existed on the Neverland mainland.
