"Three half-elf siblings, huh. Interesting..." Muttered Oz, with an amused face.
"You're the strange one here, what are you anyway? A magician? For a magician, you got a well-built body there, black master," Said the blue-haired cloaked guy with a rather lousy manner.
The blue-haired guy is only equipped with a knife, his attire is like an assassin, he's movement is nimble and swift, no hesitation could be seen from his eyes.
"Alfred big bro!" Said Edreale the purple-haired bard girl.
"Well, there are no rules about a magician may not train their body right?" Answered Oz with a shrug.
"Well, rather than that, I think that we didn't have enough leisure to fight amongst us here," (Oz)
!?
As Oz said that word, all of them finally realized that there is a lot of presences are surrounding them right now. As the others are surprised, Oz approaches the cage that imprisons his people.
"Hm... What a good lock this is," Muttered Oz as he examines the lock.
"Well, let's not waste too much time on this," Said Oz and he slammed his staff to the ground, and the lock suddenly got burn and melts. The lock is not an ordinary lock, Oz could feel that it is enhanced by magic. But Oz's fire arch magic is too strong, and the lock easily melted.
"A-are you, Ren, your highness?" Asked one of the elves.
"We talk later, we're going out from here first," Said Oz.
"Azaline, Geeta, try your best to minimize the casualties, don't kill the guards, but kill the one who looks like their leader. The rest of you, capture one of the guards for us to interrogate," Oz ordered Geeta, Azaline, and the just-freed prisoners.
The three siblings confusedly watched Oz ordering around goblins, elves, and centaurs.
"""Yes, your highness,""" Answered all of them.
"Three of you, feel free to join us," Said Oz as he prepares his staff.
"We don't need your-" (Sen)
"Let's follow them for now, Sen. It might be advantageous for us to join them, there are too many guards surrounding us right now," said Alfred.
"B-but..." Sen wanted to rebuke, but he decided to follow Alfred's orders obediently. About 100 guards are surrounding them right now, and all of them were at least at the master swordsman rank, and there are four sword saints too.
"Well now, let's remove this strange-looking tent first," Said Oz with his usual smirk, and burns the tent. The 100 guards surrounding them jolted in surprise when they saw the burning tent, they never thought that their ambush will be discovered.
Oz points his staff forward and says: "Attack,"
Azaline and Geeta immediately dashed to the enemies at their right, while the 6 elves, 4 centaurs, and 9 goblins rush to the enemies on their left. The warriors from Tarot are strong and skilled, normal soldiers are not a match for them.
*Sound of whistle*
"They're strong! How the hell could they get captured with that level of skill?" (Alfred)
"It's normal for them to do at least that much, I can't let my warriors be weak, don't I?" (Oz)
"You may not leave this place, we, the four blades of Grogan will stop you," (One of the sword saints)
One of the goblins retreated and kneel in front of Oz, saying: "Your highness, four of them are strong, they're the one who managed to capture and imprison us, please be careful,"
"Hm...." Oz muttered with an amused expression, but his eyes don't act the same as his face, his eyes is giving a very dangerous vibe right now.
Oz slowly walked forward with his staff.
"Transform," Said Oz, and a dense dark and ice mana element gathered making a small black and white tornado at Oz's hand. When the small tornado disappeared, a heavy black long sword with beautiful ice runes design imprinted at its body replaced the staff.
"So basically..." (Oz)
!!!!!???
A terrifying murderous intent that stuns all of the people presents suddenly appeared from Oz.
"W-what a terrifying amount of murderous intent..." (Edreale)
"You're the one who attacked my people huh? You did well, taking care of my people, I wonder how should I pay you back?" (Oz)
Oz's words are filled with a dense murderous aura that makes all of the sword saints legs shivered and felt weak. An endless stream of sweat keeps on flowing from all of the guards, including the sword saints.
"Shadow bind," Oz chanted, and the sword saints' shadows suddenly formed a bind and restrict them from moving. Even though they tried to break free using their sword saint rank power, they're still powerless.
Slash!
With one sound of slash, four heads flew to the sky.
*Sound of bodies falling to the ground*
Albus, Edreale, and Sen cautiously observe Oz's action.
"Do you found their leader, Geeta?" Asked Oz.
"Nope, they've fled," Answered her.
Oz looked at the goblins, elves, and the centaurs that just got freed, it seems that they managed to capture some of the guards.
Oz and co interrogate them and found out that this is not the first time they're doing this, they are a huge slave dealing organization, and there are still a lot of branches of them on the whole continent. But one of their bases is at the capital, and they said that there are a dozen times more prisoners at the capital than here.
"Damn, so we're facing a pretty huge organization here? What a bad luck we had here," Oz complained
*Sound of stomach growls*
"Ugh, I think that I got hungry because of the fighting, let's find a place to eat, we continue our conversation there," Suggested Oz to his people.
"I'm starving too," (Geeta)
"Let's eat then, I'm hungry too," (Azaline)
********************************
"Wait, what the hell are the three of you doing?" Asked Oz with an annoyed face.
"What a mean words you said there, didn't we just fought together just now?" Said Alfred with his lousy manner.
"Let's not beat around the bush, quickly spit out your business," Said Oz.
"Actually... The one we have business with is the gentleman that had just got freed from those slave-dealers," Alfred said as his eyes got sharper.
"Then spit it out, quickly before the meal came," Said Oz indifferently.
"Well then, Edreale, you tell stories better than me, tell them," Alfred instructs Edreale.
Edreale nods and told her story.
"Since there are people who still didn't know who I am, let me introduce myself properly, my name is Edreale, me, Sen, and Alfred big bro are all 14 years old," (Edreale)
"We called ourselves siblings, but actually, we're not real siblings," (Edreale)
"You mean?" (Geeta)
"We lived at the same orphanage, as the three of us are orphans, you could say that we're siblings. The orphanage we lived, is an orphanage made by a duke, that have a dream of having a good relationship with the habitant of the forest, the magic beasts, or as what my mercenary guild called them, the demi-humans," (Edreale)
"Because of that dream of his, he made an orphanage that gladly accepts a half-elf kids like me. Both Sen and Alfred are also a half-elf, but their appearance is not different from the usual humans, different with me who have a pointed-ears," (Edreale)
"The orphanage is peaceful and fun, the staff and the duke treat us kindly, everyone at the orphanage is kind. But one day..." Edreale's face suddenly got darker.
"The orphanage got burned, the duke, the staff, and the rest of the kids got killed. I, Alfred, and Sen are running errands ordered by the orphan, but when we saw the burning orphanage, the duke shouted at us, ordering us to run," Her voice started to shivers.
"But before we leave, we saw a person, a middle-aged man with brown hair, dressed as the royal knight, said 'You're punished for treating and protecting the child of demons at this place, the king had ordered us to kill you'," (Edreale)
"The duke got executed, and we run with our all from the place, and got recruited by the Red Fall mercenary guild master, Red Terrance, and that's the end of the story," Edreale finished her story and her expression reverted to her usual expressionless face.
"So? Your point is?" Asked Oz.
"We're looking for that middle-aged royal knight, did anyone of you saw his appearance?" Asked Alfred with his lousy tone, but his eyes seem to be serious.
The goblins looked at Oz's direction first, and after Oz nods, one of them answered: "We do see a person with the same appearance you described, he's one of the strong people that pursue us,"
"Do you know where he goes?" Asked Sen.
"I heard that he was going to the capital," (One of the goblins)
"Is that so..." Sen muttered as his eyes started to be clouded.
"More importantly, could you guys explain to me how could you got captured by those bastards, judging from your skills, you should still able to run, right?" Asked Oz.
"Forgive us for our weakness, your majesty. It might be heard as an excuse, but other than those four sword saints that could be considered as the duke rank, there are two king ranks on their army, we're too powerless when we faced them, so we sent five of us to notify the lord Aegir," (One of the centaurs)
"But we're too late, they capture 50 of us, we're on our expedition to the north side of the kingdom, we've disappointed you, my lord," said the centaur, all of the other captured people also bows to Oz, as if asking forgiveness.
"It's fine, It's my fault too, It seems my identity as a human makes my neglect the thoughts about humans rotten nature, It's my mistake, forgive me too," Oz said with a gentle tone.
"Y-you don't need to apologize, your majesty, it's our weakness that had given you, our savior, a lot of trouble," (One of the elves)
"W-wait, what is this 'your majesty' thing this guy keeps on saying? You, are you a prince or a king from a kingdom? But how could a human have centaurs, elves, and even goblins under you? moreover, are these guys really goblins? I don't remember any goblin that this similar to humans you know?" Asked Alfred with a confused face.
"Hm? Well, sort of that, to add on that, my kingdom only human is myself, you know?" Said Oz with a shrug.
"W-what!?"
