After a few minutes of questions, and having a few fingers cut from the enemy knights, Fred has got some great answers at a few questions, but he did not ask them the most important ones, just "How are your life here?", "It is the system fair?", "Are you the strongest ones in this Empire?" this kind of questions. But now, Fred is looking at one knight who is having the entire left hand without a finger.
"You. You can tell me the name of your Emperor?" says while he is treating the knight he will cut the other hand.
"I-It is Osman Riduklu." says the knights terrified by this interrogator.
"Osman... Sounds a nice name to me, but I am not Turkish so it is probably a common name, right?"
"Ve-Very common, sir." says the same knight.
"Now tell me. Who is this Emperor? Does he is good at something besides leading a corrupt system?"
"I-I don't know."
But Fred, acted quickly and he cut the sixth finger of that guy, and he is started to scream but as louder as when his first one got cut.
"Stop it!" screams the second enemy knight who got one finger cut to Fred. "Stop it or we will slay you!"
"Slay me? With who?"
"The whole Empire Army, you peasant."
"The whole Empire is shit compared to the warriors we have." says while he is walking to that soldier. "And if you think, that is of us are strong, then you haven't seen our Three Main Defenders. Three powerful warriors who do not even use magic, only blades and their bare hands, and I saw one of those warriors and I dare to confront him... And I lose to him."
Then, Fred takes off his shirt and he shows all of those three knights, and also to Julius and Louis, a big hole in his chest who was sewing for a long time. Julius and Louis who were quite scared at the interrogation Fred were doing, they were even more scared about him because that big hole in the stomach it means that this guy is probably on another level or just a lucky bastard. They knew everything about those three excellent warriors Fred mentioned earlier, and they knew that these three warriors are much stronger than Fiona, even with her Vewolf powers activated.
"Now. Answer the question, who is this person you are calling empire?" asks the second knight.
"He is a mage, as a guy over there." he looks at Julius who does not look intimated. "But his magic is on another level, he can see the time. A few years go, at a big party, he showed us, the knights and the whole Empire, his magic. He told us that a knight will die because of a cold in the next three days, and it was true. One of our knights has been killed by a simple cold while we were patrolling the Docks area to seize some ships with valuable resources who were about to arrive at us... Is this enough."
"... If that king or whatever it is can view the future, then we will change the plan. But before I will let you leave, how many knights are in your army at the city?"
"Three. Three hundred strong archers, fifty-five mages and super-strong warriors who one time has destroyed an entire house with an axe."
"This is enough," says Fred walking to his comrades. "Let them go."
"You let them go back?" asks Louis.
"If what they are saying it is true, then we got everything we needed it," whispers Fred to Louis. "And it can be hard to try and capture the Emperor because of his magic. Plus, their whole Army is weak, so we will catch him without problems."
Julius and Louis decide to go with Fred ideas and also, untie the enemy knights and let them go. All three of them takes those enemy knights out of the basement and they throw them out of the land, where they are running all of those twenty kilometres to the Capital city. While they were running from the village, Fred is entering the house and he is going to the rest of them to inform about what he discovered at the interrogation.
Meanwhile, outside the house, Julius and Louis are staying on a log and they are looking at those enemy knights who are running away.
"Do you think it is a good idea to let them run?" asks Louis.
"Well, what do you want me to do?" asks Julius. "It is Fred decision, not mine."
"But the thing he did to them... It is inhuman, man," says Louis to Julius who looks at him.
"... Have you ever looked at someone crazy in the eyes and start questioning about his decision, his life, his way to see the good and the bad?... What I have seen in Fred it was something. Something that it makes me leave him alone and let him do his thing."
"Um. Well... Like you said." says Louis getting up from the log. "it is his decision. I am going to bed."
"Where?"
"Camille talked to the old lady and she said we can sleep tonight at her house and tomorrow we will leave and walk to the Capital and there... We will see what we have to do."
"Alright. I will stay here and look at them," says Julius looking at those runners who are now just some dods who can hardly be seen in the night.
Julius looks at the forest those enemies were running into and after a few moments of looking at them, he hears something which immediately stands from the log. It was a scream, something which does not resemble the one during sex. The scream can be heard again and this time, Julius decide to run into that direction, to see what is going on. The ears Julius is having is a "blessing from Gods of Hearing", a thing his father is telling almost everyone in his Kingdom when Julius can hear someone whispering, a growl coming from someone stomach or even a rock being thrown at the distance. Julius leaves the home he is staying temporarily and he is running north-west with his spellbook, levitating on his right side. While he was running, Josh saw him and he decides to take out his sword and run after him to see what is happening.
A few minutes later, Julius arrives in front of a house, where inside, the lights are on, and a female is screaming for help. Before he was about to enter the territory of someone unknown, he decides to use one of his spells, "Flying Eye", a spell who sends a magic eyeball flying into a direction after a few seconds he will come back to the person who creates that spell. The goes into the house for a few seconds, and it comes back and goes into Julius face which is not even bugging or moving a bit when the magic eye has gone through his face. Julius saw what that magic eye has seen and he decides to charge into the house with one gravitational spell ready anytime when he will encounter the danger.

A few moments later, Josh arrives at the house where Julius has been there and when he was about to enter the land, someone is flying through the window and he is landing outside, at three meters from the house, it looks like some gravitational spell has thrown that person out of the house. Then, Julius leaves the house he has entered, and he uses another gravitational spell and he makes that person fly two meters height, and then he gets thrown out of this village. Right before Josh was about to ask Julius what's the matter, a little girl leaves the house and she is hugging Julius's right leg.
"Thank you very much!" says the little girl while she is crying.
"Julius..." says Josh to his teammate, who is looking at him and then he asks him. "What happened?"
"... We have to destroy this system." says Julius who is putting his left hand on the little girl hair. "These monsters, cannot be called knights or Royal knights."
Josh decides to enter the property and he goes into the house. When he arrives at the door opened, he saw inside there, three corpses, one who resembles a female in her late 20s, and two males, which are wearing that kind of armour Turkish empire is wearing. And those two must be some target Julius has taken down with his magic. Then, Josh goes to Julius and he then asks him.
"Those knights have done it?"
"Yes." responds the little girl who is having a big scar on his young face. "T-They wanted to take my mother somewhere private, but she opposes it, and then... They have... They have *sniff, sniff*... Killed her."
"These monsters." says Josh. "I am going to report it to the others."
"Do it." says Julius who is looking at his teammate who is running to the other four knights in his squad to report them what was happening.
While Josh was gone, Julius decides to take the girl from that house and goes to the one where his teammates are located because he cannot let a young girl alone in a house filled with corpses.
