Just then, me and my army of hundreds of swordsmen arrived at the outskirts of the wolf swamp.
We met with Froza and David, who had some bruises on them .temporarily, seeing them under command, they seemed to have suffered some casualties.
"Oh! Commandant! We've caught this guy who seems to be suspiciously trying to run out of the swamp." Froza reported, as soon as he saw me, while David also moved forward to greet me, Rogar fainted on the ground.
"Hmm, it looks like you've come to the victim, want to report?" I asked, as Froza and David made a little face of embarrassment.
"I lost 18 soldiers and 34 were seriously injured, I'm very sorry for my incompetence." Froza first reported, as he turned to look at a camp with medical marks on it.
"I lost 9 soldiers and 49 were seriously injured, I'm very sorry for my incompetence" Drake said, slightly pleased the death toll was less than Froza's.
"Hmm, it's okay, I hope next time the victim is less" I said, while I turned towards the fainted Rogar.
"Take him to the Investigation Division and try to get him to reveal everything he knows." I said, while Froza and David nodded in receipt.
"All right!! then, let's all go back to Stone City now!"
"Yes sir!"

[Stone City]
"Well!" Rezoro eon Kun, Commander of the 2nd Battalion under my Legion, shouted while attacking me with his wooden sword.
'‹Share: Attack Prediction' I opened my two sharingan tomoe, while a fist came smashing down from behind me.
"!" roaring Raiger, the 1st Battalion Commander, while I quickly twisted my body in the middle of the pincer attack, lifting my legs, giving a high kick towards Rezoro's wrist, making him drop his sword and balance, he said, while a direct blow to Raiger's Face, while dodging his punch quickly.
*bom!* *bom!*
"Khug!"
"Aarg!" both of them fell to the ground, when the same other attack went straight to me.
"Yeah! You lost! Shukuchi: Light Slash Four Times Fold›" Aho, the 6th Battalion Commander, used Shukuchi› martial arts movement, as he instantly closed our distance, Shukuchi<TAG1>, while he was using his sword martial arts Four Flashes of Light to give me four of his sword attacks in a single blow.
"Did? Nice try..but it's not enough ..‹Shukuchi Kai›" I grinned, when he was about to hit me, my figure blurred out of Aho's sight, while the next second, I arrived behind him, while I grabbed him with my hands from behind.
"Kuhh!" Aho snorted, while he was only 10 cm away or closer to defeat me, I used an improved version of Shukuchi Kai, while Shukuchi› could only be used for straight runs, instead, Shukuchi Kai› can be used to run in any direction.
"Huff! Is the Commander really 10 years old? and not a reincarnated hero?" rezoro lamented, lying on the ground, while trying to catch his breath.
"God! If he is not this strong, will he still be able to become our commander" Raiger said grinfully, admitting his total defeat, while he and Rezoro laughed, watching each other in a completely defeated state.
"The cheh! I will soon surpass him! I can only feel it." Aho snorted, as he stood up, walking away from the carriage room, while I could only smile hearing him.
'Exceed me? I'll wait to see it.'
*bom!
"Commander! Commandant! Prisoner Rogra was willing to tell us about the reason the Kingdom sent troops here!" suddenly Froza came barging into the training room.
"Hmm~, lead me there!" I said, when I was half-naked, when I could see Froza flinched a little.
"Ca-Commander! Put your clothes on first!" he said, as I made a conscious face 'O'.
"Of course .. lead the way." I said, as I covered my toned and large body, in my training gown.
Meanwhile, Rogra was just below the bulb, tied to a wooden chair.
Her clothes were badly torn, her blood was drying on her own skin, her right arm, both legs, and her chest skin were peeled off, while the scarring of the hot oil that was pouring out on her chipped skin was there, gives a disgusting impression.
"t..**..please le.let me go."
"I. I.want to**.life." This is the only word, Rogra muttered, as his whole body trembled in fear, when he heard the door open.
"to..Please let me go!! I'll tell! I'll tell! I'll tell you everything! please let me go!" he begged, as he struggled in his seat.
"You will live, if you tell the truth with lies, we have a lie detector to let you know." I said to him, as he nodded his head, his dry lips trembled.
"So, tell me the truth .. What is the reason you came here, what is the goal you want to achieve here."
"Yes, We were ordered by His Majesty the King, to search for treasure."
"Reprecreary?" I was followed by Froza and friends, all crying out at the same time.
"Yes.yes! We were ordered by the King to search for treasure in the swamp!"
"Then where is the map or any evidence that can justify this statement, that you are really looking for treasure." I said, because I found no lies in his sentence, and it did not come from a lie detector or anything else, but my personal experience ... in my 20 years of experience being a murderer, torturing, or torturing others.honestly, it has made me catch a glimpse of whether they are lying or not.
"Now after the next two days, a commander will come to the swamp with the elite knights of the Kingdom! He.he will also bring a map with him! Believe that! The map will have the location of the treasure" Rogra said.
"Well then, even if there really is a treasure, how do you know it?"
"This is the Empire's territory, An information that even the Empire doesn't have .. how did your Kingdom get it?" I said, in a serious tone, right now there are only two things I can guess.
First, He lied, but almost impossible, the lie-detecting ball Froza brought did not shine, meaning he did not lie.
Second, being an Empire has traitors! and there was a high chance that the traitor was Margrave Steelshield, who was the ruler of this country, Stone City was also one of the many cities under his jurisdiction, and if he really became a traitor, then, The empire will definitely be a great mess.
Margrave, not only became one of the members of the Court Council, a group of nobles in charge of managing the Baharuth Empire.
He was also one of the Five Great Nobles, he had great power in the Empire.
"I don't know.. I don't know! Please believe me, I know nothing but this, We are just following the King's orders" Rogra said trembling in fear of being tortured again.
"Hey, there's no need to be afraid..I promise you won't get hurt again, so just tell me how you communicate with Kingdom, and you'll be released." I said warmly, show a warm and comfortable side to the traumatized person, they will take you there.
"Yes.. Yes, we did not communicate, when the commander arrived at the border, he would send a knight to inspect the camp, and he would speak in code, he said, we just need to reply to the codes there and they'll be cleared whether it's safe to cross the border or not."
"So, what's the code? Can you please tell us?" I asked as gently as possible.
"Thh.this, This ... The question is" Bandit! Go to hell!" and the answer is "The bandits will go to hell, if you will."."
"Oh, then thank you, now you will be released as I promised." I said, because I could see a big smile on his face, a relieved face, a happy face.
"You will be delivered from this damned world." I said, just as his face turned confused, I cut off his head from his neck.
*Gedebuck!
His head fell to the ground, while Froza was a little surprised at the way I killed him without emotion.
"Let's go, Froza put some soldiers in that camp, under the disguise of bandits, and tell them the code."
"Yes.. Yes, Sir."
"And make sure they report me, when the code messenger has left after confirming the code." I said, while using my fingers to clean up a little blood on my face.
