The Birth of a True Hero
Episode 39 The rescue mission

When he was about to leave, the emperor gave me 6 bracelets.

"What's this bracelet?"

"This bracelet is a new magic tool - recently successfully developed by researchers in the magic tower"

"Then what's the point"

With a happy face and with great pride the emperor told the function of the bracelet.

"This bracelet can make users communicate remotely. If you think of the face of the person who also has the bracelet and adds mana to it then you can communicate with the person"

Hearing that certainly made me very happy because I was able to find out the information from the Shadow squad faster and was able to command them from a distance.

Before I gave the bracelet I asked them their names.

"Name?" ask them confused.

"Yes, I asked your names"

"Master, we are shadow warriors. The identity and all the memories of that we've been throwing away. We were only given a number to be our identity" said one of them.

Hearing that, I became somewhat saddened and remembered the rumors of some orphans being made into special forces and given extremely cruel training.

Then I turned to the emperor and asked with an angry expression.

"Who made this army, is that you emperor?"

Then the emperor was a bit panicked to see my already emotional face.

"No, hero. They were formed by the tower witches and assigned to my shadow army after compensating the tower witches equally"

"Alright I trust you, for this matter I will delay first and focus on the matter of the missing elves"

Hearing that the emperor became relieved. Then after giving 5 bracelets to the record, we split up to do a search.

Me and the silver dragon squad members teleported in a city near the border of the elves and humans territory. Because there is a place that became the largest slave market in the empire.

Seeing the elves and the warbeasts in chains in confinement made my fury peak. My mana suddenly overflowed and I felt the mark on my right hand blacken and my right hand was like electrocuted. I think the Taurus spear and the Cronicel arrow that became the protector of the races responded when I saw them in the enslavement.

Then I approached the slave trader.

"Excuse me sir, I'd like to ask you a question"

Then the merchant turned his head and when he saw our clothes that looked omnipresent. He thinks we are buyers.

"Ahh, young master, welcome to my trading place. Do you need some slaves, I have some that match the taste of the young master"

Hearing that merchant who mentioned the elves and warbeasts as if - by them was merchandise made my emotions peak.

"I want you to free them all now"

Hearing that, the slave merchant became confused.

"Ahhh, I don't understand what the young master means. Does the young master want to buy everything"

"No, I want you to let them go and I'll get them back where they came from"

Hearing that, the merchant became emotional and angry - angry at me.

"What do you mean by stupid words. Whether you're royalty or not, you have no right to give us such ridiculous orders"

The cry of the man drew the attention of those who were there and swarmed us.

Then I ordered Karin to attack the man.

"Sister please do"

Karin instantly understood and cast fire magic onto the person. Instantly his body burned and he ran towards the water bath and threw himself there.

"What are you guys doing. This is a oppression of the common people"

"This is a crime"

Shouted the people who witnessed the kejadin. With an annoyed face I stared towards them.

"I am Rui, the captain of the Silver Dragon squad. We are a team of exterminators formed through selection in the eastern magic academy. I have authority beyond the royal knight wizard. If you object to my actions, go ahead"

After hearing that the people were silent, they then left from there leaving the merchant who was busy cooling his body.

I approached the merchant and treated his burns.

"Purify"

Instantly the wound healed and I continued my previous command.

"Free them now"

Then the man knelt down and begged me for mercy.

"Please forgive me, have mercy on me. I am just a little person who is foraging from the proceeds of selling these slaves sir" the merchant said in tears.

"You're living your family with the money you make selling other people's freedom"

"I'm a master, but this is my job. If I set them free, then I won't have anything else sir, please"

Hearing that made me a little concerned. Then I told the man to go to the palace and wait for my next order.

"Go to the imperial palace. Tell the soldiers that I'm Rui, order you to wait for me there"

Hearing that, the merchant looked doubtful but still went to obey my orders.

Then I opened all the cells and freed all the slaves there.

"Who are you sir, have I been bought? can I eat now?" asked an elf who looked thin and lethargic.

Hearing that made me very sad. Looking at their appearance made me realize that the suffering I was going through was no worse than theirs.

"I am not your master and I did not buy you, but I will set you free and will return you to your homeland"

Hearing that, they seemed happy accompanied by happy cries.

"That's right, sir, if we can go home" they asked with happy cries.

"Yes, I swear"

They cried even more when they heard that they were going to be free and go home. It made my brother and the others happy.

Then I contacted the shadow groups and assigned them to escort the elves and war beasts to the imperial palace to wait for my next instruction.

But before I left, I asked if there were any new elves that had just been made into slaves.

Then some of them say that they are children - children who recently kidnapped from the elf country. Hearing that I asked where the location of the elf princess was.

After knowing the location, I and the silver dragon squad rushed straight to the cave where the kidnappers were based.

Arriving there, several people were seen standing guard at the cave door. Then I ordered Ririna and Karin to find another way out so the kidnappers wouldn't run away.

"Sister, Ririna. I want you to find another way out of this cave so they can't escape"

But Ririna was confused to hear my instructions.

"Are there any humans who can escape from you Rui?"

Hearing that Karin smiled and pulled Ririna's hand.

"Let's just do what our chief says" said Karin, taking Ririna away.

Then I turned to look at the kidnappers and said to Risiya.

"Risiya, maybe this will be a terrible massacre. If you can't, you can wait here for me"

But Risiya swiftly said.

"What did you say senpai. Wherever you go and whatever Senpai does. I'll always follow you"
