The Second Life Of The Mercenary
Chapter 75 Gives him justice.

Albert set out with Charlize and the imperial knight unit 3 to the southern guard tower site, upon their arrival there the situation of the tower was safe, even the guard knights there seemed to be used to monitoring around the tower with binoculars.

"What'sthis? you guys just stay here?" albert asked the guard knights.

"Yesterday we made a request to the adventurer guild because many knights were injured and then exposed to poison from the monster, then there was a mercenary knight who accepted the request. They have gone to the extermination and we are asked to remain here" replied the chivalric chief in the guard tower.

"What's? you hire mercenary knights and you stay here. Those mercenary knights were unfaithful, they could betray anyone just because of money. You have humiliated the name of the imperial knight, are you afraid of death? if you're afraid of death you should not be a knight in the first place" Albert said with anger that he could not stand it anymore.

"From being silent here, it's better that we go after those mercenary knights to make sure of it ourselves. Come on!" bring Charlize. 

Albert agreed to Charlize's invitation and rushed into the forest, along the way they found a lot of monster carcasses.

"The power of time, the freezing of time." The golden light from Isabella's body made the monsters freeze in their place, as the monster froze Bara swung his sword to behead the monster. Not to be outdone Fil also used his Element power to destroy the bodies of those monsters.

Their annihilation went smoothly, Bara and Phil were also safe from poison because the shield had been equipped with the anti-poison power of Luca.

"Done!" Bara thrust his sword into the ground when the monsters had succeeded in disappearing.

"This has exceeded my limits. After this I must have leveled up" Fil said lying on the ground with hunting breath.

"Isabella not back yet? he's been gone for 30 minutes even 10 minutes later than he promised. Do you know where he's going?" ask Bara.

"If I knew, I wouldn't have the strength to catch up with him. He will definitely return by himself" replied Fil

Moments later Albert and Charlize's men arrive at the site where Bara and Fil last attacked, seeing the monster carcasses along the way leading Albert to believe that he had misjudged the mercenary knight.

"Are you guys okay?" albert approached Fil and Bara.

"Do we look like we're okay?" Fil and Bara asked in unison.

"Are you not Achlys? why just the two? where are the others?" ask Charlize. He knows Isabella's team.

"Oh duke." Bara smiled kindly at Charlize, "Over time we don't meet, our other members have their own mission so we're alone. Actually the three were just that Allred had suddenly gone out of nowhere in the last 30 minutes."

"You know each other?" tanya Albert looked at Charlize and Bara alternately.

"Yes. Those are the Achlys Team I told you about, if I knew from the beginning that the mercenary knights who received the mission were them then I wouldn't be worried. Even if they were only five. But their strength made the border war finish faster, they earned the nickname of a battlefield demon," Charlize replied.

"You are not present at the celebration of victory. Your gifts are donated to beggars according to the instructions of the commander of the rabbit army, if you have free time to stop by the kingdom as my guest of honor" Albert added.

Not long after Isabella brought an old man back with her, she threw him to the ground right near Phil who was lying down.

"He was the one who sprinkled the poison around the southern forest, the poison was inhaled by the animals making them monsters. The man controlled the monster to attack to the south. But some of the animals went the other way, it took a long time to get everything done" Isabella said.

"Allred, your hands are blackening." Fil pointed to Isabella's left hand.

"It's okay, I'm immune to poison. This poison will only make me tingle until tomorrow morning, this poison will not hit you as long as you do not touch me or the man. The man also couldn't move because I tied him up in a time chain" Isabella said, covering her hands with gloves.

"Punish me! I just did what the woman told me. I owe it to him to stay alive, please spare my life," the old man cried in fear.

"Then tell me who's the woman you mean? where does he live? and what's the reason for doing all this?" albert asked to get as much information as possible.

"I don't know who he is. He's a nobleman who always wears a hood, and his subordinates aren't just me. I also don't know where the woman lives because she can come to see us anytime and anywhere, really I'm not lying" the man replied.

"The woman is no ordinary person. He's instilling a parasitic toxin on this man's body." Isabella showed him the parasite she had taken out of the man's body, "The woman used this to control all her subordinates, and if any of his subordinates tried to betray him this parasite would kill that person by damaging their internal organs."

"Then how did you get him out?" albert asked a little.

"When this man did what the woman told him to keep the parasite in the part of the body where it was implanted, he just needed to make a wound where it was and pull it out. Only then can we get the information from this man properly," Charlize replied. Such a poison had also appeared in Edmund's body, and Charlize herself had it removed.

"really. Each subordinate has the parasite in different parts of the body, there is even a 10-year-old child among us" said the old man.

"Can I ask you a favor, please take him to the palace prison because we can't get in touch with him so it's hard to take him away" Albert asked Isabella.

"of course. But this man has also been exposed to poison so sooner or later he will also be gone, has the research center found an antidote?" ask Isabella.

"The poison has spread almost all over him, I'm afraid we can't do anything about it" Albert replied.

"I don't want to die, please help me. I promise I'll give you as much information as possible" the man asked.

"A criminal like you won't be forgiven, if you don't die from this poison then you'll be gone for your crimes. I'm …."

"You're the crown prince, aren't you? is this how you treat your people? he committed a crime not because he wanted to, all that he did to survive. He had his own family that made him inevitably have to fight to support them. If you had the position, would you just shut up to see your family gone hungry or sick? it's easy for you to say he's a criminal and will be gone for his crimes, because you live comfortably without feeling a lack of money or food. Instead of punishing her you should have given her justice" Isabella interrupted Allred's speech.

Isabella carried the old man on her shoulder, then hurried away leaving the forest with the others. Meanwhile Allred could not focus during the trip because he kept thinking about Isabella's words.
