5 chapter 4

*change back to knight army pov*

The scout can be seen screaming "bandits incoming, get ready." The Knights can be seen rushing to their stations like a few went to a tower while other got their swords and shield and went to the front gates. The Archer rained arrows on the enemies killing a hundred while most bandits escaped after this. Some bandits with their leaders attacked and eventually died. One of the bandit leader can be seen taken back to the base. The captain knight and torturer can be seen chatting or threatening the bandit leader but when he denies to tell their base's location, Claude comes in.

Claude: stop! don't torture the poor man. *Turns to the bandit leader* hey, there you ok? I know you were probably forced by the leader, right?

Bandit leader: *violently nods* Yes, I was forced since a young age. I lived with my family when the leader took me and told me to work. If not he would kill my parents.....(bs, alot of bs)

Claude: *listens to him with serious eyes* but that doesn't give you the right to hurt the innocent. Look how about this, I give you a bag of gold coin if you tell me your bases location. *Sees him about to deny it* I will even clear all of your charges. Tell me the base's location.

Torturer: but sir that's too much, give him to me and I will make him spill his guts. *looks at the bandit angrily*

Knight Captain: *stops the torturer and looks at the prince then thinks* 'let's see what your planning Prince Claude, I think he might be onto something.'

Bandit leader: *shakes his head* 'even if I get the gold, what are the chances of me getting out alive? Plus, I don't even know who this kid is' I don't know the location, they never told me about it. They would just meet up at schedule meetings.

Knight Captain: Prince Claude, I don't think he is willing to give up the information. Please let me handle this.

Bandit: *eyes shine bright with hope* 'wait, he's the prince. I have a chance if it's him. I doubt the prince knows much about how the real world works. I have a chance to escape.'

Torturer: 'Wait, he's the prince. Why is he here, I have heard he is the youngest swordsman in the history of Albion and has yet to lose. But is he naive enough to actually let the bandit go? Well let see what happens, not like I have much choice'

Claude: *sighs* well, I guess I have no choice now. Mr.torturer please get ready.

Bandit: *snaps out of thought* Your highness, I am willing. I will tell you the location.

Claude: hmm, what if the information you gave me is wrong. You take me to the base. *smile*

Bandit: yes, your highness. *Smile*

Soon Claude can be seen preparing with 20 knights and the captain. They knights we're caring torches and bow, sword and nets. The captain takes the bandit on his horse and soon they arrive and can hear noises alot of noise. The bandits are having fun and drinking celebrating the harvest. The knights and prince quietly get off tying their horses to trees or bushes. The bandit can be seen taken out. Claude then decides to speak.

Claude: I thank you, mr.bandit for your cooperation and will now give you, my part of the end. *Takes a bag of gold coin and gives it to the bandit and then cuts the bandit's head off* And now your free of charge.

All the knight look at Claude as the bandit's head comes off. They look at Claude as if saying 'what the fuc'

Claude: what I was just fufilling my end of the deal, no charges on a dead man and I didn't say I could take the coin back after giving it to him. *Takes the gold coins and adds it to his bag then reaches again and gives all the knights 1 gold*

Claude: Ok so here's the plan. Sneak in, Attack the any wake bandits stealthy and then return to the center. If you fail to take them out silently, everyone needs to return to the horses and flee.

All the knights: *nod*

One of the knight: what if we successfully take the enemies out silently.

Claude: *looks at the knight* You return to the center, no going off into your own plan. More importantly, You can get others killed.

All the knights had one thing in common right now 'is he really a 9 year old kid

While some were thinking 'well he is the youngest swordsman as well. Maybe, he's just the one in a thousand year genius'

Most were thinking 'maybe it's because of the books, I have heard of the prince's deligience in his studies as well as training from the servants.

Soon they sneaked around the bandits hide out and looking for any awake person and knocked them out if found. They then proceeded to do this until all of the place was silent except the center so they all returned to the center. Soon you can see many knights and Claude talking.

Claude: so here's the plan, 7 per team with a total of 4 teams your in charge of killing the sleeping bandits. The rest are going to help me get that center tent down and kill any bandit who are going out, when all is ready the tent. Then one of us need to get a torch, there party is going to be fire.

The reason for most of the knights staying near the tent was because it was the place with the most people and dangerous as bandits constantly got out of the tent. After a while when a loud noise can be heard all the knights pull the big tent down covering the bandits. They proceeded to burn it down killing hundred of bandits and a few getting out to end up headless due to Claude. They soon retreat to find other knights out side the bandits place and soon see a wounded knight. He was injured by a bandit while his patners were killed, Claude disliked this as he thought he had to retreat.But this soon proved to be unnecessary as most of the bandit were dead when the tents fire spread while the rest were just gather in one place perfect for the net. Claude and the Knights perfectly threw many nets on the bandits making them stuck while most got out it was enough chaos for Claude and the knights to finish off the bandits.

Soon the knights and Claude return to their base and bring the knights there telling them their success. The knight then we're ordered to take all fo the gold and other resources to the cart which they received from the king. Many knight also came to help and escort the goods and prince, when they hear dog the deed the knights saw the prince in new light of respect and pride. The reason for the king himself not coming was because he was required in the palace forced to stay by the advisor. The reason being that it was not necessary for himself to go to bring back the prince and plus, he had his schedule with meetings with important merchants.

Back to the camps

Many of the knights can be seen working on taking all of the money back with supervisors. While Claude was looking around and soon found a ground place. In the place, Claude found many slaves, who were held captive for sale, and told them his identity. Many were in awe for a while and some asked him what he wanted to do with them.

Claude: well, I don't really have anything I can do, I can only provided you all with 2 slivers and send you off or a palace job i you have no bad background, meaning you were not a murderer previously. Oh yeah, I can also give you certain jobs to meet your ability, meaning if you were a blacksmith previously you can get money from the palace and start a business to pay back the palace but it still require the clean background and proof of ability by professionals. So please go to the

Cluade went deeper found sex slaves and provided them with the choices offered before to the captive slaves then told them to go up. Claude also found sex slaves, many of whom just wanted to just die so Claude complied, feeling sad. He hardened his heart an went deeper to found a beast girl, beaten and thrashed. He saw that she still had the will to live so he freeded her to which the beast girl attacked him but to her dismay, Claude just used his magic to make her float.

Claude: Calm down, no one's going to hurt you.

Beast girl: *sees claude then gets furious* Who are you?! What are you going to do to me?!

Claude: *stoic face* relax, I am the only prince of the Gawant and I am here to well, free you. I just stumbled across this place after subjucating the bandits.

Beast girl: *looks at him, finds him handsome and turns to the side* how am I supposed to trust you, if your gawant's prince aren't you allies with Camelot and their king hates all magical creatures. *looks at Claude* Wait how can you do magic if your are the prince?

Claude: Ok, let's hold off the magic question and for your first question. Well, you don't really have much choice but to trust me so what's your name?

Beast girl: My name is Lulu. *Looks at Claude checking for anything strange*

Claude: You know you should trust your savior more. Anyways, Do you have any family, or any place you can go to?

Lulu: My family was killed by the bandits and was held captive to give to the king of Camelot. *Tears up* sniff..sniff So, no I don't have any place, I can return to.

Claude: Well, I am very sorry to hear that *holds her and pats her head* so do you want go with me? I can help you conceal your beastman part using magic but you would need to stay near 10 meters at all times until I make you a concealing amulet.

Lulu: *nods after receiving the warmth that she hadn't felt for a long time* yes, sniff I will go with you.

Claude: *smiles* let's go. But you would probably have to be my aide for the time and help in the palace.

Lulu: *looks at Claude to see any hidden desires and sees none and nods* okay.
