Alma's Journey Looking for a Mother

PITAK 8: Attacking the Cave of Snakes

*Last Episode (PITAK)* 

The fall of Sembul Lawang back to the edge of the river made him immediately surrounded by dozens of men dressed in brown swords.

While on a rock on a cliff, stands the figure of Garap Jaran who holds the title of Horse Golok.

Sembul Lawang position immediately cornered.

“Strike!” yells Wish Jaran to his sword force.

Set set set!

Sembul Lawang actually first glide six flying knives that can not be avoided or fended off by the braggars. While six people were immediately uprooted by knife attacks, others simultaneously attacked Sembul Lawang.

The young man who had pulled out his two knives as a weapon, tried to fight back and defend. However, ten swords against two knives was definitely not a balanced contest.

In a short time Sembul Lawang was desperate.

The truck!

With the cross of his two small knives, Sembul Lawang fended off two sword slashes that were slashed from above targeting the head.

The set! The set!

“Aaak!” the scream of Sembul Lawang because at the same time, two swords slashed at his back from the other assailants.

While enduring the pain that so painful on his back, Sembul Lawang did a low round with both hands stretched.

Cras! Cras!

“Akk! Akk!” the screams of two men were sworded as their stomachs were slashed by the tip of the knife on both hands of Sembul Lawang.

Seet!

While flashing out of the cage, Sembul Lawang shot his remaining five flying knives. The five flying blades were covered in bright blue light and the lesion was curved, not a straight track.

Trang!

However, suddenly the figure of Garap Jaran flashed rapidly. He used his black machete to slash at the knives that were streaking through the air. In that slash, only two knives were made to fall in two broken conditions.

Tseb tseb tseb!

“Akk! Akk! Akk!” the screams of the three men in the sword as from behind them were stabbed by three blue shining knives.

Finally, inevitably, Sembul Lawang fought without weapons against the gang. He relied on invulnerability in both hands as a countermeasure weapon.

With both of his blue smoldering hands, Sembul Lawang repelled every slash and stab of the sword that attacked him.

On the other hand, Garap Jaran pulled out two knives that killed his men.

Set sets!

Two blood-soaked knives then he slashed.

Bes bes! Tseb!

“Aaak!” the scream of a sword-wielding man whose back was pierced by two flying knives at once.

“Akk!” sembul Lawang screams as his two flying knives stuck into his chest deeply.

So high was the energy in the two flying knives, that they both penetrated the first victim and then continued into the chest of Sembul Lawang.

Let Jaran subvert one of his men to easily kill Sembul Lawang.

After Sembul Lawang fell in the sand of the river, three swords immediately came following to his stomach and chest.

Meanwhile, in another place, Toronggo, who is Sembul Lawang's teammate, has arrived at the place where Rhino Ireng and his troops are waiting.

“Report, Commander! In the Cave of Snakes there is the Horse Golok and the sword troops!” toronggo.

“How many are they?” ask Rhino Ireng.

“What I saw was probably twenty people in the sword. I do not know whether in the Cave of Snakes there are still many swordsmen or not,” Toronggo replied.

“Bakiwang, split two teams. One hundred troops you led to attack directly into the Cave of Snakes. My men will stand guard in the back. Sign up if the enemy forces are stronger!” rhino Ireng Order.

“Good, Commander!” bakiwang said, the master of the Rhino Ireng faith.

“Then where is Sembul Lawang?” ask Rhino Ireng to Toronggo.

“He's stuck. It may be dead,” replied Toronggo.

“Hia hia hi!”

Six warriors led by Bakiwang could be heard pounding his horse. Meanwhile, a hundred duchy warriors ran behind him.

Long story short, the troops arrived on a rock cliff. There, the six horses could not possibly descend into the river. From up there they could see a number of bodies of men in brown uniforms lying untidy.

There is one corpse that they know, namely the corpse of Sembul Lawang which was drenched in blood on his chest and stomach. No one seems alive. The Horseman who had been in that place, was also invisible.

“They must be hiding inside the mine,” said Bakiwang to the swordsman next door, Songgor Getok.

Songgor Getok was a small man armed with a catapult tucked into his stomach. The catapult bullets were stored in a specially designed bamboo tube.

“Arrow squad, prepare fire arrow!” bakiwang Order.

“Good,” replied the swordsman named Dunggatala, the swordsman who bears a bow and arrow. He immediately prepared an army of arrows.

“Taring Lawak, lead thirty soldiers directly attack into the mine, we center the fight inside!” bakiwang orders curly-haired and sword-armed warriors and shields mounted on the back, such as the Ninja Turtle.

“Good,” Reply Taring Lawak.

“Barangsang and you, Jenala, follow up the first attack with thirty spearmen!” bakiwang's orders.

“Good!” answer the Stuff and the Mesh at the same time. They were two men in their forties who were sturdy and armed with spears.

“Arrow entry is ready!” report Dunggatala to Bakiwang.

Bakiwang replied with a hand gesture code. He flashed first down to the edge of the river in front of the mouth of the cave. Songgor Getok quickly followed, then Dunggatala followed by an army of arrows down the cliff rocks. Then followed the warriors and the troops they led in the tactical order.

All six horses were left on top.

A total of fifteen arrow soldiers immediately lined up in front of the wide mouth of the cave, which was entered by the flow of water. The conditions in the dark cave.

The two people who lit the fire immediately burned the greasy cloth wrapped around the tip of the arrow. While dozens of other soldiers piled up on the side that was not straight with the mouth of the cave.

“Arrow!” dunggatala's order after the arrows had all been fiery and had already been pulled tight.

Set set set …!

The five arrow soldiers released their flaming arrows into the cave.

“Forward!” yelling Taring Lawak to his thirty subordinate soldiers. He ran forward first with a sword in his right hand and a large shield in his left hand.

The masked sword force immediately ran after him.

A total of fifteen arrows shot deep into the cave, giving a glimpse inside the cave which was a gold mining site.

It turned out that there was no presence of the group of enemies dressed in chocolate.

As the fire arrows entered, Taring Lawak and his troops ran through the riverbank.

The arrows fell in the river water and its surroundings, making the conditions in the cave back dark. However, Taring Lawak and his troops could still see the atmosphere in the cave, because it had adapted in the not so pitch black.

Taring Lawak ordered half his troops to cross the river whose deepest point was chest-high.

Cprak! Tseb!

“Akk! Akk!”

When some of the troops of Taring Lawak descended into the water to cross, suddenly from the water with many swordsmen who immediately ambushed some of the troops of Taring Lawak.

Two soldiers were stabbed to death by swords by men dressed in chocolate.

As it turned out, the people who emerged from the depths of the river water numbered over twenty people.

“Seraaang!” yelled Taring Lawak while jumping into the water field.

“Barangsang, Jenala, attack directly into the mine!” the Bakiwang command can read the battle map in the middle of the river.

“Forward!” exclaim Barangsang and Jenala simultaneously to three spearheaded and masked soldiers. (BH)
