Alma's Journey Looking for a Mother

Mak Bolt 16: Fussing Alma

*Pirate Burner (Bolt Shell)*

The handsome young men who were about to lead the troops were waiting for the order of departure of the troops. They've done apples to their respective armies.

While the troops remain in line even in rest mode. The banner of the army and the war has been raised.

The sun began to enter the western sky. They certainly leave just before dusk. If I had to wait for the morning, it would be much longer. The lives of the officials and people of the Kingdom must be saved immediately. The longer the help comes, there may be one or two lives that increase in life.

The leadership structure of each army is led by the Chief of Forces.

The First Army is led by the First Chief of Forces who each have a deputy. Below them was a warrior leader who each commanded a hundred warriors. Each of the First Army consisted of three hundred foot soldiers and fifty horsemen. They carried a yellow flag bearing the head of a crowed rooster and a black war banner.

The second wave force was called the Ultimate Army which numbered seven hundred foot soldiers and fifty horsemen. The Final Team is led by the Head of the Final Team. Under him were only warrior leaders who each commanded a hundred warriors. The troops carried yellow flags bearing the symbol of roaring lions and red war banners.

“Why did Senopati not immediately tell us to go home so that we can attack the sea bastards faster? Why precisely lead a warrior who will only slow us down?” grumbled Ariang Banu while tying his sword rope on his gallant body, just like his brother, Arung Seto.

“Have you ever dealt with pirate warriors?” asked Prince Sugang Laksama, the person of the highest rank among them, because he was a Crown Prince.

The sons of Balongan looked at each other. Eventually they answered simultaneously.

“Not yet, Gusti,” answer them.

“The pirates could say that they face death every day in the middle of the vast ocean. Their character is formed by a fierce nature, namely storms, waves, salt water, and sea creatures. At once the brute of robbers on the mainland, probably will not be as cruel as pirates,” said Sugang Laksama who is also famous in the martial world by the name of Swordsman Dedemit.

“That means, most likely my family has been slaughtered by them,” said Ujang Barendo, son of jengkol. He looks worried.

“Maybe. However, if we are rash to attack without a large force, maybe we will just take our lives,” said Sugang Laksama. “It is only, you are equipped with an army to become heroes for your own people.”

“I became very homesick with Alma,” chirped Prince Degrees Soul suddenly, out of the topic of chat the handsome young men.

However, the words of the Soul Degrees made everyone look at him. The words Soul Degrees instantly made them imagine a beautiful face that was still so young, a powerful woman who liked to laugh like fathers. He laughed a little, laughed a little, as if he was the Goddess of Laughter.

“Ah, Prince makes us all miss,” said Bandeng Prakas.

“You should have thought of Ninda Serumi, Bandeng,” said Arya Mungkara.

“I don't care about him anymore. It is better that I love Alma even if I can only imagine it,” said Bandeng Prakas.

“Can't, your ration is Ninda Serumi. We are both very close to Alma!” ariang Banu.

“You all don't confess. I've been asking for Alma. Who dares to snatch his heart from me, will I make sure they have to arch my corpse first!” the exclaimed Prince of Soul Degrees surprised the young men, especially Prince Sugang Laksama.

“I was surprised, you guys turned out to have one girl dream the same,” said Sugang Laksama.

“Already, why do we fuss about Alma even a little we do not know where it is,” said Arung Seto.

“If there is, I will not be silent. I am ready to bet my life for Alma, just as we bet our lives for Ninda Serumi's love,” Balingga said. “And representatives cannot precede Team Head.”

Balingga glanced at Ujang Barendo who became his representative.

“With the appointment of you as the Head of the Team, do you think the child of the fish master can be superior to the favorite son of the jengkol boss?” ujang Barendo.

“Do you want to prove it now?” challenge Balingga.

“Hey, what are you booming about? Your dispute will threaten your own troops later!” hardik Arya Mungkara's.

“I as Crown Prince have a greater chance to get Alma Fatara,” said Sugang Laksama suddenly, even though he was not the one who was involved in the dart match in Balongan Duchy two years ago, where Alma has a major contribution in thwarting an official's devious ploy.

Hearing the Crown Prince's words, the Soul Degrees and the others returned in shock. They never knew that the married Crown Prince was also interested in Alma.

The Soul Degrees suddenly changed looking intently at her brother.

“What are you saying, Kakang Sugang?!” The Soul asked loudly.

“Hahaha …! No need to be angry, calm down. I was just kidding. Hahaha!”

“However, if you have any intention of luring Alma one day, I will rebel against the title of Crown Prince you hold!” threatening Soul Degrees seriously with an angry face.

Surprised Sugang Laksama hears of a serious threat from his sister. He did not expect that his joke would make his sister so angry.

With a body gesture that showed anger, the Prince of Soul Degrees turned away and climbed onto his horse. He's heading towards his army line.

“It looks like this love competition will be more challenging,” said Ariang Banu while smiling demonically.

“The main thing we have to think about is the fate of Father and Mother,” said Arung Seto reminded his sister. The handsome young man who had a mole above his eyebrows added, “How can we fight a woman who is not among us?”

“Means Kakang do not participate if Alma appears in Balongan again,” said Ariang Banu. “Because I dreamed it two nights ago. Hahaha!”

“Eh, why are we the same, Banu!” sahut Balingga suddenly pointed at Ariang Banu.

“Hah! You don't make it up, Balingga!” tukas Ariang Banu. “I can't believe if you too suddenly dream of Alma.”

“My dream was a mess, but in that dream I felt Alma was present!” balingga toilet watery, for he said to the extent that his spit was spurting.

“Try telling me your dream!” pinta Ariang Banu's.

“I met a fat woman I never knew. However, in that dream I assumed he was Alma, so I felt happy in that dream,” Balingga story.

“Hahaha ..!” the laughter heard the story.

Fut fuuut!

Suddenly a certain rhythmic horn trumpet sound was heard.

“Ayo departing!” exclaimed Sugang Laksama, because it was a sign that the troops would leave. He immediately got on his horse.

The group of handsome young men immediately dispersed. They went up to each other's horses, then drove their horses towards their respective armies.

Along with that, Senopati Geruduk Ati came riding with Kebo Angel, Commander of the Iron Heart Army.

Senopati will lead two thousand foot soldiers and seven hundred horsemen. However, their forces would increase when they arrived at the Singayam Kingdom military base located outside the Capital City.

The team, which was previously in rest mode, is now ready to bring their respective spirit supplies.

Senopati Geruduk Ati who was dressed in war, stopped his horse in front of the whole army. Meanwhile, Commander Kebo Angel continued to run fast with his horse while ensuring the readiness of each Head of the Army.

After arriving in front of the last line of troops, Kebo Angel turned back and came to Senopati Geruduk Ati.

“All teams are ready, Gusti!” report Commander Kebo Angel loud.

Senopati. He pulled out his keris and lifted it up high.

“Singayaaam Squad! Time frame!” shouted Senopati Geruduk Ati with a voice containing deep energy.

Fuyout! Fuyout! Fuyout!

The shout was followed by the sound of a number of horn trumpets that were earthy.

Then the troops began to leave in an orderly manner. (BH)
