Alma's Journey Looking for a Mother

Mak Bolt 27: Poison Rain

*Pirate Burner (Bolt Shell)*

Seeing the Sea Grasshopper darting in the sky like a flying creature, Bandeng Prakas quickly commandeered.

“Arrow!” shouted Bandeng Prakas inside the circle formation of the shield fortress.

Set set set …!

“Akh! Akhs! Akh ..!”

However, just now the arrow soldier in the circle was about to release his arrow, first from the top side, from behind the lush foliage of the trees, dozens of arrows attacked.

The soldier owner of the shield quickly raised his shield to protect himself. However, there was still a huge hole on the top side of the formation. The arrow soldiers who were just about to aim at the Sea Grasshopper, collided because they were hit by the arrow first.

Uniquely from the attack of arrows on the tree, the mounted weapons have a fairly high sophistication, because with only one pull of the rope by Colong Larik, dozens of arrows that have been installed behind the leaves, and even more, can escape at once. And the position of the arrows made of wood and bamboo slats was not visible from the bottom side.

The casualties on the First Army were increasing.

Several horsemen warriors quickly chased the direction of the Sea Grasshopper's movement. They got out of the way and broke through the thickets.

The Sea Grasshopper, in the condition that there was an arrow on his stomach beside him, stood alert with two unsheathed swords. While enduring the pain, he stared intently at the arrival of the five sword-wielding horsemen as well.

Sreth! Sreth!

Set set set …!

“Akh! Akhs! Akh ..!”

Simultaneously, the Wet Centipede and Colong Larik pulled a piece of rope nearby. The rope has been styled as neatly as possible which connects with the key lever.

So, again the rain of arrows came from the upper side, which fell from behind the leaves of the tree. But this time, the rain of arrows came from the two sides of the opposite road.

Back the soldiers rode and pedestrians collided in large numbers.

Bandeng Prakas quickly took the initiative to leave his protective position inside the formation, he flashed onto a tree. He is the same as Arya Mungkara, relying on arrows. He and Arya Mungkara had been archery rivals before serving in the military of Singayam Kingdom.

Riding on a tree branch, Bandeng Prakas quickly saw the existence of Colong Larik who was standing hidden behind a tree trunk.

The set!

Sigap Bandeng Prakas releases his arrows to Colong Larik.

The set! Bseti! The rue!

While leaping nimbly, Colong Larik blasted one of his thin metal disc weapons. However, the attack did not target Bandeng Prakas, but rather a tree branch that was on the top side of his head.

The disc weapon cut off the base of the branch neatly, making the branch fall off. Bandeng Prakas swiftly flashed avoiding the override of the big branch, but while shooting the movement of Colong Larik.

The set! The set!

It turned out that Colong Larik at the same time also stepped on the other disc, chasing the movement of the body of Bandeng Prakas.

The set! The set!

“Ukh!” holong Larik complained as the arrow eyes of Bandeng Prakas scratched in his right temple.

“Aak!” pekik held back Bandeng Prakas also, when the disc weapon Colong Larik hit the bow as well as his right arm.

“Strike!” shouted Arya Mungkara while pointing at the position of Colong Larik.

So, the soldiers who were still fit immediately flocked to attack Colong Larik's position.

Set sets!

Colong Larik deftly caught his two metal plates home, then again glided them to the soldiers who came with sword and spear weapons.

“Aac! Akhs! Akh ..!” the screams of the soldiers whose necks and bodies were struck by the disc were injured and killed.

However, not all soldiers were hit. The escaped soldier directly attacked Colong Larik with a spear thrust and a sword slash.

Inevitably, Colong Larik had to endure and dodge. To the extent that he did not have time to recapture two discs that shot home. The two discs eventually fell into the thicket.

In a short time, Colong Larik's position was already surrounded. When he wanted to jump away, there was no chance as he had to focus more on dodging the weapons attacks.

Brooch! Blouse!

In a moment of desperation and siege by dozens of soldiers, Colong Larik suddenly sent a wave of magic energy to the ground. One violent explosion occurred which destroyed the street ground and knocked out the soldiers on its front side.

Although many soldiers were made to bounce and die, the soldiers at the back quickly thrust spears. Spark Colong Barik leapt up into the air avoiding the three spear thrusts.

The set! Seb!

“Aaak!” colong Larik's long scream as suddenly one arrow from Arya Mungkara pierced his chest, while his body was still in the air.

Set sets! Tsub!

When Colong Larik's body fell, two sword slashes of the warrior immediately greeted him, covered with a single spear thrust around his neck.

“Colong Lariiik!” shouted the Sea Grasshopper hysterically seeing the death of his partner.

The Wet centipede that was still in hiding was also shocked to learn of Colong Larik's death.

“Will all of you be finished! Woi woi woi!” shouted the Sea Grasshopper while rampaging like a wounded female demon.

His sword did not recognize any kind of enemy, either warriors or horsemen, all but dead.

Out of the five cavalrymen who roared the Sea Grasshopper, there was one left who was not dead. The skinny woman did not have to finish everything first to then jump like a grasshopper pouncing on Bandeng Prakas.

However, the Sea Grasshopper could actually fortify itself by thrusting its sword towards the incoming blow. It forced Bandeng Prakas to hold his punch and jump back.

“Seraaang!”

Just as the Sea Grasshopper was about to hunt down his opponent, a group of spearmen came running to attack him. Seeing the wave of the attack, the Sea Grasshopper was even more excited and turned to meet the soldiers.

Tang! Cras!

The Sea Grasshopper played its sword fending off the piercing spears, then nimbly tearing through the stomachs of the soldiers with its two terrifying swords. Seen Sea Grasshopper is a tough female pirate figure, even though his stomach is bleeding by arrows that are still perched.

Sret sret!

Set set set …!

“Akk! Akk! Akk ..!”

The Wet centipede that was still hiding on top of the big tree, pulled the two ropes left for him. So, from behind the leaves of various trees dozens of arrows to the bottom.

The cavalry and pedestrians who thought the arrow attack was over, were in a careless position. They could only be shocked when the rain of arrows came.

No doubt, dozens of soldiers were again hit by arrows. Dozens of soldiers were killed and many more were only wounded.

Realizing that there were still enemies hiding, Arya Mungkara as the First Army Chief quickly acted.

Arya Mungkara flashed into the undergrowth while her gaze searched for the presence of enemies above the trees. While the arrow is already attached in the bow.

Five horses galloping about to crash into the Sea Grasshopper. The soldier who had ganged on him quickly got out of the way when the five horses came.

Unwilling to risk, the Sea Grasshopper chose to jump far away like a flying grasshopper, passing over the top of the five horses.

“Arrow!” shouted Bandeng Prakas.

The arrow soldiers who could still fight directly aimed at the movements of the Sea Grasshopper, along with a group of other soldiers came running in pursuit of where the female landed.

The suass! Blouse!

The Sea Grasshopper flashed a red beam that shattered the ground in front of the feet of the soldiers who came to him, making the soldiers clump with both feet crushed.

Set set set …!

Tang ting tang ting! Seb!

“Akk!”

While busy straddling the rain of arrows that were not so crowded, one arrow managed to pierce through the left arm of the Sea Grasshopper that was being lifted freely. He screamed with the sword in his left hand loose. However, he was still trying to survive with a single sword in hand.

The set! Teb!

Meanwhile, Arya Mungkara has discovered the existence of the Wet Centipede. His arrow shot straight up onto one large tree. However, the gallant man quickly darted across the tree, making Arya Mungkara's arrow just stick in the tree trunk.

“Branch Keriying!” shouted Wet Centipede suddenly.

Hearing that shout, the Sea Grasshopper who was still strong fighting quickly made a leap of his trunk leaving the road that became a battlefield.

The set!

Bandeng Prakas who has been armed with a new bow quickly archery the body lesatan Sea Grasshopper, but not hit.

The set! Teb!

Wet centipede thrust his short spear into a tree and precisely stuck on the branch with a knot of small rope. The rope broke.

After that, suddenly a branch that was curved by a rope, so it came off and threw a large jar into the air, precisely on the road where the royal forces were still separated by half the number.

Sess! Prakr!

The brux!

The Wet centipede flashed a faint green ray of curvature that broke the sealed jar. From the destruction of the urn scattered thick red flour and immediately spread. The flour made the air turn red and move down like mist.

Arya Mungkara surprised not playing. He immediately suspected that it was a poison powder.

“Awas poison!” arya Mungkara shouted quickly. His position that was out of the way made it quite far from the reach of that red powder.

“Do not breathe!” shouted Bandeng Prakas.

Whuss!

Bandeng Prakas quickly release the wind blows upwards to keep the poison rain away.

“Munduuur!” arya Mungkara shouted in order to save her remaining troops.

“Wik wik wik wik! Wik wik wik wik wik!”

At the same time, the Wet Centipede shouted shrillly giving the code. Similar codes were later voiced by Sea Grasshoppers.

Arya Mungkara and Bandeng Prakas do not understand the meaning of the screeching “wik wik” it. They and their troops are only in a tense condition. (BH)
