BATTLE CRY'S

Lontara 17: The Village

Andros thought of an idea, but it was very risky.

"Grandfather, can you tell me how high the science of this bandit leader is?"

"There is only one person who has the Silver Mage level, that is their leader. While his men have the highest level of mastery in Pro Magician." Said the village chief.

"All right, we'll take care of them. Uncle Ozo, can I hand over their leader to you?"

Uncle Ozo thought for a moment, he felt that this was not a good idea.

"Wait a minute Andros, this matter is not that simple. If we fail then those bandits will attack this village." Uncle Ozo thought for sure the bandits knew that the one who sent them was this farm village.

Although Uncle Ozo can defeat them all at once but his condition will be severely injured.

Andros thought again. At first the way was to save the Sandra first and then face them all but if the situation got out of hand and they fled, it would be tantamount to bringing trouble to this village.

Andros got an idea. By giving them a poison that can put them to sleep.

"It's not that easy, a magician can detect other magicians if they don't use special magic or the Magic Tool that can hide their existence. I don't have a single skill or Magic Tool like that" Uncle Ozo explained if each of the sorcerers can sense the magic power of the other sorcerers. Depending on the level of knowledge.

"If it's about leave it to me." Andros gave his thumb.

The old grandfather only looked while drugged from earlier, yet he had high hopes on these two people.

Because it was getting dark, Andros and Uncle Ozo decided to look for lodging because the house of the village chief did not have more rooms.

They walked until they found a simple inn that became one with a restaurant.

They enter but visitors are not crowded, only seen a few people who are eating cheap dishes.

Uncle Ozo and Andros sat at a table by the window so they could look up at the night sky.

They ordered a makeshift menu because the restaurant supplies were mostly handed over to the mountain bandits.

Uncle Ozo ate his food leisurely while Andros chewed while staring at the night sky.

A sreeek!!

He heard the sound of a bush. Andros flowed a deep Energy in both eyes and saw a silhouette of a shadow behind the bush.

"Who's in there!!?" Andros. Feeling caught, the silhouette immediately blurred. Andros did not stay still, he jumped from the window and chased after the shadow. He was worried if it was the eyes of the enemy. While Uncle Ozo followed but came out through the door.

The silhouette quickly ran and swerved in the residents' house but Andros mastered the science of lightening the body that is the Wind Trail. This made him able to move nimbly even without any power in his possession.

When in the dead-end alley he caught the silhouette, he was shocked because the silhouette turned out to be a small child. About seven or six years.

"Sorry, young master. Please forgive me, for it is presumptuous to see the young master eating food." Said the boy while apologizing in a trembling voice.I

Andros' appearance as a Magical Swordsman frightened him. Especially because of the long white sword at Andros' waist.

The boy replied hesitantly but before that answered his stomach answered first.

Crewman!

"Hahaha, you're hungry. All right, come with me." Andros let out his trademark smile and then pulled the boy's hand.

When Uncle Ozo met them he was astonished to see a strange boy. Having no magic that could hasten Uncle Ozo's steps was left far behind from Andros and the boy.

"Who's that boy?" Ask Uncle Ozo.

"She...What's your name?" Ask Andros.

"Mantha." The boy replied doubtfully.

Finally Uncle Ozo understood the situation and agreed that Mantha would join them.

When the new dish came, Mantha's eyes seemed to glow with light. He had not eaten for two days but however hungry he kept his manners and waited to be told to eat the dish. Uncle Ozo smiled seeing the attitude of the boy as well as allowing him to eat first.

Mantha ate voraciously, apparently this Mantha was an orphan from this village, her family was killed when the mountain bandits first arrived in the village.

Andros listened carefully and then strengthened his resolve, lest there be children who became orphans like Mantha due to the actions of people who abuse power like the bandits.

In the morning Andros and Uncle Ozo saw the situation of the village and observed the movements of the bandits, the bandit headquarters was a simple tent surrounded by a high wooden fence. There were fifty-two bandits there.

There was also an iron cage that contained a half-naked village woman staring blankly. Andros wanted to beat up the group immediately but Uncle Ozo calmed him down and reminded him to follow the original plan.

The plan was that they would poison them at dusk, because according to the village chief. The bandits would start partying and drinking at that time, intentionally at that time because if the poisoning was uneven then there would be people suspicious.

"Eh, wait a minute" when Uncle Ozo returned home just thought of something important.

"I can't make sleeping pills, only an Alchemist can concoct something like that." How ridiculous they are, from yesterday, to talk about poison but not mind if he does not master Alchemy.

Uncle Ozo started massaging his forehead, but Andros later told him he knew a thing or two about Alchemy. It made Uncle Ozo relieved.

Andros' father, though a Sword Magician, also had little Alchemy ability. And thanks to his father he managed to get the knowledge.

While waiting, the two of them were around the village chief's house. Andros was sitting cross-legged on a tree that had been cut down while closing his eyes.

While Uncle Ozo was teaching some magic from the Grimoire that he had learned to the mantha. Grimoire is a book that holds magic techniques and science about magic. Contains a variety of magic, ranging from attack, recovery, support and others. In short they are the Book of Magic.

Mantha began to gather magic energy or Mana in the surroundings by gradually gathering magic energy it would expand and deepen the Mana pool in a person. Mantha absorbed the magic for 3 hours and then changes appeared on her body. His body let out a burst of Energy and Mantha felt her body fitter and her hunger was gone.
