Not many of the Southern Group could return to their headquarters in the largest marketplace Horse Land Market in the Southern area. Most have to be hospitalized. Among those who managed to return at that time, from the senior elite only Cak Embossed, while Jarwo, Mang Lipay and Cak Nawi were forced to be rushed to the IGD because of severe injuries due to fighting with Rio before. Of the Junior Elites only Indra could still fight, while the others could not continue the fight and a handful of their men. Even with the injured condition. Luckily, Komar from the Eastern group participated at that time accompanied by 5 people of his faith.
Hiukali and Kobang who were waiting for them near the gate were shocked to see the state of Cak Embossed and his troops. The two also deliberately did not discuss how the fight in the East Group, because there were more important things they had to face at that time. For the same reason, the injured Cak Emboss was forced to return to their headquarters to provide mental support to his juniors.
"So, how's King doing right now, Cak ?" Hiukali asked as they walked to the inside of the market.
"At this time,.. We can only trust King to that woman." Said Cak Embossed with a heavy tone while sighing deeply.
However, he felt most guilty for being forced to allow King to be taken by Hera at that time. Though Cak Timbul itself does not know Hera or any information about the beautiful virgin. But, he realized defending Zaha even when it was very impossible for them. Seeing from Hera's fighting ability that could compensate Rio, who could even subvert his three juniors. But, seeing from the gazes and seriousness of the mysterious girl, Cak Embossed felt able to entrust the safety of King who was being critical at that time. And maybe even Hera is the only possible chance to save the dying King aka Zaha.
"Actually who's the woman that Cak told you to call earlier ?" Tanya Kobang also chimed in curious.
"I don't know who he is yet. But, I'm sure he'll call us soon. Let's just wait!" Cak Embul answered trying to convince everyone also to himself.
"Now how long are they gonna be here ?" Tanya Cak Embossed diverted the conversation. After all, he was now only the senior leader in charge of the Southern Group, when their leader was absent.
"At least another half an hour.."
"Gosh, Pamaan.." Said a woman a little hysterical and cut off Hiukali's speech.
The woman who was none other than Virangel walked hurriedly and hit Cak Embossed while hugging him quite tightly.
"Your first look at uncle getting hurt is like this, Ra!" Cak Timbul calming.
Virangel himself sighed in trying to win himself over. For a long time, he never again saw the uncle who took care of him as a child fighting. And when he saw Cak Arise who was injured again, made his heart was shaky and worried.
"Yes, King how's Uncle ?" Virangel asked as he broke his embrace. Seeing that only a few of them returned at that time.
"Let's talk about it, there's something more important right now that we have to deal with."
"So, how many of our powers are left ?" Cak Embossed Manatap Virangel.
"In addition to Uncle's entourage, currently our strength is only 30 percent left." Virangel answered with a heavy tone.
"The Cobra's bastard. He knew that our strength would be much reduced due to today's battle. Cheek..." Infuriated Kobang who seemed unhappy with the actions of the opponents who deliberately took advantage of their conditions.
"Hmnn otherwise, not his nickname snake." Hiukali.
"But sorry before. Why should we go to the Southern Group headquarters instead of attacking our headquarters ? Wouldn't that be much easier for the Northern Group?" Tanya Komar interrupted.
"It's all because of our founder's legacy."
"I mean Cak, the legacy of the first chairman ? Dragon Clan ?" Komar asked in surprise.
"Yes, first..."
"Sir.. haahh haahhh," Cak Embossed speech was forced to be cut off as soon as his men came in with gasps and rushed to bring an important news.
"What's le ?"
"That's Cak. hahhh, in-front of the Northern Group attacking us."
"Relax le... How many people are they ?"
"Not sure how many, like more than a hundred Cak."
"Sat! I'll go ahead first. Let me poke his head around that cunning cobra." Said Kobang which is easy to ride apitam.
"Calm yourself, Kobang! We'll wait for them here. Let no one split up and act alone, let them in. We're gonna face them all out here." Said Cak Embossed calmly, which is indeed rich in fighting experience. Kobang still looks emotional and wants to quickly meet Snake, the leader of the Northern group.
"True Cak Arise, if We face them alone it will benefit those who will easily finish Us. Our best chance is to face them together here. Maybe we'll still lose, but at least we can drain their power. Thank goodness one of us can finish off the cobra later." Sela Komar who helped justify the opinion of Cak Embossed.
"Don't look at me like that Uncle. I won't take a step back from here, dead one all dead. I've refrained from attacking before, this time I won't back down one bit." Virangel said firmly as soon as he saw the gaze of his uncle who seemed to worry about him. It seems, even the girl's confidence will not be easily shaken anymore. His determination was already unanimous to fight together.
Cak Timbul just smiled knots while shaking his head to see the nephew who was like his son.
"It's not you Uncle who's worried. But, the three girls back there." Cak Embossed a little joking.
"God! I forgot they were here. Let me take care of them first, but I can't guarantee their safety." Virangel said as he passed towards the three teenage girls who were still there.
As Virangel spoke for a while with the three, there was a look of shock and fear on his third face. Then, directed by Virangel, the three are taken to the deepest part of the market, to a safer place. Because there will soon be a big battle. As Virangel said before, He alone cannot guarantee the safety of the three. By putting them there at least they are a little safer, the matter of survival does not depend on their own fate.
Not long after Virangel left, Cak Emboss spoke to all his colleagues and Komar.
"Maybe now, this time.. The Chairman is not with us here. But, you need to know, it was King who brought victory to us by defeating Cakra today. Now, it's our turn to guard this base. Don't let the rotten snakes of the Northern Group ruffle our pride headquarters.." Cak Embossed fiery, making the spirit of his men jumped up and smoldering.
