They wait. Ken is too. He wanted to run away at the time but couldn't. The Chief Robber must've held him down because it took more people when he attacked.
There was a long sound.
"Ah, get caught again!" said the Chief Robber was upset. "Let's attack." He let his horse approach the door, followed by another 2 robbers approached the wall with horses to the left right of the gate and began to climb. Peering down, they directly descended and attacked the guards behind the gate. After that, the gate was opened by them.
The herd of robbers followed by Ken started to go inside and see the situation. There were several separate buildings and in front of them stood several guards preparing to attack.
The two robbers who came first were fighting with other guards. Ken tried to get behind the band of robbers so that he did not attack and only did martial arts.
War is inevitable. Once inside they were immediately attacked by the guards of that place which numbered a lot. Robbers attacked from above the horse by fending off the attacks that came with their swords. Ken is too. He was forced to draw a sword in order to avoid the attack from below in the form of the same sword. There was the sound of swords grinding against each other and the sound of people being hit by the sword. Blood was everywhere.
"Aghhh!"
"Uhh!"
This was the first time he fought with a sword. The martial arts he had learned earlier greatly helped him to do defense. But for a long time he also had to dare to attack because the ferocity of the house guards attacked him.
"Keep, attack this intruder!" scream someone.
Suddenly, while still making an attack, there was an arrow attack towards their group. Of course this made the group confused because the guards' attacks alone had already been a lot, plus the attacks of arrows numbering in the tens made their defenses weaken.
"Aghhh!"
"Aah!"
One by one the group of robbers were hit by arrows and Ken could see a greater potential for defeat. Rather than get caught, he chose to flee. As he reached the gate, an arrow pierced his shoulder from behind without his being able to escape.
"Aghhh!"
He glanced back with narrowed eyes in pain. The band of robbers began to fall. Now the time he should be able to escape before being caught as an accomplice to the criminal, but then in front of him he was confronted by 3 guards who were ready with their swords.
Ken who had raised the sword with both hands, now had difficulty swinging the sword, because of the pain in his shoulder. Ah, crap! How'this?
A sword almost hit his body if only another long sword did not protect him. Ken's surprised. A mysterious man in black ninja clothes and a face covered in cloth have been protecting him.
"Go quickly! I'll arrest them" cried the man.
"Mmhmd. Thank you." Thank you." Ken escaped his horse along the edge of the forest with a bang. He ran as far as he could until he felt he was far away and no one was following him. Then it stopped.
In a big tree he pulled over and came down from the horse. He saw his injured shoulder. With great courage he tried to pluck the arrow. "Aghhh!"
Blood poured out of the wound where at the same time he had to endure the pain of forcibly removing the arrow. Immediately he treated the wound by covering it with his hand. "Gee!" Cold sweat came out as he continued to endure the pain. He continued to press until the pain disappeared from his shoulder.
"Gr ...." He was finally able to breathe. He fell on the grass because of exhaustion.
There were footsteps of horses racing in the distance. Ken immediately sat down and saw a horse galloping towards him. He panicked. How'this? Rushing he rode the horse but this time he spurred his horse towards the forest.
He fell toppled and fortunately not crushed the horse that also fell beside him but his head was hit by the head of the horse that makes his head now dizzy. "Ohhh ...."
There was the sound of the footsteps of the horse that was running closer. Ken, who was still dizzy, tried to crawl to escape. There was another sound of horses stopping behind him and someone descending. The frightened Ken rushed himself to crawl away until the man touched the back of his neck.
"Ken!"
That sound. The short-haired man recognized the voice but. He immediately stood up and ran without looking.
The ninja-clothed man was naturally shocked. He chased after Ken and dropped him to the ground.
"Aah!"
The man looked over at him and looked at the short-haired man's face. "Ken! Don't you recognize me?" He then opened the cover of his face. "It's me!"
Ken could see the man's face clearly. "Oh, Mr. Ejiro ...," he said with a smile. "Thank you for helping me."
"Eh, what about your shoulder?" Just as Ejiro was about to touch the short-haired man's shoulder, the man tilted his shoulder and tried to cover it with his hand.
"Gr ...." Ken's pretending to be in pain. "Eh, it's okay, sir."
"Let me check it." The man in the codet almost touched the shoulder again if only it had not been held by Ken's hand.
"Eh, it's okay, sir. Really."
The dim atmosphere of the forest made the man unable to see the wound on Ken's shoulder clearly. He could only see bloodstains on the short-haired man's shoulder. "You pulled that arrow, huh? Let me see your wound."
Back Ken moved the shoulder away to make the man with the codet frown. "I intend to leave. I don't want to ruin your good name as a businessman. Thank you, for your help but let me go."
Ejiro looked at the man. He was like a different person than before. He looks smart. He's hiding something, but what? What ... I just hypnotized him. The man looked at Ken.
"Sir, please ...," said this short-haired man making Ejiro stunned.
He can't be affected by my hypnosis, amazing! The man in the box finally stood up. "Sorry."
"Eh, it's okay." Ken cleaned himself off the ground and leaves by patting his clothes.
Suddenly Ejiro attacked by curling his hand back. "Gee! Release ...."
The man examined Ken's shoulder and was shocked. There was no wound in that place when there was clearly an arrow hole mark on his shirt, as well as a blood stain that was still fresh wet the kimono shirt but the wound was like it was lost in the earth. "Where is the wound? You can get rid of your own wounds very magically. Who the hell are you? A witch or a demigod?"
"Ah, what?"
