FIVE LEGENDARY LOSERS
Bag. 9, Chapter. Cough, ch. 4
When the pleasure of the warrior begins, suddenly…
SHEPPS
An arrow shot out and pierced through the soldier's neck.
“Arghhhh..” The soldier died instantly. His other friends suddenly panicked.
SHEEPPP SHEEPP SHEEPPP
Several arrows hit the soldiers' bodies. Instantly they were plunged into lifeless ground.
HUP CIAT CIAATTT
A surprise attack carried out by two unknown people disrupted the readiness of the confused soldier group. Flashes of swords seemed to float and slash into the bodies of the soldiers. They did not even have time to make a meaningful fight.
CRESS CREESSSS
AGHHHHHHH
The soldiers were covered in blood.
PAKK PAKK PAKKK PAKK
While the other attacker who was rather fat, skillfully swinging the wooden stick hit the remaining soldiers stubbornly.
BRUK BRUK BRUK BRUK
The rest of the soldiers also fell down with their heads almost broken.
A few spears away, seen two soldiers who survived the attack ran quickly to get away.
“To be let alone?” Said the fat man to his friend.
“Let's just” Reply to his friend.
“Haaa .. I am also reluctant to pursue” This man is named Zul.
Then suddenly…
SHEEPP SHEEPP
Two arrows shot towards the two soldiers who tried to escape.
BRUGGGS
Both fall simultaneously.
The other man came out from behind the tree while chewing the sugar cane and hanging his bow to his shoulder.
“It's done.” He said to two of his friends.
The three of them are Dharma, Pay and Zul.
Three people who seemed to be on their way and happened to pass by at that place. For them, wherever they see tyranny, especially by the palace soldiers, their presence is to punish those who are guilty.
After they checked and made sure there were no more soldiers still alive, then they approached Ijah. Pay then took the cloth and closed it to Ijah's body.
“She's still fainting.” Word Pay.
“We'd better take him away from here.” The word Dharma.
“Where?” Ask Zul.
“Ke palace, ha .. ha .. ha ...” Answer Dharma jokingly.
“I'm serious.” Said Zul again.
“We'll just take him first. Important far from here.” Dharma gave me another suggestion.
“Good Mr.” Pay assented.
“You hurry up, I will bring that one horse to be with us, it looks like we will need it” Dharma said then release the related horse in the carriage and take it.
Ijah's body is then boponged by Pay.
The three of them then rushed away from the place, leaving the corpses of the soldiers scattered.

“Aghhh ..” Ijah start siuman.
“Hey ... rest easy” Dharma approached Ijah and restrained his body from rising.
“Where am I?” Ijah is still not fully siuman.
“Don't say much first. You still haven't recovered” Dharma said again.
Ijah looked around. He was shocked when he found three foreign men nearby.
“Who are you? Where is this?” Ijah panic. He got up when then he realized as the cloth covering his body fell down.
Quickly Ijah grabbed back the cloth and covered his body.
“Stay there. What happened?” Ijah tried hard to remember.
“Drink first.” Pay offers drinking water to Ijah.
“Who are you? Answer!!” Ijah yelled at them.
“I Dharma, this is Mr. Pay, and he named Zul” Kata Dharma introduced himself.
“You've been unconscious for two days. Here, drink in advance” Pay again offers drinks.
Ijah received a bag of drinks from Pay and immediately drank them.
“Uhukkkk Ijah coughed.
“Slow down .. take the time you need” Dharma said again.
“Opa Hanim Ijah remembered his teacher.
“Who is he?” Ask Zul.
“Teacher in padepokan” Reply Ijah.
“That burnt-out plaster?” Ask Zul again.
Ijah's speechless.
“Nothing is left there. Everything has burned. Cadavers too. There was one female corpse that we met there also in a charred condition crushed by the other corpse, Dharma explained.
“It looks like they were deliberately burned. Unfortunately the fire did not burn long enough to melt the bodies” Timpal Pay.
Ijah began to shed tears. His heart was broken. Slowly his memory began to return.
“You rest. Wear this” Dharma said while putting some clothes near Ijah.
“We are not bad people. We will take care of you” Pay said later.
“I'm hungry. When do we look for food?” Zul.
Dharma and Pay were staring at Zul.
“I'm hungry” Zul confirms.
“We also” Dharma and Pay words together.
Ijah looked at the three of them not understanding.
***
After getting enough rest, slowly Ijah's state gets better.
With the help of the inner energy from Zul, Ijah had finally completely recovered. Ijah felt that these helpers were good people. It was evident they never did anything to him.
Ijah has told everything, about the incident of how his padepokan attacked the palace soldiers. About Opa Hanim, about how he was finally brought by the soldiers.
Ijah told it with tears. Dharma, Pay and Zul listened to him carefully and went to feel deep sorrow.
Dharma has also told me about himself and Pay. About their plans ahead. Also brief about the real Zul they just met. Dharma has made his offer to join.
After thinking for a while, Ijah finally decided to walk with them. There is still hope for him to resolve the pain that has been inflicted.
The explanation of Dharma and Pay had been enough to convince him. Ijah now looked at the horizon with a different gaze.

“We are a few days late than we should have been.” Dharma opened his conversation with Pay when that day they decided to continue their journey back to their hiding place.
“True sir, but I don't think our delay is anything to regret either. Look, at least we get extra power, right?” Word Pay.
“Zul seems to be very good at fighting with his stick, he also understands about the power in.” Dharma gave his praise.
“True Sir, we are lucky to find him.” Answer Pay later.
“What do you think about Ijah?” Ask Dharma.
“From the story, he also seems to be a fighter Tuan.” Answer Pay.
“I feel so too. It's only a matter of time when he'll prove it.” Dharma again.
“Looks like we should hurry Tuan” Word Pay reminded.
“True, Mr. Pay right” Dharma replied.
The four of them each drove their horses. Zul and Ijah are behind Dharma and Pay.
***
The sky seemed to begin to blacken as Dharma and the other three reached their hiding places.
That day their camp was noticeably more crowded than it had been before it was abandoned. Dharma and Pay, along with Zul and Ijah were in the camp when the Bus came to greet and provide the latest information about their movements.
