KEEP BUANA (Rise of Darkness)

The Remnant of the Lamahtang Army

At night when Gentayu faced the Devil's Coral, in other places Mpu Jangger and his troops also suffered an attack.

In accordance with the estimates of Rambang Dangku, the influence of hundreds of liters of sleeping poison that they dissolved in the water consumed by the soldiers some time ago began to fade after the soldiers drank water from the river that passed.

As a result, on that night all excepted tenpa soldiers including Mpu Jangger were finally able to fall asleep after more than a week they could not sleep.

Seeing this, the dozens of warriors of the Star of Hope alliance under the leadership of Benduriang immediately acted.

The warhorses including the freight cars became their first targets. As the entire army fell asleep without anyone succeeding in resisting the drowsiness, the warriors released all the tethered horses. The horses immediately ran to and fro before disappearing into the forest. The horses were herded by four female warriors using torch fire and several mares.

While the supply train they looted and rushed to the edge of the river. It was hidden after its towing horses were thrown away at the edge of a nearby forest. The plan, the supplies were in addition to increasing the supplies of warriors as well as to help the villagers around who began to suffer from hunger. They managed to secure two hundred more supply trains that night.

It's time for the third team to move. They were made up of warriors who had a long-range fighting style. About 20 people have been scattered to surround the tents of soldiers who spread on an area of not less than one hectare of land. They prepare arrows, spears, knives and various other throwing weapons.

Benduriang immediately gave a cue to a nearby swordsman who was carrying an arrow. The arrow had been lit by fire at the end of its arrowhead, and after Gentayu gave the cue to shoot, the arrow shot to a point around the warrior camp.

The darts are then followed by other fire arrows from the four winds. And in an instant, a ring of fire had formed and joined together.

Apparently, they had prepared everything carefully. A small trench filled with dry foliage and watered with castor oil has been prepared. Castor oil is what accelerates the burning of dry leaves, then burns the place violently, in less than ten counts.

The soldiers of Lamahtang actually slept so soundly that they could no longer feel the hot flames touching their skin. They only began to realize when the fire had completely touched their skin and burned some of the clothes they were wearing. Not just ordinary soldiers, even magic warriors experience the same thing. Sleeping too soundly.

Surprisingly, they could not immediately go to save themselves after waking up, but instead went to sleep again regardless of the fire that started burning their bodies. Again, it turned out that the warriors of the Hope Star alliance used the poison they obtained from the slaughter of four hundred warriors on the brink some time ago.

The fire quickly grew and scorched the tents following its inhabitants. They were burned in their sleep and unable to wake up from inhaling the poison vaporized by the heat of the fire that night.

There was no resistance, except to be seen some warriors who were seen jumping trying to break through the fire and then fell back asleep after being outside the confines of the fire. No matter the condition of their bodies that started to burn. Soon they became easy targets of archers from the Star of Hope alliance who slaughtered them mercilessly.

Mpu Jangger even forced his eyes to open in the most sadistic manner. He deliberately burned the hair on his head so that his sleepiness was gone, but in vain. The fire of his recitation was soon extinguished when his eyes began to shut, leaving the rest of the curling hair between the bald head.

The drowsiness he had barely felt for the past few decades had now completely tormented him. He resisted his desire to sleep, but in vain. His body rose, but a moment later fell back to the ground and fell asleep. Four arrows pointed at him, but did not manage to pierce through his skin.

Benduriang immediately intervened because he had seen for himself how great the old man from the island of Padi Perak. Burning the old man will also be useless, because to his knowledge, the warriors Segoro Geni actually mastered the science of fire elements by doing tapa geni.

“Let me alone, chief.” a woman suddenly volunteered while drawing out her sword. Stepping closer to the body of Mpu Jangger without waiting for Benduriang's approval.

The sword eyes flashed for a moment. Then the warrior woman raised her sword high above her head. It was then that a flash of lightning seemed to begin to envelop the sword blade. And a second later..

‘Blash!’

Lightning flashes accompanied the movement of the swordsman beheaded Mpu Jangger. The sword landed right on the back neck of the Mpu jangger.

‘KYAAAAAAA...!’

It is precisely the female warrior who is now bouncing, along with the bouncing of the body of Mpu Jangger in the opposite direction.

The lightning clearly injured Mpu's beard even though his skin remained immune. However, the condition of the female warrior itself is actually concerning. His body slammed violently backwards and almost entered into the blazing flames.

While the body of Mpu Jangger actually slowly rose up, making the besieging warriors become vigilant.

“Worms like you guys want to mess with me? Feel this....!!” Mpu Jangger was actually awakened after receiving a lightning sword attack. With a menacing aura, Mpu Jangger who now has a kribo hair and a charred face immediately lunged at Benduriang following two members of the Star of Hope alliance.

Benduriang deflected the Mpu Jangger tread blow with his right elbow, but it turned out that the pressure given by Mpu Jangger was too great for him. An explosion was created on Benduriang's knee, knocking him several fathoms back. As fast as lightning, another Mpu Jangger attack targeted the female swordsman with a lightning sword and archer beside him.

The female swordsman managed to dodge the attack in time by jumping high into the air while slashing her sword at the head of Mpu Jangger. Lightning flashes struck once again but this time Mpu Jangger actually held it with his left palm.

The Archer's warrior was less fortunate. His body was blown away by the blow of Mpu Jangger's left palm before being used to withstand the lightning strike.

Now, the lightning strike turned to hit the body of the female warrior who was still floating in the air and threw it behind a bush that had not been burned.

That was when, dozens of arrows shot back towards the Mpu Jangger from the four winds.

The swordsman from Segoro Geni confidently let the arrows hit him. One, two, ten, thirteen arrows fell bouncing when they touched Mpu Jangger's body. But not with the fourteenth arrow. The arrow was right stuck in the chest of Mpu Jangger.

The old man looked towards the arrow. As if I could not believe there was a small arrow that managed to penetrate his skin, the arrow was immediately removed. Blood flowed from the wound due to the pierced arrow, but Mpu Jangger did not seem to care. He was busy observing the arrows in his hand.
