KEEP BUANA (Rise of Darkness)
End of Journey
The news of Satan's Coral's death soon spread into the royal fortress. The news was deliberately spread as soon as possible by the warriors from the Hope Star alliance in order to weaken the mentality of the supporters of the black-flow alliance. On the reverse side, the alliance soldiers of the three duchies became even more excited after hearing the news. After all, the name Devil's Reef was a scourge for all warriors.
Until noon, the soldiers of the alliance of the three duchies continued to move to sweep away the remnants of the Lamahtang troops in the barracks and residences of the nobles. They killed every soldier they met. For the surrendered Lamahtang Soldiers, they were immediately tied up and held in noble houses as prisoners while waiting for the next decision on their fate.
From the houses of the nobles as well, the soldiers of the alliance of the three duchies managed to save more than three hundred young women who were held captive and ready to be sold or made into slaves. When found, most of them do not have body coverings, making it uncomfortable for the soldiers who want to save them. Finally, they were forced to strip the clothes of the Lamahtang soldiers who were their prisoners to wear to the women.
Beberapa di antara wanita yang disekap itu bahkan ditemukan dalam kondisi mengandung. Dengan tubuh kurus kering dan banyak terdapat bekas luka akibat penyiksaan.
It turns out it wasn't just that. More apprehensive conditions were again discovered as the alliance warriors opened the doors of the dungeons. There, they found hundreds of former soldiers supporting King Prabu Win in a very sad condition.
Some of the Prabu Win soldiers have even died rotting in the place due to lack of food and poor sanitation conditions. Those who survive, are warriors with above average abilities. But still, at this time they are not even able to just sit even though they are so weak.
Seeing the abomination, the hearts of the alliance soldiers became turbulent. They immediately moved to capture the remaining nobles. As per the orders of the alliance leaders, those corrupt and ruthless nobles were instantly executed on the spot.
The wives of the nobles and their children were gathered in a building in the middle of the city. Some of the nobles who tried to escape with their families were immediately killed except for their children.
It might be an unworthy punishment to avenge their abomination and betrayal. But at least, reducing the number of corrupt nobles and criminals means cleaning the life of the kingdom from thorns that will hinder and damage the rebuilding of the kingdom later after the war is over.
Mpu Jangger and Qiao Shen who watched Lamahtang have almost completely fallen into the hands of the alliance forces of the three duchies and the Swordsman of the Star of Hope are no longer able to do much. The thousands of troops they had brought had even been wiped out by only twenty people.
Not to mention seeing the chaotic condition of the kingdom, with their piles of warrior corpses strewn along the way, making Mpu Jangger and Qiao Shen not dare to appear blatantly.
“Gusti, what should we do now? If Grandpa Karang Satan alone can be defeated, it means that there is a more powerful swordsman behind all this” Qiao Shen asked Mpu Jangger. The news of the death of the Demon Coral they were with from the alliance soldiers clearly shocked the two of them.
Their intention to see a healer to treat Mpu Jangger's wounds has disappeared. Let alone meeting a physician, revealing their identity at this time was certain to make them in big trouble.
That was why Mpu Jangger and Qiao Shen left their horses just before entering the gate this morning. They also changed clothes with alliance warrior clothes that they found among the piles of corpses before reaching this place, right in front of the ruined training building.
“Hey, You guys.. quickly help the ones there!”
Suddenly, a person dressed like Mpu Jangger and Qiao Shen shouted. The screams went to the two of them. From his clothes, it seemed like that person was a butcher. Probably mistook Mpu Jangger and Qiao Shen as his soldiers.
Without a second thought, Qiao Shen who felt harassed immediately struck the person using his site punch.
The butcher was surprised, but still had time to fend off Qiao Shen's tread attack. But fatal as a result, Qiao Shen's punch was clearly lashed by a high-level poison. The butcher immediately pulled back his hand which now looked blue while grimacing in pain.
“There's Intruder!!!”
Suddenly, there was the cry of another warrior behind Qiao Shen and Mpu Jangger. The soldier witnessed how the person who was dressed exactly the same as him actually attacked his superior. Not only that, it was clear that the person was highly-scientific judging from his strength that could injure his superior with a single blow. Their disguises have been uncovered.
Not waiting for long, fourteen soldiers of the alliance of the three duchies immediately surrounded the two high-ranking Lamahtang. Their strength was clearly not comparable, even Mpu Jangger alone who was in the deepest condition would be able to overcome them.
Qiao Shen came forward to welcome the attack from those soldiers. Capacitantly, they were only a level 2 Swordsman class, definitely not a match for the Lamahtang senopati. But they continued to advance with their respective weapons.
The two warriors instantly collapsed as Qiao Shen stomped his feet against the ground, causing shock waves on the surface of the earth they were striking.
Each with a blackened footprint on their chest.
The other soldier became hesitant to act, but that was when an arrow shot toward Qiao Shen.
Qiao Shen very nimbly actually caught the arrow using his teeth while salting into the air, because it turned out that the arrow came not alone. There were more than ten other arrows that followed. Unfortunately, Qiao Shen was late in realizing something.
‘DHAR’!!
The stem of the arrow in Qiao Shen's mouth exploded. It caused a blaze that burned Qiao Shen's face and clearly shattered his teeth and naturally followed the mouth cavity of the talented young swordsman of the black stream. Followed by the next dozens of arrows that also stuck all over Qiao Shen's body. No one missed. And everything, exploded!
‘DHAR’!!
‘DHAR’!!
‘DHAR’!!
The smell of charred flesh gushed around the surroundings along with Qiao Shen's collapsed body.
Mpu Jangger obviously wanted to deny the carelessness of his subordinates, but was stopped. Didn't he also commit the same recklessness that had a wound pierced by an arrow at this time?
Putik Dewun, the Fire Arrow Swordsman appeared with a smile. His face was no longer covered by a black veil. Her graying hair was neatly carried, reflecting the remnants of her beauty in the past. The woman walked over towards the soldiers, staring intently at Mpu Jangger. Their distance was only about twenty meters.
“Hah?! Jangger CPU! What kind of coward would let his men be slaughtered and he run away undercover? Cheek!” He said he spit while stretching out his bow, ready to shoot.
“Bigger! So you're one of those who took out my soldiers, you have to pay for it right now?!”Mpu Jangger stared furiously at Putik Dewun. Even this old man had forgotten that he was injured. The blood from the scar that somehow could not also stop pouring out was flowing more and more profusely as Mpu Jangger got angry.
His gaze that was originally blurred due to the loss of a lot of blood, now seemed to return bright. But his old body cannot be lied to. Finally, after issuing his word of threat to Putik Dewun, Mpu Jangger's body collapsed and collapsed to the ground.
It had been seen that a hot aura of fire came out from its body shortly after its threat, but the hot aura was extinguished again as its body collapsed to the ground.
“No one comes close!!” Diah Rangi appeared later, warning the soldiers who wanted to get close to ensure his death.
Then he gave a warning to Putik Dewun to immediately release his arrow.
‘Jleb!’
The arrow stuck right at the old swordsman's neck. Above ground.
“Everything Getdown!!” Shouted Putik Dewun and Diah Rangi Simultaneously a second later.
Along with the shout, from the body of Mpu Jangger a bluish beam of fire grew bigger, then exploded in tandem with the explosion of arrows that stuck in the neck of Mpu Jangger.
