The five men observed the situation around Maung Fortress with clairvoyance. The guard at the natural fortress is now made very tight. Some Pantera men stood guard, even in the courtyard of the fort.
Nuzlan took a breath. "Guardment is getting tighter." he growled. "We can't break through..."
Do Quo manggut-mangut for a moment and then pointed to five Pantera people who went back and forth in the courtyard of the castle holding macuahuitl. "We can knock them out secretly..." The man from Daipeh then pointed at a Pantera standing at the castle. "We have to knock him out before we attack those five guards."
"How is it?" ask Havard.
Do Quo looked at Selena. "Land be the guard at the stake.take aim at a place not easily found by the enemy." asked the man.
"Good Uncle.." replied Selena then tiptoed leaving their hiding place.
Do Quo looked at Nagini and Havard. "We sneak behind the reef, ambush them from behind, while Nuzlan acts as a diversion to let them off guard. Do it!!" yells.
The four of them nodded then each broke away according to the plan they made.
Nuzlan suddenly jumped up and stood in front of the five guards who were going back and forth.
"Hello man!!! We'll see you again!!!" exclaimed Nuzlan stood clasping his spear with a face that spread a smile.
"That's Nuzlan!!!" call one of the guards. "He was about to save Sultan Yazid." the guard stared at the other guard standing in the tower. "Hey, ring the bell!!!" yells.
SWINGGGS.... JEREB!!! AAAAKH...
The courtyard guard's call was not made by the tower guard. A single arrow that Selena slid through her throat, causing the guard to flinch and fall into the abyss.
Not yet had the other guards exclaimed in shock, from the darkness of the reef, jumping three shadows ambushing the five guards.
Nagini swung her sword slashing at the two guards, while Havard stabbed the back of the third guard. Do Quo ambushed the fourth guard and broke his neck. Nuzlan advanced to attack the fifth guard.
While Nuzlan was busy fighting with the fifth guard, Do Quo stared at the fortress tower and looked at Havard.
"Havard! You remember how we both broke through the Enishi's fortified fence?!" he cried with spirit.
Havard instantly appeared his spirit and nodded. "We're doing it again!" his reply.
The man ran away for a moment to take a swing. Do Quo stood on the side of the ravine with his hands tied to each other's lower abdomen.
With a single breath, Havard darted swiftly towards Do Quo. The young man then jumped right into the palm of Do Quo's hand that was attributed to each other.
HEYYAHOO!!!!
Do Quo swung both hands up like a spring that threw Havard's body lightly into the air. Selena stared in amazement at Havard who floated lightly in the air like an eagle.
The young man landed on top of the tower well then looked for the mine used to lower the bridge.
Shortly after, the bridge was taken down. Nuzlan manages to kill the fifth guard and Selena joins them. The four entered the fort.
It turned out that there had been greeted by a group of axe-armed pantera. Nuzlan and Nagini went ahead and rampaged to slash at any approaching pantera. Do Quo was found to finish off the rest that had not been cut down by his two friends. Selena herself stood vigilantly aiming at anyone from the panther who escaped the attack of the three brave men.
Havard rejoined after finishing off every panther guarding the staircase leading to the grand hall at the entrance of the fort.
They walked down the aisles of the fort based on Nuzlan's guide who knew the region well. On the way it had been how many men who died were cut down by the weapons of the three men.
"Check all the prisons!!!" nuzlan.
Havard and Do Quo nodded then headed to some of the door-covered niches used to hold captives. The two men looked at Nuzlan and shook their heads indicating that the person they were looking for was not there.
"Everything is empty" said Do Quo.
Nuzlan. "Where did they hide His Majesty?"
...****************...
In a large room, a man sits on his knees. Both hands are tied behind his back.
While in front of him, sitting on a large chair, a panther more sturdy than the other, leaning his hand on a macuahuitl that was half the length of his body and was fitted with serrated obsidian stones.
The one who sat on his knees was none other than Sultan Yazid al-Bustami, who was kidnapped by a herd of traitorous troops and taken to Maung Fort. The plan, Sultan Yazid will be taken to Ur-Balam, directly facing King Saul at Tarsia Palace.
"What do you want from me?" search Sultan Yazid closely. "Why am I being held here?"
Tigris, the king of the panthera leaned his body slightly forward. His two sharp eyes looked at Sultan Yazid al-Bustami.
"Should I tell you?" angled.
"At least, I should know!" tugut Sultan Yazid's. "Is this the plan of the Rotcshild traitor?!"
Tigris chuckles. "Who else?"
Sultan Yazid grunts. "You dare to cooperate with the Tarsia Palace... Have you forgotten that your ancestors once swore allegiance to my ancestors, never going to seek trouble with the Bustamian Sultanate?!" reveal the man.
Tigris kneads his chins. "Hmmm...is that it?" he muttered as if remembering something and then laughed.
"It looks like the pact is no longer in effect, Yazid!" yelled Tigris while upholding his body. "I, not my ancestor." he then stood up and grabbed the macuahuitl that was leaning against his chair.
"King Saul at Tarsia's Palace put forward a more favorable pact." said Tigris. "If the Kingdom of Yahuda succeeds in subduing Tel-Qahira, then I will be given half of the territory in the south. I will be the chief servant of Tarsia Palace..." The king of the panthera then laughed out loud expanding his hand. "Isn't that a profitable thing?"
"But you are no longer free beings." said Sultan Yazid. "You've been colonized by them! You don't realize that?!"
"For me it doesn't matter!" elaq Tigris.
"What about your people?!" the Ungkit Sultan Yazid.
"They will follow me, whether they like it or not" Tigris said steadily.
"False decisions, Tigris!" serami Sultan Yazid's.
"That's politics, Yazid!" toilet Tigris. "Even the Rotcshild that was on your side crossed over to the enemy for a purpose that only he knew for himself." - taunted the pantera.
"How about I give you access." Sultan Yazid bargained. "Any scholar among you can be an honorary member of Bait Al-Hikmah? The degree of your people will be lifted and those who belittle you will not dare anymore."
"It's too late, Yazid" Tigris said with a grim grin. "When we were desperate, King Saul offered his help. If you will see, there are many demihumans from our nation who are now honorable residents of Ur-Balam."
"It's all fake!" serami Sultan Yazid's. "They're using you!"
"He won't be picked up by anyone!" a voice that made the Tigris turn to a door and growled furiously.
"Nuzlan!!!" snarl.
The owner of the voice was Nuzlan. The man appeared with a spear, and four others appeared there.
"You dare to enter the Aslarn Hall!!!" tigris exclaimed furiously. Suddenly he roared loudly. His voice moved the room.
Not long after that appeared again a troupe armed with axes. They simultaneously shielded the King of the panthers.
"Please Your Majesty Sultan!" nuzlan exclaimed half-whispered to Nagini and Selena.
"Kill them!!!" yelled Tigris furiously.
Instantly, the panther attacked the five people. They split rations. Havard and Do Quo served the troupe that besieged them, while Selena and Nagini immediately sat beside Sultan Yazid to secure it.
Tigris growled again seeing Selena unbinding the man. He wants to attack. Nagini is ready to welcome the king of the panthera.
But the Tigris's steps stopped when Nuzlan stood before him. The man held up his spear.
"I'm your opponent, Tigris!" Nuzlan. "We're gonna finish our pending business."
The Tigris roared furiously and advanced to swing the macuahuitl towards Nuzlan. Quickly the man slapped his spear shaft onto the mace weapon held by the Tigris. Both of them fought back by exerting all their abilities.
While Do Quo and Havard are not too difficult to overcome the siege of the pantera. They were mostly just a bunch of stupid bar-bar creatures. They attack without heeding strategy. They advanced in groups making the two brave men managed to conquer most of them.
The battle had already reached the point of victory on Nuzlan's side. Like the panthers in general, the Tigris are not good fighters. The only advantage is physical strength that is above the average human. But Nuzlan can cleverly defeat the King of the panthers.
A puncture in the stomach made the Tigris have to give up a piece of his life by force. Nuzlan let out a sigh of relief for successfully killing the Tigris.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?" nuzlan.
Sultan Yazid smiled and shook his head. Nuzlan smiled and stepped closer to his lord.
SERRR.... HEH????
Suddenly a series of strong winds stormed Nuzlan shocked and then put the horses survive and cross the spear in his chest. Eve blew hard and managed to throw Selena who did not have time to prepare. Nagini managed to mount the horses, but the wind thrust managed to make it dragged backward a few meters from where Sultan Yazid sat on his knees.
All the pantera that fight against Do Quo and Havard are also scattered. The two warriors neutralized the force of the wind impulse by kneeling down.
After the wind passed, suddenly there was a man wearing clothes wrapped in maroon toga. Her hood covered her head and disguised her face which was also protected with a veil.
Nuzlan knew that guy well. He snaps. "Lord Rotcshild, traitor of the country!!!" yells.
"It turns out you've all gathered here..that's great!" he said with pleasure.
Nuzlan furrowed his brows. "What do you mean you have His Majesty the Sultan here?!"
"For a great plan." replied Lord Rotcshild. "But I won't share it with you..."
Nuzlan grunting. "It's not that easy." he exclaimed as he charged forward.
Lord Rotcshild snorted exasperatedly and then shook off the toga that covered her hands. From there, a great sword glowed.
Nagini was shocked. "Little Pole!" he then looked at Lord Rotcshild. "How can it be with you?!"
There was no reply given, for the gourmet man threw the radiant sword into Nuzlan's body.
JEREB!!! UOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...
"Nuzlan!!!" pekik Havard with a thump.
Nuzlan grinned withstanding the pain while gripping the veiled man's toga.
"Kaaaauuu.." - furious.
Lord Rotcshild snorted again. He once again hit Nuzlan's body.
JEREB!!! URGG...
A snoring sound came out from Nuzlan's dying mouth. There was a laugh of the man. Nuzlan, dying, grabbed the man's veil and tore it apart.
Instantly they were surprised, except for Sultan Yazid, when they realized who was behind the veil.
"Sinhalas!!!!" havard was even worse.
"real... Lord Rotcshild. is. you.." growled Nuzlan.
"Goodbye, my friend!" sinhala said while pulling the Sky Pole sword from Nuzlan's body. The man slid to the floor and remained motionless there.
Had not had time to act, Sinhalese directed his palm that opened towards Sultan Yazid.
"O Mustika Soul! Come outside!!!" he yelled with a snarl.
A moment later, Sultan Yazid's body glowed. The man screamed in pain as a wound appeared on his right chest, widening for longer. From inside the man's chest came an object like a heart-shaped jade stone.
Sultan Yazid fainted when the object came out of his body and floated towards Sinhalese and then fell into the hands of the man.
"I've got the Soul Mustika.." she said with a happy smile.
"Sinhalaaaa!!!!" havard shouted loudly, got up and scattered towards Sinhalese while thrusting his sword.
Sinhala again gave a short snort and shook his hand. Suddenly the toga and the clothes he was wearing opened and formed a curtain that blocked the snow-white-haired man's body.
Nodachi Kanesada rained down on the clothes. But not about the people behind him, because Sinhalese was not there. The man escaped using the fluttering toga.
Not how long the room shook. The longer the harder. Do Quo looked up at the small rocks falling onto the floor.
"This fortress is about to be destroyed!!!" yells. "Let's get out of this place!"
Selena was guided by Nagini while Havard carried Nuzlan's body and Do Quo carried the unconscious Sultan Yazid. The four of them rushed out of the place.
When they arrived at the edge of the ravine across the natural fortress, Maung Fort slowly collapsed down and disappeared in a thick fog of sulfur that filled the craters of the coral mountains. []
