Munding - Legend of the Wolf Fighter

Chapter 195 - The Leader

Aisah aka Shadow quickly left the office where she spoke to the man earlier. Only Shadow and Phantom knew about the existence of the office and the real identity of the man. He is the real leader or leader of Chaos.

Unlike Phantom who must ask permission first to meet face to face with the leader, Shadow can easily and anytime meet the leader. Not solely because of the stage of manifestation possessed by Shadow. Because of the closeness they have.

They were both people who Izrail had saved during their youth.

The real leader of Chaos is Adek Pak Yai who comes from Sulawesi and is named Sulaiman. He was the one who had met Munding and taught him about the concept of manifestation. Even Leman had also shown himself to Munding about the basic ability that distinguishes between a fighter manifestation with the previous stages.

Leman still remembers the first meeting with the man he later adopted as his own brother. The person he considered his family the closest to now.

Unlike Aisah who was still a little girl when she first met Izrail, Leman met Izrail for the first time on the battlefield.

Just like Mr. Yai, Leman is an orphan who was raised under an organization affiliated with one of the recognized religions in Indonesia. At first, he was raised like an ordinary orphan. Raised naturally and normally, until finally something that changed the course of his life happened.

That night, a group of people came to the orphanage where she grew up and did the intention to ‘recruit’ children to be the ‘fighters’ with them. And Leman was one of the children chosen to be the recruit that night.

Day after day he lived, week after week he went through, year after year continued to change, until finally, Leman managed to become the commander of the army for his herd. At that time, Leman was still a crewed wolf fighter.

And the events that shook the history of this country also happened.

1998 Years.

When in Jakarta there were reforms to overthrow the new order. When around it there is a heinous act against certain ethnicities that spread to various parts of Indonesia. Their leader decided, it was time to use the sword they had been sharpening and preparing. This is when they activate their fighters and take advantage of the chaotic state at the center to their advantage in the area.

Leman and his comrades were sent down to start the war.

Leman's first task, which has always shaken his own conscience until now, was to carry out a massacre that was not in accordance with the beliefs he had believed.

Leman began to bear disappointment and lost faith in his own flock. Losing confidence in the leader he always considered as the Father who would protect all his children and show the way of truth for those who are lost.

And the meeting happened.

One evening, in a village in the middle of nowhere in Sulawesi, Leman's army, burning and slaughtering a village, suddenly received a counterattack from a group of armed men.

But suddenly, Leman saw the figure of the man for the first time.

A man dressed in white and wearing black pants, a city-box patterned sarong tucked around his neck, a white skullcap was seen covering his head, a thin beard of which only a few strands were seen hanging from his beard.

And he smiled towards Leman and his comrades.

In the right hand of the man was unsheathed a sword that looked completely unused to slashing an enemy because there were no drops of blood there yet.

“My name is Ahmad Hambali, I came as a representative of the Muslim herd. If you're a soldier, wield your weapons! If you are not soldiers, let go of your swords! If you surrender, release your swords! Anyone who does not hold a gun in his hand will not fight against us. Anyone who still holds a weapon in hand, we will fight,” said the man slowly and firmly, because of the sudden atmosphere of silence due to his arrival, the man's slow voice could be heard to the edge of the small village that was being attacked by Leman and his troops.

Since a few days ago when Leman and his troops accepted their mission, this was the first time he had encountered someone who claimed to be an enemy. During this time, every place he and his troops attacked, the people always ran away from the ridge and the fog. Fight as much as possible and use makeshift weapons.

But.

The figure of the man who stood alone in the middle of the road and unsheathed the sword in his hand was another. Leman felt it himself. The wolf's instincts screamed and gave a sign of danger so that he immediately withdrew from the presence of the man who looked not too sturdy but sturdy.

But Leman was undaunted, he suppressed his own fear with all his might and shook off the sword in his hand to cleanse the blood that was there. Leman is a commander. On the battlefield, when a strong enemy comes, the Commander must come forward to face him so that the morale of his troops is maintained. And Leman did that.

He charged forward while dragging the sword to the right of his body with the tip of the sword forming an impregnable scratch on the surface of the asphalt road that existed in this village. Forward to his first enemy named Ahmad Hambali.

Leman could not remember the details of the fight, or how long they had been fighting, which he remembered was the ending of it all. Leman was sitting on the asphalt with a sword drawn and stuck to his neck, causing a scratch.

Leman's sword itself fell during the duel earlier. So he really just put his fate into the hands of Ahmad Hambali.

“You gave up?” ask Ahmad.

All around them, their respective forces also attacked each other and swung their swords. Leman could see it all, not a two-man squad member who died. And Leman finally nodded his head towards Ahmad and put it all to God, because he never believed that the man would actually keep his promise when he had won and had the upper hand.

And unlike Leman's conjecture, Ahmad and his army did not attack any enemy who laid their weapons to the ground in a sign of surrender. That day, Leman paid tribute to his enemies for the first time. And that's the incident that brought Leman together with his own foster brother, Izrail.

A meeting that Leman sees as a rescue and leads Leman to a new and different world.
