My Own Path: The Red Phoenix
Ch 37 - Assault
“That's what uncle?” Claude looked at the blood-red sky not far from where they were.
Claude also felt the air turning into gripping, even though it had not before.
“It was one of the abilities of the Blood Warrior, the chairman of the Blood Skull, they were one of the group of bandits that inhabited the mysterious area within this forest”
“Well this is what I mean you should not approach them, you see for yourself no, what are the strength of these bandits”
“Hmm” Claude nodded, “What are they doing uncle, until it brings out such an ability?”
“Well like the bandits, they were probably looting a caravan, but usually the Blood Warrior never acted, but why is it different today?” Ashura asked back.
“Well why uncle asked me, I don't know what – is about them” Claude frowned, “So why uncle is still here? Uncle won't check, or help them?”
“If I go there, how about you?”
“I'm also not stupid uncle, I can hide using Shadow Lost, after all what do they expect from stealing a poor little boy like me?”
“Yes right too, then be careful – be careful I will be back” soon to hear Claude's words, Ashura immediately go and disappear among the trees.
While Claude, who had just finished his meal, did not immediately move to practice, Claude did not want to make an excessive sound that could have caught the attention of the bandits, Claude chose to hide among the – checkers while waiting for Ashura to come back.
A while later the gripping aura slowly disappeared, following with the sky starting to return to its original color.
Then Ashura came back, but there were no traces of battle all over her body, Claude guessed, Ashura just came to look, and then left after seeing the situation.
“Uncle, what happened?”
“Well as I said, they are the Bandits of the Blood Skull group but the difference is that they are not looting the caravan, all I see is the Blood Warrior who is dealing with Bear Spirit alone, while his friend – stood by to see their fight”
“After the fight was over, they rushed back to move towards their headquarters” a trace of confusion filled Ashura's face, it was clear that he did not understand what the Blood Warrior and his men were doing.
It was clear that the Blood Skull was not a group of beast hunters, but why today they were hunting the Wild Beasts, or whether they had any other plans, which Ashura did not know about.
It was the thought that weighed on Ashura, if there was a caravan attacked by the bandits, as much as possible Ashura would help, if not then Ashura could ask for help from the nearest city.
‘Well I don't need to think about it either, if indeed they attacked the caravan right in front of me, I would definitely help, otherwise let it go, why am I looking for trouble with these bandits’ Ashura is trying to remind her own mind.
“Ok, since those bandits are already on the move, you can start your practice back”
“Good uncle” Claude started to stand up, positioned his body and started doing his exercises, even though his body was very stiff, Claude tried very hard to immediately surpass his limits.

Back a few hours ago, in the Behemoth City city mansion, Richard was busy calming down his rampaging son Audrey, unwilling to return to White Lake City today.
“Dad, why did you arrive – arrived telling them to pick me up, to leave today?!! it's not that dad told me to leave for three more days, isn't it three more days it's tomorrow, since when did dad talk to me?!” Audrey crossed her arms with a sullen face standing in front of her father.
“Son, I didn't mean to lie to you, I just wanted to speed up your departure” Richard looked gently at his son Audrey.
“What did you mean to speed up my departure, did you not want to be with me anymore, what father no longer love me, therefore father immediately want me to leave” – circle tears visible at the end of Audrey's eyes.
“Nak we've talked about this before, what's the reason I told you to come back, and what's the problem that dad is facing, didn't everything you've told me, I hope you understand Richard nak” hugging Audrey's body.
“True young lady, it is not the intention of Mr. Richard to lie to you, or Mr. Richard does not love you miss, quite the contrary, all these arrangements are aimed at you, so that you are safe and secure, so that you are safe and secure, he just wants to see you immediately safe that's Miss” Baron Lim who was standing next to the room trying to help Richard.
Baron Lim was already in the city mansion early in the morning, he intended to report the information he got from the empire, but he had not yet reported, Audrey had already made a mess, the focus of Richard turned to Audrey.
“I'm sure young lady is a smart child right?, is young lady willing to listen to my advice?” Baron Lim tried to persuade Audrey.
“What?!” with a scowling expression Audrey let go of her embrace and turned to look at Baron Lim.
“Does love your dad?”
“Of course” replied Audrey quickly.
“What miss wants to burden your father?”
“Of course don't want”
“But in my opinion with a lady like this, even burdening the mind of your father, your father so can not do other work that I feel as important as you miss”
Richard sighed, “Well that's okay – what, but tomorrow you will leave with Coda and Belo” sometimes Richard can't refuse a child's request just this puppet.
“Yes dad” Audrey smiles happily.
“Thank you Baron Lim for helping me persuade him” Richard smiled “You can come out for a while son, I want to talk first with Baron Lim”
After Audrey came out, “Now you can convey what information you brought” Richard back seriously.
“Alright sir, just as I thought, the empire tells me that they are currently preoccupied with something else, yet they still consider that the Goblin threat is something dangerous, therefore the empire will send some troops to help us here”
“Given the distance between the empire and Behemoth City, the imperial party had already sent out its troops per day, they said not to wait for the official letter to come and the imperial party accelerated the departure of its soldiers, the imperial party hastily said, but still I will send his official letter”
“Thank God if the imperial side still responds to this matter, thank you Baron Lim, and I will ask for your help once again, if these troops have come, please provide accommodation for them, please, what's okay – what baron Lim”
“It has been my duty to bridge this city with the empire, hope you are calm I will take care of the imperial troops” Baron Lim nodded, “Well that's all I want to convey sir, then I resign, I want to prepare some things” Baron Lim ended his report.
“Please Baron Lim”
Baron Lim immediately got into his horse carriage, and headed home to his residence. On arrival Baron Lim immediately contacted Tan Qiang who was with Vargas and his herd.
‘Sial, my plan must be restrained by that snot child, I must prepare a confirmation for that crazy human’
“Lim, you almost killed me” heard Tan Qiang's voice across from the connected Soud Stone.

The next morning, the Behemoth city mansion was again busy like yesterday, the difference this morning there was no tantrums of a little boy named Audrey, now Audrey was sitting sweetly on the carriage.
“Belo, Coda gave my son's safety to you guys” Richard gave his last words to his subordinates.
“I will protect young lady with all my soul tuan”
“I also”
“We leave tuan”
“Ya, liver – hearts and always beware”
Then the horse carriage began to walk away from the city mansion towards the west gate which directly led to White Lake City the capital of the Mountain Sage Kingdom.
The horse-drawn carriage consisted of Audrey, Belo and two female servants, while Coda and several city soldiers escorted the horse-drawn carriage from the side and back of the entourage, some of the treasures that will be given to the government.
As the party passed through the west gate, unbeknownst to others Baron Lim was present there, clutching a Sound Stone that emitted light.
“You can move now” Baron Lim grinning then disconnecting the call.
While the horse carriage had already walked quite far from the city gate, there were some conversations within the carriage.
“Uncle Belo, what's wrong with you? Why are you so tense today?” Audrey was astonished by Belo's different attitude.
“Ha ha .. maybe your feelings are just miss, I stay like this, as usual for what I tense” said Belo while wiping the sweaty fur on his forehead.
“Iya miss, maybe it's just your feeling Miss” one of the waiters came to talk.
“No, I'm sure there's something uncle is hiding from me isn't it?” Audrey probing.
“Ah just might, uncle Belo tense because it suppresses the nausea he feels, do you never feel nauseous when traveling miss?” the other waiter tried to distract Audrey.
Not without reason belo and the servants feel tense, but because before leaving they have all been reminded that the trip this time will not go as usual, but because before leaving, but they still have to maintain the atmosphere so that Audrey feels good – is fine.
But before Audrey responded to the servant's words, the soldier outside was already shouting.
“Attack”
“We ambushed”
