My Own Path: The Red Phoenix

Ch 45 – End Assault, Start Of ...

“What are you doing, quickly wake up?” Tanhill saw Claude still lying on the ground.

“Hehe sorry uncle, my energy has not fully recovered uncle, and also the Armor I wear is very heavy so I can not lift my body”

“Hah?”

“Ehem .. ahem” Ashura cleared “Sorry master actually I have paired Mendelth Set Armor in Claude”

“Mendelth Set Armor? What is it?”

Then Ashura explained the origin, all the functions, the usefulness of the Mendelth Set Armor, the purpose of using this Armor Set, as well as what Claude felt when wearing it.

Including the whole movement of Claude who is now very slow, and heavy that burdened Claude's body.

And also Ashura advised Claude that, when wearing this Armor set Claude would not feel any aura from his enemy, but when faced with an enemy Claude should not underestimate them, it could be that Claude was killed by his own bullshit.

“Oh so because of this Armor you can't escape the previous situation?” Tanhill finally understood why Claude could be in a state of danger, not because Claude was caught, but because Claude could not move freely.

“Heheh” Claude replied with a smile only.

“Yes, the important thing is now that you are safe, but I hope that in the future you are Ashura who attaches this Armor to my nephew then you are the one who should be responsible for protecting and guarding it, as for you foolish child, stop your reckless and reckless behavior, you do not make things difficult as a result of your actions, remember you can't move around as freely as you used to,” Tanhill warned the two.

“Good tuan” Ashura received a reprimand from Tanhill.

“Good uncle” Claude also accepted it, he realized today's events happened due to his own carelessness.

“Ok, now my intention is to give this Dagger to you” Tanhill then give Cross Venom to Claude.

“Name Cross Venom, this Dagger is made from the fangs of Poison Stinger that a few days ago you managed to defeat, this Dagger is capable ..” then Tanhill tells all the uses and dangers of wearing this Dagger, which you can do, including Ashura also gave feedback to Claude to be very careful – hearts when wearing Cross Venom.

All the information and advice that Tanhill and Ashura said, Claude remembered it clearly.

“Now you try to inject a little of your life energy into this Cross Venom”

Claude obeyed his uncle's orders, then put a little Shadow Spirit into the Cross Venom, then Cross Venom immediately reacted to the blade starting to give off a green aura, but the green color now looks brighter like a blend of green with orange, unlike the deep green color that Ashura showed before.

‘As I suspected’ Ashura smiles satisfied in her heart.

“Why did the color change?” Ashura asked.

“Maybe the reaction was different from what kind of Martial was injected into it” Tanhill tried to guess the answer to Ashura.

“Ya may just” Ashura then agreed with Tanhill's remarks.

“Because I've done my part, now can you tell me back what happened here a while ago?”

“So like this sir ..” then Ashura recounted the whole incident, including the movement of the bandits from yesterday, the emergence of the head of the guard, the servant, as well as the young lady of the city lord, who was the leader of the city, and to the fight that happened.

Hearing the details of Ashura's story, Tanhill was able to guess what had actually happened.

Tanhill was convinced the Desolate servants were planning something like this but unfortunately they did not expect the whereabouts of Ashura and Claude as well as the arrival of Tanhill.

‘Well every once in a while I have to teach them a lesson, not to be rash in making a decision’ Tanhill does not feel guilty in the slightest.

“I think someone who played behind the scenes” Tanhill said flatly, obviously Tanhill will not divulge the plans of his allies, even though these Desolate servants have offended him.

“Yes I also think like that” Ashura also thought like that before then “Arghh what people think these – people, obviously a great danger lurks before us, he said, but still political clashes bring each other down with each other”

“I can't comment” sounded a curse Claude who made the two old men turn around at once to see him.

“You understand what we are talking about?”

“You understand my grumbling intent just now?”

“Not” briefly reply Claude.

- heu

I want it to feel like Tanhill and Ashura are pinching the head of this brat.

“Already, now you have enough rest no, let's find the whereabouts of the soldiers who have been attacked, maybe we can find something” Tanhill invites everyone to see the situation.

“Ya” then Ashura holds Claude to make their movement faster.

“It looks like their battle is over” arrived at Tanhill location presented by the corpses of the soldiers as well as some corpses from the bandits, the, it was clear that these soldiers were slaughtered while the soldiers could still kill some other bandits.

“I guess after they plundered the entire contents of the carriage, they immediately fled back to their headquarters” Ashura saw a trail of movement that led to the crest of the bandits.

“All we can do now is just bury these soldiers properly, then burn these bandits they don't deserve a funeral, oh yeah don't forget the corpse of the city army chief, we should also bury him properly, after which I will report all of this to the city Mansion for immediate follow-up, with just the two of us alone, obviously not going to be able to fight these bandits”

“I understand tuan”

Then Tanhill and Ashura began to bury the soldiers properly, burning the corpses of the bandits, after doing all that did not feel time was approaching night, he said, then Ashura said goodbye and returned to the city while Ashura and Claude remained in the forest.

Claude's training is far from over.

While the battle ensues Belo and Audrey continue to run relentlessly, especially Belo who still does not feel calm and safe.

“Uncle ... uncle let's take a break for a while, I'm sure you must be tired of carrying me” Audrey hit Belo's shoulder slowly.

“You do not need to worry about my condition, miss, the important thing is now we have to keep running and trying to get away from the herd of bandits, we just feel safe if we have reached the city next to”

Thanks to the intelligence and memory of Belo memorizing the road, in the afternoon they can both arrive in the next town, the Throne Bite City.

Armed with the identities of Audrey and Belo as evidenced by the identity tokens the two had, the city guards did not make things difficult at all, even the city guards themselves who drove the two to the city Mansion where the city leader lived.

Of course Audrey and Belo were warmly welcomed by the city leaders, given the close relationship the two cities have forged.

Then Belo told all the things that had happened to their entourage, heard the story of Belo the leader of the city became furious and immediately ordered his troops to check the condition of the soldiers of Belo's entourage.

“You two take it easy, and rest here, I've ordered my soldiers to check on them, let's hope there are survivors”

“Sir Lars, may I ask for your help once again, I would like to borrow Sound Stone who can contact Sir Richard at Behemoth City” Belo make his request.

“Ah was right, Richard should also be told, well this Sound Stone is directly connected to him” Lars who is the leader of Throne Bite City gives Sound Stone directly to Belo.

“Thanks tuan”

“Nothing, it is my duty to help you my allies, besides the security of this area is also included in my responsibility” Lars smiled and said goodbye, arguing there is still much work to be completed.

Belo then tried to contact Richard, before long Sound Stone was connected.

“Iya Lars, how did you get a letter from Behemoth City?”

“Sorry sir, this is with me Belo”

Hearing Belo's voice, Richard's feelings were immediately uneasy, “Belo what happened, why are you now in Throne Bite City? How about Audrey what my son good – fine?”

“Nona Audrey is good – sir, young lady is now with me in Throne Bite City mansion, as you expected we were indeed ambushed, she said, but beyond the estimates that came to ambush us was the group of Blood Skull” bandits and then Belo retold what had happened.

“I suspect two people who wear masks as part of those who intend to harm you mr” Belo concluded two people did not include members of Blood Skull.

“Then what about the other soldiers, what about Coda, are any of them coming after you?”

“Unfortunately there is no tuan”

“Alright I'll check on them, you just continue your journey” Richard made up his mind immediately.

“Yes sir, I plan that tomorrow morning we will depart in disguise as commoners, to avoid those who pursue us”

“Alright, you set it up, make sure my son is safe, I leave his safety to you Belo”

“I will try my best tuan”

Meanwhile, during the day the atmosphere in Baron Lim's residence seemed busy, they were preparing for the arrival of the imperial soldiers who were on their way.

While in his own room Lim was still calm as usual, Lim did not know that his two friends had failed and died.

Moments later a waiter came in with a cup of warm tea for Lim.

Lim who saw him grinned, “We continue to the next stage, Faceless I leave that task to you”

“I understand Mr Lim” the waiter replied.
