Rajawali Sakti Swordsman

The Snake River Eps. 02 Bag. 1

a tall, stout white horse ran like lightning down the riverbank. The shape of the river is winding, as if moving like a dragon snake down the slopes and hills around it. Because the shape is similar to a dragon, the river is called a snake river. The horse was ridden by a beautiful woman in blue clothes. His face was soaked with sweat. A sword was on his back.

He is Saka Lintang, the adopted son of Geti Ireng, the leader of the Skull Banner gang. The abandonment of the Skull Valley, after a young swordsman nicknamed Swordsman Rajawali Sakti ransacked his party, Panji Skull.

"Hooops...!" Saka Lintang pulled the reins of his horse tightly. The white horse neighed and stopped. With light and agile movements, Saka Lintang jumped off his horse. When his feet reached the ground, immediately set his feet until his body bounces into the air and perch on a tree that is high enough.

Saka Lintang perched on a tree branch, while his eyes watched the upper part of the river. His lips smiled as a large boat with a wide screen began to appear. At the end of the sail pole, fluttered a sheet of bergamhar flag of jasmine flowers circled in chains. From the emblem of the flag image, it can be ascertained that the yacht belongs to a rich merchant from the Duchy of Balungan. A small Duchy in the Eastern region of Singasari kingdom which is quite prosperous.

"Suiit...!" Saka Lintang whistled loudly which was accompanied by deep energy. Hearing the whistles that echoed, simultaneously from the thickets of the riverbank bushes sprung four medium-sized boats, paddled by several people. Saka Lintang immediately plunged accompanied by the movement of salto several times, and perched right on the back of his horse.

The girl then jerked the reins of her horse, then drove towards the closer gerombalan boat. When his pitch-blue boat had pulled over, Saka Lintang pulled the horse harness, and without thinking much he immediately jumped into the air. The boat that was waiting for him received the body of Saka Lintang who perched in the middle of it.

"Come, hurry! Surround that yacht!" yell Saka Lintang.

Six burly men immediately paddled the oars. The boat also rushed towards the large sailing ship. Three other boats that were deep blue also moved to attack. While on a large sailing ship it is busy. Some people were ready with arrows pointing at the Saka Lintang horde.

"Awas, arrows!" shouted Saka Lintang when he saw the arrows sliding down.

Saka Lintang also drew his sword. Quickly the sword had swirled around like a propeller. Those fast-moving arrows falling out were instantly swept away by the sword. It is like an umbrella that protects against rain. Four Saka Lintang boats are getting closer to the sailing ship.

While the arrows continue to glide in search of prey. But Saka Lintang's men easily throw it out. Saka Lintang smiled at the success of his men.

"GROAN...!" shouted Saka Lintang sonorous.

Hearing the cue simultaneously Saka Lintang's men in deep blue uniforms jumped onto the yacht. Their movements are very light and fast. Obviously they are not just people. On average they have silat science is quite high.

The fight is now on a sailing ship. Saka Lintang rages like a wounded bull. The bodies began to collapse blood-soaked following the sound of screams from the sword of Saka Lintang. Indeed the people on board were no match for Saka Lintang and his men.

Many opponents have fallen. Some opponents even saved themselves by plunging into the river. And indeed, Saka Lintang and his army managed to control the sailing ship. Put his sword in the sheath on his back. His eyes were keenly watching around the deck of the ship that was filled with blood.

"Dump all the bodies into the river!" the Saka Lintang Order.

Saka Lintang's men, numbering about twenty, immediately did his command. Dragged and thrown whole bodies into the river. In a flash the surface of the river had changed its color to red by blood.

A well-built man with a face overgrown with mines approached Saka Lintang. A large machete hung on his waist. Bend his body slightly in front of Saka Lintang who stood haughty. Both of his hands were above his waist.

"What's up, Codet?" tanya Saka Lintang flat.

"Hamba found a chest containing gold and silver jewelry, Princess," said the man called Codet Indeed on his right cheek there is a long stroke so that it adds horror to his face.

"Good, move all valuables onto our boat!" the Saka Lintang Order.

"Dam! Lift up all that is precious!" shouted Codet loudly. The rush happens again. "Mr Princess wants to take a look?" said Codet while bowing again.

Saka Lintang did not reply. His feet swaggered past the tough, rough man. The codet followed from behind. This yacht is not very big. Only briefly Saka Lintang has traced the parts of the ship. He was very impressed when he got into a booth on the ship. The room was indeed quite beautiful, like a dispute of a noble.

Saka Lintang surmised, this yacht must belong to a wealthy noble. It was impossible for the Duchy to have such a beautiful ship. But why does the flag of the ship show belonging to the merchant Gantar of Balungan Duchy? Or perhaps this ship had been sold by the merchant to the royal nobility?

"ah! Stupid timing. Why should it be cloned? The important thing is I love this ship!" grunts Saka Lintang in heart. "Doodle!" call Saka Lintang.

"Hamba, Princess," replied Codet, bowing.

"Let down the flag of the ship, replace it with our flag!" the Saka Lintang Order.

"Hamba is ready to execute the command."

"Then this ship, take it home!"

The codet passed after previously saluting Saka Lintang stepped into the booth back. His mouth was unceasingly amazed. In this room, Saka Lintang felt like a princess of the king. Or at least a noble daughter. Dropped his body onto a bed layered with soft silk cloth. It's really comfortable to be in this bed.

Saka Lintang smiled to himself. As long as the poor cross over this snake river, only now he got an awesome sailing ship. It was a pity that this ship had to be burned as it had been. He wanted to own this ship. With this ship he could more freely become the ruler of the Snake river.

"Ha ha ha.., I am the queen of this Snake river! The serpent river....Ha ha ha...!"

Saka Lintang laughed while shouting like a gla person. Saka Lintang danced around the ship room. The laughter has not stopped. A table is made of marble. His eyes looked at the wine jar.

"Hem, arak made in the village of Cacah. What a high taste," muttered Saka Lintang while pouring wine into a silver glass.

Wet her throat by wine. His head nodded a few times. The Cacah village wine has indeed been famous for its enjoyment. This wine was indeed the choice of the nobility. The price is only paid by the rich. Without notice, his silver glass had been empty. He had dipped the wine. Saka Lintang turned to the door when knocked from outside.

"Lake in!" snapped Saka Lintang because he was disturbed by his pleasure. He sat in a carved chair beside the marble table.

The codet appeared after the door opened. He bowed slightly in respect.

"What else is it?" tanya Saka Lintang again put on a haughty attitude.

"Hamba found a woman hiding behind a pile of crates" said Codet.

"Hem, who is he?" tanya Saka Lintang frowned.

Codet snapped his finger. Two men flank a young woman about seventeen years old. Beautiful and yellow skin. His clothes are of fine silk. The jewelry is all from gold. His face held a deep fear.

Saka Lintang gestured for his men to come out. Codet closed the door again. Saka Lintang again observed the young lady. His face was pale and his body was trembling.

"Who are you?" tanya Saka Lintang's.

The young woman did not answer. Trying to raise his head slowly. When his eyes fell on Saka Lintang, his body immediately twitched, His fear grew even more.

"You heard my question, right? Who're you?" saka Lintang snort began to get upset because the woman was silent.

"I.., I am Intan Kemuning," the young woman stuttered, "I am the princess of Galung kingdom."

"Oh, you're a patih's daughter? It shouldn't be the daughter of a royal rat like a rat getting thumped so!"

"Please set me free, I promise I won't say anything to my father" whined Intan Kemuning.

"Ha ha ha...!" Saka Lintang laughed.

Intan Kemuning began to sob. He was very sorry to be on this ship. His parents have banned. Intan Kemuning has been persuaded to go home together just by road. But Intan Kemuning wants to enjoy a trip through the Snake river with the ship his father just bought for a cruise.

Not expected at all, the hordes of pirates scuttle the ship. His bodyguards numbering no less than thirty people were all killed. While the crew of his ship to find safety by plunging the river. Intan Kemuning, who lives daily in the wall of a hermitage, can do nothing. He never studied silat. So it was only natural that he was so frightened to see the pirates raging on his ship.

********************

Luxury ship continues to go down the river Snake accompanied by four boats hordes. Each boat contained valuables and was escorted by four men. While in a luxurious boating room, Saka Lintang was lying on her stomach with her back open. The open back was delicious after Intan Kemuning massage it.

He was forced to follow the orders of Saka Lintang who became the leader of the Snake river pirates. The jewelry attached to his body had also been removed, Intan Kemuning could only accept the fate of being the pirate's head slave.

"Your massage is good too. Who taught you?" tanya Saka Lintang's.

"Aunt Emban. He said, let the husband feel at home, the wife must be smart to massage," said Intan Kemuning slowly.

Saka Lintang turned around and tidied his clothes back up. His eyes sharply looked at the bowed face of Intan Kemuning. Saka Lintang who lived from being raised in a harsh environment, was very surprised to hear the words of Intan Kemuning. In the dictionary of his life, there is no term women should submit to men.

"You said earlier that you're a heathen. Have you never studied kanuragan?" tanya Saka Lintang's.

"No, Dad won't let me learn the military sciences. She wanted me to be a true noblewoman," plainly Intan Kemuning's reply.

"What good? You'll be colonized by men, you know!" Saka Lintang so heartbroken. He does not accept his people to be the months of men.

"I can't go against Father's will."

Intan Kemuning jumped in shock. His body shivered in fear.

"They won't bother you! On condition, you must follow my words!" saka Lintang.

There is no other choice for Intan Kemuning except to support Saka Lintang's will. His fate was now in the hands of this pirate leader. He thought, a little defiant could-be dead silly! Or even used as a gratifier for the lust of Saka Lintang's men...? Intan Kemuning could not imagine it.

"I live in a rough and brutal male environment. But they all bow to my orders! Dare to resist and insolent. Life stakes!" saka Lintang.

"You're a pirate leader, but why are you good to me?" tanya Intan Kemuning did not understand the attitude of Saka Lintang.

Saka Lintang laughed out loud. His ears felt pierced, he was considered good. His life is violent. His hands were always covered in blood. Why do some people still say they are good? Wasn't his hearing wrong? Is there still goodness in his heart? He himself did not know why suddenly so pity to see Intan Kemuning. Especially after hearing his innocent words.

Saka Lintang felt as if he was the one being trampled by men after hearing the journey of Intan Kemuning's life. His heart broke and he immediately wanted to make Intan Kemuning a strong woman like himself. Saka Lintang rose from his bed. His feet were approaching the table. The wine jar is poured into two silver glasses One glass is thrust on the Kemuning Intan, another glass for him.

"I don't usually drink wine" refused Intan Kemuning.

"To be my follower, you must be able to drink wine!" forcibly Saka Lintang.

Doubt Intan Kemuning received a glass of wine that was offered to him. His hands were shaking holding the glass. For all his life, he had never drank wine! Just smell it, his head feels dizzy.

"Come, drink!" force Saka Lintang again.

Intan Kemuning closed his eyes. Holding his breath, he drank the wine a little. Saka Lintang smiled at the way Intan Kemuning drank wine. Suddenly Intan Kemuning coughed and snapped a few times. His face was red and his eyes were watering. Saka Lintang laughed even more.

"I'm sorry, I can't" Intan Kemuning said after coughing.

"For a long time you will get used to it" said Saka Lintang Kalem.

"But...."

"In my palace, everyone drinks wine! No water to drink, unless you can cook it yourself!" cut Saka Lintang.

Intan Kemuning was silent. Just setting foot in the kitchen never, let alone cooking. His heart could only complain and regret itself. Why live with completely foreign people and environments? Intan Kemuning could not imagine if he could live in this way. Saka Lintang turned to the door after being knocked from outside. Intan Kemuning also looked towards the door.

"Lake in!" yell Saka Lintang.

Codet. "What's wrong?" tanya Saka Lintang's.

"Now the docking ship, Princess," iapor Codet.

"Hm, let it be. Me and Intan stay here You guys clean up all the stuff."

"Servant, Princess."

"Wait!" prevent Saka Lintang seeing Codet will turn around. Codet bent his body again. "Tell all the members, if anyone dares to disturb Intan Kemuning, will deal with me! He's my adopted brother now!" saka Lintang hard.

"Hamba, Princess," Codet bowed respectfully. His heart was a little doubtful.

"Go! Perform your duties!"

Codet bowed again, then turned the door of the room back tightly closed. Saka Lintang looked at Intan Kemuning who was still sitting on the edge of the bed.

"You see, the man was just a rough shape. His head was small," Saka Lintang flicked his finger.

Intan Kemuning just gulped. He was always horrified to see the appearance of a violent and cruel man. He was not sure if it was capable like Saka Lintang. From here Intan Kemuning began to sympathize with women whose age was not far from him. Saka Lintang, young, beautiful, but able to rule and rule men with rough and cruel appearance.

Intan Kemuning is plain, it is easy to fall in sympathy with the attitude of Saka Lintang. Although he had seen how Saka Lintang brutally slaughtered the Duchy guards. But the shadow of cruelty on the face of Saka Lintang increasingly disappeared in the view of Intan Kemuning. She only saw a tenderness and kindness in Saka Lintang as a strong woman.

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

A week is not enough for Intan Kemuning to adjust to the environment of the pirates. All around him except Saka Lintang, only men with rough and sinister faces. And during that week Saka Lintang has provided the basics of canuragan science. Pretty hard exercise given. Almost Intan Kemuning can not live it.

Since then, Saka Lintang never again participated in robbing ships passing in the Snake river. The leader of the pirates is entrusted to Codet. The result did not disappoint. Codet always comes home with results.

"You're not out, Codet?" tanya Saka Lintang saw Codet was lazing.

"Today no ships passed, Princess. They were afraid of the Snake River Angel!" sahut Codet's.

"You're not making fun of me, Codet?"

"Where dare I make fun of the Princess? The head of the servant may be separated from the body."

"It's good that you know!"

Codet glanced at Intan Kemuning who was sitting on the bench under the tree. It's a little far away. A shabby black-coated book was in his hands.

"Sorry, Princess. Is the Princess not wrong to make her a sister?" timid Codet spoke while his thumb was directed at Intan Kemuning.

"You mean.... Intan?" answer Saka Lintang.

"True, she's a patih princess. It's dangerous for us if...."

"Enough!" sentak Saka Lintang.

"You know what the consequences are against my will?"

"Hamba, Princess," Codet quickly saluted.

"You believe in being my deputy. Not to set me up! Understand?!"

"Hamba understands" said Codet.

"Now go! And don't try to tease Intan Kemuning!"

Codet bowed and left. His eyes still had a glance at Intan Kemuning. Codet believes that the book contains the basics of bare-handed punch science and deep exertion exercises. It is feared that Intan Kemuning will become a thorn in the flesh! Codet himself used to be a begal before being defeated by Saka Lintang. Then he promised to always be loyal and serve the girl.

Ten of his men were also in this horde. And now the number of this horde was no less than thirty people. They are all former begal who used to roam for prey in the forests or encroach on villages. Such a life is not foreign to them. But it was only this time that they were submissive by a woman!

Codet approached three of his friends who were sitting in a circle facing a roasted deer. The fragrant smell pokes the nose and arouses the taste buds.

"You come with me" said Codet, picking up a piece of venison.

"Where, Det?" ask one of the.

"To the village" replied Codet.

"What's it going to the village for?" ask the others.

"Search entertainment!"

The three men laughed for a moment. They know that Codet is after Intan Kemuning, but is afraid of Saka Lintang. As an impingement of his lust, he often went to nearby villages. Codet just grumbled while imagining the face of Intan Kemuning. Codet stepped away. The three friends followed while laughing.

There is no one who is not interested in Intan Kemuning. All the men in that place must have fantasized to be able to enjoy the sincerity of his body. But just fantasizing. Not more. They were frightened by the rules given by Saka Lintang. Intan Kemuning is always under the protection of Saka Lintang.

This is what always bothered Codet's mind. He thought, because Intan Kemuning daughter of a patih, of course the Duchy will not be silent. Especially if Intan Kemuning later betrayed. This obviously complicates them. Codet lamented his leader who was unaware of the possibility that it would be fatal!
