The exit gate looks crowded. Residents who wanted to travel one by one left the exit gate of this Hidden city. Hani and I are also the students from the academy waiting for the arrival of the noble family who wants to travel near the gate. While waiting for this noisy instructor always nagging and showing off his prowess in carrying out missions. The reason for joining was because the principal ordered him to be the supervisor on this first mission, as well as the level-up exam for us.
Our mission is to take the members of this central kingdom to the next city. Actually this is a C level mission if the journey smoothly without obstacles and will be level B or up if facing enemies whose level is high.
In a horse carriage with unique carving decorations on the outside and elegant looks there is a pentin from the empire that we will guard. Actually I don't know who we're guarding, we're not given permission to know. We were only assigned to escort it to the next destination safely, after which the mission was completed.
We leave early in the morning to reach the cypress hill in the afternoon and will spend the night there. Our trip to the destination city takes at least two days and half a night or a day overnight and half a day. It could be that we force the walk on endlessly if it is an emergency and it will take time that cannot be reckoned with if there are bandits blizzard in the way . For that there are three teams and two escort support in this operation. One on the front to ensure the road is safe. Two were in the middle flanking his chariot. Three were behind, and two more were shadow troops of unknown existence. This was the famous vicious circle formation in this central country.
The formation relied on three core forces guiding the path. Usually the core troops are not so much, at least three five-line banjar filled by level C or B magicians. What made this formation terrifying was the shadow bodyguards themselves. It is said that its ranking level is higher and its whereabouts are unknown.
Initially many thought this was just a figment, after some terrible events when the royal members were ambushed was proven. Even the latest news was not just two or three level S magicians, but five level SS magicians. From there the royal escorts were feared by bandits and robbers.
I can say I'm lucky to be in this group. Hani and I were placed in the middle of the carriage flanking. There was no sound coming from the mouth, haanya heard the clattering of horse legs and the squealing of the carriage wheel which seemed to look worn. We were all on alert until our footsteps were barely heard.
There is an important setab when escorting members of the kingdom. We are forbidden to speak to each other and only sign language is useful. The next rule anyone who starts the conversation is the enemy and finally if it crosses the reasonable limits in the move as it is arranged will also be recognized as the enemy.
"Huh, troublesome" I whispered very softly.
The afternoon. The shadows and the wood are the same length. I sensed something was strange when we were about to reach our destination. Eve the presence of the shadow army has changed. Maybe this is the tactic of this circle formation.
The longer the more the presence of top rank magicians slowly approached us. This is no ordinary presence. This is a very powerful killing intent from one, Guards? Guards in the back row why have this black killing intent? Since when?
If he noticed this escort formation little by little began to alternate people. The back row has been replaced. The instructor also disappeared. This is bad, maybe this is an ambush.
I tried to stay calm and walk like the rest of the army. If this situation worsens, then there is no other way. Fortunately, only I know. I wonder what they're gonna do with this middle barisa.
We continued walking towards the planned place, the cypress hill. There are usually royal troops who set up guard posts. The post was intended to serve the community if it needed help on the way from the Hidden city to the town of Abee. I don't think this middle kingdom is bad.
"Stop!" a female voice came from inside the car. Suddenly the whole thing stopped.
"What do you want?" the voice asked. To whom?
Or he realized something.
"Ho, Interesting" I muttered.
All speechless. There's no movement. Later then.
BLAAAR!
An attack on one of the rearguard guards. She'sdead.
"I asked again. What do you guys want?" the woman called out again.
Still the same, all quiet.
THE DASSH!
One front row head separated from his body. Pretty gruesome. He has no compassion at all. It seems.
"It's quite princess" someone with powerful magic power landed right in front of the horse carriage.
"Jaka?" said the woman.
"Do you want what?"
"Of course collect the debt" said the man named Jaka.
It seems like this started from two pairs of people who were drunk in romance. Gosh darn.
"Unsatisfied are you locking in my energy flow?" ask the princess calmly.
"I'm not satisfied" he smashed the chariot with a single blow.
All messy. The coachman uncle also bounced quite a distance. The princess was on the ground.
"Ho, so you're paralyzed, honey?" jaka tried to approach the princess. Princesses away.
"Where are you going?" Jaka strangles princess' neck.
Huh, shit. A woman as beautiful as her why should she be treated like that? Was he not afraid that his mother would be treated like that.
It's a very dangerous situation. I tried to contact the head of the academy but did not respond.
Damnit. Where's that old bangka.
I turned to Hani and signaled him to run away. I hope if Hani understands what I'm hinting at. If you have to run both of them it is very troublesome. If having to beat them isn't a problem, the issue is this bracelet. If caught it can be bad.
I nodded to Hani and went straight into action. I quickly attacked Jaka's vital point with a few simple punches so he moved away from the princess. It was then that I carried the princess and ran away.
"Damn! Arrest ******** that" exclaim Jaka.
I move quickly with the added burden. Hani has also improved greatly. He can keep up with my speed.
We're heading east. It was fortunate that Jaka's forces did not tighten this area, so we were able to escape.
Amidst the pursuit I broadened my senses. I need to find a place to hide for now. We can't keep running, sooner or later we'll get caught.
"Ah, could. Hani, northeast in the middle of the waterfall"
Hani nodded.
We turned the direction to the waterfall and went into the cave.
"May they not find us"
