SAKYA PARAKA: THE LIBERATOR

Rakshasa Reply Attack

HOONGGGS 

The sound of the trumpet sounded after the rooster crowed in the city of Lokapatti.

Soon the townspeople came out of their homes. Without talking to the others, they headed straight to their respective posts.

During these two days, they had all been practicing about what equipment they should carry. Where they should go. What they should do. On whom they should report when there is a problem. They are all ready, without a doubt.

When the sun began to appear, the residents of Lokapatti were ready in their respective posts.

250 Soldiers stand making 5 rows of 100 meters in front of the city gate Lokapatti. The remaining 100 soldiers are in the post of the fighting machine and in the towers that are on the edge of the gate.

Sakya and Shrie are in one of the towers.

"Sister, is it true that we should let them fight?"

"Shrie, we've already talked about this. Their job is to kill the rakshasa. In this war, our job is to keep their lives as long as possible. We're going to be in the next war, but for now, this war is the first step of mankind in changing its destiny."

"Alright brother. I'm going back to my post with Aida."

Shrie got off the tower. He understands Sakya's intentions. He knows that the survival of humanity is the responsibility of all people. Carrying the burden of responsibility for all mankind, even though it is capable, will only slightly slow down the destruction and will not change any reality.

But Shrie is just a woman, she doesn't care about Sakya's calculations. He only cared about some of the residents who would be the victims today. How many people were injured or even dead? What will happen to their families?

"Vaidya Shrie, are you back?" Aida's question awakens Shrie from her daydream.

"Vaidya Aida's. Are you ready?" Shrie smiled trying to dispel her worries.

"I'll try as best I can. I'll save as much as I can."

"Oh I just hope there are no casualties in this war."

Shrie took a deep breath. His job and Sakya's Aida are to stay in Lokapatti square and save those who are injured during the war. The wounded will be taken by those who cannot fight.

While the Lokapatti children were staying, they were behind the town of Lokapatti with Shinta protected by the dukes of Sena and Bayana.

 

✤✤✤

 

The sun is starting to rise. The wind that was carrying the war drums began to sound. The sound of tens of rakshasa steps rumbled. The dust is getting closer and closer. All the residents of Lokapatti held their breath. Trying to keep the spirit from going out of the body out of fear.

The rakshasa stopped 500 meters in front of the Lokapatti fighting force. With the mace in hand, they grinned and laughed. Laugh at the efforts of men they think are futile.

Rakshasa's screams boomed as they ran forward attacking. There is no strategy setting, or division of tasks. Strategy ... Do I need a strategy? Just destroying a human city.What is difficult? We do it often and never fail.

Sakya yells giving orders while the rakshasa are in a certain position.

Dozens of fire arrows floated burning reeds and dry tree trunks that had been prepared. The fire quickly spread and grew higher.

The fire is not lit between the rakshasa and the combat soldiers, but is lit between the left and right sides of the rakshasa. Restrict them to spread. The closer the fighter lokapatti then the trajectory of the fire left and right narrowed.

The way out of the rakshasa just continue to advance towards the Lokapatti combat soldiers who are only 100 meters away and even that is only enough for 5 people rakshasa. Finally the rakshasa had to wait for those in front to come out first.

Some impatient rakshasa jumped to their right or left and encountered a trap hole that contained pointy wood inside. A pointed wood in the legs probably won't kill rakshasa. But, at least they were unable to fight for now. Their cries of pain were heard by the others, finally the others chose to wait patiently.

"Line one, fire!" Abuba gave the order when 5 rakshasa started to come out from the siege of the fire.

50 arrows shot towards the five rakshasa. 4 Rakshasa immediately fell down as several arrows stuck in vital places. While a rakshasa managed to protect his vital part.

"Line two shoot! Line one back! Line three shoot! Line two backwards ..." Abuba continued to give orders without pause. This is a war where every second counts.

50 Arrows shot back towards the surviving Rakshasa and 5 new rakshasa people came out of the fire.

While the combat soldiers led by Abuba held the rakshasa out of the fire and began to approach, Sakya had already ordered the manganik troops and the balista started shooting.

‘WUNG’ Sound of three pieces of stone weighing 25 kilos floated down in the crowd of rakshasa who were waiting in line. The weight of the stone is only 25 kilos but due to the hard and assisted gravitational force, the rakshasa trying to catch the stone must feel the bones of his hand and chest crack.3 the rakshasa died on the spot in one manganese attack. And the victims will continue to grow.

Meanwhile, 3 balista arrows as big as spears stuck precisely on 3 people rakshasa. Shooting a ballista into the middle of a rakshasa crowd does not need aiming. Shoot where and 3 rakshasa can certainly not follow the battle anymore.

In a short time dozens of rakshasa died and some of them were no longer able to fight. Aghira, the clan leader who led this attack started to gnash his teeth. The incident before his eyes was truly unexpected. Rakshasa's corpse was scattered, huge stones were flying and spears were darting rapidly. Since when do humans have the power to throw stones and spears powerfully? If left unchecked, the troops he brought would be exhausted.

Aghira quickly got closer to the trajectory of the fire. Aghira is a dwi praboditha. Ordinary flames were not too dangerous for him as long as he did not dwell in them. With his strength he kicked the reeds and the burning dry branches of the tree, making a gap between them. 

Knowing there was another way, rakshasa scattered out through a new gap. One of the rakshasa fell into the hole into a footing his friend crossed safely.

Aghira didn't stop there. He caught a flying rock and threw it towards the town of Lokapatti, hitting a building near the square and injuring the nearby residents.

Another large stone lying on his soldier's body was taken, and thrown towards the tower where the balista machine was placed.

The balista tower is destroyed. 5 Soldiers fell to the ground. One soldier was unlucky, died in a place pierced by fragments of wood balista machine.

Knowing that the attack had already entered the city, Shrie left the Lokapatti square.

"Vaidya Shrie, where are you going?"

"Vaidya Aida, I'm going near the city gate. There are many injured there and may require prompt treatment. You wait here!" answer Shrie. He knew attacks were coming, those injured might not survive being taken to the square to be treated.

"Be careful!" roman is worried about being seen on Aida's face. Their job is to wait for the injured to be taken by health workers to the square. But the war situation is not always as expected, Aida understands Shrie's intentions.

Rakshasa's counterattack is starting to come. Casualties fell and will continue to grow as the rakshasa that escaped the siege of the fire began to attack the fighting forces under the leadership of Abuba.
