Strength Outside The Keraton Wall

The King of the River Pirates

It's still morning. Latitude and Ki Sardulo walked unusually towards the outside of the forest. Arriving at the edge of the forest, Lintang can already see, the villagers closest to the forest have been active as usual. There are those in the fields, some fields even take care of their livestock in a small river on the edge of the forest.

Lintang is worried that the residents and people who cross paths with them, are afraid to see Ki Sardulo. And it'll cause trouble.

"Ki Sardulo, I'm sorry, how about Ki Sardulo get in my ring medalam ? Let's not scare the people who meet us. We can still communicate Ki," said Lintang while stopping right at the edge of the forest.

"No problem raden," replied Ki Sardulo quickly.

Lintang immediately raised his ring-wearing left hand towards Ki Sardulo. A moment later Ki Sardulo had already disappeared into the Latitude ring.

Then Lintang darted fast while saying, "we're going to the right. Our message takes right, south."

Ki Sardulo nodded. He did not realize that his nod was invisible to Latitude. But Lintang did not need an answer, immediately he darted as fast as lightning, without all the inhabitants in the fields and fields realizing that there was a dart hovering above them.

After passing through the village of Paminggir and then passing through the rice fields and wider fields, still far away, there is a very large and crowded village.

The latitude can still see clearly within a kilometer.

In order not to cause troublesome things, Lintang decided to walk as usual as not a canuragan expert.

Lintang was very amazed by the atmosphere he encountered.

The new latitude first entered the crowded world, actually did not know the direction. Because it does not know where to go, so Latang obey wherever the feet step, the important thing is to get experience and add knowledge and insight.

Once at the village gate, Lintang was amazed by the atmosphere and circumstances.

Many large house houses are large and the distance is not far apart. The road looks wide, crowded and the majority walk. Some passed by on horseback.

Most of those who passed by and walked were ordinary residents. There are those who work as traders, there are farmers who are selling their crops, there are also people who sell services to bring goods, by carrying them, carrying them, visiting or carrying them.

In the Latitude assessment, they vary, but there is one thing in common. They are friendly. Mutual reprimand. A smile always adorns his lips.

Arriving from the back of Latitude, there was a galloping sound accompanied by a shout.

"Review...step aside !!!"

Although it was still a bit far away, but his voice was heard to where the Latitude was.

A few moments later the row of horsemen numbered five people passing Lintang.

Presumably they were soldiers of the guard of a palace magnate.

Seen, behind them a carriage drawn by two horses. Sitting in front, a sais beside him was a soldier. In the middle to the back is tightly closed by mosquito nets.

I don't know who's in that fancy train.

Behind the carriage followed about ten soldiers.

Finally the group of soldiers and the chariot passed by, with no one talking.

A little while later, the party got further and then was not seen again because it was very far away.

The latitude keeps going. He really enjoyed the atmosphere of the village. Until he didn't feel he was at the end of the village. The road that Lintang passes starts to fast again and sometimes rice fields.

Until one day, Ki Sardulo spoke to him, "Den, did you hear that voice ?"

Ki Sardulo is a demon, so can listen and feel an event even though it is still quite far away.

The latitude concentrates his sense of hearing.

Lintang directly used the science of lightening his body towards where it seemed like a battle had occurred.

Arriving at the destination, the latitude does not directly approach. He looked at it first from a distance.

And it's true. It looks like the car troupe that had passed Lintang while in the village that he passed.

The soldiers escorting the chariot appeared to be surrounded and fought with the besiegers. It seems that the train troupe has been pushed because it is outnumbered and out of position.

The men numbered about fifty and were led by a great high-body.

"Whoever are you, don't you see that we're courtiers on duty ?" shouted the soldier who had led the cavalry.

"Ha ha ha ha.....We know you're palace warriors. We don't care if you're soldiers or courtiers. It's far from the palace we're not afraid of warriors. All this time no soldier has been able to defeat us" said the leader of the encirclement.

"We just want the property you're carrying. If you want to survive, leave your chariots and horses and all the treasures you carry" continued the leader of the mob.

"You crazy ! We escort Raden Arya Wisnutama, the son of the regent of the eastern region," the warrior leader tried to negotiate.

"We don't care. Hand over your property or we force it by force" the ringleader threatened.

"Friends of friends, take their possessions forcibly. If anyone resists, kill him, "command the leader of the mob.

"Ready !!!" answer his friend simultaneously.

It finally broke out also a battle that was not balanced in strength.

Although the five mounted soldiers plus one sitting near the train sais were officers whose knowledge was higher than the soldiers, but facing the more numerous swordsmen hordes, they were defeated as well.

One officer was mobbed by five to six mobs.

Finally the army was desperate. Moreover, there were already five soldiers who were seriously injured and could not fight anymore.

"Den, it's best if the latitude goes down to help those soldiers" suggested Ki Sardulo.

"Alright Ki" replied Lintang.

The latitude somewhat approached, while picking up a few sheets of dried leaves around it.

Silent latitude paralyzed the horde members who were about to act ruthlessly to kill the soldiers who had been injured.

They don't know what's going on. Suddenly when he was about to swing his weapon to kill soldiers, one by one suddenly fell down and could not get up.

From where it stands, Latitude involves a dry leaf sheet with a deep energy coated. Towards the right hand to drop the weapons of the horde members, then towards their knees so that they suddenly fell.

Up to half the members of the barrier, they do not know what happened.

Suddenly the leader of the resistance shouted to Lintang, "Hey young man, don't you interfere in our affairs, if you still love your life."

"I didn't interfere. I just can't see the injustice and arbitrariness of will" replied Lintang.

"Know what you're about justice," the head of the barrier snapped.

"Scooking is unfair" Lintang replied again.

"Then, you will have to face me," replied the leader of the blocking horde as he approached the Latitude, and began to attack the Latitude.
