The Dragon God Swordsman

21. Help is coming

Rumbling sounds rang out from the distance, faintly the sound grew louder and began to be followed by thousands of figures who were currently coming closer to the rebel headquarters. They rode horses and lined up neatly with spear weapons in the left hand while the right hand held the reins of each horse. Rebel troops were stunned to see that, they just this time saw a horse troop that was so gallant and looked very stunning.

Aryo and the old man climbed the fortress at the front gate, when both arrived the horsemen had stopped and now their distance was only a few dozen meters from the fort. A gallant man advanced slowly towards the gate with his horse, when it was near he stopped and immediately looked towards Aryo now.

“Greetings, we are an army of iron horses from the kingdom of Gundala the messenger of king Gandi. I am Patih Purno the leader of this squad ready to serve young lord Aryo” said the man who introduced himself with his voice.

Now Aryo and the old man understand who they are and after knowing that they are friends finally on the orders of Aryo the gate is opened and ask that the cavalry enter the rebel headquarters.

Aryo and the old man immediately came down and intended to approach Patih Purno. When the two of them until they give greetings to each other and Aryo began to lead the way to the room that specifically serves guests.

“Please sit Patih” said Aryo after arriving in the room.

“Thank you young master” replied Patih Purno and sat down immediately.

“How did Patih get here? Is everything okay?” ask the old man after.

“Journey here is quite tiring but we managed to arrive earlier than the time we planned at the beginning” replied Patih Purno again.

The three continued to talk starting from introducing themselves to discussing the war problem they would face soon. Patih Purno listened and at the same time expressed his opinion about some elements to be used as a strategy in the war. This is very necessary because in every army must have harmony so that the plan that has been arranged will continue to be connected.

The plan that Patih Purno added made Aryo and the old man surprised because this strategy they had never thought of never even crossed their minds. Now that they felt admiration for Patih Purno, they did not expect that the person sent by the king of Gandi was a truly genius.

This is true, Patih Purno is the head of the horsemen of the kingdom of Gundala who are notoriously valiant and not afraid of opponents. This is based on his mentality which is honed from childhood as a soldier and a true warrior who will not run from any fight. And the more amazing thing is that Patih Purno himself is a confidant of king Gandi in terms of strategy in war. Thanks to the kingdom of Gundala managed to defend their position from various threats of small and large kingdoms even they had faced with the kingdom of Obstacles that ended in a draw.

“It is my obligation young master to the mandate of our king” replied Patih Purno.

“Young master it is time to rest, discussion can we continue again. Maybe Patih Purno needs a break” said old man did not miss.

Aryo nodded his head in understanding and immediately led Patih Purno to the room he had prepared for him. The three started to go out and head for the room that would be used for rest. While walking Patih Purno observed the situation at the headquarters, and after a while finally they reached the room.

“Please enter to rest Patih” said the old man to Patih Purno.

“Thank you for the hospitality” Patih Purno said briefly.

“If there are things that are needed no need to hesitate, Patih can contact us through the soldiers who guard here” said Aryo added.

“Thank you young master” reply Patih Purno back.

When Patih Purno had entered Aryo and the old man now turned around and left the room. They did not know that while walking towards the room the view of Patih Purno was focused on one room that was guarded so tightly by the soldiers. Patih Purno did not immediately rest, the room guarded by the soldier was so vulnerable and raised a big question mark. He intends to ask Aryo but he prefers to shut up first and ask when the time is right.

“I was so amazed by the knowledge of Patih Purno uncle” said Aryo with a face so carefree.

Naturally his face is currently so excited, because before when Aryo and the old man planned a strategy in the war there are obstacles that make them difficult in finding a way out. But when Patih Purno gives an opinion the problem can really be solved easily.

“True young master, Patih Purno is really a smart person. With his arrival our troops can get stronger both in mental and insight” replied the old man while looking at the sky.

“I also hope like that uncle” reply Aryo and do the same with old man.
