The Dragon God Swordsman

27. New Strategy

Cheers echoed that night after opponents Patih Purno breathed his last. They are very happy with what just happened. But not so with Aryo who thinks the death of that person is an honorable death. He tried to open his voice to close the cheers but was immediately stopped by Patih Purno.

“It's okay young master, maybe this is wrong but at least we managed to arouse the fighting spirit of our soldiers” said Patih Purno while patting Aryo's shoulder.

Aryo was sculpting, it was really hard to accept that situation. However he had to understand the state of the soldier was more important now. It was not impossible that in the future they would encounter a difficult battle.

 “Promanage a good funeral ceremony for that person!” aryo's orders to one of the soldiers.

“Good young master” replied soldier quickly.

The soldiers started moving in groups. Some take care of the wood for the funeral while others take care of the body of the person. Everything moved quickly for the job to be completed before dawn broke.

“Although young master, the funeral ceremony is ready at start” reported the soldier who was in charge of supervising the work earlier.

“Care the funeral soon!” aryo's orders are back.

The soldier nodded his head as he walked back and immediately told the others to burn the body. The fire quickly burned the lifeless body, the blaze continued to grow even able to illuminate the entire field of the rebel headquarters.

“Uncle, would if I died later there would be a funeral like this for me?” aryo asked while staring at the flames.

The old man did not immediately reply, for a moment the old man looked at Aryo's face. At this time Aryo put on a face that looks very sad, maybe at this time he remembered his wife thought the old man.

“Young master don't think strangely, I know young master misses home. We both have families waiting for our return. If it is time we go home will definitely go home, and if the time we die surely we will die” replied the man at length.

“Why does uncle look so relaxed in the face of death?” ask Aryo again.

“What comes from the ground, will return to the land instead of” replied the old man with a smile adorning his face at this time.

Aryo's heart was stunned when he heard the last words from the old man. He then closed his eyes while breathing out softly. Death is certain, everyone will experience death. Seeing the earnestness of the words of the old man made his heart tremble for a moment before then there was respect for the old man.

“Patih Purno asked to face the young master in his room” said a soldier assigned to pick up Patih Purno.

“Good, let's leave” reply Patih Purno quickly.

It did not take long Patih Purno has now arrived at the meeting room which is now filled by the higher-ups of the rebel alliance. After the presence of Patih Purno, the meeting began. The meeting was about the incident last night, they think it needs to find a way to fight people like that.

“Only one like that is already troublesome, especially if there are hundreds or even thousands of” said one of Patih who joined the alliance.

“True, our opponent is too heavy. Will we be able to fight it later?” timpal was an old warrior.

The atmosphere became a little noisy with various arguments. However it did not last long after the voice from Patih Purno came out all speechless.

“Our opponent is not a god, but a human like us also” Patih Purno said breaking up the fray.

Patih Purno's voice was slow but with the energy flow in the voice it could be heard by all guests in the meeting room. Seeing the reaction of everyone who was now silent Patih Purno spoke again while standing up so that everyone could see himself clearly.

“For black tribe business leave it to us. And for the strategy that has been prepared yesterday there will be a little change” Patih Purno said again.

“What kind of changes does Patih make?” ask Aryo to him.

Aryo thought the strategy that was prepared yesterday was already very good but hearing Patih Purno's statement just now made him a little confused. Patih Purno smiled and then began to explain his new strategy.

Everyone listened to each explanation carefully. At first they were unhappy with this new strategy, but after the explanation was completed they finally understood and understood the meaning of the strategy.
