The Dragon God Swordsman

52. The war began (8)

The laughter of Subani and Patih Purno can be heard by Balda's ministerial forces. They were astonished at such a time that his opponent could still laugh after finishing off the entire army of black tribes.

Minister Balda himself silently watched Subani and Patih Purno who were still laughing not far from his place. He understood the meaning of the laughter of his two opponents, the laughter of a pair of true friends who had passed through the bitter sweetness of the world's life.

Minister Balda mused misguidedly, his mind drifting imagining imagining his old friend who was also very close as well as the two opponents in front of him.

Longing rushes out of his heart, because his friend has gone ahead of him finally must make Minister Balda must live without finding a substitute for his friend.

"Ahhhhh... How are you guys? Do you also long for our togetherness?", minister Balda looked at the dark sky. Feelings of sadness and longing mixed into one, "Maybe soon we will meet friends" said Balda minister again with a smile adorned his face.

While he was still imagining good times with his old friend then the Patih he had saved came towards him, "Even the minister, what should we do now", The Patih asked after seeing the pensive minister Balda looking at his two laughing opponents.

Minister Balda's reflection became stalled because of the question, he then turned to Patih who was with him, "No need to delay again, attack with full force. Let fate speak for what will come after it", the words thrown by minister Balda sounded softly in Patih's ear.

Minister Balda's voice was a little raucous, because curious he secretly looked at the face of minister Balda. His face was so wistful with teary eyes, a sight that was extremely rare.

"Okay minister", Patih went straight to prepare the whole army, "Seraaanggggggggg!!!!", his shout echoed in the darkness of the night, his troops immediately advancing forward to lash out at their enemies.

Aryo along with the old man and rebel forces had just arrived at where Patih Purno and Subani were standing. While the opposing forces have now moved forward towards them quickly.

There was no doubt visible from his opponent's face, this time Aryo was sure his troops would face difficulties in the battle tonight.

"Patih...", Aryo tried to speak to Patih Purno, Patih Purno immediately responded with a sign of forward attack.

With the cue given by Patih Purno the rebel forces immediately advanced towards his opponent as well. The bloodshed tonight is now inevitable, the rebel forces led by Aryo and Adipura royal forces and Balda's ministerial-led Obstacles finally met and exchanged attacks.

Minister Balda did not stay silent to see, he then came forward with the black wolf army. While Patih Purno who saw his opponent move also did not stay still, together with Subani and Aryo they also came forward to join the battle.

Minister Balda continued to kill the rebel forces that tried to approach ya aided by the army of black wolves making them easily defeat every opponent. Similarly, the Aryo stronghold accompanied by Patih Purno and Subani is no less great in defeating their opponents.

Now their swords, shields, spears and bodies were covered in blood, not their own but the blood of their opponents who had been killed with their own hands. The battle had only lasted a dozen minutes but the sea of corpses was already dotting all over.

Aryo charged forward deeper than ever before, realizing that for too long his army would be exhausted because the enemy troops were many times more than his troops. It was only a matter of time that his army would be pushed out, so he took the initiative so that some of the enemy troops were eyeing him in order to give his troops leeway to continue fighting.

Every attack he launched easily finished off every opponent he encountered, not only relying on his sword he also occasionally took the spear he saw and threw it towards the enemy. Minister Balda who saw the action of Aryo immediately cried out loud in the middle of the war.

"Aryo Jayantaka's! I have come to give you a chance to meet your father Aryi Wajendra! Your father has long waited for his son to accompany him in hell at this time!", minister Balda's shout was so loud and echoed throughout the rebel stronghold that became the scene of war.

Aryo heard clearly the scream, which made him immediately turn his head towards the source of the sound. The names mentioned above are none other than his full name and also his father.

Jayantaka's name was given to him because his father wanted Aryo when he was an adult to become a wise person later. While the name Wajendra belongs to his father means a king, it is very fitting with the character of his father who is a great leader in his era.

Emotionally ignited because the voice contained a word of contempt towards her father, angering Aryo and moving towards the source of the sound. After that he realized the voice was sourced from the mouth of minister Balda, the brain of the attack when he was still the king of the kingdom of Adipura two years ago.

He still vividly remembered what the kingdom of Adipura had passed after he was removed from his throne. The people suffered so much from being slaves and having to work without rest without being changed.

Famine everywhere and became a great calamity after various skin diseases attacked the people who became slaves, while other people also suffered because their new ruler, King Jaka, only concerned about his personal affairs. Anyone who disagreed with his leadership, the king of Jaka did not hesitate to sentence the man to death.

Not only was it for a year on the run while amassing strength to rebel, quite a lot of terror he had gained from the troops assigned by his brother to kill him. King Jaka never calmed down if his brother did not die, he was sure his brother would muster the strength to overthrow him as the new king of the kingdom of Adipura.

That memory flashed swiftly in his mind, making him become enraged by it. Aryo knew the person who was instrumental in bringing down his throne was the help of minister Balda of the Constraint kingdom. He then stepped forward to immediately give an attack to Balda's minister.

"It is too soon a hundred years for you to defeat me!", minister Balda moved forward towards Aryo. Duel between the two is now inevitable, various attacks and moves are deployed to defeat each other.
