The Fate of Adipura Kingdom

30. Help Arrives II

The atmosphere of the meeting in an instant became silent as one of the soldiers standing guard in front rushed in. He reported that thousands of heavily armed soldiers were heading to their base. Aryo who heard the report then closed the meeting and immediately went to the gate of their headquarters.

Aryo was not alone but accompanied by a gentleman and Patih Purno, they walked together towards the gate of the rebel headquarters. It didn't take long for the three of them to now be outside the gate of their headquarters.

When they arrived from afar, they saw thousands of armed soldiers in yellow clothes. Not only that there were dozens of horses pulling a sizable wagon behind him. The wagons were heavily guarded by soldiers who appeared to be the top brass of the yellow-clad army.

But not only that in front of him again was a group of people dressed in all red with cloth wrapped around his waist. They stood in front of the other soldiers while shaking their waists with fierce expressions staring forward.

“Benggawan kingdom team!”, Patih Purno is open for sound.

“I've seen royal warrior Benggawan. But the people in front of it who is Patih?”, asked Aryo out of curiosity.

Patih Purno turned his head towards Aryo, “Have the young master heard the iron fist?”, Patih Purno asked back.

“I just heard it this time Patih. Was the paddle previously famous?”, Aryo kept asking out of curiosity.

“Just young master doesn't know, this store is indeed closed and only open to their people. They are indigenous people in the royal land of Benggawan, they are also one of the plots that support the kingdom of Benggawan standing to this day. I suggest young master pasuka never look for trouble with those people”, Patih Purno explains everything he knows.

Instead of understanding Aryo was even again made curious by the explanation of Patih Purno just now. What makes it to say never look for trouble with those people. Seeing the look on his young master's face seemed confused, the old man began to speak up to melt the atmosphere.

“Let's meet our guests, it's not good to make them stand waiting”, invite the old man.

“Good uncle”, Aryo replied briefly.

Now they stepped towards the place where the people were standing. From far away the faces of the pasuka in red clothes showed quite a fierceness that made the swordsmen at the bottom level will shudder in horror when looking at their eyes.

Aryo became increasingly curious about the people he had just met this time, as the three of them got closer unceremoniously Patih Purno came forward and launched a blow attack on a man who stood at the very front among the men.

The one who was attacked welcomed the arrival of the attack empty-handed as well. The exchange of attacks made anyone would be amazed by every move used by Patih Purno's opponent. With the resounding hand movements and nimble foot movements the person dodged while replying to Patih Purno's attack quickly.

“It's nice to meet you old friend!”, said Patih Purno still in an attacking position.

“It is better to prepare to lose again!”, replied the person while replying to Patih Purno's attack.

The two continued to exchange attacks that were originally using hands slowly using feet. The battle attracted the attention of rebel forces and troops behind the man who is the opponent of Patih Purno now.

The initially balanced fight is now starting to be one-sided and Patih Purno is slowly starting to be cornered. This was because empty-handed silat was not the skill of Patih Purno while his opponent was now the greatest bare-handed silat expert he had known all his life.

After that speech suddenly the movement of opponents Patih Purno began to grow flexible, agile and agile. He did not linger too much in exchanging kicks or punches. But now trying to enter and lock the movement of his opponent.

Patih Purno was getting desperate with his opponent's movements, not only agile but every punch directed at him made his hand seem to collide with iron. He tried to dodge as much as possible but his opponent's attacks kept coming overwhelmed him.

The pain of the impact of his hand that pocketed the hands and feet of his opponent made Patih Purno continue to be cornered. And finally without taking a long time now Patih Purno's movement was successfully locked by his opponent so that he could not move in the slightest.

“I surrender... I gave up..!!!”, screeched Patih Purno when his body was already locked by his opponent.

“Now the result is a draw isn't it?”, reply the person while laughing loudly.

All those who had seen Patih Purno's prowess in fighting one of the black tribesmen were stunned by the events just now. The person who was Patih Purno's opponent managed to make Patih Purno unable to move at this moment.

Patih Purno has tried to rid himself of the lockdown, but the more he rebels the stronger the lockdown from his opponent. He had no other choice but to give up and admit defeat for the fight between them just now.

It was truly a shocking thing for the soldiers who were watching their action even Aryo and the old man did not blink a look at it. Finally Aryo became aware of the meaning of the words from Patih Purno earlier.

After the fight was over Aryo and the old man approached towards Patih Purno standing up. When the two reached the opponent Patih Purno immediately put up the horses prepared that the two people who came intended to attack him as well. Patih Purno who saw that hurriedly mediated and directly explained who was coming towards them.

“Ahhh sorry for my attitude earlier, I am Subani the leader of the royal army of Benggawan. King Pawan who ordered us to help young lord”, that person introduced himself.

“Thank you for coming uncle, sorry for making you come so far", Aryo saluted fellow swordsman, "And the fight just now really opened my eyes today”, Aryo replied with a smile.

Patih Purno choked on his own breath when he heard the words thrown by Aryo to Subani. According to him those words were a little offensive to him, if only in the fight he had brought his spear of course the result would not be like that.

“Day is already noon, too hot if it continues to stand here", paraphrased Patih Purno.

"Ah, I almost forgot. Let's go inside the headquarters of Mr. Subani”, take Aryo's man after.

Without further ado, they began to walk into the base. The atmosphere is now getting crowded with the arrival of a new team that is quite large. The soldiers began to get to know each other and began to talk about the journey of his new friend.

The day went well without any other obstacles. After the arrival of Subani and his troops held a meeting again to discuss the strategy of the war that had been planned. Not much has changed because Subani is no stranger to the war strategy of Patih Purno. According to him, the strategy that has been prepared will succeed when facing his opponent later.
