The Fate of Adipura Kingdom
52. The War Starts X
Seeing the third strike successfully made Patih Purno exclaim to his troops, “Give them a lesson they will never forget for good!”, and give them a lesson they will never forget, with the command in the form of hand movements Patih Purno ordered an army of iron horses to advance crashing into enemy positions.
The enemy who survived and suffered minor injuries then stood up to face the cavalry led by Patih Purno, with trembling legs and hands they tried to rise and want to avenge the death of his partner who was very sad.
But as they prepared, from afar they faintly saw thousands more arrows hovering in the air and heading towards them back. The troops who had been preparing to face the iron horse army again had to prepare to hold off the thousands of arrows.
Their leaders who initially did not know what to do now understood what to do, “Thanks to the shield up and close your ranks, never lower the shield!”, do not, his orders to the troops he leads.
Patih Purno who saw it smiled on his way, “It turns out they are also quick to learn”, his mind speaks.
The opposing forces raised their shields as high as possible with a close line. Not long after that thousands of arrows were plunged towards them, this time also many victims had to be killed but not as much as before.
When a soldier is injured or killed, the other soldiers replace their positions so that their shields continue to be in contact with each other.
The opposing forces were too focused on surviving the attacks of thousands of arrows that shot towards them. They had just breathed a sigh of relief but a moment later they only realized that another danger was heading towards them very quickly.
The iron horse army led by Patih Purno was only ten steps away from the opposing forces, with such a close distance that made his opponent unprepared in the face of attacks from his troops.
The iron horse army led by Patih Purno easily managed to hit the enemy reinforcements. The enemy troops who had just resisted the attack of thousands of arrows could not do much, now their formation was immediately messy and divided somewhere because of the attack of the iron horse army led by Patih Purno.
Patih Purno and his troops did not miss the opportunity he had planned so thoroughly, the enemy troops that were in front of them were now easy targets from their spears. Easily and quickly they finish off any enemy soldiers who are within range of their attacks.

Different things witnessed by the opposing soldiers who had not crossed the land that became a sea of horse corpses, they were lucky not to get a single attack from the rain of arrows of rebel forces.
But before their own eyes they watched as his comrades who were walking through the sea of dead horses fared very badly. A very terrible sight, the red man continued to show his action devouring lifeless bodies before their eyes.
And the most terrible thing was when they saw one of his colleagues coming out of the fire with all blisters blistered and skin peeling irregularly. He had severe burns, he tried to get out of the fire and it worked.
He crawled with the remains of his calm, about to ask for help but not a help he got but a look of compassion because of the condition of his body.
His comrades looked at the survivor with a feeling of pity mixed with horror, there were more than ten arrows stuck in the soldier's body and the most terrible was a burn on his face.
Without the soldier realizing it, now his facial skin has been lost in part and the appearance of his skull bones makes his colleagues shudder in horror when they see him.
The attention of other soldiers is now directed at the horsemen led by a mysterious man. Who does not know this cavalry, many already know the big name of the black bullfighter in leading his cavalry.
Many pasepokan or troops who are a little at odds with them will receive disaster later. And the people knew this cavalry better as blood horsemen.
But it turns out that today the army is now a victim of the ferocity of the iron horse army led by Patih Purno. His comrades tried to run away but it was all in vain, Patih Purno ordered that all his troops should finish off the remnants of the troops who had crossed the sea of horse corpses.
“They're all slaughtered!”
“I won't go there!”
“Hei!!! Our leader is ahead, quickly cross over we help our colleagues!”
“I still love my life, you see what happened there?!, This fire is too hot to pass and see they are all over! If we go forward, our next fate will not be far away with them!”, a Patih from the reinforcements issued his opinion as the other trainers fought each other with the current situation.
Hearing that explanation the other Patih then fell silent, the words of his colleague just now were true. If they advanced not necessarily the troops in front managed to be saved, it could be when they got there his comrades had already lost their lives first.
And the biggest reason was the flames in front of those who continued to devour the sea of corpses and horses that blocked the movement of those who seemed to enjoy the lifeless body. If they are desperate to cross the sea of corpses then they are the same as delivering lives for sure.
“Retreat!!! Quickly retreat!!”, a retreating cry echoed in the air aimed at the reinforcements.
Their coach ordered that they should withdraw immediately, otherwise they would be the next target of the ferocity of the opposing cavalry. They could do nothing more, today they had to accept that they were defeated by the opposing forces.
Thousands of retreating reinforcements sent rebel forces cheering in excitement. They did not expect that today they won a victory considering the number of enemies was four times their number.
The triumphant cheers echoed, the rebel forces bearing the names of Aryo and Patih Purno as their leaders who led them to victory today. Their pleasure cannot be contained, even from them to shed tears and embrace each other.
"Hurry up and get out of this place!!!"
“Yeeaaahhhhhh!!!!!!”
“Don't stop running coward!!!”
“Number alone will not be enough to win against us!!!”
