The Fate of Adipura Kingdom

59. Tranquility Momentary V

The fire that came from the torches had managed to make the black tribal troops now visible existence. Subani and the old man finally became aware of the intent of the attack carried out by Aryo and Patih Purno just now.

They then prepared their own weapons to face their opponents tonight, while the other soldiers prepared to wait for the orders their leader would give.

The black tribesmen were surprised to see the fire that did not go out when it hit the ground, they slowly moved away from the flames. Although the look on their faces was unclear due to the darkness of the night, Patih Purno was able to catch what was happening with his current opponent.

Not until there then Patih Purno again gave orders for his soldiers to throw jars filled with torch oil to the place of the torch that was thrown just now. The iron horse troops moved quickly and threw the jars in the direction they were ordered.

The torch oil that met with the fire instantly turned into an even bigger blaze. Instantly, the black tribal forces immediately retreated to keep their distance from the location of the blaze.

Because of his suspicious opponent, Patih Purno understands the situation where his enemy is now experiencing shock or even fear. It was very clear because they were talking to each other in a slow tone but slightly quivering.

Only Aryo and Patih Purno heard the black tribesmen talking, while the troops behind could only see the enemy moving away from the small flames.

"What happened to them?", Aryo asked in surprise at the attitude their opponents showed tonight.

Patih Purno smiled for a moment before answering the question from Aryo, "As per the information I know that in their land the belief that fire is the embodiment of evil spirits or people who use black magic. Perhaps these people still hold that belief, a miracle we can see them tonight", Patih Purno concluded.

"This is our chance young master!", Patih Purno reminded Aryo.

Aryo nodded his head in understanding, he then together with Patih Purno came forward jumping over the flames and immediately launched an attack on his opponent.

Subani did not stay silent, she then advanced forward to take part in the actions of Aryo and Patih Purno. The three now attacked dozens of people from the black tribe and it did not take long for the three to dominate the attack.

Their opponents kept trying to put up a fight or simply retaliate against the attacks of the three of them but with the combination of the three now they managed to urge their opponents to keep retreating backwards.

"Straight canine panther!", Aryo took out the moves he learned from his own father-in-law, Sinta's father.

This style can not be done using Bagaskara keris because this style can only be used with a sword as an intermediate tool. Aryo took the sword from one of the leather tribe troops who had been killed by his attack with Patih Purno earlier.

While still a student of the padepokan raised by Sinta's own father, that's when Aryo asked that he be taught a technique that is deadly enough to fight. Sinta's father initially refused given Aryo's status as a crown prince of Adipura kingdom would not be possible for someone to want to try to harm him.

But given the bitter experience that Sinta's father had felt when a man was too weak in protecting himself will impact on others even his own family. That's why Sinta's father then agreed to the request from Aryo at that time.

Aryo's movements suddenly became faster and more agile with attacks focused on his opponent's vital areas. The five black tribesmen who were facing Aryo at this time had to gulp as their strength was unable to match Aryo's strength even if they joined though.

"Aarghghhghghhh..."

"Yuuggghhuukk"

Aryo's attack managed to make two of his five opponents get severe injuries on their stomach and chest respectively. Due to the extremely severe injuries, his opponent immediately fell to the ground and soon died afterwards.

One of the black tribes with the same strength as a striped tiger warrior tried to break away as he and his two comrades were busy in a fight with Patih Purno.

"No way will I let you go!", Patih Purno exclaimed loudly to his three opponents, he then raised the tempo of his attack. His opponent is now unable to dwell because the attacks from Patih Purno increasingly faster.

***

The three black tribesmen who were opponents of Patih Purno were now suffering from breathing difficulties due to the uninterrupted attack that Patih Purno had directed at them. The attack continued to come and target their leg area, Patih Purno intended to injure his opponent's leg so that their movement became slow later.

With extensive experience and a spear as his weapon Patih Purno dominated the fight. His opponent had compensated for his attack but it only happened for a short time.

It did not take long now the attack from Patih Purno managed to incise a wound in his opponent's leg to make their movement become a little slowed due to injuries that continue to drain blood. Patih Purno did not wait any longer, he then jumped up with a posture ready to hit with his spear

"Iron saver!!!", Patih Purno took out his flagship style again, his three opponents trying to dodge the attack but the injuries they received were unable to make things change as they wished.

Being unable to do much either one of them gathered the rest of his strength to withstand the attack of Patih Purno.

But like heaven and earth the difference in strength of the three with Patih Purno is very far. It had even been obvious since their first fight, but their spirit as fighters did not shake the difference in strength.

The spear swing with a pattern like hitting an object from above with all his might was immediately met with a sword from one of the black tribal troops. The sword that met with Patih Purno's spear then broke in two, unable to withstand the power of Patih Purno's spear swing.

Then the spear continued to slide down towards the ground where the third leg of Patih Purno's opponent rested. When the spear touched the ground, there was also an explosion of energy that made the three opponents Patih Purno bounce back.

The ground hit by the spear exploded from below and then flew into the air, Patih Purno's opponent who was in the attack area had to be the victim of the explosion.
