The Fate of Adipura Kingdom

6. The Mysterious Man's Strength

Patih Yarna and the mysterious man had already fought and exchanged over 50 moves but were still evenly matched. Others who saw it thought that they were equal but Patih Yarna knew that his opponent had not used all his abilities.

Seeing the worry in Patih Yarna's face the mysterious man smiled sinisterly at him, he laughed and then spoke to his opponent.

“Your ability is good but you are still one level with me. I have already entered the level of a white tiger swordsman, with this it is not difficult to kill you. Except for that woman, she is still the same as you and if you fight then I believe you are the one who will come out as the winner”, the mysterious man ended his words with a mocking laugh to Patih Yarna.

The mysterious man's laughter was extremely irritating and as if it was degrading not only his opponent but his comrade as well. The woman who had been silent from earlier spoke up in an angry tone addressed to the mysterious man.

“Already senior enough, quickly we finish!

I want it all to end as soon as we plan” the remark he aimed at the mysterious man earlier in a furious tone but a second later he felt a murderous aura leading to him gave him goosebumps for a moment.

“Sorry junior has sassy”, continued the woman bowed her head in fear and goosebumps due to the aura of the killer who was none other than the man who was with her earlier.

“It's enough, quickly take Jaka's student to a safe place. With my strength now I can still survive until you return bringing more people” the mysterious man ordered afterwards.

The mysterious man's statement makes some Patih try to stop him but are immediately blocked by a mysterious man who is near them.

Seeing that there was an opportunity to leave, the woman took out some black balls and threw them in all directions nearby. When it hits the ground the ball turns into black smoke and reduces visibility.

“Patih Yarna I will help you!”, king Aryo took his own actions without the consent of Patih Yarna, he quickly ran forward and directly attacked towards the mysterious man earlier.

Patih Yarna was surprised at the attitude of his king, but he soon regained consciousness and joined his king in attacking the mysterious man before them.

“Ahhhh... Two striped tiger warriors are not bad, I will serve you both. Magazine I want to move my body that just reached your white” swordsman, a mysterious man preparing to withstand an attack from his opponent.

***

The atmosphere at the gate was very bad, 5000 attackers tried to forcefully enter. They tried to destroy the gate with their weapons, because there were no guards at the gate.

Patih Marda frowned not expecting that tonight would be a great bloodbath. He tried to reduce the number of attackers at the gate, but when his arrow had finished off the 20 soldiers who were attacking faintly from behind he could feel a murderous aura coming towards him.

The murderous aura was so powerful when the distance of the user was not far from the position of Patih Marda right now. He then turned around and vaguely looked at someone he knew, and as the distance of that person got closer he was surprised instead of playing around for recognizing the person who had the murderous aura.

Constraint Kingdom is a neighbor of Adipura kingdom but these two kingdoms do not have a close relationship, a lot of problems that occur between these two kingdoms.

During the leadership of King Aryi, he ordered to establish cooperation with the kingdom of Obstacles. But every messenger he sent had to go home empty-handed even humiliated in the kingdom.

This was a slap for the Adipura kingdom because their emissaries had been humiliated by the Obstacle Kingdom. The court officials demanded the Aryi king to act decisively in order to restore the royal honor of Adipura.

But unfortunately the king of Aryi did not act according to the request of the palace officials, he preferred to forgive the actions that had been done by the royal Obstacle. Because of this also some palace officials became less respect for the king of Aryi, which made a commotion due to the actions of the king of Aryi.

The reason of the Aryi king allowing the action was none other than his unwillingness to bring the kingdom of Adipura into a war against the kingdom of Obstacles known for its strong army.

In strength, the kingdom of Obstacles is quite large from the kingdom of Adipura, but in terms of culture and welfare of the people of the kingdom of Adipura more master it.

This reason is also what makes the kingdom of Obstacles intend to control the kingdom of Adipura by humiliating the messenger they sent so that the Adipura kingdom retaliate for the treatment in order to cause a conflict that makes them finally able to fight.

But in terms of attacking the kingdom of Adipura, there is another reason that is not easy to attack this kingdom because the allies of the kingdom of Adipura can be said to be many but only small kingdoms such as Benggawan, Gundala, and Surka. These three kingdoms always helped the military affairs of Adipura kingdom with the payment in the form of culture and welfare of their people leveled like the kingdom of Adipura.

But unfortunately tonight the three kingdoms do not know at all that the kingdom of obstacles desperate to attack the kingdom of Adipura. News of the new attack they got after three days later through the talk of the residents who were displaced.

“Patih Marda can you take the time to exchange styles with me? I see no one can be your opponent here”, Balda minister spoke to Patih Marda after the distance is not too far.

“Minister Balda how dare you set foot in our palace! I will make you regret coming to the kingdom of Adipura!”, the anger of Patih Marda culminated after learning that the kingdom that was always hostile to them finally declared war by carrying out an attack tonight.

“Then prove it by deeds not just nonsense! I will make you understand that your little kingdom will be destroyed tonight!”, minister Balda's words make the anger of Patih Marda even more burning.

Filled with determination Patih Marda began to attack with his arrow and make a distance between the two. The two are now fighting each other with the stakes of their lives.

Not only were both the soldiers of Adipura kingdom as well as the Obstacle kingdom also fighting each other tonight, the sound of the cries being hit by slashes or pierced by spears echoed in that dark night.

The struggle of Adipura kingdom soldiers is heavier because they are fighting the opposing forces that have power above them.
