The Fate of Adipura Kingdom

63. Pensively

The question from Patih Purno made Subani hold her breath for a moment, she then looked at the face of her colleague who now had a laugh being held back.

"Those crucial moments are why you should talk about my wife! You want to fight now?!", Subani became a little emotional because of Patih Purno's question just now.

Patih Purno's laughter could not be contained anymore, his partner was eaten umpire fishing rod he had made, "Hahahaha..", Patih Purno wiped his tears that came out, "I'm sorry I didn't mean, I'm just making sure that my friend is still focused on facing our opponent tonight" Patih Purno replied as he patted his partner's shoulder repeatedly.

Subani, who heard this, brushed off his partner's hand and then landed a punch right on his partner's right arm, "That's a reply because of your words", after saying that Subani then laughed with Patih Purno.

The laughter of Subani and Patih Purno can be heard by Balda's ministerial forces. They were astonished to see the behavior of his opponent who was currently still able to laugh after finishing off the entire skin tribe army that joined them in the infiltration mission tonight.

Minister Balda himself was only speechless to watch his two opponents who were currently laughing loosely not far from his place. Minister Balda bit his lower lip, he understood the meaning of the laughter of his two opponents. It was a bitter laughter where a pair of true friends had passed through the sweet and bitter life of this world.

The laughter he heard made minister Balda pensive for a moment, his mind now drifting to imagine someone he so longed for. The figure was none other than his partner when he was young who had now long gone far away from him.

A longing feeling burst out from his heart, he missed that figure. Sweet and bitter memories with his partner were vivid in his mind, during his life he never found a replacement for the figure.

"Ahhhhh... How are you there?", minister Balda looked up at the dark sky, "Did you also long for our togetherness?"

Minister Balda's feelings are now mixed into one, "Maybe soon we will meet, wait a little longer. There's one important thing I have to do now", a bitter smile was now engraved on Minister Balda's face.

Without realizing it his eyes began to glaze over given how lost he was when the figure he had missed had gone to face the god. As he still imagined the good times of the past not long after that Patih who he saved from the death penalty approached him.

"While minister, what should we do next?", the Patih asked minister Balda.

Actually he was reluctant to disturb minister Balda who was seen staring at the sky without even blinking an eye.

Minister Balda's reflection came to a halt after hearing the question from Patih he brought, "No need to delay again, attack with full force. Let fate speak what will come after it", minister Balda ordered in a soft voice.

Minister Balda's voice was a little raucous to Patih's, out of curiosity he secretly looked at Minister Balda's face. He was stunned for a moment when he found that now the face of his leader was so sad with eyes looking glassy, a sight he had just seen this time.

A very respected figure in the kingdom of Adipura after the king of Jaka who is famous for being assertive and courageous turned out to also have a weak side like that. Feeling the atmosphere is not good Patih immediately said, "Good minister"

Aryo along with the old man and rebel forces have just arrived at where Subani and Patih Purno are located. They could clearly see that the enemy troops were flocking forward towards them very quickly.

There was no doubt visible on his opponent's face at the moment, he was sure his troops would have a hard time dealing with the imminent battle.

"Patih.", Aryo tried to speak to Patih Purno.

Patih Purno did not answer but immediately gave command in the form of a hand movement that ordered the rebel forces to move forward against the opponent.

Fervent cries of combat irrigate the steps of the rebel forces against their opponents. The bloodshed was finally inevitable, the rebel forces led by Aryo and Adipura royal forces and Obstacle led by Balda ministers then met on the battlefield and began the battle.

Minister Balda came not only to see this time, he then stepped forward towards his enemy along with an army of black wolves. While Patih Purno who saw his opponent advance also did not want to miss, he was accompanied by Subani and Aryo joined the battle.

The originally dark and silent atmosphere of the night was now boisterous with the cries of the fighting spirit of every soldier who fought. Not only that screams even screams of pain also filled the fanfare in the battle.

In a short period of time from dozens to hundreds of corpses were now lying on the ground lifelessly due to the injuries they received from their opponents. The ground that became the battleground is now flowed by the blood of every soldier who was injured and even died in the battle the smell of blood also adorned the horror in the battle of both sides.

Minister Balda continued to kill any enemies who tried to approach him, with the help of the army of black wolves requiring them to be easy in defeating even finishing off any opponents they encountered. Similarly, in the stronghold of Aryo accompanied by Patih Purno and Subani did not lose great in eliminating each of their opponents.

Keris, spear and machete of the three are now covered in blood from their opponents, not only that the clothes they wear also contain fresh blood and have not had time to dry. The battle had only been going for a while but the sea of corpses had already graced the scene of the battle.

The combination of the three easily snuffed out any opponent who tried to attack him from any direction. But unexpectedly Aryo then separated from the combination of the three. He then moved forward deeper than before, he then attacked with all the ability he had.

The opponents could not do much, as if they were faced with a hungry tiger. Aryo's attack was so nimble plus Bagaskara's keris in his hand made anyone he met would meet his end tonight.

He realized that if too long to buy time his troops would be a loss because the enemy troops many times the number of his current troops. If you do not use the entire ability just wait for the time his troops will be pressed because of their dwindling numbers.
