Meanwhile in Maltara
The closing of the intercontinental fighter tournament was so fierce. Thousands of people poured into the city of Maltara watching the spectacular fireworks. The event was very successful although the Empire had to add 2x Army personnel due to the opening of the city in search of a fugitive.
That morning Ayandaru was facing her foster parents, SANJAYA and RUI's mistress. Ayandaru wants to return to the Forbidden Jungle.
Sanjaya's family tried to persuade Ayandaru to stay in Maltara because in the city many promising things. But Ayandaru's longing for the forbidden jungle is unstoppable. Andini could not resist her wishes. As they were conversing, the waiter came hurriedly with a special guest. Sanjaya was a bit surprised because he was with his family especially being in the family's private room where he did not want to be disturbed. But the one who came was the direct envoy from the emperor.
The messenger placed the imperial badge on the table in front of Sanjaya, so that the person in the family room would pay their respects.
The message from the emperor was very simple, Ayandaru was asked to come to the palace.
Ayandaru was no stranger to that army. Every time the emperor hunted in the forbidden jungle, the shield elder came first.
In each of their escorts to the Emperor, they would not release the emperor from their tutelage an inch. Only for a few things sometimes the troops kept their distance, one of them when the emperor was in the hut where Resi Buyako and Ayandaru lived. If it is in the hut then the emperor is like a free man. He is free to joke with Ayandaru who he already considers his own sister. Even had a few times to massage the feet of resi. One thing the emperor's ugly habit towards Ayandaru was to squeeze the nose of his adopted sister. If Ayandaru had not screamed in pain the emperor would not let go.
While outside the hut, the shield troops will make a posse around the hut, Can be up to four layers. Not to mention his shadow unit that was expertly sneaking around the forest near the cottage revolved around a platoon. Two companies plus the fully alert CROWN SHIELD are 100 meters from the emperor.
It was the troops who waited for Ayandaru to escort him to the palace. While the special envoy who picked up Ayandaru at the hotel hrs changed disguise and re-mixed in the community.
At midnight the SHIELD troops exited the command building of SHANKAI city. Ayandaru was given the same clothes as them. (ala ninja in another era) their horse2 was black. There was only one white color in the riding troupe, a small ribbon tied in the pony of Ayandaru. Almost invisible. during the journey the troops drove without obstruction, whatever they crossed seemed to give distance. If there are goats off the road, or tigers that block the path of the troops then it is certain he was shot dead by shadow units (spt sniper in another era) before the SHIELD passed through the road.
