The Musafir

Attack at Auction Market

BUT WHEN the voice of greatness was heard again, Mantingan could not be unawares.

“Sister, someone is following us.”

The North River Angel kept walking despite hearing that, he looked back for a moment. “Brother, you better run to your house. I'll outwit them.”

Of course the order was rejected Mantingan with careful consideration. “I am the one who has caused this problem, it is not good to involve Sisters too far.”

“Heavy Brother could be threatened if stay with me.”

“And remember that Sister's life is also threatened if facing them alone. Understand the present state of Sister.”

“Mantingan, I'm not kidding.” Now the North River Angel looked anxious. “Go, let me face them.”

The Mantingan stepped even faster, ahead of the Northern River Angel. The girl let out a long sigh, thinking the Mantingan was really going to leave her. But who would have thought, when the North River Angel was preparing to welcome the enemy, he actually saw Mantingan standing in front of the weapon shop.

“Brother, what are you doing?”

“As Sister saw, I was buying weapons.” The mantan replied without turning his head, his eyes constantly staring at the long lewd in his hands.

“I told you to go home, didn't I?”

Now Mantingan stared directly at the eyes of the North River Angel. “Can I not have the same stubbornness as Sister?” Then Mantingan turned to the gun seller. “How much is the price for this kelewang, Mr?”

“Brother, don't be crazy!”

The Mantingan completed the payment first before replying to the Northern River Angel. “I'm not crazy. If I'm crazy, then I'll face an enemy without a weapon. However, Sister can see what I'm buying. This malleable is very good, the length is asepa—”

“What you are doing is a futile act of suicide!” Actually the North River Angel whispered, but full of emphasis.

The mantan took a deep breath before being forced to borrow a little energy in order to chant the Science of Whispering Wind. “From North River, you need to know that you are currently a fugitive. If Sister gets caught later, I don't know what to do. But if I come with you, then maybe we will help each other in the face of enemy attacks.”

The Angel of the North River exhaled a long breath. “And keep in mind also that you should not use too much energy in.”

“I'll work on.”

Again, the Angel of the North River was about to argue. However, the attack just started. The mantan suddenly swung his sword upwards in a quick motion, not as fast as a swordsman's, but very precise to be able to fend off the flying blade that was targeting his head.

The North River Angel also received the same attack, but he chose to avoid rather than fend it off. The flying knife plunged deep into the ground.

Mantingan and the Northern River Angel walked backwards until the backs of the two met each other. In the face of the siege, this form of fighting will be beneficial. The Mantingan and the Angel of the North River can see in all directions, and can also protect each other.

Both Mantingan and Bidadari Sungai Utara pulled out each other. Install the highest level of vigilance. Especially on a Mantingan that cannot use deep energy, it chooses to be fully alert. A little care will bring death.

Mantingan believes his fighting experience will be of great help. Although he did not know how many enemies he now faced, but the Mantingan confidently could deal with him if they did not attack together.

“What should we do?” The North River Angel whispered softly.

Mantingan immediately replied, “We walk slowly to a narrower place.”

The Northern River Angel nodded despite not being seen by Mantingan. “I'll keep the back, Brother take the front.”

Mantingan slightly shifted his position, he could feel the Northern River Angel also doing the same. He took it step by step.

This time he saw no one at all. The merchants and market visitors around Mantingan had dispersed, going away from him. Leaves vibrant lanterns and torches. So Mantingan can actually run freely without hindrance on the market streets, but he knows that it will only take his life to the afterlife.

Mantingan saw two large buildings on his right side. There is a slight gap between the two buildings. Enough for one or two people. Since it was a fitting place to face the siege, Mantingan immediately reported to the Northern River Angel attached to his back.

“Saudaries, on our right.”

“Ya, I saw it.”

“We have to run as fast as possible to get there. Do not let the enemy know our plan.”

“When?”

“NOW!”

The backs of the Mantingan and the Angel of the North River broke away from each other. As quickly as possible they ran into that narrow gap. Behind him, Mantingan could hear the sound of iron whirling into the wind. But this time he could neither fend off nor simply dodge. Only luck can he rely on.

Then they both went into that hole. For Mantingan, he felt like he had just waded through a large field. When he looked out, he found several knives stuck on the wall of the building. One of them stuck not far from where Mantingan walked earlier, penetrating the depth of the ground.

“Note the top, Sisters! I'll guard over here.”

There were only two ways for the enemy to attack Mantingan and the Northern River Angel. It is located at the top that directly faces the night sky, and the entrance that was passed by Mantingan and Bidadari North River. Other than those two roads, there was no other way. It was impossible for them to break through the thick walls of the building again strongly.

Silent for a long time. There was only the sound of crickets singing, and a little bit of wind. Mantingan and Bidadari Sungai Utara also did not make a sound other than the breathing was very slow.

The enemy attack has not yet come. I don't know how long time has passed. Mantingan thought that the enemy realized his disadvantageous position, choosing to cancel the attack rather than having to suffer a crushing defeat. But that's just an estimate. That might happen, and it might not happen.

The mantel blows its lethargy forward. His fingers firmly grasped the sword hilt. He arranged his breathing and gathered the courage to come forward to check things out. And before that, the Mantingan had to alert themselves as much as possible to fend off surprise attacks.
