The Musafir

Sneaking out

THEY STILL continued to sneak among the large trunked trees. Under the moon's silver rays. Silent and silent. The mantle still leads the way. The North River Angel walked behind him, keeping watch by putting a palm on the handle of the kelewang.

The forest they passed through grew thick. The moonlight could barely penetrate the shade of trees that were like domes. They entered a deep darkness.

Perhaps for Mantingan, he could see his surroundings with the Eagle Eye Science. However, the North River Angel does not have a sharp vision science. All he saw was the darkness of the night. Luckily the Mantingan soon realized it before the girl got lost so far away. He issued a small mine—which is indeed a mandatory object for intruders, then asked Bidadari Sungai Utara to hold it.

“Hold this. I'll guide you.”

That is how the Angel of the North River walks in the shadow of darkness using a small mine. The girl could not see Mantingan, but as long as the mine was still within her grasp, then she would feel safe.

Not long after, Mantingan saw dots of light some distance ahead of him. Because the forest is very dark, the points of light can be seen so clearly. Borrowing the Science of Air Whispers, Mantingan asked the North River Angel to stop.

Mantingan then took out the Tracker Throw. The red light on the lontar was getting louder. Meets most of the strokes on the surface of the palm. The mantle nodded and smiled.

“Our destination is ahead there.” Whispering mantle.

“Those light spots?”

“Yes, that's where.” Back he whispered, “remember that tonight, we will just monitor. Avoid fighting as much as possible. Assume that the opponents we will face are trained people.”

The North River Angel was silent, but understood very well what Mantingan said.

“Now we move.” Mantingan moves first, while Bidadari Sungai Utara runs behind him with a small mine.

They encountered a bush that required them to fly past it. If they had to pierce through the thicket on foot, the item would certainly cause a suspicious ruffled sound.

The Northern River Angel also darted beside Mantingan. They landed together very, very lightly. Other than the whirring of the wind, there was no sound whatsoever that the two of them created.

“Stay running.” The mantle gave a whisper of wind. “Beware of all sides. Especially the tops of trees, usually many warriors who monitor from the top of the tree.”

Again the Angel of the North River did not answer. However, he understood very well what Mantingan had said. If you answer, it is of no use but to increase the risk.

They keep advancing. Not so fast this time. When approaching the enemy headquarters, it is not impossible to have a strong guard installed around the headquarters. They must first ensure the safety around them before taking any small steps forward.

There were no trapping Magic Throws near them. Not even with the warriors at the top of the tree. Mantingan suspects that he and the Northern River Angel have entered into an enemy trap.

“Saudari, I'll check ahead. Will Sister wait here for me?”

“Brother, wouldn't it be dangerous to go forward alone?”

“It will be more dangerous if we both advance, if viewed from any side.” In the darkness, Mantingan put on a smile. There is no need for light to feel the smile. “If you don't want to do this for me, then do this for Kana and Kina.”

The Northern River Angel wanted to take a long breath. But he knew that this attitude would only make things worse. So with certainty, the Angel of the North River nodded. “daku will wait here while keeping watch.”

“Move, Mantingan. Don't wait any longer.”

So Mantingan released a piece of mine that originally linked it to the North River Angel. Then walk alone. Towards increasingly visible points of light. The Northern River Angel was waiting behind him. Expecting the best, but also anxious is not a reed.

Meanwhile, Mantingan was already far from his original place. Between a tall shrub and a big tree, Mantingan hid and peeked.

Not far in front of him, Mantingan can see a large building. It may be two floors high, or fewer. The building occupied a field among the dense trees.

The building looks built. It was like a building where the men rested. But inside the fragile building, sounds that are quite loud can be heard to the outside. Mantingan uses sharp hearing to be able to hear the sound more clearly.

The mantis hears the sound of the horn and other sounds. Definitely meant for entertainment. And if Mantingan wants to hear more clearly, he will hear the voices of women. No need to explain anymore how the sound looks like.

“What are you looking at, Mantingan?”

What a surprised Mantingan. If only it could not control itself, the Mantingan's item would jump up and shout. Then she realized that it was Rara's voice. The mantan can see the shadow of Rara vaguely next to him, which is increasingly faint overwritten by the dark of the night.

Mantingan said inwardly, “Rara .. why did you just come? I waited for you for so long. I really miss you.”

“I think the Angel of the North River is enough to replace me in your heart.”

“Not possible and never will.” The mantle says softly.

“Forget about this. You have to look ahead. There are many dangers here.”

The mantle nodded slowly. His gaze returned to the enemy headquarters.

“It looks like they're partying.”

“True.” Rara responded. “Then from that, there is no strong guard around here. Look at that tall tower they built, no one is guarding it.”

Mantingan nodded, again he said inwardly, “If this is the case, wouldn't I just attack them?”

Rara laughed a little. “That's a stupid act, my dear. Remember that there are still many people in the village. Enough they send arrows sendaren, then the rest of the village.”

Mantian nodded. Rara realized that the action was very dangerous. Then Mantingan will still run the initial plan. Just staking. Not attack.

Then Rara again said, “If they are not partying, the guard here will be even tighter. But for tonight, hawa **** have mastered them.”

“If the day to attack has arrived,” says Mantingan, “I'll make them all feast first.”
