once again the hands of the Mantingan flashed at a speed exceeding fast to catch the five flying blades that targeted the head, chest, and feet of the Northern River Angel.


The three knives were no longer kept, but were passed back to their owners. Two black shadow figures clanking on the roofs of the buildings instantly fell down as the two flying knives each stuck in their chests, shaking the people around.


The Mantingan group continued to move. Kana and Kina actually stopped when they heard the excitement not far from the place, but the North River Angel asked them to walk and ignore it.


Mantingan continued to be alert, when he heard the sound of greatness that moved very quickly towards them. Without wasting any time even a blink of an eye, Mantingan darted rapidly into the air, approaching the shadowy figures that flashed towards the Northern River Angel!


Only Mantingan darted away, while the two white-masked warriors settled down to guard the Northern River Angel. Indeed, if Mantingan alone is enough to face the less experienced warriors.


Still hovering in the air, the Mantan released the blade of the Kiai Kedai Sword from its cage, preparing to face the seven black shadows that were wielding the sword as well.


There was no attack in the air, for indeed the seven opponents of Mantingan were not capable enough to make the young man fend off their attacks. How fast the movements of the Mantingan are too fast to be dispelled by them!


Blood was splashed in the air. Quite seven times the Spell swung the sword to separate the life from the body of his seven opponents. The mantans had thought of the most painless way to kill the seven of them, namely by directly slashing their headstones.


Mantingan tracked the ground and again walked beside the North River Angel while sheathing his sword. The seven lifeless bodies then fell on the ground. The young man's eyes grew even more sharp. He asked the Angel of the North River and Cana and Kina to walk faster.


Arrive them at the dock, which is immediately directed to ride a medium-sized sailboat leaning on the dock.


After it was confirmed that everything had arrived on the deck, the connecting bridge was pulled back. The screen is unfolded as soon as possible. Swordsmen on the bridge use the Science of Controlling the Wind to blow up the sail of the ship. While the warriors on the base deck began rowing.


With all the power available, the ship moved quickly away from the dock. Some of the enemy warriors still had time to hurtle themselves towards the top of the deck, but only to be killed as quickly as possible by the White Mask Army guarding there.


Everything is done so quietly and quickly. When word of the North River Angel's departure spread, they were already far away from the port.

WHEN midnight arrived, off the coast of Cupu Negara, the fleet of the White Wind College of thirty-five battleships joined the fleet of Tarumanagara which numbered a hundred warships.


Although the number of White Wind College fleets was much smaller than the Tarumanagara fleet, but they could be said to take a big part in the success of the plan and even the battle later.


Although the number of Tarumanagara fleet is many, but the ability of warriors in it is not as high as the warriors of the White Wind College who are even able to control the wind to move the sails.


White Wind College did not have many warships, but the college had superior warriors to make up for the shortcomings. So it can be said, the White Wind College fleet and the Tarumanagara fleet have a balanced power.


That morning Mantingan tried to enjoy the rising of the sun, which however looks much more beautiful if viewed in the middle of the ocean like this. Even so, Mantingan did not really enjoy the scenery due to seasickness he experienced.


“Sometimes like this are pretty dangerous, Brother Man.” A white masked warrior standing next to him said. “If you do not get used to the sea immediately, it will be difficult to face the battle later. We just prepared a swing for you to wear immediately for practice.”


“True. In order for you to get used to the bobbing ship, we will swing you on the swing.”


The mantle widened his eyes. It was certainly conceivable by him how much such an exercise would be so adventurous, but it was absolutely necessary!


“Good. Please show me the place.”


The Swordsman nodded his head and asked the Mantingan to follow him towards the stern of the ship. When passing the bridge, the skipper greeted them kindly.


“Revelation!” call him while waving his hand. “Would these two of you go to the Swing of a Thousand Weeping Reversed Earths?”


The mantle frowned, still not really understanding why the swing was named the Thousand Weeping Inverted Earth which he thought was too frightening for just an ordinary swing. However, the white masked swordsman next to him replied.


“True that, O mighty Flying Fish! Brother Man wants to train there.”


“Good then!” The person called the Flying Fish returned. “It's good you guys are faster. There are many possibilities that the war will erupt tonight anyway. If that happens, do not let Brother Man roll around on the deck crying because he feels the earth and its contents have been turned upside down!”


The skipper then laughed loudly, followed by laughter from other warriors on the bridge.


“We listen to your advice, Flying Fish! We are self-confident now.”


After saying so, the white masked swordsman asked the Mantingan to return to continue the journey to the stern. Passing through the young warriors who were doing their respective duties on the ship called Kelewang Samodra.


“Do not put into the heart of the words Flying Fish, Brother Man. It was just a joke of the sailors.”


Mantingan nodded his head while smiling awkwardly. “I understand his words. It feels, Flying Fish is not playing around.”


“Maybe, but Flying Fish is hard to understand. In college, only Chairman Rama was able to have a casual chat with him ..”.


The Swordsman then told him everything he knew about the Flying Fish as they walked leisurely towards the stern of the ship.


“Flying Fish don't just get his nickname. If he was fighting, he really looked like a flying fish. Its flagship style is Fish Opposite Crossing the Ocean.


“With that style, he was able to bouncy from the waves to the waves, until he arrived at the enemy ship with a pair of lemurs. This ship gets its name from its kelembang. A pair of Samodra Fragile, so the pair of swords is called because the blade is so clean and shiny that it reflects the shadow of the blue sea.


“For the rogues, Flying Fish is a very frightening specter. Flying Fish was fearless of death, he raided the enemy ships crazily. The fleet under his leadership has never lost a battle, and not a single freighter has said the word retreat!”
