The Musafir
Rara's Emergence, Back
The entire swordsman on the deck became confused and distraught. Especially when the screams of the death of their friends on the base deck. Instantly the archery squad split apart, picking up buckets at the edge of the deck to put out the fire.
In the midst of the chaos, a soldier came to Officer Hanung with a quick run.
“Panal ... arrow ... deviated!” The soldier said with a disjointed breath. It appears that fatigue and anxiety have been the cause.
“Say clearly!” Officer Hanung snapped violently, making the soldier strangely detached from his stuttering.
“The arrows deviated from the bow! Ship wall is targeted!”

MANTINGAN heard the sound of wind rustling behind his back. Immediately he dodged by darting to the right side, because it is very unlikely if he darted forward.
Now it could be seen by him the sheer might of the shadow with the glittering sword had just shot past where he had been standing. The shadow flashed closer to the Sixth Half before darting back to chase after the Mantingan with him.
The mantle continued to flutter. As soon as possible. For a time, he will avoid the fight, because the one he is fighting is not just one tough fighter but two tough warriors at once.
But in fact he was not only pursued, but also attacked with throwing weapons. Mantingan can guess that the Fifth Cagak who just came has a large internal power reserve, because it is able to make his weapons go faster than him. He was moving at an unpredictable speed.
The mantel turns the incision to the left, then to the right, then to the left again, and to the left again, and unexpectedly he moves back to the left before to the right!
That's how the Mantingan moves with twists and turns to avoid throwing weapons in the form of knives and flying needles that target it, as well as to outwit the two enemies who are still chasing from behind.
“Beched!” The mantle could not resist its curse. “The two mules did not want a respectable fight at all, they just wanted to kill me!”
“He, Mantai? You can also say rude, huh?”
The mantle turned to his side. Surprisingly, he finds Rara speeding up to keep up with his speed.p0
Mantingan said in his mind, “Please not now, Rara. You see, I am very desperate!”
“Ya, daku see.” Under the bright full moonlight, Rara seemed to be smiling sweetly. Presumably the wind has blown the mega-mega away from the horizon in tandem with its arrival. “But you look at this, I brought a sword.”
The mantle widened its eyes when it was realized that Rara was holding a sword in her hand.
“Rara ..tu ...”
“Yes. If you think that my spirit is a curious spirit that always thrills in the crucial moments, then you are wrong. But now, I don't have time to explain everything to you.” Rara widened her smile.
Mantingan felt his head was still dizzy. What Rara said completely made her mind chaotic, filled with questions jostling with shock.
If the girl is not the spirit of Rara who has been living only in her mind, then how can they speak in her mind? How can he fly? How could he read Mantingan's feelings? And who is he if not Rara, but very much like her?
“There is no time to question such things.” The woman shook her head. “Is it true that you almost got a flying knife because of daydreaming?”
How could Mantingan stop wondering if his loved ones have been alive?!
“Later I explain everything!” he said half-stomping. “You must return to the fleet now. The life of the Northern River Angel is really in danger right now! As for the two bags you mentioned, let me take care of it!”
“Go to the Red Frog Ship. No need to think about let alone doubt me, remember that above the sky there is still sky.” Rara pulled out the hilt of her sword before turning to dart backwards. Abandoned by Rara in such a manner, the Mantingan had no other choice but to accelerate northwards, where two great fleets were fighting there.
Even if Rara turned out to be a shadowy figure in his mind, which was currently appearing because he was expecting a miracle, then Mantingan would still choose to move into the fleet.
The sign he was reading at this time was not very good, which is true in accordance with Rara's statement, that the North River Angel was in danger that had reached a life-threatening level.
And if the Sixth and Fifth Charms would still pursue him, then he was sure that the expert warriors in the combined fleet could help him overcome the two warriors. Mantingan recalled that the Flying Fish and the Cakravarman were warriors who were more than experts.

“WHAT-WHAT?!”
Flying Fish was surprised not to play when it saw hundreds of arrows shot towards the ships in its fleet. It is unexpected, because the arrows came from a friend's ship, which is not wrong and not the Red Frog.
Sri Punawarman guards quickly raised shields to all directions to protect the emperor. But fortunately, the distance of Kelewang Samodra with Red Frog is too far, so that not a single arrow from the ship stuck in Kelewang Samodra.
But then the Flying Fish slashed its eyes. The fire raged madly at the Red Frog, though none of the other ships were fast enough to retaliate.
“Cakrawarman works very carefully.” Sri Maharaja muttered softly while looking in the same direction.
Flying Fish frowned. Of course, he did not understand the words of the emperor. “What happened, Your Majesty?”
Although it sounded less civilized, the Flying Fish dared to ask. However, as the top holder of the White Wind College fleet leadership, he felt the need to know everything that happened in his fleet.
“Since the beginning, Red Frog has shown an unnatural gait,” he said calmly. “Not noticeable, but it has been enough to make me suspicious. Even so, I still let the Red Frog sail with the fleet. If the ship and the people on board were traitors and sided with the enemy, then they would have planned something against this fleet. I let their plan go smoothly, until I send Cakrawarman to the Red Frogs to break their plan.”
“Do that mean, the goods of the Northern River Angel found on His Majesty's ship are ...”
“Not anyone did on our side, but I know that something like this will happen.” Sri Punawarman then took a deep breath. “May batara deity help him to find Angel of the North River.”
The Flying Fish nodded its head slowly. The emperor had hoped, in other words that hope was very important.
The North River Angel is indeed important, far more important than just a famous comfort woman from a foreign country. Punawarman is believed to have never prayed for any comfort woman.
Until the ships arrived in the fleet attacked the Red Frogs with their fiery arrows. mercilessly making the blaze on the ship even more crazy.
Thousands of arrows were fired back at the Red Frog without anyone trying to stop it. Although it will make the Red Frog sinking instantly with the North River Angel and Cakravarman in it, but no matter how shipwrecked it will go very very slowly in the eyes of martial world warriors.
