The Musafir

Swordsman Who Crimped Each Other

A LITTLE bit of Chitra Anggini becomes calmer after being channeled prana energy by Mantingan. Even without hesitation, he returned the young man's hand.

“Are you ready with all the possibilities that could happen later, Chitra?” Mantingan sent a whisper of wind to Chitra Anggini, which at the same time signifies that he wants all conversations to be held secretly, of course with eyes.

Chitra Anggini turned towards Mantingan. It was necessary to raise its head slightly upwards to be able to look into the young man's eyes in such a close distance, for however much the Mantingan was farther away from him.

Chitra Anggini answered using her eyes: I am always ready for the worst.

The mantelan asked again: even to die?

Chitra Anggini quickly replied: I am always ready to die, even if I die at your hands, it will not make me angry.

Mantingan showed his smile: we just hope that all the tasks we can complete tonight anyway.

Chitra Anggini. After all, her eyes went blank, not delivering any kind of message, or in fact the woman had delivered it, but failed to get her point.

The mantan again voiced in a gaze: we can still be friends after all this is over. As long as I can, I will visit you.

Chitra Anggini did not reply, only to turn his gaze back to the front. Staring at the crowd. His hand was not as tight as before.

Manten smiled awkwardly while scratching his head which really did not feel itchy at all. Is it wrong for him to speak?

But in any case, the young man chose to forget about it immediately. There is something far more important to take care of than the feeling of Chitra Anggini who might be hurt right now.

He had almost no planning at all! That's the problem!

It was not that Mantingan was too lazy to devise an intrusion plan into the palace, but indeed he could not be so free to plan. However, he was still in the control of the Dark Lord. The sweet-talking woman who will make all the plans for him, even though until now he does not know what the plan is like from him.

However, Mantingan will not allow himself to not have a backup plan, because he will choose out of his cooperation with Mama Silence if an opportunity comes. Until that time comes, Mantingan should have a really mature planning first.

Kiai Guru Kedai once said to him:

"A stupid bird is a bird that leaps from a tree stalk that it inhabits while it does not yet have the ability to fly."

So while walking towards Kotaraja Palace where the Love Event will be held, Mantingan also thought hard to find the best ways to infiltrate Kotaraja Palace. Unfortunately, Chitra Anggini was unable to help her this time.

***

For example, on the part of the palace walls made as many as five layers with a thickness of each about one fathom, there are also spells of magic trappers and protectors in it. This allowed the palace to survive the attack of ordinary capable troops as well as warriors at one time.

At the top of the fortresses, there are several archer towers as well as a watchtower. The towers were built with a distance of about fifteen fathoms from each other.

The arrows in the entire tower were no ordinary archery that could be held by a single person. It was the size of a pedati wagon, with an extremely long bow. To control it, it required three skilled warriors. One soldier to claw and shoot; one soldier to drive the archery shaft; and one soldier to refill the arrows. Everything should be seiya-sehat.

The guards standing there were no ordinary soldiers. Mantens can see that they are magicians warriors who do not have the ability to carelessly, which of course comes from the Dark Lord Network because only from him are the controllers of the palace magic comes.

On the other hand, the doors of the fort are no less important in supporting security if there is a raid. It is made with a size that is not too big, but also not too small. Its length was four fathoms, and its height was ten fathoms.

The doors are inversely proportional to those on the outer wall of the city, which is deliberately made as big as possible so as not to hinder the passage of traffic. The doors in the castle fortress as if deliberately made as small as possible to resist the speed of the enemy troops if they managed to break down the outer wall.

Looking at all these defenses, Mantingan would be hard to believe if in the future the Koying Kingdom was destroyed due to outside attacks. But if an attack occurs from within, it is no longer an impossibility for the Koying Kingdom to collapse. Isn't that what Miss Darkness wants to do until she traps Mantingan's heart with all her scheming?

The Love Event will be held in the palace's large courtyard located on the third wall layer.

While the two inner circle walls are strictly forbidden for outsiders to visit. It was there where the king, the empress, the concubines, and the people were castrated.

Of course, if you want to enter two walls in the deepest circle, someone must be willing to be castrated and made a servant, he said, even then, there is no guarantee that he will be placed in the Kotaraja Palace and not the palace of other small kingdoms that are in the Conquest of Koying.

Mantingan and Chitra Anggini still walk slowly through the streets that become inter-wall separators. Of course, they must take a lot of time to get to the third wall, because the entrance on each wall is always placed on different corners. The entrance to the first wall is located in the west, while the entrance to the second wall is located in the north. It is a security strategy in an effort to stem the pace of enemy forces that attack in large numbers.

The road that Mantingan is going through at this time can be quite crowded and dense, really not a wearing thing for warriors who have been accustomed to separating distances. Everything feels tense, even Mantingan can also contract the tension.

However, it is quite different from Chitra Anggini who seems calm, although his depression does not decrease in the least. Is it not that the girl feels calm if the Mantingan continues to drain a large amount of energy?

Of course, Chitra Anggini can think clearly far more than other warriors. Of course he realized that none of the warriors wanted to attack him, because it was tantamount to declaring war on the Koying Kingdom.

After all, no matter how angry he is, Chitra Anggini can still breathe calmly when Mantingan is nearby. It is like a mandraguna magic heirloom that no one can defeat!
