Ulong Dagger

No Clutter

"Izin ya Anggu", said Awang reluctantly, he had to tie both hands Anggu Razak forward.

Anggu Razak instead laughed "whatever ananda is, please do, I do not mind for the sake of winning for our rights" he said.

The lady smiled and started to tie.

It does not take long to wrap the rope in the hands of Anggu Razak, because it is only wrapped.

The important thing is to be seen by the enemy Angku's hand as really tied up.

Next stay depends Awang and his two friends play a role.

This is a strategy that Ulong arranged so that they can enter the enemy Post.

"Alright, it's done" Awang said as soon as he finished wrapping the rope into the hands of Anggu Razak.

Unlike him who was tied hands back while pretending to be a prisoner, then on Anggu Razak his hands are tied forward so that he can still hold on to the saddle.

With the help of Mat Kecik, Awang raised Angku Razak to his horse.

"Be careful father" said Mardiani. "Yes be careful Angku" continued Salhah.

Anggu Razak smiled to calm the two girls.

After Anggu Razak rode the horse, Awang and his two friends walked towards their horses.

While Mardiani and Salhah immediately ran to their assigned position, which was hiding in the trees in front of the gate.

"The current Ulong and Laksmi should have already managed to break through" Awang's inner.

He stared at the party for a moment and then began to run his horse.

⚜️⚜️⚜️

They share the task.

Laksmi was tasked with dropping the tower guards on the rear wall with bows and arrows.

After Laksmi drops the rear tower guards, Ulong and Laksmi will enter from behind by climbing the wall with a rope. After disabling the guard of the tower then those who would open the gate from inside should Awang and the others not make it past the guard in front of the gate.

Together they will attack the remaining company soldiers in the compound and free the prisoners.

While Awang, Arman, and Mat Kecik took Angku Razak as captives, they were tasked with entering the post from the front gate.

Or if they fail, then they must kill the gatekeeper.

They moved a few minutes after Ulong and Laksmi attempted to enter from behind.

Mardiani and Salhah each watched the two towers in front, they were ordered to shoot the two front tower guards if there was a commotion inside the compound, or if Awang signaled to attack.

Then the Son was given the task of preparing their horses to the North of the Enemy's post of defense, for them to flee.

⚜️⚜️⚜️

At the rear wall, from a distance of about forty meters in the grove of teak trees Laksmi managed to knock down the two guards in the tower left and right with his arrows.

Twice the archery without missing, and both hit right on the forehead.

After two guards collapsed, Ulong used a rope tied to a dagger, rotated once the rope is stretched about one meter to increase the ejection power and then throw it to the tower pole which is next to the right corner of the wall.

Ulong managed to throw his dagger.

The dagger carrying a rope tied to it glided then circled the pole and wrapped around the pole.

Ulong pulls the rope several times to ensure it is safe to climb.

After making sure the rope could be climbed safely, he looked at Laksmi who was on standby with a bow in hand standing a few meters away from him.

Laksmi nodded gesturing for safety and Ulong climbed up directly using the rope, which was given a lot of knots, very agile without a sound.

After Ulong managed to climb up to the guard tower now his turn to look around and Laksmi who climbed.

From the tower where Ulong stood visible a horse stable attached to the wall to the South.

There were only two horses left.

"It's really quiet here" thought Ulong, as if the company's soldiers were exerting almost all of their strength on the bridge of the Bedera river.

In front of the stables separated by a small two-meter-long alley, there was a not-so-large building measuring about six by five meters.

If judging from its windowless shape and there are only a row of wind holes above, it is likely a warehouse.

The warehouse was the nearest building, separated by a small field from the tower where it was located.

There was a torch set in the middle of the field, it was the only torch that lit up the backyard.

After paying attention to the direction of Ulong just realized, near the torch there are six pillars on the ground.

On each pole there is one person tied, they are tied facing towards the back wall of the warehouse, turning their back to Ulong.

They're all just wearing torn pants over here.

In the light of the torch, their bodies were covered in bruises and whip strokes.

They were silent, not moving, either alive or dead.

Ulong did not want to rush into action, he continued the observation.

On the left side of the warehouse, separated by another alley which is also about two meters away there is another building extending to the North.

Unfortunately from Ulong's place in the guard tower could not see the front of the building.

To look forward also the view is limited, as there is a barn roof blocking.

He saw Laksmi's hand reaching the guard tower wall.

His hand was taken by his lover to help him climb the tower.

After making arrangements from the tower, they descended the stairs to the backyard and approached the men tied to the stake.

Ulong and Laksmi examine the captives who are bound.

Thankfully they were all still alive, two of them were warriors from Binjai.

"We have come to save you, but for a while you keep quiet and say nothing" Ulong said slowly to them.

The prisoners nodded weakly.

Nearby was a bucket filled with water, Laksmi gave them drinks with a dipper located in the bucket.

The prisoners drank the water Laksmi gave them.

As Laksmi gave the captives a drink, Ulong made a small run without sound to move closer to the back of the warehouse wall.

Ulong pops his head into an alley that separates the warehouse with the building extending south.

Ulong pulled himself back into hiding, as soon as he saw the soldier turned to him.

"How's it?" whispered Laksmi who had joined the wall.

"One person is standing right across from the building we are hiding in" Ulong said.

"To drop soldiers in front is very easy. But it is impossible to attack recklessly because we do not know what is in front of this building and the building that extends to the South" Ulong whispered.

Laksmi nodded in understanding.

It is possible that there are other enemies there and will make a noise if they are determined to attack, so lure other company soldiers in this small complex to be vigilant, and abandon their plans.

Laksmi watched her lover's face, waiting, because usually Ulong can always give a bright idea.

"Adinda, get ready" Ulong whispered.

Suddenly Ulong moved to the burning torch, on the raupnya ground near the torch and then pour the ground covering the torch until the fire was extinguished.

After the torch fire was extinguished Ulong pulled Laksmi's hand towards the side of the barn adjacent to the stables.

The soldier who was standing leisurely watching towards the alley saw the situation at the back suddenly pitch black.

There were the steps of his shoes towards the backyard, then there was also the sound of other soldiers reprimanding him.

"What's wrong?" ask the voice.

"It looks like the torch at the back went out, maybe blown off" he said.

The soldier walked towards the extinguished torch.

He unsuspectingly checked the torch.

He pulled out a lighter, and tried to turn it on several times

In the dark visible flint that collided with the iron wheel lighters repeatedly splashed fire but the fire was not also lit.

"Damn it" said the soldier as he shook his lighter.

After shaking it a few times, he rekindled his lighters, this time alive.

He was startled as soon as the lighter came alive and saw Ulong's grinning face within about two meters in front of him.

Ulong quickly approached, "crep!!!", his dagger stuck in the soldier's neck and the soldier collapsed.

There was another soldier's voice coming from the front, "how, how long?".

Because after waiting there was no answer, the soldier who asked walked towards where Ulong was.

Laksmi who was hiding behind the walls of the warehouse tried to listen to the steps of the soldier.

From the sound of his footsteps were two people walking closer.

After successfully knocking down the enemy Ulong still standing there waiting under the moonlight.

He looked towards Laksmi who was gushing her head.

Laksmi gestured with two of her fingers, telling Ulong that two people were coming.

Ulong nodded and prepared with two daggers in hand.

He walked forward so that later the enemy who came was not too far away from him.

Just as Laksmi hinted, two enemy soldiers emerged from the alley beside the warehouse.

The two soldiers once appeared to see Ulong standing still wearing his company uniform, unsuspecting they approached.

The next second they were shocked because they realized there was another soldier lying behind Ulong.

Before they came to their senses and acted, Ulong quickly threw the two daggers right into the left chest of the two.

Without a sound the two company soldiers collapsed in the dark.

⚜️⚜️⚜️

In front of the gate.

Crew and friends by pretending to be exhausted approached on their horseback.

There are two guards in charge of guarding the outside of the gate, both indigenous.

One of the guards gestured to stop, "who are you?" tanya while trying to recognize Awang and friends who are also wearing company uniforms.

"We were seconded to stand guard on the bridge of the river Bedera" replied Awang.

"The patrol commander told us to rest and treat our injuries, as well as to escort the captives we captured" he said.

Both soldiers looked.

They whispered for a while while glancing towards Awang and his comrades.

"If I may ask, what was the name of the Patrol commander who sent you here?" ask the other guard who turned out to be a little smart.

Well this is the worrying part, Awang thought.

Awang speechless, he pretended to remember, face up and then tap the side of the head with his index finger.

It's a signal for Mardiani and Salhah.

The two girls almost simultaneously pressed arrows.

The two tower guards collapsed, one fell out the wall.

The two gate guards were startled and turned towards the fall of the guard on their left.

"Aah yes just remember me, the name of the commander is the angel of death" said Awang chuckled.

"And he will take you to hell" he continued, slashing his sword along with Mat Kecik towards the two guards who were caught off guard.

After the two gatekeepers lay down, Awang approached Anggu Razak to untie him in his hand.

Mat Kecik and Arman from the horse pointed a rifle at the gate, waiting for another soldier to appear.

Mardiani and Salhah remained standing in the darkness aiming with a bow towards the tower, who knew there were other guards going up there.

Previously they had agreed if Ulong did not also open the gate, then they would follow in by using a rope from the front after paralyzing all the enemies there.

There was no sound from inside or outside the fence.

They waited with tense feelings.

Then a few moments later, slowly the gate opened inward causing a creaking sound, then it was seen Ulong standing in the middle of the gate and smiling widely.
