Ulong Dagger

Damned creatures

Lieutenant Heidrich and his deputy sergeant Jhon rode into the grass field they had just bombarded.

They entered after the invading infantry force managed to seize the empty land.

They came down from the horse and saw the small field in a state of ravaged poranda.

Here we see large holes in the cannonball. Bodies were scattered, both the bodies of the soldiers and the bodies of the company soldiers.

The smell of gunpowder smoke still smelled quite stinging in the air.

The place where the fighters held a meeting was no longer clear debris shape, a blast hit by a cannonball.

It was seen that some of their troops were helping their wounded comrades, and some others were examining the bodies lying around.

Sergeant Jhon noticed the expression on his leader's face that looked unsatisfied.

"We've won commander" he said trying to calm down.

Heidrich replied without taking his eyes off the small field in front of him.

"Our losses are far greater than the losses they suffered by the sergeant".

John listened silently.

"Weapons, as well as our soldiers, were brought so far from the Netherlands here at such great expense. And you saw for yourself just how simple their equipment is able to keep up with the armament of our soldiers".

"From what I've heard in the last 23 years of this war, the airline has incurred countless costs to overcome this guerrilla resistance without maximum results" Heidrich told his subordinates.

"And our existence here depends whether or not we overcome this resistance. That's the responsibility I'm concerned about as a military officer" Heidrich said.

A young soldier is seen running small towards them.

The soldier stopped before them, saluted and reported.

"Report commander, 11 of our troops were killed, 5 were critical and 23 were lightly wounded".

"Does that include local soldiers?" ask Heindrich.

"The commander" replied the soldier.

"How many enemies were killed and captured?" ask Heidrich.

"The enemy killed 28 commanders, none of whom we captured" replied the soldier.

"Why aren't there any prisoners?" heidrich asked with a huff.

The soldier replied "local soldiers executed some of the commander's surviving victims".

"Call Kesuma here" Heidrich said furiously.

The soldier saluted "Ready" he said and left.

Before long Kesuma or Suma, the former bodyguard of Datuk Indra Sakti, came over.

"Do you understand that we need prisoners for interrogation which would not be possible for us to interrogate the dead?" spray Heidrich as soon as Suma arrived in front of him.

"They killed my troops because they were dying, in vain to capture them" Suma said lightly.

Heidrich seemed dissatisfied with Suma's reply.

"I am in charge here, why are you acting without waiting for my approval?" ask Heidrich.

Suma replied with a grin, "of course I understand that, but this is the battlefield of master, there are things that need to be decided quickly, while you were not seen in the middle of the war giving direction".

Heidrich took a deep breath, not knowing what else to say, he raised his hand to end the conversation.

Suma left them back to her people.

Some of the company soldiers on horseback were seen walking towards them from the North.

"How's it?" heidrich asked impatiently as soon as the soldiers got off his horse.

"All the pursuing cavalry killed the commander, only we are left" said one of them.

Heidrich clenched his hands. Nearly thirty people died that day.

"Damn it, really shit" he said.

⚜️⚜️⚜️

Non-stop Paijo and Siti riding. The surroundings were already dark especially now that they were in the dense forest.

"It's dangerous to drive a horse in the dark like this" Siti thought, she was slowing down the pace of the horse.

As if to know what Siti was thinking, Paijo said "Neng isn't it better if we light a torch?"

"Yes bang, it is dangerous if we drive without lighting" replied Siti.

They came down from the horse and Siti started the fire with a lighter from the rock.

Paijo kept quiet and looked around. Only the sound of crickets is heard here.

Siti lit a torch as a light, "this bang", he said giving Paijo a torch.

"The enemy that was too far away and will not see our torches, which I worry about the enemy sneaking in the dark" Siti said, staring in one direction.

The cicadas stopping simultaneously there indicates that something big enough is passing.

Siti got on the horse and then quietly lowered her head, she tried to listen to make sure where the enemy was.

Paijo looked at Siti who was quietly concentrating, she who did not feel and understood anything was waiting.

It seems like this is what the enemy is waiting for, when things get dark Siti thought.

Siti saw no other possibility than to attack first and then flee the horse as quickly as possible.

"Who were you following us earlier" Siti snapped.

Paijo was shocked because from earlier he did not know they were being followed, he looked into the darkness towards Siti looking.

Siti had ascertained the direction of the enemy, while snapping a bow that was held in the back and quickly pulled out an arrow and shot towards the darkness.

"Jrep", in the dark he heard his arrow hit something.

Paijo sat on his horse watching, the hand holding the torch he thrust forward to illuminate what Siti had darted.

Silent for a moment after Siti fired the arrow, she stared intently at the direction she shot just now.

Strangely, there was no sound of objects falling like an arrow hitting the target he thought.

Then a running step was heard leading to them, Siti and Paijo heard the step through the bushes and leaves.

Siti clasped the horse's stomach with both legs in order to run, she could not be sure how many enemies and who the enemy was, all she could confirm was that the enemy was exposed to her arrows and could still catch up.

His horse jumped and ran, followed by Paijo's horse.

Just a few meters away suddenly Siti's horse in front stopped and raised both front legs high.

Siti almost fell if only she did not hold on tight to the horse's harness.

A figure of a jumping shadow burst out from the leafy grove before them.

Deg. Siti and Paijo's heart almost stopped because of the shock of seeing the creature that appeared before them.

A wolf as big as an ox, with a fur color as dark as night, stood blocking their way.

The wolf grinned, displaying pointy teeth as large as an adult finger. His saliva was seen dripping from the edge of his mouth.

"Apes, what are these creatures" thought Paijo.

His body immediately shivered at the sight of the creature.

An old man who was also spooky sat riding on top of the wolf. The man was tall and thin wearing a white tiger coat.

His face had a scar scraping from his right eyebrow past his nose to his left cheek, like the claw of a savage beast.

"It's great that you beautiful lady can know where we are" he said.

"Hahaha lucky me, the intention of the heart to hunt the irregulars, I never thought to meet an angel as beautiful as this" he said.

"Who are you, old man, and tell me what's your need to follow us?" ask Siti.

"Ooh yeah I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Ki Bayu Ireng".

"My needs, hmm. I want to satisfy orgasm with you, hahaha" Ki Bayu grinned with laughter.

"Ma..Mak..sud you aa..a what sir?" paijo asked tremblingly.

"Stupid, I mean I'm gonna kill you, humans don't matter. After that I will have fun enjoying the body of this beautiful woman" replied Ki Bayu then grinned savagely.

Paijo was drenched in blood hearing that.

He pulled up his horse, he was not angry because he was said to be an insignificant person, what he was angry about was this old man's insolent speech about Siti, furious that he replied, "you old man's insolent mouth, you know, do not you dare to disturb neng Siti ku" he said, regardless of the courage from where it belongs.

Siti stared at Paijo's courage with a shocked look. In such a difficult situation he unconsciously revealed a smile on his lips. It was great that he heard Paijo's words and attitude back then.

"Bang, back off" said Siti slowly.

He knew that Paijo would defend him desperately but there would be no use, the enemy was not an ordinary person, it was certain that Paijo would only waste his life in vain.

Paijo looked at Siti, then as if woken up. He nodded and pulled back the little horse he was riding.

Circumstances are not on their side, the only way is to try to fight back and escape Siti thought.

Only Siti thought so, suddenly "srak, sraaak" was heard twice the bushes were scattered on their right and left.

The creature that just appeared was no less terrible than the previous creature, which was a pair of creatures with the form of a whole wolf, but stood on two legs.

He was as tall as a standing adult. His hand was long similar to a human hand with nails a few inches long out of his fingertips, the color of his fur was also black as the fur of the giant wolf that Ki Bayu was riding.

"Damn, it's no longer possible to escape" Siti thought.

Siti looked at Paijo who looked helpless due to the appearance of two other creatures.

"Why are you guys so silent?" said Ki Bayu grinning.

"We've decided this beautiful lady has fun with me, you'll take good care of me until I'm bored".

"When you, I don't care about you, I promise you a quick death" Ki Bayu looked at Paijo and laughed.
