8 Goddess of Flower Sanggana
Rajungan 18: Wrong Choose the Prey
*The Secrets of the Howling Gorge (Configuration)*
The night is getting late. The camp of the empresses of the Lesser Sanggana Kingdom was completely deserted, it seemed like all the residents had fallen asleep due to the effects of the tiring journey. No one seemed to be watching. Maybe because the location is protected by bamboo forests and small rivers, so the tent residents feel safe.
There was no light of the fire, except for the remaining embers of the campfire. Only the moonlighting in the clear sky gives a little light.
However, within the stillness that left the faint sound of water flow and the movement of bamboo leaves that were blown by the night wind, there was the movement of many people without a sound.
The men dressed in black moved around the camp, except from the river. They were many, maybe more than fifty people. They were armed with a stick that at the end was round ball. The darkness of the night did not clearly reveal what their staff was made of.
They seem to be shrewd. Their steps on the dried bamboo foliage could not make a sound. There was a sound, but it was so faint.
Out of those dozens of people, there was one person leading the movement. She was a woman dressed in black. Well-favoured. He was the Thousand Shadow Demon, the Thousand Hand Demon fellow who nearly killed Princess Bead Sari.
For a moment he signaled with his right hand for all movement to stop. The sign was quickly imitated by a few people so that everyone could know the mark. They all sat in a position that had surrounded the ten camps. Tense atmosphere.
In that situation, a squirrel ran down from a bamboo tree, then ran towards one of the tents.
Knowing that the voice he heard was the movement of a squirrel, the Thousand Shadow Demon then signaled a moving order.
Without shouting, suddenly they all ran silently towards the tents.
Zersse!
Kiiik!
At the moment when everyone was running ready to jump over the ten tents, suddenly they were all startled by the appearance of a huge creature of red light. The creature, which was a bird but dragonfly winged, broke into the middle tent to burn. While the creature flew straight into the low sky then swooped down profusely back down.
“Munduuur!” the Thousand Shadow Demon shouted to all those under his command.
Hurried dozens of the stick men ran backwards instead of turning around and running away. They retreated while still looking at things that they had never imagined.
Bress!
The red winged dragonfly ray bird snatched all the roof of the tent when it got below. The ten tents were burned by the touch of the Sky Eye Ring inhabitant belonging to Empress Tirana.
The thrilling sight made the ambushers who failed the intention so inexhaustible. Why are all the tents set on fire?
The atmosphere in that place was changed brightly by the light of fire from the burning tent.
Wess!
“Hiaat!” pekik Empress Kusuma Dewi suddenly jumped out from inside one of the burning tents.
Kusuma Dewi's leap directly attacked an ambush with a sword instantly raised high.
“Hah!” shock randomly selected black-clothed men become prime targets. It's not ready.
Bseti! The set!
Kusuma Dewi who appeared in all white clothes, had already slashed his sword in the air, from top to bottom. The thin white ray curvature instantly split the body of the black-clothed man who was the target.
The next shock, from within the middle tent that was struck by a red ray creature, darted the figure of a beautiful woman dressed in dark red. The figure that was Tirana soared up straight into the air. At that moment, a red-light creature flew into Tirana.
The incident was so flabbergasted by the attackers as well as a bad address.
“Sial! Looks like I got the wrong prey!” maki the Thousand Shadow Demon was so riled up to herself.
Another woman dressed in all white again shot from inside one of the tents engulfed in flames. She is Empress Jang aka Empress Yuo Kai. He landed near three men with sticks.
“Serakkh!” shouted one of the men with the stick. However, his shout that meant commando to attack, did not pass perfectly.
Bluk bluk!
With a small movement, Yuo Kai only stomped his two hands. Then the three men could only glare and were already without life anymore. Their bodies suddenly moved apart from the rest of their limbs, then fell scattered in a mutilated state full of blood.
Yuo Kai had used the science of Silk Fibers that was barely visible and not felt, but as sharp as a razor blade.
Furthermore, from within the other tent that was burning back out flashed a dark green-clad figure. The Empress Kerling Sukma. He attacked two men with sticks.
Buk buk buk!
Too fast movement Kerling Sukma. The two people he attacked did not twitch like a fist samsak. The two men fell with bones in their bodies.
The figure of the woman dressed in red following darted out from inside the burning tent. Empress Sri Rahayu directly attacked the three men with sticks. The three men did not have time to fight until Sri Rahayu's hands first poked the faces of their dead candidates.
In a short time, the poison from Sri Rahayu's hand instantly made the three men convulsing with bulging eyes. They fell down along with the blackened skin of his face, mouth and nose giving off dark blood. Then all three were killed by Sri Rahayu's skin poison.
“Hihihi..!”
The black-clothed woman quickly jumped back a bit.
“Hihihi..!” sandaria's laughter, which just landed, did not attack.
“Strike!” yell Kerling Sukma.
The group of ambush led by the Thousand Shadow Demon was again taken aback. They all looked up at the dark leaves of the bamboo tree.
The command of Kerling Sukma was followed by the jumping of dozens of people from the top of a dark bamboo tree. A total of seventeen people who were Flower Guards, went on a rampage attacking dozens of stick-wielding people.
So there was a lively fight because there was resistance from the people with sticks.
On the way to the Lolongan Gorge, Prabu Dira Pratakarsa Diwana aka Joko Calm went with Empress Mata Hati without anyone's escort. Then the other six empresses departed with the entire Flower Guards Army.
The seventeen warriors who became Flower Guards were among them:
1. Dipa Mutual
2. Nyi Mut
3. Surya Kasyara aka Crazy Drunk Swordsman
4. Sugigi Asmara
5. Tangpa Sanding's
6. Dewdrops
7. Pore Legam
8. Semai Lena aka Silver Wing
9. A Clutch
10. Sumi aka Gendang Tepuk Squat
11. Tharrows Taboo
12. Gemara
13. Blind Banging
14. Latitude Salaksa
15. Warok Pool
Bo Fei
Chang Chi Men's
A fierce battle ensued. The empresses let the Flower Guards Army fight, they were just the opening act.
During the day, the queen's entourage was monitored by the Jago Sodok Group led by Pendekar Bola-Bola. It was concluded that the large group of alleged common warriors was very dangerous, because they saw five large wolves as mounts for five women. While Tirana chose to ride with the fifteen Flower Guards.
With regards to the Ball-Ball Swordsman and the Blue Snake Battery there was another task, so the Thousand Shadow Demon was appointed to lead dozens of Sodok Jago Group members into an impromptu ambush. It was this group that previously controlled the Duchy of Kelang with its rebellion. However, they did not have time to meet with Empress Kerling Sukma in the Duchy of Kelang, because they first went to Lolongan.
It turned out that their ambush movement was read from far away. The problem in the company of the empresses was that there was a blind man. Sandaria's sensitivity is so high can feel the presence of many people who move around their camp.
Knowing that there were parties who wanted to attack, Yuo Kai immediately set up a surprise scheme. (BH)
