8 Goddess of Flower Sanggana
Hard Blood 13: Dark Ambush
*Blood in the Demon Kingdom (Hard Blood)*
King Anjas has warned his entourage to be on standby. They had already started to enter the Maruk Forest. Their horses ran at moderate speed on a forest path that could be called a footpath, so that the horses formed a single row only.
They continued to enter the Maruk Forest deeper. If they could pass through that forest, they would pass through to the Duchy of Banyukuat, the settlement area closest to the Demon Kingdom.
The twilight that began to fall made the forest more dim.
The horse that runs the front is the Devil Tongue Kelu. Uniquely, behind him walked a horse ridden by Joko Tingkir. His position was not due to orders, but his own initiative. Anjas and Queen Sri Mayang Sih let him. While the Demon Tongue Kelu Cuek.
Anjas and Petra Kelana as the two strongest people in the group have begun to feel the nuances of traps.
However, not to mention the two men warned to his entourage, Demon Tongue Kelu was already shouting.
“There's a weird one ahead! Careful bugger!” shouts of Demon Tongue Kelu.
All the compacts stopped the horse's run and looked focused forward.
They all saw darkness ahead. The forest trees are covered in black. The dark atmosphere is getting darker.
“The back is also dark!” shouted Satan Ngompol who rode the most tail.
Some look back. The sight that was quite bright now blackened. There are only sights on the right and left that look at the trees and leaves.
“Attacks come!” yell Anjas loudly.
A dime! A seset…!
From within the darkness of the front there was a rain of arrows numbering in the tens. The black color of nature makes the appearance of the attack almost invisible to the eye, so its nature is surprising.
“Awas, Lisp Girl!” shouted Joko Tingkir while jumping first pouncing on the body of the Demon Tongue Kelu.
All the warriors leaping from the back of his horse dodged the attacks of dozens of arrows. Some dodge so unreachable by arrows. There are also those who avoid, but are still affordable, so they have to do the stalk anyway.
Horses are the target of innocence. They neighed loudly as a number of arrows pierced, forcing them to run wild carrying grievous wounds.
“Ak!” scream Arya Permana, when one arrow stuck through his left arm.
“What are you doing?!” snapped the Stiff Tongue Demon while pushing firmly the body of Joko Tingkir who hugged him in the thickets.
“Saving you!” kilah Joko Eliminate after her body receded as far as one step.
“I'm not a kid anymore!” snapped Demon Tongue Kelu with pretty glaring eyes.
“Attacks come again!” petra Kelana shouted in warning.
A similar attack came from the darkness that was behind. The swordsmen moved nimbly dodging and fending off dozens of arrows that came again. Tembangi Mendayu quickly moved to near Arya Permana and fended off the arrows that came.
More and more horses were injured by arrows and almost all of the horses escaped.
Tembangi Mendayu quickly broke the stem of the arrow on his left arm. Throwing away the trunk of his tail and pulling his head away from Arya's arm.
“Akh!” rintih Arya Permana.
“Close the wound!” tembangi Mendayu orders then he tore the tip of his shirt long enough, but not to make the skin of his body visible.
“Ciaat!” screeched Anjas Perjana while stomping his right arm forward.
Anjas Perjana Langit unleashed the breeze of the Night Storm From the South. Unmitigated, a huge wind roaring violently downed dozens of large trees that were in front of there. The black color of darkness immediately disappeared and saw a ravaged scene, such as after being hit by a tsunami wave. The trunks of the trees were falling apart with the messy soil as a result of being exposed by the free roots.
In addition, in the distance there were dozens of men in black-and-black uniforms with no lives.
“Strike!” shouted someone suddenly, but did not see his form.
Blar blar blar…!
Those who waited for the rain of arrows or the attack of the advancing troops, were shocked. It turned out that the attack was in the form of explosions that occurred at the base of the branches of trees around them. As a result, the attack was only in the form of impaan many branches and tree leaves from the top side.
Tembangi Mendayu quickly pulled Arya Permana's body to the edge, then hurriedly bandaged the wound on Arya Permana's arm so that the blood did not come out much.
“Thank you, Tembangi!” said Arya Permana.
“Hmm!” muttered Tembi Mendayu while smiling sweetly to the handsome duke.
The languishing a little is made to bother avoiding the overflow of branches, because there are many twigs, also many leaves.
At that moment, dozens of people in black-and-black uniforms appeared from various directions, except from the direction that Anjas had destroyed with the wind of his punch.
“Seraaang!” shouted those who ambushed it. They were the Dark Murk Army commanded by the Dark Demon.
They attacked while the warriors were busy dodging and straddling the randomly fallen branches.
“Great, their presence can not be so felt by us!” anjas told Queen Sri Mayang Sih. He was always by the queen's side, showing her maleness as a protector.
“They are special forces,” said Queen Sri Mayang Sih while welcoming the attack of an attacker.
“You guys, protect yourself, there I protect the Queen!” anjas orders the Five Princes Two Princesses, who have since positioned themselves around Queen Sri Mayang Sih.
The Kinky Prince who was the leader of the Five Princes Two Princesses, gave a nod to his six comrades. After that, they were free to fight without thinking about his queen.
Those special forces had quite a high capability compared to ordinary soldiers. They can fly here. Although their individual abilities were still below those of the warriors, but their large numbers made the warriors have to struggle a little.
King Anjas really protects Queen Sri Mayang Sih. With deep strength in both hands, Anjas becomes a rotating shield for the queen, making the beautiful adult woman feel pampered.
All the sword attacks from the people dressed in black-black no one could touch Anjas and Queen Sri Mayang Sih. The slashes were only up to one inch from Anjas' hand when he was fended off. The power in making the sword eye restrained to touch the skin of Anjas.
When it comes to attacks from the other side targeting Queen Sri Mayang Sih, Anjas will nimbly switch places and fend off. It was as if Anjas was on each side of Queen Sri Mayang Sih's body.
Not only fending off, Anjas also counterattacked. Tangkis, attack, tangkis, attack, so is the rhythm of the battle song.
For Petra Kelana or the White Tongue Prince, there was no need to doubt. While crashing, he can fight casually. It doesn't move much. Only his hands moved here and there. Ordinary swords did not apply to his skin.
The tep! Ting! The set!
“Aaak!”
His bare palm caught the two swords that came attacking. Then the two iron blades were broken easily. Next, the piece of the sword tip was blasted killing its own master.
Two more slashes came, with the young he caught and then pulled, making the two sword owners also attracted more familiar with Petra Kelana.
Tubs!
Once close, it was then hit by a violent deep energy blow, crushing the chest cavity. (BH)
