Not the Novel World
11. Bandit II

Seint's sword movements were extremely fast and beautiful the person who saw it was like seeing someone dancing using a sword.

"AKKHHH." Shouted the bandits.

The bandit's face reddened in anger, he took out a small dagger that was on his waist and threw it at Seint randomly, he said, the daggers can be fended off by Seint using his sword but one last dagger manages to scratch Seint's arm.

Seint focused on seeing a small pouch held by the bandit so that the concentration on the last dagger was dissolved. Before the bandits opened the contents of the pouch Seint quickly kicked the bandit's hand causing the small pouch to fall.

Before the bandit grabbed the small pouch Seint quickly stepped on and shifted to the back of the pouch, unnoticed by the bandits it turns out Seint also swung his sword towards the bandit and pierced the bandit's stomach.

With perfectly round eyes the bandit bled from his mouth to fall to his knees in front of Seint, the bandit fell and did not move again.

Seint opened the contents of the small pouch turned out to be poison powder and he stored it in the waist. He glanced at his troops and ran to help finish the ongoing fight.

The sun began to come out of the contest, the defense forces breathed a sigh of relief because they managed to defeat the bandits. None of the defense forces died but they sustained minor injuries.

"Search all the bases, find the other bandits still alive and take them down." Seint's strict orders.

"Okay, your honor." Say them simultaneously and run in different directions.

Seint also searched and followed by several defense forces, they found many hostages consisting of vulnerable parents to young children and toddlers.

They are all collected in the middle of the field inside the headquarters and will be sent to a place worth living and will be given facilities to support the lives of residents in the future, they also find the treasures obtained by the bandits and Sein plans the treasure he will use to finance the lives of the citizens who are victims of the bandits.

"Thank you, your majesty, you have come and saved us." Said the middle-aged man to Sein while kneeling down.

Seint was still with his flat face and was holding onto both of the middle-aged man's shoulders. "It's my job, now father, mother and children don't have to worry about bandits anymore." Said Sein while raising the man earlier to stand up.

They all smiled happily because they could be separated from the bandits even they cried and hugged each other because the relief was free. When Seint was enjoying the happy scenery suddenly came one of the defense forces.

"Your noble report, the Leader and his ranks are nowhere, according to the information I got from one of the leader's bandits and his ranks now at the headquarters of the capital holding a meeting." Report one of the members.

Seint's face hardened again and clenched his hands tightly, "Immediately prepare the troops so that we immediately meet Artem and send one of the members to the palace to prepare the middle troops, he said, give them the last headquarters point information and tell them not to take a step before we get there." Seint glanced at the citizens who were now still crying and again making a sound. "For the citizens we will hand over to the regional leaders say I wait for the report as soon as possible and for this place to burn all the headquarters buildings to the end there should be nothing left."

The members of the force glanced fearfully at Seint. "How is your noble wound? You better get treated first."

"Let's just relax it's just a small wound, I'll treat it later on down the street" said Sein flatly.

"Okay, your honor." The squad member saluted and turned to do his duty.

°°°

In the middle of the Nania Artem region was worried because the sun had risen but there was no sign of the arrival of Seint. They agreed to meet in the middle of the region if their mission was completed.

Artem even walked back and forth indeterminately waiting for news from Seint once in a while he looked eastward in case Seint gave an emergency sign, he said, he was eager to catch up with Seint to the east but Sein's threat of not involving him with royal affairs for a month made him undo his intention to follow.

One of the defense members ran towards Artem bringing news of Seint. "Report mister, look your highness prince Seint and his army are heading this way."

Artem sighed in relief at the report of his subordinates. "All right."

From a distance Artem saw Seint and his army riding on a horse and moving closer to him standing up. After Seint got off his horse and Artem ran towards him.

Artem bowed respectfully and reported. "The report of the noble headquarters in the south was successfully subjugated and for the hostages and possessions we handed over to the regional leader, they will immediately give you the report and for the headquarters as His Majesty has commanded we have burned it with nothing."

"Good." Seint patted Artem's shoulder.

"Now that we have to hurry towards the capital because the leader and his ranks are at the headquarters of the capital, I have ordered one of the members to prepare for the middle forces because our troops will now be exhausted if we have to keep fighting, I have ordered one of the members to prepare for the middle forces because our troops will now be exhausted if we have to keep fighting, we need to move fast before the news of the headquarters we've been crippling is heard by them." Said Sein firmly.

"Okay, your honor." Artem said respectfully, he greatly admired Seint's assertiveness in acting, Seint would have said a lot if it was about the safety of many people.

Artem accidentally saw Seint's arm scratched by the bandit dagger that had dried up. "Your majesty your arm is hurt please treat it before we leave."

"It's just a small wound." Said Sein while looking at her scratched arm.

"Excuse me, your majesty, please treat him first." Artem kekeh.

°°°

The journey of Seint and his troops took quite a lot of time because the conditions of his troops did not allow to move faster.

The middle troops are ready in place according to the direction of Sein they are just waiting for the arrival of the pangerang to move.

From a distance Seint and his troops were seen approaching the middle troops and stopped right in front of them as he and his troops arrived.

Seint got off his horse and one of the middle members approached him, he lowered his head in salute, "Your noble report on your direction we monitor the movement of the last headquarters of the bandits, he said, for the time being they are holding a meeting to establish a headquarters again on the outskirts of the Apollonia kingdom in the Dasha area, they are having a closed-door meeting attended by the bandit leader and his ranks."

"What about his base situation for now?" Ask Seint.

"For the headquarters guard is not too tight maybe so that their movement is not sniffed but we still have to be alert considering that those who attend the meeting are important people of the bandits." It was clearly a member of the middle forces.

"All right." Seint looked towards the defense forces. "For you to return immediately to the palace and rest"

"Okay, your honor." They said their heads together and then drove their horses towards the palace.

Seint looked back at the middle troops. "We will divide the group into two, one group attacks from the east and one group attacks from the west, don't let them escape one, since the middle army is divided into two squads then my own first squad will lead the attack from the west and and and the second squad will be led by Artem attacking from the east."

"Okay, your honor." Say them simultaneously and take their respective positions.

Seint and his troops moved towards the west of the base, and there were quite a number of guards on guard. With a quick movement Seint advanced and attacked one of the guards with his sword. The battle was dominated by Seint's troops due to the small number of guards.

They moved forward and occasionally attacked the bandits seen along the way, from the center of Seint's headquarters hearing the clanking of swords, he and his troops speeding up their steps towards the source of the sound.

In the middle of the field that is not too wide Artem and his troops are fighting with the bandits. Artem looks overwhelmed against two bandits seen from the way he fought is the leader of the bandits. Seint quickly moved towards Artem and drove away one of the scythe chains that would slightly hit Artem's back.

Seint and Artem's backs touched each other "Thank you, Your Excellency." Artem.

"Be careful." Said Seint flatly and looked intently at the bandit who had the chain scythe.

"Okay, your honor." Artem then went forward to attack the bandits who used the sword as a weapon.

Seint moved left and right and even occasionally he jumped dodging the scythe attacks of the chains from the bandits. The movements of Seint and the bandits are equally agile, several times Seint attacked the bandit using his sword but with nimble the bandit can avoid.

An exchange of attacks is carried out by Seint and the bandits but they can both avoid each other's attacks, respectively, Sein swung his sword even occasionally he kicked and hit the bandit but nimbly the bandit was able to avoid Seint's attack.

"It's also good for your ability young master." Said the bandit while smiling mockingly.

The bandit also did not want to lose he gave a series of attacks towards Seint, he directed the chain scythe towards Seint and made twisting and kicking movements but his attacks can still be avoided.

The bandit pulled out a spare dagger that was on his waist and threw it towards Seint. With the shrewdness Seint can fend off the dagger and rotate his sword so that the dagger that should have hit him turned around and hit the calf bandit.

Not wanting to waste the opportunity Seint swung his sword even though the bandit managed to dodge but Seint's sword scratched the bandit's leg deep enough.

"YOU........" The bandits were angry.

Blindly attacking Seint, Seint occasionally takes a breath because of the bandit's attack. Seeing Seint breathing heavily the bandits laughed out loud.

"You're just lucky enough to hurt my leg, but then you're the one I'm gonna cut a little bit in return." Proudly said.

Seint smiled mockingly at the bandit, seeing Seint's smile anger the bandit increased, "I'll cut your body small and I'll give you a piece of your body to my dog as a tribute to you." He laughed out loud and ran to attack Seint.

Nimbly Seint dodged the bandit's attack, the crescent swing of the chain from the bandit began to weaken giving a gap for Sein to attack, allowing him to attack, while dodging the chain scythe directed towards him Seint twisted his body and swung the sword towards the chest of the bandit and CRACH.....CRACH.....

The sound of the sword hitting the chest of the bandit gave a cross-like mark on his chest, the bandit fell to his knees and with a single movement Sein pierced right into the heart of the bandit.

The bandit fell with blood flowing in his mouth with both eyes still wide open, what a terrible death for those who saw the bandit's last expression.
