Swordsman Without Friends
Behind the bamboo caping

Hearing the beggar mention the name of the beggar's association 'Babang Ireng' made some people jerked, because except for the Panduren villagers who were never involved in the affairs of the jungle, the security jogoboyo and the members of the Taring Brongot robbed a little bit already heard about the Ireng Centipede beggar association which reportedly is a fragment of the 'Red Snake' beggar association' it is based in the suburb of the Majapahit king.

''Bah Ngawur., this area is empty without any ruler, anyone is free to look for targets here. you only control the Rumpingan area., so since when the beggar gathering of the Ireng Centipede can roam up here.?'' sangkal Ki Kedung Rambak was astonished to be mixed with anger.

''Of course since we lost our vice-leader of the society who was nicknamed the Beggar Tooth Gompal.he was killed almost two weeks ago..''

''Chuiih., although we have also heard about the incident, but what has it to do with the Taring Brongot gang.?'' ki Kedung asked Rambak exasperatedly while spitting.

''Huh., it's very close, because according to the news we got, your group was involved in the murder of our vice chairman.it could even be you and you are the culprit.!'' accuse the beggar who claimed to be from the Ireng Centipede beggar's association.

"Crazy accusation, if you are just a stupid and crazy bum to dare to accuse without proof.!" geram Ki Kedung Rambak while trying to find out who is the person behind the wide bamboo caping but has been thinned edges.

"Silent you begal dog., there will be no smoke if there is no fire. The news that has been spread outside must be because there is evidence..''

''Because it doesn't matter whether you admit it or not, today the Taring Brongot gang will be destroyed.!'' snapped the bum while slamming his wooden stick to the left right side beating the stomach of two members of the gang that surrounded him.

The wooden stick attack is done quickly and suddenly.the target is also the later part and the head of the opponent that is difficult to protect.even if only a stick of wood, which is also the target, but if it is reflected in the power of magic makes it not much different from an iron rod.

'Whuuk., whuuk., Dheess.!'

''Aakh, aukh.!''

The two bodies had already toppled over, but the attacks continued to flow nonstop, with the right foot a step forward, forward, the beggar who claimed to be a member of the Beggar's association Ireng Centipede back to the end of his stick to the face of Ki Kedung Rambak who was still stunned.

''Satan alas., Hell.!'' maki vice-chairman of the Taring Brongot gang was nervous. with fear he jumped back until he forgot to take back his long machete that still fell on the ground, but a man is back to being a victim.!

The presence of these bamboo-clad beggars makes the fighting spirit of Jogoboyo and the villagers of Panduren become awakened.led by Ki Raga Many of them again try to urge the opponent.

On the contrary, the members of the gang robbed Taring Brongot increasingly hilarious and discouraged.the style of the wooden stick played by the beggar in dark clothes seemed to be only one style and always repeated. this should be very easy to deal with, but strangely they are always the victims of the simple-looking beggar's walking stick.

Hordes robbed Taring Brongot where ever knew if in one style of the stick there were more than ten children of a very frightening style.not to mention the whip weapon clasped in his left hand, but the, once the whip wipes the opponent's skin must have been ripped apart with a mouth wound blue marks of poisoning.!

''Aaaarkh., Aaakh.!''

''Aakh., Ampuun., toloong.!''

The screams of death and the cries of mercy from the begal rattled among the clanking of weapons. some people began to intend to run away including Ki Kedung Rambak who felt his arms began to heat and blue swell after being hit by a whip that is said to be named 'Kelabang Ulet' it. but just a few steps running Ki Raga Many have hunted.

Although before escaping he still had time to take back his long fallen machete, but in front of Jogo boyo's head the weapon was not much use.even though the same wounded but the guts of the fighter had disappeared changed in fear. only three moves he was able to survive, before finally a stab in the stomach ended his history.

Now there are only three surviving members of the mob wounded and terrified as the refugees from Panduren village are about to stoning them, a loud cry is heard holding them back.

''Stop right now, the three of them are mine. Anyone who dares to argue will I finish.!'' threaten the beggar with the bamboo ringing.as soon as the residents fell silent stop the invasion.

For the first time the beggar lifted the front of the bamboo caping that covered his face.now seen the look of the beggar.Seaut cold face that pale mustache, minced and black bearded. at first glance this person is in his fifties.

''Tell your leader, soon we from the beggar 'Ireng Branch' will come to avenge the death of the vice-chairman of the 'Gompal Tooth Beggar' you have killed. at the same time also take back the magic stone 'Blue Nirmala' that you took.!''

''Now I want next to the ears of the three of you, quickly do it before I change my mind want life.!'' the beggar snapped his wooden stick to the ground.

There is no other way, by screaming restrained the three.cut his own left ear.and run away by carrying wounds and pain mixed with grudge.

The beggar turned around and slowly stepped towards the pedati wagon where Ki Lurah Tanuradi and his family were. Supala whose body was also injured due to the fight immediately blocked.

''I was just about to meet the girl who had given me food. So don't make simple matters difficult.'' said the beggar coldly. Supala felt hesitant, but Ki Lurah Tanuradi and his daughter's wife named Sulindri had gone out of the carriage.

''It's okay Supala., just let that beggar pal come here..''

''Yes, besides, this beggar brother has helped us to repel the Taring Brongot gang of robbers.'' said Ki Lurah and his wife with a smile. while Sulindri had even walked to the beggar.

''Well, I didn't think that the beggar uncle had high silat. fortunately uncle came to help until we were all safe.thank you beggar uncle.'' said the carefree girl, without awkwardness he grabbed the beggar's hand, but this fellow quickly moved backwards.

''Sorry young girl, my hands and body are dirty. I just came here to thank you for giving me food when my stomach is starving..''

The beggar then menjura respect. when he was about to step away he pointed at Supala.

''The young man was ordinary, but he had courage and loyalty. many times injured by the opponent's machete but he kept trying to defend and protect the lives of the residents especially those who were inside this carriage..''

''Such a young man can be relied upon as a life support and shelter for women.'' said the beggar then turned and stepped away.

Supala was stunned to hear that remark.she only realized when a delicate hand held her. ''Let Supala let me treat your wounds.'' said Sulindri smiling sweetly. his eyes glimpsed at the beggar who passed away with his steps that were shaken like a worm was crawling.the right foot stepped the left was dragged following. when seen the step felt ugly and laughable, strangely, no one dared to laugh at him.

The beggar had gone a long way.Somewhere he stopped walking and took off the bamboo caping that covered part of his face. armed with a wooden stick, he had killed more than five members of the Brongot Taring Horde using the style 'Polishers Prying the Door of the Invisibility Realm.!'

Strange moves that can be used with the fingers of an empty hand or using a cane that only consists of one course, but actually has dozens of fragments of children deadly style.sakti parents nicknamed 'The angel Copet' who had taught him.

The beggar's right hand scooped his moustached face a bit of a brewokan. The mustache and beard of the hitampun was dislodged, now he turned into a pale, sickly young man with a striated batik headband wrapped around his forehead and his black hair.

It had been almost three weeks since he came out of one of the secret headquarters of the 'Maling Lightning' thief society which was not far from the upper reaches of the Wareng river.

Along the way he had heard about the cruelty of the Taring Brongot gang who targeted the property of the villagers. a sneaky thought occurred when accidentally the homeless young man named Pranacitra caught the movement of the raiding party who targeted the property of refugees from Panduren village.

Coincidentally this morning he had met with the refugees.even a beautiful and kind village girl also gave him a packet of food.

The Whip of the Ulet Centipede belongs to the Beggar of the Gompal Teeth, according to the story, the Angel Copet was deliberately brought along because the old man needed it to research what toxins are contained so that it can be made antidote. that's why Pranacitra can survive the venom of the Whip of the Ulet Centipede belonging to the Beggar Gompal Teeth.

The young man threw the whip away, along the way he had also spread the news that the Beggar Gigi Gompal died at the hands of a horde of thugs robbed Taring Brongot. the Blue Nirmala poison-destroying magic stone has also been seized by them.Even to pit these two evil groups, the young man to pay some beggars to help spread the news.

The day had gone by dusk, the sun began to lean toward the west. orange rays dotted the sky. in the distance saw the peak of Mount Welirang that reflected the smoke, according to the Angel Copet, in the distance, behind the mountain is said to be a hidden place that is very rarely known by outsiders.a forbidden and very dangerous place called 'The Thousand Poisons Valley.!'
