The King of the Sword King
THE East Gate (i)

  Peace City was the Biggest City in this Magical Beast World. The area of this city, roughly three or even four times the area of Great City Yongheng - one of the largest and grandest cities in the entire Silver Continent, its location in the Central Plains of the Continent.

   This city of peace is guarded and surrounded by fortresses, and has four main gates, besides of course other small doors arranged by the city council. It needed a fortress surrounding the city that was closely watched by the four main clans, due to the existence of the City Lord who became the envoy of the Bijuu, hostile to the White Tiger Clan, and, so the City Lord took the Peace City seriously to keep the city safe from the actions of the White Tiger Clan spies.

   In accordance with the existence of the Four Wind Eyes Clans, so the guarding arrangement at each gate is also assigned to be guarded and supervised by special forces or soldiers who are part and member of their respective clans. 

   The North Gate is guarded by special soldiers from the Gold Mage Clan, or the Yelbeghen Clan (Klan of dragon descent). The East Gate is guarded by soldiers from the Eastern Ghost Clan (Klan the Ghouls).  The South Gate was guarded by the Tengu Clan's hired soldiers, as most of the members of this clan had never appeared themselves in the crowd. And the last one was the Murong Clan (Qilin ) who guarded the city's Western gate.

***

   The day began to crawl into twilight as the desert breeze blew, neither cold nor hot - which made the guards at the eastern gate of the City of Peace begin to stumble. The combination of wind-blown heat, carried away from the Walapra Desert, plus the breeze, is indeed imperceptibly will anesthetize and make the eyes want to be closed.

   Zelk and Regdos were two members of the Eastern Ghost Clan on duty that day. Both of them had indeed been engulfed in a deep sense of boredom during the vigil at the East Gate. The reason for that was because since the morning, only two passersby had entered the City of Peace through their East Gate.

   They know for sure, there are indeed a lot of crossers from inside and outside who come and go to the city of Peace every day. But why on this day, only two people entered the city and passed through the eastern gate guarded by this Eastern Ghost Clan? They felt suspicious that many people who came to visit the City of Peace, chose to enter through the northern gate guarded by the Golden Mage Clan, or through the south guarded by the Murong Clan.

   That they calculated carefully, if the passers took another path turning to avoid the east gate - they decided to take the path or pass through the west gate guarded by Tengu Clan soldiers, it's something that's impossible.

The gate of the Tengu Clan or Kotengu was only bordering the wilderness and also ancient cemeteries, even close to the city arena inhabited by evil creatures Nekomata. There was no way the passers-by would attempt a western path that no one had ever attempted - except for the fighters who were about to fight in Aren City.

"I suspect that the two clans, the Murong Clan and the Golden Witch bribed the passers-by, perhaps even charging a very small fee, so that all travelers felt comfortable and chose to go through the gate they were guarding, rather than our east gate" Zelk said in a jealous tone.

   While opening a little cloth like a veil that covers his face Redgos follow along adding heat like a hot stove that will burn his friend.

"Are we going to report to the commander, or are we going to tell the young master directly?" ask Redgos, provoke.

   What this young master meant was Lebiru Mao, the only son of the Eastern Ghost Clan Patriarch called Patriarch Sigg Mao. Rules in their clan, although all clan members can take names from famous ghosts or demons, but all are not allowed to use the name of the clan Mao. 

   The only ones who were entitled to use the Mao clan (just like the demon race in the Silver Continent) were only the Patriarch and his descendants, who were considered pure-blooded.

   Redgoz knows, Lebiru Mao the Junior Patriarch, is good friends with Zelk, because Lebiru Mao is in a love relationship with Zelk's sister named Shukani.

   Redgos the keeper knows well, Lebiru Mao is one young master who has a very short wick, meaning he is a figure who is very easy to sulut his anger, he said, even just by the word unimportant and unfounded.

"I'll consider your advice.

   It is likely that later I will ask my sister Shukani, to seduce Lebiru Mao to make a fuss against the Murong Clan and that Gold Mage Clan" Zelk said. He added..

   I saw dozens of fat sheep walking towards us" Zelk said with a sly smile. He then corrected his black clothes, covered his cruel face with a black veil, his attitude now changed to sangar.

   As if awakened from the reverie, Redgos gazed in the distance there, on the edge of the Walapra Desert, a cloud of dust accompanied by the motorcade of camels and chariots. His lips then formed a large arch, the smile was engraved behind his black veil. Redgos was relieved.. 

"Finally after half a hot day, our potential prey came by itself without being asked..

   The sustenance will not run pursued." Inner Redgos.

   From a distance they saw no less than ten carriages of chariots, along with horse and camel convoys carrying at least fifty people in them.

   Getting closer to the motorcade, the two soldiers of the Eastern Ghost Clan then brandished a machete in their hands intentionally, making the light of the sun fade apricot color mixed with brown wheat that reflects orange color but still blinds the eyes - that means the cleaver is very sharp because it shimmers.

   Fiercely Zelk and Redgos stood up shouting out loud words, asking the leader of the convoy to come out and meet them. A smooth-faced, extremely polite and handsome-looking man walked out of the carriage, approaching the two soldiers in a very polite manner.

"Ah. Apparently the two Lords of the Eastern Ghost Clan.

   My name is Baroma Lam.. We are the World Wandering Art Group, who will be performing at the event enlivening the four Clans Night Hunt Event..

   Please leniency gentlemen make it easy for our art group to enter the City of Peace freely"

   Smooth speech, and the Baroma Lam movement is also very fast. After the man bowed in salute, he quickly slipped a bag of pink Elixir into the hands of Zelk, who from the very beginning had acted up and shown as if he was the leader between the two of them.

   Zelk's breathing was sort of stifled when he glanced at the large amount of pink Elixir within the pouch. He estimated the number must be more than enough to compensate or tribute the number of fifties members of the art group, after deducting the fee for their Eastern Ghost Clan. Zelk's heart was filled with immeasurable joy. But Zelk tried to be fierce, so that Mr. Baroma Lam did not see the glow of pleasure and cunning smile on his lips.

   Despite this, Redgos glanced with jealousy and deep feelings. He knew, not one bit Zelk it would divide the excess tribute that Baroma Lam gave to his partner. Redgos immediately thought quickly, looking for what loopholes he should have placed on the group, and asking for more tribute.

   With an overbearing heart Redgos had to recant, when Zelk allowed the art group to pass through the giant gate at the East Gate of the City of Peace.

"Wait.wait a minute !" zelk Inward Apparently this cunning Ghoul had seen a small gap that could be used to charge over the art group's convoy.

"You are the biggest man. Try to get rid of the large cloth covering your body" Shouted Redgos holding back the motorcade, while pointing towards Peci the Griffin
