The Red Crystal Kingdom
The Sergeants of Bandits

Soon, dozens of strangers jumped from the bush – bushes and confronted Uzan and his two friends. They were fierce-faced and carried a wide variety of sharp weapons.

“Bandits!” whispered Uzan.

“Oh,” said one of the bandits whose body is the largest among the others, “I guess we will plunder ordinary travelers.”

“We're Lucky, Marko!” said his curly-haired friend, “We found a prince.”

Marko grinned “If we can finish off this prince, imagine how many treasures we will get.”

Uzan, Sara, and Edgar stopped and faced them on standby. Uzan drew his sword. Edgar immediately got on his horse. And Sara immediately retreated a few steps behind Uzan.

Marko smiled. “I can imagine king Endan crying rolled – bolsters when his son lost his life. Isn't that right, Norman?”

“Aside him is a Klerik girl huh?” Norman grinned “Hmmm..”

“Good taste, Norman” Marko chuckles.

“I know you're single, but girls aren't just yours. It belongs to us together. Isn't that right, Dori?” said Norman elbowing a friend beside him. “I mean, what price will the market offer for a Klerik girl if we sell it? Hahaha!”

“That's right,” while drawing his sword, Dori nodded, “It happens once, we have a great advantage haha!

Nimble Edgar immediately went up and spurred his horse while crashing into a flock of bandits.

Bandits – bandits that are starting to split. One of the late dodging bandits stuck a spear until the spear pierced through his chest.

The bandit roared in pain while grasping the spear that stuck in his chest. How many days later he did not move. His life has drifted.

The other bandits felt astonished and slightly stepped back after witnessing the death of his friend in a single strike. Some of them are alert.

“One person has fallen,” Edgar said with a satisfied smile. He pulled his spear back “Three people who were bluffing earlier,” The soldier pointed to Marko, Norman, and Dori with his spear “Are you guys just bluffing?”

The emotions of the three leaders were provoked so they immediately let out anger.

“No need big mouth!” shout Marko “Everything! attack the soldier did not know himself that!”

“Come, horse!” Edgar whispered to the Horse he was riding while gazing around the Bandits “We immediately sort them out.”

Edgar dashed quickly around towards the bandits while turning – turning his spear to hit the bandits who attacked him blindly. Some of the bandits immediately bounced and could not move, some slammed due to Edgar's horse kick, and some immediately decided to escape.

Uzan prepared – ready with his sword. Sara felt a little panicked. But the Klerik girl observed the course of the fight. He opened both his palms. After a while, both of his palms emitted a white radiance.

Sara spread her right hand towards Edgar while concentrating her thoughts on him.

Edgar kept attacking the bandits – bandits who attacked him. Several bandits were killed, but many fled after being hit by the attack. Bandit – other bandits together – the same attack Edgar by blind”

One of the bandits thrust a knife into the man's arm. But Edgar didn't feel what – was. Someone slashed an axe at the man's feet. Until blood flowed from his feet. But Edgar continued to move as if not affected by anything. The wound on his leg healed and closed again. Edgar's horse did too. Already many punctures – stabbing knives and axes – axes that slash the horse. However, Edgar's horse moved as if to follow the rhythm of his rider's movements.

“Sial!” said one of those bandits “This guy is unbeatable!”

“No!” say other bandits “Klerik it!”

One of the bandits turned towards Sara who was guarded by Uzan.

“It's your fault, Marko!” said Norman “We should have directly attacked the prince and brought the Klerik girl!”

“I don't think the Prince is attacking at all” said Dori

Marko chuckles. “Definitely giut because it can not face several people at once”

“Surely he's a coward,” said Dori. “Let's kill that prince!”

“Come!” norman and Marko at the same time.

Dori, Norman, and Marko, looked directly at Uzan and Sara. After which, the three of them immediately ran towards them.

Dori slashed his sword at Uzan. But Uzan fended him off and kicked Dori in the chest until he bounced.

Norman who went straight past Uzan ran to reach Sara while reaching his hand towards Sara, but he fell down because Uzan, after dropping Dori, jumped and kicked her back hard.

Marko slashed his sword towards Uzan but he was able to dodge and slashed the bandit sword so hard that the bandit sword was thrown from his hand. Then he slammed the handle of his sword into the bandit's forehead until he was thrown.

After that, Uzan immediately approached Sara and turned the direction, facing the three bandits.

“You're okay – what, Sara?”

The Klerik girl retreated for a moment. “Not what –, Prince.”

The three bandits woke up again. Marko walked limped – limp to take his sword.

“No We Thought!” norman says “You can serve three people at once.”

“That's how,” Uzan brandished his sword towards the three of them. “You better step aside if you don't want something bad to happen to the three of you.”

“You!” The dori prepared to run towards Uzan. But his steps did not continue because he immediately fell when Edgar slammed his horse into his back until his head hit a tree. He died instantly.”

Edgar and his horse positioned themselves beside Uzan. Facing Norman and Marko who are not struggling.

Seeing Dori's lifeless body, Norman and Marko were immediately aghast. They both face back, finding their friend – comrade has been killed by Edgar.

“Lot the number you say?” Edgar bluffs, “Try saying that again!”

Norman and Marko rewinded their steps slowly, then turned around while running around in – pints.

Edgar prepares to race his horse “Do not run ka—”

“Edgar, Enough!”

Hearing Uzan's handover, Edgar sighed and canceled his intention, “Alright.” He calmed his horse. Then he went down and approached Uzan and Sara.

“We don't have much time,” says Uzan flat. The Prince was still looking at the two bandits who were running down the alley ridge and slowly vanished from sight.

“Sergahan bandit is dangerous” said Uzan “Normally they carry out their duties in groups in the amount of not a few”

“I know they're in trouble. But that's no reason to trouble others,” Edgar said. He felt a little upset. “At least I can finish them off without getting hurt in the least.”

“Maybe you should check on you again, Edgar” said Sara, her palms still glowing.

“Oh yes, I forgot.” said Edgar. He pulled out the knife that was still stuck in his arm. After he threw away the knife, the wound healed as before.

After which, Sara dimmed the light in her palm. He was a little limped and almost fell. But Uzan held his body.

“You're okay – what, Sara?” ask Uzan.

“Nothing – what prince” Sara is trying to stand back while holding her weakened body “Remote healing drains a lot of energy.”

Edgar approached Sara “Hei Sara, I didn't mean to trouble you.”

Sara gasps – . He did not answer.

“No problem, Edgar” says Uzan “We are outnumbered. Thirteen to three. After all, Sara needed some time to rest for a while. Let's continue the journey.”

“Oh, yes” Edgar scratched his head “When I hit the bandits earlier, I saw there was a settlement not far from here. Let's go there!”

“Baiklah” says Uzan.

After that, the Prince and his two friends continued on their journey.
