The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
Woro and Wati

****

Two women dressed shabby as villagers galloped through the thickets of a sharp thorny shrub among the lush trees that grew in the eastern forest of Pakuwon Ngrowo. The dull black rompongs they were wearing had been torn into thorns unheeded by them. Also, the scratches of many wounds adorn their feet as if they are not felt. There's something more important than that. Their own lives.

"Come on, Woro!

We must get away from this place immediately!! Otherwise, they will chase and catch us!", said a crazy young woman wearing only a shabby dark-brown kemben. Actually, he was carrying a sling, but the cloth had fallen somewhere.

The younger girl beside him tried hard to regulate his breath which was boring because he had run for quite a long time. The young girl who was called by the name of Woro continued to hold the hand of the crazy girl was so afraid of him.

"Hosshhh hooosshh.. I-iya Kangmbok Wati, ki-we must immediately move away from this cursed place", said Woro while trying to compensate for the movement of Woro's body which is lighter than him.

"Those bastards shouldn't be able to catch up with us, Woro..

We can stop at the edge of this forest. Ayo Woro.", said the beautiful woman of crazy body while continuing to hold the right hand of Woro. Both of them rushed east.

As soon as he reached the edge of the forest, Wati immediately stopped her steps. Coincidentally not far from where he was, there was a large banyan tree with leafy leaves and roots dangling down. Wati invites Woro there to take shelter as well as rest after running almost twice when cooking rice.

On top of a large rock, the two sat their achy buttocks after running for long enough.

"The Lord Vishnu..

Finally we survived Kangmbok Wati. Fortunately the soldiers of the Karang Anom Duchy did not have high martial skills so we could get away with it easily", Woro breathed a long breath. Although her body felt tired after draining her energy, the woman breathed a sigh of relief because she escaped death.

"We mustn't let our guard down, Woro..

If the officers are hunting us, it's hard for us to escape them. I still can't calm down if we haven't crossed the Kapulungan River" Wati said as she continued to circulate her gaze around the place. He's very alert.

"You're absolutely right Kangmbok..

We must be able to cross the Kapulungan River to report our observations on Gusti Tumenggung Landung to be followed up immediately", replied Woro while wiping the remaining sweat that soaked his cheek.

"Have you been a little tired, Woro? We must not linger here", Wati stood up from her seat.

"Kangmbok Wati..

Let's immediately resume our journey", said Woro while following the steps of his old brother.

Yes, Woro and Wati are members of Kotaraja Daha special forces who served as spies under the leadership of Tumenggung Landung under the name Lowo Bengi Forces. In recent years, Tumenggung Landung recruited many young women to join the special forces. They are generally infiltrated into the palace of the region suspected of rebellion or around the place that became the hideout of the rioters.

This full moon, after the attack on the Katang-katang Palace by the Duke of Arya Natakusuma, followed, Prabu Jayengrana ordered Tumenggung Landung to deploy members of the Lowo Bengi Forces group in the area around Kotaraja Daha in case something happens that could threaten security. Also to some of the Duchy Palace around Kotaraja Daha to know everything that happens inside the palace of their respective regions. And this seems to be proven true.

Woro and Wati, members of the Lowo Bengi Troop assigned to the Karang Anom Duchy, heard the existence of kusuk kasak circulating among the people of Karang Anom Duchy about the existence of war exercises hidden behind east Pakuwon Ngrowo forest. The two immediately disguised themselves as firewood-seeking village girls to fool everyone's eyes. After several times checking each place in some forest in the eastern region of Karang Anom Duchy, he said, finally, after an uphill struggle, they both found the location of the war training ground prepared by the Karang Anom Duchy to storm into Kotaraja Daha according to the wishes of Mpu Gandasena, who was in charge of the Duchy of Karang Anom, the former Dharmadyaksa ring Kasaiwan was demoted to the rank after the raid of Duke Arya Natakusuma of the Duchy of Bhumi Sambara Mataram.

But unfortunately, Woro and Wati were even in pergoki by the soldiers who served as food delivery until they were forced to flee after being surrounded by hundreds of soldiers. They both managed to escape from the pursuit of the soldiers of Karang Anom Duchy and finally arrived at that place.

Not even 30 steps they left under the shady banyan tree, suddenly appeared some people who were wearing officer clothes from the opposite direction.

"So apparently here you are hiding" said one of the few officers Karang Anom soldiers while smiling cynically at Woro and Wati.

"A-what does Ndoro mean Warrior? Slave ti-do not understand.", replied Wati conspicuously to trick them.

1 Juru-ranked army officer and 2 Bekel-ranked men and two army squad heads glared wide at Woro and Wati.

"Don't act like a fool, hey spies!!

I know that the two of you are not ordinary village girls. If you are really just a village girl, you will not be able to run fast until you reach this place with a short time. Quickly tell me, who are you and tell me what you already know about our training ground?", hardik the middle officer of the rank of interpreter named Wibisana was loud.

Woro and Wati looked at each other for a moment as if talking even though no sound came out. Wati advanced a step closer to them while Woro quietly felt the hilt of the whip coiled around the waist.

"Ndoro Warrior misunderstood..

We were just village girls searching for firewood who got lost until we got there. Please Ndoro Warrior do not mind it and let us go. We promise we will never tell anyone about the things we see" Wati said humbly despite not sounding the slightest tinge of fear in her speech.

"Basic stubborn spy!!

Bekel Pranata, Bekel Gayam.. Also you soldiers of the Karang Duchy of Anom, summing up the two spying women either alive or dead!!", the Wibiscan order immediately.

"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Juru.!!", the four men immediately rushed to besiege Woro and Wati.

"How is this Kangmbok Wati?", asked Woro immediately.

"Bail responsibility. Their opponents are as good as we can", Wati replied as she pulled out a pair of small dagger blades that were behind the shabby cloth on her waist quickly.

Two soldiers of the Karang Anom Duchy first charged forward towards Woro and Wati while blasting their swords respectively.

Shhrreeettthhh shreeeeetttthhh!!

Woro immediately pulled his whip and fended off the sword by holding both ends of the whip made from the skin of this ox. While Wati jumped to the right side until her opponent's sword slash only swept through empty air.

Woro immediately twisted his body quickly while throwing a hard kick towards the stomach of the Karang Anom warrior.

Auuggghhhhh!!!

This soldier immediately strayed back and fell. Woro quickly whipped his whip that was about 3 fathoms long into the opponent's neck.

Whuugggh..

As soon as the neck of this Karang Anom warrior had been entangled in his whip, Woro with all his might pulled him towards her. Wati who had just dodged his opponent's sabre, directly thrust his small dagger towards the stomach of the opponent Woro.

Jllleeeeeeppph..

Aaaarrrgggghhhhh!!

The Karang Anom warrior screamed loudly. As Wati plucked her little dagger from her stomach, the soldier immediately staggered to the ground. He died with his intestines unraveled. Seeing that, his friend attempted to take revenge by slashing his sword towards Woro's neck.

Brreeeeetttthhh!!

Woro immediately tracked the ground by violently avoiding the saber of the Karang Anom warrior. This caught the soldier's body defenseless and Wati quickly moved a little low while stabbing the soldier's waist from the side.

Achreeppppppph!!

Auuggghhhhh!!!

Furious that his subordinates were killed easily by them, Bekel Pranata immediately threw a hard kick towards the back of Woro who had just landed on the ground. Woro was not ready until a hard kick right leg Bekel Pranata pounded his back.

Dhhaaaasshhhhhhh..

Oouugghhhhhh!!!

Woro immediately slumped forward. Wati who tried to help immediately got a quick snapshot of Bekel Gayam's sword that was after him.

Shhrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeetttth!!

Thhrrriiiiiiinnnggg!!

Wati immediately fended off the saber of Bekel Gayam's great sword with her small dagger while jumping backwards. A fierce one-on-one fight soon ensued.

Rrrrrrrrrr!!!

Whhhuuugggh..

Thhrrriiiiiiinnnggg!!

Wati and Woro fought hard against Bekel Pranata and Bekel Gayam. It seems that the ability of the two low-ranking officers from the Karang Anom Duchy is balanced with Woro and Wati. Dozens of moves have passed, Woro and Wati have drained a lot of his energy as well as their opponents Bekel Gayam and Bekel Pranata.

The Wibisana master secretly cast a spell of study that he had and immediately smashed his red-colored right palm towards Woro and Wati.

Whhhuuuuussshhh!!

Woro immediately mobilized all his energy in his to withstand the support of the attack from the Wibisana. Wati immediately helped his friend by channeling his inner energy on Woro's back.

Bllaaaaaarrr!!!

A loud explosion was heard at that very moment. Woro and Wati bounced far back and suckled the ground hard. Both of them immediately vomited fresh blood. Seeing that, Bekel Pranata and Bekel Gayam immediately grinned widely while removing the sweat that soaked his forehead.

"Thank you for the help Gusti Juru", said Bekel Pranata immediately.

"Basar wasn't good at taking care of two spies, still trying to find face..

Quickly catch them, don't waste time!!", snapped the Wibisana violently. Bekel Pranata immediately smiled wryly at the loud snapping of his superior. Together with Bekel Gayam, he stepped towards Woro and Wati who were helplessly sprawled on the ground.

But before they touched the bodies of Woro and Wati, two streaks of red light burning with hot air sting like a blaze quickly penetrated towards Bekel Pranata and Bekel Gayam.

"Bajingaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnn..!!!", maki Bekel Gayam who can no longer to dodge. Likewise with Bekel Pranata which directly makes the body's defense ala perfungnya only.

Bllaammmmmmmmm !!!

The two lowly officers from the Anom Coral Army immediately bounced far back. Both bodies sucked the ground hard. Like just burned by fire, Bekel Pranata and Bekel Gayam bodies charred in half. Both of them died without a sound.

The Wibisana master immediately glanced at the direction of the swift attack. From that direction a young man with a handsome face slid down to his front while smiling faintly.

"Where is this shit? Why meddle in our affairs ha?", snapped the Wibisana violently.

Not yet the sturdy young man replied, a burly middle-aged man darted quickly towards the Wibisana Interpreter while answering the words of the Wibisana Interpreter also threw some small white dagger.

Shhhrriegg shhrriegg shhrriegg!!

"You don't deserve to ask my lord yet!!!"
