The Sky Dragon Swordsman
#20. Last Night
"How are the rebels prepared? are they already side to attack?" In front of one of the soldiers who joined the rebel ranks, Arya Bayu said.
"They don't seem to have any sign of starting the assault yet. The weapons they will use have not been evenly distributed yet" he replied.
"Watch on, if there's a report tell me, lest anyone know that you're my spy!" arya Bayu.
"Good sir."
Then you can go" he said again. He was satisfied with the performance of his men.
He has his own plans for Prabakerta. The quickest way to make his plan work is to take advantage of the rebels. That way he will be able to make Prabakerta submit to him without much effort.
He actually had men scattered within the rebel forces as well as the palace troops. That way he could complain to both of them. As the saying goes, once the oar of two three islands is exceeded. That's what he wanted.

The air is very cold outside. Dewi Ratih who could not close his eyes challenged the growing cold. He saw the moon that looked so big tonight. A beautiful view with stars scattered there.
Residential housing around it looks there are some destroyed like burning. There are also those who are uninhabited. Looks like only a small percentage of the residents here still survive. Most of them have gone to other countries that are considered safe enough for them to live.
I don't know why it feels like he remembered his hometown that he had left so long ago. It was very longing for the situation there, but he once vowed to be someone strong when he returned. However, he wants to restore his country so that it is not colonized.
The last time he left, although still a child with a strong determination he declared to return and expel the invaders someday . At that time the state of his country was not much different from what was in front of him . Sometimes he even saw bodies around the streets . It was a truly terrible sight at the time.
He knows, the purpose of this trip is Mount Kinasih to perfect his knowledge. Just looking for experience on that journey is not a bad thing. After all, he knew how far he had progressed since that day.

"Please forgive the prince, if I may wish to join this army that the prince leads," while worshipping the prince, the Hero who has arrived at his destination said so.
"join? I don't mind, just are you ready to accept the risk? You might die in a fight," in a soft voice he asked the Hero to rethink his words.
"Whatever it is the servant is ready. Even if the servant's own life is at stake."
"That means you're ready to die, huh? what's your reason for joining?"
"Hamba saw for himself how the palace troops were acting arbitrarily against the residents. The servant could not bear to see him anymore. I don't think I can if I have to fight it alone."
"What about your family?"
"Those who encouraged the servant to go with Gusti the prince."
"I'll make a decision tomorrow or maybe the day after tomorrow. You must pass the exam to join. Now you can rest. We'll see you tomorrow morning."
