THE SUN GOD SWORD
Swordsman Archers
The girl looks the same age as Cempaka Ayu. Her face is quite beautiful when the cloth cover her face is open, although indeed she looks still frightened in the ambush Commander Ireng .
“Tell me who you are?” Mahesh began to ask. “Why are you stalking our trip, what are you going to do?”
It took a few minutes for the girl to regain control of her body. “I Cawang Wulan..” replied slowly.
“Wang Wulan? All right, why are you hiding behind the bushes?” Mahesa began to demean her words. “You bandit?”
Cawang Wulan's gaze suddenly cynically heard Mahesa's question. But not for a while, perhaps realizing her position was unfavorable, the girl lowered her head again. Breathing out heavy breaths.
“We are bandits, yes...but all the victims we looted belong to the Devil's Bat Group. They have a large amount of food in the storage of goods. We've seen that warehouse.”
Sungsang Geni came down from the shoulder of Commander Ireng, then noticed the situation around him, then looked back at the girl with a meaningful smile. “You saw it? Food warehouse?” Sungsang Geni scratched his chin.
The girl did not answer Sungsang Geni's words. He could catch the young man in front of him instead of a fool. Nor was he weak, at least that was what he thought. So the girl tried her hardest not to make trouble, what else offended the young Wolf rider.
“So you said, 'We're'. Where's your friends?” Mahesa continued her question.
“They..,..they...”.
“They are here.” Sungsang Geni continued the girl's speech, he pointed at some unusual moving tree branches. There is no wind. Maybe the squirrel did it.
Not yet dried Sungsang Geni saliva, one man wearing clothes like Cawang Wulan down from the top of the tree, then followed nearly 20 more people with a bow drawn.
All the soldiers became alert. They raised rattan shields, protecting the face and body. Meanwhile, Empu Pelak looked the calmest among the soldiers.
“Let go of him!” the man gave a warning. “Or my arrow will pierce through your skull. I make sure it's no joke.”
Sungsang Geni did not move he already knew there was something strange about the man's arrow. Obviously it wasn't an ordinary arrow, a high-level heirloom, perhaps. There was a powerful energy enveloping the arrow as well as the bow that the man was wearing.
“It looks like we've misunderstood, Kisanak.” Sungsang Geni approached the man fearlessly. “We thought this girl, Cawang Wulan, was a lurking bandit and would plunder us.”
From the gap of the face covering that was similar to a veil, the man narrowed his eyes. Unbelieving. He had not lowered his arrow, now the arrow was facing toward Sungsang Geni's forehead.
“Who are you? I never saw the flag..,.” The man sharpened his eyes at the flag that was fluttering at the very back of the line, spelling out the small inscription that was stamped under the eagle emblem, “bayangkara? Are you the Surasena army, or the Swordsman Union army?”
“It does not matter we are Surasena troops or Swordsman Union Forces.” Sungsang Geni ignored the arrow eyes still on his face. “Our goal is only one, reclaim the territory already controlled by, They!” The young man pointed at the dozens of corpses of the Demon Bats behind the man.
Hearing him, the man just lowered his arrow, then followed by all his friends. “Are you kidding young man?”
“No..”
Mahesa seemed to still hesitate, but Sungsang Geni had climbed Commander Ireng and followed the man into the thick bushes. The coach did not want to rush over, so he still held Cawang Wulan back.
After some time, Mahesa found Sungsang Geni and the arrow-clad man standing on a fairly high hilltop. There were only small leafy plants filling the entire top of that small hill.
The surface is full of small pebbles, then the ground is red so arid. From this place, they could all see there were dozens of small hills below them, colored green, yellow and black.
The similarity between the hills is, Arid.
“What is a Headquarters?” Sungsang Geni saw a wall that had been built around the place that emitted a thin smoke.
The wall was surrounded by houses that were almost destroyed without remaining, except houses inside the wall that were large and small.
“Your eyes are very sharp,” The man praised Sungsang Geni. “In my people, only I can see the Demon Bats' headquarters from this hill.”
The place said Sungsang Geni is quite far if viewed from this hill. Mahesa had already tried to sharpen her eyes, narrowing and glaring, but she could not see the one shape of the building that the two of them said. This makes him very upset.
“I've seen the headquarters directly.” The man continued. “There are about 500 soldiers inside the wall. They hired village women to grow rice and yams. Then force the men to build a wall.”
“In a 4 day travel radius, Headquarters is most important in the region.” Cawang Wulan ventured to open his voice, “Because they have the most abundant food center. Rice and vegetables flourished in that land.”
The base is the smallest headquarters. There are nearly 100 small headquarters scattered throughout the Java Plain. Then there was an even bigger headquarters, a branch headquarters.
The walls surrounding the branch headquarters were already made of an array of marble stones. At least Minak Singo said there were about 30 branch headquarters.
Behind the 2 hills in front of them, there was a small village that was very fertile. The group of Demon Bats put nearly 100 people to work on land rice, in the rubble of their own homes.
“Kisanak, we've said at length but we don't know each other.” Sungsang Geni smiled slightly. “My name is Sungsang Geni, you can call me Geni or Jaka Geni. If I could know what your name is?”
The man chuckled, only to realize that they did not know each other. “I was nicknamed Jaka Sewu,” the man raised his bow while removing the face cover. “This is Sewu Bow, heirloom that can release arrows endlessly.”
True that Sungsang Geni suspected, the arrow bow used by the man was an heirloom.
Sewu's bow could release arrows endlessly, if his master had enough profound strength to use them.
Not a half-bows, Jaka Sewu has a face that is quite bad. There were many scars filling his entire face. Sungsang Geni believes that the man has experienced difficult things during his life.
The man did not have much hair on the front, except just a few right in the crown. Not a coincidence, Chief Jaka Sewu was filled with terrible burns. Red as skin flaking.
“For your convenience, I'll be back wearing my face cap.” Jaka Sewu again wrapped the cloth on the head, only showing two sharp eyeballs.
