THE SUN GOD SWORD
Food Cart
After eating, when Ki Demang was preparing a trip to the Duchy of Ujung Lempung, Sungsang Geni immediately prevented the old man's intentions.
“Please wait until a little afternoon.” Sungsang Geni gave a suggestion. “I will be on your way, meeting the Duke of Lingga.”
“But..”.
“There's something I have to do.”
Sungsang Geni approached one of the captives who was still tied to a large trunk. When the young man came closer, all of their faces looked extremely scared. One of them who was fat almost fell unconscious.
“I won't hurt you..” said Sungsang Geni. “Now can you see the suffering of the people here.”
“We...we saw it.”
“Then why did you guys happen badly to them?”
9 the men looked at each other for some time, their faces still filled with worry. Until then, one of them again ventured to say.
“Open King, says that they are all criminals who will destroy this Negri.”
Sungsang Geni nodded a few times, scratching his head that did not feel itchy. If you think about it again, the enemy he once had was not merely the power of the Demon Bats, but also their politics.
All the people believed that the Demon Bat was a god of salvation, a helper and a benefactor. For those who do not believe it, it is the same as being an enemy to the Demon Bats, and that means an enemy to the Kingdom of Thummenang.
'They can't be defeated by force alone, the Thumb Kingdom won't be free just like that, this is really troublesome.'
“You...Do you know the food warehouse of the Kingdom of Tumenang?” ask Sungsang Geni.
“What?”
Suddenly everyone in the place became surprised, several pairs of eyes wide as if going out of his petals.
“What don't-don't you be?” Ki Demang was unable to continue his words, he gulped bitterly several times.
Sungsang Geni just smiled a little. Moments later, he took one of the captives away from the small village. All eyes once again almost came out of his petals, looking at the crazy thing that would happen in the Kingdom of Tumenang.
Upon arrival in a fertile area, Sungsang Geni asked his captors to find a large cart that would be used to transport food later.
“You definitely have a pretty high position, one cart will not be difficult to get.” Shake Sungsang Geni to the burly man who was always deathly pale every time he saw his face.
Not long after, they had already gotten one cart pulled with a white cow. Sungsang Geni intended to ride the wagon, but did not. The vehicle always gives her something bad. So Sungsang Geni just walked slowly, while pulling the cow quarry.
Only some time, they arrived in one of the small duchies that are very different in appearance than the duchy of Ujung Lempung. The houses were neatly arranged, although there were no multi-storey buildings, but the Duchy was quite prosperous.
There was a short fence surrounding the Duchy, a wide open gate with no escorts. Dozens of people passed through the door, carrying many items in their oxcarts.
“This is the Duchy of Burularang.” said the prisoner. “Food warehouses are in the middle of the Duchy, located right in the middle of this city.”
Sungsang Geni noticed the place for some time, it is estimated that from this Duchy it took one day to really arrive at the center of the Kingdom of Tumenang.
The people are also not too crowded or crowded, the layout of the house is also neater than other Duchies that have been visited by Sungsang Geni. Only, right on a small hill, stood an altar of worship for the Dark God.
“Bring me to the food warehouse place, now!”
With a heavy heart, the prisoner walked first to guide the cow to the food warehouse. Some other soldiers saluted the man. Of course, the captives Sungsang Geni brought were royal warriors, possessing superior grade level abilities, while the warriors in the Duchy were only level one.
Sungsang Geni arrived at the main gate, a location now guarded by dozens of level one warriors. Inside that gate, stood several luxurious buildings and of course the Dukes' houses and Duchy officials.
“I brought an order to pick up food supplies!” said the prisoner with a trembling tone.
A dozen gate guard soldiers frowned. “Isn't it not time to pay tribute yet? Wasn't it two weeks ago, we just delivered 10 tributary carts to the Palace?”
The Prisoner turned towards Sungsang Geni with a wry look, when he saw the sharp eyes of the swordsman, he immediately turned his face away.
“The King asks for a tribute hike for this month, so you should give one more cart!”
The dozens of soldiers looked doubtful, but they had no intention of refuting the captive who was a soldier of the Palace. So with a heavy heart, they opened the gates of the Duchy.
Sungsang Geni was taken by some other soldiers towards the Food Warehouse. For a while, in the barn he took everything from rice, corn, beans and even eggs.
Long enough, the two of them finally came out with a pile of food on top of the wagon. Sungsang Geni was forced to help the cow pull the wagon, because it was too heavy.
A few steps as they left the Duchy, Sungsang Geni released two small knives and managed to catch 4 rabbits. “This rabbit is for Ireng, he will eat well for today.”
The actions of Sungsang Geni did not get any significant difficulties, he walked casually through the wide road that split the rice fields of the population. Until he finally heard the footsteps of dozens of horses approaching from behind.
It did not take long, about 15 people blocked Sungsang Geni road with food carts.
“Stop!” One of the leaders of the party raised his hand. “Where will you bring this food supply? This is not the road to the Palace, lest you guys are criminals?”
The Prisoner looked pale, this time from the look on his face Sungsang Geni could catch that the horsemen in front of him had a better position and strength than the prisoner.
“You! Isn't the soldier in charge of the ritual offering, why bring this food that is definitely not your duty?”
The more pale the Prisoner's face, while Sungsang Geni smiled slightly.
“What's funny, you dare to fight us?”
“Hemm..”.Sungsang Geni scratched his head, looking like he was thinking but then he chuckled a little. “Why should I be afraid of you?”
Just as two of the dozens of warriors jumped off the horse, Sungsang Geni released an extremely concentrated killing aura. Frightened, the captive now fell unconscious again, while 15 horses ran on the rides, dragging the bodies of the riders.
The two people who had just jumped into a daze for some time, he saw his companions running while right before them, the young man of the sun unsheathed the sword.
“Do not..don't kill us.”
