The battle in the darkness continued until both sides had many casualties. But uniquely, no one died. Only wounds. Because Ardan ordered not to kill the enemy. For some reason, the enemy did the same.Ran, who entered the battlefield, defeated several members of the robbers. Then, there was one member who rode his horse down with his flat and large sword. A man with straight hair up, pointed chin, slanted eyes, proportional body. He smirked at Ran."I noticed, you seem strong enough to beat a few of my friends with one hit," he said to Ran."It was just a coincidence," Ran replied."We'll prove whether your prowess is coincidental or not," the straight-haired man drew his sword."In battle, what can you do," Ran also drew his katana."Your sword is good."“The best swords made by the best swordsmiths.”Suddenly, a member of the robber who rode a horse came over."Remo, we have orders from the chief to continue to defend," he said to the straight-haired man.“Okay,” Remo nodded then th
Remo raised his sword up. He then closed his eyes and then ran towards Ran while thrusting his sword. Ran held his katana and then made a circular motion forward while throwing a right foot kick. Remo held and gripped Ran's right leg with his left hand. But one second later Ran turned around again by throwing a right foot kick that hit Remo's left head. Instantly Remo fell down. Meanwhile Ran put his katana back into its sheath.As Remo stood up, he slenderly attacked Ran by slashing his sword from left to right. Ran dodged by looking down while she drew his katana which hit Remo's lower stomach. Instantly Remo immediately fell backwards. But when he stood up, only his clothes were torn. A faint metallic gleam could be seen from beneath the torn clothes. Apparently, Romi was wearing armor that was resistant to sharp object attacks.“This suit of armor is very useful,” Romi said.“Troublesome,” Ran muttered.***At the foot of the dune, Ruli gripped the scythe blade tightly with his ri
"Romi, I'm sorry," said Ruli in his heart as he closed his eyes preparing to be executed by Shukar.But when Shukar stood in front of him. He just stood still while looking at Ruli who was closed with a grimace on his face as if he was ready to be executed.“So you can continue fighting?” asked Shukar.Ruli then opens his eyes and looks at Shukar."Why? Why didn't you kill me?" Ruli asked back.“During the time I left home and left my grandmother, I did meet a lot of people. And not a few also fought with people who were much stronger than me. But I never killed them. Even though when you took out your scythe I thought this was a fight to the death, but in my heart, I couldn't possibly kill either," said Shukar."Then what do you want to do? I'm injured and can't fight against you."“All I want to do is ask if you want to continue this fight?”"I told you I was hurt.""It doesn't matter if you're hurt or not. If you believe in your goals and determination, you will keep fighting.”Rul
In the sky, the stars shine brightly in the night. Anyone who sees it will feel at home for a long time staring at the twinkling starlight. Likewise with Shukar and Ruli. They sat next to each other looking up at the stars in the sky. They didn't talk much. Until they heard the cheers of the people from the direction of the battle area."Why them?" Ruli asked while occasionally feeling pain in his right shoulder."Who knows. But it seems they have already decided who the victor of this battle will be.”“If my side wins?”“I will go and follow what your side says.”“If your side wins?”"You should also do the same."Ruli nodded.***All the robbers finally gave up after seeing Romi defeated by Ran. They all raised their hands as a sign that they gave up. Ardan immediately ordered that anyone who was injured should be treated as soon as possible. Including Romi who was injured by Ran's attack. When he was about to be treated, Romi had refused because he was ashamed to have lost but inst
From here, the faint image of a city swayed by the optical phenomenon of the hot desert. Even Ardan who was leading in the front saw him like a puddle as he narrowed his eyes. Even though the sun was almost slipping on the western horizon, the light was still bright enough to see far ahead."Soon we will arrive at the city of Sahuri as well as the final destination of our journey!" shouted Ardan.Everyone was thankful that they had crossed the desert which was quite dangerous. Moreover, last night there was a battle that was enough to make some people cringe. Including children, pregnant women, and the elderly."Finally we have arrived, Ran," said Shukar happily."Yes. We'll be safe there," Ran smiled.“What are we going to do there other than find information about Garun?” asked Shukar.“First, we are looking for lodging. I want to take a shower and clean myself. Also, clean my clothes and robes," Ran replied."We haven't showered in two days?" Shukar looks on."Maybe two more days"
The next day, Ran decided to go around the city of Sahuri while looking for information on how to go to the city of Ramil. Even though Mahsud had already informed him, maybe there would be someone he could invite to go there. Accompanied by Shukar, Ran walked down the main street of Sahuri city. Because the city of Sahuri is in the middle of the desert, Shukar takes off his coat which he bought in the city of Herin.Shukar still doesn't believe that wearing fully covered clothes and covering his head with a cloth can reduce the heat in his body. All the citizens of Sahuri city are dressed like that. Shukar had wanted to give it a try. But wearing clothes that are all thin and short is a reasonable choice for now."Ran, shouldn't we just buy a horse?" Shukar asked as he walked down the main street.“That would be troublesome. We have to take care of the horse. Feeding, drinking, even when sick," answered Ran."So to go there we walk?""We go to the market. Who knows we may get informat
Malik and Alim were shocked when they saw Sa'ad lying helplessly on the sand. They both immediately approached and saw the condition of Sa'ad." Sa'ad, wake up," said Malik as he stretched Sa'ad 's body."Looks like he's dead," said Alim with a pale face."Stupid! How could Sa'ad die that easily,” said Malik.It wasn't long before Sa'd opened his eyes. He was still groaning in pain from the wound on his chest. His eyes glanced at Malik and Alim. His mouth opened to say something. But stammered like a baby just learning to talk."What? You want to talk?" asked Malik."What did he want to say?" said Alim." Ki ... we go ... go, " said Sa'ad stammered.Malik and Alim then looked at Ran who was putting his katana into its sheath. Malik and Alim slowly pay attention to the movements or facial expressions of Sa'ad’s lips. When they learned that Sa'ad had said to leave, the two of them immediately took Sa'ad in his arms and headed back towards the town of Sahuri.Then Ran and Shukar helped t
A cold night enveloped the city of Ramil. In every corner of the city, the night wind blows through the streets and narrow alleys and carries a pair of dust grains with it. When the wind blew against the body of a man wearing a black hooded robe, he immediately shuddered with cold. The bright moon made the streets more clearly visible when the man had to pass through the streets without lights.The man continued to walk and arrived at the outskirts of the city in a very disorganized condition of the building. You could say this place is ruins of buildings. In the middle of the ruins, there is a hole that looks like a cave but from the ruins build a sand wall. The man walked through the ruins with difficulty until he finally made it to the hole. He looked down and went in and lit a match because it was so dark.When the match was lit, it was seen that this cave was a building passage. But because the building collapsed, it looks like a cave from the outside. The hallway is a bit downhi
