A Wandering Ronin Farewell
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"
A Wandering Ronin Trade Route
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
A Wandering Ronin Travel Companion
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 Wandering Ronin Coup D'etat
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
A Wandering Ronin Bona Faction
"The man with a brown cape uses a sword," said Harun.Echo was still transfixed with bulging eyes. Harun, who saw the echo as if he was in shock, tried to wake him up by shaking his shoulder. But after a while, Echo finally came to his senses."Echo!" call Aaron.Gema then came to his senses while shaking his head."I'm sorry I was so shocked by what I just heard," said Echo."No problem. It's natural for me to believe that."“Bona also said he knew for a fact that his plan had been leaked. It's just if one person defeats many people at once, it seriously threatens our plans.""You have to tell Bona right away."Echo nodded then said, “I'm sure Bona has strong people for this coup plot. He will not act without careful calculation."“Then will the night operation go according to plan?”"I think so. This is a big plan and decision from Bona after all his voices were never heard by the government even though he was once part of the Ramil government itself.”"Has he served in government?"
A Wandering Ronin Battle of The Sand
Gema still couldn't believe what he saw. The figure of a tall man with hair like a hedgehog half an hour ago just walked past him to finish off Ran and Shukar. Bona just sat quietly holding his wand.“Why are you so surprised like that?” asked Bona.Echo replied, “I can't believe you're going to take out your trump card before the operation starts.”"He is my trump card. A very strong fighter. I just wanted to test the man in the brown robe. My hunch is that he's not a random man.""And if he manages to finish off the man in the brown robe?""I will be disappointed.""Why?"“I expect that he is a powerful spy sent by the intelligence agency of the city of Ramil. So if he loses even gets killed, then I will be disappointed.”“But that person you sent, is very strong. Each slash of his sword, capable of destroying a building.""Never underestimate it.""I understand."“Also, immediately notify the rest of the faction members. We will be performing night operations three days from now.”
A Wandering Ronin There Is Another Sky
Shukar runs and tries to dismantle the rubble that fell on Ran with his bare hands. Zero who saw Shukar running smiled broadly and walked over while propping his sword on his shoulder. When it was close, Zero just stood behind Shukar who was busy dismantling the ruins. He even had a hard time getting rid of the huge chunks of ruins of the wall."Ran! Hang on!” Shouted Shukar as he pushed against a large chunk of the wall.No matter how hard Shukar tried, he still couldn't get rid of that huge chunk of ruin. Zero, who was still standing from behind, grabbed Shukar's collar from behind and threw him aside until Shukar's body hit the sand.Zero walked over and said, "Your friend is probably dead.""Impossible. Ran can't possibly die," argued Shukar as he crawled b as if he couldn't stand up because he was so scared."Friends, I will teach you an important lesson. Listen. Above the backward, there is another sky. So if you think your friend is great, then there will be something even grea

At the same time, Bona was sitting in his hiding place. Illuminated by an oil lamp, he was enjoying a serving of rice topped with a meat stew brought by Gema. When he finished eating, he sat back down holding his wand. Before long, Zero came with a big smile and full of confidence."Bona, I've finished off those two people," said Zero standing tall in front of Bona."Good. That means in a few days, we will carry out night operations soon,” Bona smiled."You're going to attack suddenly?""That's what I do if I'm a fool.""Then?"“I will give some warning attacks beforehand. If they ignore or even defend themselves, it means they are ready to be attacked.”"Fine if that's your plan.""I've been planning this for a long time. And we are dying to build this faction. We must not fail in this great plan. So, for our plan to be as expected, I order you to prepare some faction members at certain points in Ramil city,” Bona then reached for a folded paper under his shirt to Zero.Zero furrowed

Before Practice
Shukar is still asleep but Ran is awake and ready. He even cleaned his body by taking a bath. Although this is only a dorm room for candidates or young police officers who want to learn self-defense, the facilities are quite complete. So Ran can clean herself up before he goes back to training."I need to quickly master the shock attack power technique," Ran muttered to himself.Not long after, there was a knock on the door. After Ran opened, it was apparently an old man with a tray filled with food and drinks for breakfast."I guess Herlos," said Ran as he looked at the old man."Sorry, I was assigned by Herlos to deliver this breakfast," said the old man."Thank you," Ran accepted the breakfast.The old man then said goodbye and left. Ran brought the breakfast and put it on the small table near the bench. The smell of porridge sprinkled with pickles and sliced fruit makes it difficult to move the nose. He even raised his head when he was prone on the bed."What's this sweet smell?"

Black Hooded Man
"I have to admit your reasons are quite reasonable," said Gero.Goto laughed then he poured the ginger drink into his cup and Gero's."Let's have another drink," said Goto as he lifted the cup and took a sip.Gero also took his cup and took a sip."I still want to surpass Ran ," said Gero after taking a sip of the ginger drink."That's up to you. It's your life choice. Whatever the outcome, the risk will be borne by you," replied Goto .Gero just smiled then he got up and walked out by opening the door without permission. On the way home, Gero was intercepted by a man wearing a black hooded cape that covered his entire body. The man's face could not be seen because of the dark conditions of the night. Because he was a royal samurai, when there was a threat Gero immediately prepared to draw his sword. But the black hooded man raised his hands."Calm. I won't attack you," said the black hooded man."Who are you? Are you an intruder?” asked Gero whose right hand was already holding the h

Inauguration
Gero rushed to Goto when he heard that Ran had been promoted to the King's bodyguard. A very prestigious position and full of pride. Whoever gets this position, will not be underestimated again. Goto was not surprised in the slightest by Gero's arrival. He had already predicted that Gero would meet him."Master, why does Ran always stand out?" asked Gero.Goto who was making a clay bowl didn't answer. He put the bowls on a tray neatly then he put them in the furnace. After that he looked at Gero with a smile."Don't you stand out too?" Goto asked back."What do you mean?" Gero was confused.“Just think about it, ever since you became an eternal rival with Ran, you always stood out among your other friends. You have passed Kaju and Taka too. After graduating they both just became farmers. While you are already a royal samurai.”"But still I can't surpass Ran.""You're so focused on going beyond one person that you forget you've surpassed many."Gero then fell silent. Goto smiled broadl

Rival
The four-wheeled wagon that Gema was riding in continued to slide down the hillside. He had screamed when the wagon hit the rocks causing him to almost let go of his hand that was holding on to the side of the cart. The wagon grew louder and louder that Gema had to squint his eyes as the wind hit his face.“When do I get to the bottom?!” shouted Gema as he continued to hold on.Another ten meters or so to the bottom, Gema sighed as he shifted from descending to gently sloping. The wagon was still sliding twenty meters on the sand until Echo pulled the brake lever and the wagon came to a stop.With trembling legs Echo got off the wagon and plopped down on the sandbag."I will never again want to go down hill in a wagon!" he said, gasping for air.After his breathing returned to normal, Gema stood up and cleaned his clothes from the sand and walked towards the attack point in the northwest of Ramil city . The journey took more than an hour until the sun had turned orange and the sky was

Shock Power
In the late afternoon, Gema arrived at the attack point southwest of the city of Ramil, Gema arrived and immediately coordinated with the foreman at that place. The progress of the development process in this place is also still ongoing. It was on top of a sand dune nearly five hundred meters high. At the top there is a sloping land overgrown with various types of desert trees. Like; dates, cacti, and also spinifex grass.Echo had a bit of trouble when he had to climb this hill. The reason is, the hill which is often called Hara hill is higher than Rama hill where his family is hiding."It's better if this evidence turns into a mountain because this is the highest plateau around the Ramil city area," Gema grumbled as he continued to climb this hill.In the middle of the trip, the sandals he was wearing almost broke due to slipping. But thankfully nothing happened to his sandals. Arriving at the top, just like in the previous two attack points, the faction members were busy building a

The Flow
Having finished coordinating the attack point in the east, Gema rushed back to Bona's hideout to report. Bona smiled when he heard the report from Echo that everything went smoothly without any disturbance."Good. Everything went according to plan,” Bona nodded."But, there is one thing that bothers me," said Gema."Is there something you want to say?" ask Bona"Not words. It's just a question," said Gema."Then what is it?"“At the northwestern and northern attack points, there is always an empty space formed in a circle. Every time I ask the foreman in each of these places, they also don't know. What exactly is that? What are you going to put in that place?” Echo asked at length.Bona smiled at the question from Gema. He then chuckled because he knew that Echo would ask such a question."I knew you would ask that," said Bona."Then what is your answer?""You'll find out for yourself when our covert operation begins. Well, even though it can't be called a secret because I'm sure the

Conversation
Dessert arrived. Shukar felt full since he finished the main meal. Although he was no longer able to eat, but seeing the devil's fresh fruits in him seemed to tell him to be greedy and eat the dessert as he pleased. Shukar tried to eat two red grape seeds and his stomach felt like it was going to explode."I can't take it anymore," Shukar muttered to himself as he leaned back against the back of the chair.Meanwhile Watib continued the conversation. He was intrigued by Ran's suggestion about tightening security at night."As I said before, I agree with Ran's suggestion," Watib said while chewing an apple."Starting tonight, I will tighten security in every corner of the city," said Qarni.“Soon the alert level will become alert one. And don't look flashy so that people remain calm," Watib told Qarni."Was the public informed about this?" Qarni asked.Watib replied, "Don't. Any information regarding this, do not let it leak in the community. We must not make people panic. Our successfu

The Ace
Before sunrise, Qarni had come knocking on the hotel door. Fresa , who had just finished changing, rushed to open the door and ushered in Qarni . Ran was already ready with a brown robe and a katana tucked into his left waist under the cloak."Are you guys ready?" Qarni asked ."Of course we are ready. Only one person is still asleep,” Fresa pointed at Shukar who was still sleeping supine on the bed."How many will come along?" Ran said as he straightened his brown robe.“Looks like it's just the three of us. After I conferred with the Mayor last night, we reached an agreement not to bring too many people so as not to attract the attention of the enemy," replied Qarni .Suddenly Shukar woke up and got up from his bed. Staggering and half-closed eyes, he walked to the bathroom and opened the door. Upon entering, Shukar closes the door and it is heard that he is starting to take a bath and wash himself."I'm going to be the four of them there!" Shukar shouted from inside the bathroom.I

The Nostalgic Night
It was past midnight. But Ran stays awake. He was having a conversation with Fresa. Tells all what he has been through when he first separated. Fresa was impressed. Especially when Ran fought against Berna and Gordon. It was as if he couldn't believe that the person in front of him was the most powerful human he had ever met."You are indeed strong," said Fresa."Not. There are still many who are stronger than me. The proof is Zero. He can beat me easily," said Ran.“You mean the one who fought with you and Ran in the abandoned territory in the eastern part of Rami city?”Ran nodded then said, “Tomorrow when we go there, you will see how hard it is for me to fight Zero.”"If I assume you are strong and you were defeated by Zero, then Zero is really strong," Fresa shook his head."Hey, can we sleep in peace?" said Shukar who was curled up under the blanket and on the soft mattress.“Sorry to disturb your sleep,” Frea pressed his hands together.Shukar immediately covered his entire bod
