"What's wrong Marshal?" Asyura asked, confused seeing Gatzriel's unusual behavior.
"Ki boat ... we."
"Is our boat damaged? Or is it lost by the current?"
"Our boat is lost, Ashura," answered Marshal Gatzriel.
"This is impossible," said Misyura.
"Hm ..." Ashura patted her forehead, "There is no one from the Arabian city or the city of imperial who dares to come to this place or pass through this river, other than us."
"Look for yourself," pleaded Marshal, stepping towards the river's bank to rest.
With torch rocks as lighting, Ashura and Misyura began to check the situation around the riverbank to ensure the presence of their boat.
In addition to checking the situation on the banks of the river, both of them did not forget to also check large stones that could be used to tie their boat so as not to be carried away by the river current.
"Our boat is not able to be carried away by river currents," said Asyura, while surrounding the stone.
"Yes, that's right. If it is swept away by the current, at least the rope from our boat is still here. And if our boat is really carried away by the river, then this stone is also swept away," continued Misyura.
Gatzriel looked at the gray sky for a moment, before shaking his head slowly, "We will spend the night here. And tomorrow, we have to make a new boat to cross this river."
Gatzriel then leaned his body on a large rock.
In fact he wants his two bodyguards to make a boat as soon as possible considering the imperial politics is unstable which will have a negative impact on every city in the Triani Empire.
But he himself could not bear to order Ashura and Misyura who looked very tired from their long journey to the city of Rinjani. Therefore there is no other choice that can be taken for now, besides restoring drained energy. In order to pass through the river, they would need a boat to cross the dark river.
After a few moments they rested to recover the stamina of the body that was drained, not even fully feet, from the darkness of the river darkness appeared a red-bunguan light that was very small like a candle, more and more bigger.
Initially the three of them ignored the light at all, considering that the dark river was not the same as other rivers in the Triani Empire. Therefore they began to guess that the light might originate from the supernatural creatures of the dwelling of the dark river who wanted to show themselves.
But what makes them a little confused is that the light is never extinguished, but the more clearly visible the situation around the light.
"Turn off the torch," Gatzriel exclaimed while watching the light very carefully, "Do you also see the light in the middle of the river?" he asked, pointing at the light coming. On the other hand he thought that only he saw the light.
"Yes," Aayura answered, walking over to Gatzriel who was on the riverbank to ensure the light.
"Hey! Don't be rash, noon looks very dark. Surely this river is not the same as other rivers in our area," said Misyura, as if remembering the two of the magical things in this river.
Asyura bit her lower lip, and took a gravel and attached the stone to Misyura, "Shut up! Take care of your words!" strictly.
"Hm ... isn't that a boat?" Asyura asked.
"What?" Misyura, who lay on a large and flat stone, immediately rose, "Boat?" He was very surprised and full of questions, "Ah ... not wrong anymore, maybe it's our boat."
"Shut up! Pay attention to the three people in the boat," said Gatzriel, while sighed, "Aren't they a plot of a black skull organization?"
"Black skull organization? What is the purpose of their arrival to our region," sneered Misyura.
"I don't know, we must be more careful," said Gatzriel.
Black skull organization is an organization that stands on Belubua Island, southern Swamp Black or west of the Triani Empire. This organization is very famous for its cruelty, and strongly opposes the Triani Empire who wants to unite them into a part of the Triani Empire.
Several times the Triani imperial soldiers have carried out attacks on Belubua Island to unite the area, but the efforts they made continued to fail. Even hundreds of soldiers from the Triani Empire were captured by the organization and used as slaves who were forever submissive and obedient to them.
The big mission of the black skull organization is to unite the entire empire on Flaystanian Island, which consists of the Triani Empire, Sheen and also the Fastolinist Empire, to submit and obey them.
Therefore the black skull organization works hard to collect all information from the development of the three empires and also capture minors to be part of them, for the realization of their great mission.
The three of them could not be sure correctly that the three people who brought their boat were members of the black skull organization. But the identification that all three were wearing had opened their identity.
All three wore red headbands and all -black clothes, which were generally strictly prohibited throughout the Trian Empire, considering that the big enemy of the Triani empire was a member of the black skull organization which was very identical wearing a red headband.
Therefore, the residents of the Triani Empire are strictly forbidden to wear red headbands. Even if there are residents who deliberately or accidentally wear red headbands, they will definitely be called by their leaders to provide information.
"How dare they infiltrate into our territory." Gatzriel sneered with a face that looked very furious.
"I will kill the three people," Syura murmured as he took his arrow, which was placed on a stone, where he was resting.
Asyura quickly pulled one of his arrows to kill a member of the black skull standing in front of the boat.
"What are you doing, Ashura?" Help Misyura.
"Killing those people," he sneered, while removing his hand from the arrow.
Marshal Gatzriel and Misyura immediately widened their eyes.
Both of them looked panicked, but not because of fear of seeing Ashura trying to kill members from the black skull organization. But disappointed with Ashura's arbitrary actions without thinking about the consequences of his actions.
"Stop! Don't be rash!" said Marshal Gatzriel.
"Stop, Ashura! The actions you take will only complicate our situation."
The fatal action taken by Asyura made Gatzriel and Misyura a little furious, because it killed one of the three members of the black skull, as well as complicating the situation that befell them now.
In other words, when they saw their friends killed without resistance, the other two friends could still escape by playing the direction of the boat and anchored in another place.
That's why they stopped it. But Asyura did not want to listen to them because he was sure the mental and determination of black skull members could not be seen as low.
On the other hand, members of the black skull have a very strong immunity that they are not afraid to die at all.
Ashura took one more arrow and aimed at someone who was rowing their boat.
"Stop! You are just wasting your arrows," scolded Marshal Gatzriel, when he saw a black skull member who did not react.
On the other hand the situation in the middle of the river is so dark that they cannot clearly see arrows from Ashura.
Because there is a possibility that the arrows used by Ashura to kill people from black skull members, cannot reach them because the distance from the boat is still very far.
Ashura sniffed annoyed, when he saw his arrows were wasted, "Insolent ..."
Asyura then sat on the riverbank, waiting for the three black skull members to over the reach of his arrows.
Gatzriel and Misyura away from the riverbank to find a safe place for the three members of the Black Skull.
The three black skull members who were in the middle of the dark river. They spent the wine stored by Marshal Gatzriel and Ashura as their provisions on the way.
The three of them laughed out loud filling the river darkness which was very quiet without any fear in them.
"Did you not see the red rays that fight the riverbank earlier?" Asked one of the one, while taking the jars that he had drunk half of its contents.
A friend who sat face to face with him released his laughter, "Those are useless humans in this region."
"Hey!" The man standing in front of the boat turned around and stared at the two very cynically, followed by a small laugh that made his whole body tremble.
"It's a good idea to make them useful for this brutal empire."
"Right ..." The man standing in front of the boat nodded his head slowly, "Miso we not only investigate the movements of the Malaika organization, but also capture the people we meet," he then took a deep breath, and stared at both sharply, "and if we succeed in capturing those people, then the wages we can increase."
The two friends stared at each other for a moment, before releasing their very thunderous laughter, "What are you waiting for. Immediately accelerate this boat so that as soon as possible we dock and catch the wild dogs."
Ashura who was on the river's bank heard clearly what they said. Although it is still far away the distance of the three members of the black skull from the riverbank. But the night wind and the silence that enveloped the dark river made the sound of the three echoed very far, so Ashura knew very well the actions that the three black skull members would take.
Asyura bit her lower lip, her fiery gaze with a very furious face fixed on the three members of the black skull, "bastard ... you will die in my hand."
He then looked for a hiding place nearby so that the three members of the black skull anchored on the banks of the river did not know their whereabouts.
Ashura was a little afraid against the three people alone, because Marshal Gatzriel and Misyura had moved away from the riverbank without him knowing.
But he was also very confident that the three members of the black skull with a long distance weapon he had.
It does not require a long time for the three members of the gray black skull. With the help of the bamboo used to speed up the boat from the middle of the river to ketepi, by sticking the bamboo into the bottom of the river to push the boat, they finally quickly lined up.
"Where is the dog on the edge of the river?" asked the man standing in front of the boat, while watching the situation around the river.
"Wild dog ... how could they be friends with us."
They laughed so cheerfully as if they were in the wind.
But the laughing laughter of the dark river immediately stopped, when the man standing in front of the boat fell without a word into the river.
While the other two friends were enjoying the wine they took from the boat, they were confused to see what happened to their friends.
Seeing one member of the black skull fall without any cause, Marshal Gatzriel and Misyura were immediately shocked.
