A WASTED KNIGHT
Attack in the Desert

They both spread out blankets and covered the horses and

themselves with the blanket. In Ma Jingtao's heart prayed for an immediate storm

elapsed. In the desert it could have been a storm for a few hours but

sometimes sandstorms last for a short period of time.

An hour later the storm began to subside, but the wind was still blowing

although it was not as fast as it was and

the sand dust is still flying. Ma Jingtao and Chen Nie peeked out from the blanket

them.  Ma Jingtao's words heard

there was the sound of horse legs approaching, the sound was getting closer and nebulous in

under the light of the full moon he saw the shadow of a group of horsemen coming

dusting sand. Their figure was not so clear due to the limited view at night that Ma Jingtao was

unable to estimate their number and unable to detect

are they friends or opponents.

“Who are they?” Ask Chen Nie.

“I don't know if they're enemies or not.  We'd better wait, if they

attacking we will move against,” Majingtao replied.

The sound was getting closer to their location, before long

then After being close enough suddenly Ma Jingtao felt a gush of wind,

reflex him down.

“Chen Nie, be careful!”

Chen Nie who was about to get back up got down, some people

he drew a sword towards them. The sword swoop was gone, those people

stop and turn towards them and prepare to draw his sword back.

Ma Jing Tao and Chen Nie simultaneously unsheathed the sword against the attack

those guys. The sandstorm had already subsided, now that Ma Jingtao could see

more clearly, those people were a group of people dressed all in black.

It was unclear whether they were members of a black sect, robbers or

the Mongols. But now he was able to calculate the enemy's strength,

they numbered about 7 people complete with sword weapons.

Ma Jingtao's sword flashed, one person was successfully dropped

from horse. His other friend attacked again.

The sound of swords clashing again and Chen Nie

managed to knock one more person out. The man was dead with a sword in his stomach,

there are 5 more people they have to face.

“Who are you and what do you mean attack us?!” Snarled

Ma Jingtao's.

But the men did not answer and attacked

them both. Again there was the sound of the clanking of swords. Ma Jingtao sweeping

those people are merciless. One by one, the men were killed by them

two, until there was only one person left, it seemed that he was

the leader of the mob.

“Now you stay alone, if you still want to

stay alive, tell me who you are and why you attacked us?!” Ask Ma

Jingtao.

The person looked surprised, there was a hint of doubt on his face, though,

seeing the person in front of him start to seem doubtful, Ma Jingtao continued his words

“If you're willing to say who you are, I will

release you!”

But the man did not give up, even all over

his body was already filled with sword intent, he kept attacking Ma

Jingtao and Chen Nie.

The fight resumed, the man began to appear

his fatigue and attacks began to be inaccurate. Ma Jingtao tried to paralyze him,

he didn't want to kill her because he still wanted to know who it was

actually was. Until finally a kick from Ma Jingtao successfully hit

ulu heart. The man cried out stifled and collapsed him for a moment.

As he collapsed, the tip of Chen Nie's sword was directly aimed at

the guy's neck.

“Who are you and why are you attacking us?” Ask Chen Nie.

That person's face turned deathly pale, yet he was still not

willing to tell who he is

“I would never say it.”

Ma Jingtao was shocked, before he acted further away from

the man's mouth came out fresh blood and he died.

“Sial, he killed himself by biting his own tongue!”

Ma Jingtao searched the person's body while Chen Nie

who looked tired said

“Come quickly we have to get out of here!” Exclaim Chen

NIE.

“Wait for me to check this guy out! you check the bodies of the other yuang, who knows we found a clue" Ma Jingtao ordered.

As he reached into his pocket Ma Jingtao found a badge

from the jade he was very familiar with. Member identification badge

Dhongchang junggu. Ma Jingtao was stunned as it turned out that they were being attacked by people

palace too. It was seen by Chen Nie who was still examining the corpses of the horde members

the other.

I better not tell Chen Nie because it turns out

they are Dhongchang people. But the time he didn't know that was attacking

are the people of Dhongchang? I think this must have something to do with the loss of the Emperor's seal that until now still bellum met, inner Ma Jingtao.

“Chen Nie aoa you found?”

Chen Nie shook her head then said

“I didn't find anything, it looks like they're just sore

ordinary who might want to rob our money.”

“Alright, then we should get the hell out of place

here,” Ma Jingtao said as he climbed into his horse saddle and then chased him westward

followed by Chen Nie.

Meanwhile in Bukhara, Jamal Budak Prince Shaktar began to improve his condition, Wiraksara came to him in his room with a healer to see his condition.

"How is he doing?" Ask Wiraksara.

"He has started to improve, but it still takes time to heal his wounds" replied the Physician.

After treating and treating Jamal the healer gave the medicine and said goodbye

"Tomorrow I'll come back, give him the medicine three times a day."

After the healer left, Wiraksara began to interrogate Jamal

"What is Shaktar's next plan? Was Maheen taken with him?"

In a weak voice Jamal answered

"The Persian girl has now been taken over by Prince Shaktar, she is now hunting the Gem of Earth and Water, after she has mastered the five elements, she will gain the power of the God Anubis. After that he would become the ruler of the world like Genghiz Khan."

"But the jewel of Earth and Water is still not mastered, where will he look for it?" Ask Wiraksara.

"Prince Shaktar already knew where he should look, the Silver Water Sect that controlled the Water Jewel was now moving to the Fire Shrine in search of the Fire Jewel. Now Prince Shaktar is heading to the temple of Kahyangan Fire waiting for the people who master the other elemental gems to come, After that he will trap them and then master the gem. News of the Azura Mahda gem has spread among mustika hunters. I think they're heading to Kahyangan Fire Temple right now, hunting for other gems" Jamal replied.

"Where does Shaktar live with his followers?" Ask Wiraksara.

"We lived in Misr in the Valley of the Kings, For hundreds of years our ancestors lived there among the rock hills keeping the pyramids from being laid down."

"Who is Shaktar?"

"He was the last descendant of the Pharaohs, in the past after the Rum people had taken control of Misr, we were pushed back and hid in the Valley of the Kings disguised as commoners until now. Prince Shaktar wants to revive his ancestral power and expel the Arabs who currently control Misr. That is why, after reading the ancient records found in our Temple, Prince Shaktar has obtained a way to obtain the power of Lord Anubis. Sir, prevent Prince Shaktar before he goes any further. Prince Shaktar besides being cruel and dangerous, he also mastered the magic of his ancestors," said Jamal.
