The Land Of Thorns
Behind the explosion part 2

Ludi shook his head, he quickly saw around him noticing one by one the people lying nearby.

“Uncle! Uncle!”

Shouted Ludi repeatedly calling while he was still looking at the people around him.

Ludi saw one of the bandits who tried to get up, he quickly approached him and hit the bandit face suddenly.

“Stupid! What the hell is going on? What exactly are you planning to do at your base?”

Shouted Ludi frowned while tightly grasping the bandit clothes, but the punch he had previously still made the bandit seem to stagger until he just shook his head slowly.

“Say!”

Ludi slapped him so hard.

“A-me, I don't know anything!”

Shouted the bandits answered him decapitated, his breathing felt so heavy.

Hearing that Ludi just took off his grip and pushed the bandit back to the ground, Ludi again looked around and saw the big man inside was strangling someone.

“Uncle!”

Shouted Ludi who immediately ran to see someone who was strangled by the big man was the Uncle he was looking for.

Looking closely, Ludi was increasingly aware that the big man was really big even his body was more densely packed than Uncle, he said, coupled with her hands so large it made her look easy to strangle Uncle's neck by using only one hand.

Ludi who was nearby started pointing his arrows at the big man, he threatened. But the big man seemed to retaliate deploying the iron hitter who was in his other hand.

“Do you remember me young man?

The voice sounded so heavy coming out from the big man's mouth, plus he did not duck to notice Ludi, he only glanced as he still looked up revealing his face in front of the strangled Uncle. Seeing him really makes Ludi feel threatened.

Ludi saw for himself the breath that came out of his mouth when he breathed even his skin now looked pale white, and his legs began to look trembling which was not just from fear, but from fear, but his body felt a really cold temperature when it was near the big man. Even he could see traces of blood on Uncle's body that seemed to freeze.

Ludi sighed for a moment.

“I don't know your bad face!”

Ludi suddenly released his arrow, it was stuck right in the man's hand regarding his pulse. But her response was not what Ludi expected, she looked so relaxed looking at her wounded self and looking back at Ludi.

“You always shoot well, Ludi!”

“Hah? How do you know my name?

Ludi was wide-eyed to see him, his face as if in disbelief hearing him mention his name.

“Di-dia Marlo, Ludi. See well - well his eyes.”

The voice that sounded from Uncle, who looked so trying to utter it came out of his mouth.

“Did I strangle you too strongly? Or are you the one who is starting to get weak Uncle? Or should I call you chief?”

The big man's words that further strengthened his grip made Uncle seem even more in pain.

“Hoi! Do you want to kill him?”

“What did you say Uncle? I don't know Marlo who became a cold-blooded killer! And Marlo wasn't that big!”

Shouted Ludi who was now watching him carefully every part on the face of the big man who was called Uncle as Marlo whom he knew. The big man's left eye looked strange, had no iris and seemed to move more slowly than his right eye when he glanced.

Back Ludi said that and for a moment he gritted his teeth before he was heard starting to mock him.

But the big man only laughed a little at Ludi and quickly he threw Uncle towards Ludi, the body of the big uncle directly hit Ludi's body, felt useless even though Ludi tried to hold it, Ludi tried to hold it, it even made the two of them slump until they fell right at the entrance.

Those who were outside looked so surprised to see the appearance of the two of them who were so arrived - arriving when they were still in their seats seemed shivering, shivering, not to mention that now the first rain in early autumn arrived, they felt a slowly falling raindrop hitting their bodies.

When Ludi fell down, he saw Marlo who began to walk towards him, and as Marlo moved closer to the front door, strange things happened. The speck of rain is now slowly turning into a hail that fell on all of them in the open space to make them look frantically trying to protect their heads from the hail.

Tratak tratak truck!

The voice sounded so loud that it came from the mercenaries who were using his knife to protect themselves from the hail that was still falling.

“Why arrive - arrive to hail?”

“What really happened?”

“Why is this night coming - suddenly feels colder?”

There were complaints from the mercenaries who were covering themselves with their shields.

“Should you ask him?”

Appoint Ludi to Marlo as she attempts to get up together with the Uncle she helped to stand.

“Hah? What's with that big guy Ludi? Is he the boss in this place?”

Shouted one of the mercenaries who heard Ludi say that, then with each other they heard the voices of the bandits.

“What a wind blast is Boss!”

“We were also affected!”

Excited the bandits who saw Marlo coming out the front door.

“Boss? So now you're Marlo's boss? You should be in this place!”

Ludi shouted at the big man before him, making everyone around him hear and fall silent to notice. They don't seem to believe seeing that.

“Hah? Marlo? What do you mean she's Marlo ‘si eyes one’ Ludi?”

“Is that really you Marlo? Why would a great mercenary like you become a bandit like this Marlo!”

The mercenaries came back.

“We're all looking for you Marlo, I've guessed that you're in this city as a bandit, but I didn't expect that you were their boss.”

The voice that sounded from Uncle with his severed breath. Hearing that Ludi immediately noticed him, he looked speechless so surprised that Uncle found out about it himself.

When Uncle tried to get up he put his hands on the mercenaries behind him, a conscious man threw a small axe weapon slowly, so that the uncle won he said so easily.

“I don't even know what tricks you used before, to make yourself arrive - arrive that big and able to cast strange magic like that woman.”

“But you should remember, I'm not the kind of guy who shuts up when someone hurts me Marlo!”

The uncle who was standing pointed his weapon at Marlo, he said that while glaring at him until his eyeballs seemed to force out and look so clear veins on his face that poked out like he wanted to explode. He came back screaming.

“Listen to you all! He is no longer the Marlo we know, there is nothing good for the man who betrayed his own comrade-in-arms!"

"If this is what you ask for, then you'll get Marlo! Finish them!”
