Chapter 34: Lets hide
Utara clicked his tongue annoyed. He has to think of something if he wanted his men survives from this calamity. Just to think they were outnumbered, stay back and fight it wouldn't be the best solution although keep running wouldn't solved the problem either because eventually, with their speed, they would catch up to them.
"I have an idea." Senja said softly almost like a whispered.
"Oh, your voice is back."
Senja rolled her eyes, but ignored his comment. "I have an idea but too risky."
"I would love it." He said lightly, since Senja was helped them with the explosion, hence her idea was worth to try.
"Let's hide."
"Purple, where are you going to hide dozen of men?"
Senja pointed up, then subconsciously Utara glanced over a dense cypress trees above him.
The dense of the cypress trees cover the sky, turned the night to be more solemn and dark. The darkness was almost covered the ray light of the moon. They could take advantages of this.
Realized what Senja meant, a plan run down on his head and suddenly he raised his hand to put the entourage to stop.
***
Around five hundreds horsemen were closing in to the sounds of neighing horses that they have been chased. However when they came closer, the sound seemed disperse to different direction.
Captain Bai su raised his hands and immediately all the horsemen put into halt. He alighted from his horse, squatted down, and then put his ear to the ground. He closed his eyes and felt the vibration on the earth caused by dozens of horses.
"They are split up." He made a statement. "Chase after them!"
"Yes captain!" Answer them in united. They were dispersed to the four corners afterwards.
Captain Bai su got on his horse and follow his men to another direction.
Without they are knowing, dozens pair of eyes saw this scene. To think that they were successfully fooled them, wicked smile plastered on their lips.
Covered by the dense of night and cypress trees they figure were well hidden.
"Move." Utara said softly and the other men relay the message to the other by hand signal.
They were moved slowly from branches to other branches, trying to not produce sound as less as possible. They were kept moving like that for long time.
As for Senja, for normal occasion jumping from one tree to another it wouldn't be a challenge for her, in the end, she have been jumped from one building to another. But for this moment, when she had a psychology issue with the overwhelmed feeling that she was able to sensed, and on top of that was the feeling she has received isn't a normal feeling, but the extreme one with the excruciate pain. It was totally a blow for her mental.
With the thought that Senja was a delicate little girl, Utara generously lend a hand. He carefully supported her by hugging her waist.
At that moment Senja tugged his sleeves and whispered to his ear. "Someone follow us."
When Senja finished her sentences, a sound of arrow swish trough the dark and one of his man fell to the ground with agony expression, holding his right shoulder where the arrow pierce through his body.
After that, another arrow was shot from under them by the archery.
The group of Azura's soldiers no longer moved slowly and vigilantly but increasing their speed. The only advantage they have was the dense forest that was why the enemies couldn't pin point their position and was only shooting randomly, so they moved deep into the forest.
"They are here!!" The chaser shouted to their fellows and it wasn't takes much time until the other chaser came to join the hunt.
