Chapter 100: Two Guards

Ting! Ting! Ting!

The sound of bells ringing out could be heard as a man rang it with his hands.

It was a signal that was meant for the people inside something like a tower.

And when that man finished ringing the bell, this whole place started shaking!

Dust rose up as this place started moving not too wildly, but this was something normal for the man.

After all, this was the place where the people enters the city of Jakart, the gate.

And when the man stepped outside of the place where he rang the bell, he could see the gate moving up.

Of course, the bell that the man rang was a signal for the people inside the tower to open the gate.

That was why something like this happened. And when the man whipped his head to the left, he soon saw something really big.

It was a big cart, and it was covered by some rough clothes. However, the man didn't really care about that as they already inspected it.

"Enter!" A voice resounded out beside the cart, and it was a soldier.

The soldier was the colleague of the man who rang the bell, and he was also the junior.

The senior soldier just looked at the man with calm eyes as he let the cart pass through.

And the owner of the cart diligently did the things that the junior soldier instructed.

It didn't take long for the cart's wheels to start spinning and make it through the gate.

And when they passed through the gate, the senior soldier stepped inside the tower once more.

No, he just stood near it, and he rang the bell while outside.

Ting! Ting! Ting! Ting!

The same ringing sound resounded out in this place once more as the man kept shaking that bell.

And it was only a matter of time until the gate would soon come down to close.

"Yawn~" The senior soldier opened his mouth wide and stretched his arms.

Right after finishing that, he walked towards the place where his junior was working.

After all, it wasn't every day that a cart or something like that would pass through the gate.

Besides, it isn't even the reported day when supplies or businesses would come in here.

That was why the place where the soldier spent their time was where civilians or the people entered and exited the city of Jakart.

"Senior, good work." The junior soldier spoke as he noticed the senior soldier was walking towards him.

This place was just an open space, and there was some kind of door attached to the wall.

And they were inside that door as they waited for people or civilians to exit or enter.

After all, not many people leave Jakart.

Jakart is a city that has plenty of supplies and the basic needs a human would need to survive.

What's more, there was also plenty of entertainment here. It was rare for people to leave Jakart officially.

Well, although Jakart sounds great, it isn't perfect, that's for sure.

"Day's getting boring. What do you have?" The senior soldier said as he sat down on some seat.

As the soldiers only worked when there were people, it was mostly their free time.

That was why they always bring something to the table to entertain themselves.

"Ahh. Let's see..." The junior soldier said as he looked through his stuff.

However, he couldn't continue doing that as they heard something.

Tak! Tak!

It was a knock, and it was coming from the door - the door that could be seen attached to the wall.

"Hmm." The senior soldier hummed as he urged his junior with his head.

Of course, the junior did what the senior told as he walked towards the door as he spoke.

"Please wait."

And when the junior soldier finally reached the door, he opened it immediately.

"Are you entering...?" The junior soldier started speaking as he whipped his head towards the door.

However, he didn't finish his words as he tilted his head with confusion evident on his face.

Why? It was because the person who knocked was screaming the word suspicious.

No, everything about the person who knocked was just suspicious.

From how the person dressed to how his attitude was, it was just plain suspicious.

At least, for the junior soldier, this person was suspicious.

And that was because this person's skin could not be seen.

No, the junior soldier could see skin, but that was on the person's face.

However, the junior soldier couldn't see anything beyond the nose.

What's more, this person...had a really weird body.

And all those things pointed to only one thing; suspicious!

However, before the senior soldier could stand up and apprehend the suspicious person, and before the junior could slash out with his sword, the person did something.

He raised his hand! And there was something hanging from his hand.

And when the junior soldier looked at it, his eyes widened.

"Lion Clan!" 

After all, it was the medal that belonged to the Lion Clan, one of the clans dominating the Jakart city!

However, even then, the junior soldier was suspicious of this person.

After all, the Lion Clan would never enter the Jakart city this way. What's more, this person was alone.

It was just suspicious, and besides, this person could have killed a Lion Clan member and just got the badge.

And the most important thing...this duo of junior and senior soldiers were strong.

They were strong, and they could handle most of the dangers of being the guard of the gates.

And that was why they were suspicious. 

'Something's different.' 

Something was different to this person, but both of them couldn't find anything out.

They couldn't sniff anything, and the person just looked clean.

However, that's not an excuse to let the person go now.

And that was when the person moved once more.

He raised something with his left hand, making him have both of his hands raised up!

And in that hand...was another badge of the Lion Clan.

"You bastard!" The junior soldier said as he moved fast.

He unsheathed his sword and prepared to strike at the man.

After all, there's no way a Lion Clan member would have two badges.

That was why he slashed the person with his blade with no hesitation.

Tang!
