Unexpected Encounter!

The soldiers quickly lift the goods onto their trucks, Raymundus lift the heavy chest with both of his hands, closely he can see the edge of the chest is made out of ornate gold, the chest is slightly open and he can see a golden glow shining his face, the chest is cold to the touch but it doesn't bother him, he happily smiles and walks towards the truck to put the chest in it.

He and his fellow soldiers continue to lift the goods one by one with the other soldiers on the lookout in the case for enemy attack, this ensures that they will not be devastated when an enemy attacks them while they load their goods, after a while, Raymundus pick up the last goods that they stole from the ship, it was a black wooden crate that is surprisingly lightweight contrary to its size, but he didn't put much thought into it and load the crate inside the truck.

"That was the last one!" He said after he turns his head to make sure that he didn't leave anything behind.

The sergeant glance towards the pack of goods and nods."Good, let's get going then!" the sergeant was very enthusiastic, and his soldiers can see that by the wide smile he had on his face, he is satisfied by today's raid, he didn't know what is inside the wooden crates, but by looking at their size he believe that something valuable in large quantity must be inside, not to mention the luxurious chest which had ornate gold as its side, just by looking at the chest and he knows that something very valuable is inside.

"Sergeant Sargard, how much reward would we get this time?" One of the soldiers named Mile ask with anticipation, last time they didn't get much bonus from the army as they didn't get enough goods, it was a small caravan that just started the business when they rob them, their supply was so pitiful that the army only gave them 5 gold as rewards, which for cultivators is like nothing at all.

Sergeant Sargard frowns and narrows his eyes jokingly towards Mile."The only thing your head filled is rewards, we are soldiers, we fight for the people so don't mention rewards to me!" Sargard sarcastically replied, which make his subordinate chuckle and laugh.

Mile also can't help but laugh himself when he heard the sergeant's sarcastic remarks, he put his M16 on his back and get in the trucks with the other.

Mile sat on the driver seat with the sergeant beside him, the sergeant nod."Let's get our reward!" this makes him smile and turn the key before he starts the truck. Vroom! The truck roar as Mile starts the engine, he steps on the clutch pedal and moves the gear stick to the first gear before he steps on the accelerator, while he slowly lifts his left leg off the clutch pedal, the car slowly moves forward, then Mile instantly moves the gear stick to the fifth gear and step on the accelerator which makes the truck jump and accelerates, the coil spring bounce the truck slightly up and down which makes the people inside the truck have a lot of fun because they love the bouncy experience.

The truck is very fast, much faster than the horses that they usually use, and it is very comfortable because they don't have to deal with the dust and dirt coming at their face when they drive, not to mention the truck had AC, which makes them feel cool and comfy, unfortunately only Mile and Sargard can enjoy this luxury because the truck only has 2 seats, the rest has to stay inside the container guarding the goods inside.

A few weeks ago they can't imagine such a vehicle existed, it's fast, it can't feel tired, arrows cannot penetrate it, and it only needs to be charged with electricity for a few hours, then it can travel for hundreds of kilometers, they could imagine what capability this truck had, you can bring soldiers anywhere you want without needing to worry to feed the horses and taking care of it if the horse is sick then you are doom, and the horse can't protect you from anything, but this baby can and you can just ram the enemy with this truck and they will surely die a gruesome death.

Sargard lowers his window and puts his hand on the door leisurely enjoying the wind as it hit his face, he takes out his helmet and puts it to the side which makes his hair move in the wind because he put it outside the window, its comforting, Sargard thought.

He stares at the grassland as they move out of his vision, along the way he sees many animals roaming around happily eating their grass or drinking the crystal clear water from the river, the cool morning breeze enter his nose as it brings fragrance scent, shortly after, he sees it, flowers everywhere with all kinds of colors and shape, ecstasy can be seen in his eyes, he can't believe such place that looks like a garden from heaven exist in here, the morning sunlight makes it even more heavenly as it shines the flowers with vitality.

Mile also sees this but he can't enjoy the view because he needs to focus on driving, the terrains are mostly smooth and grassy but it didn't matter much because the truck is built to travel in all kinds of terrain.

Suddenly they hear the sound of horse hooves coming towards them, and there they are about 600m ahead of them is a 20 cavalry unit, this cavalry did not wear any armor or protection whatsoever, only ragged clothes and a bow in their hands, on their back is their quiver to hold their arrows which are strapped over their shoulder and waist, their horses are not much better, wearing nothing but a cloth around the eyes, to protect it from dirt and dust.

Sargard leisurely glances at them, his elbow is still on the door."If they didn't move away, just ram them!" Sargard put on his helmet and prepare his M16 rifle just in case if he needs to shoot them, he has experienced this kind of stuff a few times, last time was 30 cavalry unit but they only bring swords with them, their fate can already be guessed from that.

Mile sneers in disdain."Yes sir," he steps on the accelerator and steers the truck towards the cavalries, Sargard can only give him a weird look when he sees this, shortly after, the cavalry unit charge towards them, they grab their arrow and draw it with their bows while aiming towards the truck.

Swiish!

The arrows cut through the air, as it flies towards its destination.

Clang!

The arrows as expected ricocheted against the armor, no dent, no hole, and no damage whatsoever, the truck still moves fast like a rhino with wheels and it's charging menacingly towards the cavalry.

Eko saw their arrows ricocheted and were surprised.

"Disperse!"

He urges his horse to move away from the truck's path, he had to lest he wants to get rammed by it, the cavalry disperses themself but Mile is not a peaceful, and civilized man so of course he steers his truck and hit some of them with his truck."Haha, that's what you get you fools!" Mile happily laughs as the truck bounce up and down when the truck ran over the cavalrymen.

Eko was angered when he saw that his men were being run over by the truck, he gritted his teeth jump out of his horse, and dash towards the truck when he gets close enough he punch the container of the truck that makes the truck shake and dents appear on the container, this time it was Sargard's turn to get mad."Motherfucker! If the loot inside is destroyed then I would use your heads as a souvenir!" he aims his M16 towards Eko and pulls the trigger, his firearms roar as bullets shoot towards Eko hitting his thigh and feet, bloody holes appear on his body and blood gushed out of it.

Eko was startled and he immediately jumps and dashes to the other side of the truck where Sargard can't shoot him, but little did Eko know that there are a few holes on the container and its purpose is quite obvious when Eko see a barrel protruding out of the hole pointing towards him and spew out flames as it roars and shoots bullets at high speed, but this time Eko was able to react, he dash side to side to dodge the bullets, which was successful because the accuracy of the soldier is terrible while the truck move

When the truck is far enough from him, the enemy finally stops their shooting, and Eko was left breathless because the amount of energy he uses to dodge the bullets is quite exponential, not to mention his thigh and feet are injured.

Eko's chest moves up and down as he breathes, sweat trickle from his forehead, he continues to stare towards the truck that goes farther and farther into the distance, his men usher their horses near him before they jump out of their horse and ask him.

"Chief, what was that? I never see that kind of animal my whole life!" Subagia said, awed by what he had just witnessed.

"I don't know, that animal probably comes from the distant west, but their bow is much more dangerous, look!" Eko pointed towards his wounds, blood still gushed out of it, but Eko doesn't seem to be affected by the wounds.

Subagia stares towards the wounds before he squats to take a closer look and shortly after Subagia puts his fingers inside the wound and took out a bullet, he inspects it left and right curious of what it is."Look, chief there is iron in your wounds," throughout the experience, Eko didn't groan nor frown to indicate that he was in pain, he casually picks the bullets from Subagia's hand and hold it near his face for a closer look."How can they shoot this iron so fast?" He grimaced.

"and it even manages to hurt me!" Eko was very astounded by his findings, he was a natural prodigy in body cultivation in his tribe which is a tribe that only has body cultivators in it, he was known as the best and strongest body cultivator of all, most swords and arrows are unable to penetrate his body, this is why they didn't use armor as that will only hinder their movement.

"Chief, why don't we bring this to the elders, they must have known something!" Subagia was very curious about the origin of the bullets.

Eko did not answer him, but he also thought this needed to be informed to their elder, so he mounts his horse that his men bring with them and steer it towards their dwelling.
