Chapter 28 - MOVE!

"No." A stern voice held Yoda on his spot. "Stay with her."

"Lieutenant Utara." He said in shocking tone.

Behind them Utara walk casually with white armor enveloped his body. His leisure attitude from before have banished replace with a mighty dignity Lieutenant who ready to slay his enemy.

Senja thought, that he looked more handsome in that armor and his confidence that radiated from his entirely being gave her slightly calm impact.

"She is your responsibility. If worst come to worst, flee with her to the main fortress. She must be safe, no matter what." He gave his order with no room to refute.

Yoda stunned for a moment but, in the next second he knelt with one knee and received the command.

"This subordinate will follow the command" He saluted obediently.

Senja Stared at them blankly. Previously, even though she knew it. But still her heart can't accept it.

Despite of everything, to saw the scene before her eyes unfold. She really totally came to her sense that everything was a real deal. She travelled back the time. Who would do those salute thing in modern world?

Senja moved her gazed from kneeling Yoda to a dignity man in front of her.

"Are you still harbors the idea that I might be that girl?"

He curved his lips into a beautiful smile.

"There is no harm to being cautious. Moreover since you lost your past memory, everything is possible."

"Okey." Since he had put it in that way, Senja has no words to refute.

And indeed there was no harm for that, even, it would be benefited her if she could be that girl, at least she would have a shelter. But, how could that be possible?

Senja and Yoda moved to the inner fortress avoided the chaotic on the main gate. Based on the feeling of soldiers around her, she knew that it was only a matter of time before the enemy break through their defenses.

"I have to go to armory store!" She grabbed the edge of Yoda's robe and shouted among the hustle bustle in order for him to be able to hear her voice.

"No. you can't go there! It's too dangerous!"

Senja rattled her head. "I have to go!" she said in determined voice then without waiting for Yoda's approval she went to different direction.

Yoda clicked his tongue with annoyance and ran after her.

Armory store was in the middle of the fortress.

At the time they reached there. The Zodasian's army had already broken through their defenses, and went berserk not too far away without any meaningful resistance from their side.

Soon or later this battle was unavoidable, if they prolong their enemy oppressed, in the time where their attack came, their own army would be too weak and mentally down to even resist. So, sooner the battle happened much better.

It was like an option between bad things or worst things.

Even though Lieutenant Utara and Captain Hua had predicted about this and of course they have their back up plan, but the fact that the enemy's force was too strong was still put them in too much difficulties to execute their plan.

They were still waiting for their backup.

"How much longer the reinforcement will come?!" Lieutenant Utara swung his long sword and killed two people.

"It supposed to be no longer than an hour." The chief beside him answered.

"It won't do, we couldn't stand for that long." Captain Hua grumbled, look frustrated.

"Anru! Tell to the front line to retreat!" Lieutenant Utara gave the chief an order. "We will not stay. We have to move closer towards the backup army path."

Anru cupped his hands in salute and disappeared without words.
