A WASTED KNIGHT
The Bhre Tumapel

Longitudinal 1406

Bhre Wirabhumi was in Paseban receiving 200 envoys from the Emperor of China

led by Admiral Cheng Ho to establish cooperation in the field of trade. The excitement was seen on Bhre Wirabhumi's face when he received the delegation from China.

When the meeting was taking place suddenly from outside the palace there was a commotion. The sound of the clanging of danger signs being hit was timid and the cries of the guard soldiers and the clanking of weapons blared outside the palace. The soldiers of the East Majapahit Palace did not expect to be attacked suddenly when they were visiting from China. Suddenly the atmosphere inside the rowdy Paseban, the audience was shocked and prepared to save themselves.

"The Western Magazines attack, protect the King and his guests!" Shouted a royal guard

That day the forces of the West Majapahit Kingdom under the leadership of Bhre Tumapel, managed to penetrate the defense of the West Majapahit palace. Bhre Tumapel's troops headed for Majapahit through the wilderness, so that their arrival was not detected by East Majapahit forces at the guard post in the countryside,

“Didn't you Wikramawardhana, send our whole team to confront them!” Exclaims

Bhre Wirabhumi with Anger.

Bhayangkara's troops who had arrived in Paseban swiftly protected Bhre Wirabhumi and the empress from the impromptu attack.

"Gusti Prabu, we go the secret way!" Take Bhayangkara's army to escort him.

However, they had not had time to run to save themselves, suddenly came a troop of West Majapahit troops invaded Paseban. Bhayangkara's forces immediately welcomed the arrival of West Majapahit forces. Admiral Chengho and his 200 delegation members did not expect an attack from the Western Majapahit Kingdom. They are confused, do not know about the problems that occur in both kingdoms.

Bhre Tumapel acted recklessly, everything in his possession. A delegation from China led by Lakshmana Chengho was also attacked.

“Admiral Cheng Ho, it turns out they also attacked us!” Ma Huan Chengho's.

“There is no other way, we have to run from here back to the ship!” Admiral Zheng He drew his sword ready to flee with the rest of his entourage out of the palace.

“We return to the ship before the enemy attacks us!” Vice Admiral Chengho invited members of his entourage to flee.

Admiral Cheng Ho drew his sword against the invading Western Majapahit forces

them.

“I hope they won't attack us because we're just guests,” Ma Huan said trying to calm his entourage.

But Ma Huan's estimates were wrong, Bhre Tumapel's forces had confronted them. Chengho cried out to Bhre Tumapel

"Don't attack us, we don't know your business. Let us go, we

also the friendly country of East Majapahit!" Admiral Chengho tried to prevent Bhre Tumapel from attacking his entourage.

But Bhre Tumapel did not care and said to Chengho

"Don't try to deceive us, you must have come to help the East Majapahit Palace

attack the West Majapahit Palace!"

Without saying much Bhre Tumapel ordered his troops to attack the entourage from China. Because

their arrival was only for a trade visit, hence not many bodyguards were brought by Chengho. The members of Chengho's entourage were mostly royal officials and businessmen from China, so not many of them mastered martial arts.

Admiral Cheng Ho's entourage was unable to withstand the attack of the Western Majapahit forces. The attack by the West Majapahit forces killed as many as 170 members of the delegation from China.  They were killed in the attack while the rest were seriously injured. The remaining Admiral Zheng He

Meanwhile, Bhayangkara and Bhre Wirabhumi managed to escape through a secret route. Now they arrived at the bank of the Brantas river and prepared to take a sampan to the port of Tuban to then run to Madura asking for help from their allies there. When going on a boat ride suddenly Bhre Tumapel and

his forces have confronted Bhre Wirabhumi.

“Where are Gusti Prabu? You can't escape anymore!”

Bhre Wirabhumi saw that Bhre Tumapel's army had surrounded him and his army. He is currently in a state of urgency with only a few Bhayangkara troops escorting him. While the other party brought so many troops to surround him. Without saying much Bhre Tumapel ordered his troops to finish off Bhre Wirabhumi's forces.

"Strike them!" Bhre Tumapel's orders to his troops. The Bhre Tumapel army attacked the Bhre Wirabhumi Army. An unbalanced battle took place on the banks of the Brantas river.

Bhre Tumapel and Wirabhumi now face each other with drawn swords. Without wasting time,

he immediately attacked Wirabhumi. Their body shadows and swords flashed trying to injure his opponent. Bhre Wirabhumi's gasp when Bhre Tumapel successfully injured his body made his defense even weaker due to the injuries he suffered.

 "Ha ha ha, Wirabhumi is useless you use all your immune science because I know how to paralyze it. Didn't we learn the science of canuragan from the same source" said Bhre Tumapel.

Bhre Wirabhumi's

just realized that they drew knowledge from the same teacher at the palace because he and Bhre Tumapel actually still have kinship. The difference in political goals resulted in them becoming

the enemy.

"Traitor, you forgot that we're cousins. The property and the department have blinded

your heart's eyes!" Bhre Wirabhumi as he lunges at Bhre Bhre Tumapel.

At the end of the sword fight Bhre Tumapel flashed beheading Bhre Wirabhumi. Blood spurts

wet the body of Bhre Tumapel. The Brantas River was the scene of the massacre of Bhre Wirabhumi and his army. The Brantas River was now blood red because of the blood of the dead soldiers. Slowly the bodies of the dead soldiers began to be carried by the flow of water to the sea. After defeating Bhre Wirabhumi, Bhre Tumapel exclaimed

“We won,

Bhre Wirabhumi is dead!”

The cheers of the West Majapahit troops rumbled, the sounds of gongs and kendang were pitched over and over to celebrate their victory.

That day a Mahapralaya event happened to the East Majapahit Palace. The Paregreg war, the war

the brother between the West Majapahit Palace and East Majapahit which has been going on for 4 years, has dragged Majapahit in the abyss of destruction. Several vassal kingdoms outside Java many who have detached themselves from Majapahit power.  People are suffering more, their lives are not calm because the situation of the country is now unsafe. Robberies, famines and disease outbreaks are everywhere. The war was eventually won by Wikramawardhana from West Majapahit Palace.

News of the death of 170 members of the delegation from China is quite confusing King Wikramawardhana. Him

hearing the news that Admiral Chengho and Emperor Yongle were very disappointed with the actions of the West Majapahit Palace who had killed 170 of his entourage in the Paregreg war.   At that time, China was a super power that was quite influential in the political map of kingdoms in the Asian region

Southeast.

King Wikramawardhana does not want the bilateral relations that have been well established between Majapahit and China damaged due to the tragedy.  So that morning he invited Batara Sapta Prabu, Mapatih

Amangkubumi, Dharmadyaksa and the Attractors in Paseban. Bhre Tumapel was also invited to the palace to be held accountable for the killing of 170 Chinese envoys in the Paregreg War.
