A1ma Goddess Two Teeth
Papepa 20: Guests From the Kingdom

*The Arrow Fighters (Papepa)*

The appearance of the Five Swordsmen of the Snake River was behind the crowd of citizens as fellow spectators. Alma Fatara could see Gemba Arek aka the Tiny Flying Snake moving with a slightly limped step, as a result of the wound that Alma gave him yesterday.

While Jejung Kemilau and Obol-Obol look fine, it seems they can overcome their respective wounds.

“You see the five people dressed in swordsmen?” alma Fatara asked her three colleagues.

“Iya,” reply Garam Sakti.

“Iya. Coconut, Charity?” tanya Ayu Speak who then made Alma laugh a little at Ayu Speak's question.

“They don't know you yet. You guys spread out and keep an eye on them from afar!” Alma's orders.

“Good,” replied Debur Angkara.

“But remember, don't clash with them. Their devotion is above you!” alma's Message.

The three nodded, then moved away together. After sharing the target, the three of them then spread out. While Alma chose to go up to a higher tree branch, so that the range of view is wider.

On the main stage, Ninda Serumi sat in a special chair that was aloof from the seats of officials and figures.

Next, three young men of swordsmanship, who had come on foot, walked into the square. Each one carries a bow.

The first handsome young man was thin-bodied without having adequate portions of meat to make him ideal muscular. It keeps a bunch of beards whose ends curve inward like a sheep's beard. He was wearing a brown dress with a yellow belt. He is an Arrow Fighter named Jenjer Mahesa, a demang son from outside the Capital City. He came alone without bringing mass or relatives. One of the two demons present on the main stage was not his father.

The second young man of great stature was like Debur Angkara, in a sense no bigger than the Garam Sakti. He was wearing a tight dark blue shirt with no arms, so his athletic body was clearly visible with the dream muscle model of aunty. Contrast with his clothes, he was dressed in a gombrong model. The belt is made of metal like cans. He is an Arrow Fighter named Tiro Mulaga.

The third young man is called handsome because he has white skin. Her clean face was circled by a fine black brewpub. He has a pair of slightly squinty eyes. His body was slightly stocky, but still looked gallant. He is an Arrow Fighter named Gegas Simanuk from Balewang Forest.

The three of them were great youths from outside the Capital City.

When they were introduced one by one by Pamong Sukarat on the introductory stage, the reception of the citizens of the Capital was less lively. Amazingly Pamong Sukarat, he knows all the Arrow Fighter candidates.

Suddenly there was the sound of a crowded horse running from far away coming closer. All eyes were instantly interested to see who was coming.

There are five horses. The front horse was a handsome young man with clean skin. He was wearing silver silk clothes. He also wore a silver-colored totopong on his head. The bow he was carrying looked good in bright red. He was none other than the Prince of Soul Degrees.

The other four horses were ridden by the four bodyguards dressed in black.

The residents again boisterous to see the prince's riding prowess. There are only a few people who know that the Degrees of Soul that came was a prince, namely Duke Marak Wijaya, Vice Duke Pamong Sukarat, Kepal Kepeng and family, Alma Fatara and Magar Kepang.

The five horses entered the square at high speed, leaving the entrance guard soldiers horrified to be dragged away by the horses.

When the Prince of Soul Degrees went up to the introductory stage, he was greeted with cheers and applause. The style he comes in influences to convince the audience that he has a chance to win. However, his remarks were not as lively as when Arya Mungkara, the son of the Duchy Treasurer and Bandeng Prakas were welcomed. However, it did not disappoint him since he could not compare them.

“Girls of all Capital City citizens! The twelve Arrow Fighters had been present in this square! It's thrilling! Support Arrow Fighters of your choice!” yell Pamong Sukarat. “Ordered the Arrow Fighter guards and his vehicle to pull over to the sidelines!”

And so, all the guards of the Arrow Fighters, including his vehicle, moved away to the edge of the square, but still on the inner side. Now there are twelve young men in the middle of the square.

“Pamong Sukarat!” call Duke Marak Wijaya.

Pamong Sukarat immediately looked to his lord.

“Hamba, Gusti,” said Pamong Sukarat while bowing respectfully.

“Gather all three commanders!” dukes Marak Wijaya's.

Somewhat unnerved Pamong Sukarat heard the order. However, he tried to hide his surprise. For sure, he could not gather the three commanders, because for the Commander of the North Dampuk Reiterated Force, he was already dead at the Dulangwesi Kademangan.

Pamong Sukarat then returned to face the public at a distance.

“Capital Security Commander, Commander of the Northern Forces, and Commander of the Southern Army, are ordered to quickly come to the main stage!” yell Pamong Sukarat.

From three points on the edge of the square is seen the movement of three people. Gendas Pati as the Capital Security Commander moved to jump over the head of the army line, then he ran quickly towards the main stage. Apparently his knee has recovered from the injury that Alma Fatara gave him.

From the other direction, two men dressed as soldiers ran. The man with the bushy beard was named Rewa Segili, Commander of the Southern Army. While the other soldier is the former right-hand man of the Recap Commander named Lot only.

Seeing the arrival of the three warrior leaders, Adipati Marak Wijaya and Adya Bangira frowned. They didn't see the appearance of the Reclaimed Commander.

The three warrior leaders stopped and saluted in front of the stage.

Duke Marak Wijaya rose from his seat and walked with his staff to the center of the stage.

“Our respect, Wrestling Duke!” they said they respected.

“Where is the Repackaged Commander?” dukip Marak Wijaya asked still flat, because he already knew the answer to Dampukan Dampukan Rekuk's absence.

“Ampuni servant, Gusti Adipati. The Recap Commander has been killed,” Lot replied with a pose of respect.

“What?!” the Duke shouted loudly, showing his anger. “Who killed him?”

“A female swordsman at Kademangan Dulangwesi, Gusti,” replied Lot.

“I have never heard of the deployment of the Northern Army to the Dulangwesi Kademangan,” said Adipati Marak Wijaya. He then turned to Pamong Sukarat, “Can you explain, Pamong?”

“Hamba will explain what happened at Kademangan Dulangwesi after this match event is completed, Gusti. Surely all have been waiting,” said Pamong Sukarat with a faint smile that felt guilty.

“Hmm, okay. Continue!” duke Marak Wijaya. Then he said to the three warrior leaders, “You still have to stand there!”

“Good, Gusti!” answer the three leaders.

Just now Pamong Sukarat was about to continue his work as the host of the match, from outside the square came a group of horsemen. About twenty horses.

The horsemen ridden by the soldiers in saffron yellow uniforms entered the square. The soldiers looked to have a stout stature. Duke Marak Wijaya and other officials only looked on with shocked gazes.

“Singayam Kingdom Forces!” the Duke of Marak Wijaya.

“Are they not a Kingdom army?” tanya Adya Bangira who had stood by the Duke.

“The Duke invites Royal officials as well?” ask Pamong Sukarat.

“I never invited Royal officials to come to this event,” dukes Marak Wijaya denied.

The front man riding a horse was clearly a royal official. Can be recognized by the way they dress. He was a middle-aged man who was still sturdy. He was wearing bright red clothes and pants with a light blue belt. There was a silver dagger tucked in his front belt.

“Commander of the Royal Family Forces!” call Duke Marak Wijaya when recognizing the official.

Adipati Marak Wijaya in a hurry to get off the stage to welcome the official. Adya Bangira and Pamong Sukarat followed the duke.

“Sincerely servant, Commander!” said Adipati Marak Wijaya, followed by the honor of Adya Bangira and Pamong Sukarat.

The commander of the Royal Family Forces immediately got off his horse.

“Wake up, Duke!” command of the commander. “Thank you for your invitation!”

Surprised duke Marak Wijaya. Because, he never invited any officials from Singayam Kingdom. (BH)
