A1ma Goddess Two Teeth
Papepa 21: Opening Match

*The Arrow Fighters (Papepa)*

To succeed his hidden plan, Vice Duke Pamong Sukarat officially invited the Commander of the Royal Family Army named Ragum Pangkuawan. The invitation was without the knowledge of Duke Marak Wijaya.

Therefore, it was only natural that the duke was surprised to see the arrival of an official of Singayam Kingdom, let alone his very high position, namely Commander of the Royal Family Singayam Army.

However, Pamong Sukarat today is pretending to be innocent, acting not to know anything about the planned arrival of Ragum Mangkuawan.

The one who was more shocked was clearly the Prince of Soul Degrees. He who tried to hide his identity from the general public, there were even high-ranking Kingdom officials present.

The Prince of Soul Degrees did not react when Ragum Mangkuawan looked at him from afar.

On the stage, Adipati Marak Wijaya was forced to give his seat to be occupied by Ragum Mangkuawan.

“Alright, ladies and gentlemen from Balongan!” shouted Pamong Sukarat to the crowd, his voice again contained deep energy.

The citizens who were crowding outside the square reacted back to the crowd, they were already impatient to witness the prowess of the Arrow Fighters.

“Arrow Fighter Games will be starting soon!” pamong Sukarat shouted.

“Yeee ..!” the audience cheers excitedly.

“However, before going to the main match, the twelve Arrow Fighters will do the opening match, to determine who has the right to choose the arrows first! That match was to break down the shield defense!” pamong Sukarat Exclamation. Then he shouted louder, “Open!”

Drag drag drag …!

Suddenly there was a simultaneous sound of feet echoing. Along with that, dozens of masked soldiers appeared walking out from behind the warehouse that was in the corner of the square.

A total of sixty soldiers walked in a row and compact with grounded feet to make his voice sound more cool.

The United Nations (Line-Line Troops) show is so attractive to citizens. Usually they only saw dozens of soldiers who were walking around untidy.

“Belok baraaat, pull!” shouted the commander of the commanding force.

Drag drag drag …!

The troops were getting faster stomping their feet when they were ordered to turn west, precisely turn right.

Although not as neat as the troops of the future country Paskibra, but they meet UN standards.

“Stop your step, silent!” shouted the commander of the army again.

Drag dragons!

There were two loud pounding of the leg before they completely stopped in formation two runs back.

“First defense, please go forward!” pamong Sukarat orders from the stage.

The five vanguard soldiers immediately ran forward separating themselves from the ranks. The five then form a layered shield defense. The rattan shield is held together, so there is no gap in the middle. While the five soldiers behind the shield put up the horses that were as strong as possible.

The twelve Arrow Fighters were seen smiling faintly each. They seemed so confident that they could destroy the defensive power of the shield.

“Rules! Every Arrow Fighter had to break down the shield fortress as it was destroyed. Remember, you must not use dangerous magic. Who can destroy the defense is the greatest, then he is the one who has the right to choose the arrows first, then next and next. As a tribute to last year's champion, then the first opportunity will be given to Arrow Fighter Arya Mungkaraaa!” yell Pamong Sukarat.

“Yeee ..!” cheers from some spectators who supported the Duke's son.

“And you guys are out there! Prepare your bets as much! Leave it to the betting collecting soldiers! From the results of this additional match you will be able to see, who will approximately win!”

So the spectators who are addicted to gambling, immediately spend their own money. Almost all are men, but there are also widowed women who want to take bets. They have understood the rules of betting, which are a number of pieces tied with a rope, then named the owner of the money on a piece of cloth.

Along with that, there were twelve warriors walking around in the audience. Each soldier carried a bamboo basket on one side bearing the name of one of the twelve Arrow Fighters.

“Bet for Arya Mungkara! Come, Arya Mungkara!” shouted the soldier carrying the basket in the name of Arya Mungkara.

A number of spectators immediately entered and threw his betting money into a basket called Arya Mungkara.

“For Bandeng Prakas! Bandeng Prakas! Sure win!” another soldier shouted as he walked in front of the spectators. He carried a basket bearing the name Bandeng Prakas.

“I bet for Bandeng Prakas!” exclaimed a young man while throwing a strand of his money into the basket.

“Betting for Ujang Barendo. Come on, Ujang Barendo!” shouted another soldier to Ujang Barendo.

Although there are also those who support and bet for the son of the jengkol boss, but the number is not significant.

“Come! Bets for Soul Degrees, handsome swordsman dashing!” shouted another soldier.

It turned out that the bet for the Prince of Soul Degrees was quite a lot, even though he was a new fighter.

A total of twelve soldiers acted like hawkers offering their own jagans. They walked around among the enthusiastic audience.

There are also people who do not vote directly. They are waiting for the result of the opening match.

Later, the winner of the bet will come to the committee demanding his rights based on their money already identified.

Meanwhile in the middle of the field, Arya Mungkara had advanced and prepared to break down the five layered armor of the soldiers.

“Arya Mungkara! Mungkara Arya! Arya Mungkara!” some of the spectators were in support.

“Heaaat!” arya Mungkara shouted loudly and then ran towards the fifth rattan shield. When half the distance, Arya jumped far away and lunged with both feet.

Bdak!

Both soles of Arya Mungkara's feet hit hard the midpoint of the five-shield arrangement. The five warriors who had survived instantly swerved all along with the disorganization of the five shields.

“Yeee ..!” yell Arya Mungkara supporters.

Arya Mungkara stood smiling. Obviously it was a satisfactory result.

“Next! Arung Seto!” yell Pamong Sukarat.

The five leading soldiers of the line immediately advanced and put up positions like the five of his early comrades. They also installed a shield fortress with the same model.

Arung Seto stepped forward. It is enough to run forward without jumping.

Bdak!

Arung Seto landed his right foot kick into the middle of the shield. As a result, the formation was destroyed. However, only three soldiers were stranded. While the other two were just pushed back almost falling down. It was obviously a result that was no better than Arya Mungkara.

“Huh!” grunts Charcoal Seto.

“Yaaah!” arung Seto supporters are disappointed.

“That's no problem. Kicking skills have nothing to do with archery power,” one resident told his friend, fellow supporter Arung Seto.

Then one by one Arrow Fighters called by Pamong Sukarat. One by one the Arrow Fighters did break into the shield fortress.

When it was the turn of the Prince of Soul Degrees, he leaped forward the shield and smashed both of his palms.

Meatballs!

The five soldiers jumped and fell with their respective tail bones. All five wriggled and groaned in pain. The result was clearly better than the result of Arya Mungkara kick.

“Waaah ..!” the audience cheers were so great.

However, the results achieved by the Prince of Soul Degrees became commonplace, when Janjer Mahesa, Tiro Mulaga and Gegas Simanuk also demonstrated. The three of them can do the same. The more suffering the soldiers who must be the object of the performance of the participants.

However, spectacular results were shown by the Snake-Eyed Swordsman. With just a single palm strike right, the five warriors had to be thrown and fall rolling. That was the biggest result in the opening match.

While Bandeng Prakas showed less promising results, making supporters disappointed limp. His supporters who have not placed the bet money, so switch in favor of the Snake Eye Swordsman or others who are more promising.

The results of Bandeng Prakas made Ninda Serumi more anxious in her seat. Obviously the result was a bad signal for the optimism possessed by Bandeng Prakas.

When it got a bad result from his double, Bandeng Prakas could only glance towards Ninda Serumi expressionlessly.

“The winner of this opening match is Pendekaaar Mataaa Ulaaar!” pamong Sukarat shouted full of excitement.

“Yeee ..!” an impromptu cheer of supporters who suddenly supported the Snake-Eyed Swordsman, even though they had not been acquaintances.

“So, Arrow Fighters who have the right to choose the arrow first are Snake Eyes Swordsman!” pamong Sukarat again. (BH)
