A1ma Goddess Two Teeth
Papepa 23: Pamong Sukarat Arrested

*The Arrow Fighters (Papepa)*

“Commander Gendas Pati! Rent Segili!” call the Duke suddenly, showing an angry face after reading the inscription inside the white cloth scroll given by the messenger soldier.

“Hamba, Gusti!” the two commanders who had been standing before the main stage.

All were shocked to see the anger of Duke Marak Wijaya, including Pamong Sukarat. However, they could not be sure who the Duke was angry with and what made him angry.

“Capture Vice Duke!” duke Marak Wijaya's orders while standing from his seat.

“Hah!” surprised all of them, especially Pamong Sukarat.

However, the two commanders had jumped up and flanked Pamong Sukarat's body. The two commanders immediately blocked both arms of Pamong Sukarat. As a devoted person, Pamong Sukarat could have rebelled and resisted, but he did not want to waste his energy.

“What's my fault, Gusti Adipati?” pamong Sukarat asked pretending not to know, but he wanted to make sure, what mistake he meant.

“Without my knowledge and permission, you sent the Northern Army of the Duchy to the Dulangwesi Academy to overthrow Demang Baremowo. That's why the Recap Commander died!” duke Marak Wijaya replied firmly. Then his orders, “That's him on the stage footstaff!”

Pamong Sukarat did not resist as the two commanders led him down from the stage. He was then tied up using a rope taken by the soldiers.

“Badly, who was the one who leaked about the delivery of the Northern Squad?” pamong Sukarat's mind behind his angry gaze. “You humiliated me in public, then soon you will suffer a terrible fate, Marak Wijaya!”

“Gusti Commander, if Gusti is willing to give command to start this match,”, said Adipati Marak Wijaya to Panglima Ragum Mangkuawan.

“Good,” replied Ragum Mangkuawan.

He stood up and went forward. He stood stoutly looking across the square. On top of the two wickets, the twelve pinalis had been waiting for a long time.

“Revelation, residents of Balongan Duchy!” exclaim Ragum Mangkualam with a voice that also contains deep energy, as Pamong Sukarat did before.

All attention is now on the commander.

“Prepare yourself to watch the Arrow Fighter Match at the moment. Fight, start!” shouted Ragum Mangkualam at the top of his cue.

Set set set …!

Within a tap of time, most of the compact Arrow Fighters were shooting their targets. Mutual crossbow arrows occurred, making all the spectators carried tense up and down.

Of the twelve participants, only the Serpent Eye Swordsman and Genjer Mahesa did not shoot directly. Both choose to hold the arrow and focus more on avoiding the attack while maintaining body balance above the bamboo goal.

Because from the beginning got a gaze like he was about to be preyed upon, the Prince of Soul Degrees immediately performed ten consecutive archery in such a fast recharge rhythm.

However, the prince did not know that the Serpent Eye Swordsman had a high sharpness of sight. Although the ten arrows came like a meteor shower, it was still that the Snake Eyes Swordsman could quickly read the direction of the arrows. The Serpent Eye Swordsman nimbly tilted there, tilted here, even performing a one-time salto in the air dodging the Prince of Soul Degrees' arrows.

Dak!

“Akh!”

It is surprising, when the cue from Commander Ragum Mangkuawan was just spoken, one arrow from Ariang Banu has shot quickly and precisely hit the jidat Ujang Barendo, he said, he himself had just removed an arrow.

Ujang Barendo's body immediately jumped backwards with a darkened view. Fortunately the arrow's eyes are layered with small wooden cubes, so it only raises red bumps on the eels of jengkol children.

So hard hit, that Ujang Barendo felt his head and face as numb. His sight was suddenly dark.

“Veggur!” shouted Commander Ragum Mangkuawan.

“Aaah sucks!” pekik supporters Ujang Barendo full of disappointment.

“Daddy, stupid, like the smell of jengkol!” the other maki.

Dak!

Ariang Banu who was happy because he became the first person to drop an opponent from the top of the goal, must be surprised when one arrow belonging to Ronggo Manik hit his shoulder. However, it only made him squash for a moment, but not to the point of falling.

“One!” shouted Ragum Mangkuawan counting.

Adya Bangira as Ariang Banu's father turned tense. That means only one more arrow hit, then Ariang Banu will fall, want to fall or not.

Successfully archery Ariang Banu, make Ronggo Manik more excited. While there is Arung Seto who stands not far from Ronggo Manik as a group of right wickets.

The set!

One arrow from Tiro Mulaga shot towards Arung Seto. The older brother of Ariang Banu jumped high in the air avoiding the archery of Tiro Mulaga. The arrow passed through escaped under the body of Arung Seto and then continued to fall far back.

Dak!

Hard enough both feet Arung Seto landed on bamboo wicket, creating waves of shock on bamboo wickets that they both incandescent. The wave made Ronggo Manik who was about to shoot Ariang Banu back, so disturbed his balance.

The set!

As a result of the disturbance created by Arung Seto, making the direction of the Ronggo Manik arrow that targeted Ariang Banu, so missed.

“What are you doing, Arung Seto?!” shouted Arya Mungkara who was standing on the right side of Arung Seto. He also got a little disturbed his balance standing on goal due to the wave of landing Arung Seto.

Still lucky Arya Mungkara, because then he did not suffer losses, because he was able to avoid the arrows of Bandeng Prakas.

Ariang Banu who survived the second archery of Ronggo Manik, returned to archery Ronggo Manik bertubi.

Dak!

Of the several archery Ariang Banu missed and could be avoided by Ronggo Manik, there was finally one that landed on the chest. However, the arrow that did not punch it was not enough to push down Ronggo Manik. Precisely in the condition of having time to swallow it, Ronggo Manik can slide one arrow with a sharp.

The attack of his third arrow to Ariang Banu landed right on the right thigh.

“Two! Fallen!” shouted Ragum Mangkuawan who refers to the death of Ariang Banu.

“Yeah!” sigh a group of spectators supporting Ariang Banu. They're disappointed.

Ariang Banu annoyedly threw away his bow just like that. He then jumped down from the top of the goal. Although he did not fall, but because he had been hit by a blunt arrow twice, Ariang Banu was killed.

“Hahahak!” ronggo Manik laughs at Ariang Banu.

Dak!

“Aww!” peekik Ronggo Manik when suddenly just one arrow hit the trunk of his neck.

Ronggo Manik does not fall immediately, but bared first, then fell without significant injury.

“Hahaha!” Balingga's laughing turn saw the fall of Ronggo Manik. He's the one who shot Ronggo Manik.

“Veggur!” shouted Ragum Mangkuawan.

Thus, there were already three fallen Arrow Fighters.

Meanwhile, Ninda Serumi focused on paying attention to the crossbow between Arya Mungkara and Bandeng Prakas.

Since long ago, Bandeng Prakas had intended to target Arya Mungkara. Vice versa. The issue that Ninda Serumi is the lover of Bandeng Prakas, makes Arya Mungkara intend first to drop Bandeng Prakas.

And in fact, the two handsome young men were indeed exchanging arrows. (BH)
