A1ma Goddess Two Teeth
Kamsil 7: The Land of Hiding

*Human Village (Camsil)*

“Head of boat!” shouted furiously Senopati Kingdom of Ringkik, namely Gulung Sedayu. He was angry that the body of the rock hill, which was the only way to reach the fort, was now burning with fire. Not only the body of the hill was burned, but also dozens of soldiers who were trying to climb were burned.

The troops climbing up were forced to retreat lower, because as the oil flowed rapidly down, the fire also caught up.

Gulung Sedayu was a thin man but hard muscled. Although thin, but his war clothes made of thick leather material still fit his body. The man in his fifties was armed with an arrow weapon. He stood on his chariot with an umbrella.

“Gusti Senopati!” summon an officer soldier while approaching his master's carriage.

“What's up, Rebangga?” tanya Gulung Sedayu's.

“At the top there is a lot of oil, we attack with fire arrows!” bosi Rebangga which is the right hand of the senopati.

“You are right, Rebangga,” said Gulung Sedayu agreed. He then ordered his arrow troops, “Pair of fire arrows!”

So the soldiers immediately put the cloths on the arrowhead. Arrows that have been wrapped in cloth, immediately dipped in a barrel filled with oil. It was only after that it was then installed in the arrow machine.

After all the greasy arrows were installed in the arrow machines, some soldiers lit torches and burned the ends of the arrows that had been installed.

Seeing the arrow machines ready to shoot fire arrows from below, surprised Panglima Kampung and Kampung Siluman Head who was above Bukit Fort.

“Quick stop oil flow! Protect oil barrel with shield!” shouted the Commander of Kirak Sebaya Village before the arrow troops of Ringkik Kingdom released his fire arrows.

So some of the village men immediately climbed a pole to close the flow of oil on the bamboo pipe. A number of men immediately moved together to go near the group of wooden barrel filled with oil. They immediately formed a formation with the body behind the tightly arranged shield.

“Foot fireball farthest distance!” yell Kirak Sebaya again.

“Set the farthest distance!” shouted commander manjanik.

Three people immediately turned their respective manganese levers, so that the iron gear component rotated slowly and raised the firing range control pole to the maximum point.

“Ready!” shouted the shooting range man.

Jlegs!

A large wooden ball was immediately placed onto the thrower spoon.

Bress! Blips!

The wooden ball was then doused in oil and burned. The big wooden ball burner immediately raised its right hand as a sign of “siap”.

“Tembaak!” shouted commander manjanik.

Dak dak dak!

The big hammer holder immediately smashed his hammer into the locking peg. As the locking pegs release, the giant scoop is lifted and then throws the fireball with maximum force.

The three fireballs shot far away from the hill fort attacking thousands of troops of the Kingdom of Ringkik led by Senopati Gulung Sedayu.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One ball of fire fell and exploded on the empty ground at the foot of the hill. Another fell and exploded amidst the troops that were marching silently. Dozens of soldiers bounced around in a condition of burning his body.

One more fireball fell and exploded right in the row of the arrow machines, damaging two arrow machines as well as killing the soldiers of its operator.

“Tembaak!” shouted the commander of the arrow troops.

Set set set!

The other arrow machines instantly unleashed a counterfire arrow attack. A rain of fire arrows shot up towards the top of the hill fortress.

“Dataaang attacks!” yell Kirak Sebaya.

Then all the people on the hill fort returned to prepare for refuge.

Tep tep tep!

Alma Fatara and his colleagues chose to take refuge behind a stone fortress fence with Spice White and Kirak Sebaya.

However, dear ….

Plugs! Blouse!

One fiery arrow went directly into the oil barrel that was near one of the manganese tools. The single wooden barrel caught fire, which exploded, damaging the panjanik equipment and knocking out all five operators in a badly burned condition.

“Our throwing tool is left two,” said Spice White.

While down there, an equestrian soldier came to face Senopati Gulung Sedayu.

“Report, Gusti Senopati! Commander Gelegar's army has reached the Shell Valley!” report the soldier after disembarking.

“Good!” his Senopati Gulung Sedayu. He then shouted to the commanders of his troops, “Pull back all the troops!”

“Munduuur!”

“Munduuur!”

“Munduuur!”

Shouted the commanders of the army of Ringkik Kingdom.

So, the troops who had climbed up to the waist of the hill immediately moved down. They were relieved because according to them, it was impossible to climb up to the hill fort, especially the sloping rock cliffs were now coated with a sea of fire.

“Why are they backing down?” ask Kirak Sebaya to himself. Then he shouted loudly, “Stop the attack!”

Instantly the atmosphere above the hill fort was silent. They immediately advanced to the stone fence to see the enemy troops.

They saw all the enemy troops moving backwards, both the advancing troops and the troops who were still in line. The arrow machines were also pulled back.

“Did they give up?” ask Alma.

“No. They just backed off. They are currently having difficulty conquering this fortress. Senopati Gulung Sedayu must be thinking of a new strategy,” said Kirak Sebaya.

“Inner Circles, set up guard to keep an eye on the movement of the team Compact!” the Order of the White Spice to his son.

“Good, Dad,” says Circle In obedience.

“Come, we return to the village hall to negotiate a better defense strategy, especially now that Alma is with us!” bring Kirak Sebaya.

Kampung Commander and Kampung Chief then left the fort together with Alma Fatara and his colleagues. While the warrior-spirited citizens tidied up all the chaos that had occurred in the fortress. They also have to record the current condition of the weaponry and the changes in power they have.

The injured were immediately below home.

The women and children soon got word that they were able to get out of the cave of refuge, but for a while.

The colors of Mekararum and Magar Kepang are included in the discussion at the village hall. Kirak Sebaya and Spice Putih's wife were also present, including the White Spice princess named Lilia Seharum.

“Alma, our meeting at Galuh Derama's place, for the Demon Village is a fortune. We had long waited for the Black Ball heir to come, after we heard the sad news of the death of the Throneless King. Your presence here strongly coincides with the arrival of the attack from the Ringkik Kingdom. The Throneless King during his lifetime twice helped us defeat the Rinkkik Kingdom team. He used the Black Ball as his flagship weapon,”, Kirak Sebaya said after they sat gathered at the village hall.

“Why did Grandpa Kirak not ask, but instead trap us into this village?” ask Alma Fatara.

“You are in a hurry to Mount Reason. I'm afraid you guys are not willing to stop by the Demon Village, let alone this is a war business,” kilah Kirak Sebaya. “This is my fault. However, seeing your kindness when at the coconut merchant, I believe you will not be angry.”

“Hahaha!” alma's laughter finally exploded after a tense time in the face of a war that was also prime for him, just like the three of his colleagues had experienced. Then he said, “I'm not angry, Cake. I just want to know the reason, because we do not know about the case of Kampung Siluman, let alone the matter of war.”

“I never claimed there was a kingdom called Ringkik in this Jawi Land,” said Colour Mekararum which at once was a question. As a queen, of course, she knows what kingdoms are in the Land of Jawi.

“This is a Hiding Country. The land of man is behind the land of man. We are the same people as humans in the Land of Jawi, but without the knowledge of the people, there is another land behind your nature. A country that has a life that is not much different from life in the land of Jawi Land. I suppose, if your life is on this floor, then the Demon Village, the Rangkik Kingdom and its nature, is behind this floor. King Without Throne is one of the people who know about the existence of the Land of Hiding,” explained Kirak Sebaya.

“You mean, between the Land of Jawi we live with the Land of Sembuyi are two different realms, but neighbors and equally human nature, not the nature of the jinn?” terka Colour Mekarum.

“True,” replied Kirak Sebaya. (BH)
