Akarmani 21: Capturing Gebuk Sewu
*Fire in Jintamani Kingdom (Akarmani)*
Commander Rakean walked with thirty soldiers of the Palace Security Forces. One-third of the army was carrying a torch of light.
They headed to a guesthouse that was still inside the Palace complex. The guesthouse had a guard of about ten soldiers.
Coinciding with the arrival of Commander Rakean and his team, on the terrace of the guesthouse which was illuminated by several large torches, were talking two men.
The first man was dressed as a magnifier with a body just slinging silk, but wearing jewelry. He was young, half a century less than eleven. He is the Prince of Lower Bugar, the younger brother of Prabu Marapata.
One more person was dressed in military retainer with a sword hanging from his waist. The man of stout stature contained those hard muscles that were in the middle-aged range for less than a year. He is Commander Gebuk Sewu, Commander of the Royal Family Forces.
The two people who were talking were surprised to see the arrival of Commander Rakean and his troops.
Upon arrival in front of the terrace, the troops stopped, while Commander Rakean and four soldiers entered the terrace.
The Lower Bugar Prince and Commander Gebuk Sewu immediately stood up with a hostile look.
“Honor I, Gusti Prince,” said Commander Rakean while making a salute to the Prince of Lower Bugar.
“What do you want to do, Commander?” asked the Lower Bugar Prince somewhat snapped.
“Pardon me, Gusti. For the sake of peace of royal condition and the safety of all members of the Royal Family, servants were ordered by Gusti Sernopati to capture Commander Gebuk Sewu and disarm the Royal Family Forces!” replied Commander Rakean firmly.
Surprised Prince Bugar Bawah and Commander Gebuk Sewu.
“What kind of order is that, Commander?!” shouted Commander Gebuk Sewu angrily while escaping his sword.
The actions of the commander were immediately followed by ten of his soldiers guarding the courtyard of the mansion.
However, the action was actually followed by dozens of soldiers of the Palace Security Forces who also pulled out the sword, causing mutual threats. Clearly, the Royal Family Army outnumbered the swords.
“If you rebel, Commander, there will be bloodshed. Surrender for the peace of the Palace,” said Commander Rakean remained calm.
“You are the rebel, Commander!” tukas Pangeran Bugar Bawah angry.
“Im sorry servant. Gusti Prince is expected to enter the guesthouse. Guard will be taken over by the Palace Security Forces,” Commander Rakean orders. Then his orders to his troops, “Capture Commander Gebuk Sewu and disarm his soldiers!”
So the four soldiers behind Commander Rakean immediately advanced with a sword attached to the neck of Commander Gebuk Sewu. While the other soldiers immediately threatened the soldiers of the Royal Family Forces and seized all their weapons.
Commander Gebuk Sewu is a devout man, but he considers it good to be bad if he fights back or surrenders. Moreover, he knows the level of power of Commander Rakean.
Finally Commander Gebuk Sewu did not fight. He let his sword be taken and his keris weapon stripped away.
A soldier handcuffed Commander Gebuk Sewu's hands with iron handcuffs weighing two kilos of tolerance, meaning it could be more or less.
“Please enter, Gusti Prince. Resistance will be considered as an attempt to destabilize the peace of the Palace,” Commander Rakean said.
“Huh!” grunt the Lower Bugar Prince while turning around and entering the guesthouse.
Actually, the Prince of Lower Bugar is a devotional person, but of course, there are many considerations that he thinks if against the wishes of the kingdom's military rulers.
That night, in addition to capturing Commander Gebuk Sewu, Commander Rakean and his troops also disarmed the soldiers of the Royal Family Forces, but the soldier was not captured, only told to get out of the Palace. The task of guarding the Royal Family Forces in the guesthouses was replaced by the soldiers of the Palace Security Forces who were much larger in number.
To ensure that Commander Gebuk Sewu gets to the prison cell, Commander Rakean escorts directly to the prison on the south side of the Palace.
However, just now the group escorting Commander Gebuk Sewu was about to get out of the road flanked by two guesthouses, suddenly ....
Suddenly in front there were about four figures dressed in all red who galloped across the road in front of the prison fence wall. The distance to the position of Commander Rakean's entourage was still quite far away, but it was surprising because the four people dressed in red were clearly strangers.
“Hei! Stop, Intruder!” shouted a soldier who was also galloping across the front there with five friends. They chased the four people dressed in red.
“Who is the intruder?” ask Commander Rakean, I don't know who. But then his order, “Quick chase that intruder!”
“Good, Gusti!” answer the soldiers.
The dozens of soldiers of the Palace Security Forces immediately galloped to leave his commander. Only six soldiers remained who did not leave Commander Rakean because they were herding Commander Gebuk Sewu.
If there are any foreign intruders inside the Palace grounds, it is clear that it is the responsibility of the Palace Security Forces. While the six soldiers who were chasing the four men in red were the personnel of the King's Protective Force.
Swiiing ...!
One of the soldiers Panglima Rakean's men who chased, blowing a bamboo whistle that sounded shrill.
Then there were three groups of people who ran chases on the road in front of the prison wall. There were torches mounted on the high walls of the prison fence, so that they were illuminated.
The chase led to the front gate of the prison wall. There were four soldiers standing guard.
Seeing the four strangers running in pursuit of the many warriors, the four prison gate guard soldiers immediately moved and blocked the road with the unsheathed spears ready to pierce the incoming intruders.
Set set set ...!
However, the four soldiers had to be disappointed to death. The four people in red-red uniforms suddenly flashed four flying blades with great accuracy. The four flying blades were each stuck on the necks of the four warriors.
Afterwards, the four red-clothed men stepped over the four fallen prajruit without any impression and continued to run straight.
A jgreg!
Just as the four red-clothed men passed by in front of the closed gate, suddenly the gate opened and from the gap came three soldiers who came out because they heard a noise. They come out right when the six soldiers of the King's Guard will pass.
Cras cras cras!
Three of the six pursuing warriors suddenly escaped his sword and snatched the necks of the three newly emerging warriors with sword slashes.
The three prison soldiers instantly fell down with blood.
The incident that happened before those eyes clearly shocked the dozens of Palace Security Force soldiers who were chasing behind. They were clearly not out of thought, how could the King Protector Army kill fellow soldiers of the Jintamani Kingdom.
“Why did they kill their own friends?” ask one soldier to his friends, but no one can answer. Not because they are bego, but the knowledge has not yet arrived.
Set set set ...!
“Awaaas!” the whistleblowing soldier shouted alerting his friends as he took cover behind his shield.
Ceb ceb ceb ...!
“Akh! Akk! Akk ..!” the screams of four soldiers when they knew of flying objects stuck deep in their necks or chests. The slow response makes the shield not work.
Earlier, all of a sudden the six soldiers of the King Protective Force turned around and thrust six flying knives at the dozens of Palace Security Forces. Only one soldier was sensitive to that sudden attack.
Swiiing ...!
The Palace Security Soldier again blew his whistle after the attack, intending to inform those who heard that there were vandals inside the Palace.
From the other side of the road, twenty other Palace Security Forces soldiers appeared running after two groups of people who were now being hunted. However, the distance that is still far makes them actually meet a point with a dozen soldiers who first pursue. (BH)
