Akarmani 26: The Wage of Soldiers

*Fire in Jintamani Kingdom (Akarmani)*

“I and my troops submit to Gusti Ratu Colour Mekararum!” said Commander Galagap loudly.

“It was not in vain at midnight that I ascended here, Uncle,” said Alma Fatara as she pulled back the Blood Thread of the Gods into her robe.

Thus freed the neck of Commander Galagap from the threat of beheading.

Alma Fatara then shouted to the soldiers who were still holding his arrows in the bow and arrow machine.

“Let your arrows down! Now I am your leader!” alma Fatara said to the soldiers.

Confused about the soldiers. They looked at each other while pouting their arrows.

Meanwhile, fierce battles continued to ensue on the bottom, the inner side of the fortress. Dozens of corpses of soldiers, many more than a hundred people were already scattered as dead people. Clasps of Husk and Sumirah, plus a horse troop whose work is just milling back and forth, continue to rampage killing people's children.

“Woooi! Brother Clasp! Sister Sumirah!” shouted Alma Fatara from the top of the fortress. “Stop battle. Don't kill your own partner!”

The cry of Alma Fatara was effective in stopping the fight. Clasping Chaff, Sumirah and the soldiers of the Capital Security Force stopped fighting and turned to look at the top of the fortress.

Clasping Chaff and Sumirah were surprised, they both did not expect that it turned out that Alma Fatara was on top of the fortress, standing side by side with the commander of the army.

“What's your name, Uncle?” alma Fatara asked the Commander of Galagap.

“I Commander Galagap,” replied the commander.

Alma Fatara then shouted again to those below.

“Uncle Commander Galagap has submitted to Gusti Ratu Colour Mekararum. His troops are my responsibility!”

“Stop the battle! Stop fighting!” shouts Clasp of Husk to his horsemen.

Thus the battle under the fortress came to a halt.

Suddenly Pajrit Kerismon came closer to Alma Fatara with a bowing gesture and a smile.

“Hamba Pajrit Kerismon salutes Gusti,” said Pajrit Kerismon while saluting beside Alma Fatara, intending to look for face, even though his face is not lost.

“Hahaha!” alma Fatara's laughter saw the behavior of the soldier's head.

While the Commander of Galagap stared cynically at Pajrit Kerismon who he considered looking for face in his face.

“What a coincidence, Uncle Pajrit Kerismon. I want to have a hot coffee with Uncle Commander on top of this fort! Hahaha!” alma Fatara then laughed casually.

“Do need table and chair, Gusti?” ask kerismon.

“Oh yes. There's no way I'm gonna have Uncle Commander hold onto his coffee glass. Hahaha!” alma Fatara.

“Ready, Gusti!” kerismon replied, but did not leave immediately. Then ask again, “Do you need red bean porridge, Gusti?”

“That's better, Uncle. Serve eight people!” the Alma Fatara Order.

“Ready, Gusti!” pekik Pajrit Kerismon.

“Ya yes. If any other food, remove all!” order Alma Fatara again.

“Ready, Gusti!” pekik Pajrit Kerismon again.

“Hahaha! Go, Uncle!” said Alma Fatara who just laughed continued to see the behavior of the soldier's head.

“Ready, Gusti!” peekkik Kerismon again.

After that, Kerismon immediately turned to go towards the stairs of the fortress.

“Kakang Handheld, Brother Sumirah, come up here. Here the view is better!” the Exclamation of Alma Fatara.

“Come!” bring a Clasp of Husk to Sumirah.

A pair of warriors then walked away to the stairs of the fortress by passing through the soldiers in the army that is still a lot. However, both remain vigilant.

“Soldiers, take care of the corpses of our troops!” command of Commander Galagap to his troops down there.

“Good, Gusti!” a few soldier heads down below.

“Our respect, Gusti Commander!” said Handheld Husk after arriving at the top of the fort met with Alma Fatara and Commander of Galagap.

Sumirah also saluted to the Commander of Galagap.

“You two have no respect for Warlord Jintamani Liberation Army?” ask Alma Fatara while frowning.

“Hahaha!” the Chaff Handheld Laughter was reprimanded like that. “I thought you were Alma Fatara who made me fall in love. Hahaha!”

“Hahaha!” the laughter of the Clasps of Chaff seemed to be sinless, while Sumirah only smiled widely.

Indeed, in the case of the love scandal Clasp of Husk with Sumirah, Sumirahlah the culprit, but Clasp of Chaff is also guilty because the firmness of true love is not as firm as the reef.

“Our respect, Gusti Panglima,” said Handheld Husk to Alma Fatara, as well as Sumirah.

“Hahaha!” alma Fatara's laughter revealed her toothless tooth.

“Pardon us, Commander Gusti, for killing your troops. I Handheld Chaff, Heavy Stick Swordsman,” said Handheld Chaff.

“I Sumirah, Beautiful Crocodile Swordsman,” Sumirah said.

“Not why. The risk of becoming a soldier,” said Commander Galagap with a flat face.

“Take it easy, Uncle. Your wages must be I raise by half. Hahaha!” alma Fatara.

Meanwhile, several soldiers clad in royongs carrying tables and wooden chairs climbed to the top of the fort.

“Alma, do you have the money to pay Gusti Panglima's wages?” tanya Handheld Husk.

“Hahaha! Let alone an Uncle Commander of Galagap, the wages of Uncle Commander Pulung Seket and a thousand more troops I raise,” said Alma Fatara.

“Hah!” shock Handheld Husk and Sumirah. “You sure aren't joking, Alma!”

“Hahaha!” the Laughter of Alma Fatara. Then ask Commander Galagap, “Uncle Commander, how many soldiers of Jintamani Kingdom did I kill?”

“Four thousand,” replied Commander Galagap.

“Means there is a wage of four thousand soldiers that will not be paid. I raised the wages of one thousand two hundred and thirty-seven soldiers. Plus one more commander. So I took a little bit of the non-paying kepeng for me to add to the wages of the soldiers that I raised his wages,” explained Alma Fatara.

“Want,” says Sumirah.

“The cost of new recruits will certainly be much lower than the older soldiers. Ahaha! I can also raise the wages of these soldiers of the Capital Army. Do you agree, Commander Uncle?”

“Very agree, Commander,” replied Commander Galagap.

“If so, Uncle announce to Uncle's troops, but on condition, there is no grudge to the Queen Colour Mekararum troops,” said Alma Fatara.

“Good,” said Commander Galagap.

Commander Galagap then went to the edge of the fort and faced his troops who were working to clean up the corpses down there.

“Okay my soldiers! Your wages will be raised by half of the monthly wage!” shouted Commander Galagap.

Surprised all the soldiers, but surprised the happy ones. After being silent as if in disbelief, they then cheered happily.

“Yeee ..!” the soldiers shouted in cheers, but a few seconds ago, they were still sad because they had to lose many friends.

“But on terms!” exclaims Commander Galagap who stopped the cheers of the soldiers and his head. “But on condition, there is no grudge to the Queen Colour Mekararum troops!”

That last sentence left the soldiers speechless again, as if they were thinking about his interpretation.

“Agujuu!” shouted the soldiers all. Indeed, for the kepeng thing, almost all agreed.

“Alma, are you seriously raising the wages of those soldiers?” tanya Handheld Husk.

“Hahaha! Take it easy, Kakang. Do Kakang and Kakang also want a wage increase?” ask Alma Fatara.

“But, do we also get wages from Gusti Ratu?” ask Sumirah.

“That is if we win and Gusti Ratu is back strong in his position,” replied Alma Fatara.

“Gusti, table and chair are ready,” Pajrit Kerismon reports.

“Coffee and its pulp?” ask Alma Fatara.

“Sedang made, Gusti,” replied Pajrit Kerismon while smiling.

“Oh yes, Uncle. Go to the Jintamani Free Squad up ahead. Tell me that Gusti Adipati Lalang Lengir was called by me to take a coffee ride over this fortress!” the Alma Fatara Order.

“Hah! But, what if I get killed, Gusti?’ asked Pajrit Kerismon suddenly shriveled and flinched.

“If so, your wages will not be raised and because of refusing orders, your wages are cut in half,” said Alma Fatara.

“Ja-ja-don't, Gusti. I'll leave with a message!” screeched Pajrit Kerismon as he hurriedly descended to his knees in respect.

“Hahaha! Go then! Call also Commander Pulung Seket and my three loyal guards!” the orders of Alma Fatara who laughed saw the behavior of Pajrit Kerismon who looks like the original character.

“Ba-ba-well, Gusti!” kerismon pasrah. (BH)
