Building Civilizations on Primitive Planets
26. Tiger Crazy in the Ocean
To restore the stability of Gunungmacan, the king immediately appointed two brothers-in-law Prince Jordi named Sandy and Bob as Resident and Patih. They are the sons of Prime Minister Suleka, Mr. Ilaga.
Previously Gunungmacan had not had a patih for a year because since the death of Patih Gianto without leaving offspring, Resident Pramono seemed to delay in appointing a replacement Patih. This post-chaos condition in Gunungmacan corroborates the notion that Pramono had actually orchestrated a coup. Its brilliant reputation for the well-being of the city of Gunungmacan has really been destroyed quickly.
Meanwhile at the Main Base of the Sea Freight in the Capital…
“Prince Danny, there was a pigeon carrying a letter with a king seal,” a senopati carrying a letter when dawn rose the next day.
Danny who led the Navy frowned then was stunned after reading the letter he received from his subordinates.
You useless slacker kid…
Whatever you've been doing in your unit all along.
What a unit full of traitors and troublemakers
*Your unit almost killed me and your eldest brother
They have today escaped hundreds of enemies of the kingdom in Gunungmacan*
Show me you are my dutiful son
Capture all enemies of the kingdom both life and death
Reveal all the parasites in your unit
Show me you're working
Danny then squeezed the letter furiously. Already several times since taking office he always got a bad speech from his father. His father always compared him to Jordi and Tomas.
But he was a little wondering what was going on in Gunungmacan? If the chaos of the unit meant its origin from the Navy training center and Gunungmacan City Base, of course this made it even more dizzy.
“Ryu..” his booming screams to the entire main base.
“Rear Admiral Ryu facing Grand Admiral Prince Danny,” Ryu said who came in throngs after hearing the screams of the leader.
“Come by deploying troops to inspect the entire family of Andi Keling and his troops sailing on patrol and prisoner pickup missions. In addition, immediately make the team for an in-depth examination at the training center, while first freezing their activities and capture also check all the soldiers there for the sake of investigation, and also check all the soldiers there,” Danny orders Ryu who is the Chief of Naval Intelligence.
After Ryu's departure, the, Danny immediately sent out carrier pigeons shown to the entire City Base to begin inspecting all shipboard voyages from outside the area and specifically ordered the Naval Base in the city of Tampaksirih, Jayagelang, Kalikucing and Sumberurip to conduct patrols and chase operations 6 ships from the training center and Gunungmacan city Base. In addition, the entire crew of 6 ships were temporarily declared as fugitives until this event was clearly revealed.
After finishing making a series of orders, Danny and 50 soldiers immediately set off following his father to Gunungmacan by land.
He traveled by land shortly after receiving bad news from the carrier pigeons and gave orders in the morning for fear of the king's safety as well as himself.
In addition, he was also afraid if he finally did not meet the king who might have been on his way back to the capital if he came to Mount Macan by sea.
A series of incidents involving the Navy made Prince Danny start to fear sailing, palace attacks, piracy in Sumberurip and the latest in Gunungmacan made him begin to doubt the loyalty of his men in the Navy.
Meanwhile at the Naval Base of the cities of Kalikucing and Sumberurip
By noon and evening on the same day they had received a pigeon post carrying a letter from their supreme leader the Commander of the Navy, Grand Admiral Prince Danny.
Those butchers who served as the commander of the base in the local city could only sit stunned and confused as to what to do.
The previous night without realizing anyone 3 warships in the Kalikucing disappeared without trace as had previously happened in Sumberurip a week ago. The kalikucing made a blunder by relaxing the security of naval assets considering that all the captives of the devotee of the Esa had been collected in Gunungmacan.
While Tumenggung Margono in Sumberurip was also frightened, but he could still think a little more clearly. Last night there were 5 warships in a procession to seize the remaining 2 ships at Sumberurip Base, but he learned from the case of the Crab Galak and tightened guard at night. As a result there was a naval battle that led to the sinking of 2 warships left at Sumberurip Naval Base.
Seeing the unfavorable conditions of Tumenggung Karsimin, the commander of the Kalikucing Naval base finally took the safe step by cowardly escaping to seek asylum to the kingdom of Ferris Indah. Incidentally that afternoon there was a merchant ship that would return to Ferris Indah carrying cargo from Kalikucing.
Knowing that Karsimin immediately left service hours at the Base to pick up his family and take them along to Ferris Indah without leaving any direction and information to his men.
The same day in Alamut
The same morning as Prince Danny received a pigeon post. The men of the former merchant crew who were working to make a wooden hut reported to Zayn and Udin that they had seen a group of 5 warships with crews waving white cloths on the side of the ship sail the coast to the mouth of Tabuan Lasi where there anchored Rihlah, Ragnarok and Stockholm.
“Mr Padishah, there are 5 warships heading here,” Bertha while running to inform Zayn and Udin who are having breakfast in one of the wooden huts.
“That Din prepare the weapons and let's welcome the intention of their arrival at the estuary of whoever comes, turn your version of Ceddin Deden and let's pray that it's Johnny,” Zayn replied Udin.
Meanwhile, moments later, from the sea Roni and Leman were amazed by the welcome made by 5 adult men, some women and children are carrying strange objects that most likely according to their minds weapons and singing songs containing things about Alamut. Behind them fluttered the flag in red, black, white and green (the flag of Palestine).
Hearing the words Alamut Roni and Leman are increasingly convinced that they arrived at the right place.
After lowering the anchors of the Pig Feather and Sea Worm. Roni and Leman alighted from their respective ships to greet the introduction according to the customs of the sailors in the islands.
“Our respectful greetings, the two faithful worshippers of the One One represent our brothers who are still on the ship and the good people who are worshipers of the great god who follow us to escape the tyranny of the Suleka Kingdom to meet the people brightener,” Roni gives his greetings.
“Whether we can meet with Mr. Zaynall Abideen and Zahiruddin Muhammad who controlled Alamut, introduce me is Roni, please, senopati was the commander of the Bulu Pigs and beside me was Senopati Leman the commander of the Sea Worm warship. We came in peace to bring our family and colleagues and the captives to meet those gentlemen,” Roni continued.
“Which enlightener do you mean it? I was Udin.. Zahiruddin Muhammad and next to me is Zaynall Abideen you can call him Zayn. What do the soldiers mean here?” udin replied in a polite tone.
“You are really tall and dashing like a figure who is usually referred to as the brighteners in history,” said Leman who suddenly prostrated in the following Roni.
“Ehhh standing... Just stand up what are you prostrating here, prostrate only to your god,” replied Zayn.
“Now further explain what is lightening and what is the purpose of your arrival here,” Udin interjected after seeing the two people standing.
“Izin explains my master, 2 years ago the holy man Temujin had a dream that the enlighteners who appear every 200 years will soon show themselves on an island that has many mountains and inhabited by many tigers. Therefore the saint sent the Great Priest Hulagu of the Kingdom of Southern Sugar in the continent of Jayamas which is also known as the continent of the right to welcome the presence of the enlighteners,” replied Roni.
“The only island with many mountains that has thousands of tiger populations is Grand Papalepap Island in this Suleka kingdom, so the great priest decided to sail and set up a temple in the city of Gunungmacan because the city has elements of mountain names and tigers. The city is also in the west of the mountain called Tiger although today there is no tiger,” continued Roni.
“But the high priest did not realize 1 thing. That in the dream of the Saints mentioned the enlighteners appeared in one of the fortresses on the island that around it guarded by tigers. Of course, the thing that is meant is only the Tanjung Pagar Fort area which is in the Forbidden Forest area and is actually still an area under the control of the city of Sumberurip,” Roni added.
“Dating the appalling events of lord Udin the capital last week, the tyrant king of Siffred became angry and arrested all the worshippers of the Esa throughout the kingdom, our treasures were confiscated, our temple was closed. Luckily we have people who hide the faith like Supreme Court Justice Giman, Rear Admiral Andi Keling, said, Thumenggung Jayadi and Juragan Jumanji who orchestrated the rebellion in Gunungmacan city where all the devotees of the Esa were taken captive from the corners of the kingdom,” Roni has not finished the story.
“In the rebellion that was supposed to run yesterday afternoon, Leman and I were in charge of leading the opening troops to clear the sea route to Tanjungpagar,” continued Roni.
“On the way here last night we hijacked all the warships guarding the city of Kalikucing and captured the crew who stood guard on top of it and sank 2 warships on the way while crossing Sumberurip,”, Roni added.
“Most likely at night or tomorrow morning if the rebellion in Gunungmacan succeeds the great entourage of Supreme Court Justice Giman, Juragan Jumanji, and, Rear Admiral Andi Keling and Tumenggung Jayadi with Grand Reverend Hulagu will arrive in Tanjungpagar for a pledge of allegiance to follow Mr. Zayn and Mr. Udin,”.
“Lighteners, Saints, Grand Priests explain all this and what here is the term prophet,” asked Zayn to Roni and Leman.
“The last prophet of the treatise of the One has passed away 600 years ago in the Kingdom of Sugar before the enlighteners who appeared 200 years after the death of the Prophet, successfully brought Sugar changed from a small kingdom not counted in the Jayamas continent or the right continent and then transformed into the twin kingdoms of North and South Sugar who ruled the right continent and the Jayati continent in left,” Leman trying to answer.
“200 Years later the enlighteners appeared in a city on the left continent that entered the North Sugar region and to the surprise of the third enlightener turned out to appear in Fantastica precisely in the Kingdom of Suleka,” Leman forward.
“And the saint was the high priest who took turns to be the religious leader of the devotees of the One, a kind of supreme leader of the people. While the high priest is the religious leader in the region. Formerly Grand Reverend Hulagu was responsible for the Southern Sugar, but the holy man Temujin transferred him to Fantastica to pick up the prophecy and had appointed a new high priest in the Southern Sugar to replace him. According to this servant is the good news that the truth of the One will spread throughout the world, 200 more years the possibility of enlighteners will appear in other non-believers in the world,” concluded Leman.
“Udin please explain what your attack to the capital is related to so that the king targets the devotee of the Esa and troubles us here,” asked Zayn.
Rena who was next to Udin quickly replied before Udin replied, “Wazir Akbar wrote a letter to King Siffredi with a prefix to the grace and permission of God Almighty God, Mr. Padishah, the Lord of Siffredi, I think that's the reason the king acted cruelly to the followers of Sang Esa.”
“Adu duh.. my head is dizzy thinking this, we have been waiting for the presence of Grand Reverend Hulagu later, he can certainly explain more easily,” replied Zayn.
“Roni and Leman let you take down the crew, property and prisoners at Alamut. You can coordinate with Bertha about temporary housing and coordinate with Rena the issue of captives. For luggage storage coordination with Anggi,” Udin spoke while pointing at a few people.
“For the next few hours Zayn and I will discuss in the tent, please do not be disturbed unless there are guests present at Alamut,” replied Udin who immediately pulled Zayn towards the tent.
“Zayn, did you hear what those two people said? Whether our teleportation on this planet is a god's willful destiny,” asked Udin.
“Entah Din my head is getting dizzy, but my pragmatic mind is simple, we will have the arrival of hundreds of people who make our position here stronger and can immediately build it, just like that, for the matter of religion and the One who was worshipped by those people I was still lazy to think about it further which is important my duty as a servant of God I always fulfilled according to the rules of our religion, by the way how the progress of writing applied science and curriculum” replied Zayn while asking.
“I think they are a kind of scribe who could be our kind of religion if we compare it with the situation on earth Zayn, I also agree with you that with their presence Alamut is getting stronger with his ideals,” clear Udin.
“About science, applied technology and educational curriculum has Rena not told you if the 40 ejection crates have all been written, I have written everything, not to mention I spent 1 ream of paper in Rihlah to print many important things,” concluded Udin.
“Good work father kos,” chirp Zayn.
“Haha... mr. kos, long time I never heard the greeting from you so many years after leaving Surabaya Zayn,” Udin then lay down in the tent.
