Crown Prince Sanggana
PHT 2: Challenger to the Eastern Forest
*The Conqueror of the Eastern Forest (PHT)*
It has been ten years since the Kingdom of Sanggana Kecil was ruled by Prabu Dira Pratakarsa Diwana side by side with the East Forest.
The Eastern Forest is a very dense and virgin base. The hutn was barely touched and never entered by humans. The Eastern Forest is located on the eastern side of the Palace.
Prabu Dira, also known as the swordsman Joko Tenang, deliberately let the East Forest survive with its authenticity without being tampered with by the people or the Kingdom of Lesser Sanggana.
According to his wife, Empress Nara or Empress Mata Hati, in the Eastern Forest there are residents who have enormous power. However, it is not clear what creatures are in the wilderness. Is it a human, animal, or other creature?
Prabu Dira decided not to conflict with the creature under the pretext that he was an early inhabitant in the region, nor did he ever disturb the territory of the Lesser Sanggana Kingdom and its people.
For ten years after conquering the Demon Kingdom led by Queen Dua Sun aka Queen Aninda Serunai, the people of Lesser Sanggana Kingdom lived peacefully. Even if there are disturbances in the field of peace, it is still classified as disturbances that can then be overcome by security forces.
The Eastern Forest had become a forbidden forest for all officials, warriors, warriors, warriors, and citizens of the Lesser Sanggana Kingdom.
But to this day, there are three warriors who violate the forbidden forest. They entered the Eastern Forest deep enough. They entered early in the morning so that the afternoon could return to the army.
The three warriors were three men.
The first swordsman was Segar Rempak, a young man of great stature, armed with a large machete. The second fighter was named Jumawa, a thin man in his forties armed with two twin machetes. And a third swordsman named Linggo Aji, a curly-haired young man armed with a whip.
The three warriors included members of the Sanggana Ghost Force, an army whose personnel were all warriors.
The background of these three warriors desperate to enter the Eastern Forest is just gambling that they did on yesterday.
“The East Forest has never been entered by a single swordsman, even the Gusti Empress of the Eight Flower Goddesses have never entered there, as if anyone who entered there would definitely die,” says Segar Rempak to more than fifteen warriors of the Sanggana Ghost Force. At that time they were kongkow while drinking coffee and bajigur at the base barracks.
“Then what do you mean say like that to us?” tanya Jumawa then gulped down her bajigur.
“Means, we cannot yet be called a true warrior if we have never entered the Eastern Forest, until we meet its inhabitants, and come out with our lives,” said Segar Rempak.
“Which can be like that!” exclaim Dengkul Baga, short-bodied but sturdy swordsman. He was armed with small bamboo like chopsticks tucked neatly on his waist. “Obviously, the warriors in this team are lower in rank than the warriors of the Flower Guard.”
“Instead it. Because of our lower level, we must have pride. And in my opinion, being able to conquer the Eastern Forest is a pride that no warrior in this Little Sangana would have,” said Segar Rempak.
“Nothing too,” chirps Linggo Aji justifies the reason Fresh Crash.
“Come, I challenge you to enter the Eastern Forest tomorrow morning!” exclaim Fresh Crash to all his swordsmen.
“I'm coming!” sahut Lingg Aji.
“You don't look for trouble, Fresh!” sahut Dengkul Baga reminded.
“Be quiet if you don't have the guts!” sergeah Fresh Rempak.
“I want to see, how lucky you are tomorrow to enter the Eastern Forest, heh!” said Dengkul Baga with a dismissive grunting smile.
“I'm coming into the Eastern Forest!” exclaim Jumawa pula.
“I warn you, no one reports to the Chairman about our plans tomorrow!” exciting Fresh Crash.
Thus, the next day Segar Rempak, Jumawa and Linggo Aji entered the Eastern Forest. They agreed to enter far enough in order to meet the inhabitants of the Eastern Forest.
“If only a snake the size of a coconut tree trunk, it's nothing to face my Devil's Golok,” Fresh Koar Rempak while ploughing a bush to open a new path.
Indeed, they found it difficult to find a ready-made route, because no one had ever entered the forest. So there are purely no human tracks. Even if there is a vague track, it is a track that has been passed by four-legged forest animals.
Segar Rempak and Jumawa work to open the way with his cleaver. They kept going through the forest.
“It is impossible for humans to live inside this forest. Where is there a human who does not need the outside world?” jumawa.
“While later there is nothing we meet, at least we can come out with a raised chin. Hahaha!” said Segar Rempak then laughed.
“Not more than just a forest with a difficult terrain. It's far enough we're in, but there's nothing interesting or scary,” said Linggo Aji as his gaze looked across the forest.
The sound of forest birds rang out loud from various places above the trees.
“Only monkeys,” said Linggo Aji when his gaze saw the movement of two small monkeys on the trees.
“On the left branch there is a poisonous snake!” the word Segar Rempak reminded his two comrades who were walking behind him.
Jumawa and Linggo Aji were looking at the left. On a branch, there was a snake as big as a silvery black wrist, coiling up. His head which tends to be triangular in shape indicates that he is venomous.
Ctas!
Segar Rempak and Jumawa were shocked to hear the whip of Linggo Aji. The snake that was hit by the lash immediately dangled dead on the branch, then fell as a carcass.
“Hahaha!” linggo Aji's laughter saw the shock of his two comrades.
“Fresh, where do we want to go?” ask Jumawa.
“A few hundred more spears. If indeed we do not find anything, we return with victory,” replied Segar Rempak.
“See on top right!” cry Linggo Aji suddenly.
React two colleagues threw a glance towards the upper right, meaning to the upper area of the trees.
For a moment Fresh Rempak and Jumawa fell silent in search of something Linggo Aji meant.
“What do you see, Linggo? We do not see anything strange,” asked Fresh Rempak.
“I see movement like a snake, but very fast,” replied Linggo Aji.
“Ah, means you only see a snake!” jumawa said annoyedly.
“I can distinguish the speed of snake termites,” said Linggo Aji.
Fresh Rempak and Jumawa continued in his footsteps, continuing forward through the thickets that were knee high.
Blet up! Bsruk up!
How surprised Linggo Aji, when his feet were drowned in the thickets there were twisting so tightly. The next shock he slammed forward as the thing wrapped around his leg pulled strongly.
“Aaak! Segaaar!” linggo Aji shouted as his body was pulled tight inside the thicket away from the point where he was standing.
Fresh Rempak and Jumawa who were surprised to hear the sound of falling and the cry of Linggo Aji, quickly looked back. They saw the body of Linggo Aji who was almost drowned in the thicket, moving quickly away like it was being pulled by something very strong.
“Linggo Aji!” shouts Fresh Rempak and Jumawa together.
The two compactly jumped and flashed chasing the departure of Linggo Aji who could only reach confusion. (BH)
