Crown Prince Sanggana
PHT 8: The capital city of Sanggara
*The Conqueror of the Eastern Forest (PHT)*
Just outside the Dragon Gate which is the gate of the fortress in the Lesser Sanggana Royal Palace, a search party led by Empress Sandaria passed through a wide and sturdy wooden bridge, below it is a wide, clear watery trench connected to the Lake of Fatara.
The bridge is a link with the city of Sanggara, which is part of the Royal Capital of Sanggana Kecil together with the Palace.
The city of Sanggara was built extensively whose outskirts spanned the Duchy of the Eternal Night Forest on the west side, the Prabu Forest on the north side which was the fortress forest, and the Eastern Forest on the east side which was the forbidden forest, the forest that became the destination of the Wolf Empress and the team.
Sanggara City is also a city of officials, warriors and businessmen of the Lesser Sanggana Kingdom. In this city is also the center of the kingdom's economic regulation is widely located. Houses built are generally permanently made of stone and sand, which on the top is made of sonokeling wood, one of the mainstay commodities of this country which is widely exported to other countries. The Eternal Night Forest is a bountiful producer of sonokeling wood.
Just like the Sanggana Kingdom led by King Anjas Perjanalangit, Prabu Dira's father, in the Deva Orangutan, the Lesser Sanggana Kingdom has transformed into a residence for many warriors. The warriors came from various regions and chose to become servants and royal citizens. There are warriors who come with the goal of becoming military warriors, becoming warriors, businessmen, or living as ordinary citizens.
Until now, Sanggana Kecil Kingdom had three subordinate kingdoms and six duchy regions.
The three kingdoms are the Kingdom of Baturaharja which is adorned by Queen Wilasin the grandson of Prabu Banggarin, the Kingdom of Demons which is embodied by Queen Sri Mayang Sih who is the stepmother of Prabu Dira, and the Balilitan Kingdom which was embodied by the Queen Mekar Lembayung.
While the six duchy areas, namely the Eternal Night Forest, Memories, Fertile, Prosperous, Hill Path, and Batasaman.
Mount Prabu, which once consisted of only three small villages, has now grown into three duchies. The Duchy of Memories even became a settlement center for oil and gold miners. With natural resources in the form of oil and gold mines, it is enough to make the Lesser Sanggana Kingdom rich.
The great role of the thinking of Empress Yuo Kai of Jang Country greatly influenced the infrastructure of Sanggara city, including its city governance. No wonder the city has a number of wide main roads imitating the streets in the city of He which became the capital of Jang Country. It can be said that the city of Sanggara is a combination of elements of the State of Jang and local wisdom of the land of Jawi.
“Worship respectfully to the Empress Wolf!” shouted a swordsman who was on the side of the road, while going down respecting with one foot on his knees.
“Worship respectfully to the Empress Wolf!” the other exclaimed while going down on his knees as well, when he realized the arrival of three big wolves on the main road of Sanggara city.
The warriors, soldiers, citizens, merchants and others who were then on the street immediately knelt in respect.
With a cold and dignified demeanor, Empress Wolf and her entourage passed in front of her people who were full of love for the Palace family.
One of the people who knelt down was a grandfather dressed neatly in black like a noble. His white hair was neatly combed back. On his waist hung a bronze jar. He is a Pitura Linglung nicknamed the Prince of Drunk, a teacher of Surya Kasyara aka the Crazy Drunk Swordsman.
On Linglung Pitura's side were two boys aged nine and six. They are the sons of Surya Kasyara and Sugigi Asmara.
The nine-year-old bald-headed boy had a row of slightly stony upper teeth. It looks like the boy named Wiro Gelegar inherited the genes of his mother's teeth. While the six-year-old child is thin, long-haired and bushy, so it looks like a poorly nutritious child. His name is Wiro Geluduk.
Wiro Gelegar and his sister had been smiling and not kneeling. He's been looking for the faces of his mom and dad.
“Ayaaah! Ibuuu!” wiro Gelegar shouted as he skipped about on the spot and waved to Surya Kasyara and Sugigi Asmara.
Joyfully, Surya Kasyara and Sugigi Asmara waved back to their two sons.
When the party arrived in front of the Drunk Prince, Surya Kasyara and Sugigi Asmara got off his horse and hurriedly hugged and kissed his two sons' cheeks, but did not hug and kiss Linglung Pitura.
“Mom and Dad go for a while to save people. Don't be naughty to Grandpa Guru,” Sugigi Asmara's message to her two favorite sons.
“Teacher, I leave Two Wiro for a while,” Surya Kasyara told Linglung Pitura.
After that, the husband and wife immediately went back up to his horse.
Empress Sandaria let her Flower Goddess Guards do just that.
The majority of warriors from the Pangawal Bunga Army, Sanggana Ghost Army, Princess Sword Force, and other types of troops were stationed in the city. Therefore, the city of Sanggara is also called the City of Swordsman.
Along the way to the capital, Queen Sandaria's entourage was honored, until they came out of the eastern suburbs of the Capital.
Coming from the Capital City, they were now faced with the greatness of the Eastern Forest.
Between the eastern suburbs of Sanggara city and the outskirts of the Eastern Forest there is an empty space overgrown with tall shrubs. The wild land has no path to the forest. The party was forced to break through the thickets with the legs of their riding beasts.
In the end, Empress Sandaria's entourage began to enter the forbidden forest. When it entered as deep as a few spears, Satria's footsteps stopped which was followed by the other two wolves. The six swordsmen and twelve sword warriors also came to a stop.
At that moment, the science of sensitivity of Empress Sandaria felt something extraordinary.
“Really said Empress Master, the inhabitants of this forest are of great power,” said Empress Sandaria who was heard by her troops.
“If Gusti Empress can feel her power, means Gusti Queen can also know whether the inhabitants of this forest are human or animal?” ask Tangkil Ilir.
“The inhabitants of this forest are not animals,” replied Empress Sandaria.
That answer broke their belief that the inhabitants of the Eastern Forest were not human.
“Tether horses here!” empress Sandaria's Order.
The warriors and warriors went down and tethered their horses. The absence of roads that are commonly passed by humans makes horse-type animals difficult to use to walk into the forest.
However, it may be different from the queen's pet wolves that have special advantages.
“Star, Strip, search for other human tracks in this forest!” empress Sandaria's orders to her other two wolves.
Wolves named Star and Belang immediately advanced first to search for traces with their olfactory.
The soldiers also immediately advanced with drawn swords. Their function is to cut down shrubs and branches that block the road. The six warriors also spread out to look for traces.
Satria then followed Belang's movements, as the animal signalled finding signs that humans had passed by at the point where it was.
Delik Rangka and Lengking immediately flashed into the Belang position. Not long after, ….
“Here is a trail of sword slashes!” yells Screeching. Then he shouted again, “The direction was there!” (BH)
