Jaga Saksena Pendekar Peniup Bledeg
Chapter 73. Treacheries

When all the objects in the room began to move, and the two daughters of King Basukamba were about to leave, Patih Sepuh Labda Lawana suddenly faced giving a report,

"His Majesty King Basukamba, the western wall was attacked by an army of inland tribesmen!"

"What?!" Surprised, King Basukamba immediately rose. "How strong are they?"

"About three thousand, Your Majesty!"

"I've allowed them all this time, but they've been running! Patih, command all senopati to bring full power. Tunpas clean! Don't let any of them survive! I'll be right up!"

"Ready Your Majesty the King!" sahut Patih Sepuh Labda Lawana then resigned.

"Kama Kumara!" The King again gave the decree, "If things get worse, you protect your empress and your sisters! Andara Anesha Sari, control your anger. We will continue this discussion later after it is safe!"

"Let ananda go to war, Ramanda!" princess Andara Sahut.

"Have you been able to control your attacks? I don't want you to harm the royal soldiers!"

"But, Ramanda—"

"My daughter, stay here." Empress Mahiswari said softly, "You may go to war, but later if you really have mastered your power."

"Byungda, I can already master my power!"

Anesha Sari's reply made her brothers stare suspiciously. Because if Anesha Sari had been truly able to control her power, it meant that Anesha Sari had just raised things with full consciousness. But this is not a good time for family fuss, they thought.

"If so, you protect the palace! Don't let the enemy break in!" Wisely, King Basukamba gave a special task to Princess Andara. King Basukamba preferred a strong princess to a weak one.

After giving the order, King Basukamba followed by Empress Mahiswari went to his private room to change into combat clothes while carrying an heirloom keris.

Meanwhile, Kama Kumara and her four siblings seemed tense sitting in their respective seats. Naturally, because only this time they experienced a kingdom attacked by an army of this size. Three thousand attackers, not a small number.

"Dear, let's do the King's job." Andara Anesha Sari got up, taking Jaga Saksena who had just been silent.

Not without reason Keep silent, in fact the young man wondered in his heart, guessing, lest the attackers were the same tribe, which he had met last night in a settlement west of the mountains.

"Dalits! Watch out for you if you take a chance in narrowness!" hardik Kama Kumara when Jaga Saksena rose up following Princess Anesha Sari.

Turning around, Keep Saksena smiling kindly as she said, "Three thousand people is not a small amount, you better prepare your weapons!"

"Damn it!" maki Kama Kumara's. The crown prince wanted to curse longer and more, but what Jaga Saksena said was something true so only the word came out of his mouth.

***

The Western Wall of the Kingdom of Saindara Gumilang.

"Bugu Wunu Kalu! Sadu Hina Be Dutsu Kalaa ...!" King Draleka rang out a battle cry accompanied by the sound of drums hammering.

"Bugu Wunu Kalu! Sadu Hina Be Dutsu!"

Screaming of the legitimate struggle, targeting the soldiers of the kingdom who have never faced war.

"Wega buwa taraaa ...!" King Draleka again shouted echoing into space.

It was the cry of King Draleka's order on the first wave of the army. Breaking squad!

"Sadu Hina Be Dutsu!"

About a thousand people dressed in thick leather in layers galloped towards the royal wall.

Senopati Ragnala Raksa commanded a thousand soldiers. He became the first senopati to welcome the invading forces. Due to the division of the territory of duty, Ragnala Raksa controlled the western region of the kingdom.

The royal archer troops that were on top of the wall aimed arrows.

Whuss!Whuss!

Like rain, hundreds of arrows flew into space before swooping down.

The truck! The truck! Nah!

Many arrows could be deflected, some hit the target, but the arrows were not too strong to pierce through the thick clothes of the attackers.

Arrow attacks cannot reduce the persistence of the Prophetic Valley Tribe to continue running until it reaches the wall and climb.

And the result of no betrayal on the effort, they managed to climb up to the top of the wall easily.

Apparently King Draleka had really prepared a battering ram well.

Close combat over the royal wall was inevitable. And, it didn't take long for the fight to creep into the wall.

***

All senopati had been ordered to help the battle on the western wall. But apparently not all senopati hastened.

Two senopati, Senopati Asta Brajadaka with Senopati Pradana Nararya even deliberately prolong the preparation.

In a special room, these two senopati are having a conversation with someone with a strong stature. Even if carefully considered the arrangement of the flesh of the person is like a stone.

"It's the right time, to take power." The man of stature like a stone said quietly, but there was fiery ambition in his voice.

"Raden Sundara Watu, is this not too hasty?"

"No, Senopati Asta Brajadaka. It's all ripe."

"What about the rakyan mantri?" Senopati Pradana Nararya asked.

Senopati Pradana Nararya is the youngest senopati in office. He was made senopati because he won the competition seven years ago.

"It's all under my control!" Sundara Watu smiled meaningfully.

The beginning of Sundara Watu coming to the Kingdom of Saindara Gumilang was to expand the slave trade. But his goal soon changed when he learned that King Basukamba was the great-grandfather's younger brother.

Once upon a time, in a dark intrigue, Sundara Watu's great-granddaughter was removed so it had to wander east and never return. Though it should be the great Sundara Watu who became the main heir of Saindara Gumilang.

On this basis, Sundara Watu secretly devised a plan to seize power. He managed to establish allies with Senopati Asta Brajadaka and Senopati Pradana Nararya.

In order to cover up his existence and expedite the plan, Sundara Watu did not live in the Mountain Slave Hunter Group Hall but in the senopatian palace of Asta Brajadaka.

Sundara Watu also put his people in various places including in the house of the mantri rakyan. Rakyan mantri is a position for people who will participate in determining government policy.

With just one special sign, the Sundara Watu _people who have been placed in various houses of this mantri rakyan_ will move to kill the mantri rakyan who do not want to defect.

"If so, let's do it, Raden! Faster is better! I can't bear to take Patih Sepuh's place immediately and conquer other kingdoms!" Senopati Asta Brajadaka said he chimed in Sundara Watu's words with embers of spirit.

One of the reasons for the defection of Asta Brajadaka was because King Basukamba had no ambition of conquest. For Asta Brajadaka, the king is less gregety, weak. In addition, the King was also too stingy in sharing treasures and women.

Unlike Sundara Watu who is fiery in ambition. He planned to conquer the entire land. In addition, Sundara Watu is also jor-joran in terms of wealth and women. "My is yours!" Sundara Watu's pledge to Asta Brajadaka.
