JAYABAYA: The Journey of Being a Legend
Storms Amidst Happiness (part 4)

Demung Gombang immediately circulated his gaze around his surroundings. Hundreds of Garuda Panjalu soldiers have been aiming at them with their arrows. Not to mention the soldiers behind her who were also ready to support their comrades with unsheathed weapons.

This was truly a difficult choice for Demung Gombang. If it gave up, the possibility of living was still great even though it was possible that its subordinates would divulge the secrets of their movements. But if they fight, they will surely die under the barrage of arrows of Panjalu soldiers.

Mmmmmm..

There was a heavy snorting from Demung Gombang. At this time his dead men's lives depended on his utterances. While grasping tightly the handle of the keris in his right hand, Demung Gombang looked like he was desperate.

"My men!

We are the Jenggala. Dead and alive only for the Wolf! Tomorrow we might die, even if now what difference does it make?!

Bring as many Wong Panjalu as possible to accompany us to hell! Everyone, serraaaaaaanggggggggggggggg....!!!!!"

A loud shout from Demung Gombang's mouth loudly rang out before the plontos-headed man started jumping towards the Panjalu soldiers.

Seeing the movement of the leader of this security rioter, Senopati Naratama immediately swung his machete forward as a gesture to the soldiers of the sharpshooter to carry out their duties.

Shhhrriegg shhrriegg!!!!

Hundreds of arrows instantly shot towards these assassins from the Jenggala Kingdom. Shouts of horror mixed with half-dead fear mixed with swearing rang out from the mouths of the assassins.

"Fuck fucker you wong Panjalu.."

"My son down will avenge this, you son of a bitch..."

"I still want to live, God.. I don't want to die here...!!!"

A blink of an eye later...

Jllleeeeeeppppphhh jllleeeeeeeeppppphh..

Aaaarrrgggghhhh auuggghhhh...!!!

Heart-wrenching loud screams sounded from the mouths of Demung Gombang's subordinates. The rain of arrows had just instantly killed dozens of people in the blink of an eye. Others are still alive but also with bodies stuck in arrows. Only those who have the ability of martial arts that can still survive from the rain of arrows Panjalu soldiers.

Whereas when the heavy rain of arrows of Panjalu soldiers rained down on his body, Demung Gombang used his Ajian Devil's Tread of Hell to destroy all the arrows that shot towards him.

Blllaaaaaarrr blllaaaaaarrr blllaaaaaaaarrr!!

Dozens of arrows instantly shattered in the air before they could hit Demung Gombang's body. The thick-bodied man with the head of the plontos was safe but when he landed, a terrifying sight immediately spread before his eyes.

Seeing the death of his men, Demung Gombang immediately rose in blood. However, they are the ones who have always been friends and allies in carrying out their duties as Jenggala code. Of all the men who reached hundreds of people earlier, now only 8 people are still standing upright. The remaining 15 people are still alive, though almost dead.

"Fuck motherfucker!!!

All of you must die with me!!", cried Demung Gombang as he darted rapidly towards Jaka Umbaran and the princes of the palace of the Kingdom of Panjalu.

Seeing that, Gendol immediately saluted the young prince.

"Allow the servant who advances Gusti Prince..

Earlier the servant was beaten by him, it was time to avenge his actions" Gendol said immediately.

"Be careful Ndol.. This one is quite tough.", after hearing the approval of Jaka Umbaran, Gendol immediately turned the twin mace in both of his hands before moving to retrace the movement of Demung Gombang.

Seeing Gendol advance, Besur, Baratwaja and Resi Simharaja also immediately came crashing forward towards the subordinates of Demung Gombang who were still alive. The fierce fighting resumed.

Gendol who moved forward, instantly swung the two small mace in his hand towards Demung Gombang's body. One leads to the head and the other goes to the waist.

Whhhuuuuuutttth!!

Demung Gombang also immediately hit the Gendol mace with both palms of his blackish red.

Bhhuuuuuugggh!!!

Gendol almost fell stranded if he did not immediately change his body movements quickly. As he growled loudly, this large tall man with sparse teeth immediately channeled his energy in a high degree to his twin mace. His mouth immediately blurted out the mantra of Ajian Gada Lightning. From the surface of the twin mace, there appeared a splash of bluish-white light like the color of lightning that struck.

After that happened, Gendol immediately shot towards Demung Gombang by swinging the mace in his right hand towards the head of the plontos man.

"Break your head, bald savage!!

Hiiyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat...."

Demung Gombang immediately jumped back. As a result, Gendol's mace directly hit the land where he stood.

Bhhuuuuummmmmmmmm!!

Seeing his attack fail miserably, Gendol twisted his body as quickly as possible and immediately threw the mace in his left hand towards Demung Gombang who was moving backwards. The cudgel immediately shot towards the plontos-headed man.

Bllaaaaaarrr!!

The cudgel chirped towards the owner but Gendol was no longer in place. Demung Gombang immediately looked up and saw Gendol was already on top of him while swinging the mace with both hands holding the handle.

Apparently after throwing his mace towards Demung Gombang, Gendol immediately stepped hard on the ground and jumped high towards the opponent. So his mace throw at the beginning was just a diversion attack before the main attack he launched.

"Modar kowe, bald savage!!!"

Whhhuuuugggh...

Demung Gombang who was shocked did not play to see the appearance of Gendol's attack from above, trying hard to hold with his right hand palms that are blackish red due to Ajian Devil's Tread of Hell. But he was still defeated quickly by the impact of the Gendol mace that was layered in a bluish-white light.

Bhhuuuuugggh!

AAAARRGGGGGGGHHH!!!

Demung Gombang screamed loudly when Gendol's mace was pounding his head. At that instant, his head instantly broke and let out his head contents. The thick-bodied man with the head of the plontos and moustache immediately collapsed to the ground. He died at the hands of Gendol.

Phhuuiiiiii..

"That's a reply to you who dared to beat my face, bald savage! I'm not married yet, if my face is broken, any woman would like me. You son of a bitch!", maki Gendol while kicking Demung Gombang's corpse until the lifeless body was immediately floated towards the corpses of his subordinates.

On the other hand, Baratwaja managed to capture one of them alive while Resi Simharaja and Besur slaughtered these security rioters mercilessly. The four of them immediately stepped towards the nobles of the Panjalu Kingdom who were gathered in front of the Katang-katang Palace.

"You're apparently as smart as your father, Baratwaja", praise Prabu Bameswara for seeing Baratwaja approaching while putting his dagger to the neck of Demung Gombang's only surviving subordinate.

"Hamba still does not understand, why is catching this sneak considered smart Gusti Prabu?", said Besur immediately. Hearing that question, both Prabu Bameswara and Mapanji Jayabaya smiled faintly.

"Because he is the only clue there is, the Besur..

Hey you, tell me. Where exactly are you from? And why are you doing this?", Prabu Bameswara turned his attention to the burly man. For a moment he was silent. Seeing that, Besur immediately acted.

Plllaaaackdickk..

"Jawab question Gusti Prabu. You want to die quickly huh ha?", snapped Besur while sticking the face of the man who was about 3 decades old.

"Juru Besur, don't play with your hands..

We have to be subtle and gentle when questioning a killer like him. But if he does not want to talk, you tell me later I will help you chop his body", said Prince Mapanji Jayagiri with a smile knot. Apparently the subtle speech of the future king Galuh Pakuan was directly impacting on the courage of Demung Gombang's subordinates.

"Pardon the servant of Gusti.. Servants are only small people, only subordinates.

Servant still has a little child who needs his father", the burly man's hiba is clear.

"Not much talk. Just answer, don't be convoluted", Besur snapped while glancing at the man.

"We are the messengers of Jenggala. Ki Demung Gombang is the main leader in our group. From what I heard, the person who sent Ki Demung Gombang was a noble in Kotaraja Kahuripan Palace. That's all I know" said the man stammering.

"Basic brash!!

Maharani Uttejana once promised me to never attack the Kingdom of Panjalu again but this time he secretly threw stones in his hands. This cannot be left alone" said Prabu Bameswara as he clenched his hands tightly. His eyes gleamed furiously after hearing the answer from Demung Gombang's subordinate man.

"Hold your anger first, Kangmas Prabu Bameswara..

Now the important thing in this matter is to find out who the Jenggala spies are in this Kotaraja Daha until they can enter into this Katang-katang Palace", the speech of Prince Mapanji Jayagiri immediately made Jaka Umbaran immediately turn to the burly man who was kneeling on this land.

"Tell us, who is the one who became the spy in Kotaraja Daha?

Don't try to cover it up if you still love your life", Jaka Umbaran looked at the man immediately.

"Ki Ki Mertalaya yes she is a person..."

Shhrrieg!! Chfreeppppphi..

Aaauuugggghhhhh!!!

Not yet had the burly man finish his talk, a poisonous needle shot out quickly from the left side towards his neck. It happened so fast that everyone couldn't stop it. The man immediately fell to the ground with his mouth open and pulled out a white foam sign that he was poisoned.

"Suckers! Who would dare challenge my authority?

Soldiers, check everyone !! Catch everyone who carries chopsticks in this place. Also Ki Mertalaya brought here alive or dead. Hurry!!", said King Panjalu Maharaja Sri Bameswara loudly.

Hearing the orders of the Ruler of the Kingdom of Panjalu, the Panjalu soldiers immediately moved combing Kotaraja Daha. Under the leadership of Tumenggung Setawahana, they immediately surrounded the residence of the Ki Mertalaya family. After the search, the house was empty.

They immediately approached the mumenggung to report this situation. Hearing this report, Tumenggung Setawahana immediately gave an order, saying,

"Pursue them until they're caught!"
