JAYABAYA: The Journey of Being a Legend
Civil War (part 2)

Duke Lokawijaya immediately grabbed his heirloom keris lying on a small table in the corner of his bedroom room. He could no longer wear the crown of his greatness anymore. What I just heard was a big deal.

So in a hurry, Duke Lokawijaya did not have time to open the door of his bedroom and immediately kicked it until the bedroom door leaf was out of place. Dayang palace who stood in front of the door of the room was no doubt immediately jumped out. The ill-fated palace dayang hurriedly rose from the place of his fall and again approached the Duke of Paguhan.

"Sat!

Where have the courtiers gone? Why didn't anyone report this to me? What is their work?", Adipati Lokawijaya's nagging.

"Please forgive Gusti Adipati..

The retainers seemed to have gathered in front of the Great Pendopo. They were waiting for the arrival of Gusti Adipati", when they heard that, without waiting for a long time the Duke of Lokawijaya rushed to leave his private residence towards the Grand Duchy of Paguhan.

In front of Pendopo Agung, dozens of courtiers including Patih Pandusena and Advisor Mpu Sukracaya as well as several army officers have been waiting. The arrival of the Duke of Lokawijaya immediately made them salute the ruler of the Duchy of Paguhan.

"Our respect to Gusti Adipati Lokawijaya", they said simultaneously.

"That's enough, stop your manners in situations like this.

Now tell me, what kind of situation is going on right now?", asked Duke Lokawijaya immediately.

"Please forgive Gusti Adipati..

Rebel forces from the west have managed to break through the city gate. Their number is approximately 5 thousand soldiers. Senopati Giriwangsa has deployed soldiers under the leadership of Tumenggung Darmogati to repel them.

Senopati Giriwangsa himself tried to defend the southern part of the city from the rebels. The number of enemies is about 20 thousand people. It seems that in the south is the main force of these rebels" said Tumenggung Gupati who is a soldier officer who serves as the palace guard and the leader of the Duke's personal guard.

"If on the east side, the rebels have made it into the city. Although their numbers were not too many, yet they seemed to be high-scientific warriors. Some of the soldier officers who tried to stop them had been killed.

It looks like they are people from Kali Luk Ulo Valley in Pakuwon Panjer region led by Mpu Wiritanaya, Gusti Adipati", said Demung Wiyasa, a subordinate of Tumenggung Gupati immediately.

Mmmmmm..

"Panjers? I had guessed that they really wanted to rebel a long time ago. I should have scorched the earth Pakuwon Panjer long ago", the Duke of Lokawijaya clenched his hands tightly upon hearing Demung Wiyasa's report.

"But in fact Mpu Wiritanaya was not the main leader of this rebel, Nakmas Adipati.

The brains behind this are all your half-brother Prabhaswara who leads the rebel forces from the south side. What I was worried about turned out to be really happening" said Patih Pandusena as she stroked her beard.

"The bastard was apparently hemm...

Tumenggung Gupati and Paguhan army officers all, I command you to defend this Paguhan Duchy Palace to the point of final blood. Are you ready to do it?", Duke Lokawijaya spread his gaze to all the high officers and enlisted soldiers present at the place.

"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Adipati!", said everyone at the same time while respecting the Duke of Lokawijaya. After that, they all immediately disbanded to work according to the orders given to them. Duke Lokawijaya himself immediately went back into the palace to prepare himself. Shortly after, he returned wearing his armor. Then along with his personal bodyguards, he immediately rushed towards the top of the palace wall that became the last defensive fortress.

As soon as he reached the top of the palace walls, he saw a terrifying sight. Thick smoke soared into the air everywhere along with the blazing flames. The clanking of the clashing weapons following heart-wrenching screams rang out from the mouth of the soldier who met his end. The state of Paguhan Duchy City was now completely chaotic.

"Fuck Prabhaswara!

I myself will kill your life if you get close to this palace!", grumbled Duke Lokawijaya who was so furious to see what was going on in this city of his power.

On the eastern side of Paguhan Duchy, rebel forces from the Pakuwon Panjer region continued to advance towards the palace. Although their numbers are not too many, but the training they have been doing for decades is really useful to help them urge the Paguhan soldiers under the leadership of Tumenggung Janjangkeling.

All members of this rebel group do have a science of kanuragan high enough when compared with the Paguhan soldiers, until the death toll on the Paguhan soldiers fell quickly. Of the 5 thousand soldiers led by Tumenggung Janjangkeling, now there are only about 3 thousand soldiers left while the rebels led by Mpu Wiritanaya only lost about 700 soldiers from 5 thousand followers.

How furious Tumenggung Janjangkeling saw his soldiers killed easily by the rebel soldiers. He then rampaged uncontrollably in the middle of the battlefield. Dozens of rebels from Pakuwon Panjer were killed at his hands.

Mpu Wiritanaya, the leader of the rebel group that invaded from the east, saw the tantrum of Tumenggung Janjangkeling increasingly alarming, it immediately shot towards the thick-bodied middle-aged man with the thick mustache and thick beard while thrusting his spear.

Sensing something was moving quickly towards him, Tumenggung Janjangkeling glanced towards the right side. He hurriedly twitched while blasting his sword towards the spear eyes that had almost pierced his neck.

Thhraaar!!!

Both of them immediately complained of their lives with their respective weapons. The battle between the spear user and the sword holder was very exciting in the middle of a battle field that was blazing violently. Each tries hard to bring down the opponent as quickly as possible.

Whhhuuuggghhhh blllaaaaaarrr!!!

Both Mpu Wiritanaya and Tumenggung Janjangkeling both receded several spears backwards after colliding blows that contain energy in a high level.

"I don't think that the big name Mpu Wiritanaya does not need to be doubted. You are able to perfectly balance my Stone Breaking Tread Ajian", praised Tumenggung Janjangkeling as he stared intently at the middle-aged man wearing dark blue clothes immediately.

"Tumenggung Janjangkeling, this is all because you defend the traitorous man. If you're on the right path, of course I won't be able to keep up with you.

Lokawijaya was not the legitimate son of Duke Lokananta. He's Queen Banuwati's cheating son with that fucker Patih Pandusena. He has no right to be the ruler of the Paguhan region. You shouldn't be defending the wrong people" said Mpu Wiritanaya, clutching her spear handle tightly.

"I don't care about it all, Mpu Wiritanaya. For me, anyone who wants to tear apart the contents of this city, then I Tumenggung Janjangkeling who will be his opponent" said Tumenggung Janjangkeling while turning the sword hilt that looks wet with fresh blood.

"Blind loyalty is the true form of ignorance, Tumenggung Janjangkeling. You force to defend Lokawijaya, then I will not hesitate to finish you off!"

After saying so, Mpu Wiritanaya immediately threw her spear towards Tumenggung Janjangkeling with all her might. Simultaneously, he darted swiftly following the movements of the spear with both of his hands emitting a yellowish-green light with a rushing chill.

Seeing that, Tumenggung Janjangkeling rushed to snap his hands straight forward, then stretched wide to the left right side and then made a circular motion. Simultaneously, a thin, semicircular blue light shield was created around the body of the mainstay officer of the Duchy of Paguhan. The spear that was thrown towards him immediately stopped darting and stuck in the air.

Mpu Wiritanaya snorted loudly for the umpteenth time after seeing the throwing of his spear in the energy field in a high level able to be held by Tumenggung Janjangkeling. The old man from Pakuwon Panjer immediately jumped high into the air and slid down by fusing his two fists lined with a yellowish green light to hit the ground.

Bhhuuuummmmm!!

Strong tremors like a great earthquake instantly propagated rapidly in all directions. The horses of martial arts Tumenggung Janjangkeling waver until his body is shaken. This caused the supernatural shield to disappear and the spear thrown by his opponent to slide rapidly towards him. But he was able to twitch when the tip of the spear blade almost pierced his neck.

But he still could not escape death after Mpu Wiritanaya darted quickly towards his side and sent a yellowish green light towards him.

Whhhuuutth!!

Mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

The body of Tumenggung Janjangkeling immediately exploded and shattered into pieces. His flesh pieces spread out in all directions. He died horribly.

Once the main leader of Paguhan's soldiers was killed, the remaining Paguhan soldiers were like chickens losing their mother. Their movement was chaotic and some time later they scattered to save themselves towards the palace of the Duchy of Paguhan. The rebels led by Mpu Wiritanaya immediately pursued them.

On the other hand, the rebel forces led by Jaka Umbaran also managed to urge the Paguhan soldiers under the leadership of Tumenggung Darmogati. Death tolls from both sides. This Paguhan army held out in front of the gate of the Paguhan Duchy palace with all its remaining strength.

Tumenggung Darmogati who had been seriously injured brought the rest of his soldiers to retreat towards the palace of Kadipaten Paguhan. There they also met with the rest of the Tumenggung Janjangkeling troops who were in disarray against the onslaught of Mpu Wiritanaya troops.

While the Paguhan army under the leadership of Senopati Giriwangsa itself was also unable to withstand the attack of rebel forces under the leadership of Prabhaswara. The force is now united with other Paguhan forces to survive the onslaught of rebel forces. The war continues to rage fiercely. Thousands of corpses of soldiers from both the Paguhan Duchy Palace and the rebels were scattered everywhere. The screams of pain from the mouths that were dying from the wounds they received were truly heartbreaking. The thick smoke from some of the buildings that were burning, further added to the terrible scenery in Paguhan Duchy City.

Jaka Umbaran, who had just ended the Tumenggung Darmogati resistance, darted quickly towards a fierce fight between Prabhaswara and Senopati Giriwangsa who had been seriously injured. When Jaka Umbaran arrived, Prabhaswara rubbed his blood-soaked sword after slashing the neck of the warrior leader of Paguhan Duchy. Mpu Wiritanaya also arrived near Prabhaswara.

"Uncle Prabhaswara, the,

Next what is our step?", asked Jaka Umbaran immediately. Mpu Wiritanaya also stared at Prabhaswara's red face splashed with fresh blood from his enemies. Raising his sword high into the air, Prabhaswara immediately shouted out loud,

"Fighter Paguhan's palace...!!!"
