Sanggana 6 Agreements Muara Jerit
Examiner 44: Gusti Raja

*Evenue String Agreement (Traffic)*

“Mother Digdaya city is very crowded by the team,” comments Nyai Bale. “And why does the place have to be here? Look, my feet are dirty by mud.”

Ki Pulung and his three fellow hitmen turned to look at Nyai Bale's feet. There were traces of mud on both legs and the tip of the magical woman's pants.

“It turns out that the magician can be mired also in the mud,” said Ki Pulung. He's the most deserving and brave man to tick off Nyai Bale.

“Hihihi!” nyai Bale Laughter.

“Who came to Nyai offer this job?” ask Ki Pulung.

“Utusan Gusti King. You think Gusti Raja will go down directly all the way to Werang just to see me?” answer Nyai

“Did Nyai ever get a task?” ask Ki Pulung.

“Not yet. About whose duty do I deserve to kill? It's my first kill assignment,” asked Nyai Bale like a new kid.

“Killing Prabu Galang, Nyai,” chirps Hard Bull.

“If I could kill that mighty king, maybe I would become the lord of the Sky Sand. Hihihi!” nyai Bale said that it turned out to be a low profile, likes to joke and laugh.

“Ki Pulung, as great as your group was failed to kill Princess Ani,” said Cira Keling.

“How do you know?” asked Ki Pulung with a look of dislike to the woman who was not clear of her beauty.

“Before I came here, I saw Princess Ani was outside the Palace. It's a sign your people are failing. Or even they all die?” answer Cira Keling.

“Is Princess Ani a highly devoted girl?” ask Nyai Bale.

“No, but the person with him,” replied Ganteng Susa.

“True. I saw Princess Ani with a magic swordsman,”, said Cira Keling.

Suddenly they stopped talking and a glance was diverted to a dark passageway. It was not the passageway they had entered, but another passageway.

Two men dressed in red and red armed with spears were like ten men in the passageway of the cave mouth, coming out of the dark passageway and then standing at the mouth of the passage as guards.

Behind the two men in a spear, there was a black-robed figure that covered his face with a swirl of red cloth. The absence of a torch inside the hall made the figure look dark as well. He stopped inside, not getting out. It seemed like the cloaked figure had deliberately wanted to conceal the identity of his form.

“My respect, Gusti Raja!” said Cira Keling first while menjura respect towards the hallway.

“My respect, Gusti Raja!” said others while respecting, including Nyai Bale who became the most dutiful paid person in the place.

“Wake!” the command of the cloaked man.

They all went back up straight. Although the cloaked figure called Gusti King was inside the passageway, but he could see the five mercenaries.

“We can only kill two ministers. Two others could not be killed. The failure of your men at Muara Jerit, Ganteng Susa, complicates our next destination. Evidently, the six Upper Human Groups that attacked the Princess Guesthouse all died at the hands of Prabu Galang himself. The Minister of Finance is now guarded by Four Anchors of Death. It makes it harder to kill the Minister of Finance,” Gusti Raja said in a tirade.

Actually if you hear the type of voice of the cloaked man, you can guess who he really is. But alas, his voice could only be read, it could not be heard.

“Stay it failed!” snapped the man in the hallway. “I pay you guys not to fail. That failure greatly allowed the Palace to know who was the person behind this attack. I and my entire family will be destroyed. Who knew Princess Ani's savior?”

“My people don't know that swordsman. The science is very high,” said Ganteng Susa.

“That guy wears a red vest?” ask Cira Keling to Ganteng Susa.

“Iya,” Java Ganteng Susa.

“So I saw the Capital Security Forces and Mountain Foot Force besieging and ambushing the red-vests swordsman. He easily destroyed the Mountain Leg Army. Then Princess Ani appeared and went missing with the man,” Cira Keling said.

“Actually I want Nyai Bale to execute Princess Ani. However, Prabu Galang has also stepped in. All the officials of the Palace were already on alert and surrounded by special forces and royal warriors. I want this attack to be stopped temporarily until the atmosphere calms down again and the Palace again lowers the level of caution. For a while you secure yourself, because Prabu Galang has sent troops to Busung Bay to look for you. The sword you left behind has become evidence. At a time when the condition of the Palace and the Capital is on high alert, we can force it, but it will also be high risk. We'll wait a week and two weeks. New order will I send to you guys with password ‘one attack’,” Gusti Raja said rather long.

“How about our payment, Gusti Raja?” ask Gedek Gelek.

“Don't worry about that. As agreed. Three days your money will arrive, including for you, Nyai Bale,” Gusti Raja said.

“Hihihi! I'm not feeling good. I haven't worked, but I've been paid,” said Nyai Bale who was preceded by his laugh.

“Your high devotion definitely gets you a much heavier task later,” Gusti Raja said. Then he said to all, “Remember, you and your people, must name only one name if caught and even if you are already on the verge of death.”

“For that, Gusti Raja can already prove. All of our dead people, just mention one name,” said Gedek Gelek.

“Iya, I know that. I just remind you guys in the future,” Gusti Raja said. “Before I leave, is there anything you want to ask?”

“Didn't sending troops to the Gulf Kingdom of Busung tantamount to challenging the war, Gusti Raja?” ask Ki Pulung.

“True, if there is no cooperation from the Gulf Kingdom of Busung. That path I will take to take the territory of the Sky Sand Kingdom one by one,” Gusti Raja said. “You don't have to think about how. You will carry out my orders enough. You will be rich.”

“What if I fail to carry out the task and get killed?” ask Nyai Bale.

“You mean your payment, Nyai?” ask Gusti King.

“True. Hihihi!”

“Will I give it to your children,” replied Gusti Raja. “But I'm too stupid to believe your incompetence, Nyai.”

“Hihihi!” nyai Bale Laughter.

“I think enough. For a while you can go home and rest. What I hope, you guys should have a better strategy to kill Princess Ani,” Gusti Raja said.

The black-robed figure then turned around and walked over into the passageway. The two spearheaded men immediately turned around and escorted his master.

“Far away I came just to go home,” complains Nyai Bale.

“Came just to plunge feet into the swamp mud. Hahaha!” gedek Gelek said and laughed.

“We go home now and arrange the attack strategy more neatly,” said Ki Pulung then walked towards the mouth of the cave first.

They went outside and left the hidden cave.

Just leaks. Actually the location of the cave was not far from the back wall of the Sky Sand Palace. (BH)
