" So we'd better go back to Sunda Kelapa,.. Senopati,..?" tanya Ki Lurah Lintang Panjer.
" Well, you should immediately go to Sunda Coconut, keep monitoring their movements there , if later Melaka fell into the hands of Demak , then they immediately set foot from there,." answer Raka Senggani.
Jati Andara who is with them is reminded of his meeting with Son Raka Jang named Raka Yantra, is a cousin of Senopati Sandi Demak's.
" Adi Senggani, while we were at the warasaba academy, we accidentally met with Raka Yantra, your cousin,." said Jati Andara.
" Hehhh,.."
Raka Senggani was surprised to hear the speech of Bekel's son Kenanga village. He feels like a dream there are still people who are able to meet the child of this Uncle.
" What are you doing at the Warasaba Academy, Kakang Andara,..?" ask Raka Senggani again.
By Jati Andara then told how the two of them with Ki Lintang Panjer Rina had arrived at the Kademangan. And then joined the fight led by Lowo Kumbolo and met with Raka Yantra for the next.
Jati Andara also told her friend that it seems that Raka Yntra was reluctant to meet her parents in Kenanga village, for some reason, Ki Bekel's son did not know .
" If that is the case, later after the business is finished in Melaka, Andara's brother take Senggani there,." said Raka Senggani.
" Beres,.and easily adi Senggani back in a safe condition,." said Jati Andara.
They then parted ways with the Lurah warriors Sandi Demak who would return to his duty.
Meanwhile a sizable army has come from Pasai led by Raden Fatahillah.
Directly Senopati from Pasai is to meet and face Kanjeng Sunan Gunung Jati whose palace.
They then gathered to finalize the strategy plan to attack the existing partuguese Fort in Malacca.
" So anakmas before coming here still had time in palembang,..?" tanya Kanjeng Sunan Gunung Jati.
" Right, Kanjeng Sunan, we still had time to stop at Palembang, unfortunately they will leave after the entire Demak army is in Melaka, so they do not need to come here,." answer Raden Fatahillah.
" Dear, really, if they come straight here, we can determine the best steps to take the fort and free our brother from the occupation,." kanjeng Sunan Gunung Jati.
But He could not impose his will on the troops of this palembang. So that finally in the dead plan as before that as senopati Agungnya is Kanjeng Sultan Demak with Senopati right clamp is Tumenggung Shoulder Reksa and senopati pangapit left is Raden Fatahillah replace Senopati Bima Sakti originally occupied that position.
Senopati Milky Way itself is close to the parent force to guard the parent force.
As per the agreement, the fleet departed Demak troops from Cirebon accompanied by a prayer from Kanjeng Sunan Gunung Jati, after they almost a week leaning there.
Back the war drums in Tabuh accompanied the departure of the large Demak troops to Malacca.
Slowly this accompaniment enters the strait of Melaka after a day of sailing with a fairly strong wind, so that the movement of this ship moves closer to the city.
Almost three days, the fleet of Demak troops is there before the enemy forces, although the distance is not too close.
Senopati Agung, Kanjeng Sultan Demak called Senopati Bima Sakti to immediately come to his ship to talk about the attack they launched.
" How Senopati Bima Sakti, whether it is time we attack, " asked Kanjeng Sultan Demak.
After Senopati was in his ship.
" I apologize in advance , Kanjeng Sinuwun, maybe we should wait for the troops from the palembang to come." replied Raka Senggani.
" Kang Senopati but it will wait how long , until now there has been no sign of their arrival, "said Raden Arya Wangsa.
" It is true that the Aryan kangmas said, until when we will wait for them, while the enemy has been in sight" said Raden Abdullah Wangsa.
" But if according to the servant, I agree with Angger Senopati, we better wait for the troops from Palembang,." said Tumennggung Bahu Reksa.
Similarly, said by Raden Fatahillah, it is better to wait for troops from the Kingdom of Palembang that the attack can be carried out.
Finally Kanjeng Gusti Sinuwun agreed to wait for the arrival of the Palembang troops by delaying a day, this attack.
On that night, the Portuguese forces had prepared a plot to take down the warship that was being carried by the Sultan of Demak's Kanjeng Gusti.
Inside the fortress of La Forteza, several high-ranking officers from the Portuguese military forces were negotiating to deal with the attack that would be carried out by Sultan Demak.
One of the Portuguese generals Alfonso de herera said more they crippled Jung's ship of the sultan of Demak so that the war quickly ended.
" General .indeed to say it is much easier than doing it , as we have known that in the past, it was much easier, It was the ship of Sultan Demak that was not affected by our cannon fire." said another Portuguese officer.
He said this because he also participated in the first war against the Demak Kingdom's troops. So that he knows the greatness and advantages of this Sarjawala Senopati Ship.
" But now we have Esfera cannons that are larger and farther in range. , unlike the bombardment cannon or lela cannon that we used at that time,.." sahut general Alfonso de herera.
Everything in this place justifies this general's utterance, indeed at that time they did not have a cannon as big as Esfera cannon so their attack was not able to destroy Apilan existing ship owned from Senopati Sarjawala.
" Yes, that is our duty to direct this ship owned by Sultan Demak approaching this fort, so that it can be reached by our Esfera Cannon, ." explained Alfonso de herera.
But the top brass of the Portuguese army felt it was a very difficult job. If you have to direct the warship owned by Sultan Demak.
" But nothing is difficult if we try, later our warship carries out intimidation towards this Battleship from Sultan Demak. of course he will soon pursue our ship that moves faster, of course if he does not think too much about the matter of our weapons, of course he will continue to pursue our troops , " general Alfonso de herera.
" And hopefully he doesn't know our pitfalls, so this plan can work out perfectly , moreover, he remembered at a time ago that his Apilan was able to withstand attacks from our cannons, of course he would be more confident approaching the city of Melaka, said Colonel Joao Fernandez.
All who heard it also hoped so, after the decision was taken that they would try to trap the second Sultan Demak's warship, Senopati Sarjawala.
After all the leaders of Demak's army waited for a day, there was no arrival of troops from the kingdom of Palembang then they continued their plan to launch an attack.
In the Armada Demak itself has been agreed that the warship belonging to Kanjeng Gusti Sultan Demak will directly attack enemy forces near the city of Melaka with the note that the warship belongs to Kanjeng Gusti Sultan Demak is resistant to enemy cannon attacks.
Actually Senopati Bima Sakti want to say that the warship belonging to Kanjeng Gusti Sultan not to be too close to the fortress of La Forteza.
" Kanjeng Gusti Sinuwun, in order to keep the distance from Forteza Fort, the Fort La Forteza, the soldiers should be dropped before approaching the place so that the attack from the large cannon can not reach the battleship owned by Kanjeng Gusti Sultan, said Raka Senggani.
Senopati Milky Way has seen for itself how big the cannon will certainly be able to destroy a ship as big as the property of Kanjeng Gusti Sultan Demak.
But Senopati Agung Demak is not too confused with the cannons owned by the enemy forces. This makes the Milky Way Senopati unable to say anything more. Though according to his cannon it is worth to be aware of.
And on the next day , after a day and a day this Demak army stopped by releasing its anchor , now the whole army was moving closer to this city of Melaka.
From the left wing, quickly , Raden Fatahillah brought troops to first open the road. Only then, the warship belonging to Kanjeng Gusti Sultan Demak who drove following him, and then there was behind the Sultan's Jung Ship there was a warship that was boarded by Senopati Bima Sakti.
New from the direction of the right wing, the Commander-in-Chief of the Demak Fleet, namely Tumenggung Shoulder Reksa moves with his ship that is quite large as well.
The accompaniment of the army from Demak is getting closer to the port city of Melaka, and of course this is not allowed by the enemy forces.
When the Sun was directly overhead, the warship belonging to the Kingdom of Demak immediately attacked the Portuguese forces near the port.
Cannon cannon from the warship owned by Sultan Demak is spewing his bullets hit the troops of the Portuguese military.
Some warships from the Portuguese nation had to flee, trying to stay away from the warship owned by Sultan Demak.
Until night , the situation was still won by the Demak Army.
After that they remained in his position, they were already quite close to the city of Melaka.
Again Senopati Sarjawala gathered the leaders of his troops for the war the next day.
After the completion of the morning prayer the next day, accompanied by lafaz takbir, Demak's troops moved back.
Back on that sunny morning the second Sultan Demak's warship spewed bullets from its cannon muzzle mounted on the bow and stern , even from the left and right sides he spewed bullets through rotary cannons, both Rentaka and Cetbang.
Portuguese warships keep their distance so that they are not hit by enemy cannons.
But the advantages of Portuguese ships can move quickly, because their ships are not too big and slimmer, because their ships are not too big, so the cannons from the warships belonging to the Demak Kingdom were a bit difficult to reach them.
On this second day, indeed, as the enemy only gave intimidation, they carried out attacks quickly then they tried to stay away from him.
While the warship owned by Sultan Demak continued to try to approach the enemy ship.
" Kanjeng Gusti Sinuwun, should only be limited to this ship owned by Kanjeng Gusti Sinuwun, then let the cruiser and sailboat only have to chase them ,..Kanjeng Gusti Sultan ship is more waiting here,." explained Raka Senggani.
" But until now their cannons were not able to penetrate my ship, Senopati, so I think it is better to get closer there, only then can the soldiers be dropped and transported by the Ships to land in order to attack the fortress La Forteza from land, said Kanjeng Gusti Sultan Demak.
Back Senopati Milky Way is not able to say anything more, although in his heart does not correspond to the speech of this Lord.
Back on the third day, as if not getting a significant obstacle, then the warship owned by Sultan Demak is getting closer to the city of Melaka, even according to Senopati Bima Sakti, that distance was the range of the large cannon belonging to the Portuguese Army.
On a clear morning accompanied by strong wind gusts, because it was the exact day of the tide, then the warship owned by Sultan Demak was speeding up quite fast, approaching the city of Melaka, while the attack attack given by enemy warships is like nothing, Atilan This warship owned by Sultan Demak is able to withstand every attack given by the enemy.
So that Kanjeng Gusti Sultan Demak ordered the Demak soldiers to go down, in order to immediately make landfall using small ships such as snappers, and the largest was a sailboat.
Raka Senggani then called on Gusti Sultan Demak to immediately stay away from the place.
Because he had seen the strangeness of moving backwards his entire warship owned by the Portuguese.
From the top of his ship, Senopati Milky Way shouted,..
" Kanjeng Sinuwun, immediately pull back the ship owned by Kanjeng Sinuwun from there, they will launch an attack using the cannon that is on the fortress of La Forteza, quickly get away.,.!" his yell.
However, Kanjeng Gusti Sultan Demak did not care much for him, he still dropped his soldiers from his large ship.
