The Ancestral Country
Strategies War
Warigalit was staring sharply across the small river that became the natural boundary of Watugaluh and Tamwelang. From the top of the branch of the large chrombang tree that juts out over the river, it is clear that there is unusual activity across the river. Although he was very close, because the leaves of the wide chrombang disguise the presence of Warigalit perfectly.
The weather at the beginning of the dry season was so bright. Various leaves began to fall because the water began to be difficult. The dry wind that blows from the south adds to the hotter atmosphere.
The thin-moustached man immediately darted between the branches of the large tree that covered the region. He rushed towards the encampment of the soldiers he led.
Not long after, Warigalit had already floated down from a tree near the warrior camp.
Mpu Seti immediately approached Warigalit.
"How was Gusti Warigalit?, was it true that they were gathered across the small river?".
"True Mpu, looking at their blue-colored clothes, it seemed like they were from the Blue Scorpion Academy.
It seems like they are still in their own group and are not united.
If we decide to ambush them, it will be easier to defeat them.
But we also have to wait for Watugunung. We mustn't be rash in acting" Warigalit replied as he stroked his thin mustache.
At the Pakuwon Watugaluh palace, the Tumenggung Ardanata and Tumenggung Wiguna forces filled every corner of the palace. A number of soldiers even had to camp outside the walls of Pakuwon Watugaluh palace.
The atmosphere of Pakuwon Watugaluh City looks quiet. Some traders have opted to close their businesses after heightened tensions. Only a few restaurants and inns dared to open the door. It was also with close supervision from the soldiers of Pakiwon Watugaluh who almost patrolled to every corner of the city.
"Gusti Tumenggung Ardanata, what is our next step?", asked Hangga Amarta the Akuwu Watugaluh.
"We can only stand by Ki Kuwu, preempting to attack them is the same as waging the fire of war with Jenggala. Gusti Prabu Samarawijaya through Mapatih Jayakerti has ordered us not to precede the attack", replied Tumenggung Ardanata who greeted the nod of the head from Tumenggung Wiguna.
"Not moving his Jenggala army is also one of our own questions.
That's what we're worried about", Tumenggung Wiguna chimed in on Tumenggung Ardanata's talk. The young face looked a little worried. The shadow of the Jenggala invasion force in large numbers behind the rioting troops always haunts him.
"It is important that we prepare for the worst. Another problem we think of solving his later sister Wiguna", cut Tumenggung Ardanata.
"I've asked Garuda Panjalu Kakang Ardanata for help. Gusti Pangeran Panji Watugunung has also prepared. They might already be in Watugaluh's territory by now", Tumenggung Wiguna stared at the bright blue daytime sky.
"Yes yes..
I heard that Gusti Prabu Samarawijaya's son-in-law's abilities are amazing. Hopefully he can help us when there are difficulties" said Tumenggung Ardanata while staring at the face of Tumenggung Wiguna.
They share the news and decide what steps to take.
Meanwhile, Garuda Panjalu troops under the leadership of Watugunung Panji were approaching the camp area of Warigalit troops.
Once there they soon joined and built a camp.
Warigalit soon approached Watugunung Panji. Something was troubling his mind.
"Adi Watugunung, something seems to be wrong" Warigalit said, scratching his head.
"What is Kakang Warigalit?", Panji sat himself under a tree outside the camp of the soldiers.
"They don't gather at one point, but they split into 3 different points. Ghost Valley in the North, Black Hill in the middle and Blue Scorpion in the south. What exactly do they want to do? Wouldn't it be that if they wanted to invade Pakuwon Watugaluh, they should have just gathered at one point?", asked Warigalit later.
"Warigalit's back, though,
It's called the Supit Urang war stratagem. Organize large numbers of troops on two sides of the attack, while the middle troops will move slowly to hit in large numbers. It seemed like they were about to raid Pakuwon Watugaluh from two different directions.
It seems like their war strategy is quite good to see from the pattern they arranged", replied Panji Watugunung while scribbling the ground trying to describe how the work of the enemy troops.
"Our stupid brain is not able to think as far as my sister" Warigalit dizzy his head to see the description of Panji Watugunung. Indeed, intelligently, he was far below the Watugunung Panji.
"Then how do we deal with those sisters? Don't you tell me to think of a way" Warigalit chimpanzee.
Hehehehe
"We can prepare several different strategies to deal with them. The easiest thing, we intercept one of the sumit who attacked. All I was worried about was an attack from the North side that might pass the Brantas river", Panji Watugunung stared at the clear sky almost without clouds..
"Shall we send an emissary to Watugaluh to inform our whereabouts here sister, as well as discuss the strategy of the war they used?", asked Warigalit who sat not far from Watugunung Panji.
"Loh, has Kakang not told Pakuwon Watugaluh that we are camping here?", Patugunung Panji asked back.
"Hehehehe has not been a sister. I don't want to step over your leadership. Even if you're my junior brother, but this is how you're the leader. I'm just your follower", Warigalit grimaced.
Panji Watugunung smiled faintly looking at the elder brother.
They immediately rushed towards the large tent that was in the middle of the campground. There gathered soldiers Garuda Panjalu and Mpu Seti from Pakuwon Kunjang.
"Jarasanda and Uncle Saketi..
You enter the city of Pakuwon Watugaluh. Tell the army leaders of Daha and Watugaluh that we are camping here also about the possibility of war Supit Urang they use. Although they are from the martial world and there is a possibility of them attacking at night, but seeing their gathering points in three places, most likely they use this stratagem", Panji Watugunung orders immediately.
"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Pangeran", the two officers of Garuda Panjalu's troops immediately saluted the Watugunung Panji and immediately rushed out of the camp tent.
They immediately jumped on their horses and drove their horses towards Pakuwon Watugaluh palace.

Meanwhile, hundreds of people dressed in plain folk clothes waited for the arrival of troops from Jerangkong Hill Padepokan on the boundary poultice of Tamwelang and Pakuwon Lantir.
Actually they are Jenggala troops who are disguised as ordinary citizens. They were led by a young butenggung named Tumenggung Raka. They are the initial troops prepared to measure the strength of Panjalu. While large forces have been prepared in Tumapel and Lwaram.
From the end of the road at the edge of the small forest, the troops of Jerangkong Hill Padepokan slowly began to enter the place.
The Jenggala army immediately greeted their arrival. Tumenggung Raka walked up to the Jerangkong Hill Devil who was still sitting on his horse. Two soldiers followed the Tumenggung.
"Are you the troops that Mapatih Bayunata has prepared to help us?" said the Devil of Jerangkong Hill.
"If you speak politely. You're dealing with Tumenggung Jenggala Palace. Get off you", shouted a Jenggala soldier who followed Tumenggung Raka.
The Jerangkong Hill Devil was offended by the soldier's remark. Instantly his right hand was covered in a blackish-green light. A moment later, the soldier floated his body like it was sucked into the right hand of the Jerangkong Hill Devil. The soldier's head was stuck to his right palm.
Tumenggung Raka and his entourage were surprised instead of playing.
With a wide grin, the skinny old man's right hand immediately squeezed the soldier's coconut shell.
Krekk!
Blarrr!
"Does anyone want to die again?", the old devil's eyes glared sharply at Tumenggung Raka and his soldiers.
The Jenggala soldiers instantly shrank their guts.
"Facing all of you classmates, will only dirty my hands.
Follow my orders or all of you I finish", cried the Devil of the Straw Hill.
"We have been ordered by Mapatih Bayunata to fully support your actions, the Devil of Jerangkong Hill" said Tumenggung Raka. The young tumenggung heart was horrified to see the ability of the leader of the Kanuragan Padepokan Bukit Jerangkong.
The Hand of Satan, the Demon Sword, Ragupati, the Shadow Devil, the Scorer Demon, and all the main disciples of the Jerangkong Hill Sect only smiled sinisterly looking towards the Jenggala warriors. For them the soldiers were just garbage ready to be sacrificed to occupy Watugaluh.
The Jerangkong Hill Demon Army is now growing in size. Their number is now over 1000. They moved towards the Watugaluh and Tamwelang borders.
**
A warrior who had been coded from the new Daha staked out the movement on the border of Tamwelang and Lantir was scattered towards the encampment of Panji Watugunung.
Panji Watugunung who was chatting with his wife and concubines, immediately turned to the door of the large tent provided for him.
"That's so fucking you. Dare to enter here without prior notice", hardik Ayu Galuh.
"Ampuni servant Gusti Putri, but the servant had to hurry because this was important news", telik cipher looked down in fear.
"Are you bored....."
"Have been quiet before, Dinda Galuh. Don't provoke a ruckus", cut the Watugunung Panji immediately.
The Samarawijaya princess was immediately silent.
"What's the password? What news do you bring?", asked Panji Watugunung immediately.
"A thousand more people are moving west. From a black headband with a skull, it looks like they are members of the Jerangkong Gusti Hill Padepokan. They were likely to arrive at the border later this afternoon", the report said.
"Alright you can go back to your place of duty. Keep reporting if anything else is suspicious", Panji Watugunung raised his right hand.
Telik the cipher immediately saluted the Watugunung Panji and immediately rushed out of the camp.
That afternoon all the army officers gathered in the big tent. Jarasanda and Ki Saketi were also present. Warigalit, Mpu Seti, Ludaka, Gumbreg, Rajegwesi are all present.
"Start tonight, we stand by. Increase alertness to all things.
Rajegwesi, invite your archer troops to prepare in the trees around the forest road to the city of Watugaluh. I'm sure they'll go through there. Remember not to attack before they enter.
Ludaka, lead your men to set traps and traps on the edge of the cliff in their entrance.
Let's all work together in winning this war" said Panji Watugunung who immediately greeted the nod of the head of everyone.
Dozens of Garuda Panjalu soldiers led by Ludaka immediately set a trap. Large stone they carried to the top of the cliff. Dozens of logs they tied behind a cliff. Do not forget the lamp oil from the castor tree they apply on the wood.
Some of the soldiers tied the dried grass to form a large ball of grass.
The archers soaked their arrowheads with castor oil.
Dewi Srimpi was busy concocting hundreds of poison pills at the help of Ratri and Sekar Mayang. Meanwhile Ayu Galuh and Ratna Pitaloka were busy helping the supply soldiers prepare food for the soldiers who were working.
"Unexpectedly, it turns out that today the supply group got lucky" said Gumbreg while grinning himself.
Indeed, the beauty of Ayu Galuh and Ratna Pitaloka is like two sides of a jewel compared to the female officers in the kitchen of the supply team.
"Indeed why Ki Bekel?", asked Weleng who heard the word Gumbreg.
"Looky. Two angels of heaven were busy preparing food. If only they had prepared food for me, uhh I would have spent it with no leftovers", Gumbreg immediately drooled at the thought of food.
"Didn't every meal cooked by the female attendants you always finish Ki?
Let alone for us, for the ants you did not leave behind" said Weleng while looking at the head of the supplies.
Everyone laughed including Ayu Galuh and Ratna Pitaloka heard Weleng's words. Gumbreg immediately glared sharply at Weleng.
"You want me to move to the horse-management section?"
