The Ancestral Country
Pakuwon Watugaluh
Somewhere east of the Watugaluh and Tamwelang borders.
Five masked men half-face, sitting flanked by about 200 followers. They were waiting for the arrival of the Hill Devil Jerangkong and his disciple's son. The sky began to be orange sign soon dusk will come down.
The Black Hill Robbers were five fellow students of the Black Hill College who were famous for their abominations. They were the most wanted fugitives during the reign of the Prabu Airlangga reigned in Kahuripan.
They consist of 4 men and 1 woman.
Their leader is known as the God of Robbery. The big tall male was very vile to torture his prey in various ways.
His quarrel with the Demon Sword occurred when the Robbed God and the Demon Sword's younger brother named Janaloka were fighting over the women in the brothel in the capital Kahuripan. Janaloka was killed in the fight.
From the east came thousands of people dressed all in black with black headbands with skull-shaped ornaments.
"Lurah e, they have arrived" shouted a follower of the Black Hill Robbers.
The God of Robber and his four younger brothers immediately stood up and came out from his resting place. Not out of respect, but just not wanting to deal with the high-scientific Jerangkong Hill Devil. The five of them were not necessarily capable of facing the Jerangkong Hill Devil alone. Especially now with all his students, to win was very unlikely.
"Good, apparently the Robbing God himself welcomed my arrival" said the Straw Hill Devil immediately jumped down from his horse.
"Of course I appreciate you the Devil of Jerangkong Hill. You are the leader of the martial world army appointed directly by Gusti Mapanji Garasakan. Hearing your orders, is the same as hearing Gusti Garasakan's own words", said the God of Robber while bowing his body.
Hahaha
"Good good old robbing. We're partying together tonight. Tomorrow morning we raze Watugaluh with the ground", the Devil of Jerangkong Hill laughed out loud.
The members of Padepokan Bukit Jerangkong immediately set up a temporary tent to spend the night there.
That night they drank rice until they got drunk.

Meanwhile, at the palace Pakuwon Watugaluh, so heard the news that said that the black school army led by Devil Hill Jerangkong had arrived, Tumenggung Ardanata immediately gathered all the high-ranking officers of the Daha and Pakuwon Watugaluh soldiers.
"Based on the news I just found out, they numbered about 1700 people. On the North side were 300 members of the Ghost Valley. On the east side there are 1100 members of Jerangkong Hill and Black Hill. On the south side there are about 300 members of the Blue Scorpion", Ardanata explained to the soldiers' high officers.
"According to the speech of the Garuda Panjalu Team envoy, they were able to face the Blue Scorpion on the south side. We just think about the North and East side" continued the Tumenggung Ardanata.
"What if the troops from Watugaluh confronted the troops from the north Gusti Tumenggung? Watugaluh's army numbered about 300 soldiers, I think able to face the Valley of Ghosts", Bekel Setyaka respect on Tumenggung Ardanata.
The pair of Silver Sriti invited by Akuwu Watugaluh nodded in agreement. So is the Goddess of Iron Fan and Angel Tread.
Tumenggung Ardanata immediately turned to look at Tumenggung Wiguna who nodded.
"Alright, you guys head off the Ghost Valley. Let our east side face" said Tumenggung Ardanata.
All of them immediately disperse to rest as well as possible because tomorrow they will complain of life on the field of action.

In the camp tent of Garuda Panjalu troops, it appears that all army officers are hearing the strategy of war from Watugunung Panji. In front of them lay some stones arranged to resemble the state of the ground around Watugaluh. The Watugunung banner holds a dry wooden branch.
"Sounds good.
Ludaka and you Landung, bring five warriors who can ride fast. Lure the Blue Scorpion troops to enter the route that has been prepared trap.
As they entered the forest near this town, let it be. Once they enter this hillside, the traps you have prepared will come in handy. Burn the wood before releasing it.
Rajegwesi, it's your job to keep no one from getting away.
Kakang Warigalit, Uncle Saketi and one hundred and fifty troops will confront those who are moving towards the palace. Me and the rest of the army will be surrounded from behind.
Do you understand my explanation?", Panji Watugunung stared at everyone's face under the big tent.
"We understand Gusti Prince's intentions", they answered compactly.
"Well how about I Kangmas?", asked Ayu Galuh who wanted to be involved in this war.
"Listen Dinda Galuh, this war is no joke. Tomorrow you will be taken care of by Ratri and some female soldiers in supplies. So you guard our camp tents only", replied Watugunung while looking at the face of Ayu Galuh.
"Did Kangmas underestimate my martial skills?", Ayu Galuh asked.
"No Dinda Galuh, I know that as long as I was a messenger, you practiced hard martial arts.
I trust your abilities. But you are the daughter of King Daha. If you get hurt in this battle, do you think Gusti Prabu Samarawijaya will spare my life? It's not just about your martial skills. I hope you understand Dinda", replied Watugunung, smiling at Ayu Galuh.
"Well Kangmas, Galuh obeyed the Kangmas Panji Watugunung. But Kangmas Panji had to promise, once the fight was over, had to pick me up immediately", Ayu Galuh lowered her face.
"Yes, I promise", replied Panji Watugunung with a meaningful smile.
That night they rested. Panji Watugunung slept with his four wives.
The morning before arriving, everyone immediately woke up and prepared to head to the field of action. After eating together, they prayed to Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa that this fight they could win. Do not forget the Goddess Srimpi gave a poison antidote pill to everyone.
Everyone immediately rushed towards the direction shown by the Watugunung Panji.
Warigalit and Ki Saketi quickly rode towards the small forest in front of the Pakuwon Watugaluh gate.
Rajegwesi led an archery force to take a position in the trees across the barren hill.
Jarasanda and Manahil immediately moved quickly towards the top of the barren hill south of the Pakuwon Watugaluh gate. They immediately set up a trap that they had set before him.
The Watugunung banner and its three concubines, as well as Gumbreg, Weleng, Widerba and Gubarja and some of the remaining soldiers hid behind the lush trees.
Ludaka and Landung quickly moved towards the Blue Scorpion members across the small river. After they got off their horses, they moved quickly towards the Blue Scorpion members who were busy chatting on the bank of a small river.
Ludaka immediately threw his secret weapon at the Blue Scorpion member who was sitting waiting for the sound of buffalo horn trumpet to ring.
The sringgg sringgg
The Blue Scorpion members who did not accept the attack immediately hunted Ludaka and his comrades without waiting for the command of the army leadership.
The Blue Scorpion Goddess who leads her members directly still enjoys the food served when a member enters the tent.
"Ampuni Guru's servant, the Daha warriors rampaged by the river. They killed at least 15 of our Master's members".
"Bad!
How dare they attack us first. We don't have to wait for the cue from the old devil. Come attack Watugaluh", shouted the Blue Scorpion Goddess growled.
The middle-aged woman immediately tied her sword at the waist and immediately glanced at the Old Poison that was next to her. The Blue Scorpion Goddess immediately jumped onto her horse in the follow by the entire Blue Scorpion members.
"Let's attack Watugaluh", cried Old Poison while pounding his horse. Low boisterous cries soon sounded as the Blue Scorpion members moved swiftly towards the southern gate of Pakuwon Watugaluh.
Ludaka and Landung continued to drive his horse towards the southern gate of Pakuwon Watugaluh. Behind them hundreds of people chased after them with unsheathed weapons.
As soon as the Blue Scorpion members crossed the road beside the barren hill, suddenly there was a rumbling sound coming down from the barren hill.
Dozens of huge rocks rolled quickly. On the tailings of the large burning logs rolled towards the members of the Blue Scorpion.
"Comebody!
It's a trap" cried the Old Poison but it was too late.
The screams of pain due to being hit by a large stone that was followed by logs that burned by fire suddenly left dozens of Blue Scorpion members dead. Back the ball of dry grass ball slid down from the top of the hill.
Arimbi and Laras immediately aim for a ball of dried grass with their fiery arrows.
Whutttt whutttt
Creppp
The dry grass ball immediately burned and rolled into anything that passed through it.
Old Poison, Blue Scorpion Goddess, Scorpion Legs, and Poison Serpent jumped here and there avoiding the traps that came to change. More than half of the Blue Scorpions were killed and seriously injured by the booby traps set up.
"Basar rat Daha sneaky.
They would pay for this all", the Blue Scorpion Goddess was furious to see the large number of her students killed and injured.
"Let's go ahead all of you", cried the Old Poison.
Before they entered the town of Pakiwon Watugaluh, arriving at Warigalit, Ki Saketi and Mpu Seti emerged from the small forest and blocked their pace. Each had held a weapon unsheathed from its scabbard.
From the top of the barren hill, Jarasanda and Manahil immediately jumped down in the follow by his troops.
From behind the lush trees, Panji Watugunung and his three concubines and his troops appeared with their respective weapons.
A heavy battle soon ensued.
Warigalit immediately turned his short spear quickly and charged towards the Blue Scorpion member while thrusting his Wind Spear.
Creppp
Aughhhhh
The ill-fated Blue Scorpion member was killed when Warigalit's Wind Spear pierced his left chest.
Warigalit continued to move quickly while swinging his Wind Spear. In some ways, already 4 lives Blue Scorpion members lost their lives at his hands.
Seeing his men falling dead, the Old Poison immediately jumped towards Warigalit.
"Fuckers!!!
I'm taking your life"
