The Ancestral Country
Troop Headquarters

A man kicked his horse quickly. He has been riding almost all day. Fortunately, the horse includes a good horse, so it can withstand running all day.

Dust flew along his horse's footsteps. His goal is only one, get to Watugaluh as soon as possible.

At Watugaluh palace, Watugunung Panji was sitting with Ki Saketi, Tumenggung Wiguna, Tumenggung Koncar, Warigalit, and Jarasanda in the resting portico of Pakuwon Watugaluh. In front of him, the 5 messengers he sent yesterday, had already returned.

Patugunung Panji smiled as he read the letter he just received.

"You can rest. If I call you later, you can come here" said Panji Watugunung.

"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Pangeran", Bekel Majaya honors at the Watugunung Panji followed by his retainer warriors. They're retreating from the foyer.

"Uncle Saketi, please,

Please call the Goddess Tunjung Biru and Bekel Setyaka here. There's something I need to talk to them about" said Patugunung Panji. Ki Saketi immediately saluted Panji Watugunung and retreated towards Pakuwon Watugaluh pisowan ward.

Not long after, Ki Saketi has returned to the front of the Watugunung Panji and the army officials.

"I'm sorry Gusti Prince, please,

There are things that make Gusti Prince call servants here?", Bekel Setyaka respect followed by Dewi Tunjung Biru.

"I just got a letter from Gusti Prabu Samarawijaya. In essence, I have the right to determine who will be the leader of Watugaluh in the future.

I want to hear your opinion", Panji Watugunung stared at the two of them.

"We obey the orders of Gusti Prince, only if it is permissible for the servant to continue to serve Watugaluh", Bekel Setyaka saluted.

"I'm Kakang too, I'm obedient to you. Whatever your decision I accept", Dewi Tunjung Biru staring at Panji Watugunung.

The son-in-law of the Samarawijaya Emperor smiled.

"Listen to me, please,

Tunjung Biru, you can not be a leader in Pakuwon Watugaluh because you are a girl, but because you are the grandson of Akuwu Watugaluh who died in duty, then I can not ignore you just like that.

Bekel Setyaka, you've been fighting to defend Watugaluh from the vandals. You have also served Watugaluh long enough.

So with this, I decided that I would marry you both. So that the two of you can continue to lead Watugaluh in the future" said Prince Daha.

Both Bekel Setyaka and Dewi Tunjung Biru similarly glared at the words Panji Watugunung. The two of them did not expect that Panji Watugunung made that decision for the two of them.

For a moment they both glanced at each other. After a long sigh, Bekel Setyaka saluted to Panji Watugunung saying, Bekel Setyaka,

"Hamba obeyed Gusti Prince's orders".

Panji Watugunung smiles at Bekel Setyaka's words, then looks towards Dewi Tunjung Biru.

Slowly, the girl nodded in agreement.

That day, Panji Watugunung asked Ki Saketi to prepare a simple wedding ceremony for Setyaka and Dewi Tunjung Biru.

Because it was still a tense atmosphere, they only summoned Begawan Sulapaksi from Klakah to marry them off.

This simple wedding ceremony is sacred and solemn. Although the age is a bit far away, but it does not block the path of unification of the two candidates for leadership Watugaluh.

The aroma of the handlebars and incense filled the entire eastern ward of Pakuwon Watugaluh which became the venue for this event.

Sekar Mayang, Dewi Srimpi, and Ratna Pitaloka smile with their own smile.

"Ah finally the foolish girl got married too. In the future he is no longer chasing Kakang Watugunung", said Sekar Mayang who was greeted by nodding the head of Dewi Srimpi and Ratna Pitaloka.

They certainly don't want to share their husband's love anymore.

After noon, Ludaka ran towards the Watugunung Panji which was still following the wedding ceremony of Bekel Setyaka and Dewi Tunjung Biru.

"I'm sorry to bother Gusti Prince, please,

There was something Gusti Prince needed to see", Ludaka gave a salute.

Patugunung Panji understands. Immediately he stood out from the place of the ceremony following Ludaka's footsteps. The two of them immediately headed towards the gate of Pakuwon Watugaluh palace.

A gatekeeper soldier was giving water to a young man. It was obvious that he had a tired face on the man.

As soon as the Watugunung and Ludaka Panji came, the man hunted in their honor.

"This is a telik cipher that I sent to the border Seloageng Gusti Prince" said Ludaka.

Hmmmm

"What brought you here, took the cipher?", Panji Watugunung stared at the cipher.

"Please forgive Gusti Prince, the new servant got a letter from a fellow servant in Segganggeng. He said about 10 thousand Jenggala soldiers moved from Tumapel towards Daha. They are currently walking and using boats and pedicures to transport supplies", replied the password while breathing.

Panji Watugunung was surprised not to play. 10 thousand troops was not a small number. If until they invaded Seloageng which is the nearest region, in just a matter of days, certainly Seloageng will fall.

Instantly the Regent's son the Bracelets massaged his head which suddenly felt dizzy.

Patugunung Panji immediately left the gate of Pakuwon Watugaluh palace after ordering the telik password to rest. Ludaka followed the leader's steps.

The wedding ceremony was over, Panji Watugunung went straight to the resting ward and ordered Ludaka to call all the high-ranking officers of the soldiers to face him.

Tumenggung Adiguna, Tumenggung Wiguna, Tumenggung Koncar, Ki Saketi, Warigalit, Jarasanda, Ludaka, Jarasanda and Rajegwesi have gathered in the portico of the rest hall.

Landung and Gumbreg half ran towards the rest hall. The body of the Gumbreg tambun to drift towards the porch of the resting hall.

The two of them immediately saluted the Watugunung Panji and immediately sat down cross-legged.

"I just got some important news. There are about 10 thousand Jenggala soldiers starting to move towards Panjalu through Tumapel", said Panji Watugunung started the conversation.

"This is important news Gusti Prince, do not they intend to attack Daha from there", Tumenggung Adiguna stroked his beard.

"We must not be rash in acting Tumenggung Adiguna, lest we be careless.

Gumbreg, though,

Pack supplies and equipment Garuda Panjalu team. When finished, immediately report to me", said Watugunung Panji to Gumbreg, bekel warrior supplies.

"Jeep Gusti Prince", Gumbreg worshipped and retreated from the portico.

"Jasanda, man,

Gather all Garuda Panjalu soldiers in Pakuwon Watugaluh square", Panji Watugunung gazed towards Jarasanda.

"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Prince", Jarasanda saluted the Watugunung Panji and immediately left the place.

"Tumenggung Wiguna, I'm asking you to go to Daha. Report this problem to Senopati Ganggadara. Whatever the decision from him, you must come to Seloageng. I'm waiting for your arrival there.

Bring Bekel Majaya to accompany your journey".

Hearing the Prince of Daha's decree, Tumenggung Wiguna immediately worshiped and immediately rushed to find Bekel Majaya to leave for Daha.

"We can not waste time.10 thousand Jenggala soldiers is not a trivial matter.

Tumenggung Adiguna, Tumenggung Koncar..

Are you willing to help me hold off the Jenggala army in Seloageng?" Panji Watugunung stared at the two heads.

"We are the Daha. To head off the Jenggala warriors is our duty. Please include us in this matter Gusti Pangeran", Tumenggung Adiguna respect to the Watugunung Panji followed by Tumenggung Koncar.

After all reporting their readiness, that day also Panji Watugunung led the Daha troops to leave the palace of Pakuwon Watugaluh. The new Akuwu Watugaluh, Setyaka and Dewi Tunjung Biru led to the departure of Panji Watugunung and his troops reached the gate of Pakuwon Watugaluh palace. Panji Watugunung flanked Ayu Galuh and his three concubines took the lead in front.

The number of their troops is now only 1300 people, moving quickly to Seloageng.

After passing through Pakuwon Kunjang, by night they had reached the headquarters of Garuda Panjalu troops in Sanggur.

Rakai Sanga and Marakeh welcomed the arrival of Panji Watugunung and his troops at the gate of the headquarters.

Juminten who heard Gumbreg came directly sumringah. Although Gumbreg likes to be alone, but basically he's a good guy.

"Kang Gumbreg, you're back", cried the Juminten as he ran towards the man.

"Yes Dhek Jum, I came for you", Gumbreg immediately jumped down from his horse.

Si Jum was so happy. The sweet woman from Wanua Klakah was smiling happily.

As Gumbreg was about to hug Juminten, Ludaka who had just descended from the horse immediately grabbed Gumbreg's collar from behind. Of course, the Gumbreg movement stopped immediately.

"Eeeettttt what the hell is Lu?", Gumbreg glared at Ludaka.

"You remember what Gusti Pangeran Panji Watugunung said in Kunjang?", Ludaka reminded Gumbreg.

"Yes remember Lu, if you reach the bekel headquarters the soldier must immediately report his men to the main portico of the headquarters" said Gumbreg full of confidence.

"Lha what do you want now?", Ludaka glared.

"Yes hugged the Jum to Lu dhek, I miss not seeing him for a long time" Gumbreg still ngeyel.

"You want to be moved to be a horse stable cleaner with Gusti Panji?", Ludaka threatened while pulling Gumbreg's hand to the main portico of the headquarters to report.

'Apes very, very friendly want to be a little already disturbed by the Ludaka camp, ' Gumbreg grumbled in his heart.

Dhek Jum, wait for me dhek..
