The Ancestral Country
The Panjalu Forces

Gumbreg immediately ran away leaving Juminten in the room.

The fat man while running continued to justify his random clothes.

In the main portico of the headquarters, all the bekel soldiers have gathered. Gumbreg came last and sat directly behind Ludaka.

"Everything is here?", asked Panji Watugunung while staring at Rakai Sanga.

"Already Gusti Prince", replied Rakai Sanga while respecting.

"Hear everything, you know,

Tomorrow morning we set out to help Panjalu's troops who were fighting against the Jenggala forces in Lasem.

The duchy has fallen. Our duty as soldiers, guarding our homeland from the undermining of the invading enemy.

Tonight we prepare to leave. Tomorrow morning we head to the Duchy of Anjuk Field.

Do you understand?", said the leader of Garuda Panjalu.

"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Pangeran", all high-ranking officers immediately respect and withdraw from the main portico of Garuda Panjalu army headquarters.

Gumbreg immediately ran towards his residence. Juminten who was still half-dressed, immediately he sambar.

"Kang, what do you want?", whispered Juminten.

"Forward delayed event dhek. Come on spout", replied Gumbreg who immediately passed Juminten clothes.

Shortly afterwards, Gumbreg, with a cheerful whistle and a bright smile, heads to the supply warehouse, leaving the naked Jum in his bed.

By morning, the sun was still hiding in the eastern horizon. But extraordinary activity has occurred at the headquarters of Garuda Panjalu troops.

When the sun had risen, Ki Saketi immediately approached Watugunung Panji and reported that all the soldiers were ready to leave.

The war bende rang out loud.

Panji Watugunung and his four wives left with Garuda Panjalu troops to leave the army headquarters.

Juminten waved his hand at Gumbreg, the man who had planted the seeds on him, as Garuda Panjalu's troops moved away from their headquarters towards the north.

Garuda Panjalu troops consisting of 1500 soldiers, continue to drive the horse. After passing through Pakuwon Kunjang, they continued moving north. By late afternoon they had arrived at the Klakah Wanua on the Brantas river.

Sriti Lanang immediately welcomed their arrival, and asked them to spend the night there.

The Watugunung banner affirmed Sriti Lanang's wishes. That night, Garuda Panjalu team spent the night at Wanua Klakah with a banquet from Paira Sriti Perak.

"Gusti Prince Panji, Gusti Putri Ayu..

Thank you for your willingness to rest in Klakah. We are very honored by the presence of Gusti Pangeran all of you in Wanua Klakah" said Sriti Lanang while respecting the Panji Watugunung and Ayu Galuh.

"Don't talk about uncle, please,

We are even grateful to all the citizens of this Klakah women for bothering to entertain us", Panji Watugunung immediately stood up.

Begawan Sulapaksi who was present, gave a thread of three colors with a small bundle of cloth in the middle to Ayu Galuh.

"Is this Begawan?", asked Ayu Galuh in astonishment.

"It's a talisman to get pregnant quickly, Gusti Putri", Begawan Sulapaksi smiled meaningfully.

Hearing that, the three concubines of Watugunung Panji immediately approached the begawan.

"For me where is Kanjeng Begawan? Don't choose to love dong", Sekar Mayang protested loudly.

"I also want to be happy" said Ratna Pitaloka.

"Srimpi also wants Kanjeng Begawan", Dewi Srimpi also approached.

Hehehehe

Begawan Sulapaksi smiled knotingly at the behavior of the three Patugunung Panji concubines.

"The three of you have a duty to help your husband save Daha from Jenggala. It is not yet time for you to give birth to the descendants of the guard of Panjalu.

Later when the time comes, I will come to the three of you myself".

Despite being slightly pouted, the three of them received an explanation from Begawan Sulapaksi.

Ayu Galuh immediately wore the three-colored bracelet on her left hand. A sweet smile adorned the beautiful face of the princess Daha.

The night changed so quickly. The unpretentious rooster tree wakes everyone in the Klakah wanua. That morning, dozens of large ships crossed from Wanua Klakah to Wanua Tajur north of the Brantas river.

A pair of young women, continue to look at the face of Panji Watugunung from the food stall next to the pier.

After a brief sun rose, Garuda Panjalu's troops had gathered at the Tajur pier moving rapidly towards the northwest. Their goal is one, get to the border of Anjuk Farm as soon as possible.

The two young girls immediately approached the ship owner who had just crossed the Garuda Panjalu team.

"Uncle, where was the troop going?", asked the young girl to the owner of the ship.

"They said they were going to the Lasem border. He said he was going to help the Daha forces who confronted the Jenggala forces" replied the ship's owner.

The two young girls immediately rushed towards a hill east of the Tanua Tajur.

Garuda Panjalu troops continue to move quickly towards the Anjuk Ladang border after hearing from telik password.

Meanwhile, the deteriorating condition of Senopati Ganggadara's body finally died. The Daha troops who camped held a purification ceremony led by Senopati Muda Narapraja.

The fire continued to burn piles of dry wood that burned the body of Senopati Ganggadara. The smell of handlebars and frankincense billowed into the air. An atmosphere of sorrow was felt on the faces of the Daha warriors.

By late afternoon, all the high-ranking officers of the Daha warriors gathered in the large tent to discuss their next move.

"Rear of Narapraja, please,

Has the messenger come to Daha?", Senopati young Maitreya asked Senopati young Narapraja.

"Not yet Dhimas Maitreya,

What I am worried about has not yet come the messenger, Jenggala troops have preceded attacking us.

We must quickly determine the choice of the leader of the army so that we can move", replied young Senopati Narapraja while looking at Maitreya's face.

"In comparison with Kakang Narapraja, my war experience is nothing.

Didn't the elder brother yesterday already lead a great war against the Jenggala army in Seloageng?", Maitreya let out a long sigh.

"Don't be stupid Dhimas,

Yesterday's war could win because of Gusti's intelligence Prince Panji Watugunung.

Otherwise, where might 7500 soldiers be able to defeat 10 thousand Jenggala troops?

If only he...."

Not yet had time for young Senopati Narapraja to finish his talk, a soldier ran into a large tent.

A troop of horsemen headed here" reported the soldier.

Senopati young Narapraja immediately stood at follow Senopati young Maitreya, Tumenggung Koncar, Tumenggung Ringkasamba, Tumenggung Wasikerta, Tumenggung Lokananta from Kalingga, Tumenggung Jayanata from Kembang Kuning, Tumenggung, Demung Sukendro from Bumi Sambara and Balapati from Garuda Panjalu Utara. They rushed out of the large tent and prepared for standby.

Balapati who saw the sky blue flag decorated with golden Garuda from a distance immediately sheathed back her sword.

"No need to worry, officers. They are our friends" Balapati said with a faint smile.

"What do you mean Balapati?", young Senopati Maitreya immediately looked at Balapati's face.

"Gusti Senopati pay attention to that sky blue flag. Is not the same as the flag in the tent of my troops?", Balapati pointed to the sky blue flag that fluttered in the tent of his troops.

Maitreya immediately understood what Balapati meant.

The group of troops was getting closer to the camp tent of Daha troops.

Senopati Young Narapraja immediately smiled to see the arrival of Panji Watugunung and his four wives who were followed by Garuda Panjalu Selatan troops.

"Welcome to the camp of the Daha Gusti Pangeran Panji troops" Narapraja said while saluting the Watugunung Panji after the man got off his horse.

Hmmmm

"You've always been like that Senopati Narapraja.

I told you I'm an ordinary man, don't worship me", Panji Watugunung immediately approached Senopati Narapraja.

"It's customary Gusti Prince, we can't fight him.

Let's talk in the big tent", take Narapraja immediately.

"Wait a minute Senopati Narapraja.

Uncle Saketi,

Ask Gumbreg and his troops to quickly set up a tent. The day had begun to afternoon", Panji Watugunung turned his head towards Ki Saketi who was behind him.

"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Pangeran", Ki Saketi saluted the Watugunung Panji and immediately rushed towards Gumbreg and his troops who were behind.

Panji Watugunung and all the high-ranking officers of Daha soldiers including Tumenggung Sancaka and Tumenggung Gati rushed towards the large tent that was in the middle of the camp.

Warigalit, Jarasanda, Ludaka and Rajegwesi followed in the leader's footsteps.

"Wait, where is Senopati Ganggadara? Why is he not there?", asked Patugunung Panji immediately.

"Gusti Senopati Ganggadara has passed away Gusti Pangeran Panji, we have just performed a purification ceremony for his soul" answered Narapraja while bowing his head.

Panji Watugunung was shocked to hear the news.

"How is it possible? Senopati Ganggadara is a senopati experienced in combat".

"There was a Bengal Eye who infiltrated the troops of Panjalu Gusti Pangeran, he stabbed Senopati Ganggadara in the stomach when he was off guard", Narapraja recounted the incident.

Hmmmm

"It does not rule out the possibility that there are still friends in our army. We can't be rash.

Rajegkvesi, Ludaka..

Get your men to spread around this place. Capture every Daha warrior who comes out into our camp", orders Panji Watugunung immediately.

The two bekel soldiers immediately saluted the Watugunung Panji and retreated from the big tent.

The two of them immediately ordered their respective men to spread around the Daha camp.

"Jasanda, man,

You guard it outside this big tent. Don't let the soldiers enter without your knowledge", Panji Watugunung stared at Jarasanda.

"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Prince", Jarasanda immediately exited the big tent and drove out the two soldiers who stood guard at the front door of the tent.

"Are your actions not excessive, brother Panji Watugunung?", Balapati looked towards Panji Watugunung.

"Sorry I haven't introduced myself yet. I am Balapati, the leader of Garuda Panjalu Utara" Balapati continued later.

"I was just on guard Balapati's brother, there's been an incident. We must be careful", Panji Watugunung smiled faintly.

"Dead of Senopati Ganggadara, who will lead the Daha army?", asked Panji Watugunung while looking at the faces of the Daha soldiers' high officers.

"We are still waiting for the arrival of the emissary who left for Daha this morning Gusti Prince, but after the arrival of Gusti Prince Panji and Gusti Putri, it seems we do not need to bother waiting for the envoy.

Only Gusti Pangeran Panji Watugunung is right to dream of this Daha army", replied Senopati Narapraja soon.

Everyone smiled in relief as the mangosteen sign agreed.

Patugunung banner smiled faintly.

"Thank you for your trust in me,

Tomorrow we'll take back the Jenggala team"
