The Ancestral Country
The Struggle of Interests

"Though Gusti Ganendra,

We also do not know what happened" said Satan White Beard while setting his breath so as not to be caught lying.

But he was mistaken.

Mpu Ganendra is a swordsman who has the science of face reading. No matter how small the change in skin color that occurs in the person being questioned, he will immediately know.

Seeing the skin discoloration of the White Mustache Demon's face and the breathing arrangement done by the White Beard Demon, Mpu Ganendra immediately knew that they were lying.

Mpu Ganendra smiled cynically looking at the faces of the two personal guards of Prince Rukmana.

"Basic laknat,

How dare you try to deceive me. It's clear you're the culprit, still trying to trick" Mpu Ganendra's hardship on a Pair of White Devils.

The two old geezers looked at each other for a moment.

After nodding slowly, the two of them immediately darted towards Mpu Ganendra while smashing their arm which was protected by a steel bracelet.

Everyone was shocked to see the incident.

The banner of Watugunung with Ajian Halimun the teaching of Ki Buyut Permana, instantly appeared suddenly before the White Pair of Demons and smashed into the stomachs of the two old geezers with both hands.

Bukkkkkk

Because of the speed that could not be followed by ordinary eyes, a pair of White Demons could only roar as the lashing of the Watugunung Panji lashed their bellies.

The two old geezers slammed back and scratched the ground.

Seeing the actions of his two personal guards, Prince Rukmana immediately boarded the apoplexy. He did hate Duke Tunggaraja but not his father.

Prince Rukmana darted swiftly towards the White Pair of Demons and pulled out his dagger.

The new White Mustache Demon stood directly at the stab by Prince Rukmana.

Jelepp!

Aarrgghhh

The White Mustache Demon roared loudly. The piercing of Prince Rukmana's keris directly pierced through the old grandfather's heart. The White Moustache Demon took its life with a dab of blood.

Seeing his brother dead, the White Beard Demon immediately struck the left shoulder of Prince Rukmana. The second son of Mpu Ganendra who was not ready, immediately fell in front of the Duke of Tunggaraja. His shoulders hurt like a big stone.

Seeing that, one of the retainers of the Duchy of Bojonegoro instantly whipped out his sword and slashed the hand of the White Beard Demon immediately.

The old grandfather was surprised to see the saber of the sword threatening his right hand, immediately shifting his steel bracelet to fend off the sword slash.

Wrestling

The White Beard Demon immediately jumped towards Mpu Ganendra after successfully fending off the Bojonegoro Duchy's retainer attack. He attempted to attack Ratna Pitaloka's uncle with her White Devil's Palm Ajian.

Back Panji Watugunung blocked the pace of the White Beard Demon with Ajian Halimun.

Deshhhhhh

The hard kick of his right leg made the old man's body lunge backwards and fall down.

"Why do you desire to attack Mpu Ganendra, old grandfather?", Panji Watugunung stared intently at the White Beard Demon.

While wiping away the blood flowing from the corner of his lips, the White Beard Demon grinned widely. While slowly standing up, he stared intently at Mpu Ganendra.

"He killed many of my brothers.

My teacher Maharesi Mpu Lingga, ordered all members of Padepokan Bukit Gandarwa to find a way to finish off Mpu Ganendra.

Today, I will take his life" cried the White Beard Demon loudly.

After saying so, the hands of the two grandfathers immediately reflected the white smoke from his flagship study of the White Devil's Site.

The old grandfather immediately jumped towards Mpu Ganendra while slamming his right hand towards Mpu Ganendra's shoulder.

But again and again, Panji Watugunung immediately blocked his movement.

"No deterrent also you are apparently an old grandfather" said Panji Watugunung who immediately chanted Ajian Waringin Sungsang Warok Suropati teachings.

The bluish green rays of the Watugunung Panji directly tied the body of the White Beard Demon that had once again reached its destination.

The pain began to attack the entire vein in the body of the White Beard Demon. The old man roared in pain.

All the people in the place looked surprised to see the Watugunung Panji issued the peak of its canuragan science. If Ajian Brajamusti is directly destructive, then Ajian Waringin Sungsang slowly sucks and destroys one's life force.

The body of the White Beard Demon began to wrinkle and blacken. The moment Ajian Waringin Sungsang reached the top, the Watugunung Panji immediately struck the body of the White Beard Demon fiercely.

Bukkk

Blammm!!!

The White Beard Demon's body exploded and shattered into dust. Prince Rukmana who was injured inside, widened his eyes. If only at the food stall the other day Panji Watugunung acted, it was not impossible that he would die like that.

Maharesi Mpu Astagina smiled faintly at the incident. Then ask everyone to gather in the porch of his residence.

After all sitting cross-legged in the porch of the residence of Maharesi Mpu Astagina, the Waruga Hermitage Sang Acharya opened the conversation.

"Ganendra, sir,

Tell me that. What is the problem so that the Padepokan Bukit Gandarwa is so eager to take your life?", asked Mpu Astagina to Mpu Ganendra who sat next to him.

Hmmmm

The former Duke of Bojonegoro breathed his long breath.

"First, then,

The siege wreaked havoc on the border areas of the Duchy of Bojonegoro and Pakuwon Lwaram. Me and Akuwu Lwaram worked together to destroy them until they were barely left. But their great teacher, Maharesi Mpu Lingga was meditating in Kucur Pitu, survived our invasion.

He then moved Padepokan Bukit Gandarwa to the south of the Duchy of Bojonegoro which was a border dispute between us. As a result neither Bojonegoro nor Lwaram touched the region because of our egos.

I did not expect that after all this time their grudges against me had never been extinguished" Mpu Ganendra said as he stroked his whitened beard.

"They must be removed from the face of this earth Ganendra,

It is our duty as human beings to prevent them from doing damage on the face of the earth", Maharesi Mpu Astagina looked at Mpu Ganendra's face with a faint smile.

"I understand Maharesi,

Tunggaraja, hentai,

Hear me. Guard Ratna Pitaloka personally to the boundaries of the Duchy of Bojonegoro when your Kangmbok wants to go home to Panjalu", Mpu Ganendra orders while staring at the face of Duke Tunggaraja who was just silent.

"But Father, why should I myself escort Kangmbok Pitaloka?", asked the Duke of Tunggaraja in a dislike tone.

"Huh?!

Why do I have to have stupid kids like you two? The gods really punished me..

Listen Tunggaraja, listen,

If according to the law of the Book of Kutara Manawa Dharma, Kakang Gajendra should be the Duke of Bojonegoro. Thus Ratna Pitaloka is more entitled to the throne of the Duchy of Bojonegoro than you.

"Ja-don't Romo. Well I will escort Kangmbok Pitaloka to the border of Bojonegoro", said Adipati Tunggaraja quickly.

Hearing Duke Tunggaraja's reply, Prince Rukmana immediately smiled faintly. An idea immediately flashed across his head.

That afternoon the Duke of Tunggaraja immediately ordered a retainer of the Duchy of Bojonegoro who escorted him to prepare a small army of Bojonegoro soldiers with a number of about 300 soldiers to accompany the Duke escort Ratna Pitaloka and Panji Watugunungs.

While Prince Rukmana quietly sent a message through pigeons letter to the leader of the swordsman army who prepared him to rebel.

That night Ratna Pitaloka continued to have a warm conversation with her grandfather, because tomorrow she will return to Panjalu.

Morning arrived with a drizzling rain drizzle of Waruga Hermitage region. After the drizzle subsided, the Batu Watugunung Panji Group bailed to the Maharesi of Mpu Astagina. Nyai Sati and Rara Wulan not so continue the journey to the city of Kambang Putih because there is something to do at Perguruan Bukit Wadang. They chose to follow the group of Watugunung Panji to the south.

Ratna Pitaloka immediately hugged her grandfather's old body just before she jumped on her horse. Slowly they left the place.

Maharesi Mpu Astagina continued to look towards the group of Watugunung Panji escorted by the Duke of Tunggaraja and Bojonegoro troops until they disappeared in the bend of the road.

After half a day of travel, they arrived at the border of the Duchy of Bojonegoro. Unexpectedly, from the front appeared about 200 warriors dressed all in black. They are the people of Padepokan Bukit Gandarwa who support Prince Rukmana.

An old man with a long beard and dressed as a hermit with a white cloth across his chest stood in front of the person. A black stick with a strange carving was in the old man's right hand. He is the Maharesi Mpu Lingga, one of the many heretical figures who worship Batari Durga, with his blood sacrifice ceremony.

"Stop you!", cried Maharesi Mpu Lingga while shaking his hand which caused strong winds to sweep towards the entourage of Panji Watugunung and the Duke of Tunggaraja.

The horse instantly neighed loudly and stopped its steps as the wind struck.

"Old Hai Resi, please,

What business are you doing stopping our steps? Are you no longer dear to your life?", shouted a young butcher who was beside the Duke of Tunggaraja.

The old grandfather's eyes glared furiously at the young man. A deep purple light was created from the tip of the index finger of the Maharesi Mpu Lingga and when the finger was directed to the young butenggung, a deep purple light shot out like lightning through the forehead of the young one.

Plasssha!

The young throats' forehead immediately burong penetrating the back of the head. The retainer of the Duchy of Bojonegoro immediately fell from his horse and died instantly.

"Much talk!

Anyone else want to be extinct like him?", cried Maharesi Mpu Lingga who made everyone turn deathly pale except Panji Watugunung who smiled from behind his caping.

"Sorry hermit, man,

I'd like to ask you. Why did you stop our steps?", asked Panji Watugunung politely.

"This is so good to hear.

Young man talking, I like your educated attitude.

Ratna Pitaloka and Watugunung can continue their journey. The others stayed here", Maharesi Mpu Lingga stared intently at Bojonegoro's troops. Duke Tunggaraja whose martial ability is not too high, immediately shriek his guts.

"What does that mean, hermit? Has anyone ordered you to release Ratna Pitaloka and Watugunung", asked Panji Watugunung with courtesy.

Hahaha

"A prince asked me to take the lives of everyone but those two people", the laughter of Maharesi Mpu Lingga sounded loud.

"So you are Rukmana's men?", asked the Duke of Tunggaraja with fear.

"If it is true, what do you want?", hardik Mpu Lingga to the Duke of Tunggaraja.

The ruler of Bojonegoro was instantly silent for a moment. Seeing his mummification being killed so easily, it was not difficult for the old man to kill him.

Amidst the tension felt by everyone, Panji Watugunung immediately jumped down from his horse and approached the old man immediately.

"Sorry hermit, man,

If it was only me and Ratna Pitaloka who were released, I could not accept your offer. Those four women are my family.

If you just let go of me and Ratna Pitaloka, then my whole life will be stamped as an unfilial child. I ask to release the six of us, and the others are up to you", Panji Watugunung bargained with a faint smile.

"His reign was only Ratna Pitaloka and Watugunung. The others I can not let go", said Maharesi Mpu Lingga while glaring towards Panji Watugunung.

"Then don't blame me for acting out of bounds, hermit.

I will defend my family, despite having to sacrifice my own life", Panji Watugunung immediately gets ready to fight.

Maharesi Mpu Lingga immediately jumped while swinging his staff towards Panji Watugunung.

Whhuuugghh

The Watugunung banner immediately twitched avoiding the thump of the stick that was eyeing his head. The battle of interests was soon on the border of the Duchy of Bojonegoro.

Goddess Naganingrum jumped straight at a bald warrior swinging a claw-shaped weapon with three pointed ends.

Whussss

Naganingrum twitched nimbly and then pointed his hand claws at the shoulder of the bald swordsman.

Sraaaaakkkkk!!

The bald warrior's shoulder was instantly torn as Naganingrum's claws tore through his skin and flesh.

"Sok atuh, hayu forward..

Let it suck the claws, so you can be a chopped cassava!"
