The Ancestral Country
Entrapment
Dewi Kenanga continues to drive her horse towards the Brantas river crossing pier that connects between the Anjuk region of Padang and Dahanapura.
Once there, the sun has briefly risen in the eastern horizon. The beautiful woman immediately jumped down from her horse and looked for water to clean the wounds and blood that littered her clothes.
From the barrel in front of a food stall, Dewi Kenanga get clean water. After washing the wound, the beautiful woman immediately sprinkled the medicinal powder she took from her shirt bag. Then quickly, she tore off the tip of her shawl and tied the wound on her left arm that had just been sprinkled with medicine. When she was done, the woman washed her clothes from the blood.
Dewi Kenanga breathed a sigh of relief, then led her horse towards the pier crossing.
A thick-bodied man immediately directed Dewi Kenanga on a crossing ship that was almost full.
Soon the ferry boat moved to the other side. The thick-bodied man who owns a crossing boat occasionally looks at Dewi Kenanga whose eyes are swollen while looking at the murky currents of the Brantas river brown.
When the ferry boat docked at the pier across the river, Dewi Kenanga immediately led her horse down from the crossing ship after paying 1 piece of silver to the ship owner.
Without thinking long, Dewi Kenanga immediately jumped on her horse and kicked the animal towards Kadiri City.
The purpose of Dewi Kenanga to Kadiri is to warn Panji Watugunung about the plan of Prince Alas Prohibangan who wants revenge on her. In addition, he also hopes that Panji Watugunung can avenge the death of his fellow students because he knows Panji Watugunung is highly trained.
After passing the highway of the capital of the kingdom of Panjalu, Dahanapura, Dewi Kenanga continues to drive her horse towards Kadiri. Along the way, the tears of the beautiful woman kept dripping.
When the sun passes over the head or off midday, Dewi Kenanga reaches the city of Kadiri. The woman immediately drove her horse towards the direction of Katang-katang Palace.
Two soldiers guarding the palace gate immediately confronted Goddess Kenanga when the beautiful woman arrived there.
"Stop Nisanak...
Get off your horse", orders the gatekeeper with long hair with a thick mustache.
Goddess Kenanga immediately jumped down from her horse. Immediately, he approached the two of them.
"Sorry Ndoro Warrior, please,
I would like to meet Gusti Prince Watugunung. Please convey to her, Dewi Kenanga from Kembang Poison College wants to meet", said Dewi Kenanga quickly.
For a moment the gate guard soldier stared at Dewi Kenanga with a probing gaze. After feeling certain that the beautiful woman had no evil intentions, the gatekeeper turned to look at his friend who was standing guard next to him.
"Hold this woman, don't let her in before I return" said the gondrong-haired gatekeeper immediately.
"Both Kakang" replied his friend who was next to him.
The gate guard soldier immediately stepped into the Katang-katang palace.
The Watugunung banner was listening to the report from Warigalit as the gate guard soldier crouched down to approach them in Yuwaraja's private palace. Soon the guard of the palace gate worshipped at the Watugunung Panji.
"Please forgive me if I disturb Gusti Prince,
A young woman who claimed to be named Dewi Kenanga from the Flower Poison School wanted to meet Gusti Prince.
Is Gusti Prince Jayengrana pleased to accept his presence?", said the gate guard soldier respectfully.
Hearing the question, Panji Watugunung and Warigalit looked at each other for a moment.
"Who is he coming with?", asked Panji Watugunung immediately.
"Himself Gusti Prince, seeing from his appearance like the woman had just finished fighting" said the gate guard soldier politely.
Hmmmm
"All right, you,
Let him in. And ask the Bekel Warrior Palace to increase the guard around the palace", said Panji Watugunung while staring at the gate guard soldier.
"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Prince", the gate guard soldier immediately worshiped at the Watugunung Panji and retreated from the porch of Sang Yuwaraja's private palace.
The gate guard soldier with upright steps immediately headed towards the gate of Katang-katang palace.
"You're coming with me. Keep your politeness when dealing with our lord", said the gondrong-haired warrior to Dewi Kenanga. The two of them immediately stepped towards the porch of Yuwaraja Panjalu's private palace.
Once at the porch of the private palace, the soldier immediately worshiped at the Watugunung Panji followed by Dewi Kenanga.
"What do you need to do here, Dewi Kenanga?
Did something happen with Perguruan Poison Kembang?", guess Watugunung Panji after seeing the makeup of Dewi Kenanga.
"I'm sorry Gusti Prince, please,
I'm here to tell you that Prince Alas Prohibition led the people of Padepokan Alas Prohibangan stormed here. Yesterday they had leveled the Flower Poison School. All members of the Flower Poison School were wiped out by them.
My teacher had to die to save my life" Dewi Kenanga's tears flowed as she spoke.
"You mean, Dewi Kembang Wengi was also killed?", asked Panji Watugunung who was shocked to hear the news.
"True Gusti Prince..
Therefore I came here to tell Gusti Prince" said Dewi Kenanga with red eyes after crying as she pleased.
"Thank you for your warning, Dewi Kenanga.
I will prepare myself to face them. After this what are your plans?", Panji Watugunung immediately looked at the face of Goddess Kenanga.
"I don't know Gusti Prince, I'm just a stick of kara" said Dewi Kenanga as she lowered her head.
Hmmmm
"While you stay here. If you are willing to serve me, I will place you as a Daha warrior as long as you are willing to swear allegiance to Panjalu", said Patugunung Panji immediately.
The face of Dewi Kenanga immediately brightened hearing the words of Panji Watugunung.
"I am willing Gusti Prince, I am willing", said Dewi Kenanga quickly.
"Now you rest in the guest ward, recover your wounds before you go to duty.
Soldier, soldier,
Take this woman to the guest ward", the order of the Watugunung Panji which immediately made the gate guard soldier immediately worship at the Watugunung Panji. Goddess Kenanga immediately followed the steps of the warrior.
After they passed, Warigalit immediately gazed towards the Watugunung Panji.
"Dhimas Prince, Prince,
Have you considered cooking with your decision?
I was just worried about the character of the woman" Warigalit said with a worried look.
The Watugunung banner let out a long sigh.
"I know it's Kakang..
But we need a lot of qualified manpower in martial arts to face a great war that can break out at any time.
At least with the additional energy of Goddess Kenanga, can strengthen our attacking ability" said Panji Watugunung while stroking his chin.
"Mpu Lumadi also offered his son Narajaya to become a Daha warrior, Dhimas Prince.
Should you accept him too?", asked Senopati Warigalit with a faint smile.
"We'll talk tomorrow, Kakang,
I asked Kakang to increase the guard around Kadiri city. Spread our ciphers around the city. Lure them to approach the palace. When they reach outside the palace walls, we destroy them", the Watugunung Panji orders firmly.
"Sendiko dawuh Dhimas Pangeran" Warigalit said while respecting the Watugunung Panji. Senopati Kadiri immediately retreated from the porch of Yuwaraja's private palace and rushed to organize the soldiers.
Meanwhile Prince Alas Prohibangan who had crossed the Brantas river, immediately drove his horse towards the city of Kadiri. Followed by 200 children of Padepokan Alas Prohibangan students, they headed towards Kadiri from the south side. They avoided Dahanapura city to reduce the suspicions of the citizens as well as the inspection of the patrols of the Daha soldiers.
By late afternoon, they arrived at a small forest south of the town of Kadiri. Some of the cultivators who saw their arrival, chose not to come into direct contact with the person in red.
"The Moyo,
They numbered about 200 horsemen. Right now they stopped at the edge of that small forest. I am afraid they are a band of robbers who want to plunder the city of Kadiri" said the farmer to Ki Moyo, the telik cipher.
'So soon as they come', inner Ki Moyo.
"You take it easy, Harjo..
I will report this incident to the palace" Ki Moyo said with a faint smile. The stocky man immediately walked up to his horse and jumped on top of him. Quickly, Ki Moyo spurred his horse towards the direction of the Katang-katang palace.
On the edge of the forest, the Prince of the Prohibition Basin was sitting on a huge rock. Simbarmayura and Darugeni approached the leader of the Prohibition Square immediately.
"When do we move the Prince's Kanjeng?", asked Darugeni as he looked towards the Prohibition Alas Prince.
The handsome young man who was actually hundreds of years old was staring towards the western sky that was starting to blush.
"Wait a minute, Darugeni..
Kadiri Palace must have had many soldiers. If we are careless just from the attack, it is the same as us taking our lives there.
The night sky will help us move without causing a commotion in Kadiri city", replied Prince Alas Prohibangan with a smile of his grin.
Darugeni and Simbarmayura nodded in understanding what their leader wanted.
It's getting late. The reddish twilight immediately changed the dark night in the bright moon that lived half in the sky. The atmosphere was so cold around the small forest as the Prince Alas Prohibangan and the person in red clothes moved quickly towards the city of Kadiri.
Throughout their movements, several pairs of eyes kept an eye on their movements.
The members of Padepokan Alas Barangan are not at all suspicious of the ease with which they enter the city of Kadiri.
In front of the south gate of the Katang-katang palace, Prince Alas Prohibangan stopped his footsteps. The eyes of the Prohibition Path leader were staring around the place.
A little suspicious he saw his desolate and loose guard at the south gate. Only four soldiers guarded the palace gates.
'Huhhhhhh, the gods are apparently on my side..
Tonight I will behead Panji Watugunung', the Inner Prince Alas Prohibition.
As Prince Alas Prohibangan began to move, an arrow shot out from the top of the palace wall targeting the chest of the leader Padepokan Alas Prohibangan.
Shrrinnng!!!
Sensing a life-threatening strong wind, Prince Alas Prohibition immediately slammed his palms towards the arrow.
Whuusssh..
Brakk!!!
The arrow was immediately shattered by the impact of the internal energy coming out of the right hand of Prince Alas Prohibition.
"Fuckers!!
Don't play buttocks if you dare", shouted Prince Alas Prohibition loudly.
Hundreds of soldiers began to appear one by one surrounding them including archers who were ready to shoot arrows from the top of the palace walls.
"It seems that our arrival has been known, Prince Kanjeng", whispered Darugeni who was beside Prince Alas Prohibangan.
"Darugeni. I've been suspicious of how easy it is for us to enter this city. It turned out that this was a trap prepared by the Watugunung Panji.
Fuck him!", furious Prince Alas Prohibition with a look of wrath.
From the top of the palace walls, several shadows jumped down in front of the Prince Alas Prohibangan and the children of the Padepokan Alas Prohibangan disciples.
Plasshhh..
Jlegg jlegg!!!
Illuminated by the moonlight, Patugunung Panji stepped forward followed by Warigalit, Tumenggung Landung, Patih Saketi and some Katang-katang palace dignitaries such as Gumbreg and Rakai Sanga.
"Do you want to come here?", came the cold voice of Watugunung Panji that made the Prince of Prohibition Stare towards the owner of the voice.
"Darugene,
Is he the one named Panji Watugunung?", Prince Alas Prohibition yelled at Darugeni without turning his face away from Panji Watugunung.
"True Kanjeng Prince, the,
He who killed the God of the Land the other day" Darugeni said as he pointed at the Watugunung Panji.
"Panji Watugunung, the,
I'm here to avenge the death of the elder Padepokan Alas Prohibangan that you killed.
Prepare to accompany them to meet Lord Yamadipati", cried Prince Alas Prohibition while raising his right hand.
"Children of Prohibited Pedestals, Alas,
Kill them all!!!!"
Hearing the order, the child disciple Padepokan Alas Prohibangan immediately charged forward to the Daha soldiers who surrounded them.
Fierce fighting broke out in front of the southern gate of Katang-katang Palace.
