The Ancestral Country
The Early Great War
Ayu Galuh stared at Panji Watugunung who suddenly appeared before him.
"The Panji Kangmas just go away,
Kangmas know not if the whole Katang-kat palace is in an uproar because Kangmas disappeared in the middle of the pileban?", asked Ayu Galuh with a slightly nagging tone at the Watugunung Panji.
"I was brought by Resi Begawan Wisrawa, Dinda Galuh.
The receipt was the Ajian Triwikrama container that was passed down to me. After passing down the knowledge, Begawan Wisrawa moksa to Swargaloka", replied Panji Watugunung who immediately sat in his chair.
Hearing that answer, Ayu Galuh was silent for a while. Her pretty face tried to think hard to understand the meaning of the words of Panji Watugunung.
"Kangmas' speech made me dizzy.
Should Kangmas quickly take a shower and gather the Kadiri palace officials again so that they become calm" said Ayu Galuh with a sweet smile.
The Watugunung banner immediately nodded in understanding.
As the sun began to slip into the western sky, the retainers of Kayuwarajan Panjalu gathered in the Yuwaraja's private palace. They were so enthusiastic to meet their lord who had just been kidnapped by the Wisrawa Begawan Resi.
Upon seeing the arrival of the Watugunung Panji, the retainers of Kayuwarajan Panjalu immediately crouched down and worshiped at the Watugunung Panji.
"Worship our services to Gusti Prince Jayengrana" the Kadiri court officials said with great respect.
After the Watugunung Panji sat on the chair and raised his right hand, they immediately sat cross-legged on the floor of Yuwaraja's private palace.
"Please forgive Gusti Prince,
I just want to ask the state of Gusti Prince, is it okay?", asked Patih Saketi while worshiping at the Watugunung Panji.
"Uncle Patih just calm down, please,
I have no problem at all", Panji Watugunung replied with a faint smile.
"Well what about that hermit kidnapper Gusti Prince? Did Gusti Prince defeat him?", asked Advisor Rakeh Kepung immediately. The former Akuwu Kunjang was very curious about what happened this morning.
"I didn't beat him, Uncle Rakeh..
He gave something very valuable to me. Listen, all of you, I'm fine, there's nothing to worry about. I ask all of you to remain calm, and not to make news that can shake the people of Kadiri City.
Do you understand?", Panji Watugunung stared at his subordinates.
"We understand Gusti Prince", said the retainers of Kayuwarajan Panjalu while respecting the Watugunung Panji.
"Now, now,
I'd like to hear a thorough report of the code we're spreading in the Jenggala border region.
Have there been any reports of the activities of the Jenggala soldiers?", asked Panji Watugunung immediately.
Warigalit immediately respected.
"Although Dhimas Pangeran Jayengrana,
According to the news I received, there are three places that became the headquarters of the Jenggala soldiers.
In the North of Pakuwon Lwaram, at least ten thousand Jenggala soldiers had already conducted war exercises.
In the middle, they gathered at Pakuwon Setrawulan in the south of the Duchy of Matahun. Their number continues to grow, until it reaches 10 thousand soldiers.
In the south, they concentrated power west of the Lawor wanua to the west of Tumapel. According to the news, they were led by Senopati who is an elder of Mount Wind Padepokan in Lamajang region", reported Senopati Warigalit while respecting.
Mm-hmm..
"It looks like they've prepared to attack us.
So far how are the soldiers sent by the regional dukes?", Panji Watugunung turned to Tumenggung Ludaka.
"Although Gusti Prince,
To this day, there are several duchies that have sent relief troops.
The corals of Anom and Wengker each sent a thousand warriors the other day. Kurawan and Anjuk Padang have sent 2500 soldiers along with several food stalls that are enough for a month.
Duke Balapati of Muria sent 2000 soldiers with 100 foodstuffs, while Lasem sent 1000 soldiers and 70 foodstuffs.
The dukes of the western region promised at the latest this week their troops reached Kadiri Gusti Pangeran", Tumenggung Ludaka ended his report by respecting the Watugunung Panji.
"If we play count how many soldiers, at least we need 30 thousand soldiers to fight against Jenggala.
I hope everything is in my reckoning, but to deal with the Jenggala soldiers coming from the south, we need help from Prince Arya Prabu to disrupt the boats that cross the Brantas River.
Rakai Sanga's,
Are you ready for me to send to Lodaya, collect the promise of Prince Arya Prabu?", Panji Watugunung looks towards Rakai Sanga who is behind Warigalit.
"Whatever the task of the Gusti Prince servant is ready to do", Rakai Sanga immediately respect the Watugunung Panji.
"Good, "Good,
Tomorrow morning we go to Lodaya. Bring a letter from me, let Dewi Kenanga accompany your trip to Lodaya", said the Watugunung Panji that makes Rakai Sanga immediately respect the Yuwaraja Panjalu.
"Uncle Saketi, please,
Send our men to Seloageng. Give my letter to Father Duke Tejo Sumirat. I don't want to lose fast with the movements of the Jenggala warriors. After reading my letter, Father Duke Tejo Sumirat definitely understood what he should do.
Also send people to the Bracelets. Tell the Father Regent to prepare everything to deal with situations that might happen soon.
Scenic,
You can move fast. Tomorrow go to Akuwu Kunjang, Watugaluh and Kadri to prepare some additional soldiers that we propose", hearing the words of Panji Watugunung, the two officials of Kayuwarajan Panjalu immediately salute Sang Yuwaraja.
"Others, prepare yourself as well as possible. Remember not to cause a commotion in society. Do it calmly without making the citizens of Kadiri panic.
Do you understand?", said Panji Watugunung immediately.
"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Pangeran" said the retainers of Kayuwarajan Panjalu together.

"Your scoundrel, everywhere..
Could you betray our arranged marriage for that damned woman", shouted a young lady in green clothes while pointing towards a well-built young man who was protecting a young woman behind him from the rampage of the woman in green.
"Who betrayed you Rumani?
I helped this woman from the robbers who wanted to rape her? Am I wrong if I help someone?", where to look at the beautiful face of Rumani who was red withholding her anger.
"Enough Where, anyway,
You betrayed my father's trust. Just look where, you will pay this insult to me at a great price", Rumani shouted loudly. Women from Rengkoh women in the Tamwelang area was really angry because they felt betrayed by Bermana, a young woman from Kamulan who was in Watugaluh region.
"Tell you, Rumani..
I have nothing to do with this woman. I just helped her, nothing more. Believe it or not it's none of my business" replied Berana who was getting fed up with Rumani's stubborn nature.
Yes, Bermana and Rumani are lovers who are betrothed by their parents who still have a kinship relationship. Bermana's father is Lurah Wanua Kamulan named Mpu Reksawira. While Rumani's father was Lurah Wanua Rengkoh named Mpu Walangan. They are still brothers because they are the grandchildren of the former Akuwu Tamwelang.
With tears in his eyes, Rumani ran towards Wanua Rengkoh which directly borders Wanua Kamulan. The two regions are separated by a small river that becomes the boundary of the region of Panjalu and Jenggala.
Arriving at home, Lurah Wanua Rengkoh who was talking with his older brother Rumani, named Gambuh and Gandru, saw his daughter crying as if she had come straight to him.
"What's Rumani? Why are you crying?", asked Mpu Walangan attentively.
"Mana, Romo.. Where are the hyks.", said Rumani while continuing to cry.
"Why Where, Ngger? Speak calmly, do not continue to cry", asked Mpu Walangan gently.
"Where to betray me Romo, he cheated on another woman" Rumani said between tears.
"Bad!
This can't be allowed, Romo. We have to hold Mpu Reksawira accountable for his actions" said Gambuh, Rumani's eldest brother.
"True Romo, the act of being everywhere is the same as harassing us. We must go to Kamulan right now" said Gandru.
The two brothers immediately rushed towards the direction of the stables. Accompanied by two of his men, they immediately headed towards Wanua Kamulan.
By midday, they had reached Lurah Wanua Kamulan's house.
"Spu Reksawira, get out!
Take responsibility for your son's actions everywhere", shouted Gambuh loudly.
Hearing that shout, Mpu Reksawira who was inside the house immediately came out.
"What is this, Gambuh?
Why are you shouting so loudly in front of my house? Where is your manners ha?", hardik Mpu Reksawira furiously.
"I don't care about manners, Mpu Reksawira!
Your son has hurt my sister. Bring him here, otherwise I will destroy this place", shouted Gambuh loudly.
Phuihhh..
"Jumawa once you!
Try to prove your words, the stinking boy kencur", challenge Mpu Reksawira who began to grow angry with Gambuh's behavior.
Gambuh immediately jumped down from his horse and ran quickly towards Mpu Reksawira while swinging a sword tucked in his waist.
Whuussshh
Getting the attack, Mpu Reksawira who is a former Daha soldier immediately avoids the sword of Gambuh.
Seeing his attacks successfully avoided, Gambuh increasingly eager to kill Mpu Reksawira.
They fight straight for the sake of style.
After avoiding the sabetage of Gambuh's sword that targeted his legs, Mpu Reksawira who was in the air twisted his body and threw a hard kick towards Gambuh's back.
Deshhhhhh
Ougghhh
The paddle is down ahead. Seeing his brother fall, Gandru and his two escorts immediately ganged Mpu Reksawira.
Wherever just came home to take the girl he helped, immediately jumped into the air and kicked the back of an escort from Rengkoh
Bukkkkkk
The escort from Rengkoh immediately toppled forward, Mpu Reksawira did not waste this opportunity. Quickly Wanua Kamulan pulled a keris on his waist and pierced the heart of the escort.
Jleeppp..
Arrogghhhh!!
The escort screamed loudly and then collapsed to the ground. While Gandru whose martial arts is low, became a monthly month Bermana who is good at silat.
Seeing that, one of the escorts from Rengkoh jumped out of the place. Immediately he drove his horse towards Rengkoh.
Arriving at Lurah Wanua Rengkoh house, the escort immediately reported the incident to Mpu Walangan.
Hearing that, Mpu Walangan was immediately enraged.
"Civilized you Reksawira,
Gather everyone who can fight. We attack the house of Reksawira", orders Mpu Walangan with anger.
That afternoon, Mpu Walangan stormed into the house of Lurah Wanua Kamulan. With hundreds of people, they attacked their neighbors. On foot they headed towards the residence of Mpu Reksawira. In front of the house, ten people Wanua Kamulan guard Gambuh and Gandru battered in the face of Mpu Reksawira and Bermana. Seeing the situation of his two sons, Mpu Walangan's anger grew higher.
"Rexcavated,
Free my son's son. You really are savage Reksawira, torturing a little boy who has not been able to throw snot" said Mpu Walangan loudly.
"Your own son is looking for something, Walangan. You did not educate her properly, until she dared to troublemaker in front of my house", replied Mpu Reksawira did not want to lose.
"That's right!
You dare insult me, Reksawira. Don't say my name if I don't flatten your dilapidated house today.
All of you, all of you,
Attack them!!", cried Mpu Walangan who made hundreds of women Rengkoh lunged forward towards Mpu Reksawira and Bermana.
A fierce fight immediately broke out in the courtyard of the mansion.
Outnumbered, Mpu Reksawira and his soldiers died at the hands of Mpu Walangan and the residents of Wanua Rengkoh.
Wherever managed to escape, continued to run away from the house of Lurah Wanua Kamulan. Because Berlana escaped, Mpu Walangan vent his anger by burning the house. Thick smoke rose high into the air from Mpu Reksawira's burning house.
From a distance, everywhere shed his tears as he saw the thick smoke from his house. As far as he could, he continued to run towards the city of Pakuwon Watugaluh to ask for help from Akuwu Setyaka, the ruler of Pakuwon Watugaluh.
Setyaka ruler Pakuwon Watugaluh received the arrival of Bermana who reported the incident that befell their families.
The next day, accompanied by the soldier Pakuwon Watugaluh, Bermana led the revenge for the death of Lurah Wanua Kamulan. They stormed the Rengkoh women and managed to slaughter Mpu Walangan and Gambuh. Gandru and Rumani who fled, asked for help to Akuwu Tamwelang, Tunggul Wulung by saying Watugaluh soldiers invaded their wanua. The problem continues to spread everywhere.
The story of Bermana and Rumani became the beginning of the great war for 60 years between Panjalu and Jenggala.
