The Ancestral Country
Next Plan

The problem of Mana and Rumani further makes the relationship between Watugaluh and Tamwelang heated up. Every citizen of Watugaluh is afraid to just trade to Tamwelang as well as Tamwelang residents are prohibited to connect with Watugaluh residents.

Small clashes between the two neighboring Pakuwon are increasingly frequent.

One night, Wanua Mangku residents who were in the south of the Rengkoh women confronted the Wanua Padelegan residents who entered the Pakuwon Kunjang Region.

They thought that what they were fighting was the citizens of Wanua Kamulan. Without asking much, they suspect the Padelegan residents whom they accuse of being eye-eyes sent by Watugaluh.

"Stop your bullshit!

We are from Padelegan, it has nothing to do with the problems between Watugaluh and Tamwelang" said a middle-aged man who became a traveling merchant who used to take merchandise from the Duchy of Matahun.

"We don't believe it!

You must have been sent by the Watugaluh people to find out about our situation.

Friends, catch them!", said a man in a thick mustache loudly.

Dozens of Wanua Mangku residents immediately surrounded the traders from Padelegan.

"Collapse!

Or we will use violence against you" said a man from Wanua Mangku who appears to be a community leader there.

The man with the thick mustache was a little unhappy with the soft attitude of the community leader Wanua Mangku.

Immediately he kicked the butt of a stocky man on purpose. The thick-bodied man staggered forward.

Seeing the prowess of the weapons swinging towards them, the merchants from Padelegan instantly fended off with their weapons.

A fierce fight took place that night.

The thick-moustached man smiled sinisterly at the sight. The plan to heat up the atmosphere at the border was successful. Apparently he was the eye eye commissioned by Senopati Jambuwana to provoke chaos on the border between Jenggala and Panjalu.

That night they slaughtered the merchants of Padelegan. A man who escaped the massacre immediately kicked his horse out of the place.

The thick-moustached man immediately aimed at the merchant guard who had crossed the border with his arrow.

Whuuuttt

The arrow shot quickly towards the back of the merchant guard who was racing his horse.

Creeppp

Ougghhh

The merchant guard screamed loudly but he tried to keep his body in balance. His horse continued to accelerate to the southwest where Pakuwon Kunjang City is located.

"Fuck up!

He got away", shouted one man from Wanua Mangku furiously.

"Let him run away, please,

I'm sure he'll be drained of blood" said the man with a thick mustache with a big grin.

The merchant bodyguard continued to ramp his horse without caring about the pain attacking his back. His riding horse continued to dart towards Pakuwon Kunjang City.

By midnight, the merchant guards reached Pakuwon Kunjang City. He continued to strengthen himself in order to reach the palace of Pakuwon Kunjang.

Once in front of Pakuwon Kunjang palace, the merchant guard fell from his horse.

Two of the palace gate guard soldiers instantly approached her.

"What is this?", asked a well-built soldier who immediately put down his shield and spear. Hunt him down to try to help the man.

"Ndoro Warrior,

Wanua Mangku residents slaughtered the Wanua Padelegan merchant entourage", after saying that the merchant guard was killed. The wound from the arrow that stuck in his back opened his losing a lot of blood.

The guardian soldier of the palace gate immediately rushed to the private palace Akuwu Kunjang, Rakeh Sani.

Coincidentally the Akuwu Kunjang has not slept even though the night is late. The young man was busy talking to Bekel Warrior Pakuwon Kunjang, Winata who was his college friend.

The palace gate guard soldier immediately saluted Rakeh Sani.

"Please forgive Gusti Akuwu,

Padelegan women traders in the village of Wanua Mangku. A bodyguard managed to escape and report the matter but he died after reporting", the palace gate guard soldier said respectfully.

Rakeh Sani and Bekel Winata immediately looked at each other for a moment. They stood up and stepped quickly towards the palace gate followed by the gate guard.

Rakeh Sani's eyes widened to see the body of a man who died with an arrow stuck in his back.

"Winata, please,

What is your suggestion for this matter?", asked Rakeh Sani as he looked at his friend.

"We should report this to Gusti Prince Jayengrana. This problem must have something to do with the problems in Watugaluh and Tamwelang, Gusti Akuwu.

Better we are not rash so as not to need the atmosphere getting hotter" said Bekel Winata soon.

Rakeh Sani immediately nodded in understanding.

Next morning..

Rakeh Sani and Bekel Winata accompanied by several soldiers Pakuwon Kunjang went to Kadiri to report the incident to Panji Watugunung.

When they reached the limits of Kadiri, they crossed paths with a horse-drawn motorcade from Watugaluh led by Akuwu Watugaluh, Setyaka.

"Gusti Akuwu Kunjang,

What is it this morning that has come to Kadiri?", asked Akuwu Setyaka with a sweet smile.

"Gusti Akuwu Watugaluh,

There is something important that has happened to the people of Wanua Padelegan. I want to discuss this matter with Gusti Prince Jayengrana", Akuwu Kunjang replied firmly.

"Then, then,

It was the Tamwelang soldiers who made a fuss at our border that made me even more sultry. I would like to seek advice from Gusti Prince Jayengrana, Rakeh Sani's brother", said Akuwu Setyaka, ruler of Pakuwon Watugaluh.

"Then, we should be together facing Katang-katang Palace, brother Setyaka.

This problem cannot be left alone" said Akuwu Rakeh Sani immediately.

The two Pakuwon troupe immediately rushed towards the Katang-katang palace.

When he reached the gate of Katang-katang palace, the two palace gate guard soldiers immediately saluted them. The party immediately entered the palace.

The arrival of the two of them received a welcome from Patih Saketi who was also waiting for the arrival of Panji Watugunung.

"Our salute, Gusti Patih", said Rakeh Sani and Bekel Winata who immediately saluted Patih Saketi.

"Greetings to me, Gusti Patih Saketi", said Akuwu Setyaka while respecting the warangka Kayuwarajan Panjalu.

Hmmmm

"Tumben once the two of you were present together at the Katang-katang palace.

Is there anything important to talk about?", asked Patih Saketi by staring at the two of them.

"I'm sorry Gusti Patih,

I want to report the incident that happened last night to the people of Wanua Padelegan.

The traveling merchants of the women were massacred by the Wanua Mangku people in the Tamwelang region. Please be the wisdom of Gusti Patih Saketi for this matter" said Akuwu Rakeh Sani immediately.

"If you, then,

What are you going to talk about with Gusti Prince Jayengrana, Akuwu Setyaka?", asked Patih Saketi who immediately turned his eyes to that Akuwu Watugaluh.

"Today, the Jenggala soldiers especially those at the border are always looking for trouble and trouble with us in Watugaluh, Gusti Patih.

We started getting angry with them. Please Gusti Patih provide a solution to this problem", Akuwu Setyaka respect to Patih Saketi.

Hmmmm

I can't decide what you should do because it's not a joke.

Let's wait for Gusti Prince Jayengrana. Let him decide what we should do" Patih Saketi said wisely.

As they chatted for some time, from the front a private palace gate guard soldier Yuwaraja shouted out loudly.

"Sang Yuwaraja Panjalu, Gusti Prince Jayengrana entered the room".

The four men immediately crouched down and worshiped at the Watugunung Panji that came accompanied by Ayu Galuh and Dewi Naganingrum.

After the Watugunung Panji sat down, followed by Ayu Galuh and Dewi Naganingrum, Yuwaraja Panjalu immediately raised his right hand.

Patih Saketi, Akuwu Setyaka, Akuwu Rakeh Sani and Bekel Winata immediately returned to sit cross-legged on the floor of Yuwaraja's private palace.

"Worship our respect to Gusti Prince Jayengrana, Sang Yuwaraja Panjalu", said the four retainers of Kayuwarajan Panjalu with great respect.

"Thank you for your service, man,

Uncle Setyaka, what are you doing here? Didn't I give you the task of providing a food barn in Watugaluh?", asked Panji Watugunung with a little astonishment.

Akuwu Setyaka immediately worshiped Watugunung Panji and began to tell about the gripping circumstances around Watugaluh. Patugunung banner heard every word of Akuwu Setyaka without interrupting at all.

"This is how Gusti Prince, he,

We hope that Gusti Prince Jayengrana gives a policy of what we should do", said Akuwu Setyaka ended his report.

"If you were Akuwu Rakeh Sani,

What's your problem?", asked Panji Watugunung while turning towards Rakeh Sani.

Rakeh Sani immediately reported the incident that happened last night. Panji Watugunung immediately let out a long sigh.

When Panji Watugunung was thinking hard to find a solution to this problem, from outside the palace Katang-katang Tumenggung Adiguna from Daha walked hurriedly to the private palace of Yuwaraja.

"Please forgive Gusti Prince if I interrupt,

The Jenggala army in Lwaram was moving towards Daha. They have reached the border of Lasem and Bojonegoro. Gusti Maharaja Samarawijaya has ordered Senopati Narapraja to confront them", said Tumenggung Adiguna while respecting the Watugunung Panji. Everyone who was there was immediately surprised to hear the words of Tumenggung Adiguna.

Hmmmm

"How many soldiers have been deployed against them?", asked Panji Watugunung immediately.

"According to the code that reported, they numbered 10 thousand soldiers Gusti Prince. Gusti Prabu Samarawijaya told Gusti Senopati Narapraja to bring 10 thousand soldiers consisting of soldiers Lasem, Lewa, Kurawan and Anjuk Ladang and Daha soldiers", said Tumenggung Adiguna immediately.

"So Daha palace only 10 thousand soldiers left.

Apparently they deliberately split our attention to make it easy to attack here.

Uncle Patih Saketi,

Call all the retainers of Kayuwarajan Panjalu here. Hurry!", the Watugunung Panji immediately.

"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Prince", said Patih Saketi who immediately worshiped at the Watugunung Panji and retreated from the porch of Yuwaraja's private palace.

With the help of some soldiers, the retainers of Kayuwarajan Panjalu soon gathered at the Katang-katang palace.

Senopati Warigalit, Tumenggung Landung, Tumenggung Ludaka, Demung Gumbreg, Demung Rakai Sanga, Demung Marakeh and Patih Saketi were seen sitting cross-legged in front of Panji Watugunung in addition to Tumenggung Adiguna, Akuwu Setyaka and Akuwu Rakeh Sani and Bekel Winata.

"Now listen carefully to my words.

The Jenggala had stormed into Daha. As soldiers, we should not be silent. I've guessed that sooner or later, they're gonna storm in here.

Now I'm going to split the task between us.

Kakang Warigalit and Tumenggung Landung will block the movement of Jenggala soldiers. Stop them from entering the Panjalu area. You will be assisted by the soldiers from Anom Reef, Tanggulangin, Bracelets and Seloageng. Reinforcements from Lodaya will be preparing along the Brantas river. Once you defeat them, take control of the Jenggala area that we have conquered. Lay out the soldiers along the winning line that we control.

I, Tumenggung Ludaka and Demung Gumbreg will face those who move from Pakuwon Tamwelang. Jarasanda and Garuda Panjalu's troops will come with me. This time it was unforgiving for them. We hit them. Soldiers of assistance from Rajapura, Paguhan, Kalingga and Kenbang Jenar I will lead here with Kadiri soldiers.

Rakai Sanga Demung,

I assigned you to guard Katang-katang Palace from all situations.

Demung Marakeh,

Your task is to lead a fast riding force that will be the link between me, Kakang Warigalit and Senopati Narapraja.

Do you understand?", said Patugunung Panji who immediately stood up from his seat.

"We understand the Gusti Prince", replied the Kadiri palace dignitaries simultaneously.

That afternoon the atmosphere in the Katang-katang palace instantly heated up. The Kadiri soldiers prepared to leave for the battlefield.

Akuwu Setyaka immediately returned to Watugaluh to prepare his soldiers. So did Rakeh Sani and Bekel Winata, they immediately withdrew from the Kadiri palace and prepared to face the imminent war.

The wives of the Watugunung Panji immediately prepared all the needs of Watugunung Panji that would lead the Kadiri forces to face the Jenggala forces moving in the middle.

After all was completed, Patugunung Panji accompanied by Dewi Srimpi, Dewi Naganingrum, Ratna Pitaloka and Sekar Mayang departed for the battle field. Dewi Anggarawati, Ayu Galuh and Rara Sunti are not allowed to participate because their task is to take care of two young Panji Watugunung sons with Patih Saketi.

"Be careful Kangmas Panji, please,

We are waiting for your return here" said Dewi Anggarawati with a sweet smile.

Panji Watugunung immediately smiled knot then kicked his horse followed by his four wives and troops.

Two great armies are moving in two different directions. Panji Watugunung led 8 thousand moving towards the northeast, while Warigalit led 10 thousand soldiers moving towards the southeast.

Panjalu forces led by Patugunung Panji continued to move towards the northeast. Arriving at Pakuwon Kunjang palace, they immediately built a camp tent in the North of Pakuwon City because the day had begun to move in the afternoon.

Akuwu Kunjang, Rakeh Sani welcomed the arrival of Panji Watugunung and his four wives at Pakuwon Kunjang pisowan hall.

That night the leaders of the troops sat in the porch of Pakuwon Kunjang guest hall to hear the plan of Patugunung Panji. There are Senopati Janadi from Kalingga, Senopati Sukendro from Bhumi Sambara, Tumenggung Rakai Wangi from Rajapura, Senopati Taradipa from Paguhan and Tumenggung Wiramaya from Kenbang Jenar. Jarasanda, Tumenggung Ludaka and Demung Gumbreg were also present there.

Ratna Pitaloka who accompanied the Watugunung Panji immediately opened a conversation between them.

"They've gathered, Kakang..

What plan do you want to convey?"
