The Ancestral Country
Plan of Invasion of the Duchy of Matahun

Hearing the words of Panji Watugunung everyone immediately nodded in understanding.

That day they decided to spend the night in that place while waiting for the arrival of Warigalit and his troops that will soon arrive.

The day soon changed night.

Demung Gumbreg was sitting in front of the bonfire. The thick-bodied Demung was busy burning the young corn that his subordinates got this afternoon.

While busy chewing young corn, his best friend Tumenggung Ludaka joined in front of the campfire with Demung Rajegwesi.

"It looks good, Mbreg..

For a little dong" said Tumenggung Ludaka while spreading his fingers in front of the fire. The cold weather of the dry season makes the atmosphere increasingly cold bone-chilling.

"Just boy. If you want to burn yourself Lu" said Gumbreg while throwing young corn that has not been burned at Ludaka.

Kadiri's tumenggung immediately caught the young corn cob that was thrown at him.

"Basar unfaithful friend, ask for a little bit even in raw love", grumbled Tumenggung Ludaka who immediately took a tree twig and thrust it on a young corn cob. The sturdy man immediately roasted the young corn onto the burning bonfire.

"I'm this dizzy again Lu, again lazy to fight with you.

If you want to make a noise, just find someone else" Demung Gumbreg said while glaring.

"What is the matter with you, Mbreg?", asked Rajegwesi, who was involved in their conversation.

"Dhek Jum is pregnant again,

It's been 3 months now. I was dizzy from his strange cravings", replied Gumbreg as he continued to devour his grilled corn.

"What's Cravings, Juminten, Mbreg?

Yesterday in Kadiri I saw he was fine", asked Tumenggung Ludaka while turning back the young corn that was being roasted.

"Yes in Kadiri yesterday he did not ask what Lu was, but after this task he asked me to face Gusti Prince Jayengrana" said Gumbreg who immediately massaged his temple. He seemed to be completely confused at the request of his pregnant wife.

"What is the matter with Gusti Pangeran Jayengrana?", asked Tumenggung Ludaka immediately. He was curious about Gumbreg's words.

"Dhek Jum asked me to touch Gusti Prince Jayengrana's cheek. He said so that my son could be as handsome as Gusti Prince Jayengrana", replied Gumbreg with a hearty look.

Ludaka and Rajegwesi looked at each other for a moment and then laughed back and forth at Gumbreg's words.

Huahahahahaha...

"Eh shucks, shucks,

Why are you laughing? Is there anything funny?", asked Demung Gumbreg in confusion.

"Hahahaha, of course Mbreg. Funny anyway hahaha", replied Ludaka while continuing to laugh out loud.

"The funny thing is where Lu is? Explain to me", Gumbreg looked at Ludaka's face immediately.

"Look at Mbreg, please,

The child is born from the offspring of both parents. If his father is handsome and his mother is beautiful, of course his son will also be beautiful. Examples of his son Gusti Prince Jayengrana and Gusti Putri Ayu Galuh, Prince Mapanji Jayawarsa.

If his father looked like a buffalo bunting like this, had a son as handsome as Gusti Prince Mapanji Jayawarsa, it is clearly impossible to be huahahahaha", Ludaka laughed curled up as well as Rajegwesi.

"Basic jerk.

Your mouth is indeed taper Lu", grumbled Gumbreg as he threw a clean cob of grilled corn into the fireplace.

"After all, if you dare to touch Gusti Prince Jayengrana's cheek, are you ready to be beheaded for daring to be rude to the crown prince of the kingdom of Panjalu?

Hehehehe" said Tumenggung Ludaka, who has a stomachache because he mostly laughs.

Gumbreg immediately shuddered in horror at Ludaka's words.

Inside a large tent, Panji Watugunung is laying his body on a bed accompanied by his four wives.

"Kasep, Akang,

If Naganingrum is pregnant, Akang Kasep is still affectionate with Eneng?", asked Dewi Naganingrum while stroking her husband's chest.

"Yes is Dinda Naganingrum,

Just look at Dinda Anggarawati and Dinda Galuh, they still love me because I have given birth to my son" replied Panji Watugunung who immediately smiled faintly looking at the beautiful face of the youngest Princess Prabu Darmaraja.

"Hehehe..

Naganingrum tea also wants to give birth to children Akang Kasep" said Dewi Naganingrum smiling shyly.

"It's not just you, Naganingrum.

You think I don't want to give birth to Kakang Watugunung's son either? But we also have to be able to hold back. Because as long as Mapanji Garasakan still leads Jenggala, our lives in Kadiri will certainly not be calm", said Ratna Pitaloka who poured himself on the right side of the head of the Watugunung Panji.

"That's exactly Naganingrum,

We all also want to have a son as handsome as Kakang Watugunung. Now we have to help Kakang Watugunung to conquer Jenggala, the business of having children will be able to help", said Sekar Mayang who was beside the left of the Yuwaraja Panjalu.

"I mean Naon Teh Mayang? Naganingrum did not understand", asked Dewi Naganingrum while looking up at Sekar Mayang.

"There is a powerful brahmin who can help, Nimas Naganingrum. The business must be carried out if we win the battle against Jenggala", said Dewi Srimpi who is opposite Naganingrum.

"Then, Eneng Geulis will help Akang Kasep to quickly win this war.

Eneng Teh was impatient to meet with brahmana sakti eta Teh Srimpi", said Naganingrum who was greeted with a sweet smile the three wives of Panji Watugunung others.

That night they talked warmly until sleeping while hugging the body of Panji Watugunung.

Morning before arriving at the camp of the Panjalu soldiers. The morning sun began to appear in the eastern sky slowly. Birds chirped happily in the branches of trees around the place.

The banner of Watugunung that had washed its face, walked around the camp. In front of the extinguished former campfire, he found Gumbreg still fast asleep with his face full of black soot from the grilled corn he had eaten last night.

Slowly the Watugunung Panji approached Gumbreg, intending to awaken the Kadiri Demung.

"Mirgin.. Gumbregs..

Quick wake. It's morning" said Panji Watugunung who crouched down while shaking Gumbreg's left shoulder.

Demung Kadiri was not awake, instead scratching his cheeks and turning his body back to the Watugunung Panji.

Gumbreg's Iler continued to flow from the corner of his lips.

"Basic kebo.. Quickly wake up Mbreg" said Panji Watugunung a little loud. Gumbreg rolled towards the Watugunung Panji. His soot-filled right hand moved towards the cheeks of Patugunung Panji.

Plaque!

Infuriated by the tabokan Gumbreg who smeared his cheeks with soot, Panji Watugunung shouted loudly.

"Gumbreg!

The banner of Watugunung is looking for you!", cried Panji Watugunung immediately. Gumbreg woke up from his sleep. The eyes of the tambun man immediately widened to see the central Watugunung Panji glancing towards him.

"Sorry Gusti Prince, geez..

What is the order for the servant?", said Gumbreg while respecting the Watugunung Panji.

"You see my cheek this ha?

How dare you apply soot to my cheeks", Panji Watugunung snapped while pointing at his blackened cheeks in the shape of 3 fingers. Gumbreg immediately looked at his palm, and the black soot was clearly there. Gumbreg's face was pale instantly.

"Please forgive Gusti Prince, please forgive.

"Just ask for mercy.

Since you have dared to dirty my face, I will punish you. Understand you?", hardik Panji Watugunung immediately.

"Hamba understands the fault of the servant, Gusti Prince. Please forgive from Gusti Pangeran Jayengrana, the future king of Panjalu", said Gumbreg while continuing to prostrate to Panji Watugunung.

"Well, I'll spare you. But there are conditions.

Find me four jungle chickens. Before breakfast, there should be.

Are you willing?", Panji Watugunung stared at Gumbreg who was still prostrating.

"Could be Gusti Pangeran, willing", said Gumbreg with fear.

"Now quickly depart. Remember, your deadline is only until breakfast", replied Panji Watugunung who immediately made Gumbreg worship and run towards the small forest south of the campgrounds of the Panjalu warriors.

Panji Watugunung chuckled amusedly to see the action of Gumbreg who was panting running towards the forest.

"That's really me. What was my dream last night? But I've fulfilled Dhek Jum's cravings, hihihi...

Despite having to get the scolding of Gusti Prince", muttered Gumbreg while continuing to run into the forest.

By breakfast time, Gumbreg had returned to the camp with 5 jungle chickens and a set of ripe bananas. Soon he headed towards the large tent where Panji Watugunung and his four wives rested.

Throughout the day, the Panjalu soldiers continued to prepare everything necessary for the preparation of the raid on Matahun. Some sharpen swords, some sharpen spears. Some archer soldiers repaired their bow, some were busy arranging supplies to be ready to leave at any time.

Towards dusk, the Panjalu army led by Warigalit came to the place. They immediately mixed with the Panjalu soldiers who had already camped there.

"Please forgive Dhimas Prince,

It must make Dhimas Prince wait for our arrival" said Senopati Warigalit while respecting the Watugunung Panji.

"What are you talking about, Kakang?

You are the heroes of this war, already managed to repulse the Jenggala army. Of course I am very proud of this, Kakang", replied Panji Watugunung with a knotty smile.

"Without the advice and opinions of the Prince Dhimas, I might be able to defeat them.

The one who is at war is me, but who has the ability to study things is the Prince Dhimas", Warigalit smiled faintly.

"Ah come on, please,

Oh yes how many Panjalu soldiers did you bring here Kakang?", asked Panji Watugunung immediately.

"Our remaining soldiers are 6 thousand soldiers, Dhimas.

Tumenggung from Tanggulangin died, Bekel Warrior from Karang Anom also died. While the other officers were still able to fight even though Demung Warok Nggotho from Wengker suffered minor injuries", Senopati Warigalit reported about his soldiers.

"Hmmmmm..

Are the army officers who fought against Jenggala here?", asked Panji Watugunung who immediately circulated his gaze to the army officers who were behind Warigalit.

"We are here, Gusti Prince" the army officers said simultaneously.

"Are you still able to continue the journey to Kahuripan?", asked Panji Watugunung while watching them.

"Demung Warok Nggotho of Wengker is ready to give his life for the glory of Panjalu" said a stocky officer with a distended stomach and thick mustache in his honor. There was a wound wrapped in cloth on his left arm.

"Tumenggung Nagaraja from Karang Anom is willing to sacrifice his life for Panjalu" said a well-built soldier officer who had two bumps on his forehead.

"If we are both, Gusti Prince Jayengrana need not doubt. We have been following Gusti Prince Jayengrana for a long time", Senopati Sancaka smiled thinly, as well as Senopati Gati from Seloageng.

"Thank you for the support, I hope that we can quickly conquer Mapanji Garasakan and can go home to our home.

Tomorrow morning we leave for Matahun", said Patugunung Panji immediately.

All the Panjalu warrior officers who were in the big tent immediately crouched down and worshiped at the Watugunung Panji.

That night they planned a raid on the Duchy of Matahun.

**

The Duchy of Matahun is located in the west of the royal capital of Jenggala. This area occupies a land surrounded by swamps that are heavily inhabited by crocodiles. There were only two roads into the city, through the south and east.

The Duchy of Matahun Palace is located in the center of the city. Duke of Matahun, Danaraja was one of the martial figures who chose to lead the Matahun region after the death of his father. It can be said that the Duke of Danaraja was a powerful mandraguna because it once shocked the martial world with the nickname Swordsman Whip of Fire.

On the throne of the Duchy of Matahun, Danaraja was sitting opposite Senopati Jambuwana and his subordinates. They arrived at the palace of the Duchy of Matahun yesterday.

"So what are you planning, Senopati Jambuwana?

Do you want to make Matahun a battlefield against Panjalu?", asked Duke Danaraja with a sharp gaze towards Senopati Jambuwana.

"True Gusti Duke,

The Matahun has good natural defenses, as well as thick city walls. We can block the pace of movement of Panjalu soldiers here", replied Senopati Jambuwana while stroking his mustache.

"Hmmmmm..

Actually I'm not a war lover like Kakang Garasakan. But when it comes to my honor as a Jenggala soldier, I do not mind if I have to fight against Daha", said Duke Danaraja firmly.

Hearing that, Senopati Jambuwana smiled knot.

"A martial world champion will face the warrior Daha,

They will surely perish"
