The Ancestral Country
The Same Dream

Senopati Jambuwana immediately ordered his subordinates to start arranging the defense preparations of the Jenggala soldiers in the city of Matahun. They divided the task of preparing various weapons that will be used to fight the Panjalu troops.

The subordinates of Senopati Jambuwana supervised every preparation made by the Jenggala soldiers.

They are preparing themselves as best as possible to face the Panjalu troops for these few days.

"How do we prepare, Adhi Pungging?", asked Senopati Jambuwana as she looked towards Senopati Pungging who was walking near her.

"Our forces are ready, Kakang,

If until the Panjalu troops storm here we will**** them immediately", replied Senopati Pungging with full confidence.

Senopati Jambuwana was happy to hear the speech of his cousin's sister.

In the palace of the Duchy of Matahun, it appears that Duke Danaraja was sitting pensively on a chair in the sari garden of the palace of the Duchy of Matahun. The middle-aged Duke's mind wandered everywhere.

The subdued heart of the Duke of Matahun was apparently seen by the empress named Dewi Sekardadu. The beautiful woman immediately walked up to the dreamy husband.

"What are you thinking about Kangmas?", asked Dewi Sekardadu who made Duke Danaraja wake up from his daydream.

"Eh Yayi Goddess..

Ah nothing what Yayi. I only thought a little about my dream two weeks ago", answered the Duke of Danaraja by looking at the beautiful face of the hermit princess who became his wife.

"What do you dream about Kangmas? Tell me" said Dewi Sekardadu who was curious about the words of Duke Danaraja.

Hmmmm

"Two weeks ago, I dreamed of seeing the palace of the Duchy of Matahun destroyed by a red giant.

He ravaged the entire Matahun court with his fearsome big feet and hands. The bodies of Matahun soldiers were also scattered everywhere. Keraton Matahun flood of blood.

I'm afraid of Yayi, I'm afraid,

The dream felt so real to me" said Duke Danaraja with a long sigh.

"This Kangmas is all there is.

How could there still be giants living in this day and age? They only exist in fairy tales of the time of the gods living in Suralaya.

Do not be afraid of Kangmas, just because a sleeping flower is definitely not possible.

The walls of Matahun are so high, so strong. No matter how great the science of one's power, it will not be easy to climb it especially if you want to destroy it.

So Kangmas should throw away such thoughts" Dewi Sekardadu tried to calm the heart and mind of the Duke of Danaraja who was in trouble.

Duke Danaraja smiled faintly at the sweet voice of Goddess Sekardadu. His heart was at least calm because of the words of his wife.

"Thank you Yayi,

Hearing your words made my heart feel like it was doused in cold rain. You are indeed the best", said Duke Danaraja who immediately stood up from his seat and hugged the body of Goddess Sekardadu.

"Kangmas must maintain health, soon we will face Daha warriors.

Don't let Kangmas get sick and in an unhealthy state when fighting against them.

I do not want Kangmas until why-why", Goddess Sekardadu put her head on the shoulder of the ruler of the Duchy of Matahun.

"You calm down, Yayi,

Everything will be fine", said Duke Danaraja while stroking the black hair of Goddess Sekardadu.

"Let's go to the Kangmas yoga gym, please,

I saw that Kangmas hasn't eaten anything. I have prepared a good dish for Kangmas", invited Dewi Sekardadu while pulling the hand of Duke Danaraja.

The Duchy's rulers according.

The two of them immediately rushed towards the Matahun Palace boga gym while continuing to join hands.

Meanwhile, Panjalu forces under the leadership of Patugunung Panji moved towards the city of Matahun.

Accompanied by his four wives, Panji Watugunung runs his horse slowly. The handsome man's gaze was straight forward as if he wanted to quickly get to Matahun.

"Rear, man,

How long will we reach Matahun?", asked Ratna Pitaloka who rode beside the Watugunung Panji.

"If there are no obstacles in two days we will reach the city of Matahun, Dinda Pitaloka.

Because we cannot move quickly with this large number of troops", replied Panji Watugunung as he circulated his gaze around him.

Sure enough, 16 thousand Panjalu soldiers who accompanied their journey was not a small amount. 3 thousand supply soldiers who use beef pedicures to transport food is a weak point of movement of Panjalu soldiers who want to storm into Matahun. Although there are 5 thousand soldiers on foot, and 8 thousand soldiers riding their movements still can not be fast.

Along the way, the movement of Panjalu soldiers scared the people in Wanua wanua they passed even though Panjalu soldiers did nothing.

Even the Akuwu also did not dare to act rashly because of the large army of Panjalu that passed through their area. Dare to oppose them can be sure their small town will be destroyed flat with the ground.

To the west of Pakuwon Sundu, Panjalu's forces stopped their advance. They immediately built a large tent tent that would be where they rested.

Gumbreg who directly led the supply soldiers, quickly arranged the work of his subordinates.3 thousand supply soldiers quickly built the camp tents of the Panjalu soldiers.

Ludaka, Sang Tumenggung Kadiri soon spread the Lowo Bengi soldiers to spread around the place. So did Rajegwesi who immediately ordered the archer soldiers to be on standby in a place that he had determined.

The supply soldiers worked quickly to finish their work. By dusk, hundreds of camp tents Panjalu soldiers had stood upright in the field near the forest in the west of Pakuwon Sundu.

Tens of thousands of Panjalu soldiers made the women who were near their camp immediately report to Akuwu Pakuwon Sundu, Tanabhaya.

"How is Gusti Akuwu? Our women are worried about their arrival" said Lurah Wanua Jonggring, who is near the encampment of Panjalu soldiers.

"Our country is at war with Daha, Mpu Goti. They travel a long way from Panjalu will definitely head to Kahuripan.

Usually in war they will destroy all the settlements they pass through. But I did not receive any reports from the password or news from traders that they did.

This means that the Panjalu troops only intend to fight with the Kahuripan palace without destroying the residents" Tanabhaya replied while stroking his beard.

"But Gusti Kuwu, still our Wanua people are scared.

Please help Ki Kuwu to calm the hearts of our Wanua residents", said Mpu Goti while respecting the Akuwu Sundu.

Mm-hmm..

"Alright, tonight I will go to the camp of the Panjalu soldiers, Mpu Goti.

I'll make a peaceful appeal to their Senopati. Hopefully the leader of the Daha army will understand with my intention", Akuwu Tanabhaya immediately stood up from his seat and walked towards the exit of Pakuwon Sundu pisowanan hall followed by Sundu's warrior bekel, Sentiko.

Accompanied by 10 Pakuwon Sundu soldiers, Tanabhaya and Bekel Sentiko drove their horses westward. Armed with torches of dried coconut leaves tied together, they walked down the highway connecting Pakuwon Sundu and Pakuwon Gambir. Although the moonlight was bright enough to illuminate their steps, but the torches they carried further added to the clear vision.

700 Spears from the camp of the Panjalu soldiers, two men dressed in black blocked their movement.

"Stop!

Don't go any further!", shouted one of the two men in black. They covered her face in half with a mask.

"Who are y'all? What are you going to stop our steps?", cried Bekel Sentiko loudly. The warrior leader Pakuwon Sundu was furious at being disturbed.

"We who should ask you, what does this night want to pass by in this place?

Aren't you afraid of the stern?", the red masked man stared at the 12 immediately.

Phuihhhh

"Indeed you think I'm afraid to fight back?

Moreover, only two crocs like you, I am not at all afraid", cynical Bekel Sentiko said while starting to feel the handle of the sword on her waist.

"That's so arrogant of your mouth!

Prove your speech kisanak, do not just big mouth", said the man in a red mask while pointing at Bekel Sentiko.

You dare challenge me? I'll make you cry blood", after saying so Bekel Sentiko immediately jumped down from her horse and lunged towards the red masked man.

Bekel Sentiko's sword quickly led to the red masked man's neck.

Whuuut..

The red-masked man immediately took a step back to avoid the sword Bekel Sentiko. Then bend his knees and make a right leg sweep towards Bekel Sentiko.

The thick-bodied man immediately jumped up, twisted his body and re-attached his sword towards the left shoulder of the red-masked man.

Quickly, the red masked man turned to the ground and immediately stood up. Immediately he pulled out his sword and darted quickly towards Bekel Sentiko who had just tracked the ground.

The red masked man's sword is aimed at Bekel Sentiko's back. The thick-bodied man immediately twisted his body and fended off the sword slash.

Thhraaaanggg!!!

A loud clink sounded as their two weapons clashed. The red-masked man quickly slammed his left hand towards Bekel Sentiko's stomach, but the man immediately pushed the pressure of his sword and jumped back.

The red masked man did not give the opportunity to Bekel Sentiko. He quickly darted back towards Bekel Sentiko by swinging his sword towards the leg of the bekel.

Whuuuggghhh

Bekel Pakuwon Sundu soldier immediately jumped high into the air avoiding the sabetage of the sword, the red masked man immediately changed his body movements and immediately darted towards Bekel Sentiko who was about to land.

The left-hand lacing of the red-masked man quickly struck the back of the warrior leader Pakuwon Sundu.

Ddeeeeeeessshhhhh!

Ougghh!

Bekel Sentiko tumbled to the front of the foot of Akuwu Tanabhaya's horse. He quickly got up from the fall, but before he moved, Tanabhaya's voice stopped him.

"Stop Sentiko, please,

Enough's enough!

I'm sorry, please don't block our way. We are the Sundu Akuwu in the east of this small forest. Want to meet the leader of the Daha troops who camped there" said Akuwu Tanabhaya immediately.

The two men in black clothes looked at each other for a moment, then the man in black mask immediately made a sound.

"All right, you,

I'll take you to the camp of the Panjalu soldiers. Do not act like if your lives want to be saved", threatened the red masked man who is none other than a member of the Lowo Bengi army.

Akuwu Tanabhaya immediately nodded in understanding. With a single jolt, his horse immediately ran following the steps of the two black-clothed men immediately. His attendants followed from behind.

When entering the camp of the Panjalu soldiers, the eyes of Pakuwon Sundu people wide wide saw tens of thousands of Panjalu soldiers. Their guts instantly shrieked for a moment.

After arriving at the biggest tent in the middle of the camp, they immediately stopped their steps.

"Please forgive Gusti Prince,

There are some people claiming from Pakuwon Sundu to meet Gusti Prince. Are they allowed?", asked the red masked man respectfully from outside the tent door.

"Please them in" said Panji Watugunung immediately. As Akuwu Sundu entered the large tent, the entire eyes of the Panjalu warrior officers stared at him. Although Bekel Sentiko accompanied, but still the two leaders of Pakuwon Sundu were frightened.

"What do you need to come here, Sundu wong?", asked Patugunung Panji as soon as they respected and sat cross-legged in front of Watugunung Panji.

"Please forgive me before,

Name of Tanabhaya's servant, Akuwu Sundu. Please forgive me in advance if I am sassy. At this time the servant is faced with whom if I may know?", replied Akuwu Tanabhaya while respecting.

"My name is Panji Watugunung. People usually call me Prince Jayengrana.

Now tell me what you want?", asked Panji Watugunung firmly.

"Jagad Dewa Batara,

Apparently the servant confronted Yuwaraja Kadiri. Please forgive Gusti Prince, I represent the female population in the Sundu region. Please strongly not to burn down our settlements", said Akuwu Tanabhaya while worshiping at the Watugunung Panji.

"What are you talking about?

We are at war with the Kahuripan palace there is no connection with the people of Jenggala.

I dare guarantee that the Panjalu soldiers will not touch the Jenggala citizens unless they want to fight us", said Panji Watugunung which immediately made Akuwu Sundu smile happily.

"Thank you for Gusti Prince's kindness.

I beg you to go back to Pakuwon Sundu" Tanabhaya said, saluting and rushing out of the big tent. Escorted by Lowo Bengi soldiers, Pakuwon Sundu's entourage returned to Pakuwon palace.

The night is getting late.

Meanwhile, the duke of Danaraja who was asleep suddenly shouted.

"Geez, don't kill me!"

The loud cry woke up Goddess Sekardadu who was sleeping next to her. He quickly woke up the delirious Duke of Danaraja.

"Kangmas, Kangmas Duke..

Wake up Kangmas wake up", said Dewi Sekardadu while shaking the body of Duke Danaraja. Quickly, Duke Danaraja awoke from his sleep. Breaths gnawing. Cold sweat drenched his forehead. Dewi Sekardadu immediately took a jug of drinking water and gave it to the Duke of Danaraja.

Glucose gluconate ahh..

After drinking water, the look on the face of Duke Danaraja looks calm. Dewi Sekardadu soon approached her husband.

"You why Kangmas?

Nightmare again?", asked Dewi Sekardadu immediately.

Duke Danaraja immediately turned to his wife. After a long breath, he said.

"Yes Yayi, I had a nightmare.

The same dream as two weeks ago".
