The Ancestral Country
The East Gate of the City
Hearing the words of the Duke of Matahun, Goddess Sekardadu let out a long sigh. He tried to throw away his bad thoughts about the dream of Duke Danaraja.
"Kangmas Duke,
The dream is just a sleeping flower, don't think too much. Let's go to sleep again. It is still Kangmas night" said Dewi Sekardadu as he laid his body on their bed.
"But Yayi, that's,...."
Not yet finished the speech of Duke Danaraja, Dewi Sekardadu immediately cut off the speech of the leader of the Duchy of Matahun.
"It's Kangmas, please,
Don't be a burden on the mind. Kangmas Adipati exhausted, lack of rest. Now let's go to sleep" said Dewi Sekardadu who immediately pulled a blanket and enveloped the body of Duke Danaraja.
Duke Danaraja according. Slowly she began to lay her body on her bed. Despite trying to close his eyes, Duke Danaraja still can not. The image of a red giant rummaging through Matahun's palace was like dancing in front of his eyes.
Until the morning before arriving, even a moment of Duke Danaraja still could not close his eyes.
The morning sun began to appear in the eastern sky. His glow brightened the morning from the darkness of the evicted night. Birds chirping unpretentious in the trees that adorn the sari garden of the palace of the Duchy of Matahun.
Duke Danaraja got up from his bed about to step towards the bath when suddenly there appeared a Jenggala warrior who came with a frightened face.
"Please forgive Gusti Duke,
One army appeared in front of the city gate of Matahun. It looks like they are the soldiers of Panjalu", the soldier quickly reported.
"WHATAAAAA??!!!
Why did they arrive so suddenly? Where are the soldiers taking our cipher?
Senopati Jambuwana,
Very careless" said the Duke of Danaraja who immediately walked towards the grand paseban hall of the Duchy of Matahun.
When the steps of the leader of the Duchy of Matahun reached the grand paseban hall, the palace officials had gathered there.
"Adeer, the,
How do you work? Why can the soldiers of Panjalu come here without being known?", hardik Adipati Danaraja on Tumenggung Adyaksa after sitting on the throne of the Duchy of Matahun.
"Please forgive Gusti Duke,
Servants have deployed dozens of code to monitor the movement of Panjalu soldiers, but none of them returned to give reports", replied Tumenggung Adyaksa while worshipping Duke Danaraja.
"How did that happen? Were they all killed?", asked Duke Danaraja as he looked towards Tumenggung Adyaksa.
"Hamba less know Gusti Adipati,
Obviously, no one came back. Servants are worried if someone who is silent betray Jenggala and divulge this secret to the opponent" said Tumenggung Adyaksa as he glanced at Senopati Matahun, Mpu Janapada who sat not far from his seat. Senopati sepuh it is not at all expected that Tumenggung Adyaksa took revenge on him after some time ago humiliated himself in front of the Duke.
"What do you mean Tumenggung Adyaksa?", asked Duke Danaraja immediately.
"Hamba suspects that someone leaked the secret of our password, Gusti Adipati.
Besides servants, only Senopati Mpu Janapada knows about our password telik", said Tumenggung Adyaksa while worshiping to Duke Danaraja by bowing his head. On the lips of the man was a cynical smile.
"Are you accusing me of being Adyaksa's traitor?
Very sharp your mouth", hardik Mpu Janapada while swerving sharply towards Tumenggung Adyaksa.
"I do not accuse you Senopati Janapada, if you do not feel guilty, do not bother to scold me" said Tumenggung Adyaksa with a faint smile.
"So you dare to betray, Mpu Janapada?
What do you get out of it all?", Duke Danaraja stared intently at Mpu Janapada.
"Hamba innocent Gusti Duke.
It was all just slander from Tumenggung Adyaksa", said Senopati Mpu Janapada trying to defend himself.
"If you have not betrayed, how could our cipher be told nothing about the movement of Panjalu's soldiers?
While only you and I know this matter", Tumenggung Adyaksa grinned widely. He really took advantage of not returning the telik coden Matahun Duchy who was killed by Lowo Bengi troops led by Tumenggung Ludaka.
"Now it is clear,
Soldier, soldier,
Arrest Senopati Mpu Janapada. Put him in the dungeon. The punishment will be handed down after we crush the Panjalu soldiers who are in front of the palace gate", the Duke of Danaraja ordered firmly.
Two soldiers guarding the grand paseban hall immediately approached Mpu Janapada and led the senior officer to the Duchy of Matahun prison.
Tumenggung Adyaksa smiled satisfied to see it all.
They immediately arranged a strategy to face the Panjalu troops who had surrounded the city of Matahun from the south.
Outside the city walls of Matahun, Panjalu soldiers numbering 10 thousand soldiers led by Senopati Sancaka of Bracelets make a furore among the people of the city of Matahun.
With colorful high pennant bulbs, as well as war bende timid to make the residents of Matahun city frightened.
Senopati Sancaka continued to order the Panjalu soldiers to scare the citizens of Matahun City.
"According to Gusti Prince Jayengrana's orders,
Make it look as if we're just coming from the south of this city, brother Gati.
That way, the Jenggala soldiers who live in the city will focus their attention on the southern gate of this city" Senopati Sancaka told Senopati Gati from Seloageng.
Senopati sepuh the mangosteen sign understand what the Watugunung Panji wants.
"Femung Rajegwesi,
Now fire your fiery arrows to scare away the Jenggala soldiers behind the walls of this city" Senopati Sancaka said quickly.
Rajegwesi nodded immediately. The young officer immediately beckoned to his commanding archer soldiers. Two thousand Panjalu archer soldiers immediately took a special arrow that has been laced with castor oil. The soldiers holding torches immediately ignited flames into their arrow eyes.
"Tembaaaakkkkkk!!!", cried Demung Rajegwesi loudly.
Shianngggggg..
Shhhriiinn!!!!
Thousands of arrows shot rapidly towards the city of Matahun with fire.
The Jenggala soldiers behind the city walls were shocked to see a rain of fiery arrows eyeing lives. They try to save themselves by taking shelter around their place or by lifting the shield in their left hand.
Chrreeepph..
Creeppp!!!
Aughhh!!
The late ones taking refuge become victims of the rain of arrows. There were screams of pain and roars of horror that resounded within the ranks of the Jenggala Warriors.
Slowly the fire began to burn the roof and walls of buildings made of dry reeds and wood. Wind gusts from the south are accelerating the fires that are happening.
"Awas the arrow attack!", cried a Jenggala soldier who was on the wall of Matahun city.
The Jenggala soldiers who heard the screams immediately took cover wearing their shields.
Although this second attack was not as severe as the first attack, it still dropped hundreds of casualties on the side of the Jenggala soldiers.
Senopati Jambuwana who was in the middle of the Jenggala soldiers was furious with this situation. He did not accept his soldiers being killed without fighting the Panjalu warriors.
"Fuckers!!
Open the gate! We finish off the Panjalu warriors", cried Senopati Jambuwana loudly. He who is carried away by emotions forgets the preordained strategy of war.
Four large-bodied Jenggala soldiers immediately pulled the rope tied to the crossbar of the Matahun city gate.
Kriiiieeeett...
The gates of Matahun are wide open. As soon as the city gate opened the Jenggala soldiers scattered out with unsheathed weapons.
Seeing that, Senopati Sancaka immediately ordered the bull horn horn blowing soldier immediately sound his trumpet.
Thhuuuuutttttthhh...!!!
Garuda Panjalu troops led by Jarasanda immediately preceded the other Panjalu soldiers and moved quickly towards the southern gate of the city of Matahun which was already full of Jenggala soldiers who came out from there.
Jarasanda immediately lunged forward towards a Jenggala warrior who was blocking his path. Kyai Klotok's heirloom keris quickly he thrust towards the heart of the opponent.
Jleeppp..
Ougghh!
The Jenggala warrior immediately collapsed with a gaping heart and drew fresh blood. After killing the life of a Jenggala soldier, the deputy leader of the Garuda Panjalu Squad immediately shot quickly towards a high-ranking officer of Jenggala soldiers named Tumenggung Mpu Kajar.
Jarasanda immediately threw a hard kick towards the stomach of Mpu Kajar who just slashed the neck of a Panjalu soldier.
Got a sudden attack, Mpu Kajar immediately twisted to the right side then thrust his sword towards Jarasanda's neck.
The deputy leader of the Garuda Panjalu Force who holds the rank of Tumenggung immediately fended off the sabetage of Mpu Kajar sword with his Keris Kyai Klotok.
Tringggg
A loud clink sounded as their two weapons clashed together with small sparks.
Mpu Kajar immediately swept Jarasanda's feet but the deputy leader of the Garuda Panjalu Squad immediately jumped high into the air avoiding the sweep of Mpu Kajar's feet.
Tumenggung sepuh from East Bengal was quickly hunting Jarasanda who had just tracked the land. His sabre was aimed at Jarasanda's back.
Whhhuuugggh..
Jarasanda immediately turned his body and somersaulted on the ground while slapping his dagger towards Mpu Kajar's stomach.
Shraaakk..
Aaaarrrggghhhh!!
Mpu Kajar immediately screamed loudly as Keris Kyai Klotok tore his clothes and stomach. Fresh blood immediately flowed from his wounds. The old tumenggung immediately smothered his wound and retreated two steps back.
"Fuckers!!
I'll chop your body up", cried Mpu Kajar who immediately took off his shirt and tied it to his wounded stomach.
"You're the old officer!
Jarasanda is not afraid to face you" said Warigalit's sister-in-law with a cynical smile.
Mpu Kajar immediately ran towards Jarasanda by swinging his sword towards the neck. A cold wind of energy in accompanying the sabetage of the old sword.
He seems to be complaining about life.
Jarasanda get ready. With Ajian Punching his Angel, his left hand was engulfed by white smoke.
When the sabetage of Mpu Kajar's sword was pointed at his neck, Jarasanda immediately jumped high into the air and then darted down while slamming his right hand towards Mpu Kajar's head.
The old butcher who was not ready immediately hit Ajian Punch Angel right in his head.
Blarr!!
Mpu Kajar's head instantly shattered. The old Tumenggung's body collapsed with blood.
Jarasanda smiled faintly and charged back towards the Jenggala soldiers.
Meanwhile Panji Watugunung, Senopati Warigalit, the four wives of Panji Watugunung and several high-ranking officers of Daha soldiers turned the road by storming the eastern side of Matahun city surrounded by swamps. It was the only way out of the Duchy of Matahun. All the soldiers hid behind the forest trees in the east of the city which was 300 fathoms from the city gate.
As soon as the buffalo horn trumpet sounded, four Lowo Bengi troops immediately shot towards the city gate. Carrying four roped anchors, they threw the object over the city wall which was 5 fathoms high.
Whuuuuttt!!!
After the roped anchors were linked, the four of them immediately climbed the Matahun city wall quickly.
Taphhh taphhh !!
They quickly spread their gaze around, and saw some Jenggala warriors guarding the city gate. This is in accordance with the Watugunung Panji estimate that if the southern gate of Matahun city is attacked, then the guard at the eastern gate of the city will loosen.
They immediately jumped down from the top of the city wall while blasting their swords towards the 6 Jenggala warriors on guard.
Crasshhhh crasshhh!!!
Four Jenggala soldiers immediately fell to the ground after the fourth sword of the Lowo Bengi army members slashed their necks.
A soldier who was about to fight, quickly swung his sword towards a member of Lowo Bengi's army who wore a red mask.
The red masked man quickly lowered his head, twisted his body and thrust his sword towards the belly of the Jenggala warrior who attacked him.
The creeppp!!
Aarrhhh!
The Matahun city gate guard soldier immediately screamed as the red masked man's sword pierced his stomach through the waist. He died with blood.
Meanwhile, a terrified Jenggala warrior immediately fled towards the palace of the Duchy of Matahun located in the middle of the city.
The four members of Lowo Bengi's army immediately rushed towards the city gate and together pulled the rope of the cross of the east gate of the city gate.
Krieettthhh!!!
When the eastern gate of Matahun city was open, Panji Watugunung and all Panjalu troops who followed him stormed into the city of Matahun.
Without significant obstacles, Panjalu's army moved towards the palace of the Duchy of Matahun.
The guard soldier east of the city immediately approached the new Duke of Danaraja preparing to fight. The weapon that had been stored neatly in his room he took out.
"Raport Gusti Adipati, Duke,
Panjalu's army is already heading this way. They managed to open the east gate of the city" said the guard soldier with a breath of gasp from the run earlier.
Duke Danaraja was surprised not to play to hear the report.
"So so her likeness..
The Panjalu troops at the south gate are only a lure so that the guard in the east of the city loosens", said the Duke of Danaraja by staring at the gate of the palace.
"All right, you,
I'll face the officer who leads the Panjalu army myself!"
