The Ancestral Country
Ambushes
Demung Gumbreg did not answer because he was still pale. If only Senopati Warigalit was a few moments late, it would have pierced his neck.
Tumenggung Ludaka immediately looked towards the body part of Demung Gumbreg. Puddles of urine under the fat man's feet answered his questions. Soon he closed his nose, as well as Tumenggung Landung and Tumenggung Jarasanda.
"Basic slob!
Quickly change your pants there. Or do you want to get mad at Gusti Prabu for peeing in front of his rest hall?", tumenggung Ludaka's tirade that made Demung Gumbreg with stiff footsteps walked closer to the place of self-cleaning behind the rest hall. Tumenggung Ludaka and Tumenggung Landung held back laughter until stomach pain saw the silliness of his best friend. Jarasanda just smelled his smile.
The four of them immediately stepped inside the resting hall where Panji Watugunung and his two concubines spent the night together.
Once in front of the room, Tumenggung Jarasanda, Tumenggung Landung and Tumenggung Ludaka immediately sat cross-legged on the floor while Senopati Warigalit directly knocked on the bedroom door of Panji Watugunung.
Thook thok..
"Who would dare interrupt Gusti Prabu Jayengrana's rest this evening?
Want to be in the law?", heard the voice of Cempluk Rara Sunti from inside the bedroom.
"Please forgive Gusti Concubine Bungsu.
There is very important news to know by Dhimas Prabu Jayengrana. Servant Senopati Warigalit is ready to receive punishment if this is wrong" said Senopati Warigalit immediately.
Shortly thereafter, footsteps were heard and the bedroom door opened.
Krrriiiieeeeeeeeettthhh!
Patugunung Panji came out of the bedroom without wearing his headdress or shoulder bracelets. He immediately approached Senopati Warigalit.
"What is Kakang Warigalit?
It seems urgent" said Panji Watugunung aka Prabu Jayengrana soon.
Senopati Warigalit did not immediately answer but held out an arrow with both hands while bowing respectfully to the Watugunung Panji. Then he sat cross-legged on the floor of the resting hall with Tumenggung Landung, Ludaka and Jarasanda.
The Watugunung banner after receiving the arrow immediately saw a piece of white cloth at the base of the arrow. He immediately brought the arrow near the lamp.
Reading the writing, Panji Watugunung's face immediately reddened the sign that he was angry.
"The coup is right my guess!
The old bastard really betrayed me" said Panji Watugunung who immediately squeezed the arrow.
Kfreeeekkkkkk...
The arrow was instantly smashed to pieces in the hand of Panji Watugunung.
"Please forgive Dhimas Prabu,
What did you mean by what you just said? Old bastard? Who does Dhimas Prabu Jayengrana mean?", asked the curious Senopati Warigalit. He is like representing Tumenggung Ludaka, Landung and Jarasanda who are also curious about the words of Patugunung Panji.
"This is a special arrow that I gave to the spies that I installed around Mahamantri Mpu Rikmajenar, Kakang Warigalit.
I have long been suspicious of the old man's behavior. Especially after the Ranggawangsa rebellion because I knew they were friends.
But unfortunately there is no evidence that strengthens my suspicions on Mpu Rikmajenar.
Then the events of Suryanata and Banjarsari at the Daha palace the other day. They established a group against the Crown Council after meeting with Mpu Rikmajenar at his residence. But with his cunning he did not follow Suryanata's steps to revolt against me but instead participated in my coronation ceremony.
This confused me with his indeterminate direction, Kakang Warigalit.
But this time he could not escape the entanglement of the law because of the evidence written in this cloth" said Panji Watugunung with a cold snort.
Senopati Warigalit, Tumenggung Ludaka, Tumenggung Landung and Tumenggung Jarasanda surprised not to play to hear the words of Patugunung Panji.
They really did not expect that Mpu Rikmajenar would be involved so far in the great matters experienced by the Kingdom of Panjalu.
"Then, what are our next actions Dhimas Prabu? We cannot allow Mpu Rikmajenar to continue to complain about the calmness of Panjalu which began to be neatly arranged under your rule", asked Senopati Warigalit immediately. Everyone in the place was waiting for an answer from the mouth of the Maharaja of Panjalu immediately.
Panji Watugunung replied, Demung Gumbreg ran into the place. After worshiping at the Watugunung Panji, Demung Gumbreg immediately sat cross-legged beside Tumenggung Ludaka.
"Please forgive Gusti Prabu I am late" Demung Gumbreg said while respecting the Watugunung Panji.
Hmmmmmm
"Where have you been Mbreg?", asked Panji Watugunung with a smile looking at Demung Gumbreg's face who was tired of regulating his breathing because of running around.
"Please forgive Gusti Prabu,
The new servant from the bath is therefore late here", Demung Gumbreg replied immediately.
"All right, I'll continue. Reading this article, we should be wary of the people of Pakuwon Cempaka.
But don't show it too much. As if we are trapped in the game Mpu Rikmajenar who wants to ambush us. I'm sure, the old bastard will not act alone but he told others to move", said Panji Watugunung who made everyone in the place understand.
"Is it possible that the leader of the ambushers is Akuwu Cempaka, Gusti Prabu? Isn't he the nephew of Mpu Rikmajenar?", said Tumenggung Jarasanda who is usually quiet.
"Why do you think like that?", asked Panji Watugunung who immediately turned to Tumenggung Jarasanda.
"Please forgive Gusti Prabu..
The day before leaving for Kembang Kuning, at that time the servant was eating at a food stall near North Kotaraja Daha. I overheard a conversation between the reasons Mpu Rikmajenar who wanted to go to Pakuwon Cempaka. He said there was an important task from Mpu Rikmajenar.
If it is connected with their ambush plan in Pakuwon Cempaka, is not the common thread of this problem clearly visible Gusti Prabu?", said Tumenggung Jarasanda while respecting the Watugunung Panji.
Mmmmmm..
"Your thinking makes sense, Jarasanda.
All right, it's night. It's time we rest. We all need to be prepared for the worst that could happen.
Do you all understand?", Panji Watugunung stared around him.
"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Prabu" said the high-ranking Panjalu army officers in the room immediately.
After saying so, Panji Watugunung immediately went back into his bedroom. Senopati Warigalit immediately headed to his resting place while Demung Gumbreg, Tumenggung Landung, Tumenggung Jarasanda and Tumenggung Ludaka returned to the fireplace earlier to continue their night patrol duties.
The night soon changed in the morning. Rooster trees unpretentious welcome the arrival of the morning sun. In the eastern sky, the orange tinge began to turn increasingly brighter.
The morning was seen busy busy in the kitchen of Pakuwon Semanding Palace. Akuwu Palgunadi has been watching over the cooks of Pakuwon Palace since dark morning to work fast because according to Tumenggung Sindupraja, they will return to Daha today.
Therefore, Akuwu Palgunadi wanted to give the best cuisine as a sign of respect to the soldiers of Panjalu before they continued their journey.
After breakfast together, Panji Watugunung called the high ranking officers of the Daha soldiers to gather for a moment before they began to continue their journey home to Daha.
In the foyer of the rest hall, Panji Watugunung sits cross-legged with his loyal officers.
"Jasanda, man,
Lead 1000 highly trained Garuda Panjalu Team members to move through the North side of Pakuwon Cempaka. Use the horse of choice so that your movement is fast. I want us to meet next to Soka Forest. I think they'll ambush us there because it's a narrow road and the only route to Pakuwon Locaratna before we cross the Wulyu River.
If they don't meet, comb the entire area along that path. Do you understand? If depart now", order the Watugunung Panji immediately.
"Hamba understands Gusti Prabu", said Tumenggung Jarasanda who immediately saluted the Watugunung Panji and rushed back to carry out his duties.
"Ludaka, though,
Order Lowo Bengi's 200 men to move now. Ask them to be fast-moving. Once you see something, immediately report to us who are moving on the path that has been determined.
Is there anything you need to ask?", Panji Watugunung while staring at the face of Tumenggung Ludaka.
"There is no Gusti Prabu. Slave beg yourself", said Tumenggung Ludaka while respecting and then inching back from the porch of the resting hall.
"Rear of Warigalit, Tumenggung Sindupraja, Landung and you Gumbreg..
Watch the movement of our soldiers. Increase vigilance against every possibility", said the Maharaja of Panjalu immediately.
"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Prabu", the four high officials of the country immediately worshiped at the Watugunung Panji and immediately prepared to depart.
After arranging the soldiers of Panjalu, Panji Watugunung immediately led the troops to continue their journey. Akuwu Palgunadi who drove them to the border of Pakuwon Semanding slightly frowned seeing the change of movement of Panjalu troops.
The young Akuwu immediately whispered to Bekel Kontring nearby. Bekel Warrior Pakuwon Semanding nodded in understanding and carried out the orders of Akuwu Palgunadi.
Panjalu troops numbering about 5 thousand soldiers moved across the border of Pakuwon Cempaka. They continued to advance east quickly. Passing through several women, they arrived at a small woman as a man dressed in all black with Ludaka Tumenggung approached Watugunung Panji.
"Please forgive Gusti Prabu..
"I understand Ludaka..
We just keep going in there so they think we're stuck in this game", Panji Watugunung smiled faintly.
Ludaka nodded in understanding. Panjalu's troops continued to move towards the Soka Forest.
When the road near the field on the edge of Soka Forest which is on the hillside, suddenly..
Krrrraaaaaaaaaakkkkkhh...
Bruuuuaaaakkkhhh!!!
A large tree collapsed across the road. The incident made the Panjalu soldiers who were in front immediately pulled the reins of his horse. From the north and south came people dressed in dark blue with black headbands adorning their faces. They immediately surrounded the Panjalu soldiers.
Haha...
Hahahahahaha.....
The sound of loud laughter makes the ears ringing sick because the sound is surrounded by energy in a high level. The Panjalu soldiers with all their strength refrained from fainting due to the headache that struck due to the loud laughter.
11 strangely dressed men immediately darted down from the hillside as a one-eyed man leaped in front of the Panjalu warriors.
"Little like you guys step aside!
I want to face Jayengrana myself" said Black Demit from the South Coast, shaking his hand.
Whuuteh...
A series of hot winds immediately shot towards the Panjalu soldiers who were in front. Losing strength, the Panjalu soldiers were thrown from their horses.
Patugunung banner immediately shook his left hand to fend off the attacks from the people who confronted them.
Whhhuuuutttth..
Blllllaaaarrr!!!
"Who are y'all? What business would dare to interfere with our journey" Panji Watugunung said as he stared intently at them.
Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..
"I am Kalamaruta, the teacher of Brotoseno the son of Akuwu Tapa whom you maimed.
Today I will avenge all your actions on my student, Jayengrana..
Prepare to die!", shouted Kalamaruta aka the Black Demit from the South Coast.
Hmmmmmm
'Their band of heartache is gathered by Mpu Rikmajenar', Inner Panji Watugunung.
"So you want to avenge the defeat of your disciple the other day Kalamaruta?", Panji Watugunung stared intently at the Black Demit from the South Coast.
"of course!
Because of that damned woman, my student has to be disabled for the rest of his life. After killing you I will tear the woman apart" Kalamaruta said, pointing to Cempluk Rara Sunti who rode to the left of Panji Watugunung.
"You can't necessarily beat me, Kalamaruta. Want to threaten my wife's life?
Prove your abilities first", Panji Watugunung smiled faintly.
"Bad!
The day you survived because of that old Surapati. This time do not expect you to escape my hand!", after saying so Kalamaruta aka Demit Hitam darted rapidly towards Panji Watugunung.
Kalamaruta movement immediately became a sign of the attack of the ambushers began. A fierce fight between them soon ensued.
Patugunung Panji immediately patted the back of his horse as a pedestal to bouncy high towards Kalamaruta who had already chanted his Ajian Cadas Geni.
The Maharaja of Panjalu immediately swung his right hand towards Kalamaruta, which was already bright red like fire due to the Ajian Tread of the Fire God.
Whuuugggggh..
Mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!
Both fighters similarly jumped back after a clash of power in their high levels.
Kalamaruta immediately spread his arms wide to his left and right. A fiery red light rolled in his two hands.
He was preparing to issue the ultimate style from Ajian Cadas Geni named Cadas Geni Destroyer of the Universe. The red light gets bigger and bigger. The hot air rippled around the place.
The Watugunung banner did not remain silent. Seeing the opponent preparing with his ultimate style, Maharaja Panjalu was immediately cast the spell Ajian Tameng Waja. From the initial impact earlier at a glance he could already surmise that the power within the Black Demit from the South Coast was as firm as below. If he's not careful, it's very dangerous.
A golden yellow light enveloped the entire body of the Watugunung Panji.
The Panjalu king concentrated his inner strength in his right hand. From the middle of his right palm appeared a whitish blue light like lightning striking. Apparently he wants to use Ajian Guntur Saketi teachings Mpu Narasima who has a hard nature like lightning.
The more the Panji Watugunung blue light whiteness was getting bigger and then quickly Panji Watugunung grasped it until it changed shape into a kind of javelin created from lightning.
Kalamaruta snorted loudly and then jumped towards Watugunung Panji while smashing his right hand.
"Cadas Geni's....
Chhiyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaat!!!"
A large circle of light like fire rushed towards Patugunung Panji. The king of Panjalu had no intention at all to avoid that red light. In fact he threw his lightning javelin towards the final level red circle of Ajian Cadas Geni.
Even so, the two rays of study did not collide and even drifted quickly toward their respective goals.
Rrrrrrrrrrr!!
A red circle of Ajian Cadas Geni hit Panji Watugunung's body. A loud explosion sounded from there.
While the lightning javelin shot rapidly towards Kalamaruta made the old man waver. He quickly changed the shape of Ajian Cadas Geni into a kind of shield to protect himself.
Mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!
The Black Demit of the South Coast bounced back as far as nearly three spears. Blood flowed out from the corner of his lips.
The Watugunung banner protected by Ajian Tameng Waja walked closer to Kalamaruta.
"Will it continue?"
