The Ancestral Country
Capturing Traitors

The two scouts kept running. As soon as they reached their horse which was tethered to a tree at the edge of the forest, they immediately jumped on their horse and spurred the horse out of Pakuwon Bedander.

In the North of Siwatantra Palah, they stopped. And walk to a house behind the trees. An old man and a young man were there.

"Before Ki, Maktal was killed in the slaughter" a scout reported to the long-bearded old man.

"What's? How could the Red Devils be slaughtered?", said the half-confident old man.

Then the two scouts told of a ruthless army that slaughtered all the Red Devils mercilessly.

"Hmmmmm.. Soldier army? How could it be that great?", said the long-bearded old geezer.

"They were led by a young man Ki, it seemed like the nobility in view of the way he dressed. But his canuragan abilities are amazing. Maktal died with only 5 moves", the scout recounted the incident that killed the Red Devils.

"Who is this noble? If the Red Devils to death with 5 moves, it means that his ability is equivalent to the God of Death. It's critical.. You keep intending their movements, and quickly report if there's anything important", the long-bearded old geezer was nervous.

"Ready Ki, we say goodbye first", two scouts rushed out of the place.

"Balasambu, immediately report this to the headquarters. I'm afraid the troops are hunting down the activities we do", the long-bearded old man ordered to the young man named Balasambu..

Balasambu saluted the old man and jumped on his horse, darting quickly away from Pakuwon Palah towards the north.

'Who exactly is this noble youth? If he was able to kill the Red Devils with 5 moves, he would be a martial arts swordsman. But there are no great young warriors these days, except....'

Thousands of questions filled the long-bearded old man's brain..

Meanwhile, Garuda Panjalu's forces collected all the bodies in the mansion and burned the headquarters.

The treasure of their robbery, Gumbreg and 3 friends who became his subordinates.

A piece of letter cloth was given to the Watugunung Panji.

While the body of one of their members, they buried it outside the headquarters.

After making sure the base was burned down, Garuda Panjalu's troops left the place and returned to Bedander's pakawon palace.

Akuwu Madangkungan immediately greeted them. The wounded soldiers soon received treatment from the court healers Pakuwon Bedander. Increasingly increasing suspicion of Akuwu Madangkungan.

Ki Saketi who understood the facial expression of Panji Watugunung, immediately rushed to ask Jarasanda, Landung and Ludaka out of the Bedander pakwon palace to observe the surroundings of the palace and suspicious people.

"You must not be caught observing the situation around Pakiwon Palace. Could our plan fail to reveal the rottenness of Akuwu Madangkungan".

"Good Ki", said Ludaka, Landung and Jarasanda compact. They immediately rushed out of the pakuwon palace on the grounds of wanting to see the crowd of the city.

Patugunung banner whispered to Dewi Srimpi to prepare the antidote to the poison. The black veiled girl nodded and immediately disappeared into the room to make medicine.

Ratna Pitaloka and Sekar Mayang were asked to hang out with Madangkungan's wife and her concubines while observing the situation inside Pakuwon Bedander's palace.

Gumbreg who takes care of supplies gets an order to lure Madangkungan to see the treasure from the Red Devils headquarters.

The eyes of Madangkungan widened to see a pile of silver and gold pieces guarded by Gumbreg and his 3 friends.

'This big fish will be caught red-handed later tonight', Panji Watugunung smiles at the behavior of Akuwu Madangkungan.

By dusk, all the report bearers gathered in the supply tent.

"Gusti Panji, some places around Pakuwon Bedander palace are suspicious. To the north of the palace walls, there seemed to be a translucent road lined with piles of wood" reports Ludaka.

"When you return from the headquarters of the vandals, there are at least 5 people who continue to observe activities in the palace", Jarasanda chimed.

"Hemmmm apparently so his behavior" said Watugunung with a smile knot.

"It seems that Akuwu needs a lot of money Kakang Watugunung, his concubine all dressed expensively and changed jewelry in the morning and evening", Ratna Pitaloka stunned everyone except Panji Watugunung and Sekar Mayang. They did not expect that the estimate of Watugunung Panji did not miss at all.

"Tonight we share the task. Landung, Jarasanda invited the front guard to drink wine, to divert attention. Gumbreg, set your man up with loose guard. Ludaka, get Arimbi, Rajegwesi and Laras to sneak in the dark. Ki Saketi and the others will behave normally" said Panji Watugunung divided the task.

"Dreams, please,

Where's the antidote for the poison?".

Dewi Srimpi immediately approached Watugunung Panji and handed him a ceramic bottle containing a small brownish pill.

"It's a poison pill, I don't think I missed. Madangkungan seemed to want to take this treasure, and the news from Dinda Mayang, they would put sleeping pills into the food.

You'll all stay awake despite eating the sleeping pills, but for Gumbreg and the one keeping the supplies I'm asking you guys to pretend to be asleep after dinner".

Everyone nodded a sign of understanding and carrying out activities as usual.

After the red hue in the western sky disappeared, dozens of maids delivered food to the Watugunung Panji and Garuda Panjalu troop troupe.

Akuwu Madangkunan grinned widely to see Garuda Panjalu troop members eating voraciously.

By midnight, the moon after the full moon is still half over.

Ten people dressed in black with face coverings, moved heart to heart in the darkness of the shadow of the night. Their movements were very agile as they were accustomed to.

They did not realize the four pairs of eyes continued to follow their movements.

Jarasanda and Landung were pura drunk, glancing at them.

Ki Saketi who was in a sleeping position in the ward porch only glanced for a moment.

Upon entering the supply tent, Gumbreg and 3 of his men fell asleep. One of the shadows shook Gumbreg's body but it seemed that Gumbreg was really asleep.

Let's go get all these treasures. Quick!", a man gave orders to the person in black.

They quickly carried small crates of money and jewelry and expensive silk cloths out of the supply tent.

Not until the 5 steps, a heavy voice stopped their steps.

"Where are you going to take that box?"

Ki Saketi and Garuda Panjalu soldiers have surrounded the place.

The black-clothed people gasped to see they were already surrounded.

"Didn't you guys get some sleeping pills?", a stuttering voice came out from one of the people dressed in black and wearing a face mask.

"Just relax, such a drug will not affect us Akuwu Madangkungan"..

Deggs...

Panji Watugunung's voice really makes Akuwu Madangkungan pale. Patugunung Panji walked slowly followed by 2 concubines and 1 waiter.

"You think I don't know, who leaked the secret of our arrival to the headquarters of the security intruder?", Panji Watugunung threw a lettercloth at Akuwu Madangkungan.

"Generating or we are forcibly arrested"

Akuwu Madangkungan really did not suspect before, that his perfect plan would fail miserably that night.

"Rather than giving up is better to fight, instead of,

Come Fight them", Akuwu Madangkungan pluck keris from his waist.

All his men pulled out their weapons.

"Ki Saketi, catch them alive or dead", shouted Panji Watugunung which made Ki Saketi jump forward.

A fierce but unequal fight soon ensued. Although a draw in numbers, but the ability of the soldiers of Garuda Panjalu troops far above the thieves.

In a few moments, they were helpless. Akuwu Madangkungan growled immediately to jump after Watugunung. Haven't had time to touch, a hard kick from Sekar Mayang hit the man's stomach.

Akuwu Madangkungan was thrown in a kneeling position. His stomach hurts amazingly. Before standing, a sword was already stuck to the neck of Akuwu Madangkungan.

"Move a little, I'll slash your neck"

Ki Saketi looked towards Akuwu Madangkungan with a flat face.

"Take them all to prison!", the Watugunung Panji said immediately.

Garuda Panjalu's forces led Akuwu Madangkungan and his nine followers to a prison near the town square.

The morning atmosphere of Pakuwon Bedander was in an uproar, when he found out that Akuwu Madangkungan was trying to rob a loot from the headquarters of the security intruders.

But his wife and son managed to escape through a secret passage, under his bed. While the concubines could do nothing.

The Bedander pakuwon warriors swore allegiance and supported whoever became the next Akuwu Bedander.

The Watugunung banner immediately sent a letter to the Duchy of Seloageng, requesting the immediate replacement of Akuwu Bedander. Ludaka and Rajegwesi are in charge of sending letters.

For a while, the position of Akuwu Bedander was empty, but the government affairs in the hands of Ki Saketi while waiting for the new Akuwu Bedander.

After all was under control, Panji Watugunung accompanied by 2 concubines and 1 waitress and some people like Landung, Jarasanda, Marakeh and Rakai Sanga shot south.

"Where are we going Watugunung?"
