The Fighter
Chapter 102 Movement
Cokro Negoro gathers elders and young people in the courtyard of the village. After getting information from Sutrisno, if the Alap-alap horde had made a move, Guru Wisanggeni was not willing to waste time. Together with other elders, Cokro Negoro devised a strategy to prevent the horde from entering, and cripple its power.
"Thank you everyone, you have provided the time and opportunity to gather together on this page. There's important information and things I'm going to tell you all." Cokro Negoro began the welcome he gave to all present.
All who were in the courtyard instantly kept silent, they noticed Cokro Negoro talking. The moment they had been waiting for to test their strength had finally arrived.
"The boundary guard, has given a report if the Alap-alap horde has moved to visit and invite several universities to join their groups. Schools that agree with them will be safe, but those that refuse will be destroyed. It became no other choice from the leaders of the college, finally they decided to join the black school group." continued Cokro Negoro.
"We elders have had talks together, and we have a mutual agreement. Wisang.., you convey the results of the elders' talks to all who are here." Cokro Negoro ordered his disciple Wisanggeni to convey the strategy devised by the elders.
"Good Master.." holding out his hand in front of his chest, Wisanggeni stood beside his Master. Cokro Negoro patted the young man on the back three times, then the old man sat down to join the other elders.
"My brothers all.., may we all always be in Hyang Widhi's protection. The elders decided, we who are here will be divided into seven groups. The meaning of the number seven, based on the Javanese philosophy that is from the pitu language, is a short word from Pitulungann or help. Hopefully by dividing into these seven groups.., we will really get help from Hyang Widhi." Wisanggeni conveyed what his teacher asked.
"The seven groups will be chaired by Sudiro.., Atmojo, Nimas Niken Kinanthi, Maharani, brother Lindhu aji, brother Wijanarko, and myself Wisanggeni. The elders will divide themselves, and will monitor us. They will quickly send help, at times if we are desperate. We will divide the seven groups into four directions, and the three directions will divide themselves to become our strongholds." continued Wisanggeni.
"The group will be drawn, and Nimas Niken assisted by Maharani will go around to do the drawing. Do not be disappointed when you get a group leader who is not in accordance with the wishes of your heart. The goal of all of us is one and the same, that is, we will eradicate arbitrariness and oppression on this earth. Such is the news I can share with all of you." Wisanggeni ended his announcement.
As soon as Wisanggeni withdrew, Niken Kinanthi, Maharani, Rengganis, and several young people did the voting. They immediately joined the disciples who were in the courtyard of the boarding house.

"Why can't Anis go with Akang on the battlefield?" Rengganis sulked at Wisanggeni, because the girl was not allowed to come out of the hills of Mount Jambu.
"Nimas.., do you think the task you are carrying is easy?? When me and everyone are outside these hills, there will be a lot of potential for people to attack here. Your task will be difficult because you also see that if Larasati is currently in a state of great pregnancy, she will not have free space like you. Likewise with Kinara, the wife of the Janar kang was less so has the science of canuragan." Wisanggeni tried to give understanding to his wife.
"But Kang.., the rengganis won't let Akang leave for a long time." Rengganis is still trying to influence her husband.
Wisanggeni walked closer to his wife, his right hand rubbing the girl's stomach.
"Nimas.., remember. The next generation of the Bhirawa Clan will be in this belly. Your task is not only to secure this aggression, but also to ensure that the next generation in the womb of Larasati will also be safe. For this time, don't refute my words Nimas." Wisanggeni reaffirmed the importance of the task carried by his wife.
Hearing her husband's words, Rengganis could only sigh. She did not dare to argue with her husband.
In the morning when the sun had not yet appeared, the people in Pesanggrahan left the place. The combined pupils of the various colleges followed the heads of their respective groups. From the front of the cottage, Rengganis delivered her husband Wisanggeni with tears of sadness. Various indescribable feelings, filled the chest cavity of the girl.
"Nimas.., stop your crying, deliver Rayi Wisanggeni's departure with a smile and do.a." Kinara came to Rengganis, she tried to calm the girl down.
"Yes, but I can't stop these tears. Too often Kang Wisang left me, but this time there was great grief over his departure." with tears flowing, Rengganis expressed his sorrow for Kinara. Wijanarko's wife hugged Rengganis.
"Nimas.., we must take care of each other and must not be careless. It is our great responsibility to defend this order. Let's arrange it, and set it all up!" Larasati suddenly calmed Rengganis.
Hearing the words of Larasati, then his eyes saw the big belly of the wife of her husband's sister. It makes the Rengganis ashamed.
"Yes Laras.., I'm ashamed to see you. We should strengthen each other and take care of each other, but I even become weak like this" said Rengganis lirih.
"Okay.., let's keep watch and get back to our respective positions." Larasati said with a smile.
"Both of you, keep watch here! I'm going ahead on the border of these hills." The gang became excited. The girl immediately prepared to get out of Pesanggrahan, while Larasati and Kinara stood guard on the inside.

"How's the guard outside uncle?" Rengganis asked the guards at the border.
"For the time being Nimas is safe, hopefully no one will try to infiltrate here. The hill protective veil that the elders had installed, it did not seem like just anyone could pierce through it. So Nimas.., there's no need to worry too much." the guard tried to calm the Rengganis. The middle-aged man, did not yet know the true strength that the girl possessed.
"Hopefully the reality is what we expect uncle. But even so, we must remain vigilant, lest we let our guard down and escape from guard." Rengganis gave instructions without intending to patronize.
"What Nimas said! Uncle will patrol the corners of the hills." the guard responded.
"Okay uncle.., keep watch here! I'll go around the hills first." Rengganis. Not long after, the girl had already used her shawl to move from one place to another.
