The Fighter
Chapter 139 The Assault
Nyai Ageng gasped, the middle-aged woman felt an energy that was very familiar to her, currently being nearby. The smell of kasturi oil feels as fragrant as it surrounds it. The woman smiled gently and put down the embroidery that was in her hand, then sighed. After being silent for a while, Nyai Ageng immediately stood up and walked towards his room.
"I'm waiting for your arrival Kangmas.., I'm sorry that I can't keep your trust well." there was a soft voice Nyai Ageng spoke to someone. The middle-aged woman was sitting on the edge of the bed, waiting for her husband to come. A gust of wind was like hitting the woman's face, and Madam Ageng closed her eyes as if enjoying the gust. After a while, the woman took a deep breath, then took it out again slowly.
"I'll pick you up Nimas soon.." Ki Sasmita whispered to Nyai Ageng, although the woman could not hear what he said. After a few moments of satisfaction looking at his wife's face, Ki Sasmita immediately pulled his tribe back into the body.
The middle-aged man, then ended sitting with him. After sighing, Ki Sasmita slowly laid his body on the wooden couch, and slowly his eyes fell asleep.

Wisanggeni and Rengganis entered the guesthouse that had been used to stay Wisanggeni, when they first came to Jagadklana. The place that entered the hills still looks quiet, like when Wisanggeni first came there. There was no one they met while walking towards the griya. A guard rushed up to them, knowing they were coming.
"Nimas Rengganis.., thank goodness Nimas came here." said the guard who immediately opened the regol to enter them. Rengganis smiled, and when he saw that Wisanggeni was holding a baby, the guard was shocked.
"Nimas..is this the baby of you two..?? Uncle until do not know, because after the Jagadklana Trah ruled by Laksito, uncle and people here decided to never get out of this place. Fortunately, Chief Trah always taught us to grow our own food. So even though we isolate ourselves here, we never lack food." uncle Sambodo told me while walking in front of the two of them.
"This is our uncle's son, we call him Chakra Ashanka. Uncle can call him with Ashan's call." Wisanggeni answered Sambodo's question about the baby who is currently in his carrier.
"Laksmi.., Laksmi.., come here..!" suddenly Sambodo shouted calling out the name of the woman. A young girl hurriedly came to meet them in the living room. The woman called was her daughter, who followed her here due to the lack of support in the city. The girl chose to return with her parents, rather than have to live in a chaotic city.
"Yes father.., instead of this Rengganis daughter of the Chief of the Paternity's Trah." Laksmi who is the same age as Rengganis immediately recognize Rengganis. With sparkling eyes, the girl shook Rengganis' hand and kissed the back of her hand.
"How are you Laksmi?" ask the Rengganis to the girl.
"This is how Rengganis.., I had to go home and return to accompany my father and mother. Circumstances in the city, now it's a cause of death. The Laksito people carelessly pay tribute to the workers, as well as to the merchants, They do not hesitate to punish those who do not want to obey their wishes." Laksmi told me about the chaos in the city. Rengganis looked into Wisanggeni's eyes..
"We will try to reclaim the power of Laksito who leads the current Trah Laksmi. This is why me and my father returned to this breed again." Rengganis answered to appease uncle Sambodo and his family.
"The Chief of the Trah is here as well as the Rengganis?? If yes, thank goodness. May all of us soon be free from all this suffering. Poor people who still survive in the city, they are oppressed every day by the Laksito people. Even those who live in the countryside, they are also obliged to pay the tribute drawn by the Village Chief." Rengganis nodded his head, and the woman took a deep breath. A sense of tightness in his heart heard the cruel suppression carried out by Laksito.
***********
After a few days in Jagadklana, pigeons became the most reliable news delivery tool. The people had been gradually divided into raids on the town where Laksito was located. To protect the Ashanka Chakra from irresponsible interference, Rengganis entrusted his son to the Nyai Ageng place in the middle of the bamboo plantation. The meeting of grandmothers and grandchildren was very heartwarming.
"Mother.., Nimas tipped Ashan here for a while! Nimas is sure, by being with mom.. Ashan will feel calmer." Rengganis said something to Nyai Ageng. Feeling unable to believe if you already have a grandchild, Nyai Ageng ceaselessly kissed his grandson.
"Don't worry too much about your son. This place is safe Nimas, only your father and mother know this place. The Laksito people would not be able to find him." without taking his eyes off the Ashanka Chakra, Nyai Ageng responded to Rengganis' words. Rengganis glanced at Wisanggeni, and they smiled while nodding their heads.
"Well we'll both leave soon Mother.." Rengganis took Chakara Ashanka from the arms of Nyai Ageng, and immediately hugged and kissed her son, then handed it to her husband. Just like Rengganis did, Wisanggeni did the same.
"Be a smart and intelligent son of mine." whispered Wisanggeni into his son's ear, and Chakra blinked his eyes while looking at his father. After a while, Wisanggeni handed his son over to Nyai Ageng.
"Good way, be careful. The Laksito people are very cunning.." Nyai Ageng told his daughter and daughter-in-law. After shaking hands, Wisanggeni and Rengganis immediately headed towards Lion Resti. After rubbing the Lion's neck, Sina Resti then dropped his body to the ground. While holding Rengganis' hand, Wisanggeni directly jumped onto the beast's back. As soon as the two of them were on the back of Lion Resti, the beast slowly flew up into the sky.
************
A few moments above the sky, Wisanggeni saw a mound of buildings on the edge of the lake. After telling Rengganis, the man immediately asked Lion Resti to deliver him to the place.
"Take us there Resti.., take us to the dam!" the sound of Wisanggeni was heard giving orders to the beast.
"Auuummm.." the beast answered him with a long roar, then immediately flapped its wings and headed towards the place Wisanggeni had pointed out. Wisanggeni immediately jumped down followed by Rengganis, while Lions Resti remained at the top to keep an eye on the activities of the two people.
At the edge of the lake, Wisanggeni and Rengganis hid themselves so as not to be known by the people who were guarding the place. After successfully outwitting the guards, the two slowly entered the path leading to the side of the dam.
"Stop my side Nimas..?" whispered Wisanggeni to the ears of Rengganis, when his ears caught the person who walked there.
