The head of the squad smiled sinisterly looking at the defense that the college students had built. The man did not expect at all, even though they were only outsiders who studied Kanuragan at the college, it turns out they were willing to defend the college from outsiders who threatened cohesiveness at the college.
"Show me if you dare young man.., I want to try out how the strength of the students of Gunung Jambu college. Ha..., ha.., ha.." laughing mockingly, the squad chief challenged the young men.
The disciples fell silent, not the least of which they were unaffected by the provocation of the army chief. Their eyes glared sharply at the head of the army, and the people behind him.
"Clap.., Trang.., Trang.." Suddenly the troops behind the army's head, ran forward to attack the students with weapons in their hands.
"Loosen the ranks.., form a defense.." one of the disciples shouted out a cue to the other disciple, who was currently forming a defensive fort.
"Blam.., bluar.." as soon as they let go of their intertwined arms, an advanced arch of air charged toward the troop. The royal people who ran forward lunged to where the disciples were slammed falling backwards. The head of the squad did not blink looking at the situation.
"It turns out they're pretty tough too. My army is in disarray by those students. I'll add energy to them." the head of the troops with nanar stared at the students of the Jambu Mountain college. The man then moved his hands together like a force gathering motion, then swept his hands towards the troops he was leading.
Unexpectedly, the people in the royal army who had been pushed back, again looked fresher than their initial appearance. With a more trengginas attitude, those people came forward and attacked the college students.
The students looked at each other, they seemed to not believe what they saw in front of him.
"How can they change so quickly? What should we do, will we face them?" one of the disciples asked the student beside him.
"They keep going to urge us, it looks like they're getting a stream of energy from the head of the army. It's been giggling for us, if we don't give a fight to them, then our college will get a bad assessment. We must take care of the marwah of Gunung Jambu. Let's face them." yelling, one of the elder disciples, invites his friends to face the royal army.
Not long after, there was a fight in that place. The originally repulsed troops retreated, this time they advanced valiantly. The students also do not want to lose, to keep their college marwah against the troops. Blood has started to pour a lot from the clashes between the two sides.
"We're outnumbered, turn on the torch to tell our friends elsewhere. This time we need the support of our friends." Desperate, the leader of the group of disciples shouted at the other students.
A disciple immediately ran to the back, the man ran to light a torch. But it had just passed by a few meters, suddenly....
"Aaaaaww.." a shrill scream came from the man. A knife stuck in the man's back. But the man felt no pain. He kept trying to get up and stand up, and not long after..
"Pletok.., pletok. door.." the flame and the sound of long mercon rattled the college of Mount Jambu.

"We need to get out of this place immediately. The sound of warning has been sounded by our friend who is on the school boundary. Just get ready...!" darmi's trembling mbok voice, invites everyone to prepare. On the middle-aged woman's waist, there was already Parvati in her carriage.
"We're going where Mbok.., aren't we waiting for men to give us a hand?" a woman in charge of the kitchen asked what purpose they were going to.
"By my command, I have the mandate of Den Ayu Rengganis to escape you and Nimas Parvati, if anything happens to the college. Don't refute my words, follow me. Is everything ready?" once again Mbok Darmi asked about their readiness.
"Wait a minute mbok., I'll take my stash first. I'll follow you soon." a woman flips over, and says goodbye to Mbok Darmi.
"Dorrr.., jueglarrr.." but suddenly the sound of long mercon's bang was heard again in the place. Mbok Darmi immediately pulled the woman, and forbade her from returning to the cottage.
"Come with me Ratmi. We can find treasure, but our lives are one, there is no one to protect us. Come on, we'll be leaving soon." Mbok Darmi yelled again.
As the male disciples prepared to head to the frontlines, the,. Mbok Darmi took the women and children to evacuate. But the female disciples chose to endure, and guard the padhepokan from the attacks of outsiders.
Soon mbok Darmi and some others down the derived road that is beside padhepokan. The road leads to a hidden building deliberately prepared by Ki Cokro Negoro, as a first aid place in case something happens with the college. They walked together, forming a line to the back.
"We go where mbok..., Parvati wants to meet her mother.." suddenly Parvati's voice heard asking Mbok Darmi.
The middle-aged woman flinched, then turned to look at the little girl.
"Dhenok ayu don't be naughty yes.., later the mother will follow us to the hiding place." mbok Darmi tried to calm the little girl.
"Right now, while we have to move first. There will be many guests to the padhepokan, so for a while we have to step aside first." continued Mbok Darmi. While rubbing the little boy's hair, mbok Darmi continued the journey.
"Mbok Darmi..., do we not rest first? Some of the kids in the back already look tired." from behind, there's something they want to rest first.
"I'm not suggesting it. But if you're going to rest first, do it. We will continue the journey, because we do not know what we will face later." without giving a choice, mbok Darmi continue the journey.
Seeing that no one stopped to rest, the parents ended up holding their children. The men immediately continued on their way to the temporary hiding place. Nobody spoke on the way, they followed Mbok Darmi behind.
