The Fighter
Chapter 90 Practicing
With the help of residents who could be saved, Wisanggeni gathered other residents in a house that was not so affected. Currently they just enjoy dry food brought by Wisanggeni and Rengganis. The look of the empty population was like losing spirit. After a while,
"Tell me what happened to your village!" in a soft voice, Wisanggeni asked residents to tell what happened to his village.
"Yesterday night there was a sudden attack to our village Wisang.., it is said that the attack was as a result because the padhepokan which was not far from the village we refused to be invited to join the Alap-alap gang. Finally they went on a rampage, robbing women and killing many of the young men who fought against him." Sasongko recounts the chronology of the attack, which was apparently triggered by the Ala-alap mob.
Wisanggeni was stunned, he did not expect that the Alap-alap horde was still spreading chaos everywhere.
"The fighters who did not want to join the gang of alap, they were attacked and finished off. In our village, no one actually joined the college or the padhepokan, but the mob thought we were hiding it. Finally.., without any prior knowledge, our village on earth was scorched." continued Sasongko.
"It seems that this incident not only hit our villages, yesterday there were traders who told, if in some regions there was also chaos like this. Some padhepokan and many colleges joined their forces, because they did not want to be made a mess." the other villagers added.
For a moment Wisanggeni fell silent, then he turned to Rengganis who was also busy helping to drain the energy in the injured people.
"What is Kang Wisang.., if Akang wants to ask what if our journey will be temporarily interrupted, or we will leave them in this place in this state?" Such a rengganist understands what her husband wants to ask.
Wisanggeni nodded, and Rengganis stopped her activities and approached her husband.
"We will help them first Akang.. Once they get the protection they deserve, we're going to spread the news of this chaos to the West, so they can further increase their level of protection. What say?" with a smile, Rengganis proposed a thought.
"Thank you, my wife, you always know what I think." Wisanggeni smiled while kissing Rengganis' forehead. The girl pushed Wisanggeni's chest, because her husband did not know the place. The man did it in front of the residents they managed to save.
"Ha.., ha.., ha.., just relax Nimas. No need to care about us, let's just say that we're just a tree.." Sasongko teased them.
"Yes., let Wisang show affection to the wife." said another.
Wisanggeni laughed, and they then rested while devising the next strategy.

Aided by residents who had begun to improve their health, Wisanggeni led them to visit other villages. They wanted to gather the population, and form a new group of citizens and practice kanuragan. The women and children brought by the Alap-alap gang wait to be released. Rengganis is currently teaching children and women to simply guard themselves from the first aid of the wicked.
"Jleb.., jleb.., jleb.." The arrow shot from his bow into the target. Arrows are the easiest weaponry for them to hold by utilizing the wood that is widely available there.
"Use your two eyes to aim at the target, to be more precise in the shot. Don't close one eye!" Rengganis yelled at the women and children.
"Children who are not playing, help to retract the arrows that are still stuck in the target goal" continued Rengganis again.
There was joy and pleasure in the eyes of the woman, because of the hope to save their family members who were captured and forcibly taken by the Alap-alap gang. After making sure there were no mistakes in practicing archery, Rengganis looked at her husband. It seems Wisanggeni is teaching how to take the horses and defend themselves from the opponent's attack. The woman slowly walked over to her husband, she sat on the dhingklik while looking towards the training arena.
"Klang.., klang.." the machete sounds met each other as the men practiced.
"Bang.., bang.., bang.." Various groups of people practice by adjusting to their individual strengths. Sasongko, Wiyono and the young men who already had a strong kanuragan base, they still circled around the village, to find their friends who might still be hiding themselves.
Seeing Rengganis sitting nearby, as his eyes watched the training arena, Wisanggeni then came to his wife.
"Have you reached Nimas..?" asked Wisanggeni gently to his wife. For days, Wisanggeni felt he had ignored the existence of his wife. The population still needs a lot of support both psychological support and direction in order for them to rise.
"No Akang.., but the women and children have increasingly seen playing bow and arrow. Nimas just keep an eye on them, and that Nimas can do from afar," said Rengganis, then his hand welcomes the hand of Wisanggeni, who invited him to stand back.
"Nimas..., does Nimas not feel long for Akang?" asked Wisanggeni by whispering into his wife's ear.
Rengganis's face immediately flushed red looking at the expression her husband showed. The woman understood what is meant by miss by Wisanggeni.
"Yes already.., if Nimas does not miss Akang. Now Akang longs for Nimas." said Wisanggeni by signaling through his eyes.
"There are many residents who need our help Akang. Cook us both in the house." whispered Rengganis while pinching her husband's waist.
"He.., he.., he.., it's true that Nimas. But Akang saw next to this village there was a cave. We might be able to try it there, well.., once.., once we can both in the middle of the wild." shamelessly, Wisanggeni teases Rengganis.
"Ah Akang.., why the hell from earlier his mind ran to it." said Rengganis while looking embarrassed.
Suddenly from the side, Rengganis saw a girl running towards them.
"Hi.., what is Citra..? why are you running?" Rengganis held the little woman's body to stop her.
"Bulik asked the mother to rest there. Already made a warm drink.." it turns out that a little woman named Citra, asked Rengganis to immediately rest.
"Good pretty.., go first! In a moment, bulik will follow you there." said Rengganis while releasing his hand. The little girl smiled, then waved her hand and returned to her place.
"Let's Kang.., let's rest first." take Rengganis to Wisanggeni.
"Where.., are we going to the cave that Akang told me about?" whiskey Wisanggeni.
