The Fire Dragon Sword
The great battle begins
During the trip to Keraton Saung galah Sabrang did not speak at all. Arkadevi felt the atmosphere during the trip was quite tense even Lembu sora who usually became his interlocutor only occasionally talk to his soldiers.
Wardhana is in the front row while ensuring there are no distractions during the trip.
"Welcome sir, you have been waiting for Mr. Wijaya in the main room, please follow me". A Saung Galah Warrior greeted him as they entered the door of the Saung galah palace.
Wardhana handed over an invitation letter as Malwageni representative to the soldier.
They entered a large building that was almost full of invited guests. As Wardhana and the entourage passed by where Majasari's representative was looking intently at Majasari's envoy who was also looking at him cynically.
Arkadewi's feelings were more and more unnerving when he saw Wardhana's gestures that seemed to underestimate Majasari's messenger.
"Welcome to Your Majesty". Vijaya welcomed Sabrang's arrival and let him sit down. Sabrang simply smiled from behind the mask while nodding his head.
"Aren't you overreacting, Your Majesty". A person from Majasari's emissary spoke loudly after Sabrang sat in a chair reserved for Malwageni representatives.
"Please speak before His Majesty". Jaladara rebuked the messenger.
"Sorry sir, I did not mean that, but did not invite Malwageni representatives to smear Majasari's face?". The envoy was still insisting on his opinion.
"Does Saung Galah have to seek Majasari's approval to invite someone?. You speak as if we were smearing your faces, then what are you doing in the Duchy of Ligung and Wanajaya not smearing our faces?". Jaladara's voice grew higher. His face hardened with anger.
"It seems that it has become the habit of Majasari to interfere in the affairs of other kingdoms". Wardhana suddenly stood up and smiled cynically.
"Rebels like you have no right to speak". The envoys' anger grew even higher after hearing Wardhana's insinuations.
"Rebel? You took Malwageni territory by force and called us rebels?".
"You". Majasari's messenger was out of control, he moved to attack Wardhana. But suddenly Jaladara appeared before him and hit his stomach.
"You dare to draw your sword in the palace saung galah and attack our guests".
"Saung galah will pay for all this". Another messenger quickly attacked Jaladara.
"He's a swordsman". Jaladara moved quickly to fend off the attacks directed at him.
"Protect His Majesty". Jaladara moved forward to press Majasari's emissaries who attacked him. Before long dozens of soldiers Saung Galah barged in to help Jaladara capture the messenger.
There were thirty Majasari envoys who all attacked Jaladara and tried to move towards Sabrang and the group who were still sitting observing the situation.
"Master". Gets whispered to Wardhana slowly.
Wardhana just fell silent and continued to observe the fight before him without blinking at all.
The invited guests some still do not believe if the Saung galah palace is now a battleground. They were still silent trying to digest what was happening before him. Moments later they gasped in shock at Wardhana's screams echoing throughout the room.
"Majasari attacked Saung galah, destroy them!". Wardhana shouted while running followed by Kertapati and the others behind. Only Sabrang and Arkadevi were still unmoving.
The battle was inevitable, some of the guests were still waiting to join the fight after hearing Wardhana's screams.
Suddenly, dozens of demon swordsmen were seen entering the fight and suppressing the army of pole masks.
Without anyone noticing a Demon Tree Swordsman was observing from a distance before then leaving with a smile on his face.

"Master train the command has come down". A soldier facing the umbara stump.
"You sure?". The umbara stump that was standing not far from his army stared at the soldier sharply.
"I'm sure sir, the Paki master's envoy said that the cheat army was currently fighting in the palace".
The stump of umbara nodded slowly then he turned towards Raksaka, the head of the demon machete.
"Let's destroy them sir". The raksaka was cold.
"Let's move". The stump of umbara jumped on his horse followed by Raksaka and several other demon swordsmen.
They moved towards Citrajaya Duchy which is one of the duchies that is quite far from the Saung galah palace.

Wardhana with Arkadewi and Sabrang also pursued Rogo geni.
"All according to plan, it's time we take Rogo geni". Wardhana shouted encouragingly at the south wind forces.
Saung Galah's army's move came to a halt when a needle attack fell on them. Some of Saung's troops collapsed to the ground under the attack of poisonous needles belonging to the southern Poison.
Jaladara and Kertapati darted quickly towards the trees. They saw the poisonous jars coming from the trees.
"South wind blow". Kertapati's attack succeeded in hitting the warrior from the southern poison hiding in the trees. He continued to move while occasionally avoiding the poisonous jaurm that led to him.
"Get it!". Jaladara shouted after he managed to finish off the swordsman who was hiding on top of a tree. Hundreds of troops moved back into the duchy of Rogo geni.
When Kertapati will follow Jaladara suddenly his body was blown away by a punch of someone who suddenly appeared before him.
"A quick one". I found him holding his stomach which was hit by the swordsman's blow.
"You think you can just step foot in here?". Nagata stepped closer to Kertapati and looked at her sharply.
Wardhana stopped his steps after seeing Kertapati fall due to Nagata's attack.
"Go sir, let me take care of it". He found out he pulled out his sword.
"Observe heart". Wardhan again ran with the army of pole masks.
"You think you can just walk away". Nagata quickly rushed towards Wardhana.
"I'm against you". Kertapati suddenly appeared before Nagata and released a punch towards Nagata's face.
"A quick one". Nagata jumps backwards avoiding Kertapati's attack.
He smiled after seeing Wardhana was far away from him.
"I'll show you what Malwageni's determination is". He jumped and attacked Nagata quickly. In a short time they have exchanged dozens of moves, but because Kertapati attack arrived to make Nagata not ready to accept it. Some of Kertapati's sabers were able to hit Nagata's body.

"We're under attack". One of the border post guards of the Citrajaya duchy shouted after seeing dozens of tadpoles and hundreds of sword regiments of the Iron-handed army moving towards them.
Raksaka decided to jump off his horse and run in the air. Shortly before he reached the gate of Citra jaya duchy he chanted a style.
"Strongs of a thousand flowers". Instantly, the duchy's gate was shattered by the sword energy that shot out from Raksaka's pedamg.
Half the guard soldiers died without being able to react to Raksaka's attack.
It was seen that dozens of Citra jaya duchy soldiers ran towards the gate. A few seconds later the two sides clashed and in an instant the location became a battleground.
"The sword force spread both directions and surrounded them immediately, the others followed me". The umbara stump gave direction to his soldier just before he moved forward with his spear.
The iron-fisted troops immediately broke away into two groups and moved in the opposite direction besieging Citra jaya forces.
In an instant the Citra jaya army was cornered and became the monthly moon of Majasari troops.
"Father of the God of the Earth". Raksaka again attacked in the front row, in one attack several Citra jaya soldiers died. Instantly their fighting spirit collapsed seeing the prowess of Raksaka.
Seeing the enemy troops getting cornered Raksaka more and more craze, he increased his speed and returned to attack with the tread of his earth god but suddenly a figure held back the tread attack with both hands.
Raksaka's body was pushed a few steps, he quickly withdrew his hand after seeing the green aura enveloping the swordsman's body.
"Black Rose poison? You're an Ajian melted succum user?". Raksaka took a few steps back, he took out some parts of his body.
"I was lucky to realize it quickly". Raksaka adjusted his breathing for a moment.
Mentari stared at the terrifying scenery around him, dozens of Citra jaya troops lying on the ground with terrible wounds. Soon Restu appeared with dozens of southern wind forces.
"What's really going on? did Wardhana's uncle miscalculate?". The mentari muttered in his heart.
"Miss their troop numbers are several times that of our troops, we better retreat first". Restu stared in horror at the Tunggul umbara who was fighting to finish off Citra jaya soldiers.
"If Uncle Wardhana tells you to defend this duchy then we must defend it no matter what". The sun came flying against the iron-fisted troops who started running towards him.
