The Fire Dragon Sword
Big Win
The entire Majasari army had already thrown its sword at the ground. Hundreds of Saung's troops and the south wind halted his attack after his enemy laid down the sword.
Sabrang's ice sword was attached to the commander's neck of Majasari's army.
"Kill me, being pardoned by his enemy is a widespread insult to a soldier.
"I'm not forgiving you, I'm only releasing you temporarily to warn Majasari not to act arbitrarily". Sabrang was still staring intently at the soldier.
"What difference? you still pity us, you think the Majasari warriors are afraid of death?".
Sabrang shook his head slowly before re-releasing the black aura on his body. The atmosphere again gripped with black aura on Sabrang's body.
"You think I won't kill you? If I wanted to I'd give you an excruciating death".
The soldier was silent and almost lost consciousness due to the energy pressure within Sabrang.
"Bring your soldiers away with your coach from before me now before I change my mind". Selesal Sabrang said so the soldier rushed away while tapping the umbara Stump whose half body was still covered with ice.
The sharp look of the umbara stump as it passed Sabrang implied an enormous grudge. They decided to retreat with the remaining troops while bearing the shame. A great empire that was notoriously invincible today was forced to surrender with its face bowed by the remaining followers of Arya Dwipa.
Nature seems to teach that as small as a pebble that blocks you one day will be a stumbling block if you are too arrogant and underestimate the pebble.
Before long dozens of southern wind troops simultaneously stepped closer to Sabrang and knelt before him.
"Congratulations on today's victory His Majesty the King".
All the troops of Saung Galah were silent to see what Restu and his troops were doing, even Mentari reflexively kneeled.
"You will be a great King, Your Majesty". He murmured in his heart.

"Sir, I have something to say". A soldier facing the Axis hastened.
"Have they captured the Citra jaya duchy? isn't it too slow for such a large army to conquer a small duchy?". The axe speaks confidently.
"Our forces were beaten back sir, only a few dozen troops survived". The soldier spoke in a brick.
Like being struck by lightning, Paksi almost jumped from his seat to hear the news of the defeat of Majasari troops.
"What did you say? try saying it again!". The axe shouted at the soldier.
"Our squad lost completely, sir, even the patih master was seriously injured".
"Tell me in full". The axe shouted at his soldier.
The soldier recounted in outline if Saung Galah had read the whole plan of Axis and moved as if they were in a Axis trap.
The Axis body shook violently, the strategy that he arranged from afar with a very careful heart can be read by Wardahana who was his own student when he was still a master of the Malwageni investigation.
"Bad you're Wardhana! I should have killed you long ago". Axis gnashed his teeth.
"We must immediately go to the Majasari palace master, it would be very dangerous if we stay here".
The axis shook slowly "No, our heads will be at stake if we go back this time". The face of the Axis was deathly pale, the confidence it had all along collapsed instantly.
"We'll hide for a while until things get better, get ready to leave as soon as possible".
"Good sir". The moment the soldier stepped out sounded a fight from the outside.
His axis and soldiers walked quickly looking towards the source of the commotion.
Visible Wijaya and Kertapati together with some south wind troops thrust into the direction of Paksi stand.
"How do they know my hiding place?". The face of the Axis is getting pale, as a strategist canuragannya science arguably does not exist.
Wijaya stared at Paksi for a moment before again disabling the soldiers who tried to block him.
"Wardhana is really terrible". Wijaya muttered in his heart.
"How do you know the Taxi's hiding in there?". Wijaya looked at Wardhana curiously.
"If Paksi divides the two armies then to make it easier for them to connect he will choose a hiding place in the middle of the two regions. The distance between the Saung galah palace and Citra jaya Duchy is quite far, if we can pull a straight line then this place is the one he is most likely to use to hide" Wardhana drew some lines and circles on the ground.
"Wesi brani's duchy?".
Wardhana nodded slowly "The character of the Wesi brani region is slightly hilly and is the most powerful duchy of his army among the other duchies in Saung galah. You've heard the term the safest hiding place is in enemy territory. No one would have thought Paki would dare to hide in the strongest Duchy in Saung galah and he made psychological use of everyone to hide.
If we see his habit of always thinking on the edge of the river while listening to the flow of water then the most suitable place for him to hide is in the black hill through which the big river passes. I'm sure you'll find him down this river".
"How can you think in that detail?" Wijaya was amazed at Wardhana's thought.
"To defeat your enemies you must become like them". Wardhana smiled a little.

"It looks like you're in a hurry, Axis, it's been a while since we last met". Vijaya drew his sword towards the Axis that was about to flee.
"I don't think you're still alive, Wijaya, I heard your entourage was ambushed by Majasari's forces when you escaped with the Queen". The axis tried to calm down while smilingly staring at Wijaya.
"I won't die until Malwageni takes me back".
Axis chuckles at Wijaya's "You're still loyal to Malwageni? what has Malwageni given you?".
"Warriors like you won't understand the meaning of loyalty". Wijaya immediately attacked quickly making the axis cornered. A while later the sword that was held by Axis came apart.
Wijaya swiftly put the tip of his sword on the neck of Axis.
"You've lost the Axis, give up or I'll have to act tough on you". Wijaya stared intently at the Taxi.
"Is he okay?". The taxi asked Wijaya.
"Wardhana's so good at the moment that she's even better than the last time we met. You know the axis, the sleeping Dragon is now awake and ready to destroy anyone who stands in its way.
You gave him the nickname The sleeping Dragon so you must understand how much potential he could have if he could awaken his potential".
The axiom shook its head while smiling wryly "Who thought my decision used to teach him all the war science I have become the master's eating weapon".

"When do you want to daydream, miss? It's time we went to Saung galah's palace". Sabrang suddenly brought his face closer to the face of Mentari making him almost scream so shocked.
"He's still as stupid as ever, I think my thoughts are too much about being a great King". Mentari snorted in annoyance and turned his face which began to blush red.
"Young master I told you.....". Mentari said Sabrang had cut him off.
"The poison in your body could hurt me? I'm tired of hearing that. After the business in Saung galah is done I will take you to Dieng to seek the Water of life and treat you. Your gloomy face won't solve the problem, let's go we're almost left behind by the troupe". Sabrang held onto Mentari's wrist and half dragged her to walk.
"Your young master....". Mentari scrunched his forehead to see Sabrang's hand touch his skin but there was no poisoning reaction on Sabrang.
"I told you my body is immune to poison, so don't keep your distance from me too much".
Mentari was relieved to hear Sabrang's explanation, after he mastered the style of melted breadfruit studies no one could touch his skin directly.
"Thank you young master". Mentari walked quickly in front of Sabrang, he did not want his happy cry to be seen by Sabrang.
"Aren't you overdoing it, son? how long will you use your inner strength to suppress the poison of the black rose while with her as if your body is completely immune to poison?". Anom asked slowly.
"Until we find the Water of life and treat it, don't you yourself say that the water of life is able to remove the poison in his body". Sabrang said while regulating the breath and flowing earth energy throughout his body to remove the poison that entered his body.
"Dieng is not a place you can go to as you like".
"I know Anom, then I will become stronger as soon as possible and find an antidote for her. After all I have to make a pact with the Fire Dragon in the fog cave".
"You're dreaming too much boy". The sound of the fire dragon rising made Sabrang chuckle at hearing it.
