The Fire Dragon Sword
The Imperial Envoy of Shang
After the humiliating defeat of Majasari and the loss of the Duchy of Rogo geni, they continued to strengthen their forces.
Dozens of sects from various sects had been successfully persuaded to join them with the lure of the domain of power and wealth.
Patih Tunggul umbara is clearly the hardest hit with the defeat, his life even almost floated if Sabrang did not forgive him.
After the defeat, Tunggul umbara continued to improve his canuragannya under the guidance of the sect elders who joined Majasari. Umbara also sought military cooperation with other kingdoms outside Nuswantoro.
All his efforts finally paid off today, Majasari the arrival of the imperial envoy of Shang from the mainland of the yellow river. A beautiful land that is also where the warrior Demon tribe came from.
The Shang Empire was the largest empire on the yellow river plain that controlled almost the entire land.
They continue to try to expand their territory by offering military assistance. The Shang Empire was indeed the strongest at the moment in both military and war strategy.
Many kingdoms chose to submit to them for fear of being destroyed. Submissive royalties usually always pay tribute to the emperor in the form of money or beautiful women.
The umbara stump along with several elite soldiers The iron hand was seen standing near the dock as a large ship leaned back.
Seeming a middle-aged man staring at the friendly Umbara, he was seen accompanied by dozens of soldiers in blood-red clothes.
Umbara's stump furrowed his forehead, his body trembling slightly as it felt a pressing aura arriving, arriving, it was not the middle-aged man or the surrounding soldiers who caught the attention of the umbara Stump but the four swordsmen who were at the end of the deck of the ship.
"What is this weird aura? my body feels heavy and immovable" muttered the umbara stump in the heart.
One of the warriors seemed to smile coldly for a moment before appearing.
"Fastly," said Tunggul umbara as he scrunched his forehead, he was very sure the swordsman was still standing on the ship.
The bloomer seemed to point at his mouth several times as if giving a sign to talk.
One of the soldiers who understood the sign given was seen raising his hand.
"I am the interpreter sir, you can talk to me but you can draw this aura because my body is completely immobile" said Gandi who spoke a foreign language.
The swordsman seemed to nod while pulling his aura.
"I just want to make sure everything is safe before my master gets off the ship" the swordsman replied.
Umbara turned towards Gandi asking for an explanation.
"He wants to make sure first before his master gets off the ship" replied Gandi quietly.
"Say they are currently in Majasari territory, I guarantee their safety."
Gandi then explained the situation while introducing himself, the swordsman nodded his head a few times before signaling the others to come down.
"My name is Feng ying from the Golden Sword sect, happy to get an invitation from Majasari," he said introducing himself.
Gandi lowered his head, "Thank you sir for coming, may there be good cooperation between Majasari and Shang empire," replied Gandi politely.
He then introduced the umbara stump and several other warriors.
"Welcome to the earth Majasari lord," Stumpul Umbara lowered his head as the middle-aged man who had been standing on the boat approached him.
The man replied to the friendly Tunggul umbara greeting.
"My name is Liu Xingsheng, the Emperor is very pleased with your invitation, he left some small gifts for the king of Majasari" Liu Xingsheng replied as he showed several chests containing ginseng hundreds of years old.
Gandi immediately translated Liu's speech so that the umbara stump could easily communicate.
"Thank you Mr. Liu for fulfilling our invitation, Your Majesty has long wanted to establish cooperation with the Shang empire" said Stump umbara slowly as he pointed to a palanquin of Majasari's greatness and invited Liu Xingsheng aboard.
Liu Xingsheng nodded slowly as he walked towards the stretcher, Wait for the umbara to appear to follow behind him.
Feng ying and his three elder brothers followed behind.
"I can't wait to try the science of the Nuswantoro warriors," said Feng ying excitedly.
"You must remember our duty Ying'er, the chairman asked to investigate the existence of the perennial herb that is said to exist in Nuswantoro. The chairman needed the potion to gain the emperor's trust" said Wenhua, one of the talented young warriors of the golden sword sect who was also Feng ying's elder brother.
"I know sis, I just want to try the new style that teacher gave me, I promise I won't make any serious trouble" Feng Ying whined.
"There is no reason, after arriving in the kingdom of Majasari infiltrate out. Find as much information as you can about the perennial and Masalembo potions. Remember your job is to find information, do not make movements that can provoke the anger of the Nuswantoro warriors. I know you have high magic but our main mission is not to fight but to find the potion" said Wenhua firmly.
Feng ying nodded slowly, although he was not satisfied with the reply of his elder brother but did not dare to argue.
Feng Ying understood the nature of his elder brother, although Wenhua was a quiet figure but he could turn into a bloodthirsty demon when angry.
"Alright I will obey what you ask, after all it seems like the martial world on this land is not as strong as in the Shang empire," replied Feng ying uninterestedly.
Mehhua only smiled at the behavior of his younger brother who was too crazy about fighting.

"Hamba is facing His Majesty," Wardhana's voice sounded from outside.
"Come uncle," replied Sabrang quietly.
Wardhana stepped in, she lowered her head before sitting in front of Sabrang.
"Is the Goddess gone?" ask Sabrang slowly.
Wardhana nodded slowly while looking at Sabrang in confusion.
"Your Majesty, sorry if the servant is presumptuous but is it not too risky to allow the queen's wrestling to join the war? moreover, the team he leads is a team of deceivers who will create chaos in the city center," asked Wardhana slowly.
"He whines all night for various reasons, can I prevent it?" reply Sabrang slowly.
"But His Majesty the task of the team of fools is very dangerous, they could have been surrounded in the center of the city."
"No need to worry uncle, however the goddess is the former chief Hibata, it is not easy to paralyze him. Besides I've asked Candrakurama to infiltrate with Hibata and look after them."
"Then does anyone want uncle to report?"
Wardhana nodded slowly, her face looking tired because in recent days she was sleep deprived to make sure there was no gap at all in her plan.
"The team to cut off the logistics of Majasari led by Lingga had departed this morning, they would join forces led by Jaladara if the war had begun.
You will lead a south wind army and some warriors from the west of His Majesty, while the servants will move from the opposite direction. We'll meet in the city center when the team of fraudsters gives a sign" Wardhana replied softly.
Sabrang nodded slowly, he seemed to close his eyes for a moment.
"Dad, help me to reclaim what is ours" Sabrang murmured inwardly.
"Did my uncle bring what I asked?" ask Sabrang then.
Wardhana nodded slowly, she took out a bundle of clothes and gave it to Sabrang.
"Thank you uncle, I just want my father to be present in my body during the war" Sabrang undressed and tried to put on his battle robe.
Wardhana's face changed instantly when she saw Sabrang in his battle robe. He was like seeing the figure of Arya dwipa in Sabrang's body.
"Your highness" said Wardhana inwardly.
"Uncle, I will go first to make sure of something, please tell uncle Sora and Wijaya to move first, I will meet them at the meeting point the morning before the war," Sabrang said slowly.
"Sure something?" Wardhana scrunched her forehead.
"Not to think about it, this has nothing to do with the war this time," Sabrang replied calmly.
"Okay, Your Majesty, I will tell you to Lord Vijaya and Sora," Wardhana replied as she lowered her head as Sabrang stepped out of the room before disappearing with her space and time.
Sabrang reappeared in the forest that became the boundary of the northern ice footprint.
Kertapati who had been waiting for him immediately knelt down when he saw the presence of Sabrang.
"Honor Your Majesty" said Kertapati.
"Sorry uncle waited too long."
"Please don't talk like that, Your Majesty," replied Kertapati quietly.
"So is it certain that he betrayed?" asked Sabrang coldly.
"According to the orders of the Paki master, I spied all the teliksandi spread and what he feared was true, Restu has betrayed His Majesty. After the servant met him, he was seen meeting a Majasari warrior in a house."
"Did uncle catch them?"
He nodded slowly, "After they left the house the servant and some troops managed to subdue him, the servant held him in a hut near the forest."
Sabrang's face looked disappointed, his arms looking clenched indicating he was holding back anger.
"Let me see Restu, I will kill him with my own hands" Sabrang said furiously.
"Sorry Your Majesty, why didn't you tell Mr Wardhana this matter?" tanya Kertapati curious.
Kertapati did report to Sabrang about Restu's betrayal but Sabrang asked him to keep the matter a secret and wait for him in the forest.
"The war this time was very important for Malwageni and Wardhana's uncle. He didn't even sleep for a few days to finalize his strategy.
Uncle Wardhana and Paki will be the key to our victory, I don't want uncle wavering to know the teliksandi of his treacherous faith. I'll take care of this myself" Sabrang held Kertapati's shoulder and asked her to prepare.
"It's gonna hurt a little bit, hold on a second, uncle" he finished talking until they both disappeared.
***
Kertapati's body fell to the ground when it suddenly appeared in the middle of the forest, the pain in his body made him unable to stand.
"What pace does His Majesty use," murmured Kertapati in heart.
"Uncle is okay?" ask Sabrang slowly.
Found nodding slowly, he continued to drain the energy throughout his body to restore his stamina.
After his body could be moved, Kertapati got up and took Sabrang to a hut not far from him.
Two soldiers greeted them while bowing their heads.
"Honor Your Majesty" they said simultaneously.
"Take them out" Kertapati ordered.
The two soldiers nodded slowly, they went inside the hut for a while before coming out carrying two prisoners.
Restu's face changed instantly when he saw Sabrang staring at him sharply.
"Are you named Restu?" ask Sabrang.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me," Restu immediately knelt before Sabrang.
"What are you really thinking?" Sabrang shook his head.
"Hamba confessed His Majesty's fault, please forgive me. Servant tempted by the lure of the lure of a very large gift, please give the servant one chance to correct the mistake," said Restu pleaded.
"Do you know Uncle Wardhana believes in you so much?"
"Hamba has never done anything wrong so far, Your Majesty, several times I even helped Miss Mentari, please consider."
"Due to your words, the person you call the lady is now a Malwageni concubine" Kertapati snapped.
"I'm sorry you don't know, I just want Your Majesty to consider the services that you've been doing all this time" Restu continued to talk like a gesture of loyalty without regard to Kertapati's words. The fear of death caused him to panic.
"You!" Kertapati did not continue her words when Sabrang asked her to shut up.
"You even dared to carry Mentari's name to save your life, are you really afraid of death?" Sabrang released keris energy from his hand.
"Hamba wants to serve you and your Highness Malwageni, please forgive me servant" said Restu lirih.
"Serving me?" said Sabrang cynically.
The dark lord keris began to spin in the air and slowly approached Restu's body.
"Do you know how many lives would have been lost if Uncle Wardhana's plan had been leaked?" Sabrang was seen taking a deep breath before moving his arm.
"If you feel meritorious to my concubine then I will repay her by giving you a quick death without pain," The keris energy suddenly darted quickly and penetrated Restu's body before moving around and killing the Majasari warrior next to him.
"You really let me down" Sabrang murmured inwardly.
"Uncle, bury them properly, after that return to your entry," said Sabrang before disappearing again with the style of space and time.
"Hamba received His Majesty's order" Kertapati replied.
