The Fire Dragon Sword
Sabrang Down the Throne
The atmosphere of the Malwageni Combat Hall that morning was busy, dozens of soldiers were ordered to remove all weapons from the arsenal.
They seemed confused by the order arrived, no one knew the intent of taking all the weapons out of the storage warehouse.
Meanwhile hundreds of soldiers from the southern Fire and Wind regiment began to gather in front of the combat hall.
The ox sora and Wijaya came first, they immediately asked all the soldiers lined up neatly. Some soldiers were left out of line to assemble a pile of weapons ranging from swords, spears to bow arrows.
Before long Wardhana appeared with Arung and Paksi, they appear to be wearing typical Malwageni war robes.
Hundreds of soldiers who began to understand the situation shouted the name Malwageni.
Wardhana just waved her hand before entering the combat hall followed by the others.
"Sit down" said Wardhana slowly, he unrolled the scroll on the table and circled some points near the mountain of padang.
"I'll take these two lanes to outwit them" Wardhana opened the meeting.
"Master, isn't that the path to the Valley of the Suckers? you sure we're gonna get through that place? in addition to the extremely difficult path, the place was famous for the mystery that enveloped him," asked the puzzled Oxen Sora.
"Listen to me, this moment of dislike we've been left one step behind from them. Gunung padang is the territory of Saung Galah and this time they are more in control of the battlefield, it will be difficult for us to compensate them this time if we do not have other solutions.
If I were Jaladara, I would think as the Sora Ox said, I'm sure you wouldn't want to pass through that place. They must be thinking the same thing as us, therefore they will put their troops on the path that we most likely pass to ambush us. As I said we will be instantly destroyed if we move through this path.
Besides, I'm sure Thunder Fire will also pass through this path because if they go through the valley of the suction of the tribe it will twist and take time" Wardhana replied.
"So we'll let them fight each other first?" ask Wijaya.
"Right, as I said yesterday, I want to use Saung Galah to destabilize the situation and take advantage of the chaos.
I want Sisters Wijaya and Arung to move quietly behind the Thunder of fire and wait for them to meet. When the situation has heated up, arise and attack Saung Galah, so they will consider Thunder Fire is part of the Malwageni.
As they began to fight, retreat and move around to head towards this point. If this main line is drawn straight then it will meet the path of the Valley of Suckers, we will meet at that point to begin the next plan. I don't care who will win between them but one thing is for sure, whoever wins their strength will weaken" Wardhana said softly.
Wijaya was seen nodding, he kept remembering the path Wardhana had shown to escape.
"You don't have to worry, I'll put an archery squad in some places if my plan fails, they'll protect you and show you the way to escape" Wardhana continued.
"How do you believe the Thunder of fire will pass through this place, what if they also think the same thing as you to move quietly?" ask Wijaya.
"Read the opponent's moves then you'll win the fight, that's the key in the battle. Human nature will tend to change and do not pay attention to small things when they have great strength, confidence that is actually their weak side.
They assume no one will be able to stop them with what they have so why are they hiding? that's what we're going to be looking for this time" Wardhana said.
"Okay sir," replied Wijaya slowly.
"Be careful because the battle this time will be different from before, our enemies are not only Saung Galah and Thunder fire but also make sure Pagebluk Lampor does not come out or Nuswantoro will be destroyed.
Maybe some sects in Nuswantoro are our enemies but that's not the point. Like it or not we have to keep saving the martial world despite all the problems of the martial world. It's not just about hostility but about the lives of people.
I have asked elder Wulan and mistress of the concubine to inform the matter of Pagebluk Lampor to all the sects that we know both friends and opponents. Now we just have to wait for the results they bring. If they want to join then there will be many advantages that we get in addition to additional troops against them.
But if no one wants to join it does not change anything, we will still prevent Pagebluk Lampor out and protect Nuswantoro" said Wardhana firmly.
All were silent after hearing Wardhana's remarks, they realized that the battle this time was not only for the sake of protecting Malwageni but also for the sake of Nuswantoro. What Wardhana says is true, it's no longer about hostility but about a lot of lives.
"You missed one small thing Wardana, put troops here" said Paksi arrived.
"That? mount Padang Peak?" Wardhana seemed to think for a moment.
"Do you understand now?"
Wardhana nodded softly while smiling in relief, she had almost forgotten the important thing in the battle this time.
"Thank you teacher, I will ask Lingga to lead Hibata and Cakra Tumapel to be at the top of Mount Padang" said Wardhana.
"Are you going to lead an army from the other side?" ask the Taxi slowly.
"No, this time His Majesty will lead directly with the Queen Mother" Wardhana replied softly.
"His majesty leads directly? does that mean..?" The axioms did not continue their words.
Wardhana closed her eyes for a moment, as if she was still hiding something far more important than the war this time around.
"Right teacher, there's actually one thing I want to tell you. After the war is over, His Majesty will abdicate" Wardhana said slowly.
All who heard Wardhana's words gasped in shock as if struck by lightning, how could the young king and currently the strongest swordsman retreat to arrive.
"You're kidding, aren't you?" asked Oxen sora with a trembling voice.
"Unfortunately no, that's what His Majesty told me. For some things, His Majesty will disappear from the martial world after the battle, he will prepare something. As long as His Majesty disappears, the throne of Malwageni will temporarily be held by the mistress of the goddess Tungga queen until he returns. Please do not let this news spread among the soldiers for a while, their fighting spirit can decrease" Wardhana replied.
"So the news of the killing of four world leaders in the dimensional space is true?" ask Paksi not to believe.
The process of transitioning power from Her Majesty to Gusti Tungga Dewi queen will clearly shake the martial world and the kingdom of friends, I want the teacher to petrify the queen wrestling lead Malwageni. I'll stay in Mahapatih's position but maybe part of my mind will be focused on this issue" Wardhana replied.

Sabrang stepped slowly towards the queen pavilion, his face looking flat as if he was thinking of something. He took a deep breath as if he was gathering his courage to meet his mother.
His steps halted in front of the room door, he was seen clenching his hands before knocking on the door.
"Mother" said Sabrang slowly.
"Come in, does a king need to ask permission to see his mother?" sekar pitaloka's voice sounded from within.
Sabrang smiled slightly, he opened the door slowly before seeing his mother being with Mentari.
"Dance?" Sabrang looked surprised when he saw Mentari.
"Your Majesty" Mentari rose from his seat and saluted.
"What made you here?" asked Sabrang curiously.
"He helped you say things you couldn't say" Sekar replied slowly.
Sabrang was silent for a moment before walking over.
"So Tari said it to my mother" Sabrang said slowly.
"Forgive your Majesty, you are afraid to talk to the queen mother" Mentari replied.
"There's no need to apologize, I should be thanking you, Tari" Sabrang said slowly.
"So you're really going to step down temporarily from the king's position?" ask Sekar Pitaloka.
"True mother, please forgive me, there is an important thing that I want to make sure," replied Sabrang.
"Do you have to abdicate? until now you can still move despite serving as king" replied Sekar Pitaloka.
"The matter this time will be a little different mother, I have to move on my own to facilitate my investigation. In addition, it is time for Malwageni to its glory.
I decided to raise the Goddess for a while to replace me, I hope Mom and Dance will take care of her. I will come to visit when the full moon reaches its peak" Sabrang said slowly.
"Is this about dimensional space?" ask Sekar slowly.
Sabrang nodded slowly, "Do you believe that dimensional space can be damaged?"
"I not only believed but from the beginning I forbade your father to raise the eyes of the moon. Dimensional space is actually the same as this world, which is different only its location.
Just like the real world, dimensional space could be damaged if it continued to be used. Unlike this world, we do not know what is in the dimension of space and time. I started to notice it when I was researching the dimensional space with your father, the strange aura and the tear-off that was on the dimensional wall when your father pulled me into his dimensional space.
The dimensional wall began to be fragile, the protective aura of the wall slowly disappeared along with the many people who mastered the style. The one thing you're afraid of is what the protective wall functions. Was it just as an ordinary protector or was there something they were trying to seal with that wall? "
"So you also master the style of space and time?" sabrang asked in surprise.
"Yes, but your father decided not to reuse it after learning that the wall was starting to be fragile. If what you're worried about is true, you have to make sure that the wall is sealed forever" Sekar Pitaloka replied.
"Actually when Ciha sealed the place, she saw the world leaders being killed by a mysterious person in the dimensional space. Is it possible that the dimensional wall has been destroyed?"
"World leaders are being killed? are you kidding me?" ask Sekar Pitaloka in disbelief.
"That's what Ciha bu said, and she came out of space and time in a state of severe injury with a sword almost all over her body" Sabrang replied.
"Word of swords all over the body?" Sekar was seen taking a book from his pocket.
"This is the book of the Sabdo Lodge that you found in an ancient tomb when your father and I were investigating about the Thunder of Fire. This book seems to be much older than Gropak waton though," Sekar Pitaloka opened the book slowly and stopped on one page.
"The flick of the sword of light will signify the appearance of the Sabdo Lodge, the hundreds of sabers of the sword signifying the beginning of judgment. The entire body will feel sore when flashes of light form wounds all over the body. The rain of blood on a full night will be the beginning of the destruction of the martial world, nature will punish all but the exception. The light will come to stop the chaos with its power"
"Is it possible that this book is related to the destruction of dimensional space? or even the book of the Sabdo Lodge is a reminder of the destruction of dimensional space?" ask Sekar Pitaloka slowly.
"It looks like we should call Wardhana's uncle ma'am" Sabrang said quickly.
"Don't kid, for a while we have to keep this matter a secret to Wardhana. Tomorrow's battle was also much more important than this matter as it concerned the lives of the crowd.
We will solve the problem of Pagebluk Lampor first and make sure Thunder Fire is destroyed, after that we only discuss the Book of Sabdo Lodge.
It seems like for a while that dimensional space will be safe if you seal it with the seal of eternal darkness. After all these problems are resolved we will begin to try to solve the mystery of Sabdo Loji," said Sekar slowly.
Sabrang nodded his head, he turned towards Mentari with a smile.
"No need to worry, I'll be fine. I will visit you when the full moon reaches its peak" Sabrang said as if he knew the restlessness of Mentari.
