The Fire Dragon Sword
The Battle of Mount Padang II
"You gave me a chance to escape, but you came to me, I won't be able to help you twice" Sabrang said confusedly.
"I want to join the war, please allow me Your Majesty," replied Pancaka.
"War? since when do you care about Malwageni?" ask Sabrang.
"I live in hatred for you and everyone around you. It was all unfair to me because even though I was born from the womb of a concubine, I also had the blood of a father. I just want to fight one more time, if I have to die, I want to die for Malwageni, maybe that's the only way to make amends.
You don't have to trust me because what I've been doing all this time may not be forgivable, but please this time let me join the battle Your Majesty, after that I'm ready to accept whatever your decision is," Pancaka knelt before Sabrang.
Sabrang took a deep breath, it was quite difficult for him to believe in Pancaka after the betrayal he had been doing all this time.
"Do you still have to think when we need help?" Sekar Pitaloka emerged from behind the door in his full battle robe.
"Mother.." said Sabrang slowly.
"Wardhana is waiting outside, we must hurry, some troops have moved with Tungga Dewi, Ken Panca and the White Fox, there is no time to think about small things like this. If you can give Lingga a second chance, why not your sister?" reply Sekar Pitaloka.
Sabrang turned towards Pancaka who was still kneeling before him.
"Well, this time I will grant your request, prepare yourself we will leave soon," Sabrang got up from his seat and stepped away.
"Thank you, Your Highness" said Pancaka slowly.
"Honor Your Majesty," Wardhana knelt as she watched Sabrang walk out of her room.
"Is everything ready uncle?" ask Sabrang slowly.
Wardhana nodded softly, "Hamba is waiting for orders," Wardhana replied quickly.
Sabrang looked around looking for something.
"Has Dance and the teacher not back yet?"
"Sorry, Your Majesty, maybe they are still on their way" Wardhana replied.
"On the way? it seems like they did not manage to persuade the martial world sect to join us," Sabrang replied.
"Your Majesty," Wardhana bowed her head, seeing Mentari and Wulan who had not yet returned she was also sure if the martial world warriors were reluctant to join Malwageni.
This was actually estimated as early as Wardhana. The competition between sects and their respective ambitions would be a hindrance even if their enemies were the same.
"Uncle, order all to begin moving, with or without their help we will destroy them" Sabrang told Wardhana.
"Hamba is taking orders" Wardhana replied quickly.
Hundreds of Malwageni troops began moving out of the palace complete with all the oversized banners as Wardhana showed red scrolls and gave orders.
Sabrang this time leading the front, he really wants to ensure victory is in the Malwageni this time.

Jaladara's decision to move the entire army from the main line to the Sukma Sucking Valley without calculation began to cause problems.
Jaladara may not have realized because he was so sure he had won one step from Malwageni. The location of the battle that was in the Saung Galah region made him so confident and forgot the small details in his army.
If the previous plans were made so detailed that the coordination lines between the troops were included, this time all looked confused. Jaladara impressed rush for fear Malwageni troops will come before their preparations are completed.
Jaladara only emphasized the point where his troops were hiding to ambush the enemy without giving command level direction before reaching him as the supreme commander.
This small mistake will not be seen if the opponent really entered the trap according to his plan because after all in every scattered army, both the arrow troops and combat troops have their respective commanders.
But if Wardhana is able to mess up a little of their plan then the Saung Galah troops will be unsteady without knowing where they should report.
As seen in the Saung Galah arrow troops, the, they did have a leader in their army but the change of place and main location of Jaladara camp as the supreme commander who was now further inside the forest left them a little confused.
The arrow troops that were on top of the hill made it difficult for them to go down to report. Practically this time the arrow troops only relied on their own decisions in case of trouble, and that was what Wardhana read when calling Kuncoro to get a special task.
"They will move the troops into the path of the Sukma Sucking Valley, change the plan by involving many troops not without risk if not accustomed and we will take advantage of the chaos they made themselves.
Malwageni was used to changing plans when we were on the run, but they weren't. Coordination and command line between commanders will be chaotic because they have to adjust as soon as possible. I want you to find out where the arrows are and infiltrate any way.
Arrow troops are usually far away from the main army because they have to hide in high places to aim, infiltrate and wait for a sign to move" Wardhana said firmly.
"Infiltrate any way? you are really troubling sir Patih," said Kuncoro as he darted quickly between the big trees.
"Where should I find their hiding place?" muttered Kuncoro in the heart as he stopped at one of the tall trees located not far from the path of the Sukma Suction Valley.
Kuncoro watched the surroundings while continuing to think.
"Think Kuncoro, where are they hiding?" Kuncoro stared at the high hill on the left of the trail.
"The archery army needed a broad view to aim at and the only place was the hill."
Kuncoro scrunched his forehead when he saw some of the Saung Galah soldiers who looked agitated and hid in some cracks and caves near the path. Kuncoro can see everything because it is the tallest and lush tree so that it facilitates observation.
"Has the Malwageni army arrived?" Kuncoro seemed to think for a moment before moving his heart back towards the high hill through a detour. His science of canuragannya high enough to make it easier for him to move quietly without making a sound.
When Kuncoro was near the high hill, dozens of people were hiding with bow arrows directed down.
"True to my guess, they'll be looking for the highest place. Now how do I infiltrate?" he said in his heart.
Long enough Kuncoro was up in the tree to think before seeing two archer soldiers who were at the very back were debating something, and at the same time dozens of people wearing all-black clothes moved towards the Valley of the Suckers.
"Wire, they are definitely not Malwageni troops, is it possible that Thunder Flame has moved this fast?" Kuncoro looks panicked
"What he thinks, soldiers are also human, if you want to pee it will not be held," said the soldier as he walked closer to one of the big trees.
"My body?" The soldier gasped in shock as he could not move his body.
"Thank you for giving me a way to infiltrate," a blow to the neck knocked down the swordsman.
"Now just wait for the time according to Wardhana's orders, hopefully not too long or they will suspect the soldiers disappeared for long" Kuncoro said in his heart.

Antoro who hid with the troops of the Galah Mask in one of the caves on the edge of the cliff looked confused when he saw dozens of people moving closer.
Looking at the faces and clothes they were wearing, he was pretty sure they were not Malwageni troops.
"Who are they really? and why they want to pass through a path that is very rarely visited by people," said Antoro while signaling his troops to stay in place and see the situation.
"Don't move, I'm sure they're not from Malwageni. Let them pass, I don't want our plan to be ruined by misrecognizing the enemy" Antoro whispered to his troops.
While the dozens of people Antoro saw were getting closer at the trap point, a woman appeared to be moving at the very front with great caution.
Andini gave a signal to stop when she felt something, she smiled slightly as she moved back.
"Saung Galah's forces are here, as long as they don't attack just assume we don't see it. They seem to be waiting for Malwageni troops, we can use them to hold Wardhana and his troops," whispered Andini as he continued to move.
The atmosphere became extremely silent as they held each other's movements, Antoro seemed to gulp down his saliva as he felt the pressure of the aura coming out from Andini's body.
The silence broke as an arrow thrust rapidly into Andini's body.
"They attacked?" Andini drew her sword and deflected the arrow easily. The atmosphere became tense as the Fire Thunder warriors surrounded Andini to protect her.
"Who released the arrow without my command?" antoro's angry.
"What are you waiting for? they are enemies, should Sir Patih behead you before releasing the arrows?" shouted Kuncoro who was wearing the clothes of archer soldier Saung Galah loudly.
"Stop them," Antoro and the army of pole masks came out of hiding to stop the arrow attack.
But the situation was already heating up, Andini and the warriors of Thunder fire already considered Saung Galah to attack them. Seeing Antoro moving closer they immediately attacked.
"Damn," Antoro who actually wanted to speak well was forced to defend the opponent's attack, making the battle unavoidable.
Kuncoro again thrust his arrow towards Andini who was fighting. The increasingly heated situation makes the army of archers Saung Galah no longer pay attention to who Kuncoro, they also release arrows because they think Andini and his entourage attacked the army of Mask Galah.
Kuncoro's face became increasingly smiling as Cakra Tumapel warriors who had been hiding from the beginning entered the battle to further heat up the situation.
Most of the Cakra Tumapel warriors attacked the Saung Galah army and some of them silently attacked Thunder Flame.
"Your plan is absolutely perfect Mr. Wardhana, now they kill each other and whoever wins it will benefit us" Kuncoro said in his heart as he continued to release arrows.
As Kuncoro began to aim at the fire Thunder warriors he began to realize something.
"Is the leader of the Fire Thunder a woman? or do they split the two groups and move also on the main line? if so, Paki's forces are in danger" Kuncoro said worriedly.

"It seems like the battle has already begun" Lingga said when he heard the explosion from the direction of the Suck Valley.
"We must hurry," Emmy moved towards the pile of rocks from earlier making a beautiful sound.
"The stone's location is not natural, it seems to be deliberately arranged in such a way as to hide something," Emmy said as she felt one of the stones and knocked on it.
"The sound is different from other stones, the stone is arranged according to the high and low sound of the stone," Emmy knocked the other stone.
Emmy then stood up and stepped slightly away to look at the stone array from afar.
Emmy scrunched his forehead when he saw a well not far from the stone structure, he walked up to the well with the Linga.
"Let go of all Lust and ambition, the sound of nature will lead you to Nagara at noon, whether this word may be related to this old well" Emmy said slowly.
"What do you mean by this well?" ask Lingga confused.
"Let go of all lust and ambition, it seems to be related to self-cleaning. Self-cleaning has always been related to water, I believe this well has something to do with the message found in the Blue Wind sect" Emmy retorted softly.
"Quick solve the mystery of this mountain, we do not know when they will get here. Candrakurama, order the Hibata forces to spread out and tighten guard, we must prepare everything before they go up" Lingga ordered.
'Okay sir," reply Emmy and Candrakurama together.

Sacred well in Mount Padang...
In the area of Gunung Padang precisely near the entrance to the tour of Mount Padang there is a Well called Sumur Kahuripan or Water life, there is also a saying Banyu Susuk Tungga well (banyu means water, water, susuk means to stick, tungga means one) it is believed to be able to treat all kinds of diseases both physical and mental illness.
Usut had a stretcher, apparently not a few visitors who pray at the well. They prayed to be healed of various diseases and many prayed for a soul mate. The trick, by taking water from the well and some are washed to the face.
"It depends on each belief, do not let the result of the water source makes people pray for their god (musyrik). The water from this kahuripan well comes from mountain rocks in the Mount Padang area" explained Zainudin (Kuncen Gunung Padang) to detikTravel.
PNA raises the myth of this well but I put it on the top of the mountain to make it easier to unite the myth and mystery of the style of the Fire Dragon Sword....
lastly and most importantly, PNA re-decreased its position in the rank of Vote. so for those who want to support and get a bonus chapter on the other day please vote your points...
Thank you....
