The Fire Dragon Sword
The Hidden Plan of Wardhana II
"Slowly the plan you made began to destroy them Wardhana," said the White Fox amazed at the sight of Arkantara's troops beginning to retreat, he recalled Wardhana's message before leaving for the battlefield.
Just then the White Fox and his army were about to leave the Capital to ambush the Arkantara troops, a man wearing a face cover stood in their way.
"Master," said Wijaya who was preparing to attack.
"Please follow your servant, Your Majesty would like to speak to you" said the gentleman politely as he showed the royal plate.
"Your highness?" asked the confused White Fox.
"There is no time to explain it, I was just asked to take you to see him" said the man quickly.
The White Fox seemed to think for a moment before nodding its head.
"Sir, what if it's a trap?" ask Wijaya slowly.
"No need to worry, isn't that slab only owned by Wardhana? he's not a careless person, something is going on and I have to make sure. You take the troops to the battlefield as planned, I will catch up with you soon" replied the White Fox before darting away to follow the warrior.
"His movements were quite fast, he was not an ordinary swordsman, what was really going on. If the boy wanted to see me he should have been able to talk at the camp earlier," White Fox said inwardly as she followed the mysterious man.
After moving for quite a while, the swordsman slowed down his speed and shot towards the cave which was in the middle of the forest close to the border of the Capital.
The White Fox's attitude was instantly on standby, his right arm tightly grasping the machete tucked in his waist.
"Welcome sir, sorry to confuse you a little but circumstances compel me to do this," a man wearing a full battle robe appeared to greet him on the lips of the cave.
"Wardhana?" said the White Fox surprised.
"I will explain everything inside, right now His Majesty and Mr. Mahawira are waiting for you" Wardhana said, bowing his head in salute.
"Even the head of the Fire and wind sect? what exactly are you planning?" the White Fox replied confusedly because as the core army, the Hero should have been hiding around a high hill to ambush.
"Your Majesty, everyone has gathered" Wardhana said asking for permission to speak to Anggukan Sabrang.
"I'm sorry to confuse you but His Majesty was forced to do this because of our desperate circumstances."
Wardhana then began to explain the current situation where Malwageni was surrounded from various directions including by Saung Galah. He also explained that since the beginning of the south Wind forces have been infiltrated by the eyes of Pancaka.
"I deliberately allowed those eyes to direct them through the false information I had just told them at the camp. There is currently no other way to turn things around except to deceive everyone including the queen Gusti so that Arkantara is fooled. I'm risking everything on the plan this time," Wardhana said softly.
"So from the beginning what did you say at the camp about the plans of the Emprit Neba and the Supit urang was a trap?" asked the White Fox in surprise.
"It is not entirely a trap, because the two formations we will use together after me and His Majesty managed to seize the troops of Saung Galah," answered Wardhana slowly.
"These Saung Galah troops? are you so sure they'll take our side back? what if they prefer Agam?" ask the Wira to talk.
"I will take care of Agam and the rest we leave to uncle" Sabrang assured.
"Actually the key of Saung Galah's army is in the hands of Princess Andini and Candrakurama is currently picking her up. I will have Wulan send a message to the Capital after successfully seizing the troops of Suang Galah, until that time comes you guys are the key to holding them off for a while.
"Am I too sure of this plan? right, I am very confident that their eyes will report all my orders and indirectly direct their troops as I see fit. Stamp them at this point for a while and the Lingga will move silently after successfully breaking up the opposing army.
"I have asked Lord Darin and Revelation Tama to wait for Lingga and his army here from the beginning. After Madame Emmy got the sign from Arung, the, he will move backwards to help the queen Gusti to intercept the relief forces they have prepared near Trowulan and that means you have to pull back the troops to lure the enemy near the location of the trap.
"Me and His Majesty with the army of Suang Galah will turn around to surround them, if you have seen me on the battlefield use the Garuda Nglayang Formation simultaneously and Lingga will help the Wira master maximize the Emprit Neba. I'm sure with Mr. Darin and Wahyu Tama's strength this combined formation will explode in Trowulan and we'll end their resistance with the Fire Malwageni," wardhana said closing his explanation while showing a small ball made of clay.
"Wait, are you saying that they're still keeping troops somewhere? how the hell did you know? asked the White Fox curiously.
"I admit in this war they managed to outwit me but I also open people who only have one plan because nothing is certain in the science of war. Before the arrival of the Arkantara envoys I had already inserted eyes in the Saung Galah army to monitor the Prince's movements, they were the ones who told him where the enemy's secret forces were," Wardhana drew a small dot near the capital's border.
"What are their numbers?" ask the Wira to worry.
"Enough to take control of the Capital but I've asked Ciha and Eagle Eyes to set a trap here using the fog seal so that they will just turn around here before being paralysed by the queen's Gusti army and Arina," answered Wardhana confidently.
"Eagle's eye? aren't they a mercenary group that's only loyal to money?" asked Wira a little worried, he did not want Wardhana consumed by Arkadewi's scheming.
"It's actually quite easy to tame them, other than because we have a close relationship with Arkadevi's mistress, I've traded some of Masalembo's Science for their loyalty" Wardhana said.
The White Fox looked amazed by the plan Wardhana had made. He believes the Malwageni trainer only learned about this war a few days ago after Arsenio reported it and in a very short time he was able to make plans involving large numbers of people including the Mata group hawks.
"Since when did you start contacting Eagle Eyes and asking them for help?" asked the White Foxes in amazement.
"Since I realized my mistake at the Khayangan Temple, at that time I asked one of the Kalang warriors to meet the Eagle Eye Group and offer cooperation in exchange for the relics of the Masalembo civilization and I was sure they would agree to it.
"Miss Arka is sneaky but she's not a bad person so I'm not too worried about giving up a little bit of Masalembo science. I have to put everything we have including the Eagle Eye because there is a lot at stake in this war" replied Wardhana, he got up from his seat and took Sabrang away.
"The thing that makes me believe this plan works is the whereabouts of you and Lord Hero. It's not without reason that I chose the two of you and if I may plead, explode in battle this time, " Wardhana said before stepping away.
"Excoded? without everyone realizing it, you are the one who exploded in this war, really a scary human being," said the White Fox as he signaled to form the Garuda Nglayang formation after seeing Wardhana appear.
"Wijaya, form Garuda Nglayang formation, I will be the center of the attack this time," the White Fox used a bit of Suanggi energy to increase its speed because this formation requires a strong "Bear" as the main key to "explode".
"Damn, their formation changed again. Your Excellency we have to go home, I have prepared an army to open the road and at this time may be on the way," said Rengga with a heavy heart after seeing his troops besieged.
It is quite heavy for Rengga who has high confidence to say retreat because this defeat really tarnishes his face.
Rengga's anger was mounting because with a much larger army he felt completely toyed with by Wardhana but if he was late to retreat his life would be lost.
"At this time we have lost, Your Majesty, if we continue to force it, Arkantara will fall. Servants still have a plan that might turn things around but before that we have to find a safe place to regroup" replied Rengga limp.
"You are really stupid! if until the plan you've made again fails, I'll chop off your head myself" Saragi said, upset as she began to move back.
"Excuse your Majesty's servant," replied Rengga holding back his anger, he looked at Wardhana who was starting to jerk in. Garuda Nglayang's two-way attack completely destroyed Arkantara's forces.
"Shape the Circle, use the Byuha Cakra formation and Protect Your Majesty," cried Rengga.
The half of the warriors of the Holy Temple who mingled with the Arkantara army instantly formed a circle and released an aura to form a deep energy shield.
After the inner power shield formed they slowly moved to one side while rotating while the Arkantara troops began to retreat and protect the warriors.
"Byuha chakra? so you have given up and intend to retreat yes, I will not let you," Wardhana again gave a sign to break the formation.
The nearby Arung directly led some of the troops to suppress the Arkantara formation while the Lingga and Wahyu Tama began to release the great Aura from their bodies and press along.
"It's time," cried Lingga when he saw dozens of knife Tumbuk Lada darted towards the army Rengga along with the emergence of Arsenio and Hanggareksa with their respective troops.
Several Sacred Temple warriors who were hit by the pepper mash blade attack instantly collapsed and in an instant the formation of the inner power shield shattered instantly making all the Arkantara warriors panic.
"Where they are, the relief forces should have come and opened the way" said Rengga, who began to lose his composure.
The hilt was further squeezed as the ice floes arrived and formed a circle from two sides restricting the movement of the Arkantara forces.
Seeing the enemy getting panicked, Sekar Pitaloka and Mentari who had just arrived on the battlefield were getting excited. Dozens of ice continued to pop up making the air around the battle turn cold.
"Malwageni will not be easy to fall this time because we have two twin dragons that will always be ready to protect" said Sekae Pitaloka satisfied.
"Wardhana, I will drink your blood to the end" cried Rengga annoyed as he ran towards Wardhana.
The strategist who had fooled Wardhana out of it was really lost his composure.
"History will not record how many troops you because in the end the strong winner," Wardhana also ran towards Rengga.
***
Barapati swore loudly when looking back at the sign on a tree he had made, hundreds of his troops began to look tired because almost hours of walking but strangely they returned to the beginning.
"Are we just spinning around in this place, sir?" said one of the confused Arkantara warriors.
"I don't know but something's wrong with this place, we need to get out and help Your Majesty" Barapati replied worriedly.
In addition to being assigned as a road opening force, Barapati was also appointed as the leader of the relief force that had been prepared by Rengga.
In addition to his ability of high kanuragannya, he is also famous for being smart and cunning that is what makes Rengga very believe in him.
"Master, that strange mist is coming again" the Arkantara soldiers shouted as they watched the white mist approach.
"Form a combat formation and don't get separated as long as the fog hasn't dissipated, '" cried Barapati.
Emmy, Tungga Dewi, Lenny Darow, Arkadewi and Wulan suddenly appeared and attacked quickly with his troops as thick fog enveloped the place.
The sound of screams of agony and swords clashing sounded so loud before disappearing back along with the loss of the white mist.
Barapati gasped in surprise when he saw many of his troops who had died without knowing who attacked.
"Is this how Malwageni fights?" barapati shouted annoyed while staring at the surroundings. No one at all, the atmosphere was so calm and so gripping.
Arina who was hiding on top of one of the trees again signaled to Ciha to use the fog seal.
"Do you feel desperate? that's what my whole family used to feel," Arina said in her heart while watching Tungga Dewi and his troops again attacked with the arrival of white fog.
Arkantara's formation was completely destroyed this time, some of the soldiers even chose to flee because fighting an invisible enemy would never be easy. The existence of the eagle-eyed swordsman who was used to fighting in the forest really perfected Wardhana's strategy.
"Defend the formation, I'll find a way.." Barapati had not finished speaking a sword slash against his neck.
"Fast right away..."
"I have to pay the young king a great price" Arkadevi said, sheathing his sword.

Explanation of the war strategy used in the Chapter this time.
Garuda Nglayang's
This Garuda Nglayang strategy relies on the strength of a large army such as a flying garuda and imitate the movement of a garuda bird, where the commander and leader of the army are in the beak, head, wings, and so on,and the tail gives orders to its men with tactics such as the behavior of a garuda bird that snatches or pecks, etc.
In essence, this attack relied on one main senapati on the mid-half position, then the right left wing moved freely with a slightly heroic positional regulator, because the protection of the position of the troop organizer was in front, then the right left wing moved freely with a slightly heroic position, the core troops occupy the foot claw position, then the main leader is on the tail as the position of the last sweeping force.
Byuha's Cakra strategy is a battle formation to get into the middle of the battlefield that has already happened . The Cakra Byuha circle will go straight into the middle of the war, then expand as the circle gets bigger.
This formation can face in all directions according to the developing state in the fierce terrain. This formation is usually used to protect the king, important people, prisoners or heirlooms, which will be taken to a place.people/protected items are placed in the middle of the title, while the troops protect a layer of round/circular. with the tip of the tip of the gear the troops move to destroy the barrier that hinders.
