Heru Cokro nodded his head and headed back towards the command post. He did not know, that Nogo Sosro whom he feared was dead at the hands of Ulo Sowo. 10 minutes later, he saw a signal from Latansa.
Heru Cokro was startled, and immediately mounted his horse, in a deep low tone, he said, "Go!" The infantry platoon in front and the cavalry in the back, they moved towards the fortress.
The fortress guards stationed there were astonished to see the huge and mighty army, suddenly appearing before their eyes. They had little or only a few guards in the post, most of the fighters had been entangled in the battle between the three commanders, how could they hold back the Javanese military Dwipa?
It took a little effort to occupy the main gate. Latansa came rushing over from the side, saying excitedly, "Welcome Your Majesty!"
Heru Cokro nodded his head, and quickly said, "What's the situation in the fortress?"
“Your Majesty, everything went exactly as expected. Ulo Sowo had occupied the Hall of Brotherhood and killed Nogo Sosro. Now, Joko Tingkir and his army are entangled in a war against Ulo Sowo, to avenge the death of Nogo Sosro.” Latansa quickly summed up the situation.
Heru Cokro breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Nogo Sosro had died, "Good, this battle is like a battle of crabs and shrimp which were then captured by fishermen. Let's go!" This time, the infantry and cavalry troops exchanged positions.
When the Javanese military of Dwipa reached the Hall of Brotherhood, all the bandits were shocked, as none of them saw him coming. Ulo Sowo, realizing the situation was getting worse, he resolutely shouted, "Brother, the enemy has been bothering us, let's stop and defend ourselves together!"
The bandits, covered in blood and excited by Ulo Sowo's words, shouted fearlessly. Only Joko Tingkir himself was surprised and suspicious. He did not expect that the Javanese forces of Dwipa had been waiting outside the fort. It seems, whatever happened today has been under the control and control of the Javanese ruler Dwipa.
Heru Cokro said with a sneer, "Give up, you will be safe. But if you fight, you can only die!"
“Puih! Brother, follow me, let's fight to the last drop of blood!” Ulo Sowo shouted a war cry and charged forward.
Seeing that war was inevitable, Heru Cokro's blood boiled full of excitement, he also shouted out a war cry, "Strike!"
Captain Wirama led his cavalry platoon, following in Heru Cokro's footsteps and shouting: "Protect His Majesty!"
From the moment Ulo Sowo decided to fight back, the result was already decided. After all, they were water bandits, land warfare was not their main battlefield, besides they had been exhausted from the previous battle. While the military of Java Dwipa is ready, energetic and is a ground army, how can these bandits match the military of Java Dwipa?
Heru Cokro and Wirama fought on the front lines, serving as spearheads, while the entire cavalry platoon behind him fought like sharp blades, piercing through and splitting the bandits into two halves. Then behind the cavalry's back was a platoon of shield and sword infantry, reaping the bandits like peasants who harvested his crops.
The bandit formation shattered into pieces, then fear immediately engulfed all of them. Heru Cokro seized the opportunity and shouted again, "Rench and you will live, fight and you die!"
"Give up and you'll live, fight and you die!" His team repeated the words Heru Cokro.
“Klang!” Finally, one could not resist the pressure, threw his weapon on the ground and gave up. It's like COVID-19 disease that can be quickly and easily transmitted, once the first one gives up, the rest can only follow.
As for commander Ulo Sowo, he had been shot dead with General Giri's Kalamunyeng bow. Nogo Sosro is dead, and now that Ulo Sowo is dead at his hands, General Giri considers himself to have quite completed the secret mission given by Heru Cokro.
“Haha~ha~haaha, I have now entered the rank of officer of Waha~haha, I officially became letda” An inappropriate laugh was heard from the cavalry platoon.
Heru Cokro turned his head, only to see the laughing Dudung, with Andika who was beside him, staring with jealousy. Who would have thought that Dudung managed to raise his rank level faster than Andika, reaching letda and entering the rank of officer first.
Heru Cokro called the two, saying with a laugh, “Good, there is finally a result. Dudung, congratulations!”
"Yes!"
“With this, I appoint you as captain or infantry major. However, you can officially become a captain after making a class change or a profession change.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty! I won't let you down!"
“Andika!”
"Yes!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty! I won't let you down!"
Wirama stood to the side, smiled wryly and asked: "Your Majesty, you have just taken the two best sergeants from the cavalry platoon, what should I do now."
"What to do? Just sleep and pray!” After a little joking. Heru Cokro sincerely said, “There is a need to focus on the next generation, so as to grow more new talents and promote them appropriately into the right position.”
"Understood!"
After a small interlude, Heru Cokro arranges a purge of the rest of the battle, "Agus Bhakti!"
"Ready Your Majesty!"
"Lead the team, and bring the non-soldier bandits to the front square of the Brotherhood Hall."
"Ready Your Majesty!" Agus Bhakti went along with a platoon of one cavalry.
"Great Fadjari!"
"Here, Your Majesty!"
"Lead your platoon to stay alert and watch over the captives."
"Ready, do it Your Majesty!"
"Ladder!"
"Ready Your Majesty!"
“Bring your men from the second infantry platoon to close the food warehouse, armory and main gate of the fort. Exterminate anyone who comes close.”
"Okay, Your Majesty!" Dudung then led a second platoon of infantry towards the food warehouse, armory, and main gate.
“Andika!”
"Your Majesty!"
“Lead the first infantry platoon to guard and supervise the captives, lest there be any mistake!”
"Your Majesty!"
After Heru Cokro finished giving his orders, then he had time to visit Joko Tingkir, "I have long heard about the abilities and talents of Admiral Joko Tingkir. I'm so glad to see you in person."
Joko Tingkir held his gloomy face and said in a deep voice, "Losing general, how can you accept praise."
“Huh! The defeat of this battle is not your fault, you do not need to blame yourself. Ulo Sowo is now dead, you have avenged your savior, and paid off your debt. You yourself have done everything you can. A gentleman like you should serve the battlefield, unworthy of spending the rest of your life in this small fortress. I look forward to recruiting you as a Javanese naval leader Dwipa, with the title of general. I hope you will consider and accept my offer.” Heru Cokro bowed deeply as he finished his sincere speech.
Joko Tingkir was moved, he quickly slid to the side avoiding the huddle of Heru Cokro's reverence. Then he knelt down with one knee on the ground, and exclaimed happily, "Your Majesty is very kind, I will swear allegiance to you!"
