After being locked up for a whole day, the territory's protective forces had experienced some difficulties and were extremely dirty. They don't look like members of Dwipa's Javanese army. They all felt embarrassed when they saw Heru Cokro.
Andika led the squad and knelt down. "I made a mistake, ruined the name of Jawa Dwipa, Your Majesty please punish me!"
The other members of the territory's protective squad echoed, "Your Majesty, our laws!"
For the protective squad of this region, Heru Cokro did not have anything good to say, coldly saying, “Wake up, you still feel like you haven't lost enough face yet? I'll deal with you all later.”
"Yes!" Under Andika's leadership, they all retreated from the mountain fortress and gathered with the infantry company outside.
As the day was approaching noon, Heru Cokro accepted Joseph Anshori's invitation to stay for lunch. Compared to Java Dwipa, the food here is definitely incomparable. But eating smoked meats, pickled vegetables, and a variety of wild animals has a different taste.
After lunch, the selection of 200 soldiers had also been completed. Pendil Wesi led them and marched on the mountain fortress square. Since they knew that these soldiers would go far away, all their family members came out to send them. Regardless of who was sent or who was not sent, everyone had a sad expression on their faces. The leader said that the members of the soldier's family would get food priority and for them, nothing was more important than food.
"Your Majesty, Pendil Wesi has gathered 200 soldiers, please look!" Looking at Heru Cokro, Pendil Wesi said loudly.
Heru Cokro nodded his head, instantly having a good impression of this little mountain barbarian. “Pendil Wesi, I promise I won't let you guys down.”
Before leaving, leader Joseph Anshori took out a wooden box and ran, "The great shaman cannot send you all because of his health, so he ordered me to bring this to His Majesty."
“Thank you for the gift, hope there is another chance for me to see it.” Heru Cokro laughed and said as he received the box.
"Okay, I'll tell him what you said."
"Good bye!" Heru Cokro wasted no more time and said goodbye to the leader before leaving. After meeting with the company gathered outside the mountain fortress, he ordered everyone to immediately return to Java Dwipa.
At 4 p.m., they returned to Kebonagung. When Pusponegoro saw them back just fine, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Heru Cokro's first act upon his return was to announce the punishment of the territory's protective squad. Andika was sentenced to half a year, 3 months sergeant, and all 1 month soldiers.
“As they say. Every mistake is an opportunity to learn. Hopefully you will learn your mistakes and train hard to increase strength and protect Kebonagung well.”
"We will not disappoint you!" After this failure, the territory's protective forces were increasingly motivated to prove themselves.
Heru Cokro has no plans for them to rest and orders Andika to search for the robbers around the territory. If they find him, they must not hold back. However, if they find a giant robber camp, they must ask for help from Jawa Dwipa.
At first, Andika thought she would be fired and did not expect that Heru Cokro would just let go. He still trusted her very much and that made her very grateful.
Resolving the problem with the territory's protective squads, Heru Cokro spent 100 gold in the middle market in Kebonagung and bought 10,000 paddy. Under their agreement, the Gosari Tribe would send people to retrieve it.
Seeing that Heru Cokro kept his promise, Pendil Wesi and the others became more relaxed. This grain will help solve the problem of tribes and their families no longer need to fear hunger.
After that, Heru Cokro brought his troops back to Java Dwipa. Before leaving, he left Pusponegoro with 50 gold coins to be used to change the profession of the territory's protective squad.
Kawis Guwa has brought all the officials waiting for Heru Cokro. After meeting, he laughed and said, “Two days Your Majesty has left, the region feels like it lost its spine. You are finally back.”
“Haha, with you guarding, I don't need to worry.” On the way home, Heru Cokro informed the three directors of his deal with the Gosari Tribe.
After that he said to Witana Sideng Rana, “About a valuable rice agreement, I need a director to handle it. We need to send some miners to their tribe. In this aspect, we are a little more professional!”
Witana Sideng Rana nodded her head, "Don't worry Your Majesty, I'll settle this!"
After the class change, Heru Cokro only had 100 gold coins left, becoming a pauper once again. He took the opportunity to hold a meeting with all those who held the rank of lieutenant to the top. “First of all I will announce some personnel changes. Pendil Wesi will be the vice-captain of the 2nd platoon, and Mahesa Boma will be the vice-captain of the 3rd platoon of infantry.
Pendil Wesi and Mahesa Boma stepped out and shouted, "Thank you Your Majesty, we won't let you down."
As the representative of the mountain barbarians, the promotion of Pendil Wesi was still in line with expectations. However, Mahesa Boma who was promoted to sergeant when she entered, now after a few days was promoted to vice-captain. This was not because Heru Cokro was biased but as a disciple of Wiro, he did possess that ability.
Heru Cokro could also imagine that once Mahesa Boma became a base-ranking officer, he would be stronger than Dudung. Mahesa Boma has obtained the original Eight Fists of Wiro Sableng. Obviously, martial arts is only a small part of being a leader, but it must be admitted that it adds extra points.
"The other two platoon sergeants will be recommended by the captain and approved by General Giri." With regards to the sergeant, Heru Cokro was not bothered by him. The last time when he arranged 5 of Wiro's disciples to the infantry was a special situation.
"We understand!"
"Bragglut!"
"Ready, Sire!"
"You will be promoted to commander of a platoon of 1 infantry!" A 25-year-old Humam who performed superbly in the battle of the water fort. This is considered a late gift.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I won't let you down."
After finishing the infantry, Heru Cokro would deal with the cavalry.
"Augus Bhakti!"
"Ready, Sire!"
“I order you to form a second cavalry platoon. When the funds are sufficient, immediately change your class.”
"Yes, Sire!"
As one of the earliest sergeants, Agus Bhakti's ability was beyond doubt, and asking him to build a second cavalry platoon was the same as appointing him as platoon commander.
"Great Fadjari!"
" Ready, Your Majesty!"
"You are the vice-captain of the first cavalry company and the commander of the first platoon!" As a second generation sergeant similar to Agus Subiyanto, the promotion of Agus Fadjari is still in line with expectations.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I won't let you down."
"Gentala!"
"Ready Master!"
"You are the second platoon commander of the first company!" Gentala is similar to Humam, and performs well in water fort battles.
The six people promoted were all elite soldiers who did not switch classes. They need to transform the class into a basic ranking officer, which will overcome the general shortcomings of the current Jawa Dwipa.
