The eyes of Raden Said and Aria Dikara sparkled. They were infected by what Heru Cokro described, their expressions looking shaken. If that was true, then it would definitely be better than living in such an old and seedy camp.
As a general, Eyang Cakrajaya was unmoved and said loudly, “This general wants to ask you something!”
"Please speak, general!" Heru Cokro smiled and said. He knows that Raden Said acts as a good cop and Aria Dikara and Eyang Cakrajaya act as bad cops. So the questions he didn't want to ask would be asked by both of them.
“If we join Jawa Dwipa, how will the lord handle our troops?” Eyang Cakrajaya immediately asked a sensitive question about the military setting.
“How is your current military situation?” Heru Cokro did not rush to answer and instead asked.
Eyang Cakrajaya nodded as he felt the sincerity behind Heru Cokro's words. If Heru Cokro did not ask and give an answer, he would not believe it. “This camp has a squad of 150 people. Because we lack horses, our soldiers are infantry. But they were all trained in archery and horseback riding so as long as they got war horses, they would become cavalry naturally.”
As for the troops he trained, Eyeang Cakrajaya was very confident in them. Wirama, who was sitting before him sneered, clearly did not believe his words.
Heru Cokro nodded. “Your unit, I naturally trust you. How about this? I'll give you a company of cavalry, while the remaining 50 will be reservists. When the time comes, they will be transformed as well into warriors, what do you think?”
The reserve army was only Heru Cokro's best effort to prevent a bad situation. Because Java Dwipa does not have a reserve army. Eyang Cakrajaya himself knew that another answer from Heru Cokro was to let 150 people become one company, kicking the remaining ones.
Considering the injured and those whose body condition was declining due to lack of nutrients, they could only meet 100. Therefore, Eyang Cakrajaya did not try to ask for more and instead accepted it secretly.
After Heru Cokro answered the questions of the two men, he turned to Raden Said to wait for his opinion.
Raden Said and Eyang Cakrajaya exchanged glances and smiled. “Paduka is very sincere and kind, we struggle to stay warm and full in the wild, fighting for our lives every day. To get your Majesty's help is our good fortune. I thank His Majesty on behalf of the 1500 residents in the camp for his helping hand.”
“Great, with all your help, as if we were adding wings to a tiger.” Heru Cokro laughed.
After the two of them came to an agreement, Heru Cokro took the opportunity to take a look at all three of their stats.

[Status]: Residents of Java Dwipa
[Profession]: Strategist
[Loyalty]: 75

[Politics]: 70
[Privilege]: Strategy designer (increase troop combat strength by 15%)\, Tactician (increase troop mobility by 20%)
[Evaluation]: Born as a very intelligent scholar and able to make surprising strategies\, as well as very loyal.
As expected, Raden Said was a typical strategist, and he was a man leaning towards the military, thus giving him two very strong buffs.

[Strength]: 22
[Intelligence]: 50
[Politics]: 60

Aria Dikara was certainly a pleasant surprise. Not only was he a group V talent, but he also had a lot of experience.
[Name]: Eyang Cakrajaya (group V)
[Status]: Residents of Java Dwipa
[Profession]: Brigadier

[Strength]: 45
[Intelligence]: 30
[Politics]: 30

Eyang Cakrajaya does not seem simple. The horse spear was the strongest armor-piercing weapon that was extremely difficult to learn. To perfect it, it takes a lot of training.
The three of them were talents that Java Dwipa did not have, making Heru Cokro very happy. The migration of the refugees will require a lot of work, but these things are certainly the duty of Raden Said.
The day was late, so Heru Cokro did not live any further in the refugee camp. He left Ghozi there to coordinate, and brought the rest of the cavalry back to Java Dwipa.
The addition of 1,500 people is something that needs to be prepared by Jawa Dwipa. Luckily Jawa Dwipa is not like before. Now the Bureau of Materials Reserves has enough resources to build a house for all these people. Thus, Heru Cokro also planned to send 400 of them to Kebonagung to help him reach the hamlet.
The next day, the refugees began to migrate to Java Dwipa, walking slowly forward. Heru Cokro specifically set up the first cavalry company to protect their safety.
At 11am, Heru Cokro led various officials to Java Dwipa and waited for Raden Said at the city gate.
As the main gate of Java Dwipa, the north gate opens to show the brick tower, looks majestic and filled with many lifestyle facilities. In addition to water and food sources, it also stores hot oil, logs, etc. In large numbers, including war resources. On top of the tower was a squad of infantry and two archers.
In front of the tower there are many Javanese Dwipa flags embedded in it. The flag was designed by Heru Cokro, who has a black background with ornaments of seeds, plants and the sun in gold and white that look holy, ancient, soothing and majestic.
The outer form consists of six seeds, a plant stalk and a golden-colored sun that moves to the left, counterclockwise. On each stalk there are eight white leaves that symbolize the fruit of purity. While in the middle there are leaves, as a symbol of eight winds with seeds in the center of gold, symbolizing majesty. Overall, the ornament of living things moves towards the center, like a black hole that sucks all living entities.
The entrance below the tower is 6 meters wide, and above it is engraved with the inscription "Jawa Dwipa". The two large wooden doors were wrapped in a thick layer of metal, and metal spikes were hammered into them. On each side there is also a secondary hallway with a width of 4 meters and a height of 5 meters. Under normal circumstances, the main door is usually closed and visitors will use the secondary door.
Not far from the secondary door were two trenches. The trench has two levels, the top has 6 arrow holes and the bottom has 5 holes. Each arrow hole area has a curved top that can be opened and closed. The moat also has a tunnel with 3 arrow holes in it facing the Bengawan Solo River. It helps them kill the person who attacked. The trenches were mixed into one into the walls of the territory, ensuring the safety of the soldiers hiding within.
