Seng Tribe
Now that the shipyard was upgraded, they immediately started to build Jung Jawa warships. Until now, there have been 2 units of Jung Java warships sent to Navy units, and the average shipyard can send 1 unit of warships per week. The unit capacity of the Jung Jawa warship is a naval company. Therefore, 3 more warships are needed to meet the needs of all naval units.
In addition, the three affiliated territories have also delivered good news. The Pantura region is now officially a base village with a maximum population of 5,000 residents. For this, Heru Cokro has spent 1,000 gold on the blueprint for the construction of an advanced port, and has ordered the start of the Pantura Port project. Since it was a massive construction project, even with Pantura Village working totality, it still took at least a month.
The port is like a dock and a ship terminal. They are all classified as special buildings. The blueprint of basic port construction is priced at 10 gold, then the price of the advanced port will be 1,000 gold.
In order for Kebonagung to be upgraded to a base village, it will still take another half month.
The good thing is that the wild white tea plantation on Mount Kowang was converted into a 5,000 hectare tea plantation on behalf of Kebonagung Hamlet. Between late March and early April is the time to harvest white tea. So Pusponegoro had ordered the tea farmers to harvest it, and they were now almost finished with the harvest.
It is not at all surprising when white tea is recognized as a region-specific local product by the system. Since Heru Cokro has left the tea plantations under Kebonagung jurisdiction, any profits earned from selling white tea through the grocery store will naturally be accredited to Kebonagung Hamlet. This, in turn, will be able to stimulate and accelerate the economy of Kebonagung.
Pusponegoro proved himself to be a reasonable man, as he only secured a few white tea trees of the highest quality, and labeled the tea as tribute tea. Tribute tea is the best of the rest. They are not available for sale and will only be specifically given as a tribute to the residence of the ruler, specifically addressed to Heru Cokro.
Turning to the newest affiliate hamlet, Batih Ageng, all the necessary infrastructure has been built. Now the focus is on building the trench, but because the project is large, there is still a long time before it is completed. Until now, Batih Ageng still can not be independent, and constantly need support and funds from the main region.

On April 15, the White Wolf Mine Farm sent out the important news, that the Seng Tribe had ambushed the mining site. They destroyed several facilities and engaged in battle with garrison teams. The clashes ended with a number of wounded, and the fatalities of more than 40 people.
Two o'clock in the afternoon, the discussion hall of Jawa Dwipa.
Heru Cokro called the Bureau of Military Affairs and 3 other bureaus to hold an emergency meeting. He looked around the room, solemnly saying, “I'm sure the news has reached all of you. The White Wolf Mine field has been attacked. This is definitely a provocation for Jawa Dwipa. So, I as the ruler will clean this stain with their blood.”
“Paduka, please give the order. We will stab them right in their heart and raid their tribal camp!” General Giri was the first to propose war.
“That's right, Sire! The village defense unit will act as the vanguard!” Next hood.
Only Major Wirama said in a reluctant tone, "Paduka, the cavalry unit will be your spear!"
Heru Cokro shook his head and answered Wirama. “This time, the expedition will be near the mountain and deep in the forest. The terrain was unfavorable for the cavalry. Stay to protect and protect the territory. The cavalry unit will take over the duties of the village defense unit. We have annihilated the robbers and bandits. So that the hatred between them and us can only be erased with the last drop of blood, be it their blood or our blood. I do not want the territory to be plundered and seized by this scourge. Major Wirama, the big responsibility is on you, please don't let your guard down.”
Heru Cokro ignores the two war hawks, General Giri and Major Wirama. Instead, he turned to the Military Intelligence Division and said, "Does the Military Intelligence Division have any information on the Seng Tribe?"
Ghozi stood up and replied. "Yes, Your Majesty, ever since they refused to cooperate with us, the Military Intelligence Division has begun to gather information regarding the Seng Tribe."
"All right, we're all listening!" Heru Cokro praised the division for their performance.
Ghozi started his report. “The savage tribes are spread throughout the region which is divided into two, namely the northern and southern tribes. Each tribe is led by a tribal leader of 10,000 people. While the ones we have encountered so far are all southern tribes."
“Southern tribe consists of 40 tribes. They were slightly weaker than the northern tribes. The leader tribe is the Panceng tribe followed by four large tribes of 5,000-10,000, ten medium-sized tribes of 3,000-5,000, and 25 tribes of less than 3,000. Therefore, as one of the 4 great tribes, it is only natural that the Seng Tribe would not listen to the Gosari Tribe.
“Suku Seng has about 5,400 people, using strong winds as their tribe totems, and Typhoon as their last name. Their leader is called Wahil Typhoon. He became the chieftain not long ago, and was less than 30 years old. The tribe's combat troops were tribal hunters, numbering in the 800s. According to my speculations, they were the ones who hit the White Wolf Mine Farm.”
Heru Cokro was very satisfied with the Military Intelligence Division, as they were able to see the bigger picture, after getting the reason behind the incident in the White Wolf Mine Field. That's really convincing.
“How is the geographical condition of the Seng Tribe, and their tribal defense system?” Raden Said naturally paid more attention to these questions.
Ghozi nodded his head and said, “Suku Seng is located 20 kilometers east of the Gosari Tribe. The location of the tribe is in a terrain that resembles a valley. It has 3 mountain walls, with only an entrance on the west side where the Seng Tribe has built a defensive wall. Therefore, we must drop it to attack that tribe.”
Raden Said immediately frowned. Because of such terrain, it was difficult to attack. Then he asked again. “How high are those mountains? Can we climb it?”
Ghozi shook his head, saying for sure, “That's impossible. Although not as tall as ours, it is still five, six hundred meters tall. In addition, the mountains are filled with bushes and trees, making it difficult to pass, let alone climb.”
“Then, we only have one option left, a direct attack. As long as we tear down the defensive walls, the tribe will be like a turtle in a jar, our stuffed toy.” Heru Cokro suddenly opened his mouth.
Raden Said nodded and asked, "Paduka, in this expedition, who will be involved in it?" Immediately, each division glanced at Heru Cokro anxiously.
Heru Cokro did not disappoint them. He said loudly, “The expedition will be led by the infantry unit and the village defense unit, assisted by the White Wolf Army unit. Garrison troops Kebonagung and Batih Ageng will stay and protect the region.”
Generals Giri and Dudung were filled with great excitement, while only Wirama was disappointed.
