The Great Throes Among Nomadic Tribes Part 1
100 Barongs were moved by the Transport Division to horse-breeding fields in the Seng Valley, while 304 barongs and thousands of sheep were kept in the Dwipa Javanese meadow on the west side of the village. The meadow, after several improvements, now occupies an area of up to 50 square kilometers. The meadow is divided into several areas for cows, sheep, and now horses. For the sake of comfort, the meadow was named Kulon Grassland by Heru Cokro.
About the operation of Dawn, because everything about the operation was done secretly, it did not cause a chain reaction among the people in Java Dwipa. Everything is going as usual for this reason. However, this massacre caused a great uproar among other nomadic tribes.
Lake Banyuwangi, Tent of War Commander of the Pangkah Tribe.
“Sher, the scouts brought news about the Setro Tribe located in the southwest. The tribe was burned to ashes in one night, and no one survived. All of their 800 people were slaughtered.” said a muscular and bearded middle-aged man. He was the first member of the 3 generals in the Pangkah Tribe known as the Grassland Lion, Baswara.
The Pangkah tribe has 30,000 tribes with 12,000 of them are soldiers. Among those 12,000 soldiers, 2,000 were elites and they were Sher's elite guards. They were placed under the leadership of the second member of the 3 generals in the tribe, as well as one of Sher's most trusted generals, known as the Grassland Wolf, Taraksa.
The remaining 10,000 soldiers were separated into 2 divisions, namely the eastern division and the western division, each consisting of 5,000 soldiers. They were responsible for the defense of the eastern and western parts of the tribe. The eastern division was placed under the command of Baswara, while the western division was placed under the command of the last member of the 3 tribal generals, known as the Black Tiger of the Grasslands, Tipukhris.
The tribes exterminated by Java Dwipa were under the jurisdiction of the western division. Therefore, as soon as Baswara received the news that the Setro Tribe was exterminated, he immediately reported it to Sher, Sajana, as soon as possible.
Sajana is a man who reaches his fifties, and is considered to be a man of the old age group in the savannah. His former handsome face was now full of wrinkles, and his thick, curly hair was whitening. All these things show that this man is really old now. Despite all this, no one dared to disrespect Sajana. This was because not only because of his majestic aura, but also the deepest respect in their hearts.
Sajana inherited her father's position and took over the sceptre and crown which was passed down to her when she was 14 years old. When she takes over her father's position, a powerful follower named Balusher takes advantage of Sajana's young age and treats her as a puppet. The tyrant uses the name Sajana to rule the entire tribe.
Sajana showed no signs of dissatisfaction, and she pretended to know nothing about all of this. Not only that, he also pretended to love Balusher very much at that time. However, unbeknownst to Balusher, he secretly assembled his own army and cultivated his own generals. After two years, when Sajana felt the time had come, he killed Balusher with a deadly blow while he was drunk and sleeping in his tent. After killing him, Sajana boldly commanded his generals and cleansed the entire tribe with the blood of the Balusher faction, thus allowing himself to regain control of the tribe again.
Over the next 30 years, Sajana's reign became increasingly experienced and bloody. In his time, the Sajana were referred to as "bloody butchers" and more than 5 tribes were destroyed. Until now, other small tribes still live under his shadow. The name Sajana was so feared among the tribes, that they did not even dare to voice the slightest dissatisfaction about Sajana at all.
When Sajana first took over the position of Sher, the tribe was only a medium-sized tribe and consisted of only 4 to 5 thousand people. Under his rule, the tribe became bigger and stronger. Apart from barricades of their powerful enemies, the Pangkah Tribe managed to defeat all of them and eventually became the strongest tribe in the savannah. They were so strong that all the other tribes respected him as Sher savanna.
With that said, the old Sher throne that looked like it was about to die was actually made with the blood of its enemies. Baswara was still a newborn when Sajana inherited Sher's position. He grew up hearing all sorts of stories about Sajana. Therefore, even after Baswara became a strong person like him now, this savannah lion, he did not dare to show the slightest disrespect.
At this moment, old Sher sat upright on his throne, showing no signs of exhaustion. After hearing Baswara's report, he opened his slightly murky eyes and said in a hoarse voice, “Suku Setro? If I remember correctly, they just bought 100 barongs from us not long ago?”
Suddenly, Baswara was struck by thoughts about the incident and said, “Ya Sher, do you mean that the Setro Tribe was eliminated because of this barong? Someone became greedy towards this barong, so they annihilated the Setro Tribe for that sake?”
“Uhuk, uhuk! Baswara, when you see a problem, you have to look at the root of the problem to solve it. The Setro tribe is one of the smallest tribes in the savanna. They had no precious treasures nor did they have areas rich in lush greenery in the savannas. If that's the case, what else is worth coveting?” Sajana coughed and said.
“Sher, you are indeed the wisest person in our tribe." Baswara said respectfully.
"Are there any clues or traces of the remains of the Setro Tribe?" ask Sajana.
Baswara shook his head and said, “There is nothing left but ashes. The barongs they bought from us, and their own horses and sheep were all gone. Judging from the heat of the remnants of the tribe, the attack occurred around 7 am this morning. All enemies are cavalry, for there are no other foot steps than the foot steps of a horse. In addition, this might be a planned attack. Most of the tribe's remains were found in the burning tents. This means most of them were killed in the fire during their sleep.”
Baswara is definitely an experienced fighter. Just by looking at the remains, he was still able to figure out what was happening. This guy is definitely not as stupid as he looks. Fortunately, Heru Cokro did not try to disguise the battlefield. Otherwise, his flaws would have been known to Baswara by now.
