Division of Army Command
Seeing this kind of spectacle, Heru Cokro naturally did not dare to go too far.
He ordered Wirama to lead a cavalry company with spies from the Military Intelligence Division to search for suitable campgrounds near Hatinapura.
In ancient wars and battles, the place of setting up camp was done with a lot of knowledge and research, it could not be done carelessly. Then a good army camp will seek out the highlands and avoid low areas, seek out places with lots of sunlight and avoid dark and humid areas. They will go to places where there is water and trees in order to get supplies. Because if their soldiers are healthy and don't get sick, they will win all wars. At least not lose, before fighting.
In addition, they should also avoid crossing forests or rivers. Considering that the Prabu Temboko camp attacked from the southeast to the northwest, the best position was west of Hatinapura. Because he could dodge the cannon fodder in the confrontation in advance and could act as a wing and quickly enter the battlefield.
An hour later, Wirama and his group returned.
Wirama quickly got down from his barong and said, “Reporting to His Majesty, we found a mountain slope to the west of Hatinapura. The south side of the slope of about 5 kilometers has a large river. It was very close to the slope and easy to get water. I think it's a great place to set up camp.”
Heru Cokro nodded his head happily and smiled, "Good, everyone, come out!"
The troops started to get busy after they rushed to the camp.
First, they had to burn and mow all the annoying weeds to create a large enough empty space. Second, they had to go to a nearby forest to cut down some trees to get wood to build a camp.
To ensure the safety of the camp, around it there should be a small wooden wall. The trick is to cut two rows of tree trunks, one long and one short, and after the trunk is burned, it is buried in half into the ground. A long tree trunk will be the outer layer and a short one will be the inner layer.
Then between the two will be installed wooden boards divided into two layers so that the protruding part can be a defensive wall. The upper layer could let the troops patrol and act as guards. While the bottom layer can be a place of rest and storage.
As they set up the tent, the tent would accommodate 50 soldiers, their tent would be set up facing each other and surround the tent, the water channel would have to be dug. Soldiers were forbidden to leave and run to another tent. Each tent area has its own public toilet away from food and water sources. Among the various areas of the tent, there was also sufficient wiggle room.
By midday, the camp was finally cleared. While everyone was busy cutting down trees and digging ditches, Heru Cokro asked Mahesa Boma to bring a company of infantry to follow by his side.
In the camp, Heru Cokro took out the main tent he had bought and installed it with the soldiers. It will act as a meeting room for everyone to discuss as it is inappropriate to talk and discuss in just any place.
Compared to ordinary army tents, this tent was 5 times larger and like the tooth tent that the wanderers used, he could accommodate 20 to 30 people inside.
After building the tent, Heru Cokro took out a table and bench made by a wooden workshop.
Seeing Heru Cokro take things out of her storage bag like magic, Maya Estianti who followed her with curiosity like a baby opened her eyes wide and asked, "Sir Jendra, you know, how's your storage bag so big?"
Heru Cokro explained, “My storage bag has increased to 1,000 cubic meters, of course large.” Heru Cokro did not want to discuss further and said, "Since the tent is already set up, quickly get everyone here to discuss what to do next."
*******
Inside the main tent, Heru Cokro sits in the middle, on either side sits Maria Bhakti, Hesty Purwadinata, Maya Estianti and Genkpocker. Behind them sat their various assistants and generals.
“Now we have calmed down, for our next step, what advice do you all have?” Heru Cokro asked.
Maria Bhakti is smart and knows that since she is the only one who is not from the Java Dwipa Alliance, and that they may have discussed the matter, Jendra actually just asked her.
Maria Bhakti laughs, “Whatever plan Mr. Jendra has why not say it directly. Since Indonet Village joined your camp, I will follow your instructions.”
Heru Cokro nodded, "In that case, I won't make any more pleasantries!"
"Ha~ha~ha!" Maya Estianti suddenly laughed, making everyone look at her with a judgmental look. She shyly said, “I feel interested, seeing the two of them speaking politely.”
Maria Bhakti noticed it and laughingly said, “That's right, why don't we get rid of the formalities. My name is Maria, Brother Jendra can treat me as one of you.”
Heru Cokro nodded and continued, “In order to be comfortable, my goal is for our five powers to join forces and be under one command. In particular, separate cavalry troops, sword shield warriors, and archers. Of the three, I suggested that Gajayana be the leader of the cavalry, Wirama and Aril Tatum as his representatives. General Giri will lead the sword shield warriors with Genkpocker and Mahesa Boma as his representatives. Gayatri Rajapatni will lead the archer with Dudung and Purnawarman as his deputy. Meanwhile, Ki Ageng Archery will be a military advisor, Chelsea Islan and Sharini Lobia will be his deputies.”
The Heru Cokro arrangement has protected and considered every stronghold. It not only protects the position of Java Dwipa as the core but also considers its allies. Of course, the first consideration was based on his talent and ability.
For the cavalry, especially the troops from Java Dwipa and Redho Village, one leader and two representatives ensured a smooth command arrangement.
The sword shield warrior, General Giri had absolute power and Genkpocker's position was also considered, making him a representative and letting him lead a battalion.
The latter were archers and crossbowmen. Originally Java Dwipa had 500 and was the absolute core, but Heru Cokro decided to give leadership to Gayatri Rajapatni. This arrangement showed his great confidence as he was clearly better than Dudung in being his leader. Because 200 other pesky archers and archers came from the village of Indonet, Heru Cokro arranged Purnawarman as a representative.
This was also why Heru Cokro hesitated, only until he declared his loyalty did he say his plan and strategy.
After listening to her organization's plans, Maria Bhakti felt that she had an additional layer of understanding of Heru Cokro. He smiled and said, "Kak Jendra's arrangements are very good, your sister has no doubts."
Heru Cokro nodded and said, “Since everyone has no doubts and there is nothing to say, we will divide the tent area based on different powers. As for the special arrangement, I will hand it over to General Giri and General Gajayana. Is that okay?"
General Giri and General Gajayana soon woke up. “Each Your Majesty, we will not disappoint you!”
