The Metaverse World
The Pamuksa War Part 6
The valley was like a pouch, the outside was small and the inside was wide and broad. The opening of the narrow valley made it unable to deploy troops. Therefore, even though the Prabu Pandu Dewanata camp had many troops, they had no choice but to launch a bumpy attack.
In order to buy enough time for the fleeing troops, Prabu Temboko organized all of his troops at the opening, and did not leave the route to retreat. At the same time, in order to raise the morale of the troops, Prabu Temboko personally led his army.
Therefore, the battle that originally took place in the wilderness was now a battle to raid fortified positions.
Prabu Pandu camp still has the absolute advantage of numbers and uses a strategy where they send soldiers in groups. Arya Biawa divided the army into 8 groups and in addition to one group of ten thousand people to act as reserves, the remaining 7 launched a group attack. When 10 thousand were tired, another ten thousand troops replaced. So, when the squads finish the break, they will go back up and this cycle will keep repeating.
While on the opposite side, Prabu Temboko soldiers were not so lucky and had to follow a long battle. However, that does not mean they have no advantage. Their soldiers had a win or die mentality. Second, be it weapons or morals, Prabu Temboko's soldiers are stronger than the invading forces. With that, the Prabu Temboko warriors actually managed to survive quite stubbornly.
Feeling unable to get through, Prabu Pandu began to worry. Because even if they managed to destroy them in the end, his army would also suffer a lot of casualties and that was not what Prabu Pandu wanted to see.
Then he looked around and said seriously, “With the current situation, does anyone have a good plan?”
Heru Cokro bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the player army wants to fight!"
Prabu Pandu's eyes freeze, “Jendra, war is not a game. Do you have confidence?”
“As long as Your Majesty promises me two things, I promise to destroy the warrior Prabu Temboko in one strike. Of course, if I fail, I am willing to accept any punishment.” Heru Cokro wastes no time.
Prabu Pandu flinched, finally regaining confidence and said loudly, “OK, say your terms. As long as I can do it, I will do it.”
Heru Cokro nodded and said, “Your Majesty, as you know! The strength of our players is not under one command and therefore difficult to command. Therefore, my first wish is for His Majesty to provide a battle quest to let all players surrender their troops in my control.”
"Okay, it's done." Prabu Pandu did not hesitate.
The moment he heard it, Heru Cokro's ear heard the system notification ringing.
”Notice of Battle: Prabu Pandu has given the mission [Last Battle].”
“Mission requirements: The Prabu Pandu Dewanata Fort players must agree to surrender their troops to Jendra representatives. Mission rewards: 2 achievement points per soldier, and 4 battle contribution points per soldier submitted.”
Using the lowest number of 100 people, they would earn a mission reward of 200 achievement points and 400 battle contribution points. Moreover, the troops they killed would be recorded under their respective rulers. This kind of temptation is not something that any player can resist. Even Roberto could not bear to leave the reward and gritted his teeth to accept the quest.
Hearing his terms, Prabu Pandu became more confident with his plan and nodded, “Good, it seems like you are not doing this just out of impulse. I agree to it."
"Thank you for your trust." Heru Cokro knew that if he won this battle, it would ensure his absolute superiority.
Heru Cokro turned towards the player's army and gathered Hesty Purwadinata as well as other players to give orders.
“In this battle it will be difficult to use cavalry, therefore, we will use sword shield warriors and archers. Thus, I suggested that General Giri would be the main general and Gayatri Rajapatni would be the deputy general. What do you think of all?”
Hesty Purwadinata and the others were getting more confident and very trusting of him, of course they listened to him.
After gaining the approval of his allies, Heru Cokro began to organize an army to ensure that the generals had absolute control. Therefore, not only would Heru Cokro not participate personally, other players who were generals would also not participate.
Fortunately the remaining troops were allies of Java Dwipa. The Hartono Alliance of Brother Roberto only had 500 people. As for the other players, they only have 200 left.The other 3300 players are Jawa Dwipa and his alliance.
Of the 3300 people, the core of the Java Dwipa Alliance had 1600 people left. The strength of the player had lost over half as casualties and the Java Dwipa Alliance had only lost a fifth, it was extremely rare and difficult. The 400 killed were mostly sword shield warriors and cavalry, the most of whom were sword shields and cavalrymen, the archers were barely injured.
In the last count, there were 4000 men, 2000 of whom were sword shield warriors, 1500 archers and 500 cavalry. The cavalry, after 2 attacks had secretly lost the most. In this battle, they were instantly eliminated.
After the player squad was rearranged, Arya Banduwangka and Arya Biawa had chosen their team and both led 2,500 troops. Under the recommendation of Ki Ageng Archery, 2000 sword shield warriors should be at the front and directly against Prabu Temboko. While 1500 archers will be the backup and provide protection shots. Finally, Arya Banduwangka's forces will be on the right wing and Arya Biawa on the left.
After the arrangements were finalized, they waited for the 10,000-man army to retreat. Heru Cokro would not give them time to rest and this final trump card went straight up the stage.
Before leaving, Heru Cokro spoke to General Giri alone and had a detailed conversation. As for the content of the conversation, even Hesty Purwadinata and the others did not know.
The final battle finally came.
The drained Taboko Warrior Warrior, looking at the sword shield warrior in front, was startled. A well-equipped sword shield warrior makes a difference in strength and morale. Especially the front battalion, this time, Heru Cokro had sacrificed his own troops and placed 3 companies of Javanese Dwipa infantry in front. The elite barbarian warriors against the royal warriors, certainly not the least.
As for Prabu Temboko himself, he was intercepted by General Giri. This can be called a trump card battle.
Looking at the formation of Heru Cokro's army, the other players had no right to say anything derogatory. Heru Cokro knew that in order to win the respect of the other players, one had to discard oneself at the crucial moment and make some sacrifices.
