Fatimah sat in the pavilion, took the tea that Anindita had just brewed, sipped it and said calmly, “She can definitely. When did you see your brother fail before?”
Actually, Fatimah was also just as nervous, but as an older sister, she couldn't show it.
“En, but I'm still a little nervous. That stupid brother really banned us out.” On the surface Laxmi grumbled, but deep down she was touched by her actions.
Because if the wall of the region is breached, then Java Dwipa will be raided. For security reasons, Heru Cokro did not give any duty to them to do and let them stay safe in the residence of the ruler.
Heru Cokro had greeted Wiro from the storehouse and let him bring his disciples to stay temporarily in the ruling residence and act as Guards.
At 07:30, Maria Bhakti, Hesty Purwadinata, Habibi, Maya Estianti and Genkpocker appeared on the Java Dwipa teleportation portal.
Heru Cokro was ready and went to greet them. Their visit to Java Dwipa was to witness the defense from the invasion of robbers in order to gain experience that could be used as a perceipan improvement of their own village.
The reason why the five of them could unite was because of Maya Estianti.
He got word that Jawa Dwipa would welcome a robber attack and nagged at the alliance channel that he wanted to join for fun.
After all, she was young, innocent, and cute. So he did not think too much about his words or whether it would cause trouble for Heru Cokro or not. As for Hesty Purwadinata and Maria Bhakti, they would definitely not make such a request.
Heru Cokro admired his straightforward nature, and after a little consideration, he finally agreed to it. Since he allowed Maya Estianti, he also allowed the others to come as well.
Of the five, only Maria Bhakti has never been to Java Dwipa. Because it was now an emergency, so there was no time to take him around.
Leaving the teleportation formation, Heru Cokro led them to the village tower on the west side. General Giri and the deputy general of Dudung in charge of defense, had already arrived there.
The flag of the Javanese ruler Dwipa fluttered in the wind. Six suns glistened and shone under the bright sun. All the members of Jawa Dwipa are united under this flag to defend their territory.
The Flag of Java Dwipa
At 8 a.m., smoke billowed from a distance. This is a sign that the robber is coming.
In Heru Cokro's ear came a system notification.
“System notice: The village attack test of the robber is officially started. The number of robbers who attacked was 6,700. Jendra players, please prepare for battle.”
Heru Cokro cursed in his heart, 6700 people, higher than the Democratic Village of 200 people. How did the system decide this, was it because Java Dwipa had destroyed so many looters camps that they organized so many looters?
The looters army advanced and appeared on the western plains. When they were three kilometers away from the village, they stopped and began to set up camp.
There were a total of 3 leaders who led 6700 robbers. Its main leader was Presentasa, leading 2,000 elites and 3,000 normal robbers who were all infantry. Hadikarya was another leader who led 1000 elite robbers, all of whom were cavalry. While the last is Hadikarsa who led 700 water bandits.
After setting up camp, Hadikarya went to the audience and asked, "Sister, how are we going to fight this fight?"
Present was a middle-aged man, about 38 years old. He looked very quiet, unlike the leader of the robbers. Only the brothers in the robber camp knew how brutal and ferocious this person was.
Present frowned. “You see for yourself that this village is not simple. Not only do they have high walls, but they even dig the protective river of the village.”
Hadikarya. “That's right, I went around and found that we could only attack from the west. As for the other direction, they were extremely difficult. I think the enemy must be very confident and increase his defense here. To drop the village smoothly will be very difficult.”
He shook his head and said. “In the art of war, loss is gain. Since the enemy has such an arrangement, we do not need to think about and focus all of our forces on their west gate. I can't believe that our 6000 brothers can't knock down a stupid gate.”
"Sister is wise!"
"In addition, give the order that in addition to assembling siege weapons, bring some people to the village's protective river to begin building floating bridges" Hadirasa said.
Hadikarya's face was full of questions and inquires. “Sister, I thought you said to focus our troops to attack the west gate? Why do we send people to build floating bridges?”
There was a mysterious laugh. “As soldiers, we must be cunning! Make the fake look real and the real look fake. We did want to focus on attacking the west gate, but we couldn't let them see our original goal. When they see us building bridges, they'll start putting up defenses on the north wall. With that, we can withdraw a portion of their troops.”
Hadikarya put on a respectful face and said, “Sage brother. Okay, I'll spread the command.”
He waved his hand and laughed. "Go."
Outside the tent, the robbers had already started gathering to encircle the weapons they were carrying including stairs, catapults and battering ram.
If Heru Cokro saw all this, he would be shocked. System cheated. How could the robbers have such a special siege weapon.
First, the stairs were not simple wooden stairs. The stairs they assemble have wheels and can be driven. It has shield, crane, hook, etc.
The catapult is a murder weapon in a siege. What the robbers gathered was not a primitive object that required more than 10 people to pull the rope, before they could throw stones. It has its own weight so that when throwing, one only needs to pull one end, load, and then release it. When the charge sinks, the stone will fly forward.
The war began, but the western part of Java Dwipa was still very peaceful. The bandits took their time to prepare and did not rush to attack.
The earliest violence occurred in the Bengawan Solo River.
The third leader Hadikarsa had led 700 water bandits on 10 warships and sailed the river. While traveling to the junction between the Bengawan Solo River and the protective river of the village, he met the Pantura naval fleet.
5 Jung Jawa fleet warships using a 1-2-2 formation and defending the Bengawan Solo River, locking it up completely. Joko Tingkir being at the furthest position ahead had seen the water bandits, of course he did not hesitate and immediately ordered them to attack.
In an era when warships lacked gunpowder and cannons, there were not many ways of fighting. Whether it was the archers who only shot at each other or the side battles where the soldiers jumped onto each other's ships and fought.
