The Metaverse World
Pangkah Kulon and Pangkah Wetan
“In my opinion, to break the balance between nomadic tribes, the key lies in the Pangkah Tribe. The peace of the savanna is only maintained because Pangkah is too strong, much stronger than others. That was why, even when they knew that someone was provoking the Pangkah Tribe, no one dared to disobey orders. This is because Pangkah is out of their reach.”
“Pangkah tribe has 12,000 brave fighters while Udo Udo tribe only has 1,000. The difference was dozens of times, so only a fool would challenge the throne of the Pangkah kingdom. From the way I see it, if the intermediate tribe is willing, why don't we help them just once?”
His words sparked the interest of Heru Cokro. He could vaguely understand Wirama's intentions, and General Wirama's thoughts really astonished him. He hurriedly asked, "More details."
His master's great interest in his plan increased Wirama's confidence, and he said, “Pangkah tribe has two parts, Pangkah Wetan and Pangkah Kulon. Each section was placed with 5,000 soldiers. If we can travel deep into the savannah and destroy one of its parts, then we will be able to break its peace and balance. So that tangled wars for the royal throne between the tribes will be inevitable.”
"How's it?"
“Baginda, once Pangkah Tribe is severely damaged, he cannot suppress other tribes anymore. Even so, the medium-sized tribe still did not dare to point their swords at Pangkah, but they would definitely not accept Pangkah's orders anymore. The best way out for them is to obey orders and warnings. They would annex smaller tribes and strengthen themselves. In that case, not a single tribe would be safe, so war was inevitable. But, right now, this is where Batih Ageng comes into play. This is the best time to open Batih Ageng market. In order to expand their strength and strength, the tribes will trade anything, including barongs, weapons, food, and various other materials from us.”
Pak~pak~pak!
Heru Cokro led the crowd, as they clapped. He smiled and said, “Good thoughts, well planned and reaching far ahead. General Wirama, the one who has been away for three days must be seen with a new look!”
This made Wirama excited, and he said, “I thank my master for his judgment."
Heru Cokro then became serious. Then, he solemnly said, “Then, I ask you, how many cavalry do you need? Only then can you have the confidence to defeat one of the Pangkah sections. Remember that they are 5,000 elite soldiers.”
Since it was an open field savannah war, the only suitable unit was the cavalry. The individual combat abilities of the cavalry soldiers were better than those of the Javanese cavalry of Dwipa. The cavalry soldiers lived in savannas, so they were proficient in archery and horseback riding.
They also have barongs as mounts. Unlike the soldiers, Dwipa's Javanese cavalry were half-trained, and without a solid foundation.
Wirama smiled with great confidence and replied, "Paduka, 2,000 cavalry is more than enough."
“No jokes in war. 2,000 cavalry and you can win it?” These words surprised Heru Cokro. Of course he couldn't believe it.
“Of course, just relying on cavalry won't work. It all still requires coordination Sire.” Then, Wirama told Heru Cokro his entire plan, and every detail of it.
Heru Cokro listened carefully. After he heard his entire plan, Heru Cokro felt at ease. He believed the plan was at least 70-80% successful%. Although there are still some risks, but to build an empire, one cannot always be fully prepared. They must take risks and give everything when the time comes.
Without any hesitation, he followed Wirama's plan and announced the military expansion arrangement, "Agus Fadjari!"
"Ready Master!" Agus Fadjari stepped forward.
"Select 500 men from the military reserve unit, form the Kebonagung cavalry unit. You only have 10 days. So after that, I want to see an established cavalry unit.”
Heru Cokro only intended to leave the newly formed cavalry unit under Kebonagung Village because after the upgrade, his count was very vulnerable with only one territory defense unit. Moreover, he did not wish to place too many military forces in Pamong Lor Camp. Otherwise, it would bring tremendous pressure to the Udo Udo tribe.
2,000 cavalry were arranged and prepared in full accordance with Wirama's plan. They formed two cavalry units from Pamong Lor Camp, one cavalry unit from Pamong Kulon Camp, and the last newly formed cavalry unit from Kebonagung Village.
Wirama's proposed plan was officially codenamed Operation Obong-obong. This was because the operation would cause the destruction of the savanna and burn it to ashes.
The success of the operation was directly related to the future policies of the Javanese government of Dwipa against nomadic tribes as well as the future of the Dwipa Javanese cavalry. Therefore, its importance is unquestionable.
The Bureau of Military Affairs and Wirama will discuss the plan. They would cook it into a perfect plan.
Right after Heru Cokro returned from Batih Ageng Village, he once again plunged into handling government affairs.
******
On July 20, they completed the formation of the cavalry unit of Kebonagung Village. Agus Fadjari was officially promoted to the rank of major, and he led a cavalry unit. The cost of changing classes is of course taken from the profits earned in the first half of July.
Three days ago, Heru Cokro and the Maimun Trade Union of Lamongan signed their first deal on the trading platform.
Gudang Garam has produced 2.5 million units of salt consumption in the first half of July. According to the market price per unit of salt for 20 copper, the Maimun Trade Union had to pay 5,000 gold coins. After a 10% system tax deduction, Heru Cokro had 4,500 gold.
After the system update, taxes were reduced by half, so Gudang Garam could save a thousand gold each month from taxes alone.
As for the field of the White Wolf Mine, they handed over 4,000 gold without fail.
Since he placed mineral experts from a professional group in mining, they were taught to further improve the mine production line with more logical and scientific techniques. In the initial forecast for August, production efficiency will increase by 10%. The technical advice of a mineralogist can help produce at least 800 additional gold for Java Dwipa. This is where the value of an expert is put. Their contribution to the region was an overall improvement.
The initial 8,100 gold from the first half month, after deducting the cost of changing the cavalry unit class by 750 gold and the Bank Nusantara payment for the teleportation establishment fee of 4,400 gold, leaving only 2,950 gold.
Through teleportation formations, the cost to recruit players was extremely high. Including the player and his family, the average fee was 5 gold coins for teleportation fees alone, and did not include the basic accommodation fees for the players.
For the likes of Roberto and others, they have previously recruited new players from the real world and arranged for them to be born immediately in the region. Only those from wealthy and powerful families or clans had the resources to do so.
However, after interplanetary immigration, they would lose resources and could only pay teleportation fees like Heru Cokro. This in turn will be a huge cost and burden for them.
