What followed was a battle of attrition.
The Nian Shou monster, with its back facing Jayakalana, was running around the back mountain, and struggling with all its might. Before he reaches his goal, he will not stop. Sometimes, he even hit a tree and was thrown onto a rock.
Unfortunately, even though Jayakalana was injured, she was unwilling to let go and stuck to her back.
Two hours later, the intense training had ended. What was worse was that the Nian Shou monster had just eaten and jumping around like that made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
In fact, Jayakalana was already at his limit and only relied on resilience.
At a crucial moment, Jayakalana's knowledge and experience come into play. He knew that the Nian Shou monster had recognized his ability and as long as it gave him a chance, it would be able to be tamed.
Jayakalana released her grip and gently rubbed her head while saying, “Monster Nian Shou, you are very strong and very fast, but must remain on such a small mountain. I, Jayakalana, can't stand to see you like this. Why don't you follow me to war?”
Monster Nian Shou was very smart and could understand human words. Therefore, after listening to his words, the monster Nian Shou stopped struggling.
Seeing the situation, Jayakalana was delighted while patting her head. “OK, from today onwards you will be called Vahanakalana. Together we will rule the battlefield.”
"Shouuu~" The beast let out a high-pitched roar.
Jayakalana seemed to be able to understand what it meant and was overjoyed.
Heru Cokro stood to the side and smiled. He could not imagine how majestic the Jayakalana would look to ride the Vahanakalana on the battlefield, and give the enemy so many nightmares.
Riding the Nian Shou monster, Jayakalana rushed to Heru Cokro's side and jumped up, saying excitedly, "Thank you Your Majesty!"
Heru Cokro nodded. “Congratulations general, to get a good mount. Armament Division will help build a set of armor for Vahanakalana to protect him.”
“Thank you, Sire!” Jayakalana really felt in heaven.
After the Jayakalana tamed the Nian Shou monster, they left the mountains behind and went towards the Military Affairs Bureau. Next week, he will complete the construction of Pamong Wetan Camp and the 3rd regiment. Heru Cokro has given various major appointments to Jayakalana and Raden Said.
In the afternoon, Heru Cokro called the Director of Internal Affairs Witana Sideng Rana to his office to discuss about the mountain barbarians.
Heru Cokro invited him to sit down. “Militer is growing, so we need many elite barbarian mountain warriors to build heavy armored infantry units. However the nearby mountain barbarian tribe had run out. Based on how I see it, we need to travel further up the mountains to earn their trust. Mountain barbarians are an important asset, and our policies must be maintained.
Witana Sideng Rana nodded and said, “I understand what you mean. Tomorrow, I will rush to the Gosari Tribe and have them act as intermediaries to help us visit the various tribes and give gifts to show our sincerity.
Seeing Witana Sideng Rana very well understood what she wanted, Heru Cokro was touched. "It's gonna be hard for you."
After that, the two discussed the specifics of the operation until 17:00, before ending the talks.
****
The 21st of August.
Maharani and Aryasatya Wijaya came to the District of Java Dwipa at the invitation of Heru Cokro,.
The Takon Papa clan made Aryasatya Wijaya feel the power and influence of Heru Cokro. When she came home, she thought about it and decided to personally follow her sister here to discuss further cooperation.
On the way back, although Maharani was curious about the Java region of Dwipa, he did not ask. During this visit, he had already decided to move.
The meeting room is arranged by rank and power to welcome guests there. He took the two to the guest room, and a waiter brought them drinks before leaving.
“Kak Aryasatya should stay here for a few days and allow me to take you around.” Heru Cokro laughed.
Aryasatya Wijaya laughed. "Because you're welcome, I can't refuse." He sipped his tea, and his eyes twinkled as he exclaimed, "Good tea!"
"I didn't expect Aryasatya's sister to know about tea, not like me."
Aryasatya Wijaya waved at him. “I don't know anything about tea. My grandfather who used to drink tea at home would drag me down, and after a while I learned a little from him.”
Heru Cokro nodded. “Well, before Aryasatya goes, can you bring tea leaves for Dharma Wijaya's grandfather? It was also considered a small gift from me. This tea is called white tea which we managed to find wild tea gardens nearby to make such tea.”
"thank you. My grandfather treated tea like his life. It is very difficult to find good tea here. To find something like this, she used to nag me. This is a very big help.” Aryasatya Wijaya was very happy.
Aryasatya Wijaya is the heir to the family, so her business skills and interpersonal skills are excellent. During the House of Takon the Father, he formed friendships with Genkpocker and Habibi. The motive was to eliminate the distance and obstacles between them and Indrayan Village to allow them to join the Java Dwipa Alliance.
His actions really worked. After the battle, Heru Cokro discussed with them through the alliance channel about Indrayan Village and did not face any obstacles.
In addition to the fact that they will accept Abraham Moses, Heru Cokro would like to suggest inviting Indrayan Village at the same time. As expected, they were both approved.
And that's the reason for this trip.
After receiving Pindad Village and Indrayan Village, Jawa Dwipa Alliance now has 8 members, the same as the IKN Alliance.
The actions of the IKN Alliance made Heru Cokro decide to accept the 2 new territories.
Of course before officially accepting Abraham Moses, Heru Cokro did some investigation. If he was a spy sent by Roberto, then they would get into a lot of trouble.
The investigation results made him not too worried. Combining the results of the investigation with what he remembered in his last life, that Abraham Moses did not join any faction, then he was not worried at all.
Aryasatya Wijaya visit is definitely not to reminisce about the past. During Kangsa Takon Papa, he understood that Heru Cokro liked to build a branch of Bank Nusantara in its allied territory.
Before he came, he had discussed the matter with his father and grandfather. They all reached an agreement that in order for Indrayan Village to achieve their goals, they would have to rely on others.
What they were worried about was whether the Jawa Dwipa District had enough money to support so many branches operating at the same time.
Especially with the situation of Indonet, forcing Heru Cokro to pay 20 thousand gold. Hence, Aryasatya Wijaya wanted to investigate a few things.
In fact, as he feared, the finances of the Dwipa Javanese District were very tight, and even the money needed to expand was only obtained from robbers.
However, all of this is temporary. As long as Heru Cokro sold the grain he had collected, he would be able to earn large amounts of cash and support the expansion of Bank Nusantara.
In order for Aryasatya Wijaya to relax and not worry, Heru Cokro revealed the White Wolf Mine to him. After hearing that the Java region of Dwipa has a gold mine, Aryasatya Wijaya heaved a sigh of relief.
Seeing the two decide on official affairs, the Maharani is restless.
