“In the military, we are very fair. If you do well, we will repay you. But if you fail, we will punish you. General Giri was paid half a year, while five majors three months.” Heru Cokro announced their punishment.
"We thank Your Majesty for letting us go!"
After this, General Giri started talking about the hostage situation, "Paduka, we have captured 320 archers, 1,260 sword shield soldiers, and 54 cavalry. The total is 1,634 people."
Heru Cokro nodded, “Deliver everything to the Military Affairs Bureau and temporarily send them to the reserve forces. As for the first regiment, after this operation is over, we will fortify the troops.”
"Operation?" General Giri did not understand.
"That's fine. The enemy dares to challenge us, so they have to pay this price with blood. I will return to the main camp and gather the village protection Unit and Pana Srikandi Unit to help the first regiment destroy Wilmar Village and Nippon Village. How's it? Do you have confidence?” Heru Cokro announces his plans for revenge.
Since Wilmar Village and Nippon Village had spent a lot of troops now, this was the best time to attack. Heru Cokro did not want to leave them at any time to recover, nor did he want to allow them to recruit and train new troops.
When he heard that they were going for revenge, the general's blood boiled. Then, he emotionally said, "Open don't worry, we won't let you down!" Although the first regiment had lost half of its army, with the help of the village protection Unit and the Srikandi Pana Unit, he had absolute confidence to conquer two empty villages.
Since it was a time of war, the meeting ended quickly. Heru Cokro temporarily stationed the Paspam Battalion and the first unit of the 2nd regiment at Camp Pamong Kulon, and he brought ten of his guards to immediately return to the Javanese District of Dwipa.
By the time he returned to the District of Java Dwipa, the time had shown at 4 pm.
He did not immediately rush back to the ruling residence. Instead, he headed for the Bureau of Military Affairs to listen to the report of the director of military affairs, Raden Said. When he heard that the 3rd regiment had obtained such an incredible result, his depressed heart felt a little relieved.
Jayakalana did not disappoint him. With this battle alone, he would gain a foothold in the military. He would gain reputation and respect in the 3rd regiment. With him as the head of the 3rd regiment, Heru Cokro had nothing to worry about at all.
Heru Cokro ordered Raden Said to put all the prisoners in the reserve force.
Prisoners from the east and west numbered 2,800 soldiers. They were all good soldiers and did not need to change classes. Heru Cokro would naturally not waste it. At the right time, he would put them all in his army.
Heru Cokro informs Raden Said of the operation of Camp Pamong Kulon and asks the Military Affairs Bureau for help.
"Director Said, tell me my words!" Then, Heru Cokro ordered, “Ordered the 2nd unit of the 2nd regiment to rush to the main camp. Order the Pamong Kebonagung Unit to help the 3rd Regiment destroy Rosmala Village and Maspion Village. Pana Srikandi unit will be divided into two, one to help Pamong Kulon Camp and the other to help Pamong Wetan Camp to complete this operation.”
This time, Heru Cokro was really angry, and he did not want to give his enemy a chance.
"Your Majesty!"
After he left the Military Affairs Bureau, Heru Cokro did not stop and rushed to the barracks. He found Major Unit Pana Srikandi, Sayakabumi. After he gave some instructions to the major, Heru Cokro returned to the ruling residence.
News of the war has spread in the region.
Heru Cokro sent a message about the ambush he was facing in the Jawa Dwipa sub-district in the alliance channel. He warned his allies to pay attention to their territorial borders in case of a similar situation.
From this battle, Heru Cokro realized that the warning system at the border was far from enough. Once the territory grew, they did not set up guard towers on the border giving the enemy an opportunity to attack.
"Jogo Pangestu is so shameless!" Genkpocker.
“Jendra, is this Jogo Pangestu himself or the IKN Alliance who plays it?" Hesty Purwadinata asked.
Heru Cokro shook his head and said, “Baseless guess is meaningless. Let's just see." Heru Cokro has the same concerns as Luhut Panjaitan. He did not want to start a war between the two alliances so quickly.
Hesty Purwadinata was smart and immediately understood what Heru Cokro meant and said, "Understood."
Vishnu first year, 4 September, District of Java Dwipa.
At 6 a.m., Heru Cokro brought his bodyguards, the Ghozi military affairs director, Major Unit Pana Srikandi Sayakabumi, and the 2nd unit of the 2nd regiment. They came out of the area, directly to Camp Pamong Kulon.
At the Pamong Kulon Camp, Heru Cokro immediately stopped to meet with the Paspam Battalion and the first unit of the 2nd regiment. This time, they set off for the Petrochemical Village, which was on the westernmost side of Gresik.
Based on the introduction of the Director of military affairs, Petrochemical Village is 300 kilometers from the District of Java Dwipa. It is 240 kilometers from Camp Pamong Kulon, near Gedongkedoan Lake.
The strategic motive of Heru Cokro is simple, to completely destroy the threat on the west side. He wanted to uproot the three main rulers west of Gresik.
For that, he had to take the troops on a long journey.
Petrochemical Village Chief Dwi Satriyo would definitely not expect Heru Cokro to do that. Therefore, Dwipa Jawa District purely carries cavalry. They planned to attack them before they could react.
The hot sun was already high in the sky. Under the direction of a military affairs spy, 1,500 elite cavalrymen venture deep into the wilderness, heading for the path of revenge.
To increase speed, they rest shorter. Heru Cokro had also taken 1,500 barongs from the stables. This action ensured that each cavalry had two barongs, so they could replace both on the road.
The Military Affairs Division deliberately chose a route that avoided Wilmar Village and Nippon Village to prevent the emergence of more side problems. In the afternoon, the troops smoothly passed through Wilmar Village and entered the deepest point in the wilderness.
For this long mission, Heru Cokro had done a lot of preparation. Not only did he carry enough Military Niket, he also carried a Military Ration Pill and two three-bow arcuballistas that filled his storage bag to the brim.
On September 5, a series of simple notifications appeared in his ears.
