The Noko Island Part 1
Heru Cokro is confused. He quickly stood up and dodged the bow, as words came out of his mouth, "Uncle need not act like this."
Sabil Fatah shook his head determinedly and said, “Because I have accepted your offer, I am now your subordinate. I must not break the law and the norm.” After he finished these words, he earnestly bowed and greeted Heru Cokro again.
Heru Cokro was helpless. He could only tilt his body and receive the shabbily of Fatah.
Sabil Fatah was the first player to hold an important position in the administrative system of Java Dwipa, and it was a historic event. The members of the expert group were only advisors, so they were fundamentally different from Sabil Fatah. Therefore, Sabil Fatah is clearly aware of the impact of his appointment as an official to be brought to other players. There was also another reason why he insisted on keeping the customs. He did so to protect and maintain the authority of Heru Cokro as Regent of Gresik, ruler of Java Dwipa.
If he relied on his status as an elder of Heru Cokro and recklessly sabotaged the rules and customs of the officials, his comrades and other officials would definitely expel him. That would make it difficult to integrate with officials. Therefore, in time he would definitely be stripped of his position by Heru Cokro even if Heru Cokro was not very willing.
Heru Cokro clearly knew the current situation deep down. Things would not turn around and revolve around his personal will.
While he built a bureaucratic system, but also bind it. He could not compromise the rules and customs of the officials. In short, he could no longer casually act on his own will.
Before, all these problems were hidden in the dark. However, Sabil Fatah has now highlighted it and revealed its truth. However, Heru Cokro did not foresee that his appointment as manager of Bank Nusantara today would take the bank to the world stage, where its name would spread across the continent.
October 22, Heru Cokro arrived in Pantura again.
This time there was no bodyguard in sight, only Director Said followed him.
At Pantura Port, the Pantura naval fleet is ready. Every warship of Jung Jawa has been completely refurbished. Heru Cokro took out a bag of Military Ration Pills and distributed them to every warship.
Sealifters carried a bunch of arrows, water barrels, and alchemy oil to the warship.
One by one, the warship sails rose, along with the flag of the Javanese ruler Dwipa and also the flag of the Pantura naval fleet. The flag of the Pantura naval fleet, which also serves as the naval flag of Java Dwipa, has been modified from the flag of the ruler. The sun in the middle was converted into a five-story warship tower, the plants changed the motif of the waves and the blue sun surrounded it.
Before leaving, Heru Cokro led a fleet and prayed to Dhruwa. He hoped that the entire expedition would go smoothly.
After their arrival, the fleet remained in an offensive formation, and they officially departed from the port. Due to the lack of warship towers, the Pantura naval fleet could only choose the Javanese Jung warship as their mainstay, and sail in the middle of the formation.
Under the accompaniment of Joko Tingkir, Heru Cokro boarded the main ship. Previously, Heru Cokro had stated that the authority to lead the sea battle was in the hands of Joko Tingkir. He has stated he will not intervene in it.
The paddles powered the Javanese warship Jung, and half-body-high barrier walls protected both sides of the ship. There are slots for paddles under each of the two forts and twelve oars on each side. The sailors rowed on the deck.
The deck has 3 cabin levels, each with a 5-foot canopy. On the first floor of the cabin was another barrier wall. The Navy flag is mounted on four sides of the ship and the war drums and the flag is located in the middle of the first floor.
Heru Cokro walked to the deck. Then, he went to the first floor of the cabin and finally stopped in the command chair. Joko Tingkir waving the commando flag. When the drummer saw the cue, he played the drum. In a thrilling rhythmic beat, the fleet sailed on the mighty ocean.
Sailing on the sea will not stop apart from day and night, the only difference being that they sail slower at night.
Under normal circumstances, the warship Jung Jawa could sail 300 miles at sea in a day. Therefore, it only took less than two days for them to reach Noko Island.
Heru Cokro stood in front of the bow of the ship and stared at the endless ocean. As far as his eyes could see, he saw nothing but plain and dull seawater. The sea breeze blew on his face and carried a wet salty taste.
On the deck, the sailors sang in unison, as they rowed with hard work.
"Register, you need to go back to the cabin and rest!" Joko Tingkir said.
Heru Cokro nodded and returned to his room. Then, he closed the door and practiced his technique.
At nightfall, a strong wind blew in the sea. In times like these, the prayers of Dhruwa Shrine, the blessing is very useful. The warship Jung Jawa sailed steadily over the turbulent sea waves and advanced towards Noko Island.
The next morning, Heru Cokro came out of his room.
The sea glittered in the sun, as the bright reddish-orange sun slowly rose above sea level.
Thanks to a gust of strong wind yesterday night, the cruise became very smooth. According to estimates by Joko Tingkir, they will arrive at Noko Island by tomorrow afternoon.
The naval soldiers got up one by one and after a simple brush, they consumed fresh water pills and military grains to ensure they had the energy consumption needed for the day.
The experienced soldiers took advantage of the extra time and started wiping their weapons. The archers checked their bow adjustments, while the guards stood at the top of the cabin, as they watched closely for any changes at sea.
They took the alchemy oil and arrows onto the deck. The soldiers stood in their positions, ready for battle.
It was almost afternoon when an island appeared before the guards. Without further delay, he waved the signal flag and relayed the message to the drummers.
The drum had aroused Joko Tingkir's fighting spirit, and he immediately ordered the fleet to stay in the assault formation to attack forward.
The appearance of the Pantura naval fleet shocked the pirates of Suro Ireng. Fortunately, they did not go to do any more looting today, so everything was on the island.
Once the ringleader of the pirate Suro Ireng, Kumis Keris, received the news, he immediately gathered his men to prepare for war.
Suddenly, the small Noko Island turned chaotic.
