The Metaverse World
Ends in a Funny Way
Not only Wijiono Manto, even Roberto and Lotu Wong stood still on the spot, shocked by the news they received. The alliance army was in a state of despair.
The eastern region was destroyed naturally by the 4th regiment led by Hadikarya, while the western region was destroyed by the city protection regiment guarded by Petrochemicals. Heru Cokro had previously made sure that the region on both sides had no soldiers left.
Compared to group 1 of the Military Intelligence Division, the special operations group in charge in the west did not notice the appearance of Wijiono Manto and was eventually scolded by Gajah Mada. Gajah Mada demanded that the special operations group investigate which areas violated the contract and allow the IKN Alliance to teleport.
The leadership of the special operations group had switched from Ghozi to a new elite spy, which made him very angry. He left his men with a harsh threat, saying that if they could not find the territory that broke the contract, he would lose face before the Regent and would commit suicide, but before that, he'll kill them all first.
A cold wind suddenly spread within the group, making the atmosphere even more tense. Special operations group spies conduct house-by-house checks such as hunting dogs, eventually finding clues and identifying areas that violate contracts.
Raden Partajumena immediately ordered the Petrochemical city protection regiment to monitor the region and prepare to destroy it. With the plan ripe, the alliance army had been besieged, and their escape path had been completely cut off.
Pancadnyana asked worriedly, "Your Majesty?"
"Oh!" Wijiono Manto pondered for a moment before declaring in despair, "We have no destination!"
"What do you mean?" pancadnyana asked in surprise.
“The region that should send us back has been destroyed. We have nowhere to retreat to!” explain Wijiono Manto with a broken heart.
When those words sounded, the atmosphere in the army tent became grim. On February 15, at night in Java Dwipa, the moon shone melancholy outside Java Dwipa, reflecting the scene of destruction at the west gate.
After besieging the enemy, Raden Partajumena gave no opportunity for the alliance troops to rest; he continued to launch their attacks. Soldiers from all three directions suppressed the alliance troops until they could not move. After the afternoon battle, the alliance army suffered a defeat. They either died in battle or surrendered.
In this battle, Wijiono Manto was killed, and Pancadnyana was captured. The list of casualties in this battle was enough to destroy the backbone of the Wijiono Manto region. Not only was Pancadnyana captured, but all of his elite generals were either captured or killed in battle.
For Avian, who did not have a strong military force, the capture of Pancadnyana was a huge blow. It seems that Wijiono Manto will take a long time to heal from this wound.
When Pancadnyana was arrested, he was mentally prepared to be put to death. But strangely, he was not sent to prison, but was escorted to the Manor of the Regent of Gresik. Heru Cokro has plans to utilize Pancadnyana.
As a king, his main goal was to put the appropriate person in the right position. Pancadnyana has great potential to play a role in this region. And with the death of Wijiono Manto, he lost all available support and supplies.
Meanwhile, Prabowo Sugianto's life is in a different situation. Even though he was ready to die, he was instead given a chance to live.
Raden Partajumena listened to Heru Cokro's instructions and released Prabowo Sugianto along with his important generals. He allowed them to teleport out of the Java Dwipa teleportation formation and leave Gresik.
Heru Cokro has two goals with this decision. First, he wants to build a relationship with Prabowo Sugianto and plant the seeds of cooperation among the IKN Alliance. Second, he wants to separate Wijiono Manto and Prabowo Sugianto. Although both of them were in the same camp, they were subjected to very different treatment. Heru Cokro hopes to trigger Wijiono Manto's negative feelings towards him.
After the battle, the troops began counting the casualties. The alliance army that surrendered numbered 8,000 men, and they were all taken prisoner. The Javanese army of Dwipa also suffered losses. The army of the prairie alliance lost 2,000 people, with the remaining 28 thousand people. They are awaiting reorganization by the Military Affairs Department.
The city protection division lost 4,000 people, which was the highest number. The greatest loss occurred when the prairie alliance forces attacked Batih Ageng, thus making the city protection division in high alert to the prairie alliance troops.
Dudung and Tipukhris also face tension between them due to this problem. This is not an easy problem to solve.
Finally, Gresik's battle ended in a surprising result, in a comical way.
After gaining the approval of Heru Cokro, Nadim Makaron and his generals were released, marking the official end of the Battle of Gresik. In this battle, the IKN Alliance had lost everything and there had been betrayals that caused cracks within the alliance. Jogo Pangestu and Roberto have completely severed ties with Nadim Makaron and become his enemies.
Wijiono Manto and Prabowo Sugianto, who were previously in the same camp, now face off against each other to protect Nadim Makaron, leaving the situation even more in disarray. Only Roberto remained steadfast, with his strength not being particularly affected, and he even managed to gain a powerful ally like Lotu Wong, who helped solidify his position as the leader of the IKN Alliance. Roberto is getting scarier and stand out as a major player in the alliance.
After the Battle of Gresik ended, the aftermath continued. The Jawa Dwipa Alliance continued to attack from all directions and quickly expanded their territory. The two rulers whose territory was destroyed secretly sold information about this battle to the Head of State.
After a long and thorough analysis, the Head of State shared the information online, causing an uproar among the players. They only realized that the Battle of Gresik had been reversed by Jawa Dwipa, and the IKN Alliance not only failed to achieve victory, but also suffered heavy losses.
This news surprised many, with people stating that Jawa Dwipa had managed to set up a brilliant strategy. The IKN Alliance has been seriously injured and is no longer able to compete with the Java Dwipa Alliance. Many support the greatness of Heru Cokro and Jendra in mastering Gresik without having to act directly.
In the forum, a lot of discussion and debate took place. Those who had previously supported the IKN Alliance were embarrassed and avoided the forum, while the players used to enjoy the atmosphere and appreciate the glory of Java Dwipa.
However, among that noise, the players who were truly interested in the battle wanted more details about the war. Unfortunately, other than the unit of Commander Java Dwipa, no one had any specific information about the entire battle.
The Javanese Military Academy Dwipa was later established, and the War God Drona invited Raden Partajumena to teach about the Battle of Gresik as a case study that attracted the attention of many people.
