Mastering the Devil's Steps: The Power and Leadership of Heru Cokro
Wiro has combined two different martial arts techniques in a way that truly understands both. The basic requirement was for him to achieve complete mastery of Wiro Sableng's Eight Fists. Luckily, Wiro had reached the level of a grandmaster in this martial art, so he had a solid foundation. This made Heru Cokro confident that in less than a month, he could reach the level of mastery he wanted.
In addition to improving the abilities in his spear technique, Heru Cokro also experienced a revival of memories from his past. In his previous life, he had trained in various gold-ranked techniques, except for two extremely powerful king-ranked techniques, one of which was a spear technique that was no longer useful in the current world. After much effort, he managed to revive his most famous secret technique, known as the "Devil's Step."
"System Notification: Congratulations to Player Jendra on the creation of a new technique, Devil's Step. Players were rewarded with ten thousand reputation points!" the message from the system. The Demon Step Technique was considered an authentic king rank movement technique, and this gave Heru Cokro a huge reward.
In a short half a month, Heru Cokro's abilities improved greatly. He could confidently face most of the region's generals, except Giri and Raden Syarifudin. Even in the fight against Tipukhris who was called the prairie black tiger, he could stand proudly among the top ten generals in Java Dwipa.
In order of strength, Raden Partajumena is the highest, followed by Jayakalana and Giri. Then Raden Syarifudin followed. Below them are Tribhuwana Tunggadewi and Gayatri Rajapatni. Although Ashwatama had created his own boxing technique, his strength was only slightly above average. Wirama, Mahesa Boma, and Dudung were the weakest among the generals.
Moreover, with the ten thousand reputation points he had earned, his reputation points total surpassed one hundred thousand, reaching the status of "Mashur." This gave him various advantages, such as increasing the good feelings of historical figures towards him and increasing the success rate of their recruitment.
With this achievement, he was given the title of "Silver Master," which would help him become increasingly known among historical figures. Most likely, he will achieve the title of "Mighty Master" in the next stage, which will increase his fame further and bring more historical figures to Java Dwipa.
In the fourth month, precisely on the 25th day, Java Dwipa experienced an important event. The Secretary of Military Intelligence of the Copper Rat relayed the latest intelligence results to Heru Cokro. At that time, Heru Cokro had appointed the Copper Rat to lead the Military Intelligence Division that had just been reorganized after Gresik's union. The Copper Rat swiftly took a role in reorganizing the military intelligence division.
This division is divided into several teams that have their own responsibilities. Team one served in the Garam Island region and Prabu Temboko territory. Team two has responsibilities in Bangkalan. While the special operations team concentrates on the highest level of intelligence gathering, such as missions in Prabu Temboko Territory and Sesaji Kalalodra. Therefore, special operations teams have a more strategic role compared to teams one and two.
These spies and members of the military intelligence division are moving out of Gresik Prefecture with a focus on their intelligence gathering tasks. In the territory of Gresik Prefecture, the Pamomong Berdasi Rat is in charge of the remaining players, the mountain barbarians tribe, and the prairie tribe. Heru Cokro had used the Pamomong Rat Berdasi for this purpose before establishing the Salvation Division. With the appointment of the Copper Rat as the division head and the joining of a large number of members of the original Bated Rat Paying Army Group, the division's power and intelligence gathering capabilities increased significantly.
The Copper Rat has a special meeting with Heru Cokro to report on developments in Sesaji Kalalodra and Prabu Temboko Territory. For the past four months, Sesaji Kalalodra has been an unstoppable force as they took control of Bangkalan. They even started building their capital, which they named Swargaloka.
History has noted that the Kalalodra Sesaji were a fast rising and falling force, mainly due to the corrupt behavior of their king Prabu Jarasanda. However, after Jarasanda's forces entered Swargaloka, they made ambitious steps. They demolished many homes and used millions of manpower to rebuild the area. The result was a glittering majestic city, with a five kilometer radius of an imposing palace.
As part of the agreement with Vishnu, the core members of the rebel forces lost memory of events like this. Only their leaders have a complete memory. This helps their leader, who wants to right his past mistakes and build his ideal country.
After learning a valuable lesson from his past mistakes, he took a wise and cautious approach in the affairs of killing kings and nobles. Prabu Dimbaka, Prabu Hamsa, and Prabu Sisupala all emerged as powerful generals under the command of rebel forces.
Prabu Jarasanda, who was a powerful ruler, would stay in Swargaloka and lead and organize the rebel forces from there. They were called "Million Soldiers" because their goal was to expand their territory with one big move.
In the east, Prabu Sisupala and Dantawaktra led their forces in invading Sumenep. In the north, Prabu Hamsa and Banasura led their armies towards Ketapang. In the south, Prabu Dimbaka and Kalayawana attacked Sampang. Meanwhile, in the west, two young generals, Ra Kuti and Ra Semi, lead the attack towards Gresik.
In the four directions, the armies of the Million Soldiers in the west and north grew rapidly and became an unstoppable force. Players in those areas must choose between surrender or face destruction.
That rebel force, like a rolling snowball growing larger, continued to strengthen its position. The Carok alliance, formed by several rulers in Burajeh, despite its shocking name, has no chance against the increasingly powerful rebel forces.
The fall of Sumenep and Ketapang was only a matter of time. However, in the south, they faced a strong army under the leadership of Prabu Temboko. Since establishing Temboko City, Prabu Temboko has taken over the entire Sampang. Trying to attack Sampang means facing persistent resistance.
Prabu Temboko's army consisted of elite soldiers from the barbarian mountains. Although the rebel forces led by Prabu Dimbaka easily overcame the player's forces, fighting the mountain's elite warriors was an extraordinarily difficult task.
The rebel forces, in a hurry to be recruited, were mostly peasants without military training. Although their general's spirit and skills were high, they were far behind in terms of weaponry.
Prabu Dimbaka did not despair even though the eastern army had retreated. Instead, he ordered the establishment of camps on the border of Bangkalan and Sampang. They used this opportunity to train their troops and build a strong discipline.
Due to the limited population of Temboko City, the rebel forces did not dare to take the initiative to attack.
The situation in the southern region is getting more complicated and runs into a dead end.
