Unity in the Midst of Threats
"Honored leaders," Zainal Sigit glanced around at everyone, "Jawa Dwipa came with bad intentions. It's important for us to be united if we want to get through these difficult times."
All the nobles nodded in agreement.
"Sir Sigit, what idea do you have? Just tell me, and we'll follow you."
"That's right, just say it."
"Good!" Zainal Sigit smiled enthusiastically. "Since you all believe me, I will say it honestly. We need to form an alliance. By utilizing our teleportation advantage, we will launch a surprise attack to surprise the enemy!"
When his words arrived, the meeting room was filled with excitement.
"Sak Sigit, forming an alliance is fine, but based on your plan, we will gather strength together. If we do, what will happen to our region? Without the defense forces, we will be defeated in seconds." Nobles are intelligent; they are not fools.
"Stupid!" It was not Zainal Sigit who spoke, it was Hozni.
Hozni stood up emotionlessly and exclaimed loudly, "Did you all not know the simple theory that if the lips died, the teeth would feel cold? If we can't destroy it, what's the point of a dead city?" He looked at one of the rulers and shouted word by word, "What use is there?"
The nobles could not give him an answer.
"Let me ask you. With your troops, do you have the confidence to fight them?"
The meeting room was silent.
Among all those present, no one dared to say that they could fight against the Jawa Dwipa forces.
Just think about it; within a week, they had seized ten territories. The rewards and achievements of the bloody battle could make all the rulers present accept this harsh reality.
Seeing the nobles immersed in their thoughts, Zainal Sigit spoke again, "The situation is like that. We all have to face reality. We can only give our best and hope for the best."
"I agree!"
"Agreed!"
With this, an alliance was formed, outlining the upcoming special battle plans and strategies.
In this case, they need Profit Suropati. As the major general of the city protection division, he could also serve as the commander of the alliance forces.
The combat power of the six regions combined numbered nearly forty thousand.
Their target was the troops on the south side.
In June, the second date, we were in Aenganyar Village.
Under the command of Tribhuwana Tunggadewi, the south side troops finally reached Aenganyar Village. However, they were shocked when they found only a few guards on the territory wall.
"General, it looks like the enemy is too weak" said one soldier, in a tone of confusion.
Tribhuwana Tunggadewi frowned when he realized that something was not right. "Don't be too confident. Resume attack!"
"Yes, general!"
After descending ashore, the southern side troops advanced rapidly, claiming every territory that was in front of them. Victory after victory had made them underestimate their opponents.
Although Aenganyar Village looked strange, Tribhuwana Tunggadewi did not ignore it.
Tribhuwana Tunggadewi remained vigilant, feeling something was amiss. "There's something wrong. Command the troops to remain alert!"
"Yes, general!"
However, when they entered the village, the streets were empty. This situation is common during sieges; residents will hide.
However, the swift clattering of the approaching horse paws shocked them.
When the entire army entered the village, everything changed drastically.
Suddenly, a secret door appeared at the village gate they destroyed. From there, many troops appeared, covering the gates and trapping the southern flank forces inside.
"It's bad! We're trapped!" Tribhuwana Tunggadewi was startled and shouted, "Form a defensive formation! Hang on!"
But that's when it was too late.
They saw many soldiers facing them on all the village streets, with large numbers of archers appearing on the roofs of the houses.
A rain of arrows struck towards them, and in an instant, many soldiers fell down.
"General, what should we do?" The voice of a soldier panicked.
Tribhuwana Tunggadewi tries to maintain calm. "Don't panic! Armies shield swords, cover the shop walls! Form a defense formation and defend!"
The first division was an elite force; they moved without panic.
The sword-shielded soldiers immediately formed a line to protect themselves from the rain of arrows that came. Beside them, the archers meticulously released deadly arrows towards the enemy. Their skill in archery with a strong bow and incredible precision was immediately apparent. Although the enemy had the advantage of a high place on the roof of the building, the 1st Division managed to deal with it bravely.
Archers who occupied high positions continued to be fired, and their corpses were scattered one after another. The threat from those roofs gradually subsided.
Meanwhile, the other soldiers moved boldly towards the shops around them and took down the wooden planks to build a simple fortress. Fortunately, there was a grain store that had a lot of wheat beside it. The soldiers swiftly transported sacks of wheat into the streets to form a primitive defense.
Using this protection, the 1st Division managed to survive in quite difficult circumstances.
It was fortunate that Suropati was sitting quietly in one of the arrow towers at the village gate, watching the southern side troops closely. "As expected of the elite forces, they have the ability to adapt in this kind of situation" he said with the award.
In a situation where they did not have an absolute advantage, Profit Suropati knew that challenging them head-on would be a very risky act. The outcome of the battle would not be predictable with certainty.
However, they were all aware that this situation was only temporary. Tribhuwana Tunggadewi, who was standing behind one of the wooden planks, shook his head in regret. This is his mistake. He never imagined that in just a few days, the enemy would manage to form a strong regional alliance, and wisely use teleportation to exploit their weaknesses.
Fortunately, Division 1 was an experienced squad. As long as they could stay afloat in an ordinary battle, they still had a chance to overcome the enemy.
Tribhuwana Tunggadewi is Raden Syarifudin Division. As long as he led the 2nd Division of the Dragon Legion, this matter could be overcome. Even more than that, the entire alliance was threatened to be in serious trouble.
On this, the south-central Gili Raja Island will face a very real threat. Tribhuwana Tunggadewi can only wait, as well as Untung Suropati. Although the alliance army had a significant numerical advantage, Untung Suropati was hesitant to confront all of them without any additional assistance. His reliance on reinforcements is a sure thing.
Zainal Sigit had sent a message to other regions, trying to persuade them to join this alliance. They will later use teleportation to arrive at Aenganyar Village. Both sides are racing against time, with Raden Syarifudin's forces taking at least two days to arrive at the site.
The big question was whether the reinforcements from Zainal Sigit could arrive in these two days? At the moment, all of these things are still uncertain.
The news that the south side troops were trapped had spread rapidly throughout Gili Raja Island. Their victory came at a very critical time, shaking the image of the Dwipa Javanese Army which had been considered invincible. The great change in the dynamics of the Battle of Gili Raja Island felt closer and closer.
