The Metaverse World
A Presence that Changes Fate
Seeing their shocked expressions, Heru Cokro added, "If you feel any doubt, you can go to Gresik Prefecture and see for yourself what I'm saying. After that, we can discuss it further."
Batur Barui and Barui Barito looked at each other before they nodded in line, "We will trust you, sir."
Heru Cokro smiled with satisfaction. The presence of Ashwatama beside him added to his belief.
During the meeting, it was agreed that more than twenty tribes would migrate to Al Shin Subdistrict. They would abandon their hunting lives and turn into farmers. Settlements would be built in the western areas of their territory, forming a unity with other tribes.
They will be given free land, agricultural equipment, grain and resources for a month based on regional strategies. If they need more grain, they can borrow from the sub-district barn.
Meanwhile, to care for those who do not want to become farmers, Al Shin District will establish the first affiliate area, Nun Village, at the foot of Mount Bukit Raya. Nun Village will serve as a guard post for adventurers entering the mountains, as Al Shin District is too far away to be a comfortable stopover.
All the signs indicate that Nun Village will be growing rapidly in the future.
Heru Cokro certainly did not intend to keep all the sixty thousand troops that surrendered. Most of them would be returned to their tribe to become farmers.
Following the strategy of having an elite army, Heru Cokro ordered Ashwatama to form three mountain regiments using the elites from their army. In addition to the new mountain division, they would become the third division of the Tiger Legion. The position of the great general will be left vacant for a while.
Batur Barui, who had gained Ashwatama's trust, was appointed deputy major general and colonel of the first regiment. Bachrun was appointed colonel of the second regiment.
Barui Barito was satisfied with the appointment of Batur Barui. It was a sign of great confidence from Heru Cokro.
Name: Batur Barui (golden rank) Identity: Deputy Major General of the 3rd Division of the Tiger Legion, Colonel of the 1st Regiment Occupation: General of the Loyalty Madya: 75 Commandments: 55 Powers: 85 Intelligence: 45 Politics: 40 Privileges: Strength granted by gods (Increasing troop combat strength by 15%) Cultivation: Nil Completeness: Nil Evaluation: The bravest warrior of the Dayak Tribe, bestowed with power by gods.
Batur Barui indeed deserves this award with the talent given by the gods. Without any special training, he had reached the rank of vice major general. With a little guidance from Aswatama, Heru Cokro hopes Batur Barui will develop into an advanced general.
About the cultivation method, Heru Cokro had already thought of the technique learned by Jayakalana. If an opportunity arises, he will ask Jayakalana to teach Batur Barui.
With this agreement, peace was finally achieved on the island of South Kalimantan. The population of Al Shin District has grown rapidly to more than 160 thousand people. Just with this battle, Rama's achievement points soared rapidly, making him ranked the prestigious Camat I.
On the same day, the status of Al Shin Subdistrict was upgraded to a Basic Village, signifying its incredible growth. However, at the same time, Gili King Island entered the crucial stage of the ongoing battle.
Aenganyar Village, an initially unattractive, humble, and small region, suddenly became the center of the entire Battle of Gili Raja Island. In an instant, the once prosperous small village was shattered by the war. The air there was filled with the breath of death, and the previously crowded commercial streets were now silent.
The once clean stone floor was now polluted by blood and dirt. In the sewers on both sides of the road, corpses piled up. The deceased are only covered carelessly without proper burial. The fire has destroyed the once beautiful shop building with carvings and paintings. Some parts of the building have collapsed, and smoke from the embers is still blowing.
All of these scenes reflected the horrifying atrocities of war.
Under the setting sun, Untung Suropati stood on top of the territorial wall, her eyebrows tensed and drooped. A full day had passed, and attack after attack had been directed at the defending Javanese army of Dwipa in the south. However, they were still steadfastly standing, unshakable like a mountain.
Fortunately Suropati has tried various tactics, ranging from frontal attacks to stealth attacks, night attacks, and various other strategies. However, all these efforts felt futile. The enemy troops were like tireless, their persistence was truly terrifying.
"I'll never give up, no matter what you do," Inner Profit Suropati loudly.
On the north side of Gili Raja Island, an alliance has been formed. This reduced the threat on the side, but also resulted in Zainal Sigit, the leader of the north side, failing to recruit new members.
Zainal Sigit sought to appeal to the alliance forces on the north side to help Aenganyar Village and destroy one of the enemy sides. However, the reply they received was the question, "Why did the troops from the south side not teleport to the Tile Village alone?"
Zainal Sigit fell silent, realizing that the situation was getting more difficult.
Not everyone has the courage and foresight like Profit Suropati. Before actually being pushed to the wall, many were only concerned with their own personal interests.
After an entire day had passed, only two regions finally decided to join the Queen Kidul Alliance, thus making them ten thousand strong people. Zainal Sigit sent an envoy to deliver a message that read, "There will be no further reinforcements."
Fortunately, Suropati can no longer wait. He began a series of attacks against the enemy. He knew that Dwipa's Javanese cavalry troops had rushed day and night to Aenganyar Village. The ruthlessness and determination of their troops exceeded his expectations.
It was fortunate that Suropati was amazed by the ability of a female general to train a group of hot-blooded men into such a powerful and disciplined army. The balance of war began to shift towards the enemy.
"Call the guards!" yells.
"Sendiko Dawuh!" Answer the soldiers.
"Send the order to withdraw. The troops will rest for one night. Tomorrow morning, we will launch our last attack" Profit Suropati was like a compulsive gambler who had decided to risk everything.
"Yes, general!" The soldiers quickly followed orders.
"Geez!" Tribhuwana Tunggadewi breathed a sigh of relief.
“General, from the look of their formation, it seems like they will not attack us secretly tonight,” said 2nd regiment colonel Agus Fadjari.
Tribhuwana Tunggadewi nodded, "Although that's the case, we can't relax our guard."
"Understood!"
“Call Kaditula Negoro. It's turn!” pinta Tribhuwana's.
"General?" Agus Fadjari was stunned, but happiness appeared in his eyes.
“General Syarifudin has sent a message. Before noon, reinforcements will arrive,” Tribhuwana explained.
The Military Intelligence Division uses an intelligence network formed from the Hajj Pipit Bird to transmit important information quickly and efficiently.
"This is so awesome!" Agus Fadjari was very emotional. Finally, the tough days of Division 1 will be over soon.
"Go!" Tribhuwana Tunggadewi waved at him.
"Yes, general!"
Kaditula Negoro was also a general since the beginning of the establishment of the Java Dwipa region. He was a colonel from the first regiment. His men were sword shield warriors, becoming the absolute main force during daytime battles. The reason why the 1st division could survive this long was thanks to them.
