THE MISSING WARRIOR
SECTION 4 KING'S INVITATION
Putri Kencana was very surprised to hear the story of Sentanu regawan about Wiro Sabrang who actually still counted the son of Kertajaya from the wife of concubine Gandasari who he had killed. Even the little boy Wiropati that Sentanu had hidden in the store had also been removed by Princess Kencana. How could the boy possibly come back to life, even become a swordsman. Princess Kencana muttered in her heart. Princess Kencana silently started sniffing that news must be a lie. He who now has two men who are the same age as Wiro Sabrang can certainly withstand. Putri Kencana believes that his two sons also have the magic like a swordsman. Were not his two sons also taught martial arts by the Sentanu Begawan?
Putri Kencana kept a silent watch over the movements of Wiro Sabrang while persuading his son to block Wiro Sabrang if he wanted to be made a warlord by Kertajaya. Of course the princess Kencana is not willing if the stepson who has been killed is alive again and will get a high position in the kingdom of Singosari. Both of his sons Singoyudo and Singojati should be entitled to the award of Senopati's position instead of Wiro Sabrang.
Kertajaya who had seen for himself if the swordsman Wiro Sabrang is the heirloom of the devil's machete, he buru2 asked the menghawan Sentanu to seduce and invite the young swordsman to join into Singosari ponggawa. Kertajaya was eager to have the heirloom not only to fight the demon king, but to be stored as the heirloom of Singosari's glory. Begawan Sentanu himself who had educated Wiro Sabrang when he was 10 years old had a close relationship with the young man so he was easy to give advice or ask for help. That's why Kertajaya called the Sentanu employees to come to the evacuation center to talk about his intention to call Wiro Sabrang.
"Hamba thinks Wiro is hitting Banaspati Gusti palace. Let's wait for the news" said Begawan Sentanu while bowing his head.
"But begawan should be able to invite the boy to join the Kraton Singosari Bopo" said Kertajaya. It was difficult for Begawan Sentanu to force Wiro Sabrang to participate in the kingdom because he was an adventurous swordsman. He does not like to be ruled, especially for the sake of personal power. Wasn't Wiro Sabrang now doing his thing against the demon lord ? How could he possibly persuade if he did not participate in attacking the palace. Is not Raden Kertajaya and all the royal guards are in a condition to evacuate because they cannot match the strength of Banaspati?
"If you dare not, let me force Wiro Sabrang." continued the arrogant Singoyudo. Begawan Sentanu was silent does not mean he did not dare to speak, but was annoyed by the comments of Singoyudo prince who seemed able to match Wiro Sabrang.
"Hmm. leave Singoyudo. Invite the young swordsman to join us" said Kertajaya who is proud because his two sons have the courage to talk to Wiro Sabrang.
All because of the support of Kencana's daughter who was intent on bringing down Wiro Sabrang obtained a position within Singosari's palace. Princess Kencana even asked the help of the guards to thwart the efforts of Wiro Sabrang.
"But he's a Gusti ayu swordsman. I can't stand against Wiro Sabrang Gusti" said the bodyguard who forced Kencana's daughter to kill Wiro Sabrang.
"Originally you know yes, that boy is also a Sentanu disciple. What a great Sentanu disciple is in this great palace. My son was also taught martial arts by Sentanu. What difference?'
"But Wiro Sabrang is no ordinary man Gusti. He seemed to have possessed a warrior spirit who was extremely powerful and immune to weapons" said the bodyguard.
"Already, I don't want to know, you guys should be able to prevent Wiro's move further than Singoyudo and Singojati's pengeran"
"Well, queen, I will do what I can"
"There follow Singojati's steps. Watch if you fail I'll fire you."
With a heavy heart the two bodyguards stepped out following Singoyudo's footsteps.
***
Singoyudo felt challenged to hear the orders from his father to arrest Wiro Sabrang who still did not want to stay in the store. Singoyudo wants to see how great the swordsman Sentanu brought if without a demon machete weapon. Singoyudo had also studied kung fu to warriors from Mongolia.
Gumilang from the palace had followed the steps of Singoyudo prince on the orders of the queen of Putri Kencana approached the prince.
"Well, you find out where the swordsman's position is, don't be attacked, just tell him where he is. Let me face it myself"
"Ready Wrestling."
It is very difficult for Singoyudo to follow the steps of Wiro Sabrang which is very fast like a storm that blows in the dry season. But finally met also with a shadowy figure 2 dashing men who were standing without their knowledge. Singoyudo gave the code to keep Singojati quiet. Then by exerting energy in Singoyudo directly attacked from behind the man.
"Hiaaaatt!!"
Without ba bi bu Singoyudo attacked Wiro Sabrang from behind. Wiro Sabrang who did not think there was an attack from Singoyudo certainly did not try to avoid so that the impact of kicks and punches Singoyudo rained down on the back and head of Wiro Sabrang. But what happened was Singoyudo who bounced and groaned in pain because of his feet and fist as if he had hit a very hard granite stone.
"Aaaaacca!!"
"Brukk !!"
Wiro Sabrang smiled to see the young prince fall in front of him while holding onto his blistered leg. Wiro Sabrang extended his hand to help Singoyudo stand up.
"What's the Dimas ? Come on get up." said Wiro.
"I'm sorry my brother."
Malunya is not playing Singoyudo is not able to fight Wiro Sabrang who turned out to be very immune and kind. That was just the beginning of attacking with empty hands. Singoyudo thought it might be possible to use a weapon, of course another. Singoyudo took off Wiro Sabrang's arms and began to mount the horses while wielding the sword. Wiro Sabrang smiled again when he saw the young prince's actions began to upset him.
"I want to try the magic of Wiro's brother" Singoyudo said as he jumped and attacked with a sword into Wiro Sabrang's body.
"Hiiiiieahhhhh!!"
"Trangs! Trang!!"
Singoyudo's sword slashed at Wiro Sabrang's non-dodging body many times and Wiro's body was completely unharmed. Even Singoyudo who was upset because he was underestimated and the sword used to injure his opponent was broken like a rock. This time Singoyudo immediately calmed down and kowtowed to Wiro Sabrang who looked at him with a smile.
"Ampuuun kakang Wiro's. I was only sent by my father to persuade the brother to return to the temple. I agree that Brother Wiro Sabrang will be the warlord for Singosari" Singoyudo said. But Wiro Sabrang can still smile and be patient hearing the persuasion of his two half-brothers.
" If my business is done, I will help your father. Believe me." said Wiro Sabrang as he jumped up a tree and vanished with the gust of wind.
