"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Pangeran!", replied the four high-ranking Panjalu soldiers who were facing Panji Tejo Laksono while worshiping the eldest son of Prabu Jayengrana.After their meeting was over, the four men immediately retreated from the porch of the guest hall of honor to continue their respective activities
In the afternoon, heavy rain poured into the Kadipaten Kalingga City area. It makes the air feel cooler than usual. There are hardly any activities outside the home. Everyone chooses to stay at home. Some wine shops are usually crowded visited by foreigners who trade in the port of Halong also seems quiet.
A brothel located not far from the port of Halong also looks not crowded as usual. The house was the former residence of the Tjoa Bu Teng family, which is now owned by Oey Yong, one of the few wealthy merchants of Chinese descent who owned several brothels in the Duchy of Kalingga and Kembang Kuning.
That night Tumenggung Rajegwesi disguised as a commoner with Demung Gumbreg, confused looking for arak and sidhdhu to warm up. Finally arrived at Oey Yong's brothel. Two beautiful women in clothes that were open here immediately approached the two of them who looked cold because their bodies were rained.
"Oh Ndoro Ganteng, kog raining so, is not afraid of cold?", said genut a beautiful woman with thick red lips blushing immediately flanking the left arm of Gumbreg as big as a hanging papaya stem. Another flanked Rajegwesi's arm while emphasizing his large breast on Rajegwesi's left arm.
"You guys don't flirt..
We are homegrown men who love wives. Don't rely on your bodies to seduce us. Will not be able to. Isn't it Si?", Gumbreg recklessly nudged Rajegwesi's arm.
"A-Ah Yes Mbreg.. Anu I'm like my friend too huh. You don't tease me" said Rajegwesi nervously as the comfort woman flanking her arm continued to rub her large breast into Rajegwesi's left arm. Inevitably, as a normal man, Rajegwesi's lust was provoked as well. Moreover, it has been almost 6 full moon he did not come into contact with his wife who is now in Kadiri.
"Ah Ndoro Ganteng no need to think that at home. They are far away, can not warm the body of Ndoro Ganteng both when cold like this.
Well this taste first sidhdhu from the Land of Pasundan, Ndoro Ganteng. This is the fastest word to warm the body" without waiting for approval from Gumbreg and Rajegwesi, the comfort woman immediately poured the sidhdhu into a bamboo cup and immediately reached out to Gumbreg and Rajegwesi. Because of this thing they were looking for, both Gumbreg and Rajegwesi immediately received the sidhdhu-filled cup and downed it. Warm feeling soon spread throughout the body Gumbreg and Rajegwesi.
After they chugged their siddhu, the two comfort women immediately shook Gumbreg and Rajegwesi's hands at an empty table in the corner of the room. Coincidentally the brothel was indeed quiet, only seen some people were drinking liquor accompanied by some prostitutes who continued to tease them with their bodies.
The two comfort women named Suketi and Basingah continued to poke Gumbreg and Rajegwesi with sidhdhu they brought. The two mischievous prostitutes apparently did not intend to release Gumbreg and Rajegwesi . From afternoon they did not get any guests at all because of the heavy rain that flushed the Kalingga Duchy.
The strong Gumbreg drank sidhdhu, seeing Rajegwesi half-teeler immediately whispered Basingah's ear which always provoked Rajegwesi.
"Rusi my friend, I'll take responsibility for the payment. Hurry there" said Gumbreg, smiling meaningfully and putting some silver pieces into the comfort woman's cleavage. Hearing the whisper of the devil from Gumbreg, Basingah immediately smiled broadly while memapah Rajegwesi who was not accustomed to chugging sidhdhu towards his bedroom.
Gumbreg grinned broadly staring at Basingah's semok butt before disappearing behind his bedroom door. Suketi also spoiled with a friendly sling on Gumbreg's left shoulder. He was a bit drunk because Gumbreg forced him to take sidhdhu.
"Ndoro Ganteng, his friend has entered the room. We when? Come on, Suketi is not able to bear the desire of horses" said Suketi spoiled.
Hearing Suketi's talk, Gumbreg smiled widely and quickly carried Suketi's body to the Suketi bedroom located at the end of Oey Yong's brothel.
The heavy rain continued until morning. After the roosters crowed loudly unpretentiously, the rain began to subside. Gumbreg who shifted from his bed, accidentally hit the bedpost to make him wake up from his sleep. Grimacing with pain, Gumbreg immediately looked at Suketi who was completely naked without a thread beside him. Seeing that, Gumbreg immediately realized that he was in Oey Yong's brothel. Slowly she shuffled in her clothes. After settling down, Gumbreg placed 20 pieces of silver on a small table next to the Suketi bedroom. Then Gumbreg immediately stepped towards the bedroom Basingah which is located next to the Suketi room.
Apparently Rajegwesi was awake and already wearing his clothes. Looking at Basingah who was still fast asleep, Rajegwesi immediately put 20 pieces of silver near Basingah's bed before moving out of the bedroom of the brothel. Once outside, Gumbreg stood waiting for Rajegwesi's arrival with his own smile.
"What a good night sleep Si hehehe. Indeed, the service of women is as great as anything?", said Gumbreg while smiling meaningfully.
"Ssttttt... Shut your mouth, Mbreg.. This secret lest anyone know", Rajegwesi stared intently at Gumbreg. After all he was known as one of the high-ranking soldiers who never messed around.
"Aman Si's..
As long as there's a wedge, it's got to be my mouth hehehehe", Gumbreg smiled cunningly.
"Berez.. Now we must return to the palace of the Duchy of Kalingga. Soon we will have to go to Rajapura. Come Mbreg.!", having said so, Rajegwesi immediately stepped out of the brothel owned by Oey Yong followed by Gumbreg. They rushed towards the army barracks to prepare themselves immediately before departure towards the Duchy of Rajapura.
In Kalingga Duchy City Square, thousands of Kalingga soldiers had prepared with full armor and weapons. They were lined up neatly led by a Lurah Warrior or Bekel who each commanded 500 soldiers. There are ten rows of soldiers who appear to be lined up neatly divided into 5 groups led by a Juru.
'Where are Rajegwesi and Gumbreg? If until Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono attended first, they could be nagged from Gusti Pangeran', the inner Tumenggung Ludaka who became the leader of the soldiers with the mask and sword.
Not long after, it was seen Demung Gumbreg and Tumenggung Rajegwesi driving their steeds closer to the ranks of soldiers. Seeing that Ludaka Tumenggung breathed a sigh of relief and immediately approached them by hitting the back of his horse. The horse neighs slowly and walks towards Tumenggung Rajegwesi and Demung Gumbreg.
"Where have you guys been? Tumben once came late", asked Tumenggung Ludaka immediately.
"Ah that's anu Kakang Ludaka, I oversleep his wake.. Last night to stay up late drinking sidhdhu with Gumbreg ", reason Tumenggung Rajegwesi while glancing at Demung Gumbreg as if asking for help to strengthen the reason.
"Yes Lu, Rajegwesi and I mostly drink sidhdhu so wake up late" Gumbreg said immediately.
"Huhhhhh you two are just there. Fortunately, Gusti Prince had not yet arrived. Now quickly check the preparation of your men ", said Tumenggung Ludaka immediately. Hearing that remark, Tumenggung Rajegwesi and Demung Gumbreg immediately nodded and immediately carried out his duties as the leader of the troop group.
As the severed sun rose above the gray-clouded eastern sky, Panji Tejo Laksono who was already wearing his armor came with Luh Jingga, Song Zhao Meng and Ayu Ratna. This time Ayu Ratna did not want to stay again by Panji Tejo Laksono and was determined to follow the steps of the young prince. Tumenggung Ludaka immediately approached the Panji Tejo Laksono who rode black and looked dignified like a king.
"Preparation is ready Gusti Prince. They remain the order to move", reported Tumenggung Ludaka while respecting the Panji Tejo Laksono.
Mmmmmm..
The banner of Tejo Laksono seemed to circulate his gaze towards the soldiers who seemed ready to leave. The eyes of the young prince from Kadiri were fixed on the figure of a soldier who was in the ranks of the sword holders.
'Actually what does he want?', the inner Panji Tejo Laksono who is still staring at the figure of the soldier who appears to bow his face so as not to look directly at Prabu Jayengrana's eldest son. Panji Tejo Laksono chose not to heed the figure dressed as a soldier. Slowly, he raised his right hand up. Seeing that hand signal, a soldier who served as a trumpeter immediately blew the buffalo horn trumpet.
Thhhhuuuuuuutttthh..!!
The low spirits of the soldiers who spoke were instantly silent as the loud sound of buffalo horn trumpets sounded.
"Today we will go to the battlefield to uphold the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Panjalu over Rajapura. Some of us may not survive and return to our families. But on top of that, you will be listed as heroes for the Kingdom of Panjalu forever.
Let us prove to Rajapura, that in this country there are still brave soldiers who are ready to sacrifice their lives for the peace of the Panjalu kingdom!", the loud screams from Panji Tejo Laksono instantly aroused the fighting spirit of the Kalingga soldiers who were now his troops.
"Life Gusti Prince Panji Tejo Laksono..!
Hail Gusti Prabu Jayengrana..!!
Live Panjalu Kingdom!!!"
The zeal-raising cry of one of these Sisters was immediately greeted with vigor by all the soldiers. Soon the troops led by Panji Tejo Laksono left Kalingga City. The dust of the road flew with their fast-moving horse foot steps towards the city of Rajapura in the west.
Panji Tejo Laksono troops pass through the North line that runs along the edge of the Java Sea Coast. Within half a day, they had reached the edge of Kali Comal which became the boundary of the territory between the Duchy of Kalingga and Rajapura.
Two pairs of eyes of Rajapura soldiers hiding in a reconnaissance place located on a large tree continue to watch the movement of the Panji Tejo Laksono troops who began to cross the Kali Comal. One of them immediately went down the stairs and immediately rushed towards a building hidden behind the lush trees of the Kali Comal bull forest. A stocky man with a thick mustache was lying on a wooden cot when the soldier came. Nervously he immediately calmed down in front of the thick-bodied man.
"Gusti Tumenggung.. !! There is a big problem !!
There's a huge army moving towards here!!!"
