The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
Rajapura is the Opponent

The thick mustache-bodied man immediately got up from his tambourine and stared at the soldier as he asked, "Didn't you recognize their clothes?".

"Although Gusti Tumenggung, if you see from the jarit clothes that are patterned red machete like his they came from the Duchy of Kalingga.

But a few hundred people wore the purplish blue jar that was characteristic of the people of Daha Palace", the soldier reported respectfully.

Mmmmmm ...

"Then, they must be Kalinga people who follow orders from Daha. You immediately went to Pakuwon Getas to report to Tumenggung Gurunwangi. I'll try to buy some time around this place. Immediately depart!", ordered the thick-bodied man with a thick mustache named Tumenggung Jagatirta.

"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Tumenggung", finished honoring, the reconnaissance soldier of the Duchy of Rajapura immediately jumped on a horse and kicked the runner towards Pakuwon Getas.

After seeing the sender of his message leave, Tumenggung Jagatirta immediately ordered his men to prepare to face the Kalingga soldiers who are now the troops of Panji Tejo Laksono.

With the strength of 2 thousand people, they used the hilly Kali Comal bull to trap the Panji warriors Tejo Laksono who were crossing the river. Those who have been trained directly occupy positions that have been determined before.

Panji Tejo Laksono who rode the front, immediately raised his right hand up when he was about to reach the edge of Kali Comal to the west. The rocky river crossing looks deserted and this raises suspicion of the place. The entire army stopped their horse footstep as soon as it saw the right hand gesture of the prince.

Tumenggung Ludaka rushed to the Panji Tejo Laksono who was circulating his gaze to the small hills that flank the road to the west. His sharp eyes saw some people peering out from behind the lush trees that grew in the small hills of the Comal's bull.

"What's Gusti Prince? Why stop at the edge of times like this?", asked Tumenggung Ludaka immediately. Tumenggung Rajegwesi, Demung Gumbreg and Rakryan Purusoma soon approached the Panji Tejo Laksono.

"His cup is there to welcome us to Rajapura, Uncle Ludaka.

Uncle Ludaka, prepare the sightseeing troops for the road ahead. Protect our comrades with their iron shields. Remember to always be vigilant. Wait for the noise to be heard first, then uncle lead them forward.

Uncle Rajegwesi, take your troops around the hill on the right, comb each side of the hill because it looks like they're putting archer soldiers over there.

Uncle Gumbreg, turn the hill on the left. Looking at the lower left side hill, they must have set up a large stone and logs trap there. You'll kill them if you fight.

Uncle Purusoma, set the supply soldier section at the very back. Try every opponent's attack, not to damage our supplies in the slightest.

Do you understand?", Panji Tejo Laksono stared at the four Panjalu soldier officers immediately.

"We understand Gusti Prince", replied the four men while respecting the Panji Tejo Laksono. Immediately Tumenggung Rajegwesi led his group of troops moving to the right side, while Demung Gumbreg led his troops moving to the left side.

The breakup of the soldiers of the Panji Tejo Laksono forces made the soldiers of Rajapura led by Tumenggung Jagatirta confused. Despite being vigilant, they did not dare to act because they had not received orders.

Panji Tejo Laksono immediately brought his horse to Luh Jingga, Song Zhao Meng aka Dewi Wulandari and Ayu Ratna.

"Three of you be careful..

There's a group of Rajapura soldiers waiting for us to get into their trap. Now it's time to be smart with them. Try to always be together and protect each other" Panji Tejo Laksono said with a faint smile.

The three beautiful girls immediately nodded in understanding. Seeing their compactness, Panji Tejo Laksono looked pleased. A wisp of thin white smoke slowly covered the entire body of the Panji Tejo Laksono a sign that the young prince was using Ajian Halimun and a blink of an eye later, the prince said, the young prince from Kadiri has disappeared from the eyes of the three beautiful girls.

"Sometimes I don't realize that our man is an extraordinary man. I am proud to be one of the women" Luh Jingga said with a big smile when she saw Panji Tejo Laksono disappear.

"You're right, Brother Luh..

We are lucky to be able to get his heart and willing to accept us as his life companion", Song Zhao Meng aka Dewi Wulandari later added.

"You are right ..

Therefore we must also be able to help her in facing whatever is the barrier to her every goal. Let's prove to Kangmas Prince Tejo Laksono that we are not a burden to him", after saying so, Ayu Ratna immediately pulled out the short sword on his waist. Song Zhao Meng immediately turned her palm, preparing to fight alongside Luh Jingga who was tightly grasping the hilt of her sword.

The Rajapura soldiers who were stalking the Kalingga soldiers did not expect that suddenly Panji Tejo Laksono appeared beside them. Not to lose their surprise, Panji Tejo Laksono who used Ajian Sepi Wind and the Fire God Tread immediately went on a rampage by launching his attack.

Whuuuggghh..

Blllaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrr blllaammmmmmm!!

Four Rajapura soldiers shouted loudly in pain after being hit by a yellowish red light released by the Panji Tejo Laksono. The others directly threw their spears towards Panji Tejo Laksono but the speed of the young prince's body movement was too high, not their match. Two other Rajapura soldiers were immediately knocked down by Ajian Tapak Dewa Api, and soon the commotion disrupted the trap set by Tumenggung Jagatirta.

Hundreds of Rajapura soldiers are trying hard to help their friend who is facing the rampage of Panji Tejo Laksono.

But at the same time, hundreds of Kalinga soldiers led by Tumenggung Rajegwesi released their arrows to resist the movement of Rajapura soldiers who were about to besiege Panji Tejo Laksono. The war broke out on the right hill.

The clanking of clashing weapons sounded loudly along with the loud screams of those who were dying. Fresh blood flowed out from the wounds and body parts that were cut off by sharp weapons.

Along with that, the soldiers under the leadership of Tumenggung Ludaka and Rakryan Purusoma began to move across the road. The soldiers of Rajapura who had been chaotic with the outbreak of a fierce fight on the right of the hill, were about to release the big stone trap they had prepared. One person moved quickly and unleashed one big stone trap. No one else had time to act, Demung Gumbreg's troops who had just arrived immediately charged forward towards them. The battle on the left side was soon.

Butenggung Jagatirta who saw Panji Tejo Laksono rampaging, furious not playing. He immediately pulled out the heirloom dagger on his waist and jumped towards the young prince while thrusting his dagger into his back.

Tejo Laksono's watchful banner immediately twitched from the attack and slammed his left palm towards Tumenggung Jagatirta. A strip of yellowish red light shot quickly towards the high officer of the Rajapura soldier. Jagatirta's butcher immediately dropped to the ground, avoiding the impact of Ajian Tread of the Fire God released by the Panji Tejo Laksono who threatened his life.

Bllaaaammmmmmm..!!

A tree that grew on a small hill on the banks of Kali Comal was immediately exploded and collapsed after being exposed to red light Ajian Tread of the Fire God issued by Panji Tejo Laksono.

Immediately Tumenggung Jagatirta treaded the ground hard and again swung the heirloom dagger in his right hand towards the chest of Panji Tejo Laksono. The close-quarters fight was fierce.

However, Tumenggung Jagatirta is not an opponent that is commensurate with the empty-handed martial ability of the young prince. Using the Science of White Silat, Panji Tejo Laksono serves the attack of the Tumenggung Jagatirta attack that targets the point of death.

Jagatirta's butcher who had just avoided Panji Tejo Laksono's punch, lowered his body while doing a circular hard kick that targeted the calf of Panji Tejo Laksono's right foot.

Whhhuuuggghhh !

With one loud bang, the Panji Tejo Laksono bounced high into the air and landed two spears behind Tumenggung Jagatirta. Seeing that, Jagatirta's tumenggung immediately shot towards Tejo Laksono's Panji but the young prince moved faster in a convoluted manner while slamming his right hand which was in a high level of energy towards the Rajapura soldier's officer. Having no room to dodge, Tumenggung Jagatirta immediately crossed his dagger to the front of his chest to withstand the hit of Panji Tejo Laksono's right hand.

Blllaaaaaaaaaaarrrrr!

The thick body of the Rajapura soldier officer slammed backward and suckled the ground hard. Fresh blood flowed out from the corner of the lip of the Thumenggung Jagatirta a sign that he had suffered internal injuries. While snorting loudly, Tumenggung Jagatirta rose from the place of fall and rubbed the remaining blood on his lips violently.

"I admit you're great, young man.. But don't be happy, Jagatirta hasn't lost!".

After saying so, Tumenggung Jagatirta immediately commited to cast a spell. His body suddenly let out a pitch-black smoke smelling a terrifying blood rancid rancor. This is Ajian Gondo Mayit which is the mainstay of canuragan science. A science that if struck on the body of the opponent, will make the body of the opponent rot and die.

Seeing that, Panji Tejo Laksono smiled faintly as he closed his eyes for a moment. A bluish green ray enveloped the entire body of the Panji Tejo Laksono in the eerie cold. This is Ajian Waringin Sungsang, a teaching of Warok Surapati in-law of his father from Wengker. Apparently he intended to pit his kanuragan science with the science of the Tumenggung Jagatirta.

"Young man!!

Prepare to meet Lord Yama in hell!!", shouted Tumenggung Jagatirta who immediately shot towards Panji Tejo Laksono while smashing into the chest of the young prince who did not budge even from where he stood.

Bhhuuuummmmm!!

Strangely so that the palm of the Tumenggung Jagatirta covered in black mist reeked of blood rancid about the chest of Panji Tejo Laksono, the palms were like tightly attached to the skin of the prince. Slowly all the energy in the Jagatirta Sculpture is like being sucked by the body of Panji Tejo Laksono covered by a bluish green light.

The pain that immediately struck the body of Tumenggung Jagatirta made this Rajapura army officer try to escape from Ajian Waringin Sungsang which now binds him. She screamed loudly because of the pain that gnawed her entire body.

AAAARRGGGGGGGHHH!!!

Slowly his eyes spewed out fresh blood. His nose, ears and mouth also continued to bleed. Slowly the body of Tumenggung Jagatirta blackened and dried up because Ajian Waringin Sungsang sucked out its inner power and life force.

When the internal energy and life force of Tumenggung Jagatirta is exhausted, Panji Tejo Laksono directly hit his palms towards the chest of Tumenggung Jagatirta.

Hiyyyaaaaaaat...

Bllaammmmmmmmm !!

The thick body of the Rajapura soldier officer exploded and was crushed to ashes after the Tejo Laksono Panji hit him. Everyone who saw the incident shuddered in horror gazing towards Panji Tejo Laksono who looked like a god ravaging demons from hell.

It did not take long for the Kalinga soldiers to subdue the Rajapura soldiers. Losing numbers and losing their leadership, the remaining Rajapura soldiers chose to flee. Almost 1700 Rajapura soldiers led by Tumenggung Jagatirta were killed in their efforts to block the movement of Panji Tejo Laksono troops. The Kali Comal Pillow is a silent witness to the civil war in western Panjalu.

The banner of Tejo Laksono still set its breath after a fierce fight with Tumenggung Jagatirta as Tumenggung Ludaka approached him to report on the current state of their troops. A total of 400 soldiers were killed in this battle and another two hundred were heavily and lightly wounded. The number of high-scientific officers became the cause of the small number of deaths on the side of the Panji Tejo Laksono troops.

Hearing the report, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately ordered his soldiers to bury the bodies of their comrades in arms, as for the bodies of the soldiers Rajapura collected in one place and burned so as not to become a nest of disease. While the others he rested after the battle on the banks of the Kali Comal as well as to treat the wounded soldiers.

That night, Panji Tejo Laksono troops spent the night in Bantaran Kali Comal before continuing their journey towards Rajapura City.

A thin man drove his horse as fast as possible towards Pakuwon Getas where the second-tier stronghold of the Rajapura rebels was built. He was the messenger of Tumenggung Jagatirta who was assigned to report the movement of other soldiers from different directions to the city of Rajapura.

As soon as it entered the small forest area east of the Getas Defense Fortress, a silvery-white dagger shot rapidly towards its neck.

Shhrriiiiiiinnnggg...

Freeeppppppphh.. Aaauuugggghhhh!!!

The messenger from Tumenggung Jagatirta immediately screamed loudly and fell from the back of his horse to the streets. He twitched violently for a moment before remaining silent forever. From behind the lush trees, two shadows darted quickly towards the figure of the messenger Tumenggung Jagatirta who was dead with a dagger stuck in his throat.

One of the shadowy figures immediately pulled out the dagger from the messenger's neck and rubbed the remaining blood on the dagger on the messenger's shirt which was now drenched in blood.

"It looks like he's a messenger from Rajapura, Kangmbok.. Just look at his clothes", said a black shadow figure who was none other than Mapanji Jayagiri while pointing towards the jarit in the use of the dead soldier. Hearing that, the shadowy figure of the woman who was none other than Gayatri smiled wryly as she said,

"For now, all Rajapura soldiers are opponents! "
