The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
Choices

The death of Patih Krendawahana which was one of the main pillars in the Duke of Waramukti's rebellion against Prabu Jayengrana's power made the mental competition of the Rajapura soldiers collapse.

In addition, a large army led by Senopati Gopala has been pushed back into the City. The soldiers of Rajapura were getting more and more frightened.

Duke Waramukti who realized that he had been defeated by the soldiers of Panjalu, immediately shouted loudly.

"Everyone retreats into the palace!"

Started by the Duke of Waramukti, some of the remaining Rajapura army officers directly entered the palace of the Duchy of Rajapura which was their last defense in the face of the onslaught of Panjalu troops.

.

The Panjalu army officers did not want to let them get away with it just trying to catch up. But the archer soldiers who had been in vain on the walls of the palace of Rajapura immediately carried out their duties.

Shrrriinnggg shhrriegg !!

Hundreds of arrows shot quickly towards the Panjalu soldiers who were about to chase the Rajapura soldiers into the palace.

"Review the arrow attack!!"

The loud screams of Tumenggung Ludaka made the Panjalu soldiers who were about to hunt the rebels immediately raised their shields to take shelter from the rain of arrows released by the archers.

Chhreeppppppph!!

Hundreds of arrows released by the soldiers of Rajapura make foot steps Panjalu soldiers under the leadership of Panji Tejo Laksono stopped until the rebels who fled into the palace survived the chase after closing the palace gate.

"Hold everything..!!

No one comes near the walls of Rajapura's palace!"

Panji Tejo Laksono's words immediately made the movement of all Panjalu soldiers under his leadership immediately stop moving. They all turned their heads towards Panji Tejo Laksono who seemed to look towards the palace of the Duchy of Bojonegoro which looks towering with the palace walls made of bricks.

"Gusti Prince, what should we do? We can't just let them get away with it, right?", asked Tumenggung Ludaka immediately.

"True Kangmas Tejo Laksono..

The rebels must be severely punished for daring to undermine the authority of the central government in Kadiri Kangmas. We must not remain silent ", said Mapanji Jayagiri as he looked towards his eldest brother immediately.

Mmmmmm...

"We just have to wait a little while, Jayagiri..

Wait a few more moments ", Panji Tejo Laksono smiled meaningfully at Mapanji Jayagiri who was surprised by the attitude of his eldest brother.

"Waiting for what else Kangmas? If we waste time, they will prepare various kinds of plans to escape from us. Let's go attack immediately...."

Speech Mapanji Jayagiri immediately cut off because from the south, thousands of Panjalu soldiers under the leadership of Senopati Agung Narapraja and Mapanji Jayawarsa moved towards them.

As soon as he arrived near the place where Panji Tejo Laksono and the leaders of Panjalu soldiers at that place, Mapanji Jayawarsa looked surprised not to play.

"Kangmas Tejo Laksono??

B-how can he be here?", muttered Mapanji Jayawarsa softly but still quite clearly in the ears of people around him.

While Senopati Agung Narapraja and Senopati Muda Jarasanda immediately jumped down from his horse and rushed towards Panji Tejo Laksono was so see the whereabouts of the eldest son Prabu Jayengrana. The two high officials of the Kingdom of Panjalu immediately crouched down and worshiped at the Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Our devotion, Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono", said the compact of two high-ranking Panjalu soldiers simultaneously.

"Wake up uncle two. Do not be too much customary in a big war like this", said Panji Tejo Laksono who made the two high-ranking officers of Panjalu soldiers immediately rose from the place of worship.

Mapanji Jayawarsa also with ogah-ogahan down from his horse and walked closer to Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Greetings to Kangmas Tejo Laksono. I was really shocked to see the appearance of Kangmas in this place. How does the story of Kangmas Tejo Laksono who is on duty in China can get to this place?", asked Mapanji Jayawarsa immediately.

"The story of Dhimas.. If there's a good time, I'll tell you everything.

"We don't have to bother wasting any more time, Kangmas Tejo Laksono..

We're just gonna attack them now. They've been squeezed like a rat in the corner of the room" Mapanji Jayawarsa said. Panji Tejo Laksono immediately smiled faintly at the words of his half-brother.

"If you really feel like that why don't you do it, Dhimas?

The walls of Rajapura palace are high enough to jump over, while on the wall there are hundreds of Rajapura archer soldiers ready to release his arrows. Are you ready to lose many Panjalu soldiers just for success that is not necessarily certain?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono who immediately made Mapanji Jayawarsa silent a thousand languages. After thinking for a moment, Mapanji Jayawarsa immediately spoke slowly.

"I'm not ready if Kanjeng Romo Prabu Jayengrana asks Kangmas. For the next, let Kangmas Tejo Laksono lead the Panjalu army. Isn't it better, Uncle Senopati Narapraja?", Mapanji Jayawarsa immediately turned to Senopati Agung Narapraja who was still in his place.

"Hamba agreed with Gusti Pangeran Mapanji Jayawarsa, Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono..

The experience of Gusti Prince Panji Tejo Laksono in the war against the soldiers Blambangan first, will certainly be very useful to face the challenge of the Rajapura rebels", Senopati Agung Narapraja immediately agreed with the opinion of Mapanji Jayawarsa.

"I also agree that Kangmas Tejo Laksono is in charge..

With a small number of soldiers, Kangmas Tejo Laksono can break the defenses of the Rajapura rebels on the east side. Especially with this number of soldiers, surely Kangmas Tejo Laksono can already bring home the victory for Kadiri ", said Mapanji Jayagiri with a big smile. Hearing that remark, everyone nodded in understanding.

"Alright if you all agree I'm leading this army.

Now everyone, we surround this Duchy of Rajapura! Do not let the ants escape the supervision of all of you!", the order of Panji Tejo Laksono immediately made everyone answer out loud.

"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Prince!!"

After that, all members of the Panjalu soldiers immediately made a posse with a distance of about a hundred fathoms from the walls of the palace of Rajapura to surround the Duchy of Rajapura from various sides. Hundreds of Panjalu soldiers led by Tumenggung Landung combed through the entire city of Rajapura in search of Rajapura soldiers' hideout. The Rajapura soldiers who were captured by the Panjalu soldiers were then brought before the Tejo Laksono Panji to get a trial.

In front of the palace gate, Panji Tejo Laksono used the house of a resident named Nyi Sintren to be used as a center for siege activities of the Duchy of Rajapura. From there all tactics were arranged in such a way that the Duke of Waramukti who was still in the palace of Rajapura could surrender.

While outside the walls of the palace of Rajapura already surrounded by Panjalu troops under the leadership of Panji Tejo Laksono, inside the palace of Rajapura itself, the Duke of Waramukti seemed to sit restlessly on the throne of the Duchy of Rajapura.

In front of Mantri Dharmadyaksa Mpu Supala, Mantri Pamgat Mpu Warma and Juru Waruga, the three remaining Rajapura palace officials are seen sitting cross-legged on the floor of the Grand Duchy of Rajapura. They were silent a thousand languages with their heads lowered towards the grand pendopo floor. The death of Patih Krendawahana at the hands of Panji Tejo Laksono and Senopati Gopala at the hands of Senopati Agung Narapraja really dealt a blow to their spirit to win this war.

Mmmmmm...

There was a sound of a long breath from the Duke of Waramukti before starting to speak after being silent since then just thinking hard how to get away from the soldiers of Panjalu.

"Mpu Supala's..

Usually you have a lot of good thoughts for all problems. Now try to tell me, what do you think of our current situation?", Duke Waramukti stared at Mpu Supala who was sitting to the right of the throne.

"Please forgive Gusti Adipati...

For the moment I can't think straight. The death of Patih Krendawahana, which we argue as the main support of Gusti Adipati Waramukti's intention to rebel against Prabu Jayengrana's power, was right outside the expectations of the servant.

In addition, the number of our soldiers in this palace is also no more than 5 thousand soldiers consisting of two thousand archer soldiers and 3 thousand combat soldiers. While the reserves of food and clean water for us now in the palace is only enough to last for 1 week Gusti Adipati. This is why the servant is really confused to behave how ", Mpu Supala worshiped the Duke of Waramukti.

"Then, cut our soldiers' rations to 2 times a day so that we have more time to survive in this palace, Mpu Supala..

Waruga,

How is the situation outside the palace now?", Duke Waramukti turned his attention to Waruga, the only high-ranking officer of Rajapura soldiers who was still alive because he managed to escape death when dealing with Ayu Ratna. Three of his other friends, Demung Kingkin, Juru Mondo and Bekel Gupati, were killed by Gayatri, Song Zhao Meng and Luh Jingga, respectively.

"Please forgive Gusti Adipati..

The entire palace of the Duchy of Rajapura has been besieged by Panjalu's forces. Now they are led by a young man who killed Patih Krendawahana earlier. If not mistakenly heard he was a prince from Daha named Panji Tejo Laksono.

All sides of their palaces were so tight that no one could escape their attention. Servant think our choice is only two Gusti Adipati ", Waruga respected the Duke of Waramukti as soon as ending his report.

Hmmmmmm

"What is Waruga? Quickly tell me", the Duke of Waramukti seemed so enthusiastic to hear the words of the high officer of the Rajapura soldier. Waruga re-worshiped to Duke Waramukti before speaking,

"Missing or starving to death in the palace".
