The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
The Fight in the Blind Night

Hearing that, Demung Gumbreg immediately looked back and saw the figure of Panji Tejo Laksono already standing there. Soon the high ranking officer of the fattened Panjalu soldier saluted to Panji Tejo Laksono before speaking.

"Please forgive Gusti Prince..

It's like an intruder looking for trouble in our place. His clothes alone are visible if he is Rajapura", said Demung Gumbreg while glancing at Bekel Lumadi who did not dare to move because there is a short sword Tumenggung Ludaka on his neck. The sturdy man was still lying on the ground.

"Do not just accuse me. That's not good. Uncle Ludaka, let the man stand up so that he can freely give an explanation", said Panji Tejo Laksono immediately.

"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Pangeran", Tumenggung Ludaka immediately shifted the position of his short sword and signaled to Bekel Lumadi to stand up. Seeing that signal, Bekel Lumadi slowly started moving from his place and now stood up straight. Under the dimness of the half moonlight that hung in the sky, the Rajapura warrior officer could clearly see the figure of a handsome young man who was referred to as a prince by two people who had just beaten him.

Mmmmmm..

"Now tell me, who are you Kisanak? Why is a blind night like this making a storm in front of the Panjalu warrior barracks?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono with full vigilance.

"Please forgive Gusti..

If I could find out who this Gusti is? Because looking from the way these two officers spoke like his Gusti was an important person in the Panjalu army", Bekel Lumadi asked back. Seeing Bekel Lumadi's disrespectful mannerisms, Demung Gumbreg boarded apitam.

Plllaaaackdickk..

Aaauuuggghhhhh !!

"Now polite, by the way. Where is your manners as a Panjalu ha? Can't you recognize who the next king of Panjalu is? You insolent!", cried Demung Gumbreg after sticking Bekel Lumadi's face hard. Bekel Lumadi complained in pain, his lips were smashed by a hard slap of Gumbreg.

"Eh Uncle Gumbreg, enough! Do not play violence against everyone. However they are also citizens of Panjalu society, so there is no need for you to cassari like that.

Canna, kisaak,

Maybe you don't know who I am yet. I am Panji Tejo Laksono, the eldest son of Kanjeng Romo Prabu Jayengrana from Kadiri. I am the current leader of the Panjalu army", Panji Tejo Laksono stared at Bekel Lumadi with a faint smile. Hearing that remark, Bekel Lumadi immediately crouched down and worshipped at Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Please forgive a thousand mercy Gusti Prince. This foolish and ignorant servant had absolutely no idea that the servant was dealing with the next Yuwaraja Panjalu candidate to have no manners when talking to Gusti Prince. Servants deserve severe punishment", Bekel Lumadi said as he bowed before Panji Tejo Laksono.

"That's it, it doesn't need much custom. Stand up Kisanak.

Now tell me, who are you and what do you want to come here at night like this?", said Panji Tejo Laksono while continuing to pay attention to the movements of Bekel Lumadi. Hearing the order from Panji Tejo Laksono, Bekel Lumadi immediately stood up and slightly lowered his head as he gazed towards Panji Tejo Laksono.

"The name of the servant Lumadi, the rank of servant Bekel in the Rajapura army. The main purpose of I came here is to find Gusti Prince.

We almost all of the soldiers of Rajapura actually do not like the attitude of Gusti Adipati Waramukti. But we as soldiers have to obey the orders given to us. Therefore we ask for help from Gusti Pangeran to free us from following the wrong steps of Gusti Adipati Waramukti", Bekel Lumadi said respectfully.

Mmmmmm..

"So this is the problem? We should not be talking in this place. Uncle Ludaka Uncle Gumbreg, take Bekel Lumadi to the residence of Nyi Sintren to talk more. I will catch up with you later ", Panji Tejo Laksono said soon.

The two Panjalu soldier officers immediately saluted Panji Tejo Laksono and then herded Bekel Lumadi in the direction intended. The banner of Tejo Laksono seemed to circulate his gaze around the place before then following them to the residence of Nyi Sintren. High vigilance is needed to deal with situations like this.

As soon as he arrived at Nyi Sintren's residence, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately asked about what he had just said. In the presence of Panji Tejo Laksono, Mapanji Jayagiri and Senopati Muda Jarasanda, Bekel Lumadi tells all the things that are going on inside the palace of the Duchy of Rajapura.

Hmmmmmm

"So you mean, you want me and the Panjalu soldiers to enter the palace tonight as well?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono after hearing Bekel Lumadi's story.

"True Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono..

The servant's superior, the only high-ranking officer of Rajapura's remaining soldiers, Waruga's Spokesman, wanted Gusti Pangeran to immediately capture Gusti Adipati Waramukti in order to end the suffering of the Rajapura soldiers inside the palace", answer Bekel Lumadi immediately. His eyes were filled with great hopes for his words to be carried out immediately.

"What is your word to believe, Bekel Lumadi? Is it just a ploy to get us into the trap of the Rajapura people?

Sorry I am still in doubt with all your stories" said Senopati Muda Jarasanda as he stared intently at the sturdy man. As the head of the Panjalu army, Senopati Muda Jarasanda who had eaten a lot of bitter war, bitter war, of course he will not easily believe it because after all they have just met and Bekel Lumadi himself is a Rajapura.

"Hamba understood what Gusti Senopati Muda Jarasanda thought.

Therefore the servant himself will be at the forefront of the Panjalu soldiers to enter the Rajapura Palace. Gusti Juru Waruga has been waiting for our arrival there", said Bekel Lumadi while respecting Senopati Muda Jarasanda. Hearing those words, Senopati Muda Jarasanda, Panji Tejo Laksono and Mapanji Jayagiri looked at each other. Seeing the subtle nod of Panji Tejo Laksono's head, the two nodded in understanding.

That night, too, members of the Garuda Panjalu and Lowo Bengi troops who numbered about 3 thousand people plus 2 thousand Panjalu soldiers who were directly under the orders of Tumenggung Sindupraja moved towards the gate of the palace of Rajapura.

In accordance with the words of Bekel Lumadi, the archer soldiers who were on standby above the palace walls who saw their movements just watched without doing anything. As soon as he arrived in front of the gate, Bekel Lumadi immediately knocked on the gate of the palace. Not long after, a cross of the palace gate sounded.

Krrriiiieeeeeeeeetttthhh!!

Once the gate of Rajapura palace opened, Waruga immediately retraced the group of Panji Tejo Laksono troops. Waruga's scribe immediately placed his sword in front of Tejo Laksono's banner as a sign of surrender. The burly man immediately crouched down and worshipped at the Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Greetings to the leader of the Panjalu forces" Waruga said with respect.

From the story Bekel Lumadi, there is still a small part of Rajapura soldiers who are still loyal to the Duke of Waramukti. Where are they?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono as he looked towards Juru Waruga.

"Please forgive Gusti Prince..

Rajapura soldiers who are still loyal to the Duke of Waramukti are placed around the private room of the Duke of Waramukti behind the Grand Duchy of Rajapura. All of them are about 2 thousand soldiers standing guard there", replied Waruga immediately.

Mmmmmm..

"Dhimas Jayagiri, Uncle Gumbreg, Uncle Landung, Uncle Purusoma..

You spread out all over this side of the palace. Secure every weapon and the soldiers of Rajapura who side with us. Bring the soldiers of Uncle Sindupraja with you", the order of Panji Tejo Laksono that made the four high-ranking officers of Panjalu soldiers immediately rushed to move according to the instructions of Panji Tejo Laksono.

The rest of the troops along with Panji Tejo Laksono, Senopati Muda Jarasanda, Tumenggung Ludaka and Tumenggung Rajegwesi moved quickly towards the private room of the Duke of Waramukti with Bekel Lumadi and Juru Waruga as the guide.

A soldier guarding the private room of the Duke of Waramukti who saw their arrival immediately stood up from his seat. But he had not had time to shout, an arrow shot quickly towards him.

Shrrriinnggg !!

Chfreeppppphi..

Aaauuuggghhhhh !!

The soldier guarding the bedroom of Duke Waramukti immediately roared loudly before docking to the ground. Seeing his friend fall down, his other friend immediately rose up. One of them immediately grabbed the fist and immediately hit the fart as quickly as possible.

"There's an intruder..!!!

Quickly standby....!!!!"

Thong thoonggg...

Titir kentongan perlalu it immediately makes the whole Palace of the Duchy of Rajapura awake from their sleep. The soldiers of the Duke of Waramukti's bedroom guards immediately unsheathed their weapons and the battle in that blind night soon broke out.

Duke Waramukti who woke up from his deep sleep immediately rushed towards the courtyard of his private place and saw a fierce fight between the soldiers of Panjalu and Rajapura who were loyal to him. Among the Panjalu soldiers, he saw the figure of Waruga and Bekel Lumadi was near Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Basic traitor!!

Alida, Lumadi! You are really people who do not know the return of the favor. Regretting I did not kill someone like you yesterday!", cried Duke Waramukti as he glared at Waruga and Bekel Lumadi.

"They both realize that following your wrong steps will only harm the people, Waramukti..

Surrender now! You have no chance to run away again ", said Panji Tejo Laksono while smiling faintly at Duke Waramukti.

"Bedebah Jayengrana's henchmen..

I will take you and face the God of Death!", having said so, Duke Waramukti immediately pulled out his keris and darted quickly towards Panji Tejo Laksono.

Shreetthhh...

A quick snapshot of the heirloom keris in the hands of Duke Waramukti eyeing him the neck of Panji Tejo Laksono. The young prince from Kadiri did not budge in the slightest from where he stood until the heirloom's keris hit hard on the prince's neck. But one strange thing happened.

Thhraaaanggggg !!

The eyes of Duke Waramukti widened after seeing his heirloom keris unable to scratch the skin of the neck Panji Tejo Laksono which was covered by a golden yellow light. Because still curious, Duke Waramukti again blasting his heirloom keris to other body parts of the Panji Tejo Laksono, but the results are the same. Even the young prince from Kadiri smiled broadly at the behavior of the Duke of Waramukti.

Seeing the stab of his heirloom keris is not effective, Duke Waramukti immediately jumped backwards. He immediately threw his heirloom keris onto the ground.

He immediately cupped his palms in front of his chest after stretching wide to the left and right sides. A bright red ray immediately covered the entire palm of Duke Waramukti. While shouting loudly, the Duke of Waramukti immediately slammed his right hand palm towards the Panji Tejo Laksono who remained motionless from where he stood.

"Cadas Ngampar's...

Chhiyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaat..!!"

A bright red ray immediately shot towards Panji Tejo Laksono and directly hit the young prince from Kadiri's body.

Bllaammmmmmmmm !!

A massive explosion was heard along with thick smoke covering the entire body of Panji Tejo Laksono. Seeing that, Duke Waramukti smiled widely as he said,

"Could you be a bastard!"
