The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
Prince Ganeshabrata

Tens of thousands of Panjalu soldiers immediately moved forward as soon as they heard the cue from their leader. In divided into several smaller groups, they move like a flood that is ready to sweep away anything that passes through it.

Tumenggung Lamuri of Muria who led the foot soldiers of Panjalu from the left was a little surprised to see some Jenggala soldiers began to burn some piles of dried reeds that seemed to have been prepared beforehand. The fire quickly burned the leaves of the dry reeds and various branches of the tree which resulted in the appearance of smoke blocking the eyes.

This is quite able to make the concentration of Panjalu soldiers under the leadership of Tumenggung Lamuri disturbed. But they still moved forward towards the large camp barracks of the Jenggala soldiers. But when they almost approached the camp barracks, suddenly..

Shrrrrionnggg shhrriegg shhrriegg!!

Hundreds of arrows were fired from behind the Jenggala soldiers who were on guard. The soldiers of Panjalu who were obstructed by the thick smoke that covered the sky could not see the danger that threatened him.

But the sharp eyes of Tumenggung Lamuri could see something was moving rapidly towards his troops. He immediately shouted loudly.

"An arrow!! The arrows!!!

Make protection! Cepaattttt!!", shouted Tumenggung Lamuri as he grabbed the shield hanging on the left side of his horse riding saddle and raised it high overhead for cover.

The Panjalu soldiers under his command quickly followed the lead. They instantly stopped their steps and crouched down while raising the iron shield to take cover from the rain of arrows eyeing their lives.

Thrraaanngggggg..

Jcfleeeeeppppphh ...

Aaaarrrgggghhhhh!!!

Who are quick to respond to this change of movement, safe by taking shelter behind an iron shield. But several hundred soldiers who were not alert, immediately became a victim of the rain of arrows released by the soldiers Jenggala. Screams of pain and fresh blood became a terrifying sight among the Panjalu soldiers.

As soon as the rain of arrows stopped, Tumenggung Dananjaya who became the leader on the left side of the Jenggala soldiers immediately drew his sword and shouted loudly.

"Majuuu...!!!

Finish them all!!!"

The Jenggala soldiers who heard the command of the high officer from Kotaraja Kahuripan immediately moved forward towards the Panjalu soldiers who were still sheltering behind their iron shield. A fierce battle soon ensued between them.

The loud sounds of sharp weapons clashing followed by the screams of pain from those who met their end were instantly heard from the fierce battle.

Tumenggung Lamuri who became the leader in the left region armed with a sword and his shield immediately jumped from the back of his horse and slashed the neck of one of the Jenggala soldiers in front of him.

Chhrrrrraaaaaassss..

Aaauuugggghhhhh!!!

The ill-fated Jenggala soldier was immediately killed with his neck almost severed by the sword of Tumenggung Lamuri. The high-ranking officer of Panjalu warrior who was good at using his sword and shield instantly went berserk, slaughtering every single Jenggala warrior who tried to block his path.

For a moment, his armor was already red due to the fresh blood spurting from every Jenggala soldier who was his victim.

Tumenggung Dananjaya who saw it, quickly spur his horse to approach Tumenggung Lamuri. The high officer of the Jenggala warrior immediately jumped high into the air and quickly thrust the spear that became his mainstay weapon towards the high officer of the Panjalu warrior.

Whhuuuuuggg!!

The wary Lamuri Tumenggung quickly used his iron shield to block the spear thrust that led to his body.

Thhraaaanggg!!!

The strength of the inner energy channeled through the spearhead of Tumenggung Dananjaya forced Tumenggung Lamuri back several steps. Slowly Tumenggung Lamuri lowered his iron shield and stared intently at Tumenggung Dananjaya.

"So you're the current leader of the Jenggala army?", asked Tumenggung Lamuri immediately.

"Whoever is our leader, who will obviously destroy you. Prepare to die!", replied Tumenggung Dananjaya as he darted towards Tumenggung Lamuri while again thrusting his spear.

Thhraaaangggggggg!!

The fierce battle between the sword-wielding Tumenggung Lamuri and his shield against the spear-wielding Tumenggung Dananjaya was fierce. Both have a high martial ability to be able to defend and attack well.

On the other side of the battle, the Panjalu soldiers led by Tumenggung Purubaya of Muria who led the Panjalu forces from the right wing continued to advance towards the defense of the Jenggala soldiers controlled by Rakryan Gading from Pasuruhan.

While on the middle side is seen Tumenggung Sajiwan who leads the Jenggala army. Beside him a young man who looked like a noble was seen sitting quietly on his horse mount while watching the battles of the Panjalu and Jenggala warriors.

"Gusti Prince Ganeshabrata, what is our next move?", asked Tumenggung Sajiwan as he continued to look towards his soldiers who were fighting desperately against the Panjalu warriors.

"You take it easy, Tumenggung Sajiwan..

Let's see the direction of our opponent's movement. If they change their wyuha, then I have prepared a surprise for them" said the young man, who was called Prince Ganeshabrata. Tumenggung Sajiwan did not ask anymore and nodded in understanding.

Yes, he is Prince Ganeshabrata. Prabu Samarotsaha's son-in-law from Blambangan who married the king's second daughter Jenggala named Dewi Rukmini. Just at midnight last night, the entourage of Prince Ganeshabrata came with his followers. Soon after arriving, Prince Ganeshabrata arranged the preparations of the Jenggala warriors by setting up some backup plans.

It is said, Prince Ganeshabrata is the son of Prabu Menak Luhur who was removed from Blambangan after the death of King Blambangan was after a fierce battle against the Panjalu soldiers under the leadership of Panji Tejo Laksono in Kali Lawor.

The next ruler of Blambangan is the younger brother of Prabu Menak Luhur who holds the title Prabu Menak Linggo. Fearing Prince Ganeshabrata would be a thorn in the flesh for his reign, Prabu Menak Linggo betrothed Prince Ganeshabrata to princess Prabu Samarotsaha as a delicate step to rid this young prince of the throne of Blambangan Kingdom.

But it's not as easy as imagined. Prince Ganeshabrata of Kahuripan began to devise a plan to overthrow the government of Prabu Menak Linggo in a subtle but deadly manner. He instigated the regional rulers in the Blambangan region to help him overthrow the throne of the kingdom which is now occupied by his own uncle.

For many years he composed the power until a few full moon ago, the people of Blambangan rebelled against their king. The Blambangan palace troops were helpless against this rebellion. Almost all of the high court officials were killed by rebel leaders who were high-scientific warriors. Prabu Menak Linggo himself managed to escape the siege at Blambangan palace. But the existence of the deposed king himself is still a mystery because he disappeared without a trace.

Returning to the war charade, the Panjalu army changed their movements. If previously they used the war title Wyuha Supit Urang, at the proposal of Tumenggung Landung who escorted Mapanji Jayagiri and Wanyan Lan, the middle end of the wyuha turned into a forward piercing motion until they used the war title Wyuha Vajra.

Slowly but surely, Panjalu's forces began to damage the defenses of the Jenggala soldiers. Prince Ganeshabrata snorted loudly seeing this change of movement.

"This is your way of defeating us.

Don't be arrogant, Wong Panjalu! I still have a secret weapon to defeat you!", cried Prince Ganeshabrata as he turned to one of his bodyguards.

Prrriiiiiiiittt....!!!

There was the sound of a long whistle from the person who was stared at by Prince Ganeshabrata. The loud sound of a long whistle made of bamboo reed shocked everyone.

From the North and South sides of the camp were heavily forested, thousands of warriors who were followers of Prince Ganeshabrata pounded their horses with unsheathed weapons. This immediately shocked Mapanji Jayagiri, Wanyan Lan and Tumenggung Landung who led the Panjalu forces from the middle of wyuha.

"Buckle Gusti Prince!!

We are surrounded by them" said Tumenggung Landung frantically seeing the arrival of thousands of warriors who became followers of Prince Ganeshabrata.

"Then the way, it is better to directly stab into the ranks of Jenggala soldiers, Uncle Tumenggung Landung. We kill their leader so they'll scatter his war spirit. Come Uncle, we must hurry" said Mapanji Jayagiri as he spurred his horse forward into the middle of the battle.

Wanyan Lan and Tumenggung Landung soon followed the lead of the main army of Panjalu. Using their horses, they instantly ransacked the defenses of the Jenggala warriors.

Anyone who wants to block the path of Mapanji Jayagiri, immediately killed hit by sabetage of his butut sword which is the legacy of Dewi Naganingrum.

Chhrrrraaaaaass!!

The slash of the young prince's butute sword from Kadiri continued to slaughter the Jenggala warriors. The butut sword of the young prince from Kadiri was already bathed in fresh blood.

Not wanting the victim of the young prince's butut sword to continue to grow, Tumenggung Sajiwan directly drove his horse without waiting for approval from Prince Ganeshabrata towards Mapanji Jayagiri. The high officer of the Jenggala warrior immediately pulled out his sword and jumped towards Jayagiri Mapanji while blasting his sword.

Shhrreeettthhh!!

Thhrrriiiiiiinnnggg!!

The sabetan sword was immediately diketis quickly by Mapanji Jayagiri by lowering his body to the back of his horse. The prince of Kadiri quickly jumped down from his horse while staring intently at Tumenggung Sajiwan who landed not far from him.

The high-ranking officer of the Jenggala warrior immediately turned around and observed the young prince while smiling mockingly.

"Panjalu apparently had run out of officers yes to send a boy yesterday afternoon to lead the army.

Absolutely embarrassing!", said Tumenggung Sajiwan immediately.

"Shameful or not, it's none of your business hey Wong Jenggala!!

If you who have smelled the ground really have the ability to lead the troops, why is your troops even in disarray against our troops ha?", replied Mapanji Jayagiri with a faint smile.

"Bad! That kid yesterday afternoon was arrogant!!

I will make you regret for daring to lead an army against us", shouted Tumenggung Sajiwan as he darted towards Mapanji Jayagiri.

Rapid attacks repeatedly launched by the high officer of the Jenggala soldier towards the third prince of the Kingdom of Panjalu.

Thhraaaangggggggg!!

Whhuuuuuggh...

Dhhaaaassshhh dhhaaassshhh!!

Tumenggung Sajiwan receded a few steps after clashing with Mapanji Jayagiri who also retreated 2 steps. The high officer of the Jenggala warrior snorted loudly then his index and middle fingers of his left hand immediately rubbed his sword blade. A red spray was created on the sword blade of Tumenggung Sajiwan.

After the red light was created, quickly Tumenggung Sajiwan directly thrust his sword towards Mapanji Jayagiri.

"The Sky-Splitting Sword...

Hiiyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaat...!!!"

A thin red light bar immediately shot towards Jayagiri Mapanji. The young prince from Kadiri immediately traced the ground violently and then bounced high into the air avoiding the reddish thin light from the sword of Tumenggung Sajiwan.

Using both hands, Mapanji Jayagiri immediately slid down towards his opponent while blazing his butut sword which was now covered by a yellowish blue light. Seeing the rapid attack, Tumenggung Sajiwan immediately raised his sword, fending off the Mapanji Jayagiri sword.

Thhraaaaugwagngg ...

Mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

Loud explosions were heard as the two weapons fired by the high-level science of canuragan collided. Mapanji Jayagiri slammed backwards but quickly gained control and landed on the ground with a single hoe propping up the body.

While Tumenggung Sajiwan himself fell down and dragged backwards almost two spears away to the back. This Jenggala warrior officer from Galuh End immediately vomited fresh blood.

Seeing that, Mapanji Jayagiri got up from his spot and immediately brandished his sword towards the opponent while saying,

"Let's continue, Hi Wong Jenggala!!"
