THE SUN GOD SWORD

“What is the name of our group?” Ask Senopati Dirga.
“What?” Mahesa.
“We must have a name that can be remembered,” Dirga continued. “Everyone has a name, we will leave this boring Wall, with a new name.”
Mahesa pondered for a moment, though it sounded silly but the proposal was excellent.
“Babyskara!” Sungsang Geni continued. “That's our group name.”
“Babyskara, yes?” Dirga seemed to frown, then his face immediately snapped. “ Nice name, starting today we are a member of bayangkara. And you Your Majesty, are the leader.”
Not long after, a little boy came up to the young man with a small lute in his hand. “My lord swordsman, I will follow you to war,” he said innocently. “I will avenge the death of my country!”
Mahesa glanced at Sungsang Geni with a shrunken face, seemingly in disbelief if the young man befriended a boy.
“You can't come!” Sungsang Geni said flatly.
“Why can't?”
“Because this is not a toy, you should stay here, practice controlling your ketchup.” Sungsang Geni plucked the lute strings, but his voice was not as good as when Bentara played it.
“But...”.
“Let us avenge your country..” Mahesa pulled the collar and put it far away. “You should be here, you are the next generation after us. So don't waste your age, I know you dare but..,.courage alone is not enough for now.”
The heralds looked very upset, but in the end she left the place with a red face.

Cempaka Ayu came to Sabdo Jagat accompanied by Ratih Perindu and Siko Danur Jaya. Their goal is to ask permission, no! Not asking for permission but their arrival was just a statement.
Allowed or not, the three of them would still leave this place.
“Are you all serious?” Sabdo Jagat was so surprised to hear his sister's request.
Just a few weeks ago, he was so worried that Cempaka Ayu decided to follow Sungsang Geni to Swarnadwipa, and today they will leave the refugee wall.
“We have thought about this carefully, Kakang Sabdo. We will choose our own path, and I hope you will bless the three of us.”
“Siko Danur Jaya? Why do you want to go to war with Sungsang Geni?” The Blue Nettle asked the only disciple. “You know very well, don't you? Once you get out of this wall, there's no turning back unless you throw away your shame.”
Siko Danur Jaya bowed 3 times, which showed his determination. While the Earthly Dumbness Master, he walked up to Ratih Perindu then patted the woman on the shoulder with a small smile.
'Thank you Master.” Rindang Sari saluted.
On the other hand, Sungsang Geni came to his Teacher Eyang Ki Alam Sakti. Not much comment came out of the old man's mouth, except approving of his disciple's intentions.
“I can not prevent the coming storm, nor can I block the river, Geni,” said Ki Alam Sakti. “Hopefully you can fulfill your duty, My disciple.”

120 Horses roared out of the refugee wall. One of the troops took the lead by riding on a big wolf.
Sungsang Geni, who else. He decided to go back up the Wolf's back, instead of riding a horse.
Then not long after, Siko Danur Jaya drove as fast as possible. “There are many mines in the middle of the forest, I will lead the way,”.
Siko Danur Jaya chose a slightly twisted route, everyone in the refugee camp knew that the route had not been fitted with mines.
In the middle of the army, Empu Pelak boarded a horse carriage pulled by 4 horses and accompanied by 2 soldiers. Inside the carriage, there was a barrel of demonic powder.
Losing Empu Pelak looks like it will be a big blow for Surasena. But of course, none of them had best unleashed the potential power of demonic powders other than Sungsang Geni.
“Be careful on your right side!” Shouted Siko Danur Jaya, pointing at the roots of the rope attached slightly hanging on the ground. “Or our horse will get a rain of arrows from there!” He pointed at one tree, where there were dozens of bows ready to release arrows if anyone touched the 'little bit' rope.
After successfully passing through the forest, Sungsang Geni is right in the fork of the road that is almost in the form of the letter 'Y'.
The road was almost lost as some herbs and weeds began to grow along the road body.
“Geni, we will comply with your decision whether it be through the left road or the right road.” Mahesa had just inspected the two roads in front of them.
“Give me a map!” pinta the young man.
Then he opened the map wide once in the middle of the road, Mahesa watching carefully everything the young man said.
“Our goal is to capture this village!” Sungsang Geni encircles a village within the map, which may be 3 days from where they are today. “This village is most fertile among others, the captives must have been employed in this village as farm laborers.”
“But I'm sure this village is held by quite a lot of troops.” Dirga says.
“We will learn the situation while in the region.” Sungsang Geni smiled meaningfully. “That place is a rice supplier for other villages controlled by Devil Bats.”
“Reduce their feeding rations, equal to reduce the strength of the enemy.” Empu Pelak chuckled small, the only person who understood what Sungsang Geni meant.
Of course what Empu Pelak said was true. In war, an undignified enemy will die without food, but without food a dignified person will not die.
The horse returned to speed quickly down that road. The grasses that grew along the road body were forced to wither after two hours of horse legs breaking them.
At once Sungsang Geni glanced at the troops he was leading, asking himself if what he was doing was right.
But then the steadiness in his soul reverberated, when at this time they found dozens of bodies that began to decompose slinging on the side of the road.
“What is this cadaver of the people?” Sungsang Geni asked.
Dirga got off his horse, checked the suit once or twice, then found a black badge that was a bit of a hideous shape.
“This is a group of Demon Bats and their allies, Maybe.”
“They did not die of starvation, they died of attacks.” Sungsang Geni saw several arrows still stuck in their skull bones. “There are others besides us, this is interesting. Apparently we are not the first to launch an attack.”
Not long after Commander Ireng suddenly sniffed his nose, then growled and immediately jumped into the bush quickly almost making Sungsang Geni fall from his back.
Not long after, a woman wearing a covering on her face came out after almost managing to escape. His entire attire was dark green, almost like a leaf, wearing an arrow bow as a weapon.
"Who is this woman?" Dirga muttered softly.
