THE SUN GOD SWORD
The Tumenang Kingdom Warrior
The next day, Buyung Upiak brought 1200 troops to the small headquarters across the river.
He left only the 10 most loyal guards to guard his treasure warehouse. Meanwhile, all the captives are locked in a holding cell.
The soldier was fully clothed, wearing black armor, a war mask as well as steel shoes and gloves.
Just one less than that large army, they did not carry the flag of the Demon Bats, probably because they were in a single faction.
Buyung Upiak riding the biggest black horse, walking first accompanied by 4 powerful subordinates.4 subordinates did not really understand why Buyung Upiak wanted to attack the small headquarters across the river.
According to Buyung Upiak he does not need to give too much reason, because the four of them are fools. But the old man promised all the women and wine there for the four of them. This made the four people happy.
Their footsteps roared, like a typhoon crashing into a residential area, frightening and deafening.
When the army had just passed through a region, the region became lost due to the street dust produced by the horse's legs.
A few hours later, 5 large ships on the river bank were ready to sail. The ship was unlikely to transport those troops at once, hence they would take turns.
“I'll go first!” Buyung Upiak can no longer wait to fight, seen from the war that has always been emotional since yesterday.
The old man along with 100 other soldiers sailed first, then followed by 400 other soldiers. The current state of the River was very clear and calm, water foam trailing the back of the ship, like a glittering pearl.
After nearly 2 hours all the soldiers had been across the river, Sungsang Geni and his troops could see them like an army of black ants. Walk in rows through the main road and then disappear on the ramp.
“Now it's our turn!” Mahesa first climbed on the raft they made.
Then followed by the others along with their horses. There were 10 rafts that they managed to make, which were able to carry 5 people with their horses.
Meanwhile, Sungsang Geni and Cempaka Ayu prefer to use the science of lightening the body to arrive across the river.
“If science lightens our bodies as good as the two of them, we don't have to ride a horse.” Dirga muttered softly in Mahesa's ear.
“I'm really sorry I couldn't master that science.” Mahesa looked the most upset among the others.
Meanwhile, Siko Danur Jaya and Ratih Perindu may be able to use the science of relieving their bodies, but the inner strength they have is not as much as Sungsang Geni or Cempaka Ayu. So the wise decision they both rode the raft alone.
After all the troupe arrived across, Sungsang Geni floated above the tallest tree. His eyes began to search for where the small headquarters was located, but were not found. The base may be located quite far from this river.
Nevertheless he could see the soldiers led by Buyung Upiak lined up neatly along the way, probably only requiring another 1 hour the troops would arrive at one of the first villages.
After quite satisfied paying attention, Sungsang Geni immediately descended from the tree.
“Their headquarters may still be quite far away, I have not been able to see its existence.” Sungsang Geni riding on the back of Commander Ireng. “We will follow in the footsteps of Buyung Upiak and his troops, but do not get too close, they will suspect us.”

After noon, the Bayangkara troops arrived at a village that was already chaotic, flat on the ground. Some of the flames were still soaring high, and there were more corpses on the ground.
The dozens of corpses were soldiers of the Demon Bats, but there were also some of the corpses of innocent citizens. Sungsang Geni immediately came down from the butt of Commander Ireng, followed by Mahesa and Siko Danur Jaya.
The three of them searched the small village, looking for if anyone survived.
Meanwhile, all the bayangkara warriors collect corpses in one large hole created by Ratih Perindu.
“If we don't bury him, this place will be a hive of disease.” Ratih Perindu gives a reason.
Sungsang Geni had no problem with that. But for Mahesa, it is better to just burn these bodies, because they are not worthy to be given a funeral.
“Geni! There are people who are still safe.” Cempaka Ayu had just found a group of citizens hiding behind a grove of bushes near their village.
They numbered about 20, consisting of young men and some young women. “Are you prisoners or citizens in this place?” Cempaka Ayu reached out to the figure of the girl in front of him. “Do not be afraid, we are not an army of Demon Bats, come out slowly, we will not hurt you.”
The men seemed a little hesitant, but in the end they ventured to come out of hiding. Apparently more men than women, there are 15 men and 5 women.
Their clothes were no less worn out than the other citizens they met, filled with patches and also smelled sour. It may not have been washed for a long time.
Cempaka Ayu rushed to get two pieces of his clothes, then given to two girls who almost like naked. They're so dirty, seedy and black. When Cempaka Ayu felt the palm of the girl, it felt like it was not the possession of a girl, full of calluses.
“Are you citizens in this village?” asked Siko Danur Jaya, she also gave a piece of clothing to a young man who was the thinnest among the others.
“Not sir, we're not actually citizens here. We are soldiers in custody, we are from the Kingdom of Tumenang.” The other young man said, he was the biggest and a little muscular compared to his friends.
“Kingdom of the Ghost Valley?” Sungsang Geni scrunched his forehead, then he remembered about the place. “I know prince Miksan Jaya and also Nyai Bidara. How are they doing?”
Sungsang Geni did not see the Kingdom of Tumenang in the refugee fortress along with Surasena. He just realized about it.
The man did not expect Sungsang Geni to know Prince Miksan Jaya, as well as his loyal bodyguard, Nyai Bidara. But of course it was not only Sungsang Geni who knew that name, Mahesa also knew those two people.
The young man's face then suddenly sucks, long enough for him to catch his breath until he finally opened his voice. “The Kingdom of Tumenang is long gone, along with the King and Prince Miksan Jaya. We have been taken by the uncle of the prince Miksan Jaya, or the younger brother of the Prabu Kalara. Nyai Bidara managed to bring Prince Miksan Jaya, but to this day no one knows where they are hiding.”
