THE SUN GOD SWORD
Under the Night Sky
Sungsang Geni sat down while inspecting the many books and records located in the administration room.
In this room, you can see a painting of a haunted-faced man. Sungsang Geni never saw the face, but then one of the slaves who was in charge of accompanying him gave an explanation.
Apparently it was a painting of a Toxic Mask, it looked strange because there was no mask attached to the man's face. Sungsang Geni watched for a while, then went back to reading the many books that were now scattered on the table.
“Do you also face enemies like us?” Sungsang Geni asked in astonishment, there was a note that wrote the Black Eagles College.
“Be-right sir.” The boy looked doubtful. “They are a group of people who often kill the Demon Bat Warrior while on patrol. They-they come and go just like that.”
According to the slave's testimony. Black Eagles College was extremely troublesome, they became a search list in every small headquarters in the region. The college was about 30 people, maybe 40 people, no one knows for sure the number of them all.
Black eagles are said to be black schools, it is possible. They used a secret weapon to kill their opponent.
“What kind of secret weapon?” Sungsang Geni asked.
“Sumpits!” answer the boy. “They use chopsticks covered in poison. Rumor has it, they do not need to point their chopsticks towards the enemy, just by pointing the chopsticks' eyes at the sky, then the weapon will kill its own opponent.”
“Kill his opponent?”
“True sir, I saw for myself they released an attack into the sky, then his chopstick needle moved to stab the heart in our side. Strangely though we avoided the chopsticks eyes it would turn around, not stopping before hitting the target.”
Sungsang Geni took a heavy breath, not expecting such a weapon in the martial world. A completely strange move, but the young man could surmise from their weapons must be those of an inland tribe.
Sungsang Geni went back to check some of the other records, none of which so attracted his heart except the Black Eagles College.
An hour later, Empu Pelak came to see the young man. He glanced for a moment at the slave who was with Sungsang Geni, making the slave become a little frightened.
“I ask everyone to behead them, and I have buried them properly.” Empu Pelak talked about the nearly a thousand corpses gathered in the meadow behind this Headquarters. “I've run out of demon powder, I heard there are many sufur in the north.”
Sungsang Geni understood the old man's intentions, he asked Sungsang Geni to deploy some soldiers to take sulfur as a mixture of demon powder making.
“How long will it take to arrive at that mountain?” Sungsang Geni asked the slave in front of him.
“Two days if riding mister.”
“Then let me go get that thing myself.”
Sungsang Geni decided to let his troops stay inside this Headquarters within the next few days.
According to the information the slave described in front of him, there would be soldiers from Branch Headquarters who would visit the small headquarters every 2 weeks once, just to ensure the performance of each small headquarters.
The purpose of the Headquarters is actually not only to become a ruler in a certain region, but also to be a tool to expand power and tasked with finding every College and the remnants of the soldiers Surasena.
There were many Small Headquarters that managed to control 8 to 10 villages, and also managed to catch small colleges that roamed to be slaves or also joined the Demon Bats.
On the other hand, Mahesa and Dirga were assisted by a dozen other soldiers, collecting all the war supplies. There were about 900 suits of armor and spears and swords.
"This weapon is quite powerful." Mahesa used a golden spear once used by Chandrak and a sword used by Buyung Upiak. "Wear this sword, too bad I'm not a swordsman."
One of the soldiers who was strong enough to receive the sword hesitantly, the sword was very sharp compared to the sword that was slung around his waist.
"Don't be ashamed, take it for you!" Mahesa smiled a little.
"Thank you, coach."
"Ah, don't call me Patih, we're no longer part of the Tombok Cliff."
This treatment will be useful. Generally Bayangkara and Surasena soldiers wear combat clothes. But by wearing this equipment, it will add a little defense of their bodies. Not everyone has a strong body like Mahesa.
While all the women were in the kitchen, they used all the ingredients available to cook. They will celebrate a small party for having successfully conquered 2 small Headquarters at once.
When night fell, everyone gathered right in front of the small Headquarters. Slaves, soldiers and prisoners became one. The girls handed out meat and soup, then jagged with wine.
Sungsang Geni did not forbid, even though he actually did not like such a thing. The young man floated up the lookout tower, watching his hundreds of subordinates who were toasting.
“I brought you bean porridge..” Cempaka Ayu caught up with the young man of the sun. “They are very hungry and also weak.” Cempaka Ayu noticed some of the prisoners who had just been released, so greedy to eat food. “What will we do to them?”
“We will send him back to uncle Joko Sewu's hideout, they will gather there.” Sungsang Geni then ate the bean porridge in his hand.
“Are they going to be okay?” Cempaka Ayu was starting to worry. “I don't want us like giving empty hope.”
Sungsang Geni was silent for a moment, which Cempaka Ayu said had a point. “If so what do you think we should do?”
“Once you go, but I think it's better we sweep the territory in this place before leaving. We'll take them across the river, put some of our men on guard. The river will be the best fortress for now.” Cempaka Ayu provides a solution, although it does sound simple but may be worth trying.
The young man only smiled a small sign of agreement, they were Bayangkara moving and moving so it was impossible to always keep an eye on the people and also the slaves. There should be a stay at the small headquarters controlled by Buyung Upiak, creating new defenses while subverting the enemy.
“After I take some sufur sacks, we will come back again, make defense there.” Sungsang Geni then ate one last spoon of peanut porridge.
For the prisoners who had just been released, that night was truly memorable in their hearts. No one expected them to enjoy the night with the stars and moon hanging in the eastern horizon.
Sometimes some of the prisoner slaves started to justify the actions of Sungsang Geni and his subordinates, they started to regret a bit of having become allies of the Demon Bats. There is no night like this if Sungsang Geni is the Toxic Mask.
Cempaka Ayu leaned his head on the shoulders of Sungsang Geni, staring at the shining moon. Sungsang Geni only gave a small smile, although there were many pairs of eyes that looked at the two of them.
“If I had a lover as beautiful as Cempaka Ayu I would be very happy.” One of the soldiers was beating.
“Your mistress, where is there a woman who would like to be with you? Except Pok Ila, the fat lady you owe food to.” Timpal his friend, then followed by the laughter of his friends.
