THE SUN GOD SWORD
The Ujung Lempung Duchy

Not waiting for long, before the burly man carried the bodies of the young girls towards the offering altar, Sungsang Geni had already attacked the man first with a hard blow right at the top of his heart. Not dead indeed, but the attack managed to make the executioner unconscious.

Obviously everyone became surprised instead of a bitch, a man with a face cover had presumptuously attacked the executioner who was believed to be a holy man.

“Quick get away from here!” the Sungsang Geni Command.

Dozens of young girls had not yet moved from their places, as if they were being influenced by strength, clearly visible the gazes of the girls were empty. Before everyone came too crowded, Sungsang Geni released a hot aura on the dozens of young girls, guarding them from the influence of the executioner's power.

“Quick go!” a little screamed Sungsang Geni.

In a daze, the girls finally went running towards the south, passing dozens of people and crossing the rice fields. When that happened, there were some more executioners intent on chasing them, but were soon stopped by Sungsang Geni with a loud bang. The Genipun Sungsang went to follow the direction of the young girls.

The muzzle of Commander Ireng followed in the footsteps of the girls, about an hour finally they both stopped right on the banks of the River which was white like milk. A pungent smell wafted from the stream, Commander Ireng frowned as if he could not bear the smell.

“The river here is poisonous..” Sungsang Geni unmasks the cloth covering his face, looking slightly downstream. There were several black stones neatly lined up stretching across the river.

On the stones, there were still dozens of girls struggling to jump on him to arrive across the poisonous river. Not waiting for long, Sungsang Geni followed them all.

After passing through the poisonous river, Sungsang Geni found a small shrub that stretched like a natural fence. The girls go in through the thickets.

Commander Ireng was still sniffing his black muzzle, walking down the tracks of the girls followed by Sungsang Geni behind him. Five minutes after passing through the thickets, now the man was faced with a stretch of arid and barren land.

There was a mile away that stretch of barren land. At the end of the eye, there were still a dozen troubled young girls walking in the hot sun, some of them using a pin as an umbrella.

“We follow in their footsteps..” Sungsang Geni had started to suspect about this place, of course, just a moment ago he saw a fertile and prosperous land, but now in front of his eyes was plastered in a barren, dry land.

Moments later, Sungsang Geni and Panglima Ireng arrived at a small abandoned village. Black smoke came out of the kitchens of the people's homes. At that time, dozens of people cried when they saw their daughter returned safely.

“Kisaak..” Sungsang Geni saluted.

“Don't take our daughter, don't kill her, you devil-hearted people, go you guys from this place!” One of the old women with gray hair in worn clothes that even only covered half of her body, cursed Sungsang Geni.

Unmitigated, they pelted the young man with pebbles and small stones.

“Wait!” said one of the dozens of young girls. “He who saved us, this young man has released the chains binding on his hands and feet, also released the shingles in our minds.”

An old old man, walking with the help of a bamboo stick came closer. His clothes were the same as most people in this place, only it was seen that there was a wooden bracelet on his right hand, which distinguished him from other men.

“Have you been threatened?”ask the old man.

“Really Ki Demang, he is the one who has saved our lives.” Said the young girl again.

Apparently the old old man was the leader in this hamlet, it was possible that the bracelet on his right hand was a symbol of leadership, Sungsang Geni thought. Ki Demang approached Sungsang Geni, watching the young man meticulously from the tip of his hair to the tip of his foot.

Before the old man understood the situation, suddenly Commander Ireng came behind the young man, shocking everyone. Almost Ki Demang, fell unconscious because of the action of the Black Wolf.

“Gerr...gerr Commander Ireng signaled, that there were dozens of people coming near this hamlet.

Earlier their faces were wry because of the actions of Commander Ireng, but at this time it was getting pale after hearing there was an emissary from the kingdom of Tumenang coming to this hamlet. There is never a good thing if messengers from the kingdom come, except to bring young girls to serve as slaves or offerings to the gods. Chhh.dewa darkness.

Everyone peeked out from the cracks of the perforated walls, paying attention with worried faces. There were about 9 people coming, their bodies were very stocky with a big machete that was pointed forward.

“Will the young man be okay?” asked one of the villagers.

“Husstt..don't say out loud, we just hope that the young man has the power to fight them.”

“But if not, we could have been slaughtered because it was considered to have been presumptuous to rebel.”

"Aren't we, that's why we're in this state."

Outside the houses, precisely at the junction of Sungsang Geni and Panglima Ireng surrounded by 9 people, looks like a soldier or maybe an executioner.

“You have dared to save the captives who will be dedicated to the Dark God.” one of the 9 warriors said rudely, spitting on the ground once and without compromise immediately attacked Sungsang Geni.

The young man of the sun only gave a small smile, then gave off an extremely concentrated killing aura. Instantly all the citizens became shocked instead of dumbstruck, the 9 soldiers suddenly fell to their knees with deathly pale faces.

Three of them were unconscious, while only one person was mentally strong enough. Although his face looked scared, the man could still maintain his body to remain standing and grasping the hilt of the machete.

But before the man took action, Sungsang Geni landed his palm right on the man's neck shaft, making him fall unconscious and fall on the ground.

“The young man was very strong..” muttered again the residents from inside their huts.

“He did nothing, but his opponent fell unconscious.”

Sungsang Geni smiled slightly, he did not kill them all because the young man did not feel the dark energy within the soldier's body. According to the young man, they were only being used by the Tumenang kingdom's leader, but thus he had no intention of releasing them all.

Ki Demang came out of the house earlier than the citizens.

“That's all of them..” said Sungsang Geni.

Some men came with a long rope, without waiting for them to tie the 9 men to a big tree near the fork in the road. Some women also took their weapons.

“Learners, once again you have helped us, I say many thanks.” Ki Demang saluted twice.

There are many such villages in the kingdom of Tumenang. If Sungsang Geni walked a little east, he would encounter two abandoned villages, and if he continued the journey again the young man would find the center of the duchy which he already felt like a lagging city.

The Duchy of Ujung Lempung, was the only one to oppose the new king's rule in Tumenang. Therefore, the duchy of Ujung Lempung was labeled as rebel territory.

Duke Lingga, was a young man who was forced to replace his father because he died in the struggle to defend their territory. As the new Duke, the Linga did not know too much about government, or defense.

Nevertheless, he had loyal warriors to the death. The Five Sacred Swords, were the five swordsmen who had the best abilities in the Duchy of Ujung Lempung.

Since Prince Miksan Jaya reportedly died together with Nyai Bidara, the Duke of Lingga survived alone in the power of the Kingdom of Tumenang. Lara's grief alternated eating away at the city, starting from the poisoned river and also the citizens who were forced into slaves or collateral.
