THE SUN GOD SWORD
Mastering Istana4
After some time, everyone ate the food, except Sungsang Geni and the white-haired man who was still unconscious. Meanwhile, the remaining enemy soldiers did not dare to do anything at the moment, except to gather with the other servants in the corner of the room with faces downcast from fear.
The prisoners released by Sungsang Geni are the great soldiers that Tumenang once had. Those who are loyal to the kingdom and stand tall in the way of truth.
“He was a faithful Patih,” one of the prisoners approached Sungsang Geni while chewing chicken meat. “He received a hundred whips and dozens of punches, but I didn't think he was alive.”
“I've been channeling my inner strength for him, but it might still take a few days for him to come to his senses" Sungsang Geni said, looking at the man's pulse.
“Young man, I don't know you yet.” The man wiped his palm, intending to shake Sungsang Geni's hand. “I am Senopati, ah not but Former Senopati in Tumenang, people call me by the name of Mangku Anom.”
“My name is Geni, Sungsang Geni.”
“So Geni, I'm sure you're a great swordsman, there's no need to discuss that I've heard stories from girls there." He pointed towards Langgis. "But the problem is..,..after releasing us, what other plans do you have? How do you free the minds of the people?”
Sungsang Geni had not replied, he himself had no plans. From the beginning he only intended to scout this Palace, and return again to the Duchy of Ujung Lempung to arrange a plan. But fate says something else.
Now that the Palace warriors were dead, except for a few guards out there who were restless and perhaps suspicious, also a few servants and soldiers who were sitting gathered in the corner of the room. Sungsang Geni had yet to decide what course of action for them? or the next step?
“It seems you don't have a plan yet.” My Anom chewed the last piece of meat in his hand, throwing the bones onto the floor. “Be King in this place, be Prajamansara.”
“What?”
“True, only then can we free the minds of the people who are in chaos. Just for a while, I have a plan.”
***
All preparations have been made by Mangku Anom, starting from replacing the guards at the Palace mast with the soldiers under his command. He had also cleared up all the chaos within the palace, opening the gate so that people would not be suspected. All like nothing happened, a slick sadiwara.
Meanwhile, he had already spread a secret order to the remains of loyal soldiers hiding in this corner of the Negri or disguised as commoners.
Sungsang Geni was asked to leave the Tumenang Palace along with the hundreds of soldiers he had collected. But their departure is not simultaneous, because it can attract attention. Sungsang Geni goes at night, when the atmosphere is very quiet, through a secret route known only to Mangku Anom and loyal warriors.
“I'm not sure this plan will work,” Sungsang Geni told Langgis outside the fog of illusion.
“Trust me, this is the only way.” Langgis patted the young man's shoulder.
Currently Sungsang Geni is in a luxurious carriage, wearing royal Tumenang-style clothes and decorated with gold and jewels. Behind the golden carriage, there were many warriors wearing warrior clothes with Demon Bats lashes on the back of their clothes.
Anom's opponent needed a lot of effort to sneak the horses and the war clothes out of the Illusory Mist. Sungsang Geni didn't really care how, but according to the former Senopati, Illusion Mist had many other secret doors.
One of the soldiers showed signs on a hollow old banyan tree, Sungsang Geni had seen the banyan tree. And he was sure, this was not the secret door that Mangku Anom meant.
Instantly the Illusory fog began to thin and opened the gate to pass through. The golden train slowly passed through the fog, making Sungsang Geni could clearly pay attention to the protector of this country.
When he first came to this country, the young man of the sun did not have time to pay attention and did not care too much about his shape or circumstances. He moved as fast as he could, as he so quickly passed through the illusory fog for only a few seconds for him.
“The noble King Prajansara has returned.” The soldier in front shouted loudly, sounding the trumpet sound from the beast horn.
“Get you off the streets, make room for your King!” whip whip bodyguard Sungsang Geni.
“Watch your hand! And this would be a perfect disguise.” Langgis whispered in Sungsang Geni's ear.
The young man forcedly waved his hand behind the window curtain that opened slightly without showing his face. The cries of the people echoed in the streets, making Sungsang Geni's feelings even more uneasy.
“Hold a minute! This trip is only two days one night you can definitely do it.”
Sungsang Geni gulped, he didn't like this charade so it didn't take him long to pull back his hand, closing the curtain of the carriage.
“What are you doing?” ask Langgis.
“I think, Prajamansara will not be this familiar to his people,” timpal Sungsang Geni.
“You may be right, he is a cocky man, so this disguise should not make you fret.” Langgis flashed a small smile, peeking out from the curtain of the carriage window at the people who were shouting to call out the name of Prajamansara, disgusting the girl thought.
Sungsang Geni let out a heavy sigh, two days and one night of walking until arriving at Tumenang Palace was like a year. But in the end the efforts of the young man were not in vain, after two days and one night acting like a King in the Kencana Train, the young man arrived also in the Palace.
Throw away all the clothes and jewels that were hanging over her body in annoyance.
“No one suspects?” Mangku Anom smiled slightly towards Sungsang Geni, standing on one of the Palace's pillars near the entrance. He pegged one pitcher of pumpkin filled with wine.
“The initial plan went smoothly,” said Sungsang Geni. “Now we continue the second plan.”
“Wait a minute, the second plan will be implemented tomorrow.” Mangku Anom then called Langgis, giving a secret letter to the Duke of Lingga and his soldiers.
“Give me this message today! Duke Lingga knows what to do."
Langgis received the letter, then left with one other Telik Sandi in a hurry as if not feeling tired. He slipped through the secret passage, dressed as a commoner and went to the Duchy of Ujung Lempung to meet his brother.
“All the people must side with the Duke of Lingga, and tear down this Palace,” said Mangku Anom.
“Yes, after this happens, we will block Prajansara outside the illusion fog.”
“True, you're smart when I haven't thought about it.” Anom's stool uprooted the wine once more, slamming it to the floor until it scattered. “Trainer is awake, when his strength returns he will become a strong lion.”
Sungsang Geni only smiled slightly, walking first leaving Mangku Anom towards the highest floor of this Palace. Meanwhile, Mangku Anom did not budge staring at the figure of Sungsang Geni until lost behind the stairs of the Palace.
“Not just a powerful Lion, this time we have a ferocious monster.” My Anom smiled little. "This time we have hope of winning."
