THE SUN GOD SWORD
New System
It took a while for Sungsang Geni to shelter under the big tree, the rain still pouring down heavily. The atmosphere was quite cold for the man who was used to the hot aura. He sat down near Commander Ireng, beside him Wulandari sat down and buried his body in the warm feathers of the wolf.
“Hopefully, Tumenang will again succeed as usual,” Wulandari muttered little.
“Yes, I hope everything comes back like before,” Sungsang Geni said. “After the death of the Three Swordsmen of Malacca, is it possible that Negri nine's army will move?”
“I think impossible, dad will move alone. He does have enough ability, but it is impossible to attack Surasena. You could say, Negri Sembilan has already lost in this plains, it's just that I don't know what father will do, is it possible that he will stay here or return again to Negri Sembilan?”
“The question is, can the Toxic Mask just let go of your father? I don't think the ambition of the poisonous mask controls the whole country. He won't let a single person betray.”
Wulandari just fell silent to hear that, maybe what Sungsang Geni said was true. But right now, the girl had nothing to save her father.
“Day has died..” Wulandari raised her palm, feeling the rain not as hard as before. “How about we resume the journey? My hut is quite far from this place.”
Sungsang Geni was about to give up, but the girl had already risen to her feet leaving the shady tree. Just sighing heavily, the young man was forced to accompany Wulandari's steps.
“Gerr...” persuaded Panglime Ireng, thrusting his head towards the girl, perhaps meaning that Wulandari would want to ride her back. “Gerr...gerr.
“Allah! It will be quite a long journey,” continued Sungsang Geni.
Wulandari smiled bitterly, with a heavy heart she climbed up on the back of Panglime Ireng carrying her body galloping towards the path. Sungsang Geni escorted behind the girl with the science of lightening the body.
It took a week to arrive at the flower field above the plateau, where Cempaka Ayu lay unconscious.

Meanwhile on the same day, Surasena managed to arrive at Petarangan headquarters. A fairly large branch headquarters, enough to accommodate the thousands of troops brought by Lakuning Banyu.
“I can't believe, you guys Bayangkara managed to occupy this Headquarters? even looks no cracks on the wall part of the wall.” said Lakuning Banyu.
“You are too praising the King,” kilah Mahesa, then whistle loudly.
About a few seconds after his whistle, two people appeared above the wall of Petarangan Headquarters. Two soldiers were assigned to guard this place. Ah, there are actually more than 10 people living here, Sungsang Geni had expected this headquarters to be useful someday. So the 10 men were assigned to take care of it.
“Aduka Raja Lakuning Banyu has come!” yelling one of the two soldiers over the Headquarters Wall. “Thank the gate!”
Not long after, a small vibrating gate was then raised high welcoming the arrival of Surasena.
Lakuning became quite fascinated with the building inside the Headquarters, nothing was destroyed, he thought. He was still wondering, how did Bayangkara take this wall without touching the building.
“Ya..ya...this is really a great place.”
Meanwhile, thousands of soldiers moved quickly through each building, just in case there were long-rooted intruders in this place. They also inspected the largest building in the place, before Lakuning Banyu and the elders of the Swordsman Union entered it.
“No signs of enemies!” report one of the soldiers.
“This place is safe, Your Majesty.”
“Good, now I command you.” What he meant was Mahesa. “Bring all the soldiers in their respective positions, you are the best friend of Sungsang Geni, obviously have the same thoughts as that young man.”
Mahesa was silent for a moment, indirectly Lakuning Banyu gave a mandate for the man to lead the Surasena soldiers. This was a pretty heavy mandate because the soldiers were now members of many factions, but the man could not dodge, forced him to resign.
In another section, Empu Pelak and his son Raka Buana saw the armory along with several warriors from the Snake Valley. In the young man's hand was a water-tipped sword, Ki Alam Sakti had returned the heirloom after the war ended.
There was nothing in that place, except some fragile weapons and also worn-out armor.
“Ayahanda, now what should we do?” ask Raka Buana. “This place will not last long, if we do not have a strong defense.”
“Of course, we will make more Demon Trains than before.” Empu Pelak chuckled small. “One hundred, two hundred or maybe three hundred.”
“Regarding things that can explode? I never learned that, how did Father find the concoction?”
“Ahahaha... From today on you have to learn a lot, my son. As the son of an Empu, you must develop a weapon that can destroy the enemy. We will both keep this fortress standing, when the enemy attacks.”
Empu Pelak's request has been granted by Lakuning Banyu. He wanted a team, special forces who would be in charge of making weapons, developing demon chariots and creating war armor. So from today, this arsenal will be the main headquarters of Empu Pelak. With a team of 50 people, he will work hard.
Two days after occupying this headquarters, Lakuning Banyu made a decision that would probably stir everyone a little. There are several points that the king of Surasena explained.
The first point is, the dissolution of the Swordsman Union. This was truly shocking, but the man's decision had already been considered very carefully. Previously, the swordsman union had its own headquarters, but this time because they were on one umbrella with Surasena, it was fitting that the Swordsman Union be abolished and become part of the Kingdom.
The second point, Lakuning Banyu named Bayangkara as the name of the Surasena team. In other words, the Bayangkara formed by Sungsang Geni was abolished, and in exchange, the young man would be appointed as Mahapatih Hamangkubumi in Surasena.
“But Your Majesty..” Mahesa said doubtfully. “Isn't it a problem with this decision, I mean how Sungsang Geni responds? Shouldn't we talk about it first.”
'No problem, Nak mas Mahesa..” ki Alam Sakti said. “His Majesty King Lakuning Banyu's decision to create the royal order is already very good, this is a good first step. The system in Surasena has been destroyed, so today we create a new system. Geni will agree to this, he will not refuse.”
“I agree,” said Ki Lodro Sukmo. “ We need a big name that makes a real enemy, just by hearing his name. And that name is Sungsang Geni.”
