The Twin Swordsman
Black Cloudy over Martapura part 2

The Red Moon troops immediately continued on their way that morning, the Kala Murka king appeared in front leading his soldiers.

While Patih Lanang Seta and Ramapati are seen on the right and left side accompanying him.

For Patih Lanang Seta and his troops this was the first time they were led directly by their king.

Because in the previous war they were never led by Kala Murka only Patih Lanang Seta was often lead.

It looks like this war is not an ordinary war it is seen in the king of Murka who carries his flagship weapon, the Sword of Satan perched on his back.

Meanwhile Cakra Lembayung and Ki Balung Waja were seen at the very end of the line along with the soldiers at the back, they both intentionally do that just in case something unwanted happens.

Hiyaa..hiyaa.. appears from a distance someone drove his horse quickly to the line, repeatedly he pounded his horse and the longer the distance was getting closer to the troops.

Cakra Lembayung who saw the arrival of the warrior immediately stopped the path of his horse.

"What's the prince stopping" asked Ki Balung Waja,

"it seems like there is something teacher, look" replied Cakra Lembayung as he pointed at the horseman,

"It's not the red moon warrior prince" Ki Balung Waja said.

"True teacher "answered Cakra Lembayung.

A moment later the soldier was in front of them,

"What does the soldier ask "Cakra Lembayung,

"Hamba wants to report to Gusti that something has happened in Kumaya without our knowledge "said the soldier.

then the soldier told him about the sight he saw when he reached Kumaya.

"What ...!!!"said Cakra Lembayung and Ki Balung waja surprised at the same time.

"I have to tell this incident to the teacher's kanda prabu" Cakra Lembayung's words immediately spurred his horse towards the front row.

A moment later, he arrived at the front row.

"Wait for kanda prabu" cried Cakra Lembayung.

Kala Murka immediately raised her right hand upwards hinting her troops to stop immediately.

"What a Lembayung" asked Kala Murka.

Then Cakra Lembayung also told Kala Murka about the incident that befell all the soldiers in Kumaya.

Hearing that the king of Kala Murka, Patih Lanang Seta and Ramapati were surprised not to play with disbelief.

"Lanang Seta why there was a war without my knowledge, causing all my soldiers to die" king Kala Murka asked in anger.

"I'm sorry your majesty is outside the knowledge of the servant, because the servant did not receive any news from the kumaya in case of war there "pati said Lanang Seta.

"You really let me down Lanang Seta, I didn't leave Kumaya and all those soldiers to you, why don't you know Lanang Seta" said king Kala Murka.

"Sorry kanda, I think this is not the time to blame uncle Lanang Seta, this part is not entirely the omission of uncle kanda "say Cakra Lembayung.

"What do you mean by Lembayung" asked the king of Kala Murka.

"Rightly what Lanang Seta's uncle said kanda, they should have told the palace that something happened there, so that Uncle Lanang could send help ,but the proof is that they don't tell us anything, so this is the mistake of the leader there kanda" Cakra Lembayung said.

King Kala Murka was silent to the words of Cakra Lembayung, as if he confirmed what his sister said.

"Well I accept your excuse is Lembayung, now we continue the journey "saying king Kala Murka .

Throughout the journey Patih Lanang Seta still thought about the death of the entire army in Kumaya , he was really difficult to believe it , as well as Ramapati he also thought the same thing.

"Lanang Seta "pronounced Kala Murka.

"yes to the king" replied Lanang Seta.

"It looks like you have to change this strategy of war after all the soldiers in Kumaya are gone" said Kala Murka, holding her horse's rope.

"true majesty, originally I intend to divide the army into four parts but after knowing the state of the army in Kumaya I will divide the army into two Gusti" Lanang Seta said.

"please tell the troops to walk faster so that we quickly reach Martapura "command Kala Murka and accelerate the horse.

"speed up your way" shouted Patih Lanang Seta giving his cue and the whole army immediately their horse path.

Meanwhile, Sarpo and some of the soldiers who watched their movements began to move, moving, a bit away from them then Sarpo immediately headed to the place where his horse was tied under a tree not far from him.

"you are here to keep an eye on their movements while I will report to Gusti Patih" Sarpo said from his horse,

"hurry up you leave because maybe in half a day they will reach Martapura" said the friend.

"please be kind to your hearts "sarpo said immediately spurred his horse quickly.

"it's really a danger I've never seen the king of Kala Murka deploy his army that much as long as I'm a red moon warrior, it looks like Martapura will face a heavy opponent this time around", said Sarpo while racing his horse hard.

...--------------...

With a face full of anxiety and worry Rangga spurred his horse quickly, because he felt at this time Martapura was in a state of danger.

In the army also seen the king of Bargola also went to Martapura along with all his soldiers except Patih Guntoro and some soldiers who were ordered to stay in Argara to keep watch there for a long time it's goin.

"We don't have much time to speed up your path" shouted Rangga giving command to his troops.

Hearing Rangga's screams, the soldiers immediately accelerated their path.

"Pandan Perfume are you okay" said Ariani Dewi who was one horse with her,

"i'm fine Ariani" replied Pandan Wangi.

"It looks like the red moon troops are close to Martapura Wangi because Gusti Prabu looks so tense" said Ariani Dewi while looking at Rangga who was not far in front of him.

" let's hope we get there first before the red moon army Ariani" said Pandan Wangi while holding on tightly to Ariani Dewi.

"Hopefully so Pandan Fragrant" said Ariani Dewi.

Hiyaa.... Rangga continued to grind his horse.

...****************...

"The Red Moon army is here soon Gusti Patih" Sarpo reported.

"All right let's face them" said Arya Soma.

"Uncle Wiro Kusumo immediately prepare the archers to welcome their arrival, we give a little welcome to the Red Moon troops" Arya Soma ordered.

"Well Gusti Patih Patih will be carried out immediately" said Wiro Kusumo soon passed.

"Uncle Kencana Loka bring enough troops to line the archery troops" Arya Soma ordered.

"Well Gusti Patih" said the kencana loka and immediately went in front of Arya Soma.

Meanwhile in his room Dewi Sekar seemed to lie down with Dewi Kara and some palace servants.

It looks like that day Dewi Sekar will soon give birth to her first child.

"Is dinda's stomach still hurting "asked Dewi Kara, Dewi Kara,

"for now it is not yunda, but this pain comes suddenly, is this a sign I will soon give birth to a yunda" asked Dewi Sekar.

"True dinda usually people who will give birth are so" said Dewi Kara.

"sometimes it hurts so much dinda" said Dewi Sekar,

"It's natural dinda, all women if you want to give birth is so" said Dewi Kara felt sorry for Dewi sekar his sister .

"Has kanda prabu not returned yunda "asked Dewi Sekar .

"Not yet dinda, maybe soon, don't worry I will accompany dinda until the baby is born" said Dewi Kara.

"Thank you yunda" said Dewi Sekar.

"Aunt Sari what baby will be born today or tonight" asked Dewi Kara,

Dewi Kara looked worriedly at her sister's face that looked pale, she rubbed the hair of her only sister.

In the front courtyard of the palace, that day seemed crowded in the flood of Martapura soldiers who were marching ,

Senopati Wiro Kusumo seems to be preparing an army that will soon be in his departure, not far from him in the barracks of Senopati Kencana Loka soldiers were also doing the same thing with other Senopati.

This time Martapura really mobilized all his soldiers to face the red moon, ranging from archers, horsemen, troops on foot and also reserve soldiers were not left behind.

From inside the palace Arya Soma stared intently at the soldiers who were preparing to be ready with a face that looked tense, it seemed like there was something he was thinking about but I don't know what it was.

When Arya Soma was watching the soldiers, a soldier came to report,

"What a soldier" asked Arya Soma,

"Report Gusti Patih turned out that the red moon troops were taking west Gusti" said the soldier,

Patih Arya Soma immediately thought of hearing the report of the soldier,

"Did the entire moon army take that direction" asked Arya Soma,

"right Gusti, as they became one there was no division on their army "soldier said.

"It turns out they will make a total assault" said Arya Soma while stroking her chin elus.

"How much more did they reach the teak forest according to your estimation" asked Arya Soma.

"It looks like there is still a long time Gusti because before they enter the teak forest, they will definitely take time to rest first to recover their energy Gusti "say the warrior telik the cipher.

"Yes ..yes, like her I can take advantage of this opportunity while they rest" muttered Arya Soma.

"Is there anything else you want to report to the soldier" asked Arya Soma.

"Hamba thought it was enough Gusti" said the soldier telik password.

"it's fine to go back to your place" said Arya Soma and the soldier left immediately.

"It seems I should immediately order uncle Wiro Kusumo and uncle Kencana Loka to immediately deploy part of his army" said Arya Soma, immediately walking towards the front yard.

"Uncle Wiro Kusumo" called Arya Soma, when he reached the front yard of the palace.

Seeing who called him Wiro Kusumo immediately approached him.

"What is Gusti Patih "asked Arya Soma,

"If the uncle's army is ready, they immediately go to the teak forest uncle, we block them there "said Arya Soma.

"Are we going to make the teak forest a Gusti battleground" asked Wiro Kusumo,

"Truely our uncle will destroy them there like we destroyed the Black Cloak army first" Arya Soma said.

"Both Gusti I will immediately send troops now "said Wiro Kusumo.

"Is Uncle Kencana Loka also ready uncle" asked Arya Soma, who was the uncle,

"The servant army is ready to leave Gusti" said the evil Loka suddenly came from the side of Arya Soma.

"Then you both leave with your respective troops "said Arya Soma.

"well Gusti" said Wiro Kusumo and Kencana Loka in unison.

After giving orders to the two of them, Arya Soma immediately headed into the palace, but at the time when he was about to enter suddenly there was a soldier who stopped his steps.

"reportor Gusti Patih, there are two people who want to meet Gusti Prabu" asked Arya Soma.

"Are you not saying that Gusti Prabu is not in place" asked Arya Soma.

"Hamba said so Gusti, but they still do not believe" replied the soldier,

"let them in I want to know who they are" Arya Soma said.

"Good Gusti" said the soldier soon passed .

"Who about two people have what needs with Gusti Prabu" said Arya Soma curious.

Not long after that came the soldier with two people walking behind him.

Seeing the person who came with the soldier Arya Soma was surprised instead of playing and immediately greeted the two guests with a wide smile on his lips.

"I really did not expect the queen of Gandari and Patih Danuraka to visit here, welcome to Martapura" said Arya Soma happily.

"Thank you Gusti Patih, I and uncle Danuraka actually have long wanted to visit here, but circumstances do not allow until finally today we can both also visit Martapura" said Gandari.

"yes.yes, I can understand the busyness of the queen Gandari, but dear Gusti Ratu comes at a time when the time and atmosphere is not right" said Arya Soma.

"What does Gusti Patih mean" asked Queen Gandari not to understand.

Then Arya Soma also told about the threat of the red moon that will attack to Martapura and the absence of Rangga in Martapura .

"It is fitting that the whole city be completely deserted and there is no activity whatsoever "said the princess of Gandari,

"This is our opportunity to take turns to help the queen's Gusti Martapura Martapura help Markuraka from the Black Coral rebels" said Patih Danuraka,

"what Patih's uncle I still remember" said Queen Gandari.

"Gusti Patih I decided to help Martapura in this war" said Queen Gandari.

"I'm happy to help you both" Arya Soma said happily.

Not long after came a soldier hurriedly facing Patih Arya Soma in Balairung palace.

"report Gusti Patih the war will begin soon" the soldier said.

"It turns out they've reached the teak forest, well I'll be there soon "pati said Arya Soma.

"Gusti Ratu and Patih Danuraka seem we must quickly go to the battlefield" said Arya Soma.

"We are both ready for Gusti Patih" said Queen Gandari.

"Then wait for you here" Patih Kencana Loka said immediately leaving them.

Tok..tok.tok.tok heard the sound of the door on the tap and soon the door was open.

"What's the kanda" asked Dewi Kara, Kara,

"You will soon leave for the teak forest now the security of the palace I leave to you dinda" said Arya Soma .

"Alright kanda and protect yourself kanda "say Dewi Kara then hugged her husband.

After saying goodbye to his wife, Arya Soma and Queen Gandari and Patih Danuraka left for the teak forest.

...----------------...

Meanwhile, in the teak forest Senopati Wiro Kusumo immediately meniagkan his troops by placing them in bush and also on top of trees.

"Prepare your arrows any minute they come" shouted Senopati Gautama looking a little tense.

Hearing the cry of Wiro Kusumo, the archer soldiers rushed to prepare their arrows, each good on top or under the tree.

Not far from the archer troops there is a cavalry led by Senopati Kencana Loka who is already in a state of combat ready in his hiding place.

Apparently they intend to trap the red moon troops inside the forest .

Suddenly came a soldier who was stricken with a hasty look who headed towards them.

"They're coming.." cried the soldier who swiped the password .

"You all wait for my aba aba "say Wiro Kusumo.

Soon after, the sound of the horse legs unpretentious entering the teak forest and increasingly clear by Wiro Kusumo and his troops the sound of the horse legs.

Ramapati who acted as the leader of the army immediately slowed down the path of his horse after arriving in the forest, then noticed the surroundings.

Because he did not feel any sign of the enemy Ramapati immediately speed up his horse to run back accompanied by his troops.
