Akarmani 30: Mastering the Capital

*Fire in Jintamani Kingdom (Akarmani)*

The tension that occurred around the fortress east of the Capital City, even there was a battle that cost many lives, now turned peaceful.

How not, the leaders of the two armies that were originally at war, had now sat together on top of the fortress while sipping coffee and while eating red bean porridge.

For the sake of togetherness, Commander Galagap who has been bloated by three bowls of porridge and the night wind, must sincerely add his stomach with a bowl of porridge and another cup of coffee. Fortunately it did not make him seasick.

Now there were nine high-ranking men sitting two tables on the eastern fort. While chatting seriously, occasionally their chatter is inserted with the seats of the dagelan that attract laughter.

They are Alma Fatara who have many titles without a single result from the academy track, the second is Panglima Pulung Seket, the third Duke Lalang Lengir, the fourth Handheld Husk aka Swordsman Heavy Stick, fifth Sumirah aka Swordsman Crocodile Beautiful, sixth Commander of Galagap aka Head of the Capital Security Forces, seventh Magar Kepang aka Head of Iwakculas Village, eighth Garam Sakti aka Swordsman of Iwakculas Village, and the ninth Ning Ana aka the missing child.

There were two board tables raised to the top of the fort arranged into one long table.

“We must immediately close the western fortress. With the defeat of the capital army, it means we have besieged the Palace. Gusti Ratu's forces have succeeded in burning inside the Palace, meaning that Gending Suro and his troops have been besieged. The closure of the western fortress to prevent the troops of Senopati Gending Suro in the western region from coming to help,” said Duke Lalang Lengir.

“Good, I will soon close the western fortress,” Commander Galagap said. Then he shouted to his men, “Pajrit Kerismon!”

“Hamba, Gusti Commander!” sahut Pajrit Kerismon who does not want to go far from the leaders, it seems he is still looking for his face that is not lost.

“Go to the western fortress and give my orders to Commander Dudung to fully close the western fort. If there are Royal troops from the western region, do not be allowed in!”

“But, Gusti ...,” says Pajrit Kerismon heavy head.

“Why?” ask the Galagap Commander.

“The position of the servant of the head of the Gusti warriors, not the messenger,” protest Pajrit Kerismon.

“Oh, I guess you like to be given assignments,” said Commander Galagap. Then the command, “Now I'm demoting you to messenger, it looks like you're more adept at the task. Now go get my message!”

“Hahahak ..!” alma Fatara's loud laughter accompanied by the laughter of her colleagues saw the fate of Pajrit Kerismon.

The head of the soldier who was now the messenger could only be flabbergasted like seeing a beautiful woman but without a head. To the extent that he could not say anything. His heart broke just then like a pounded pestle. He wanted to cry, but he still had the memory that he was a man and a soldier, as well as a head of the family. Abstinence from crying just because of a breakup, let alone just a matter of falling down. Isn't there a hill after the ravine? But Pajrit Kerismon did not know, that after the abyss there is only the open ocean.

“Go, or this task I give to another soldier and your rank I lower to become a warrior cook!” commander Galagap's orders contained a threat.

“Good, Gusti,” said Kerismon was weak and resigned.

Kerismon who has not used pajrit anymore then walked away like a person who lost the spirit and immune.

“Enjoy, Uncle! Show your spirit even if you're in the latrine! Don't give up just because you're down in rank! Alive Brother Alma! Alive Brother Alma!” ning Ana shouted in encouragement to Kerismon.

“Hahaha!” Alma Fatara and her colleagues actually laughed at the screams of the beautiful barbarian-tongued child.

“Let Commander Galagap keep secure the fort and the Capital. Let my troops and the forces of Duke Lalang Lengir who advanced to the castle of Istana,” said Panglima Pulung Seket.

“If so, before sunrise, the troops should have gathered in front of the castle Palace,” said Alma Fatara.

“I suspect, reports about the defeat of the Capital Fortress have reached Senopati Gending Suro. Most likely, he must have made the decision to prevent us from storming the castle of Palace,” said Handheld Husk.

“Wah, we have to go first, Brother Alma. If not, we will be able to fate like Sister Ning Ara, her lover was first captured by a crocodile woman,” said Ning Ana.

“You insinuate me, Ning Ana?” tanya Sumirah snorted.

“I'm not insinuating. If Kak Susu feels a crocodile female, it means that it is true that the crocodile female snatch men,” said Ning Ana spicy, without the slightest fear to Sumirah, who obviously could easily pick her up.

Indeed, ever since knowing that Sumirah had always been clinging to the Clasp of Chaff, Ning Ana had never liked the woman she judged to be flirtatious.

“If you can't keep that mouth of yours, I can throw you off the top of the fortress,” threatened Sumirah as she glared at Ning Ana opposite the table with her.

“Hahaha!” alma Fatara's laughter heard Ning Ana's words. He then said to Ning Ana, “If you don't want to make peace in a time of war like this, then I will provide a duel arena to both of you.”

“I agree!” Sumirah.

“I also agree!” ning Ana said loudly, making Alma Fatara, Handheld Husk, Magar Kepang, and Garam Sakti scattered.

“Are you able to fight the mighty and bigger Kak Sumirah?” alma Fatara asked Ning Ana.

“Hah! Sak Susu is only powerful in the business of seizing men and only the milk is large. She doesn't know as good as what I really am,” Ning Ana brags.

“Hahaha!” the laughter of the bars heard Ning Ana's boasting.

“Well, after we win, you and Brother Sumirah will duel in front of the Palace. Agreed?” alma Fatara has decided.

“Seal!” replied Ning Ana steady soul.

“How, Brother Sumirah?” ask Alma Fatara.

“Agreed,” replied Sumirah while staring without a blink at Ning Ana who was also glaring at him, even Ning Ana was pushing forward her lower lip mocking her brother's lover's usurper.

“Already, do not need to argue words again if there is a deal. Show your prowess later during the duel,” said Alma Fatara while caressing Ning Ana's head once.

“How, Commander Goddess?” asked Panglima Pulung Seket, bringing the conversation back to the plot.

“True says Kakang Gengkap Husk and Ning Ana. Immediately bring troops into the Capital and go directly to the castle Palace,” said Alma Fatara.

“If so, I am permission to return to the troops,” said Duke Lalang Lengir.

“I also,” said Panglima Pulung Seket.

“Good,” says Alma Fatara.

Thus, Panglima Pulung Seket and Adipati Lalang Lengir saluted Alma Fatara. The two of them immediately descended onto their horses and left together back to the base of the army far in front of the fortress.

Meanwhile, inside the palace.

“Report, Gusti Senopati!” squealing a soldier who came facing Senopati Gending Suro who continued to monitor the fire suppression efforts of two warehouses.

“What's up, Warrior?” tanya Senopati Gending Suro's.

“The Capital Fortress has been conquered by the Queen Colour Mekararum troops easily,” reports the soldier.

“What? With ease? What is the work of Commander Galagap?” shock Senopati Gending Suro huffed.

Senopati then took a moment to think.

“Gampar Seblak!” call the senopati to someone.

It turns out that the person named Gampar Seblak is not far from the position of Senopati Gending Suro. He immediately ran to face.

The man named Gampar Seblak was not dressed as a soldier, but was dressed as a swordsman who was armed with two large celurits tucked in the back waist. He was one of Senopati's men from the non-soldier element.

“Hamba, Gusti Senopati!” sahut Gampar Seblak.

“Send the soldiers to call all the leaders of the troops that are inside this Palace!” senopati Gending Suro's.

“Good, Senopati.” (BH)
