Pendekar Batari Mahadewi: The Journey to Find Your Self
Episode 129 The Journey of the Royal Company
Mahapatih Siung Tigers Kumbang ordered Anjani and Pradipa to help escort the Swargabhumi royal family from the town of Pearl Biru to the city of Swargadwipa. The two cities are two weeks away on a full-strength horse-raced ride. According to estimates, the group will arrive in the city of Swargadwipa within three weeks of departure from the city of Blue Pearl.
Anjani and Pradipa had arrived at the Blue Pearl city hall the day before the Swargabhumi royal entourage arrived. Mahapatih Siung Tigers Beetles feel unsettled entrusting escort to the special soldiers alerted in the town of Blue Pearl and some warriors from the Langit Lantern college. Therefore, he sent Anjani and Pradipa as additional assistance.
That afternoon, at the meeting hall of the city of Blue Pearl, duke Balawardha presided over the assembly with his plan of welcome and safety, until the procession of escort from Blue Pearl to the city of Swargadwipa. He read out all the flow and procedures and the division of the team that will work on each task.
Anjani and Pradipa only listened to the event. The two will join a special bodyguard division led by Senopati Welang and assisted by four senior warriors from the sky lantern college. The rest are highly capable soldiers.
“Please excuse me, senopati. Arriving in this city, we even first met the duke. We both adapt the messenger Mahapatih Siung Tiger Beetles who are assigned as additional bodyguards. I am Anjani from the Padepokan Cemara Seribu, and my colleague this is Pradipa, an East Star swordsman.” Kata Anjani introduced himself to Senopati Welang.
“It is an honor for me to get help directly from the high-scientific swordsman emissary mahapatih. Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. This help is certainly very much expected. I am sure this escort trip will not run smoothly.” Senopati Welang.
Senopati Welang is one of the best senopati owned by Swargadwipa. He was assigned to lead the entire royal army stationed in the Blue Pearl city for many years, considering that the city was a border town that required many high-skilled soldiers.
During the night, Senopati Welang sent dozens of spies scattered throughout the town of Mutiara Biru, as well as along the route to monitor any suspicious movements. The troops have been well trained and have high capabilities so that their disguise will hardly be exposed even by magic swordsmen though.

The next day, before noon, the Swargabhumi royal entourage had arrived at the Blue Pearl city. The entourage was greeted with great fanfare by the duke of Balawardha with a variety of art performances and special dishes made by expert chefs from the town of Blue Pearl.
The escort in the city was so tight that it did not provide a gap for the Face of Satan and his hired warriors who had disguised themselves in such a way that they were not tracked by the senopati Welang spy soldiers. Suppose the Face of Satan hired a lot of troops, of course the movement will be very easy to read.
The faces of Satan and his men could only observe the state of the Blue Pearl city hall which was heavily guarded by many warriors. They didn't expect that the escort would be that tight. Thus, the Face of Satan undoes his intentions and invites his men back to the headquarters and talks about a new plan.
“I didn't think the guard would be that tight, if this is the story, we can't finish off the sixth prince in this city.” The Face of Satan.
“Mr right. We'd better attack them at night when they're on their way. Maybe in the middle of the forest is the most appropriate location. There were many dense forests that they had to pass through. Certainly, there will be one forest that will not be completed within two days of travel.” The word of the swordsman Laba-Laba.
“Yes, I like your proposal. We just wait for the movement of the group.” said the Face of Satan.
“Look it. We came separately. That way our existence will not be suspected. I offered myself as the first attacker. I can slow down their journey while waiting for you to arrive following a surprise attack. At least, they won't be able to kill me so easily.” The word of the Thousand Lives.
“Kill also the spies you know of.” The Face of Satan.

The group set off on a sunny morning after they all spent the night in the town of Blue Pearl. Senopati Welang brought at least fifty selected soldiers accompanied by four senior warriors of the Langit Lantern, Anjani and Pradipa colleges. They were all on horseback, and four chariots, one for the prince and four of his personal guards and the other three to carry all the provisions. The entire Swargabhumi royal guard soldiers had returned home when the escort was taken over by Senopati Welang.
Anjani and Pradipa served as the front-most bodyguards, right behind the ten road-opening soldiers. Senopati Welang and the other cavalrymen were all around the carriage they were guarding. Meanwhile, the four senior warriors from the Sky Lantern college were at the very back row.
The group continued to accelerate quickly, and occasionally only stopped by for a moment in the villages or other cities they passed to rest. They prefer to spend the night in the forest-side meadows and set up tents there. At least, in such an open space, an intruder would be easier to spot when compared to staying in the city.
Initially, the sixth prince Swargabhumi had protested because the group did not want to rest and stay in the city or village they passed. However, he and his personal bodyguard could do little but obey the procedures of the royal guard Swargadwipa. The sixth prince never knew that he was being crushed by his father to start a war.
On the seventh day, on an afternoon before evening, the group was still in the middle of the forest of Gaung, the most extensive forest they had to travel to the city of Swargadwipa. In addition to the wild beasts that inhabited the forest, various demons also established kingdoms, in the darkest and most untouched parts of the forest.
It is not impossible that such a forest is also a hiding place for robbers, or a place of asceticism for some wandering swordsmen who are improving their abilities. Clearly, the group was not the only human group in the forest.
Ki Wiraguna, one of the seniors from Langit Lantern college put up a repulsion spell around the group set up a tent. He was the only swordsman who mastered the science of white magic in the escort troupe. The function of the spell is to resist stealth interference and protect the group from black magic sent from a distance such as the science of sirep, which will make the entire group fall asleep, and science of magic.
The Ghost Face Swordsman and his men scattered in the six directions surrounding the entourage from a great distance. As they agreed, the Thousand Lives warrior would attack first. It has a unique science, that it cannot be killed unless its head is separated from its body, then the head is hung in a place so that it will not touch the ground. Within forty days, he would be completely dead.
Therefore, he was sure that he could survive a long time against the attacks of the magic warriors and soldiers who escorted the entourage. The Thousand Lives Swordsman decided to start attacking when the day was completely dark.
