Pendekar Batari Mahadewi: The Journey to Find Your Self
Episode 153 Victory Is Defeat
Mahapatih Siung Tigers Kumbang ordered his troops to immediately burn the trench as the last fortress. In the air, hundreds of thousands of arrows from both camps were still continuing to fly in search of prey. Swargadwipa soldiers still benefited because although the fort had been partially destroyed, but there were still many shelters from the rain of arrows from the enemy.
In contrast, Swargabhumi's troops only used a shield to shelter from the rain of Swargadwipa's arrows. Slowly but surely, the ranks of the enemy forces were getting closer. Some warriors from the enemy side put up tree trunks as a bridge for the soldiers to penetrate the fire trenches. Only the magic swordsmen had energy shields to shelter from the rain of arrows or fire.
As soon as the enemy troops began to cross the fire trenches, the long-range weapons war changed with physical warfare. Swargadwipa warriors began slaughtering enemy soldiers before they met their corresponding opponents, Swargabhumi warriors. Meanwhile, the soldiers from both sides tenaciously swung their swords, spears, and all the weapons they brought to finish off their opponents. That unbalanced number makes every Swargadwipa soldier must be able to kill three enemy soldiers.
Swargadwipa's warriors and senopati fought like fidelity. The existence of the magicians was needed by Swargadwipa in order to finish off as many enemy troops as possible.
Meanwhile, Mahapatih Siung Tigers Beetles are still in the tower, giving cues to senopati-senopati along with other soldiers who are still preparing for the next wave of attacks. And from the top of the tower, the patih moves small groups of troops with sign language that only Swargadwipa soldiers know.
Tens of thousands of lives have been lost in an instant. The Blue Pearl Earth was filled with blood and lifeless bodies. The screams and screams of boisterous death echoed in all directions. When the first wave of Swargadwipa had been exhausted and had also finished off half of the number of opposing forces, Mahapatih Siung Tigers Beetle and the rest of the second wave of troops plunged into the arena, plowing down as many lives as possible before their own lives would drift along with dust and black smoke billowing through the air.
Mahapatih Siung Tiger Beetle darted quickly with both energy mace in his right and left hand. One swing of the mace took the lives of dozens of enemy soldiers. He constantly danced with his moves on top of the pile of corpses. His whole body was covered in blood and sweat. His sharp eyes and loud screams made all the enemy soldiers choose to step aside to avoid him.
The dance and cry of the Patih Siung Tigers Beetle became a spirit for his own soldiers who were very proud to be at war under the leadership of a brave mahapatih.
The war continued until the sun went down. None of the enemy's lives were left in the shade of twilight that day. However, not a few Swargadwipa troops have lost their lives.
Once again, Swargadwipa temporarily won. Mahapatih Siung Tigers Beetles only had five hundred soldiers left, some senopati and warriors on his side. No one could breathe a sigh of relief even though the war on that day was over. It could be that the remaining Swargabhumi forces will attack at night.
Therefore, with few soldiers left, the Mahapatih Siung Tigers Bumblebee ordered all those in the Blue Pearl to evacuate to the city of Dhyana. Victory does not mean victory. With two hundred thousand fallen troops, Swargabhumi had managed to take control of the Blue Pearl. So, on that day, neither side felt victorious.
Swargadwipa had lost the city of Blue Pearls, while Swargabhumi had lost almost half of all the soldiers they had brought. Both sides felt bitter.
After the war on that day and before nightfall, Mahapatih Siung Tigers immediately ordered to retreat without buying time to rest. The entire humans in the Blue Pearl at that time also left the border city full of memories. All civilians had been evacuated long before. There were no more humans in Blue Pearl City except for Ki Cakra Jagad and some of his students who still lived in the Sky Lantern college.
The senior founder of the Langit Lantern college must be on the neutral side, as all other senior warriors across the island of Mahabhumi have agreed that they must not participate in the battle, except defending the college from attack if it happens.
Ki Cakra Jagad has no reason to evacuate. After all, Swargabhumi did not want to risk losing many lives if he dared to set foot in the Langit Lantern college located at the very edge of the Blue Pearl city.
As Mahapatih Siung Tigers Beetle and his troops and followers left the Blue Pearl, the entire Swargabhumi army also moved towards the desolate city. They will establish a new border, where the city of Blue Pearl has become part of Swargabhumi once the city has fallen.
In that city, the Patih Hamapadayana will reorganize his plans, as well as restore all the conditions of his strength. The help of additional soldiers who will move towards Swargabhumi kingdom will not be able to come in a matter of days. They might come in a few weeks. So, all Hamapadayana can do is restore the condition, improve the city for the residence of the soldiers, and no less important is to clean up the hundreds of thousands of bodies lying on the ground.
That grueling and terrible thing they had to do quickly, because otherwise the pile of corpses would be a problem. Not only was the smell of the carcass disturbing, but the pile of rotting corpses could be a source of infectious diseases that could consume all the soldiers living in the city.
After a five-day journey from the Blue Pearl, finally the group of Mahapatih Siung Tiger Beetles arrived in the city of Dhyana. The group was greeted with haru and grateful because the patih still survived.
“Luck uncle congratulations.” Greet Jalu.
“Yes, I can't let the remaining troops die in vain. Next, the city will be targeted. But it could be that the enemy troops will not pass through this city, but choose to pass the short path by breaking through the forest. If they passed through this city, then the fate of this city would be the same as the Blue Pearl, but the enemy would definitely lose many warriors. But if the enemy passes through the forest, then they can definitely risk that we will attack from behind when they arrive at Swargadwipa.” Mahapatih Siung Tigers Kumbang.
“About when will they start moving again, uncle?” ask Jalu.
“Amonths fastest. We still have time to rearrange our strategy. Who knows if the other kingdoms on our side will send additional reinforcements. To be sure, if the enemy only relied on the rest of the soldiers they had, or only added five hundred thousand additional soldiers, then they would not be able to win.” Mahapatih Siung Tigers Kumbang.
“Does uncle have no desire to mess up the enemy's preparations in the Blue Pearl? Me and Niken are ready to do it and we will definitely go home safely.” Said Jalu who was very confident in his new abilities, then he and Niken could create chaos in the Blue Pearl, or just leave a bad experience for his enemies.

Tonight I can write only one chapter. It seems I'm malnourished for not daring to shop or snack outside. At least, I'm still doing well in the midst of this increasingly worrisome outbreak. May you all avoid the plague, the misfortune, and all obstacles, today and beyond. Amens.
Every now and then through this little note, I want to answer some of the comments of friends in various chapters. Friends can ask questions and if I think I need a long answer, then I will answer it this way.
Well, for the first thing I want to respond first is about the short length of this story, maybe from some readers there are who do not enjoy if a novel is too long.
In the synopsis part of the story, and at the beginning of the story, friends must know that this story will bring together Batari Mahadevi and King Giant Kalapati, right? Exactly right. The story will finish at that point.
But before getting there, Batari Mahadevi must be able to open all the energy locked in his body and therefore, he and his friend Nala that I throw into the world of three months. It's the best place to improve their skills.
In addition, in the world of one moon there will be two major events before Kalapati descends from heaven. The first incident is still ongoing, namely the war between kingdoms in Mahabhumi. The second incident was the arrival of the black kingdom, the kingdom of Tira Yamani led by the queen Ogha. I mentioned this in chapter2 earlier, so I did not make it up and meant to lengthen the story. As a leak, Ogha's cute and sexy queen has something to do with Nala's past.
So the plot is clear, friends. Hopefully not until the chapter 300 story is over. But if the story is molorous, of course molorya because the whole story needs an additional chapter. I don't know about this yet. To be sure, I will try that in each subsequent chapter, the story is getting interesting with new things (not repetition, or misappropriation of plot that I don't know).
Well, what I keep secret is the fate of the main characters in this story, friends. So do not get tired of following this story until the end yes, let's know the fate of Tari, Nala, Jalu, and Niken.
After the novel ends, is there a continuation? I don't know yet. To be sure I was trying to compose a new novel before PBM ended, a story that tells the life of a young man who eventually became a master of black legend in the martial world. The background of the kayak story is not far away very, namely in the era of Hindu-Buddhist kingdoms in Java. Maybe you know, wkwkwkwkwk.if PBM right in the era before there are ancient kingdoms in the archipelago, a fictitious era that I make at will, hehehe…
Wokay, guys, so long ago. I will be happy to answer the questions of friends if there are (Related to the process of writing PBM of course) and please convey in the comments column.
That's it, friends, thank you very much for all the support that friends have given.I can not repay the kindness of all friends other than trying to write for friends, and pray; may in these terrible days, we all always be healthy and safe, always abundant with fortune and peace in the heart. Amens.
