Pendekar Batari Mahadewi: The Journey to Find Your Self
Episode 187 of the Civil War
In Swargadwipa, aid from the eastern kingdoms had already arrived. Two of Swargadwipa's allies, the Swargaloka and Madyabhumi kingdoms, each sent two hundred and fifty thousand soldiers. Thanks to the slowing of the Swargabhumi troop journey, the troop assistance has arrived first in Swargadwipa.
Now the number of troops in Swargadwipa as many as one million soldiers and ten thousand warriors from various universities in Swargadwipa, Swargaloka and Madyabhumi. Mahapatih Siung Tiger Beetle could breathe a sigh of relief because the amount of power he had was more than enough to get rid of Swargabhumi's army.
Mahapatih Siung Tigers Kumbang also feel more excited after getting the latest news from the Swargabhumi troop movement. The Mahapatih was secretly amazed by the lunge of Pradipa and the warriors led by him. The efforts made by Pradipa and his team produced many results that not only slowed the journey of enemy troops, but also greatly reduced the number of troops and the mentality of all Swargabhumi troops.
Mahapatih Siung Tigers Kumbang also got the news that Mahapatih Hamapadayana sent a hundred thousand troops to the Blue Pearl to punish one of his artists who he considered to have been presumptuous for rebuilding the city to be more magnificent again from before. That way, Mahapatih Siung Tigers Beetles have other plans. He would not wait for Swargabhumi's troops to come to the royal city of Swargadwipa, but the mahapatih wanted to destroy the party before they reached the royal city of Swargadwipa.
The first thing that was done by Mahapatih Siung Tigers Kumbang was to send a message to Jalu to prepare his troops towards the Blue Pearl. After Swargabhumi's forces attack each other and one of the group has lost, then Jalu and his troops will finish the rest with the aim of regaining control of the Blue Pearl city without losing many soldiers.
Furthermore, Mahapatih Siung Tigers Kumbang sent messengers to various cities in Swargadwipa to start moving troops towards the town of Kayu Wangi which became a temporary stopover of Swargabhumi troops.
The third thing to do is to prepare the entire joint force, all the war equipment and all the need to attack the Swargabhumi forces. Mahapatih Siung Tigers Beetles are very confident this time is the right time to win the fight.
Meanwhile, in the town of Blue Pearl, Girimaya's senopati was really agitated by the news he was listening to. Pradipa tried to calm him down.
“Senopathy, surely your success will cause envy for others. I believe Aryasakti has said something that makes Mahapatih Hamapadayana misinterpret your efforts to build this city. Don't worry, there are still a few more days to prepare the troops. Believe me, in this fortress we will not be overthrown by Aryasakti troops who supposedly numbered a hundred thousand soldiers.” Pradipa.
“But master swordsman, this is not what I was really expecting.” Girimaya.
“If Mahapatih Hamapadayana sees for himself the hard work and the intention of senopati effort, of course he will provide support. Only, he knew from Aryasakti. Anyone would be envious of the current position of senopathy and there must be a desire to drop senopathy. Senopati must be convinced that this effort is for the good of Swargabhumi. Senopati must defend it. We fought Aryasakti together. He only brought soldiers and makeshift war equipment that would not be able to penetrate this fortress. I'll give you instructions to survive.” Pradipa.
Of course Pradipa is very happy with the development that is happening at this time. Moreover, he has gotten the secret news that Jalu is assigned to retake the Blue Pearl city. Pradipa plans to make Aryasakti or Girimaya both lose a lot of soldiers.
During the wait for the arrival of Swargabhumi forces led by Aryasakti, Pradipa and Girimaya prepared troops and all the long-range weaponry they had. Although Girimaya was outnumbered by soldiers, he had a sturdy fortress, more weaponry, and more powerful warriors than Aryasakti had.
Pradipa once again gave a thought that made Girimaya agree to it.
“If senopati surrender without a fight, it is certain Mahapatih Hamapadayana will give the death penalty. If I become senopati, even though both will die, but I will choose to die defending this city. Second, if senopati survive in this city, then the possibility of winning is still there.” Pradipa.
“But if today we can win, won't Mahapatih send another army here?” ask Girimaya.
“There is no way Mahapatih will do it again. He had to save money to face Swargadwipa's forces. A few days ago I actually went to find out everything about Swargadwipa. I managed to catch one of Swargadwipa's spies and then I managed to get him to tell me a lot about the situation that was there. I'm not sure what he's saying is the right thing. But I choose to think it's right. That at present, Swargadwipa has one million troops plus tens of thousands of warriors.” Pradipa.
“Means, Mahapatih Hamapadayana is facing a difficult thing.” Girimaya.
“Absolutely. Although Mahapatih has more troops, but the quality of Swargabhumi's forces is smaller than Swargadwipa's. I suspect, Mahapatih Hamapadayana will retreat to the city of Pearl Biru and he will be very grateful for senopati has made the defense in this city very strong.” Pradipa.
“I understand, master swordsman. All right, we'll defend this city as best we can for Swargabhumi.” Girimaya.
Girimaya refused Aryasakti's orders. War can no longer be avoided. Aryasakti's army moved closer to the very tall and sturdy fort. Armed with only a few stone-throwing cars, Aryasakti's troops tried to break into one of the points in the fort. The stone-throwing train was the best owned by Swargabhumi who had all been brought by Mahapatih Hamapadayana and some were loaned out to Aryasakti's forces.
Meanwhile, the stone thrower made in the Blue Pearl was not as strong as the one used by Aryasakti. So, Aryasakti can make long-range shots and Girimaya can not reply. Imbasnya, one of the points in the Blue Pearl fortress can be destroyed and that point became the entrance for the aryasakti troops.
As soon as the Aryasakti troops with dark eyes moved forward to enter the Blue Pearl city. Hundreds of stone-throwing carts that Girimaya owned began to be utilized. Not only that, Girimaya set aside ten thousand troops as an archer. As a result, hundreds of thousands of arrows and thousands of large stones thrown from behind the fort had killed countless Aryasakti troops before they even managed to enter the city. Then the rest of the Aryasakti soldiers managed to get into the fortress and slaughtered each other with their own brothers.
Pradipa and some of his fellow warriors had moved away from the city secretly. They monitor the war from a considerable distance. Pradipa is very satisfied. Victory is in sight. He sent two of his companions to inform Jalu and his troops who had been hiding in a forest not far from the town of Blue Pearl.
