Sanggana Swordsman
PAC16: Surprising Explosion
*Fight For Love (PAC)*
Finally Joko Calm, Tirana and Kembang Buangi arrived in Kuthanegara before noon. They arrived sooner than expected. Like a strong wind, the three shot in the middle of the crowd of Kuthanegara.
Whuss!
Cackling! Cockroach!
The rooster arena that was crowded in the middle of the royal capital was suddenly in disarray, when there was a wind of something passing by so fast. Roosters who are being pitted or being held by their employers, jump into the air to have a panic attack. They cackled and crowed and ran to pieces leaving the fighting arena.
While the people who swarmed the arena of cockfighting by crouching or standing, all of them were swayed by the wind of the three passing bodies.
“What was it?” ask a jock.
“Do not know, it looks like a demon passing by,” said his friend.
“We are all on the run. This is a sign that the strong wind was the demon of this region,” said another resident, pretentious.
“Piluk mbak kokok!” shouted someone who suddenly appeared in the middle of them like a demon, while shouting for the purpose of scaring.
“Huaaa!” shouted the men who were hooked on cockfighting, when he saw the short-faced old creature appear just like that in front of them.
“Setaaan!” yell them together, then turn right and run back to their respective homes.
“Kok they know my name, yes?” muttered the midget who was none other than the Demon Eyes Demon. He is now alone in the field.
The people around him looked at him from afar and hid. The Demon Eyes Demoness had simply disappeared, entering into the magical realm. Residents who see it increasingly feel met with ghosts in broad daylight.
“Yes can't be so, Ki. Anyway I have all the salak fruit I bought replaced, I lose, almost everything is rotten!” protest of a fat mother with red fists, showing part of her fat upper body. He returned the salak fruit that he had not bought for a long time because he thought it was mostly rotten.
The salesman who was a thin man was cynical, feeling that the woman was fooling him.
“Salak that I sell is as good as salak mine. Why now the rotten ones? You want to trick me, huh?” tukas the fruit seller.
The commotion that occurred on the edge of the Kuthanegara market attracted the attention of a number of residents of the capital.
Whuss! Bruk!
“Hahaha..!”
Suddenly there was a strong and dense wind that passed by just like that, nudging the woman's buttocks slightly bent holding her innate salak. The reluctance of something that is not clear it makes the woman pushed to fall forward, hit the body and merchandise of the battery, even their faces until colliding.
The surrounding citizens who witnessed their quarrels, finally laughed out loud.
After darting apart Kuthanegara with a speed like a demon, finally Joko Calm, Tirana and Kembang Buangi have seen the gate of the castle fortress guarded by a number of soldiers.
“Aku and Kembang Buangi will break in from the front. Tirana, you go straight inside and find Queen Getara!” exclaim Joko Calmly arranged their attack.
“Good, Kakang!” tirana Sahut.
Bress!
Since the direction was straight from the front, the soldiers could see two vague figures coming from afar, fast approaching towards them standing up.
“What is it?!” shouted a spearman in surprise.
Instantly the six of them panicked, as they could not be sure what two creatures were coming closer. However, the closer it gets the more legible it is. They could see a man and a woman darting quickly at them.
“Berhen..!” a soldier shouted among them. Yet....
Sess! Bluer!
A crescent-shaped green beam had shot out smashing the thick gate of the palace fortress.
A few moments earlier, inside the palace.
Prince Zulkar Nain and Princess Alifa Homar were walking side by side towards the stables area. A total of six warriors and four maids followed them behind.
“You have no intention of meeting the queen of the Rocky Jungle, Diajeng?” prince Zulkar Nain asked his brother.
“For what, Kangmas? He should have been killed to pay for Kangmas Serak Bayat's death, but Ayahanda instead wanted to keep him,” said Princess Alifa Homar. “I suspect, the matter of bringing that queen here is not finished just like that. I'm sure it'll have a long tail. I remind you, Kangmas. Now you're a potential successor to Ayahanda, so don't get into trouble. It could be Kangmas who was killed.”
“I have a stand, although I am the prince of Tarumasaga, but I will not recklessly engage in disputes without clearly knowing the sitting of his case,” said Prince Zulkar Nain. “Now the Duke of Rumak Gulai is facing the Fatherland, reporting on the transfer of government of the Duchy of Rebaklaga. I don't think through with Ayahanda's decision.”
“I agree with you, Kangmas. The father was so infatuated with his past love that he sacrificed a duchy. I do not believe that a wicked person like Arjuna Tandang would serve under Tarumasaga. Now he had a great army of swords. What I am worried about, one day he will rebel and instead become a threat to the power of Tarumasaga,” said Princess Alifa Homar.
“What I'm worried about is Mahapatih Yudi Mandala. My father trusted him so much. Now most of the palace officials are siding with him, moreover he is the most powerful person in Tarumasaga.”
“I suggest you approach her daughter. That way, Mahapatih will be embarrassed if he has to seize power belonging to his own son-in-law,” said Alifa Homar.
“Love it can't be engineered that way, Diajeng. I am friends with the god Yuda, but I am not interested in his sister. I still believe I can captivate the Shadow Goddess of Death,” Prince Zulkar Nain said.
The two of them finally arrived at the spacious stables. In that place, a lot of horses were laid. Looks like the workers are busy in their respective duties, taking care of the horse to clean the cage.
Bluer!
However, not to mention the two of them arriving at the stables of the two of them, suddenly one huge explosive sound came as a surprise. Not only every human being in the place, the horses were shocked, causing a moment of panic among the horsemen.
Greater shock came to Prabu Cokro Ningrat who was in the palace hall with a number of officers and officials. However, among them there was no Mahapatih Yudi Mandala, because he got permission from Prabu Cokro Ningrat to rest a few days after the success of his mission.
“What is it?” asked Prabu Cokro Ningrat while standing looking far outside the palace hall.
The officers and officials who were seated stood up. They also looked out and looked at each other. No one can answer, because it is invisible.
“It looks like the explosion came from the castle fortress, His Eminence Prabu,” said a moderately but gallant officer with ideal body muscles. A number of jewelry marks his departure embedded in his clothes and body. The officer bare-chested and sharp-eyed was Patih Segoro Mukti. “Let me see what happens, Your Highness Prabu.”
“Go, quickly report what happened there!” the Prabu Cokro Ningrat.
The distance between the gate of the castle fortress and the hall was indeed quite far. However, the awesomeness of all the science of Joko Calm which has increased due to the influence of the Holy Blood Gem, is also heard to the ears of Queen Getara Cinta in her room.
The queen's eyes closed, opening slowly. Hearing the sound of the distant explosion, the first thing that was imagined in his conjecture was the arrival of Joko Calm.
“Joko, did you come? If it is you, it means we are meant to be together,” made Queen Getara Love. (BH)
