Sanggana Swordsman
Paddy Yeast 16: The Great Army and Two Women
*Prince Dira VS Queen Ginari (Padi Ragi)*
Finally Joko Calm relented. He sat down by his father-in-law's side. While Gowo Tungga and Gembulayu were silent stiff in the car room. They did not dare to speak or have much behavior near Mutual Dipa who looked at them sharply.
Surya Kasyara rode a horse and walked in front. The women walk behind with the wolves.
However, as they went through the bamboo forest path, the group had to stop. From the front there was a troop of cavalrymen. The number of troops was quite large with fifty horsemen. The soldiers were wearing blue and white uniforms, indicating that they were troops from the Baturaharja Kingdom.
The army was led by a gallant officer who was not dressed, but dressed in black. He was almost half a century old, but his body strength showed good muscles. It has a thick mustache with a headdress in the form of a silver metal ring. Both of his burly arms were strangled by silver bracelets. The metal belt is yellow gold. There was a nice keris tucked behind his waist. It is Duri Manggala, Senopati Kingdom of Baturaharja.
Senopati Duri Manggala stopped his troops and ordered the entourage of Joko Tenang to stop. He soon realized that the group he dismissed was no ordinary troupe, because he saw the existence of five wolves ridden by beautiful women, such as models who were paid to participate in the carnival.
“Hei! Why stop our trip?!” hardik Surya Kasyara, acting not afraid to die.
“Who are you and where are you going?!” tanya Senopati Duri Manggala is no less loud.
“We are Ke's entourage…. Adaw!” scream Surya Kasyara with a body that fell from the horse's back. A deep force had struck his left shoulder from behind.
Turung Gali has sent a long-range punch against Surya Kasyara on the orders of Joko Tenang.
“Force us, Gusti,” said Joko Calm who had stood up from his seat. He respectfully bowed a little.
Senopati Duri Manggala then advanced his horse closer to the position of Joko Calm and Turung Gali.
“I forgive my soldier's silliness. He is a new soldier, does not understand manners,” said Joko Calm.
“Who are you, Kisanak?” tanya Senopati Duri Manggala's.
“I Prince Dira of the Kingdom of Sanggana Kecil. We are on the way home and have to go through the territory of the Kingdom of Baturaharja,” replied Joko Calm.
“I'm sorry, Prince. I did not expect that you were a royal entourage. Your looks fooled me. However, I just this time heard the name of the kingdom you mentioned it,” said Senopati Duri Manggala.
“My kingdom is north of Mount Prabu. We are a small kingdom, very far when compared to Baturaharja,” replied Joko Calm down.
Senopati Duri Manggala. Then he looked behind the car. He looked at the beautiful women who were sitting on the wolf's gloom.
“Then who are they?” senopati asked again, like a traffic cop who stops rogue riders.
“They are my wives,” replied Joko Calmly while smiling happily.
“Waw!” sesah Senopati Duri Manggala. Then he said in his heart, “Although I am highly trained, but if I have to deal with these five big dogs, it can run out of half the horses of my army. These beautiful women must be high-scientific warriors. I could see their composure sitting on top of his dogs..”.
“If you don't mind, with whom do I meet?” ask Joko Calmly.
“I Senopati Duri Manggala. Oh yes, have you ever met a young man named Laga Patra?”
“As I recall we never met the young man,” replied Joko Calmly. “Do Senopati intend to go to the Duchy of Surosoh?”
“How can Prince know?” tanya Senopati Duri Manggala.
“We had a stop in the Duchy of Surosoh. The condition is quite not good,” replied Joko Calm. “There urgently needs the arrival of officers from the Kingdom. I think Senopati do not delay time.”
“Alright, glad to know the Prince,” said Senopati Duri Manggala.
Joko Calm just smiled nodding.
Senopati then signaled to his troops to continue the journey. The horsemen then continued their horse steps, passing the entourage of Joko Calm. When passing through the group of wolves, a sense of amazement and fascination mixed with horror in the soldiers' hearts. It could be that one wolf suddenly turned in one horse, then chaos would ensue. However, that did not happen until the troops completely stayed away from Joko Calm's entourage.
“Surya! You can't treat everyone the same way you treat a lowly person. Even though your power is higher, still you must humble yourself and respect others!” hardik Turung Gali to Surya Kasyara.
“The more often you are wrong, the more you will learn,” said Joko Calam tried wisely, even though he had ordered Turung Gali to stop Surya Kasyara. “We continue the journey!”
The journey resumed.
However, when they arrived at the crossroads, they had to stop.
From the direction of the cutting road, passed the army of soldiers in black yellow uniforms. Their numbers are not tens or hundreds, but thousands. They passed at the crossroad in front of Joko's entourage Calm, long and long.
The army was complete with cavalry, pedestrians, troops carrying goods and equipment, and its retainers. There are also drummers and trumpets. The crowded banners fluttered in colour.
Joko Calm and the others did not have time to see the leading party, so they did not see the form of the leader of the large army.
“This is clearly a war troop,” near Turung Gali.
“But where do they go across the territory of Baturaharja?” asked Joko Calm who could not be answered by her in-laws.
After waiting for quite a long time, the troops that passed by were finally exhausted.
“Me and Tirana have faced more troops in the country across the ocean while looking for the Holy Blood Gem,” said Joko Calm. “We continue our journey, Father!”
Joko Calm's entourage returned to continue the journey. They took a straight route towards the forested hilly area.
After leaving the crossroads for half an hour, the group stopped again. It was not because of the passing of the troops or the passing of the troops, but there was a woman dressed in white who was running small from the opposite direction, carrying the body of another woman on her back.
Light green-clothed women who are carried on the back as in a fainting state or die, because they do not move.
Seeing that there was one riding troupe, the white-clothed woman stopped several spears in front of Surya Kasyara's horse. He looked up, so his beautiful face was white and sweaty clean and his hair was a bit tangled. His eyes were red from crying since then. With a hurry he quickly approached Surya Kasyara.
“Decars! Swordsman! Please save Nyai Kisut!” shouted the beautiful woman with a long face. Uniquely, the woman had a kind of child-like voice.
Surya Kasyara did not immediately respond, but he looked back, looking at Joko Calm.
“Ask!” joko Calm's Order.
“Nisaak, what happened? And who are you guys?” surya Kasyara asked the young woman who still looked young.
“Huuu! Hiks hyks! I Smile at Dusk. The one I carry is Nyai Kisut. Nyai Kisut is seriously injured, I'm afraid he's dead, please save him!” the woman replied, crying in panic.
From the back, floated the figure of Tirana and Getara Love. This time they left the wolf. The two gracefully landed near the woman who claimed to be named Senandung Dusk.
With an anxious look, Senandung Dusk looked back. It seemed that he was worried that someone was chasing him or that someone was chasing him.
“The woman was chased by Baturaharja warriors,” said Joko Calmly while looking at the end of the road.
From the end of the road, a group of men in blue and white uniforms were running over. The number of soldiers was around twenty people led by two men of swordsman stature.
Seeing the arrival of the horde, Senandung Dusk showed an increasingly frightened face. He hurriedly ran and placed himself behind the backs of Tirana and Getara Love.
“They want to kill us! Help us!” shouted Smile Dusk in fear.
As the group of soldiers got closer, Senandung Dusk grew more and more frightened. He hurriedly turned around and ran to the back.
“Aaa..!” the scream of Smiling Dusk was so hysterical when he saw the existence of the big wolves. Dusk's smile suddenly fell onto the ground unconscious.
Joko Calm and Turung Gali immediately went down and lifted the bodies of the two women.
“You're out all!” command Joko Quiet to Reksa Dipa, Gowo Tungga and Gembulayu in the car room. (BH)
