Sanggana Swordsman
Kersak 1: The Little Sangana
*Small Sanggana Kingdom (Silver)*
After traveling three days and three nights after the battle on the Hill Path, the group finally arrived at one side of Mount Prabu, precisely at the waist of the mountain. They did not need to climb to the top, just they turned a quarter of the mountain body and looked north.
Joko Calm with his four wives, his two future wives, and his servants, looked towards the north. By then the sun had begun to slip westward.
“Look, Your Highness the Prince! That is the palace given by Gusti Mulia King Anjas Perjana Langit to His Highness Prince Dira!” said Turung Gali while looking far ahead.
Far enough to the north, behind a small forest at the foot of Mount Prabu, there is a sturdy building. Uniquely the stone and wood buildings have roof tops shaped like black domes. The large and spacious building was not fully visible, as it was blocked by the forest.
The view ahead there becomes more beautiful with the presence of a large lake. The calm water of the lake reflects sunlight so it looks like water full of jewelery. It is clear that the building called the palace by Turung Gali is right on the edge of the lake.
“The lake is named Telaga Fatara, His Highness Prince,” said Turung Gali.
“So, who's there?” ask Joko Calmly.
“A number of soldiers and maids led by Commander Dada Perkasa,” Turung Gali replied.
“Beautiful views,” said Kerling Sukma amazed.
“Can the Queen tell me what her beauty is like?” ask Sandaria to Getara Love.
While laughing, Getara Cinta then described what they saw to Sandaria who was sitting on the back of her wolf.
“Waaah, Solar! Finally we have a luxurious palace!” cheer Gembulayu glee.
“The food must be delicious!” timpal Gowo Tungga.
“Lucky you didn't die in the war yesterday!” timpal Surya Kasyara's.
Seen the two friends of the Crazy Drunk Swordsman were so happy to see the existence of the palace that was in sight.
“We leave there!” joko's Order of Calm to his entourage.
To arrive at that unique palace, they had to descend into the forest. In the forest there is one main road that has a snaking groove.
“Worship us warriors Little Sangana to His Royal Highness Prince!” exclaimed two black-clothed men who suddenly appeared two spears in front of the group.
“The mouth of this forest is the outer boundary of the Sanggana Kecil region, His Highness the Prince,” said Turung Gali.
Joko Calmly nodded at her in-laws explanation.
“Wake!” joko's orders were to calm down to the two soldiers.
The two soldiers immediately got out of the way and made way for the entourage.
“If this is the outer limit of Little Sanggana, it is difficult to say Little Sanggana as a kingdom,” said Getara Cinta.
“Something big barawal of a small one,” timpal Nara, Goddess of the Eye of the Heart.
“If Mount Prabu is not in our power, it will be very dangerous for us. Is it known who is the ruler of Mount Prabu?” joko Calm said.
“Not yet, Your Highness the Prince,” replied Turung Gali.
“The mountain is inhabited by many humans,” replied Nara anyway.
“Means we should introduce ourselves to them,” Kerling Sukma said.
“Tonight, in addition to arranging love rations, we also have to arrange plans, duties and positions,” said Joko Calm who made the wives smile.
“Let tonight be my wedding night with Kakang,” Nara said.
“By being happy we will wait our turn,” Tirana said with a smile. He led the horse that carried Ginari's body.
They continued to walk following the forest path that led to Little Sanggana Palace. On that trip, they could feel the existence of some soldiers guarding his post.
Far enough they walked, so they finally arrived at a large field. Nun far ahead, then they could see the existence of Little Sanggana Palace as a whole, which had a stone-walled fortress. The door of the fort was closed.
The party continued walking towards the gate of the Palace fortress. Once close, it turned out that the stone fortress was surrounded by a wide moat. The width of the trench as far as three times the jump of a learned swordsman to lighten the body. The trench water merges with the Lake Fatara which is the back side of the palace.
Gregr!
Suddenly across the trench moved slowly a large and heavy object. The large object moved forward slowly, as if it had a sophisticated drive wheel. After stretching for half the width of the moat, it was clear that it was a giant iron bridge driven by a machine.
Some of Joko Calm's entourage seemed to be fascinated by the technology that made and moved the huge bridge.
Jlegs!
Finally the end of the bridge landed on the edge of the trench which already had an iron field where the object landed and stopped.
Now lies a bridge of iron and thick solid wood. The bridge reaches three fathoms.
The gate of the fortress made of thick wood was dark red in color, slowly opening. After opening, on the lower side is seen standing crowded people who Joko Quiet and others do not know, except Turung Gali.
There were a dozen men in black-and-black uniforms like the two guard soldiers at the mouth of the forest earlier. Behind them were two dozen young women dressed in white.
They were led by a tall, large and densely muscled man. The thick mustachioed man could be estimated to be under fifty years old. He was wearing bright red pants rather gloomy. Because it is not dressed, so the muscle strength of his arms, chest, stomach, and shoulders look handsome to stand out, making women a little unshakable feeling.
The entourage of Joko Settlement stepped on the bridge to the gate.
“Worship us warriors Little Sangana to His Royal Highness Prince!” exclaimed the big man while dropping himself to his knees and bowing in deep respect.
“Worship us warriors Little Sangana to His Royal Highness Prince!” said the male and female soldiers simultaneously while descending to their knees and saluting in.
“Wake up, all of you!” joko Calm's Order.
Joko Calm down and the group stopped in front of the soldiers.
“This is Batik Mida, titled Panglima Dada Perkasa. He was one of the soldiers in the Hundred Stars Army of the Kingdom of Sanggana. He was assigned to lead the army in Sanggana Kecil,”, said Turung Gali introduced himself.
“Yes, Your Highness the Prince. We all obediently serve His Highness the Prince and the princesses,” Batik Mida said with his bass voice.
“How many warriors are you leading here?” tanya Joko Calm is friendly to Batik Mida.
“Two hundred warriors and fifty dayers, His Highness the Prince,” replied Batik Mida.
“Then who's the head of the paddle?” joko asked Calmly again in a friendly manner.
“Hamba, His Highness the Prince!” sahut a beautiful young woman, rather large in stature like Getara Cinta. “Name of servant Chirping Semilir.”
“We all have to clean ourselves and eat, prepare everything!” joko Calm's Order.
“Good, Your Highness Prince,” said Twitter Semilir obediently.
“And you Batik Mida, later tonight prepare all your reports about this region and its surroundings!” joko Calm's Order.
“Good, Your Highness Prince,” said Batik Mida.
“Dissolve yourself all!” joko Calm's Order.
“Good, Your Highness the Prince!” answer the soldiers and the lady-in-waiting simultaneously.
The soldiers and maids immediately moved to disperse neatly.
However, Tirana was troubled by the figure of a ladyboy. He saw there was a ladyboy who often stole a glance at Joko Calm. Not only suspicious because of his suspicious movements, Tirana remembered someone when she saw a glimpse of his face.
“Party stops!” tirana's orders were sudden, somewhat surprising to the others. Then he said, “There are intruders!”
Tirana quickly flashed to one of the maids who was in the line, making the lady in question startled to look beautiful.
Tirana smiled grinning at the lady while trying to block the left arm of the beautiful lady.
However, the ladyboy quickly brushed aside Tirana's hand and attacked her with a fluttering kick towards the face. Easy for Tirana to avoid.
“Hihihi..!” the laughter of the lady-in-waiting flashed backwards away from Tirana and out of the row of maids.
The incident made the soldiers and maids surprised, especially for Chirping Semilir as Head of Dayang. It would obviously be a big deal to him that there was an intruder inside his unit. (BH)
