THE BLOOD OF JAVA
JAVANESE BLOOD: EPISODE 126
The Patih Kinjiri forces, under the command of Utari Gita, were ordered to carry out a small attack on Maha Patih Jogo Rogo's territory. Utari Gita with his army of fifty men tried to comb through all the places in the area.
They walked very slowly and very carefully. Utari Gita and his troops also wear all-black clothes so that their faces are not known. Especially at night, their existence will be difficult to see in the lush areas of the tree.
Utari Gita began to see a movement from above. They all fell on the ground. And put their ears together, to listen to every step that is heading towards them all.
Slowly the voices of the people talking began to be heard. There were about three people who turned out to be driving around to conduct surveillance in the area. And they all seem to be villagers who have been influenced by Maha Patih Jogo Rogo.
It sounds like they are planning something.
"We make it in this place only. It seems like a suitable place to put these bamboos." Say one of them.
"Yes. Let's dig the hole now." Answer one of his friends.
Utari Gita and his army watched them all closely. It was seen that they had started digging the ground. The bamboo they brought had started to be planted in the hole.
One person went into the hole, while the other two watched from the outside.
Utari Gita then signaled to his troops to kill the two people who were on top, as well as one person who was in the hole. It was the person who was on top, smothered his mouth and was directly stabbed in their stomach. While the other one, who was in the hole, had his head directly pierced with a sword.
Utari Gita then left the place along with his troops, continuing their movement. Little by little Utari Gita and his troops began to reach the hilly region, which became the headquarters of Maha Patih Jogo Rogo and his troops.
From a distance it sounded like there was the boisterous sound of a crowd.
"Ney, it's them up there." Said one of the soldiers in a soft voice.
"Calm down first, our job is just to keep an eye out, not to ambush them. Just calculate all their numbers correctly, and make sure anyone important people are there." Utari Gita's.
"Nyi is good."
From what they estimate, the total number of troops owned by Maha Patih Jogo Rogo is about five thousand people or more. There is also Ditya Kalana and his followers. Ditya Kalana and Maha Patih Jogo Rogo combined their forces into one.
They also look like they are preparing something important. There are many of them who are practicing, some are sharpening their swords, and there are also those who are being trained in magic by Ditya Kalana. It seems that their power is really great.
Maha Patih Jogo Rogo wants all troops to have at least one science, such as the science of light-level blows, to attack their enemies. That way the strength of their troops are classified as still small, can still compete with the strength of their enemy, namely the forces of the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela.
After getting a pretty clear picture of the place, Utari Gita and his troops immediately retreated from the hill area. When down, they move very fast and are very agile. And it turns out that this was realized by the Maha Patih Jogo Rogo troops who were on guard.
Utari Gita and his troops were showered by thousands of arrows and also several spears that were quite large in size, and could die immediately if hit by the spear.
"Come fast! We don't have much time!" Utari Gita's orders to all his surviving troops.
Fortunately, at that time Utari Gita and his troops had brought their own horses. So that when they had reached their horse hiding place, they could all immediately escape quickly. They had to leave the dead.
Utari Gita's position was very close to the defensive fort, he could already see the defensive fort from afar very clearly. But from behind, there were still enemies following them. Utari Gita is continuously being harvested relentlessly by Maha Patih Jogo Rogo's forces.
Fortunately, Bamantara and his troops immediately came out and formed a defense to protect Utari Gita and his troops who were trying to save themselves.
"Hurry to the Gita fortress!" Bamantara Shouts.
Patih Kinjiri immediately ordered his troops to use their weapons. All of the cannons that were there, used to attack the forces of Maha Patih Jogo Rogo whose existence is not far from the fort.
The sound of booms and explosions from cannon weapons, heard up to the hideout of Maha Patih Jogo Rogo. Maha Patih Jogo Rogo was very surprised because he did not think that the troops who were convinced to attack Utari Gita had reached the defense fortress.
Though Maha Patih Jogo Rogo only ordered them to expel Utari Gita and his troops, not chasing them up to the Fortress. Two hundred of the best archers ran away, as they continued to be pounded with cannons.
Coupled with the darts of the Bamantara troops, which made their ranks more and more unbecoming. Many of them died, leaving only a few dozen. They were clearly impossible to deal with the cannon weapons that were pounding them continuously.
Although the task of Utari Gita and his team can be declared a failure, but at least Patih Kinjiri still benefit. Because now, the number of Maha Patih Jogo Rogo troops has reduced quite a lot. It is certain that Maha Patih Jogo Rogo will ride apatam. He would definitely attempt to counterattack in any way.
At that time, Patih Kinjiri and his troops will attack Maha Patih Jogo Rogo all-out. Even if there will not only be two possibilities that can be done by Maha Patih Jogo Rogo. The first was, to attack the defensive fortress secretly. And second, get out of his hiding place as quickly as possible.
......................
Prabu Jabang Wiyagra was quite proud, after hearing that a small part of the troops from Maha Patih Jogo Rogo had been killed. Although dozens of troops from Patih Kinjiri there are dead, but it is still a matter of pride. Because the sacrifice of Patih Kinjiri troops is not in vain.
Prabu Jabang Wiyagra has also been told exactly how strong the defense and strength of the opponent. So that Prabu Jabang Wiyagra can estimate How many troops he will send to attack Maha Patih Jogo Rogo. Because, Prabu Jabang Wiyagra wants Patih Kinjiri and his troops to stay on guard in the fortress.
While those who carried out the attack were Prabu Sura Kalana and his troops, who would be assisted by Mangku Cendrasih, Prince Rawaja Pati, and also Maha Patih Putra Candrasa. The goal of Prabu Jabang Wiyagra is, so that Ditya Kalana is not killed while the attack is ongoing.
Prabu Jabang Wiyagra believes that there is still good in Ditya Kalana. And it would be very fitting if Ditya Kalana met with her brother, Prabu Sura Kalana. Because the behavior of Ditya Kalana is not entirely his own fault. All of that is the result of the influence of Gabah Lanang.
