THE BLOOD OF JAVA
JAVANESE BLOOD: EPISODE 140
"We have conquered village after village. And some big cities are also already harboring our wave of attacks. Just a few steps away, we can already conquer the capital and its surroundings." Maha Patih Putra Candrasa.
"Truly the Most Patih. But now we have to rest our troops who are here first. We should also pay attention to all our troops. Especially now that the defense of the palace of the Yellow Wesi Kingdom has been further strengthened." Lare Damar said.
"Yes. And all that was there were not random people. Reportedly the kings who supported Prabu Bawesi also hired great fighters to defend the capital, especially with the palace."
Lare Damar and Maha Patih Putra Candrasa set up headquarters in an area not far from the capital. In that place was filled with troops from Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. All the access of citizens who enter and exit is carefully checked. For suspicious citizens, they will be immediately detained and interrogated.
Because the kings who now support Prabu Sulawesi, are trying to send spies to the community. And they're very difficult to recognize. Although thousands of Prabu Jabang Wiyagra troops continue to guard this place all the time, but they still have difficulty finding spies sent by the enemy.
During his time in this place, Lare Damar and his entire army stopped the logistics delivery from the Royal palace of Wiyagra Malela. Because in this place Lare Damar and his troops could easily get everything they needed in this place. Logistic deliveries are only intended for people affected by this war.
As well as to provide evidence to them, if the intention of Prabu Jabang Wiyagra is very sincere, to free the people from oppression and misery. Lare Damar and his army are not only focused on war. But they also built fortifications, farms and other needs of the community.
Over time, the people of the Yellow Wesi Kingdom became amazed and wanted to join the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela. They no longer want to feel the cruelty of Prabu Bawesi. They felt much safer the moment Lare Damar and his army arrived at this place. Even many people who voluntarily help the interests of Lare Damar and his troops.
In the Yellow Wesi Kingdom there are many blacksmiths and also people who are experts in agriculture. During the reign of Prabu Babes, many farmers were exiled because they were afraid of being enslaved. In the Yellow Wesi Kingdom, like no one can be smart.
If their intelligence is discovered, then they will be brought to face Prabu Sulawesi. And their intelligence will be used by Prabu Sulawesi to carry out his power ambitions. Of course, those who are good at things will only be enslaved. Unsalaried and without the guarantee of a decent life.
That is what then makes the smart people in the Yellow Wesi Kingdom choose to isolate themselves from the public. Many of them hide in remote forests, which are very far from urban and rural areas.
But after the arrival of Lare Damar and his troops in this place, they all seemed to emerge from the surface. They all volunteered to help Lare Damar and his army. Both in terms of logistics, weaponry, and building defense forts.
The Kingdom of Bala Bathara and the Kingdom of the Son of Bathara are known to have secretly sent a lot of spies, to oversee the movement of troops in the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela. Because their goal later was to suppress the power of Lare Damar and his troops.
By destroying the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela first, so that the strength of Prabu Jabang Wiyagra forces involved in the battle can be reduced. But because Prabu Jabang Wiyagra had read the movements of the Bala Bathara Kingdom and also the Kingdom of the Son of Bathara, finally Prabu Jabang Wiyagra limited all access into the territory of the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela.
Prabu Jabang Wiyagra also sent spies to the Kingdom of the Son of Bathara and the Kingdom of Bala Bathara. From all the information gathered, the two great empires had already strengthened their defenses. They also conducted joint exercises to strengthen each other's forces, each other.
They make a pretty big move. Especially in the field of armaments. Prabu spy Jabang Wiyagra said that the two major kingdoms had sent a lot of weapons logistics to Prabu Sulawesi troops. They send out large quantities of weapons.
It is also known that they are trying to make weapons that are more sophisticated than the cannons used by Prabu Jabang Wiyagra troops. Prabu Jabang Wiyagra finally asked Patih Kinjiri for help, so that Patih Kinjiri sent Utari Gita and Bamantara to prevent this.
Because if they managed to make a superior weapon, then the troops of the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela could get a fierce attack from the troops of the two large kingdoms. The two kingdoms had always interfered in the affairs of the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela. They are always trying to find a gap to bring down Prabu Jabang Wiyagra.
Prabu Jabang Wiyagra often get prisoners from the two kingdoms. Some become robbers, thieves, and also some are trying to be a whiz in the market. But they always get caught. It's just that they don't want to admit what their purpose is to do that. It is clear that they are spies.
Prabu Jabang Wiyagra did not want to attack the two big kingdoms because there are so many factors that would be a problem if the two big kingdoms were destroyed. There will be many civilians who will be victims, because the two great kings had just taken shelter behind the backs of civilians. If Prabu Jabang Wiyagra is not careful, then there will be many innocent people who become victims.
Though actually the defense of the two kingdoms including weak and very bad. It would have been very easy for the enemy forces to destroy the two great empires, if only it had not thought of the civilians who would be the victims. Including Prabu Jabang Wiyagra himself who was actually very furious with them.
Moreover, the two kingdoms often provoke other kingdoms to antagonize Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. With his intelligence, Prabu Jabang Wiyagra can break the false arguments spread by the two great kingdoms, to the kingdoms that support Prabu Jabang Wiyagra.
The Kingdom of Bala Bathara and the Kingdom of the Son of Bathara did not always dirty their own hands. Most of them do everything behind the scenes, using the hands of others. So not all kingdoms know that the Kingdom of Bala Bathara and the Kingdom of the Son of Bathara often commit crimes. Because they play in a very subtle way.
