THE BLOOD OF JAVA
JAVANESE BLOOD: EPISODE 181
Under the direction of Maha Patih Salara, all troops in the Bala Bathara Kingdom were ordered to guard their territory well. Seeing the opportunity in narrowness, Maha Patih Salara tried to take the Sympathy of the troops of Prabu Barajang.
Maha Patih Salara rose to the top of the pulpit, to give his speech to all those in the royal court courtyard of Bala Bathara Kingdom. Maha Patih Salara tried to take the leadership subtly, from Prabu Barajang. Indeed, the court officials, both the Patih and other officials, were more respectful to Maha Patih Salara.
Because all this time, secretly Maha Patih Salara has tried to take the hearts of the people in the palace. He also dreamed of becoming a king. But in a different way from Prabu Barajang. Maha Patih Salara actually wants to make his people love him.
During this time he influenced Prabu Barajang, so that his big name as a great king became damaged. That way, all the people of Bala Bathara Kingdom will doubt the leadership of Prabu Barajang. They would prefer to obey the orders of Maha Patih Salara.
"O my brothers!" Maha Patih Salara said aloud to everyone who was there.
"Today I announce to you all who are here. From today on, we will face various major battles caused by the defeat of our fighters some time ago. But now is not the time to be sad. Now is the time to get up!"
Maha Patih Salara gave a fiery speech. He tried to burn the spirit of the leaders of the troops gathered there.
"Remember! The Kingdom of Bala Bathara is a great kingdom! A tough kingdom! A strong kingdom! Now is the time to prove our strength and resilience to our enemies out there! Don't give up just because we lost!"
All the leaders of the troops who were there were cheering. They raised their swords high. Likewise with the broken in the palace who raised and clenched their hands. They join hands with each other. Cuddle and strengthen each other. Their spirit was completely rebuilt by Maha Patih Salara.
Maha Patih Salara continued to voice resistance to the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela.
"My brothers! Let's be together, we strengthen each other. We avenge our defeat, with a great victory!"
Everyone there was more and more eager to return to fight the forces of the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela. Because after losing in the mines, many small attacks were carried out by Prabu Putra Candrasa and his troops. So many troops died.
At first they all wanted to give up and surrender to the circumstances they would accept. Because Prabu Barajang himself also seems to no longer care for his servants. Prabu Barajang only locked himself in the room and could only babble, without being able to provide a definite solution.
But not with now. Now everyone is excited again, because they get more attention from Maha Patih Salara. But what is done by Maha Patih Salara is nothing more than personal interests. Because he really wants the throne and throne of the Kingdom of Bala Bathara.
He was fed up of constantly being a servant in this palace. Back when Prabu Barajang's father was alive, he could only serve as a Patih. He no longer wants his fate as it used to be. He wanted to develop into someone who was respected and feared by many. After all his sacrifice for this kingdom was already huge.
Maha Patih Salara felt the need to climb to a much higher ladder. He wanted to feel how good it was to be a king. Someone who is loved, admired, and respected by all his people. He did not want to be seen as a subordinate. Because no matter how great a subordinate is, he can never be free.
Forever a subordinate will remain enslaved. Although Maha Patih Salara constantly tried to use Prabu Barajang, but still he could not control Prabu Barajang completely. Now Prabu Barajang is getting bigger and harder to control. Not infrequently he also denied the advice of Maha Patih Salara.
That made Maha Patih Salara very, very disappointed in him. Maha Patih Salara is not afraid if you have to coup the power of Prabu Barajang. Because now his position is much higher than that of a king. The entire army of the Bala Bathara Kingdom had believed in him. Because Maha Patih Salara is a strong figure and does not give up easily.
Very different from Prabu Barajang, who always takes care of whenever there is a problem. All the problems must be considered by Maha Patih Salara. While Prabu Barajang only received clean. He did not want to dirty his own hands. Even until now, no one had ever seen Prabu Barajang fight directly against his enemies.
Prabu Barajang only gave orders after orders to his existing troops. Prabu Barajang also rarely spoke in front of the crowd. Never once did he give gifts, or at least thanks, to his troops who had fought hard to defend the sovereignty of the Bala Bathara Kingdom.
All Prabu Barajang knew was to party, as his troops managed to win the fight. While the troops who fight are left alone without any clarity. The troops even often make their own party without Prabu Barajang knowing. Because if Prabu Barajang finds out, he'll definitely ban it. Or even punish his soldiers who dared to throw a party without his knowledge.
That is what sometimes makes the troops grow furious, and do not like Prabu Barajang. Although Prabu Barajang is a person who is intelligent in committing crimes, but he is not at all experienced in taking the hearts of others. All this time who is more concerned with the royal forces is Maha Patih Salara. Maha Patih Salara always knew what his troops needed.
Before his troops asked, Maha Patih Salara always gave it first. Of course the troops always feel happy and comfortable when there is Maha Patih Salara. They honor Maha Patih Salara wholeheartedly. It was very different when they paid their respects to Prabu Barajang. They seem very forced. Because they really hate Prabu Barajang.
But because they do not have the strength to fight, they prefer to be silent and resigned to the circumstances. It was also then used by Maha Patih Salara to attract the sympathy of all existing troops. And ease his way to the throne of the king he dreamed of.
