THE BLOOD OF JAVA
JAVANESE BLOOD: EPISODE 193
"Hamba came to report to Gusti Patih." Said one of the guards to Maha Patih Barune.
"What's the bodyguard?"
"The troops who were dispatched to the waters, most have returned to the palace, Gusti Patih."
"What do you mean mostly?" Maha Patih Barune was surprised.
His feelings have raged. His concern about the state of the troops deployed to the territorial waters was actually happening now. Most of the troops had indeed returned to the palace, but some had bad luck, because they were killed in an attack carried out by the forces of the battleship Viyagra Malela Kingdom.
Because they were at sea, their bodies could not be taken home. They were already drifting along with the warships they used in that battle. Maha Patih Barunci was silent in a thousand languages after hearing the news of the defeat of his troops. This is the first time this has happened. Though the Panca Warna Kingdom troops are famous for being very tough in the waters.
But this time bad luck befell them all. The warships they once boasted were sunk by the forces of the battleship Viyagra Malela Kingdom, which was in fact much stronger and much more formidable. Most of the admirals were also killed in the incident. And none of them came back.
Maha Patih Barune then ordered the guards to call the Patih involved in the attack to face him. The Patih were confused, because they did not know what to say to Maha Patih Barunci. They were still mourning the death of their friends in battle.
"Not to be afraid. I will not punish you. I just want to know what's going on there." Maha Patih Barune.
"Gusti Patih. So..."
One of the Patih then began to tell everything that happened in the battle of the ship. At first things were fine and they did not find any obstacles while on the way. Even the hundred large-sized battleships were walking very quietly and very carefully.
All the admirals, the Patihs, the army chiefs, and the soldiers, were all preparing for their positions. Because most of them also control the weapons that are in the ship. The weapons on the warship are very diverse. But most of them are giant bow arrows that can emit fiery arrows.
There was also a stone throwing weapon similar to the cannon weapon used by the forces of the Viyagra Malela Kingdom. All of the weapons were controlled by more than two people, for one. It could be imagined, if the number of people there could reach five thousand people, and they were all trained soldiers. Not an ordinary soldier who can only hold a weapon.
They were all soldiers who were already very experienced in the territorial waters. They can forecast the weather, repair damaged ships and weaponry in a fast time, and also many more skills they all have. Including one of them in conducting an ambush to the opponent's ship, without being able to sniff his tracks.
But on that day everything felt very different. The troops of the warship were made confused, because suddenly they were all lost in the territorial waters that they had actually studied very carefully. They did not know that there would be a massive attack from the Royal Navy forces of Wiyagra Malela and also the Kingdom of Batih Reksa.
One Admiral had suspected a movement behind the fog, the loser was indeed quite thick in the waters of the Kingdom of Batih Reksa.
"Gusti Patih, the front row ship troops said that in front of the fog is very thick. Shouldn't we stop first?" Said an Admiral.
"Continue. This mist can be a weapon for all of us. If we stop, we might be killed by the army of warships from the Kingdom of Batih Reksa."
"I'm sorry Gusti Patih. But the servant along with the others felt there was a bad feeling. This fog appeared suddenly and unusually. If we force ourselves, I'm worried....."
"Enough!" Snapped The Patih.
"Just do what I tell you!"
The admiral obviously couldn't do anything. He will get into big trouble if he refutes the orders of the Patih. The vanguard troops were ordered to continue their journey. But this is where all the bad things start. The stupidity of the Patih put everyone in deep trouble.
Because it turns out, the army of the battleship Batih Reksa Kingdom had been waiting for their arrival. The ambush was led by Maha Patih Kumbandha. Maha Patih Kumbandha was given the authority to lead all existing admirals. Including leading aid warships from Prabu Jabang Wiyagra.
And the number of warships led by Maha Patih Kumbandha is far more than the warships owned by the Royal Navy of Panca Warna. Although the size of the battleships owned by the Kingdom of Batih Reksa and the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela is much smaller, but their Navy capabilities are much greater.
"Prepare the cannons!" The Maha Patih Kumbandha.
"Ready!"
All the cannon troops prepared on their own ships.
"Hint!"
All the naval forces were already holding tightly to the hot iron rods, which were used to power the cannons. And as the Royal Navy forces of Panca Warna appeared through the thick fog,
"Foot!"
Blaarr!!!
Blaarr!!!
Blaarr!!!
Blaarr!!!
The sound of cannon bullets that shot rapidly towards the Royal battleship Panca Colour was so thunderous. Even the large bullets coming from those cannon weapons were able to eliminate the entire fog that covered them all that was there. and immediately make the enemy panic instantly because they can no longer run from that place.
And it turns out that they were also blocked from all sides. One hundred of the best Navy ships from the Kingdom of Panca Warna one by one drifted into the sea with its leaders. The strategy used by Maha Patih Kumbandha is really on target and in accordance with the calculations. Because actually the Royal Navy Batih Reksa troops are also equally covered by fog.
They were both unable to see the existence of the Naval Forces of the Panca Warna Kingdom. You with careful calculation and good strategy, as well as intelligence and sharpness of the inner eye possessed by Maha Patih Kumbandha, they can calculate when the enemy will come in their territorial waters.
The attack was very, very profitable for the Royal Naval Forces Batih Reksa. Because of their cannon attacks none of them missed. Even very easily able to destroy the warships belonging to the Royal Navy Panca Warna forces, along with the important people in it.
The Patih and the remaining Admiral tried hard to get out of the ambush. Even the Patih who led the attack to order one of the admirals to hit other ships in order to survive.
"What a crazy plan. Don't let any of them get away with it." Maha Patih Kumbandha's orders to his troops.
"Ready Gusti Patih!"
While the commotion between fellow troops of Panca Warna Kingdom began to occur. They blamed each other for this ambush. Even some of them fight to prove who is right and who is wrong.
"You as a leader are really stupid! You should have died here!" Said an Admiral who blamed the Patih.
"What did you say?! You are stupid! How can we die of fleas like this?!"
The commotion made them split into two camps. The Patih Fortress and also the Admiral's Fort. Until they attack each other. Actually if they want to hold the ego, for a moment, surely they can both survive the ambush. And not many victims fall.
But for Maha Patih Kumbandha, it was a very, very good opportunity. Because that way his battleship army could easily hit them all. In the end, there were a few survivors. And managed to return to the palace of the Kingdom of Panca Warna, with a situation that was already very chaotic.
