THE BLOOD OF JAVA
BLOOD OF THE LAND OF JAVA: EPISODE 204
The spy is still trying to dig more information about the plans of Maha Patih Rangkat Sena and Prabu Gala Ganda. The spy knew that Prabu Gala Ganda and Maha Patih Rangkat Sena were planning something big to avenge their defeat.
The only information he could get right now was the Letter of Peace Agreement. The letter addressed to Prabu Jabang Wiyagra was just an alibi to make the Kingdom of the Son of Bathara safe from attack. So they have plenty of time to prepare for other things.
Prabu Gala Ganda could not take his defeat for granted. He intends to take revenge for the deaths of his Patihs who were defeated by Prabu Putra Candrasa. Prabu Gala Ganda wants the destruction of Malela's Son Kingdom. So that he may occupy all his power.
The kingdom of Malela's golden son makes anyone who hears and sees it must be interested in ruling there. The vast gold mining area made the Kingdom of Putra Malela and the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela even richer.
The economic income of the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela and the kingdoms under its control, increased rapidly. Even more than what Prabu Jabang Wiyagra had imagined so far. Because now there are no more people who live poor under the rule of Prabu Jabang Wiyagra.
Gold mining which was originally only a simple place, is now filled with a variety of heavy equipment made by reliable weapons makers, graduates of Padepokan Ageng Reksa Pati. The Youths and Girls are constantly innovating for the betterment of their country.
Even outside countries are interested and eager to learn the methods of gold mining used by Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. But Prabu Jabang Wiyagra has not been open to what he did in the gold mine. Because Prabu Jabang Wiyagra does not want the intelligence of young people in his country stolen.
Prabu Jabang Wiyagra always warned palace officials not to sell raw materials to neighboring countries. Prabu Jabang Wiyagra wants the gold to be sold in a state that has become an item. Like a necklace, bracelet, or ring. In order for the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela to continue producing luxury goods.
If they teach the methods they use, then the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela can no longer produce luxury goods, with the gold that has been obtained. Because if other countries came to know the methods used by the miners, then the Wiyagra Malela Kingdom would have a heavy competitor.
"I don't want raw produce to be shipped to other countries. They will use it to make something, which will then be resold to us. And once they're gonna get a much bigger profit."
"....I will not hesitate to punish anyone who dares to oppose this rule. Remember that! The future of our children is in our hands now. If we do not secure everything in our homeland, the old papers of the land of Java will be eroded by the times."
"Both Gusti Prabu, the servant and Maha Patih Galangan will always keep a close eye on the trading areas. Especially with outsiders who tried to come to the land of Java, to trade. And all the gold mines in the kingdom of the Son of Malela have been tightened with guard."
"Yes. Continue the task of all of you. I'm sure, sooner or later, Prabu Gala Ganda and his allies will definitely attack this place. They will definitely demand revenge for their defeat. My spies smell the interference of strangers who helped Prabu Gala Ganda."
While in other places, precisely the Kingdom of Bala Bathara, Utari Gita and Bamantara, also continue to dig as much information as possible about Prabu Barajang and Maha Patih Salara. Of all the attacks they got in the Mbah Kangkas area, Bamantara and others got a fact, that Maha Patih Salara was never seen again.
Though previously there were many reports that Maha Patih Salara had taken Prabu Barajang. But after a long time, there has been no news of Maha Patih Salara and his supporters since their defeat in the Kingdom of the Son of Malela. Arsanti and Pramusita suspected that Maha Patih Salara could have been killed by Prabu Barajang himself.
Because after suffering a defeat in the Kingdom of the Son of Malela, Maha Patih Salara reportedly suffered injuries due to face with the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Son of Malela, Malela, most of them are graduates from Padepokan Ageng Reksa Pati. And since his return to the palace, Maha Patih Salara was never heard from again.
"Now Prabu Barajang has really tightened guard throughout his territory. He doesn't let anyone in, and anyone out. Prabu Barajang has locked up everyone in his territory, so Arsanti and I have trouble getting in there." Said Pramusita to Mbah Kangkas.
That afternoon they gathered at the Padepokan Mbah Kangkas. Arsanti, Pramusita, Utari Gita, Bamantara, and Mbah Kangkas themselves, are looking for ways to enter the kingdom of Bala Bathara. Especially to free the spies of those trapped there, because no one can get out of the territory of the Bala Bathara Kingdom.
"If it is so, it is certain, Prabu Barajang has removed Maha Patih Salara from his kingdom, because it has become his competitor. I think it'll be a good opportunity for us to move." Mbah Kangkas.
"What are our plans then?" Tanya Utari Gita's.
"I will ask Gusti Prabu Jabang Wiyagra for help. So that he would send help to this place. In any case, we still need a lot of energy to make an attack. I'm worried that Prabu Barajang will have a much stronger ally than before."
"Is it possible that the enemies of Prabu Jabang Wiyagra from Mbah's past? There are still many enemies of Prabu Jabang Wiyagra who are not dead." Ask Bamantara.
"Yes. That's what I'm worried about Bamantara. If until Prabu Barajang allies with Gusti Prabu Jabang Wiyagra's surviving enemies, then we are all really in danger. Because they're not all random people. They could finish off a lot of people with just a few attacks."
".....Perhaps, they will still lose at the hands of Gusti Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. But still, if they join Prabu Barajang, then there will be many casualties. And it does not rule out the possibility that many warriors and knights from the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela will die." Mbah Kangkas said as he looked at them all with sadness.
Arsanti and others already understand what Mbah Kangkas means. There are many knights and warriors in the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela. Including the four of them. If there is a massive war, which is much larger than before, it does not rule out the possibility that the four of them will also be victims.
