THE BLOOD OF JAVA
BLOOD OF THE LAND OF JAVA: EPISODE 207
The next day after the arrival of Mbah Kangkas in the palace of the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela, Prabu Jabang Wiyagra immediately informed the Commander of Galang Tantra. Commander Galang Tantra then assigned Arya Panunggul to bring five thousand soldiers of the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela. While carrying his weapons.
In accordance with the agreement, Mbah Kangkas will use his magic to move all the heavy weaponry that he will use, from the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela to his padepokan. Arya Panunggul and his troops will wait in the city of Taram Sari. Because it is a suitable place at once safe to conduct meetings.
Taram Sari is a large city led by a female warrior, named Dara Gending. Dara Gending himself used to be someone who also fought with Prabu Jabang Wiyagra, before becoming a king. After becoming a king, Prabu Jabang Wiyagra appointed Dara Gending to be a leader in Taram Sari.
Taram Sari City is famous for 'Kota Kaprajuritan'. Because a lot of female warriors were born in the city of Taram Sari. There are many more major cities under the control of Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. And most of the major cities were led by Prabu Jabang Wiyagra's men, while Prabu Jabang Wiyagra was still a warrior.
Taram Sari was created by Prabu Jabang Wiyagra at the beginning of his reign. Prabu Jabang Wiyagra deliberately made the city of Taram Sari into a nest of female warriors, because during the new government, Prabu Jabang Wiyagra still experienced many problems in his kingdom. One of them is a moral crisis that drops women's self-esteem.
With Dara Gending, Prabu Jabang Wiyagra made Taram Sari City and raised Dara Gending to become a leader. People call him Commander Dara Gending. Actually the name of Commander Dara Gending is no longer foreign to the ears of the people of the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela. It's just that his name wasn't known until it came out. Because Prabu Jabang Wiyagra always hid it.
The intention of Prabu Jabang Wiyagra to hide all his men who have now been appointed as Commander is, so as not to someday, if Prabu Jabang Wiyagra is really faced with a big problem that no longer has a way out, then Prabu Jabang Wiyagra will remove the tigers from their nests. Which means, the problem Prabu Jabang Wiyagra is facing now is not a really complicated problem.
Prabu Jabang Wiyagra can still find a way out of the problem. Prabu Jabang Wiyagra believes, if someday there will be a big war involving all the kingdoms in the Land of Java, as before. Because many people in the past are still alive today. And they will always spread evil wherever they are.
There were ten Prabu Jabang Wiyagra's men who were appointed as Commander-in-Chief, to lead the big cities.
Cakra Murti: Leading the City of Jaya Mandala.
Surya Karana: Leading the City of Matara Pura
Bayu Kusuma: Leading the City of Maja Lingga
Dapa Samudra: Leading Singo City Earth
Gatot Malasa: Leading the City of Pajaram
Rama Kumara: Leading the City of Wara Bumi
Wira Raharja : Leading the City of Mada Kamulyan.
Lara Kencana: Leading the City of Paja Ratna.
Dala Bima: Leading Singo Negoro City.
Dara Gending: Leading the City of Taram Sari.
Initially Prabu Jabang Wiyagra did not want to, because it would not have the heart to see a woman die on the battlefield. But because Queen Ayu Anindya kept pressing at all times, Prabu Jabang Wiyagra finally collapsed, and granted the request of Queen Ayu Anindya. Two of the best women became warriors.
Lara Kencana and Dara Gending are two of the most influential warriors in Prabu Jabang Wiyagra's struggle to establish the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela. But these two extraordinary women, and the other Commander-in-Chief, were deliberately never directly involved by Prabu Jabang Wiyagra after the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela flourished.
Prabu Jabang Wiyagra exerted his great powers to solve problems that he could overcome on his own. One day, the ten men, as well as his disciples, will be shown to his enemies, at the right time. Although actually the ten Commanders always demanded to Prabu Jabang Wiyagra to be able to take part in the war that is happening now.
They all want to be involved like Prabu Putra Candrasa, who previously served as Maha Patih. But as mentioned earlier, Prabu Jabang Wiyagra will only assign them directly when in a situation that is already really complicated, difficult, and the situation can not be conditioned. Because these ten Commanders are like the pillars of the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela.
Even during the attack in the Kingdom of the Son of Malela, they were not given permission by Prabu Jabang Wiyagra to go down directly. They are only allowed to send the assistance of troops and also the warriors in their respective territories. Prabu Jabang Wiyagra really takes good care of everyone who is under his leadership.
Prabu Jabang Wiyagra did not want to show ferocious fangs like other kingdoms that like to show off their power to the public. Prabu Jabang Wiyagra learned from all the kingdoms he had conquered. That showing the ultimate power to the enemy is a big mistake. It does not make the enemy afraid at all, it will make the enemy more eager to make an attack.
That is why Prabu Jabang Wiyagra is more concerned with the development of the forces in his region, rather than the force of attack on enemy territory. Prabu Jabang Wiyagra was unwilling to act too aggressively. The purpose of establishing the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela was, to create unity and unity between the Javanese, who were known to be very fond of fighting with their own brothers.
Well, Prabu Jabang Wiyagra wants to break the arguments of people from outside the archipelago, which makes the land of Java as if it sounds trivial.

Return to Arya Panunggul. Arya Panunggul is now preparing five thousand troops to leave for the city of Taram Sari. There Mbah Kangkas had been waiting for him for a long time, accompanied by Commander Dara Gending and his guards. Just this time Commander Dara Gending really showed himself in public.
Commander of the beautiful Dara Gending has always been the lips of people in the city of Taram Sari. Everyone is always curious about the beautiful face of Commander Dara Gending who until now has never married anyone. Commander Dara Gending awaits the arrival of Arya Panunggul and his troops in the forest area in Taram Sari, which is often used as a training ground for the army.
"I haven't been to this place in a long time. This place used to be a wilderness, but now everything has changed. This place was beautified by Gusti Ratu Ayu Anindya. What a wonderful place for army training." Said Commander Dara Gending to Mbah Kangkas.
"So, Queen Ayu Anindya took part in the construction of this place?" Ask Mbah Kangkas.
"True Mbah Kasang. Queen Ayu Anindya had a great influence on Gusti Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. She is the pioneer of women fighters. I still remember well until now, if Queen Ayu Anindya had threatened to leave Gusti Prabu Jabang Wiyagra, if Gusti Prabu Jabang Wiyagra did not want to involve women in his struggle." Replied Commander Dara Gending while laughing sweetly.
Her sweet smile, her pure white skin, her beautiful eyes, make anyone feel very comfortable when they are around her. However, behind the beautiful face, stored cruelty that not everyone knows. Commander Dara Gending has killed hundreds of people, during his service to Prabu Jabang Wiyagra.
Commander Dara Gending is indeed very good to everyone. But in certain moments, Commander Dara Gending will turn into a very cruel and heartless figure, when he is faced with the traitors of Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. He did not hesitate to torture the enemies of Prabu Jabang Wiyagra with his own two hands. And that atrocity still prevails today.
