THE BLOOD OF JAVA
JAVANESE BLOOD: EPISODE 287
"Hamba permission to report Gusti Prabu." Said a member of the Bara Jaya Army to Prabu Jabang Wiyagra.
"Please guard."
"Some of the soldiers who were sent to the battlefield, now in the courtyard of Gusti Prabu palace. They brought some clothes, which seemed to belong to the troops of Commander Dara Gending. Not only is it Gusti Prabu. They also found a tiger skin bracelet used by Commander Galang Tantra."
"What?! Get them in! Now!" Prabu Jabang Wiyagra's orders to his bodyguard.
"Gusty's Seed."
Prabu Jabang Wiyagra seemed to get a very powerful lightning strike, after he heard that there was a tiger skin bracelet often used by Commander Galang Tantra, which was found by the soldiers on the battlefield. Prabu Jabang Wiyagra felt very distrustful of it. Because for decades no one can take off the bracelet used by Commander Galang Tantra. The devotion of Commander Galang Tantra has never been matched by anyone. Except Ratna Malangi. Ratna Malangi has nothing left.
"I really don't believe that Mbah Kangkas. That's a very impossible thing to happen. For decades, not a single person could release the bracelet that belonged to Commander Galang Tantra. Unless Commander Galang Tantra himself releases it." Prabu Jabang Wiyagra to Mbah Kangkas.
"Pacify Gusti Prabu first. I will try to look through the bracelet, to make sure that the bracelet really belongs to Commander Galang Tantra."
"Yes Mbah."
Four soldiers face Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. And they told me everything that had happened on the battlefield. And presented the evidence they had brought to Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. The four soldiers said they found the bracelet used by Commander Galang Tantra in a cave, while they were securing the territory they had conquered. And the discovery also left the soldiers shocked. They also still could not believe what they were getting in that place.
Coupled with some clothes that have been torn, belonging to the forces of Commander Dara Gending. Judging from the tear marks on the clothes, Prabu Jabang Wiyagra will be familiar with every incision. Prabu Jabang Wiyagra was surprised. Because the tear in the clothes belonging to the army Commander Dara Gending is not whether the incision of a sword or other sharp objects. But a claw of a wild beast, which is nothing but a claw of a tiger's nail. Among those people, only the Commander of Galang Tantra could change his form into a tiger.
But Prabu Jabang Wiyagra still did not believe what he saw in front of him. Prabu Jabang Wiyagra gave the torn clothes to Mbah Kangkas.
"Look Mbah. Look what happened to them."
Mbah Kropas then closed his eyes while holding the clothes that had been torn. Mbah Kangkas did get a picture. Unfortunately, Mbah Kangkas could not see clearly what happened to the forces of Commander Dara Gending. But Mbah Kangkas concluded, if the forces of Commander Dara Gending had obtained an attack. But according to Mbah Kangkas, the attack was not from the Commander of Galang Tantra. Because Mbah Kangkas did not feel the aura of the existence of Commander Galang Tantra.
"I'm sure Gusti Prabu, Commander Galang Tantra could not have done this cruel thing to his own sister."
"Yes. I believe in you, Mbah. But try to come back with this bracelet." Prabu Jabang Wiyagra said while handing over the bracelet that allegedly belonged to Commander Galang Tantra to Mbah Kangkas.
Mbah Kangkas directly holds the bracelet. To see if it really belongs to Commander Galang Tantra or not. Here only then Mbah Kangkas get a fairly clear picture of the situation of Commander Galang Tantra and Commander Dara Gending. But Mbah Kangkas did not say it right then and there. Mbah Kangkas only smiled at Prabu Jabang Wiyagra, after he knew what the answer to all these problems was. Prabu Jabang Wiyagra who knew that Mbah Kangkas had obtained something, immediately ordered the four soldiers to return to their unity.
The soldiers did not know what Mbah Kangkas said to Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. The soldiers only had time to see, if Mbah Kangkas whispered something to Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. But seeing the facial expression of Mbah Kangkas, the soldiers were very sure that there was good news. The soldiers returned with their horses to the battlefield. Because their job is only to deliver these items to Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. The rest of them no longer want to interfere. Because that is not their main task.
The task of the soldiers was simply to fight on the battlefield. As for the matter of the important people in the Viyagra Malela Kingdom, they clearly did not dare to ask about it. Even if they have the courage to ask, of course Prabu Jabang Wiyagra we will give any answer to them. The soldiers quickly left the palace of the Wiyagra Malela Kingdom to return to their duties. While Mbah Kangkas and Prabu Jabang Wiyagra moved the room, because they will both discuss an important issue, which should not be heard by anyone who is there.
I don't know what the two of them are talking about, no one knows. Even Prabu Jabang Wiyagra ordered the soldiers who stood guard in front of his private room, to leave from there. Prabu Jabang Wiyagra and Mbah Kangkas completely closed the meeting, what has happened with Commander Galang Tantra and Commander Dara Gending. The servants and soldiers who were there were also confused by the behavior of Prabu Jabang Wiyagra and Mbah Kangkas. They prayed like they were discussing a very important matter, but in a very soft tone of voice. No one could hear what they both said.

Rumors spread quickly among the soldiers. But instead of being afraid of it, the soldiers were increasingly curious. Because until now, Prabu Jabang Wiyagra did not give any orders to conduct a search to Commander Dara Gending and Commander Galang Tantra. Feeling that Commander Dara Gending and Commander Galang Tantra are in danger, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela increasingly aggressively attack every area that has been determined by their leaders. Because they assume that Commander Galang Tantra and Commander Dara Gending have been hurt by their enemies.
The soldiers are increasingly encouraged to carry out large-scale attacks. Thousands of troops of the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela are constantly moving. It was as if they were never willing to stop slaughtering their enemies. Because of this, every day there are dead bodies. Every day someone dies. And most of them are from the enemy side of the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela. The soldiers did not want if something unpleasant happened to Commander Galang Tantra and Commander Dara Gending. For they are both very meritorious men to the King.
The soldiers felt the need to take a firm action against their enemies. Likewise with the Patih Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela who became violent after they knew that there was a discovery of a bracelet that was predicted to belong to the Commander of Galang Tantra. They ordered all the troops they had to go through every remote area. Including wilderness that is rarely touched by humans. They just want to make sure, Commander Galang Tantra is fine.
