THE BLOOD OF JAVA
JAVANESE BLOOD: EPISODE 323
Suddenly came the members of the rebel group who directly attacked the residence of Queen Mekar Senggani. They were very numerous, and they carried weapons of arrows and swords. Some of them also rode horses, possibly their leaders, who participated in the attack. Upon learning that there was an attack in his place, Queen Mekar Senggani immediately ordered his troops to withdraw them into the farm. Because unbeknownst to everyone, Queen Mekar Senggani apparently arranged the farm to be his temporary place of defense, before his palace stood.
The farmland in the bed is specially designed by Mbah Kangkas. Which Mbah Kangkas himself knows, if sooner or later, Patri Asih will definitely attack this region. Therefore, there needs to be an effort of anticipation, to deal with the situation. And in fact, what Mbah Kangkas predicted really happened. The rebel groups were already in front of his eyes. Everyone was trying to put up a fight, as hard as they could. Likewise with Queen Mekar Senggani, who directly attacked the rebels with all his abilities.
Queen Mekar Senggani could of course very easily remove them from their place. Moreover, these rebel groups are mostly former soldiers of the Kingdom of Panca Warna, who are now defected, and follow former officials who want to rule. The rebels initially look gallant and brave, when facing the forces of Queen Mekar Senggani. But when they come face to face with Queen Mekar Senggani, they start to panic. Queen Mekar Senggani used it to attack them all. And these rebels could easily be defeated.
Especially when the troops of the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela came to this place, the rebels were immediately surrounded. There was no way for them to escape from this place. Despite their numbers in the hundreds, they were still outnumbered by the forces of the Viyagra Malela Kingdom. Especially when they saw the troops from the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela carrying Jetbang. These rebels are becoming more and more frantic and unruly. Even the horses ridden by these rebels had also been killed at that very instant. They really had no chance to save themselves. They could only resign, as the soldiers dragged them all along.
"Who ordered you to attack?" Ask Queen Mekar Senggani to them.
But none of them answered. Then one of the soldiers kicked one of them.
"Java!" Snatch that soldier.
But still no one wants to provide any information for Queen Mekar Senggani. They're all mute. Until finally, Commander Lara Kencana intervened to deal with all of them, so that they would give information to Queen Mekar Senggani. This is where Queen Mekar Senggani finally knows how cruelty Commander Lara Kencana. Because when Commander Lara Kencana asked one of them, and the man did not answer, Commander Lara Kencana immediately poked the man's eyes with both fingers. That made that person groan in pain, and die there right then and there.
"Does anyone else want to be this lucky?" Ask Commander Lara Kencana.
"...I hope you guys don't do anything stupid. So that you don't die in a stupid way." Added.
Then one of them raised his right hand. The man looked so frightened, after seeing one of his friends die. The person in front immediately looked back, towards the person, with a face full of anger. It was as if he did not accept what one of his friends was doing. But the man who raised his hand, like he didn't care. He just wants to survive. No matter what the fate of his other friends. He also has a family that he has to live with. That person did not want to sacrifice his life just for a throne and a treasure. He didn't want to die, and just wanted to go back to his family.
"What can you give us?" Ask Commander Lara Kencana.
"Please forgive me. I'll give you anything you need. I'll tell you everything. But please don't kill me." Said the man.
"What ordered us to attack was a woman named Patri Asih. He paid for us and also armed us. He also promised the throne of the Kingdom of Panca Warna to our leader."
"Who is your leader?" Ask Queen Mekar Senggani.
"He is Patih Ranja Arang. He wants to take over the throne of the Kingdom of Panca Warna."
"Patih Lanja Charcoal?!"
"True Gusti Queen. It was Patih Lanja Arang who had been leading all these rebellions."
"Who is Patih Ranja Charcoal? Gusti Queen?" Ask Commander Lara Kencana.
Queen Mekar Senggani then explained who Patih Lanja Arang was. Patih Lanja Arang is the best protege of the late Maha Patih Barunci. He used to follow wherever Maha Patih Barunci went. Even Patih Lanja Arang also has a high dedication to the Kingdom of Panca Warna. For many years he devoted himself to Queen Mekar Senggani. Even a lot of people who put their trust in Patih Lanja Arang. Because he is also a confidant of Maha Patih Barunci, who is famous sakti mandraguna. But behind it all, Patih Lanja Arang turned out to secretly also want the position of Maha Patih. For seeing Maha Patih Barune who is so loved by Queen Mekar Senggani.
Patih Lanja Arang envies her own teacher educator. Because every time Maha Patih Barunci gets in trouble, surely Queen Mekar Senggani will always try to find a way out. But if the one who got the problem was Patih Lanja Arang, Queen Mekar Senggani would definitely consider him a fool. Whenever exposed to problems, Maha Patih Barune who will help Patih Lanja Charcoal to get out of his problem. Especially to defend Queen Mekar Senggani. Because it is certain that the speech of Maha Patih Barunci will be more trusted, than the words issued by Patih Lanja Arang. That is what causes spite in the heart of a Patih Lanja Arang who is known to be loyal.
There is no one who doubts the loyalty of Patih Lanja Arang to Queen Mekar Senggani. Every time you get an order from Queen Mekar Senggani, Patih Lanja Arang will immediately run it. But never once did Patih Lanja Arang get rations from Queen Mekar Senggani, as obtained by Maha Patih Barunci. Ratu Mekar Senggani himself knows, that Patih Lanja Arang likes to peek at activities carried out by Queen Mekar Senggani with Maha Patih Barune in his room. But Queen Mekar Senggani did not care about it at all. He actually did something that seemed tempting and mocked Patih Lanja Arang. That makes Patih Lanja Arang very angry.
Patih Lanja Arang vowed to get rid of Maha Patih Barunci one day. Until then Patih Lanja Arang saw there was an opportunity. At that time, Patih Ranja Arang let Maha Patih Barunci be captured by the forces of the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela. Even when he knew that Maha Patih Barunci would be punished by beheading, Patih Lanja Arang did not make any effort to save Maha Patih Barunci. He was even very happy to hear the news. Because then, he no longer had a competitor. And he can realize his dream in order to occupy the throne of a king.
Queen Mekar Senggani can know everything that happened, because she was visited by the spirit of Maha Patih Barunci. And Maha Patih Barunci told the Queen Mekar Senggani everything, what really happened to her. Queen Mekar Senggani did not expect, if Patih Ranja Arang could do that. Maha Patih Barunci loved Patih Lanja Arang like her own sister. But everything has happened. There is nothing that Queen Mekar Senggani can do. He could only accept that. Without being able to reciprocate the behavior of Patih Ranja Arang. Because at that time, Queen Mekar Senggani was in prison.
