THE BLOOD OF JAVA
BLOOD OF JAVA: Episode 5
Troops from the Reksa Pati Kingdom led by Gabah Lanang began to depart for the territory of Batih Reksa Kingdom. Gabah Lanang wants to start a war from the small kings who still support the Kingdom of Batih Reksa.
He wanted to pin them down first, in order to reduce the strength of the enemy. He left along with the two hundred best troops he had. One hundred sword bearers, fifty who used spears, and the rest were an army of archers.
They departed on orders from Prabu Ditya Kalana. While Prabu Ditya Kalana himself will use another path along with Maha Patih Kinjiri leading their main army. Prabu Ditya Kalana wants the enemy's power to be divided so that they are easier to defeat.
The forces of the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela will follow when the war has completely broken out. To surprise the troops of the Kingdom of Batih Reksa. The forces of the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela were led by Patih Rekta and Patih kepila. The total number of troops they had was five thousand troops.
The troops led by Patih Rekta and Patih Kepila were the ones that had just been formed. They contain young men who are still gallant and have never been plunged into battle. All of that was deliberately done to launch all the plans that they had compiled together.
In addition to the process of leading to the great war, Patih Semaya and Patih Panamaya began to make their weapons. The weapons were a large arrow thrower, a giant catapult and also some old weaponry that they later developed.
The Kingdom of Reksa Pati did not know this at all because the manufacture of the weapon was carried out in secret. And only selected soldiers participated in the manufacture of giant-sized weapons. Even until now, Prabu Ditya Kalana has not sniffed it.
He did not even put a spy in the Viyagra Malela Kingdom, because he and his uncle underestimated the Viyagra Malela Kingdom which they considered to be far below their strength. In fact, Prabu Jabang Wiyagra has many secrets that he keeps in his kingdom without being known by any kingdom.
Prabu Jabang Wiyagra is able to play the mind of Prabu Ditya Kalan and Gabah Lanang to make them believe that the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela is really happy with the Kingdom of Reksa Pati. The only person who had any suspicions in the Reksa Pati Kingdom was simply Maha Patih Kinjiri.
He is still not convinced that the offer given by Prabu Ditya Kalana is able to make a Prabu Jabang Wiyarga knee in front of him. On that leisurely journey, Maha Patih Kinjiri tried to remind Prabu Ditya Kalana of his suspicions.
But Prabu Ditya Kalana is too proud of the strength of his kingdom which is now advanced.
“Gusti Prabu, does Gusti not suspect Prabu Jabang Wiyagra?” Tanya Maha Patih Kinjiri to Prabu Ditya Kalana.
“What should I suspect Maha Patih?”
“Prabu Jabang Wiyagra sent Patih Kepila and Patih Rekta who brought five thousand troops containing inexperienced youth. Isn't that suspicious Gusti Prabu?”
“That is not something Maha Patih should suspect. The kingdom of Wiyagra Malela was a small kingdom. The number of their troops in the kingdom is not much. That is why Prabu Jabang Wiyagra recruited young men from various villages to join his royal army. That's a natural thing.”
“The young soldiers were inexperienced indeed. But the one who trained them was a very experienced person. In the hands of Supreme Patih Son of Candrasa, they become great people who will strengthen our strength. And under the leadership of Patih Rekta and Patih Kepila, they become people who do not give up easily. That's what will make our enemies afraid.”
Maha Patih Kinjiri just fell silent listening to the answer from Prabu Ditya Kalana. Actually he wants to continue to issue all his thoughts to Prabu Ditya Kalana, but the results will be useless, because Prabu Ditya Kalana must have another argument to refute all his complaints that are considered useless.
All he can do now is to carry out his responsibilities as a Maha Patih. There is nothing he can do but follow and obey the rules of Prabu Ditya Kalana. Prabu Ditya Kalana is clearly still under the influence of the more trusted thought of Gabah Lanang.
He was just a warrior in charge of leading the forces of the Reksa Pati Kingdom and guarding Prabu Ditya Kalana to stay fine. While all decisions are entirely in the hands of Prabu Ditya Kalana who is a king. Prabu Ditya Kalana is no longer manageable as before. Now he is big and much stronger.
The cruel education and thought had been handed down by his uncle, Gabah Lanang. Grain Lanang very rarely descended directly into battle. But his war strategy rarely fails if implemented. Gabah Lanang also has a devotion that cannot be underestimated. Gabah Lanang is also an expert in sending teluh. Gabah Lanang used to be known as the king of black magic.
He had faced death many times, but always managed to survive. He also always managed to escape from the pursuit of his enemy that almost every day there were those who came to try to kill him.
Gabah Lanang is also famous for having no mercy to anyone.
He even slaughtered some villagers who had now entered the territory of the Wiyagra Malela Kingdom. That's an old story. It happened before the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela stood as it is now. But Prabu Jabang Wiyagra still remembers the event.
He approved this plan as well to avenge the lives of innocent villagers. He wanted to see the legendary Gabah Lanang die in the war. He wanted to see the destruction of that newly awakened Mutual Pati Kingdom. He did not want if the kingdom led by a very cruel and ruthless leader could stand in the land of Java.
“From the news I heard, they have all departed to their respective positions Gusti Prabu.” Maha Patih Putra Candrasa.
“Good. I don't want this plan to fail. I want Gabah Lanang to die in that battle. With the death of Gabah Lanang, then the Reksa Pati Kingdom will weaken. At once, Ditya Kalana will also weaken her strength, because she will definitely feel very sad to lose her only family member whom she cares so much for.”
“True Gusti Prabu. I have sent people to enter the territory of small kingdoms that will be the target of Gabah Lanang and his troops.”
“Continue Watching Maha Patih.”
“Siap Gusti Prabu.”
