THE BLOOD OF JAVA
BLOOD OF JAVA: Episode 85
Prabu Jabang Wiyagra is proud of the performance of Patih Kinjiri and Utari Gita. Not felt, they had not returned to the palace for six months. They only gave letter after letter to give the news of the situation in the Mangkon Rogo Kingdom.
Occasionally troops from the Mangkon Rogo Kingdom carried out small attacks on the troops of Patih Kinjiri. They were all still insisting on regaining their territory held by the forces of the Viyagra Malela Kingdom.
But the little attacks they do almost every day, still do not produce results. It is precisely many troops of Mangkon Rogo Kingdom who died in vain while trying to break through the fortress.
The giant fortress that surrounds dozens of villages in this place, making the troops of Mangkon Rogo Kingdom difficult. The movement of their troops was also further narrowed by the forces led by Maha Patih Jogo Rogo.
Maha Patih Jogo Rogo agrees to cooperate with the forces of the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela. But he chose to stay in his hiding place. He didn't want to come out before the big war actually happened.
With the help of troops from Maha Patih Jogo Rogo, in carrying out the battle strategy.
"Gusti Patih, should we not do the expansion of the territory? The number of our troops is more than enough to conquer other territories." Singo Rogo told Patih Kinjiri.
"Hold down. I want to buy as much time as possible. Because I'm still curious about the power of our enemy. Indeed, there are many Prabu Garan Darang troops who died, but that does not guarantee that our troops in this place will be safe." Answer Patih Kinjiri.
"What is Gusti Patih's next plan? Prabu Garan Darang's army has been increasing in number." Bamantara.
"Just Gusti Patih. They got a lot of help from the great kings, in secret. Looks like, soon they'll be pounding this place." Added Joko Gondol.
"That's what I want. And that is also what Prabu Jabang Wiyagra wants. Prabu Jabang Wiyagra wants all the kingdoms that support the Prabu Garan Darang movement to come to the surface."
"....So that later, we have one clear reason to fight. Because there are still many kingdoms that do not believe in the testimony of the villagers, if they are oppressed by their own king."
".....I really want to hit them all. But if we hit everything, then we will sacrifice the great name of the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela."
"....There will be many kingdoms that accuse the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela of invading for no good reason. Moreover, the testimony of the villagers is still not enough to corroborate our argument." Answer Patih Kinjiri.
Everyone there understood what Patih Kinjiri meant. Patih Kinjiri only carries out orders from Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. He doesn't want to play the old way. Because of the old ways used by Patih Kinjiri first, made the Mutual Pati Kingdom destroyed.
Although not entirely the fault of Patih Kinjiri, but Patih Kinjiri did not want to repeat the same mistake for the second time. He is not blinded by power. He has also sworn allegiance to Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. And will not betray his vows until at any time.
"Gusti Patih."
The seven warriors returned to their positions. They all returned to strict guard in every inch of this territory. There have been many villages that are now developing under the leadership of Patih Kinjiri. And the forces of the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela in this place are increasing every day.
There are even many families from other villages who come to this place. They all fled to this place, because they could not stand the oppression carried out by Prabu Garan Darang. Reportedly more and more days Prabu Garan Darang increasingly craze.
And now the situation in Mangkon Rogo Kingdom is very hot. Many palace officials began to be massacred because they defected to the orders of Prabu Garan Darang. So now, Prabu Garan Darang again has loyal people who are ready to die for him.
It's just that Maha Patih's position in the Mangkon Rogo Kingdom is still empty. Because there is no one who is suitable to get the position. None of the courtiers dared to take the position of being a Maha Patih.
Because anyone who wants to be Maha Patih, then they must face Maha Patih Jogo Rogo, who once held the position. And for those who want to hold the position, must bring the head of Maha Patih Jogo Rogo as proof to Prabu Garan Darang.
Obviously no one wants to. Because they could not be able to if they had to face Maha Patih Jogo Rogo who is famous for the mandraguna. Even though he almost lost to Prabu Garan Darang, but that does not mean he is a weak person.
While running from the palace with his subordinates, Maha Patih Jogo Rogo actually wanted to kill Prabu Garan Darang. And he certainly is capable of doing that. It's just that he prioritizes the safety of those who are his followers.
Prabu Garan Darang also continuously deployed his troops to destabilize the territory now controlled by Maha Patih Jogo Rogo. He is very unwilling if there is only one territory controlled by Maha Patih Jogo Rogo.
He was truly embittered by the betrayal that Maha Patih Jogo Rogo committed to him. But until now, he was completely unwilling to admit his mistake. He was the one who started all this mess.
If only he had not indulged his lust, his fate would have been much better than it is now. If only he had not been helped by Prabu Bambang Pura, it was certain that his army would have lost easily. Because the number of Prabu Garan Darang troops is not as large as the army of the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela.
In the event of a major war, the Mangkon Rogo Kingdom could be instantly crushed to ashes. And Prabu Garan Darang can be directly baked in his own palace. But that is not the main purpose of Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. Its main purpose is to protect the oppressed.
Most of the people of Mangkon Rogo Kingdom also have the same goal.they just want Prabu Garan Darang to abdicate. And can be replaced by better people. Because the problem is that Prabu Garan Darang is not the Mangkon Rogo Kingdom.
Even if the one who holds is not a powerful mandraguna, the people will still be happy, as long as their king can be just and wise. To bring about peace and prosperity without a caste perspective.
All the people of Mangkon Rogo Kingdom always hope and even pray every night to the Almighty to grant their hopes. Only, their prayers have not been answered. Because until now, they still have to fight with Prabu Garan Darang.
