THE BLOOD OF JAVA
BLOOD OF JAVA: Episode 86
The situation within the Mangkon Rogo Kingdom turned out to be inversely proportional to the news spread. News spread that the Mangkon Rogo Kingdom already has many troops. But in reality, the number of troops of the Mangkon Rogo Kingdom is decreasing.
Many soldiers were killed during the attack on the area occupied by the forces of the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela. Not only that, it turns out that in the Mangkon Rogo Kingdom there is a plague. The plague was a rat plague. Which makes food supply reduced.
Many troops were given undue rations. For ordinary soldiers, they would be given a ration of food once in one day one night. For soldiers who have high rank, will get food rations twice. And for the important officials will get rations three times.
As for the Patih, they get food rations four times a day overnight. But of course their task is much heavier than usual. Because they get the most food. If Prabu Garan Darang, it is clear he can eat as much.
Many royal servants also began to flee from the palace. They all can not stand the treatment of Prabu Garan Darang who likes to arbitrarily to them. Especially for women. The palace servants who cook even only eat leftover food from Prabu Garan Darang.
That too they must serve Prabu Garan Darang first. If they did not, they would be left to starve and simply die. The atmosphere of the palace which was once beautiful and magnificent, has now turned gloomy and gripping. Due to the crowded atmosphere, it slowly started to quiet down.
There were many people trying to escape from the palace. They all also did not forget to take the valuables that were in the palace, for them to sell. So they can eat somewhere else. And somehow, this rat plague only occurs in the royal palace of Mangkon Rogo.
Elsewhere nothing happened. All the kings who supported Prabu Garan Darang were already there who began to break away. Because of the declining economy, now Prabu Garan Darang no longer has a strong reason to suppress the great kings.
But Prabu Garan Darang still keeps a little of his wealth. He then ordered some of his loyal soldiers and Patihs to create a vast underground chamber. Because he wants to secure himself there.
The soldiers and Patih also directly carry out the orders of their king. I do not know what affects their minds, so they are still loyal to a king who can not give them anything more.
"God! What's this?!" Shouted a soldier digging in the ground.
One of the soldiers saw that there were thousands of rats gathered and made their base in the ground. Everyone who saw it was terrified. They all ran as fast as they could, as thousands of rats started attacking them one by one.
Prabu Garan Darang who saw it immediately attacked the rats with the knowledge he had. In an instant, hundreds of rats died in his hands. But that is not enough, because there are still many rats that come out of the ground.
Prabu Garan Darang was astonished, because the earth rats seemed endless. Even their numbers seem to be getting more and more. Even though the ground that became a hole for the rats to come out is not too big. But hundreds of rats alternately came out of the hole.
The Patih also immediately took Prabu Garan Darang from there. But how surprised they were, because when they were about to enter the palace, it turned out that the conditions inside the palace were much worse. The number of rats that attacked was far more than those in the palace backyard.
"Gusti Prabu's. We gotta get out of here." Said one of Patih.
"Well Gusti Prabu!"
The soldiers rushed to the stables. Again, something beyond reason happened. All the horses are dead. And in the stables there are many rats that are also in the hundreds. Forced, the soldiers did not go in there.
"Gusti Prabu! All the horses are dead!" Say those soldiers.
How else, they should keep going from there. Prabu Garan Darang then took all the remnants of his army away from there. I don't know where he's going, which is clear he just wants to survive first.
From a distance, some soldiers saw that Prabu Garan Darang went from the palace. They all saw it as a good opportunity. The brand immediately took off their clothes and headbands. And at that time the soldiers immediately told their other friends.
All the other palace residents who managed to survive, at that time immediately went to escape, because they were all frightened by the attacks of the rats that had grown. The rats are like demon possessed. They ate whatever was in front of them, which was in the form of meat.
In fact, there were many people who did not survive the attack, including the wives of Prabu Garan Darang. Prabu Garan Darang did not even care about them. All he cares about is his own safety. Some of the troops who had been with him also quietly began to separate themselves.
Their numbers are getting smaller. Until there are only seven Patih people left. The Patih were separated and were not close to Prabu Garan Darang. They are a bit far from the position of Prabu Garan Darang, because Prabu Garan Darang runs very fast. Until they can't keep up.
Prabu Garan Darang himself continuously ran. The longer he got further away from his army. Although he also knew that there were many troops who fled from him, Prabu Garan Darang did not care about it. He no longer wanted to deal with them all. He just wants to survive.
Although Prabu Garan Darang is a powerful person, and able to fight enemies whose strength is as great as his, but that does not mean he does not have fear. When he first saw the thousands of rats that suddenly attacked his kingdom, Prabu Garan Darang was actually already shaking. It was just that his troops were not aware of it.
Now, Prabu Garan Darang is alone in the forest. No one is still with him. I don't know how far he ran. He must have been very far from his own palace. He then went up the hill to see the state of his palace from above. The rest of the energy he had, he forced himself to get to the top.
And that's when he saw it all. By now, his palace is on fire. The fire licked all over the place in the palace.
"This must have been Prabu Jabang Wiyagra and his army!" The grunt in the heart.
Prabu Garan Darang had thought that all this would happen. Because some time ago, he had received news from one of his soldiers, that the forces of the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela would attack the Kingdom of Mangkon Rogo in other ways. To defeat Prabu Garan Darang.
But somehow, the hunch Prabu Garan Darang actually refers to Prabu Bambang Pura. Because he knew, Prabu Bambang Pura learned a lot about black magic. Even Prabu Garan Darang had seen for himself how Prabu Bambang Pura turned the grass into a collection of pigeons.
