THE BLOOD OF JAVA
BLOOD OF JAVA: Episode 99
The return of Maha Patih Kana Raga as well as the kings of his supporters, was met with the melancholy of all those in their respective kingdoms. Everyone, both ordinary citizens and wealthy people, all just looked down in lethargy as their king came home with only a small army.
Maha Patih Kana Raga also felt very ashamed of the palace family, because he had failed to win the battle. Though he had promised, that he would destroy the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela, and gave the head of Prabu Jabang Wiyagra to the family of Prabu Bambang Pura.
But all his promises are tranquilizers, not cures. Because in reality he was not able to conquer half of the territory of the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela. Even the troops he had were not able to penetrate the defensive fortress of Patih Kinjiri.
Everything Maha Patih Kana Raga said was just nonsense. The family of Prabu Bambang Pura did not want to ask anything when he saw Maha Patih Kana Raga who was sitting lethargic on his throne. And so did the other palace officials. Seeing Maha Patih Kana Raga, they already understand what happened.
The guards of Maha Patih Kana Raga immediately get various questions from the family of the late Prabu Bambang Pura. They only explained how they were, and did not want to talk much about what happened on the battlefield. Because the guards were also still grieving over the death of their friends.
Maha Patih Kana Raga just stared blankly at the ceiling of the magnificent palace. His mind seemed to be floating in the air. He thought about how the fate of the Dark Kingdom Slapped next. Most of the forces of the Dark Kingdom of Ngampar had been killed.
Leave the incomplete bodies that are left alone without anyone willing to bury them. The Maha Patih Kana Raga guards were very few, as were the soldiers who stood guard in this palace. Their numbers were not enough to defend a palace of this size.
Because now there is no more special forces. All the best troops in the Dark Kingdom Ngampar, sent to the battlefield. And none of them got away. Except for a few soldiers from the supporting kings who attacked the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela.
While the ones who attacked the Patih Kinjiri fortress area, none of them were left alive. They all died in terrible circumstances. Maha Patih Kana Raga still remembers how the fire raged around the giant fortress. He began to blame himself, for not making sure things were right.
On the night of the massacre, he could even still fall into a deep sleep without thinking about anything. Because he was very confident, if all his troops would win the war. He only realized that a war could not be won only by the number of troops.
But to win a war, it requires intelligence, patience, fortitude, and also thoroughness in watching every movement. Every situation could turn around. The strong don't always win. The weak cannot lose either.
With a situation that has been severely disappointed, Maha Patih Kana Raga tried to stay upright and did not want to grieve for long. He ordered one of the guards to gather all the palace officials. Maha Patih Kana Raga will try to fight his shame in front of everyone.
Again and again, Maha Patih Kana Raga will try to reassure the officials and also the palace family, that he can keep his promise. Although now he no longer has enough troops to attack, but he promised to restore the glory and power of the Dark Kingdom Ngampar.
"I have failed. And a lot of my men died. Only a few guards left with me. But I promise! All my failures will be the beginning of my success!"
".....Together we prove it! We are the ones who will never give up! Prabu Bambang Pura has also experienced failure! But look! The Dark Kingdom of Ngampar has stood on this land!" Maha Patih Kana Raga.
But the failure that Prabu Bambang Pura experienced many times, in the end became a great success. And stand the Dark Kingdom Ngampar, to become one of the largest kingdoms in the land of Java. The influence of Maha Patih Kana Raga is still very strong in the Dark Kingdom of Ngampar.
Even though there are actually people in the palace who doubt Maha Patih Kana Raga. Because Maha Patih Kana Raga rarely goes directly into battle. He would rather be in the back row to watch his troops.
The day that he fought Patih Kinjiri and the forces of the Viyagra Malela Kingdom, was the day that he was really very off guard and too underestimated the strength of the opponent. So he had to accept defeat.
He began to instill in himself, otherwise all the outnumbered opponents, would lose the battle. Everyone has their own advantages and disadvantages. So is he with himself.
He wanted to get to know more about Prabu Jabang Wiyagra, before he again attacked the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela. That way he can find out how much power Prabu Jabang Wiyagra has.
Since the great war, a lot of problems occurred in the circle of the Dark Kingdom Ngampar and also the kingdoms that had previously given support to Maha Patih Kana Raga.
There are many food crises. There are also many disputes between the royal family. Even many bandits that appear in every region in the kingdoms of Maha Patih Kana Raga supporters.
The kings who had previously been silent and focused on rebuilding their power, simultaneously began to demand Maha Patih Kana Raga. They want Maha Patih Kana Raga to take responsibility for what they have all experienced.
Maha Patih Kana Raga obviously could not give anything to them. Because the Dark Kingdom of Ngampar has also not long experienced economic growth. There are not enough resources that the Dark Kingdom of Ngampar must channel aid to other kingdoms.
That answer was also clearly not accepted by the supporting kings of the Dark Kingdom of Ngampar. They all vent their anger at the Dark Kingdom Ngampar palace during the meeting. Some burned their own robes. There are also those who damage all forms of whatever objects are in front of them.
Even between soldiers and between kings can attack each other. Maha Patih Kana Raga became very angry, because the Dark Kingdom Ngampar palace became disheveled due to the commotion. This is where Maha Patih Kana Raga shows the advantages.
He attacked everyone involved in the fight, except his own troops. Everyone who was there also lost at the hands of Maha Patih Kana Raga.
"I warn you all! I won't ban you if you want to kill each other. But if you do it in this palace, I won't think twice about breaking your neck." Maha Patih Kana Raga told them all.
The kings went straight from there. They all left with disappointment. Their grievances had no impact whatsoever, other than adding to the problem.
