The Fire Dragon Sword
Sabrang VS Biantara's
Wardhana stared at Arya Wijaya's sword for quite a while before closing her eyes, her face looking restless and she occasionally massaged her forehead.
"I don't think the effects of the crimes committed by Masalembo gave rise to other groups that are no less dangerous" Wardhana said in his heart.
"You should rest for a while because it's still day, recover your strength because tonight will be very long," Axis appeared from behind the door while bowing his head.
"Teacher," Wardhana stood up and saluted.
"Your majesty asked me to see you because since the meeting ended you haven't been out of the room. What what what are you thinking?" ask the Taxi while sitting in front of Wardhana.
Wardhana took a deep breath before answering the Axis question.
"Did a teacher ever lose a battle?" ask Wardhana slowly.
"Only a god may never lose, I can't lose how many times I've lost because so many," replied the Axis calmly.
"What did the teacher do?" wardhana Reply.
"Mind, look for what is wrong with the strategy that I made and then fix it so that next time do not experience the bitterness of defeat" Paksi said slowly.
"just that? do teachers not feel guilty about the fallen soldiers?"
"Nobody wants to be killed in a war, but when you decide to be any soldier, you must be prepared for death to come at any time.
Combat strategy is an art of war that predicts the movements of opponents and exploits their weaknesses to win battles. All is only an estimate because nothing is certain in war.
When you won the battle against me and Majasari in Rogo Geni, you were far superior in reading the opponent's movements. If we fight again will you win? not necessarily because I've learned what my mistake was at the time.
What I want to tell you is never to be afraid to lose a battle, correct all the mistakes you've done before and make your new weapon" Paki said.
Wardhana fell silent after hearing the Axis's words while looking at the teacher's face.
"The shadow of Malwageni's destruction somehow resurfaced in my mind, I'm afraid Cakra Tumapel doesn't want to negotiate."
"Do you remember my message if you're negotiating with an opponent? Make sure your position is above them. Strength and psychological reading of the opponent is the most important thing in successful negotiations.
Humans tend not to think clearly if in a depressed position to see the strength of the opponent, that's when you have to make sure to master the situation. If you've controlled the situation then everything is within your grasp. Be a ruthless Devil when negotiating and do not even show weakness before them, the opponent must see if you are a god that cannot be defeated" the Axis replied
"If negotiations are deadlocked?" ask Wardhana.
"Dead-end negotiations indicate your strength is balanced, so do not give a gap for opponents to have a bargaining position before you, destroy their confidence as soon as possible.
Look Wardhana, I don't like to be stale, right now if anyone can subdue Cakra Tumapel then that person is you, show me that Your Excellency Arya Dwipa didn't choose you wrong," answer the Axis firmly.
"Teacher..," Wardhana seemed to have regained confidence after hearing Axis remarks, she got up from her seat and saluted for quite a while.
"Thank you for all the guidance you gave me" Wardhana said sincerely.
"Don't thank me, if you feel my words are right then prove it by bringing success to Malwageni. We were reunited in this palace and I found a way of life here too so make sure the Malwageni palace is not destroyed," replied Axis quickly.
Wardhana just nodded her head, now her feelings are much more relieved.
"Master I beg you to face," Arung's voice sounded from outside the room.
"Come in" answered Wardhana quickly.
Arung stepped in and saluted Wardhana.
"Master, according to some Telik password that I spread, there are ten unknown people moving towards Malwageni, the possibility of their night has arrived" said Arung slowly.
"They've started to move, make sure everything is in position and don't move before I have my orders. I'm going to meet Rakiti to prepare something" Wardhana said.
"Okay sir," replied Arung quickly before stepping away.
"I'll meet Her Majesty and the Queen Mother, remember my message, don't open negotiations before you confirm your position!" the Taxi reminded.
"Good teacher, I beg you."

In a basement room, Rakiti is seen sitting meditating while closing her eyes. He tried to draw his inner strength but to no avail, the deep power that had been trained for almost his entire life seemed to disappear without rest.
"Damn! that woman really destroyed all my science," said Rakiti upset.
Rakiti opened her eyes when she felt someone staring at her, looking like Wardhana was standing behind bars with a smile.
"Did you come to mock me? if it's true then do it while you can, because even if you sentence me to death, Cakra Tumapel will not remain silent, you will be destroyed," Rakiti said cynically.
"You don't have to worry because I've prepared something to welcome them" Wardhana replied softly.
"Happy? so you purposely lured us in? what exactly are you planning!" Rakiti looked surprised after hearing Wardhana sayings.
"Do you think I'm so cruel as to execute a defenseless opponent? I deliberately spread the word that I will execute you to lure them out" Wardhana replied.
"Aren't you too confident Wardhana? do you think Cakra Tumapel's head is that weak until you confidently invite him over?"
"What should we fear if we defeat the strongest man named Lakeswara. You don't think Cakra Tumapel's chief is much stronger than Masalembo's supreme leader, do you?" wardhana replied mockingly.
"You!" Rakiti stared intently at Wardhana while clenching her hands.
"You know, sir, I've been dying to kill you for your stupidity all along, but Your Majesty forbade me" Wardana said, throwing a small scroll at Rakiti.
"Read, that's the record I made about the secret of Pagebluk Lampor that I managed to find out. I will wait here until you finish reading it. If you think I'm lying then I'll go and destroy the Tumapel chakra with my own hands" Wardhana said.
Rakiti looked surprised after reading the notes made by Wardhana, he recalled Ciha's remarks about Pagebluk Lampor in Trowulan.
"Thunder fire? I just heard that name during my life in the martial world" said Rakiti slowly.
Right now our enemy is the same Thunder of fire, the madness of those who want to unleash the plague I will not allow. I'm talking to you because I want to reduce the number of enemies but if Cakra Tumapel stays in his decision I'll gladly destroy you before Thunder Fire" Wardhana said.
Rakiti began to eat Wardhana's plan, he saw Wardhana not play with his words. Rakiti actually agreed with what Wardhana said, with the power Sabrang currently has it is not impossible to destroy the Tumapel chakra.
"Keep that note and think about what I say, I hope you can think clearly. Pagebluk Lampor cannot come out or Nuswantoro will be destroyed" Wardhana said before stepping away.
"If Pagebluk Lampor is really a plague and assume I believe in all your words, it still won't change anything. I myself am not sure able to change the attitude of the chairman quickly because his past grudge on the Dwipa breed is so great," said Rakiti arrived.
Wardhana stopped her steps and turned her head towards Rakiti.
"I already have a way to talk to the head of the Tumapel Cakra, you just need to help me a little. My main target is not you guys but the thunder of fire" Wardhana said softly.
"Help you?" Rakiti scrunched her forehead.
***
The atmosphere of Malwageni palace that night seemed a little gripping, according to Wardhana's orders hundreds of south Wind troops guarding the main gate of the palace.
The atmosphere was increasingly gripping because the night was raining quite large, lightning flashes and rumbling sounds as if to be a sign of bloodshed in the palace Malwageni.
On a vacant lot just behind the main hall, two people stood with their hands tied and their heads covered.
Wardhana, standing in the rain with the White Fox and Candrakurama, was seen taking a deep breath before giving the order to behead the two men.
The two executioners stared at each other after seeing Wardhana's orders, they then pulled out their swords and prepared to chop off the heads of the two men in front of him.
As the two swords nearly touched the necks of the prisoners, a body darted quickly and attacked them.
The quick and sudden attack made the two executioners look unprepared, their bodies thrown with sword slash wounds without being able to react anything when a sword struck.
"Fastly," the White Foxes and Candrakurama immediately reacted, they moved quickly towards the mysterious swordsman. However their steps came to a halt when the other nine Tumapel chakra warriors appeared simultaneously.
"Tumapel chakra? it seems that you guys are too confident to dare to come here," said the White Fox while releasing an aura from its body.
"Cakra Tumapel has never been afraid of anyone including the White Fox, especially if its members are straying" said Biantara.
The White Fox scrunched her forehead, she did not expect them to know her identity.
"Alright if so, I will not hesitate anymore," the White Fox decided to attack first followed by Candrakurama, he immediately released a burst of energy in the Devil to suppress the warriors who confronted him.
Biantara looked surprised after seeing the science of the White Fox, although he had predicted it but he did not expect it to be that high.
"I must quickly take them away" Biantara approached the two men who were about to be put to death.
His face changed instantly as one of them suddenly moved.
A blaze burned his head cover just before a sword appeared in his hand.
"Steel pace of body destruction" Sabrang darted rapidly along with the flames that continued to grow in his body.
"Him?" Biantara drew his sword and jumped back but his movement was too late, Sabrang was already nearby.
"Steel pace.." Sabrang's body suddenly stopped as the air around him solidified.
"Kuntala's air wall" Sabrang said in surprise.
"You surprised? you will be even more surprised when I am able to defeat the descendants of the Dwipa breed with one attack. Lakeswara will cry regretfully for throwing me away," Biantara counterattacked, she turned her sword slightly.
"The streak of the devastating lightning sword," Biantara swung his sword with all his might.
"Even he mastered Kuntala's style," Sabrang closed his eyes for a moment, using the III level Saketi's melting core study to attract the fire god's energy.
The sound of an explosion was heard when two heirlooms collided, seen Biantara's body bouncing between the rocks that flew due to the effects of the explosion.
"How can he move on my air wall?" not lost the surprise of Biantara, Sabrang was already near him.
"The claw of the earth god," Sabrang's arm tried to reach his opponent's body but Biantara was more alert, he used the surrounding air wall to move away before striking back.
Sabrang moved agilely avoiding any increasingly rapid Biantara attacks.
Sabrang is actually a little superior but the air wall around Biantara a little troublesome movement.
Sabrang was forced to use more fire god energy to make his body move agilely between the air walls.
Some of Biantara's attacks were able to hit Sabrang's body but at the same time his body did not escape the attack.
After exchanging dozens of moves, Biantara decided to jump backwards when the fire God energy suddenly enlarged.
"The fire is really difficult," said Biantara slowly.
"Do you think this wall of air is capable of stopping me?" Sabrang mocked.
"You're too confident, son, that's just a welcome greeting, I hope you're prepared because I won't let go of the Lakeswara lineage" Biantara replied softly.
"Thank you for the warning, now it's my turn to say welcome" Sabrang replied.
Sabrang and Biantara moved in unison, the outflow of energy from both their bodies signifying a battle of two great powers was about to take place.
