The Metaverse World
Hegemony Java Dwipa Part 3
On December 15th, Jawa Dwipa District.
The 23 rulers of the western region of Gresik all gathered in the Javanese sub-district of Dwipa for a meeting, and none of them dared to miss it.
Heru Cokro personally accepted everything.
The meeting location is set in the main hall. Since it was a meeting between the rulers, Heru Cokro did not arrange for Kawis Guwa to accept them.
Many of the ruling territories were basically around medium-sized villages, and only a few of them managed to upgrade to hamlets. Seeing the spirit and brilliance of Dwipa Javanese District, they were very surprised.
As they walked into the Manor Regent and saw such a majestic residence, they felt even more demoralized. Compared to the Manor Regent, their home was a rickety straw-roofed hut.
That's when they really understand the gap between their region and the District of Java Dwipa.
For many of the rulers present, this was the first time they had come out of their own territory. When they were inside, they felt like a king and were arrogant. So they think what if the District of Java Dwipa is upgraded to an advanced subdistrict, they are both rulers, then what is the difference?
Seeing the prosperity of Java Dwipa, now they finally know that they are frogs in the well.
The main hall was well-organized with servants bringing tea and fruits.
After the Manor Regent expanded, under the instructions of Heru Cokro, Zahra hired a group of servants again to ensure that the manor was running normally.
The great ruling residence needed 10 men to clean it up. Not wanting the atmosphere to be too formal, he invited a group of entertainers to dance and sing.
To be honest, this was also the first time Heru Cokro had seen such a show, and it was truly beautiful and charming.
Such a scene left all the rulers stunned. Because this was the real life of a ruler, and their little land was nothing compared to this.
Heru Cokro sat on the ruling chair and raised his old glass, looked around and smiled. “You all came from far away, sorry if I don't welcome you all well. This is for all of you!”
Everyone held up the wine glass in their hands.
No matter what everyone thought in their hearts, the place was noisy and warm.
Along with the show, all the rulers started chatting. They had so much fun that they forgot the reason why they had come, as if they were here for a banquet.
Heru Cokro walked around the main hall and spoke with each ruler.
Some of them treated her warmly, while others acted cold.
Unknowingly, an hour had passed.
Seeing that it was time, he waved to the group of entertainers to stop performing and the hall became silent. Fortunately, one cannot get drunk in the game. Otherwise, it would not be easy to calm the mood.
All the rulers felt a tremor in their hearts, knowing that the real show was about to begin.
Heru Cokro sat back down and looked around. “I invite all of you here, in addition to getting to know each other, this is also to plan for the future of Gresik.”
A rash king immediately said, “For what purpose did you invite us here? You can directly tell us, no need to beat around the bush.”
“OK, then I'll talk directly. The Javanese sub-district of Dwipa governs the Petrochemical Manor, and of course, it cannot be removed. The matter between the Petrochemical Manor and your territory can be resolved only if you agree to some terms. I promise that your territory will not be touched until it falls under the area of Jawa Dwipa.”
The rulers shivered. The lines Heru Cokro drew for them made them very uncomfortable.
“Haha~ha, Regent Gresik really knows how to joke. With the speed of Dwipa Javanese District, it will be faster than later when we are taken over. So, whatever you suggest will not solve the root of the problem.”
"Fuckin' thick!" someone agrees, “What is the point of a moment of peace? We are not ostriches pretending everything is fine.”
“But what if I could promise you a profit after your territory is conquered?”
"If our territory is conquered by you, what is the benefit?"
“How can you ensure our interests?”
In an instant, the main hall was in an uproar.
"Everybody shut up and listen to me." He waited for the hall to shut up before saying, "Why not wait until I say my idea before you make a decision?"
“Oke, let us know! How can you promise that we benefit?”
Seeing that the fate of those conquered could not be changed, some intelligent kings began to beg for profit, and did not make a fuss for no reason.
Heru Cokro nodded, “Everyone plays The Metaverse World for two reasons. One of them is that they love the game and enjoy it. While the second is they want to get something, and on the second evaluation by Vishnu is to raise their permission level. Am I right?”
“That's true, but when our territory is conquered, everything will be in vain. What achievement value can be talked about?”
"Fuckin' thick!"
"Wrong." Heru Cokro firmly shook his head.
"Wrong?"
“Yes, you were wrong about that. Assessment of achievement value is not only based on region. The territory of Indonesia has more than 10 thousand rulers. In the end, how many of them could survive? Those who are conquered or destroyed, will they really get a score of zero achievement? Of course not. The value of achievement is based on territory, wealth, employment level and the like. Therefore even though your territory is conquered, it does not mean you lose everything.”
All the rulers basically agreed with what Heru Cokro said.
“Regent Gresik, speak! What will you promise?” Said one of the rulers named Linda.
She was one of the few female rulers.
"okay." Heru Cokro nodded. “As long as you agree to my terms, I promise that after I conquer your territory, I will allow you to stay in the Jawa Dwipa Subdistrict. In addition, all the wealth you have earned until now will be your personal assets. With that, you can use this money to develop in the capital or become a trader in the District of Java Dwipa. It's all your own choice.”
“Talking the truth, I'm sure you all know that running an area is risky, and war between rulers is very cruel. Of the hundreds of rulers, only a few could survive. So why not become a trader? You can get big advantage.”
After Heru Cokro was finished, the main hall was completely silent.
What he had to say, was already said. He had taken enough sincerity, so all that was left was to see what decision they would make.
"Can you clearly state your condition?" Linda asked.
Heru Cokro nodded and smiled. " It's simple, I have two conditions. First, your troops will be reorganized by the District of Java Dwipa, and you can not recruit new soldiers. The defense of the territory will be under division 1. Second, your organizational structure will follow the standards of Dwipa Javanese District. Of course, we won't bother anyone you point to. The above two points will apply until your territory is conquered. After being conquered, you can all stay in the District of Java Dwipa or other places.”
"Supervisor Gresik, don't you think that you are persecuting us?" After hearing the terms, some people were unhappy.
"That's right, we're not that weak, and you can't do whatever you want with us."
“And also, how can you make sure that you will keep your promise?”
"If you don't believe me, we can sign the contract." Heru Cokro replied.
“That's the best!”
"How good is it, a bunch of soft eggs without a backbone."
"Jank!" Being humiliated like that, the ruler was furious.
Heru Cokro watched closely, and found that the person who insulted the other ruler had tried to stir up as if he was determined to create trouble.
His face immediately turned cold, and looked towards him. “I don't care if you're under orders from someone else, or you do it yourself. I am now officially informing you that your territory will not be protected by us. Wait to be conquered!”
"Raim*\, as*!" The man's face was red as if pierced.
"Guards!"
"Please for this master to leave the District of Java Dwipa." Heru Cokro pointed at the man.
"Your Majesty!" The guards carried the ruler whose face was now deathly pale. He had not expected Heru Cokro to get angry so quickly and not give him a chance.
