Brain War on Gili Raja Island
The situation in south-central Gili Raja Island offers little ray of hope for the northern region. Under the leadership of the last Intermediate Village, Genteng Village, the seven regions quickly formed an alliance. They managed to assemble nearly fifty thousand strong troops, preparing to fight the forces of the northern side of Gayatri Rajapatni.
The command of the alliance forces is held by the Major General of the protection forces of Genteng Village, namely Uluka. Uluka was the son of Sengkuni and was recognized as a capable general. Here is his profile:
Name: Uluka (King Rank)
Dynasty: Gandhara
Identity: Major General of Genteng Village
Occupation: Advanced General
Loyalty Level: 80
Command Capability: 75
Power: 85
Intelligence: 55
Political Capabilities: 45
Privileges: Push-on (Increase troop movement speed by 15%)
Evaluation: Uluka is a strong general and has psychological tactical skills.
Under Uluka's leadership, the alliance's forces managed to limit the northern flank's offensive. With the situation on Gili Raja Island being critical, the battle as a whole entered the next stage.
In Djate Village, which served as an army camp, Raden Partajumena sat in front of his desk. At the table, a map of Gili Raja Island was obtained from the Military Intelligence Division. Although the situation had changed, Heru Cokro did not give any new orders to Raden Partajumena. Instead, he gave power to Raden Partajumena to act in his own discretion. Heru Cokro will not intervene again.
The trust given by his superiors meant a lot to Raden Partajumena, and he felt a responsibility to restore this trust. Raden Syarifudin's 2nd Division had gone to Aenganyar Village to rescue the southern side forces. Now, the only unit left for Raden Partajumena is the Guard Division.
The regions in the mid-south and north had formed an alliance, so the only remaining defensive point was in the middle. The Paspam Regiment continued to attack and seize land.
"Soldier!"
"Sendiko Dawuh!"
“Send my command. The 1st Regiment of the Guard Division will move and attack Banbaru Village. Division 1 Trident Pantura Squadron will proceed to Gili Raja Island Bay and provide assistance to the First Regiment.”
"Yes, general!"
Raden Partajumena prepares to act. If Banbaru Village was besieged, the middle-south region alliance would be faced with a very difficult situation. The decision of the regional lords will be key, whether they will save the alliance troops or prioritize their own territory.
Meanwhile, Raden Partajumena was not too worried about the problems in the north. Both sides are caught in a deadlock, and with Gayatri Rajapatni's ability, he is unsure if the same mistake will be repeated.
Although the battle situation on Gili Raja Island looked bleak for Java Dwipa, in fact, the end of the battle was imminent. All they needed to do was defeat the alliance army, and the Gili King Island would soon fall into their hands. Now, it all depends on the plan who is more careful in playing strategy.
While Gili Raja Island underwent significant changes, thousands of miles away, in Banjarmasin, changes are also underway. On the third day of June, a sunny morning with a refreshing morning breeze and a gentle morning mist, on the border of Mount Bukit Raya, is, the quiet forest was suddenly interrupted by a deep rumbling sound.
The voice drew closer, and a short while later, a large group of Dayak Tribe warriors shot out from the forest, towards a direction they had not expected. Each warrior wore red armor and carried weapons such as spear and hunting swords. On their backs, bows are ready to be used. Their faces were adorned with mysterious inked patterns, made from a mixture of soot and wild bee honey.
This time, the Dayak Tribe had gathered a force of around sixty thousand warriors. They suddenly emerged from the mountains and attacked the Tiger Legion.
They advanced with steady steps, overcoming all who dared to hinder them. As they stepped up, strange shouts accompanied them, reminiscent of hunters about to storm their prey.
As their troops exited the forest, a signal bullet shot into the sky and exploded. This is a sign that they have received an order. Signal bullets shot high up to two to three kilometers upwards, forming a dragon display that adorned the sky from Mount Bukit Raya to the base of the Tiger Legion. All of these processes took place in just a short period of time, less than fifteen minutes.
Interestingly, the Dayak Tribe troops are hundreds of kilometers from there, in a very far place.
Inside the tent of the Tiger Legion General, the atmosphere was quite tense. Major General of the 2nd division, Tipukhris, entered the tent and gave a report, "General, the fish has bitten its bait!"
Ashwatama remained calm, did not raise his head from his book, and replied, "Continue as planned."
"Yes, general!" Tipukhris immediately exited the tent.
At the base of the mountain regiment, the soldiers were seriously doing their regular training, honing their combat skills under the scorching sun.
Within the ranks, there were some soldiers who seemed to lack focus. Among them was the young leader of the Dayak Tribe, Batur Barui. With his mysterious method, he had contacted the other tribe members, and today was the day when they had agreed to launch an attack.
The Tiger Legion had set up their own mountain regiment base, complete with a guard wall surrounding it to make patrols easier. Tipukhris, a major general, led an cavalry and walked in front of his group, with the Guards following behind him.
"General!" The two colonels from the mountain regiment approached in confusion. They have no knowledge of any secret plan, to keep it secret.
Tipukhris gave a short order, "Gather an army."
"Yes, general!" the two colonels said as they bowed and went about their duties.
"Gather together!" Slowly, the mood of the soldiers in the regiment began to change. Many of them were tribal associates with Batur Barui, and they knew that today was the time they had prepared. Currently, any changes in the plan would affect them significantly.
The soldiers all turned around and looked at Batur Barui, feeling a tremor of tension in the air. Although he was nervous, Batur Barui maintained his calm appearance, following the footsteps of the other warriors.
When the two colonels finally arrived, they carried a tremor of uneasiness with them. Their faces became serious and tense.
“General, the mountain regiment has gathered!” they report.
Tipukhris remained seated on his horse and said, “I order all of you to lay down your weapons.”
The weapon used by the mountain regiment was the Luwuk Majapahit Sword, which they usually always carried when doing practical exercises.
The colonels were shivering with tension. They don't ask why, they just carry out orders.
“Looking our weapons? Why?” some soldiers protested loudly.
"Please!" one of the colonels exploded, furious. "This is an order! You've been practicing for months. Have you completely forgotten about the basics of the discipline?"
Their anger did not help, and the soldiers continued to make a fuss.
The colonel's face became very angry, because discipline in the army was very important. They began to feel shame in front of their own major general, as this indiscipline could make them lose face. Amidst this commotion, Batur Barui, who stood between them, felt a major change in their operation plan had been revealed.
