The Metaverse World
War and Intrigue in Java Dwipa
At that time, the Hajj Pipit Bird communication system developed in Java Dwipa became very valuable. In the future, other players will find similar communication networks. More interestingly, the creatures in this game world are bigger and more mysterious than those in the real world. In addition to the Haji Pipit, there are postal pigeons commonly used. They can even employ rats and other creatures.
Vishnu, by his unique logic, might limit or stop the mail delivery system at any given time to reduce the chances of players manipulating the war. This will make the war in this game more realistic. Rulers and generals should consider more aspects than ever before. Logistics alone is a very complicated issue. In the ancient era, logistics were often the determinant of victory in war.
War will bring about a series of adjustments and changes. The question is, who can adapt to the new rules and changes? Who can rise up and shine in this situation?
We turn to the Kediri region, precisely in the District of Avian. When Wijiono Manto learned that Lotu Wong had reached the rank of Camat III, his facial expression became gloomy and solemn.
"We must take action immediately" Wijiono Manto told one of his advisers. "I can't lose my position in this alliance."
Of course, Lotu Wong has caught up. As a result, Wijiono Manto not only lost to Roberto, but also his position as the second man in the alliance itself was threatened.
In his anger, Wijiono Manto damaged the items in his reading room once again. On July 14, on Java Island, it had been three days since the arrival of Gajah Mada and Siti Fatimah at the imperial court of Java Island.
Both use the Maimun Trade Union as a means to build a network of relationships. This connection allowed them to communicate with mid-level officials, which eventually helped them establish relations with officials in the imperial court.
Through this pathway, news of them spread to the emperor's ears. The conversation about this great change had already begun to spread throughout the entire palace.
They had expended a large amount of gold and resources. After two days, they finally arrived at the Imperial Palace of Java Island. Upon entering the Great Hall, Gajah Mada respectfully said a greeting, saying,
“Bawahan Regent of Gresik, Gajah Mada, salute His Majesty!”
The emperor sat on a high dragon throne, wearing a dragon robe. However, his face was covered by a thin layer of fog, making his real face hard to see.
“What are you coming for?” The emperor's voice sounded faint and somewhat indistinct.
“Your Majesty, Regent Gresik is very grateful for the honorific title that has been given and wants to give something to the imperial palace,” Gajah Mada said while handing over the gift he had prepared to the eunuch.
The court servant carefully received the gift and handed it to the emperor.
When the emperor opened the gift, he remained expressionless. After a while, he asked,
“Supati Gresik, what do you want as a gift?”
“Thank you, Your Grace, for your generosity. My master will not disappoint. He just wants to ask for a name or title from His Majesty in appreciation for his work supporting the empire,” Gajah Mada replied carefully.
“The Regent of Gresik is really ambitious,” said the emperor wisely. He immediately understood Gajah Mada's intentions.
“But Mr. Gresik is not greedy, he just wants to continue contributing to the empire in a more respectable way. He wants to be an official who takes care of animals and resources, thus providing greater benefits to the country.”
The Emperor pondered for a moment, then looked at the gift he had been given.
“I agree,” said the emperor finally.
“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Gajah Mada is very grateful. At least he did not disappoint his master in his request.
Meanwhile, in other regions, Sengkuni and Purocana had a much easier time. It was not for any other reason, but rather because they had the privileged support of most of the Eight Wasu temples.
Civilians have long been waiting for the statues, and if Heru Cokro expels them, it will mean losing a large number of tourists visiting Java Dwipa.
Even the emperor himself can quickly give a decision thanks to the blessings of Borobudur Temple.
The Emperor of Yogyakarta was personally present at the opening ceremony. Sengkuni saw this as a good opportunity to meet with the Emperor of Yogyakarta. The next question and answer went quickly and decisively.
The Emperor did not feel too much loss by granting the title of Governor-General to Heru Cokro. After all, the wilderness was not their territory. In addition, by receiving a large annual payment, this is a lucrative deal. Of course, the rank of Heru Cokro played an important role in this event. He was the first person in the world to be given the title of king, while Jawa Dwipa was also awarded the title of First Regent in the World. By combining all these factors, the chances of success increase.
However, the calculations are much more complicated than they seem. Hesty Purwadinata and Maria Bhakti may find it difficult to get similar treatment even though they also get the title. Nevertheless, when compared to Roberto, Hesty Purwadinata, and Maria Bhakti still have their respective advantages.
On 16 July in Java Dwipa, the two ambassadors returned and brought two imperial decrees from the emperors. Heru Cokro received two imperial decrees and heard a notification from a system that sounded nearby.
“System Notification: Congratulations to the player Jendra, Emperor of Java Island and Emperor of Yogyakarta have awarded you the title. Would you accept the position of Governor-General of East Java?”
"Yes!"
“System Notice: You have been appointed Governor-General of East Java and given the personal stamp of governor-general!”
Quickly, Heru Cokro fused the two imperial decrees in his hand into one, and a majestic golden seal immediately appeared.
The East Java Governor-General's seal that had just been received by Heru Cokro surpassed the Tuan Jawa Dwipa Seal in its grandeur. It was a big change in his position.
"The Governor-General's Seal of East Java, a magnificent name," murmured Heru Cokro, toying with this new seal in his hand. "This will be my personal stamp for official business."
The seal has an impressive description:
Name: Governor-General Seals of East Java Type: Accessory Privileges: Overseeing East Java (regions under the jurisdiction of the master are not limited to the land area of the region. All of East Java will be under the rule of the seal holder, protected and recognized by the imperial court). Evaluation: With this seal, the master can set up a manor and appoint officials under his command.
Furthermore, the function of this seal relates to the speciality [Keeping East Java]. When one was protected and recognized by the imperial palace, the sentiments of the people in the territory taken over would increase rapidly. No more retaliation from local groups or loyalists. Absolute power will be given to the holder of this seal.
Heru Cokro knew very well that this position and power would not come easily. But he has fought hard to achieve it.
As he was in the process of observing the stats of his new seal, another notification suddenly sounded near his ear.
System Notice: Jendra congratulations, Governor-General seal of East Java and Tuan Jawa Dwipa Seal can be combined into Garuda Seal to help slightly unseal it. Will you combine them?
Heru Cokro did not take long to decide.
"Shake up!" it's been without a doubt. The Garuda Seal is the key to building his own country. Everything he did all this time was to obtain it.
System Notice: Jendra congratulations, East Java Governor-General Seal, and Tuan Jawa Dwipa Seal have been successfully incorporated into Garuda Seal. Both seals have disappeared and the statistics of the Garuda Seal have changed!
The two seals turned into two golden lights that flowed into the Garuda Seal. The previously dark surface of the seal now shone brightly.
Name: Garuda Seal (platinum rating) Type: Accessory Privileges: Expelling demons, jinn, spirits and the like (non-mortal and help repel evil), Maintaining East Java (regions under the jurisdiction of the lord are not limited to the land area of the territory. The whole of East Java will be under the authority of seal holders, protected and recognized by the imperial court), the influence of which is conferred (increasing people's sentiments by 10%), the, Injection Bejo (The Garuda Seal has received an additional buff of two major titles, guiding people's luck and sentiments into the golden seal (to help unseal it. The higher the local sentiment and the larger the territory, the faster the seal will be opened).
The Garuda Seal was a sealed emperor seal, and it required an injection of Garuda Danyang Negara essence to unseal it. The second function of the golden seal is to help inject good luck and prosperity into the controlled territory. It was an important milestone in Heru Cokro's journey to build his own empire.
