The situation on the border of the South and the West is increasingly tense. Several times there were clashes between Western and Southern Kingdom forces that caused the peace of the conflict area was disrupted.

Now in the city that became the border between the South and the west have thousands of people who fled. Not a few of them left the house without carrying property.

“How many troops are they moving to this city?” Ask the city leader.
“According to the information from telik our password, there are about ten thousand troops, your honor.”
“What ten thousand troops, there is no way we can block them from entering here. That's a very large number. They were indeed preparing to attack the Southern kingdom. While our kingdom must face two battles, rebellion from within and also war with other kingdoms. You announce to the townsfolk to evacuate.”
“Yang, I have sent you a letter about the conditions we face and whether we are not waiting for a response from the kingdom to the residents to evacuate. Who knows the kingdom will send a relief force for us to face the enemies.” Said an officer to the city leader.
“You must not expect too much of our kingdom. If they also send help, at most they can send us five hundred troops. What it means is five hundred troops to face ten thousand trained troops. Moreover, like the information we got from the pass point, their army consisted of several groups. One of the groups is martial arts warriors who are highly trained in martial arts and kanuragan.” Pramana the city leader.
“You yourself how is the city leader? Shouldn't you just take refuge with the residents. It seems very dangerous for the master to remain here.” Ask the city leader's personal bodyguard.
“I stay here. This city of natural mangoes is my birthplace. And it just so happens that I was entrusted to be the leader in this city. Whatever happens later I will remain here defending the city until the last blood point.” City leader.
The soldiers and officers who happened to be there were moved to hear the words of the city leader. In their hearts also grew the spirit to fight together the leader to defend the city. Indeed that is usually the nature of the soldiers when in his heart grew the nature of knights. Then abstain for them to flee from the battlefield.
Just during the day where the sun is shining. There was the sound of the drumbeat of the battle rook defense of Batu Sangga city. While the troops of the city gate guards had been standing on top with the arrow weapons ready to be released.
A horseman fled his horse alone towards the city gate. The man was carrying a messenger flag. In the rules of war, if one party sends a messenger to the other party, there must be no one to interfere with the messenger.
The man as a Western royal envoy was wagging the messenger flag in front of the gate. Seeing that, the gate was opened to give way to the messenger. He entered after the gate was opened. “Take me to the city leader.” Said the messenger.
“Facing Your Majesty!” the disciple said to the city leader while kneeling on one leg. The Western royal envoy followed what the soldier did to pay his respects to the city leader.
“Build!” the city leader. “What did the king of the western kingdom send you to meet me.” asked the city leader of Batu Sangga alam to the envoy.
“Sorry your majesty. Servant carries a letter as a message from the noble king of the Western kingdom.” The messenger then showed a force in his hand.
The city leader gestured to the guard who was in his right to take the letter from the messenger. Then the soldier moved to fulfill the orders of the city leader. He took a letter from the western royal envoy and handed it over to the leader. Then the city leader opened and read the contents of the letter.
From the king of the west, to the leader of the city of Batu Sangga nature.
The war has just begun. Your city is the first region we will conquer. If the leader of the city would surrender without a fight then his office would not be replaced by another if we won this war. But if the city leaders fight, we will take the city by war.
Briefly dense and clear the contents of the letter written by the king of the West. Vibrating also the guts of a Pramana leader of the stone city of Sangga nature read the letter. But the hardness of his heart kept him firm to endure.
“Tell your king, no matter what happens I will stay here to defend what is ours. For a long time, the western and Southern empires coexisted without any war. But for some reason the heavy King chose to end that peace with war.” Said the city leader in a satirical tone.
After handing over the letter from the Western King and getting an answer from the city leader, the envoy returned. Not a single bit of the messenger gets bad treatment or interference on the way. Arriving at the encampment while the western royal forces, he immediately met the commander who led the war forces.
“Honor to his majesty commander!” said the soldier who became the messenger earlier while kneeling one foot.
“What is the answer from the city leader of natural stone Sangga?” ask the commander.
“Please your honor, the city leader of Batu Sangga clipped a glass to stay afloat did not open the gate. He said that he would defend the city until the last blood point. He also insinuated that his Majesty the King said yes the western kingdom has tarnished the peace that has been going on between the two kingdoms.”
“Hmmm... How presumptuous they are to criticize the policies of our King. Then tomorrow morning we will begin the assault and conquest of the city. From the joint across to the city I was informed that their defenses were very fragile except for the archery troops that were on top of the fortifications. For that we deploy when conquering later are troops consisting of heroes in the martial world.
