Tirta Jayakusuma: Sak Dumuk Cough Sak Nyari Bumi
Start moving

That day the situation in Kademangan Pucakwangi was experiencing tension.

The cipher sent by Ki Jagadenta to supervise the people in Lowo Cave has returned and reported to Ki Rangga Jagadenta and also ki Jagabaya and Ki Demang and the elders Pademangan.

"They seem to have started preparing Ki Rangga!"

"When the dawn had fallen we had seen the movement of those who were preparing to travel with almost all of them having begun to move towards here."

"They're made up of three groups."

"One group consisted of horsemen numbering about twenty horses, while the rest are people who walk with the number of right wing approximately fifty people and left wing also approximately fifty people."

Hearing the description of the swipe of this sandwich, Ki Rangga Jagadenta looks up to the ceiling pendopo kademangan Pucakwangi.

"What I was worried about turned out to have come true."

"They seemed to be about to make a move because they realized that if the Kademangan guard troops and the youths had become stronger then they would have more and more difficulty in conquering this academy."

"And they are not the usual thugs and robbers, they must have been ridden by other elements," said Ki Rangga.

"You go back to the front line and see the movement of the begals, report every moment of change that occurs" Ki Rangga Jagadenta told telik this cipher.

"Well Ki Rangga!" Reply to the password, which then has stepped out of the Pendopo Kademangan.

After his password has been released, then Ki Rangga Jagadenta has said to Suro and Sarno.

"We cannot stand still against them."

"We must immediately prepare Sarno, Suro, Ki Jagabaya!"  Ki Rangga.

"Ki Demang, how many horses are there in this parent company?" Ask Ki Rangga.

"We must use all our might to withstand the attacks of the begals."

"And it is very important to fight those horsemen with the cavalry." Ki Rangga.

Ki Demang seemed to dwell for a moment like counting with his fingers.

"There are actually about ten Ki Rangga horses here!" But five of them belonged to a merchant who was at the northern end of this fort."

"And the possibility of the merchant to release his horses for use in battle is very small."

"The merchant was very caring for his horse and he was less concerned for the people around this village" said Ki Demang.

"He himself had a few guards to guard his property."

"But in such an important situation as this I don't know if he's willing to forget his horses for us to use against the begals."

"Well, Ki Demang, it is the duty of Ki Demang to contact the merchant so that he will release the horses.

"Let the White Bango take the horses." Ki Rangga.

"Please bring a few strong guards to accompany you White Bango, to take the horse! We really need that horse" Ki Rangga explained.

"I don't want too many casualties on our side.

"We're the fathers of the begals in Oro-oro Ombo."

"And duty Ki Demang and Ki Jagabaya! If we are unable to withstand the onslaught of the begals bring the children and women out of this fort to evacuate the two small ones who are behind there," said Ki Rangga.

The peacekeeping troops, numbering hundreds of people, were prepared by Ki Rangga Jagadenta.

Bango Putih has also carried out the task of Ki Rangga Jagadenta to go to the house of a merchant who is on the edge of the northern solidification of this parent solidification.

It turns out that Bango Putih has invited Tirta and Bayu over the permission of Ki Rangga and a friend.

They walked quickly down the rocky road in the middle of the solidification towards the North.

This merchant house is located on the outskirts of the solidification and is somewhat far from the parent solidification, about five hundred spears from the parent solidification.

When they are at the end of the solidification then seen in the distance on the outskirts of a road that leads to the Duchy of Pati there are several houses in the middle of rice fields and surrounded by trees lush.

"That's the merchant house of Karto!" White Bango said heading towards the group of houses that seemed a little far from where they were.

Indeed, at that time the houses of the historical population were rather far apart and usually certain people set up their houses to gather with relatives sometimes forming a colony.

This happens because in those times robbing and being scourged is a very scary specter.

So they have formed a colony to deter these criminals and to defend themselves together.

These four young men immediately ran down the street to the merchant's house.

They have to catch up with time because it is estimated before the sun becomes high then the begal who are in Lowo Cave it must have arrived in oro-oro.

And most likely the horsemen among them will arrive first.

When they arrived at the gate, they saw two men of sufficient stature blooming bare-chested and wearing a circular rag around the waist sitting in a lacquer under a coconut trees that are not too tall.

These two burly men immediately stood up.

"Heh, White Bango! What the hell you came here for!" Tegur one of these two men who seems to have known white bamboo.

"Do you want to sell ijo beans? Or peanuts? But I see you brought nothing !?" Ask this person again while looking intently at White Bango and his three friends.

"Oh, I'm not here to sell you anything Kang! I came here because it was sent by Ki Demang and also the leader of the soldiers in Pucakwangi!" White Bango Word.

"Eh!? What are you telling us about Ki Demang?" Ask this guy again.

"We will convey to Juragan Karto first kang," replied White Bango again.

"tell me first, I'll tell the Karto master" said the man.

White Bango seemed confused by the answers of these two men.

When then Bayu said.

"We have to deliver this message from Ki Demang directly to the Karto boss, Kang," Bayu said.

"Heh, who is your friend Bango!? It seems that he is not a resident of Pucakwangi and it seems that he does not know me yet" said this man who seems unhappy with the words of Bayu.

"He's our new resident Kang" replied White Bango.

"Then, tell us!" Refute to another man.

"Well if you force!"

"We were told to come by Ki Demang to borrow a horse belonging to the Karto master!" Bayu words that seem to start to be provoked by the attitude and words of these two people.
