The Battle of Elder Wiyasa
The Battle of Elder WiyasaElder Wiyasa’s eyes focused on the men dressed in black, who were slaughtering the soldiers of the Purareksa Kingdom. On one hand, he wanted to rush forward and face them directly, but on the other hand, he had to ensure the safety of King Damarjaya, just as Arya had entrusted him.“Your Majesty should retreat at once. Your life will be at stake if you remain here,” said Elder Wiyasa.“How could I run and save myself while my soldiers fight to the death, Elder?” King Damarjaya objected.“The future of the Purareksa Kingdom is still long, Your Majesty. If you fall here, then the sacrifice of your soldiers will be in vain. I beg you to retreat, and let me join the battle to support our warriors.”King Damarjaya hesitated. He was reluctant to leave, but after careful thought, he realized that the words of his former advisor carried truth.“Very well, Elder. But if the situation cannot be maintained, it would be better for you to withdraw the troops.”“Yes, Your
A Display of Quality
On the other side, King Damarjaya and Elder Wiyasa gave orders to all Purareksa kingdom soldiers to slowly move away so as not to raise suspicion.For the soldiers of Swarnabumi and Ayodya kingdoms, what the Purareksa soldiers did was not invisible to their eyes, but they suspected nothing at all, since news of Purareksa kingdom’s betrayal had not yet reached their ears.The hundred elite members of the Hell Bat Sect, who already knew about this information, could not act further either, because no orders to move had been given, even though they were aware that Purareksa’s soldiers were trying to withdraw from the place.The archers of Purareksa kingdom, numbering fewer than two hundred, were already prepared with arrows mounted on their bows. Prime Minister Aswamarwan had stationed them in strategic spots for maximum accuracy. The effectiveness of the arrow attack was expected to quickly reduce the enemy’s numbers.King Damarjaya and Elder Wiyasa had already made careful calculations
Anticipation
King Damarjaya gazed upon his five thousand soldiers, who so far remained loyal to him. Their faces showed a fierce determination to defend their sovereignty.Although the Sastrajingga Kingdom was not directly their homeland, in terms of territory, the Purareksa Kingdom was a small realm under the dominion of Sastrajingga.Purareksa’s integration into the Sastrajingga Kingdom more than a decade ago was not the result of war, but of King Dharmalaksana’s clever political maneuvering.Before joining Sastrajingga’s rule, Purareksa had suffered years of severe famine—something King Damarjaya had failed to anticipate. The royal officials also did not foresee the coming food shortage, forcing Purareksa’s ruler to seek aid from King Dharmalaksana.In truth, the famine had struck Sastrajingga and other kingdoms as well, but they were far better prepared. King Dharmalaksana, long before the crisis, had already established vast granaries to store harvests in preparation for the hard times. Each
Elder Wiyasa’s Instinct
---Elder Wiyasa’s InstinctKi Panji Anom remained silent, lost in thought. Despite the betrayal of his own nephew, he was still confident that he could seize the throne of the Sastrajingga Kingdom.“Regarding the concerns you feel, I can understand them. We have come this far and suffered a crushing blow with the death of Nyi Langkir and the betrayal of our allies. But none of this will shake my conviction that we will still triumph in this war. Once I step onto the battlefield myself, no one will be able to stop me—not even Arya!”Ki Panji Anom’s words did not immediately dispel the doubts of King Ayodya and King Karnakemala. Both were still shaken by the two consecutive events that had significantly reduced their strength.The defeat of Nyi Langkir’s forces alone had cost them nearly ten thousand soldiers. Coupled with the loss of around ten thousand troops from the Purareksa Kingdom, nearly half of their combined strength was gone.“Elder, you still haven’t answered my question. W
Beyond Expectations
Inside the tent, Ki Panji Anom appeared to be in serious discussion with King Ayodya and King Karnakemala. The three of them were startled when a man suddenly entered and immediately knelt before them.From the uniform the man wore, Ki Panji Anom instantly recognized him as a member of the Blood Sword Sect. What puzzled him, however, was that within the army under his command, there were no members of Elder Ki Ageng Kolo Pati’s sect. He himself had divided the Blood Sword Sect into two groups—half following Nyi Langkir, and the other half joining the forces led by Arya and his niece, Ratnasari.This led him to suspect that if this man was here, it had to be for something urgent. To confirm his suspicion, Ki Panji Anom asked an opening question.“What is the reason for your arrival here?”“Forgive me, Elder, Your Majesty… I have very important news to deliver. The forces led by Elder Nyi Langkir and Elder Poncokusumo have been defeated.” The Blood Sword Sect member bowed his head in fe
A Risky Plan
Along with the explosion of the golden sphere within Rengga’s mind, the real body of the Great Commander of Jaya Buana also radiated a blinding golden light, forcing everyone in the tent to shut their eyes because of its brilliance.Even Arya, whose abilities far surpassed the others and who possessed the Dragon God’s Eyes, was startled and had to close his eyes.The dazzling golden light lasted for a while before finally fading away completely. Only the faint glow of a small lantern remained as the source of illumination.“What just happened?” Prince Suryalaksana asked, curious about the event that had just occurred.No one dared to answer except Arya. He felt Rengga’s fingers twitch, then squeeze his hand tightly.“Rengga has returned, Brother,” Arya replied, a wide smile spreading across his face.Prince Suryalaksana widened his eyes in disbelief. He gazed at Rengga’s face, which already looked brighter. His eyelids fluttered before slowly opening.“Uncle!” The third son of King Dh
