The Arrival of Reinforcements
Slowly, the situation grew dire for the rebel forces. Without Poncokusumo to lead and command them, their formation fell into disarray, unsure of what to do. If not for Poncokusumo’s strict order to hold out for as long and as strong as possible, they might have chosen to retreat and flee the battlefield altogether. Within half an hour, casualties among the rebels had risen to nearly three thousand lives lost—a horrifying outcome none of them had wished for. What shocked many was the presence of Wiguna and his four companions now fighting for the Sastrajingga royal army. Just the day before, they had still been seen at Poncokusumo’s side on the grassy plains. Those five former disciples of Poncokusumo fought with ruthless ferocity, showing no hesitation despite once being allies. “Exterminate them all, leave no one alive!” shouted Prince Suryalaksana, giving the order. Now that they were in a favorable position, the soldiers of Sastrajingga became even more spirited, following t
The Spy’s Mistake
It was impossible for such a large number of troops to move silently, yet at the very least, the attack could still deliver an unexpected surprise to the enemy.But what the spies had predicted turned out to be a grave mistake. Following Poncokusumo’s instructions before he left to seek reinforcements, several spies had been deployed to guard and monitor the area where the rebel forces had gathered. Thus, the arrival of the spies from the Sastrajingga Kingdom, who were observing their position, was quickly discovered.Preparations to welcome the enemy were immediately set in motion. Hundreds of rebel archers were already in position, ready to unleash a rain of arrows as the opening strike.Although the attack was unlikely to be very effective due to the dense trees within the forest, the rebels hoped that their sudden assault could at least reduce the enemy’s numbers and buy them enough time to hold out until reinforcements arrived.On the other hand, their morale had already plummete
Counterattack
At the same time as Poncokusumo was explaining his story, Arya was busy devising a plan. Moments like this were rare and had to be taken advantage of to the fullest.“Why are you silent? What are you thinking about?” Poncokusumo asked, feeling that Arya was not listening to him.“Nothing. I was just thinking that the warrior who defeated Nyi Langkir must indeed possess great strength,” Arya replied, stroking his chin.“That’s exactly why I came here—to ask for your help. Only you and Elder Ki Panji Anom are capable of defeating him. Since you are the closest, I took the initiative to come here,” Poncokusumo explained.Arya frowned. “Wait, Elder… shouldn’t you also be capable of defeating him?”Poncokusumo’s face darkened. He hadn’t expected this young man to mock him so directly. “Now is not the time for jokes, Arya. You know well that my strength is below Nyi Langkir’s. If she was defeated, what chance do I have?”“How should I know, Elder… I’ve never even tested that woman’s strengt
Asking for Help
The color drained from Poncokusumo’s face the moment his eyes saw Nyi Langkir’s lifeless body. The shadow of defeat for the troops he now had to lead began to dance before his eyes. If even Nyi Langkir had fallen in battle against a warrior from the Sastrajingga Kingdom, what chance did he, whose martial skill was far below the leader of the Sukma Sejati sect, have?“Take her body away and throw it far from here!” he ordered.Poncokusumo could no longer think clearly. His cleverness in gathering strength now seemed useless. Tomorrow morning he had to lead his troops against the Sastrajingga army, which would certainly be led by the warrior who had defeated Nyi Langkir.Two soldiers carried Nyi Langkir’s body away from Poncokusumo’s sight, while the others remained near the deputy leader of the Blood Sword sect, waiting for his next command.Poncokusumo stood frozen in silence. His mind wandered, searching for a way to achieve victory in tomorrow’s battle. Yet the harder he thought, th
No Cure
Prince Suryalaksana saw no ill intention in the five men before him. They even willingly handed over their weapons to the soldiers.“Follow me! I will take you to Uncle Rengga,” Prince Suryalaksana said, stepping forward.Wiguna bid farewell to his four companions before following behind the twenty-two-year-old prince.There was another reason why the prince allowed Wiguna to meet Rengga—he suspected this man had some connection to the female warrior who had fought Rengga.Since Rengga showed no internal injuries, Prince Suryalaksana assumed there must be another hidden factor involved.“Enter!” Prince Suryalaksana stepped into the tent and sat cross-legged beside Rengga’s still-unconscious body.As he entered, Wiguna was startled to see Rengga lying weak and helpless on a mat. The official who had previously examined Rengga was also present.“What happened to Master Rengga, Your Highness?” Wiguna asked anxiously.Prince Suryalaksana let out a long sigh and turned to the official. “Yo
Near-Death State
After giving the order, Prince Suryalaksana returned inside the tent, followed by the official behind him.Both of them stopped walking once they reached the side of Rengga’s still-unconscious body.“Quickly, check Uncle Rengga’s condition!”“Yes, Your Highness.” The official’s eyes scanned from Rengga’s face to his feet before kneeling beside him to begin the examination.The first thing he checked was Rengga’s pulse. Within just a few seconds of holding Rengga’s left wrist, a deep frown appeared on his forehead.Seeing the official’s expression, Prince Suryalaksana grew curious and asked, “How is Uncle Rengga’s condition?”“My apologies, Your Highness… In my opinion, the Commander’s condition shows no signs of internal injuries or anything of that sort. Strangely, however, his pulse is extremely weak, and I can’t sense any sign of life from him at all,” the official replied.“How could this happen?” Prince Suryalaksana asked again.“According to the medical knowledge I’ve studied, t
