Prangs!
"I'm not cool."
There was the sound of objects slamming onto the floor accompanied by loud snaps blaring from the mouth of a man dressed very luxuriously like a great King.
He is the King of Jaya Pradana. A king who occupied the throne of Sri Kemuning's kingdom by way of rebellion.
Just now he got a report that a group of soldiers from the Duchy of Bojong Sewu, had just been robbed by a band of robbers who named themselves as, Teak valley robbers.
Since decades or even hundreds of years ago, the border area of the three kingdoms is safe. But now since a year ago began to emerge increasingly strong and ferocious robbers in the region of the forest berlujah.
Any soldier from the Duchy of Bojong Sewu, the duchy of Kali Bening, the coral duchy of Atos who wanted to deposit tribute to the central kingdom, would always be confronted by this band of robbers. They did not even hesitate to kill the soldiers who went against their will.
This led the dukes to reason that their reason for not sending tribute was that the retinue sent by them to bring goods to the central kingdom had been robbed on the city's borders king and Duchy of Bojong Sewu.
It has been repeatedly the soldiers of Sri Kemuning kingdom assisted by soldiers from Paku Bumi trying to eradicate these robbers. But their efforts can always be broken by the robbers. In fact, not a few of the soldiers who recklessly entered the teak valley forest ended with death. And no one who has entered the forest will come out with a still-living body. All were killed in a horrible way.
Once, about five hundred soldiers led directly by a royal courtier who had a high rank desperately attacked the forest area of the valley so this. But what happened, it all ended tragically.
None of them returned safely to the kingdom.
"I was very stuck with this very troubling group of robbers. Are there none of you I can hope for, huh? Am I the one who must intervene to eradicate the band of robbers?" King Jaya Pradana who looked very angry.
Why is a powerful kingdom and has almost fifty thousand troops must be overwhelmed by a band of robbers whose number is not half even a quarter of the number of duchy soldiers.
"Ambun Gusti Prabu Jaya Pradana. These are highly trained robbers. They really understand the intricacies of the army. Everything we do can be read by them. That was not to mention the teak valley area that was filled with traps. Wrong step, must be life lost." Raka Pati said while worshipping respect.
"Hahah! I don't need a reason. Now I'm gonna have a contest. Whoever is able to cut off the chief of the robbers, I will reward a thousand gold Ringgit pieces!" The King of Jaya Pradana.
"Although Gusti Prabu. These robbers are very visible and very slippery. To date, we do not know who their chairman is. Although the investigation has been done repeatedly."
"Satan padar right you guys are. There's nothing you can do. If this is the case, how do I carry my authority in the eyes of the Ministerialists? How will the people fear me? A large kingdom led by the great King must be clubbed against a gang of robbers," maki Jaya Pradana who looks increasingly windy.
"Raka Pati! I don't wanna know. Right now I want you to be ready. Gather more than a thousand soldiers to collect tribute from the duchy of Bening times. Forced Duke Banawa to raise taxes a quarter of the net produce. The dissident, immediately the law of trance is no exception!"
"Sendiko Gusti Prabu! Order Your Highness servant." Raka Patih. He then inched backwards and after almost reaching the door, then he got up and turned around to step out of this grand hall.
Dozens of cloth-masked oranq dressed in all black on their behalf with the nickname of the Teak Valley Robber appeared to give each other a sign of various positions.
It was seen that someone was squeezing themselves between the large wooden branches. Some lay behind the thickets and some prepared with arrows ready to be released from the bow.
The three people in black clothes who were sitting between the branches of the big tree seemed to signal that all those at the bottom would not make this attack because he witnessed that there were currently around one thousand and five hundreds of men walked in two groups while escorting several loaded oxcars.
The load pulled by the ox cart was of various types.
Starting from food, silk cloth, gold and so forth.
One of the three men dressed in black seemed to direct his palm towards the dozens of people hiding in the thickets of the bush as a sign that they should not make an attack before getting an order.
Located about a drink of tea, one of the black-clothed people on top of it darted down then with a beautiful and light movement, his foot pegged the tip of the leaf and then salted a few times and landed sweetly in front of one who seemed to be the leader of the people armed with arrows.
"How is Dinda Wiguna?" A man asked the man who had just come down from the shady tree.
"It's crazy Kakang. They this time actually sent a large army to escort the tributary troupe from the Duchy clear times." The man named Wiguna replied.
"Is that right?"
"real kakang. They numbered nearly one thousand and five hundred people. If we are determined to attack the group, of course we will only take lives," said Wiguna.
For a moment the atmosphere became silent. Then shortly thereafter, the man called Arya Prana sounded the sign and immediately darted into the forest of this teak valley while followed by others.
For a moment now the area where they were staking out the tributary group from the clear-cut duchy was deserted without anyone staying.
"Giguna. You call Rangga, Paki, Arya Permadi to face. We must negotiate all this with Gusti Empress Galuh Cendana. Maybe he has a suggestion for us" said Arya Prana.
"Both Kakang. I'll see them soon" Wiguna said as he slipped behind the thickets and soon met with Rangga and the others.
After delivering a message from Senopati Arya Prana, the four men dressed in all black like a ninja immediately followed Wiguna to meet and discuss the next step with their chairman, Senopati Arya Prana.
