Galuh Kingdom

In a village located in the Duchy of Gedangan led by the half-brother of Gusti Prabu Rakai Galuh named Rakai the sky looks about two thousand young men from various villages and also from several other duchies he is currently doing training.

The focus of this exercise is led directly by a Senopati Wijaya kamasraya who is famous for having power and has been credited with training many prospective soldiers who will be applied to the core troops for the defense of the kingdom especially guarding borderline.

Later in these two thousand soldiers, will be screened again to become the core troops. After that, they would be filtered again according to their respective abilities for one very secret task.

As a result, out of these two thousand youths, it had been refined into a core army of a thousand people. Of these thousand people were filtered again to five hundred and of these five hundred did strain again until there were only fifty people left.

Fifty of the best soldiers will be on duty. One of them being Purwacaraka, squad commander, and so on.

It seems, the plan that has been discussed by Gusti Prabu Rakai Galuh along with the Mahapatih Mahesa Galuh really implemented very seriously. This was because the troops led by the Wakalpa and Crow Ireng had repeatedly interfered with the border with the kingdom of Setra Kencana. And this is very dangerous for the kingdom of Galuh. If the kingdom of Setra kencana collapsed, then there is no more border for the kingdom of Sri Kemuning led by Jaya Pradana to attack the border of the Kingdom of Galuh.

Seven years have passed since the collapse of the kingdom of Sri Kemuning, Jaya Pradana greedy and power-hungry it continues to undermine the kingdom of Setra Kencana. In fact they had managed to capture three Duchies on the border between Setra Kencana and Sri Kemuning.

This is a very serious concern for Gusti Prabu Rakai Galuh.

Armed with the spirit of love of the homeland from the invasion of the invaders, young people throughout the kingdom of Galuh came in droves to voluntarily register as prospective soldiers.

Although their numbers are not as large as the troops from Sri Kemuning and Paku Bumi, but at least they are strong enough to be destroyed like the kingdom of Setra Kencana which has now gathered all their troops at the border so as not to be captured again by Jaya Pradana.

"Dinda Rakai sky. What about the development of military training in the Duchy of Gedangan?" Patih Mahesa Galuh asked his half-brother.

Gusti Prabu Rakai Galuh's father had a wife and several concubines. Of these concubines, several children were born who led each duchy. One of them is the sky.

"Kakang Mahesa Galuh. Everything is going according to plan. The soldiers have now undergone a screening phase after several years of training. It is estimated, they will soon be absorbed into the core troops in the king's city and will begin to serve under the orders of His Majesty Gusti Prabu Rakai Galuh. After that, we will also return to look for new seeds to be trained again as a reserve soldier," answered Gusti Adipati Rakai sky.

"Hmmm. We have to move quickly to fill the void of this training center after they will all get away and get the task. For the moment things are really chaotic. Sooner or later, the troops led by Wikalpa and Crow Ireng will arrive here. If we do not prepare, then the kingdom of Galuh will be the same fate as Setra Kencana" said Mahapatih Mahesa Galuh.

"True kanda Patih. During these seven years, the kingdom of Setra Kencana had lost most of its territory. There were three large duchies that were captured by Jaya Pradana. What I'm worried about, if the royal city falls, then there's nothing left for them to defend. In this way, our next target is our kingdom,"

"I am very concerned about the situation that befell the kingdom of Setra kencana. But how else?! We can't help them. We are currently short of resources. The trade routes that we used to go through were controlled by the people of Jaya Pradana. They quoted a very high tax from the merchant. This makes our kingdom's economy decline from year to year" said the Patih.

"Indeed, things got tough for us. Every day in these seven years, the whole kingdom felt fear that the city of the king of Setra might be destroyed by the forces of Jaya Pradana."

"Prepare our soldiers as mature as possible. We cannot ask anyone for help to help us. Let not our fate be the same as the fate of the kingdom of Sri Kemuning led by Ananda Jaya Wardana and the kingdom of Setra Kencana!" Tandas the Patih.

"Sendiko dawuh Kakang Patih," replied Duke Rakai sky.

After finishing reviewing the soldiers who are currently training, Gusti Patih Mahesa Galuh asked to immediately return to the king's city to report the developments to Gusti Prabu Rakai Galuh.

Accompanied by a thousand horsemen, Mahapatih Mahesa Galuh was immediately set off with the eyes of the Duke of Rakai sky until the group disappeared behind the bend of the road.

"Come everyone! You must exercise with spirit. Later, the integrity of Galuh's kingdom is on your shoulders. Sharpen your swords, your spear points, and prepare your children and bow arrows. It is all for the sake of Religion, Nation and State. It's better to die in the dirt, than to live in the colon,"

The words of the Duke of Rakai Langit then burned the spirit of the prospective soldiers so that they are now ready to return to training.

There are those who practice archery, spearmanship, and some who practice battle with swords and spears made of wood.
