Prince Without Crown
The defeat of Setra Kencana

The war had just been going on around the rice. But, the army led by Raka Pati was very desperate and there were signs of defeat.

Not wanting to experience the loss of many soldiers, Raka Pati immediately ordered the soldiers he led to immediately retreat backwards.

Once ordered, the soldiers immediately make a line and then defend while continuing to retreat.

The further they went, the more eager the troops from Setra Kencana kingdom to continue to urge. Until in the end, the troops led by Raka Pati actually escaped the ridge leaving the battlefield.

"Pursue them!"

"Let's not let anyone escape!"

"Combat all! Don't let them go back to Sri Kemuning!"

They now continue to pursue the army that has been in disarray until the outskirts of the forest and then turn around with a defiant attitude.

"What does this mean?" Ask King Setra kencana to his warlord.

"Hamba also came in yet to understand Gusti."

"Don't you..?!"

Not to mention when King Setra Kencana finished his sentence, now from the direction of the bushes seemed thousands of arrows shot from the left and right side of the road they passed.

Instantly the place that looked calm earlier turned into a rain of arrows at the follow-up with a cry of pain welcome each other from the royal army of Setra Kencana.

"It's booby-trapped. Retreat all! The munduuuuur!!!" Shouted the king of Setra Kencana so knowing that it turns out the troops led by Raka Pati just pretended to lose and fled just to lure them to pursue. When they chase, then they have entered into a trap set by Jaya Pradana.

Hearing the orders of Prabu Setra Kencana made their ranks start to messy and not necessarily direction.

The soldiers who tried to escape started to run into each other between them. And in that chaotic state, suddenly the troops led by Raka Pati had turned around to attack them with the troops led by Crow Ireng and Wikalpa starting to come out from their hiding.

Now that place is exactly a slaughtering ground.

Gusti Prabu Setra cried out to order them not to be in the fog. But too late, those who fled fled fled. The survivors were destroyed in attack from all sides.

Bodies are now beginning to scatter all over the place. Only a few people remained alive while continuing to maintain the safety of their lord.

"Protect Gusti Prabu with our lives!" They said they screamed and continued to fight.

"Wikalpas! Tell your troops to retreat and let the archers finish off the remnants of Setra's men!" Raka Pati ordered.

"Put you all down! Form a circular position and don't let anyone escape!"

Hearing this order from their superiors, the trained soldiers also moved backwards while forming a circle with their shields in front exactly like a steel wall that would not be easily broken through by the rest of the Setra Kencana royal army.

"Farmer!" Shouted Crow Ireng.

"Ready!"

"Ready!"

"Ready!"

There was an echoing cry from the archer soldiers who were ready with their arrows.

Thousands of arrows were now roaring toward one destination, the rest of the Setra Kencana royal army.

One by one the rest of the soldiers fell down so that there was no. The remaining ones included the fallen King Setra Kencana with dozens of arrows piercing his body.

The murder of King Setra made the kingdom collapse completely in the hands of the kingdom of Paku Bumi.

*********

"That's how Gusti Prabu is!" Sadewa said after he finished describing the course of the war that resulted in the collapse of the kingdom of Setra Kencana.

Gusti Prabu Rakai Galuh and Mahapatih Mahesa Galuh looked down on the floor layered with red carpet.

In their minds at this time they are certainly thinking about the fate that will befall the kingdom of Galuh after the collapse of the power of king Setra Kencana in the hands of the army of Paku Bumi.

"Kanda Prabu!"

"Kanda Prabu!!!" Call Mahapatih Mahesa Galuh.

"Well?!"

Gusti Prabu Rakai Galuh looked a little surprised because he was too long to reflect.

"I'm thinking how about the fate of our kingdom right now. Now Galuh's kingdom is really like an egg on the tip of a horn. I am sure that Jaya Pradana and his bloodthirsty troops will not stop at the kingdom of Setra Kencana. They'll definitely cross into Galuh's kingdom." Gusti Prabu Rakai Galuh expressed his concerns.

"Sadeva, where did your best friend go?" Mahapatih Mahesa Galuh.

"Nor Gusti Mahapatih. The servant friend is currently reporting all that happened to Gusti Adipati Rakai sky in the Duchy of Gedangan." Sadewa answered the cipher.

Just now Mahapatih Mahesa Galuh was about to open his voice, from the front appeared a soldier of the guard bowed respectfully approaching the sema regal hall.

"What's the Warrior?" Ask Mahapatih.

"Nor Gusti Mahapatih. Outside there were about a thousand soldiers from Setra who survived and fled to the kingdom of Galuh. They were led by a commander named Raden Danu," the soldier told Reuters.

"Take the escape to the house in front of Istal. Give them food, drink and clean clothes. Let them rest and say that tomorrow their leader should be in the Paseban room because there will be a meeting to discuss this issue" orders from Mahapatih Mahesa Galuh.

(Ital means Horse stall)

"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Mahapatih." The soldier said then took a few steps back before turning his body away from the grand hall.

"Dinda Mahesa Galuh's. Send the soldiers throughout the duchy in the kingdom of Galuh to attend the great meeting two days from now. I will immediately make the decision to prepare everything to stem the flow of troops from Jaya Pradana's illegitimate son. Don't forget to send some people to the teak valley telling my daughter to keep the teak valley from becoming a path for the Earth Nail Warrior to attack us from behind!" Gusti Prabu Rakai Galuh orders to Mahapatih Mahesa Galuh.

"Sendiko dawuh Kanda Gusti Prabu's. Your Majesty will do it" said Mahapatih Mahesa Galuh.

"Sadeva! You immediately leave for Karang Kencana duchy. Tell that Gusti Prabu ordered the King to come to the king's city immediately. The reason you know for yourself isn't it?"

"Hamba is ready to carry out the duties of Gusti Mahapatih" said Sadewa, clenching his hands in front of his forehead.

"Let go now! You'll be at least midnight. Go to Astal and choose the best horse as your mount!"

"Hamba said goodbye to Gusti," the word Sadewa once again gave worship and retreated then stepped to the back of the palace building towards Istal to choose the best horse for his ride to the Karang Kencana duchy on the border of Setra Kencana Kingdom it's collapsed.
