Prince Without Crown
Want to review the power of the Enemy

An uproar now struck the hidden village in the middle of this teak valley forest.

Just this morning they released the departure of Larso the messenger from the kingdom of Galuh, now in the afternoon one of Sri Kemuning's soldiers who was still loyal to the empress Galuh Cendana found one of the five soldiers who would return to the kingdom of Galuh was dying.

Fortunately, the soldier who died on the back of his horse was still able to tell that at this time the forest border with the village of Waringin has been surrounded by troops from Paku Bumi.

Indra Mahesa, the crown prince who had just reunited with his mother this time was forced to gather all the elders who were still faithful to hold a meeting to discuss the matter.

Until tonight, they began to gather in a large room in the house that has been the residence of the empress has been present all former courtiers of the kingdom of Sri Kemuning, among others, Senopati Arya Prana, among others, Panglima Rangga, Tumenggung Paksi, Wiguna, Arya Permadi.

Apart from the above mentioned names, there are also young warriors who become companions of Indra Mahesa namely, Bayu Gatra, Andini and Gayatri.

Indra Mahesa, who refused to wear the Crown, now sits in a great dress like a Prince looking very seriously at every opinion and input given by the elders who are still loyal.

"I don't know if the five soldiers Grandpa Prabu sent survived or were all killed?! Right now, all we can do is come out to spy on the opponent's power, then make an attack plan when we've got an idea of the opponent's power," prince Indra Mahesa said after listening to some opinions from the ranks of the royal courtiers who are still loyal.

"Gusti Prince. According to the servant, for now we only have no more than a thousand soldiers who are already trained. If we attack them openly, obviously we will lose. But this forest is our forest of power. So, according to the servant, there are some advantages that we have if we manage to lure the warrior from the Earth Spikes to enter the forest," Wiguna said as he bowed respectfully.

"Giguna. Do the traps we set all work well?" Senopati Arya Prana.

"Kanda Senopati's. I have checked all the traps both on the ground, and on the trees. Everything still works fine. Earlier, even I had added a few more traps in the forest area," replied Wiguna.

"Prince. In addition to having traps in the forest, the servant and the others had also been working royong making defenses on the cliff. There is the only shortcut to the kingdom of Galuh by passing through the valley and has a high cliff. If the Prince wants to trap them through that path, then we can prepare the elderly, teenage children and the entire population in this village to occupy their respective positions. We can stone them from above. When their ranks are torn apart, this will certainly make us easily attack them" Senopati Arya Prana explained.

How far is that shortcut from Waringin village?" Ask Prince Indra Mahesa just want to know.

He deliberately asked like that to calculate the mileage if forced to attract the attention of the enemy in order to chase them into the lane of the road they had fitted the trap.

"Prince too. According to Servant's estimation, the distance between the trap on the cliff and the village of Waringin was almost two miles,"

"Hmmm. It doesn't feel right. I was worried that if I drew their attention to the road under the cliff that uncle mentioned earlier, then I was worried before the soldiers could escape to the trap that had been installed, so I was worried, the enemy's arrows first pierced the bodies of our soldiers,"

"Then, Gusti? Does the Prince have any other views?" Senopati Arya Prana.

"We'd better trap them into the woods. Lure them to chase us toward the trap that has been set. In this way, it would be easier for us to bury them alive in the middle of this forest!"

"Please Uncle Senopati! Me and my three friends will come out tonight to peek at the movement and power of the enemy. No one does anything without orders from me! Does everyone understand?" Prince Indra Mahesa.

"Hamba understands my Master!" They said simultaneously.

"alright. Let's do this job!"

"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Prince!" They said they were disbanding now.

Prince Indra now moved from his seat and entered a room.

Not long after that he came out with a changed appearance.

White pants, sleeveless white shirt, yellow silk cloth and a keris appear tucked to his left. The appearance of Prince Indra Mahesa is now the same as when he just arrived yesterday.

"Who wants to come?" Prince Indra asked his three friends.

"I'm coming, Kakang!" Gayatri said she offered herself.

"I'll be with you too, Indra!" Bayu Gatra said as he stood up.

"Me too" Andini said.

"Gayatrii! Before I leave I have a message for you. Control your emotions later. Don't do anything before there's an order from me!" Prince Indra warned.

"All right brother! No need to worry. I will follow the words of Kakang!"

"Then let's go now!" Invite Prince Indra Mahesa then darted using the Science of lightening his body while being followed by three shadows that followed behind him.

Since these four young men were disciples of the top figures in the martial world, it was not difficult for them to cross the cliff tops in this teak valley.

They deliberately did not go through the exit because it was not necessary. When the science of lightening their bodies had been at the highest stage, then this cliff in the teak valley was not a big problem for them to climb it.

Seriate...
