Prince Without Crown
The supreme commander of Galuh kingdom

"sorry Grandpa Prabu. The servant also contributed to the error in this event. If the servants had not destroyed the Duchy of Pitulung, they would not have taken this kind of retaliatory action. Servant reckon, a soldier who brought the news was deliberately not killed in order to bring news to the king's city. They've planned all this. They are not small food. Hence they let one of the five soldiers that Grandpa Prabu sent back alive to the king's city" Prince Indra Mahesa said.

"Everything's happened. You destroyed the Duchy of Pitulung it was also a good contribution to the kingdom of Galuh. At least we are not just resigned to waiting for an attack from them. Such a fight is also necessary. They have never felt defeat. Indeed, there must be someone who can disturb them so that they know that we still have sharp nails," said Prabu Rakai Galuh not too willing to question the actions of Prince Indra Mahesa.

"That's not much. It is far from victory. Servants will repay their cunning, Grandpa Prabu," Prince Indra Mahesa said.

"What are your plans, my grandson?!" Ask the Prabu.

"How many soldiers do we have?" Prince Indra Mahesa.

"Right now all the soldiers we have are not twenty thousand. Everything is divided into three coriander. The first cilantro was in the duchy of Gedangan to establish a fortress. The second cistern is in this king's city. While the third coriander is still on the kingpin in the Duchy of Gedangan," replied the Prabu.

"Sir Grandpa Prabu. Servants want the soldiers who are in this kingpin divided into two coriander again. One coriander must work to collect as much firewood. It should even be a lot. While the rest are drawn to the king's city," said Prince Indra Mahesa.

At this moment he remembered the entire trap in the teak valley cliff passage. It was the main capital for him to avenge the cunning of Jaya Pradana later.

"Why is that, my granddaughter? Do you have a strategy? If there is, please stretch it here!" Prabu Rakai Galuh.

"Also Grandpa Prabu. The servant will not reveal the strategy that the servant has. The most important thing is, all must obey and obey the servant. The key is to obey every command from the commander-in-chief. Here, I will be the commander-in-chief of the Galuh kingdom army. For those who disobey, then.., behead!" Prince Indra Mahesa said as he stood up and held a yellowing muffled keris that was in the grasp of his left hand.

"Hamba will obey any order from Crown Prince Indra Mahesa!" Said Commander Pratisara who felt he owed his life to Prince Indra Mahesa.

"Alright grandson. Your appointment as Commander-in-Chief of the Galuh kingdom's war forces will be done right now. Grandfather put this Galuh kingdom in your hands. If it collapses, then it's over. If we succeed, then your name will be recorded in gold ink as Manggala Yuda who managed to get rid of the biggest threat to the kingdom and the people of Galuh," Gusti Prabu Rakai Galuh said then said.., "prepare the coronation ceremony of Crown Prince Indra Mahesa as the supreme commander in the kingdom of Galuh!"

"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Prabu!" They said simultaneously.

After the inauguration ceremony was completed, Gusti Prabu Rakai Galuh now opened a chest made of beautifully carved wood with a golden key.

After the chest was opened, now the King took out a sword with beads of precious stones embedded in the sword sheath.

In the handle, there is a symbol of the head of an eagle with eyes made of pomegranate red stone.

The sword is a sword commonly used by previous kings in the kingdom of Galuh. With the sword, absolute orders can be issued to set strategy in warfare. Ordered an attack, or ordered a retreat for an army.

With trembling hands, Prince Indra Mahesa received the sword while kneeling.

After the sword was in both of his palms, he slowly got up and drew the sword.

Prince Indra Mahesa stood like a rock with a drawn sword pointing to the ceiling of the Paseban hall.

The entire rakrian who was in that place suddenly clenched his hands upwards while shouting.

"Long live the commander-in-chief of Galuh's royal war forces!"

"Long live Gusti Manggala Yuda!"

"Life Gusti Prince Indra Mahesa!"

"Listen to all the soldiers of Galuh kingdom. I, Manggala Yuda Indra Mahesa expect loyalty, willingness, patience and fortitude from all of you in the face of any obstacles and obstacles in this struggle. I want your loyalty and do everything I tell you to. I want your willingness in any circumstances for this beloved country. I want your patience in the face of all obstacles. Because we are going to the battlefield. We leave our children and wives not for sightseeing, but for living. I want your fortitude if we are tested for the loss of this war. Be it treasure, son, father, even every one of us who died on the battlefield. Know that this is a struggle for freedom so that we do not feel constantly chased by fear. If at this time we do not want to sacrifice and feel heavy bones to take up arms for a struggle, believe all of you! Believe that someday our children, grandchildren, even great-grandchildren will experience colonized life. Taken by another kingdom. You guys have a house. But it feels like a ride. You have a homeland. Land is taxed, water is bought. You guys have the negri. But others who enjoy the fruits of the wealth of this beloved country. I swear to God that I dare say, none of you would want that to happen. Therefore, rise up! Rise up all of you! This country awaits the spill of the hero for a word of freedom. Wake up all of you! No need to be too great. Because when we carry this burden together, and when we all feel responsible for this country, then we can all reach it together. I'm not strong. Commander Rangga and Pratisara were not strong. Senopati Arya Prana, Punggung Paksi is not strong. Gusti Prabu Rakai Galuh, Gusti Prabu Kerta Rajasa is not strong. But we will be strong when we fight together. Feel the same responsibility!"

"O my soldiers! Be you as one body. Only then can we be strong. Because, when you think that you are one body, then you will be able to feel the meaning of good cooperation. When the other part is injured, the whole will feel pain. Did you hear?!" Shouted Prince Indra Mahesa.

"Listen, Gusti!"

"Listen, Gusti!"

"Listen, Gusti!"

"Good!"

"The swaddies!"

"Hamba Wrestling!"

"Send spies immediately to the Karang Kencana duchy! Watch what activities there are! After that, return to the king's city to report everything to me!"

"Wrestling Daulat!"

"Pratess!"

"Hamba Wrestling!"

"I need this map of Galuh's kingdom. Immediately send to the pendopo in kaputren!"

"Sendiko dawuh Gusti!"

"Now, prepare your camp. Pack it neatly. Everyone should bring at least two or more camps. Don't ask why. Just do!" This order from Prince Indra Mahesa was immediately welcomed by the obedience of all.

"Dissolve all of you and get ready to wait for orders!"

After that, everything now dispersed to prepare everything.

Prince Indra Mahesa immediately gave prayers to Empress Galuh Cendana, then gave prayers alternately between Prabu Rakai Galuh and Prabu Kerta Rajasa, then left the room to the pendopo in the kaputren.

Now the gaze full of admiration and pride was clearly visible from the eyes of everyone who was in the hall Paseban. What else is Princess Melur. Since then he was like fascinated to see the assertiveness contained in the prince Indra Mahesa.

This did not go unnoticed by Prabu Kerta Rajasa.

Meanwhile, prince Indra did not at all consider the presence of this spoiled Princess of Garingging kingdom. He was only focused on the task he was currently carrying.

Accompanied by Bayu Gatra, Andini and Gayatri, they now sit in a pendopo while waiting for the arrival of Pratisara who he told to bring a map of Galuh's kingdom.
