Bamboo forest border of Gedangan duchy.

"Stop!!!"
There was a scream from Senopati Arya Prana after getting an order from the Commander-in-Chief of the army to immediately rest on the outskirts of this bamboo forest.
The soldiers who had travelled all night now each walked towards the hundreds of ox carts and took out their own tents for where they rested after traveling all night long.
When the soldiers were busy putting up tents, Prince Indra Mahesa, Senopati Arya Prana, Panglima Rangga, Tumenggung Paki, Panglima Pratisara, Bayu Gatra, Andini and Gayatri are discussing a task that will be carried out by several people in accordance with what they planned yesterday.
"Listen to all of you! I have a special assignment that I will give to some of my confidants. You will get each task that must be executed according to orders. You can refuse if you can't do my job, and I'll turn this job over to someone else."
"Since yesterday, as you know, Larkin has set out to spy on enemy forces. I suspect this Larkin. I am also not so sure that the five brothers from Banten will succeed in trailing this Larkin. Because previously they had no experience in terms of password view. Therefore, I will assign to Commander Pratisara to set out in search of Larkin's trail. Are you capable of commanding?" Prince Indra Mahesa.
"Hamba obeys Gusti's word!" Replied Commander Pratisara while jutting.
"Good!"
"For the second, I ordered Tumenggung Paksi to deliver a letter from me to Gusti Prabu Kerta Rajasa in the king's city. Tell him that I need at least ten thousand troops from Garingging kingdom. Tell him that this war is not the sole responsibility of Galuh's kingdom. This is because, when the kingdom of Galuh collapsed, then the next target is the kingdom of Garingging,"
"Hamba is ready to carry out the task of Gusti!" Reply Tumenggung Paksi while menjura.
"Good!"
"We're both ready to do our job!" Answer Bayu Gatra and Andini simultaneously.
"Come up this morning. Hope we get help in time!" Prince Indra said, handing over a letter from deer skin to Bayu Gatra and Andini.
"We beg of you, Gusti Manggala Yuda!" They said in unison then immediately approached their horses and drove their horses in the opposite direction.
"Call Sadewa here!" Prince Indra Mahesa's Order.
"Hamba here Gusti!"
"Sadeva. Lead a hundred horsemen! Take them back to the king's city! The safety of the king's city is in your hands. Notice the rest of the soldiers who survived with Pratisara in the king's city. If there's any suspicious behavior, you can act immediately without my consent. If what I'm worried about is true, then the rest of the survivors were indeed deliberately left to mess around in the king's city,"
"Hamba is leaving right now Gusti?!"
"Replace immediately!"
"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Prince!"
After choosing a hundred horsemen who he believed were able and efficient, Sadewa immediately set out for the king's city by leaving the army led by Prince Indra Mahesa.
The dust of the horse's legs billowed high from the traces of their horse's foot when prince Indra Mahesa looked towards the departure of his emissaries. Only then did he enter the large tent that had just been erected by the soldiers while accompanied by Commander Rangga and Senopati Arya Prana.
