Mis Tegel 16: Commander Falling Comfort

*Dark Egg Mystery (Tegel's Wife)*

 

No no no no …!

The sound of the clash of two sticks had already become the main rhythm in the fight on the arena stage.

The fight that took place was between Degan Carik of the White Stick College against the more senior Gumbara, a disciple of the Wretched Stick Beggar.

Although there is a difference in age, but from the beginning until now, the fight lasted quite a draw.

“Gumbara! Why haven't you played the style of the Disaster Flood Stick? I bet a lot on you!” shouted an audience who apparently knew a lot about the figure of Gumbara.

Gumbara had just fended off Degan Carik's white rattan swipe, so glanced at the screaming audience, who was the son of a duchy official. The young man's cry turned out to disturb Gumbara's hearing.

“Take it out, Gumbara! Then you'll lose!” shouts Degan Carik who actually heated Gumbara.

“Shut up!” snapped Gumbara while forward flailing both ends of his stick alternately attacking Degan Carik.

No no no no!

Sturdy Degan Tarik fending off the aggression of his opponent's stick with the stick anyway.

Wuuout!

Degan Carik retaliates with a twisting stick that targets Gumbara. Gumbara dodges by bending over as he turns his wand to the opponent's foot. However, Degan Carik remained agile by avoiding a pair of her legs rising into the air.

Buk up! Bdak!

When Degan Carik fell off the footing, Gumbara quickly took the opportunity to slam his shoulder into Degan Carik's front body, pushing the young man thrown into a crouch on the edge of the arena.

“Yeee!” shouted the audience who turned out to be a lot of care for Gumbara.

Gumbara quickly continued his attack without pause. However, this time he came attacking with two legs so hard, while the stick he positioned behind.

Degan Carik who fell hurriedly got up and focused on Gumbara's foot attack. As a result, he moved in the urgency of avoiding Gumbara's kick.

Gee!

“Hukh!” lamented Degan Carik, when Gumbara's wand that escaped his vigilance came so fast hit his left stomach, as he avoided the opponent's kick.

Degan Carik's body was thrown and fell curled up in the middle of the rapidly spreading audience, letting the young man fall on the mud-watering ground.

“Well! Like that, Gumbara! I'm menaaang!” shouted the young son of the duchy official who bet for Gumbara's victory.

Laughing, the son of the official then seized the pockets of money some of his friends he had been betting on.

“I win, I win!” shouted another bettor happily.

“Carcass! Tomorrow-tomorrow I won't bet on the White Stick College student!” sorry about the other bettors.

“Lapse of my money,” lamented another sad bettor.

“Money to make my marriage run out,” said another young man.

A man dressed in fine black with his left hand carrying an umbrella, flashed in the air and landed in the middle of the arena. The person named Agung Rupo immediately shouted.

“The winner is Gumbara, the disciple of the Wand Beggar!” agung Rupo shouted while pointing at Gumbara then pointed at someone at the top of the stands.

“Hiaaah! Hahaha!” gumbara Jumawa shouted while raising his cane high.

While at the top of the podium, an old swordsman in beggar-style and stick style, stood up while waving his right hand. His smile bloomed so wide to the spectators who clapped their hands in excitement.

“Great Wretched Stick Beggar! Wretched Stick Beggar is great!” people repeatedly shouted at the teacher.

Seen three other stick warriors who were sitting one row of chairs with the Wretched Stick Beggar, showing a sinister glance and an understated smile.

In the event of this Stick Champion Match, the teacher of the winner of each duel fight is always highlighted and hailed by the audience.

In addition to the students of the four teachers, other stick warriors could take part in the competition. The baton match participants were already registered and today was the fourth day of the conpetition.

“By the warriors, the spectators of the citizens of the Duchy of Garuput, the next match will be slightly postponed, but it will not be long, therefore do not go anywhere!” yell Agung Rupo.

The announcement immediately made the audience and the participants so look at each other and wonder.

“Thenaang, tenaaang! A terrible fight will soon be held as entertainment, so don't go anywhere!” yell Agung Rupo.

By then, the rain had subsided, leaving only a very fine drizzle.

On the top of the stands there was movement.

The commander of the Duchy Security Forces named Gegap Rawu moved down the steps of the tribune. Upon arrival at the muddy ground, two rows of soldiers immediately moved and fused behind him as bodyguards.

Duke Dodo Ladoyo and the figures above the stands continued to look at the movements of Commander Gegap Rawu and his army of twenty soldiers.

The warriors and citizens also focused their attention on the movements of the Duchy's Security Forces.

Apparently, Gegap Rawu and his team headed to the diner where Alma Fatara and his entourage were dining.

“There are duchy troops coming,” Cucum Mili told Alma while looking out.

Alma Fatara glanced for a moment, then returned to bribing.

“Perhaps anyone wants the Black Ball,” Alma said calmly.

Rawu's gasps and six soldiers enter the tavern. The other soldiers were waiting outside.

The arrival of the commander and his soldiers clearly attracted the attention of Mbah Hitam and the others. The servants did not come to greet Gegap Rawu, because they knew that the soldiers did not come to eat.

“Who is your leader?” asked Gegap Rawu somewhat snapped.

“Lack of courtesy!” snarled Cucum Mili hard.

“Lack of courtesy!” snapped Iwak Ngasin et al with a tone no less loud than Cucum Mili.

The impact turned out to make Gegap Rawu and his men retreated to action in surprise.

“Hahahak!” alma's laughter alone, showing her toothless tooth.

“How dare you ask in front of Gusti Ratu without introducing yourself who are you and sent by whom?!” snapped Cucum Mili with a pair of eyes glaring at Gegap Rawu.

Increasingly widened the circumference of the eyes of Gegap Rawu heard there was “Gusti Ratu” called. Instantly he also felt his position would be damaged.

“E. Servant is the Commander of the Duchy Security Forces. Name of servant Gegap Rawu,” said Gegap Rawu whose mentality has fallen into a loser. The color of his face showed fear.

“Who sent you?! Ask to come face to face Gusti Queen. If Gusti Ratu is coming, don't think to be able to see the rain fall again!” cucum Mili's snapping was really fierce.

“Hamba ... servant sent Gusti Adipati,” Gegap Rawu replied stuttered and his voice trembled.

“Go there!” the Cucum Mili.

“Ba-well, Wrestling Queen!” said Gegap Rawu while hastily menjura respect. He then walked backwards in a position to remain respectful, which was followed by the six soldiers of his men who behaved the same.

Gegap Commander Rawu was forced to return to the square with the same formation when he left. That made Duke Dodo Ladoyo frown, as did the stick teachers.

“Hahahak ..!” the Laughter of Alma Fatara and her colleagues.

“How dare to be rude to the future queen of Singayam Kingdom!” grute Cucum Mili.

“Who is the future queen of Singayam Kingdom that Sister Princess means?” ask Alma.

“I.”

“Hahaha!” alma Fatara's Laughter again. (BH)
