Panji walked in his step.

They then entered a room that was Colonel Jho van Phierzoon's office.

The man who was still wearing the special uniform stopped and turned around, facing Panji who had also stopped his steps.

They looked at each other with a distance limited by a desk filled with files and papers full of writing.

Colonel Jho van Phierzoon sighed, then began the conversation.

'' My move was postponed.

Suddenly, I was ordered to lead the troops on an assault mission to the village of Arkha, Colonel Jho Van Phierzoon said in a serious speech.

Scrunching banner. He doesn't understand. Why did her in-laws tell her about her work ?

Arkha Village ? Wait, why does that sound familiar to her ears ? Panji tries to pry his head.

Yes, indeed he had heard about Arkha village several times. If not wrong, the village is located at the end of the island of JawaDwipa. And it is known as the place where the companies exiled Indigenous criminals. Then why would the company intend to attack a place that even never once its inhabitants out of the place ?

Colonel Jho Van Phierzoon noticed the look on Panji's face. He seemed to be able to understand what the son-in-law had in mind.

So he again voiced, explaining what was the reason the company decided to attack the isolated village.

About three cases of murderers all of whose victims were Dutch. Until now, the investigators assigned to find out who did not get results. There is hardly any evidence that can be used as a clue.

Starting from the death of Professor Herlad who was allegedly killed by his personal lackey and two teenage boys who were the children of officials in the Batavian government who were found dead in a mutilated state . It's almost a full moon and they don't know who else caught the culprit.

But the death of Panji's parents is at an unnatural value, making investigators who have run out of sense decided to use the way is not based on logic theory.

After relating the case to each other, they finally came to a conclusion. If all the murderers were meant by the massacre that befell the late Duke, his wife and all his servants, it would not be a thing that ordinary men could do.

No witnesses, no trace, and no evidence whatsoever . They consider what happened to the late Indigenous leader to be similar to the previous three murders.

At first, he refused to believe. But in order to reduce the panic of the people in Batavia, the companies who had no other choice then decided. If the one responsible for all the assassins was a Native suspected of plotting a rebellion.

The decision is based on the results of an investigation conducted by the investigating officer. Because it can not attack in real, then the Indigenous in question allegedly using an invisible way. Alias rely on things beyond human reason, something that is actually still difficult to accept logic by the thinking of the Company.

'' They (the higher-ups of Company ) have carried out investigations and examined places suspected of shamanic practices. They arrested those who were suspected of being shamans or anyone connected with it Colonel Jho van Phierzoon turned around, riding the Panji.

He is seen opening a black box that is on the nightstand and removing something from it. He then turned the body and thrust what he had just removed from the secret document storage on the Panji.

'' That was the report I received yesterday ''

The banner looked at the paper in his hand. He seemed so serious about reading every letter of the black inked text . Luckily, he went to school and learned a lot of Dutch writing and language. So it was not difficult for him to understand what was written on both papers.

Two days ago, there were two merchant ships that sailed without reporting. One left the harbor in the middle of the night, and the other in the morning blind.

According to reports from officers patrolling the port, these two ships were moving in the same direction. And after contact with the port at some point 'none of the two ships were seen . That meant the two ships did not travel for trade. And there is only one place that is the greatest possibility as their destination. Arkha Village.

Although it is not yet known who they are, it is believed they definitely have a certain purpose .

Then, on the report, the Company's higher-ups became increasingly convinced of the plan of rebellion . And all that suspicion leads to Arkha Village. They think it's a rebel base.

And an assault order was issued. Colonel Jho Van Phierzoon was appointed to go and lead the attackers of Arkha Village by carrying heavily armed soldiers and heavy equipment to fight . They were given permission to attack with full force to destroy the village.

Panji sighed. Why did the Company come to do something like this just because of an almost unwarranted suspicion ? What is so afraid of these colonizers losing their colonies and being defeated by their original owners ?

'' I know about the rebellion plan that your late father had planned.

And the connection with this conversation is, one of the ships that sailed to Arkha village was a ship that had a relationship with your late father.

The ship had previously gone there and returned to port without reporting. And it was disguised by your late father ''

'' ... ''

'' Since this assault operation is under my leadership and my responsibility, then I must find out what your father really did by sending a ship there .

On the orders of your late father, the ship went to Arkha village to take a man and a woman out of Batavia and left them there ''

Then, he went back on.

'' Listen carefully, Panji. Because what I'm saying is only you and I know.

The man turned out ... was the lackey who had killed professor Herlad. The female is Mayang. He's your brother, isn't he ? ''

Panji heard it. How can Mayang now be there and with Dimas who turns out to be a killer ? And again how far does this father-in-law know the secret of his late father ?

Even about Mayang who he himself just knew, the in-laws also knew.

Panji is speechless. He was confused because there were too many things waiting for him to think about.

'' Now my men are preparing at the port .Tonight we will also travel to the village of Arkha .

As your late father once asked me. If possible, he'll take your sister away and hide her.

I have agreed and promised to your father. So I will try my best and best. But, in this situation, I'm not sure if I can keep my promise or not.

If I fail, I hope you will replace your late father to understand my position.

Because after all , my family is the main one .

I can't die for your sister ''

Panji was silent for quite a while.

Until finally he left without saying anything else.

Not long after, the roar of the car engine sounded loud, indicating the four-wheeled vehicle had entered the front yard of the house.

Regas Colonel Jhon Van Pierzoon who never changed clothes out accompanied by his wife and two sons. Then Panji and Mina.

'' As long as I leave, I leave them to you.

Keep them on until I get back. And if anything happens to me, then you have to replace me to protect them Colonel Jhon Van Pierzoon told Panji, sobbing his wife.

Panji nodded firmly as proof that he would do as his father-in-law asked.

The atmosphere accompanied the departure of Colonel Jhon van Pierzoon . It is always like this that happens, when a servant is about to leave to fulfill a task .Abandoned families will surely usher in the roar of tears.

Because nothing is certain, whether good luck will take sides and bring him back home or vice versa. Go intact, go home not necessarily still alive body.

After entering and sitting in the passenger seat, the car that would take him to the port was sliding , leaving his residence.

The man who will soon retire from his term was seen to close his eyes many times. He is hoping that the last mission at the end of his career as a servant of his nation can run smoothly and he can return to his family.

He remembered the time he called his boss last afternoon which turned out to be to give him a special task. And if he succeeds in carrying out the task, then his status will be raised and he will be given an honorary title and considered an exemplary servant.

Thus he does not need to worry about anything else that automatically no one will dare to look at his family one eye. Especially to Mina, the princess who was of mixed blood.

In addition, regarding the transfer of duties to the south - Colonel Jhon van Pierzoon has been prepared as the head of the troops there .

A better future awaits him.

Colonel Jhon Van Pierzoon opened his eyes, looking straight ahead with a resolute look of eyes that exuded vigor.

The car had entered the port area and stopped in front of a Company warship.

Colonel Jhon Van Pierzoon came out and was immediately greeted by a line of soldiers who would leave with him.

The Colonel nodded . Like a leader he walks with firm steps and the look on his face shows the authority of a leader .As if giving confidence

for the troops that their mission will succeed and they will all return safely.

' Tap ' A pair of black boots paused in parallel in front of a heavy weapon that could destroy anything.

The Colonel stared fixedly at the armored vehicle with a long, rotating barrel shot.

It was hard to believe, the company officials had to deploy and use this weapon just to destroy a village that never even showed its existence.
