Storms On Mount Ciremai

Preparation

Ki Bondan continued the talk about the preparation that will be done, "Wiratama, the father will soon help you to prepare everything, but before that, Romo will tell in advance about the number of members who are here and their activities so far".

"The total number that can be recruited to become a whole army of almost a thousand people, currently they are scattered in all directions, which you need to pay attention to, to form an army is a large material cost, which is very expensive, but don't worry, the father will prepare everything, frankly all this time the activities of the father and the members who are here have left robbery or looting, all efforts are not good, all efforts are not good, we have buried our dark past.

"Their activities now, in Kotaraja Romo has a freight forwarding expedition business, in the port of Tanjung gold there is also a romo business there, we make trade exchanges with entrepreneurs from the island of Andalas, Andalas, the island of Borneo and the other islands, while those in Alas Roban are more plantation products to supply our own needs, so you should not be afraid to run out of material support for this struggle".

The next day the plans were carried out in a gradual way, the atmosphere of Alas Roban began to change, more crowded than usual and seemed to start busy with activities of the army, Wiratama himself who oversees all activities, and did not hesitate to let down the sciences of canuragannya. All Ki Bondan men carry out the exercises with enthusiasm, because they feel that the glory of Alas Roban will return like the times they became feared begal, the would-be teleik ciphers, and the, they are trained in theory, they are trained by Wiratama to infiltrate in real, they practice while given the task to collect information about the existence of Wiratama's wife and children, Wiratama, gather all the information about Raden Arya and his closest people and read the strength of the forces protecting their families. All the important information by Wiratama is meticulous and studied.

For the special forces, Ki Bondan and Wiratama trained him hard, not knowing the time, both when it was raining and hot, they kept training.sometimes they joined the 100-sword Army, to practice battle formations, what they were immersed in was a lightning war strategy, attacking the enemy abruptly to the weakest point. Riding troops were no less training, they were trained while riding horses were required to shoot targets precisely and quickly, while for short-range battles they learned to use the spear from the horse. Sometimes they train in the dark of the night, Wiratama prepares carefully the deadline he sets for the troops to be ready for a year.
