Strength Outside The Keraton Wall

Continuous peace

At the end of the road leading to rice fields and fields, villagers working in rice fields and fields were seen sitting and squatting on the side of the road. In front of him stood the newcomers who had descended from their horses.

"Heyii you !!! Has there ever been a court warrior who came here ?" ask Prahasta the leader of the riding troupe.

"Tii.. never ndoro," replied one of the residents.

"Are there any people who live in the upper forest ?" ask again.

"A a.ada ndoro" replied the resident.

"Yesup !!!" prahasta Bentak.

"Listen ! No one ever said that we ever came here If anyone opens their mouth saying that we ever came here, watch out !!! I'll chop off his head. Understand ?" Prarasta said loudly.

"Understand ndoro.." replied the villagers simultaneously.

"good. Prono, call the others. We're leaving now" Prahasta ordered.

"Every brother" Prono replied.

A moment later there was a shrill scream three times.

A few moments later, a one-time scream was heard from the direction of the residents' houses.

"Prono, Karto, we are leaving now towards that forest," said Prahasta as his right hand pointed towards the mountain, the direction of Alas Penahun forest.

The three of them immediately crushed their horses to run fast.

Which was not long followed by his men who numbered 27 people. Who also brought the goods they had taken from the villagers. There were even some young women whom they had brought with them by force. It sounded as if they were laughing satisfied with their spoils.

--- 0 ---

Away from Paminggir Village, on the edge of Alas Penahun forest.

"Thole Lintang, let's go into the forest. Hunting all you train your archery instinct," asked Ki Penahun.

"Yes Eyang" replied Lintang Rahina.

Soon Lintang prepared all his hunting equipment. Then he went to his grandmother and immediately followed his grandfather towards the forest.

Until the afternoon, Lintang and Ki Penahun managed to get 2 large forest chickens. By dark, the two of them were home.

Just as darkness enveloped the forest, they both walked down the path leading to his hut.

But, how surprised they were both, seeing the terrace and front yard of the hut looked brightly lit. Many torches were embedded around the front yard of the gubug. In the middle of the courtyard there was a huge bonfire. Around the campfire, sitting in a semi-circle facing the terrace of about 20-30 burly adult males. They talk often accompanied by simple screams and laughter.

Full of questions, Ki Penahun and Lintang approached, and a moment later the two of them arrived in front of the horde of men.

"Grandfather..don't come near. Take your granddaughter away from here, if you two don't want to be harmed," cried Wage as he approached Ki Penahun.

"Kisanak.....Kisanak who are you guys ? Until it can be in our gubug ?" ask Ki Penahun while holding Lintang's hand.

"Who are we...not your business ! Get out of here ! " snaps Wage. Followed by the sound of laughter colleagues laughed at Ki Penahun and Lintang.

"This is our gubug. So who are you, it's our business" said Ki Penahun whose feelings began to be filled with anxiety and also suspicious of all of them.

Owhh...ho ho ho...so you are the husband and granddaughter of the old grandmother who has become the corpse ?" said Wage while pointing under one coconut tree.

"Him...!!!"

"That....!!!"

Ki Penahun and Lintang shouted while they were about to walk towards Nyai Penahun's body.

"Stop !!! Or do you want to suffer the same fate as the old woman ? Lost his life for not giving up this house ?" snapped Wage again.

"Ho ho ho...jad you don't accept your wife I killed ? You want to follow him to the god of death ? If that's what you choose, you can choose, in what way. Ask me to get your stomach out ? Or do I break your head like your wife ?" challenge Wage arrogantly.

"All of you must receive the reply !" said Ki Penahun slowly but firmly and can be heard by all the hordes that are there.

"Wage's back....haj.....!??"

"Stop brother....!??"

"Yes...."

The sound of the screams of friend Wage's friend's cry came to a halt instantly.

"Aughh.." Only that voice could come out of Wage's mouth.

I don't know when to move it, know Ki Penahun is right in front of Wage and the five fingers of his right hand have pierced his neck and gripped Wage's esophagus. Then came the sound of Wage's broken neck. Not until two breaths, Wage died with a gaping neck. Up to the loss of his life, Wage never knew what had happened to him.

"Heeiii..Who are you ? how dare you kill my men !!!" shouting Prahasta.

"Who am I, it's none of your business. To be sure, you must pay for what you have done to

my wife and our place of residence" Ki Penahun.

"Kids of children...get rid of the old grandfather and his grandchildren too !!!" prahasta's orders.

Directly, Prahasta's men who had been besieging, invaded Ki Penahun and Lintang.

Ki Penahun pulled Lintang and carried it on his back. Ki Penahun who had held back since then, immediately welcomed the invasion of Prahasta's men. With one touch of the right and left tread, Ki Penahun crushes the head or chest contents of the Prahasta men.

Not until 10 minutes, all the pre-caste men died without a chance to shout hit by Tapak Wulung a long time had never Ki Penahun eject, although silent Ki Penahun always train his movement.

"Whaahhhhh.... old man !!! you are looking to die !! dare to tease the Sword Geni," Prahasta shouted while mentioning his nickname.

"Rone, Karto. Finish off his grandfather and grandson !!! Bring his head in front of me !!!" prahasta's orders on his two right hands.

"Every brother !!" tell them both.

Immediately Prono and Karto pull out their machetes and immediately attack with a style that seems to be played in pairs.

Prono and Karto are actually a pair of warriors with cleaver silat in pairs. The two of them have been unfortunate to cross paths into warriors along the Kali Progo. But because they only seek the satisfaction of their passions, they become black warriors.

At one point, they both met with Prahasta and his men, they were fighting over victims and booty.

With his power, Prahasta can defeat Prono and Karto. Since meeting and fighting with the two, Prahasta could already see good potential, if Prahasta could attract both of them to be his right hand.

And with a lucrative promise of promise, Prono and Karto are willing to become Prahasta's right-hand man.

Back to the battle.

During the thought of five attack modes, Ki Penahun only avoided judging and studying Prono and Karto's attacks.

After feeling enough to learn it, Ki Penahun set the words to both of them.

"This kind of knowledge dares to disturb Alas Penahun," said Ki Penahun as his hands opened to the left and right sides.

In an instant, Ki Penahun's two hands were already gripping Prono and Parto's neck. And without even dodging and shouting, their necks were torn and broken. Prono and Karto were killed instantly only had time to remove five of the judges.

The pre-caste saw that.

"Now it's your turn !!!" ki Penahun.
