Strength Outside The Keraton Wall

Plans to Build Strength

The meeting was planned for a long time. They are people who have aspirations or support the establishment of the Majapahit Kingdom after the retreat of the last king, Prabu Brawijaya V.

They plan to continue the Majapahit Kingdom by elevating one of the descendants of the Majapahit breed to become king and move the kingdom to the eastern part of the island of Java. Because seeing their opportunities is small, continue their ideals in the central part of the island of Java.

In order to unite forces and draw up a plan, they felt the need for a meeting. Finally they agreed to hold a meeting in the store Ki Rekso.

That is until finally it arrived at the agreed time to hold a meeting, which is right on this day.

As soon as the person who was waiting for had all come, Ki Rekso immediately started the meeting.

"Well brothers and sisters that I respect, let's discuss what plans we need to put together and what we need to prepare and do. Maybe there's a proposal from your brothers ?" ask Ki Rekso.

Everyone present looked at each other while nodding their heads. Until there came one of them who stood while saluting the others and then said

"Sorry before. My name is Rangga Kaniten. I was appointed to represent the power holders in the duchy of the eastern region."

"I have information and suggestions that might facilitate and facilitate the realization of our minds."

"At this time the Kingdom of Demak is in a state of weakness, because silence there is a dispute and power struggle between people who feel entitled as heirs to the throne between Pajang and Jipang."

"In addition there are actually many of the rulers of the eastern region who are not willing to submit to the Kingdom of Demak."

"We can invite them, equate goals and rally strength. So that in time for us to move, we have strong strength and support."

"Thus, please be taken into consideration" Rangga Kaniten concluded his proposal.

Ki Jiwo, who was quiet and rarely smiled, suddenly stood up and said, "One thing that almost everyone here should still remember. When ontran ontran 'Dalem Family Breakdown' some of us escort or even save the owner of blue blood successor Majapahit breed. According to the news I received from the 'Telik Sandi' team, Ki Penahun is suspected to also save one family of the Majapahit breed. That's what we have to make sure, whether the family is still there and Ki Penahun is on which side."

Ki Rekso stood up and said "Thank you Rangga Kaniten and Ki Jiwo for the information. Come on, who else has any advice and suggestions ?"

After waiting for some time no one added the proposal, finally Ki Brata stood up and submitted his proposal.

"How about our people, we split into three groups for three tasks," Ki Brata stopped talking for a moment while looking at the faces of everyone who was there.

They are all silent and waiting for the continuation of what will be delivered by Ki Brata.

"One group is tasked with finding and ensuring the whereabouts of the child or family saved by Ki Penahun."

"One group is in charge of meeting and making sure our character or classmate in the elite soldier first, supporting us or neutral, that's his choice. If they oppose or contradict our minds, we will finish."

"One more group is in charge of mobilizing power and began to ask for help from the ruler in each duchy that is in line with us. And asked to prepare his troops if at all times needed," Ki Brata explained.

The atmosphere of the meeting was momentarily silent. Ki Brata sits next to Ki Rekso. They both seemed to be talking while whispering.

Then Ki Rekso stood up again and again gave an explanation.

"Brothers, based on the things that have been conveyed by adi Rangga Kaniten, by Ki Jiwo and by Ki Brata, our duties can be divided as follows."

"Who met the character we targeted, done by Ki Pratanda and Ki Kawungka and myself, Ki Rekso."

"The task of starting to gather combat power by asking for the help of soldiers to the ruler in the area that supports our movement, done by adi Rangga Kaniten."

"How, do they all agree ?" ask Ki Rekso.

They all looked at each other while nodding and then simultaneously uttered, "Agujuuu !!!".

"Alright, I think this meeting has come to an agreement. We do our own duties. One day we will have another meeting to discuss the next thing we need" Ki Rekso said.

"We're ending the meeting. Thanks to all who have been present. Let's go to the back. There has been a small party prepared to entertain our meeting. Please," Ki Rekso said ending the meeting.

It had been several days Lintang Rahina and Sekar Ayu Ningrum were traveling. Because they do not have a specific purpose, then their journey is more often done by walking normally.

Until one day they arrived in a very crowded village. Many traders who come to change, to sell or to look for merchandise.

Since it was already noon, the two of them were planning on finding a food stall and also looking for information about the inn.

Finally they found a food stall that was not too many buyers. They headed to a corner table that happened to be empty and chose to sit facing the entrance.

Then a servant came up to them and asked them what they wanted to order.

While waiting for the arrival of their ordered food, Lintang Rahina looked around. Seen by him the guests who were eating at the food stall, most of them were merchants. There were also warriors seen from them carrying weapons.

There were also parents who Lintang Rahina could not count ira, they were traders or warriors.

A few moments later their ordered food arrived. Lintang Rahina and Sekar Ayu Ningrum immediately ate their food.

When Lintang Rahina and Sekar Ayu Ningrum were enjoying their lunch, outside the food stall was heard the clattering of horse legs that stopped in front of the food stall.

"Servant ! Prepare a table for us. And you take good care of our horse" cried one man dressed as a swordsman.

In a hurry, a servant headed to their horse to be taken to the place of taking care of the horse.

While the other waiter was busy preparing a large table for the group. The table is right in the middle.

The group immediately ordered a large amount of food and drinks for the size of their number of only six people.

It didn't take long, all the orders were already on the table.

The group immediately ate the food that was in front of them.
