The Blue Swordsman

Early Destruction

The rain that fell the night before left water in the pits of the former battle, creating a puddle of water around the royal fortress of Shaminari. At that time the situation was not bright enough the new dawn would break. A bird was seen flying as it was about to drink from the stagnant water, it seemed to feel a tremor on the ground. Because it looks like the water in the puddle seems to vibrate many times.

The soldiers who were on guard at some point in the fort long ago began to realize the vibration that came many times. Some of the soldiers were seen observing the water in the vibrating glass, some others were on the ramparts observing the tremors of the puddles beneath them.

It was as if a heavy object had fallen from above the sky many times. People began to feel confusion to find out what was really going on. The soldiers were on standby, instinctively they were all staring out at the fortress.

...*********...

The previous day when it was past midnight Patih Pramana had gathered all the Sastrika Warriors. There was little doubt on him finding a way to bring the Sastrika Warriors to attack the fortress of Shaminari kingdom.

"Are you not able to bring them all near the fortress?" Patih Pramana asked Wanara and Shengkara.

"If it had to be at once all the Sastrika Warriors of course we are not able to, although we can take them one by one but it will take a long time and of course will drain the energy we have" Wanara replied.

Patih Pramana immediately understood Wanara's words, of course if it was still done it felt very ineffective. Then it occurred to him that if it was possible that the Sastrika Warrior had the ability to move quickly, then with that thought he would try to lead them all to go to the Shaminari royal fortress.

"Which move should I go through to go to the fortress of Shaminari?" Patih Pramana asked the two demons while staring at them alternately.

Wanara and Shengkara who did not understand the meaning of the Patih just pointed towards the fortress was located, "The direction there can not be wrong again".

After gazing deeply into the direction pointed by Wanara, Patih Pramana immediately prepared to go to the royal fortress. While taking a stance to jump Patih Pramana shouted loudly at all Sastrika Soldiers "Follow me!".

With a repulsion Patih Pramana jump, so high that it was as if a hill could be passed in one jump. All Sastrika Warriors began to appear to move following the jump Patih Pramana, unexpected they all turned out to also be able to compensate for the leap Patih.

Wanara and Shengkara were of course surprised by what they saw, it was quite unexpected if it turned out that Patih Pramana planned that way to demand the Sastrika Warrior to go to the Shaminari royal fort. Patih Pramana who turned his head and saw if the Sastrika Warrior managed to do the same thing with what he did seemed to smile with satisfaction "my guess is not wrong" he said in his heart.

So began their journey to the fortress of Shaminari kingdom. The ground was always pounding, the earth seemed to collapse every time they came down and treaded the ground. Everything looked broken when it became where they landed, every time the Sastrika Warriors retraced to the ground they would immediately jump again. In that way they seemed to have destroyed everything they had gone through.

Patih Pramana and Sastrika Warriors are now almost to their destination. The tremors in the land they caused were now felt by all the Soldiers guarding the royal fortress, or perhaps even felt by everyone in the city of Ankara.

...********** ...

Rajendra awakens from his sleep because he feels the vibrations that come continuously, thinking that he only dreamed Rajendra trying to sit and try to feel it again. Because he still felt himself becoming convinced that it was not a dream, he quickly went out and tried to find out what was really going on.

Outside it turned out that the Atmics had gathered and looked far into the walls of the fortress.

"We don't know ourselves either" Bayurajata replied ahead of the others.

The soldier guarding above the fortress finally saw the answer to the question that was in everyone's hearts. One figure that is none other than Patih Pramana has landed not far from the wall of the fort, then followed by hundreds of other figures who also landed around it. The thumping sound was heard many times as one by one the Sastrika Soldiers began to land, shaking the walls of the royal fortress of Shaminari.

Hundreds of horsemen who had been on standby instantly formed an attacking formation, they realized that the anticipated attack had now come. The commander of the cavalry had led his troops out of the fortress, armed with spears and swords they seemed ready to throw the enemy troops.

Although the arrival and the figure of the Sastrika Warrior look stunning, but because of their number is not too much it seems to make the royal warrior slightly underestimate the power possessed by the Sastrika Warrior.

Looking at the number of enemy troops that were outnumbered by the cavalry led by him The royal commander seemed a little more confident and excited. While controlling his horse the Commander walked in front of his troops while telling his cavalry to prepare to form a formation and prepare to attack.

While brandishing the sword he carried aloft the Commander immediately shouted the command "Strike!!" The voice that sounded so loud and clear it seemed as if it was hinting if the war had just begun.

The entire cavalry who understood that the command had been given immediately spurred his horse, with spears and swords pointed in front of the army shouting threat. Within each of those cavalrymen, filled with confidence would soon win the war with ease. Seeing the number of horsemen who are currently storming if no one will be able to contain it. Even the horsemen currently deployed were larger than the troops that once managed to win the war and seize power over this country.

Patih Pramana who realized that the attack was almost coming immediately ordered the Sastrika Soldiers "Face them!" He said calmly.

The Sastrika soldiers immediately moved forward through the body of Patih Pramana, seeing if the horsemen were near they immediately formed a triangular angular formation. Without a doubt they were silent in the formation waiting for the advance of the cavalry.

The commander of the cavalry saw the enemy form a formation that was usually formed by smaller troops. While sharing a cynical smile, he felt that the war had been won. The commander thought that he had destroyed such a formation many times, and of course this time he would succeed in doing so again.

Blinded by the arrogance of the cavalry was crashing just like the formation formed by the Sastrika Warrior. The commander of the cavalry thought that the angle of the formation would soon be damaged when it was hit by hundreds of horsemen led by him. When the corner of the formation had been broken then it was easy for the rear of the cavalry to barge in and destroy them all.

But something that was not taken into account by the Commander of the cavalry had just happened, the corner of the formation was not completely destroyed, not even flinching a bit. The situation became chaotic when the cavalry behind continued to push forward his horse because he thought the troops in front had destroyed the enemy formation.

The cavalry at the front became squeezed between the formation created by the Sastrika Warrior and the cavalry that continued to move forward. In the chaos, there was finally the sound of a groan "Stop, stop your pace"

In desperation many cavalrymen who eventually died trampled on the horses of their own troops. Not to mention that all the cavalry realized his mistake, the Sastrika Warrior started to launch his attack, some who were not in formation had jumped from behind. The attack that came unexpectedly was clearly devastating and ravaged the cavalry quickly.

While in the air, the Sastrika Warrior launched a wave of blows that caused an explosion and threw cavalry around the attack site. When they landed the cavalry seemed to be trampled and collapsed, it did not take long the relentless attack by the Sastrika Warrior had managed to defeat all the cavalry.

The cavalry who were predicted as the strongest army owned by the Shaminari Kingdom, now seemed helpless against the Sastrika Warrior. Forces that usually can always win the war, are now swept away in one attack. Everything that was going on seemed to hint at an omen from the beginning of the destruction of the Shaminari kingdom.
