The Blue Swordsman

The Fall of the Kingdom of Shaminari

Riswana and Nadira have just arrived at the royal palace of Shaminari, they intend to convey Rajendra's message to King Prabaswara. After telling if the royal cavalry had been defeated by the Sastrika Warrior they also told if it turned out that the Sastrika Warrior could not die.

"It would be a good step if you are currently giving orders to residents to immediately evacuate from this city" said Riswana began to say the purpose of his arrival.

"We are pretty sure that maybe soon the Sastrika Warrior will soon be able to break through the fortress of this kingdom" Nadira continued Riswana's speech.

King Prabaswara was silent, he never thought if the cavalry that became his pride turned out to be easily defeated by the Sastrika Warrior. Although within a certain limit he still felt reluctant to comply with the proposal of the two Atmik but as a King he also had a responsibility to save his people. After long enough to think finally he gave orders to his Majesty.

"Recommand the inhabitants to leave the city immediately, take them south of the country to a place called the village of Sentani" King Prabaswara decreed.

The retainers who were in that place immediately nodded and went to carry out the orders of his King.

Feeling that his goal had been achieved both Atmik finally resigned and went to perform Rajendra's second order, which was to bring Utari and Ranu to Sentani village.

"We also have to leave, my lord, there is something else we have to do. Your Majesty should also leave this kingdom immediately" Riswana tried to give advice.

King Prabaswara only nodded his head speechlessly at Riswana's words. Soon two Atmik had stepped out of the Shaminari Royal Palace. Leaving King Prabaswara still pensive in his mind.

"Do you think I should leave this kingdom?" King Prabaswara asked Adyana his advisor.

"If it is the only option to save myself, I think that is what you have to do" Adyana replied.

"Did that not seem like a coward?" Ask King Prabaswara who is still in doubt.

"Also, my lord, I don't think it's cowardice at all. His Majesty has told the population to evacuate this city, for now I think saving the people as much as possible is something more important. If you still insist on staying and decide to fight despite knowing there is no possibility of winning I don't think that's a wise attitude" Adyana explained at length.

King Prabaswara began to get enlightenment from the explanation that Adyana said, he now feels quite sure if indeed for now the best way is to make a rescue not for war.

"It is true that you say, take all the inhabitants of this palace and we will soon be ready to leave this kingdom" King Prabaswara gave the order even with a heavy heart.

"Your Majesty" answered Adyana, without lingering, he continued the order of his King to all he met.

While in other places Riswana and Nadira have reached the place of Utari and Ranu. After explaining everything they then intended to bring to both of them to immediately leave Ankara City.

"Then what about my sister" Tanya Utari showed an anxious face.

"What about the teacher?" Ranu chimed in Utari's words.

The real Riswana also felt the same still trying to remain calm and reassured the two, "He will be fine and will catch up with us soon".

Ranu stared at Utari, although the two were reluctant to leave Rajendra but there was nothing they could do to force him to leave at this time.

"We have to hurry, we should also immediately return to this place after delivering you to Sentani village" said Riswana impatiently.

Nadira who can feel the worry of Riswana's words also justify it, they then immediately bring both. Riswana and Nadira were transformed into Atmik form and took each of them flying out of Ankara City.

Outside the royal fortress of Shaminari Rajendra and the two Atmik seem still struggling to hold off the Sastrika Warriors. Although they knew that the fight could not be won, their goal was to buy time as long as possible to give the entire population of Ankara a chance to save themselves.

Arrows continued to shoot down the body of the Sastrika Warrior who came to attack the royal fortress. Although the efforts of the Soldiers seemed futile but that was all they could do.

Rajendra and the two Atmik who continued to fight with the Sastrika Warrior were slowly pushed back.

"Stay away from me" cried Rajendra on the second Atmik.

Hearing the command Bayurajata and Agnigara jumped back to the side to get away from Rajendra.

Accompanied by a shout Rajendra swept his sword across fiercely, in two times the slash of his mighty sword the wave of his power slashed all the Sastrika Warriors who were in front of him.

Both Atmik were amazed by the enormity of the attack, for a moment the attack gave them a pause. All of the Sastrika Warriors they faced had fallen down and split apart. The pause did not last long as the bodies of the Sastrican Warriors slowly rose again and fused.

But of all the Sastrika Warriors who managed to fall and split it, the three of them can see if there is one that seems unable to rise again. Although they do not know what really happened but now they are sure if it turns out that the Sastrika Warrior has a weakness.

"What did you just do?" Agnigara asked Rajendra between the fights that had returned.

"I only attacked with all my might" replied Rajendra who also seemed not to know why his attack could topple one Sastrika Warrior.

"At least now we know if they can be defeated" said Agnigara although he also has not found an explanation why one of the Sastrika Warriors could not rise again.

Trying the same way as Rajendra did both Atmik attacked with their strength, but the result was not the same. Although both attacks were able to destroy the body of the Sastrika Warrior but can be seen if they can rise again.

Feeling that their efforts began to give no results, slowly they began to be cornered into the walls of the fortress. Now they can see if the Sastrika Warrior began to successfully break into the royal fortress.

The Soldiers who were on top of the fort one by one began to be killed by the Sastrika Warriors who had made it to the top of the wall.

Rajendra who saw it immediately jumped up to try to stop, Both Atmik followed suit.

With a mind of heart Rajendra hopes that the residents of the city of Ankara have managed to go to save themselves. When he got to the top of the wall Rajendra tried to see the situation inside the city. A sense of relief soon surrounded his heart as he saw clearly that Ankara was empty.

"We must go, there is nothing more we must do here" said Agnigara when he saw also the situation in the Shaminari kingdom.

Seeing that all the royal guard soldiers had fallen, Rajendra felt a sense of anger, almost trying to come forward to fight again. But Agnigara prevented it, "What are you going to do?" He said while holding Rajendra's hand that looks ready to jump down.

"I have to beat them, it is my duty" Rajendra said as he tried to shake Agnigara's hand.

"We know, but not now there's a much more important thing for us to do right now. We have to make sure that the residents of this city will be able to get to Sentani Village safely" said Bayurajata to calm Rajendra.

As Rajendra's anger subsided, he began to realize that it felt much more important than venting his anger. To vent all his anger he swiped once more his sword towards the bottom of the fortress, the attack pierced through several Sastrika Warriors and exploded splitting the ground around the fort.

With Rajendra's broken feelings obey Atmik's second word, Bayurajata soon turns into an Eagle and takes Rajendra flying. Without turning his eyes Rajendra continued to look down, seeing if slowly the Sastrika Warrior began to successfully overthrow the power of the Shaminari kingdom.

Soon they realized that the current state power had fallen into the hands of Patih Pramana. Darkness now reigns over this country. Rajendra was determined in his heart that he would not let it last long. But for now there are other things that he must do, for some reason he can now only let for a while the power falls in the grasp of Patih Pramana.
