The Blue Swordsman

The Commandments Enforced

Just before the dawn of King Prabaswara and all the people he took to leave for refuge had prepared to continue his journey to the village of Sentani. Some people from the village they had just stopped by seemed to follow the King's invitation to join the entourage, but there are also some who choose to remain in the village because they have an assumption that for them there is no problem who currently holds power. Some residents who choose to settle believe, if they are just ordinary residents who will not be affected by the change of power holders.

Indeed, they have several times passed the change of power holders of this country but they do not understand at all if the current power holders are much more cruel than the previous Kings. Of course King Prabaswara could not force the inhabitants who insisted on staying in their village of birth to come with him, he also had the assumption that maybe Patih Pramana would not do bad things to commoners like them. So King Prabaswara finally allowed the inhabitants to make their own choice.

"So do you want to come or will you stay?" King Prabaswara asked the village chief there before continuing his journey.

The village head was silent, it seemed like he was feeling a dilemma between following his king or staying with the people, "Even the noble one, actually I feel honored to be able to accept the invitation of your Majesty. But it seems like I cannot leave the villagers in this village" replied the village chief saying his decision.

"Alright if you think that's your best option. But remember that later something bad happened at least now you know where to go" King Prabaswara said, appreciating the village chief's decision.

The village chief nodded his head in understanding with the words of his king. He also with a bad taste then let go of the King and his entourage by continuing to bow his head to show his respect.

After having a small conversation with Rajendra, King Prabaswara immediately led his people to immediately continue their journey. Rajendra and the two Atmik this time chose to walk behind the convoy of residents, he had a hunch if only now of course Patih Pramana had realized that the city of Ankara was empty. And it is very likely that Patih Pramana has now given orders to pursue the residents who have been displaced.

Armed with that in mind, Rajendra and the two Atmik decide to be in the back row to anticipate the possibility of danger or attack from Patih Pramana's emissary.

"Is it okay to leave the villagers to stay?" Agnigara asked as she turned her head back to look at the village they had just left.

"Hopefully the gods protect them" replied Rajendra who heard Agnigara's question. He had no other answer because Rajendra could not confirm whether Patih Pramana would still destroy small villages like the ones they had just left.

Agnigara turned his gaze away from the village and hoped that Rajendra's answer would actually happen. They then stepped with a group of refugees who were far enough ahead of them.

"Hopefully what we will meet at the end of this journey will be commensurate with what we have done" Rajendra told both Atmik.

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

Shortly after King Prabaswara's entourage left the small village where they had stopped before, the current Wanara and Shenkara had reached near the village. Since the orders of Patih Pramana only require him to know where the people of Ankara go, he has no desire to destroy the village. It was not because of his kindness that encouraged him to do so but there was clearly no pride for him to attack a small village that was even without such defense.

So then he and Shengkara immediately changed their shape to resemble humans to ask the villagers. Shengkara who resembles an old grandfather and Wanara resembles a young man who seems to be the grandson of the grandfather. After being convinced of the disguise, they then walked into the village. Their arrival was welcomed by a farmer who seemed to be about to start his work.

"Can I help you with the cake?" Ask the farmer politely.

"What do you want to ask?" The farmer replied while lowering the hoe on his shoulder.

"Was there a party passing through this village a while ago?" Tanya Shengkara started an information search.

"Oh yeah, the night before they had just stopped in our village, was this grandfather left behind from that entourage?" The farmer said, asking.

"Actually we are not from the group, but we heard that this country is in danger" replied Wanara who thought that of course the farmer had heard the story from because the entourage of King Prabaswara left his kingdom.

"Ah yes I have also heard the story, according to what I heard it seems like the power of this country has been successfully overthrown by Patih Pramana. And they thought it would be nice if we also went with them, but some residents still chose to stay. Because in fact it will have no effect on a small population like me this is anyone who currently holds power over this country" the farmer explained what he knew.

"Oh so it seems, then do you know where they're going? We were eager to follow their goal" asked Shengkara asking her the real intent.

"Ehm... If I don't hear wrong they seem to be heading to a village called Sentani" replied the Farmer innocently. He did not realize at all that his words had opened up a danger to everyone.

"Oh, thank you young man. We had better hurry to catch up with them" Shengkara said pretending to be in a hurry to leave.

"Ah yes kek together, you should be careful" replied the Farmer was releasing the departure of two strangers whom he did not know if both were stealth incarnations. The farmer took his hoe and continued his journey to the fields.

When the farmer had gone Wanara and Shenkara immediately disappeared and returned to the starting place where some of the Sastrika Warriors they had brought had been waiting.

"Sentani Village, now we know where they are going" said Wanara satisfied because he managed to carry out Patih Pramana's orders.

"Yes, we should now return immediately to tell this to Patih Pramana" said Shengkara who felt the same satisfaction as Wanara.

"Yes, and we will soon know what Patih Pramana will do when we know the news that we are carrying" Wanara revealed a meaningful smile.

Shenkara who understood the intent of Wanara replied with a smile. They immediately ordered the Sastrika Warriors who accompanied them to immediately return to the kingdom of Shaminari.

The order of Patih Pramana has been successfully executed. Now that the two demons were returning with news, no one knew what Patih Pramana might do when they heard the news. At the moment no one understands what Patih Pramana is trying to figure out where the refugees are headed. One thing that can be ascertained is certainly not a good thing that will be done by Patih Pramana.
