CHAPTER 24, THE NIGHTMARE THAT CAME TRUE

At the residence of the village head of Sekarjati, Ki Ageng Gandrik has not realized the situation because his bedroom is located far from the room of his mercenaries.

He was still waiting for news and thought everything was fine according to his plan. Moreover, the weather that night was quite cold coupled by the descent of the fog that made him and the patrolmen became lazy and chose to shuffle pull the blanket.

There are only a few guard troops who still patrol around the residence of the village head Sekarjati.

Danang who changed his clothes with more compact clothes and wearing a face covering cloth moved darting his body to relieve his body towards the west side of the village head residence, while Joyodipuro who now also has a face covering cloth darted towards the east side of the residence of the village head Sekarjati.

Using a signal by mimicking the sound of a bird of love, the two of them put together a simple word to tell each other the situation and where they are at the moment.

On the west side, Danang who is now in the room of the mercenary swordsmen faintly smell the stench of incense mixed with the smell of incense from the room located below him, so decided to jump down to investigate the origin of the stench mixed with the smell of frankincense.

With a sneak, he finally found the source where the stench, which turned out to come from in the room before him.

He slowly opened the door in front of him and slipped into the room.

Arriving in the room, he was surprised to see an old woman with blood all over her body stiffened with eyes bulging and her tongue sticking out with incense still burning in front of him and a number of offerings.

“According to my estimation, this corpse is the figure of the sorcerer female warrior told by Warsono's older brother earlier."

"Seeing the state of his body that is not in accordance with the information that I get, maybe he has a science that is able to make him look young, and before his death it seems that the science faded and turned to attack him.”think Danang who then decided to get out of the room and back darted east following Joyodipuro.

“Kakang, I found a dead body with a sad state that seems to be the last paid swordsman belonging to the head of the village on the west side.”bisik Danang after successfully finding Joyodipuro later.

“Good if so dimas. Means the rest of the strength of Sekarjati village only lives about two hundred soldiers who seem to be mostly still asleep.”bisik Joyodipuro.

“I think we should move to attack the soldiers who are still asleep suddenly and simultaneously quickly, so it is expected to be able to reduce the number of opponents in large numbers and quickly.”ulan Danang.

“I agree, wait, I'll take down some of the soldiers who are on guard for a while, then we move quickly and together break into the rooms of the sleeping soldiers.”ucap Joyodipuro who then darted paralyze some soldiers who were on guard.

In just a few minutes of tea, all the soldiers on guard had been incapacitated by Joyodipuro, who then sounded the bird's gesture of compassion as a sign that he was preparing for a surprise attack.

Danang who heard the signal then chanted Bayu Bajra, then darted like riding the wind towards the room of the soldiers of Sekarjati village, then dashed like, along with Joyodipuro who also shot attacked the room of the soldiers while mobilizing his Rog Rog Asem study.

“Heaaah....Bayu Bajra!”said Danang mobilized his studies that made the rooms of the soldiers and some of them were hit by the typhoon caused by the study.

Joyodipuro moved quickly to greet the rest of the soldiers by striking blows sprayed over his Rog Rog Asem dish, which resulted in dozens of soldiers who were not in a state of preparation were killed instantly.

The two quickly and endlessly rummaged through the rooms of Sekarjati village soldiers who were not prepared for the surprise attack.

“Arrrghhh..” The cries of death of the soldiers of Sekarjati village resonated breaking the silence of the morning blind where the sun had just revealed a red tinge in the eastern horizon.

As a result of the buzz of the two of them, panic quickly spread throughout the residence Ki Ageng Gandrik, which shocked the village chief, and the village chief, and decided to get out of his room to the army room while carrying Kyai Jatayu's heirloom sword that had been passed from his warangkanya.

Kyai Jatayu Sword is an heirloom sword that used to belong to Ki Ageng Sekarjati, the biological father of Danang who had been betrayed and killed in the past.

He came out of his room shouting to call his mercenaries.

“Warok Bull Ireng, Datuk Beetles. Nyai! Where're you guys?”exclaim Kyai Ageng Gandrik calling his mainstay warriors.

Upon arriving on the west side, how surprised he found two young men running amok and had made his army room ravaged with about a hundred of his soldiers having already died.

Ki Ageng Gandrik stood looking at the two figures of the young man rampaging to finish off his soldiers like a garuda with speed and prowess and a tiger with strength and might was facing a herd of rabbits.

“Crick! Warok Banteng Ireng, Datuk Kumbang, Nyai, come quickly, help me finish these two clutches!”shouted Ki Ageng Gandrik calling his mainstay warriors.

Seeing that Ki Ageng Gandrik had been there, Danang immediately sped up and said to Joyodipuro, “Kakang, please take care of the rest of the soldiers. I will face Ki Ageng Gandrik.”tujarnya while darting towards the head of Sekarjati village.

“Good dimas, leave it to me.” Joyodipuro replied as he passed his flagship whip weapon and continued to rampage among the soldiers of Sekarjati village.

Upon arrival in front of Ki Ageng Gandrik, Danang who folded his hands in front of his chest with a smile said, “Freely you shouted to the mercenaries kisanak, kisanak, they have all been in the bundle of spirits carried by the angel of death.”.

“Crick! Who are you, young man, what is the matter between you and me until you break the peace of this village?”ki Ageng Gandrik snapped at the figure of the dashing young man before him.

“Heh...the serenity you said kisanak? The peace you have gained by abducting girls all over Java and making them slaves of lust in your brothels you mean? Or do you mean peace by oppressing the people who are getting poorer in this village due to falling into the trap of gambling and debt?”ask Danang cynically.

“Know kisanak, I'm the one who made your gambling houses lose a few days yesterday." Danang said.

"I am the son of the village chief Sekarjati whom you betrayed and you destroyed. Today I demand revenge for the deaths of my parents. Eye reply eye, starch reply starch.”continue Danang cold.

Suddenly Ki Ageng Gandrik's heart as if it stopped beating hearing that. His memory returned to the nightmare he had a few full moons ago.

“Cricket..it turns out my nightmare has moved into reality...Nah! Before my life is free, I will fight while looking for an opportunity to escape from here.”he thought.

“That I give you a chance to defend yourself. I'm not a coward who would gang up on my opponent like you." said the young man.

"See also you have passed your sword a sign that you are ready for this fight, now put your horses kisanak.” Danang added to Ki Ageng Gandrik while preparing to install the horses.

While observing each other looking for the gaps and weaknesses of his opponent, Ki Ageng Gandrik suddenly shot forward while with all his strength to shake the heirloom sword Kyai Jatayu aimed at the neck of the young man in front of him.

“Hiaaah..awas neck!”he slashed at the neck of the young man before him....
