CHAPTER 35, THE EARLY STAGES OF THE PATANG TENS WARRIOR

“Let's go first, there's no need to go that way. Stand up, kids all. After all I am not a prince and just like all children.”ucap Danang while asking them all to stand up immediately.

“No Gusti Prince, for all of us andika is our Gusti Prince. We will all just submit and obey the orders of our Prince Gusti.”ucap one of the large high-bodied figures with a face adorned with a bewok firmly.

Seeing that Danang looked clumsy and confused, but Merta Mertowijoyo came over and embraced the young man while saying slowly, “Let nakmas, let them be like that. Nakmas Danang is a role model for them. The presumption and designation of nakmas as Gusti Prince is a form of respect for yourself nakmas.”ujar Mertowijoyo with a smile.

“Truly I feel uneasy and unkind with the name uncle. I think the proper designation Gusti Prince here is only for Kanjeng Gusti Prince Mangkubumi.”ucap Danang on Mertowijoyo.

“I don't think it's like that nakmas. Just as nakmas respect the figure of Kanjeng Gusti Prince Mangkubumi, so they respect the figure of nakmas. Do not waste the honor of those who have given their life and death to you nakmas.”ujar Mertowijoyo.

Hearing that Danang can only remove the blangkon and scratch his head which is actually not itchy.

After weighing for a while, finally the dashing young man said, “What's your name kisanak?”asked Danang on the tall, big-faced figure of the brewokan.

“Singgih Gusti Prince, servant name Mappatoba. Servants undertook nineteen slave brothers who were all pirates from Celebes.” he replied.

Then one of the not-so-high but muscular burly men moved forward and then knelt before Danang, “Gusti Prince, a servant named Mahesa Geni, I was the leader of the raiders from Alas Krabut in the Duchy of Banyumas.

“Alright, now forget all your past as robbers and pirates.

From now on we are all one part, which is as a unit of soldiers patang tens.”ucap Danang on them.

“Because I am younger than all the children, I will call you by the name of the brother, as I consider all of you to be my brothers. And I raised the leg of Mappatoba and the leg of Mahesa Geni as my representative in this tens of soldiers unit.”.

“Sendiko dawuh Gusti Pangeran, we will try to carry out the order Gusti Pangeran as well as possible.”ucap Mappatoba and Mahesa Geni together.

Since then, they set up large tents which were then used as their unit barracks in that place.

Danang chose to move from his room near the residence of Prince Mangkubumi and others to then stay in the tent and blend in with the soldier unit he led.

Every morning, the young man taught them to practice the canuragan that focused on speed of movement, short-range combat, and increased gedor strength of his troops through deep power processing until the afternoon.

He taught them also the movement of the strong and nimble Rimang Crow, the movement of a bull that is very close to defense, the agile ape motion, the movement of a fierce tiger in attack, and the movement of a fierce tiger in the attack, as well as the movement of the Alap-Alap which changes the rhythm of its movement and is full of tricks.

“The essence is solid like the earth, fast like the wind, moving like water, spreading without gaps like light, and burning like fire.”imbuh the young man gave an explanation to his soldier unit.

Their activities were only halted for a short time to do lunch and fulfill the obligation to face the Creator until the sunset.

After sunset, he invited his unit to fulfill the obligation to the Creator which continued with dinner and the rest of his time was spent chatting with them until bedtime arrived.

At dawn he always wake up and invite his soldiers to fulfill the obligation to the Creator which is continued by reading scriptures and literature and teaching war titles such as Supit Urang, Cakrabyuha, Radameta and others.

It did not feel like he had been there three times to train and form his army.

Patang tens soldiers are very respectful and feel appreciated as humans by the attitude and nature of the leader who nurtures to be willing to move from his residence room and live with them all in the tent of the soldier barracks.

Danang also visited the blacksmith located not so far from his barracks to order a weapon that would later be used as a special weapon for the units of the dozens of patang soldiers.

When he arrived there, Danang met with the master and expressed the intention of his arrival, “Sampurasun eyang, actually I came here to order weapons as many as forty pairs that will be used by my soldier unit. I want a weapon like this in the best results that the master can produce.”ujarnya while showing a pair of kudi hyang his.

After finishing paying attention to the weapon Ciptarasa empu continued the conversation, “To be honest I was unable to make a weapon of this level raden, besides the materials needed are almost impossible to obtain.”ujarnya while breathing heavily.

“But as I recall, I still have a bunch of latitude watu I found on the slopes of Mount Lawu first. It seems that by using the latitude watu material I can still make weapons like this, although the results are still several levels below the weapons belonging to raden.” added Ciptarasa masters.

“Ngapunten eyang, roughly how long would it take to make forty pairs of such weapons? And how much do I have to pay?”ask Danang to the Ciptarasa masters.

“I took about twelve full moons to make forty pairs of this weapon raden.”ucap the empu.

“Ngapunten eyang, can not be accelerated time of manufacture?”said Danang to the Ciptarasa master.

“I can work on raden, it takes at least seven to eight full moons at the fastest to make forty pairs of weapons like this. But frankly the cost of making it will be very expensive raden, because I have to devote all my time and attention to the manufacture of weapons raden orders and reject other orders.”ujar Ciptarasa empu.

“I set a price of ten gold pieces for making a pair of weapons like this, plus fifty gold pieces because the manufacture will require my latitude watu. So that the total amount is four hundred and fifty pieces of gold. Does raden agree?”said the Ciptarasa empu.

“Alright I agree, hopefully the results will be in accordance with what I expect. I'll hand over some of the payment as a down payment, the rest I'll pay off after the whole gun is done within eight full-lengths.”ujar Danang while handing over two hundred gold pieces from behind his clothes and sheathing a pair of kudi into his war.

“I will make sure the results are in accordance with the expectations of raden, although as I have said earlier, the results will be several levels below the weapons belonging to raden.”ucap Ciptarasa empu.

“Good eye, I beg you. I will often come here to see the development of making the weapon.”ucap Danang who then went to the residence of Prince Mangkubumi.

Upon arrival there he was greeted by Prince Mangkubumi and Raden Mas Said who happened to be visiting there, “Aaah. Anyhow suddenly nakmas visited here after three full moon never seen?”prince Mangkubumi.

Danang then said while arranging his worship service, “Nyuwun pangapunten Gusti Pangeran and Raden Mas Said, I have been negligent to not take the time to visit Gusti Pangeran for up to three full purnama.”it is polite.

“First of all, I would like to report the results of the formation of the tens patang warrior unit as Gusti Prince entrusted."

"At this time they are very active and eager to do training and soldiery, but frankly have not achieved the expected results even though it has begun to look there is a fairly proud progress.”the youth's report.

“The second, I ask permission from Gusti Pangeran and Raden Mas Said to be given throwing and jaranan training, to increase the ability of servants and soldiers units patang tens.”.

“Explain what you mean in detail nakmas.”ucap Pangeran Mangkubumi responded to the young man's proposal before him.

“Prince Gusti Kasegihan, according to the servant by mastering the toss, will increase the attack power of the tens patang warrior unit that uses dhedemitan tactics."

"A sudden attack of arrows at the beginning of the battle will be able to reduce the enemy in large numbers, which is then continued by short-range combat in a time when the enemy is still in a state of panic.”ujar Danang.

“Then the ability of the lineanan according to the servant will increase the power of gedor and the speed of the unit patang tens in carrying out attacks, so as to be able to finish off the enemy suddenly and disappear quickly until it is difficult to be pursued and sought its existence according to the tactics of dhedemitan and perfaludan.”.

“I agree with your proposal nakmas. I will ask for Mertowijoyo's help to train the ranks of your warrior unit, Mertowijoyo is very skilled in the ranks.”ucap Pangeran Mangkubumi.

“It seems that I will also ask the help of nakmas Said to allow his estri warriors to train you and his tens of fighters in the toss, because I know that the estri warriors are very skilled in the field of tossing and field of telik ciphers. How nakmas Said, do you allow?”prince Mangkubumi.

“I let him romo. I'll ask Nyai Arum and some of his chosen people to train dimas Danang and his army in jangingan.”ujar Raden Mas Said.

“Well, monggo, nakmas Said has given his approval. I think you can start the next morning after Nakmas Said gave orders to his army unit today.”ujar Pangeran Mangkubumi.

“Sendiko dawuh Gusti Pangeran, then I beg you to return to the barracks with the patang warrior unit tens.”ujar Danang while giving his worship and then inching backwards...
