From then on, the supporters of Nay Kemuning and Arya Pethak began to formulate a force against the reign of Duke of Warok Singo Ludro. Quickly, they gathered support from the residents of Pakuwon Sendang especially from Girimulyo Village and Biting Village. Other villages also sent their young men to join the war games in preparation to face the Wengker soldiers under the leadership of Raden Ronggo.
The soldiers of Pakuwon Sendang who had surrendered also pledged allegiance to support the struggle of Nay Kemuning and her husband. Those who have been receiving unpleasant treatment from Akuwu Surenggono, are really grateful for the death of the despotic ruler.
One by one support continued to flow from around the Pakuwon Sendang region. Some Akuwu even declared themselves that they supported Nay Kemuning as the rightful ruler of Mandala Wengker Land who was represented to Arya Pethak as her husband. This further strengthened the position of Arya Pethak as a counter-leader in the western region of Tanah Wengker.
From the support that came, finally after almost 1 full moon later, a large army was formed that numbered around ten thousand people. They are divided into 5 parts of power which each consists of 2 thousand soldiers. Each was led by an officer appointed by Arya Pethak.
Ki Simo Blue and Subrata, leading a team from Pakuwon Granti. Another army led by Arya Pethak was assisted by the wives and Klungsur and Nirmala. Three other troops were led by Mpu Wikarto, Kebo Jinanda of Pakuwon Slahung and Gagar Mayang son of Akuwu Gajah.
In some areas that support the new Akuwu Sendang movement, preparing their rice barns as the main condition for movement. This was done neatly and almost inaudibly by the eyes of Raden Ronggo which was widely spread throughout the Land Mandala Wengker Region.
These preparations were neatly and hidden on the slopes of Mount Wilis to prevent leaks in their plans for rebellion.
But as soon as they hid their plans, there was concern that enveloped the hearts of supporters of Arya Pethak and Nay Kemuning. Half full again there is a routine pisowanan at Pendopo Agung Tanah Mandala Wengker. This is what makes the supporters of Arya Pethak began to fidget and want to immediately revolt. Because if until Akuwu Sendang is not present in Wengker Palace, it can be stamped as a rebel and the Wengker soldiers will be deployed to storm in the direction of Pakuwon Sendang. For the supporters of Arya Pethak and Nay Kemuning, it is better to attack first so that they do not have any preparation at all.
Mmmmmm...
There was a long breath of Arya Pethak while sitting on the throne of Pakuwon Sendang after hearing the urging of his supporters to move immediately.
"Hamba agrees with the opinion of everyone in this place, Gusti Prince..
If until Wengker Palace mobilizes all their soldiers to rush here, we will be troubled. The number of their troops is about 15 thousand soldiers. From this count, we are outnumbered by them. But if we storm first, they won't have enough time to gather their soldiers" Mpu told Wikarto in his homage to Arya Pethak.
"I actually agree with you, Mpu Wikarto.
But I'm still waiting for the results of the exploration done by Ki Simo Biru and Subrata to Pakuwon Karangrejo. However, we need at least 2 thousand more soldiers to carry out the plan that we have been compiling so far", replied Arya Pethak while rubbing her chin. Nay Kemuning who sat with her was seen rubbing Arya Pethak's shoulder, trying to calm the husband's mind.
Mpu Wikarto was silent to Arya Pethak's answer. After all, their troops would face a large number of enemies and their current strength could not yet be considered on par with the Wengker warriors.
The atmosphere of Pendopo Pakuwon Sendang became silent for a while. The higher-ups of the soldiers and the army leaders all fell silent with their own thoughts.
But the silence lasted only a few moments after Ki Simo Biru and Subrata who were assigned to Pakuwon Karangrejo entered the Pendopo Pakuwon Sendang along with a middle-aged man who wore clothes like a nobleman and a burly young man with a thick mustache. Soon Ki Simo and Subrata worship at Arya Pethak and are followed by two men who follow her. They immediately sat cross-legged on the floor of Pendopo Pakuwon Sendang.
"Please forgive me a little late, Gusti Prince, Gusti Ayu..
We were forced to take a detour to avoid the patrols of Raden Ronggo's men who were combing the area near the Teak Forest. These are Akuwu Lembu Sukmo from Karangrejo and his son, Lembu Kangko. They said Pakuwon Karangrejo fully supported Gusti Pangeran and Gusti Ayu's plan to reclaim the right to the throne of Mandala Wengker Land", reported Ki Simo Biru while respecting Arya Pethak and Nay Kemuning.
"What does this Blue Ki Simo say, Akuwu Lembu Sukmo?", asked Arya Pethak immediately.
"What exactly did this Blue Ki Simo say, Gusti Prince..
The Wengker throne must return to the rightful. The Duke of Warok Singo Ludro had been suffering from the customs held by the ancestors for hundreds of years.
Servants have prepared trained young men and Pakuwon Karangrejo soldiers as many as 2 thousand people. We hope that Gusti Pangeran and Gusti Ayu are willing to accept the soldiers of Pakuwon Karangrejo as part of the Gusti Pangeran army to get the rights to the throne of Tanah Mandala Wengker", said Akuwu Lembu Sukmo immediately.
Hearing that answer, a sweet smile was immediately etched on the handsome face of Arya Pethak. He immediately stood up from his seat and clasped his right arm with his left hand behind his waist as he walked to the middle of Pendopo Agung Pakuwon Sendang where all his followers sat cross-legged in an orderly manner.
"Because what we expect has come, then tomorrow we will go to Wengker to demand justice!"
Hearing Arya Pethak's words, Mpu Wikarto immediately shouted loudly while clenching his hands tightly on his head while saying, "Life Gusti Prince Arya Pethak ! Hail Gusti Ayu Nay Kemuning!".
The shout of this spirit is immediately unpretentious at Pendopo Agung Pakuwon Sendang. Arya Pethak and Nay Kemuning immediately smiled broadly at the spirit of the supporters.
And thus... The next day, they began to move towards the direction of Wengker City. Using Supit Urang's tactics, Arya Pethak divided her army into two parts. One large section consisting of 9 thousand ordinary soldiers led directly by him, moving from the south side with the aim to give fear to the residents of Wengker so as not to help Wengker troops.
While there is a smaller army consisting of warriors who have a fairly high martial ability amounted to about 3 thousand people, led by Ki Simo Blue and Subrata moving silently from the North. They moved quickly but with almost no sound.
In the large army led by Arya Pethak, bende with colorful pennant pennant became the hallmark of their presence because they wanted to attract the attention of the entire Wengker community.
In just two days, a large army led by Arya Pethak had approached Wengker City from the south to make the residents of Tanah Wengker choose not to do anything for fear.
And this managed to make a concussion of Mandala Wengker Palace.
Raden Ronggo who is busy enjoying the beauty of his perverted partner's body, must stop his momentary pleasure because Bango Rowo knocks on the door of his room hard.
Thok thookk thok !!
"Gusti Prince Gusti Prince Raden Ronggo...
There is great news Gusti!", cried Bango Rowo as he continued to knock on Raden Ronggo's bedroom door.
"Son doesn't know at profit!
"This is Gusti Prince's servant, Bango Rowo..
Please hurry out Gusti Prince. There is a big problem moving towards Wengker!", cried Bango Rowo in panic.
Hearing Bango Rowo's words, while continuing to curry favor, Raden Ronggo quickly put on his clothes after jumping down from the bed. Her partner also covered her entire body naked without a thread with a blanket. This beautiful and beautiful woman immediately shuffled as if hiding behind the corner of the sleeping bed of the prince Wengker.
With a slight brute, Raden Ronggo instantly opened his bedroom door. His red eyes held back the high anger that glared at the bull at Bango Rowo who stood up with a paled face.
"Now tell me what's up, Bango Rowo?
If what you're saying isn't important, I'll cut your head off right now", threatening words coming out of Raden Ronggo's mouth.
.
"Please forgive the life of the servant, Gusti Prince. But it's really important.
There was a large army moving quickly from the southern direction of Wengker City. In less than half a day, they would arrive outside the walls of Wengker City. From the report of the coders, they are no less than 10 thousand soldiers Gusti Pangeran", reported Bango Rowo quickly.
WHATAAAAAA??!!!!!
Surprised Raden Ronggo hears Bango Rowo's report. During the week, there were no reports of suspicious movements throughout the Mandala Wengker Land. If the arrival just appeared a large army that stormed towards the main gate of Wengker City in the south, of course this is big surprise news.
"W-how could there be such a big problem? What are we doing in our passwords? It is impossible to attract all of the Wengker warriors that I spread across the entire region within half a day..
It's bad!", cold sweat began to drench Raden Ronggo's forehead.
"Bango Rowo, Blue Cross..
Gather all the retainers and leaders of the Wengker soldiers who exist! Get them here right now! Hurry!!", Raden Ronggo's orders are under tremendous panic.
"Well Gusti Prince!", after worshiping Raden Ronggo, Bango Rowo and Cangak Biru immediately withdrew from the presence of Raden Ronggo to carry out their duties.
While waiting for the retainers to gather, Raden Ronggo paced back and forth while thinking about who they were and what the purpose of this great army really was. The more Raden Ronggo thought, the more complicated his thoughts became.
The courtiers and high-ranking officers of the Wengker soldiers came in tatters. Raden Ronggo's impromptu call really surprised them. One of them was the White Tiger Patih. The thick-bodied middle-aged man immediately sat cross-legged on the floor of Keputran Wengker who became Raden Ronggo's residence in the Palace.
"You know why I call you all here impromptu like this?", asked Raden Ronggo immediately.
"We don't know at all, Gusti Prince. Please note", replied the White Tiger Patih while respecting Raden Ronggo who is the warlord of Tanah Wengker, a position under Patih but when the war occurs then all his will obey his orders including Patih Land Mandala Wengker.
Raden Ronggo quickly explained the current situation to them. The high-ranking officers of the Wengker soldiers as well as the courtiers were immediately jolted at the words of Raden Ronggo. The prickling sound came from their mouths.
"Now I ask, how many Wengker soldiers still live around Wengker City?", asked Raden Ronggo immediately.
"Gusti Prince..
Inside the city there were only 2 thousand soldiers guarding the city gate and the palace. If the ones around the City might be able to gather about 7 thousand soldiers in half a day" replied Tumenggung Mahesa Jumena while respecting Raden Ronggo.
Raden Ronggo immediately patted his own jidat hard.
"This doctor is bad...
Now gather all the soldiers we can summon within half a day towards the city. Once you arrive, close the city gates ! Then arrange it in such a way that they are ready for battle!
I hereby declare us in a state of emergency!", cried Raden Ronggo loudly.
"We understand, Gusti Prince!"
After saying so, the retainers and army officers of Wengker immediately disbanded to carry out the duties given by Raden Ronggo.
The sound of tongs beaming at each other as a warning sign of danger sounded loud. Wengker City Market which is being visited suddenly collapsed instantly with a warning of danger signs. Everyone is busy saving themselves. The residents of Wengker City immediately closed the doors and windows of the house after their family members entered.
Some soldiers who can ride fast are assigned by Tumenggung Mahesa Jumena to call the patrol soldiers who are on duty away from the palace to return. While those near the Palace, immediately moved into Wengker City as a defense force.
After the Wengker soldiers were collected as many as 9 thousand soldiers, the gate of Wengker City was closed. The atmosphere of Wengker City turned tense and gripping.
At noon, a large army approached the wall of Wengker City. Bende sound that is hit rhythmically in addition to colorful umbul pennant, also do not forget their flag makes the breath of the defense soldiers as stopped for a while.
From the top of the Wengker city wall, two sons of Rajamandala Wengker Duke of Warok Singo Ludro namely Raden Ronggo and Raden Singomenggolo stood staring at thousands of soldiers who continued to approach the wall of Wengker City. Raden Singomenggolo immediately turned to Raden Ronggo as he asked,
"Who are they, Dhimas Ronggo?"
