The fall of Raden Singomenggolo and the White Tiger Patih immediately made the mental battle of Mandala Wengker troops collapse. They tried to retreat into the city while putting up resistance. The soldiers of Pakuwon Sendang continued to plunge into Wengker City, hunting down the soldiers of Wengker City who ran into the city.
Under the leadership of Arya Pethak, Pakuwon Sendang troops continued to rush in. Their spirit was so burning when they saw the death of two men led by Wengker soldiers.
Raden Ronggo, who was on top of the Wengker city wall, immediately jumped down from the top of the wall. Two of his confidants, Bango Rowo and Cangak Biru were waiting for the arrival of the lord with a face full of fear.
"How is this Raden?? Our troops have lost, Raden Singomenggolo has died at the hands of their leader.
We must quickly get out of this place before they find Raden" said Bango Rowo as he continued to look towards Raden Ronggo who seemed to have started to panic.
Raden Ronggo's martial skills are still under Raden Singomenggolo. During this time he became the leader of the Mandala Wengker army also because he relied on his tongue-licking ability also because of the cunning of the mother who became the favorite concubine of Duke of Warok Singo Ludro named Dewi Setyorini. The beautiful woman used all means so that her son had a respectable standing among the Mandala Wengker nobility. He could have slandered people who were blocking his desires, also using devious means to get rid of them. Duke of Warok Singo Ludro who bent his knees under his eyes, as if closing his eyes to all the foul behavior of this prettiest concubine.
While sighing deeply, Raden Ronggo frowned as if thinking hard how to escape the invading Pakuwon Sendang soldiers.
Mmmmmm...
"I'm still confused as to what I should do, Bango Rowo..
If I run away now, what will be the fate of my mother inside Wengker Palace? The rebels will definitely kill him" Raden Ronggo said immediately.
"We should immediately enter the palace and bring Gusti Concubine Goddess Setyorini. There was one place that could be a way out from within this Wengker City of Raden.
Inside the residence of Ki Mendho Abang, there was a secret passage that penetrated beyond the city walls. We can use that road to escape", said Cangak Biru quickly.
"Ah why didn't you tell me from earlier, Blue Cangak?
Let's hurry and go, hunt the rebels into the palace. Let the rest of Wengker's army hold them before we can save my mother", having said so, Raden Ronggo quickly ran towards the side door of Wengker Palace where it was a road that was rarely known to the crowd. In between the panic of residents who were frightened by the atmosphere that occurred inside Wengker City, they continued to move quickly towards the side door of the palace.
Once it was safe enough they immediately entered the palace and headed straight towards the Princess Palace where Goddess Setyorini lived. The sound of fanfare that was heard in front of the gate of Mandala Wengker palace apparently also made the entire Wengker Palace panic extraordinary. Seen Goddess Setyorini was confused when Raden Ronggo came along with Cangak Biru and Bango Rowo.
"Ronggo Ronggo my son, what is going on in front of the palace archway? Why so much noise, Ronggo?", asked Goddess Setyorini with a face full of panic.
"Sorry Kanjeng Mom, please,
We'd better leave the palace. There are rebels who managed to break down the defenses of the Wengker soldiers in the city. Kangmas Singomenggolo and Patih the White Tiger had already been killed by them. Currently only Tumenggung Jababhaya and Senopati Ringgang are still surviving in front of the palace gate and I am sure it will not last long.
Let's go save ourselves, Kanjeng Ibu" Raden Ronggo said quickly. Goddess Setyorini was shocked to death hearing the answer of her only son. He really did not expect that there would be an event like this.
"WHATAAAAAA??!!!!
How is there such an incident, Ronggo?", asked Goddess Setyorini who was surprised to hear the story of Raden Ronggo.
"Tell me later, Mother.. Now the most important thing is that we have to quickly get out of this Wengker City. After mother survived, I will make sure that Wengker City I will recapture", Raden Ronggo quickly shook the hand of Goddess Setyorini towards the side door of Wengker palace.
After making sure they were safe, Raden Ronggo immediately brought Goddess Setyorini to the residence of Ki Mendho Abang, one of the lowly officials who faithfully supported Raden Ronggo. The five of them escaped from Wengker City through a secret passage.
Meanwhile, the Wengker soldiers continued to be pushed until they retreated into the palace. The bodies of the victims were everywhere. In some places, there are pools of blood coming out of the bodies of the soldiers Wengker and Pakuwon Sendang who died. The roar of pain mixed with the cries of some residents affected by this war is so heartbreaking. The great battle continued fiercely.
The relief forces of the magic warriors who sided with Arya Pethak and Nay Kemuning led by Anjani and Sekarwangi surrounded the outer side of the palace until some people who tried to save themselves were no doubt become victims of their weapons. Wengker City was really a flood of blood.
The terminally ill Duke of Warok Singo Ludro, with limped footsteps walked out from inside his resting room. The ruler of Tanah Mandala Wengker was immediately in papah by his courtiers. His old face seemed to pale helplessly. Duke of Warok Singo Ludro continued to walk towards the front of the Great Pendopo Tanah Mandala Wengker which was now full of soldiers who were fighting. The sound of guns clashing sounded crowded.
"STOP..!!!"
Warok Singo Ludro's weak shout instantly stopped the fierce fight between the rest of Wengker's soldiers with Pakuwon Sendang's soldiers. Tumenggung Banya Tawang, the only high-ranking officer of Wengker soldiers who remained immediately gave a signal to the Wengker soldiers to form a posse to protect Duke Warok Singo Ludro. They docked while continuing to be on standby to face the soldiers of Pakuwon Sendang who surrounded them.
"Who are y'all? Why mess up in my Palace?", asked Duke of Warok Singo Ludro while staring at the soldiers of Pakuwon Sendang led by Arya Pethak.
"I, Nay Kemuning, the daughter of Dewi Windradi the granddaughter of Resi Candramaya claim the right to the throne of Mandala Wengker which should be the property of my mother that you illegally control, Gusti Adipati Warok Singo Ludro or maybe I should call you Uncle Warok Singo Ludro", said Nay Kemuning with a cynical smile towards Duke of Warok Singo Ludro.
The ruler of Tanah Mandala Wengker was shocked not to play to hear the words of Nay Kemuning. So also with Tumenggung Tanyawang who stood beside him. The Wengker people really do not think that the leader of this rebel group is the nephew of Warok Singo Ludro himself.
"You're Kangmbok Windradi's son? Haven't you been killed by Surenggono?", Warok Singo Ludro stammered when he mentioned Nay Kemuning's late birth mother.
"Huh, you think I've been killed by Surenggono according to his report right? It's just to please you. Ki Buyut Mangun Tapa has saved my life from your foul intentions through Surenggono.
Uncle Singo Ludro, as the heir of Goddess Windradi I claim the right to the throne of Mandala Wengker. Kanjeng Eyang Resi Candramaya has already handed this decision to me. Now stay on yourself. Want to give up the throne Mandala Wengker is good or I am forced to take it back by force?", Nay Kemuning stared intently at his uncle and his mother's killer. Arya Pethak kept silent but she was wary of anything that might happen.
"Huhhhhh, a woman is not entitled to the throne. I've asked both Romo Resi Candramaya, but the answer I never got. Forced me to use dirty means to snatch her.
And to the death, I will not hand over the crown of Mandala Wengker to Kangmbok Windradi or his descendants!", having said so, Warok Singo Ludro pulled out the heirloom keris on his waist and quickly darted closer to Nay Kemuning. Once in front of Nay Kemuning, Warok Singo Ludro quickly thrust the heirloom dagger in his right hand towards the belly of the beautiful woman who was also his own nephew. Arya Pethak quickly blocked the wrist of Warok Singo Ludro.
"What do you want, Singo Ludro?", asked Arya Pethak as she continued to clasp the right wrist of Warok Singo Ludro.
"Let go of my hand, you son of a bitch!
He should have been dead decades ago!!", Warok Singo Ludro said in anger. Hearing that answer, Arya Pethak smiled cynically at the stubborn attitude of Warok Singo Ludro.
"Two jackbirds don't know themselves !
You're just a cunning coward who uses someone else's hand to power. You do not deserve to lead the Land of Mandala Wengker!", finished saying so, Arya Pethak used all his energy in squeezing the wrists of Warok Singo Ludro.
Kreeetteekkkkkkkhh ...
Aaaarrrgggghhhh !!!
A loud shout from Warok Singo Ludro as his wrist bone was crushed. Simultaneously Arya Pethak immediately turned the tip of the heirloom keris towards the stomach of Warok Singo Ludro and rained it.
Jllleeeeeeppph...
Aaauuugggghhhhh !!!
Warok Singo Ludro breezed as the tip of his heirloom keris pierced through his own stomach. The sickly old man's body collapsed to the ground while holding his stomach pierced by his own heirloom.
"Wa-ka you're going to die horribly", Warok Singo Ludro pointed at Arya Pethak. Shortly thereafter he died with an heirloom keris stuck in his stomach.
Seeing the death of Duke of Warok Singo Ludro, the rest of the Wengker soldiers looked at each other. Tumenggung Banyak Tawang who first threw his keris into the pendopo courtyard of the Palace followed by thousands of Wengker soldiers who remained. They surrendered to Arya Pethak and his army.
Cheers raged among the soldiers Pakuwon Sendang to be a sign of the end of resistance from the warrior Wengker and the victory of the people Arya Pethak and Nay Kemuning. That same day, the throne of Mandala Wengker fell into the hands of Arya Pethak and Nay Kemuning.
"Long live Gusti Duke Arya Pethak..!
Hail Gusti Ayu Nay Kemuning !
Live Mandala Wengker !!..."
Arya Pethak immediately raised her right hand which made all the cheers of her followers stop.
"Today, we've returned what should have been ours. With this I promise to restore the security, welfare and prosperity of the people of Wengker with Nay Kemuning my wife!", Arya Pethak said immediately welcomed by everyone in the place.
"Now is the time for us to reorganize Mandala Wengker".
