THE SOUTHEAST EARTH FIRE GOD SWORD
PART 17'S
La Mudu and all of his impromptu disciples would make their first attack using spears. They are young men who do have natural skills in terms of using this one weapon, because they are very skilled antelope hunters. It was likely that the hordes of la Afi Sangia's men had not expected such a daring attack. Because so far there has been no history of village communities throughout the country Babuju who dared to oppose the greatness of la Afi Sangia directly. So La Mudu reckoned, the hordes of evil robbers were easily exterminated, even with spears.
That night was quite light by the full moon. When the sound of the horses coming from the north, La Mudu immediately gave orders to all his impromptu disciples to get ready. They stood lined up in a certain distance and hid behind the trees on the side of the path that would be passed by the horde of his men Afi Sangia.
Dozens of Afi Sangia's men rode on their horses. Some precede dozens of horses that specifically carry the load of rice, and some walk following the load horses. The frail sound of the horses interspersed by the stories and their laughter made the atmosphere of the night not quiet.
But beyond their expectations, as they passed a bend of the road that was a bit uphill after passing a dead river, they suddenly got a rapid attack dozens of spears. The spears were pointing towards the rider of each horse.
All the members of the La Afi Sangia gang who will absolutely get such an attack, of course, cannot avoid. Moreover, the night atmosphere of the forest passed is quite dim because the moonlight is blocked by dense trees. So no doubt, groans after moans sound heartbreaking accompanied the fall of their bodies from the backs of their respective mount horses.
All of La Mudu's men jumped out of their hiding places and immediately approached their respective victims, then they mercilessly pulled out their spears and threw them many times into the bodies of these wicked men. Just for a moment the place was crowded by the heartbreaking sound of death screams, then deserted.
La Mudu who had just stood up to watch the action of all his impromptu students remained standing in his place. He ordered that all the bodies be disposed of in one place in a ravine not far from that place. After everything was done, La Mudu invited all his men to return to the village by bringing back all the burden horses that carried rice. While they rode the horse that had been ridden by a horde of his men La Api Sangia.
All the villagers were relieved to find back their treasure that had been brought by the gang of his men La Afi Sangia. But on the other hand, all residents of Kandunggu Village felt very worried if the event would be known by La Afi Sangia and would come to attack their village.
“You do not worry,”ucap La Mudu, “this village already has a very strong fortress. The fortress was the dozens of young men of this village who had possessed quite a high level of martial arts. Nevertheless, I assure you, that forever this village will be safe, because I already have a plan to end the human savagery named La Afi Sangia.”
After hearing the words and guarantees from La Mudu, all the residents of Kandunggu Village were relieved and happy. And even then. They are very grateful to La Mudu. They regarded La Mudu as their hero and god of salvation.
That night, after being at La Kalimone's house, La Mudu told him that tomorrow morning he would continue his journey. “I hope you and your friends downgrade the silat you have to other youths in this village.”
Kalimone stared at La Mudu's face fixedly. There was a feeling of not wanting to part on his face and his words, “Jawara where are you going? We really expect Jawara to continue to be here. We need Jawara. In fact we plan to make Jawara our leader in this village.”
La Mudu smiled and patted La Kalimone on the shoulder. “Honestly, I am also very happy to be in this village, in the midst of you my good friends, but I have duties and obligations that I must complete first. Don't worry, one day I will visit you here.”
La Kalimone is just a mangosteen. He can understand, that La Mudu is a champion, certainly has a duty and obligation to live that must be carried. Then he said, “Alright, Jawara Mudu. Although heavy heart to part with Jawara, but anyway I have to let go of the champion. But if there is time, later keep visiting here, look at us.”
“Sama-sama, Jawara. Likewise, we, especially my personal and my future wife, are very grateful to Jawara Mudu. And I on behalf of the entire village community give a lot of thanks to Jawara Mudu for all his services and kindness.”
“Yes, I received your thanks, Kalimone,”bala La Mudu. “And my one wish is upon you and all my other disciples, please educate the other youths in this village so that they may become strong and "unwilled" youths like you. If necessary, educate your brothers and sisters early on. The village that has its strong young men and "ngau", it is like a very venomous snake or a lion that fanged and clawed sharp and strong. That is the advice I get from my teacher.”
Kalimone nodded slowly then said, “Alright, Java. Book Jawara ready for me to do!”

As planned, when the second cock-cock sounded unpretentious, La Mudu had driven his steed eastward. The white-haired horse was deliberately prepared by La Kalimone for him to wear, which is a Babuju horse that is famous for its physical strength even though its body is smaller than a horse from the island of Sumba.
As the sun had risen to nearly half the celestial sphere, La Mudu had arrived at a region called Sape. In a restaurant located in a settlement called So Toro, La Mudu stopped by to fill his stomach which was already very rumbling.
The stall was quite crowded. The owners were a pair of narrow-eyed, white-skinned married men who were probably around their fifties. Seeing the face of the owner of the shop, La Mudu's mind immediately remembered his teacher, Dato Hongli.
At the food stall was also helped by a girl in her 20s who was white, narrow-eyed. She is the daughter of the shop owner. For the size of the village girl, the face of the girl is quite beautiful. Maybe because of that many men who come to enjoy the food menu at the stall.
When he saw his presence, the owner of the shop called the name of the girl as Meili to serve him.
