THE SOUTHEAST EARTH FIRE GOD SWORD
PART 04'S
LET'S go back to sixteen years ago...
Tanaru Village is a fairly dense village, located on the east coast of Sumbawa Island, which is located directly opposite Sangiang Island. The source of the livelihood of its citizens is sea. But they also grow crops and raise buffalo, horses, and goats. The vast and fertile savanna and rice fields that are behind the village, support every effort they make. So it is not surprising, if the village of Tanaru is one of the most prosperous villages in Babuju country at that time. And fishing technology for the size of the time was quite advanced in this village, resulting in abundant fishing, then supplied in the markets in the city of the king. Yes, peace and prosperity are truly endowed to all the villagers of Tanaru. The condition is also inseparable from the nature of the leadership of their galara (village head), Jara Tawera aka Ompu Mpore, who is very wise and intelligent.
Galara Jara Tawera aka Ompu Mpore recently blessed with a pair of dampit twins. Twins male and female. This was the first birth of his wife, La Mbinta Wura aka Wa'i Canggo, after they had built his household nipper for almost ten years. Thus, the birth of twins can be a gift that is very big and happy for them. Also, it is a happiness for the entire population of Tanaru Village. Because thus, the heir to the throne, their future leader had been born. The most awaited birth in a long time.
So to welcome the birth of the heir, Jara Tawera aka Ompu Mpore held a very lively celebration and party, which was met with great excitement by all his people, who were, also by all the heads of other village heads in Babuju kingdom. Even Ndai Rato (Baginda Raja) himself sent his special envoy to meet the galara invitation consisting of several Dato and Ncuhi. Therefore, there are dozens of buffalo and goats that are cut, as well as a variety of party attractions held. And the most attention-grabbing attractions all present are the attractions of Gantao and Lanca, two physical fighting attractions accompanied by drums, canes, flutes, and serunai. Various gantao and lanca champions across Babuju were invited. The party was planned to be held for seven days and seven nights.
. However, on the second night of the party event was held, the excitement in the happy atmosphere turned into a very sad disaster. Without the slightest wave and air, suddenly La Afi Sangia invaded the village that was partying happily with his men in large numbers. Whoever they were in the village and in the feast was mercilessly repented of in the least by La Afi Sangia and his men. The heart-rending screams of death pierced through the night sky. His life drifted in vain, and the corpses lay in awe of each other in appalling conditions.
"Stop the galara and his family! No one is left...!" shouted La Afi Sangia in a loud and despotic voice to his men, while continuing to slash his sword into the bodies of innocent villagers. And the commandment was obeyed by all his men well and without humanity. They were truly like fierce demons. The men in red-and-red uniforms are like a pack of tigers preying on weak cats. Because there was no resistance at all, as a result, Tanaru Village had been transformed into a killing field, into a village that was completely dead and extinct!
After the savagery was completed, La Afi Sangia and all his men after that also struggled with the loudest and boisterous laughter, it was as if they were attending a laughter show! But suddenly they stopped the laughter, because suddenly they were surprised by the cry of a baby. As commanded anyway, all of them simultaneously turned their eyes to the origin of the sound of crying.
"Oeeekk..oeeeeek..."
One of La Afi Sangia's men, named La Mbere Mbuda, stepped towards the crying baby. The baby was none other than the baby girl of the late Galara Tanaru. He lay beside the body of his mother, next to the body of his twin brother whose dragons had died
"This is one of the twin sons of the village chief, Dato!" la Mbere Mbuda said to La Afi Sangia without turning his head.
La Mbere Mbuda tries to flip the body of baby boy Ompu Mpore with the tip of his right toe. "It looks like it's past, Dato!”
"All right! Bring the baby girl. Before returning to the Island, you scorched the earth first this village..!" the La Afi Sangia.
The order was executed immediately. With only each of them flinging a series of fire blows, the entire house of the population was ravaged and engulfed in fierce fire. It only took a while later, Tanaru Village had completely razed to the ground, extinct with the smoke and flames left here and there. There is no life there. No more clutches, laughter, and the pulse of life. Everything was lost in the Angkara. Happiness became a tragedy, having been created at the eastern end of Sumbawa Island that night!
Keep in mind, La Afi Sangia is a martial world figure who flowed in black that is very feared at that time, the, both by the sealing champions with him and by the martial champions who flowed white. Fearing, of course because he has a scientific level that is very difficult to measure his height, in addition to because of his cruelty. He is a martial world, he is famous with the nickname of the Fire God of the Southeast. So great and cruel this man, so that he heard or said his name only the people in the southeastern islands at that time had creeped first. There are no friends for the Fire God from the Southeast and all his men, there are only opponents. Anyone who contradicts them must be punished and destroyed. And the annihilation of Tanaru Village, his dragons were only disappointed that he was not invited to the ceremony and the feast by the galara. A trivial thing. But it is blasphemy according to the mind of La Afi Sangia and all her power.
In fact, La Afi Sangia was once made to bend the knee by a narrow-eyed foreign swordsman in a very powerful match war. The narrow-eyed warrior who was none other than Dato Hongli could forgive him, because La Afi repeatedly worshiped for forgiveness and promised to repent. It turned out to be just a charade to escape death. Because after the Great Swordsman decided to retreat from worldly affairs and seclude somewhere that no one was able to track him, La Afi Sangia then returned to his disposition all. Even his character is more vicious than before.
Shortly thereafter, La Afi Sangia declared himself as the sangaji (king) of all warriors and schools, with the title La Dewa Afi, and made Sangiang Island as the center of his power. Sangiang Island at that time had really been transformed into a most haunted island. He also ordered his men to carry out piracy against any ships crossing the sea around the island. The ill-gotten wealth he piled on that single-mountain island. To maintain his power, La Afi Sangia also recruited very many tough young men to be educated into tough champions and then made his men. The defensive fortifications around the island were built as tough as possible. So that the oppressive forces of the Babuju kingdom always fail. Let alone reach the island and penetrate the fortress, instead they have been crushed first in the middle of the sea. This was not only once twice done by the Mbojo Kingdom, but very often, and even Sangaji Mbojo several times asked for the support of troops from neighboring kingdoms and pounded from all directions, but it can always be thwarted by La Afi Sangia with his troops! Thus.
