The Swordsman

CH2.10 Time to execute the plan

Within a few days, Ki Sasongko, Ki Harso, Ki Woko, Ki.Sumali and Ki Mahesa, riding Garuda Yaksa had reached the village of Polosan and made a furore in the village of Polosan. Residents ran away terrified to see a giant bird land in front of the yard of Ki Lurah Sumitro's house. Hearing the cries of the residents, Raden Sanjaya and Tejomantri immediately ran towards the courtyard. Knowing his master had come, Garuda Yaksa lowered his head in tribute to his master. Ki Sasongko and the others immediately came down from the back of Garuda Yaksa and made Tejomantri surprised and immediately knelt to pay their respects. Raden Sanjaya paid tribute to the five and hugged Ki Sumali.

"Teacher. What made the teacher arrive in Banon Sewu's country..?" tejomantri said while kneeling before Ki Sasongko.

"Aren't you Tejomantri one of my students..? How are you doing, son..?" ask Ki Sasongko.

"True teacher, I'm Tejomantri one of your students. I'm fine, Teacher. So what made the teacher come to this country..?" ask Tejomantri.

"The call from Raden Sanjaya, he asked me to help him solve the problems in the country of Banon Sewu." said Ki Sasongko.

"Raden Sanjaya..? Who is this teacher..?" tejomantri asked confusedly.

"Haha... My granddaughter always confused others with her identity.. Surely your student is not familiar with Raden Sanjaya's brother, but if with Jaka Pengasan surely he knows." said Ki Sumali.

"Ja... jaadi Jaka Pengalasan who has called you..? Ba. how can......... Aaahhhhh... young brother, let alone this charade..?" tejomantri asked in confusion.

"Sir Tejomantri.. Will master let master teacher stand outside..? While in my wife and mistress Jaka has prepared various dishes." said Ki Lurah Sumitro.

They also entered Ki Lurah Sumitro's house and continued their conversation. Raden Sanjaya explains everything about who he is and why he uses a pseudonym.

"So this young brother is the son of Prince Kusuma, my brother-in-law..? Then you're my own nephew, because your father and I are like brothers. I'm sorry for your father's death, son." Tejomantri said, hugging Raden Sanjaya.

Ki Sasongko recounted the incident that happened in the country of Kawi to Tejomantri which made him amazed to Raden Sanjaya. After telling each other and giving up longing, Raden Sanjaya told the situation of the Banon Sewu kingdom to Ki Sasongko and the others.

"Ki Mahesa, as the one who mastered the Book of Lembu Sekilan, I want to ask for your help to feel and find the existence of the Book of Bolo Srewu." said Raden Sanjaya.

As with the blood tread book, its existence can be known by people who control the book of Brajusti, the existence of the book of bolo srewu can be felt by people who control the book of cows. Each of these books is a counterpoint to the other books.

"If until the book of bolo srewu is found by Empress Mai, then the kingdom of Banon Sewu will fall into darkness." said Tejomantri.

"Well raden, but it took me at least two to three days to be sure the book existed. So please raden can be patient." replied Ki Mahesa.

Three days passed quickly. Ki Mahesa has discovered the existence of the sakti bolo srewu, which is stored in the storage room of the royal library and has not been known by Empress Mai.

"Raden. According to the sasmita I got, it was in the storage room, and there were many other books there. It looks like a college library belongs to the palace." said Ki Mahesa.

"Then what is our duty, sir..?" jarot and Pandu Bergolo.

"Pandu Bergolo accompany Ki Mahesa to find the book of bolo srewu and Jarot you supervise the blood axe headquarters in the village of Sidomukti." replied Raden Sanjaya

The next day before sunrise, each group departs according to the division of duties of the Sajaya raden. Tejomantri along with Ki Sasongko set out for the Thousand Flowers Inn, at least they needed seven to eight days to get to the auction place. Similarly, the Sanjaya raden group takes at least a week to get to the Pancer base.

Within a few days, the civilian groups assigned to take control of the reserve headquarters of the blood axe had reached their respective positions. Immediately they placed the dried straw that had been soaked in oil from the entrance of the headquarters to the room inside the headquarters. The straw is arranged in such a way that when the straw at the entrance is burned, the fire will spread into the headquarters. Furthermore, the civilian group stood guard around the entrance of the headquarters.

Six days passed since their departure, Ki Mahesa and Pandu Bergolopun had reached the royal city. They did not immediately head to the library in the royal palace college environment, but chose to study the situation and condition of the palace to determine what steps they should take.

"Brother Pandu should we first learn the situation of the palace library, whether outsiders like us can enter the library." said Ki Mahesa.

"real Ki.. As far as I know the front of the library can be entered by anyone. Most of those who enter there are soldiers and children of the top officials of the kingdom who want to know the history of the kingdom of Banon Sewu." said Pandu Bergolo.

"Now we try to go around first. Tomorrow morning we just go there." said Ki Mahesa.

They walked around the courtyard of the palace college where everyone could enter the place just to see the basic martial exercises.

Meanwhile Ki Harso and Ki Woko had also reached the royal city. The two of them stayed at an inn near the royal palace to make it easier for them to get information and supervise the movements of Empress Mai.

"Then what are our next plans Ki Woko..?" ask Ki Harso.

"We'll find the information at the diner across the street. Many soldiers eat there, there must be some information that we can get." said Ki Woko.

"alright... Furthermore, should we not infiltrate into Ki's palace..? I think we can also get a lot of information as well as the plans of the empress mai and the situation in the palace." said Ki Harso.

"Sabar Harso. based on the story of Ki Lurah Sumitro, Empress Mai has high magic. So we have to think through this plan carefully. We also do not know how high the power of Empress Mai." replied Ki Woko.

"Alright Ki.. Let's find the information in the restaurant first and think about how we plan next." said Ki Harso.

The dining house in front of Ki Woko and Ki Harso's inn was quite crowded. Many royal courtiers and warriors were eating in that place. They sit at a table in the middle of the restaurant so they can easily hear all the information.
