ARYA MAHESA
Secretly, Not Silently

"Yahanda, that's what Lord Rangku wants to say."

Tengku Arif, the Sultan of Serambar State located at the western end of the Mainland, was very surprised by the news brought by his daughter.

He did not expect that the old swordsman whom he deeply respected, decided to return to the world of shortness. .

But the most surprising thing is, Sri Ratna Sari also said that Rangkupala lost with just one blow, from one of the female warriors.

Not only that, even when the incident Rangkupala bounced with two Sultans and one patih at the same time.

Thinking about it from anywhere, that incident made no sense to my Tengku Arif. In really know the greatness of Rangkupala. Because, the warrior who nicknamed the corner, was his teacher.

"Sri Ratna Sari, don't you see wrong? Is it possible that one of them is a female swordsman named Lindu Ara?"

Sri Ratna nodded quickly. "Ayahanda would not believe it. But, those three women are indeed dangerous."

"Did you really see those who defeated Mr. Rangkupala?"

Sri Ratna shook her head again. "No, I didn't see it."

"If it was Lindu Ara, then maybe I would believe it. But, four earth warriors in one strike, it was impossible even if it was Lindu Ara."

"Daddy, have you ever heard me lie, just once?"

Tengku Arif withdrew his Breath and shook his head. "You're my daughter, I'm well educated. You wouldn't say if it didn't exist."

"The three female warriors, defeated three hundred holy warriors from the town of Barus, North Mainland. Not only that, when the fight was almost over by then the three had already lost their consciousness."

"So in the end, they still lose?"

"No, they slaughtered everything."

Tengku Arif could not hide his astonishment, as this story made no sense to him. "Don't you say they've lost their consciousness?"

"Yes, we all saw Mr. Rangkupala there too. That's why I said the three are really dangerous."

Feeling her daughter tell him something so absurd, Tengku Arif became a little impatient. "Sri Ratna Sari, explain what she means?"

"The three of them continued to fight even though they were unconscious and continued so until all the enemies were crushed to pieces, when all were really dead slaughtered, they were still standing unconscious, they were still standing unconscious, with their bodies red with blood."

Sri Ratna Ayu recounted it with a passionate tone.

Tengku Arif gulped. But, the letter he now held, was indeed from his teacher.

Again he saw his daughter. If you think back, why did his son lie to him. Because, he really knows the character of his son.

Putting aside his son's story that sounds more like a fairy tale, still the letter sent Rangkupala to him, contains a very important message.

He thought for a long time, if Rangkupala really wants war, why not from the first. However, in his letter emphasized one thing more and it was very urgent.

Before long, he nodded his mark solidifying his decision.

"Train Leman, prepare the troops. We're going to Litapa?"

Patih who had been waiting for the decree, was immediately surprised to hear it.

"Bags, Sultan ... We're going to attack Litapa?"

Tengku Arif shook his head. "No, ... We'll help Gonggo in Litapa, after that ... We're going to Malka. My teacher will be there."

Patih Leman's eyes widened. "Why are we going to Malka?"

"That's where we're going to fight!"

****

In accordance with what Bujang paju Putra Gonggo Sultan Litapa promised, a letter arrived in a way that made Rangkupala surprised.

Some kids came to take him. That, of course, hints that how precarious the situation is in Litapa, so to send a letter alone, Gonggo must send a small child to do so.

"I didn't think Litapa was no longer Litapa. Where was the loud voice of Gonggo that I knew when we were young."

Karpatandanu felt a little disappointed by Gonggo's decision to do that.

But once they read the letter. At that moment Karpatandanu changed his mind.

"Bavudio ... ! Mr. Rangkupala, after this we go straight to Litapa. They all need us there."

"You know we also sent a message to Tengku Arif. He'll definitely take up arms. Their country is neighbors. Like you and Harupanrama."

"But, what if Tangku Arif isn't there?"

Rangkupala answered immediately. "He will go there, for I know very well the character of my own disciples."

Everyone knows that Tengku Arif has a past with Rangkupala. Only, only today he admitted the Sultan of the land of Serambar, his student.

"What Jemba said is true. We must fight according to plan. The Gonggo you know, let Tengku Arif help her."

"All right, if so. We just need to wait for news from Harupanrama. And all will be bright. After this, we're going to Malka and finish what they started."

"Your karpatandan, aren't you surprised? Looks like, we forgot something here."

At that time Karpatandanu felt there was nothing they missed. Despite much going on, everything goes almost according to plan except for the fact that her daughter is now lying down fighting for her life.

"My Lord, what makes you wonder? Doesn't it all go according to what we planned?"

Rangkupala shook his head. "No, this is not appropriate. I just realized it."

"Jemba, what is it? I also didn't feel anything wrong and looked suspicious."

"We're discussing magic weapons and throwing weapons. However, where is the Oldenbar union. Aren't they also in this Land?"

At that moment, his eyes were both widened. They had completely forgotten about this one more foreign power in the Western Mainland. And this really surprised both of them.

Everyone knows too. Unlike the Nippokure which was indeed a war force, the Oldenbar Union was masked by a trade union.

Speaking of power, both can be said to be comparable. However, the Oldenbar guild is very Cunning and Slippery.

There's no way they don't know what's going on in this Land. Moreover, if Nippokure used their weapons, then it was certain that the union knew exactly what was going on.

"Jemba, why did you just say it?"

"Salendra, I'm different from you. Twenty years I was in the palace and never came out, Nippokure never again came to Oldenbar. Of course you're the ones who should be aware."

"As we know, this is the greatness of Oldenbar. Silence is like calm water, when everyone moves like a ripple. Silence is not just silence. They must be quiet."

The three of them stood up. As they planned this war, surely Oldenbar planned how to make the most of the situation and its impact on them.

"Salendra, how far is the Oldenbar center of Jampa, from this fortress?"

"If we ride, it will take two days."

Rangkupala shook his head. And look at Karapatandanu.

"Send each one to your country and the Threshold Country. Tell whoever's there, to strengthen the guard."

They finally realized and believed that, One more foreign party had taken the role, long before they were aware.

"Damn, this is what I'm afraid of!"
