KNIGHTS OF MANAH VALLEY
Take Over

“Give up! You're already surrounded!” exclaim one of Badraya's subordinate black swordsmen while twirling his sword.

“It's not that easy!” sahut Kadaka swept his gaze towards the side door of the fence outside the pendopo and smiled.

Kadaka and his entourage begin to get cornered and are nearly crippled by the Red Scorpion Group members. However, Soka and Soma's entourage came on time, they managed to turn things around and excel in numbers.

Not to give up, the Red Scorpion Group added to the strength of the other black warriors who came from behind the pendopo. Fighting again occurred inside the village pendopo complex.

Many of the two sides were victims, either dead, or wounded by the slash of the sword. It is still not seen who will be the winner in the fight, considering that both camps are still equally strong in defense and attack.

Some time passed, the White Tali Swordsman group had come and immediately ambushed from the porch behind the village pendopo.

“Uncle Janabadra!” shouted Kadaka who was greeted with a smile of his entourage.

They united forces and managed to surround the black flow warriors under Badraya right in the middle of the village pendopo building. One by one the Red Scorpion Group members dropped their weapons and knelt in surrender.

Outside the village's pendopo courtyard, a fierce fight still ensued between the Manah Valley and Badraya. Badraya slashed his sword blindly by emitting a yellow light from each of his slashes.

This time Badraya tried his luck by darting to the roof of the village pendopo building. The man repeatedly slashed his sword towards the Manah Valley which darted around the place to disrupt Badraya's concentration.

The more intensively Badraya attacked the Manah Valley, the more the stamina of the man decreased. There was not a single successful attack on the body of the Manah Valley, the young man moved to the spot until it looked only as bright as black light.

Badraya's attack destroyed the walls of the pendopo fence, pendopo roof even almost hit the Kadaka entourage in the village pendopo.

“Badness!” geram Badraya raised his head. “Fight manly!”

“Alright! If that's what you want!” Manah Valley came quickly, landed a blow on Badraya's stomach, then moved away to the roof of the pendopo to take a swing and prepare for the next attack.

Badraya is further cornered due to an unexpected attack from the Manah Valley. The young man came again from another corner and fired a kick right into Badraya's face, then darted to the roof of the pendopo building and again attacked Badraya.

And landed one open palm blow on Badraya's left chest. Badraya staggered back and propped up his body with his sword. Blood dripped from the corner of his lips, then rubbed with the man's left hand.

“Do you want to give up!” Without waiting for an answer from the Badraya Valley Manah came from the front and again landed a single open palm punch right on his opponent's chin.

Badraya was thrown a few steps back, the sword slipped out of his grasp and his body stopped floating after crashing into one corner of the village's pendopo wall. His body was still moving, but his breathing was a little heavy, it seemed like Badraya had fainted.

“You should deserve more than this!” the Manah Valley.

However, no one expected and no one thought, Lesmana ran towards Badraya and stabbed the man who had killed his father with his sword.

“What are you doing, Lesmana!” exclaim Manah Valley with a face full of disappointment. “He's helpless, why did you kill him?”

“He deserves it!” sahut Lesmana looked at Badraya's face with relief.

“Revenge will not solve the problem!” The Valley of Manah holds the shoulders of Lesmana from behind. “If anyone does not accept Badraya's death, they will take revenge on you!”

“And if only you were killed by someone who did not accept Badraya's death, Samaruti might not accept your death either!” The Valley of Manah held both shoulders of Lesmana from the front and saw the face of the young man. “Then Samaruti will take revenge on the person who killed you!”

“It will be an endless chain cycle!” close Manah Valley.

The Valley of Manah left Lesmana and asked the students of White Spear College to herd the Red Scorpion Group into the holding room located behind the Eyang Kabalani duty house.

Shortly after, they had arrived at a building with iron bars on its front. To their surprise, officials and village officials were being held in the detention room.

“Kehead Kadaka!” One of the disciples faces Kadaka. “Village officials detained in back room. What should we do?”

“What! Release them immediately!” sahut Kadaka and take the Manah Valley to the back room.

Kadaka asked one of the Red Scorpion members to give him the key to the holding room. Judging from his sturdy body, it seemed like the man with the mustache was one of Badraya's right hands.

Initially, one of the group's members was reluctant to give the lock to the holding room. However, after being forced with a slight mischievous threat, in the end one of the group members handed him a key from his inner pocket.

Now, the village officials who were languishing in the detention room were removed from the place. And changed with the members of the Red Scorpion Group who entered the holding room.

“We'd better bury Badraya properly and clean up the entire pendopo area!” exclaim Manah Valley which is approved by all who are in that place.

They worked together to remove the debris of the pendopo and the fence wall that was destroyed by the Badraya attack.

***

The next day, Pendopo Tambak Village has returned to how it was. Looks like the village officials have been working followed by the courtiers who carry out their duties.

“What will you do next, Lesmana?” exclaim Kadaka who sits in a circle with Samaruti and Manah Valley in a paseban not far from the village pendopo.

“I'll be back to Red Rose College with Samaruti's brother!” replied Lesmana clenched her right hand. “I am sure, Red Rose College will rise and support the security of Kabaman Duchy with White Spear College!”

The words of Lesmana made Samaruti, Kadaka and Manah Valley throw a smile from his face. It seemed that the young man had learned a lot from the bitter incident that had befallen him.

“And you are Manah Valley, do you still want to follow the match in the kingdom?” Kadaka turned towards the Manah Valley.

“Of course. Although my steps are slow, but I will not stop!” sahut Manah Valley.

“Our place will always be open for you, Manah Valley!” Lesmana holds the shoulders of the Manah Valley. “We are very grateful for your help!”

“Alright, it looks like I have to continue my journey!” The valley of Manah rose from its seat. “Dear yourself well!”

Manah Valley shot up, jumped onto the roof of the pendopo and disappeared in the thick rain of banyan trees beside the house of duty of the village leader. The young man again continued his journey towards the center of the kingdom and hoped not to be late in following the match.
