KNIGHTS OF MANAH VALLEY
Movement (3)

Meanwhile on Demon Island, on a building more akin to a palace, but slightly smaller, Cakara had been awaited by the other four swordsmen, who had been waiting for him, coupled with one person who seems to be a member of the kingdom and always uses the services of one of them.

Of these five Swordsmen, Cakara was the most respected by the other four members. That is because, Cakara can always give a way out or an idea that builds the reputation of the Five Swordsman.

“For so long you're Cakara!” exciting one of the small and short bodied swordsmen who are none other than Bayu Amerta.

“Sorry brother. I have a lot of business!” sahut Cakara lowered his head to pay his respects to the gathering. “Just get started soon. I have great news for you!”

Cakara said that the Five Swordsmen were offered to join Ki Badra. By joining them, of course, the ambition of uniting the three kingdoms will be easier.

“Of course we don't have to bother anymore to become a hit man!” cakara explained. “We will apply high taxes and some of the people's proceeds are given to the kingdom. We are just a member of security alone, without having to switch places to become a cramp!” he continued while bending two arms in front of his chest.

“Sounds like I'm interested!” Bayu Amerta answered first without a second thought. “I'm tired of hiding from royal warriors or even warriors stronger than me!” continued with a fiery tone.

“As a woman, I also agree!” sahut Agni Ageng, the only female of the other four swordsmen. “Because under the auspices of a stronger person, my safety will be guaranteed!”

“I also agree!” welcome Cayapata without much comment.

“Alright! If you agree, I'll come with you too!” timpal Samudro Aji who rarely speaks. “With the unification of Yava Country under one leader, of course the taxes generated are getting bigger. Without even working, we will still live from the income of the people!”

“How about you? Prince?” cakara asked one of the members of the kingdom who turned out to be Prince Tirta Banyu—the first son of the King of Great Officers from the Kingdom of Indra Pura.

“I'll ease your steps—!”

Tirta Banyu suggested they better move when the Big Match, because all circles are gathered in that place. And it made it easy for their steps to cripple three kings at once.

“How? Are you interested in my plan?” exclaimed Tirta Banyu smiled cynically.

“Alright! I'll tell the leader!” sahut Cakara approved the plan of Tirta Banyu. “It looks like our meeting is quite up here. For more information, we will talk about our next meeting!”

“When the Big Match takes place, prince?” asked Agni Ageng holding her chin.

“About three months from now!” tirta Banyu replied firmly.

“Alright! I'll pull over at the Mahendra Mountains south side!” sahut Agni Ageng chuckled. “It looks like the place is good for robbing hahaha!”

“Three more months, if the leader approves our plan, we will ambush during the Great Match in Indra Pura Kingdom!” close Cakara.

Thus the meeting of the Five Swordsmen who agreed to join the one-eyed man. They disbanded and moved from one place to another, moving unnoticed by the government.

Back to the Young Swordsman's Match in the kingdom. The round of four began immediately, the spectators were excited to watch the next fight. Even more than the previous two rounds. They are willing to jostle into the match area to see their respective heroes.

Seen Nawang walking towards the audience bench, the girl deliberately came alone to the royal capital because she wanted to watch young warriors compete.

One of the reasons he came to this place was, because he heard the villagers talk that the Manah Valley escaped the top four.

Not to forget Sati who came all the way from the village also wanted to watch the Manah Valley compete in the match. The boy arrived with his mother one day after the second round was over.

“Kak Nawang!” sati shouted to Nawang who was walking alone not far in front of him.

“Who son, do you know him?” The Holy Mother asked in astonishment.

“Hai, Sati. How are you?” Nawang approached Sati and her mother.

“Propar Sati well brother. How's Nawang? Ohh, yes brother, this is Sati's mother,” Sati said as she introduced her mother to Nawang.

“But brother's news is good too. Ohh, aunty, I am Nawang,” replied Nawang kissing the back of the Holy Mother's right hand.

The meeting of Nawang and Sati has its own meaning. Because they both managed to escape from a swarm of strange creatures that kidnapped them. The attitude of the two of them also changed after what happened to them, and it was all thanks to the help of the Valley of Manah while in the Aisle of the Soft Realm.

Sati also took her mother's left hand and took Nawang's right hand to find a seat in the arena.

Soon they got a second row from the front.

Near the seats of Nawang and Sati were the seats of the participants of the match. Both participants who have escaped and participants who have fallen to simply watch the fight and support their friends.

Mara and her mother also sat near Nawang's entourage, just a few benches apart.

King Brahma had sat on his throne accompanied by royal officials and soldiers standing guard. The participants of the match also entered the area and sat on the participants bench.

“Kak Valley!” sati and Mara shouted at the same time, when they saw the Manah Valley entering the match area. Followed by the Holy Mother, Nawang and Mother Mara looked towards the Manah Valley.

“Loh, do you know Kak Valley?” Sati asked Mara.

“Loh, you also know Kak Valley?” Mara asked Sati.

The two of them got to know each other and told how the two of them got to know the Manah Valley. Not except Nawang who also participated in the conversation of two children of that age, who were telling the greatness of the Manah Valley.

“Hai Sati, Nawang, Mara, aunty, all of you,” Manah Valley replied by waving at them.

Nawang tried to approach the Manah Valley which had been sitting not far from his seat. Passed through several other participants and immediately sat down to the left of the young man.

“Hei Valley, How are you? I heard you got through the last four?” exclaiming Nawang rained down on Manah Valley with a few questions while bringing his body closer to the young man.

“Emm, yes Nawang, I passed the top four. Good news, how are you?” said Manah Valley a little groggy because his body was taped by Nawang.

Ni Luh who was sitting to the right of the Manah Valley seemed to turn his gaze towards the other with his slightly reddened face.

“Ehem, ahem, hoi Jayadipa, do you know in a moment there will be a big war,” Wanapati said interrupting the talk of Manah Valley and Nawang while raising his eyes on Ni Luh.

“Ohh, really Wanapati. Isn't Manah Valley who will win big hahaha,” added Jayadipa teasing his friend.

Manah Valley was misbehaved and only scratched his head that was not itchy while directing his gaze at Ni Luh and occasionally turning to Nawang.
