The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The Dragon King's Eyes
For the residents of the capital city, there was no other option but to obey the order to leave. Aside from valuable coins and a few sets of clothing, they could bring nothing else. Everything was left behind, including livestock and household furniture.Prime Minister Bayu Aji and Commander Argananta watched the soldiers work with serious expressions. Occasionally, they shouted orders whenever they noticed inefficiencies in the soldiers' tasks.Commander Argananta, with his extensive experience in defending against invasions from rival kingdoms attempting to conquer the Sastrajingga Kingdom, carefully explained the necessary steps to take. He applied his past experiences to assist Prime Minister Bayu Aji in handling the impending attack from the Cakrabuana Kingdom.Inside the palace, the atmosphere was just as tense. Gone were the joyful laughter and merriment that once filled the halls before King Dharma Kusuma declared war.King Wijay
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The Radiance of the Dragon God's Wrath
Hydra shifted his gaze and looked around. His eyebrows knitted together as he noticed the greenish aura of natural elements in the area rapidly moving and entering Arya’s body."How is that possible? What is Arya doing?" he muttered, though his voice was still audible to Wira Atmaja.The dragon, who had taken the form of an old man, was just as shocked. "That young man is absorbing the natural elements here? How can that be?"The two of them exchanged disbelieving glances."He’s actually using the natural elements to suppress the energy explosion that could destroy his body," Wira Atmaja said, shaking his head slightly."I also didn't expect Arya to do that. He must have realized that his body's endurance is limited. That’s why he’s trying to prevent the fusion of those two energies within him from exploding," Hydra responded.He then recalled his past battle with Arya in the forest. "Arya has always been quick-thinking

"We will answer, but after that, you must answer my question. How about that?" said Hydra."Alright." Arya nodded."First, you have mastered the Dragon King's Eye. You will no longer struggle against warriors who are faster than you. However, for now, there is a time limit on its usage because you have yet to fully refine the Fire Dragon energy within your body," Hydra explained."As for the beam of light that shot from your eyes, we are also curious as to how you were able to wield it," Wira Atmaja added.Arya raised an eyebrow in confusion. "What exactly have I mastered?""The beam of light from your eyes is a power that belongs only to the Dragon King. We call it the Dragon God's Wrathful Gaze," Hydra answered.Arya could only remain silent, furrowing his brow. No wonder the impact was so terrifying, he thought."But there's something you must know, Arya... If you are not facing a truly formidable enemy, never use it.
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The Arrival of Rengga
"Don't ask too many questions...! Now you must train the martial arts you have just acquired, Arya. Learn to control your strength so that when you use the Dragon God's Wrath on Earth, it does not cause catastrophic destruction," ordered Hydra.Arya could only nod and then began to focus his mind. Slowly, a reddish aura of energy began to seep out of his body.As Arya resumed his training, the long journey of the Cakrabuana Kingdom's army had entered its sixth day. It would not be long before they reached the vast mountain range that marked the border between the Cakrabuana Kingdom and the Jaya Buana Kingdom.While awaiting the arrival of the Shadow Devil Sect members, King Dharma Kusuma ordered his soldiers to set up tents at the foot of the mountain for rest.Upon their arrival at the mountain's base, a dozen soldiers quickly erected a massive tent specifically for King Dharma Kusuma and Prince Purbaya. This tent was set up first, surrounded by
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Brief Plan
"We should talk at the palace, Brother. There is much to explain about the situation that is about to unfold," she said."That's true, Kisanak. It’s best we discuss this at the palace. Your arrival may bring fresh air to this kingdom." Prime Minister Bayu Aji responded to Ratnasari’s statement.Rengga observed the numerous soldiers working hard to dig the ground. His brow furrowed as his instincts told him that something significant was about to happen."Is there going to be a war?" he asked with a hint of emphasis.Prime Minister Bayu Aji gave a slight smile. His mind recalled Arya’s words, which stated that Rengga possessed intelligence above the average, and now he had proof of it."Come, Elder... let’s discuss this at the palace; it will be more comfortable," Prime Minister Bayu Aji invited.Rengga smiled and nodded.Before the three of them left for the palace, Prime Minister Bayu Aji assigned the supervision of the work to a senior soldier.The initial impression Rengga displaye
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Departure of the Archer Troops
Rengga once again examined the dry parchment spread across the table, stroking his beard, which was beginning to grow fine hairs."We don't need too many, Prime Minister. Three to five hundred archers at each point will suffice. We rain arrows on them, then retreat back to the capital city.""I understand, Elder." Prime Minister Bayu Aji no longer had any doubts about the intelligence of the man who would replace Arya as the Grand Commander. Even he himself had not considered such a strategy as Rengga had proposed.The discussion continued. This time, Rengga spoke little, as he felt the ambush plan they had devised was already in line with his own thoughts.The conversation lasted for half a day. Suddenly, a scout rushed into the hall, slightly out of breath. Dressed entirely in black with a yellow cloth tied around his arm, the scout knelt before King Wijaya Kusuma, paying his respects."What report do you bring?" asked King Wijaya Kusuma."Forgive me, Your Majesty. The enemy troops
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Spreading Teror
After sending off the Archer troops at the city gate, Prime Minister Bayu Aji hurried back to the palace.The newly appointed Young Commander, who had been chosen without having to complete the tournament, walked alongside him toward the soldiers' barracks, still within the palace complex."Birendra, order all soldiers to go out and help finish setting up the traps!" commanded Prime Minister Bayu Aji to Young Commander Birendra.The thirty-seven-year-old Young Commander pressed his palms together in front of his face and nodded slightly."As you command, Prime Minister, I will carry it out," he replied.Prime Minister Bayu Aji gazed at the thousand soldiers diligently training on the vast open field. They were practicing encirclement and breakthrough strategies, the hallmark tactics of King Girindrawardhana.Iron shields, as wide and tall as a man's body, were firmly gripped in the soldiers’ hands. In their right hands, they held
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Rengga's Action
A few moments earlier, Ratnasari and Rengga had already begun their activities before the sun rose to illuminate the earth. The two of them scouted the area, looking for the safest and most strategic spot to launch an attack.In a situation like this, Rengga was forced to think hard. Before him stretched a vast open field, which at first seemed advantageous. However, the lack of cover for his troops to release their arrows safely made him rack his brain even more.After discussing with Ratnasari and weighing various considerations, they finally decided to move farther from their initial position.After an hour on horseback, they discovered a small hill that was not too high. From its peak, they had a clear field of vision, and it would provide an excellent vantage point for the archers when launching their attack."This is the most strategic place to attack them, Ratna. But the problem is, we don’t know if they will pass through here or

Sarirejo Duchy
Arya’s suspicions turned out to be correct. That morning, the village chief, along with several villagers, came to the inn where the young couple had spent the night. Among them was the girl who had been assaulted by Kelana Sura, now in the comforting embrace of a middle-aged woman.But they had to face the disappointment of not meeting the two heroes. The innkeeper told them that the couple had already left the village before sunrise.Meanwhile, the two figures the villagers of Sekar Sari were searching for were now far away, riding swiftly toward Sarirejo Duchy, which was only a day’s journey from the village.Several hours later, just as the sun was dipping toward the western horizon, Kelana Sura and a dozen of his men finally arrived at Sarirejo Duchy.Duke Wongsonegoro was furious when he saw his son in such a pitiful state, missing his right hand. The rotund duke cursed and swore, condemning the one who had severed his beloved son’s hand.In front of him, a dozen men knelt with
Leaving the Village
Arya handed the two pouches of coins he was holding to the young woman. “Give one pouch to your employer, and the other is for you.”The young woman was stunned in disbelief. Being saved from the cruelty of those men was already a priceless blessing, and now she was also receiving a pouch of coins that, to her, seemed like a fortune.“Just take it. Give the money to your parents,” said Ratnasari, noticing the girl’s hesitation in accepting Arya’s gift.“Thank you, kind sir. But how could I possibly repay the kindness you both have shown me?”Arya gave the young woman a warm smile. “If your parents are still alive, you can repay us by being devoted to them. And don’t forget to show kindness to others. The smiles of happiness from people you help are sincere prayers sent your way. No one you’ve helped will pray ill upon you,” he replied.“Now go home! We’ll handle things here,” Ratnasari added, continuing Arya’s words.“Alright, kind lady. Once again, I offer my deepest thanks for all y
Severe Punishment
The man who had just swung his sword was shocked when his attack hit nothing. It was clear that the young man hadn’t moved an inch even though the blade was only a handspan away from its target.He turned around when he heard a mocking voice behind him.“You—how did you get over there?”“Hahaha… What a foolish question from someone with such low skill. You and the rest of you should realize just who you’re dealing with,” Arya replied, deliberately boasting in front of them so they would understand that there’s always someone stronger above.The handsome young man turned his gaze to his lover.“Ratna, finish them all! I don’t want to dirty my hands with their filthy blood right now!”“With pleasure. There’s no place on this earth for those who disgrace and violate women!” the beautiful girl grinned, revealing her fierce side.Without another word, Ratnasari swiftly attacked one of the men and snatched his sword. Her claw strike landed precisely on the man’s neck, killing him instantly
The Busy Village
Half a day’s journey had passed since Arya and Ratnasari left the capital. Without realizing it, their footsteps had carried them into the evening.As the sun dimmed and prepared to set, the couple arrived at the first village they encountered. Two entrance gates made of stacked bricks stood tall, as if to welcome their arrival. Nearby, a large signboard stood next to one of the gates.Although the sun was fading, the village activity did not slow down. Dozens of bamboo torches, their flames dancing in the wind, lined the village streets—placed in front of each house or building.People bustled about—men and women, old and young alike—signaling that life in this village was far from quiet. Added to that were carts drawn by horses and oxen, one by one filling the roads.Arya shook his head. Of all the villages he had visited, this was the first where he witnessed such a unique custom.Vendors lined the streets, eagerly offering their goods to anyone passing by their stalls. Shouts and
A Mother’s Blessing
Arya lifted his face. He froze when he saw Ratnasari already inside his room, standing and staring at him sharply. One thing confused him—how would he explain himself to his beloved now that his charade had been exposed?Much like her son, Queen Dyah Pitaloka was also at a loss for words. Although Ratnasari’s act of barging into someone else’s room without knocking was impolite, she couldn’t bring herself to be harsh toward her future daughter-in-law.Ratnasari, in truth, felt guilty for not knocking first. Especially since Queen Dyah Pitaloka, who had always been like a mother to her, was inside the room. But on the other hand, had she knocked, she wouldn’t have discovered that Arya had been pretending about his memory loss all this time.“I apologize, Your Majesty. I didn’t know you were here. If I’m disturbing you, I will leave at once.”“Stay, my daughter-in-law. Since you already know, I will explain everything,” Queen Dyah Pitaloka replied.<
The Unveiling of the Deception
On the journey back to the palace, Prince Suryalaksana was deep in thought, trying hard to figure out how to foil Prince Dewalaksana’s plan. He was so focused that he didn’t even notice Prince Bimalaksana trying to talk to him.“Why are you so quiet, Surya?” asked Prince Bimalaksana, giving his younger brother a light tap on the shoulder.Prince Suryalaksana snapped out of his thoughts with a start. “What is it, Brother Bima?”Prince Bimalaksana stopped walking. “What’s on your mind, Surya? Don’t let Brother Dewa’s words confuse you.”“What do you mean, Brother?” Prince Suryalaksana frowned.“You’re my brother. We grew up together—I know exactly how you think, Surya.”“I don’t understand what you’re getting at,” Prince Suryalaksana said, scratching his head slowly.“Come on, Surya, stop pretending. I know you don’t agree with Brother Dewa’s plan. You just went along with it to keep him happy, didn’t you?”<
The Cunning of Prince Dewalaksana
In the midst of his despair, Prince Dewalaksana’s eyes caught sight of Commander Argananta walking into the training ground.The three princes looked at him in surprise. Why was Commander Argananta approaching them? What news did the commander of the Sastrajingga kingdom’s army want to deliver to them?Commander Argananta had expected to find Prince Dewalaksana there with Prince Bimalaksana, but he hadn’t anticipated that Prince Suryalaksana would be with them as well. A flicker of surprise crossed his mind, as Prince Suryalaksana was known to be a loner.But he quickly brushed off his surprise. After all, they were brothers, so it wasn’t too strange that they were spending time together.“What brings you here, Uncle? It seems like you have something to tell us,” Prince Dewalaksana asked curiously.Commander Argananta smiled warmly. “Indeed, I do have something to tell you. Actually, His Majesty ordered me to deliver this message to you a
Bitter Reality
King Dharmalaksana glanced at Arya. He had actually hoped that his youngest son would speak up and offer his opinion. But instead, Arya didn’t even seem interested in what they were discussing.From the conversation he overheard between his father and Commander Argananta, besides the Purareksa Kingdom, two other kingdoms suspected of planning a rebellion were the Candipuro Kingdom and the Swarnabumi Kingdom.Among the three, the Swarnabumi Kingdom was the largest. Arya remembered well when he was six or seven years old, the Swarnabumi Kingdom had tried to attack and conquer the Sastrajingga Kingdom, but the kingdom led by his father was still too powerful; in the end, Swarnabumi had surrendered and become a vassal kingdom.Throughout the discussion, Arya didn’t say a word. Not because he was unwilling to share his thoughts, but because neither his father nor Commander Argananta asked for his opinion. Yet, for him, the key points were already clear just from listening.The handsome you
A Rebellion Plan?
“Believe it or not, but the truth is, your brother Jayalaksana has played a big role in saving your parents. You can ask Commander Argananta to confirm this. Or if you’re still doubtful, you can ask the soldiers who escorted us yesterday,” King Dharmalaksana continued.Prince Suryalaksana scratched his head softly. He then recalled Prince Dewalaksana’s words from before, saying that the leadership of the Sastrajingga Kingdom would eventually be handed over to Jayalaksana. That was why, even though he was usually quiet and not a schemer, he ended up being influenced.But he couldn’t reveal that now to his parents. He decided to keep that secret with his two elder brothers.“I’m done here. I’ll return to my room now. Father, Mother, I ask for your leave.” Prince Suryalaksana bowed respectfully before leaving his father’s private chamber.After their third son left, King Dharmalaksana and Queen Dyah Pitaloka also exited the room. The king had specifically requested to meet Dewi, the youn
