The Sword Of The Fire Dragon An Unexpected Surprise
Arya and Sanjaya pretended to be shocked upon seeing the soldiers emerge from the back door of the abandoned house."Forgive us, Sir. We have done nothing wrong," Arya pleaded."Silence! We have orders to capture both of you. Resisting means choosing death!" one of the soldiers snapped."W-We surrender, Sir. But please, don't hurt us," Arya said, placing his hands behind his neck and kneeling.The handsome young man's actions were immediately followed by Sanjaya, who did the same."Hahahaha... You are in no position to negotiate. Whether you'll be punished or executed, that’s up to Master Sidharta."Arya was waiting for the soldier to mention Duke Sudaraksa’s name, but it seemed they were strictly keeping their leader’s identity a secret."Quickly, seize these two brats and take them to Master Sidharta’s house! We’re going to get a hefty reward, my friends! Hahahaha!" ordered one of the soldiers, laughing loudly at the thought of the gold that would soon fill his pockets.Four other s

"Why did you join those two savages, Uncle? Why?" Sanjaya asked in disbelief. He never expected that his own mother's younger brother was involved in the massacre of his family."Join them, you say? Hahahaha...!" Kartosuro laughed loudly.Sidharta and Duke Sudaraksa also burst into loud laughter in response to Kartosuro’s words."You might not believe it, Sanjaya, but your dear uncle is the mastermind behind your family's massacre. He planned everything and even requested Lord Duke to back him up in case anything went wrong," Sidharta explained."Is that true, Uncle? Why? What did my father do to deserve such a cruel scheme from you?" Sanjaya still couldn't believe what was happening. "Father was always kind to you.""Kind, you say? You have no idea how your father treated me, Sanjaya!" Kartosuro snapped, his voice rising, leaving Sanjaya stunned."Your father never treated me like a brother—he treated me like a worker! He constantly humiliated and insulted me, no matter how hard I wo
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Shameful Death
"Your title isn't scary at all, old man. It’s only good for scaring little kids!" Arya chuckled softly, playing a psychological game to provoke his opponent's emotions.Suliwa couldn't contain his anger. Without hesitation, he lunged at Arya, who stood not far from him. The black staff with a tiger-head handle in his grasp shot straight toward Arya’s solar plexus.With a slight shift of his body to the side, the handsome young man dodged the attack, the staff narrowly missing him by just four fingers’ width.Frustrated that his initial attack was easily avoided, Suliwa pulled back his staff and swung it toward Arya’s exposed waist. However, Arya’s experience fighting four masters of the dark sect, all possessing formidable martial skills, allowed him to evade the strike effortlessly.Arya leaped and grabbed a sword lying nearby. He immediately switched from defense to offense, aiming a swift strike at Suliwa’s left ribs.Realizing his ribs were the target, Suliwa attempted to parry th
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Strange Technique
Arya withdrew his fingers from Suliwa's body. He then kicked the old man's lifeless corpse with enough force to send it flying.After ensuring his opponent was dead, Arya's eyes scanned the surroundings. As far as he remembered, there was still one more of Sidharta’s guards he had to eliminate.Right on cue, Paringga rushed toward him and launched an attack. He could not accept that his friend had died at the hands of this young man.Wielding a black staff with a tiger-head hilt, Paringga bombarded Arya's defense with a relentless barrage of attacks.Even though he was barehanded, Arya, the handsome young man, gradually managed to push Paringga back until the latter was forced into a purely defensive stance.---Meanwhile, inside the duchy palace, a man dressed in black ran hastily into the hall."My apologies, Duke Sudaraksa..." The man paused, struggling to catch his erratic breath."What is it, soldier? Do you have important news?" Duke Sudaraksa asked, a hint of anxiety in his ton
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The Death of Paringga
"I will kill you, boy!" Paringga's voice was deep and menacing.Arya gripped his sword once more. He wanted to test the sharpness of his claws against the claws of the tiger-headed man."Enough talk! Let's continue the fight."Paringga growled. His black claws extended slightly, sharp and deadly. He planted his stance firmly before launching an attack."Die!" The tiger-headed man lunged forward with a fierce strike.Arya dodged to the side as the opening attack aimed for his head. However, the follow-up strike targeted his stomach. The handsome young man swiftly leaped backward several steps to evade.Paringga was relentless. He continued his assault without pause, his speed and agility resembling that of a tiger hunting its prey."His speed keeps increasing," Arya muttered. He adjusted his own speed, determined to end the battle quickly.With a rapid counterattack, Arya struck back, giving his opponent no chance to retaliate.Paringga grimaced in pain as multiple wounds opened across
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Duke Sudaraksa's greatest fear.
"Alright, I will ask the same question. How is the development of the duchy you are leading, Duke?""Everything is fine, Prime Minister.As long as I have been the Duke of Jayakerta, everything has been running normally. The people are also quite prosperous," Duke Sudaraksa answered firmly.Prime Minister Bayu Aji furrowed his brows. The answer given by Duke Sudaraksa did not align with what he had just seen. "Now tell me, what are the parameters of prosperity for the people of Jayakerta, according to you?"Duke Sudaraksa fell silent. He did not know how to answer the question posed to him.A mocking smile was clearly etched on Prime Minister Bayu Aji’s lips. "Do you mean to say that the many vagrants and beggars along the roads of the duchy I passed earlier are a sign of prosperity in your opinion?"Duke Sudaraksa’s mind was racing as he faced the second most important person in the Jaya Buana Kingdom, who was known for his intelligence."Those vagrants and beggars are not native res
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The Arrival of King Dharmakusuma
In line with what Duke Sudaraksa felt, Sidharta experienced the same. His fear continued to grow, and the specter of the death penalty danced before his eyes."I also do not wish to kill the soldiers of the Jayakerta duchy, Prime Minister. My purpose here in helping Sanjaya is solely to seek justice for the massacre of Sanjaya's family by these two—Sidharta and Duke Sudaraksa." Arya looked at Duke Sudaraksa and Sidharta alternately."Sanjaya has lied, Prime Minister. I am not as accused by the Grand Senopati. The perpetrator of Sanjaya's family massacre is Sidharta, Prime Minister." Duke Sudaraksa desperately sought an escape.Sidharta was stunned in disbelief. He felt forced to become the scapegoat for deeds they had both committed."I never thought you would only seek to save yourself, Sudaraksa! Yet you played a role in the massacre of Sanjaya's family. You even took the largest share of Sanjaya's father's inheritance.""Silence!" shouted Prime Minister Bayu Aji. His voice thundere
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The Challenge of War
"Let's go inside!" invited King Wijaya Kusuma, receiving nods from the two beautiful young women.After a soldier opened the door, the three of them stepped into the grand hall.King Dharma Kusuma and Prince Purbaya stood and bowed in respect as the ruler of the Jaya Buana Kingdom approached them."My brother, Dharma, how have you been? It has been a long time since you last visited me," said King Wijaya Kusuma, welcoming his younger brother."I'm doing well, Your Majesty," replied King Dharma Kusuma, his face expressionless. He was still holding back his emotions because he had yet to see the young man his son had mentioned.Prince Purbaya glanced at Princess Laras and Ratnasari in turn. His desire to possess both of them grew stronger. The two women were equally beautiful and had figures that could make any man swallow his saliva.King Wijaya Kusuma walked toward his throne. His mind was still uneasy, eager to know the real reason his brother had come to visit him."What brings you

Rain of Arrows
The three grandmasters of the dark sects, whose pride had been severely wounded, stepped out of the carriage one by one. They watched as Prince Purbaya entered the carriage before turning toward their respective sect members.Less than twenty minutes later, all the members of the three different dark sects separated themselves from the ranks of the royal soldiers. They remained in place, waiting for further instructions from their grandmasters regarding their next course of action.From the carriage window, Prince Purbaya smiled broadly, pleased that the dark sect members had distanced themselves from his troops. Now, in his mind, not only would the path ahead be secured, but the number of dark sect members would also be significantly reduced.“Are you sure your plan will work, my son? We still don’t know if Jaya Buana’s royal forces are observing us ahead,” said King Dharma Kusuma.Prince Purbaya furrowed his brows. “I am acting based o
Search Operation
King Dharma Kusuma looked out the window again. He saw another soldier kneeling with his head bowed. “Speak. What do you wish to report?”“My apologies, Your Majesty. Ahead of us, we found the corpse of a man. Upon inspection, I discovered that he bore a seal identical to that of the Cakrabuana royal soldiers, though smaller in size,” reported the kneeling soldier, presenting the seal he had brought.King Dharma Kusuma furrowed his brows. “Give me that seal,” he said, intrigued.A standing soldier took the seal from the kneeling soldier’s hand and handed it to King Dharma Kusuma.Without delay, the king immediately recognized it. “This is the palace spy’s special seal. How many bodies have you found?”“There is only one, Your Majesty.”King Dharma Kusuma was perplexed. He distinctly remembered ordering seven spies to depart earlier to observe the current conditions around Jaya Buana’s capital city. He suspected that som
King Dharma Kusuma's Concern
Afterward, Rengga poured horse blood around the five corpses to make the scene appear more dramatic.Once the plan was completed, Rengga instructed the soldiers to prepare and roast the slaughtered horse's meat for their meal that day."Now, we just have to wait for their arrival," he said, then walked toward a large tree for shade.Seconds turned into minutes, and minutes into hours. The long wait gave the soldiers time to rest and let their horses graze.However, they remained vigilant. Some soldiers stood watch atop the hill, keeping a close eye on the surroundings.As night fell, a chill crept over the land, cooling the earth that had been bathed in sunlight all day. Rengga and Ratnasari climbed the hill to relieve the guards on duty. Their skills, far superior to those of the regular soldiers, made the switch necessary. Moreover, both Rengga and Ratnasari possessed the ability to see in the dark. The bright moonlight that illuminated
The Next Plan
"Were you looking for me?" Rengga chuckled softly behind the six men who were about to attack him.Cold sweat instantly seeped from the pores of the six men. They were shocked and never expected that the person they intended to kill possessed such exceptional martial skills."When did he pass us?" one of them asked in confusion."I don’t know either," replied his companion beside him, his knees trembling as fear started creeping into his mind."I only need one of you alive!" Rengga said softly, but his voice carried an overwhelming intimidation.Before the six men could even turn around, Rengga’s fists had already landed on their bodies. Five of them collapsed onto the ground, lifeless, as their only breath was forcefully taken away.Rengga had deliberately spared one of them to extract information. But then he remembered that the large-built man who had attacked him first was still breathing.His gaze shifted,
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
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
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
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 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
