The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Pros and Cons
After King Wijaya Kusuma decided to appoint Arya as the Grand Commander and Bayu Aji as the Prime Minister, preparations were rushed at an incredible pace. The soldiers worked tirelessly, exerting extra effort to ensure that everything was ready for the coronation ceremony the next day.However, the king’s decision sparked controversy among the court officials, especially those who had served the palace for a long time. The opposition believed that the ruler of Jaya Buana had been unfair in his decision. They argued that the position of Grand Commander should have been given to someone who had significantly contributed to the kingdom, rather than to a young man whose origins were unknown.A group of officials gathered in a lavish house to discuss the matter. They planned to protest King Wijaya Kusuma’s decision at the coronation ceremony itself.Before they knew it, the night passed swiftly, and morning arrived with the warmth of the sun illuminating the world.The hall where the coro
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Defense
"Why did I choose Arya for the position of Grand Commander? Because he has a pure heart and always wants to be useful to others. Arya also has intelligence far above your average minds. And third, Arya's martial arts skills surpass all of you—even me and Bayu Aji!" King Wijaya Kusuma's voice thundered through the hall.The room fell into complete silence. No one dared to make a sound, not even the faintest breath, for fear of disturbing the king’s presence."Do you think I made this decision without careful consideration? For those who question my judgment, I now give you the chance to challenge Arya. If you can surpass him in all three aspects, I will appoint whoever defeats him as the Grand Commander!"Kertapati and his like-minded officials fell silent, unable to utter a single word. This was the first time they had heard King Wijaya Kusuma speak with such firmness and authority."I never expected my subordinates to be so narrow-minded. It turns out that all this time, you have onl
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Heading to the Duchy of Jayakarta
The second goal had yet to be conveyed to his father, but he was certain that his father would support whatever he intended to do.On the seventh day after Arya's inauguration as the Grand Commander of the Jaya Buana Kingdom, the soldiers assigned to retrieve Sanjaya finally returned to the palace.When the soldiers arrived at the Sacred Staff Sect to fetch him, Sanjaya was initially reluctant to leave for the palace. He clung to Arya's past words, believing that the handsome young man would personally come to get him.However, after the soldiers explained that Ratnanasari’s beloved had already been appointed as the Grand Commander and showed him Arya’s official uniform as proof, Sanjaya finally agreed to go with them to the Jaya Buana royal palace.One of the soldiers then escorted Sanjaya to the hall to meet Arya. However, the handsome young man was at the town square with Ratnanasari, watching the continuation of the tournament, which had reached the round of thirty-two. Sanjaya d
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Meeting with Caraka
Four soldiers guarding the gate watched their arrival with sharp eyes. Even when the two dismounted their horses, the scrutinizing and suspicious gazes from the soldiers became even more intense.From head to toe, the two young men were thoroughly examined, fueling the soldiers’ suspicion.Arya was slightly surprised by the soldiers' reaction to their arrival. Based on his quick analysis, something must have happened inside the Jayakerta duchy."What is your purpose for coming here?" one soldier asked suspiciously."We are visiting a relative, sir," Sanjaya quickly replied. Following Arya’s instructions, since he was more familiar with the people of the duchy, he was given the freedom to answer any questions from the soldiers."Who are you visiting?""Mister Kartosuro. His house is in the alley near the duchy’s palace." Sanjaya answered calmly and firmly.One of the soldiers narrowed his eyes at Sanjaya’s face. He found it strangely familiar, but he couldn’t recall where or when he ha
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Arya's Suspicion
While keeping his ears open for any visitors, Caraka answered the question directed at him, "I got the information after I accidentally overheard a conversation between two of Sidharta's special guards who happened to be eating at my place.""What information?" Arya asked again. He was extremely curious about the continuation of Caraka's story."So, the search for Sanjaya has resumed because a fortune teller told Master Sidharta that a young man would come and eliminate him and also Duke Sudaraksa." Caraka's voice was so low that only the two young men could barely hear it."That's why Sidharta hired two warriors to guard him," Caraka continued."So, Duke Sudaraksa knows about this prophecy?""He should know," Caraka replied briefly."Strange. If Duke Sudaraksa knows, then the soldiers must have..." Arya suddenly fell silent."What's wrong, Arya?" Sanjaya asked, confused."The soldiers know that you’re already in this duchy. Especially since earlier, you mentioned wanting to visit Unc
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Caught
Suddenly, the index finger of the Kartosuro house guard pointed at Arya after confirming his identity. Six soldiers and another guard immediately shifted their gaze in the direction of the pointing finger.“Damn it!” Arya muttered under his breath before quickening his pace as the six soldiers moved toward him.His suspicion that Sanjaya’s arrival had been discovered turned out to be true. Moreover, Caraka’s statement that the search for Sanjaya had resumed was also proven correct. Now, he needed to return to the eatery as quickly as possible to inform Sanjaya.But something unexpected caught the handsome young man’s eyes. The eatery where Sanjaya had been hiding was now tightly shut. Even when he knocked on the door, there was no response.Arya’s suspicion toward Caraka grew. He suspected that the middle-aged man had betrayed them and informed Sidharta’s men that Sanjaya was hiding in his establishment.“Damn it!” Arya cursed in his heart again. He had no problem fighting off all of
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
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The Twin Warriors of Tiger Valley
"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

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
The Four Pillar Crater Lake
"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 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
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
A Cunning Plan
Two luxurious horse-drawn carriages moved in succession, surrounded by thousands of soldiers providing protection. One carriage carried King Dharma Kusuma, Prince Purbaya, and Mandalasura, while the other was occupied by three elders from the dark sect.The villagers along the route watched in astonishment. Such a grand procession of Cakrabuana Kingdom’s troops was an extremely rare sight, leaving them bewildered.Speculations quickly arose among the people, and their thoughts converged on the likelihood of war. Judging by the direction and destination of the troops, many assumed that a civil war was imminent.Inside his opulent carriage, King Dharma Kusuma grinned broadly, imagining himself seizing full control of the kingdom left by his late father."It won’t be long before you can avenge yourself, Purbaya. And you’ll also get to claim those two beautiful women as your own, hahahaha!" The king’s loud laughter filled the carriage.Prince Purbaya only responded with a small smile. His
