THE SUN GOD SWORD
Die with pride
One day after, the demon powder that Empu Pelak had promised to Sungsang Geni was finished. The powder was black, it did not smell like a carcass like before and it was certain that Sungsang Geni was forbidden to approach it.
“Your firearm can trigger spark, this powder will explode and make us die.” Said Empu Pelak.
Sungsang Geni did not argue, he was quite familiar with the words. But now he was very curious about the results obtained after desperately trying to make the thing.
There were 5 large vats of demonic powder at the moment, Sungsang Geni was only allowed to see it from afar. Black in color and indeed in powder form, Sungsang Geni had never seen a powder like this before.
Empu Pelak picked up the demon powder that had been wrapped with 5 wide pandan leaves, there was an axis attached to that thing. If seen once cross the object is not dangerous, it even looks like a worthless object.
“Geni, let's show the results to those who don't trust me.” Said Empu Pelak, he then looked at his subordinates, “This will be a lesson for you guys, keep working and make as many bows as possible!”
Sungsang Geni agreed, the two of them ended up going to the Snake Valley warriors who were practicing a match. If you think about it, the war will probably happen tomorrow.
Not far from the Snake Valley, the Devil Kelewar Group must be devising a plan and recuperating. Sungsang Geni was quite certain of that thought.
“Look at Empu Pelak will show you the thing he made from human excrement!” a Swordsman gossiped.
“Hahaha. Whahuh? Wrapped with leaves, did he make it into a cake to offer to our enemy tomorrow. Then they died of poisoning. Silly plan.” Then they laughed out loud.
Sungsang Geni only fell silent annoyed, it was the trait that the young man hated the most. He hoped that the weapon Empu Pelak created managed to silence their mouths, and make it a lesson.
“Alright, you may have been insulting from yesterday to now, thinking I was crazy. But today I will show you the greatest work in history.” Empu Pelak then tied a bundle of demonic powder to the arrowhead.
“Before that, I want you!” Empu Pelak pointed at Siko Danur Jaya, “Tree attack there with your strength, I want to test this thing whether it is able to silence your mouth.”
Siko Danur Jaya became furious because of those words, she did not accept being denigrated like this in front of other warriors. After all, he was the greatest young man in the Snake Valley at the moment.
Siko Danur Jaya accumulated a large amount of energy in the needle in her hand, then released it and made a large enough explosion, making the tree hollow as a calf due to its internal energy.
“Bagimana? now it's your turn mad master.” Siko Danur Jaya smiled with pride.
Empu Pelak smiled slightly, then turned to look at Sungsang Geni, “Can I ask for your fire spark?”
“Of course!” said Sungsang Geni, then burned the wicks embedded in the satanic powder package.
“Now I present to you, my future weapon.” Said Empu Pelak but in reply to the laughter of the warriors there, “Sial, why the fire died. Geni please turn it on again!”
After the Axis caught fire, creating a spark, Empu Pelak took off his arrow bow. And immediately the arrow shot and stuck to an arid tree next to a large hollow Siko Danur Jaya tree.
The huge explosion happened instantly, shocking anyone there, and if any animal passed by it would definitely run up the algal ridges to his surprise.
A huge tree fell down with a burning fire, all eyes almost popped out of its petals. And Empu Pelak became the winner of everyone's gossip there. “This is the satanic powder I am talking about!”
Sungsang Geni could hardly believe it, that strength was even equivalent to the peak of a matchmaker. It seems that the concept of deep energy will be broken by Empu Pelak, and of course everyone will be great with that thing.
Everyone who was doing meditation immediately rushed out, thinking the Demon Bats had come attacking. Sabdo Jagat looks the most panicked among the great men.
“What explosion is it,?” he yelled.

Empu Pelak continued his plan, the demon powder had been finished but he still made something with 8 big wheels. He would create a stroller that transported dozens of arrows carrying demonic powder.
The stroller was big enough, it took two people to push it. But it could unleash 50 arrows with demonic powder in a single strike. The range was indeed not too far, only 200 meters if it was on the plains, but that range was more than enough to earth the scorched Demon Bats.
Empu Pelak made it 4 pieces, and he named it the demon carriage. The weakness is long enough to fill the arrows into the hole of the shell, but the weakness can be overcome by firing arrows in turn.
They carried the carriage very carefully towards between the Snake Valley and the Demon Bats. Sungsang Geni will attack them tomorrow night, indeed the energy in them tomorrow has not been fully accumulated, but it seems that so is the Devil Bats.
Sungsang Geni had devised several strategies, on a large paper on a bamboo table at the moment. Everyone was watching closely, including Sabdo Jagat who had finished from meditation.
There are several points that must be considered, Sungsang Geni and Cempaka Ayu, Rati Perindu and Siko Danur Jaya will attack on the left side of the Devil Bats.
Sabdo Jagat along with the Earthly Dumbness Master and his 10 disciples will destroy the right of the Demon Bat Group.
While Empu Pelak and the Blue Nettle Master will fight from the front with arrows carrying explosives, devil powder.
And lastly, Master Tiraka and the archer troops would be on guard in the forest, numbering only 20 people but more than enough to kill the remnants of the fleeing group.
After he finished writing some plans, Sungsang Geni stood up for a moment and stared at everyone there intently.
“If you want to pray, pray today. Because tomorrow you will take your country back, tomorrow you will take what they have taken from you, the lives of the treasure family. Get everything back to the war tomorrow night. And if you die, then die with pride, tell your ancestors. 'we die in battle, we die for taking back our country.”
Everyone who heard, shook his entire soul. Some people who were a little scared suddenly had the courage to fight. And of course even if it was just a short lecture, what Sungsang Geni said was all true.
“You heard!” Sabdo Jagat shouted, “Give us our lives, give us our swords, give us our arrows for tomorrow's battle. And if it dies, then die with pride.”
