Next Day
In the backyard of the pendhopo, Prince Abhiseka and Wisanggeni held a sudden meeting with parents and young people in the pondhok. They would devise an offensive strategy, with the main target of freeing the king and empress. Even some young girls, ready to sacrifice themselves. They would disguise themselves as comfort women, and would look for a way so that they could enter the royal palace. Prince Prakosa, who likes to spend time with comfort women, will be an easy target for them to approach.
"Most likely, later tonight the people of Mount Jambu padhepokan will already be in this city, and they are led by fighters from the Jagadklana Trah Asoka. Wisanggeni had also sent a notice to the Bhirawa Clan, to send his people to reclaim the kingdom from Prince Prakosa. Now prepare yourself..!" Prince Abhiseka started the meeting by building the fighting spirit of the people there.
"Both Prince, some young men who are currently in another location, have also planned to send a counterattack to Prince Achala. We will inform them, so that our attacks can be well organized." one of the old men responded to the words of Prince Abhiseka.
"Most importantly in my opinion, we must release the king and empress first. If the two of them had been freed, Prince Prakosa's men would not have had any hostages to stop our attack. Later in the afternoon I will sneak into the palace, some of the guards on guard are not residents of this city. They were students from the Tapak Geni college. I can take advantage of this, to claim to be the bodyguard of the Laksa kingdom." Wisanggeni.
Prince Abhiseka drew a stone on the ground. The man described royal patterns, and places that were safe for them to enter. There are several parts in the kingdom, which have been rarely touched by people in the palace. Through the place, it can be used as an initial landing place if going to attack. The people nodded their heads, a sign that they understood the words spoken by Prince Abhiseka and Wisanggeni.
Suddenly there was a commotion from the front of the pondhok, all who were there looked at each other and stood guard. Not long after, two people seemed to be panting and running towards them.
"What's the matter Rahmanta.., just being chased by a ghost this early in the morning." One of the parents intercepted the man. It turned out to be their man in charge of the observation at the entrance towards the city of Laksa.
"Nor Wak.., we have just seen the arrival of several tens of horsemen. We were not able to recognize them, because there was no symbol or identity that showed their identity. If not wrong, by noon they would have reached the center of the royal city." the man named Rahmanta reported his observations, and,
Hearing the man's words, Prince Abhiseka and Wisanggeni looked at each other, then smiled and nodded their heads. But they did not cut the conversation, because they wanted to find out more. Suddenly the man named Rahmanta looked at Prince Abhisheka, and knowing who the young man smiling at him was, the man immediately knelt down in front of Prince Abhisheka.
"Thou shalt be my Prince.., who had been blind could not recognize the Prince.." the man immediately complained to Prince Abhiseka.
"Have you woken up.., at this time our position in this place is the same, you also do not need to worry, the cavalry is a help for us, you are also not worried, soon they would arrive at this place." smiling and shrugging the man's shoulders, Prince Abhiseka explained the presence of the cavalry.

"Thank you for your friendly welcome to us. I am Asoka, who led them to come to this place, as Wisanggeni and Prince Abhiseka ordered." Asoka immediately introduced herself to the people who welcomed their arrival.
"We should be thanking Asoka. Let me take you to where Prince Abhiseka and Den Bagus Wisanggeni are. Others, please rest first in the place we have prepared for you." Rahmanta immediately invited Asoka to go inside.
Without many questions, Asoka immediately followed the young man's footsteps. In the middle of the pendhopo, Wisanggeni looks smiling to welcome his arrival,
"Rest first Asoka, tomorrow we will just start the movement. Recover your condition and stamina after a long journey." Wisanggeni asked Asoka and the students from the Padhepokan of Mount Jambu to rest.
"Well Good Den.., there's no need to care so much about us." Asoka then sat down and laid her body on the mat. Several young women served hot drinks, and snacks to Asoka. Unwelcome, Asoka took a cup and then began to chug the drink.
Seeing that Asoka was about to rest, Wisanggeni stood up and left Asoka alone. Without saying goodbye, Wisanggeni walked out of the pondhok. After making sure no one saw him, Wisanggeni jumped and ran through the forest.
After a while Wisanggeni arrived at a place not far from the border fortress of the royal palace. The men try to find a gap to be able to enter the dungeon. Seeing someone dressed as a guard, who looks like he will urinate, Wisanggeni follows the person. When the man had entered the empty land, Wisanggeni sent a direct attack to the man's nape.
"Clap.., dukk.." without making a sound, as soon as Wisanggeni's attack temporarily stopped the man's blood flow, the man's body fell to the ground. Not waiting for long, Wisanggeni immediately came to the person, and without saying much, Wisanggeni's hands took off the clothes worn by the guard,
Not long after, Wisanggeni was already wearing the guard's clothes as a catchment of the clothes he was wearing.
"Hmm, fortunately not so narrow clothes that person on my body." murmured Wisanggeni with a smile. Not willing to waste a lot of time, Wisanggeni immediately came out of the empty land, then walked like a guard. The man headed towards the underground guards, and it had just been a while Wisanggeni walked over...
"He you... come here!! The task as a guard is not even to wander the streets to and fro. Take this food to the rooms down there!" unexpectedly, a thick-bodied man called and asked Wisanggeni to deliver food rations to the prison room. Without waiting for the repetition of the command, Wisanggeni immediately approached the man, and without speaking immediately raised the ration that asked to be delivered.
