The Way Of The Ruler(English Version)

Seeing the arrival of Danadyaksa and Gajah Mada, Agha who was holding a roll of paper and sat on his throne, welcomed them and ordered several servants to clean his private room.

Danadyaksa and Gajah Mada were quite pleased after being greeted by Agha. They knelt down and greeted Agha according to the ethics of subordinates.

"Your Honor, Danadyaksa is facing."

"Your Majesty, Gajah Mada is here."

Seeing them kneel, Agha invited them to stand up. Now Agha awaits the arrival of ministers Kavi and Jovic.

Jovic and his wife were watching their first child learn ki from one of his friends, and was surprised by the arrival of an old man he knew.

"Ah ... Mr. Chen, what on earth are you here for?"

"Jovic I got an order from Minister Kavi that he got from His Majesty. His Majesty requests your presence in the palace now, to discuss your new position "

"Well, I received a decree from His Majesty. Mr. Chen"

After getting the Word from the King, Jovic immediately gets ready to meet the King and leaves his wife with his child. Jovic goes to the palace with Chen.

Minister Kavi was in his residence ending the lesson he gave to a young man, and he immediately went out to the palace

"General Gajah Mada, have you familiarized yourself with the environment in your residence?"

"Thank you for asking, Your Majesty. I am used to the residence that you provide."

"Then do you know and observe the state of our military"

"I have observed the military power of this kingdom, and asked Minister Danadyaksa several questions"

"That's good, then give your opinion about our military"

Through observations made by Gajah Mada, he felt that the Agrapana royal military was weak and the infantry did not have a diversity of professions, equipment that was classified as too low an standard cavalry.

Hearing the thoughts of General Gajah Mada which was very in accordance with the current military situation, Danadyaksa as the minister of war could not be ashamed. He also felt that but he could not do anything because the Agrapana kingdom had just suffered defeat from the Kingdom of L'orchuin and claimed many victims. and caused King Asoka to die. how could Danadyaksa not be ashamed, the entire military force of the Agrapana kingdom only amounted to 4,500 even nearly equaling the size of the mercenary army.

Agha smiled wryly at the thought of Gajah Mada and saw Danadyaksa who bowed his head looking embarrassed. Agha could not blame the Danadyaksa minister or King Asoka because it was a tragedy, moreover he heard rumors saying that the L'orchuin royal army also received a heavy loss even one of their generals died even though it was nothing compared to the loss received by this kingdom.

"Yes, General, this is the military situation that we have. Not only is the military disadvantaged, our people also suffer because of the food problems caused by the war. Fortunately, the kingdom's supplies can solve the food problem. But we cannot counterattack the Kingdom of L'orchuin in soon"

Gajah Mada smiled at the King's words, even though he was cruel when giving punishment. Gajah Mada can still feel the feelings of compassion from the King for the people who make him happy to serve this King and Gajah Mada is also curious about the power possessed by the Kingdom of L'orchuin.

"Uncle can you tell the troops that we have at the moment"

Danadayaksa provided an explanation of the troops that belonged to the Agrapana kingdom. The troops of the Agrapana kingdom had three types, the first was an ordinary infantry with a total of 3000, the second was an archer with a number of 1000 and the last was a cavalry with the smallest number of only 500. of all the troops only cavalry consisted of veterans troops while others are still classified as fresh blood. Today the cavalry unit is the only veteran force owned by the Agrapana Kingdom .gha asked Danadyaksa and Gajah Mada to train them so that they can become elite troops.

Even though Agha already knew the military condition of his kingdom, he still felt sad after hearing it directly from Danadyaksa, before he thought that the Agrapana kingdom had a strong military so that he could expand the Agrapana region, but after he found out his situation he buried the thought, moreover with the position owned by the Agrapana Kingdom, a vulnerable location because it is flanked by 4 forces on all sides.

The strongest power is in the south of the kingdom. In the south of the kingdom of Agrapana is the territory of the Kingdom of Castellania which has a strong military. The number two strength in the north of the kingdom there is the territory of the kingdom of L'orchuin led by King Mormzok Bloodarm, the King who is known to be fierce and strong who able to conquer the various strongest orc tribes and make them as their own. the third is in the east of the kingdom there is the Hyob Union, the union between the goblins they are classified as weak in individuals but they have a strong ability in technology and they always take diplomatic steps before the war, so they were arguably quite weak. The last one in the west of the kingdom there was a gathering place for bandits and mercenaries, they could not be said to be weak or strong they were classified as unpredictable and unstable.

Agha knows it all after he observes and seeks all information on the location of the kingdom from the map and the minister Kavi.

Danadyaksa had known all the information so he was normal when Agha discussed the topic in their discussion. Mada's face frowned when he learned the location of the Agrapana Kingdom, he was not too worried about the kingdom of L'orchuin and Hyob Union. Mada's face was worried about the Kingdom of Castellania , especially at this time the Kingdom of Agrapana was in a weak condition. Besides Castellania Gajah Mada also paid more attention to troops in the kingdom, because they were more dangerous than Castellania. Where could they launch an attack or not at all that made Gajah Mada must pay more attention to them than others .

"Minister Danadyaksa, do we have reserve troops?"

"Reserve troops?"

Danadyaksa was silent with the question given by Gajah Mada. He once tried to make it but Raja Asoka did not support him too much. And the reserve troops that he had made also followed King Asoka to go to war against L'orchuin.

After Gajah Mada found out that the reserve troops of the Agrapana Kingdom had died on the battlefield, he could only suggest to train soldiers to train soldiers owned by the kingdom at this time. He also suggested that a military conscription be held for the people of the youth.

Gajah Mada advised to hold military conscription so that the kingdom has a reserve troop quota and can add military strength and form new troops.

Agha agreed to the advice given by Gajah Mada and he would make an official order regarding compulsory military service, after the main meeting was over. Andadyaksa also felt that the proposal given by Gajah Mada was in accordance with his thoughts, nodding his head.

Upon the arrival of Minister Kavi and Jovic in the throne room, they saw Minister Danadyaksa, General Gajah Mada, and Raja Agha discussing important matters. Seeing the arrival of ministers Kavi and Jovic, Agha stopped the discussion.

Minister Kavi and Jovic feel ashamed of their delay in facing the King, especially seeing King Agha and the others have started the discussion.

"Forgive our delay, Your Honor."

"It's okay. Let's go to my personal room, I want to discuss important matters concerning this kingdom."

A tone that was like an order came out of Agha and was heard by the four of them.

"Yes, Your Honor" Danadyaksa answered accompanied by simultaneous answers from three other people.

Agha and the others go to Raja Agha's private room.

"Princess, let's return to the kingdom"

The figure of a middle-aged man looked at a graceful woman who was pensive and seemed to think of something. The woman who heard the man in front of her speak and persuade her to return to the kingdom, only frowning.

"Let the princess, your father has sent a letter asking the princess to return"

After learning that his father asked her to go home, the woman agreed, and returned to the kingdom with the middle-aged man
