The Downfall
Well, I'm prety sure that youre waiting for the continuation of my story.Well, settle down and I'll carryon with the story. Okay as in the last post know I inform you all about how did Rentap Libau retaliate against the Rajah Brookes.well theydid manage to destroy James Brooke's fort at Nanga Skrang but James Brooke didn't go down without a fight. What he did was even worse. James Brooke went and destroyed Rentap's village at Sungai Lang by burning down the houses in the Village. Rentap had no other choice but to retreat to Bukit Sadok where they built a fort in order to defend themselves. at that time, Rentap had the support from all the villagers and they called him "Raja Ulu". He led the tribe at Bukit Sadok for one month in defending the fort built there. Unfortunately, James Brooke managed to exploit Bukit Sadok and attacked Rentap and he managed to retreat to Entabai but sadly, his retaliation ended in 1863 while he was setting the strategies in order to fight back the Rajah Brookes.
