The Thousand Mask Warrior

The Young Tiger Warrior Kudangan

Dara Cempaka is no longer likely to be prevented from his desire to participate with Jayaseta to go inland. King Nio and the crew offered to go into the jungle with them.

Jayaseta became even more astonished. What has he done so that those around him dare to give help or help? With this he has caused many casualties. Every step he made seemed to give an effect that was not uncommon were bad things.

Of course Jayaseta refused. But whatever the power, he really will not be able to survive until the goal if he insists on refusing the help offered. Not because of the danger of enemies, robbers or scum in the middle of the road, but rather to nature as its opponent.

Jayaseta can't swim. He is not familiar with boats, rowing and things related to it. Meanwhile, Dara Cempaka clearly said that they had to walk down the river for a few days. Without any help at all, no matter how powerful she was, Jayaseta would easily have died on the road, drowning in the river or other unbecoming deaths.

Dara Cempaka is even wearing a male outfit that makes her look very different. Sheath cloth on waist, high headband, long sleeved buttoned shirt.

"Sister who will row our boat brother. But frankly, this will take a little longer considering the boat that we will use is smaller than the boats of the Sukadana royal entourage first. In addition, ... Uh, sorry, brother ... This is because, only the sister paddled," Dara Cempaka was shy to say, although Jayaseta was well versed in this.

"I told you, Jayaseta. Let me give you some help once again. If not in this situation, I will take you to that place myself, wherever you are. Let two of my crew come with you. If you're afraid of their safety, you can continue after a few days without them. Both will be waiting for you to come home where you agreed. Besides, I'm not going anywhere for long enough" Raja Nio told Jayaseta. He tried to sit on a couch with a body away from the word 'recover.' Even so, King Nio had arguably improved quite quickly, seeing the severe injuries he suffered.

It was too late for Jayaseta to feel displeased and unwell, as the two crew members of King Nio were suddenly ready with their clothes and supplies. Both of them looked very excited to help the young swordsman's journey. Jayaseta took a deep breath and exhaled hard.

Pagarruyung kingdom has stood on the land of Minang Samudra Malay island since 1300 AD when the land of Nusantara still Hindu. The first Pagarruyung king was named Akarendravarman. This great kingdom controlled many colonies on the Malay island such as the kingdoms of Siak, Kampar and Indragiri.

Unfortunately, just like other kingdoms in the archipelago, when Majapahit under Patih Gajah Mada who was fiercely expanding his kingdom attacked to the island of Malay, the, the kingdom of Pagarruyung must be willing to release its vassal states annexed by the Sultanate of Malacca and the Sultanate of Aceh. This is because the kingdom of Pagarruyung became weak over the war with Majapahit that occurred in Padang Sibusuk in the upper Batanghari River in 1409 and 1411 AD.

Within a hundred years after the reign of Ananggawarman who abdicated in 1411 AD, the religion of Islam began to affect the life of the people of Pagarruyung in almost all corners and parts, so that the kingdom of Pagarruyung turned into a Sultanate with Sultan Ahmadsyah as its ruler.

During the Pagarruyung sultanate, many members of the royal family, soldiers and people who migrated to many regions in the archipelago and abroad.

One of the nomads from the kingdom of Pagarruyung named Malikur Besar Hold Patih Sebatang Balai Serunga, who was a grandfather from the Sultanate of Pagarruyung wander by sailing to the island of Tanjung Pura. Datuk Malikur Besar and some of his followers entered a river groove in the interior of Tanjung Pura island and found an area inhabited by indigenous tribes of Tanjung Pura island known as the Daya tribe or tribe Landline.

Soon the Datuk was enamored with this village of the Daya tribe. A simple society but full of gotong royong and good cooperation, mutual respect and strong kinship.

Not to mention the rich food sources. From fruits in the forest, good quality wood for buildings and boats, rivers and lakes full of fish, forests full of wild animals and birds that are good to eat, he said, or the soil that grows a variety of vegetables is another reason for the grandfather's love with this place.

Long story short, after going through various problems, casualties and disputes, the Datuk finally managed to establish a small kingdom called Kudangan. In its development, the kingdom of Kudangan then inhabited the indigenous tribes who mingled, mixed and mated with the entourage of Grand Malikur Datuk from the Sultanate of Pagarruyung.

A warrior stood tall beside two boats containing seven soldiers and their followers. Apparently, even though he was a practitioner of canuragan science, this young man also had royal blood.

His eyes shone excitedly looking at the river current. As a bloody Minang but settled for a long time whether the offspring in Kudangan, the swordsman has a figure that can be said to be different.

He wore a typical Minang high headband and tied to form and resemble buffalo horns. He also wore black trousers with a gold thread pattern on his narrowed ankles, his waist wrapped in brightly colored silk cloth, but his chest was covered with a rigid vest made of bark as is generally the clothing of soldiers of the tribes inland Tanjung Pura land. There is a short do hanging on the left waist and two curved dagger blades tucked behind a leather belt on the front of his waist.

The young warrior had a good looks that was difficult to describe simply. His fashion shows that he came from a respectable family and was most likely blue-blooded. But the facial lines and the appearance of his muscles show the results of his hard training.

He looked at the river ripples on the banks, as well as the currents in the middle that were speeding up. He could not wait to welcome the arrival of the Thousand Mask Swordsman.

He had heard in advance that the famous swordsman would be present in the land of Tanjung Pura. With all his commandments, the swordsman could find credible news that the Thousand Mask Swordsman would pass through this river in the next few days to head to a place in the interior.

He still has a lot of time to head off the group and challenge the warrior from Java to fight right on the banks of this river field.

But in the meantime, he will build a camp for him and his followers stay for the next few days.

He will prepare everything for the best reception of the character he has been waiting for too long.

He has even created his own nickname, the Young Tiger Swordsman Kudangan.

His two eyes twinkled imagining his meeting with the swordsman later. He sat on the edge of the boat leisurely waiting for the servants and soldiers to set up camp, cook, and clean up one thing and another.

The Young Tiger Warrior Hut pulled out a pair of daggers with curved blades like the claws of the tiger, played them, stood up and mounted the horses.

Before long his body was washed away in a silat-style exercise. His movements are very fast. Jumping, jumping, clumping as well as playing the bottom moves, such as units or low attacks. All attacks are so dangerous that they seem to be aimed at killing the opponent.
