The Thousand Mask Warrior

The Thousand Mask Warrior
First Part Battle - Wooden Shield



Punyan jumped and kicked the enemy's shield so that the opponent was thrown several spears away and hit the trees behind him. The thrust was so hard that the clash with the tree trunk broke the enemy's backbone. The two attackers on his left and right who appeared suddenly attacked with spears. Punyan lowered his head and raised his shield, brushed off the two spears.


With an unusually agile movement combined between a bird and an ape, Punyan swept the legs of one opponent to the ground, then again jumped and sprung his do to his other opponent.


Some fingers of the attacked person are broken until the spear falls, and the skull of his head is split open, broken open with the tip do Punyan. Meanwhile, the opposing soldier who fell because his feet were swept by Punyan tried to get up, but too late. Punyan lowered his head to slash at his unprotected shield legs. Blood spilled from the wound.


It was in that sting and pain that Punyan roared, jumped again and slashed his upper arm. After that the Punyan attack was unstoppable again so that the enemy's back and shoulders were torn.

Jayaseta was attacked by four men at once. They were armed with spears and spears, and they held shields in their hands. The two warriors holding the do twirled around him, and the four of them also stepped around Jayaseta.


Jayaseta then saw flames billowing in the air from the back of the village.


Cempaka Dara!


He's conscious. Jayaseta smells of trickery here. Then he won't linger. Just when one person decided to try stabbing him with a spear while running forward, Jayaseta put his profound energy into the leg.


He jumped as high as the enemy's head and tracked it down. The sound of skull bones cracking sounded loud.


In the air Jayaseta made her do come down to the other soldiers who held her by a shield.


PRAK!


So hard was Jayaseta's sabetage, making the wooden shield almost split. Later, Jayaseta hunts down the same man.


PRAK!!


This time, the shield was completely split together with the chest of the owner. The first mangei mandau became very dangerous in the hands of the Thousand Mask Swordsman.


No need for long, Jayaseta slashed sideways into his two-living brackets.


Jayaseta's devotion is too above theirs. The shield is detached from the enemy's grip. And before he attempted to resist Jayaseta's attack with his do, the Thunder Kick from the South broke his breastbone and ribs. Not stopping there, Jayaseta still continued the attack by making mandau remove the head from the body of his enemy.


The last soldier tried to be smart. He retreated and protected himself well with his hexagon shield.


Jayaseta is moving forward like a rhino. His left hand that was not holding a weapon formed a fist and exploded energy in the form of a Bogem Watu Langit.


BLARS!!!


PRAK!!!


The wooden shield of the opponent was shattered. His flakes stuck to his chest, neck and even his face. However, without the shards of the shield, the power blow within Jayaseta had destroyed the opponent's innards.


Jayaseta rushes to the smoke, where Dara Cempaka stays with the other residents.

Yulgok moved his body around in a semicircle as a spear strike aimed at his chest. After dodging, he turned back around in a semicircle while escaping the jingum from its scabbard and slashing towards the enemy. The assailant lost one hand, was crushed by jingum Yulgok. The cries of the enemy's pain came to a halt when, with a blend of Tatsumi-ryu Hyoho and the use of Ssangsudo, Yulgok advanced to slash his neck.


Two more people attacked him with war cries. These two people were ordinary citizen youths, whose silat abilities were not as great as those of trained soldiers. But their sudden attack still endangers Yulgok who retreated quickly and pulled out a do hanging on his right waist.


The double swords, long and short, the result of katana and wakizashi's compositions led the two attackers to cancel the attack and re-prepare their steps.


Yulgok stretched out his hands, inviting the enemy in his mage device.


The two young men immediately attacked without a second thought. Yulgok pulled one foot back, twisted his body slightly and welcomed the simultaneous attack with his two swords.


The enemy who was not hit by the first attack had already felt given the wind, continuing his attack. This is where the art of Tatsumi-ryu Hyoh. Yulgok rotates completely so that the enemy's attack escapes just a moment from his body so that the do in his left hand manages to slash the assailant's back.


Both are seriously injured. In three slashing moves with his jingum and do, Yulgok finished his work.


***


Penglima Asuam and his three guards ransacked the betang house to find Temenggung Bears. Every time they saw one or two people, old, young, they would snatch, chop up the poor man's body until blood flowed out like a waterfall and life flew from his body.


But Temenggung Bear has not been seen.


"Bear! Out you! You're a real coward. Didn't you see your village crumbled and your citizen head I made souvenirs?! Where would your old face be if you kept hiding?!" shouted the Commander.


From the roof of the betang house, just above the entourage of the Commander who was screaming full of challenges, Ireng and Siam settles.


Siam held the Siamese dagger in his left hand and Kelewang that Jayaseta gave him. Ireng himself was only armed with a nine-legged keris.


The two simultaneously jumped down, ambushing and raining down the three bodyguards behind the unsuspecting Bear Commander.


***


Two Biaju soldiers dragged Dara Cempaka who was bound and half conscious. The one who was dragging decided to lift the body of the slender sweet girl to her back and carry her.


There were dozens of other Biaju warriors who roamed around them, burning buildings, kidnapping and capturing women and children, killing youth and parents as well as fighting some of the fortress soldiers.


There has been no sign of assistance coming from the fortress soldiers who were centered in the part with the village, against the two tens of Biaju who served as scorners.


It is almost certain that this mature plan would produce a sweet success, especially when the dozens of people who served in the rear line of the fort and the village saw additional aid enter through the gap of the fort cavity.


The Young Tiger Swordsman entered with his followers by having passed all their weapons from the scabbard.


***


Kumang and Jipen slumped from building to building they were so well acquainted with. They had already reached the middle of the crowded village by the soldiers preparing weapons.


There was a commotion and commotion there. Some wanted to divide the army by a larger number at the front of the village, while others saw smoke billowing behind the village, under the hill, insisting on concentrating the troops there.


Jipen smiled with satisfaction.


He then pulled his brother's arm, "We must continue to walk in search of Punyan" he whispered to the older brother.


"But, take cover immediately. Your husband is fighting on the front lines. Don't run backwards. Jipen, protect your brother, "one of the soldiers said to the two of them who were found ducking.


Of course, the soldier did not suspect the two because their village was being attacked, so no wonder the villagers and slaves also went into hiding.


"Where is it, Temenggung Bear? Didn't he fight, uncle?" this time I asked. In addition to his curiosity over the absence of the chief, Kumang also wanted to avoid the suspicion of the soldier.


"The beggars are in need of time to summon the ancestral spirits to help us win this battle. For that we must prevent the enemy until Temenggung appears," said the soldier who later joined the others.


Decision has been taken. The centering of the troops remained ahead, helping Punyan the chief's son and Jayaseta, the swordsman. While at the back, only a few soldiers were sent, considering that there were also already a few soldiers and youths there. It's obviously a big mistake they don't understand what really happened. Almost all of the soldiers behind the village had already died.


Jipen looked at the sister's face and smiled at her. "Come, sis. We have to go ahead. No one knows the real thing. We can reach the place where Punyan is. We will deceive him and you will have the privilege to kill him later," said the younger brother who was struck with a sly smile but agreed Kumang who unfortunately is so beautiful.


The two back joined in running slowly towards the front line of the battle.
