The Thousand Mask Warrior

Shallow Sea Battle Part Three - Step Four

Mr. Rajo Intan took off his shirt. Obviously, the wound on the shoulder in the form of long and short scratches black because of burning, although not too deep. He ordered a crew member to get a piece of cloth. He tied the cloth across his chest to cover his wound.

"Master knows that I won't feel sorry for your injuries, right?" makkawaru squinted both eyes.

Mr. Rajo Intan laughed, "Do I ask you to feel sorry for me? Better you prepare to love yourself later," replied Mr. Rajo Nio.

The crew and the combined swordsman Minangkabau-Bengkulu though also worried about the state of the skipper, on the other hand they also understood with the solemnity and devotion of the skipper. There are obviously many compelling reasons why Mr. Rajo Intan became a leader aboard this warrior-breeder.

He mastered silat moves named Step Four. His injured body was actually completely unfeelable. He lowered his head like without horses, but that was the characteristic of this Rejang Tribe's native silat.

Indeed, in reality, Mr. Rajo Intan is someone who comes from the Rejang tribe, one of the indigenous tribes in Bengkulu in addition to the Malay tribes.

The Rejang people are great people in the world of canuragan science. When reviewed, they are also known as a tribe with a high civilization and a great history.

The name Rejang itself comes from the name of the Tartars who first arrived in the Bintunan area, Rejang now. His name was Rhe Jang Hyang. He and his entourage came in 2080 BC, far back in time most of the archipelago was still not really formed, and founded a village called Kutai Nuak, which is still not really formed, in the North White Napal.

He lived in Kutai Nuak for only 50 years because the food supply was depleted and pressed by the arrival of others. Rhe Jang Hyang and his family eventually moved again to the area of Pinang Belapis or Renah Sekalaw. This is where all the scattered Rejang people first came from.

It is also mentioned that the Rejang tribe comes from four petulai or regions or villages. The four adventurers are Juru Kalang, Bermani, Selupu and Tubai. The four petulai were led by an Ajai. The four ajai are Ajai Bintang, Ajai Begelan Mato, Ajai Siang and Ajai Tiea Keteko.

At the time of the fourth reign of the king is said to have come four brothers son of Queen Kencana Wunggu from Majapahit, although there are also those who say that the four people are Srivijaya nobles who are able to exert a major influence on the Rejang tribe. The difference in this story can be due to the problem of the change of Srivijaya power on the Malay island which slowly collapsed replaced the Majapahit glory in the archipelago.

However, basically, this shows that the four masters received four people who were then called biku or bikau because of wisdom and wisdom and had been married to the fourth daughters of Ajai. The four monks are Biku Sepanjang Jiwo, Bijenggo Biku, Biku Bembo and Biku Bermano.

Under the leadership of these four monks, the Rejang Tribe grew and developed and developed regional culture until finally it has its own writing or script that signifies the height of their civilization. The script is called Kaganga.

At present, in the early 17th century AD, there was a great agreement of the Rejang people led by Petulai and fragments of Petulai from the four Lebong regions. This major agreement aims to build unity and unity of the Rejang people including the territory, tribes and the title of Depati - or duke in Javanese - for the leaders of the island.

It was also decided for the warriors to maintain the security and defense of the Rejang tribal area consisting of four Sindang Four Lawang leaders and five Sindang Beliti leaders who were tasked with guarding the enemy threat from the East. They are the warriors of the forest. There were also eleven leaders from the Coastal Renah and seven leaders of the Ketahun Renah guarding the threat of enemies coming from the sea.

Joint government throughout the Rejang tribes began at this time with the leaders of the four Depati together. Therefore, the joint government between the four Depati is called by the term Depati Tiang Empat government.

The number Four has a strong philosophy in the life of the Rejang tribe, so the science of Step Four is the mainstay of the skipper.

King Nio moved quickly. His loud voice commanded the crew to raise the sails and the helmsman to slam the rudder, away from the battlefield as a pirate ship drove quickly towards them and was followed by two large ships belonging to the forces of the Sultanate of Johor-Riau and the Sultanate of Jambi.

The Jambi region was once a region of the Malay Kingdom, and later became part of the occupation of Srivijaya territory centered in Palembang in around 682 AD. At the end of the 14th century AD Jambi was a subordinate country of Majapahit and until now the influence of Java still continues to color the Sultanate of Jambi.

The establishment of the Jambi sultanate along with the rise of Islam in the region. Starting a few years ago, precisely in 1616 AD Jambi is the second richest port in Sumatra after Aceh and will likely continue to rival its neighbors such as Johor and Palembang.

This is what makes Jambi come to power in the ocean, and compete with neighboring countries, such as Johor today. Seen from afar the soldiers in their oversized clothes, equipped with spears, shields, dagger and swords tucked in their waists.

Through the binoculars, King Nio grasped the enemy's abilities and saw that his jug would be involved in a great complexity. They will be caught in the first major fight since reaching the Malay land.

King Nio looked up at the bed that had grasped his pair of rotational staffs. The bed looked back at the skipper who then immediately understood the intention that the Bisaya swordsman was trying to convey.

King Nio took his long staff and exclaimed, "Save your sword, dagger or dagger. Do not use sharp weapons. Take metal shields and rattan, wooden sticks and rattan, wooden mace or paddle to defend yourself!"

Makkawaru uses low crossing horses. He looked sharply at his opponent. Intentions do not want to prolong the fight and subjugate the enemy without a lot of moves.

So, without warning, no matter the skipper is ready or not, Makkawaru darted like a seagull punching straight at the chest of Mr. Rajo Intan.

The target retreated quickly, the sensitivity of his aura was already visible from here. Makkawaru's fist is a short distance from Mr. Rajo Intan's chest.

Not a swordsman when immediately stopped on the first attack, Makkawaru connected with the fist using the opposite hand and a sweep of the leg attacked the leg of Mr. Rajo Intan.

The skipper still deftly twitched and jumped. Both attacks also escaped. Makkawaru moved forward with anxiety. The ten fingers formed claws ready to beat and crush the head of Mr. Rajo Intan.
