The Thousand Mask Warrior

Shallow Sea Battle Sixth Part - Off guard

Makkawaru attacked faster and harder this time. His pride must be taken back. He has dismantled the defense of the four-step steps of the opponent. So he no longer needs the order of defense of Mr. Rajo Intan. Once two strokes are dealt, then once two blows hit the target on the shoulder or chest. Step three and step four of Mr. Rajo Intan, the Rejang's bloody captain, broke in the hands of the Bugis swordsman's cross-legged leg silat jaws.

Labussa smiled faintly. The sailors of the Bugis warriors looked increasingly confident. Soon they will get their wish. While the warriors and crew of the Minangkabau-Bengkulu-Rejang began to look worried, anxious and worried.

Mr. Rajo Intan and Makkawaru stood face to face, returning to their original state, preparing the horses. Blood has thickened seeping in the cloth wound shoulder Mr. Rajo Intan.

The situation was getting tense when the other Minangkabau-Bengkulu ship was docked. The deck trembled softly as the two ships clashed. Boards are recommended for the movement of warriors.

The Bugis people are inflamed. They groped their badminton, dagger or keris.

Mr. Rajo Intan raised his right hand, giving a sign that the warriors from the next boat were not rash to take any action that could provoke greater strife.

The warriors who got to the ship that was captained by Mr. Rajo Intan who had all passed various weapons had immediately understood what was meant. They reinserted their weapons into the scabbard but still remained vigilant by sticking their hands upstream of the weapon.

Mr. Rajo Intan nodded towards the opponent, indicating that they could already restart such a fair one-on-one hand fight.

Makkawaru smiled slightly then prepared to attack Mr. Rajo Intan back before he was surprised because his opponent's fist was already a bit in front of his face. Without realizing it, Mr. Rajo Intan is the one who now attacks him first, even though he thinks that the skipper's moves are to defend and trap opponents, even though he thinks that the skipper's moves are defensive, he did not expect Mr. Rajo Intan to attack first.

Makkawaru ducked down while raising his hand. The punch escaped grazing the hand used as a fend off, but Mr. Rajo Intan's knee struck his chest.

Makkawaru. Next, Mr. Rajo Intan's three steps are an attack, just like the previous two steps in the form of fists and knees. Makkawaru felt a single blow hit his neck, but was restrained by his palm as a fend.

Mr. Rajo Intan used three fingers: his thumb, index and middle fingers, clutching Makkawaru's wrist which was used to fend off his attack on the neck earlier.

Step four: the three fingers squeeze and bend Makkawaru's arm, twisting it so that the arm is stretched out. Makkawaru felt as if his shoulders were about to slip from his joints, before Mr. Rajo Intan's palm landed heavily onto his chest.

Makkawaru was thrown backwards as far as two spears, hitting his Bugis comrades. He woke up, denied the help of his friends.

***

Three masked pirates of the Mah Meri tribe jumped up and down along the edge of the jung. From their ship, the gunmen bury anyone who dares to approach.

Ireng is aware of something. The cannon! Yes, the three pirates are targeting the cannon in the jung. There are four cannons owned by King Nio's jung after making repairs and additional weaponry during docking at the port of Sukadana; two on the hull and two more on the deck.

Clearly, these three people were enough to chase one cannon alone to carry out their evil plan.

Ireng jumped as fast as possible. The wooden paddle in his hand was ready to be smashed into the rearmost pirate.

Behind his mask, the pirate can already see the movement of Ireng who tried to chase after him. He turned around and stood in Ireng's way. He will stop this man so that his two comrades can seize one of the cannons on the deck.

Ireng's punch was successfully avoided by looking down. Her dagger that had been unsheathed was thrust towards Ireng's stomach.

Just barely!

Ireng convoluted while poking the end of his paddle.

SIR!

The neck of the masked pirate was hit by Ireng's attack by a landslide. He staggered. Ireng did not want to waste time, he jumped very high to make his punch as hard as possible.

DAR!

The sound of gunfire from the pirate ship was heard.

Ireng was thrown backwards.

Pe*luru did not hit Ireng and straight hit a steel plate near the steering wheel and then bounced towards the masked pirates that Ireng was about to attack earlier. The Mimi*s pierced through the wooden mask and burst into his head. The pirate collapsed, dead.

Ireng tried to stand up and suggested that his body had been pulled by someone before the lead pelo*r penetrated his chest.

"Jayaseta? Is that you?" Ireng.

"Yes, it's me. We should temporarily let them take control of the cannon. The shooters below had excellent abilities, as if they were trained by the Caucasians as well as officers of the great kingdoms. We have to be prepared for what's going to happen in a moment" Jayaseta said.

Ireng nodded showing a sign of agreement and thanking Jayaseta's nimble movements managed to save him.

BOOM!

Not yet a single breath, the sound of cannon blasts rattling the deck and deafening.

***

Makkawaru slapped his hand onto the deck of the ship. He was upset because he had fallen for the umpteenth time. It's time to finish this fight. It's good he paralyzed the captain of the Rejang people as badly as possible so as not to bother spending more time.

But when he was about to attack, everyone again heard the sound of cannon bang. All eyes find out where the loud voice came from.

Not so far away, they saw a huge jungle spewing thick smoke from its deck. There were two ships that were almost as big as trying to flank the jungle, and one of them was also smoky on the deck. Some people were thrown into the sea.

The ship hit by the cannon fire was most likely a ship belonging to the army of the Sultanate of Johor-Riau.

Everyone became confused and tried to struggle with their own thoughts.

Makkawaru saw Mr. Rajo Intan off guard, just like most people who lined up on this jung.

Without waiting for another chance Makkawaru cheated on the chin and chest of Mr. Rajo Intan.

As a swordsman, however, under any circumstances, Mr. Rajo Intan should be sprightly. From the end of his eyes he saw a shadow quickly heading towards him. He turned around, repelling the attack as well as giving a backlash.

BUGS!!

BUGS!!

Both the skipper and Makkawaru are bouncing.

Apparently Makkawaru's fist is too hard, especially Mr. Rajo Intan is not in a state that is really ready. So the fist still penetrated the back of the palm of Mr. Rajo Intan and hit his chin. Unfortunately, Makkawaru also did not expect the opponent had time to counter a rotating blow with the back of the hand clenched pliers to his ribs.

Mr. Rajo Intan can't hold back his anger anymore. He had been betrayed and cheated by the sailor of the rancid swordsman when he was not paying attention let alone preparing. Although his jaw hurt, his heart was much more injured. He rises.

Likewise with Makkawaru who from the beginning was upset and embarrassed because he constantly failed to defeat his opponent and wanted to immediately control this ship. He rose anyway.

Both sets of eyes glinted with anger. It was only a moment before the two of them slid back banging their silat abilities ...

"Wait on! Stop this fight! We have found the culprit of this problem," exclaimed someone who immediately attracted the attention of everyone.

Seven Minangkabau and Bengkulu warriors and several crew members threw three figures suspected of being pirates in a condition of bonded and injured. One of them was wearing a mask. Everyone on board knew the mask as a distinctive feature of an inland tribe living in the Selangor area, Mah Meri.

Lopes Francisco de Paula smiled. His binoculars he held after seeing what was happening in front of him.

"So soon they'll start to wonder. The smart and clever will understand that all this is a trap. Those who understand but are greedy, will not care and will still try to take advantage of this incident, such as the two Johor and Jambi ships that are indeed hostile to each other," he said firmly with Malay language that is very fluent and fluent to the skipper, crew and warriors of various nations on the deck of this ship.

"We're leaving this place. Send two of our attack ships!" later orders.

The immediate situation was low boisterous, bustling with shouts of commands and answers that were mutual.

The sails were developed, these indigenous-style ships pulled anchors and turned the bow. While the two ships behind him that seemed invisible appeared and drove towards the battlefield. The two medium-sized ships had good speed for the size of the warship. Inside were superior gunners and gunners as well as experienced fire powder throwers. They come from various nations in the archipelago. Each ship was led by one Pranggi national who was an expert in powder and firearms science.
