The Thousand Mask Warrior

Kocar-Piggyr

The two Malay warrior leaders bubbled their blood burning with anger. They did not expect that the unknown figure would not mince words. They should be infuriated by all these circumstances where the pirates seek trouble in the islands and coastal areas that are being questioned by Jambi and Johor then escape and then even find trouble with other ships. This matter must be straightened out by conquering this person, both thought.

But sure enough, Jayaseta doesn't want to bother anymore. He attacked again quickly and aggressively.

Keris and mashed pepper tried to dispel Jayaseta attack first. The two types of daggers pierced, punched and stabbed towards the chest, abdomen and neck almost simultaneously. Jayaseta moves like the wind, slipping between attacks. He brushed off the attack and pushed the opponent's arm, rejected the enemy's shoulder, and repelled puncture and scabbard and mash pepper with his arm that was wrapped in the cloth.

Before long, the cloth on both of his arms was removed.

BESS ...!

BESS ...!

Cain fluttered and exploded in energy. The leader of Jambi's army was jolted backwards because twice the rag used by Jayaseta hit his body. He rolled on the deck of the ship.

Seeing twice the assault landed heavily on the leader of the Jambi army, the leader of the Johor warriors took the opportunity to attack Jayaseta from behind. Keris leads to the waist and mash the pepper towards the back.

Jayaseta's short-sightedness is above average. Eve movement behind her head has been felt since the enemy was about to start an attack.

With a gentle but firm movement, Jayaseta turned around, throwing down one of her cloths, tying the arms of the enemy holding the keris. Jayaseta jerks him so that the enemy loses balance. He could not possibly crush the mash on her because one hand was wrapped in cloth. Jayaseta then flicked another cloth to the ankle and also wrapped it.

Once hempas, the balance of the enemy was completely destroyed. It spun in the air once before its body crashed onto the floor of the Jung deck violently.

Two medium-sized ships full of mercenaries from various nations crept slowly over shallow sea water approaching ships owned by sailors Minangkabau-Bengkulu-Rejang and jung Raja Nio who narrowed two ships belonging to the soldiers Jambi Malay and Johor-Riau Malay.

Cannons had been prepared with the soldiers in the hull and on the deck of the ship prepared with bedils and fire powder.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

A loud explosion was heard in the morning air. White smoke with black traces soared in the sky from the mouth of the first ship's cannon.

Soon the smoke was again seen on the outrigger ships belonging to the Bugis and Minangkabau ships due to the penetrated cannon bullet. The right distance to scatter fire towards the ship that is completely unprepared and is a mere target of fire.

Labussa was thrown backwards. Some of the soldiers fell into the water, some were knocked down and unconscious. Their bodies were injured, some even lost their arms and legs.

Makkawaru was stunned because of her surprise. He saw Labussa, he, the leader was thrown into the corner of the deck and was about to help when the captive pirates, one of whom was masked by Mah Meri, who was captured and actually quite badly wounded, woke up and simultaneously captured Makkawaru's body. The three pirates pushed the Bugis warrior with all their might. All four fell from the deck of the ship to the Bugis outrigger ship that was on fire.

Labussa who fell flat still had time to see this incident. He stood up and rushed towards the fall of the second man.

AARR!!!

A loud explosion was heard again. The Bugis outrigger boat was hit for the umpteenth time by cannons and was smashed with Makkawaru and the three pirates wounded on it.

The leaders of the Jambi and Johor forces woke up almost simultaneously. They were about to continue attacking Jayaseta when they abruptly canceled him. Even everyone on the deck of his attention was fixed on the explosion that occurred not far from their sight in this jungle.

"What else is this?" the Johor leader.

The screams of the crew of the jung Raja Nio were modest with the Malay soldiers of Jambi and Johor who had just used their binoculars as well.

"Mr ... The ship there, probably belonging to the Minang people was shot. Two Bugis outrigger ships were also hit by the blast" a Jambi soldier reported.

"Are they the pirates we were chasing?" ask the Johor leader while exclaiming.

"We're not sure, sir. Their ship was unflagged and seemed to be designed to fight at sea" replied the soldier.

"They're obviously going to attack us. You should immediately think carefully but as soon as possible," said Jayaseta cold behind the wooden mask of the monkey Mah Meri.

King Nio then stood in the middle of the deck. "Gentlemen, get back to your respective ships. We are in a difficult situation like this. Cannon fire will destroy us together who are in a state of chaos like this. We will also have trouble replying to the attack" said King Nio in a loud voice, assuring everyone could hear him.

The two leaders of the opposing Malay forces looked towards King Nio, Jayaseta the Thousand Mask Swordsman and at the masked pirates who had been captured. They were clearly hesitant to release the captives and were still curious about their fight with Jayaseta. But then they also looked at the soldiers and their crew on board, swaying by the waves.

"Back to the ship, get the weapons ready. We're facing the attackers!" the leader of Jambi.

This order was directly carried out by the soldiers of Jambi. They also had to go back to the ship because they saw another real threat on board a ship, the attack ship.

The Johor leader himself only nodded his head as a sign of a similar order. The soldiers of Johor and Riau immediately ran past the crossing boards.

Shouts of understated commands, "Raise the screen. Rotate steering. Prepare the cannons."

Lopes Fransisco de Paula swigged the wine back. He rested both his eyes. Want to enjoy the scenery in front, the battle between the Malays and the archipelago. But he is tired. There's still a lot of work to be done. Enough for now.

His ship slowly left the battlefield in the shallow sea, leaving behind the sound of a cannon pounding like a port of death.

***

The assault ship that Lopes Francico de Paula ordered to attack the Malay forces' ships already knew that the Johor and Jambi soldiers were already on their way back to their ship from the poor merchant's jung.

So, they immediately fired their cannons before the ships prepared.

BUMMM..!!

OHHMMM..!!

Sure enough, even though the gunnery only hit the side of Jambi, the explosions left the soldiers and the ship in disarray. The Johor ship that was attached to the other side of the jung Raja Nio had to turn around to get a firing target.

The attack ships of various nations armed with Pranggi could have shot at the jung King Nio, but they deliberately save pelu*ru to be right on target. They even sped up the movement while continuing to fire on their soft target, the Jambi.

"Playout ... Spin ship!" king Nio's orders to the helmsman and crew. "You see that ship that's away? We're going after him!"

"Wait, King Nio. Whatchu mean?" jayaseta said suddenly upset and confused. "What's wrong with that ship? Wouldn't we be better off avoiding the battle and continuing on?" continued the warrior.

"We have escaped the misunderstanding that involves the great power of the Malay states, Mr. Raja Nio. Why don't we go far away?" this time Narendra spoke.

"No. We've been plunged into this problem. While we are free from problems because the attack ships suddenly come and make their attention on the ship. However, the pirates we captured are still on board. I can't imagine that they're going to keep asking for an explanation for whatever happened to these pirates. After all, we will stop in the country of Malay, their country," explained the skipper.

"Then, what does that have to do with the ship you're after, King Nio?" jayaseta said curiously.

King Nio looked at Jayaseta's mask. "Nobody noticed, except me. It was the carrier of the two attack ships. Even I saw from earlier, ever since the pirates boarded our ship and the Minangkabau people's ship, the carrier was silent, didn't leave even when the cannons of our ship and the hijacked Minangkabau were fired. The ship was watching and watching what was going on. We'll know the answer as soon as possible. Prepare your weapons. Please use sharp weapons," asserted the skipper jung from Semarang.
