The Thousand Mask Warrior

Monklike

Unmitigated, eleven pirates emerged from the thickets and trees behind the hill near the river Ayutthaya region.

Jayaseta's party has been walking for almost a full day. As is known, due to the detention at the border due to the problem of tensions that are mounting between Ayutthaya and the Sultanate of Kedah, people from the Malay region who enter the area of the Siamese people must falter and accumulate. All day long they walked together in droves.

Traders, traders, tourists, even Buddhist leaders on foot - there are three Theravada Buddhist monks who are likely after traveling from the Far Central country, using ox or buffalo carts and horse riding, it was actually an easy target for the Siamese pirates.

Unfortunately again, the border guard soldiers from the Ayutthaya Kingdom are being distracted because their patriotism has been attacked by people who claim the title of Thousand Mask Swordsman. The massacre of the soldiers was definitely not a trivial matter.

So once again, these clever pirates used the golden opportunity of the absence of the country's soldiers to rob groups and entourage from across what they considered to be fat cattle.

Eleven pirates, half thick, half of them clay-muscular, armed with a pair of daabs strung across their backs. Some sat on horse saddles, the rest ran and jumped quickly ambushing the entourage.

The robbers immediately swarmed the group like ants swarming with sugar.

"Things of this kind seem too familiar to us. There seems to be no way to avoid it" Narendra said in a low voice.

The bed agreed. He felt his pair of rotational sticks at the waist.

The robbers obviously acted so violently and seemed overzealous. They had already unsheathed their double daab and slapped it into the air with a threatening purpose.

Some of the begal people darted forward, jumped and hit the horsemen and the ox and buffalo carts, making them fall.

"Friends, prepare yourself. Don't stand out too much in the face of those robbers. We can't underestimate them, but we can't give up all our abilities. Later, if we put up a too great resistance, we will be questioned and suspected by the government of the Ayutthaya kingdom," said Siam slowly. He opened the box of heirlooms they were carrying and allowed anyone to take one of the daggers from inside.

Some traders do not want to allow themselves to be robbed. Of course not a few of them have silat abilities and are reliable fighters as well.

The assault of the robbers to the front was met with the resistance of the merchants with swords and spears.

The middle of the group containing the Buddhist monks was quite ill-fated almost without a fight. A monk was killed floundering on the ground by a robber. Though the group of monks had raised their hands to show they did not want to fight.

Apparently, these begals really took advantage of their opportunity to attack the group. First, large groups will make the group difficult to design a resistance. Second, the group may feel safe because it is still close to the border which means the possibility of criminals or robbers on the streets is very small. Third, the attack must be carried out quickly and swiftly. There was no mercy and bargaining, or it could have been Ayutthaya warriors who were around the place knowing it so the plan would have been a mess.

No wonder, even unarmed monks were directly targeted. This as a form of real threat and an example for other groups that they do not mess around.

"Remember. Don't stand out too much. We face them as much as we can, just take them off" Siam said. He himself retreated with Ireng behind Narendra and Katilapan and Jayaseta. They realized that the ability of the three people was more trustworthy than them. If they had to fight the robbers, they would have to kill instead of crippling them.

Dara Cempaka was pulled back by Ireng, even though the girl was already holding a kris in her right hand.

Shouts for the sake of shouting continued to be heard. The robbers attacked with more and more becoming. One or two bodies fell to death with blood soaking the ground. Some people who fight the robbers on the front are not seen reportedly because they are covered in the bodies of people who run around in fear.

This horror continues to occur so that the group is increasingly gripped and eventually will actually give up the treasure they brought.

One monk fell back, was hacked to death so that his head was almost cut off from his body.

"Bang*sat! We can't stand this," Jayaseta exclaimed. He looks very angry. "Are we just standing here waiting to be attacked and pretending to hang on while people are being massacred? Can't you see they killed those religious leaders without mercy?" Jayaseta is back. The swordsman's blood bubbled up to the crown. He could no longer accept the reality and events before his eyes.

"Jayaseta. Our journey is still long. You can't be impetuous and careless. We must ...."

The bed was interrupted. Jayaseta grabbed a piece of cloth wrapped around Dara Cempaka's neck. He used it to cover his mouth and forehead by rounding it at the head. Soon Jayaseta escapes the Siamese dagger he took from the wooden box Siam carried, then bolts towards the robbers.
