The Thousand Mask Warrior

New World

The two robbers who used the twin swords looked at each other. The two of them sent each other a meaningful message in their gazes. One robber then shouted loudly once more in Siamese, "This man is right the Thousand Mask Swordsman. Step back, and preach this to our New World group. The warrior from the island of Java has stepped on the land of Siam!"

This shout seems to still have not resulted in any event. It seems that the members of the group of robbers who were on horseback were still confused, looking at each other and trying to examine the orders of one of the robbers who seemed to have a higher position than them.

Seeing that none of the dozens of robbers were moving as ordered, the robber shouted again. "I told you, the Thousand Mask Warrior is already in this place. He is a real person. Go immediately, report the others. It's free when you have to die silly. This man is no match for you."

Feeling the order was clear, the robbers immediately moved. The wounded and fallen from the horse transported his comrades. The horses turned around and were driven away from the place.

Dozens of galloping horses left the battle area towards the hills and disappeared behind the trees near the river. The dust left by the cavalry of robbers, making traders and tourist groups relieved and grateful. The injured are immediately removed and treated. The bodies of those killed on their side were also taken and treated as appropriate.

This activity was almost as painful. The two robbers and Jayaseta stood silently facing each other five spears away.

Behind Jayaseta, his entourage, Katilapan and others, help the victim and collect the scattered and messy items. They know that the matter is not over yet, but they are temporarily unable to interfere. Dara Cempaka herself was very confident her husband would be able to deal with this problem, no matter how strange and awkward. The two robber leaders were definitely not comparable opponents to her husband. It's just, everyone knows, that they're curious about whatever's really going on right now.

The robber who had given the order looked sharply at Jayaseta after noticing that the group of travelers, traders and merchants and travelers had improved and began to set out to avoid the place. He went ahead a step later exclaiming to Jayaseta using Malay that was thick with foreign dialects. "We've been waiting for you, Jayaseta."

Inevitably Jayaseta was stunned. Likewise with Siam, Ireng, Katilapan, Narendra and Dara Cempaka.

"I've guessed how surprised you are. Just so you know, my friend and I are not Siamese. My name is Khaung, Burmese. And this friend of mine is Sovannarith, a Khmer from Cambodia. We're not a pack of ordinary robbers. We come from a group called the New World" said the person who claimed to be named Khaung.

The weapon was a different form of daab, and was probably its initial form. Its name is Dha, originating in Burma.

"We have long observed the movement of nations and kingdoms across the archipelago to the land of Siam. We know the intricacies of Mataram state and government in relation to Betawi, Sukadana to the Malay states. We are fed up with the awesomeness of rulers who attack each other and try to conquer each other. We decided to create a New World order that went our way. Knowledge is the true power, Jayaseta," Khaung said at length.

"I don't know what I'm saying" Jayaseta said in his heart. His pair of eyes still fixedly stared at his two enemies sharply and carefully.

"We are the people of choice who come from diverse backgrounds. You who are of Chinese, Persian and Javanese blood should join us. We can change the world" Khaung continued excitedly.

Jayaseta is still flinching. But inside his chest churned various questions that raged. It is not true what Khaung said that knowledge is true power.

Not yet had Jayaseta resolved the opposition in her heart, Khaung again said. "You think every point of your life has nothing to do with us, Jayaseta? You never ask why your life is always full of challenges and fights? Finish the poison Kyai Ageng Plered you still have to get in trouble with the other curse that rests on your wife, Dara Cempaka. How can you not see the connection between the Hell Earth Needle group and the people who have been disguised as you?" Khaung.

Jayaseta's body stretched. His pair of eyes widened to hear what the man who had just said was completely unknown to him.
