The Thousand Mask Warrior

Horse Stem

The Lancaran Jayaseta and his entourage had departed more than half a day ago to the center of the Ayutthaya kingdom. Sasangka was forced to wait for another lancaran which was very coincidental to go to Ayutthaya as well. The difference is, the ship rode by Jayaseta was the Malay or at least from the archipelago, while the smoothness he was riding came from Lan Xang who was hitchhiking Lan Xang traders themselves as well as Cambodia or neighboring kingdoms.

The purpose of this ship is clear to Ayutthaya via the Mekong river. Sasangka had to wait for another moment for the ship to sail.

The people of Lan Xang are famous as river raisers using boats and boats. They are very deft to use the river routes through the mountains through the main river, the Mekong. The Mekong River does have a lot of branches and tributaries that penetrate deep into the interior for them to buy produce such as cardamom, camphor and many types of food.

The kingdom of Lan Xang was established in the 14th century AD precisely in 1353 AD under the rule of Fa Ngum. The kingdom is adjacent to the Siamese kingdom of Ayutthaya, in the Northeast. Even some areas controlled by Lan Xang are also inhabited by a mixture of Siamese and Lan Xang people.

It's just that, now the kingdom of Lan Xang is in a difficult time because it is undermined by disputes within the kingdom itself or join rubbing against the neighboring country.

However, especially with Ayutthaya, Lan Xang's relationship could be said to be quite good, due to the trade that was shared in the Mekong river. Other than Ayutthya relations with Burma or the Malay state of Kedah which is still quite hot for years, even since the past.

Sasangka did not find many people from the archipelago on this ship. As far as his knowledge there were only two Malay traders and probably one Javanese with one hand cutung. I don't know what the purpose and work of the dumbfounded Java was to go all the way to this country. Sasangka didn't see any merchandise with him. But anyway he stopped thinking and guessing because after all he himself did not look like a trader, even though the initial goal to get to Melaka was to trade palm wine.

Sasangka stepped on the floor and began to close his eyes, preparing to rest while patiently waiting for this smooth departure. Although left more than half a day from the smooth ride Jayaseta, Sasangka believes he can certainly find traces of the group considering the name of the Thousand Mask Swordsman is too famous.

The scattered news explained that the Thousand Mask Warrior was no longer visible on the mainland and suddenly disappeared. So surely Jayaseta avoids the land so as not to be too visible to many people. So Jayaseta most likely chose to use lancaran. On this ship, this, Jaka Pasirluhur also did not find the figure of Jayaseta and instead got the news that the fluency that first departed more than half a day ago to Ayutthaya through the Mekong river contains many Malays and archipelago, the, like Java or Madura besides Siamese, Cambodian and Lan Xang.

Mana knows the ship was boarded Jayaseta, thought Jaka Pasirluhur.

His instincts say that the ship ahead there must be the ship where Jayaseta is. Whether the goal is to Ayutthaya, does not become a thing for Jaka Pasirluhur. So far he has gone, so he must complete his task and journey.

One compounding betel then, the lancaran that was captained and manned by the Lan Xang people finally sailed. The ship's body was shaking off the dark-colored water currents. Long paddles push the water to propel the ship.

From behind the hills on the river wall, dozens of cavalrymen appeared and stopped there, watching the ship boarded by Sasangka and Jaka Pasirluhur start sailing.

The figure of a beakbaya male with a small body on the saddle of the horse advanced forward. Although old and small in stature, clearly this person is a respected figure of the riding troupe.

"Jayaseta was on the boat that left half a day ago. The ship that was leaving was Sasangka on his deck. For our company to be two. The first one rode with me as quickly as possible to Ayutthaya. Call on the rest of the New World to prepare for Jayaseta and his entourage there. The second group, immediately notify our members in the river to let the first smooth pass. Let Jayaseta get to Ayutthaya. I'll deal with him later. Instead, I ordered them to kill Sasangka and drown the Lan Xang people!" the middle-aged old man's command was the swordsman from Kerinci nicknamed the Three Steps God. He immediately stomped the horse harness without waiting for a response from his subordinates again.
