The Thousand Mask Warrior

Pouncing In Silence

The screams of water lurch, the sound of cannon fire powder blasting, the cries of war and pain and fury mingled into one in the air. The collision of three Chinese-administered merchant ships into the boats of the pirates caused an unusual impact.

The pirates who were surprised by the recklessness of the three foreign ships were forced to strike back if they did not want to

the enemy's attack. Their boats are of various types, from sampans that can contain three to five people, long boats containing up to ten people to small rowed boats and single sailing weapons carriers, should be poranda ravines, porak, upside down and down.

The Lan Xang troops and the people who went down to fight did have a characteristic that distinguished them from the Siamese, Annam or Champa people. Their long hair is curled at the top of the head, then covered or adorned with a cloth tied around the forehead and head. For the traders and passengers of the ship who took the sabbatical, on average they wore a wide head covering, like a caping, but the cone in the middle was like the roof of a house.

All soldiers were dressed and bare-chested. Some wear shoulder and chest coverings. Those who were not soldiers wore clothes similar to those of the Siamese, long sleeves with buttons and silk shoulder and chest covers.

They have passed various types of daggers and dha and then jumped on the enemy boat as well as attacking their enemies there.

For the Lan Xang attackers, swords and daggers were more useful and powerful than spears.  Especially since they were currently jumping around from one boat to another, blazing

and pierced the enemies who were shocked and lost attention.

The people of Daisy or also called Annam this and Champa who from the beginning was too focused on besieging and trying to get closer to the ship boarded by Sasangka and Jaka Pasirluhur. So do not be surprised if the average back of the pirates is the target.

Dha the hired guard soldiers of the three long, curved and long-handled ships also make it easier for them to make a kind of spear that is equally good for piercing or cutting.

For this initial attack, the victims of the pirates were already beginning to become apparent. The Lan Xang soldiers who were ignited in anger did not care about the order of their attacks or war titles. They should be able to kill the opponent. The pirates of the perplexity. Many fell into the water and were forced to get attacks that they could not respond to. Their bodies were stoned, stabbed and broken. Even especially for those who have fallen into the water, the head is the target, so death is an inevitability. Water became an unusually heavy obstacle for them to raise their hands, let alone weapons to retaliate.

This lust of killing Lan Xang's troops unfortunately flared up without a plan and without any real calculations. At first, the pirates were scattered, injured, fell from their boat and boat,

or even dead. Slowly, however, things became unpredictable.

Resistance began to be seen from the pirates. This was because the three Lan Xang ships that attacked the new broke through the first layer of the dozens of large and small boats. In fact, without taking into account at all, the four medium-sized boats rowed their boats quickly towards the three Lan Xang ships that were captained by the Chinese. Their goal was clear, counterattacking as well as thwarting the attacks of the cannon

fired many times.

The rope with the end of the hook has been thrown onto the deck. The spear immediately followed was thrown anyway for

blocking the Lan Xang soldiers on board who knew they were under attack. So fast and agile, the pirates climbed up the ship. The lack of Lan Xang soldiers on guard because almost all soldiers, even some fighters and crew also participated in the attack.

The first ship is broken. Even the Lan Xang soldiers on guard, less than ten, had no idea that a boat with six pirates was attached to their ship and climbed up. With a sneak, the blades of the daggers were bitten in their mouths, the six Annam pirates leaped pouncing in silence. The sharp blade of the dagger pierced through the back and neck of the back of the two Lan Xang warriors. The rest of the surprised ones were already too late. The small bodies of the Viocare pirates were leaping like apes with daggers and swords towards them. One pirate also armed with two spear rods had thrown towards Lan Xang's soldiers, piercing through the neck and hull. If this is the case, the pirates of Daisy Viet will be able to go directly to the bow and stern, paralyzing the cannon shooters, maybe even skippers. They could also use this ship to attack the other two Lan Xang ships.
