The Thousand Mask Warrior

The Thousand Mask Warrior
The Battle of the Eighth River: Black Hell



The people of Champa and Annam came from a kingdom that was adept at fighting over rivers and waters. The Champa Kingdom even in its golden days had a thousand great ships to guard its territory. The Kingdom of Vietnam sent five thousand galleys, or rowed river boats, to attack Champa on


year 1465 AD.


Then Yu's worries are understandable. He saw warboats of various sizes belonging to the pirates of Vietnam and Champa as if it had not been fully used properly. They deliberately threatened Lan Xang's ship in front and detained the other ships that were about to pass through this river. The three merchant ships that the Chinese ruled, two are clearly unusable. One, has lost a considerable number of you. They rowed back and decided they could no longer fight.


People in this foreign region are indeed known to have a strong river and water culture. Leaders, kings, princes or landlords often give boats and ships as gifts or tributes to other leaders. That is what the Nguyen dynasty did at Da Network of Vies to the Trinth dynasty in the south: giving wooden ships as a form of tribute. Moreover, the construction of warships that require an unusually fast time. They were able to build ships and use them for warfare.


Yu immediately ran back in this direction he came to immediately inform Pratiwi and Fong Pak Laoya to immediately finish the fight and leave the ship. However, that was before what he saw at the moment.


“As expected! There is no way Champa people, let alone the pirates, no one has immunity science,” exclaimed Fong Pak Laoya to Pratiwi.


The Laoya had just defeated his opponent in just these two moves. When the leader of the pirates who lived alone attacked with two quick crosses towards Fong Pak Laoya who with the style of balance movement Yin and Yang avoided smoothly but firmly. The reply was a low-stroke kneading waist with a sword similar to whip and ended with a single twist of the body then added the force of the blow to the back.


Both attacks hit the target. However, nothing happened other than a mere jolted enemy. There were no wounds on the naked skin of the leader who was wearing only a piece of loincloth and the chest and shoulder decoration.


Pratiwi who saw this incident, although it has been called by the Laoya that the enemy turns out to have immunity science, still immediately slid to attack. A pair of daggers in the form of kris and Champa daggers were milling quickly across each other before reaching the target as a form of distraction.


“I told you, Pratiwi. He is immune,” exclaimed Fong Pak Laoya who looks relaxed.


The annoyed Pratiwi himself instantly retreated and kept his distance. The pirate leader showed his cruel face. He does not laugh like the common traits of criminals who have similar abilities. The sword in his right hand was lifted up, ready to read out.


Goddamnit! Thought Yu.


“Better we just leave him. The ship is on fire. The captain is dead with the guards. You and the slaves we haven't seen. They all jumped into the river and may have already swam to the shore!” yu looked worried.


“Ah, just a second, Yu. Pratiwi, you back off first. Look what I'm gonna do. You especially, Yu. Look carefully at what will happen. Your cutting-edge medical science is nothing with the magic of our ancestors,” reply Laoya with a relaxed tone.


Fong Pak Laoya took out a yellow piece of paper from under his silk robe, then injured one of his fingers with his bending jian before reinserting the weapon into his leather belt. The blood from the wound on his finger was instantly used to write spells with ancient Chinese characters. Fong Pak Laoya cast a slow spell, sort of gargling, but quickly. He lifted the yellow paper with a spell of blood on it and cried out loudly, “I know who you are in there. Jann the black bastard! Two are! You have indeed floated on the face of the earth, swam on the surface of the sea and dwelt in the forests and mountains long before man was created by the source of light, the source of virtue and the source of power. You are trying to take back the power and rights you thought you had before. However, I'm here


it is the noblest creation of the center of light. Then scram!”
