The Thousand Mask Warrior

Lâm

There are five boats that have sailed first compared to several boats that unfortunately have all been victims of the violence of the Thousand Mask Swordsman. They had originally set out from a great camp prepared by the members of the New World which contained the combination of the Annamites and the Champs. The camp of the pirates is clearly supported entirely by insiders from the kingdom of Siam who are secretly able to make the existence of the pirates with the great goal of combining the world in one unit unknown to Ayutthaya. Obviously a movement of this magnitude is not without problems and does not harm all countries.

The path of fraternity and relations between members and the influence of the New World group is indeed difficult to know well. What is clear is that, until now, such a great power was unstoppable, everywhere intruding and still very secretive. Who is their leader and does their goal make sense? Or, why did Jayaseta and his entourage, including those connected to the great figure, become the main targets in their dark plans? These are the questions Jayaseta must answer on his long journey.

The five boats contained the Champa pirates. As if equally strange, the five boats contained seven to ten armed pirates each rowing slowly side by side. Each boat reported the news and discussed the important things about the plans and orders they received.

“The boats behind us are not seen catching up quickly. What keeps them stuck?” said one of the pirates. Champa is armed with a spear, but the eye is shaped like a sword or cleaver curved dha or daap. He was wearing a dull white long-sleeved outfit with buttons sideways from the neck towards the right chest. His black shorts hung from splashes of water. Also seen from the way of talking and the use of a turban-shaped head covering or rolled-up cloth, it could be the leader of this group.

The figure was in one of the two largest boats in the group consisting of five. The two boats are almost similar to a warship on the river belonging to the Champa kingdom consisting of ten soldiers or armed men with ten rowers who are slaves or other additional soldiers who act as a paddler. Some pirates even wore protective clothing from animal skins or metal and chains and wide-academs.

“Or, don't you think the same as me?” said one of the other pirates on the other main boat.

“Our order to help attack Jayaseta's group of comrades on the Lan Xang people ship that was left behind for more than half a day there seems too ridiculous. Once we get there, the battle will be over. Our numbers are too many for them to deal with, then why are we ordered to help our members there?” said another pirate again. “And our colleagues behind, as you say, Lam, it's too long for them to catch up with us. And if we think the same ...,”

“They might even be facing Jayaseta's entourage right now!” cut off the leader who turns out to be named Lam. All eyes looked towards the pirate leader who looked far away.

“Do what you have to do, Lam. Just order us. This plan is too grandiose in my opinion. The old Step Three was too lustful with the Thousand Mask Swordsman who said he was great. Now, imagine once again, as we have discussed, even with our friends who are left on other boats. If the Thousand Mask Warrior dies, what makes the New World profitable? He is said to often collide with members of the New World and disrupt the course of the plan. He often messes up and even makes our members die. If it's as good as that story, anyway, he didn't do it on purpose. If indeed he is so great, it is better we leave it alone rather than sacrificing a lot of people, energy, cost and time. If it turns out Jayaseta wants to follow this group, which is definitely not possible at all, I don't think he will give much progress,” said a bare-breasted pirate, but it was armed with a long spear and a wide shield that was more than half its body.

“What's clear, I'm not sure the Thousand Mask Swordsman is that great. I would love to try out his abilities and prove that the old Step Three has stupid dreams and excessive lust for that figure,” Limpal Lam. “Let me think for a while,” he continued later.

The boat being rowed is being held. The boats instinctively pulled over, following a slower current, waiting for the leader's decision. The silence that happened was not so long, even everyone already knew what the leader would do, what decision he would take.
