The Thousand Mask Warrior

Retarded

It is noted that the relationship of the Champa people and the archipelago, also in the history of Java is very close. Princess Dwarawati or Anarawati, a princess of the Muslim kingdom of Champa, was married by Kertawijaya or Brawijaya Lima, the seventh king of Majapahit kingdom. The Champa woman had a great influence on religious teachings so that the Majapahit royal family finally embraced Islam. Not only that, actually culturally and linguistically, there are similarities with the people of Aceh and Tanjung Pura islands and Malay tribes in general, especially those influenced by Hindustani religion.

Therefore, if you do not pay attention well, the Champa people may be considered to be the archipelago people, not part of the Annam group that is often with them, especially in the group of pirates.

Lam looked at the pirates who could be said to be all Champa people, including the rowers who were not slaves, but reserve pirates as well.

“Prepare well your weapons. I doubted at first that Jayaseta the Swordsman of the Thousand Masks was as powerful as what the people in the martial world were buzzing about. However, we cannot simplify the situation let alone underestimate the enemy. We have to be ready when Jayaseta has something on him, greatness or whatever. In addition, we must also consider the people who are with him. No matter how unbelieving we are to the God of Step Three, he must have his own considerations in giving orders and consider Jayaseta as someone who is tough and cannot be underestimated. Therefore, the only way, we will turn around and finish off Jayaseta and his entourage as soon as possible. If it doesn't seem like what's been said, it's much better. After all, I think, our group back there would have also been able to finish them first if Jayaseta was not crowded,” said Lam.

Others began to argue with this commandment.

“Then, what if our colleagues turned out back there just late, they really missed the group, Lam?” said one of the first pirates spoke to Lam.

“Means we all invite them to turn the direction and pursue the smooth ride Jayaseta and his entourage. We're really going to change our plans. We'll quickly destroy Jayaseta and his ship. That way, our actions will only be considered as ordinary piracy and our plans will still not be palpable by any government, especially Ayutthaya,” replied Lam, the leader of the pirates. “Play your boats. This time we will complete this plan. We finish Jayaseta the Thousand Mask Swordsman,” continued Lam exclaiming.

His cry was greeted with a roar from the other Champa pirates. Now, they turned around, back down the river in the opposite direction. It took longer to get to where they had crossed paths with the Malay people, but their small boat would still be able to catch up with the much larger lancan.

The pirates obviously wished they still had a beam, even the very bright one they could see. They crave the light coming from the burning ship or at least the torches and lamps from the boats of their comrades ahead. But even until nightfall, they still mumbled to find nothing.

“Lam, you should see this!” suddenly a rower who was also a reserve pirate soldier felt his oar hit something. He immediately checked the object he had hit earlier, then asked for the approval of friends behind him to convince what they saw.

He went straight to the place the rower showed him. “The corpse of the pirate Annam,” his murmur.

True, the rower turned out to find a corpse of the pirate Annam who from his clothes they are quite familiar because it came from a group. The corpse was stirring the water flow, but it was held back by the roots of a large tree that grew to the edge of the river.

“Quick, faster paddle. We have to go to the source,” exclaimed Be more careful now. He was absolutely convinced that the war was already raging. The body of the pirate Annam is buktina. However, he did not see at all any glimmer of light ahead as a sign of a battle.

The question was then answered already when he saw several boats moored on the banks of the river around where their boats cross paths with the Malay fluoresce that Jayaseta and his group boarded, no sign of fighting at all over the river. There was already a battle, but now the goal of Lam and her comrades was no longer to pursue a lancan, but to follow where his comrades had disappeared. There must be a reason behind their actions.
