The Thousand Mask Warrior

Nakhon Si Thammarat's

In 1629 AD, the king of Ayutthaya at that time, Prasat Thong, wanted to cut off the influence of the Japanese in the land of Siam which had become stronger. As a result, Yamada Nagamasa, who was the leader of a Japanese village or Ban Yipun in the central city of Ayutthaya at the time, opposed Prasat Thong's decision. As a result he was sent to the Nakhon Si Thammarat region as a leader there, having learned that many Siamese officials were also strongly opposed to the Japanese.

There, the Japanese leader had formed a group of Japanese society, but in just one year, in 1630 AD, the power of Yamada Nagasama was overthrown. He was killed and the Japanese settlement of Nakhon Si Thammarat was destroyed. The Ayutthaya kingdom sent a Persian merchant who had obtained the position of chief judge of Ayutthaya. His name is Sheikh Ahmad. His high office made him Boworn Rajnayok Chaophraya and worked as Chao Kromma Tha Kwa, which gave him control over trade and settled matters between foreigners, except China.

With his great power, Sheikh Ahmad who is also known as Chula Rajmontri or Syakh al-Islam, the leader of Muslims in Ayutthaya, he had previously had the experience of destroying the Japanese forces who wanted to carry out a rebellion movement against the Ayutthaya kingdom in 1611 AD. So, attacking Yamada Nagasama and his Japanese society a few years later is also not a difficult thing. Even the Japanese community village of Nakhon Si Thammarat was burned to the ground. This made many Japanese who survived, fleeing to the Khmer kingdom.

Currently, there are already several Japanese hitmen who re-enter Nakhon Si Thammarat secretly. These seven assassins, accompanied by five Khmer fighters, came disguised as traffickers. They had already been ordered by the God of Step Three to spy on Jayaseta's entourage. The old middle-aged swordsman was very aware of the nature of the young and impatient warriors from the New World. That is the difficulty of arranging for warriors who are both thirsty for battle.

The Three Step Gods deliberately sent them in large numbers, so that when they were impatient when they were simply asked to spy who decided to attack Jayaseta, at least they numbered quite a lot. He hoped the Japanese warriors could be made aware that Jayaseta was not their opponent. And when the time came, the God of Step Three hoped that only one of this group would survive and be able to report everything to him.

Now they decided to spread out together to find news throughout the city, including through the river. It took several days to find news of the existence of the New World's most wanted group. Meanwhile, on the other hand, if Jayaseta decides to walk later, overland, it could take tens of days to get to Nakhon Si Thammarat.

On the other hand, the convoy of Lan Xang people continued down the main river to Ayutthaya. Sasangka and Jaka Pasirluhur are on one deck. Jaka Pasirluhur was in the bow, while Sasangka decided to stay in the stern. Jaka Pasirluhur actually felt amused by the behavior of the unknown figure. Who is he who really feels worthy of the name Jayaseta. Even though he behaves the same way. It becomes more ticklish.

The guard soldiers of the Lan Xang people paid high respect to the two Javanese. They have limited speech because they have different languages. However, they are aware that whoever they are, the skills of the science of the two people are very qualified. The two were the ones who were all out guarding the ship from the attack for the sake of the pirates of Annam and Champa. Their greatness cannot be underestimated because both of them finish off anyone who tries to seize the ship.

Be Sasangka and Jaka Pasirluhur reflect on each other about the future of their journey, including the strange, funny and laughable things they experienced.
