The Thousand Mask Warrior
Big Attention
DAR!
DAR!
DAR!
Three to four times the sound of a firearm eruption did not in any way surprise the fighters: Sasangka, Jaka Pasirluhur and Arthit who were fighting looked at each other quickly, then looked around with caution. The horses again developed, but this time, not to attack each other, but to prepare themselves from what will be faced.
About ten men, dressed in foreign army uniforms, gushed from the grass and trees . The rifles in their hands were clasped and the muzzle was aimed squarely at the three warriors. All are Caucasians.
In the 15th century AD, the Pranggi people led a variety of worldwide explorations into the archipelago, opening other explorations for other Caucasian nations. Pranggi aims to trade and open a sea route to the famous and famous spice islands in order to obtain wealth and success.
In fact, this bule country has arrived in 1511 AD to the land of Siam, a hundred years earlier than other Caucasians.
That year, Afonso de Albuquerque captured Malacca, the main centre of trade in the region. In doing so he and his army also released several Pranggis who had been detained there, one of whom was a tailor named Duarte Fernandes. Fernandes had learned the Malay language and was chosen by Albuquerque to lead the task of statehood to Siam because Malacca was a vassal state of Siam.
And so in 1511 AD, a Pranggi tailor arrived in Ayutthaya. Duarte Fernandes came rather modestly aboard a Chinese junkyard, as the first envoy from the bule country. He received King Ramathibodi II by presenting a golden sword in a diamond-encrusted sheath and a polite letter confirming Pranggi's conquest of Malacca. It seems that this strange stranger pleased the King who gladly accepted Pranggi's conquest of Malacca. Fernandes returns to Malacca with a Siamese envoy with lavish gifts for King Pranggi.
During this initial relationship between Siam and Pranggi, each side has considered each other and considered their goals and interests. The Siamese understood that the Pranggis had trading interests and were looking to make a profit, while the Pranggis realized that what the Siamese were looking for the most was their possession of weapons and advanced military knowledge and equipment.
Although Arab traders had previously bought weapons and cannons to Siam, Pranggi not only offered the latest improvements in these equipment and know-how but also the Pranggis themselves to teach the use and how to make them. Pranggi will set up a weapons foundry factory in Ayutthaya. Even before the treaty of friendship was signed, King Ramathibodi II hired about 100 Pranggi soldiers to march north to Lampang to teach lessons to King Chiangmai who had annexed Sukhothai and Kamphaeng Phet.
From then on, the Pranggi mercenaries became an important part of the Siamese army and the King's personal bodyguards.
As is known, the Pranggi people also have a village or residence of the Pranggi people in the southern part of the capital Ayutthaya.
That is why, no wonder get the Pranggi Caucasian troops to interfere with any security problems that occur in the territory of the country of Siam. However, whether the matter of state what else is so complicated that the real Pranggi soldiers are upper-class troops hired as the king's private troops are in this place, interfere in the affairs of ordinary fights that may tend to enter the realm of crime rather than the security of the kingdom and the country.
Arthit smiles. He is happy when it turns out that what he is doing now is getting great attention from the kingdom. Meaning, what he is facing is something big and fast. He was already hungry and thirsty for a great fight that might perfect his achievements as a swordsman.
Sasangka and Jaka Pasirluhur who, although aware that their journey will always get problems and challenges, are currently too confused by the complexity of this state problem. However, all three knew that they could not stand idly by the threat of gunpoint aimed at them.
