The Thousand Mask Warrior

Laminae

As is known, the armor is not too familiar and lay worn by the troops and soldiers of the archipelago. This is because the hot weather of the archipelago countries that make the user will feel stifled and also complicate movement.

It's just that when fighting foreign nations such as bule troops for example, this becomes a matter of harm to the archipelago army itself.

Serikusan years ago, precisely in 1511 AD, the Pranggis attacked the Malay land in Malacca.

Pranggi's bule under Afonso de Albuquerque attacked the port of Malacca with cannons and gunfire from their ships for a week. Malacca's fortresses were destroyed with the bodies of Malacca soldiers scattered.

The Malay troops felt less familiar with the armour which to them felt hot on the body and could make their movements slow. Unfortunately, the cannon and gun attacks penetrated their bodies easily. Even when viewed by the power of weapons, even the soldiers and officers of Pranggi admitted that Malacca weaponry is as good quality as the firearms belonging to European countries such as hundreds of cannons of iron and brass.

Malacca Malay troops only survive behind the fort by returning fire. Of course, their attacks often cannot penetrate the Pranggi troops' armor because it was fired from a distance.

Indeed, there are some warrior warriors who have the knowledge of invulnerability, but not everyone can go through years of training and galvanize themselves into tough champions. These warriors were many who eventually died because of the magnitude of the attack carried out.

There were also found the bodies of Malacca soldiers wearing armor which the Malay tongue called lamina. The Bugis call it lamena and the Torajans call it Sa' Dan. This collarless armor and sleeves are body protectors from sharp weapons attacks or bullets made of metal slabs and chains.

The back is made up of small rectangular brass plates while the front of the clothes is made up of brass rings. Several rectangular brass plates are attached to the brass ring, which extends from the height of the collarbone to around the lower edge of the thoracic rib arch.

The brass plate aims to strengthen the armor chains on the chest and pelvis that are more vulnerable to attack.

However, compared to the Pranggi armor which was intact iron, the lamina was indeed weaker.

The armor and armor of the Pranggis used to attack Malacca still requires adjustments to the temperature and season in the archipelago, let alone they attack using ships, he said, so it's not as heavy and ground troops in Europe there.

Malacca forces can kill Pranggi soldiers at close range, such as arrows, poisonous chopsticks, kris, spears, swords and machetes targeting the neck, armpits, and other areas, thighs and unprotected body parts armor. It was when Pranggi's forces descended to the ground after a week of cannon and gun attacks from the ship.

When arriving at the port and fortress of Malacca, Pranggi soldiers appeared armed with a long spear called pique or pike in the language of British Caucasians.

This spear was unusually long, exceeding the length of the blandar spear. In addition, these pique troops were accompanied by troops with rattlesnakes. These two forces are referred to as terco, which makes it difficult for the enemy to attack because they are both layered, supporting each other.

As is known, that the troops are not many who have the science of canuragan or silat so they utilize science, intelligence and weapons that are capable, concise and advanced.

When the battle that lasted for almost a month ended, the death toll on the Pranggi troops was only about 30 people, he said, although there are hundreds of injured due to attacks from Malacca forces who can approach them and attack body parts that are not protected by armor. Meanwhile, thousands of Malay troops were killed by the attack of the Pranggi people.

Pratiwi was already standing before Sasangka who had just carried the unconscious Jayaseta.

He wore a similar battle garment with lamina vest, with iron plates made by Sukadana in Tanjung Pura country that were connected with iron chains. The two iron plates that Jayaseta had captured had been repaired and refitted with new plates.

Pratiwi also designed the shirt by combining the science of Caucasians such as Pranggi and Walanda so that the quality of the iron plate is good but still worn according to the style of the archipelago to be easy to move, so that the quality of the iron plate is good but still worn according to the style of the archipelago to make it easy to move, in contrast to Pranggi armor that must be worn in an atmosphere of great war and protected by other forces.

A pair of ends of his keris without its curl face down, dripping with fresh blood.

Sasangka put Jayaseta's body to the ground and pulled his wedhung back.

If you do not see the insanity and cruelty of this young girl, Sasangka would agree with most men that the figure of Pratiwi is beautiful.

Her tiny body was dense, including a pair of her tiny breasts hidden behind the back of a lamina vest. Her sweet black skin was smoothly soaked by sweat that reflected the sunlight that crawled up into the crown.

Sasangka looked behind Pratiwi but did not find his three colleagues.

"Don't bother looking. They've been taken straight to hell," said Pratiwi still cold.

Sasangka's grip and fingers on the wedhung handle strengthened until he himself felt pain. He could not believe that this cruel woman had managed to kill all three of his colleagues in just a few breaths.

His anger peaked until he wanted to get out through the top of his head.

Sasangka shouted loudly as he rushed towards Pratiwi, "*******! Killed you! Huiyaa ... !!"

Pratiwi apparently did not want to spend time linger with people who clearly look like a bull injured because they found his friends had died at his hands. Pratiwi is undaunted, even a bull is just an animal.

Pratiwi took a step back, took another step and rolled aside until Sasangka's three consecutive strikes escaped. No need for long, one of Pratiwi keris easily entered the thigh Sasangka. Pratiwi retracted it and gave one hard kick to the enemy's hip.

Sasangka screamed in pain and fell two spears away, unconscious.

Pratiwi approaches Jayaseta. A sincere and unadulterated worried face from his face. He removed the Hanuman mask from Jayaseta's face. The face of this girl is filled with haru, admiration, longing and romance when she sees the face of the idol. "Back Jayaseta. Forgive the sister who did not understand the situation of the leg all this time. Adinda did not know about the wound in the leg," Pratiwi wiped her tears that suddenly fell. "But Adinda promised to take the leg away from here and find a panacea so that the leg can heal and we can be together forever" he said.

Pratiwi knelt down to Jayaseta about to touch her when he felt a wind coming from behind his body.

Pratiwi jumped up and rolled forward. Narendra's trident spear pierced through empty space.

Pratiwi got up in annoyance. A pair of his keris were again tightly grasped.

Behind him, Katilapan threw a pair of rattan sticks his time. Pratiwi easily twitched on one stick and brushed the other with his keris.

The bed roared forward and thrust its ginunting like the beak of an eagle. Pratiwi again dodged, and rolled when Narendra did not stay silent to attack with his trident spear.

Pratiwi growled no less fierce. He has to get Jayaseta out of here. It should finish both********* this rancid.

With the agile movement of a squirrel, Pratiwi cut the distance between himself and Narendra with his long spear. He rolled and jumped so that a pair of his keris approached the enemy.

Narendra flinched when the tip of the keris kissed his cheek. He retreated far back and felt blood flowing from his wound.

Pratiwi did not stop, he threw his body after Narendra. The one who felt attacked threw his trident spear to block the Pratiwi's pace.

Pratiwi just rotated so that the spear throw did not hit him, but apparently Narendra had picked up wedhung belonging to Sasangka who fell to the ground. He also threw it at Pratiwi.

The swordsman girl was shocked, but still able to dodge. Unfortunately, he did not realize that Katilapan had attacked him.

Two slashes towards the head of Pratiwi he can avoid, but one stab and two strokes cross at once hit the body of Pratiwi.

Sparks of fire were seen before the Pratiwi jerked backward.

Pratiwi. The water on his face turned horrible, "Nobody can touch me but Jayaseta's leg!" abugn.
