The Thousand Mask Warrior

Crossed Foot Horses

The cannon fodder was ready to strafe the approaching pirate ships quickly. All eyes were on the sailing boats on one side of the ship. Firearms and sharp weapons have also been firmly in the grasp of the crew and passengers. Even the slaves were held in long machetes.

However, Jayaseta suddenly felt something was not right. Something strange was felt in the attack of these pirates. As usual, his sensitive feelings as a swordsman began to show his writh.

“Strike those boats!” the command of the captain of the ship's guard force was shouted out loudly splitting the silence that had just come suddenly.

The cannon blast was deafening, the smoke from its snout pouring thickly along with the crew's battle cry. Sailing boats splashed with fire from gunfire powder and wood chips soared into the air and fell into the ocean. Not only that, the gunfire of young bedels and other crew members rained down on the assault ship.

P*the lead gun from the big jung was raining through the rag screen and into the empty space on the boats.

Wait .... empty space?

Yes, the ships are empty! Jayaseta's screams in the heart.

Shortly from the other side of Jayaseta's empty junkyard, about seven to eight people who were bare-chested appeared, they are colored with their faces covered in black cloth and leave a small part open to both eyes. Their wet naked dark bodies explain that they were creeping up on the side of the ship from the water.

It turned out that they were using the sailing boats to trick the guards because the pirates were diving and boarding the ship from the opposite side.

This was the greatest carelessness of the captain of King Nio, as for a short time two slaves on board had fallen covered in blood, either dead or severely injured. The pirates carried a sharp weapon in the form of a dagger, which was carried by biting it in the mouth.

This short dagger seems to have been chosen by pirates because it is compact and easy to carry, especially when they decide to carry out an attack plan by deceiving the victim ship like this.

It's just that they really have to be sure that the eight people they sent to ambush secretly had a qualified magic kanuragan because the short dagger is not as powerful as the use of machetes, he said, kelewang or swords in terms of distance, let alone they were sent to deal with rifles.

Sure enough, with the limitation of distance, these first-current pirates could not help but make use of circumstances and time. They are not waiting at all. The opportunity to cheat and board this ship is something they had planned from the beginning, therefore this opportunity will not be possible for them to let go. The enemy is caught off guard anyway.

They stormed as quickly as they could to injure and possibly even finish off the gunmen on board the junks.

The cries of war instantly exploded on the ship.

Jayaseta was surprised because the attacks of these pirates were so fast. He was silent in one breath. The agility and the ability of the pirates can't be considered trivial, especially Jayaseta feel on the sea this is one of his weaknesses.

"Hoi, people overlap. Why would you take me if not for self-defense? Fight them before you get yourself killed!" king Nio's shout sent Jayaseta into action.

These eight-man early current pirates moved nimbly and fiercely. They have quite different silat styles. The pirates made twisting movements on one axis with both legs crossed on the deck of the ship that swayed due to the waves of the ocean.

They move like a collection of small hurricanes swirling through the enemy. Two three shots escaped bedil avoided because of the swirling movement of their moves.

Their dagger stabs also became extremely dangerous to their attackers. So that even the crew who like to keep a distance from the rampage of the pirates who spin, forward and thrust their weapons.

Actually these pirates hold a special weapon from the Mangkasar, Bugis and Luwu people called badik or kawali. This weapon is used by the Celebes people like the Javanese using a keris.

It is clear that the people of Celebes terurama Mangkasar, Bugis and Luwu have been famous for sticking close to badminton weapons or their control.

Jayaseta could not hold on much longer before the bodies began to fall. He was suddenly reminded of the existence of the strange foreign grandfather on the deck that last night told a long story and no less strange.

Jayaseta felt Ireng Lokajaya's mask hung on her belt, then put it on.

Tapuka mask had been forced, as if the universe was absorbed into his body.

Jayaseta gets into battle.

His No-Stroke is melted with movements that adjust the situation on the ship as when fighting with Katilapan and his colleagues first.

When a crewman was almost stabbed in the hull by a sword attack escaped, Jayaseta scatters and splashes his horse.

The pirate pulls his hand from his original attack if he does not want to lose his arm.

He crossed his legs and showed his body as low as possible. Jayaseta himself was then slightly shaken when a wave shook the ship and his body. The pain in the stomach as if rising to the throat.

Jayaseta suppressed his drunkenness by teaching pure energy in the direction of his stomach.

In just two quick breaths, the pirate directly attacked Jayaseta.

Apparently, cross-legged legs, in addition to easy to rotate and move weight quickly. Coupled with a lowered body, the body of the fighter will stick like a peg and do not waver when the ship swayed by the waves.

In addition, this style of silat is very well used in combat with a narrow distance such as on the deck of the ship. That is also why the pirates try to continue to stick and squeeze the enemy.

Jayaseta was tickled from two to three stabs of the pirate. He then shifted to the left side when the enemy again thrust his badikk.

Then Jayaseta turned around, crossed her legs and lowered her body. He also directly mengambatkan kudi who hit the chest of the attacker, making the body of the pirate was thrown backwards. One pirate should be reduced.

From the corner of his eye, Jayaseta saw two wounded gunmen on his hands and feet. They retreated and found it difficult to enter the pe*luru and fire it.

The three pirates who wounded the two shooters stopped attacking and finished them off to see one of their most important comrades collapse backwards. The two then ganged up on Jayaseta.

Two of these pirates were confronted by a passenger wearing a mask and imitating their horses. An unusual sight. Moreover, this strange masked figure had just dropped one of their comrades. It could be that there are master swordsmen on the deck of the ship they are robbing this.
