Login Murim Episode 1010
“In the end, is that what you decided?”
I nodded to Jeokcheon-gang’s question.
“yes. “I guess I’ll have to stay here.”
Perhaps, if Ma Jung-geol and his subordinates had arrived half a day late, I would have already been heading to Cheonghae Castle with the Hwaryong Pavilion members.
‘Because as of now, Gansu Castle’s power is sufficient.’
The communal faction and the Jongnam faction.
The two giant trees, each belonging to the nine factions, are holding on, and the Black Dragon Demon Gate, led by Sima Gong, is by no means inferior to them.
The Black Islands and Sects flocking under the command of the Black Dragon Demon Gate may be inferior in quality, but their sheer number alone is an enormous force.
But now things have changed.
Amcheon’s large army, estimated to number at least tens of thousands, was a problem, but the biggest reason I decided to stay in Gansu was time.
Time for them to storm here.
“When exactly did you return to Ninghe?”
The greeter answered.
“It was three days ago. I arrived in the middle of the night, so it’s safe to say it was two days ago.
“Three days ago?”
When Jeokcheon-gang frowned at the sudden intervention, the pick-up girl hurriedly continued speaking.
“Well, we too are in an emergency right now, so we were busy delivering urgent news to various parts of Ninghe and moving our subordinates.”
It seems like he interpreted the previous reaction as why the guy who arrived three days ago only came to visit now, but I knew why Jeokcheongang frowned. ‘Just around that time.’
A memory suddenly flashes through my mind.
Hundreds of people were trembling in fear, fearing that a bandit group was walking around not far away.
To them, Ninghe Castle would still have been perceived as a lawless place, and the chaotic atmosphere caused by the urgent news delivered by Ma Jung-geol would have been considered an attack by magic bandits.
Because it happened so recently, Hao Wen, a member of the Shaanxi District Department, probably did not know the details of the situation.
‘Is it because of this in the end?’
Things in the world go round and round, but at the same time they all come together.
The result of one incident became the starting point of another incident, which eventually led to the present.
And the greeting girl’s answer that she arrived three days ago was enough to make everyone’s mind confused.
“So, how long did it take to get back?”
In response to the question of the Wind Cloud Swordmaster, he pointed out a greeting finger.
“Let’s see.” It took seven days and seven days to get out of the desert, and one more day to cross the grassland again, so it’s about the same amount as a kayak.”
“for a moment. Didn’t you say a little while ago that it took 20 days just to get there? In addition, I tracked the dark stream for a day and a half.”
“That’s right. However, the situation is different when you first pass through the road and when you return. “Are we called horsemen, or rather horsemen, for no reason?”
Wow w
• •case’
This is an undeniable counterargument.
Just as the extreme expert Windwoon Swordgun can guess the opponent’s level and what type of martial arts he has learned just by looking at some of his first moves, there is no one who can follow the magic bandit and horseman when it comes to moving in search of the fastest route.
“Excessive caution can be toxic. “There are other things that are truly important.”
Jeokcheon-gang, who stopped the Windwoon Sword army, who was unable to speak easily, stared at Ma Jung-geol.
“If you were leading an army of tens of thousands of people, how long would it take to reach this place?”
“That, that.”
The greeting girl, who was thinking deeply about something, soon sighed.
“It is difficult to give an easy answer. but······
“but?”
“Assuming that you are fully equipped with all materials, including camels and desert horses, and that all of you are skilled enough to withstand a massive forced march… Yes. “No matter how late it is, it’s only one month.”
“one month. “It’s only one month.” “Of course, in some cases it may be much shorter than that.”
Sima Gong’s face, who was listening to the story, hardened at a word that Ma Zhongjie added while looking at his eyes.
“What kind of case are you talking about?”
“Have you forgotten? We were delayed longer than necessary because we had to cross the plains, but at that time, we found out that their location was not far from Gansu. Even considering the enormous military force…
The greeting girl, with a faint expression, swallowed dry saliva and continued speaking.
“One to twenty days will be enough,
“······!”
The air in the conference room was cold.
No, it wasn’t just cold, it was frozen like a glacier.
The people who realized something they had forgotten for a moment at the greeting girl’s words looked at each other with wide eyes.
right.
Unlike Ma Junggeol, who had to return the way she came as quickly as possible, Amcheon had another option. It’s an advance.
The option is not to go through the plains, but to immediately collapse the front line and break through with overwhelming force.
And if they had chosen to attack head-on, there was literally only a handful of time left before the battle broke out.
‘The next day or two.’
Of course, this is assuming the worst case scenario.
No one knows yet whether the great army of Amcheon stayed in that spot for a few more days right after Ma Jung-geol left, or whether it is still there now.
But now we always have to keep the worst-case scenario in mind. Because that is war.
“I think we should throw away any more idle talk. “Don’t everyone think that way?”
Above Jeokcheongang’s soft voice that broke the silence, a clear bell sound that did not suit the current situation was overlaid.
Tiring.
Clang.
Would it be like this if a small mountain were moving?
Black Dragon Demon Gate and Jongnam Sect.
And when Sima Gong added the hundreds of warriors he had requisitioned from nearby areas, the number gathered, not exceeding two thousand but close to three thousand, and the endless number of human horses spread out behind them.
As I was staring at the waves, I suddenly turned my gaze into space.
To be precise, towards the translucent hologram window floating somewhere in the air.
Ongoing quest conditions have been met!
Heading west (complete).
You have successfully completed the quest, [Desert Haze!
Quest rewards are paid out!
Gained a large amount of experience and reputation!
With the completion of [Desert Haze], a new linked quest has been created.
– Would you like to check out the new quest? Y/N.
Just one meal.
Considering the time it took for a large army of 3,000 troops to complete all preparations and go out, it was extremely short, and there was no way that there would be time to check the newly created linked quest.
‘Of course, it was already somewhat predictable, so there was no need to rush to check.’
I held the reins and recited a command in my mind as I ran with great force.
‘Quest window opens.’
Band ring.
［Road of Blood】
In the distant past, this land was a trade route connecting continents, but today it is facing a major crisis.
The merchants from foreign countries with unfamiliar features and the people who crossed the desert and headed to foreign countries with cartloads of silk no longer exist.
The rulers of the vast desert have cut off the trade routes that enriched the central plains, and now they want everything within their walls.
The old days of overflowing silk are already a thing of the past.
Countless amounts of steel and blood. And only the corpse will be the present and future of this earth,

‘I knew it.’
To some extent, this was expected. No, I can clearly see that if I fail, it won’t end like that.
‘If Gansu Province’s front line collapses, then the entire west will be in danger.’ War is no different from dominoes. No matter how carefully and meticulously you prepare from start to finish, just one mistake will destroy everything you have built so far.
‘We have to stop it before it’s too late.’ The good news was that Gansu Murim’s response was thorough.
A whopping three-tiered front line and over 30,000 troops deployed differentially according to importance. And among the three fronts, Dunhuang (敎違), which was placed at the forefront, was a distance that could be covered in three days if one gave one’s best effort.
Silk road.
For people in the modern world, the Silk Road (Silk
This area, better known as ■1〉, was an endless series of plains and wilderness.
There is no need to slow down to pass through a narrow road, and there is no terrain so rugged that one should abandon one’s horse.
All you had to do was run without stopping until the horse collapsed from exhaustion.
the problem is······.
‘Damcheon. It’s the same with those guys:
That is why not even a single second can be delayed.
Even if there are camels and desert horses, the speed of movement in the desert is limited to some extent, but the story is different when you enter a land covered with dirt and grass rather than sand.
Dunhuang will be the first domino to fall, and tens of thousands of enemies will soon cover Gansu Province like a swarm of locusts…
“What are you looking at so intently?” ”······!”
“What, are you looking at the shape of the clouds?” Not gonna lie, I was really shocked.
Not because of the sudden voice, but because of the vicious impression that filled my vision as soon as I turned my head.
“damn. It’s a surprise. Will it happen suddenly?”
As expected from a former horse rider and current stable owner, the horse rider, who was showing unwavering comfort even on a horse saddle that was shaking violently, answered.
“It’s nothing special. “You were just staring into space, so I tried to talk to you.”
“Who cares where I go? And I don’t think we’re that close?”
“Of course not. “You’re the one who rained arrows on me three times.”
I responded harshly to the girl who was greeting me, her face frowning with an extremely ferocious look.
“So?”
“······There is no such thing as conscience? And, even if it’s only twice, what on earth were you thinking when you gave the order to fire the last three times?”
“just. If I do it twice, I’m afraid it might seem insincere.，，
“end. “Okay?”
At the vague answer, I opened my mouth like I was looking at a crazy person waiting to meet me.
“Whatever happens? “Are you human?” “I think that’s what I should say.” “······What does that mean now?” What does it mean? Even though I know everything.
However, my heart is too soft to assault facts based on what appears.
I shrugged my shoulders without saying a word and suddenly thought as I looked at the girl who greeted me.
‘Anyway, what I’m sure of is that it’s completely different.
If you just look at his face, there’s nothing wrong with him being so evil and evil that he could bring destruction to the world, but if you look at what he does or his rarely revealed personality, he has a surprisingly foolish side. Even now that he has become a half-hostage due to the strong claims of some of the leaders who have not yet let go of their suspicions toward Ma Jung-geol and other stable members, he is showing such a carefree appearance.
