Episode 675
Reversal (7)
I don’t know anything else, but Cheoljanggae’s ability to convey information was truly remarkable.
A call for openness was made to the sects or masters who were entrenched in various parts of Shaanxi. The speed was unprecedented, which also meant that the situation was urgent.
“that…!”
“I have nothing else to say to my in-laws. Just trust this person just this once. We made a lot of preparations for Hwasan, but the target changed to Jongnam. “Whoever it is, shouldn’t they go help?”
“Of course it is. Even Jongnam would definitely have come to help us.”
“Whether it is or not, we must go. Daesoo Yeon Ho-jeong and his group have already moved. “They are amazing experts, but it would be difficult for them to handle the vanguard on their own.”
“All right. I will call the plum blossom swordsmen and elders who can be mobilized immediately. Please understand that we are leaving a minimum number of troops at the headquarters just in case.”
“Hehe, I’m just an old guy who retired from the front line. “I’m just grateful that Sason came forward and gave it to me.”
“How can you say that? “Even if the Four Baekjo elders don’t say this, everyone will have to go help.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Are you saying that damn human being did that?”
“That’s right… not just a cow! “That’s not important now, but when did you get here?”
“Something big happened in Sacheon. I was on my way to visit Master, and the timing was perfect. This isn’t going to work. “I need to gather some beggars too.”
“Of course you should. Would you like to join us?”
“Don’t you know the situation in Shaanxi better than me? “I will lead the troops, so Elder Cheoljanggae please take charge.”
“I understand. If you do, leave right now. “The situation is urgent.”
“All right. “I’ll see you when you come back alive!”
“Don’t say things like that! Of course, you have to come back safely! How difficult must it be for the Lord to raise disciples again?!”
“…I’ve been curious about this for a long time. Does everyone have to have a few needles on their tongues to be able to use the main method? “Is that what an elder would say?!”
“what? Jongnam?”
“That’s right.”
“…But why did you contact us?”
“If you don’t help me, I will completely destroy your entire base in Shaanxi.”
“You crazy dog, Yeonggam Taegi!”
“It didn’t seem like a joke, did it? It felt like fire was coming out of his eyes. I have tried my best to ignore requests for various things in the past, but if you ignore me again this time…” “
…are you saying that you are going to go all out in the open?”
“If Jongnam collapses, or even if he doesn’t collapse, if he takes a big hit, Shaanxi will be in quite a bit of disarray.”
“For us, this is truly a genius opportunity.”
“yes. “If you know that, won’t you be the first to attack us?”
“Anyway, you’re an old man who looks like a snarky snake.”
“What should I do?”
“What should I do!” How can powerless b*stards like us ignore the petty words of elders in general?! I have to take it all with me! “F*ck!”
“what? Are you going too, Moonju?”
“What if I don’t go? “I’m going to send all my subordinates away and ask if I’ve had a drink alone, so they’ll come and hit me with a stick, so how can I stay still?!”
“Hey, you’re in trouble again. That’s right. Would Moonju be beaten by an old man like that with a stick? That famous person these days… who was it… Ah! “Yes, there is no one among the younger generation who can compete with Master Mun unless he is at the level of Tiger Sword Ssangwi.”
“That old man is not young, dude.”
“Anyway, if I draw my sword, Master Mun can’t lose.”
“then? Should we kill that old man and fight against the government?”
“…ah?”
“ah? It’s a mess. “Since we brought something like this as a soldier, the future of the text is bright.”
“So shall we leave now?”
“Gather everything! Let’s go! “F*ck!”
From prestigious families that are famous all over the world to sects that have grown in power without anyone knowing.
The strength of those who ran to help Jongnam, each with their spears drawn, was so splendid that they could withstand any external enemy.
However, no matter how fast they were, they could not be faster than the troops of Saeum, who fought all kinds of battles in the harsh land of Sae-o-o.
When each faction gathered troops and started running towards Jongnam, a large organization called Hyeolrangdan under Myeonggeuk had already entered a position about a hundred miles ahead of Jongnam.
* * *
Flash!
Yeon Ho-jeong, who had closed his eyes in meditation, opened them fiercely.
His face was extremely cold as he slowly stood up and looked towards the north.
Paeyul asked.
“Did you feel something?”
“It stinks.”
“What’s the smell?”
“A fierce and harsh smell… the lingering scent of murderous intent that cannot be hidden no matter how hard you try.”
Paeyul’s eyes wavered.
“Are you an enemy?”
“It seems so. “An immeasurable killing intent is heading here.”
“…Damn it.”
Paeyul glanced behind him.
Jongnam’s prose was visible. Behind it, numerous spacious and ornately decorated halls and palaces were visible.
“That side isn’t ready yet.”
“okay.”
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“It doesn’t look like they’re going to attack right away. “I think I’m pretty tired of all the mess.”
“Can you feel that too?”
“It’s just a feeling. “I could be wrong.”
“But the odds of getting hit are high, right?”
“I trust my intuition.”
“Then when do you think they will invade this place?”
“I don’t know about that. However, in order to destroy the Mercury side on the offensive side, a surprise attack is the best.”
“…It’s night.”
“yes. “There isn’t much left.”
Unlike ordinary people, masters of inner strength can see somewhat clearly even at night.
But no matter how brightly you see it, night is night. Moreover, in order to see clearly, you must use your inner energy to strengthen your eyesight. Considering that it requires conscious attention, the technique of a night raid was equally applicable to the martial arts people.
“I can’t be sure though. It’s only a little over a hundred miles, but if you make up your mind and start charging, it’s quick. None of them are ordinary experts. “The physical strength will be distributed well.”
“Then what should we do?”
Yeon Ho-jeong pursed his lips.
“Cheonggung… Heavenly Hall… Taicheng House… Northeast….”
“What are you doing?”
Yeon Ho-jeong did not answer. It was just a list of words whose meanings were unknown.
Paeyul, who was quietly watching the scene, crossed his arms. He thought there was no need to touch Yeonhojeong now.
After a while.
“Where do you think is the most appetizing place to visit Jongnam outside?”
“What are you talking about out of nowhere?”
“Tell me.”
Why is this happening again?
Paeyul grumbled but answered obediently.
“I guess it depends on what kind of guys are on the attacking side. “If by chance I came with arrows or artillery, I would likely aim for the blue mokae in the northwest.”
“What if they are ordinary martial people with spear knives?”
“What are you worried about? If it’s not the entrance to the mountain gate…”
“….”
“Could it be towards Sadoam (思道巖) in the southwest?”
“Good to see you.”
There was definitely a sense of defeat. Hwang Seok-tae would have known better, but considering that he had never operated a unit before, Paeyul’s tactical insight could be said to be remarkable.
“It is unlikely to come in prose. Even if the enemy forces overwhelm Jongnam, if they enter the mountain gate fairly, the damage will be too great. In addition, the place where Mercury’s advantage can be best utilized is connected to the mountain gate, and Mercury’s advantage becomes Gongseong’s handshake.”
“Then is it really Sadoam?”
“Sadoam and Cheongmokae. You’ll have to look at both. Of course, we have to block the most efficient places that the offensive side sees, and we also have to block the most dangerous places that we could not imagine.”
“I have one question.”
Paeyul frowned.
“We are now in Jongnam, we have snooped around here and there, and we have learned the topography under the guidance of Elder Hongjeok, but do they know this place well?”
“I don’t know that.”
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed.
“Because we don’t know, we have to follow it even more thoroughly. However, they are well aware of the status of the Old Daemun Sect. “We are going to attack the Great Gate Sect, so wouldn’t you at least know where its weak point is?”
“Well, there are probably three people that we don’t know about, hiding all over the central plains.”
“First of all…”
Yeon Ho-jeong turned around.
“Let’s meet the elders first.”
After a while.
When the two arrived at the Jongnam Sect’s palace, several elders appeared before them.
Yeon Ho-jeong took control.
“This is Yeon Ho-jeong, leader of the Murim League’s military forces.”
He deliberately did not mention that he was a special deputy of the Mukryongbu. It was because I didn’t want to backlash against them for no reason.
Looking at Yeon Ho-jeong like that, Pae-yul thought that she was really putting up with a lot.
Elder Gu Yun, the elder standing in the center, bowed.
“This is how you view the young governor of Uijeong-gun. Elder Gu Yun. “It’s an honor to meet you like this.”
“you’re welcome.”
“Since the situation is a situation, let’s get straight to the point. Did you say that an external enemy dispatched troops to attack Jongnam?”
The loss rate was frustrating.
It’s been a while since I spoke to Hong Jeok and held a meeting of elders, but he’s still saying things like that.
Yeon Ho-jeong said calmly.
“We are already about a hundred miles ahead.”
“what?!”
The elders, including Guyun, were surprised.
“The murderous intent carried by the wind is heading this way. I don’t know their strength yet, but I don’t think they are ordinary guys. And among them… there is one whose energy cannot be read.”
In other words, it meant that he was equal to or stronger than himself.
Gu Yun asked urgently.
“They’re already around here? “Is that true?”
“That’s right.”
“How do you know that?”
“Because it gets read.”
“You can read it? “How?”
You might be curious. Jongnam may think that this is a procedure that must be confirmed.
But not for Paeyul.
I don’t know how long I’ve been holding back my bubbling stomach until now. Paeyul screamed hysterically.
“Is that important now?!”
The loud, resounding voice spread beyond the upper palace and into the conduit in all directions.
“They are desperate to take over the entire midfield! Their troops are at a level where it wouldn’t be surprising if they started an all-out war with the central plains right now! “Those guys are already right around the corner, and you’ve been holding meetings and not even gathering troops!”
It was a voice full of anger.
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Paeyul.
“Seniors. Please stop.”
“You do it in moderation too! “You can’t let the guests who came to help come in, but you can’t just leave them standing outside, and you’re telling them to stay still while watching them take their time and just have a meeting for half a day?!”
Hongjeok shouted in an angry voice.
“If you listen quietly, you will see that there is no such thing as thunder! “You said you were the youngest elder in Jeomchang, so the whole world looks like you!”
Paeyul, who was about to get even more angry, soon showed a dejected expression.
“Yeonhojeong.”
“Yes, senior.”
“Let’s go back. Damn Jongnam, tell him to do whatever he wants, whether he collapses or not. “It would be better for these mindless b*stards to perish at the hands of their enemies.”
It was then.
bang!!
Accompanied by a tremendous roar, a bloody shock wave spread throughout the Jongnam Mountain area.
Not only the elders who were angry and tried to shout something, but also the literary men of Jongnam who were far away were shocked.
The source of the roar was Yeonhojeong. The advance of Yeonhojeong was powerful enough to shake the entire Jongnam Mountain.
“Calm down.”
“….”
“There are many people here who have not learned martial arts and many are still young. “You shouldn’t cross the line just because you’re angry, senior.”
Paeyul became depressed and closed his eyes.
Yeon Ho-jeong said to Guyun.
“The enemy is just around the corner. Please gather all of Jongnam’s troops and prepare for the fort now. Among them, you should pay special attention to Cheongmokae and Sadoam.”
“That…”
“Those who cannot hold a sword should be sent down the mountain right now. A sword has no eyes. If you try to protect it hastily, you may end up in harm’s way.”
Yeon Ho-jeong turned around.
I tried to prepare a little more calmly, but now that things are like this, I have no choice but to be somewhat aggressive.
‘It’s always like this.’
Like when he came up with the crazy idea of kidnapping his student to bring out Ha Eungyo.
This time, Yeon Ho-jeong decided to try a method that others would never have chosen.
It was a brutal way to risk his own life without harming anyone.
“I will meet the enemy commander. “We will be able to take the time somehow. Please prepare as much as possible until then.”
