Battle of Preludes (1)
The two units led by Tang Guan quickly crossed Sacheon and reached Gansu.
As is the case with all Tang family masters, Nokpungdae and Noksudae’s divine techniques were truly outstanding. Although it cannot be compared to Tang Gwan, it can travel long distances quickly without even losing its breath, and as if it was used to it, it was able to climb the rugged mountains of Sichuan in one go and reach Nanju in a few days.
Sleep was minimal, and movement was lightning fast.
Each of them carried the Tang family’s own battle rations and large water canteens, and before they knew it, they were able to reach the northern part of Gansu Nanju.
“See the owner of the temple. “It’s called Donggun.”
The party officials faced each other and gave power.
“See the elder of Donggun.”
Donggun was one of the elders of the Joint Sect. Although he learned the ferocious Gong Sect swordsmanship, he was also good at defensive swordsmanship.
Donggun said with an emotional face.
“I see you came as expected.”
“Of course you should come. “I can’t just focus on my area when the entire midfield is in danger.”
“Hehehe.”
Dong-gun felt grateful that he had come so quickly, but as he stood before our eyes, he felt increasingly discouraged.
‘amazing!’
There is no fire-breathing momentum. Rather, he seems to have martial arts skills that are worse than most of the disciples of the communal faction.
However, the spirit of the eastern army could be felt by the fiercely sharp presence of the party.
“It’s late, but congratulations. “I heard from afar that the head of the family had reached the top.”
“Thank you, but I don’t think this is the time to congratulate you.”
“Of course I do.”
Donggun looked around and said.
“Over here, including this man, fifty of his common disciples, and three sects of Gansu are encamped.”
“Rear unit.”
“exactly. Also, if the enemy makes a detour and charges, this is the last place where we can block them.”
“How many wires have you stacked in total?”
“Four places. “We will be the last of them, and three fronts will face the enemy.”
The party was quite surprised by the response of the joint faction.
I heard that although they are a group of Taoist monks, they have no choice but to become strong in order to survive in the dry environment of Gansu. But she didn’t know she was this good at tactics.
“Then we will go straight to the front.”
“Good luck.”
The official led the unit and headed north again.
Every other day, one front line was seen spreading horizontally. Nokpungdae and Noksudae were very tired, but they were able to maintain their stamina with one hour of rest and delicious meals supplied around the front lines.
Finally, the party was able to meet the first line that was slowly advancing in the southern part of Geumchang.
“Dangmun?”
“It’s a question! “The door of the Sacheon First Family has arrived!”
“Wow!”
The warriors on the front line, who would encounter the enemy for the first time, were advancing with unimaginable tension.
In the meantime, how happy must he be that Mr. Tang’s unit, known as the master of poison and memorization, has arrived.
Nearly a thousand warriors shouted. The shouting quickly died down due to the restraints of the leaders, but morale soared even more as time passed.
The first examiner greeted me politely.
“I would like to meet the head of the Tang family. “I call him the joint first examiner.”
“See Elder Chogeom.”
“Thank you so much. “I see you came much sooner than expected.”
Not only the members of the Nokpungnoksu unit, but even the party officials looked like their clothes were torn and disheveled. It meant running like crazy.
The first examiner was surprised by the party’s quick response. This is because the party in Sacheon is high-handed and closed, so it seemed like they would protect Sacheon until the end.
If Cheongseong or Ami came, I didn’t expect Dangga to come. So the emotion was doubled. Didn’t the family head even lead the troops himself?
The officer asked.
“How is the progress?”
The first examiner said while looking at the advance route.
“The reconnaissance team is out, but they haven’t returned even though the time has come. “The last contact was before two o’clock, and they said they had reached the area of the intestines.”
“It’s just around the corner.”
“exactly. “It’s just around the corner.”
“If the scouting team didn’t come anyway, doesn’t that mean that something went wrong?”
A look of confusion appeared on the examiner’s face.
“For now, we are slowly advancing. Of course, I have no intention of fighting without information from the scout team… … .”
“I will come and see.”
“Are you sure you don’t mind? I heard that Tang Gaju recently reached Mugeuk, but he is not familiar with the terrain here… … .”
“But if you just keep troops stationed there, morale may drop. “If you know exactly what the situation is, you won’t get tired of waiting.”
The first examiner sighed.
“The reason we marched was to fight in more advantageous terrain. But if they don’t move around the area, we can’t attack them.”
“I heard that there are sharp mountains lined up over there.”
“Basically, the terrain itself is not good. “It is called Chilchaesan Mountain, which is majestic and beautiful to look at, but it is made of sandstone, so it is difficult to use as a battlefield.”
“Then we must go even more.”
The official’s eyes sparkled.
“It is the memorization and venom of our party song that shines in places that are difficult to use as battlefields.”
In the end, the first examiner nodded.
“Please try to get some rest. “At any chance, a fire may break out.”
“Um, I understand.”
The hotel was fine, but Nokpungdae and Noksudae needed a little more rest. Even if you were a master, you would have had to run to your limit every day, so your endurance and stamina would have suffered greatly.
Half an hour has passed.
The scout team still hasn’t returned.
“I’m leaving.”
“You came all the way to Gansu, but for no reason I was entrusted with a reconnaissance mission, so I’m not happy to see you.”
“It’s everyone’s war. “You don’t need to say that.”
The officer looked around the front line troops for a moment and then spoke.
“That won’t happen, but they might pull some trick and get here before we get back. Otherwise, we cannot rule out the possibility of ignoring our troops and moving south.”
“J-Sun is preparing in the area heading south. Stop by and you’ll find out.”
“What I mean is, maybe we can find a way out there that doesn’t run into Gansu’s forces. “If you see any sign of that, don’t wait for us and go after them right away.”
“I understand.”
The party hall shouted to Nokpungdae and Noksudae.
“Get ready.”
“yes!”
Nokpungdae and Noksudae each wore leather gloves.
Both units were good at both poison and memorization, but Nokpungdae was better at memorization than poison, and Noksu Unit was better at poison.
Although it is evaluated as one step below the Tang family’s elite, the Black Wind Blade, the Green Three Blades, including the Green Blade, are the most excellent in quick divine techniques and sneak attacks.
Gansu also had its own troops, so in order to avoid any disruption in the operation of those troops, they were brought in as a secret attack unit that could be operated separately. The hotel had such a meticulous attitude.
“let’s go.”
That’s how our institution and Green University started.
The highest leader of the Tang family was rushing towards the demons, who were presumed to be troops sent from Gwanghyeol.
* * *
Mak Won, Cheon Hyo-rak, and Hwa-hyang crossed the eastern part of Gansu at once and entered Shaanxi.
Since Cheon Hyo-rak had obtained martial arts, the movement speed of the three was truly amazing. If Mo Yuan had not wasted time treating his internal and external injuries, the three would have entered Sichuan before encountering their common force.
“That’s strange.”
Mak Won looked at Cheon Hyorak.
Cheon Hyorak’s eyes deepened.
“The air is different.”
The air is different.
The sense of a genius who had endured for a long time shined in moments like this.
“That is the sixth sense. The sense of a heavenly builder is as good as that of any expert. “That feeling reads the war clouds hanging over the entire island.”
“Whether it’s your sixth sense or whatever, this air is not normal. “It’s ominous.”
“That’s always the case with fighting.”
Makwon closed his eyes.
Wooooow!
Using the Heavenly Martial God Weapon, he extremely strengthened his five senses and began to read the air flow.
‘Where is it?’
They didn’t have much information yet. I couldn’t tell where the enemy was coming from or where Hwasan and Jongnam were moving.
‘This is near Sohwasan Mountain. If Hwasan and Jongnam had moved a little later, we might have discovered the enemy first.’
The three had no clear affiliation. If we had to say affiliation, it could be said that Makwon is Yeon Ho-jeong’s sworn brother, so it could be called Heukjeseong, but if we remember that Cheon Hyo-rak, who had nowhere to go, asked for help from the Murim Alliance, there is no problem in moving to the Murim Alliance again.
‘In any case, we need clear information about the enemy. You shouldn’t just try to fight the enemy. The overall strategy may be disrupted.’
War is like a giant checkerboard. If you feel confident that you have stolen property from one place, you could lose your home.
‘Able to cause damage to the enemy without causing confusion among allies… … huh?’
Makwon’s eyes brightened.
‘what? It’s pretty secretive, isn’t it?’
I spread my energy in all directions to detect signs of movement in the distance of Sohwasan Mountain.
However, I noticed that a group of people was moving closer to me.
Enemy? Are you an ally?
Is it a coincidence? Is it inevitable?
It was time for Makwon to open his mouth.
“Someone is moving from the east.”
“… … ?!”
“The number looks quite large… … “I’m not sure.”
Not only Makwon but also Hwahyang looked at Cheon Hyorak in surprise.
Cheon Hyo-rak’s eyes became slightly blank. Even though it raises the middle king’s magic power, it does not spread demon energy. This was because the energy was thoroughly collected.
“He climbs the mountain quickly, but no matter how you look at it, he is not an ordinary person who has not learned martial arts. Even if you have learned martial arts, it seems to be fast.”
“Does that read?”
“yes?”
“Huh… … “The sense of a heavenly ruler is truly innate.”
Cheon Hyorak looked at Hwahyang with puzzled eyes. Hwahyang was shaking her head.
Makwon grinned.
“Let’s approach secretly and see what kind of people they are. No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like it’s a cavalry.”
Faaagh!
The three people ran down the mountain at once.
If you activate your senses by feeling the air flow from high places, you can see much more than from low places.
The three people, who had been moving quietly, suddenly realized that a group of people had passed their path.
“It’s in the back. “It seems like they’re heading south.”
They move up the mountain again.
How long has it been?
Three people who climbed up a small canyon caught the sight of more than five hundred warriors.
It was not the uniform of the midfielder. They were dressed in thick leather clothes, and each person was carrying extremely large luggage on their backs.
‘It’s not a botjim. That… … stover?’
It was fodder that horses could eat.
Cheon Hyorak’s eyes sparkled.
“supply… … .”
Makwon tilted his head.
“Enemy supply? Still, isn’t it too little?”
“yes. Even for the improved northern cavalry, it is a small amount. That means… … .”
Cheon Hyorak’s eyes sparkled.
“They are tearing up the supply unit and sending it out like a reconnaissance team.”
It was an absolutely absurd idea.
However, Makwon felt strong confidence in Cheon Hyorak’s words.
“What is an enemy anyway?”
“It seems so. From their doubles to their momentum, no matter how you look at them, they are not Jungwon martial artists.”
Makwon straightened his white spear.
“Drive from the rear. “I will press it from the front.”
Faaagh!
Before an answer could be given, Makwon ran towards the head of the supply team. Cheon Hyorak and Hwahyang hurriedly ran to the rear.
The beginning of the first battle that the entire central team was watching was right here, from Shaanxi Mountain.
