Battle of Preludes (3)
“Whoa! Phew!”
Cheon Hyorak’s breathing became somewhat rough.
Hwahyang wasn’t normal either, but it was still much better than Cheonhyorak. After some time passed, I was able to catch my breath in an instant.
It was a difference in experience. Her fighting ability, having fought countless life-or-death battles for a long time to protect her heavenly virtue, was bound to shine even in a fierce battle like this.
“Are you okay?”
Cheon Hyorak smiled bitterly at Makwon’s question.
“There is still a long way to go.”
In fact, there were many scratches here and there on Cheon Hyorak’s body from enemy swords.
No matter how genius he is, he cannot immediately show his capabilities in actual combat. Even if the opponent’s level is much lower.
Fortunately, there were no fatal injuries.
“Confucius. First, take care of yourself… … .”
“no. “So many people died, and it’s like this.”
It’s not an ally, it’s an enemy. Even though they are enemies, they say such things.
If it was natural, it was natural. Cheon Hyo-rak also did not have any experience with murder, but all of them were cases where he lost strength and drove a sword into the heart of an enemy who was on the verge of death.
I have never experienced annihilating an enemy with such overwhelming power. In addition to his strong confidence in his martial arts skills, he could not help but be shocked.
However, he was also a person who had walked the firing line and survived. He tried to ignore the shock he felt in just a few breaths.
“Stop the bleeding internally and suture the wound. The fights of those with inner strength are all like this. “When you get hurt, it’s common sense to act immediately to stop the bleeding and suture the wound from the inside.”
“… … !”
“If you ignore it as a small wound, the shock will inevitably accumulate. “If that happens, I won’t be able to demonstrate my capabilities at the critical moment.”
“All right.”
Ugh.
A faint demonic energy rose from Cheon Hyorak’s body.
While he was taking care of his body, Hwahyang looked around.
“Are they all dead?”
“They’re all dead.”
Hwahyang shook her head.
“I fought with the determination to annihilate you, but how could this happen?”
It is a joint effort of two masters of martial arts and transcendental masters, who are called a one-man army. It is a force that can annihilate even a sizable combat unit if struck without thinking.
However, this fight could be seen as somewhat unusual. Those who specialized in divine law had little attack or defense ability, but if they had escaped until the end, it would have been a pain for them as well.
“It’s fear.”
“Fear?”
Makwon looked around the left and right cliffs.
The sight of the cliff covered in blood was terrible to look at.
“The timing was good. When a person finds himself in a situation that is difficult to handle, he runs away to somehow escape it. At that time, two people came rushing in from the rear.”
“I did.”
“Those who felt strong pressure tried to escape by climbing the cliff.”
“And your spear intercepted them all, one by one.”
“That’s what’s important. “The fact that you can die even if you climb a cliff is engraved in the minds of those who have tasted that reality, and that running away means death.”
Mak Won smiled and looked at Cheon Hyorak.
Hyorak Cheon was treating his wounds with his eyes closed.
“Prince Chen has a really good sense. I immediately came out and joined hands and feet to defend the cliff. “Not everyone can have that feeling.”
“Don’t you usually try to escape in such a situation? “I would literally panic.”
“It’s one of two things. You either panic and lose your temper and run away or fight back. These guys wanted to fight, and it worked to our advantage. “That’s all.”
Hwahyang shook her head.
Although they lacked combat skills, they were still skilled in martial arts, so they pulled out their swords and tried to fight. I had no choice but to understand it that way.
When this situation came to pass, worry appeared on Hwahyang’s face.
“These guys really belong to the three schools, right? Even though we all got along well, from clothes to martial arts… … .”
“right.”
“Even if you are certain… … ?”
Makwon searched the chest of a dead enemy soldier. Then, something that looked like a small wooden statue appeared.
The wooden statue had an unusual shape. It has a fierce face like a Buddhist statue of King Pluto, and surprisingly, it has the breasts of a woman. Below her navel, where the phallus should be, two snakes crawled up her side and stopped around her shoulders.
Hwahyang’s eyes sparkled.
Makwon frowned.
“Who are these people who carry around such crazy wooden statues but the Three Churches?”
During the first surprise attack, Makwon saw several wooden statues like this sticking out from the chest of a bleeding enemy soldier and attacked with confidence.
Makwon looked up at the sky.
“Anyway, this has made the situation more urgent.”
“yes?”
“If what Prince Cheon said is true, these supply troops would be divided up throughout Shaanxi and heading south. “I don’t know what that means, but I know there’s something going on.”
“… … !”
“We must quickly inform the central government.”
It was then.
“you’re right. “We have to move quickly.”
The demonic energy flowing out of Cheon Hyorak’s body stabilized.
“Are you done?”
“yes. And there is a high probability that the wooden statue belongs to the Saeum Church.”
“Saeumgyo?”
“Saeumgyo makes it a duty to spread the seeds of God to the world. We encourage fertility only within the divine bloodline. Although it has now been deteriorated, any wooden statue that highlights the sexual parts of a man and a woman has no choice but to be Saeumgyo.”
Makwon’s eyes deepened.
He recalled the words of the first examiner. It is said that all of the ten thousand cavalry coming down from northern Shaanxi used simple, yet lightning-quick spear techniques.
If these supply soldiers were from the Saeum Church, then the cavalrymen would also be from the Saeum Church.
If Sohyeonrip taught those cavalrymen, it means that Sohyeonrip had some kind of relationship with Saeumgyo.
‘You obviously said you didn’t join hands with the Three Churches, but that wasn’t a lie.’
Makwon took the wooden statue in his arms.
“Let’s head south for now. “I think we need to make contact with the central forces.”
“That’s right.”
The group gathered the bodies as much as possible in one place and set them on fire. This is because it is a problem to prevent infectious diseases, and if a follow-up unit happens to take hay, that is also a problem.
The three men, having annihilated five hundred of the enemy’s supply troops, moved south at high speed.
The destination was volcanic waves.
* * *
“… … .”
The eyes of the party official looking around Chilchaesan Mountain, which is made of sandstone, were extremely sharp.
‘The terrain is difficult to fight on… … That’s true.’
It was difficult terrain for everyone. It may be okay if you set up camp and dig traps in advance, but if you suddenly clash and fight, both sides will inevitably suffer great damage.
Lord Green Wind said in a low voice.
“It’s very windy.”
“Right.”
When the Tang family’s dragon poisoning technique reaches its peak, it is not affected by the wind direction.
But it takes a really long time to practice to reach that level. You must be at least at the level of an expert to be able to read as you wish.
Although it is not a big problem for a great master, the majority of the members have not reached that level. Although Noksudae’s poison skills are excellent, it will not be easy to use poison if a melee unfolds in such terrain.
Of course, even in such an environment, the Tang family’s new method was developed to properly utilize the power of poison and memorization.
The problem was the level of the enemy.
The party closed his eyes and used the new technique.
Hehehe.
As the wind blew, the translucent energy that flowed from the area around the guest’s shoulders spread out and swayed like a silkworm.
I was impressed by Nokpungdae and Noksudae without realizing it.
After reaching the undefeated stage, the team’s momentum seemed to be worse than that of the regular members of the Green Three.
Of course, it will only appear that way to the uninitiated. Even though the unique fierce spirit has died, the presence of the building itself is still outstanding.
However, it was clear that the hotel had a softer feel than before.
However, the moment he properly opened his divine energy, a terrifying majesty began to radiate from his body.
It was different from the momentum of inner strength. A majesty that can only be felt by those who look closely, and the mystery of the existence of a half-seon that goes beyond humans was revealed as the hall’s top exhibition was held.
‘It’s been two hours and he hasn’t come… … Even if he got hit, he wouldn’t have died as soon as he left. In other words, there is a high probability that morale remains.’
Of course, it would be much faster to capture the enemy’s magic energy before fraud.
The Danggwan’s Sangeonjeon expanded rapidly.
How long has it been like that?
Shoo!
A strange sound was heard in the hotel’s ears.
It was the sound of something sharp cutting through the air. The museum focused on that sound.
‘Where is it? ‘Where are you?’
far away. And that’s incredibly far away.
It is a distance that is difficult to understand, at least from the senses of someone who has not been able to break through the no-geuk, or even from the senses of someone who cannot use the upper stage well even if they have broken through the no-geuk.
‘West? Northwest… … ?’
The location is ambiguous. But there’s definitely something there.
The official who closed the new space again raised his hand.
“Heading to the northwest. “Run while hiding your presence as much as possible.”
Wow!
Danggwan and Green University quickly broke through the sandstone zone.
It also took time to go up and down. Although there was a rare military force called Tang Gwan here, it was still best not to be caught by the enemy. They moved more cautiously than necessary.
How long did it run like that?
‘… … ?!’
Our five senses sharpened like knives.
‘The smell of blood!’
The smell of blood, and the weak morale that has not yet dissipated.
The group, who moved a little more cautiously, was momentarily startled.
Between hills made of sandstone.
There were blood stains here and there that had not yet browned. But what was even more terrifying than that were the several heads visible around the blood stains.
A few heads rolled among the torn clothes. But none of those heads were normal.
Parts of the cheek and neck were torn off, exposing the bones. It looked like it had been eaten by an animal.
Even the members of Noksui University, who had experienced their own hardships, felt a chill go down their spines. It was my first time seeing a human head with bones exposed here and there on the face.
The official’s face hardened as he quickly approached and examined the head and torn clothes.
‘We’re a reconnaissance team.’
Dressed in dark clothes that ate light, a rolling sword was identical to the sword of the Gong Sect.
If there are seven heads lying around, it means that at least seven people have been hit. However, the first inspector said that he sent twenty people as a reconnaissance team.
‘Whether there are twenty or two hundred is meaningless.’
On our way here, we found no traces of the reconnaissance team members.
If the group members died here, the other scouts would have to retreat and report what they saw and heard. But there was no one like that.
‘They’re all dead. It’s right to see it that way.’
So where did the other scouts die?
Where is the enemy?
The officer sent a hand signal.
This meant breaking hiding and running as much as possible. The green team, led by the party hall, broke through the hills at incredible speed.
And after a while.
Crrrrr.
The officer was speechless. Needless to say, it was green.
Beyond the sandstone area, Icheon’s troops could be seen running across the endless plains.
They all wore black clothes, and the exposed skin was also black. No matter how you look at it, it is not normal for each of them to growl like an animal, but they manage to move in a line.
The speed was neither fast nor slow.
‘Two thousand? Didn’t they say it was 5,000 troops? What about the remaining 3,000?’
The official’s eyes sparkled.
“All of Green Wind and Green Water, maintain this distance and move with the enemy.”
“yes?!”
“I have something to check. “I will be back within this time.”
hook!
The party hall ran north.
