Battle of Preludes (5)
“What?!”
Upon hearing Noksu Daeju’s words, the first examiner’s face turned red.
Although I was anxious because they didn’t come, I never imagined that the entire scouting team would be dead.
Lord Noksu continued speaking quickly.
“Currently, the head of the family and the Nokpungdae are dealing with the enemy’s two thousand troops. The Gansu troops must quickly retreat to the rear and chase the 3,000 troops who are making a detour!”
“this!”
The first examiner, whose eyes were rolling with anger, soon calmed himself down with a deep breath.
Among the people sent to the reconnaissance team was his youngest disciple.
I really felt like my insides were burning black. If it weren’t for the exhibition, I would have sat down and cried.
But now it was wartime, and the first examiner was the highest-ranking person in charge of not only the front lines but also the troops of the communist faction.
“Are you sure?”
“The head of the family has personally traveled all the way to the north! With his power, there’s no way he wouldn’t notice even if the enemy was hiding!”
The first examiner gritted his teeth.
I know that our organization has broken through the barrier. I also know very well how fearsome masters those who have broken through the siege are.
But this was war. One tactical misjudgment can cause fatal damage to friendly forces.
I believe that our institution’s capabilities are great. But what if the enemy has retreated far enough that we can’t see it?
“Elder!”
Hearing the anxious cries of Nokpungdaeju, the first swordsman turned around and shouted.
“Contact the second and third lines! The enemy can escape Gansu after making a detour to the west near Cheonghae! “Move quickly, join the firing line, and tell them to block the enemy’s advance!”
The prosecutors who received the order drove their horses and ran south.
Noksu Daeju’s eyes wavered.
“The front line then… … ?”
“What about the head of the family?”
“It’s still unpredictable. It is unclear what the enemy’s capabilities are. “Currently, the head of the family and the Nokpungdae are engaged in combat.”
“No matter how much you go, will you be able to fight against two thousand troops?”
“We will be able to stop it somehow. We deal with poison and memorization, and to the head of the family, we are the strongest in four thousand countries. Do not worry.”
That is correct.
The first examiner nodded.
“Go and help the matriarch. “We will fall too.”
“Good luck! then.”
Noksudae hurried back the way he came.
Looking at the back of Noksudae moving away, the first examiner clenched his fists.
One of the prosecutors under my command asked.
“Should we rush out too?”
“… … .”
“Elder.”
“Just wait and see.”
The first examiner tried to be cautious.
He believed in the ability of the party. However, no one can predict how the enemy will move.
‘There is a common eye in the northern part of Gansu. It’s not too late to get their information and go.’
The power of the second and third lines alone would be enough to stop thousands of troops. Moreover, if you add the reserve forces of the firing line, even if 3,000 troops make a detour, they will definitely be able to stop it.
What is important is the vague ominous feeling that the enemy may have another move.
No matter how excellent it is, it is absurd for an entire army to move based on the words of just one person. Northern informants are working hard at this time, so we can be sure if we receive their information.
‘are you okay. It’ll be okay.’
The first examiner was a person who learned strategy and tactics well. But the reality is different.
Even if you can use what you learned until the deployment of troops, when you start a head-to-head fight with an enemy soldier in an actual war, you need that level of experience to be able to respond quickly. Or maybe he has excellent intuition as a martial artist.
Actually, the first examiner’s thoughts were not wrong. Moving an entire army based on intelligence from just one person was not a good choice.
He tried not to get too excited, especially since he had lost his youngest student. He tried to make decisions and move as rationally as possible.
That feeling, bordering on obsession, turned the tide of the Battle of Gansu.
* * *
The party’s poisonous techniques were extremely brutal.
He poured out his efforts generously. He evaporated every single drop of poison in order to reach the top of the world, but the vessel that contained thousands of types of poison, that is, poison, was still sleeping in his Danjeon.
However, the number of poisons that can be created through internal attack was greatly reduced, and a significant amount of magical energy was consumed to create poison through internal attack.
Nevertheless, Dang Gwan’s poison technique, which gained vast upper body energy by ascending to the top of the martial arts, was no different from the poison technique he had used before.
Dang-gwan’s movements, scattering Chilbodanhonsan and trampling on the enemy, were leisurely. They are still moving around quickly here and there, but because they are outside the devils’ range of attack, they have not been attacked by any means.
“Kyaaaaaaa!”
As I heard the demons’ cries, I began to feel fear that they had been eliminated.
They knew no fear even when their bodies were torn apart with their bare hands, but the poison was different.
Every time the elusive ghost swings its hand, dozens of comrades fall to the ground. The bodies of the fallen comrades were so horribly deformed that it was difficult to look at them with open eyes.
This wasn’t a fight itself. Even if they tried to catch it, they were too fast to catch it, and the demons who went out to catch it even fell to the floor and trembled, clutching their necks.
The demons could no longer move.
I followed the hotel until it reached Baekjang Street in front of the sandstone hill, but I couldn’t pursue it any further.
They didn’t know that the Nokpungdae was stationed on the hill. I just couldn’t move because I couldn’t suppress the rising fear any longer.
Slurp.
The officer landed ten feet away from the demonic unit.
It was an overwhelming sight.
Just one person can defeat hundreds of demons with skin as hard as steel and still stand facing them with their backs turned without the slightest hesitation.
No one in the world would have seen such a sight. Only Dang Gwan, among the most powerful players in the midfield, could create such a scene.
Manipulation of poison and memorization.
Among them, it was the dignity of the party official who rose to the rank of the strongest.
‘Is it about one-third?’
The corpses of the demons that fell one after another while chasing the temple were not all normal. The skin was rotting and turning yellow, and just looking at it was enough to send a chill down my spine.
‘Damn, it’s a bit hard as expected.’
Contrary to what he could see, Tang Gwan felt his Danjeon becoming stiff.
The Manryu Guiyuan New Technique was an invincible new technique that could even implement the Tang family’s poisonous techniques. However, when it comes to poison, he could not keep up with the Emperor Poison Gong, which was created solely for poison arts.
In particular, the consumption of internal energy was so extreme that even the upper level sacred energy was running wild.
‘It’s no longer dangerous. ‘You have to get some rest.’
Of course you can fight. However, it meant that he could not use a poisonous attack in this state.
“Row up!”
As soon as a nervous voice came out, the demons lined up.
It was an amazing sight to see again. The irrational demons respond to the young man’s voice and line up like soldiers. It was truly an absolute command.
“you!”
The young man standing on the shoulders of the demons gritted his teeth and shouted.
“What are you! Is this really a party?!”
The official laughed.
“if? “Is there anyone other than Tang Ga-in in the heavens and earth of the central plains who can use this level of poison?”
“What the fuck! “What’s your name?!”
“Danggwan. “I am the master of the Sacheondangmun of our time.”
He confidently revealed his identity.
There is nothing to lose, and there is nothing bad about the enemy knowing your identity.
“… … !!”
The young man’s eyes suddenly changed.
Although he had predicted that the person he was dealing with was a member of the Tang family, he did not seem to have expected that the head of the Tang family would have come in person.
“You… … “He’s the head of the Tang family?”
“You little bastard’s son has a bad speaking habit. “Compared to you, I’m a cheap person.”
“You, this dog!”
The enemy he was dealing with did not seem to be angry simply because he belonged to a party. The official read the extreme resentment in the young man’s eyes and his life.
“Do you know me?”
“What a dog! Have you forgotten my father?”
“Who is your father?”
“Yahyeok! Yahyuk is my father! “You killed my father, who was the head of the board of directors!”
What immediately came to mind was a man who had raised the emperor’s poison and dealt with it just before he attained ultimate enlightenment.
Huge physique like a bear. She was a demon who used beast-like martial arts, and even though she had suffered serious damage from the battle with Makwon, she was strong enough to be difficult to fight against.
‘Then who is he?’
Yes. That red-haired young man is the son of Yahyeok, the head priest of Gwanghyeolgyo.
The young man, Yabaekdo, shouted evilly.
“this guy! I already wanted to meet you! “I wanted to tear you to death with my own hands!”
The party recalled Kang Ho’s benefactor.
It is said that the grace that flows in a river is like the wind, and the resentment is like the river.
Grace disappears with just the wind, but resentment flows like a river and pools in a huge lake. Sometimes, when there was a lot of rain and floods, the overflowing resentment would take the lives of innocent people.
The official nodded.
“Dang Ga-in does not avoid Eun-won. “I will deal with you directly.”
“Eunwon? “What kind of bullshit is that?”
“… … huh?”
“I should have killed my father with my own hands! But you stole my prey! “I will not be able to pay for that sin while I live!”
Why are there all these crazy people?
The hotel almost said that without even realizing it. They said it was a demon, but none of them seemed normal.
“Beasts!”
The demons’ eyes lit up at Yabaekdo’s voice full of anger.
Now that I think about it, I thought I had seen these demons somewhere, but they were similar to Yahyuk, the head of the board of directors.
However, even though Yahyuk looked like an animal, it was obvious that he was human, and the difference between these guys was that anyone could see that they were closer to animals or monsters than to humans.
“Capture that bastard, even if it means we all die! “If there is anyone who cares about his life, I will kill him with my own hands!”
Intense magical energy spread out from Yabaekdo’s body.
The density of that demon energy was amazing. At first glance, it looks like he has just reached the age of maturity, but his temperament is almost that of a peak expert who is just around the corner from martial arts.
“Kaaaaaaak!”
The flowing magic energy completely removed the animals’ fear.
“Kill me!!”
Rumbling.
There were only 1,400 demons rushing towards the hotel at once.
The official also retreated and brandished his double sword.
pop! Puff poop!
He never overdid it.
Although it is said to be tense, it only targets one life per shot.
The demons running in the lead fell, spouting blood. Everyone had their heads blown off or their chests caved in.
Still, there were too many of them.
The party official, who had been retreating for a while, suddenly heard the sound of Nokpungdaeju.
[Heavy rain and Ewha, ready.]
The corner of the guest’s mouth rose slightly.
One hundred to fifty, fifty to thirty.
Tang Gwan, who had lured the enemies to just below the hill in Thirty Chapters, soon climbed up the hill.
When demons full of madness climb the hill after the temple, screaming loudly,
“Prepare for heavy rain.”
With a chilling voice, members of the Green Wind Team appeared on the hill.
The official raised his thumb and pointed behind him.
Grandmaster of Green Wind shouted.
“firing!!”
Puff puff puff puff!!
Iron balls fired from a small, forearm-length artillery exploded above the heads of the demonic troops.
