Episode 909
Breath of the Demon (4)
They run vigorously towards each other.
At that moment, Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled,
‘Oh.’
As the distance between the enemies narrowed, the huge mountain behind them appeared.
It was amazing. If it boasted that much width and height, it should have been visible a long time ago, but it was only now that the mountain appeared in my field of vision.
There was light snow piled up at the top of the mountain. Cheonghae itself is at a higher altitude than other regions, so it would not be strange for a mountain that high to have permanent snow.
Even though it was noisy with the sound of horses’ hooves and the rolling wheels of the carriage, Yeon Ho-jeong opened his mouth.
“Is that a mountain?”
Cheon Hyorak’s voice was heard from inside the carriage.
“Can you see the mountain?”
“The top is covered with snow.”
“It is not the main peak. “But we’re almost there.”
“What is the name of the mountain?”
“We call it Ani Snow Mountain.”
“No, Snow Mountain… By the way, is that also a technique? “If it was that high, it should have been visible right away.”
“I’ve never been down this road before… Now that I think about it, I should have seen it a long time ago, just like Sobuju said. Please wait a moment.”
Cheon Hyorak stuck his head out the window of the carriage and looked ahead.
At that moment, demonic energy passed through Cheon Hyo-rak’s eyes. Okcheong, who was riding a horse next to him, flinched.
“It’s a world without any sense of sight.”
“A fearsome enemy?”
“It is a wide-area method held by Shinmarim. “It is a first-class illusion that blocks the view for dozens of miles in all directions.”
People were surprised.
The official tilted his head.
“The main family also has a wide area, but… it covers dozens of ri? “Is there such a method?”
At that time, Buseon said.
“there is.”
Everyone saw the floating boat.
The vice ship continued without slowing down.
“This department has a similar strategy. “I haven’t installed it properly yet.”
Yeon Ho-jeong opened his eyes wide.
“Was there something like that?”
“yes. “Master told me before that I would use it when I come up to earth.”
Yeon Ho-jeong cleared his throat.
“Are these people allowed to listen to that?”
The loss rate was ridiculous.
“That b*stard? Hey, even if you joined the Mukryongbu, does that mean anything? Are we strangers?”
“It’s someone else.”
“…I’m the one who’s left. Still, it’s a shame to say that!”
Buseon said.
“it’s okay. “I can’t write right now even if I want to.”
“I see.”
Cheon Hyo-rak spoke in a sombre voice.
“That’s bizarre.”
“What do you mean?”
“Shinmarim doesn’t usually lay down invincible attacks either.”
“…?!”
“The fearless counterattack is a counterattack, but it is also a method that can raise unnecessary suspicion if used incorrectly. “The deeper you go inside, the more strange illusions arise, and you cannot escape this illusion with any amount of sincerity.”
“Hmm.”
“But not everything is impossible. “If you are Yeon Sobuju or Baekbyeongshingun here, you will be able to break through that formation without much trouble.”
“In other words, if a master who overcomes the martial arts discovers the true method, it is only a matter of time before Shinmarim’s stronghold is revealed?”
“That’s right. Originally, very few people visited this mountain. “It’s too high and the weather isn’t good.”
It is better to place a small camp only around the buildings of Shinmarim to show it as it is.
That’s not to say it wasn’t true, but it made sense. Actually, I wondered what kind of Mugeuksu would come all the way to Cheonghae and climb that mountain.
“It’s definitely strange.”
“What do you mean?”
Cheon Hyorak’s eyes wavered.
“The Mushimbuldaejin is a very large-scale foray that takes half a year just to disarm, even when the materials are ready. In fact, it may take years just to obtain the materials.”
“hmm.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
Before we knew it, the distance between the enemy and enemy had shortened to within ten li.
“So to speak, the Archduke was preparing that strategy in advance.”
“That’s right. But those ingredients…”
“Those ingredients must have been brought from the Gwanghyeolgyo.”
“What the Gwanghyeol cult leader wants is the destruction of the Shinmarim base and the absorption of its troops. “There is no reason to set up such a grand strategy.”
“It looks like they are thinking of using it as a branch.”
“chapter…?!”
“The reason the Three Schools began to invade the midfield was probably because they judged that their strength was sufficient. In other words, we are at a saturation point.”
“…!!”
“Aren’t you trying to expand the power of light blood rather than absorbing Shinmarim into the main group?”
Cheon Hyorak’s eyes wavered.
Yeon Ho-jeong hit the carriage ceiling with the handle of an axe.
“Just go in now. My neck must be sore. There will be a fight soon.”
Cheon Hyorak’s face disappeared into the carriage. But his words did not stop.
“Master Sobu. Can you feel their momentum?”
“exactly.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
“I haven’t felt any hostility yet, but they are very strict. “It doesn’t really look like a defeated soldier.”
“hmm.”
“The momentum of the charge is considerable. Besides, if they knew we were approaching from here, they would have been okay with waiting, but they came running armed.”
Cheon Hyorak sighed.
Yeon Ho-jeong said calmly.
“I will decide after seeing their response. “Don’t worry.”
“All right.”
“If by any chance I think you are an enemy, then I will not have mercy in my hands.”
“Yes, I understand.”
How much longer did it run like that?
Finally, the distance between the two groups narrowed to about two hundred.
At that time, the troops from Shinmarim began to slowly slow down.
Paeyul shouted.
“What are you going to do?”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who had been quietly reading their momentum, opened his mouth.
“Let’s slow down too.”
Doo doo doo doo.
The sound of the horses’ hooves, which had been so cheerful, gradually became heavier.
Rumbling!
A thick cloud of dust was blown here and there by the wind.
As we slowed down, the distance between us decreased to about a hundred.
Whoa!
The dry wind of the Cheonghae tempered the fierce momentum of the two groups.
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at the enemy’s troops.
‘I spent roughly five hundred… a lot.’
It was said that Shinmarim itself was an organization created to avoid the eyes of Gwanghyeolgyo, and that this trend is still maintained.
However, sending that many troops meant that the total size of the troops was enormous.
‘Is it light-blooded? no. The momentum is different.’
Even if they are the same Magi, the differences are clear. Yeon Ho-jeong was convinced that they were units belonging to Shinmarim.
After a while.
“Sam Gongja.”
A middle-aged man came forward, leading a horse, and spoke in a strong voice.
“What is this? They’re bringing in external troops. “There has never been a case of subversive people being brought into the front yard of the sacred Shinmarim.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly looking at the man, lightly pounded the ceiling of the carriage with his fist.
Click.
The carriage door opened and Cheon Hyorak and Hwahyang appeared.
Cheon Hyo-rak sighed when he saw the middle-aged man.
“Stomach sobriety.”
Wei Xiaogang, a middle-aged man and leader of the Xinmarim Homa Dan (護魔團), said with a stiff face.
“Bringing in external troops for no reason is no different from treason against Shinmarim. Would you like to explain?”
“Are you okay Lord Lim?”
“I asked if you would like to explain.”
“Answer my question first. “Are you okay, Lord Lim?”
Wei Xiaogang snorted.
“Who in the world can harm Him? why? “Are you scared when you see us in front of you?”
“I said something wrong.”
Cheon Hyorak’s eyes deepened.
“Is my master okay?”
“….”
“Aside from being an ungrateful person who brought in external forces to take over the main forest and captured his master with bizarre tricks, the Lord of the forest whom you have trusted and followed for a long time is fine.”
Wei Xiaogang’s smile grew brighter.
“Hey, Samgongja.”
The way he spoke changed and his voice became gloomy.
“You really lost your senses.”
“….”
“Shinmarim is proud of its strength. A place where the strong prey on the existing strong and monopolize everything. A place where the weak are completely eliminated. Shinmarim was that kind of world, wasn’t it?”
“So, did you end up with the ambassador?”
“Stuck? That’s a pretty unpleasant thing to say. “The lord has changed, but you can’t forget the previous lord, so you’re telling me to protest?”
“….”
“The sky has changed and we only live for the one who leads us.”
“Since when did it start?”
“What do you mean?”
Cheon Hyo-rak said calmly. The calm expression and calm voice was filled with a creepy chill.
“Since when did we recognize trickery and betrayal as the abilities of the powerful?”
Wei Xiaogang’s face hardened.
Cheon Hyorak shook his head.
“I was wary of you leading the Homadan. The reason was clear. You have no honesty. “I don’t know about other organizations, but Homa Dan shouldn’t be like that.”
“Are you finished speaking?”
“I should have looked into it a long time ago when I became the deputy leader of the Homa Dan on the recommendation of my great brother.”
“Choose. “Will I quietly retreat, or will I be dragged away covered in blood?”
“Looking at your behavior now, I can see that Shinmarim is also over.”
“Of course, all the troops I brought with me will die here.”
“What a piece of trash.”
Wei Xiaogang’s face was distorted.
Cheon Hyorak said.
“Hwahyang.”
“Yes, master.”
“If a fight breaks out, there is no need to hurt other people. “Save Wei Xiaogang and bring him to me.”
Hwahyang took control with moderation.
“I will risk my life to carry out your orders.”
Wei Xiaogang snorted.
“I’m going to drink this punishment. Good. If that’s what you want…”
“Sobu-sama.”
At that moment, a powerful flash of light exploded from Yeon Ho-jeong’s hand.
Bub bub bub!
The White Dragon, which flew like a beam of light, blew off the heads of the five people in the front row of the Homa Dan and then returned.
“…?!”
Wei Xiaogang as well as the members of the Homa Troupe seemed puzzled by the sudden incident.
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“Things that are not that big of a deal are lashing out at the face of the most insignificant person with their tongue.”
hook!
A terrifying energy wave erupted from Paeyul and Buseon’s bodies.
Heeheehee!!
The two famous horses raised their front legs and let out loud dragon roars as they galloped away.
Only then did Wei Shaogang shout.
“Kill everyone except the Three Dukes!”
Pipipipipiping!
About two hundred arrows fired from the rear units of the Homadan flew in a small curve.
At that moment, Okcheong and Yeon Jipyeong stood in front of Cheon Hyorak and drew their swords. Before we knew it, Makwon was standing next to Yeonhojeong, which had come down from the ceiling of the carriage.
Hwang Seok-tae raised his spear. Then the Iron Knights spread out their positions to the left and right.
It was then.
‘…?’
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Hwang Seok-tae.
Hwang Seok-tae, seeing his gaze, smiled and lowered the window to the bottom.
‘There’s no need for us to come forward.’
Faaagh!
Dang-gwan and Muk-bi climbed onto the carriage.
The silence took three iron shots at the protests.
The party official said.
“Take out the two iron coins.”
“yes?”
“Whether the enemy is strong or weak, don’t exert too much effort against idiots like that.”
“But… are you really going to use poison?”
“No way. It takes a lot of time for my poison attack, which did not reach the ultimate level, to recover. “It would be a waste to use it against things like that.”
A dagger was held in the officer’s hand.
He said, putting his hand on Mukbi’s shoulder.
“I will tell you the expulsion method of the Tang family. “If you don’t understand, I won’t teach you in the future. I can’t teach the family’s vision to someone without talent.”
Mukbi, who was looking up at the temple, put two iron coins into his quiver.
“I’ll take it all and eat it.”
“Try to strike first.”
Piiiiing!
An iron coin flew with a horrifying sound and blew off the heads of two demons who approached the barge.
