The cliffs surrounding the Palcheon Gorge on both sides were in themselves no different from gigantic fortress walls.
Why not?
Apart from everything else, its height alone is a whopping 30 pieces.
Even the great wall built by the tyrant who unified the continent in the distant past by squeezing the hard work of the people was only about three feet tall.
If you wanted to take a detour and reach this point, you would have to climb over a rugged mountain ridge over several days, and if you wanted to penetrate straight ahead, you would have to climb over a towering rock.
Of course, this in itself is not impossible.
It was a well-established belief that even an experienced simmani or hunter could climb the mountain over a long period of time if they prepared enough preparations.
The cliffs, which are made up of rugged rock walls, also serve as support for your hands and feet.
step.
The story would be different if the thousand archers who filled the two cliffs between the canyon did not appreciate the uninvited guest.
like now.
Aaaah!
Nomads flocking towards the cliff like a swarm of ants, screaming or shouting.
It was that moment.
A military officer staring at the scene in the darkness unfolding beneath his feet with sharp eyes (單音)
They all opened their mouths at once.
“everyone!”
“Balshi (發失)! ”
Flap!
As the red flag, whose colors were vaguely distinguishable even in the darkness, went down like a thunderbolt, the thousand bowstrings that had been pulled tightly finally regained freedom.
Tu-tu-tung, sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
The sound of waves echoing deep in the mountains.
Shot through the blurry moonlight
Arrows suddenly destroyed the body. As if I knew what was waiting for me at the end of this short journey. Boom! Puff poop!
“Kwaaaaaak!”
“no! “I’m alone!”
New models falling everywhere, screaming.
However, the expression on the face of the man who was looking at the truly harsh scene from a distant cliff was deeply sunken.
‘Even though we mobilized all the archers and fired heavily, there were only 100.’
Two eyes with a soft glow are evidence that the man has mastered the martial arts of ascension, and also mean that he has the ability to see through the thick darkness beneath his feet.
‘The damage from them was less than expected. Even if you had discarded your horse and prepared with a shield for defense, there is only one answer.
After a short thought, the man came to a conclusion and raised the baton, and the adjutant, who was waiting with a nervous look on his face, tied his superior’s order to an arrow and sent it flying to the opposite cliff.
Hiss.
Even though it draws a smooth curve, an arrow is an arrow.
However, it flew in with a roar and was caught as if being sucked into someone’s hand.
And very easily.
chin.
The old man, who caught the arrow without even looking, untied the book that was tied to the arrow shaft and handed it to the military officers around him. The military officer dressed in armor quickly scanned the contents of the war report.
“Okay, what did you say?”
“Seeing as the damage has been significantly reduced, they say they seem to have mobilized elites.”
“It’s a pain in the ass, but… well, it might actually be a good thing from our troops’ point of view.”
The old man stroked his pure white beard.
This cliff of overwhelming height is the best strategic point for Mercury.
It is one of the biggest factors that transformed Palcheonhyeop into a natural fortress, and the reason it was able to achieve decisive victories in the two great wars that have taken place so far.
The enemy’s elite soldiers sent to the cliff will soon see Hell Island.
“And again?”
“The right army will check the enemies who try to break through the gorge head on, and our left army has been asked to deal with those climbing the cliff.”
“What about Cheong? In terms of age, Nobu is the leader, but in a battlefield like now, he has to follow the general’s orders. “Isn’t that right?”
Instead of answering, the military officer smiled vaguely.
He knows that the old man in front of him is a great expert who has made a name for himself in martial arts, and the man across from him is his distant superior.
As a mid-level commander, there was no right answer for him to give right away.
I can only follow orders and make suggestions carefully.
“May the Provincial Commanding Officer request…
“That’s it. it’s okay. “Isn’t this saying that this old man has to stand up in the end?”
The old man threw up his hand and stood up, patting his back. Before he knew it, he was holding something strange in his hand.
It is long enough to be called a walking stick, and the sound of hitting the bedrock is too heavy to be called a tree.
‘What on earth is that?’
Leaving aside the military officer’s inaudible questions, Noshin sat down in front of the archers who were constantly shooting arrows.
Thinking back to the conversation I had with Jin Wi-kyung before the battle began.
‘Senior Noh, you should take charge of the cliff top.’
‘I owe you a debt, so I should follow suit… but this proposal is not like you. Wouldn’t it be much more helpful for Nobu to be under him?’
The old man’s rebuttal was obvious at first glance.
One thousand archers, selected out of fifteen thousand troops, occupy the top of the cliff and rain down arrows. How many of the enemies will survive to climb the cliff? Why is there a need for a strong expert? However, Jin Wi-kyung’s answer without hesitation was firm.
‘you’re right. I guess they think that too.’
‘They will climb the cliff. certainly.’
‘You are already convinced.’
‘Our troops on the ground will fight to the death with all their might. There is only a difference in time, and eventually they will aim for the cliff. And among them, the most outstanding elites will also be included.’ ‘Nobu, stop those elites?’ ‘If you block your enemies’ attempts to climb the cliff, you can inflict great damage. If you protect that area to the end, you can level the scales, which have been tilted for a long time.’
Only then did the old man remember.
Although it was only a short period of time, less than a year, what he saw and experienced was that So Jiaju of the Taewonjin family always made wise choices.
‘good. As you wish, Nobu will definitely catch a big fish in this battle.’
‘Don’t push yourself too hard. Although Mr. Noh is said to have fully recovered, there is not enough recovery time…
‘Don’t worry. I have already owed the Taewonjin family my life twice, and I will pay the price well this time.’
The martial arts people do not forget benevolence (恩怨).
This is especially true for martial artists who are older and have built up a considerable reputation.
And the old man was a person who fit both cases.
He spent his entire life in his hometown without engaging in any school, and did not leave there even after reaching the highest level of the peak.
The old man planned to bury his bones in his hometown where he was born and raised.
Until one day, right after meeting a woman of outstanding beauty, I lost my senses.
“Finally… the time has come to repay the debt.”
The old man muttered in a low voice.
The person to whom he must repay his debt is not only Taewonjinga, who restored his sanity that had been taken away by others and even treated his severe injuries over several months.
Amcheon (暗天).
We also have to repay our debt of resentment to those guys.
No, I have to take revenge.
“Okay, come.”
The old man of short stature smiled faintly and held his beloved weapon. And, in a motion he had repeated countless times since childhood, he vigorously shook his arms.
Huh.
The love bottle, which is as large as three pieces, bends brightly, scattering dark flashes of light.
The pure white silver line and hook at the end were fired at the enemies who were climbing the cliff to avoid the rain of arrows.
Shuhuaaaaa! A close attack!
A beam of pure white light tears through all directions.
The flesh and bones split like tofu,
Dozens of dismembered limbs along with clothes slide down the cliff.
overwhelming power.
There was no enemy who could avoid the attack of the old man, who had taken Ilshin’s inaction and geographical advantage.
No, it seemed that way.
Until the very next moment, a red flash flashed through the dense silver net spread out on the cliff.
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
A tiny wave noise, smaller than the sound of the wind.
But the old man could feel it clearly.
Part of the silver line that was writhing as if it were alive and tearing at the enemies was cut off by the blow a moment ago.
And the power contained in that red flash was never beneath me.
‘Strong energy (dream energy)······!’
It’s definitely true.
The only thing that can achieve strength with a single swing is the strength of the same kind.
“dare!”
Shriek!
The old man’s hands became blurred as he roared.
Aebyeong, whose strength and speed increased, struggled like a dragon, and the archers, who realized that something was unusual, gritted their teeth and pulled the bowstring.
“Concentrate fire!”
“That guy, that guy in the lead is the leader! Fire all at once!”
Tootong! Shhh!
“Kuh, keuhuh!”
“Aaaah!”
The sound and screams that resound incessantly.
However, there was nothing that could stop the shadow from escaping the powerful fire net that covered the cliff.
Kang!
Defeat the flying old man’s attack once again.
Shut up!
He dodged dozens of arrows aimed at his entire body by twisting his body as if performing a trick.
Tuk.
I stepped on a steep cliff.
No, it exploded and was shot.
Quang! Squirt!
It was a race and a flight at the same time. He was so fast that even a master of Byeokhogong (壁虎功) who had reached the highest level could not imitate him, and he went in direct defiance of the laws of the world that had been established since time immemorial.
And finally.
d
The shadow reached the edge of a distant cliff and faced the old man who had been waiting for it.
To be exact, a silver flash of light swirling along his fingertips.
Huh, Shuhuaaaaa!
The space split apart.
The old man saw a shadowy face in the light of the wind and pure white river, split into dozens or hundreds of pieces.
A dry body. Sharp eyes.
The man, who must have been a nomad, was smiling at this moment.
Quad deuk!
A tip of a cliff that collapses helplessly without being able to overcome a huge force.
But there are no traces of death anywhere.
At a time when the archers on the cliff were agitated, the small-tongued old man suddenly opened his mouth to the man standing tall with his feet in the empty air.
“Who are you?”
The man answered.
“Hunter.”
“Then you came to the wrong place.”
“I thought so too at first, but I changed my mind.”
The man, Qinggen, looked at the old man and pursed his lips.
“It’s a bit old, but it looks quite appetizing. is not it?”
The old man snorted.
“You are a third-rate hunter. “As old as he is, he doesn’t even know how to wait.”
“are you okay. “Because my teeth are strong.”
Chingen asked, smiling while showing his teeth.
“So, who are you?”
“angler.”
The old man answered calmly and added:
“I thought it was full of minnows, but I am an angler who caught an unexpectedly big fish and was in a really good mood.”
“That big fish, I think it’s too big for an old man like you to catch.”
“What can I do if that bastard is jumping around? Just grab the tail and hit it a couple of times and that’s it.”
“Oh yeah?”
The hunter looked at the angler and smiled. At this moment, the nickname of someone who resembled the old fisherman in front of him was hovering in his mind.
Despite his strong martial arts skills, he never leaves the riverside and is a veteran of the squadron who uses strange weapons.
“We will soon find out who will succeed in the hunt. Isn’t it? Dong-dong Eo-ong (洞 庭漁讀).”
The old man, Dongjeong Eoong, answered while holding up his favorite pet, the Black Wood Dog.
“Indeed, it is a huge step.”
Shut up!
The two winds clashed against each other.
