Episode 1072 Who made a mistake? (2)
Mangeumdaebu’s eyebrows were clearly distorted.
‘This?’
Things started to turn out differently than expected.
Before drawing this plate, he thoroughly analyzed the sect called Hwasan. Any sect that knows even a little bit about the situation in which Gangho operates cannot fail to know how big of a variable Hwasan is.
As the analysis was thorough, I thought I had set the perfect trap. In fact, they fell right into that trap. Moreover, since the Black Ghost’s power was preserved and the siege was successful, it was thought that there would be no more variables.
But now the volcano’s response is completely outside the direction he thought.
‘Is it possible?’
No way.
All humans have unchanging tendencies. Those who make choices have no doubt that they have reached the right conclusion after deep thought, but in reality, most people are guided by their own inclinations rather than logic.
The same goes for clans. The tendencies of a sect do not change as easily as the tendencies of a single person. No, on the contrary, due to the nature of a sect where numerous people must come together to come to a single conclusion, the tendency is even more entrenched and cannot be easily changed.
But now volcanoes are making choices that are completely opposite to the tendencies they have shown so far.
When adversity comes, Hwasan is the place where they rush towards it. That hasn’t changed at all in the past or in the current Plum Blossom Island.
But suddenly you put your feet on the ground and start holding on to your standing position?
‘This cannot happen!’
But isn’t that impossible happening now? If so, there must be a cause.
Mangeum Daebu was soon able to discover the cause without difficulty.
‘Green Forest King.’
Lim So-byeong was looking this way while waving his fan. Even though it was quite a distance away, Mangeumdaebu could feel it clearly. The clear mockery in those eyes.
Grumbling.
His teeth clenched roughly.
Even in hectic situations, he calmly understands the opponent’s goal and instantly finds the perfect response. If there’s anyone who can do something like that right now, it’s definitely like Lim So-byeong.
It was Lim So-byeong who led a long confrontation with Jang Il-so’s Man-in-bang while hiding his whereabouts as much as possible. Ilshin’s inaction is not enough to be a variable, but even Mangeumdaebu cannot help but acknowledge his strategic strategy.
So, does the reason why this happened lie with Mangeum Godfather, who knew that Lim So-byeong was there but failed to take action accordingly?
No one would dare say such a thing.
Think about it. A prestigious political faction is a place where people are united with pride in keeping their agreements. That is why they are always disgusted to even mention the existence of Sapa.
Hwasan is also a place worthy of a prestigious name. Are these people not ordinary Safa people but listening to the orders of the Safa leader known as the Green Forest King? There’s no way that’s possible.
In the first place, inserting the Green Forest King from Sapa into the union of a small number of elites moving to Gangnam is something that no sane human being can understand. How could it be that those disciples of Hwasan followed Lim So-byeong’s instructions? Who could have guessed such a situation?
‘Damn it.’
Godfather Mangeum bit his lip.
‘But it’s meaningless to argue with logic now.’
What is certain is that this ridiculous thing is actually happening right in front of his eyes.
‘But it’s still okay.’
He is still in control. It’s true that things are a little messed up, but they won’t have any strength left to break through this siege.
If we continue to wage a slow war of attrition like this, we will eventually die without being able to overcome it.
However, one more variable was now looming over Mangeum Loan. He looked at the variable with a stern expression.
‘In this situation…’
It was Cheongmyeong, standing in the middle of the volcano with his eyes closed.
Basically, fortune-telling is a dangerous act that can lead to demonic possession with just the slightest shock. Therefore, fortune telling must be performed in a safe place.
But that crazy guy is calmly praying in the middle of this battlefield where life and death go hand in hand. Even if your nerves were tougher than whale tendons, you couldn’t even try. There is no other way to call him a madman.
The problem is that the madman’s actions are strangling none other than Mangeum Daebu.
‘…how long will it take?’
Full recovery will never be possible. Even those who practice luck would not want that. But how to recover enough to fight with a sword again?
‘Something? Or Lee Gak?’
I can’t calculate it.
Mangeumdaebu, who was glaring at Cheongmyeong with deathly eyes, flinched and stretched out his hands. Before I knew it, my palms were damp with sweat.
‘…Are you saying I’m being cornered? What happens in this situation?’
Mangeumdaebu’s face began to gradually distort.
Qingming’s military force is definitely threatening.
Even if there is an assumption that a complete recovery is difficult, he is the person who defeated Dan Jagang anyway. Mangeumdaebu knows best how monstrous Danjagang is. Because the arm I lost to him still throbs.
If Cheongmyeong were to join the battlefield with even some of his strength back, I cannot guarantee that he would be able to withstand this siege.
‘I have to finish it before then.’
Mangeum Daebu took a step forward without realizing it. It was an unconscious action. Even though I clearly know that I need to observe the situation a little further back.
Mangeumdaebu, who was about to say that he should completely go on the offensive, bit his lip and forcefully swallowed the words that were about to come out.
“Push a little harder. “Don’t give yourself any leeway!”
“yes!”
Mangeumdaebu unconsciously tapped my thigh with his limp fingers. The movement looked like moving an abacus bead.
Across the fiercely contested battlefield, Lim So-byeong was watching the Mangeum godfather’s movements without missing a single word.
“Hmm.”
Jang Il-so’s gaze, which was focused on Mangeum Godfather, slowly moved to Lim So-byeong.
Lim So-byeong’s eyes, looking around with his fan open, were frighteningly cool and cold.
‘Green Forest King.’
Jang Il-so’s eyes darken for an instant.
Before the name Sapaeryeon was created, the person Jang Il-so was most wary of was not the Black Dragon King, Mangeum Daebu, or Cheonmyeonsu Master, but the Green Forest King Lim So-byeong.
Because the green forest is strong? Because Lim So-byeong is outstanding?
you’re welcome.
Because eating them was the most urgent task.
In his eyes, King Nokrim was like a knight playing chess without a car or cannon. This means that Nokrim was only a half-formed sect that only had a large number of members but was absolutely lacking in the number of absolute experts.
The green forest is a place where even the number of people cannot be properly utilized. It is impossible to gather all the Green Forest Islands scattered across the world’s mountains in one place, supply the supplies consumed by the troops, and maintain the line of battle.
Although it is large, it cannot concentrate its power properly and does not have any power that can be called the main force. Is there any food more appetizing than this?
However, Lim So-byeong led the green team and withstood Maninbang’s offensive.
While maintaining a long front line, they avoid direct conflict as much as possible, and use the absence of the main force as an advantage to hide their presence and Nokchae’s whereabouts as much as possible, preventing them from creating a place to target in the first place.
Lim So-byeong is the person who has minimized damage to green forests by endlessly repeating actions that are worthless to call a strategy.
The more it happened, the more solid Jang Il-so’s thoughts became. This means that green forests must be cleared as quickly as possible. Before Lim So-byeong gets a hand that he can use properly.
But…
‘I never thought he would get that card from a place other than Sapa.’
It may be an inappropriate word for the situation, but it is not only Jang Il-so’s mistake that Lim So-byeong looks excited. This is because for the first time, someone who had always focused on making the most of the advantage of numbers was able to do what he wanted from the opposite perspective.
“Hmm.”
Jang Il-so looked at Lim So-byeong with a strange gaze.
‘Besides…’
Jang Il-so smiled crookedly as he saw Lim So-byeong’s response and the volcanic herpes at a glance. The exposed teeth were as threatening as those of a wild beast.
“You’re really good at reading people. “Still.”
Jang Il-so muttered quietly and spoke to Ho Ji-myeong standing next to him.
“A pseudonym.”
“Yes, Lord Ryeon.”
“I need to change my plans.”
Hu Jiaming looked back at Jang Ilso with questioning eyes.
“I guess we need to adjust the rhythm a bit.”
Seeing the charming smile on Jang Il-so’s face, Hu Jiaming’s gaze instantly turned towards the volcano.
“Well… I guess I can’t imitate that one.”
Those who bite red dogs. If we stay where we are like the disciples of Hwasan, we will not be able to exert our strength. That’s possible because it’s a volcano. But even in this situation, there is a way to fully bring out Hong Jian’s power.
“We need to change the biters a little bit. “Take care of those targeting the volcano first.”
“Then Lord Ryeon becomes dangerous.”
“Tsk.”
Jang Il-so clicked his tongue as if he was disapproving. This is the reason why he cannot entrust full authority to his family name, even though he trusts it very much.
“If you want to catch a big fish the size of a mangeum, wouldn’t you have to give up your life as bait?”
“But…”
Ho Ji-myeong glances at Jang Il-so’s expression and ends up nodding.
“I understand, Lord Ryeon.”
As soon as Hu Jiaming gave the command, Hong Jian’s gaze turned all at once. It was an eerily fast and perfect response.
Jang Il-so’s eyes drew a strange arc.
“Now Mangeum Godfather….”
Jang Il-so giggled.
‘Can you calculate this situation?’
Can you bounce that proud abacus and rule this place?
A person who sees people only as numbers.
This person knows better than anyone else the illusions of numbers.
A person who will do anything if he can win.
And…
Hu Ga-myeong’s gaze turns to Cheong-myeong, who is crying.
‘Even the crazy one who grabs and shakes everyone just by closing his eyes in place.’
What Mangeumdaebu had to deal with was a hellish state where the monsters that rule the rivers are entangled in a fight to bite each other.
If you can handle this situation, you will be able to catch big fish such as Jang Il-so, Cheongmyeong, and Lim So-byeong.
But what if you make a mistake? The result is obvious.
Mangeumdaebu’s face is slowly hardening. In contrast, a brighter smile spread across Jang Il-so’s face.
“This is probably your first time, right?”
There is no way that someone who never wants to suffer a loss would ever gamble with his or her life.
Jang Il-so took a step forward and took a few more steps towards the elites of the Black Demon Treasures charging towards him. As if to lure the approaching hunters.
“Now here is the neck you want. “Please come quickly.”
The eyes of the black ghost elites began to shine at the sight of Jang Il-so approaching with his neck exposed. The opportunity to achieve the tremendous achievement of ‘the one who cut off Jang Il-so’s head’ is right in front of their noses.
The black demon elites rolled their eyes and rushed forward. Jang Il-so, who witnessed the obvious crack, let out a cute laugh.
“It should be right.”
At that moment, his eyes gave off a magical light.
