Episode 1379 The preparations are now complete. (4)
Riverside in darkness.
Several young men dressed in shabby, worn-out clothes were stamping their feet with anxious faces.
“Isn’t it conflicting?”
“How can that be! “This is information provided by the headquarters!”
“Oh no, didn’t you go to Shaolin a long time ago? No matter how fast they are, there’s no way the distance would be this wide…”
“There must be something going on.”
“Isn’t it about saving the Hwasan Sword Association? Is there anything that Lord Cheonwoo would consider more important than this? “Even if a forest fire breaks out in the volcano and the conduit burns out, I don’t even care and am just going to take care of the Hwasan Swordsman Association, but I’m relaxed like this…”
“Okay, just wait a little longer!”
“Okay.”
It was a time when beggars craned their necks and stared upstream.
“Here I come, Cheon Woo-maeng!”
“Why the fuck are you so late!”
The beggars who spotted the group running from afar quickly ran towards them.
“Where are you?”
“I don’t think it will be in front… There it is! Buntaju!”
As soon as they spotted Hong Dae-gwang among the crowd, the beggars screamed loudly.
“Harmony Buntaju! here! “Here we go!”
Hong Dae-gwang looked around at the loud noise.
“what!”
I saw a group of beggars waving their hands at the riverside. This is what they all shouted at Hong Dae-gwang.
“Report from Buntaju…!”
“I don’t have time to stop and listen, so you come here, you bastards!”
However, Hong Dae-gwang cut off nervously before he could hear everything. The beggars flinched and ran towards him.
“Buntaju! “This is a situation report!”
“Okay, tell me quickly!”
“⋯⋯ here? Here…”
The beggars expressed their disapproval and looked around. This place is full of Cheonwoomaengdo who came with Hong Daegwang. If you don’t move, won’t you have no choice but to give information?
Hong Dae-kwang didn’t know this, but instead of understanding the situation, he actually got angrier.
“What kind of bastards are so relaxed! These people will starve because they can’t even beg! “Why don’t you speak quickly?”
“Those who listen…”
“If you’re not going to talk, get the hell out of here! “Don’t catch people who are busy.”
“Keu… “Let me tell you!”
In the end, the beggars reluctantly opened their mouths as if in pain.
It is inherently impossible for a Buntaju in a place as small as Hwaeum to shout this loudly at the members of the main group.
But Hong Dae-gwang is not an ordinary Buntaju. He is a key figure who is mentioned as the next Ark of Openness, and at the same time, he is the only beggar who can communicate with Hwasan, the most interested sect in the world.
So, even those from the headquarters can do something… No, I had no choice but to give up a few moves and go in.
“First of all, this is a command from the Lord: Do not act like Cheon Woo-maeng.”
The beggar, who was rolling his eyes here and there, not knowing what to do, soon closed his eyes tightly and said.
“That… move towards the old faction…”
Still, I tried my best to speak so as not to be heard by others, but my efforts were completely useless.
“what? Old school? Are you telling me to join the old faction?”
“Bu Buntaju. “Listen to that voice…”
“But is this guy really senile? What kind of nonsense are you sending people to talk about? Okay, next!”
“It’s a command from the Ark…”
“Okay, next time!”
A soft sigh escaped from the mouth of the beggar who was reporting.
Originally, Hong Daegwang was not an ordinary open city, but after hanging out with the Hwasan Sword Association, it felt like there was no front or back.
“⋯⋯Currently, the ditch is heading toward Nanjing⋯⋯.”
“Hey you bastard!”
Hong Dae-kwang suddenly stretched out his hand and hit the reporter on the back of the head with all his might.
Pow!
“Ahhhh! “Why are you hitting me?”
“How many branches is this Yangtze River divided into? Is there another direction? “Is there any other way for those ships to go?”
“⋯⋯.”
“Stop talking nonsense and tell me important information! “Before I kick it away.”
“yes! “We have received intelligence that the remnants of the Black Ghosts who were stationed east of Gangnam are also moving towards Nanjing!”
“⋯⋯Black Ghost?”
“yes.”
At that moment, Hong Dae-gwang’s face distorted.
The black ghost who was once called a member of the Shinjuo clan is now a faithful servant of that Jang Il-so.
‘Are you saying that Surochae, Black Ghost, and Jang Il-so are directly leading Maninbang and heading to Nanjing?’
In addition, the power of the Maninbang that was headed to Haenam must also be heading north, which means that more than sixty percent of the entire power of the Sapaeryeon is concentrated in Nanjing.
Considering the scale alone, it far exceeds the number of people gathered at Heilongchae during the Yangtze River Disaster. In the past 100 years, there is no history in which this much power has been gathered in one place.
“That crazy guy… “Are you sure you want to try it?”
If this happens, it is no longer just a matter of whether or not the Hwasan Sword Association can be saved.
The political faction based in Gangbuk and the political faction based in Gangnam may clash head-on across the huge city of Nanjing.
War.
These were the two words that came to Hong Dae-gwang’s mind.
Two forces clash around the huge city of Nanjing?
‘It never ends with just a short collision!’
Basically, starting a fire is the hardest thing. However, once it is applied, it is not a problem for it to spread. In the past, during the Yangtze River Disaster, the Gangnam non-aggression pact was added as water to the fire, but this time, no faction will be able to accept such humiliation.
In the end, the only way left is to fight until one side is reduced to ashes.
‘This… Was this supposed to get this big?’
What on earth started this?
Because the oral vessels are attacked? Or did Jang Il-so move it himself?
‘No… ‘It was before that.’
In the end, it was clear that all of this was brought about by the Hwasan Sword Association’s move to Gangnam. If he had not headed to Haenam, Haenam would have been reduced to ashes, but it would have taken a lot more time for a war like this to break out.
There’s no way that one small thing won’t grow into something infinitely bigger, but this goes far beyond that level.
“we are? “What are these beggars doing?”
“It is said that the headquarters has now dispatched reinforcements to Nanjing!”
“Now wait a minute. “There are beggars in the Yangtze River now.”
“They say that’s not enough and we’re sending additional red and blue troops.”
“⋯⋯This is crazy⋯⋯.”
Hong Dae-gwang’s face turned even more pale.
The information held by the open headquarters is much more extensive than what a single branch owner can hold. In openness, we understand the world based on this.
However, the fact that the headquarters was sending support meant that it was judged that there was a very high probability of a conflict between the Sapae-ryeon and the old faction in Nanjing.
“Notices have now been sent to all other sects. This is a call to arms. At the same time, we are also attracting people from small and medium-sized cultural groups around Nanjing.”
“Damn, they’re going to come just because of that!”
If they were people who could have easily arrived with just one letter, we wouldn’t have gone through this trouble to recruit them.
Those who have not always been able to intervene in the center of power due to their distance are probably watching the current situation with a sneer. He said to try to block it with that excellent center.
“so? “They said they would provide support?”
“The notice probably hasn’t even arrived yet. “At least for one day…”
“You damn thing! Well, the best you can do is wait until everything is gone! What good is that! “You should have sent it earlier!”
“Oh, I couldn’t help it! “The defeated army moved too suddenly…”
“Isn’t it the headquarters’ job to prepare for that? “What are you beggars doing eating from beggars?”
In response to Hong Dae-gwang’s harsh shouting, a beggar distorted his face and made an excuse.
“Well… we also have something to say, so this was no way.”
“I’ll have to go to the school and find Dori! “Why are you looking for Dory in this yard?”
“No, that’s not it. In a situation like this, wouldn’t the shaman and Jongnam, centered around Shaolin, buy time until other factions arrive?”
“⋯⋯huh?”
“This is a shaman and a Jongnam. Shaman and Jongnam! No matter how much we take out the dragon, how can we fill the void between those two clans? “What is the status of those two sects in the old sect!”
Hong Dae-gwang closed his mouth.
No matter what anyone says, the center of the old sect is Shaolin, but the sect that perfectly supported that sect was the shaman and Jongnam. But now, the two sects have entered the Bongmun side by side.
“That’s true, but…”
Hong Dae-gwang trailed off awkwardly.
If it were normal, he would have been swearing all day long, asking why the damn bastards made this situation so needlessly, but now from Hong Dae-gwang’s position, he can’t say that.
This is because it is an undeniable fact that volcanoes had a great influence on the fortunes of those two schools.
‘Damn it! ‘Because things are going to go wrong!’
Hong Dae-gwang raised his voice for no reason.
“No, that’s not something to ignore! I should at least send someone to tell them to open the seal! Are those crazy guys going to lock the door and everyone else will just watch and see if they leave or not?”
“It looks like the headquarters has already sent someone.”
“however?”
“It seemed like they couldn’t even get inside, let alone convey the word. “Don’t they say you’ll be kicked out for not answering questions?”
“I’m going to turn around, really.”
Bongmun also needs to determine the situation! What on earth are you thinking, being so stubborn even in this situation? Anyway, those damn old school bastards ruin things because of their pride. Because of that small pride.
“This is the end of the report. For the reason I mentioned earlier, Bangju told Buntaju to join the nine factions…”
“I will take care of that! it’s okay!”
Hong Dae-gwang gritted his teeth.
Even if Wang Geoji personally led the elite and joined the Nine Sect, he had no intention of joining under them. In fact, his affiliation is not the Gupa Ilbang, but the Cheonwoo Meng.
“I’m sure you’ve heard everything, but the situation…”
“Are the black ghosts coming to Nanjing from the east now?”
But at that moment, Tanggunak, who was silently listening to the conversation, suddenly asked.
“Yes… that’s right.”
The beggar glanced at Hong Dae-gwang and nodded.
“Half of the Ten Thousand Gangs led by Jang Il-so are heading from the west to Nanjing.”
“What kind of obvious words…”
“Half of the remaining ten people are heading north.”
Hong Dae-gwang’s face gradually hardened.
“And on the Yangtze River, none other than Surochae takes over and blocks the river?”
understood. What will come next?
Tanggunak muttered in a somber voice.
“Our children are heading to Nanjing. “To the center, where the three factions of the Sapaeryun are gathering from all directions.”
can’t survive
Hong Dae-gwang’s face turned pale.
So far, the Hwasan Sword Association has made many things that everyone said were impossible into reality. Common sense does not apply to him.
However, no matter how much the Hwasan Sword Association is… it will never be able to survive heading to Nanjing.
“Oh no…”
Hong Dae-gwang’s gaze hurriedly turned across the river.
The world beyond the river was just stained black and silent.
