Episode 1383. Of course, that won’t happen. (3)
“Ah! Damn it! “Why are there so many?”
Jo Geol showed off his nerves by slashing at the chest of the charging enemy.
“Shut your mouth, you damn bastard!”
“no! “Isn’t it too much to do?”
Jo Geul distorted her face and complained.
Break through Nanjing in one go without encountering the enemy until you get to the right location?
‘We haven’t even gotten to that appropriate location yet!’
It feels like all the Sapas in the world are gathered here. After passing a forest, Sapa is bustling, and after crossing a stream, Sapa is bustling again. The problem is….
“What the hell!”
“It’s the enemy!”
“no! “Why are you guys so surprised earlier?”
Jogeol shouted loudly.
The reason they are so shocked when they meet Sapa is that they are even more surprised than Cheon Woo-maeng and Haenam. It was as if he had been suddenly attacked by a demonic cult in his own neighborhood.
“It’s really so cool….”
Paaaaaa!
As Jo Geol was about to scream about his death, someone suddenly jumped over his shoulder and lunged forward.
Para la la rock!
With a sound like a dragonfly taking flight, the sword spread its wings in all directions.
“Ahh!”
“Aaaahhh!”
The sappas, who had been cut all over their bodies in an instant, were rolling around clutching their wounds.
“accident!”
“…step back. “If you’re going to keep crying.”
“Oh, no, that’s not it…”
Jo Geol made an excuse with a straight face and then closed her mouth.
Although he was also seriously injured, Yu Iseol’s injuries were even worse. It wouldn’t seem too pathetic for him to keep crying while fighting without saying a word…
“Jogeol, you’re already pathetic.”
“Don’t read people’s minds! Have you mastered mind reading?”
Baekcheon, who spoke indifferently, followed behind Yu Iseol, who was running away.
“Samai! Are you okay?”
“Your death penalty.”
Yu Iseol calmly nodded.
“I can fight now.”
“Don’t overdo it. “The injury is deep.”
“yes.”
Although I was told not to overdo it, Yu Iseol’s sword was no different from usual. It’s still smart, clean, and quick.
And Baekcheon, looking at that sword, felt something in his heart melt away. It was a relief.
I was worried inside. I wonder if Yu Iseol might lose his sword because of that deep injury. Regardless of whether she can become a force right now, Yu Iseol’s black volcano is no different from a treasure that should never be lost.
But I could tell by looking at that sword. The fact that he was worried for no reason.
‘But no matter how much I think about it, it’s strange.’
Baekcheon’s gaze turned to the Sapa people that Yu Iseol was cutting down.
“Alternating between front line and back line. Those who are tired, replenish your strength!”
“yes!”
Kwak Hwan-so’s voice rang loudly. Not only Yu Iseol but also the Haenam faction were pushing their enemies to the breaking point. He pushes his opponent so hard that he can afford to show mercy by only inflicting moderate injuries.
So strong that you can’t be an opponent? Because you have grown enough?
‘no. ‘That side is too weak.’
The Sapa group they encounter now falls far short of the level of those who held them back in Guangdong.
That’s why it’s strange.
Whether it was Ho Ga-myeong or Jang Il-so, if the enemy had been deployed with the intention of catching them, they would not have sent those people. There’s no way those two people don’t know that people like that are of no help.
Even if they are rotten, they are still good, and even if they are ruined, they are called Gupa. How can such small children be a match for those who are joined by the core of Cheonwoomaeng centered on Haenam?
But then why? There is no way that Jang Il-so or Ho Ga-myeong would do such a wasteful thing without any effect.
“Jangmun Assistant Manager.”
At that moment, Namgung Do-wi, who ran next to him, looked at Baek-cheon’s face without trying to say something.
“…It looks like you’ve already noticed.”
“yes.”
“These are not the ones who came to deal with us. “Let alone our military power, it seems like they didn’t even know we existed.”
“It certainly is.”
Baekcheon, who was about to turn his head in the direction of Cheongmyeong and the Green Forest King, flinched and fixed his head.
‘Don’t rely on it!’
It is an absolute blessing to have people with high knowledge among our allies. However, the moment you leave all analysis and judgment to them, the blessing is no longer a blessing and becomes a shackle.
It is meaningless if one does not have the ability to think and judge for oneself. Is there no guarantee that they will be there whenever he has to make a serious decision?
‘Where can this Safa group help?’
It is clearly not a powerful force in dealing with the core members of the old faction. then?
“They are gathering to deal with others, not us.”
“I think the same thing.”
“That means…”
Goosebumps rose from the back of Baekcheon’s hand.
Even if the troops cannot deal with the core of the old faction, they can always deal with the small and medium-sized factions of the political faction. Just because they look like idiots in their eyes doesn’t mean they are really idiots.
The problem is that as long as this group of factions is in Gangnam, they will never have to deal with the small or medium-sized factions in Gangbuk.
“Perhaps… I know it doesn’t make sense, but what happened when Shaolin gathered strength in Gangbuk?”
“…Is that possible?”
“I guess so.”
Namgung Do-wi, who spoke, also laughed as if his own words were absurd.
In the past, when Shaolin raised a flag and shouted, numerous sects gathered under it. But that’s impossible now.
Everyone in the world clearly saw what happened on Plum Island. They realized that they too could be abandoned by Shaolin the moment they became isolated, so would they be crazy and try to follow Shaolin’s instructions?
That insignificant choice opened the way for many political factions around the world to live their own lives.
‘Why are you so stupid…’
If you only look at the short-term results, the cause will seem foolish. But the reason it is a great cause is because it ultimately returns to the right result.
If So-rim had rushed to save Namgung without following back then, the power of So-rim’s voice would have been incomparable to what it is now.
In any case, an all-out attack on Gangnam is impossible with Shaolin’s current reputation and power. It may be possible to lead a few factions that follow oneself into an attack, but it must be considered difficult to unite all small and medium-sized factions.
Then there is only one thing left.
“…Are you going to cross the river? Leading these sects?”
“Is it possible? Aren’t these people of martial status high enough to cross that wide Yangtze River with their bare bodies? Even if all of them are visible, numerous fleets will have to make several round trips. There’s no way the old faction would open their eyes and watch that, right?”
“You have to think something has happened in the meantime. “The crossing cannot be stopped.”
“So…”
Nangong Daowi’s face became more serious. Summarizing the conversation so far, the conclusion is clear.
Advance north. It is clear that Jang Il-so has drawn a knife.
‘now?’
Namgung Do-wi swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.
No, it is possible. It is possible at any time. That Jangilso can cross the river at any time and start a war. An ordinary person wants stability and perfect victory, but what he wants is chaos and a dramatic victory using it.
The reason why I couldn’t help but shudder at this fact, even though I knew all that, is simple.
‘I thought it wouldn’t happen now, too.’
War breaks out at any time. That’s a fact everyone here knew.
But at the same time, everyone thinks. At least the time when that war is taking place is not now. I don’t know when it will be a little later, but it will be at least some time later.
Jang Il-so was openly ridiculing their confidence and wishes.
“Why now…”
“If you think about it backwards, isn’t there only now?”
“yes?”
“All the people in the world live in the world, but only a few move the world. “Aren’t all the eyes of those few people focused on Gangnam right now?”
“….”
“There is no way Jang Ilso would not take advantage of such a situation. You will definitely want to lead in the way you want. Even if the time is not yet ripe, if the conditions are right, we will ignore that.”
“Then…”
Nangong Daowi’s voice trembled slightly. Because the meaning of those words touched me so vividly.
“Are you saying that the war is going on because of us… and no one else?”
Baekcheon was silent for a moment. But he soon gathered his thoughts and opened his mouth again.
“War would have happened at any time. “Just because the timing was a little earlier doesn’t necessarily mean it’s our fault.”
“But…”
Namgung Dowi hesitated, still unable to erase his uncomfortable expression. Baekcheon looked straight at him and asked.
“Then, if you had known this outcome, would you have stayed in Gangbuk to avoid war?”
Even Namgung Dowi could not answer those words.
“The opponent is Jang Il-so. If we hadn’t moved, they would have planned another plan based on the fact that Haenam was destroyed. “Because he’s that kind of guy to begin with.”
Nangong Dowi weakly nodded.
“So for now, let’s just think about getting through this situation.”
“That’s the right answer!”
The two people suddenly turned around at the sound of a voice coming from behind them. Lim So-byeong was shaking his head while gently shaking the fan in his hand.
“It seems like you two have grown up a bit. “This manager is very happy.”
“I feel dirty.”
“Isn’t the compliment Sapa gave an insult?”
The two people got angry for no reason. At that time, Lim So-byeong, whose eyes suddenly darkened, spoke.
“You should focus on other things rather than that.”
“yes?”
“If Jang Il-so is really planning to start a war… If he was planning to advance to the North, then the one benefit we have enjoyed so far will be completely lost.”
“Benefits?”
The two people’s expressions became cold. What on earth did you benefit from that guy Jang Il-so? I saw the loss.
In particular, Namgung Do-wi, who lost most of his family thanks to Jang Il-so, glared at Lim So-byeong with life-threatening eyes. But Lim So-byeong shrugged his shoulders and spoke firmly.
“To be precise, there is no need to maintain balance anymore.”
“balance?”
“The existence of a blind man.”
Only then did the two people understand Lim So-byeong’s words and became silent.
“Until now, Jang Il-so has been aiming to cause a rift in the political faction by neglecting Cheon Woo-maeng. But if war breaks out, the story is different. “Because the Cheonwoo Alliance is the force most likely to fight fiercely on the front lines of the war.”
“Sure….”
Even if you don’t want to, it will happen. That is, if one person turns his back and starts using evil.
And that means….
“Up until now, they kept it alive because it was beneficial, but now they will try to kill it because it is a hindrance. “No matter what it takes.”
Both people’s eyes turned backwards at the same time. To be precise, to Cheongmyeong, the person following from behind.
“Uh…”
Baekcheon, who was about to say something while looking at that expressionless face, flinched for a moment.
His eyes turn not to Cheongmyeong, but to the forest they had already passed a little later. The tall tall trees were shaking with a rustling sound.
“But already….”
“It’s coming.”
Lim So-byeong folded the fan and held it tightly.
“Be prepared. “It will be different from before.”
Kwaaaaang!
Soon, large trees collapsed one after another, and very familiar people appeared. Even saying I’m sick of Maninbang’s uniform is no longer enough.
In the middle of it all, Hu Jiaming growled with cold eyes.
“Tell me how severe Sapa’s revenge is.”
Baekcheon bit his lip until it bled.
