Episode 371
Silence Comes.
Silence comes to the gorge, which was constantly shaking, and the thick dust clouds settle to reveal its interior.
It was a disaster caused by a single blow.
The land exploded and turned ugly, and the corpses crushed in between.
Those who were in the center of the camp could not even find their shape.
Those killed by Jinmu and those killed by Neung Seo-hyeon and his subordinates who jumped in to save Jinmu.
In the canyon filled with corpses, there were only around twenty black swordsmen who survived.
Even he shrank and rolled his eyes anxiously, like a beggar under a bridge trembling in fear after being beaten for three days and nights.
It was also because Samado, who was like their idol, was struggling to vomit blood while being torn apart at Jinmu’s feet.
The warriors of the Mukgeomdae, who lost their fighting spirit in the battle that was over, dropped their swords one after another and knelt down.
What are you guys doing?
To surrender and beg for your life?
Jinmu looked at them indifferently, then turned his head to Samado again.
“I asked him to ask you a few questions, and he left it and died shortly thereafter.”
“…wow.”
Hearing Jinmu’s words, squatting in front of him and grabbing his hair, Samado didn’t even have time to vent his anger and continued to vomit blood.
“Tell me one thing before you die.”
“….”
“Who is your head? Not that bastard who learned absorption magic. Are there any more on it? right?”
Even in the midst of this, Samado laughed faintly at the infinitely mischievous tone.
“Do you think I will… speak?”
“right? I knew it. Damn, there’s nothing to come out of a guy who’s already dying.”
Jinmu let out a deep sigh and let go of his hair.
Samado will die if left alone.
Internal wounds were also internal wounds, but there was no way to survive because the blood he vomited was full of internal organs.
“I can’t help it. I have no choice but to catch the other bastards who are coming to Samdongcheon and try to catch them.”
“Yes, if it’s your inaction, it might be.”
“…?”
The focus returned to Samado’s eyes, which had dimmed like the flames of a dying person at the last moment.
“But are you okay now?”
“what?”
“The martial art you wrote must have belonged to a shaman.”
“…”
“It looks like you haven’t revealed your identity to them yet. Do you only know me as a midfielder? Now that they have seen your martial arts, will you stay still?”
Samado’s words were correct.
“Kuh-kuk I wonder how the Magi, who are united with pride, will come out from under you, who has a good spirit that is no different from Magi.”
“….”
“Maybe they will scatter or attack you. You’re going to block the approaching little archer? Are you alone?”
damn it I hadn’t even thought of it.
Except for Il-il, he did not reveal his true identity to the warriors of Dongcheon.
By now, everyone would have felt the seonki of the Taoist family, which is in conflict with the Magi, and since Samado even talked about it, it was clear that they knew it was a shaman.
what the hell
In the current situation, if you say you’ve been deceived and even rebel…
“Lord of the Federation.”
“…”
When Jinmu was seriously troubled and did not answer, Neung Seo-hyeon came to the side.
“What about those who surrender?”
“…uh?”
don’t ask
He might have noticed the martial arts of the Seongi shaman in his body the earliest.
“If you tell us, we will take care of it.”
“Ah that… um.”
Jinmu hesitated for a moment, then sighed and asked.
“Are you okay?”
“…yes?”
“That… Shaman… Sapae…”
“…?”
Seohyeon Neung smiled, probably because Jinmu stuttering in an unusual way was cute.
“Federation Lord.”
“uh?”
“I knew that.”
“what?”
“Did you know that I couldn’t even recognize the martial arts of Hyeokryeonmugang, who was a sapaecheonju?”
“…Ah, did you know?”
“Sounds natural. I just didn’t ask because you wouldn’t tell me.”
“…”
“Not only me, but the puppets would have known as well.”
damn i know I know everything.
I was the only one who thought it was a secret.
Jinmu asked again with a disappointed face.
“okay? But are you okay?”
“What’s the problem?”
“….”
“The Lord of the Federation is the one who stood tall in the Demonic Cult alone without anyone’s help. He is a person who fits the law of self-respect more than anyone else.”
“Still, the Taoist… it’s at odds with the Magi…”
“That’s not a problem either. It was because there were several times in long history that a foreigner challenged the throne of the Demonic Cult. I, the puppets, and the warriors of the Demonic Cult have already turned their backs on the Buk-ri cult leader and Cheonsan and have devoted their allegiance to the Federation Lord.”
“….”
“Also, from the political faction Murim of Sapaecheon Jungwon to the Makyo… We just want to follow the footsteps of the Federation Lord who is walking towards the summit of Jeongsama.”
Seeing Neung Seo-hyeon bowing her head politely, Jinmu, who had become embarrassed, smiled awkwardly.
Neung Seo-hyun is such a cool guy.
I was sorry then.
I didn’t know your sincerity and tried to drop it because it was annoying.
From now on, you will be my faithful subordinate, number 10… is that right? The order is…
“Federation Lord.”
“huh?”
Seohyeon Neung asked again at Jinmu, who was folding his fingers one by one to see if he was wrong.
“What to do with those who surrender?”
“Well, I have to kill you.”
As if there was nothing to worry about, the soldiers of the Mook Sword Corps, who were kneeling on their knees, raised their heads in unison.
“Please save me! We surrendered.”
“…”
A cry burst out urgently.
Jinmu, who was counting again, turned his head and looked at the soldier at the swordsman who spat out the words, and then trudged closer.
Wow!
Jinmu, who grabbed him by the collar, smiled coldly.
“This kid is ridiculously funny. surrender? Who accepted it?”
“Ah no that…”
“What’s the difference between a beast’s dog and a beast?”
“…”
“You guys knew it too. That the grassroots and innocent children you kidnapped will become food for the beasts.”
“That’s it.”
“None of you thought to save me in the first place. Because this place was your nest, not a trap.”
Jinmu let go of his collar and stood up as if he had been beaten up.
“Kill. all.”
Their fate was decided by two cold words as they turned their bodies around, and the tattooed demon of Seohyun Neung hung thickly over their heads as they made a devastated expression.
The first battle of beast hunting is over.
All that was left was the condemnation of the beast that came to my place of death.
“Hwangsin!”
“Yes, Lord.”
“What about the rest of the unmanned?”
“It will be reached in one day.”
“Haru… ok. Throw the dead in their path. We go to Samdongcheon Castle, join everyone, and wait for the enemy.”
“yes!”
The warriors of the canyon hurriedly collected the body.
To leave as a gift and a warning to the enemy…
* * *
Caw caw.
Woo woo!
Flocks of crows and hungry wolves that filled the fields let out wary cries at those who invaded their territory.
The horse in the lead stopped, and the old man on horseback, Shang Ping, raised his hand to halt the line.
“Check.”
As the soldiers rushed out as if they had been waiting for instructions full of displeasure, a flock of crows soared all at once, filling the sky, and a flock of wolves scattered across the field.
A few of the leaders frowned as they witnessed the view hidden by the flock of crows.
Numerous corpses lined up in a field.
It was a black sword.
All of the sword blades were turned into corpses to greet him.
The person who was searching for the gap picked up a corpse and hurriedly ran toward Sanggangpyeong.
Shang Ping’s eyes trembled slightly as he saw his figure becoming clearer as he got closer.
Muk Sword Samado.
The military commander who reigned supreme under the command of Lee Gung-ju and No Guk-tae died.
What kind of guy are you?
Did Samdongcheon have the power to annihilate the Mukgeomdae?
It would be difficult without Cheonsan moving
.
What happened to Noh Guk-tae, who made the vassals of Jungwon pursue him?
“Lee Goongju? Wasn’t there Lee Gung-ju’s body?”
“yes!”
“…”
Without a body, life and death become unclear.
Are you worrying for nothing?
In fact, only Bukri Docheon in the current Demonic Cult can kill Lee Gungju, who is higher than the name of the Sorcerer Six.
There is no way he would have stepped forward, so there is no way that Noh Guk-tae would have died.
Who in this Demonic Cult could stand up to his raging burial technique?
But a deep sense of uneasiness crept in.
No Guk-tae, along with Song Yeo-bang, are close friends of Sang-pyeong.
Although the route may be different, I have never wished for his death.
“Surprisingly. Samado is dead.”
“….”
The identity of Han Seung with a calm voice approached.
Through the suction, the demonic energy that had been seeping through to the bone marrow had now gone crazy, and the whites of the eyes had turned black, and the demonic energy that normally flowed out was uncontrollable.
“What are you worrying about?”
“….”
“Aren’t they all tools to make me the ruler of the midfield anyway? Are you really trying to commemorate their deaths now?”
Shang Ping’s face hardened at the words of Han Seung, who did not care about the death of his subordinates.
“I am looking forward to it again. It’s a warrior strong enough to kill Samado… I’m already excited.”
“…”
Hanseung brushed his lips with his tongue, his black eyes shining.
“Hurry up. Isn’t it Samdongcheon soon?”
“yes.”
yes i have to go
Whoever kills Samado will release the beast there.
Everyone will become food for the beasts.
Leaving behind the sadness of not being able to recover even the dead body, let alone condolences, Sang Sang-pyeong raised his hand toward the ranks.
“depart!”
At his roaring cry, the standing ranks stepped forward in unison and shook the ground.
And again, a flock of crows and wolves rushed to claim the flesh of the corpse.
* * *
“God!”
Hwangsin jumped as if flying and opened the door of the palace.
Jinmu, who had been listening to the story of the shaman unraveling the two affairs for a long time, turned his head and scolded him.
“What are you fussing about? Can’t you see we’re talking?”
The conversation is just playing with memories in this urgent situation where a war might break out right away.
However, Hwangshin, who had nothing to touch Jinmu’s nerves for no reason, spoke cautiously.
“A telegraph has arrived from the watchers at the outpost.”
“…?”
“The size of the enemy is said to be moving straight towards the main body of Samdongcheon beyond the road where the 2,000 bodies were left.”
“Looks like you’re finally here. What time do you arrive?”
“Given the speed of their movement, it is expected to be half a day.”
“Half a day…”
The place where they laid the corpse of the sword sword was about 50 li away from the main town.
Even if a low-level soldier who had trained in light air to some extent came running, it was a distance that could be reached in half a second.
But it comes at a rate that would take half a day?
It means to look around and come back as if you are slowly wandering around.
“Crazy bastards. Why are bastards coming to war so relaxed?”
Bum does his best even when he catches a rabbit.
Anyway, it was good that the enemy came late. It means there is plenty of time to prepare on this side.
“Anyway, it’s not when we’re having a conversation. Tell the leaders of each Dongcheon to gather.”
“yes!”
At Jinmu’s command, Hwangsin hurriedly ran outside.
“It is coming.”
“okay.”
The blue statue, who pursued him for a long time and came to the Demonic School, hardened his face.
“Let’s listen to the unfinished story of Ohryonggung again after the fight.”
“yes. Sasuk.”
When Jinmu arose, Cheongsang and Cheongwoo followed.
The guy came close.
The unworthy beast who made himself so angry after returning to the world.
yes come on
I’ll chew out all the teeth that ate the kids.
