Episode 753. I’ll tell you separately,
Woongchunju.
green water.
Entrance to the Northern Great Forest.
around noon.
About 700 Elyos warriors landed softly like wild geese on the field.
A unit under the direct control of Frita Uberto, commander of the Northern Army.
He sat down under the shade of a tree to avoid the scorching sun.
The commander of the Northern Army and the chief of staff approached him.
When he raised his head, Chief of Staff Quirianos pointed to the forest in front.
“That is the Great Forest in the northern part of Ungcheonju. It is the combined area of about three provinces, and it is called ‘Northern Great Forest’ in Ungcheonju. It is connected to the Geumsan Mountains and is a dangerous place infested with wild beasts. It’s not far from the north of Cheondokgok, so the Demon King will go there.”
“The combined area of three castles is huge, isn’t it?”
“That’s right. You can think of the northern part of Ungcheonju as almost ‘Northern Great Forest’.”
“Isn’t it difficult to find the demon lord if it’s that wide?”
“To enter the Geumsan Mountains from the Northern Great Forest, you have to pass through a place called Daesoo Village. If you are in Daesoo Village, the Demon King will come looking for you.”
“Daesuchon? Is there a town in such a dangerous place?”
“I don’t know if the village still exists, but according to the records, there is a village called Daesu Village.”
Yeon Jeok-ha shook his head as if he understood.
On the one hand, it was strange that people had settled down to such a place.
“Why did people settle in such dangerous places?”
“Maybe they are beast hunters or criminals.”
Deputy Chris added to the words of Chief of Staff Quirianos.
“They might be people who escaped the tyranny of the lord of the castle or the tyranny of the county.”
“Of course it is possible.”
Chief of Staff Quirianos did not deny it.
This is because Daesuchon only exists on record, not a place that he personally confirmed.
I turned my gaze to the growing Great Forest.
It was obscured by the thick trees, so I couldn’t see the inside of the forest.
Only the roar of an unknown beast could be heard intermittently from time to time.
Even though it was on the fringe of the Northern Great Forest, if that was the case, it would be worse inside.
He shook his head excitedly.
No matter how well people adapt, it seemed impossible in the Northern Great Forest.
***
After three days.
Northern Great Forest.
A group of Elyos flew over the trees of the Northern Great Forest.
A unit under the direct control of Frita Uberto, the commander of the Elyos Northern Army.
The Elyos leading them was the chief of staff of Quirianos.
The face of Chief of Staff Quirianos, who had been looking around without a break, darkened.
‘There should be Daesu Village somewhere here…’
The location of Daesu Village was already memorized in my head.
However, no matter how much I looked around, I couldn’t see anything that could be called a village.
Could the human village have been eaten up by the Great Forest?
As he pondered, he heard the beast’s wild roar in his ears.
If it were only that, it would have just passed by.
The cries of humans were mixed with the roar of the wild beast that howled without ceasing.
A human being in a great forest deep enough to see the Geumsan Mountains in the distance?
‘They are the people of Daesu Village!’
The chief of staff, Quirianos, who was running forward, turned toward the sound.
Before long, about 700 Elyos warriors followed him and changed direction.
“red! Throw a spear!”
“Die! Jum!”
“my! Tuan! Pull the rope!”
“I’m pulling!”
“Damn it!”
Three boys and one girl surrounded the huge red wolf and attacked it.
A rope was hung on each of the red wolf’s hind legs, and a man and a woman were holding the ends of the rope.
The face of Long, who was conducting, darkened.
It was a mistake that I should have put my hind legs in one noose, but I didn’t.
‘damn! Even if only the hind legs of the Blood Rang were tied together!’
If that were the case, Mai and Tuan would not have been dragged around like that.
While he thought for a moment, Blood Rang turned his head and bit the rope.
Mai’s lightweight body bounced up into the air at the head of the blood that followed.
Blood Rang soared up with a spear driven into his shoulder.
Belatedly, Long jumped to save Mai, but it was too late.
Before Long’s body could reach Mai, Blood Lang’s teeth attacked Mai.
“Ah!”
A sharp scream escaped Mai’s mouth.
“my!”
“damage!”
“no!”
Different words poured out of the mouths of the three men who foresaw a terrible end.
A sword flew from the forest just before Blood Rang’s teeth bit the woman’s body.
shhh- puck-!
With the head of the Black Blood Rang stuck, it continued to fly and was deeply embedded in a tree.
It’s like driving a huge bloodstream into a tree with a sword.
The three boys and one girl, who came to their senses belatedly, looked left and right with stiff faces.
They seemed as afraid of the intervention of an unknown entity as Hilrang.
Before long, the Elyos fell in front of them.
Seeing hundreds of Elyos, the faces of the three boys and one girl soon turned white.
Eventually, Long, the eldest member of the group, took a step closer to the Elyos and bowed.
“Thank you for saving me.”
Long did not dare to straighten his back, and only slightly lifted his face in a stooped state.
It was the same with other humans.
Like Long, they also lowered their backs and only slightly raised their heads to examine the complexion of the Elyos.
However, the reaction of the Elyos was a bit strange.
The Elyos who received the greeting looked away with embarrassed expressions.
The three boys and one girl only looked at each other and did not dare to straighten their backs.
A clear voice came to their ears.
“Stop standing straight. I have something to ask you, but your attitude makes it difficult to say.”
The eyes of the three men and one woman all turned to one place.
Among the Elyos, a young human was walking out.
The three boys and one girl regarded the young man as a guide to the Elyos.
So I would have said I had something to ask.
Looking at his eyes, Long quietly stood up and asked the young man.
“Did you say you had something to ask?”
“Yes, I am looking for a village called Daesoochon.”
“Daesuchon? Our village is a big water village, but why…”
Long’s face was wary.
Yeonjeokha said in a calm tone.
“The Demon King will pass through Daesoo Village to go to the Geumsan Mountains. We have come to subdue the Demon King.”
At the word Demon King, Long’s eyes widened.
“yes? Are you saying that the Demon King passes through Daesoo Village?”
“Did you know that the demon king invaded Ungcheonju?”
“I do not know.”
Long shook his head.
Daesu Village is located at the northernmost part of the Northern Great Forest, and has lived a life cut off from the outside world.
So, of course, it’s the first time I’ve heard of the devil’s invasion.
In fact, it has been more than ten years since he met other people besides the people of Daesu Village.
The Northern Great Forest was that wide.
“The demon king who had invaded Ungcheonju ran away from Cheondogok towards the Northern Great Forest. We’re trying to kill the demon king before he sneaks into the Golden Mountains. That is why we are looking for Daesoochon.”
Long’s face went white at the young man’s words.
Anyone who hears that the demon king is passing through their village will do that.
“In that case, I will guide you.”
Rong’s eyes were not on the young man, but on the Elyos standing behind him.
It’s because I don’t think it’s something to say to the guide.
The Elyos turned their heads with uncomfortable faces when a person from Daeshu Village skipped the Grand Master.
As soon as Quirianos, the chief of staff who was inferior, was about to introduce the Grand Master, Long spoke to his party.
“Did you hear? Since the demon king is heading to Daesu Village, the hunt ends here. I’ll collect the spilled items and return as soon as I’m ready. Hurry up.”
At his words, the man and woman scattered around to collect arrows and rope nets.
The preparations of the people of Daesu Village were completed in less than half an hour (about 7 minutes).
Long took the lead with his party.
Seven hundred Elyos troops followed quietly behind them.
At the invitation of Long, who mistook him for a road guide, he got mixed up with the people of Daeshu Village.
Long, who had been crossing the forest for a while, asked sneakily.
“How did you end up guiding the Elyos?”
“Ah, I am a disciple of the clan. The sects and the Elyos are fighting the demon king together.”
Surprised, Long hurriedly lowered his head.
“Oops! I didn’t know that you were a nobleman of the clan, and I was rude. I only thought he was the one giving directions.”
“are you okay. Maybe. Let’s go. If you make the Elyos wait, it will be a big problem.”
When Yeonjeokha raised the Elyos in his mouth, Long’s steps sped up again.
After learning that the young man was a disciple of the sect, Long did not open his mouth.
After crossing the forest for an hour (2 hours), I saw a path little by little through the dense trees.
The ocher-colored dirt road was wider and harder than the roads the animals walked on.
After walking along the path in the forest for another round (about 30 minutes), a tall wooden fence was revealed between the valleys.
A small smile appeared on Yeonjeokha’s lips as he watched the wooden fence between the valleys.
It is said that there are many similar things in the world, and the location and shape resembled those of Obong Sanchae.
After a while, when Long and his party reached the wooden fence, a middle-aged man’s head popped up on the wooden fence.
“Long? Who’s the person next to him you haven’t seen?”
“You are the disciple of the clan. open the door soon The Elyos army is coming behind us.”
The middle-aged man on the wooden fence only blinked as if he was surprised.
When he didn’t move, Long yelled.
“Bien! what are you doing Open the door!”
Vien’s head, which came to his senses belatedly, disappeared and the thick door of the wooden fence opened slowly.
Long forced a smile at Yeonjeokha and said it like an excuse.
“Originally, Daesu Village is rather wary of outsiders. Since we live only by ourselves…”
Yeonjeokha, who was shaking his head, looked around the pass and the young men and asked.
“Looks like you’re hunting blood. Did I get it right?”
“yes? In fact, I was not hunting, but I was fighting because I couldn’t avoid meeting blood.”
“Whether it’s hunting or fighting, it doesn’t matter. I know that Blood Rang is an iron-class monster, but he manages to fight well? From the iron level, I know it will be difficult if you are not a disciple of the clan.”
Long was taken aback by the younger enemy’s point.
It was because I didn’t know that the disciple of the clan would keep it in mind and ask.
As Long hesitated, the Elyos troops appeared one by one.
Seeing the Elyos troops, Long spoke hastily.
“I will talk about that part later. Please find me when you have time.”
“Okay then.”
He nodded his head with an indifferent face.
In fact, it didn’t matter how they were able to fight the iron beast.
Long said he had to inform the village chief and entered the fence with his party.
After a while, troops directly under the command of the Northern Army gathered in front of Daesu Village.
However, they did not enter the Great Water Village.
It was because the village was too small for all seven hundred Elyos troops to enter.
The unit under the direct control of the commander of the Northern Army decided to build a camp in the forest in front of Daesu Village.
“I will remain at the camp. Grand Master, would you like to go into Daesoo Village?”
He nodded his head in tandem with the question of Frita Uberto, the commander of the Northern Army.
It’s because people are less uncomfortable than Elyos to live with.
Eventually, it was time for the Yeonjeok River, which had parted ways with the Northern Army, to pass through the barrier in Daeshu Village.
Old people rushed out from inside.
