Chapter 904:
The government army and police officers were armed with swords and crossbows at strategic points inside Cheongdo.
Since I had prepared so thoroughly, that alone gave me an incredible momentum.
The opponent is a monster that eats humans.
When I was a child, I always heard about things like monsters and ghosts through folk tales, but I have never heard of such beings really existing and eating people.
However, surprisingly, the civilians did not fall into a state of panic and were preparing individually.
Cheonwoo said.
“If you are a citizen of Gangho, you have the opportunity to experience blood death. “It’s the same whether it’s big or small, whether it happens in an alley or on the main street.”
There is no big difference whether the opponent is a black sword or a monster.
The only difference is whether or not they eat the flesh after killing it.
Isn’t it said that even in the United States, residents living in neighborhoods with poor security experience something similar to war PTSD?
Kangho is always in that situation.
Even before the Hua Empire came into existence.
This world has been like this since the time when an individual ran on water and tore rocks with his hands based on the Yin-Yang and the Five Elements.
Unless it is a place like Baeklin County where the security is extremely good, everyone has to live like this.
If you don’t like it, learn martial arts yourself.
Of course, even if you learn martial arts, unless you live in the middle of nowhere, you will eventually get caught up in the favor of a powerful person.
The civilians skillfully closed their doors and windows with wooden boards and hid somewhere with their families or headed to government offices.
Jin Cheon-hee used his authority to evacuate civilians to the government office.
However, some civilians who did not trust the government went to the places they trusted most.
‘hmm. okay. In a world like this, coffins aren’t very trustworthy.’
Even if the current emperor is ruling better than his predecessors, doesn’t he still remain impervious to official affairs unless he wants to kill Kang Ho-in?
In a time like this, not trusting anyone and trying to survive on your own can be a virtue in a way.
‘I wonder how weak modern people live in a world like this.’
Still, something survives.
Because I survive, I have children and farm.
‘Of course, it’s difficult, so it’s difficult for the average lifespan to exceed 30.’
The streets were empty, not a single ant baby in sight.
The powerful people and the government soldiers did not talk to each other like oil and water, but they still exchanged a few glances.
Even the strong poetry of Jinju.
No matter how partisan Kang Shi-sul is, no one shows disgust at the corpses running around.
Anyway, it looks like the jumping plump corpse is hoping to catch and kill at least one more monster fish.
When I told that story, Cheonwoo responded.
“During the investigation, the government officials also realized the seriousness of the mysterious fish. “I learned that the common people were real, not just addicted to opium and hallucinating.”
Isn’t it a dereliction of duty to not investigate even though there were so many reports?
Jin Cheon-hee gritted his teeth, thinking that these guys would later report this fact to the Emperor as inspectors.
Sima Hyun said.
“It’s scary. Those people too. “I have no choice but to come here because I’m a police officer, but what you don’t know is scarier than what you know, right?”
“huh.”
“Sea fog this thick seems to be rare even in this neighborhood.”
Cheonwoo nodded.
“When a person encounters Sima Oedo, he becomes unable to care about anything else. “That in itself is scary.”
Sima Oedo.
Jin Cheon-hee sees Cheon-woo.
Cheonwoo smiled slightly.
“are you okay. brother. “My hands and feet are warm now.”
It was Cheon-woo, whose hands and feet were as frozen as ice after witnessing Sima’s affair.
It was natural.
It was a malice like nothing Chunwoo had ever experienced before, and it was not something humans could do to humans.
Because that was the way non-humanity treats humans.
That malice, that madness.
It was not something a single human could endure.
In particular, Cheonwoo was a child who knew humans and their warmth, and Emperor Gwon.
‘He may seem indifferent, but he gave me a lot of love in his own way.’
Even though he treated his disciple in Kang Ho-in’s way, it cannot be denied that he loved Cheon-woo.
“Whether it is Biinwiedo or Simawiedo, there will be no more Simma. “What I just said was that I understand the feelings of the government and military… Don’t worry, brother.”
Jin Cheon-hee nods.
“More than that, how on earth are you holding up? “He’s a member of the National Assembly.”
“Is it because a job is a job? “Gory movies aren’t that scary.”
“…?”
Cheonwoo couldn’t understand what his brother was saying.
Only then does Jin Cheon-hee change her words again.
“As a member of the National Assembly, I see a lot of things I can and cannot see. Although blood death in Gangho may seem amazing, surprisingly, from the doctor’s perspective, the appearance of death is actually very similar. And lawmakers often see such deaths.”
After the bloodletting is over, the first people to run to are the doctors and undertakers.
That may be why Eon-kwon and Jin Cheon-hee of Jinju Eonga fit so well together.
Sima Hyeon slowly changes the topic.
“Now that I think about it, does Jinju even hold a funeral for youkai?”
“I don’t know. Is it possible to turn a monster fishman into a jiangshi in the first place?”
Jinju-eonga only makes hyangsi with the consent of the bereaved family or the person himself, but sometimes.
I heard that sometimes, evil enemies who commit inhuman acts use things without consent.
It means that since you committed that sin while alive, you must pay for it even if you have to die.
‘hmm. If Eongaju sees the Secret Dark Temple in the basement, he will probably try to turn all the monsters into gangsters.’
Isn’t that a sight you would only see in a black spot selling human meat?
They say sunspots don’t do that these days.
at that time.
One of the government soldiers said.
“Are clouds creeping in?”
I thought there was already a lot of sea fog in Cheongdo, but thicker sea fog was coming from afar.
They came from beyond the horizon, soaked the beach, and eventually began to devour houses one by one.
“It feels like I’m underwater.”
Sima Hyeon mutters.
No one could refute those words.
Water droplets continue to seep into my nostrils over and over again.
Everyone feels as if their entire body is filled with fog.
It wasn’t a solo dance. Just water.
Everyone sees the waves of sea fog that look like fish swimming in them.
That alone brings out the fundamental fear of humans.
The fur of government officials stands on end.
Gangho people grind their teeth and memorize the nine verses in their hearts.
Gugyeol was Kang Ho-in’s Koran.
When they’re happy, when they’re fighting, and even when they’re dying, strong people repeat their own story.
The structures that have been passed down through blood from generation to generation since the founding of the faction in the distant past.
Even if your body has completely mastered it and forgotten it, Geomro will follow.
I repeated the phrase in helpless fear.
at that time.
Weuuuuu–!
A sound that could never be imitated by the human vocal cord made all the moisture in the air vibrate.
A feeling that resonates even in the stomach of the person drinking that water.
Clap!
With the sound of falling water, something was coming up the shore.
It is not visible because of the sea fog.
Although I couldn’t see it, I could smell the unique fishy smell of the sea.
and.
How close is it?
Black remnants began to appear through the sea fog.
Human limbs hang. But it is much bigger than a human.
And the shape of the gills and the shape of the webbed feet.
Something with an appearance that could not be considered human approaches in a group.
“It’s a monster monster!”
“Jin was real!”
What the government officials saw were monster fish mixed race, or monster fish people who looked relatively similar to humans even though they were mutated.
Those who have completely shed their human form and donned proper armor have never been encountered.
The general gave an order as if to silence the screams.
“Shoot the crossbow!”
The government troops responded immediately to those words.
Apart from fear, their hands sharpen the crossbow.
Ride it!
That was the reason for their existence, as they had practiced it tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of times, and many of them had encountered the Sukshin tribe in person.
Humans did what they had learned even in the face of helpless fear.
After that, ordinary archers also started shooting arrows together.
Pibibi bibing!
The faces of some of the archers are stained with tears.
They groaned as they held back their fear.
“How can these beings exist?”
But it doesn’t stop pulling the bowstring.
Because there is family behind this.
Tens of thousands of feet fill the sky in an instant, tearing up the sea fog.
however.
“Damn… it’s shallow.”
As soon as Jin Cheon-hee finished speaking, the monster fish people started running.
The largest monsters lead the way with a body of more than ten ships.
An arrow gets stuck in its body, but it foams, stops the bleeding, and regenerates.
Then he swings a trident so huge that it looks like a siege weapon and stabs him.
Whoa!
Kwagwagwagwagwagwang!
In an instant, the front row disintegrates.
“Ugh! “What kind of strength is this!”
“Arrows don’t work at all!”
“Don’t back down! “Fight with a wooden fence!!!”
In an instant, the monster fish that emerged from the sea fog began to collide with the humans.
“Among the monsters, there are some who don’t wear armor?”
“huh. Considering them, they are commoners. They also conscripted people as if they were going to war. No… it might be meaningless to compare with people.”
I don’t know how long these people have been living.
It is said that stories about monster fish have been told in pictures even before the invention of writing.
However, even if he was a commoner-class monster, his power was strong.
Even if he were wearing ordinary clothes and only holding a trident, his power was so strong that ordinary soldiers would be instantly pushed away and stabbed to death by spears.
Kwagwagwagwagwang!
“Stop it! Stop them all!”
“There is a family behind this. “We must fight!”
If wires collide, then a melee ensues.
Jin Cheon-hee neutralizes the smell of the battlefield with a cigarette.
Phew –
my sense of being a detective comes back to me starting from my fingertips.
‘Actually, this is a ridiculous battle. ‘Because a single government army has to respond to an unknown enemy, and it also has to form a formation using people who have never worked together before.’
Not only is there no time to rehearse in advance.
It was not possible for each general to know the formation and move like when dealing with the Sukshin tribe.
‘I wish I could at least advance the Eight Jindo’s like I did back then… but it’s impossible.’
Some people may not know.
Most of the government troops gathered here know nothing more than basic formations.
The strong people… Even during this time, they are not listening.
He disgustingly didn’t listen when the Sukshin tribe attacked, and he also didn’t listen to Sima Oedo.
All Jin Cheon-hee can do is decide when to jump into a melee.
Jin Cheon-hee was able to decide that much.
‘Based on what I’ve learned so far, it’s a fight that should never be fought.’
However, in the life of a strategist, how many opportunities do you have to choose your own battlefield?
Still, what lies behind is a place to live.
The roots of family rice field memories.
Because it is a treasure that cannot be replaced by anything.
As soon as Jin Cheon-hee raised the flag, a loud voice filled with energy was heard.
“Carry out the Chilseong checkup!”
Although the head of the family ran away late at night, the head of the family calmly pursued him.
As lay disciples, they based their practice on the Chilseong swordsmanship they learned from the Shaman sect.
He unfolded the Chilseong Examination and began to fight against the monster fish people.
Terrible sea fog.
Humans fight back against fear.
A shout mixed with energy rings loudly through the sea fog.
“Open the gate of life—!”
