Episode 723. I want the story to end.
In fact, Perpetua, the commander of the Eastern Army, had a preconceived notion of the Grand Master under the enemy.
It was because of the report of Patir, the vice-commander of the Eastern Army who went to the advance party.
In the eyes of the second-in-command Fatir, the Grand Master Yeonjeokha was extremely arrogant and rude.
His character evaluation influenced Perpetua, the commander of the Eastern Army.
The commander of the eastern army, Perpetua, did not like the great master who showed such an attitude in front of Patir, who was an Elyos and was the second-in-command of the eastern army. Then, since I met Grand Master, there was no way I could say anything nice.
The meeting room went silent for an instant at Perpetua’s harsh reaction, commander of the Eastern Army.
The Expeditionary Forces Commander-in-Chief Gelatum looked at the Grand Master with an interesting face.
Such a response was not what he ordered from the commander of the Eastern Army.
But not bad.
Although the atmosphere was cold, it was also a necessary process to tame the sect.
but it’s weird
The Grand Master did not show interest as if it were someone else’s story.
The Gokbunjo union made an excuse to Perpetua, the commander of the Eastern Army, sweating profusely.
“I heard that you arrived in Sangdo last night. However, I didn’t come because I didn’t want to disturb my rest. We tried to be considerate of others so that they could rest in peace, but that was the case. If I had known you were waiting, I would have come to see you even if it was late. Please be merciful with a broad heart.”
It is not the commander of the Eastern Army who will be angry with the union as an excuse.
Eastern Army commander Perpetua frowned.
“Are you the representative of the sect?”
“It is not. But…”
“If you are not the representative of the sect, don’t step forward. This is not a place for unions.”
“….”
The grain division union backed away with a grim face.
In fact, as he said, the union was not in a position to step forward.
Perpetua, commander of the Eastern Army, looked at the Grand Master with disapproval.
However, the great master still looked around as if he were a third party, but did not engage in conversation.
The moment Perpetua, the commander of the Eastern Army, who could not stand it, was about to curse, Bellsonia, the chief of staff, stepped up.
“Perpetua.”
“Something?”
Perpetua, commander of the Eastern Army, looked at Belsonia who intervened unwittingly with resentful eyes.
Bellsonia said in a firm tone.
“Now that I know why Jongmoon greeted you late, I want you to stop talking about it. I think there should be a more practical discussion than that, so can I proceed?”
Eastern Army Commander Perpetua looked at Bellsonia with bewildered eyes.
Knowing that he was doing this, it was for Bellsonia’s sake.
But do you want me to stop?
He felt something strange and looked at Bellsonia again.
Is she shaking her head as if to stop?
Eastern Army Commander Perpetua is not a foolish Elyos.
There must have been a good reason for Bellsonia’s actions, the chief of staff.
He shrugged and fell back.
“Thank you for your understanding. Now that the heavens and the clans have gathered together, let’s ask each other questions about the war. Are you all right?”
Bellsonia alternately looked at Gelatum, the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, and the great servant.
The Expeditionary Forces Commander-in-Chief, Gelatum, felt somewhat languid, but nodded.
Because taming can be done at any time.
Yeonjeokha also shook his head.
Miwoo and Gowoo were comrades who had to fight together, so a minimum of communication was necessary.
“Since the Expeditionary Forces Commander-in-Chief and Grand Master have agreed, we will continue. First, let’s check what’s urgent. I mentioned surface warfare the other day. How many ships have you secured?”
Yeon Jeok-ha sent a chin to the grain-making union.
Then, the gokbunjo union, which had been paying attention, responded cautiously.
“To date, there are 15 large wooden ships, 20 medium-sized wooden ships, and 9 steel ships. We are continuing to requisition ships, but more than 10 ships will be difficult in the future.”
Bellsonia quickly shook her head.
One large wooden boat has a capacity of 1,000 people, so 15 boats can carry 15,000 people.
In the case of medium-sized wooden ships and steel ships, the capacity is 300 people each, so the number of people on board is 8,700.
If you add up all those numbers, the number of people who can board is 23,700.
Thirty thousand troops of the heavenly realm, two thousand sects, thirty-two thousand in all.
Of these, 23,700 must embark, and 8,300 must remain in port.
‘To think that 8,300 people had to be left behind…’
Considering the power of the mighty Macheon, it was regrettable, but there was no other way to point it out.
“You are very hungry. Are all ten ships to be requisitioned large?”
Bellsonia looked at the grain-making union with complicated eyes.
All of them were large enough to carry the remaining 8,300 people.
“no. This is a combination of both large and medium. All the rest go to other areas and cannot be requisitioned.”
“A different region?”
“Some boats went to Hwangcheonju or Wansanju, but most of them fled to Muryangha as soon as they heard the news of Macheon’s invasion.”
If Baek Ri-ha cut Gu-ju vertically, the infinity stretched horizontally. So it was like pulling the boat and running as far back as possible.
A bitter smile appeared on Bellsonia’s face.
If the ship had already left Hansanju, further requisition was impossible.
In the end, it seems that 8,300 people will have to be returned to the reserve.
She explained to Grand Master Yeon Jeok-ha the realities faced by the allied forces of the heavenly world and religious sects.
“…so 8,300 must remain in the port as a reserve. What are you going to do with Jongmoon? Would you like to stay at Okcheon Port as a reserve? Or would you like to participate in the water war?”
“Of course I have to go to war.”
I didn’t hesitate to do it.
Participating in the battle was natural for Yeon Jeok-ha, who wanted a quick settlement.
Most of the questions were asked by Bellsonia, the General Staff, who had to set up the strategy.
The questions that had been going on for half an hour (an hour) became rarer.
The masters of the sect did not ask anything, as if they had promised.
It was difficult for the Elyos to deal with, but it was because the clan had a very small proportion in the war against Macheon.
In fact, compared to the 30,000 elite troops of the Elyos, the sect’s 2,000 were truly insignificant.
Even so, Bellsonia, the general staff of the Elyos, treated her politely from beginning to end.
Bellsonia asked the Grand Master.
“Do you have any questions?”
“yes.”
Bellsonia nodded her head with a somewhat regretful face at the Grand Master’s answer.
“I will deploy and deploy troops in preparation for surface warfare. Do you have any objections?”
“Not at all.”
Bell Sonia laughed involuntarily at the grand master’s cool answer.
“I will forward the ship that Grand Master will board as you wish. Commander-in-Chief, do you have any other questions or comments?”
The Expeditionary Forces Commander-in-Chief Gelatum, who was watching the story of Bellsonia, the General Staff, and Grand Master, said with a smile.
“does not exist. The General Staff inspected it so meticulously that I felt like I saw it with my own eyes. By the way, is the coordination with Gwangmyeongjincheon-nim over?”
“Gwangmyeongjincheon-nim entrusted me with this.”
“ah!”
Expeditionary Forces Commander-in-Chief Gelatum nodded with a somewhat exaggerated gesture.
But deep inside, I wondered.
Gwangmyeongjincheon is famous among the Elyos for asserting its authority.
After ascending to the throne, it got worse, and I had to ask for permission for even the smallest thing.
I couldn’t believe that he entrusted it to Bellsonia.
Especially considering Bellsonia’s young age.
In any case, the unplanned meeting between the Elyos and the Clan was over.
After the clan returned, the Elyos leadership held a separate meeting.
All of the Elyos command staff looked at Bellsonia with an expression possessed by the goblin.
It was hard to understand why everyone was so actively circling around the school, as well as getting the full consent of Gwangmyeongjincheon.
Sensing the atmosphere in the command center, Bellsonia was the first to get lucky.
“There are a lot of expressions that I am curious about. If you have any unanswered questions, please feel free to ask. I will explain to the best of my knowledge.”
Then, as if he had been waiting, Perpetua, commander of the Eastern Army, asked.
“I tried to get the Grand Master’s apology, but you cut it off. Earlier, I didn’t mention it in consideration of the face of the General Staff. Why?”
Bellsonia spoke alternately between Eastern Commander Perpetua and Commander-in-Chief Gelatum.
“You probably know that I went to Okcheon Port as the first team. There, I met Master Gwangmyeongjin and Grand Master…”
Bell Sonia confided without hesitation about the incongruity she and the advance party felt between the two.
“…If Daejongsa was a lion in the meadow, Gwangmyeongjincheon was as quiet as a lamb. It seemed that the positions of Grand Master and Master Gwangmyeong Jin-cheon were reversed. I can’t believe it, but I came to the conclusion that there was something wrong with Jincheon-nim Gwangmyeong and that it was related to the Grand Master.”
“Nonsense! Gwangmyeongjincheon-nim is the ‘god of three thousand’! Let’s just say he’s the supreme god. However, the Grand Master has not yet ascended to the throne, although I have been closely examining him. At best, it’s only half-god. isn’t it? Commander-in-Chief?”
Commander-in-Chief Gelatum nodded at Perpetua’s question, commander of the Eastern Army.
Certainly, in his eyes, the Grand Master was only a half-god.
Then the commander of the Eastern Army, Perpetua, continued.
“Of course, it is true that achievements at that age are astounding, but they do not even reach the tip of the highest god. Gwangmyeongjincheon-nim is originally good at unusual behavior. I don’t understand that, and I have to put down the prestige of not only Gwangmyeong Jincheon-nim, but also our Elyos to use it?”
“Has there ever been a case where you put up with the other person’s rudeness for that unusual behavior?”
Perpetua, commander of the Eastern Army, could not answer Bellsonia’s question.
Gwangmyeongjincheon was the personification of authority and hated rudeness.
Losing a limb after saying something rude in front of him was a common occurrence. There was even an Elyos who lost his life after touching Gwangmyeongjincheon’s stomach.
When Eastern Army Commander Perpetua hesitated, Bellsonia’s lips went up.
“Kwangmyeong Jincheon-nim came to the meeting before the Grand Master and was waiting. The heads of the sect also respected the great master more than Gwangmyeong Jincheon. I showed it to the great master by bowing my head a hand’s breadth or deeper.”
“…”
The Elyos commanders held their breath and listened to Bellsonia’s words.
“I told the advance party to keep it a secret, but I have to tell you. I once had an argument with the centurion, Magnus, after the Grand Master called me ‘lady’ at an official meeting. Then Magnus was overpowered by one of the great masters. It all happened in front of Gwangmyeong Jincheon. Gwangmyeongjincheon-nim saw it, but he didn’t say a word.”
“Mmm!”
“Huh!”
“Tsk tsk!”
A variety of exclamations flowed from the mouths of the Elyos commanders.
If Belsonia’s words were true right before the war with the Demon God, it was a really serious problem.
However, some people accepted it as ‘something that happened because of a problem with Gwangmyeong Jincheon’s personal affairs’.
In other words, he thought that ‘Gwangmyeongjincheon took advantage of the weakening moment and acted arbitrarily’.
That was the case with Anatasio, commander of the Western Army.
“I heard you. By the way, did the Chief of Staff witness the Daejongsa fight with Gwangmyeongjincheonnim?”
“I didn’t see it.”
“If so, what is the possibility that Grand Master Kwangmyeong Jin-cheon knew about his physical condition and did so?”
“Well, I hadn’t even thought of that. Maybe.”
Bellsonia readily acknowledged it.
This is because the predictions of the commander of the Western Army were not at all impossible.
No, it was more persuasive than thinking that ‘Gwangmyeongjincheon was beaten by the Grand Master’.
The Elyos commanders split into two over Gwangmyeong Jincheon’s incomprehensible behavior.
Commander-in-Chief Gelatum, who had been listening silently, spoke.
“quiet. I will personally meet Jincheon Gwangmyeong and find out the reason. Until then, don’t talk about anything about Kwangmyeong Jincheon-nim and Grand Master.”
