Novel Path of The Shaman Chapter 301

Episode 301

“The fire has gone up.”

Jinmu nodded at the report from Jeoksaeng and looked ahead.

and a really scary bastard.

Now it even gives me goosebumps.

Did you all expect this to happen?

It’s Seongdonggyeokseo’s strategy, let’s say that. It is probably a strategy that could have been fully predicted by Sapaecheon’s nature.

However, the strategy to infiltrate the assault team is truly amazing.

For that one plan of falling from the sky on a kite, even the movements of the enemies flowed according to his intention.

By measuring the distance and conducting several attacks to check internal movements, the enemy’s vigilance was raised to the fullest, and the timing of the attack was chosen to make the enemy brightly illuminate the surroundings.

It is unclear whether it was intentional or not, but that made Jeoksaeng’s plan more solid.

It was a huge mistake for them to start a fire to prevent the hiders from infiltrating.

If there is only darkness, the eyes can adapt and see things more clearly, but the eyes adapted to the light cannot easily see through the darkness.

The dry straw that burned in an instant lit up the surroundings of the castle as bright as daylight, pushing away the darkness and filling the sky with smoke rising.

“Looking at the welling fire that is not easily extinguished, it seems that there is a pile of firewood underneath. It will probably smoke all night.”

The wind direction is north wind.

It is a self-evident fact that if the fire burns all night, as time goes by, the smoke that rises will flow into the castle and cover the enemy’s head.

It was a perfect situation to infiltrate using a kite.

“An enemy.”

“yes?”

“If, by chance, you join the enemy, then we become enemies.”

“yes?”

“I will definitely kill you first.”

“…Yes?”

At Jinmu’s words, Jeoksaeng widened his eyes, then smiled.

“God, please don’t joke with that expression. I know it’s true.”

Seriously. I will kill you with all my might.

Whether Jeoksaeng laughed shyly or not, Jinmu glared at him as if renewing his promise.

“Keuheum… God, by now the original ark in charge of the South Gate should have started attacking.”

“I guess so.”

“Once we are ready, we will secure a place for the assault team to disembark in Sapaecheon Fortress and send a signal.”

“…?”

Inside Sapaecheon?

It looks like this sneaky guy is up to something else, but Jinmu just nodded without asking.

“Lord.”

“…?”

“Never overdo it. Never forget that God is not just a lofty warrior, but the master of the new Sapaecheon.”

The smile on Jinmu’s lips grows thicker at the repeated requests from Jeoksaeng.

“don’t worry.”

“…”

But perhaps the answer was not very trustworthy, Jeoksaeng glanced at Jinmu several times before getting on top of the horse.

“An enemy.”

“…?”

“Don’t go too deep.”

“All right.”

It was a serious tone, but I know that there is deep concern in it.

Was it such a good feeling to be someone’s concern?

“Then let’s begin.”

Jinmu nodded, and Jeoksaeng, with a determined expression, swung his horsewhip wildly and galloped out into the darkness.

After looking at the back for a moment, Jinmu turned his head to the back.

Hundreds of warriors dressed in the same black clothes.

Salmak Haomun Iron Blade.

It was a shock brigade made up of soldiers with the highest level of skill, excluding those of the leader level.

And with them the historians, each holding a large skein in his hand.

“Is everyone ready?”

“yes!”

“The victory or defeat of this battle is up to you.”

“…”

“Fly the kite.”

At his brief command, the assault team secured a rectangular black kite spread on the floor to their backs.

“let’s go!”

Jinmu takes the lead and runs quickly toward the nature of Sapaecheon, then jumps up vigorously.

Dig!

Then, as the assault team surged up at the same time, the historians pulled the skein with all their might.

Poon!

As the kite rises into the sky with the full wind, the thread of the skein is pulled tight as if it is about to break.

When the string that had endured to the limit made a tinking sound, the chief of historians shouted.

“Release!”

Chara la la la!

The skein turns quickly and the thread unwinds.

A flock of kites riding the wind flow escaped the bright space and disappeared toward the sky full of darkness.

* * *

“What is that?”

The head of the bastion at the top of the north gate, Go Gyeom, focused his gaze on a group of people running from a gloomy place.

“These are the warriors of the Greening Sink of the Metallurgical Party.”

“…”

Kogyeom’s face twisted into a stern look at the report from his subordinate.

Why do they come in from outside?

And why did he, the head of the castle gate bastion, not know about it?

Go-gyeom, who had reached the peak of irritation, shouted harshly at those who had crossed the boundary between darkness and light created by burning straw.

“Who are you!”

“grow! This is Jeong Mok-rip, the master of metallurgy!”

“Princess Jeong? No, Daechaejunim and the general voters of Green Forest? How did you go outside during the war? Aren’t you going to tell me?”

Mok-rip Jeong raises his head, and Go-gyeom, who recognizes the leaders of the two factions, looks at them incredulously.

At first glance, it looked like they were being chased, and even the sound of a chasing party running after them could be heard.

“I’ll explain that later! Come on, open the door!”

“…”

Kogyeom frowned and pondered.

Aren’t you suspicious?

They are the ones who came from the enemy side during the battle.

On the high walls, it was not even confirmed whether they were real or whether the rebels were camouflaged by reverse tactics.

“But how can we believe that he is the real Dangju?”

“…what?”

“How can you open the city gates in a situation that might be a rebel camouflage?”

“Such a dog…”

Go-gyeom’s words distort Jung Mok-rip’s face.

They were the ones who had no choice but to run away through the North Gate even though Yu Yue-cheong was in a situation where they might kill themselves.

Even if he was later questioned, surviving was the most important thing.

“Gogyeom! can’t you recognize me? I am Joo Chun-geol.”

“I already recognized the face. But you can’t open the door when it might be an enemy in disguise.”

“…”

Joo Chun-geol, whose urgency reached its peak at Go-gyeom’s determined attitude, raised his knife without hesitation and cut my cheek.

Do you think it’s a big deal to add a scar to your already stern face?

Anyway, Go-gyeom was startled when blood flowed from the cut.

“Look! I’ve played the role, but it’s going to bleed…”

Pi-yung!

At that moment, the sound of a hole breaking through the darkness was heard.

“ぅ!”

An arrow pierced the neck of Joo Cheon-geol, who stepped forward to persuade Go-gyeom, and pierced the gate with a pop.

“A fire arrow?”

It was unexpected that Ju Chun-geol, the ruler of the green forest, would be hit by an arrow.

but they couldn’t know

The one who shot the arrow was none other than Daegung. As the leader of the Eunwidan, his archery skill, which is a state of spirit, was so high that it was acknowledged by Jinmu.

“The total vote! What the fuck!”

A single arrow cut off the life of the ruler of Green Forest.

The wide-open eyes of Jeong Mok-rip, who hastily turned his head at the sight of Zhu Chun-geol, shows the archers of the Daegung and Hao-mun chasing after them and pulling a protest.

Pee Peep! Papapak!

As the arrow flew straight and got close enough to pierce the surroundings, Jeong Mok-rip exclaimed with a drawn face.

He didn’t even care about Joo Chun-geol’s death anymore. Who cares about who when my life is at stake?

“Go Go Gyeom! door! I mean open the door! Can’t you see that Chun-geol is dead?”

At the cry of Jeong Mok-rip, who became contemplative, Go-gyeom panicked, not knowing what to do.

“Hey! open it at once! That means everyone dies! As long as I live, I’ll take off the bottom line from the metallurgical party and make you feel good and rich for the rest of your life! hurry! Open the door, please!”

“…”

Go-gyeom, who witnessed the death of Joo Cheon-geol in addition to Jeong Mok-rip’s begging, ordered his subordinate.

“Damn it, open the door. Archers shoot arrows! Don’t let the pursuers come any further!”

ping! Pipipiping!

At Gogyeom’s command, the archers waiting on the wall fired arrows at once.

Papa papak!

The pursuers fled back to avoid the arrows flying from the wall, and in the meantime, Jeong Mok-rip and the surviving soldiers quickly jumped into the fortress through the open gate.

“Heo-eok, hee-eok…”

Jung Mok-rip, who had finally been safely secured, sat down on the ground breathing heavily.

Looking around, there were not even ten people who survived.

Go-gyeom, who confirmed that Mok-rip Jeong and others were sitting on the wall, hurriedly turned his gaze outside.

In the place where the pursuers retreated, new characters took their place.

But the arrow didn’t come any further, probably because it was effective.

However, the atmosphere was quite different from the previous small battles.

Soldiers of the rebellion line up in a dark place and fill the front of the North Gate.

And behind that, a large number of unmanned people piled up in layers.

Go-gyeom’s face frowned.

The number of those shrouded in darkness could not be accurately counted.

It was said that the enemies had camped at the south gate, but the number was so large that it made me mistakenly thinking that they had all come to the north gate.

“The south gate?”

When Kogyeom turned his head in doubt, he heard a commotion from the far south gate, as if a battle had already taken place.

The warriors in the castle were already moving towards it, and some warriors from the west gate were also moving towards the south gate.

“Damn… how much did you collect?”

However, there was no time to worry about the South Gate.

Now is the time to focus on the enemy in front of you.

“Chief. It looks like they launched an all-out offensive towards the castle gate.”

“hmm.”

Kogyeom nodded at Subha’s words. With that number, there was little chance that they would have gone elsewhere.

“Call the east gate and tell them to rush reinforcements toward the north gate leaving only a part of the guards, and build an additional embankment behind the north gate and activate the engine. As long as we know that they are aiming for the gate, we will concentrate all available forces on defense!”

“yes. Captain.”

The subordinate moves quickly.

However, the enemies lined up in front of the North Gate stopped moving as if nailed to the spot.

Go-gyeom, who couldn’t figure out what they were aiming for, once again ordered the archer.

“For now, I threaten them. Archers, get ready!”

Chii profit!

At Gogyeom’s command, the archers on the fortress wall tightened their grip on the strings and pulled.

“distance! Fifty sheets!”

The bows in the hands of the warriors were raised all at once upwards.

“launch!”

Pipipiping!

The protests are laid and the arrows dye the sky black.

Normally, warriors rarely use bows, but Sapaecheon was different.

Having defended the castle at the center of the political faction for a long time, they gathered warriors with weak martial arts and trained them professionally to defend the four gates.

* * *

“Musketeers!”

Daegung hurriedly shouted at the sight of arrows flying, and Jeoksaeng, who had arrived at the front of the ranks, nodded and raised his black wings high.

“shield!”

Chuck Chuck Chuck!

In an instant, the soldiers in the ranks took out the shields on their backs and built a solid defense.

puck! Pupper puck puck!

Countless arrows.

“Kuk!”

“Ugh!”

The groans of warriors shot in the arms and legs could be heard from everywhere, but no one collapsed.

“Wow!”

The warriors who blocked the first arrow lowered their shields and shouted.

“Sir, the first attack is over.”

“What about the damage?”

“It is a minor injury.”

“great. wait a little longer Alternate the first row with the second row to get the wounded back and begin treatment.”

“yes!”

At Jeoksaeng’s words, Daegung, who had learned the strategy in advance, nodded.

The battles that took place in Sapaecheon’s main castle were different from those that took place in Murim.

Siege and sit-in itself are military strategies.

As long as he chose such a tactic, Jeok-saeng was able to occupy an advantageous position.

This is because he was once a bachelor of science and a competent strategist who served in the military.

siege?

I’ve already tried that kind of thing countless times. In this case, a ranged attack to reduce the enemy’s strength is a natural step.

But I don’t care.

It’s not a crossbow of a military gate that pierces even the horse, it’s just an arrow.

All you have to do is block it with a shield.

What mattered was the fact that they brought prisoners inside.

Now all you have to do is wait.

Until a signal comes from inside Sapaecheon Nature.
