Episode 314
Luoyang, Henan Province.
A war cloud that had never been seen before was hanging over the city that was famous as the holy city of the political faction Murim.
Thousands of warriors were fighting on top of the 10-foot-high wall built in the center of Luoyang.
Before the inside of the wall, they were troops to protect Jeonggeommaengseong, which was called Murimmaengseong.
They glared at the enemies facing them with obvious murderous intent.
Waving the flag of Baekun, the troops led by Do Jin-wu arrived at Lukyang before they knew it.
It was a speed of progress that could only be described as beyond common sense.
The forces of the other two camps, led by Sinui and Gwimyeonrang, had not yet joined.
All of this was made possible thanks to Yoo Il-rang.
Yuilang, who defeated Hyeonhak Dojo, did not leave the front line of the battlefield.
He lost his commander and slashed all the elders of the Volcano Squad in confusion, then attacked the Volcano Squad alone and burned all the palaces.
Jeong Geom-maeng’s defensive power, which had been hit in layers by Yoo Il-rang’s unstoppable charge, was shattered and kicked out without a proper counterattack.
Baek Woon-se, who succeeded in breaking through, seemed to be skyrocketing in morale, but Do Jin-woo’s expression was not so bright.
In the barracks where all the command staff were gathered, Noh Dae-woong spoke in a worried voice.
“… … Something is strange. Why did the Damcheon army, which shook the battlefield so much in the early stages of the war, suddenly disappear?”
Do Jin-woo swallowed his saliva without answering Noh Dae-woong’s words.
There was a reason why Do Jin-woo was not actively siege and was looking at the war situation.
It was because the sword emperor Damcheon-gun, who was the leader of the Jeonggeommaeng and the undisputed leader of the stronghold, disappeared from time to time.
‘The family lord told me to do my best until I know the guy’s intentions. If I try to attack it rashly, I could see a big disappointment.’
As Do Jin-woo was lost in thought, Tae-il, who was by his side, cautiously spoke.
“According to Hao Mun’s information, those who quietly escaped from the Jeong Sword Meng appeared at the imperial palace… … .”
“I am anxious. What on earth did he take in the imperial palace… … .”
Noh Dae-woong let out a deep sigh and said.
“Let’s wait a little longer. If the head of the family arrives soon, the tide will surely turn in our direction… … .”
It was at that time when Do Jin-woo, who was looking at the subdued atmosphere, opened his mouth.
floating! floating!
Wow!
Suddenly, the sound of electric drums started to resonate loudly outside the barracks.
In an instant, the faces of the three people hardened coldly.
‘Damcheon-gun has appeared!’
It was because the sound of this electric drum was none other than the sound of a drum announcing the appearance of an enemy general.
Everyone rushed out of the barracks.
Then, the tightly closed gates opened, and a group of people emerged from within.
The Jeonggeomblin’s direct bodyguards, the Jeonggeomwi, who are wearing white uniforms, and the mysterious beings who are hiding their faces in black robes and masks.
Do Jin-woo and Tae-il’s faces hardened coldly as they watched those who were hiding in black clothes.
‘I can feel the aura of Buddhism.’
‘When I think of Master being used… … .’
They could easily recognize the identities of the people in black who had no sense of vitality.
The guardians of Shaolin Temple, the Four Great Diamonds, the Eighteen Arhats, and the Six Mangseon.
The time when the two of them drool over the misery.
At the open castle gate, one last man appeared with an overwhelming presence.
Suaaa!
Quagga!
“Huh!”
“Keugh!”
It was Damcheon-gun, the leader of the Jeonggeombong, who exudes an overwhelming energy that makes bets shaken just by eye contact.
Damcheon-gun’s eyes, which were always gentle and warm during the Moorim-Maeng days, now had only a coldness that did not show any emotion.
Thousands of troops were pointed at the tip of the blade, but Damcheon-gun did not feel the slightest fear.
Sureureung!
Damcheon-gun quietly pulled out his favorite sword, Chongunsin Sword.
Whoops!
Suaaa!
The moment he drew his sword, Damcheon’s bets began to cover the surroundings like a rough wave.
The bets pouring out of the Chongunshingeom made everyone’s hearts beat like crazy.
The Chongunsingom, which was called the supreme holy sword that no weapon could reach, was pouring out vicious killing blows to kill the enemies.
“Keugh!”
“Cool!”
Baekwoon-sae poured out moaning from the fallen warriors of the camp.
Some were vomiting blood.
At that moment, Yuilang lightly slammed his sword on the ground.
Chuck!
cooong! Ugh!
As the wind wave emitted from Yuilang spread throughout the camp, the struggling warriors felt that the unknown power that had been bothering them had disappeared.
The eyes of Damcheon-gun, who watched the scene, were filled with strangeness.
‘There was one more person besides Shinwoon Yoo.’
However, Damcheon-gun’s reaction was the end.
He judged that the point at which the opponent’s potential resisted his energy was the end.
He thought that no enemy could defeat him who had risen to a new level.
Damcheongun took a step forward and opened his closed mouth.
“Listen, weightlifters.”
Damcheon-gun was talking quietly, but everyone, including Do Jin-woo, focused their bets to protect their ears.
It was because Damcheon-gun’s voice contained destructive power beyond the lion’s roar.
“It’s not enough to appoint a fake emperor, but I will make you wash away the sins of the leader Shin-woon Yu, who committed all sorts of evil acts, such as massacring civilians for personal gain, with your deaths today.”
“Who are you trying to place your sins on? Aren’t you afraid of the sky, Damcheon-gun!”
Do Jin-woo gnashed his teeth and shouted at Damcheon-gun’s absurd words.
Then, Damcheon-gun rolled up one corner of his mouth and smiled viciously.
“It’s so wicked that you’re trying to get away with it when there’s clear evidence.”
“… … evidence?”
Do Jin-woo could not hide his doubts about the sudden evidence.
When Damcheon-gun sent a glance, one of the members of the inspection committee moved inside the fortress wall.
‘What the hell are you trying to do!’
As Do Jin-woo glared at Damcheon-gun and tried to understand his heart, he gradually heard sobs from within the wall.
“Huh! Please save me.”
“Ugh please release this!”
“… … !”
“What is that!”
It was none other than the civilians of Nakyang who were led by the sword committee and the warriors.
More than a hundred civilians were being dragged out, blindfolded and shivering with fear.
– Vice-lord!
-The things on their bodies are definitely… … !
Tae-il and Noh Dae-woong were shocked and sent a telegram to Do Jin-woo.
‘How could you wear a human mask and do something like that… … !’
Cheeik!
The burnt smell was vibrating.
A long fuse was burning very little at the tip of the toes of the people.
It was.
The cause of the fear of the civilians was the explosive bombs that hung on their bodies.
It was only then that Do Jin-woo realized that Damcheon-gun went to the imperial palace to bring bombs confiscated by the imperial family.
“this guy! Isn’t the sky scary! What are you doing to innocent people!”
“Hey, did you think you didn’t know that you sneaked in these people to break down the wall?”
Do Jin-woo was at a loss for words at Damcheon-gun shouting loudly.
Looking at the scene, Damcheon-gun smiled eerily and went on.
“No matter how hard we try, the fuse hasn’t been extinguished, so we can’t hide our misery as we have a long way to go to save them.”
‘… … no way!’
The moment Do Jin-woo grasped Damcheon-gun’s intentions.
“Because I cannot act against humanity, I will send the civilians back to you. I beg you to rectify the terrible evil done to them.”
Damcheon-gun released the civilians and began pushing them one after another toward the camp of the Baekwoon family.
“Please save me!”
“Save us!”
The civilians, armed with explosive bombs, screamed as Baek Woon-se walked to the camp.
Baek Woon-se was at a loss as to what to do when he saw the fuse burning at the feet of the warriors in the camp.
I wanted to help them right away, but I couldn’t avoid death when the bomb exploded.
The same was true of the command team, including Do Jin-woo, who was in confusion.
-The sub-owners should not accept them. Everyone will explode the moment they reach our camp. If that many explosive bombs go off at the same time, the entire army will be wiped out without a trace!
When Noh Dae-woong spoke first, Tae-il presented a counterargument.
-Are you saying that we should just sacrifice the lives of the civilians? Subjuju, they were just being used by Damcheon-gun! It’s right to go to them quickly and separate the bomb shells at this time to worry!
– It’s not that they don’t know their pity, but everyone can’t die to save them!
Arguments ensued. Everyone’s words were valid, so it was not easy to come to a conclusion.
But even in the meantime, the civilians were approaching them, groaning in pain.
Damcheon-gun laughed inwardly as he saw Baekwoon’s encampment in confusion.
‘There’s no way you guys wearing the mask of the clunky faction can solve this ploy.’
Damcheon-gun, seeing the civilians slowly approaching the range of the great explosion, issued an order to the warriors of the disciplinary committee.
-If the enemies fall into confusion with the chain explosion, immediately charge the whole army and slaughter the enemies.
-Honorable name!
Just like that, the warriors of the Jeonggeommaeng were preparing for the massacre.
-… … We cannot abandon them like this. We will bring in a small number of rescuers to dismantle the blast bombs and rescue the civilians.
Do Jin-woo made a decision to rescue the people.
-Additional note!
-… … If you were the head of the household, you would have made this decision.
-… … !
Noh Dae-woong, who tried to dissuade him, couldn’t say anything more at Do Jin-woo’s words.
“Rescue the civilians!”
Pababat!
Soon after, when Do Jin-woo approached Yang-min first, other warriors began to move after him.
As the rescue team quickly approached the civilians, Damcheon-gun touched the ink-colored suit on his right arm.
‘You idiot! The moment you come closer, I’ll turn you to ashes!’
In fact, the burning fuse was only made for demonstration purposes.
It was his suit-style armor that caused a direct blast.
The moment Damcheon-gun was looking for an opportunity.
“Please save me!”
“It’s fine now. Please wait a moment.”
Do Jin-woo was the first to arrive at Yang-min.
Damcheon-gun, who saw this, energized the suit.
‘Die!’
Whoops!
Ugh!
Contaminated mana ran out of control in the suit.
‘This… … !’
Do Jin-woo’s complexion turned white as he swung his sword toward the fuse.
It was belatedly noticed that the explosive bombs tied to the bodies of the civilians were about to explode.
But that was then.
Wow!
Parbat!
Dozens of flashes flashed like lightning striking the battlefield.
Do Jin-woo was blinded by the speed beyond his perception.
‘what?’
Damcheon-gun could not hide his embarrassed expression.
It seemed that he alone, at least vaguely, identified the doll in the flash of light.
‘… … !’
When Damcheon-gun belatedly confirmed the civilians, his pupils shook as if an earthquake had struck.
The explosive bombs on their bodies had disappeared without a trace.
And beside the embarrassed Do Jin-woo.
“Are you cornered? Trying to win with something like this.”
Yoo Shin-woon, who had moved all the explosive bombs dismantled from the bodies of the civilians to a simple subspace, was revealed.
