Episode 385 Janggi’s face looks like he drank alcohol and couldn’t eat a meal.
The eldest brother looked at the Golden Tiger Lord and the Silver Dragon Lord.
“Ho Daeju Yong Daeju.”
Their official names would have been Golden Tiger and Silver Dragon, but the way the eldest brother called them sounded like Master Zu was calling his former subordinates.
The two responded to the eldest brother’s words even while shaking.
“Please speak.”
“If you are defeated by Munju, the Geumhodae and Eunryongdae have been defeated, so lead your troops and retreat.”
The two rulers looked at each other. This would not be an offer easily accepted.
The eldest brother continued.
“Even in an all-out war, everyone dies from Munju. Since you are under orders, you probably don’t want to step down. know. However, when the above master arrives, the Geumhodae and Eunryongdae become meaningless sword holders. There is no honor in this fight. If you refuse, I will have no choice but to cut off your heads. “You two know better than Moonju that I will keep my word.”
I looked at my eldest brother. Regardless of whether the injured people are former subordinates or not, the eldest brother is the one who prioritizes what he says.
Anyway, I thought my eldest brother’s intention to take down the Geumhodae and the Eunryongdae at once in a single fight was a good one, so I helped out.
“If you two die, it will be easier for the above commander to use his troops. “Please step aside when given the chance.”
The Great Lord of Geumho raised his hand and called one of his subordinates.
“Buchou Zhang.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“Take command and retreat.”
“My lord….”
“I will stay. “It is my responsibility.”
“My lord.”
“It is no time to argue. “Go away.”
The man named Buju Zhang sighed and finally answered.
“I will take your orders.”
This time, the Silver Dragon Grandmaster opened his mouth.
“Yayul Buju, retreat together.”
Naturally, the man presumed to be Yayul’s vice-lord answered.
“I will stay.”
“I can’t stand being taken advantage of by the above leader. Retreat. If you don’t go, I’ll either hit you again or bite your tongue. I’m not responsible. To retreat. Be sure to retreat in the southeast direction, then turn around and return. If you encounter one along the way, you will have to stab him with a sword. The same goes for Geumho University. “Retreat together.”
“All right.”
The boat owners then exchanged glances and slowly retreated, leading those who were waiting. As the Lord of the Silver Dragon said, the direction was southeast.
It wasn’t what I expected, but it felt like the eldest brother’s choice was the right one. No matter how much these troops attack us, it is meaningless to the two of us.
The eldest brother said to the two great lords.
“No matter how much you are called a demon, there is no need to die like this.”
The King of Geumho nodded as if he respected his eldest brother’s words.
“Thank you for looking into the situation. But we will stay here. Don’t you know? “Someone always has to take responsibility.”
The eldest brother answered.
“I understand.”
Only then did the Golden Tiger and Silver Dragon take their stances and closed their eyes while calming their breathing.
The eldest brother said something that I couldn’t immediately understand.
“As time goes by and I look back.”
“hmm.”
“It seems that the religious leader is still stuck in the period of succession struggle.”
“What is it?”
“I guess that was my last happy memory. It wouldn’t have meant much to use such an army with just a few words after taking the top. In the end, it seems that the days when he still had enemies are what held him back.”
It was a very abstract story, but I understood it to some extent.
I asked my eldest brother what he guessed.
“So, were you hoping that your eldest brother or I would appear as your big enemy? “If you look back on what you’ve done so far.”
“Even if you come to understand the world in detail, there are times when you don’t really understand yourself. I think it’s not that I didn’t understand the cult leader, but that the cult leader didn’t understand himself. Looking back on the years of struggling to survive, it was the best time…how can I put it into words? “I’m at a loss for words to express this.”
I looked at my eldest brother’s expression.
I was about to ask, ‘Is the leader that sentimental?’ but held back. Because it reminded me of the time when the religious leader visited Elder Heo. That incident made me think that maybe my eldest brother’s guess was right.
A sigh flowed out.
“Are you saying you’re doing this because you’re bored living in a world with no enemies?”
I felt like a part of me was rotting away.
The eldest brother said while looking at the masters eating fortune-telling.
“…Retrieve the Sword of Light. Retrieve Ilsal. What does a few swords mean to a religious leader? I’m probably already at a point where I don’t need to use a sword. The fact that it is written in the gun laws is a good thing to say when ordering subordinates. If we had followed the gun laws in the first place, we wouldn’t have been called a demonic cult. Because he wouldn’t have tried to pretend to be with the world. There are hypocrites in the White Island and there are hypocrites in the Magic Island. The unidentified, nameless uneasiness that made me uncomfortable must have been due to the hypocrisy of this cult leader. Because….”
“….”
The eldest brother continued speaking as if he was conveying a message to the great lords.
“Because the cult leader’s entertainment is more important than your lives. You two are being sacrificed because of the silence, emptiness, boredom, boring daily life, and boring enemies that the religious leader feels. I left the church because of my foolishness, as I witnessed this sacrifice and found it difficult to even figure out what exactly was wrong. “There was a need to look at all of this objectively.”
The great masters who were eating fortune-telling breakfast quietly opened their eyes and looked at their eldest brother. I knew from the expressions on the two people’s faces that they were listening to their eldest brother’s story.
The Great Lord of Geumho asked.
“Is that why you left the church?”
The eldest brother answered.
“Do you think leaving for such a trivial reason is not enough?”
The Great Lord of Geumho shook his head.
“no. Left temple dapsso.”
I felt a strange feeling while listening to the conversation between my eldest brother and his former subordinates. It didn’t feel all that good. So, it was like learning about the cult leader’s weakness for the first time.
In my opinion, the cult leader’s weakness is…
the sword next to me.
This is because Geomma is a more suitable person to be the leader of a cult. This is even more so because it is not only my opinion, but also my former subordinates who feel the same way. But the reason why I feel bad as soon as I figure this out is simple.
This is because if my eldest brother becomes the leader of a cult, I will lose my eldest brother.
The reason why I suddenly sighed
was because I thought that the smart religious leader might have already known this.
As if throwing food to be sacrificed to the sword of light.
As if it were a test to become the next religious leader.
As if one could become a religious leader only by enduring this level of hardship and adversity.
The fight we went through was bearable.
I also feel sorry for the eldest brother who fell into the trap of the cult leader’s entertainment.
I feel pity too.
I feel sorry for the believers too.
So people always have to find their own way. Because if you don’t look for it, it’s like walking in the dark.
Who can understand this cult in detail?
Darkness is not an area that can be understood because it is just dark. So anyway, the hilt of the counterattack was held by the eldest brother.
Just as the eldest brother’s sword is bright.
However, the problem was still the powerlessness of the cult leader, so it was obvious that if the thing they were playing with was gone, they would find another way to play.
So, this is the prototype of a very primitive yet childish play.
This is because it is nothing more than capturing the strongest tiger from the other mountain and the strongest bear from this mountain and then seeing who will win. It could be said that the fight between a tiger and a bear has been expanded into a powerful battle.
If my reasoning is correct.
The religious leader would have saved Gwangmyeong Usa as well.
After torturing him mentally as much as he can, when he meets a variable called Hao Wen-ju and his head spins, he becomes a rabid dog. There is no need to kill it though. That’s because rabid dogs are dogs too.
My eldest brother and I looked at the newly appearing flag.
So what kind of bastards are they?
Perhaps because they knew that new troops were approaching, the Golden Tiger and Silver Dragon closed their eyes again. It seemed like he didn’t want to talk.
Ridiculously, the number of troops was greater than that of the Geumho and Silver Dragons combined. However, the uniforms were not uniform, and the masters at the front had a variety of weapons and uniforms, so they looked like a group of ronin. Only after coming closer did I realize that they were not a group of ronin, but rather a group of foodies.
The flag had the word TOP written on it.
It seems that Top King, who is said to have become the new Gwangmyeong Usa, has arrived. If they had been a little faster, the Geumho and Silver Dragons would not have been able to retreat. The orderliness of the troops was rather inferior to that of the retreating troops. However, the atmosphere and prayers of the guests seemed stronger than those of the believers who had just left. It certainly looked like there were some strong players here and there who had been eaten here and there.
When one person in this group moved, people turned left and right. It was as tall as a tree stepping out from among the crowd. When I checked his appearance, I found that he was not only tall but also abnormally wide on both sides. He was showing off his courage, making me think that not only he but also his ancestors were all generals.
When this man opened his mouth, a voice with a louder resonance than that of ordinary people came out.
“…Why did you keep them alive? “Sword Demon.”
The eldest brother snorted and did not answer.
Then the man presumed to be the king of the pagoda asked the great lords.
“Where did you send all the troops? I don’t think he’s dead. Lenders.”
I felt like I needed to divert the Tower King’s attention, so I opened the muzzle.
“…Are you the new Usa?”
The Tower King nodded and looked at me with an ugly expression.
“Are you Hao Wen Zhou?”
I slowly shook my head.
“I am Baek Eung-ji’s color.”
The Tower King nodded and answered.
“You must be Confucius. Where is Moonju?”
“My brother is busy right now.”
The eldest brother looked at me from the side as if he didn’t want to stop me.
The Tower King continued speaking in a solemn voice.
“Where did Jeomsoi go after emptying his cup? “You said you went to collect the credit?”
The king of the tower, who looked particularly stupid, spoke slyly, and only then did the diners burst into laughter as a group. They all laughed and said that they already knew that I was Hao Wen-ju. Actually, I found it funny too and laughed along with them.
“Top King….”
“Speak.”
“You’re smarter than you look. I took a hit. He was a smart man. Different from what it looks like. It was a preconceived notion. This is why you shouldn’t judge people by their appearance. It looked like the equipment had been drinking for three days and hadn’t even had a hangover, but I misjudged. You must be a renowned gourmet. “There was a rumor that the owner above sold it to you at a low price because he couldn’t afford the cost of your food. Is that true?”
Those who were laughing erased their smiles.
Those who were making noise fell silent.
The Tower King also looked at me with a stern expression and snorted.
“I have often heard rumors about you. I expected that your mouth would be torn apart by someone someday, but you managed to hold on. “I promise you that your mouth will be torn apart before the sun sets today.”
“Damn.”
The eldest brother next to me finally opened his mouth.
“Top King.”
Tower King answered.
“Do you have anything to say about the apostate?”
“Did you kill the war demon?”
The Tower King said with a wide smile.
“Ah…are you a former servant? Jeonma was a shameful nickname. How embarrassed would you have been to commit suicide after being defeated?”
The eldest brother asked in a polite tone.
“Did Jeonma behave shamefully or show cowardice during the fight?”
Tower King answered.
“It wasn’t like that. “Compared to just a special name…”
The eldest brother cut off the Tower King mid-sentence.
“But why are you mocking Jeon Ma’s death? “Because you’re stronger?”
The eldest brother, who had been sitting on the wall, got up.
When the man called Geomma stood up, the surroundings suddenly became quiet. Regardless of whether the number of troops was large or small, the eldest brother’s declaration of war continued.
“…There is no reason for an apostate to take revenge on a believer, but your ridicule cannot be overlooked. “Please come forward.”
Before the king could say anything, I intervened.
“I guess sending your subordinates first is not your magic path. If you send my subordinates, I will deal with them all, so you can deal with the old master. I don’t expect him to become Gwangmyeong Usa just because of his snout. Tower King. Now that I think about it, the king was here too. What an idiot. “They say he’s the king of dogs and cows…. A pestilence.”
The king’s blushing face was clearly visible from here, perhaps because his face was large.
The eldest brother lightly jumped off the wall and walked forward, stopping in a wide area.
A person who can’t step forward to do something like this is neither a magician nor a man. And there is something called the atmosphere of the battlefield. If you step down, you will not be respected by your allies as well as your enemies.
Actually, that is a powerhouse.
The king of the tower said while looking at the group of gourmets.
“Bring it.”
Two skinny people from a group of gourmets approached, holding on to a strangely shaped sword as thick as their own torsos. It was a strange and heavy-looking weapon, as if it had been made by attaching several large blades together. The king of the tower held it lightly with one hand and walked out with the sword draped over his shoulder.
The king of the towers seemed to have lost his mind and even taunted his eldest brother.
“…No matter how I look at it, it seems like you are one to two moves higher than Jeonma. Are you that confident?”
I looked at my eldest brother’s back and for some reason he seemed angrier than usual, so I closed my mouth for a moment.
At this time, I suddenly made eye contact with the Lord of the Golden Tiger and the Lord of the Silver Dragon.
“….”
The two people seemed to have closed their eyes and then opened them because they were curious about the fight. I held out my finger towards the two people and then twirled it around. Then the two people let out dry coughs and turned from their sitting position. Even though they suffered internal injuries, it seems they couldn’t bear to watch the fight.
The eldest brother drew his bright sword without saying a word.
The flashing blade was particularly dazzling today.
I thought it was an illusion, but when I looked up at the sky, I saw that it was just a clear, sunny day.
“…Hey clouds.”
It’s white.
