Chapter 125: Territorialism (3)

10:48 AM.

North Korea was in an uproar.

Just minutes after the stigma of ‘territorialism’ had occurred, another unpleasant news followed.

「Our country’s title, the Hwanghae Strongest Sword, has been robbed!」

In the morning, or practically the beginning of the day, two major regional titles from North Korea were being sucked into South Korea.

This was a significant problem regardless of whether the counterpart was South Korea or not.

Was the country’s assets being leaked abroad?

Although it was a world where even countrymen pointed swords at each other, at this moment, everyone was outraged by this incident.

And that’s the same for Sinuiju’s Strongest Sword Jo Seonghu 01.

“What? This son of a bitch.”

Looking across the Yalu River while having breakfast, he unconsciously crushed the rice cake he was holding in his hand.

“What on earth are you doing? Southern bastards.”

The ‘Southern bastards.’ that Jo Seonghu was talking about referred not to thieves from South Korea but to the entire south, including Kaesong and Hwanghae, which had consecutively lost their titles.

How much of an indignity can one have to be mentally lax to suffer?

How can you lose a fight like nothing else to a South Korean guy who has never experienced the slightest hardship in his life?

“Damn it.”

Seonghu furrowed his brow as if frustrated.

Yet, he couldn’t hide his ominous expression.

This was because yesterday, even at the Sinuiju, Chinese thieves were discovered crossing the border.

However, since they were clearly unrelated to the Chinese authorities, Seonghu decided to cut off one of their arms each and send them back.

But now, titles were being taken away by South Korea...?

While the intruders from China were mere riffraff, that thief was undoubtedly extraordinary.

Kaesong and Hwanghae Strongest Swords were weaklings, but... Anyway, isn’t it the Strongest Sword?

‘What on earth is going on down there, that the Strongest Sword level has already started crossing the border?’

Whoosh.

As Seonghu raised his hand into the air for a signal, a person waiting behind him hurriedly approached.

“Yes, give me the order.”

“Only dispatch one Pawel to Pyongyang. I guess I have to catch that rat myself.”

* * *

At the same time, Yeongwoo, unaware that a flood was being prepared from the Yalu River, was relentless in shooting arrows.

Twang!

「White Fire」 – Epic Bow

【Sensory perception applies to arrow power.】

【Power increases with arrow distance.】

Thrilled by the fact that he could unilaterally attack enemies hundreds of meters away.

“Oh, my goodness!”

Yeongwoo was on the Negwig running towards Paju City Hall, aiming at the traffic light in the distance.

Then.

Thud.

He pulled the bowstring with all his might.

Thwack!

He released the hand holding the bow.

The silver-white bowstring flashed in the forefront of the silver-white bow, and from that spot, the arrow shot out like a flash of lightning.

Thunk!

It took practically no time for Yeongwoo to shatter the red traffic light nearly 400 meters away.

Of course, if his opponent were of a decent level, like Park Seolhwa, they could probably react adequately to this attack, with a probability of about 70%.

「Illusion」 – Unique Shoes

【30% chance of detection evasion.】

But what if a stealth arrow, undetectable even by local forensic examination from outside the field of vision, came at high speed?

How many could react to that?

‘It’s terrifying just to imagine.’

“What’s going on that they’ve summoned these high-level talents here? It must be something serious.”

Then, Seongbuk’s Strongest Sword Lee Yoobin16 mocked him.

“Serious? Are you planning to shake hands again?”

This reminded everyone of the incident yesterday when Jang Jeongho challenged the newly appointed Gangnam’s Strongest Sword to a power struggle and got severely reprimanded.

“But still, the employees haven’t arrived yet, right? Shouldn’t we at least bring out some chairs? Or go inside? There are new people joining today, and their appearance seems...”

Pointing to the inside of the city hall was Lee Hanwook09, Dongjak’s Strongest Sword.

And a few meters away from him was Kim Hyeonggyu11, Eunpyeong’s Strongest Sword, who was attending the meeting for the first time, holding a very large and flat two-handed sword stuck into the ground.

Although he was also a Strongest Sword from the Seoul area, he looked very grim due to joining the meeting late.

“....”

Therefore, he was making a rather cautious expression, as he was unfamiliar with the structure and atmosphere of the meeting and didn’t want to seem underestimated.

“Gangnam’s Strongest Sword... is the strongest right now, right?”

When Eunpyeong’s Strongest Sword asked with a somewhat heavy voice, the bustling crowd suddenly fell silent.

Everyone present here had witnessed the moment when the strongest Strongest Sword changed firsthand.

The newly appointed Gangnam’s Strongest Sword, Jeong Yeongwoo.

The monstrous giant who came from another world, riding on a steel horse, and tackled Jeong Hyunsik in a wrestling-style, toppling him over.

“He’s strong, incredibly so.”

After a while, Seongbuk’s Strongest Sword Lee Yoobin said with a wistful look.

Right now, she was recalling the sight of Jeong Yeongwoo swinging his elbow and cutting off Jeong Hyunsik’s neck.

On the other hand.

“He’s strong, but he’s a bit strange, so be on your guard. He’s a guy who eats people’s organs.”

Dongdaemun’s Jang Jeongho made a disgusted expression, recalling the scene where Jeong Yeongwoo opened Jeong Hyunsik’s abdomen and swallowed his entrails.

“He eats human organs...?”

The concept of a newcomer meeting momentarily shattered.

Kim Hyeonggyu11, Eunpyeong’s Strongest Sword.

Although he was a hero who had protected Eunpyeong-gu against mutants every day, he couldn’t help but be surprised at the idea that the strongest person in this meeting ate human organs.

‘What kind of person is he...?’

As Kim Hyeonggyu imagined the worst-case scenario, Yongsan’s Strongest Sword, who had been looking around anxiously, pointed to the south.

“Oh... That person is the second-in-command of our meeting.”

At this, Kim Hyeonggyu’s head turned involuntarily, and soon he saw a woman with a sword, holding an Woldo.

Ta-tat!

She was none other than Songpa’s Strongest Sword, Oh Yeonhee04.

Behind her were Seocho’s Strongest Sword, Choi Namhee11, and Gangdong’s Strongest Sword, Kim Juwoo13, sticking closely.

Gangdong was especially the farthest area from Paju among the Seoul regions.

“It seems like almost everyone is here. Now, all we need is for the host to appear...”

As Yongsan Strongest Sword, Kim Doha, said this, everyone waited for the moment when Jeong Yeongwoo would enter from the north.

Twang!

A strange sound, unfamiliar to everyone, rang out.

Thwack!

Along with the sharp sound, a silver arrow flew through the Strongest Swords and embedded itself into the ground.

Thunk!

The arrow had such a powerful force that it pierced through the hard asphalt like tofu.

“What...?”

“What’s this, where did it come from?”

“What is this...?”

The Strongest Swords in the crowd were bewildered, staring blankly at the arrow, and only reacted belatedly when it disappeared into thin air as if melting into the air.

Shwooosh!

Thud!

Drawing their weapons from their waists, they began to search for the direction from which the arrow had come.

Then.

– Twang!

Along with the distinctive cry of his iron horse Negwig, Yeongwoo’s voice was heard from across the city hall.

“Oops... Sorry! Was anyone hit by the arrow?”
