Chapter 386

Episode 386:

A tomb located on the southern outskirts of Banghyeon.

The demons who had been waiting camped on the huge mound began to move bustlingly.

“They are political faction bastards!”

“The interception squad has arrived!”

The demon cultists standing guard on top of the watchtower issued a warning.

As I stood in the air and looked down at the ground, I clicked my tongue inwardly.

‘I thought so, but I was fully prepared to fight a defensive battle.’

At first glance, the number of people seems to exceed four digits.

High fences and traps installed here and there.

Even though the power is low, it covers a wide area.

It was a difficult structure for the interceptor to attack without warning.

‘What should I do with this?’

In terms of the size of the troops, our side was ahead.

However, considering that the geographical advantage was on the Magyo side, it could not be said to be a significant advantage.

The situation was not good for taking time to observe.

Even at this very moment, the attack on the ruins led by the Sosalma Army was probably in progress.

We had to disrupt them before they could achieve their goal and leave the tomb.

‘The more urgent it is, the more you have to go back. It won’t be too late to ask the Zhuge siblings for their opinions first and then make a decision.’

* * *

The leadership of the interception unit gathered in the large command barracks and held a meeting.

How will the agenda reverse the current unfavorable situation?

The first to speak was the jujakdaeju Hwaseongdo (flame sword).

“I think it’s too late to discuss the operation now.”

“What does it mean?”

“We are in a situation where we are fighting over time. “We must not give the Demonic Cult any more time.”

“Even if we have to make some sacrifices, we must immediately engage in all-out war. Is that what you want to say?”

“That’s right.”

The old man sitting at the head of the table, the Sword King, nodded heavily.

A considerable amount of time had already been delayed due to the interference of the special forces.

Everyone here knew.

Ultimately, it is the demons who benefit from taking time.

“My thoughts are also the same as yours.”

The head of the main unit, Yeon Un-geom (煙雲劍), supported Hwaseong-do’s remarks.

The shaman sect’s practitioners, who were excited to return to the realm of the ascetics, also supported her argument.

“My thoughts are a little different.”

The person who waited for the unrest to subside and opened his mouth was Zhuge Ming, an elder of the Zhuge family.

The eyes of the middle school students were all focused on him.

“It is good to hasten the conclusion. But if you lose the battle, isn’t it meaningless?”

“.......”

“The Jujakdaeju’s argument is based on the premise that our army will win. If the interceptor were to be destroyed, there could be no worse outcome. “Not only will the enemies achieve their goals, but it will also have a negative impact on the entire martial arts faction.”

Yan Yun-geom’s eyes became sharper.

She glared at Zhuge Ming and spoke fiercely.

“Are you thinking we will lose?”

“Of course, I also want our troops to win. But shouldn’t we also keep the worst case in mind? There is a clear difference between being determined to win and ignoring the possibility of defeat.”

“In terms of military power, we have the upper hand.”

“Instead, the environmental advantage is on the Magyo side. “If we continue fighting like this without any countermeasures, an even more advantageous situation will be created for them.”

The Earth Dragon, who was thinking with his chin resting, had a mysterious smile on his lips.

“How about a camp method instead of a tunnel?”

“......?”

“Isn’t it enough to just build a road leading to the ruins? “I don’t think the process of creating that path has to be secret.”

“Is there some good way?”

“It may be a bit ignorant, but there is one method that is just as sure and safe.”

To briefly summarize what Jiryong said next, it was as follows

. First, install a strong camp in the friendly camp.

2. The range of the installed camp is gradually increased to create a road leading to the tomb.

“Is that possible?”

“One of the Jin-ok Jin methods that I have recently developed is called Seven Oxen Jin (七獄陣). Recently, we were able to verify its power thanks to the help of Director Cheonan-gam.”

“...!”

Exclamations of exclamation naturally flowed out.

It was truly an unexpected method.

The formation method was basically for defense.

Even if you put a lot of effort into installing it, it is meaningless if the enemy doesn’t get inside.

As a result, using Jinbeop in an attack was close to being realistically impossible.

‘Because it is not something that can be created spontaneously, there are bound to be restrictions on how it can be used. Originally.’

There was no need to say anything if Jin was strong enough to trap an absolute expert.

In the past, wasn’t even the labyrinth that Sima Yun had created over several days destroyed by a single blow from the intangible sword that the Vampire Demon Emperor had manifested?

‘But the Chilokjin is enough to trap an absolute master.’

Is it possible to instantly create a high-ranking Jin like the Seven Jade Jin on the battlefield?

This was usually impossible.

The power of a Jinbeop is proportional to the time and materials used to make it.

However, there was only one way to drastically shorten the production period.

All it took was a lot of manpower to do it.

A strategy that would take several days to create alone could be completed within one hour if dozens of players work together.

‘And the current interception team includes many Jinbeopga dispatched by the Zhuge Dynasty.’

Of course, the only Wulin force in the entire central plains that could actually use this method was Zhuge Shi.

The price of a skilled Jinbeop artist is sky-high.

The second problem was the amount of castings consumed in the operation.

‘It’s literally a magical eye.’

It was truly a strategy that only the Zhuge Dynasty could think of and execute.

Once the Earth Dragon’s operation is carried out, the demonic cultists will not be able to stop the interceptor’s advance even if they know about it.

In the end, there were only two options given to them.

Do you just watch from afar as the path made by Jinbeop reaches the tomb, or do you jump out of the fence and engage the interception team before that happens?

Either way, there was nothing bad about our troops.

‘In fact, it should be said that there is no possibility of the former.’

There was no way the demon cultists would watch with their eyes open as the interceptor entered the ruins.

But it didn’t really matter.

If the Demonic Church side could voluntarily jump out of the fence, that would have been enough.

If the environmental advantage was taken away, ultimately the ally with superior military power would have the advantage.

“That’s a good idea.”

After hearing all the explanations, the Sword King nodded with a hollow smile.

The members of the Jujakdae and the Taoists of the Shaman faction were unable to express their dissatisfaction this time.

At that time, Zhuge Hye quietly raised his hand and opened his mouth.

“I have one additional suggestion.”
