Chapter 492

Episode 492

Pugh!

The elder of the Qingseong Sect, Unhakgeom, looked down at his feet and had a gloomy expression.

My heart became heavy as I looked at the horribly mutilated body.

‘Your face is completely crushed.’

One could tell that he was a disciple of a monk just by looking at his tattered clothes.

But I couldn’t tell who exactly it was.

That’s because the number of disciples who were brutally murdered in a similar way reached double digits.

The attack that took place last night was truly like a nightmare.

The atmosphere, which had been relaxed due to repeated victories, tightened.

It would have been less shocking had it collided with the main force of the swarming Demonic Cult.

Just one person.

Three digits of people lost their lives because they couldn’t do anything about just one person.

‘I’ve already heard the rumors.’

I was able to realize it only after experiencing it myself.

As long as the Demon Cult does not die, the Great Demon War will never end.

In fact, I thought it was a war that had already been won.

Five of the eight great demons died, and among the sect’s disciples, only one survived.

Size and quality of troops, cohesion, morale, situational advantages and disadvantages, etc.

The Baekdo martial arts side had the upper hand in all aspects.

I thought that even if the leader was the best expert in the world, he would not be able to turn the situation around on his own.

‘...Is he really a human being like me?’

But now my thoughts have completely changed.

The religious leader had the ability to turn the tide of war.

I couldn’t find another word to express it other than the word monster.

“Whoa.”

I hope to be alone in my thoughts for a while.

Yu Song Dojang, one of the disciples of the Cheongseong Sect, came up behind him and cautiously opened his mouth.

“Younghwan’s residence”

“What’s going on?”

“Jang Mun-in is looking for you.”

“Jang Mun-in?”

“A leadership meeting will be held soon, so he told me to bring Sa-suk.”

“i get it. “Go right now.”

Yeonghwan looked down at the body once again and walked away with a heavy face.

A hot wind blew through the place where he was standing.

* * *

“What do you mean by that now?”

“You said you would further increase the speed of your advance.”

“Do you know how many people were injured last night?”

“Of course I know. “Better than you.”

“But why!”

“This is because the enemy we have to deal with is someone who deviates from common sense.”

The expression of Baek Woon-geom (百澐劍), a 100-year-old expert from Amipa, became distorted.

I couldn’t understand it at all.

What on earth is Maehwashingeom (梅花神劍) thinking of forcing such a burden on its allies?

“What the Commander-in-Chief said is correct.”

Baekwoongeom sighed.

After hearing the explanation, I could no longer argue that efforts should be made to reorganize.

“Don’t worry too much. From now on, we will also prepare defenses against attacks. “It is unlikely that we will suffer as much damage as this time.”

“All right.”

The middle school students nodded heavily and stood up from their seats.

The advance was to resume tomorrow morning.

As the schedule was advanced, there were many things to go back and prepare.

“I know this is an undesirable decision. “But I hope you know that this is the best thing to do under the circumstances.”

‘Dangerous.’

Command barracks built in Changjiang, Shanxi Province.

After hearing the report from the messenger, my expression became serious.

Master Ma began to move alone.

‘You’ve pulled out the worst move you could have ever feared.’

He was the leader of the Demonic Cult who persevered even after being accepted by me, King Kwon, and a three-digit number of martial artists.

He had decided to use hit-and-run tactics to harass the allied forces in Sacheon.

It was not difficult to guess how great a sense of crisis the Allied Forces in Sacheon were currently feeling.

To single-handedly ravage a large army that included sword demons and poison demons.

Of all the martial artists in the central plains, it was something that only he could do.

‘If handled properly, the actual damage will not be that great. The problem is the morale of the Allied Forces, which will drop to rock bottom...’

Fortunately, Maehwashingeom, who led the Allied Forces in Sichuan, was a smart and perceptive person.

At least he made a misjudgment and the Allied Forces would not suffer irreversible damage.

‘It’s a pain in the ass.’

In fact, I thought it was highly likely that Jiaoju would target the Allied Forces in Hubei.

It is a unit that is moving north toward Shaanxi, where the headquarters is located, and above all, it is an easy prey as there is no absolute leader assigned to it.

Of course, the Murim League military department was not so lax, so the Allied forces in Hubei did not make any preparations.

In fact, it was the Allied Forces in Hubei that were best prepared for the attack of Ma Jiao Province.

In Hubei, there was a family called Zhuge Dynasty, a famous family of Jinbeop.

Originally, Jinbeop was used for sue, not for attack, but the Zhuge family was the only martial arts group that could overturn that obvious common sense.

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

The goods referred to here do not only refer to the money needed to purchase fetishes.

Rather, what accounted for the most was the ransom of a skilled Jinbeop expert.

And the Zhuge family was a family that possessed a lot of skilled Jinbeop practitioners.

The way to drastically shorten the production period for high-level formations was simple.

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 worked together.

Currently, the Allied Forces in Hubei were advancing more slowly than the other Allied Forces, but in the most steady and sure manner.

‘The biggest problem is that Ma Jyoju is currently moving more freely than anyone else on the battlefield.’

Right now, the Allied Forces in Sichuan are under threat, but in three days he could appear before the Allied Forces in Hanam.

As it was unpredictable, the fear was bound to increase.

‘First of all, we must somehow overcome this situation wisely and advance. As each allied force continues to advance and the scope of the battlefield narrows, the movements of the religious leaders will also contract.’

I sighed, folded the letter, and put it down on the desk.

What the Allied Forces in Hanam had to do did not change.

In order to complete the picture, I first had to catch the White Faced Reaper.

‘where. Let’s take a quick bite at the prey caught in the trap.’
