Episode 164

“First of all, please recruit soldiers who are above the level of dizziness!”

The center of the headquarters where the head of Cheonungbang is located.

Standing on the podium where the flag was fluttering, Jeoksaeng sweated like rain as he surveyed the battlefield and gave orders nonstop.

“We put this group back and put three groups in.”

“yes!”

“Use the ronin to block the enemy’s front and attack the enemy’s rear as a separate team.”

“yes!”

The messengers who were waiting for his command ran towards their assigned places without a chance to catch their breath.

After the collapse of the front line, a change in formation began with the order of Jeoksaeng.

Jeoksaeng sent all of his five sons and elders to the battlefield, excluding King Konghu of the Ark of Heaven, and divided the main force into six.

Due to the sudden change of formation according to his order, some damage suffered in the beginning was unavoidable.

At first, the head of Cheonungbang, who was embarrassed and puzzled, began to move little by little due to the fiery shouts of Duke Won, and as soon as the situation stabilized and he was able to systematically confront the attacks of the Iron Sword, he began to show his true abilities. He began to trust Jeoksaeng as a military man.

Thanks to the strategy Jeoksaeng devised on the spot, he missed the chance to launch a counterattack, but since the Iron Swordsman could no longer push into Cheonwoongbang’s main base, the reliability of it increased even more.

Jinmu and Dangse-ryeong Unam assisted in the defense of the main base of Cheonungbang, which was built around Wonho Won-ho, the fire lord, so the leader of the iron sword team was unable to break through despite countless beatings. attacked left and right alternately.

As soon as they received damage without following the order of Jeoksaeng, they alternated with the next group and came out to replenish the number of people.

Moreover, Cheon Woo-myeong, who was distracted because his four sons, excluding Won Won-ho, led the elite of Cheon Woong-bang and attacked the rear of the enemy, could not easily take the lead.

A battle where everyone risked their lives but did not expect that they would withstand the attack of the Iron Sword. However, due to the tactics of Jeok-saeng and the efforts of Cheon Woong-bang, who risked his life, it was not easy to come to an end.

“The Iron Swords are retreating!”

Upon hearing the news delivered by the messenger from the main camp, Duke Won’s face was filled with joy.

“Keep in formation! We must never let our guard down until we withdraw completely!”

“yes!”

At the cry of Jeoksaeng, the messenger ran with a happy face to deliver the order.

“All right. it’s okay!”

Duke Won knew that today’s battle had already ended.

Having lived as a soldier in Sapa, he never thought that the role of a single soldier would exert such a huge power in battle.

Although Cheonungbang has much more numbers, it could never be said to be equal in power.

Aren’t more than half of the soldiers belonging to the Iron Sword Team made up of Hyungi level?

It was all thanks to the enemy. If it weren’t for him, who overturned the absolute inferiority like the incarnation of Zhuge Liang, we wouldn’t have been able to survive the first day.

Even though he believed in and followed the transmission of Jinmu, the suspicion that had not gone away was gone.

“It’s all thanks to you. You suffered.”

“...”

Won Gong-hu did not let go of his tension for a moment, and smiled while holding the hand of the sweat-drenched Jeok-saeng.

However, the face of the red student did not look happy at all.

“I’m glad. It seems to have been blocked right now.”

“okay. I blocked it. It’s not Cheonwoongbang, it’s you who blocked the Iron Sword’s attack.”

Won Gong Hu laughed out loud and hugged Jeok Saeng tightly.

* * *

“Damn it!”

The face of Chun Woo-myeong, who had been bitten by the troops, was distorted like a yaksha.

couldn’t break through

In the evening, the battle, which was expected to be aimed at Duke Won’s throat, took longer than expected.

In my mind, I wanted to jump into the base and stir it up without mercy, but even that was not an easy situation.

He knew at least that no matter how good he was, he would not be able to deal with all of Cheonungbang.

Moreover, it is self-evident that Won Gong-hu will join the battle the moment he jumps in.

Chun Woo-myeong knew the inaction of Duke Won more than anyone else.

he is strong Chun Woo-myeong would win if it was simply based on his martial arts, but that was only when it was one-on-one. If he was confined to Cheonungbang’s headquarters while fighting Gonghu Won and his movement was restricted, it was obvious that the Iron Swords would be defeated.

Mo Won-ryeo suggested a retreat after seeing the iron sword team getting tired without achieving results.

Chun Woo-myeong gritted his teeth and bit his troops when he was told to fight again after replenishing his strength since he had come a long way.

“Sweet Lord. This is not a Cheon Woong Bang tactic. Doesn’t it seem as if the great military leader of the Jeongmu Maeng, Jegal Collaboration is here?”

“...”

“That’s right. As you said, the enemy’s tactics were like those of the military.”

As even Seoksan, the three major lords, agreed with Mo Won-ryeo’s words, Chun Woo-myeong’s eyes trembled non-stop.

The seed of doubt planted by Mo Won-ryeo.

The story that Cheon Woong-bang might have joined hands with Jeong Mu-maeng increasingly troubled his thoughts.

“How much is the damage?”

“In the first battle, half of the lead were killed. In the ensuing battle, 20 people were killed and 30 wounded.”

“Umm....”

It wasn’t that he didn’t have casualties in mind, but the damage was greater than he thought.

Cheonungbang also suffered damage, but Gansuk is their front yard. It would be a big deal if the Sapa forces in Gansuk, who had turned their backs on Cheonungbang, changed their minds and joined them.

“Sweet Lord. We must inform the main body and request reinforcements even now. If they really joined hands with the Jeongmu-maeng...”

“Wonryeo.”

Chun Woo-myeong stopped Mo Won-ryeo’s words of concern.

It’s not that his words don’t make sense.

“Tomorrow we will fight one more day. Then, if doubts do not go away, I send a telegram to nature.”

“To end the war...”

Jeoksaeng looked at him once more.

“Come on, tell me. Enemy teacher.”

“That is... surrender.”

“...”

A moment of silence.

“Nonsense!”

As Wonho Won yelled at him, Jinmu glared at him.

“Even if I had to die, I would never bow my head to them! Please think of another plan.”

Everyone looked at the red student with fire in their eyes as if they were of the same mind.

Tsk tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk until just a moment ago, I was complimented on how great it was.

When he rescued the drowning man, he seemed to be begging for help, even asking him to hand over his bundle.

Jinmu laughed and scolded Won Won-ho.

“You shut up and listen to the end.”

“what? How dare such a young man!”

Don’t be fooled.

He has yet to fully see Jinmu’s skills.

When Jinmu came to the main camp to introduce the enemy, it was an urgent situation, so there was no time to properly grasp what was going on, and after that, he had to stop the Iron Swords from the center of the main camp.

But no matter how great it was, it was the same. It was unacceptable for Jinmu, a young, blue-eyed firefighter, to bruise him with short words at a gathering of the leaders of Cheonwoongbang.

Won-ho Won opened his eyes as if he were about to eat Jinmu.

“stop!”

Won Gong Hu frowned and blocked it.

“father!”

“Won’t you stop! What insolence is this to those who helped us!”

“...”

Won Gonghu’s angry voice, Cheon Won Ho glared at Jinmu with burning eyes, then stepped back.

“Enemy teacher. Is there any other way than surrender?”

“Because that’s... an uncertain method.”

“What is it?”

“The ark is coming out.”

“I?”

“yes.”

At Jeok-saeng’s words, everyone is puzzled again.

Everyone waited for his words to come out, but who dared to speak easily under these circumstances?

“are you okay. say.”

As Jinmoo cheered him up, Jeoksaeng opened his mouth in a small voice like an ant.

“The Ark is directly fighting Cheon Woo-myeong, the lord of the iron sword.”

A chilly stillness flows for a moment.

The meaning of Jeoksaeng is to fight for victory or defeat.

It was something that Duke Won had already made up his mind about at first, and Won Won-ho and his brothers opposed it, risking their lives.

“Inom! I tried to treat you because you have small talent! How dare you do such a foolish thing to anyone!”

Cheon Won-ho screamed, exhaling a cold chill and even killing himself.

Not only that, but even the elders glared at the enemy with eyes that would tear them apart.

“Tsk!”

As Jinmu clicked his tongue and blocked Jeoksaeng in front of the intimidating feeling that came from all sides, a refreshing energy wrapped around him as if protecting him.

“It’s like hats.”

The seongi that was spread along with the tone of scolding, not only pushed away the energy of the leaders of Cheonwoongbang, but also began to press them again.

“Geuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...”

A suppressed moan erupted from here and there, and Won Won-ho, who was closest to him, couldn’t stand it and fell to his knees.

“Even if you are a sapper, you should refrain from throwing a knife at someone who has been helped!”

Jinmu’s energy was refreshing, but his voice cut through their hearts like a sharp dagger.

“Who do you blame for not being able to come up with a proper plan because you guys are weak!”

“Ugh...”

The energy of Jinmu is getting stronger and pushing everyone down as if to crush them.

“stop!”

It was Won Gong Hu who cut off the tense tension.

The energy that spread along with his work gently pushed away Jinmu’s energy.

“Stop cheering me up.”

“joy!”

When Gonghu Won politely asked for it, Jinmu turned his head away as if he didn’t even want to look at him.

Gonghu Wen sighed and told everyone.

“Everybody get out. Enemy teacher, please go out and rest. I have a story to share with this person of mine.”

“...yes.”

Jeok-saeng went out with a frightened expression, and Won-ho Won and the elders glared at Jin-mu, only to go out after receiving Gong-Won’s glare.

And after a while there was silence.

“Now tell me. Who are you?”
