Episode 367
Samado’s face is distorted to such an extent that it is difficult to wrinkle any more.
the third already.
Following five groups and three groups, forty soldiers who had been organized as a chase group were massacred.
And this time, the dead warrior was stripped naked and a message was engraved on the skin of his chest.
Is it only this much?
“This... son of a bitch...”
I can’t help but keep my composure.
Obviously they had run away, but Samado felt as if they were whispering in his ear and giving him medicine.
It was a siege network built by putting in as many as three hundred people.
However, after turning forty of his subordinates into corpses, he quietly escaped.
Only three left this time.
When I first discovered their traces and started chasing them, the number of dozens increased as time went on, and it quickly exceeded one hundred before I knew it.
However, when the full-scale pursuit began, that number suddenly disappeared as if evaporating, and there were exactly four of them who reappeared.
According to the testimony of the survivors, it was said that the soldiers of the Mok-Gemdae were slaughtered by those four.
The scars left on the body were also different.
A body that was stabbed by a knife, a body that was stabbed by a fist, a body that was pierced by an arrow... and a body that was torn to shreds as if it had been killed by a beast, and was no longer in the meat shop.
In the meantime, he even left traces.
Even a guy who has not mastered the chase technique will break tree branches at every place he passed in the thick footprints that would predict the direction he ran away.
Samado really rose as much as the medicine rose.
They openly left traces, but the 300-year-old swordsman couldn’t even hold the tail, so it was a real mess.
“Jinsuk...”
“Yes?”
“Divide the sword stand into two groups. I lead a group and a group to bypass the route they fled. You lead the fourth and sixth, follow the trail and drive them away.”
Jinsuk hesitated to answer Samado’s order immediately.
“Daeju, it is not good to divide power at a time like this. It might be their lure.”
“....”
“Isn’t it a situation where the notes left behind and the traces left in the open are also causing damage one after another. If you dig a trap and wait...”
“So?”
“yes?”
“What’s wrong with that?”
“That... First of all, step back, organize your ranks, figure out their strategy, and then fight...”
Shuaak!
The end of a single flash of light.
Samado’s ink sword, pulled out before I knew it, revealed black fangs on the nape of Jinsook’s neck.
“Are you saying I should be scared? What about the tricks and tricks of Dongchun’s janitors and the like?”
“Great Lord.”
“invitation? trap?”
“...”
“They use tricks because they know they are weak. It’s difficult to compete head-on, so I’m sure you’re ready to win by using tricks.”
A ferocious light flashed in Samado’s eyes.
“Jinsuk Who am I?”
“....”
“I am Samado of the black sword. No matter how powerful the enemy faces, he is a battlefield reaper who never backs down. Whether it’s a trap or a lure, it doesn’t matter. Our tactic is one. It’s progress. Whatever they prepare, they destroy it.”
Jinsuk could no longer express his opinion.
Even if a demon just came up from hell, it wouldn’t look like that.
“Those who fear the enemy do not deserve to be on our sword stand.”
“...”
“If you intend to tarnish the sword’s reputation, decide. I’ll cut you right now.”
Jinsook hurriedly knelt down in front of Samado, who was glaring and spewing out murderous thoughts.
“I will follow you.”
Samado, who looked down coldly at the scene, gave the order again without even retrieving the sword.
“Find them inside tonight. No prisoners needed. Kill them as soon as you find them. Vice-owner Jin-suk takes the fourth and sixth to chase after them, and the rest follow me.”
“yes!”
Where did you disappear to?
But no matter what happened, I couldn’t come up with an answer even after thinking about it.
It was a problem that he could not stop the pursuit that had begun, and if he retreated, Samado and the remaining 150 Mukgeomdae could be isolated in the enemy camp.
“The sub-lord’s traces are heading south. Judging by the condition of the broken branches, it passed before about two degrees.”
Decreased angular distance.
If you go a little further, you can catch up.
“If this is the case...”
“It’s a guest room.”
“Okay, send a call to the detoured Daeju. You have to catch him there unconditionally. It’s clear they’re trying to lure us into a trap. block before that. Hurry up!”
“yes!”
Jeon Seo-gu flew up, and Jin-suk’s orders passed through each group and were handed down to his subordinates.
“Where are you going?”
“...they say it’s a guest room?”
Mokdang, an unmanned man who was waiting in the back row of the swordsman Mook, answered with a puzzled look at the question of a colleague next to him.
Obviously listen together and ask.
huh? But was there another soldier behind me?
Come to think of it... the chin exposed under the black lip is too young. There aren’t any young warriors like this on the sword stand?
“Hmm, I guess you’re following me well.”
“huh? what?”
“What?”
Fu-wook!
“It’s like this.”
“...!”
Mokdang stared blankly at the hand that had dug into his heart without even feeling the pain.
“You...”
Puffed out.
Then, when the hand holding the neck was lightly bent, Mokdang fell to the floor without even closing his eyes.
It was none other than Jinmu who cut the myeongdang’s string.
I joined the ranks. First create chaos to disperse enemies.
Also known as ‘The wolf appeared.’ strategy.
Jinmu, hiding in the sword stand, burrowed into the ranks in front and shouted with all his might.
“Enemies! The enemy has infiltrated the ranks!”
“...!”
That single cry caught everyone’s attention.
“Cheak!”
“Ahh!”
As if the shouting became a signal, screams were suddenly heard from the left and right, and the Cheongsang and Cheongwu symbionts who had launched the attack broke away and started to run away.
“They run away! Chase!”
“Wow!”
The effect was great.
The ranks of about 150 people who were about to depart for the guest room began to be disturbed by one attack and two shouts.
The surprise attack was enough to instill bewilderment and confusion in the enemy, and the warriors split after the fleeing beasts.
“What is this?”
The leader of each group was embarrassed by Jin-sook, the deputy leader who led the group as a leader.
“Who ordered the chase! I told you not to move until there are people! Stop chasing and quickly regroup!”
Jinsuk urgently gave the order, but it was after the ranks had already completely dispersed.
More than half of them had already been torn apart and disappeared into the forest.
“Damn it! What are the captains doing! Hurry up and get your troops...”
Jinsuk, who had been urgently stabilizing his subordinates, suddenly stopped talking.
At one point, a black flash flashed in front of him and disappeared in an instant, followed by a bloody rain.
And the devil came.
A man wearing the same outfit as them and covering his face with the same black lip.
After cutting off his subordinates and making a path of blood and corpses, he smiled at Jin-sook as he took off his black lip.
“From now on... hunting begins.”
