Beastly and Fearlessly - Chapter 118



Only Krnovel

The one and only king of Namman, the one who will become the Beast King… …. Episode 118

“But what did father say that made you come in person?”

Cheolyeongdae is a military unit representing Namcheon Damdong, or rather Paldong.

Each clan has its own military force, which consists of the best and most talented warriors from the clan.

But nowhere can they go beyond the iron fence.

Besides, doesn’t Cheolyeongdae only listen to his father’s orders?

“I think Dongju… … has given me a chance.”

In their youth, the father and this taciturn man shared the same dream and headed to the Central Plains.

And with that dream in his heart, he returned to Namman.

But why wouldn’t there be some regret in my heart?

Perhaps it was because he knew about that unspeakable dream that his father sent Cheolyeongdaeju here.

It means to take in the world with your eyes by my side… … .

“Welcome. I feel like I’ve gained a thousand troops. Haha.”

“I, Gwak Deung-un, am the one who has sworn to give my life for Namcheon Damdong and the Beast Palace. Please use Sodongju’s sword well.”

I first met Cheolyeongdaeju Gwak Deung-un at Porangsan Mountain.

The day I saved a little boy in danger.

I felt it vaguely then.

Maybe this man will walk the path I walk with… … .

“I see. Perhaps you will become the sharpest knife in the world to me.”

Cheolyeongdaeju Kwak Deung-un is not a person who expresses his emotions outwardly.

But the look on his face as he listened to me was memorable.

Old dreams, anticipation of a new world.

“By the way, since you are someone I will serve for the rest of my life, I will speak to you now.”

“No. I’m comfortable right now. Kwak Dae-ju is someone who will help me by my side, but he’s also someone I have to make many decisions with. For the time being, it’s better for you to just speak comfortably.”

This will have to change soon, but for now, this is the way it is.

It doesn’t suit me to put everyone under me as if I’m already the king of beasts.

Especially to those who will play an important role in my future, like Grand Master Kwak Deung-un.

“… … Then let’s treat them like we used to for the time being. Oh, and on my way here, I saw some rascals watching over this manor. I thought they left it there on purpose, so I just passed by.”

These are the Hwanmilu guys.

Those who are watching us before the war.

“Well, that’s right, but it’s time to get it over with. We’ve come to the iron fence, so it’s time to get started.”

At my words to clean it up, Kwak Deung-woon nodded toward Cheolyeongdae.

The twenty men who had been waiting disappeared into the darkness again.

Hwanmilru.

“Does that make sense? All twenty of the guys who were watching those savage bastards just disappeared?”

“There were thirty, not twenty. We recently supplemented our personnel… … . We sent out those who were quick-witted and capable.”

“So, does that make sense if there were twenty or thirty people? They wouldn’t have gathered them all in one place, right?”

“There were twenty guys who were watching nearby, and the remaining ten were watching from afar. Oh, they’re not guys who would be taken advantage of so easily… … .”

It means that we knew about it but just ignored it.

Now it also means that they are going to start a full-scale fight.

“According to the last report, the figure of Maeng Deung-ho, who was staying at the inn, was found at the Beast Gate. His daughter was with him. A few days ago, thirty savages who appeared to be ronin rushed in.”

“As expected, it was Maeng Deung-ho and that bastard Dam-myeong who got together. The incident at Heungmunsan Villa was also Dam-myeong’s doing… … . But there were thirty ronin?”

It’s still hard to believe that a single powerful savage could wipe out a band of demons and take the girl away, but now is not the time to think about such things.

Maeng Deung-ho was one of the best in the ronin market.

So, there was something I was trying to use in this case.

Anyway, there was a group of ronin led by such a blind man, and it seems that the news is that those guys have joined the Beast Gate.

They may be naive and uncivilized barbarians, but their skills are not light.

“Should I pick out some more useful ones and send them back?”

“Leave it alone. It will just disappear anyway.”

Even though the eyes that had been watching us have disappeared, we are still unaware of each other’s situation.

‘He seems to be a pretty smart guy for a barbarian, but he’s still a long way from dealing with Huanmilu. We’re just the guys who roll around at the very bottom of the Central Plains… ‘

Rouge gave instructions to Ma Hyo-won, who was waiting in front of her.

“Contact the guys in the Sacheon region who are entangled with us. Pick out the useful guys and send them all to Hwanmilu. I bet Mongwanjeoksan is well prepared.”

“Of course. I heard that this time the selection was very good.”

“Thank goodness. And who were they? You know, the guys who made those crude white phosphorus bombs and went around setting things on fire and making a mess of things?”

“Ah, those crazy bastards from the Flame King Gang? But no matter how urgent it is, those crazy bastards… … Of course, if Lord Rouge calls, they’ll come running right away.”

They are the lowest of the low.

They’re crazy kids who don’t have much of a weapon, but if they mess up, they’ll create a sea of ​​fire.

“Call them and say you’ll let them come into Hwanmilu. Anyway, we’ll finish this and clean up everything. Also, tell Jeok-an-bul and Na-chal-sam-gwi to come in with their kids. Leave the outside work aside for now.”

“I see. Seeing that you’ve summoned the three demons of the Red Eye, I can see that you’re really planning on waging war.”

“The world is originally a war. In all my life, I have never experienced a time of peace without war. So, what did Bukmyeongjang say? They said they would help me?”

The Bukmyeongjang is a small sect led by Zhang Liang.

An absolute master known in the world as the Iron Tower King.

Although his power alone may not be enough to be included in the list of the Twelve Apostles, the existence of an absolute master in the martial arts school cannot be compared to anything else.

Even if he is an absolute master like Jang Ryang, who has surpassed the peak and reached the realm of Hwagyeong.

“I’ll think about it.”

“Haa… … . If I do it, I will, and if I don’t, I won’t. What do you mean by thinking about it? Where else in the Twelve Apostles?”

Actually, I don’t have high expectations.

Other places belonging to the Twelve Apostles treat Huanmilu like a bug.

“I sent a letter, but I haven’t heard from you yet… … Only Gwi-eum-mun showed a slightly positive response. By the way, are you planning on bringing those savage bastards over to us?”

“That’s right. First, send the secret letter to the Beast Gate. If you come to Hwanmilu, I, the Lord of Lu, will deal with you personally. Spread the word here and there.”

“Are you really going to deal with me?”

“Are you crazy? Why would I fight with a stinking savage like that? And would he really come? Even if he’s a stupid savage, would he come knowing full well that it’s a trap?”

“then……?”

“Of course they’ll try to hit us in the back of the head. We can just use that to our advantage.”

There are maze-like alleys on the way to Hwanmilu.

This place is so complicated that people get lost, and it’s like a spider’s web where you can’t escape once you’re surrounded from the front and back.

If you drag it that far, it’s all over.

Fighting isn’t just about swords.

Spreading poison and burning to death is also fighting.

The fight between the bottom sapphires.

The fight at Hwanmilu.

Beast Gate Audience Hall.

Jegal So-hye came to visit early in the morning.

Behind her, the owner of Hyeonwoldae, Samuhyeok, was also there.

I was momentarily surprised by the sudden increase in the number of people and asked.

“The Beast Gate’s power has grown significantly in a short period of time. I guess they are all from the South.”

“They are ronin who were active in the Central Plains. They are all from the Nanman clan.”

Thirty ronin who followed Maeng Deung-ho joined the Beast Gate.

Once the war with Huanmilu is over, I plan to give it an appropriate name.

Daejoo can be taken by Maeng Deung-ho.

There is also a Cheolyeongdae that came over from Namcheon Damdong, so the total number of troops has increased by 50.

Of course, the people that Jegal So-hye is talking about now are ronin.

The iron fence always stays in a place that is not easily visible.

“I heard that Hwanmiluju sent a secret envoy, but you don’t really intend to go, do you?”

“I must go because they called me. If I don’t go, won’t people think the warriors of the Beast Palace are cowards?”

“Haa, there’s no way Huan Miluju would really want to fight. It’s definitely a trap. According to the information, he’s gathering all his scattered subordinates. I’ve also heard that Red Eye Buddha and Nachasamgwi are already heading to Huan Milu. Do you happen to know who they are?”

“embrace.”

Among the masters of Hwanmilu, they are the only ones who are allowed to act independently.

They are the highest level masters who have perhaps achieved a similar level to the Rougeun Magical Circle.

They are protected by Hwanmilu, one of the twelve apostles, so they are not listed in the martial arts world’s achievements, but they commit evil deeds just as bad as Rooju.

Of course, since my skills are backed up, I’ll be shaking all over the place.

“But you’re saying you want to go there? Sigh… … .”

At that moment, Hyeonwol Daeju Samuhyeok, who had been quietly listening to our conversation from behind, intervened.

“Miss Zhuge, let’s go back to the alliance now. What did I say? Didn’t I say that there was no need for the Martial Arts Alliance to get involved in an incident caused by a savage who didn’t know the ways of the world? Someone like this who doesn’t even know the basics of military strategy… … . Tsk tsk.”

“Well, military strategy. I didn’t know that you need to know military strategy to get rid of that kind of trash. So, what would you do if you were in my situation, Lord Samuhyeok?”

Samuhyeok looked at me for a while with a dumbfounded expression before opening his mouth.

“I heard that the leader is thinking of you in particular, so I’ll give you some advice. If the enemy has set a trap, it’s right to avoid it. And it would have been better if you hadn’t created a situation where you had to deal with Hwanmilu in the first place. Do you understand? This isn’t just for other people.”

A fight of deception and being deceived.

Those fights where the mind takes precedence over the fist, and where the pros and cons of the outcome are calculated.

That must be the way to live as a middle-aged person.

“Ah! You’re saying that I should look around here and there, do some calculations in my head, and be nervous that the enemy might have set a trap. If the enemy looks too strong, I should dodge them. Is this the kind of strategy you’re talking about?”

“What, what did you say?”

Jegal So-hye opened her mouth and stopped Samuhyeok, who was about to rush in.

“But it doesn’t hurt to be careful. If you need help from the Murim Alliance, it would be courageous to reach out.”

Why don’t you understand this woman’s heart?

You’ve always been friendly to me.

She is also a woman who knows a little bit about the fate that I have.

“Thank you for your words. But this is my fight.”

And then he turned his gaze to Samuhyeok, who was still grumbling.

“No matter how good a plan you make, if you don’t have the courage to put it into action, what’s the point? The warriors of our Beast Palace are doing what the Murim Alliance should have done long ago. Isn’t that right?”

“… … .”

“We have our own way of fighting. So all you have to do is watch.”

No matter how noble your martial arts skills are, what’s the point if you don’t step forward when you need to?

Because the timing was bad, because the opponent might have set a trap, because it was a fight that would only result in loss… … .

They’re all just excuses.

Excuses for cowards.

I left the two people behind, unable to find an answer.

“Thank you!”

“yep.”
