Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 401

Holy War (1)

bang!!!

Just after the world was bathed in light with a huge explosion.

Ilmok, who had regained some of his eyesight and hearing, pulled out his Ascension Sword and shouted.

“All troops! Charge!!”

While inside, completely different thoughts were coming to mind.

‘Whew. Still, it seems like the training I’ve been doing so far has had some results.’

While he was staying in Nanju and organizing the rear, Ilmok was not just working.

During that time, Ilmok would leave Nanju once or twice a day and practice the Mysterious Soul Jade Field in a remote place.

Since I had left all the physical work to others anyway, I had plenty of time to practice.

Thanks to that, at least now I don’t suffer serious internal injuries from spreading the World-Destructing Soul Jade Field.

Of course, it still took a year to unfold, and it was equally as painful to feel a deep sense of exhaustion as a whole generation of internal energy was lost in an instant.

While running at the forefront, the sight of the enemy troops in disarray caught my eye.

‘Still, it’s fortunate that the demonstration of force worked to some extent.’

It was unfortunate that the commander’s persuasion did not work, but at least the worst seemed to have been avoided.

The reason why the Ilmok and Sibi came out with the commander was because they had this in mind from the beginning.

If the persuasion fails and a battle breaks out, to seize the initiative by unfolding the Annihilation of the World field from the start.

It takes a long time to unfold, and since it is a half-baked martial art that cannot distinguish between friend and foe, it will be useless once a melee begins.

Rather, it was decided to start off with a big blow and use it to lower the enemy’s morale.

In addition to that.

“Heavenly Horse has arrived!!”

“Manmaangbok!!!”

“Destroy the enemies!!!”

“God is with us!!!”

It might also boost the morale of our allies.

‘At this point, I guess I’ll at least try to fight.’

Battle of Oman and Palman.

In fact, at first glance, it seemed like a battle worth fighting, as the difference in numbers wasn’t that great.

But in reality, that wasn’t the case at all.

The enemy’s force consisted of 80,000 soldiers who had been steadily training in the border area, but on this side, more than half were reservists who were engaged in livelihood work.

If they had not done something to encourage the cult, there was a risk that the civilians who had come to help the Cheonmasin Church would have died a miserable death.

‘God is with you…’

As they arrived right in front of the enemy camp, Ichimoku smiled faintly at the shouts of someone behind him.

I didn’t really like being a cult leader.

But, if only they could believe in themselves and overcome their fears.

As long as it could win the battle and reduce casualties on the allied forces, that kind of pseudo-religious leader thing was something he could do at any time.

Now that they had come to their senses a little, someone’s shouts, horns, and drums could be heard all over the enemy camp.

But it didn’t matter anyway.

Because the first step has already arrived right in front of the enemy camp.

As the distance got closer, all I could see was the enemy in front of me.

Ichimoku met eyes with the soldier standing in front of him.

A look of terror.

“Eek.”

Still, perhaps because he was a regular soldier, he moved as he had been trained even though he was gripped by fear.

He raised his shield to block the blow.

Crunch!

The soldier’s body was split in two along with his shield.

Then, just as he had been practicing, the soldier behind the shield bearer thrust his spear.

But his spear did not reach Ichimoku’s body.

Crunch!

In an instant, the sword swung by Ichimoku cut off the head of the soldier who had thrust his spear.

Ichimoku swung his sword with minimal movement, and every time a silvery trail wove through the air, someone’s head was cut off.

Following the graceful movements of the swordsman, a very small blood vessel was created.

Pot!

Following this, three women burst into the enemy lines.

It was Jin Ha-yeon, Hyuk-ryeon Seon-ah, and Joo Seo-yeon.

Crunch!

Kwajik!

Every time Hyukryun Seon-ah and Ju Seo-yeon swung their claws and spears respectively, a hole would often be pierced through someone’s body along with an eerie noise.

A thin stream of blood was flowing from the corner of Jin Ha-yeon’s mouth.

She was wounded in the process of protecting the group from the aftermath of the World-Destruction Spirit Jade Sword that Ilmok had unleashed.

This also ended in internal injuries because it was blocked from the outskirts rather than the center of the explosion.

But this level of internal injury alone wasn’t enough to stop her.

Every time Jin Ha-yeon swung her arms as if dancing, the soldiers around her froze and died.

The three women followed Ilmok and made the blood trail even longer, but it was a very small path compared to the number of enemies.

Before we knew it, we had found ourselves surrounded by enemy forces.

If the war had been fought with just those four, that’s what would have happened.

but.

“Assist Confucius!!”

“Quick, clear the way!!”

While the four were clearing the way, a thousand or so soldiers of the Cheonmasingyo were running towards them, each performing lightness techniques.

“Shoot!!”

As the man, who appeared to be the enemy general, shouted, a hail of arrows followed.

However, the rain of arrows was only useful in slightly slowing down the charge speed.

The warriors of the Cheonmasingyo religion would swing their weapons to strike arrows, form a barrier to block them, or use lightness techniques to dodge arrows.

Among the thousand or so warriors, only a few were injured by the arrows.

“Shoot!!”

By the time the third hail of arrows fell, they too had already reached the noses of the shield bearers.

The small crack that had been created by the men and the women began to grow rapidly due to their joining.

Then, from far away, someone’s majestic shout erupted.

“Hold the line!!”

It was the shout of the commander who remained in the middle of the two sides.

While the warriors of the Heavenly Demon Sect were charging forward like cavalry, the soldiers of Gansu Province were also advancing, intoxicated by the madness of their faith.

“Shield bearers, raise your shields!!!”

The commander had to constantly shout with all his might to suppress their madness and get them in line.

Whenever he gave an order, the generals in each unit would repeat his orders and give orders to their soldiers again.

Wheeeeeeeek!!

To stop their advance, arrows rained down from the sky again.

Tititing!!

Arrows collided with the shields raised by the shield bearers, and a noise like hail fell echoed in succession.

puck!

Often, an arrow would slip through the gap and pierce someone’s flesh.

Even as arrows rain down from the air and an eerie sound of flesh being pierced echoes from somewhere.

thud.

thud.

Their advance did not stop.

“We must help the messenger of God!”

“Advance!!”

They just kept going forward, shouting like fanatics.

at that time.

bang!!!

A loud explosion echoed from the rear of the enemy camp.

It wasn’t the messenger of God they were looking for who had performed another miracle.

They don’t know it, but it was a skill that couldn’t be performed twice in the first place.

The noise was the enemy firing their artillery.

Large iron balls the size of a person’s torso flew through the air and landed on the heads of those advancing.

The shield bearers raised their shields as if to block arrows.

Crunch.

The heavy iron ball fell to the ground, crushing the shield and the man in one piece.

There was no explosion of the iron ball. All that happened was that a large iron ball crushed a person, and then rolled forward due to the inertia of its flight, breaking the person’s leg.

However, the sight of the body of the person right next to me on the battlefield being crushed by an iron ball was horrifying.

“Gulp… .”

Tak Ju-gang, who luckily survived the bullet that missed him, swallowed dry saliva without realizing it when he saw the crushed body right next to him.

The fear that I thought had disappeared was slowly growing in size.

‘Poetry, God is with you.’

As soon as he thought of that, his mouth moved involuntarily.

“Oh, I will fight against the wicked, my sin-free brother….”

Someone nearby responded to his trembling little lyrics.

“All, fight bravely against the evil enemy over there… .”

Their muttering began to spread quickly in all directions like wildfire.

thud.

thud.

“Gwang~myeong Gwangmyeong Cheonmasin~gyo!”

Before they knew it, the soldiers were all singing a hymn together and moving forward with their frozen steps again.

How long did it take for me to go forward, surrendering to the madness of religious belief?

Before they knew it, they had managed to get close enough to clearly see the enemy’s faces.

In Takjugang’s eyes, their terrified eyes were clearly visible.

It was a battle between a ragtag group of soldiers, more than half of whom were regular soldiers in the border area, and more than half were reservists, but the outcome went in the opposite direction.

Following the Ilmok and the women, the battle lines were broken by the warriors of the Cheonmasingyo.

“Light~ Light!! Cheonma Shingyo!!!”

Fanatics running through a hail of arrows and cannons, singing hymns with mad eyes and evil voices.

The enemy was a terrified rabble.

“Hit it!!!”

“Waaa …

They were warriors with a holy mission from God, so they had nothing to fear anymore.

* * *

The center of the Western Army Command camp.

The old man’s shrill scream echoed through the air.

“What the hell are you guys doing!! You’re just a bunch of arrogant people!! And more than half of you are conscripts!!”

He was a eunuch named Byeongpil, who had come to the Western Military Command to deliver the order of Taegonggong.

At the shout of the eunuch, the Comrade Do-dok could not hold back and fought back.

“Shut up!!!”

“What!?”

Even though his opponent was a first-rank official, Eunuch Gong glared at him as if he were going to kill him.

Before the argument between the two could get any more heated, the Western Admiral shouted at Eunuch Gong first.

“If you have time to talk nonsense here, take your old school friends out and stop them!”

The place the governor pointed to was the place where the Ilmok and women were running wild and slaughtering the soldiers.

They had already broken through the tents of the shield bearers and spearmen, and were running wild, digging in where the archers had set up camp.

Even as they ran wild and caused chaos by cutting through the road, the thousand or so Demonic Cult warriors who attacked following them were also slowly getting closer to the archers’ camp.

“I will definitely take care of this later!”

Eunuch Byeongpil shouted as if to warn them, glared at the governor and his generals, then turned his back and left.

“Classmates, follow me!!”

The governor opened his light sword and glared at the eunuch Byeongpil, who was leaving for the place where the melee was taking place.

He did not like the eunuchs, not only because they were his schoolmates and kept watch over and scheming the officials.

This was because Taekonggong had taken control of the Forbidden City and was manipulating state affairs.

But he was a soldier. A soldier who protected the empire and the royal family.

No matter how much he disliked Taekonggong, he could not join hands with foreign powers and plot treason.

The governor, who tried hard to suppress his anger toward Taekonggong, soon turned his head and looked around the entire battlefield.

Although he was losing the initiative to a young man’s shocking martial arts skills and was experiencing an unexpected hardship, the governor was not worried.

The soldiers he commanded were veterans who had been guarding the border for years, if not decades.

Even the number was as high as eighty thousand.

Although the warriors of the Cheonmasingyo were rampaging through the battlefield, their numbers were only a handful anyway.

“Tell the archers to retreat, and deploy the shieldmen and spearmen who remained in the rear to buy time with their comrades!! Also, the left and right wings should form an encirclement and annihilate the enemy main force!!”

The enemy was moving in a simple manner, like a ragtag group.

All they did was just charge in a straight line.

Even though the number was as high as 50,000, it was not the case that all 50,000 would rush in at once and arrive at the enemy camp at the same time.

The enemy was ignorantly lining up and charging towards our main force, so we just had to move our left and right wings to surround and annihilate their foolish march.

‘We’ll first wipe out the ragtag enemy main force, and then we’ll clean up those cultists running wild in our main force.’

If the main force that was supposed to support them is swept away, then in the end, only about a thousand people will be left.

No matter how great the masters were, their internal energy and physical strength could not last forever.

When the commander-in-chief gave his orders, the soldiers moved in unison.

The soldiers of the main force, consisting of four thousand men, moved busily here and there, forming a mound to withstand the enemy’s assault.

The troops on the left and right wings each advanced forward in reverse, taking up positions on the left and right sides of the reckless charging fanatics and preparing to attack them.

When everyone in the command center was thinking that the news of victory would soon ring out.

“Master!!”

Someone shouted in an urgent voice and pointed behind them.

“The northern barbarians are invading!!”

There, thousands of cavalrymen were charging forward, kicking up clouds of sand and dust.

At the forefront, an old man riding a huge black horse let out a roar filled with magnificent internal energy.

“Hahahahahaha! Anyone who is confident in their skills, come out now!! Let’s have a showdown with me!!”

It was Dokgo Ryong.
