Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 404
Holy War (4)
A young man who attacked the enemy headquarters alone. Ilmok aimed his sword at the Western Army Commander.
“Are you the Western Army Commander?”
Only after Ilmok opened his mouth did the commanders emerge from the terrible silence and each draw their weapons.
The governor stretched out his hand to stop them and then opened his mouth.
“That’s right.”
“Let me ask you one last question. Do you have any intention of joining hands with us to attack Taikong?”
The governor found the man’s proposal particularly sweet.
But the old general cut down the temptation like a sword.
“How could a general guarding the border join hands with a foreign power?”
“Two hundred years ago, we too were part of the Central Plains.”
“Huh. Is that what you mean by bringing in the nomads of the north? Also, as a general of the empire, I have no intention of joining hands with the rebels. Above all, you don’t plan on just hitting Taekong-gong and ending it, do you?”
It was said that they could never join hands because they were aiming for the emperor.
“An incompetent emperor is nothing but a disaster to the people. Did you become a general to protect the people? Or did you become a general only to protect the emperor and the imperial family?”
“Only with an imperial family and an emperor can this vast Central Plains be stable. If there is no clear ruler, the Warring States Period will unfold again and countless people will fall into misery.”
As soon as the Western Army Commander finished answering, Ilmok clicked his tongue lightly.
“Tsk.”
The sound of the tongue at Ichimoku was a kind of signal flare.
A signal that the last negotiations had failed.
“Hit it!!”
At the same time, the generals surrounding the governor all rushed towards Ilmok.
Ichimoku looked at the two swords and spears flying at him from the front and the left and right sides at the same time, and moved his body with an indifferent expression.
It was a graceful movement, as if in sync.
He gently turned his body and passed the two swords with a swipe.
Crunch.
The general who had swung his spear from the front had the Sword of Ascension embedded in his heart.
Immediately after easily dealing with a veteran general who was not even a common soldier.
Ilmok frowned slightly.
– Hahahahaha! Okay, kill them all!
– Hey! I don’t need those bastards! Kill them all!
Because I started the battle without using the Extermination Soul Jade Field and without any luck, the side effect guys were on edge again.
Among them, the one that was particularly exciting was the side effect of the Violent Horn Mara Sword Technique.
– More! Kill more! Suck it in to your heart’s content!!
It was because of the blood that was sucked in through the Ascension Sword that pierced the general’s heart.
‘If we fight a few wars, we’ll quickly accumulate a lot of passion.’
As if he had read Ichimoku’s mind, the self of the Violent Soul Mara Sword Technique burst into laughter.
– Hahahaha! That’s really good news!
At the shout that was like a sledgehammer, Ilmok cried out inwardly.
Even though my level was high, I didn’t plan on getting eaten by that guy.
In addition to that.
‘I don’t have time to feed you right now.’
I had absolutely no intention of doing something crazy like absorbing blood using the unstable Soul Mara Sword Technique in the middle of a battlefield.
As soon as the blood energy was absorbed, it was used to form things like sword energy or strong energy.
Just like right now.
Crunch!
Using the blood energy absorbed by piercing the heart, Ilmok formed a strong energy and spun his body around again as if dancing, then he quickly chased after him from behind and swung his sword, slicing his body apart along with the sword of the general.
Ignoring the nonsense of the side effects, Ilmok swung his sword again while following the law.
Still, I wonder if all the practice I’ve done to the Extermination of the World’s Souls wasn’t in vain, as my internal injuries weren’t serious.
Thanks to that, it was a whisper at a level that could be reasonably ignored.
Maybe it was because the crazy side effect guys were killing everyone they came across as they pleased.
Crunch.
Immediately after another general’s head was cut off by a sword swung by Ichimoku.
The attitude that had wrapped around Kang-hwan flew towards Ilmok’s side.
bang!!!
Ichimoku, who had quickly formed a strong wall to block the attack, lightly clicked his tongue.
‘It’s going to be a little noisier for a while.’
It seemed difficult to kill anyone more until the Western Army Admiral who was wielding that attitude was dealt with.
Because of the great power transmitted through the Ascension Sword, my wrists felt sore.
“Ugh!!”
As the Western Admiral swung his stance again with a breath that seemed to give him strength, Ilmok narrowly avoided the blow with a light technique.
As he fought off the third attack by the Western Army Commander, Ilmok thought.
‘Is this one of the five great generals of the empire?’
As I had vaguely guessed from the time we started talking, the Western Army Admiral was also a master who had entered the Inhae-gyeong.
visor!
While exchanging a dozen or so blows with the Western Army Admiral, Ilmok calmly began to assess his opponent.
‘It’s simple, perhaps because it’s the military’s magic. However, it’s a bit different from the leader’s. If I had to be specific, it feels similar to Dokgo Gugeom?’
It felt more like a martial arts lesson for war than a battle between martial artists.
Ichimoku, who was trying to figure out his opponent, soon furrowed his brow slightly.
– You old man ignored my suggestion! Kill him now!
– I don’t need an old man!! Kill him quickly!!
– Why are you scared of someone weaker than you?
Perhaps it was because the killing was halted by the Western Army Commander. The side effect guys’ seizures became a little more severe.
Aside from that, the words of the Bokhonmara Sword Technique were true.
After dividing them into several groups, I found that although the Western Army Commander’s magic was strong, it was not superior to Ichimoku.
If we really have to be specific, is it similar to or even inferior to the leader Cheok Pae-myeong that we’ve already killed before?
It may be strange that a man who was a eunuch’s lackey was superior to a general, but it could be said to be the difference between a martial artist and a military general.
For a martial artist, it might be enough to just focus on martial arts, but for a military general, martial arts were just one of the necessary elements. In addition, there were many other things to worry about, such as strategy, tactics, training soldiers, and supplies.
In any case, there were several reasons why Ichimoku had a hard time against the Western Army Admiral, who was one or two steps behind him.
If the difference was overwhelming, then I wouldn’t know. If it was just a difference of one or two moves, then it would have taken dozens of moves to subdue them.
– You’re a coward! Hurry up and give in to your anger! Then your fear will disappear!
The side effects that have been making noise since earlier have been bothering us.
In addition to that.
‘Oh my, you’re really looking for an opportunity.’
After the battle with the Western Army began, the enemy forces that had formed a siege formation were the biggest obstacle.
Because the battle between Ilmok and the Western Army was progressing so quickly, the underlings were having a hard time intervening.
However, it was obvious that he would attack at any moment if he made a big move or stopped walking, showing an opening.
With the lynxes waiting for their chance from all sides and enemies within, Ichimoku felt dizzy.
‘Now there’s chaos everywhere.’
Ichimoku’s demeanor suddenly changed as he let out a sigh full of annoyance.
Pot!
Ilmok, who was moving around as if he was watching the liver and dealing with the Western Army Admiral, made a surprise attack on him.
As the Western Army swung its sword at him, Ilmok swung his Sword of Ascension in return.
visor!
The moment the swords of the swords met, the sword of the sword shook and rose up the path like a snake.
At the movement of the sword flying towards the finger holding the sword, the Western Army Admiral quickly turned his body back and retrieved the sword.
Pot!
Ilmok once again pursued the Western Army Commander and launched a light attack, and unlike before, he showed a movement focused on attack.
We need to deal with the Western Army Commander-in-Chief as quickly as possible so we can end this damn war.
In the past, Ichimoku had made a promise.
In this lawless world, I will not hesitate to kill to get my way.
However, that does not mean that it was okay for innocent people to die in the tens of thousands.
It was for the same reason that Ilmok went to see the Western Army Admiral and attempted a brief final negotiation.
If the Western Admiral boards the ship, there will be no need to continue this battle.
‘The longer I delay, the more people die.’
As Ilmok began to attack in earnest, the Western Army Commander began to feel a little dizzy.
Strange, dazzling movements and eye-catching illusions. And even a quick sword that cuts through in an instant.
The moment Ilmok swung his sword again, the Western Army Admiral, who had been pushed back by the enemy, swung his sword with a determined expression.
Instead of avoiding Ichimoku’s sword, he blatantly swung his sword towards Ichimoku’s neck.
The military tactics he had learned had the advantage of brute force, so he took the offensive even if it meant becoming a Donggwijin.
His intention was well-accepted.
The sword of Ichimoku, which was flying towards the Admiral’s weak point, changed course and blocked the Admiral’s stance.
bang!!
The moment when Attitude and the Sword of Ascension clash and enter into a contest of strength.
“Now is the time!!”
Those who had been anxiously watching the governor being pushed back and waiting for an opportunity rushed toward Il-mok all at once and swung their weapons.
Just before their weapons touched Ichimoku’s body.
Pot!
Ilmok took advantage of the sudden attack to deflect the governor’s attitude, and at the same time, he rolled around on the floor, riding on the force of the rebound.
It was a ridiculous technique for someone as skilled as me to use, but rather than laughing, the Western Admiral looked defeated.
The attitude of holding back until the last moment and then letting it go was aimed squarely at the side of the general who was swinging his sword from the rear.
“shit!!”
The Western Admiral stopped abruptly with a roar of anger, but his face was completely wrinkled.
Crunch.
In that short moment, his powerful swordsmanship had already cut his subordinate general’s side in half.
The Western Admiral, who had killed his beloved subordinate with his own hands, turned his head with an angry expression.
‘That bastard won’t be able to achieve anything!’
Because there were more than one or two weapons flying at him.
Rolling on the floor with the Nareotagon, it was impossible to block or dodge all of those attacks.
As he had expected, the bastard lay half-lying on the ground, unable to dodge even a single weapon.
If there’s just a problem.
‘Self-defense weapon?’
It would be more accurate to say that there was no need to avoid it.
The weapons that had attacked him were all blocked by a gray, translucent membrane that covered him.
Crunch.
Before he knew it, the sword of ascension he had brandished while lying face down on the floor was lodged in the side of the Western Admiral.
It was an attack that took advantage of the brief moment when the Western Army Commander, who was about to attack his allies, flinched.
“Tsk.”
Even though his intended gamble paid off, Ichimoku frowned.
‘My internal energy is being completely drained away.’
It was a technique I had practiced several times after seeing Hwang Bo-ak unfold it, but I rarely used it in actual combat.
It was because the internal energy consumption was so severe.
“Yes… you!!”
Was it because of the pain from the piercing wound in his side? Was it because he had killed his subordinate general with a single blow?
The Western Admiral, with his side pierced, let out a roar of evil and swung his stance again.
Unlike other generals, the attitude of the Western Army Commander was filled with a fierce power that could shatter the spirit of self-defense.
However, no matter how strong the attack is, it is useless if it cannot reach the target.
Ichimoku boldly let go of the Sword of Ascension and rolled on the ground once again, narrowly avoiding the attack.
“Coolook… .”
The wound on his side widened further as he swung his sword recklessly, and the Western Admiral, whose intestines were torn apart, fell to one knee, coughing up blood roughly.
Strangely enough, even though the wound was gaping open and his torn internal organs were clearly visible, not a single drop of blood flowed from his side.
It was because of the Ascension Sword that was greedily sucking the blood of the Western Army Admiral.
As Ichimoku quickly got up and reached out for the Sword of Ascension, the Sword of Ascension slipped out of the Admiral’s side and was sucked into his hand.
