Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 406
Extension (1)
The wave of surrender that started from the Western Army Command headquarters quickly spread to the left wing.
“At a glance, Confucius has cut off the enemy general’s head!!”
“Wow!!”
The soldiers of Nanju Army, who heard the news of victory, were so mad that they screamed loudly, so even if they didn’t want to hear the news, they had no choice but to hear it.
At the news of the death of the Western Army Admiral, the morale of the left-wing soldiers, who were already being attacked from the front and rear, fell into disarray.
Without missing a beat, the commander shouted with all his might.
“I will show mercy to those who lay down their weapons and surrender!!”
The commanders of the various garrisons took up the shout.
“Surrender!!!!”
“He who resists will not escape death!!”
Of course, the left wing generals did not just sit back and watch this happen.
“Don’t be fooled by the nonsense of fanatics!!”
“The governor is alive!! Take up arms and fight!!”
However, their cries did not last long.
Crunch!
An old man who had been running wild like a madman in the middle of the enemy army was dancing with his sword, looking for the screaming generals.
“Hahahahahahahaha!! Shout out louder! I will split the heads of all those holding weapons!!”
At the fearsome momentum of the Dokgo Dragon, the soldiers nearby were startled and often threw down their weapons.
Since defeat was already obvious, I didn’t even dare to fight back.
Following the main force of the Western Army Command, even the left wing was caught up in a wave of surrender.
The only place that was putting up a fight was the right wing of the Western Army Command.
“It’s not over yet!”
“What are you guys doing!! Take up your weapons!!”
“The Admiral is alive!! We must return to our base and protect the Admiral!!”
Since the right wing had not yet broken ranks, their morale had not fallen that much.
However, they were unable to push back the enemy as they had before.
“Wow!!”
“God is with us!!”
This was because the fanatics, who had become even more terrified after hearing the news of victory, continued to resist as if they felt no fear.
While the soldiers on the right wing were hesitating, unable to do anything.
Some of the soldiers of the Cheonmasingyo sect, who had suppressed the main force of the Western Army to some extent, were now advancing towards that place.
“The governor is dead!! Throw down your weapons and surrender!!”
The spear hanging behind Ichimoku’s back. Perhaps because of the governor’s head impaled there, a wave of surrender gradually spread to the right wing that had been resisting until the end.
* * *
Crunch.
After finally beheading the enemy general who was resisting.
“ha.”
Ichimoku sighed faintly.
There was no way to estimate how many people had been killed.
To exaggerate a bit, it seemed like he killed more people today than he had killed in his entire life.
Because of that, my whole body felt like it weighed a ton, and my throat was half-hoarse from shouting nonstop to persuade them to surrender.
But I couldn’t show myself as weak.
Because he could not bring down the faith and morale of those who believed he was a god and followed him.
While our troops, intoxicated by the news of victory, were shouting madly everywhere, and the surrendered enemy soldiers were trembling with fear in their eyes.
Ilmok and Bomu also walked confidently.
“Please call Commander Do and the head of the Baekwoonhak family. And the head of the Dokgoryong family. Tell them to prepare a table and chair in the rear. There is still a mountain of work to be done, so we should organize quickly.”
At Ichimoku’s instructions, the servants and warriors who had been following him bowed and dispersed.
After a while.
Ilmok, Dojihwisa, Baekwoonhak, and Dokgoryong sat facing each other around a round table and began to talk.
The first one to speak was the commander.
“The Nanju Army has estimated that about 3,500 of the 50,000 dead and 5,000 seriously injured. These are hasty estimates, so the exact numbers are not yet known.”
Ilmok had a bitter expression on his face.
In that short period of time, I felt like so many people had died. Even though it was an overwhelming victory.
“What about the enemy?”
“There were about 50,000 people who surrendered. Of those, about 7,000 were seriously injured, so I honestly can’t guarantee their survival.”
I had a rough idea of the number of friendly casualties when I heard that they were around 3,500, but when I heard that the enemy casualties were 30,000, I began to feel tired.
But now was not the time to be completely depressed.
“Send a letter to Nanju immediately and tell him to summon the female doctors and physicians in Gansu. Tell him to buy all the medicinal herbs and cloths needed for healing wounds from the pharmacy. Finally, buy all the poisonous liquor you can find from the barracks and inns.”
After giving instructions to the commander, Ilmok looked at Dokgo Ryong and Baek Woon Hak.
Dokgo Ryong had a bored expression on his face, and Baek Woon-hak was looking at him with a displeased expression.
“Lord Dokgo Ryong, Lord Baek Woon Hak. What is the damage situation for each of you?”
“Including the new religious leaders and nomads, there are seven dead and sixteen seriously injured.”
After Dokgo Ryong answered first, Baek Woon Hak opened his mouth.
“Among the Shinkyo’s followers, fifty-two died. Seventy-one were seriously injured.”
“Tsk. Even leading a thousand of the great sect’s warriors, you still suffer that much damage.”
When Dokgo Ryong clicked his tongue in disappointment, Baek Woon Hak answered with a blush on his forehead.
“We hit the enemy’s main force directly. If we had just aimed for the back of the enemy’s head as comfortably as you did, not a single one of us would have been hurt.”
“Hahahaha. As expected from someone who memorizes things, you have a lot of excuses.”
“Huh. As expected, he’s so shameless because he’s so idiotic. How could there be seven deaths when he was just aiming for the back of the enemy’s head and shooting arrows from afar? It’s obvious that he didn’t care about his subordinates and just recklessly charged forward.”
“What!?”
Normally I wouldn’t know, but this time, Dokgo Ryong was glaring because he was feeling a bit shaky.
As Baek Woon-hak pointed out, most of the deaths and serious injuries that occurred within the Samcheon Cavalry were due to carelessness.
These were the people who were hit by blind arrows fired indiscriminately by the soldiers on the left wing of the enemy army who were swinging their swords around without thinking.
The two heads of families who had not been on good terms since ancient times faced each other, and their bickering was never-ending.
“I don’t think now is the time to talk about that.”
As Ilmok tried to mediate between the two, the two heads of the household continued to fight with their eyes shut.
Soon, Baek Woon-hak realized that it was pointless to fight with the magpie and turned his head and spoke to Ilmok.
“Come to think of it, there were some of my classmates in the enemy main force. It was because of their rampage that the casualties increased.”
Dokgo Ryong snorted at those words, but Ilmok opened his mouth before him.
“What happened to them?”
“I killed more than half of them, but they ran away as soon as the commander died. I thought about chasing them, but since forcing the enemy to surrender was the priority, it was difficult to chase them to the end.”
“That was a good decision, my lord.”
After somehow hearing about the special circumstances and the damage, Ilmok opened his mouth again.
“First, I will lead the surrendered prisoners and return to Nanju. There, I will sort out the wounded who need treatment and those who will go to war, and then I will head to the next battlefield.”
At Ichimoku’s direction, they each dispersed to carry out their own tasks.
“joy.”
“Tsk.”
As Baek Woon-hak and Dokgo Ryong glared at each other, snorted, clicked their tongues, and left, Ilmok let out a faint sigh.
“ha.”
Then Ilmok turned his head and gave an order to the servants behind him.
“I’m sorry, but could you please stand guard for a moment?”
They too were exhausted from the arduous battle, but they answered with trustworthy smiles.
“Don’t worry.”
“We will prevent anyone from approaching.”
“Thank you.”
Ilmok immediately sat cross-legged and entered the Unkiyosang.
Although it was an internal injury, it was to deal with the remaining blood energy in the blood vessels.
At the end of the battle, there was no one who could really be called a master, so some of the blood energy he had absorbed with the Ascension Sword had not yet erupted and remained in his blood vessels.
As Ilmok directed his blood energy according to the essence of the Bokhonmara Sword Technique and led it to the middle battle, a laughter was heard from a corner of his head.
– Hehehehehe.
At the sound of the laughter of the violent soul swordsman, Ichimoku swallowed the arsenic inwardly.
‘Idiot.’
It seemed that he expected that his influence would increase as the number of people in the military increased.
‘As your internal energy builds up, you will develop your mid-battle skills and break through the ultimate demon in one breath.’
* * *
A few days later.
Nanju has transformed into a war zone in another sense.
Including the surrendered enemy forces and the seriously injured, the number was horrific when you add the lightly injured.
Of course, the doctors and nurses who were in Nanju, and even those working at the pharmacy, came forward, but there was a shortage of workers, so even four hands would not have been enough.
If there was any consolation, it was that they were summoning lawmakers from all over Gansu as they could.
Day after day, new members of the National Assembly and female doctors belonging to the Mireukmyungyo were gathering in Nanju to help with the work.
In addition, the medical skills of the Cheonmasingyo shone.
“Bring me more liquor! I need to distill it quickly and disinfect the wounds!!”
“A thousand and a sword!! And bring me more medicine!!”
The members of the Cheonmasin Church screamed at the top of their lungs. The medicine they were talking about was not an ordinary medicine.
The idea was to use the drug as a kind of painkiller.
The medicine previously used in the Central Plains and Cheonmasingyo was mainly focused on treating the internal organs using herbal medicine and acupuncture.
However, due to the influence of Ichimoku, the concepts of disinfection and painkillers emerged in the Cheonmasin religion, and surgical procedures naturally developed.
Because there were many people who got injured while practicing magic or fighting, the speed of development was even faster.
At this very moment, the technology that has been developed so far is shining.
* * *
While groaning in pain and cold sweat running down my entire body.
“Ughhhhhh.”
The soldier thought.
‘Am I going to die like this?’
I regretted my past self.
‘Oh, you’re crazy for me to go to war.’
He was not originally a government soldier. He was just a reserve force that came forward to help the Cheonmasin Church.
Even when I went to the battlefield, I was afraid, but I overcame that fear by singing hymns with my comrades.
It was the same on the battlefield. I was intoxicated by the divine power of Ilmok.
But when the war ended, all that remained was terrible suffering.
The pain that continued for several days was eating away at his spirit, and his burning faith was also fading.
Now, it was time for him to start feeling resentment towards the Cheonma Sect that had dragged him into the battlefield.
“I’m sorry I’m late. I had no choice because there were a lot of patients.”
A middle-aged man who appeared to be a member of parliament approached him and stuffed something that looked like ground herbs into his mouth.
“Ugh!?”
For a moment, I was taken aback by the rough touch.
“Huh?”
Intoxicated by the medicine, he fell into a half-dazed state.
A scene unfolded that was difficult to tell whether it was a dream or reality, and the boundaries between objects became blurred.
But I wasn’t completely out of my mind.
“Ugh.”
Occasionally, a sharp pain would surge from the injured area.
But at least compared to before I stuffed something into my mouth, the pain was bearable.
When I turned my head slightly while my mind was wandering, I saw the doctor doing something to the injured area.
“Huh?”
“Oh no. Don’t move.”
The congressman who said that quickly moved his hand and touched the soldier’s blood clot.
I was in a daze due to the effects of the medicine, and I regained consciousness a few times due to the pain that was rising up through the doctor’s hands.
Finally, as the soldier opened his eyes wide in excruciating pain, the doctor opened his mouth.
“Whew. Well, that’s fortunate, your details aren’t that bad.”
What kind of crazy talk is this? That horrible injury was nothing.
“Well, if it were like before, it would have been hopeless. But thanks to the knowledge that Confucius has given me, this is nothing now. So, when you wake up, thank Confucius.”
The soldier wanted to tilt his head, but the demon’s blood was still suppressed and he couldn’t move his head.
I just absentmindedly recalled the name Confucius.
‘Thank you, Confucius?’
Naturally, the divine presence that Confucius had displayed on the battlefield came to mind again.
That appearance that had been forgotten and even resented because of the excruciating pain.
But now I see that Confucius not only has the power to kill people, but he also has the power to save people.
‘Ahhh. As expected, Confucius is a messenger sent from God.’
The man who had been thinking such thoughts became dazed again as the pain gradually subsided.
The man with the demon’s blood on his face stared blankly at the sky.
The clouds were floating in the sky, and between the clouds, Confucius was walking and spreading light.
“Ah. The whole world looks like Confucius.”
Similar words were constantly echoing among the sick.
