Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 424
Local War (3)
Dokgo Ryong’s eyes were filled with fear as he approached Eunuch Cha.
The flames behind the eunuch’s back were reflected in his eyes.
However, to the already frightened eunuch Cha, the flames felt like a look of madness that had naturally emerged from Dokgo Ryong’s eyes.
‘Oh, I have to run away.’
Eunuch Cha’s brain, longing for life, went wild.
‘Yes! If you push them away with your sword and strong wind, you might get burned a little, but you won’t die!’
The moment when Eunuch Cha, who had reached a crazy conclusion, was about to throw himself towards the wall of flames.
“Die!!”
Before that, Dokgo Ryong swung his large sword and attacked Eunuch Cha.
Eunuch Cha quickly swung his sword and blocked the blow.
bang!!
He barely managed to block the first blow, but the terrible pressure transmitted through the clashing swords crushed Eunuch Cha’s body.
“Hahahaha! Stop this too!!”
Dokgo Ryong swung his sword like a madman.
A series of attacks that seem to have no regard for defense.
As the number of times I swung my sword increased, the power and speed I put into the sword also felt like they were multiplying.
visor!
“Ugh.”
Even though it was an offensive that ignored defense, Eunuch Cha did not dare to take advantage of the obvious opening.
visor!!
The eunuch who was pushed back again quickly turned around and threw himself towards the wall of fire.
“Where are you running off to!!”
As the enraged Dokgo Ryong repeatedly swung his great sword into the air, a swarm of energy flew towards him.
The eunuch had to dodge or block the blasts by throwing his body here and there.
Meanwhile, flames from all sides began to spread all over his body.
The eunuch, who was angry at this, raised his internal energy and shot a strong wind to push away the flames.
How long had I been dancing like a madman, pushing away flames from within a wall of fire or striking the swordsmanship of a poisonous dragon?
Finally, the eunuch Cha’s mouth opened as his breathing reached its limit.
“Phuhaat. Hoo.”
The moment he exhaled roughly and took another breath, a terrifyingly hot heat seeped into his throat and nostrils, digging deep into his lungs.
The terrible pain that burned his throat and lungs made Eunuch Cha scream without realizing it.
“Kuaaaaaaah!!”
Dokgo Ryong swung his great sword, forming a sword gang, aiming for the eunuch’s leg.
Wedge-shaped.
Crunch.
Eunuch Cha, whose left leg was cut off by Dokgo Ryong’s sword, fell to the ground.
The severed part was engulfed in flames and burned, so the bleeding stopped quickly.
The eunuch felt as if he would faint from the terrible pain. However, as the flames engulfed his entire body and he felt pain all over his body, his mind became clearer and clearer.
The eunuch lying on the floor opened his mouth wide.
I screamed, but no scream came out.
My throat and lungs were already burning and I couldn’t make a sound.
When Eunuch Cha was writhing in pain as his skin and internal organs were burning all over his body.
“Tsk. What a fitting end for a cowardly bastard.”
Dokgo Ryong clicked his tongue as he watched the bastard writhing in pain. It seemed as if he was disappointed that he couldn’t kill it with his own hands.
The eunuch’s body, which had been writhing and screaming, fell limp. Before he knew it, his entire body had been burned black as ash.
After confirming that his prey was dead, Dokgo Ryong withdrew his attention, turned around, and walked towards the village.
* * *
Meanwhile, at that time.
The heart of the Forbidden City in Beijing.
Various information from all over the Central Plains used to gather there, and the news that had been coming in recently was not very pleasant.
“These, these damn bastards are going to do it!”
It was the anger towards the two eunuchs and the commander-in-chief at the headquarters.
In fact, just two days ago, Taekonggong was praising them.
Because he was just killing time in Ankang and causing a shamanistic plot to take place.
Even when he heard the news that the two bastards in Ankang had sneaked out and driven out the Central Plains martial artists from the shaman’s house, he was delighted.
The thugs of the Central Plains were also beings that had to be eliminated from Taekonggong’s perspective.
However, the news of the great defeat that came from Angang was different.
Later, whether it was the Cheonmasingyo or the Central Plains thugs, the number of troops needed to finish off the survivors had decreased.
“Not only did we lose half of our troops, we even lost our lives!!”
I wanted to punish Eunuch Gong, who had led this incident, but I couldn’t punish him since he had already passed away.
Taekonggong knew that this incident was entirely due to Eunuch Gong’s misjudgment.
Everyone who brought the news, including the Commander-in-Chief and Eunuch Bang, was saying the same thing.
He also did not know that Eunuch Bang had betrayed Eunuch Gong and caused his death.
It was because everyone was afraid of Taekonggong.
As a result of being afraid of being caught by Taekonggong even a little, he shifted all the blame to the dead eunuch Gong.
“Does that mean that the Northern and Eastern armies have to move as well?”
The Western Army had already collapsed, the Central Army had also been annihilated, and there had not yet been any news of victory from the Southern Army.
The question of whether the remaining two governor-generals should be dragged into the war inevitably arose.
“We can just ignore the Japanese pirates managed by the Eastern Military Governor-General, but the Northern Military Governor-General is the problem.”
Taekong-gong clicked his tongue as he suddenly remembered the news that had been delivered several times from the Northern Army Command Headquarters for some time.
There was intelligence that a northern nomadic tribe that had recently grown significantly in power was occasionally sending cavalry to the northern border to monitor the area and then returning.
‘Tsk. It would be impossible for those dirty nomads to dare to take the Forbidden City. If the situation continues to go unfavorably, I guess we should consider moving the Northern Army as well.’
At the time when Taekonggong was making that decision alone.
A letter sent from Sacheon arrived at the Forbidden City.
It was a letter sent by Eunuch Cha. It contained a plan to slaughter civilians and take them as hostages in order to shake up the Cheonmasin religion that was locked up in the castle.
“Hehehehehe. Eunuch Cha is doing his job really well.”
Taekonggong, who was smiling contentedly, soon came up with an idea.
‘Other places should have moved like this too! Why are they all so stupidly sieging!’
Since it was a task to hunt down traitors, they were attacking places where traitors gathered.
However, there was an excellent justification written in Eunuch Cha’s letter.
There is a very good reason why those who did not fight the traitors are also traitors, so it is okay to just kill them all.
He quickly scribbled on a piece of paper and then shouted.
“Look here! Have this letter delivered to the governor and eunuch in the central army!”
* * *
A few days later.
After the crushing defeat in the siege, a letter from Taegonggong arrived at the central army’s camp, which had retreated further from Ankang.
Eunuch Bang and the Central Military Commander were deeply moved after seeing what was written in the letter.
“As expected, Your Majesty the King is a being whose wisdom reaches to the heavens!”
“Hahahaha. In all of heaven and earth, there is only one person higher than the Emperor, so isn’t that only natural?”
The content written there did not end with the massacre of innocent people.
There were also written instructions for leading the war in the future.
“I think we should withdraw the army to the rear for a while.”
First, additional troops will be recruited from the castles ruled by the central army.
“Then, the Admiral is gathering his troops. I will go to Hubei for a while.”
Secondly, there were instructions to form a false alliance with the Central Plains thugs who had been defeated by the shamans.
After the meeting, Eunuch Bang left the barracks and headed to Hubei, leading several of his classmates.
After traveling for several days, they arrived at the place where the Central Plains martial artists had set up camp.
“I am the eunuch Bang Tae-sul who came out of the coffin. He has a way to win the war against the demonic cultists, and he has come to speak with your representative.”
He briefly introduced himself and headed to a certain hall, guided by a martial artist.
There were Namgung Jin of the Namgung family, Yang Muja, the head of the Hyeongsan faction, the head of the Murong family, and Hyeonam, a divine monk of Shaolin.
The head of Shaolin was seriously injured by the shaman Jang Mun-in and was recovering, so Shin Seung was taking his place.
‘I never thought there would be such a monster hiding in the Central Plains.’
Eunuch Bang, whose eyes met Shin Seung’s, almost lowered his head without realizing it.
It was because it felt similar to when I first encountered Taekonggong.
“I heard the story. Is there a way to deal with those bastards?”
Eunuch Bang nodded at the rough voice of the monk, which sounded like cutting iron.
Whether it was because the voice was unpleasant to hear, Yang Muja or Namgung Jin, the head of the Mo Yong Se family, did not have very good expressions.
Perhaps, it was a matter of discontent with Shin Seung, who suddenly acted like the leader of the entire political faction.
“Our department is also having a hard time dealing with those guys. And the biggest reason we are having a hard time is because they are holed up in a place that is advantageous to Mercury.”
As Eunuch Bang opened his mouth, those gathered looked at him as if telling him to speak more.
“So, I came up with a plan to draw them out.”
“Huh. What kind of plan is this?”
“Why don’t we just pass by the place where they’re holed up and kill the traitors who’ve fallen for the cultists?”
“… Are you saying that we should attack those who have not learned martial arts?”
To Mo Yong-se’s question, Eunuch Bang shook his head.
“I haven’t learned martial arts, but I’m helping out the weightlifters. Aren’t they also weightlifters?”
Shin Seung nodded at those words.
“Now that I think about it, that’s true. If those who fall into the trap aren’t traps, then what are they?”
To drive out the men trapped in the mountains, they massacre innocent civilians.
It was a plan that I would not have dared to choose in normal times, even for reasons of legitimacy or prestige.
However, after much thought, everyone here eventually accepted the offer.
Having already lost many of their close friends in the successive battles, there was nothing left for them to see.
“But, did you come here just to tell that one story?”
When Shin Seung asked with a sharp gaze, Eunuch Bang swallowed his saliva and answered.
“I came here in person because simply striking down those untrained thugs is not enough. I understand that Your Majesty was pushed back by the combined attacks of the Demonic Cult Leader and the five masters in the last battle.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shin Seung’s stern aura overwhelmed him.
Eunuch Bang, who was overwhelmed by the momentum, had to quickly open his mouth.
“Well, on the other hand, if there were only two or three masters of the Demonic Cult, doesn’t that mean that the divine being would have killed them and still have some left over? We will make it happen for you.”
“???”
The third content in the letter sent by Taekonggong was exactly what Eunuch Bang was conveying now.
“We plan to split the government troops into several units soon. We plan to simultaneously attack and kill all the towns and cities where the rebels are gathered. If we do that, the rebels will have no choice but to split into several units and move to prevent this, right?”
The idea was that instead of waging a large-scale siege, they would split into several groups and fight local battles.
Shin Seung, who understood the meaning behind those words, showed interest.
“Are you saying that you want me to follow those government troops and kill those bastards that chased after them?”
“That’s right. If there are many enemy masters like this time, it’s okay for you to just step aside. However, if there are only a few, I ask that you punish them.”
The number of absolute masters who entered the Inhae Gyeong was overwhelmingly greater on the Demonic Cult side.
Thanks to this, even though there is a monster called Shinsung, they still haven’t been able to do anything about the Cheonma Sect.
However, if it changed into a local war, the story would have to be different.
“Hehehe. If it’s for the purpose of eliminating the Bastards, I am more than ready to join you.”
When Shin Seung expressed his intention to join, Eunuch Bang quickly controlled his expression.
‘Everything is according to the will of the Supreme Being!’
It wasn’t just that they formed an alliance with the martial artists to destroy the Cheonmasingyo.
In the end, local warfare is all about the composition of each unit’s troops.
Above all, since there were a lot of enemy masters, it was necessary to check or predict their movements and then continuously adjust the positions of friendly masters, including Shin Seung.
Naturally, the government will be responsible for handling that information and organizing the units.
‘I will gradually reduce your numbers together with the demon cult bastards.’
Eunuch Bang was someone who had no regard for the lives of ordinary soldiers who would die in the process.
“If you do that, I will ask you to take good care of me in the future.”
“Amitabha. We are the ones who need your help.”
The government and the martial arts world. It was the moment when two forces with different intentions began to board the same boat.
