Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 426
Old people don’t die (1)
A large army of just over 60,000 men left Angang and advanced eastward.
Half of the 15,000 soldiers who joined from Korea and China.
The soldiers from Shaanxi, not Gansu, were confused.
“In the dark night! In the pitch-black night! I set out to find the dawn!”
“Oh, Heavenly Horse! I thank you! For giving us light!”
It wasn’t because of the hymns ringing out from all directions.
Because when I originally traveled from Xi’an to Hanzhong, I had the experience of singing hymns while moving.
Those who separated in Xi’an.
They were from Shaanxi just like them, but they ended up going to Angang.
It was because of their changed appearance.
The comrades who had clearly treated the soldiers from Gansu as fanatics or crazy people had now turned into the same soldiers from Gansu.
“Listen carefully. Your Majesty is a god. No, he is the messenger of god.”
“When he says, ‘Let there be light,’ there is light. Do you understand?”
“If you don’t understand, just memorize it.”
The soldiers of China and Korea felt dizzy when they saw a group of people who had been sane until recently become half-mad.
I felt like I had done something wrong by taking some group medicine in Angang.
Since there had been no fighting between Korea and China, it was a madness they could not possibly understand.
Of course, I had heard that the troops led by the left wing in Ankang had never lost a single battle in the Battle of Susong, but I wondered if it was worth praising them like that.
But three days later.
They witnessed it.
Why did these people, who were fine until recently, collectively go crazy?
They set out from Ankang and entered Hubei Province, and soon arrived near Yunxian, where two armies were facing each other.
One side consisted of about ten thousand troops dressed in government uniforms, while the other side was a mixture of various uniforms and appeared to be smaller in number than their opponents.
Looking at the clothing of those who looked like they were in a mess, they were wearing the clothing of the Zhuge family. They were beggars of the open world. They were wearing the uniforms of the shamans. In addition, they were wearing various, unified clothing.
After determining the enemy, Ilmok immediately launched a light attack toward the enemy, and Ilmok’s men followed suit.
“Waaaaaaah!!!!”
“The left-hand man is leaving!!”
The soldiers screamed in frenzy as they saw the commander-in-chief, Ilmok, running out of the unit.
For the soldiers from China and Korea, it was a sight that was difficult to understand.
It was not unusual for the most important commander to be at the forefront.
Having spent some time in China and having worked with a crazy commander-in-chief who only cared about charging and fighting, it wasn’t all that surprising.
I was just half-absorbed by the strange reactions of the soldiers from Angang.
“Light!! It’s light!!!”
They turned their heads to follow the shouts of someone from all over the place, and their gaze caught sight of the strange spheres formed on the left monk’s hands.
And then.
bang!!!!
The soldiers who had been absent-mindedly observing the situation realized why all the soldiers who had gone to Angang had turned into fanatics.
A huge explosion accompanied by intense light.
The left-handed man who had created such a terrible disaster that it seemed unacceptable to humans immediately let out a shout filled with his internal energy.
“Those who throw down their weapons and surrender will be spared!!! Those who resist to the end are henchmen of the corrupt eunuchs, so kill them all!!”
As the commander shouted this, he charged towards the enemy again, and a mad 60,000-strong army followed him.
For the government troops who were in the midst of a standoff with the enemy, it was literally a bolt from the blue.
Following the 60,000 strong army suddenly emerging from the side, there are also new techniques that make you wonder if something a human could possibly do.
Then, a force of 60,000 men began to charge toward them.
“Hit it!!”
Zhuge Liang, who was facing off against the government troops, also quickly gave instructions to his soldiers.
Enemy forces were advancing simultaneously from the side and front. Seeing the soldiers whose morale was already in shambles, the commander leading the government troops shouted.
“All forces, retreat!!”
Even the commander, as soon as he shouted, was the first to start running away without looking back.
In addition to the overwhelming numerical difference, the battle was bound to be one-sided because the commander was the first to retreat.
No, it wasn’t even something you could call a battle.
About half of them fled as soon as the commander gave the order, and the other half failed to escape and simply threw down their weapons and surrendered. Only about two thousand people were killed or seriously wounded.
Even the majority of them did not die or get injured in the fight, but rather, they got entangled in each other while running away and throwing away their weapons, and suffered unfortunate accidents such as being stabbed by weapons or being run over by people. Excluding those who were swept away in the Ilmokmok-style battlefield that was set up to seize the initiative.
The 60,000 soldiers who had achieved a great victory without even putting up a proper fight were even more motivated and began to sing hymns like crazy.
“Gwang! Myung! Myung! Cheonmashin! Kyogyo!”
At that moment, as they crossed the battlefield filled with hymns, several people hurriedly approached Ilmok.
Zhuge Liang and the Taegeuk Sword Master. And it was King Jie.
They came running barefoot to greet us as if they were honored guests, welcoming us with open arms.
“Welcome, Your Majesty!”
“It was truly an amazing feat!”
“How on earth did you learn such a divine skill?”
To the last question of the King, Ichimoku smiled faintly and answered.
“After the fight with the Thousand Blood Gangsi, I felt that this was not enough, so I started training.”
“Huh. With that kind of technique, it seems like even that Shin Seung could be seriously injured.”
Taegeuk Sword Master said this with a look of wonder on his face.
The new techniques of Geulwang, Taegeukgeomseon, and Jegalmun were so amazing that it made me think that maybe they were stronger than the leader of the Ilmok clan, Wei Jinhak.
Meanwhile, Ilmok found the praise for Taegeuk Swordsman strange.
‘Not extinction, but serious injury?’
As if he had read Ilmok’s expression, Zhuge Liang quickly added.
“I understand the story, but Shin Seung. He survived the trap that we, Jegal Se, had prepared. He must have been seriously injured at the time, so he was out of the house for a few days, so I think that’s why Taegeuk Sword Master Seon-saeng made that comparison.”
Only then did Ilmok realize how much of a monster Shinsung was and he smiled bitterly.
After thinking for a moment, Ichimoku sent a message to the three.
– In fact, the technique is not yet complete. If that Shin Seung is truly a monstrous master, it would be difficult to use this technique on him.
Ilmok gave them a rough idea of the weaknesses of the Mysterious Soul Jade Seal.
It would be bad if the weakness of the Mysterious Soul’s Jade Sword were widely known, but since it had already been used several times in Ankang, it was highly likely that the enemy would have noticed it by now. Therefore, he wanted to reveal it to his own forces in advance.
However, it was only relayed to the commanding officers out of concern for the morale of the common soldiers.
“this….”
King Geulwang, who had a look of regret on his face for a moment, quickly changed his expression and shouted while pointing to his surroundings.
“Still, thanks to you leading and joining us, we can finally stop these damn guys!”
The people that the King was pointing to were those who were singing hymns at the top of their lungs from all directions.
“What does that mean?”
When Ilmok asked in a questioning tone, Jegalmun calmly explained the whole story.
“You must have already heard the news that the martial artists and the government are moving together. The problem was the number of enemies. The central army and the martial artists, there were close to 80,000 of them, and they were split into units of tens of thousands, so we couldn’t stop them all by ourselves.”
The total force of these people included the Cheonmasin Church and the Wudang faction, the Zhuge family and Gaebong, and even some of the government troops from Hubei that Zhuge and the Wudang had brought in.
Jegalmun explained that although the number had increased with the addition of Hwangbo Se-ga, the number of troops remaining in Mt. Mudeung was barely enough until a few days ago.
If only it were Mercury. Now, with just a little over two thousand in number, it was impossible to stop the scattered eighty thousand troops from slaughtering only Yang.
“These vile men are moving along the road, slaughtering innocent people they see along the way, splitting them into units of tens of thousands.”
When King Jie shouted in a suggestive tone to help Zhuge Wen explain, Zhuge Wen nodded and added:
“The leader who recovered from his wounds headed north with the Eunwigakju and Gyomagakju. Also, the Goyangsegaju, the Madogwanju, and the Hwangbogaju led their men and soldiers to the south.”
It was said that they were operating three units, each of about 7,000 men. The problem was that the enemy was divided into eight units, so there were five holes.
“Then we will have to divide this 60,000-strong force into several units and operate them.”
At Ichimoku’s words, who had grasped the situation, Jegalmun nodded.
And just as Zhuge Liang was about to open his mouth to say something, someone pointed to the south with their hand and shouted.
“It’s a signal!!”
At that shout, Zhuge Liang’s expression, which had turned his head toward the south, crumpled without warning.
Ichimoku also turned his head with a puzzled look, and saw red, smoky smoke rising from the mountains far to the south.
“What does that signal mean?”
“It means that a god appeared over there.”
Since Shen Sheng was the most dangerous enemy, Zhuge Liang came up with a plan.
As a top priority, a rule was established that any unit that encountered a new enemy must send a signal without fail.
In addition, Zhuge Liang gave instructions to leave behind those with excellent stealth skills at regular intervals while operating each unit, so that they could be prepared to transmit the signal.
Ilmok opened his mouth with a serious expression at Zhuge Liang’s brief explanation.
“I will head south right now.”
* * *
Just as local warfare was taking place in the areas that could be considered the borders of Shaanxi, Hubei, and Henan, there were those who entered Sichuan through Chongqing.
They consisted of only about a hundred people, and they traveled mainly along roads where there were few people.
They moved for several days, avoiding the eyes of the Cheonmasin Church Alliance. They finally entered Qinghai, and after moving for several more days, they were able to cross Qinghai and arrive at Xingang.
And when they arrived in Xinjiang, they revealed their true colors.
“Everyone living here is a conspirator. Stop at every village you see along the way and slaughter everyone you come across.”
At the order of the commander of the Royal Guard, Mo Gyu-pil, the hundred or so Royal Guards that followed him saluted and responded.
“Jeonmyeong!”
With every step they took, a path was created that was stained with blood and screams.
They massacred three villages in just two days, raided the homes of the residents there to secure emergency food supplies, and continued on to new villages.
And around noon on the third day, Mo Gyu-pil, who had discovered the fourth village, went forward at the forefront and gave the order.
“Don’t leave a single one alive!”
“Jeonmyeong!”
Once again, blood and screams filled the town.
“Oh, please spare the child….”
Mo Gyu-pil thought as he knelt down and cut off the dirty weightlifter’s neck, then wiped the dirty weightlifter’s blood that had splattered on his cheek.
‘I guess it’ll be fine if I just time my exit well.’
It was a dangerous mission that could have been perceived as a waste of time at first, but Mo Gyu-pil’s face was filled with composure.
Compared to the information that his classmates had obtained through the letters sent to the Cheonma Sect in the past, all of the Cheonma Sect’s masters were already fighting in the Central Plains.
It meant that Xinjiang was no different from an uninhabited area.
Mo Gyu-pil took steps to kill the child that his father had tried to protect.
And just as he was about to swing his sword at the child, a voice from one of the royal guards was heard calling out for him urgently.
“Comrade Commander!!”
Mogyupil frowned and turned his head to see several carriages approaching the village.
“Hehehe. Those who are destined to die have come to me on their own.”
Since killing a child was not difficult anyway, Mo Gyu-pil walked towards the carriage with the royal guards.
And soon, people began to get off the carriage that had arrived near the village.
“???”
Most of those who got off the carriage were elderly.
“Where is this?”
“Where is it! It’s the headquarters! But who was I?”
“Mom. I’m hungry. Mom. Where did you go?”
“Sniff sniff. Where does the smell of blood come from? But, what was the smell of blood?”
They were all old people with mental disorders.
While Mo Gyu-pil and the Geumuiwi were laughing in vain.
The two old men were the last to get off the carriage.
Mo Gyu-pil’s expression, which had been laughing in vain, changed.
One of them seemed to be a sorcerer, as he was holding a staff and a talisman with some sort of spirit attached to it, while the other old man seemed to be a skilled warrior of a similar caliber.
Above all, unlike other old people, the two old people had clear eyes.
At that moment, the old man who looked like a master let out a shout full of inner strength.
“Wake up!! The royal bastards are here!!”
Immediately after the old man mentioned the royal family, the eyes of the demented old men who had been babbling nonsense became clear.
“conflict!!!”
“How dare a dog of the royal family enter the headquarters of the Great Heavenly Demon Sect!!”
“As long as this Red Tiger Leader lives! Not a single one will be able to escape from here!!”
Strong, fierce lions that were hard to believe were from old people burst out from all over, and their eyes were filled with a fierce gaze filled with hostility and murderous intent.
