Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 438

The division of the group of heroes (5)

When darkness had fallen.

A group of people left the Cheonmasingyo camp and moved under the cover of darkness.

They passed the Southern Army’s camp and approached the hordes advancing from Guangdong Province.

Those from Guangdong drew their weapons and aimed arrows at them when they suddenly appeared in the middle of the night.

But soon after they revealed their faces, the commotion died down a little.

“I am Cheongmok from Cheongseong. I have something to tell Nanyang Jinin and the Jin clan head, so I have come here in person.”

This was also because there were only five of them, and they were all from the Cheongseong faction, including Cheongmok Jinin.

Although the people of the time were saying all sorts of things about Cheongseong joining hands with Cheonmasingyo, Cheongseongpa was originally a prestigious political faction belonging to the Gupa Ilbang.

Just like the Gwangdong Jin family belonging to the Seven Great Sects, or the Haenam faction belonging to the Gupa Ilbang.

It was also for this reason that Cheongmok Jinin stepped forward as an envoy.

If we sent a master of the Cheonmasingyo, there was a risk that problems would arise before proper negotiations could be held.

‘Dokgo-ryong. If we let him go, who knows what will happen. Baekwoonhak, too, seems to think he is better than Dokgo-ryong, but it’s a shame that they are evenly matched.’

Rather than sending those two crazy masters away, it was better for him to step forward. Here, the Qingmok Jinin volunteered to step forward.

One, no matter how famous he is as a political leader, he can’t just be let in at a time like this.

“I will report to you both, so please wait here for a moment.”

In response to the words of the Jin family’s military leader who was in charge of the garrison’s border, Jin-in Cheongmok nodded willingly.

And after a while.

“Please come inside.”

With permission from the leadership, someone came out from the center of the garrison and guided him.

Following the man’s instructions, Jin-in Cheongmok entered the temporarily set up barracks and took a lottery ticket.

“It’s been a long time, Gaju, Jang Moon-in.”

“It’s been a long time, Cheongmok Jinin too.”

“Where did you get such a good elixir? Your eyes have become brighter than I’ve ever seen before. Hehehe.”

Nanyang Jinin responded calmly, and Jingyu joked about Cheongmok Jinin’s advanced level that was beyond recognition.

After some light conversation to lighten the mood, Jin-gyu asked with a serious expression.

“But, what are you doing at this ambitious hour? The Lord Nodo who should be in the north.”

To that question, the Qingmok Jinin answered honestly.

“I’m sure the Lord and the Chieftain have heard the news, but the Eastern Army has begun to move.”

Jin-gyu clicked his tongue slightly as if he felt regretful, and Nanyang Jin-in made an expression that said, “It was meant to be.”

Thanks to their reactions, Cheongmok Jinin could tell that the news had not yet reached them.

I wasn’t regretting saying something useless.

Cheongmok Jinin thought that if he tried to gain an advantage by deceiving others, it would only damage mutual trust and increase the chances of problems arising in the future.

“Because of this problem, I came here to form a proper alliance. To be exact, at least a temporary alliance until we can destroy the Han Dynasty.”

Jin-gyu tilted his head and answered the words of Cheongmok Jin-in.

“Hmm. If the Eastern Army had moved, we might have to go block Guangdong right away, but is there a reason to reveal that and propose an alliance?”

“If it’s an alliance, shouldn’t there be at least a minimum of trust? Also, I believe that the two of you wouldn’t make such a foolish choice.”

When Cheongmok Jinin did not beat around the bush and used blunt language, Jin-gyu snickered and let out a faint laugh.

“It’s a stupid choice. Well, it’s funny to go fight the Eastern Army while leaving the Southern Army behind. And that too while holding the ball in your hand.”

Jin-gyu and Nanyang Jin-in also knew that if they just joined forces with the Cheonmasingyo, the Southern Army would be finished.

If we left the Southern Army alone because we didn’t trust each other, it was bound to cause big problems later on.

However, problems still remained.

“However, it doesn’t seem like a good idea if we take a joint attack and use the solo attack alone.”

The question is whether one can believe in the Cheonmasingyo religion.

When Jin-gyu asked in a similarly explicit manner, Jin-in Cheongmok responded with a smile.

“That is why I have come to see you. I will not return to the Cheonmasin Sect camp until the Southern Army is defeated. I will attack the Southern Army here with you two, and if the Cheonmasin Sect uses trickery, I will gladly fight alongside you.”

Jin-gyu didn’t say anything stupid like, “How can you believe that?”

Because Jin-gyu and Nanyang Jin-in were here together. Even though Cheong-mok Jin-in’s skills had improved by leaps and bounds, he wasn’t strong enough to deal with the two of them alone.

If the Cheonmasingyo were to use some trickery, they could just use the Cheongmok Jinin as a hostage.

The Qingmok Jinin also knew this fact and that is why he came here so boldly.

“Very well. Then when do you plan on attacking the Southern Army? As you know, we don’t have much time.”

“There’s no need to worry. Tomorrow at dawn, the Heavenly Demon Sect will be moving immediately.”

Nanyang Jinin, who had been quietly watching their conversation, frowned and asked.

“But if the Master of the Blue Tree remains here, who will convey our wishes?”

To that question, the Qingmok Jinin answered.

“Whether you two accept it or not, we plan to invade at dawn tomorrow.”

“Ugh… .”

“I don’t know whether to call it brave or reckless.”

Jinin Cheongmok smiled awkwardly at the reaction of the two, who were both from the same sect and still had mixed feelings about the Cheonmasingyo.

“That’s true.”

Whether Dokgo Ryong was brave or reckless, honestly, even the Blue Mok Jin-in had no idea.

Early in the morning the next day.

The Southern Admiral, who had been trying hard to push away his anxiety and fall asleep, suddenly opened his eyes to a noise coming from outside the barracks.

“Wh, what’s the fuss about!”

At his shout, the adjutant who had just arrived at the command barracks answered.

“Hey, I heard that the Cheonmasingyo guys are on the move!”

“What!?”

The Southern Admiral quickly got up, put on his armor, and left the barracks.

When I climbed up onto the platform, I saw the soldiers of the Cheonmasingyo sect standing in orderly formation in the early morning sunlight.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Soon, the sound of drums rang out and the men began to advance towards us.

“Archers! What are the archers doing?”

“Send the shieldmen to the front quickly!!”

The Southern Army commander, whose face had turned pale, quickly gave instructions, and the soldiers and commanders who had just woken up from their sleep ran around with pale, exhausted faces.

The hail of arrows fired by the archers who had not yet regained their senses was not very threatening, and soon the soldiers of the Cheonmasingyo religion arrived at the southern army’s camp, which had not yet been properly organized.

For over two weeks, a makeshift wall made of stones, wood, and mud protected the Confederate soldiers, but the makeshift wall had its limits.

In addition to that.

bang!!

The appearance of a veteran who could shatter the barrier with just one swing of his sword was truly a disaster.

“Hahahaha! Is there no one who can stop this poisonous dragon!!”

Absurdly enough, the commander in chief was slaughtering enemy soldiers at the front line.

“Usagi! Are you so excited that you want to die!?”

While scolding Dokgo Ryong, Baek Woon Hak was also diligently throwing out his secret weapons at the front line.

Although he was pointing out Dokgo Ryong’s recklessness, the truth was that he was uncomfortable with the attention being focused on him.

Because the people who were supposed to be in command were all running wild on the front lines, the actual task of commanding the troops fell to Yang Guang, a former Gansu provincial commander.

“Send the right and left wings!! Aim for the enemy’s left and right flanks!! The enemy commanders must not miss a single one!!”

Thanks to the efforts of the two masters and Yang Guang’s command, the Southern Army’s battle lines began to slowly crumble.

“What are you guys doing!! Abandon the collapsed wall! Isn’t there an additional wall built in the rear! Re-establish your camp there!!”

While the Southern Commander was giving orders in a voice filled with evil.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

From behind, the sound of drums resonated continuously.

The Southern Admiral felt an inexplicable sense of ominousness.

Because it felt like a distant sound, even though it was from the friendly side.

Immediately afterwards, the adjutant’s shout made his anxiety become reality.

“Admiral!! The southern rebels are also attacking!!”

Even a group of weightlifters from Guangdong Province joined the attack.

Among those who came from Guangdong, there were not many with military backgrounds, so the offensive was not as orderly as that of the Tianma Sect.

However, the Southern Army’s attention was already turned to the north.

Above all, there were three skilled soldiers there who could tear apart the makeshift barriers the Southern Army had built like sheets of paper.

The Southern Army Admiral turned his head to the rear and saw Jin Gyu, Nanyang Jin In, and Cheongmok Jin In running wild on the front line.

In front of the clubs and swords they brandished, being a barrier or soldiers felt meaningless.

The Southern Admiral, who had his eyes tightly shut, turned his head again and looked straight ahead.

“Hahahaha! Come at me harder!”

“Look at the splendid craftsmanship of this body!”

There were two more guys running wild there.

A few days later.

The news of victory that rang out in Sacheon began to spread to Shaanxi Province as well.

“In order to stabilize southern Sichuan and Yunnan Province, we have left behind 10,000 troops led by Qingchengpa and Yang Guang, and Wu Shi and Seon Gyo Wonju are leading the remaining troops and coming to Shaanxi.”

Ilmok sighed in relief at Jin Ha-yeon’s report, nodded, and gave the order.

“I will move the troops north.”

It wasn’t like Ilmok was operating the unit as he pleased.

It was something that had been agreed upon since Jong-ri-chu sent a letter saying that he would tease Myeol-a-geol’s envoy with his three-inch tongue.

After clearing out the southern army of Sacheon, the unit led by Ilmok will head north as soon as reinforcements arrive.

Ichimoku looked north with an expression as if he was being chased.

‘We have to move as fast as possible.’

The six death row inmates, Jong-Ri-Chu, were using their excellent skills to buy time, but if their heads weren’t just for decoration, it would be well past time for them to be discovered.

* * *

When the troops led by Ilmok were heading to the northern border with news of victory in Sacheon.

In front of the fortress where Jongli Chu resided, about a thousand nomadic warriors were mounted on horses and were staring at the fortress walls as if in protest.

The tense atmosphere wasn’t just flowing along the castle walls.

Inside the fortress. The pavilion where Jongli Chu always faced Namguru.

There, again today, two men were sitting at a table and meeting.

“The Khagan has sent a letter. He has asked us to send an envoy to stay in our Myeol-a-geol territory until you send us the military provisions you promised.”

“… Since you are comfortable here, is there really a need for that?”

“I have spent more than ten days here, so shouldn’t the envoy of the Heavenly Demon Sect also spend some time in our Myeol-a-geol? Is there any reason why you can’t send an envoy?”

His expression seemed to ask if he had been deceiving us all this time.

Jong-ri Chu felt as if ‘it was meant to be’, but his face showed no sign of such emotion.

“Hahaha. Now that I think about it, that’s true. In many ways, I think it’s fair.”

“Hahaha. I’m so glad that you think the same way as me. If so, who would you like to send as your envoy?”

To that question, Jong-ri Chu answered without a moment’s hesitation.

“I will go myself.”

“Hmm? An envoy to secure an alliance. Is your name enough?”

To Namguru’s blunt question, Jonglichu answered with a foolish smile.

“Hahaha. I am the sixth disciple of the cult leader. So at this young age, I am in charge of this important northern border?”

A few days ago, I heard news that the Jin family and Hainan faction had rebelled in Guangdong Province.

Perhaps, sooner or later, the Southern Army would be reorganized, and the battle situation would turn in favor of the Cheonmasingyo.

So, at least, I had to buy a few days until that day.

‘I’m truly glad that I’ve been given the opportunity to buy some time, even with my limited skills.’

Even if it means losing one’s life.
