Episode 439: The Wonder (1)
It was shocking news that awaited Ichimoku, who was leading ten thousand troops to the northern border.
“What do you mean? The sixth brother went north?”
“That, that… It is said that the Khagan of Myeol-a-geol ordered an envoy to be sent to prove the alliance.”
“Even so, that’s true. How could the six corpses go to such a dangerous place?”
“We tried to dissuade them, but the will of the vice-principal was so firm that we could do nothing.”
“Please kill us, we lose our lives!”
At the report of the Cheonmasingyo warriors, Ilmok unconsciously placed his hand on his forehead.
It was easy to guess why the six death squads had to step forward in person.
‘Damn it. If only you had come just a little bit sooner.’
If only the news had been delivered that the Southern Army had been defeated, there would have been no need for Yuk Sa-hyeong to volunteer to be captured as a hostage.
But it wasn’t a situation where I could just regret it.
“So, when did the six death squads set off north?”
It can’t have been that long since I heard the news after I came here.
As if to prove his prediction, the man in charge of the report answered quickly.
“About half a day has passed!”
Ichimoku breathed a sigh of relief at that answer.
If it had been that long, it was highly likely that they hadn’t yet reached the base of the Myul-A-Geol bastards.
“How many men came to catch the ball?”
“There were about a thousand people.”
“If you do, please get me ten of the fastest horses in the area. I will move with a minimum number of people to rescue the six soldiers.”
The unmanned reporting unit was startled and answered.
“Left-handed! No matter what, ten people are too few!”
“It’s dangerous if there are too many. Speed is important, but there’s also the risk that those who figure out our intentions will use the six soldiers as hostages. We can make them let their guard down by approaching them in smaller numbers!”
The unmanned unit that looked into Ichimoku’s eyes could tell.
As with Jongli Chu, it is impossible to stop Ilmok.
“I will follow the will of the Left Commander.”
The man walked briskly to carry out Ichimoku’s instructions.
“Miss Jin, please choose the five most skilled among those who came with us.”
“I will do so.”
Following this, Jin Ha-yeon also walked quickly, and after a moment, ten warriors rode their horses and left the border fortress.
There was Ilmok and four concubines, and five warriors of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
“Miss Jeong! Find the traces! If a thousand cavalrymen moved, there would definitely be traces left behind!”
“Yes, I will do that!”
Jeong-Hyeon rode a horse and used the Ghost Shrine to follow the trail made by a thousand nomadic warriors.
* * *
Somewhere in the northern plains.
A thousand warriors were riding on horseback, and among them were three men who seemed to be out of place.
It was Jong-Ri-Chu, O’Hallac, and James.
“There was no need for you guys to come along.”
When Jong-ri-chu spoke with an awkward smile, Oh-hal-rak answered with a determined expression.
“How could I let you, Lord Buwon, go to that dangerous place alone? Also, my tribe and I have received a favor from the Cheonmasin Church, so how could we turn away from that favor?”
Ohallak was truly prepared to die.
Even if he died, the tribe he originally belonged to would be able to prosper under the protection of the Heavenly Demon Sect. Ohallak thought that was enough.
But James was a little different.
‘If that’s the case, please tell me in advance.’
James felt as if tears were about to cloud his vision.
Unlike Ohalak, there were no relatives who relied on the Cheonmasin religion.
He was captured by Muslims and sold into slavery. All he had to do was save his body.
But now, his one and only body is about to leave this world.
What should I say? I blurted out that I would go along just because I was swept up in the atmosphere, but as time passed, I felt like I was coming back to my senses.
‘If I say I want to go back now… Instead of sending me back, you’ll kill me first, right?’
It occurred to me that soon I might become one of those friends of Jongli Chu whom I can no longer see with my eyes.
Of course, Jong-Ri-Chu will also end up in the same situation as those friends.
While James was thinking about his bleak future, a disturbing voice coming from around him woke him up.
James glanced around and cautiously opened his mouth.
“Your Majesty, it looks like someone is approaching.”
“I heard that too.”
Jongli Chu also nodded, then turned his head with a puzzled expression and looked around.
But, because he was surrounded by a thousand warriors, he couldn’t see anyone approaching right away.
“What the hell are they!!”
From far away, the shouts of a nomadic warrior facing south echoed and reached Zhongli Chu’s ears.
Then, beyond the warriors, a reply was heard from someone to the south.
“I have come to assist the Lord Buwonju! How can you send only two men to serve the Lord Buwonju, the sixth disciple of the cult leader?”
It was a familiar voice.
‘How is the youngest here?’
Jongli Chui found himself thinking that way.
I wonder if I am suffering from hallucinations and auditory hallucinations again.
But after seeing O’Hallac and James’ subsequent reactions, Jongli Chu realized that it wasn’t because of side effects.
“What the hell.”
“It really was a contagious disease.”
“What are you talking about? Did you hear voices too?”
“!!!”
While they looked at each other with surprised expressions.
The nomad warriors looked at the authors, who called themselves concubines and servants, with expressions of concern.
Immediately, several warriors looked at each other and nodded.
Their faces were overflowing with sincere regret.
There were only ten of them, and most importantly, there were four women among them. Two of them were truly magnificent beauties.
“Hehehe. As expected, he’s the leader’s disciple.”
“The treatment is quite good. To the point of giving them women like that. Hehehe.”
Of course, I couldn’t touch those women right away.
Jongli Chu was a scapegoat for the alliance, so touching the concubine who served him could have caused a lot of trouble.
But you never know what will happen in the future. If you keep them as bait, there may be an opportunity to prey on those women.
Namguru, who was returning with a thousand warriors, was also fascinated by the beauty of the women and had sinister thoughts.
However, as the leader of the warriors, he needed to be a little more careful.
“If it is to invite the Vice-Minister of the Jongni, then only send women!”
Just in case, he decided to accept only four of the ten women who came.
‘Hehehe. I guess I should offer one of those bitches to the Kagan.’
If one of the two with exceptional beauty were to be offered to the Khagan, there would be an expectation that one of them might fall to him.
At Namguru’s shout, Ilmok sent a message to Jin Hayeon.
– If you come into contact with the six death squads, send a signal.
– I will do that.
Led by Jin Ha-yeon, the women rode their horses toward the nomadic warriors.
The nomad warriors made way for them, scanning their faces and bodies with lustful eyes.
Ignoring the creepy, sticky gazes, the women passed the nomadic warriors and approached Jongli Chu.
“Hey, what brings you here?”
Jong-ri-chu asked with a puzzled expression.
– Usawa and the missionary who succeeded in clearing out the Southern Army are returning to Shaanxi. There is no longer any need to worry about the faces of the Myeolgyeol guys.
Immediately after explaining the general situation to Jong-Ri-Chu over the phone.
puck!
Jin Ha-yeon made a surprise move with her hand and struck the heart of a nomad warrior who was looking at her pelvis ominously from nearby.
“Ugh… .”
The warrior of the dying girl who let out a short word died with his heart frozen.
In the midst of an unexpected situation, everyone was frozen in place.
“Jeong Gak-won.”
As soon as Jin Ha-yeon’s name was called, Jeong Hyeon, who had been preparing in advance, pulled the bowstring.
Beep!
It was a sharp arrow.
As the sound of the bell rang out, Ilmok, who had been waiting, drew his Sword of Ascension and charged towards the thousand or so warriors.
As if to support this, the five warriors of the Heavenly Demon Sect who came with him followed behind, each drawing their weapons.
Crunch!
As he cut off the head of the closest warrior, Ilmok clicked his tongue as if he was disappointed.
‘It can be finished with just one hit of the World-Mourning Soul Jade Stone.’
Since there were several allies inside, including Jongli Chu, it could not be used recklessly.
Even if Jin Ha-yeon was there, if she got caught up in the center of the world-ending hell, something terrible could happen.
Ilmok, who swallowed his regret, swung his sword again and again.
Now, the Ascension Sword, which had become so strong that it could be called a new sword, was now covered in a grayish energy, and no one dared to block his sword.
Crunch!
When the opponent swung a sword, it was common for the sword to split the warrior’s body apart.
And every time he split open a warrior’s body, his blood would turn into energy and be absorbed by the ascending sword.
While Ilmok and five other warriors were slaughtering the Myeol-a-geol warriors.
“Catch him!”
In the center of the Myul-Ageul warriors, even greater chaos was unfolding.
In order to use Jongli Chu as a hostage, the Myeol-A-Geol warriors rushed towards them like mad.
But their weapons could not reach Jongli Chu.
puck!
Because the women they had lured in with their lustful eyes were blocking their path.
Jin Ha-yeon swung her two hands, which were imbued with the negative energy of Soo-soo-makong.
“Oh, it’s a witch!”
“Stop it! I’m telling you to stop that bitch!”
Her slow-moving body movements blended in with her face, almost making it seem as if she was dancing, but the result was far from a leisurely dance.
A terrible cold air swept through the area where her hand passed, and the warriors around her often froze to death.
The situation of the warriors who rushed to the rear, left, and right to avoid the fearsome martial arts of Jin Ha-yeon was not much different.
Crunch.
Hyukryun Seon-a and Ju Seo-yeon would often stab the warriors in the head and heart with their claws and spears, respectively.
Of course, the skills of the two women were still incomparable to Jin Ha-yeon.
Wedge!
It was quite difficult to kill Hyukryeon Seon-ah and Ju Seo-yeon, thanks to Jeong-hyeon assisting with archery in the center of the line as if the women were guarding it.
Some of the Myeol-a-geol warriors avoided the women and rushed straight towards Jong-ri-chu, and some of the dogs managed to get close to Jong-ri-chu.
However, it was impossible to take Jongli Chu hostage.
Crunch.
The four disciples of the former Heavenly Horse Hyukryun Ilhwi.
Among them, he is the one who grows the slowest. After all, he was also a disciple of the previous Heavenly Demon.
Although he was still far from being a horse, at least he was already a horse that had escaped the extreme.
“Ughhh.”
At some point, Jongli Chui was dancing with a strange laugh.
Mad Soul Sword Technique.
A sword technique that boasts the side effect of causing auditory and visual hallucinations, and boasts movements that are literally like being possessed by a ghost.
As its name suggests, Jongli Chui’s movements were extremely bizarre.
“Whoaaaa!”
Even though the Myeol-A-Geol warrior was running towards him with a shout, Jong-Ri-Chu’s gaze was for some reason directed towards the empty space next to him, and his sword was also moving towards the empty space.
But just before the sword of the warrior Myeol-a-geol touches Jong-ri-chu’s body.
Jongli Chu’s body twisted abruptly, and his sword curved sideways in a strange path, cutting off the head of the warrior who was about to die.
Crunch!
Even though he managed to avoid the women and aim for Jongli Chu, he was unable to subdue Jongli Chu because he was quite skilled.
visor!
Sometimes, even a master as skilled as Jongli Chu would rush in.
puck!
The baby arrows that Jeong-Hyeon secretly sent would dig into the warrior’s vital points.
“Hahahaha! Thank you, Mohammad!”
Jongli Chu, who had already lost his mind while using the Kwanghon Sword Technique, mistook the arrow shot by Jeong Hyeon as being from someone else.
With the help of a friend who is invisible to others.
Jin Ha-yeon, Hyuk-ryeon Seon-ah, Joo Seo-yeon, Jong-ri Chu, and Jeong Hyeon, who assists them in the center.
The Myul-A-Geol warriors could not easily subdue them.
“Eek.”
O’Hallac and James, who had somehow come under their protection, cowered with frightened expressions.
Several years after becoming a convert to the Cheonmasin religion.
They had mastered magic to some extent, but God being fair, their talent for martial arts was nothing compared to their talent for language.
Perhaps, it was because he had neglected his training while living with Jongli Chu, who was suffering from the side effects of magic.
Anyway, they were so scared that they huddled in the center of the camp to survive.
“Eek!”
Jeong-Hyeon, who was shooting arrows in the center, suddenly let out a scream when someone’s skin touched his body.
“Hey, go away!”
“Please, save me!”
“Wow, that’s scary!”
As she shot her arrow with a scream, a hole was made in the forehead of the warrior who was clashing his claws and sword with Hyukryun Seon-ah’s.
At that sight, Ohalak and James, who had clung to Jeong-hyeon because they wanted to live, swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.
‘You, you’re scarier.’
With words that I couldn’t even bring myself to say.
