Episode 440: The Wonder (2)
While the Sibi Sainbang and Jongli Chu are fighting against the Myeol-Ageul warriors, Ohalak and James are trembling in fear.
Ichimoku steadily swung his sword and advanced forward.
No one could block his powerful sword, and while the warriors around him retreated in fear, Ichimoku willingly swung his sword with great force.
Then, the energy from Ichimoku’s sword stretched out like a stick of candy and swept the surroundings like a whip, and with that one blow, five or six warriors were swept away at once.
For a moment, he slaughtered the warriors who were about to perish and opened a path of blood.
Before long, Ichimoku was able to reach the place where the Jongli Chu was.
“Everyone, you’ve all worked hard.”
Ichimoku said that with a faint smile as if trying to reassure those there, then turned his back and looked behind him again.
There was a straight path open. A blood-stained path made by Ilmok.
However, the number of enemies that I passed by without killing them was much greater because I ran through a single path.
And the hundreds of surviving warriors formed a siege net, surrounding Ilmok and his party.
However, they are just surprised by their absurd power and cannot rush in rashly.
At that moment, Namguru’s scream echoed throughout the battlefield.
“Spread out, surround them, and destroy them!”
Could it be because they are warriors from a tribe that unified the northern grasslands?
As soon as Namguru’s order was given, the warriors of Myeolgol moved in unison. Despite the fact that they were moving while riding horses.
Although he could not understand Namguru’s cries, he quickly swung his sword after seeing their movements and grasping the general situation.
Wedge!
The sword energy that flew in on his sword sliced through the bodies of the retreating Myeol-Ageul warriors, and an eerie sound of bloodshed echoed in succession.
Starting from this moment, the other party members also noticed that the Myeol-a-geol guys were starting to disperse, so they each used the martial arts they had learned to attack the guys.
In this way, dozens more warriors were able to be killed, but the Myeol-a-geol warriors who were riding horses managed to retreat to a distance of more than ten zhang.
Immediately after, the nomadic warriors began to practice their signature art of mounted archery.
They formed a large circle surrounding the entire party and shot arrows from horseback.
Even when Ilmok and his party charged at them, the ones nearby would retreat on horseback, while those on the left, right, and rear would ride their horses in reverse to close the distance and shoot arrows.
visor!
After striking down a few arrows pouring down from the sky with his Ascension Sword, Ichimoku clicked his tongue and quickly threw the Ascension Sword at the Myeol-A-Geol warrior in front of him.
Although it was a head-on fight, the gap between them was at least ten meters.
The ascending sword, which contained the history of Ichimoku, flew at an incredible speed, striking the distance of about ten long strides.
“Eek!”
The startled warrior Myeol-a-geol moved his body from the horse with acrobatic movements. He held his legs firmly against the horse’s body and twisted his upper body almost to the point of bending, as if he was hanging from the horse’s side.
The warrior’s face, which he had thought was sufficient to avoid the attack, turned pale.
“!?”
This was because the Sword of Ascension, which had been flying straight ahead, suddenly changed course and flew towards his neck attached to the horse’s side.
Crunch!
The Ascension Sword, which had cut off the neck of the warrior who had been slain, changed its course as if it was spinning in the air and flew towards the warrior on the left.
Ilmok used the Su-eo-geom to flick his left hand fingers and intercepted the Myeol-a-geol warriors with the Ascension Sword several times.
“Shoot!”
“I want you to kill that monster!!”
Dozens of arrows rained down at Ilmok at once.
But no arrow reached Ichimoku’s body.
This was because Jin Ha-yeon and Hyuk-ryeon Seon-ah, who had come to his side to assist Il-mok, who was busy unfolding his sword, each unfolded their Sosu-ma-gong and Hyeol-ho-jeok-jo-gong, respectively, and struck down all the arrows.
Having entrusted the defense to them, Ichimoku continued to slaughter the warriors who were trying to destroy Myeol-a-geol with his fingers and sword.
Also, it wasn’t just the Ascension Sword that was harassing the Myul-Age Warriors.
Wheaaaaaaaaa!
puck!
Every time a sharp crack of thunder rang out, one of the Myul-A-Geol warriors on his horse fell and rolled across the ground.
There was always an arrow stuck in the forehead or heart of a fallen warrior.
It was Jeong-Hyeon’s work.
She was also constantly shooting arrows, escorted by five Cheonmasingyo warriors who had come with Ilmok, including Ju Seo-yeon and Jong Ri-chu.
“Eek!”
“Please, save me!”
“Father, don’t stick to me!!”
O’Hallac, who was very frightened by the constant rain of arrows pouring down from the sky, got into a fight with James.
While warriors were steadily dying and falling to the ground from Jeong-Hyeon’s arrows and Ilmok’s ascending sword.
Crack.
Namguru just gritted his teeth, glared at the men, and aimed an arrow on his bow.
The word retreat never came out.
Although the warriors were dying for the time being, they believed that in the end they would be victorious.
“Their internal energy and arrows aren’t infinite!! Just keep pushing a little harder!”
If the flower of heavy cavalry was to penetrate the enemy lines by charging, the core of nomadic cavalry tactics was to slowly wear down the enemy.
As he had expected, the arrows in Jeong-Hyeon’s quiver were almost empty.
But there were too many things here to replace her arrows.
“Hey, can you give me some arrows?”
Because arrows shot by nomadic warriors were scattered everywhere.
“Well, with the unbroken ones.”
At her request, Joo Seo-yeon and Jong Ri-chu, who were busy blocking arrows, and the soldiers of the Cheonmasingyo Church looked around at the scattered arrows and picked up a few that looked good.
And when he approached Jeong-hyeon to give him the arrow he had picked up, Jeong-hyeon started fighting.
“Just throw it at me.”
With O’Hallack and James already attached to them, and seven more people joining in, it seemed as if the magic spell was about to strike.
“Yes, yes, that will be so.”
Bewildered, they took a few steps back and threw the arrows they had brought to Jeong-hyeon.
visor!
In the meantime, they were the ones shooting down arrows pouring down from the sky.
Even when he had free time, he would catch the flying arrows with his hand instead of shooting them away, in order to hand them to Jeong-Hyeon.
Jeong-Hyeon, who was able to receive an unlimited supply of arrows, hung the arrows he received on a bow and shot them at the enemy.
At first it was a little bit inaccurate.
It was because the weight and shape were slightly different from the arrows she used.
But her skills were not lacking, and after shooting a few times and getting the feel for it, she was hitting every time again.
Namguru swore at the sight of her arrows growing longer instead of falling.
“Fuck….”
But what scared him more than her was Ichimoku.
‘I heard that it takes a huge amount of internal energy to perform that technique. Does that mean that the internal energy is infinite?’
The Khagan he served was also a master of high level, so he was a man who could use the Shui Sword.
However, maintaining it for such a long time was somewhat incomprehensible.
Above all else.
‘Why on earth are you retrieving the sword, and why are you putting the sword in the corpse?’
The young man who used the Shui Sword would often retrieve the sword he used to practice the Igi Sword Technique and then stab it into the corpse of a Myeol-A-Geol warrior lying nearby.
Namguru may not understand, but it was to absorb blood energy to restore his declining internal energy.
Namguru, who was looking back and forth between Jeonghyeon, who was shooting arrows endlessly, and Ilmok, who was displaying swordsmanship endlessly, clenched his teeth again.
“This is fucking shit….”
I had intended to harass the enemy until their strength was exhausted, but soon the corpses of warriors were strewn everywhere.
The number of warriors, which had started out at around a thousand, had been reduced to one third.
Tick.
Even when I put my hand into the quiver, I saw that all the arrows were running out.
“Retreat! Retreat! Each of you will scatter and return to your tribe!”
Namguru, realizing that there was absolutely no hope, shouted urgently, grabbed the horse’s reins, and started to run away.
Starting with him, the surviving Myeol-a-geol warriors rode their horses and scattered in all directions, and the vassals and the Cheonma Shingyo warriors tried to chase them.
“Stop.”
If it weren’t for the order of Ichimoku.
“They’ve scattered in all directions, so there’s no point in chasing them. It seems best to get some rest and then turn back.”
Although they didn’t show it, everyone was tired.
Those who kept shooting down arrows pouring down from all directions, or Jeong Hyeon and Ilmok who shot arrows and practiced swordsmanship without rest.
“Phew.”
After taking a deep breath, a strong smell hit my nose.
The smell of blood wafting from all directions. The excrement flowing from the corpses. The smell of sweat soaking through the body from the endless fighting.
Ichimoku sighed faintly.
“Ha. I guess I’ll have to go back to the border to take a bath.”
Although his obsessive-compulsive disorder disappeared after he became a hermit, he still had a preference for cleanliness.
Just like Baek Woon-hak, who is still a person of interest despite being in a state of disrepair, or Dokgo Ryong, who is always doing his own thing.
I don’t have an obsession with washing that makes me go crazy, but I like it to be clean.
At that moment, James, who had been terrified, opened his mouth after hearing Ichimoku’s monologue.
“Sir, if you want to wash up, there’s a lake near the road back. I, I heard the story of the Myeol-a-geol guys talking when I was passing by that area.”
As he said this, James pointed his finger into the distance.
Fortunately, it was heading towards the border. It was a bit of a detour though.
“That’s good. It’ll be hard to rest if we stay here, so let’s go to the lake first and get some rest before returning to the fortress.”
They rode their horses towards the lake James had mentioned.
All of the horses they rode on were killed in the battle, but a few of the Myeolga’s horses remained nearby.
It’s been a while since I’ve driven my horse like that.
A lake appeared before their eyes.
It looks too big to be a lake.
“her.”
As Il-mok-in let out a light laugh, a question suddenly came to mind.
“It’s surprising that there is a lake this big and there are no nomads around.”
They were nomads who already had a shortage of food and water. They always made a point of building their bases in places where there was at least a little water.
To Ilmok’s question, James, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation between the Myeol-a-geol guys, answered.
“They say that the water in that lake is undrinkable. It’s salty, and I’ve heard that the more you drink, the thirstier you get.”
Ilmok let out a hollow laugh again.
‘Not only is it so large that it looks like a sea, it’s also a lake with salt water flowing like a real sea.’
It couldn’t have been an unfamiliar story in many ways.
“Tsk. I guess I won’t be able to get my throat wet. I’ll just wash off the blood and sweat, have a quick breakfast, and then head back.”
At Ilmok’s command, the group moved in unison.
Some people sat down and started to eat breakfast, while others washed themselves first instead of eating breakfast and protecting the dharma.
Ilmok also walked into the lake.
The lake water was as cold as ice, whether it was because winter was approaching or because it was just that way.
After lightly washing off the blood and sweat in the lake, Ichimoku sat cross-legged in a place where the water was only up to about knee height.
‘I think it would be better to increase the amount of negative energy a little on this occasion.’
After months of fighting, the heat of the battle had built up considerably. Thanks to the power of the Ascension Sword.
In contrast, the sound of …
Even though I had been consistently taking the morning exercise, it was impossible to gain decades of strength in just a few months.
“Swoop. Phew.”
Take a few deep breaths and exhale, following the instructions of the Soo-Ma-Gong, and absorb the lake’s yin energy.
He felt a strange sensation, a sense of genius. It was as if a tiny thread was brushing against his skin.
Feeling puzzled, Ichimoku focused his gaze and followed the flow of the energy waves.
Soon, Ichimoku opened his eyes wide and stared at the center of the lake.
Surprisingly, the gentle waves were coming from the center of the lake, dozens of meters away.
‘If it can be felt from this distance…’
One corner of Ichimoku’s mouth slightly rose as he thought about it.
‘There’s something.’
There was something there that contained a considerable amount of negative energy, whether it was a spirit or an elixir, and I didn’t know what it was.
