Episode 446: Righteousness (2)

Ilmok, who had decided to head south, turned his head and looked at Jongli Chu.

But his mouth didn’t open right away.

‘If we continue like this, the North could become a wasteland.’

If he were to lose his position here, the defense of the North would inevitably become difficult.

He had to leave after devising a plan to cover his absence, even if it was not complete.

Ichimoku, who had been pondering the solution for a moment, opened his mouth after thinking of something.

* * *

A few days later.

Near Hwaeum, Shaanxi Province.

In the area where the now-defunct Hwasanpa had once held sway, the forces of the Cheonmasingyo Alliance were gathered.

Due to the successive defeats, the goal was to quickly reorganize and find countermeasures.

Jegalmun, who had become the leader of the Cheonmasingyo alliance, racked his brain hard, but no particularly clever idea came to mind.

Other than just buying time somehow, hoping that the flames of rebellion boiling over Central Plains would grow even bigger.

There was a piece of paper on his table.

It was a piece of paper that listed the key figures of the allies and enemies, as well as the remaining troops.

The leader of the religious order, Wi Jin-hak. The leader of the Usha, Dokgo-ryong. The leader of the Eunwi-gakju. The leader of the Dark Shadow, Seo Wan-pyeong. The leader of the religious order, Hyeokryun Cheongang. The leader of the Hobeopwon, Guyang-pae. The leader of the Seonyowon, Baek Woon-hak. Hwang Bo-ak and Geol-wang. And the leader of the Magical Order, Yeom Ga-hui and Jeok Li-gang.

Among them, the names of Jeok Li-gang and Yeom Ga-hui were marked with a brush. Jeok Li-gang had died in battle, and Yeom Ga-hui had suffered serious internal injuries and was unable to go to the battlefield for a while.

On the other hand, in the case of the enemy, there is Shin Seung and Tae Gong Gong who recently appeared. Then there is the author and Bul Jeon who acts as Admiral Bang. Finally, there is the Central Army Commander and the Comrade of the Royal Guard who recently appeared.

The number was only six, three fewer than the Cheonmasingyo side, but the problem was Shinsung and Taekonggong.

While Jegalmun was racking his brain and looking over the names, he sensed a presence outside the pavilion.

“Military, the leader is looking for you.”

Although he felt suspicious about the sudden call, Zhuge Liang got up and headed towards the pavilion where Wei Jinxue resided.

“I meet the leader.”

When Zhuge Wen paid his respects, Wei Jinhe nodded with a tired expression.

“Welcome, General Zhuge Liang.”

Then, when Wei Jinxue nodded to Yinwei Ju, Yinwei Ju handed a letter to Zhuge Wen.

“This is a letter sent by the Left Master from the North.”

After receiving a brief explanation from Wei Jin-hak, Zhuge Liang accepted the letter and read it.

Zhuge Liang’s expression after checking all the letters was subtle.

“Are you going to do as your Majesty wishes?”

Wi Jin-hak nodded.

“The things the Left has done so far, and at least the content regarding the Right seems reasonable to me.”

When Dokgo Ryong was mentioned, Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly.

As a military man, the most difficult type of person to deal with was Dokgo Ryong.

“The military seems to agree, so we will proceed as planned.”

After saying this, Wei Jin-hak shouted with his inner strength beyond the pavilion.

“Have the Usawa brought over.”

“Jeonmyeong!”

A voice of respect was heard from outside the hall, and one of the guards headed somewhere.

After a few days of leisure, Dokgo Ryong, who had been summoned by Wi Jin-hak, came to visit the place.

“Meet the leader!”

When Dokgo Ryong showed his respect, Wei Jin-hak nodded and opened his mouth.

“I have a mission for you, that’s why I called you here.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Dokgo Ryong laughed heartily and answered.

“Hahaha! You’re finally giving me the lead!”

At his words, which seemed to have nothing but a rush in his head, Zhuge Wen made an expression of as expected, and Wei Jinhe almost washed his face dry without realizing it.

Wi Jin-hak, who had shown extreme patience, answered with a forced smile.

“It’s the vanguard, but this isn’t it.”

“Where should we go then? Indeed! Are you planning to attack the Forbidden City to divert their attention? As expected of my lord!”

Looking at the moved expression on Dokgo Ryong’s face, both Wei Jin-hak and Zhuge Liang became more confident.

‘As expected, the left-wing leader said.’

‘If I just leave it here, I don’t know what will happen.’

I vividly pictured the scene of them ignoring the principles of engagement and attempting to charge even when the enemy had Shin Seung or Taekong Gong, only to end up dying in vain.

The solution to this problem was quite simple.

“Let’s head north.”

The purpose was to switch the positions of Ilmok and Dokgo Ryong. To send the guy who only knows how to charge to the north. To bring Ilmok, who was tied up in the north, back here.

As soon as Wei Jin-hak’s order was over, Zhuge Liang added:

“It seems that the power of the Left Commander alone is not enough to deal with those vicious Myeol-a-geol bastards. Above all, since the Right Commander is used to dealing with the northern nomads, it would be best for the Left Commander to return here and the Right Commander to take charge of the north.”

It was to persuade Dokgo Ryong.

If you said you were being sent north because you were afraid you would die, you would be a bubble bather.

Instead, he lied and said that he lacked the ability to do it, so he asked him to do it for him.

And that lie worked.

“Hmph. I heard that the Left Secretary’s intelligence reached the heavens, but it seems that he is still lacking. I have no choice but to take his place.”

“If you do, give the order to the nomadic cavalry to prepare right now. They should head north as quickly as possible before the government troops move.”

“Jeonmyeong!”

As Dokgo Ryong left the palace with a brisk stride, Wei Jin-hak and Zhuge Liang looked at each other.

Although he succeeded in tricking Dokgo Ryong, it wasn’t the end.

Ilmok and Jin Hayeon. It would be impossible for Dokgo Ryong to fill the empty spots left by them alone.

If Dokgo Ryong filled Ilmok’s empty spot, someone was needed to replace Jin Ha Yeon’s empty spot.

And that one person had already been decided through conversation while calling Dokgo Ryong.

“Call the missionary!”

That was Baekwoonhak.

He was also familiar with water battles due to his experience fighting in Sacheon for quite some time, and his dark techniques were an effective method in many water battles.

Although the Mokgapjincheonroe that had shone in Sacheon had already fallen long ago, his skills did not go anywhere.

In addition, the fact that he was Dokgo Ryong’s enemy was the most important reason.

Because Usara needed someone to stop her from running wild due to her position.

“… That Dokgo-ryong again, that crazy old man. No, are you telling me to go with Usa?”

Of course, Baek Woon-hak, who heard that order, had a look of bereavement.

Immediately after Baek Woon-hak left with an expression on his face as if he was being dragged to a slaughterhouse.

Zhuge Liang sighed lightly and opened his mouth.

“I managed to send them both off somehow, but I’m not sure if this will make a big difference.”

Zhuge Liang couldn’t shake the feeling that he was a traitor.

In the end, it seemed like there wasn’t much of a difference in terms of power.

The power of the Ichimoku Miseolhonokjang is incomparable, but thanks to the rumors that have already spread far and wide, both enemies and allies have now figured out the weaknesses of the martial art.

Even if Ilmok comes, it would be more helpful than Dokgo Ryong, but it wouldn’t be enough to kill Shin Seung or Taekong Gong.

That was Zhuge Liang’s judgment.

And this was no different in the case of Wei Jinhak.

only.

“If the Left Secretary sent a letter here, it must be because he has some hidden intentions. For now, I will trust him and leave it to him.”

I could only guess that it was not a matter of force, but some clever scheme.

* * *

Two days later.

A group of about a thousand men approached the northern border fortress.

Dokgo Ryong and Baek Woon Hak. And they were cavalrymen of nomadic origin.

‘I never thought they would send the Baekwoonhak family head.’

Dokgo Ryong specifically mentioned it in the letter, but the other one was left to Wi Jin-hak’s judgment.

If I left Dokgo Ryong on the battlefield, I thought he would voluntarily offer up his head to Shin Seung or Taekong Gong.

But I never expected that the remaining one would be sent to Baekwoonhak.

Ilmok turned his head with a trembling expression and looked at Jonglichu who was with him.

A stormtrooper, a attention seeker, and even a schizophrenic.

It was truly a leadership worthy of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

‘Ahem. Well, at least we’ve reduced the number of those who want to destroy the world a lot, so I guess it’ll work out somehow.’

Ilmok, who tried hard to shake off his distracting thoughts, said his final goodbyes to Jongli Chu.

“Executioner, please take good care of this place.”

“I wish you good luck, Your Majesty.”

However, after exchanging greetings with Jong-ri-chu, who had become somewhat more normal these days, Ilmok left the fortress with only the servants accompanying him.

O’Hallac and James, who were watching the Ilmok and Sibi leaving from Jongli Chui’s side, sighed with regretful expressions.

“Haa, now that the Left Master has left, it looks like things will be difficult for Su-seong from now on.”

“That’s true. One hit of the Thousand-Made Death Ball is enough, so how am I supposed to stop the enemy now?”

Jong-ri-chu sighed at the two men’s crazy nonsense.

“Listen, listen, listen, are you guys out of your minds?”

“…I’m sorry, Your Majesty.”

“We have been talking nonsense while the Lord is here.”

He was talking nonsense about the failure with the person in charge right next to him, so I had nothing to say even though I was angry.

But that wasn’t why Jongli Chu scolded them.

“If there is clearly a separate religious leader, how can the martial arts of the left disciple be called Cheonma?”

It was only then that O’Hallac and James realized their mistake.

“If you do that, you should call it the Left-handed Death Ball.”

“Hmm. But, something doesn’t seem to be going right into my mouth.”

In many ways, these two left something to be desired.

‘I guess the Cheonma Death Ball is better… But if the Left Master becomes the Cheonma, then it wouldn’t matter.’

James, who had been grumbling as if it was a waste, quickly shook his head when he realized how dangerous the thought he had come up with was.

To James, who came from the West, the idea of ​​people being beheaded for blasphemy or heresy was a familiar thing.

* * *

One day, they headed south towards Hwaeum, where the Cheonmasingyo alliance forces were gathered. Ilmok and his party encountered a member of Gaebeongdo near Zijang, Shaanxi Province.

“Thank goodness we didn’t miss each other! I was heading north right now with urgent news to deliver to your Majesty!”

“Urgent news? Is there a problem?”

When Ilmok asked in a serious tone, Gaebongdo answered.

“The government troops began to push their way into Shaanxi. So, we divided the troops gathered in Hwaeum and moved to fight against them. Zhuge Liang said, “Your Majesty, join the troops heading towards Heyang.”

Hapyang was further north than Hwaeum, so it was closer to the party that set out from the northern border.

Perhaps Zhuge Liang also had that in mind when he organized his troops and sent this message.

“I will do that.”

After answering the question in that way, Ilmok changed direction and headed towards Hapyang.

* * *

A garrison formed about half a day away from Hapyang.

A middle-aged man dressed in the uniform of a government official walked towards somewhere.

The place the man arrived at was a barracks with a somewhat simple atmosphere.

The man spoke politely as he looked at the barracks, which was unbecoming of a man who boasted the rank of third rank.

“Are you there?”

To the man’s question, an answer came from inside the barracks.

An answer that digs into the brain, not the ears.

– Feel free to talk.

The man answered, recalling that it was a skill he had experienced several times, but that he could never get used to it.

“There is a garrison of the Demonic Cultists half a day away.”

The moment the man mentioned the word ‘demon cult’, a terrible aura and murderous spirit flowed out from inside the barracks.

The man swallowed his saliva without realizing it.

‘That old man is a monk… .’

While the man was pondering such thoughts, a sound of Hye-gwang-sim echoed through his mind again.

– When do you plan on attacking them?

“…After resting tonight, we plan to set out tomorrow at dawn.”

– Okay, I understand.

As if there was nothing more to say, the momentum flowing from inside the barracks suddenly died down.

Perhaps, it was a matter of governing oneself for tomorrow’s massacre.
