31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 312)
As in the south, settlers also infiltrated the Khan Empire, which had a large land mass..
Now, it has been a while since Han Sang-im, a former member of the adventurer association of Sangyo, a small and medium-sized city, has settled in Khan..
Squeak…
“…….”
As I opened the door and entered, I could see the atmosphere of the association at a glance. No, wherever you go these days, the atmosphere is like this..
Eyes of the Defeated Soldiers.
eyes of the fugitives.
Those dead eyes landed on Han Sang-im..
Han Sang-im tried to ignore the stares and checked the association community..

[Title: Why are Sangyo’s adventures not nutritious??]
Something happened around here?
There isn't much adventure and the pay is so low..
- The cities we interacted with around us collapsed and collapsed..
- Eh? No way, that mask again?
- Gaksital haha anyway, if he shows up, the infrastructure will be ruined, so it's ruined..
- Originally, there were two large-scale merchants and a large mercenary group here, so all the transferees gathered here haha.
- Where is it all??
- I did it.

[Title: I have no choice but to admit it honestly.?]
Khan is ruining things.
No matter what it looked like from the outside, everything was festering on the inside..
- No, I shouldn't fail. I paid the broker how much to come here..
- How much did you give?
- One platinum coin.
- Holy crap, I gave him two.
- from the south?
- no, i'm northern.
- The North is expensive by nature haha. It is not easy for the federation to catch all the brokers and move over..
- okay? Then I guess it wasn't a rip off..
- But it's a rip off ㅅㄱ
- Fuck

[Title: It wasn’t like this when I was…]
Sangyo was bustling with people and the surrounding trade routes were all prosperous. ㄹㅇ Until recently... That bastard wearing a mask ruined everything ㅡㅡ The mass deaths of transferees were also because of that bastard, and among Yonghwa, he was the older one. Was it Seolhong? Anyway, there was Yonghwa who was very popular, and I heard he also got blown up by the mask..
- Ah, I heard. There was a rumor that Yongseok was a Jeonja, but equally it was said that his head was broken by a yaksha..
- Right now, Yongseok is secretly receiving a lot of transfer interest..
- why?
- You lost, stir-fried, and fought with the ghost, and the dragon stone was completely torn apart..
- I see! But what do you think of Taeyul’s adventure this time? They say they are gathering transferees to catch that action mask..
- That masked bastard has so many nicknames lol. Anyway, I don't recommend that suggestion. I can't see the transfer interest turning out well. That's why most people don't even touch that adventure..
- ah…
- So, there are more and more escaped ninjas escaping from Cannes. But honestly, from all the news I hear here and elsewhere, it's hell..
- Fuck… When I fell to Pandea, my heart was filled with grandeur when I saw the natural scenery. I had no idea that being homeless would become a daily routine in that nature.…
- My heart feels tight…
Sang-Im Han checked the contents of the community a little more and sat down in the corner of the association..
“It sucks, really.….”
“Why do you always complain and never leave??”
“The compartment is also very spacious. They say I'm welcome everywhere I go?”
“I'm sorry….”
The people at the table next to us are giggling and laughing..
Chick… Chic…
Whoa whoa…
Han Sang-im took out a cigarette and burned it, listening to the sounds around him..
“It's true that Khan is a good place to live, but now it seems like it's also an unpleasant place to live. How long do I have to live like this? after… Is the world really making me draw my sword??”
“Are they ghosts or something... It was much scarier than the demonic beasts. I've seen it before?”
“No, I only heard rumors, but he even spoke and imitated humans... They say something more cruel than that is crossing the line..”
“In occupied cities, people's corpses were placed on stakes.….”
“Well, let's stop there and talk about it..”
“Oh yeah.”
Han Sang-im sank into the chair and sucked in the tobacco more deeply..
“Still, they say that an adventure in cooperation with the central army is worth it? Surprisingly, the rewards are high.….”
“It looks like a mess, but now is not the time to take stock. But if you go there, the only person left is the cheerleader.?”
“If you become a vanguard, you become a sword holder, and if it's a support job, honestly, there's no big difference whether you're an adventurer and a roll or a central army soldier.?”
“No, you know.”
“huh?”
“The central army does not betray. I know that the ex-convicts are outwitting each other..”
“ah… Right. The back of my head was flat because of that..”
“you also?”
“Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk….”
Han Sang-im touched the back of his head..
“But this time, the Yonghwas were quite active..”
“The building I'm inheriting is flooded, so I'm going to go and use a bowl to relieve the water..”
“Is it a brave thing or something... I've known you since I was a bitch. After all, life is real.”
“But even now, the imperial people's perception of Yonghwa is not much different from the ranking of Yonghwa..”
“Was it surprisingly discriminating??”
Ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd…
“hmm?”
“madam… You spilled it. Hey, don't shake your legs.”
“Damn no. My grandmother beat me all the time because I didn't fall off my leg and I was lucky..”
“then what did you just do….”
Dedddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd…
This time the entire building shook..
“Go outside!”
“Well, what the hell?!”
Association officials and other transferees escaped from the association building..
“Wow!!”
“Run away!”
Han Sang-im came out and turned his attention to the downtown area of Sangyo. People poured out of there and ran..
The direction was different for each person.
4This means that he fled in any direction..
“…….”
And soon Han Sang-im also joined the ranks and ran backwards..
Sangyo became a slave in an instant..
Jijijijijijijik…
Because a masked person appeared.
* * *
Doo doo doo doo…
A group of troops were running, kicking up dust. A goblin-like man with a black beard covering his face stood in the lead..
It was Eulryong, Khan’s general..
“Turn your head, head to Sangyo right now..”
“yes!”
There was also a familiar face next to him..
Taeyul and his subordinates including Yongseok.
And it was Shinyo and Jangdu..
Taeyul spoke next to Sanggun Eulryong..
“Sangjang-gun! The power needs to be overhauled! Yasha is like this….”
“Don’t come forward, Taeyul..”
“…….”
“What was the result of following your opinion so far in order to repay my Lord with loyalty??”
“that….”
“We have been chasing the yaksha all along and have only seen countless corpses of the people of the empire..”
It wasn't wrong..
Yacha is a new arrival.
did not stay in one place for long.
Thanks to this, even when accompanied by the Sangjang army, we only encountered traces of the yaksha passing by..
So both Eul-ryong and Tae-yul of Sangjang looked forward to the moment when they could properly collide with the yaksha. And finally, the moment came.
‘no… After all, now….’
Before hearing the news from Sangyo, Taeyul's army, accompanied by Eulryong, devoted a lot of effort to regaining the already occupied city..
As a result, quite a bit of damage occurred and repairs had not yet been completed..
It was too dangerous to collide with a yaksha in this situation..
“Sangjanggun, but now is the time….”
“Hey Taeyul, answer me..”
“I will answer.”
“When is the perfect moment to confront the yaksha in your opinion??”
“…….”
perfect moment.
It was only now that Taeyul realized that he had been drawing such an illusion for some time..
‘but… If it is not in perfect condition,….’
Eulryong continued to speak without slowing down his hand on the reins even for a moment..
“I'll ask you one more question.”
“I will answer.”
“When the perfect moment you hope for comes, will the people of the empire still have their breath left??”
“…….”
Neither of the two questions could be answered.
Tigers and dogs think differently.
“Taeyul, I think you are a great person. He is upright and worthy of respect. I think you are probably the one who most strongly inherits the Dragon Emperor’s blood..”
“…….”
“You are a criminal. Maybe that's why you want to create the perfect moment to hunt him down..”
Sangjang-gun Eulryong.
He said without even looking at Taeyul..
“One thing, there is something you must not forget. I, Eulryong, am not fighting to win right now..”
Only then did he look back at Taeyul..
“It's a fight to protect.”
Taeyul knew a lot about Eulryong..
It is also important to note that he is a military officer from a humble background who was born and raised on the streets, and that he is a man of great standing who overcame all that to reach his current position..
“I was born without parents. The women on the street took their turn and breastfed me after I was abandoned..”
“…….”
“We were invited to dinner every night so that we wouldn't go hungry. She even got a place to sleep. Some people might say that I am a man who grew up without a home or family and does not know affection. However, the facts are different.”
Doo doo doo doo…
“I thought, counting the stars. They are my family and Khan is my home. I am… I wasn't a tiger from birth. It was closer to a dog. The reason he wanted to become a military officer was not only because he had the talent to do it, but also because he wanted to protect his family. Even now, that decision has not changed.”
Eulryong bit his lips tightly and said..
“This Eulryong is a dog. This is a dog that will go to any lengths to attack a person who is harassing its owner. Still, does he plan on stopping me??”
Taeyul bowed his head and said.
“Do as the Commander-in-Chief wants..”
We must protect the people of the empire.
It's not that I don't know that..
Having to protect something means that that something can be a strength or a weakness..
In the current situation... It was clearly a weakness.
But I couldn't stop it.
Shinyo said as he approached Sanggun..
“Sangjang County. We….”
“Stop, it seems that Sang-gun is right. Shinyo.”
Taeyul and Shinyo saw.
A city in disarray due to Yaksha.
Traces of tears, stained with blood and corpses.
Even if you are a strong Yonghwa, if you are caught in a storm every day, you will be shaken..
they are already devastated.
Shinyo wanted to tell everyone about the news he heard from Master in Socheon, but Shinsin had asked him not to say anything, so he had to keep his mouth shut and wait for the situation to unfold..
“…Commander, please protect the people of the empire... Please save me.”
“It can be done with your help..”
“Is there any.”
“Hahaha! let's go! Whether you are a yaksha or a ghost, I will cut you down with one move.!”
Shanggun was stronger than Jangdu, the dragon stone of Shinya. The reason the empire was not checked by other countries despite the ghosts' offensive was precisely because of the soldiers guarding this front and their legions..
I felt anxious, but I got it together and made a decision..
There will never come a situation in the future where you can face a yaksha when someone with the same military strength as the Sanggun joins you..
So make sure to check this time.
Just how powerful is the yaksha?.
And is it possible to stop it?.
If you can't stop it….
‘It can't be like that, but….’
It will be the first defeat Khan will ever experience..
‘No, I, Taeyul, won’t just watch it like that..’
* * *
It hasn't been that long since Sangyo became a father figure. The majority of the people attempted to escape, and the attempt was successful..
“Kyahahahaha!”
“Chase! Let's taste the meat!”
Of course, I was just saying that I escaped from the city, not that I was able to escape the pursuit of the ghosts..
“Wow!!”
“Go away!”
“run!”
Huh... Heo Eok…
No matter how fast an ordinary person can run, he could never be faster than a ghost..
I got a card…
“Ahhhhh!”
“delicious… It's delicious!”
“no!”
Right… Right now…
“Tsk tsk tsk… What do you do other than run away? Soon you too….”
pujijic-!
“…….”
Suddenly, the pupils of the ghost that was chewing something became cloudy. The arrow lodged in his temple may be the reason..
“Wow!!”
Doo doo doo doo!
A cavalry team emerged from the bushes and rode across the field. It was Eulryong and Taeyul’s group..
The fact that Taeyul had a longbow in his hand showed that he was the one who had just killed the ghost..
“Kill every single one of them! They are evil people targeting the people of the empire.!”
“yes! Sangjang-gun!”
Push shoo shoo shoo shoo-!
A human who shoots an arrow while running has tremendous combat power in itself..
“Wow!!”
“Wow!!”
An arrow stuck in a vital spot.
“Taeyul! It's Taeyul!”
“I lived!”
The people of the empire ran towards them as much as possible without being swept away by the cavalry..
“Join us over there.!”
“That would be better!”
The former soldiers turned around and supported the cavalry. In an instant, the situation turned around..
Quasi-profit-!
Kwaziik-!
Sang Sang-gun’s dance was amazing..
“Ugh….”
“Wook….”
Fuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
The majesty of running while wielding a large spear really felt like a heavenly spirit had come down to earth..
“Also, run away!”
Even ghosts felt fear of those stronger than themselves..
Ghosts running away from the Sanggun Army.
“stand there!”
But right then.
Da da da da… pot-!
The running ghosts spread left and right like the Red Sea parting..
“Sangjang-gun! It's too deep!”
“Follow me!”
Eulryong became a sharp spear and cut through the ghost's camp. And soon he learned why the ghosts were scattered.
“…….”
“Yacha… It's you.”
The yaksha was standing at the corner of the road, quietly looking at Eulryong. No, I couldn't tell if he was staring or looking away. Even what's behind the mask.
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
Eulryong lifted the geochang above his head and spun it round and round..
[Eulryong uses Jincheonroe (震天雷).]
[Damage increases by the number of times the spear is rotated and by the distance the body moves..]
[Deals additional damage of lightning attribute with a certain probability..]
“Noooooom!”
Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Like a thunderclap, Ulyong’s spear struck the yaksha..
No, the yaksha struck down the drawn sword..
Jiiiiiiing…
A suspicious wave transmitted through a spear pole..
Wow-!
Eulryong sensed something ominous and quickly removed his spear..
Then he rode his horse, circled around the yaksha, and retreated..
“A bad guy. Condemn you and hold you accountable for the harm you have done to the empire.….”
That moment.
stumble…
dump…
“Sangjang-gun!”
“no!”
Eulryong fell from his horse.
“strength… strength… Fall in love….”
The scary thing about the Yaksha was that it took away the power of the opponent no matter how strong he was. A stronger person would have prepared for it, but unfortunately, Eulryong could not resist that power..
sreung…
The yaksha raised his sword..
“Save the Sangjanggun!”
“masthead!”
Jangdu and Taeyul's subordinates tried to dig in at full speed, but someone appeared in front of them..
So bad so bad…
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssd…
The Yaksha's helpers were Gwanggwi and Maegu..
“No one can approach the yaksha..”
“Yeah, yeah….”
At that time when the Yasha's sword was about to pierce the heart of the dragon.
Cheeeeee…
There was a burning smell somewhere..
Flames rose through the gap between the luminous ears and the mouthpiece..
“what!”
Feeling embarrassed, they simultaneously turned their heads back..
Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
A strangely dressed knight was crossing swords with a yaksha..
Tae-yul, Shin-yo, and Yagwang-gwi and Mae-gu, who were watching them, were all astonished..
Tuuk…
The Yasha took a step back for the first time..
Maegu opened his mouth wide..
“…Nonsense.”
Sabak…
Sabak…
Taking advantage of that opportunity, three people wearing giant clothes joined the venue..
Sigh…
Three taking off their hoods.
Taeyul and Shinyo's eyes fluttered..
No, everyone in the hall froze..
“Seolhong… Are you Seolhong??”
Seolhong smiled..
“It’s been a while, brother..”
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
With a loud noise, everyone's eyes, which had been focused on Seolhong, once again focused on the yaksha..
Jangdu stuttered..
“Well, that means the author... no way….”
The Yaksha mask moved slightly..
The face of the mask that has become a tearful face.
Snowfall twisted its mouth.
“I'm a little late because of the supplies, Yacha..”
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-!
In the field, a fire rose.
“I'll save you now.”
