Chapter 11
Instead of Zhuge Sang, a middle-aged man with gray hair pulled back answered..
He was the second oldest in age after Nangong Weimu and Zhuge Zhongho..
He was the elder Gongchu of the Shamanist faction..
“Indeed, it is non-partisan. Thank you for your teachings, Elder Gongchu..”
Zhuge Shang greeted politely with a bow..
“Where is Geomseon??”
Nangong Weiwu asked Zhuge Sang..
“It’s two days away from Nanju..”
“It's been two days instead of four. Good thing.
The blood religion will have to move after we arrive.……”
“In addition to the Huashan faction of Shaanxi led by Geomseon, the Jongnam faction, the Tang faction of Sichuan, the Shaolin Temple of Henan, and the Shaman faction and Zhuge family of Hubei make up a total of five thousand. Even with the difference in numbers, the Murim Alliance has the advantage, and since Geomseon Woo Il-moon Jinin, the Tenth Chair of the Sangcheon, is also there, they will definitely be able to achieve a certain victory..”
“I hope so.”
Nangong Weimu muttered with a pensive look on his face..
There are more than one thing to point out..
It has not yet been explained why the blood religion passed the Jade Gate in an instant..
‘Or, is it possible that I am being played by those things called Dark Heaven?……’
Two days later, the Murim League's late contingent arrives in Nanju without any problems..
And the blood religion also moved its forces as soon as the later troops arrived, as if they had been waiting..
‘Not good.’
Joo Seocheon frowned..
In the meantime, Hyeokyo remained calm, but when the second party arrived, it immediately moved..
In the case of reorganization, I had no expectations, but I was concerned as to why it had been so quiet for so long..
“what do you think?”
“There's nothing to do but think.”
A middle-aged man with a bachelor's style and a goatee answered..
“Since we arrived while the river poem was being made, wouldn't you be in a hurry to make jokes?.”
Jegalsak, a master of high power and strength.
As the uncle of the three genius siblings of the Zhuge family and the younger brother of the current head of the family, he also met Ju Seocheon during the Yeonhwagak era..
Maybe it's because time has passed, but there are more wrinkles than when I saw it before..
“A blood demon is not someone with a head full of muscles..”
“Uh huh, no matter what, isn’t it a big jump?.”
Zhugesac frowned as if he didn't like it..
As he was in charge of strategy in the late team, he was displeased with Joo Seo-cheon interfering in his own territory..
“Uncle. Is it okay if my nephew speaks up for a moment??”
Zhuge Suran, the beautiful woman next to Zhuge Sak, asked:.
“Sigh, adults now... … No, it's done. tell me.”
Normally, I would have scolded them for interfering with adults' conversations, but I couldn't because of Joo Seo-cheon..
“There is some truth to what my uncle said, but since he has seen and heard things at the front, why not listen to a little of what he has to say? Didn't Sun Tzu also say that the most important thing in war is the general, and that the general's tactics that lead the battle strategy are the first factor that determines victory or defeat?.”
“Just as Mosamibong said, Goryeoyeomsa. Or, I'm not saying that the opinions of the advance team aren't important.?”
Master Eunha gave subtle pressure..
“Okay!”
Although Jegalsak looked confused, he lowered his head as if there was nothing he could do to cover up the blood clots on his neck..
Seocheon Joo expressed his gratitude to Master Eunha with a wink..
‘It's okay. It's just a repayment for helping me a while ago..’
A lot of damage could have been prevented just by warning the monster about an attack or an unreasonable charge..
Compared to that, this is not even an axis of repayment..
“Okay, tell me what you think..”
Woo Il-moon also looked at Joo Seo-cheon with gentle eyes..
I deliberately didn't say anything because I was afraid that if I came forward, there would be rumors that I was siding with an alumni student..
“On the eve of the war, Seung-gu (勝久) is put in the position of a soldier (則純兵桂說)).”
“If victory takes a long time in the fight, the soldiers will soon become dull and lose their sharpness. It's on the side of Sun Tzu's The Art of War..”
When Ju Seo-cheon began to rhyme, Zhuge Suran added an explanation..
“you're right. It points out the fatigue of the military and the exhaustion of military expenses. It's not exactly the same, but the situation is the same now..”
“Aren't we talking about how the Blood Cult didn't move for a while, but then reacted as soon as we arrived? This is the answer from the alumni book..”
Jegalsak stumbled after Joo Seo-cheon's words..
“If the difference in blood and power clashes in an even situation, the Murim Alliance will inevitably lose. That's because they replenish their troops by raising our bodies to the river..
The longer the fight lasts, the more serious the situation will become..”
“……Is it true that they are intentionally waiting for additional troops??”
Zhuge Sak was a stubborn and stubborn person, but he was not a fool..
“Some trap may be lurking. So, you must be careful and be vigilant. if not.”
“Is it like a death sentence??”
Someone interrupted Joo Seocheon’s speech and came in..
The attention of the left and right gathered in one place..
He was a Buddhist man in his fifties, with a slim build and no body..
“I didn't mean that..”
Joo Seo-cheon greeted the Taoist with all courtesy..
‘Ji Il-gwang (One Sword, Seven Kills)!’
He is famous both in his past life and in his current life..
Although he is currently only a supreme expert who is about to enter the Hwagyeong, he will later play a major role in the fight against the demons during the war..
He was later ranked among the top 100 great masters in the world, and was a hero who remained until the end in the war against the Amcheonhoe..
I remembered an anecdote about how he killed his enemies and saved his allies by swinging his sword before he died..
“Look, one sword, seven kills. I understand how you feel, but calm down. To take out your anger on an innocent child, what kind of shame is that when you get older?.”
‘Shaman's two sets of martial arts Unhak (雲鶴))!’
One of the world's greatest masters and a Taoist who reached the level of Hwagyeong..
He is one of the leading experts in the Shaman faction, which is said to be a male zone..
He is a disciple of Baero Lee University, the same scholar as Hyeon Jang..
He is also known as a genius who even achieved the composition of the Yangui Divine Technique, which is reputed to be difficult among the three major Divine Techniques of the Shaman sect..
Like Yeonhwagak of the Hwasan faction, he is a graduate of Muryonggwan, a place where only talented and genius people gather, and has grown into a promising star since childhood..
Although he did not reach the Ten Places of Heaven, he achieved fame by attaining the rank of Buddha at the age of 40..
Thanks to the support he received from a young age, including elixirs, he has a power of more than 100%, and is able to perform the two-yield martial arts without difficulty. In addition, he is able to perform the two-yi sword method and the two-yi fist method at a high level. It's a monster.
‘Indeed, a bloody war. Since the blood demon appears, the sect is sending out the best experts..’
One Sword, Seven Kills and Shaman’s Day.
They are famous masters both in modern times and in the future..
In my past life, they were heroes I had only heard of and heard of their activities, but it felt strange to be in the same place..
For your information, even if you lack the inaction of one sword, seven kills, it won't be long before you gain enlightenment and be on the same line..
“……It's just as you said. I lost my temper for a moment and showed disgrace. I apologize to Maehwa Jeonggeom..”
Ji Il-gwang sighed as if he had calmed down at Woon-hak’s words..
‘Phew, Ji Il-kwang is still someone you can communicate with..’
At least I didn't turn a blind eye to fortune telling like Jiunbo did..
If it weren't for Unhak, it might have gone wrong again, but at least I was able to face the fact that something was wrong..
“it's okay. I understand.”
Joo Seo-cheon did not want to make a mess by scraping with Ilgeomchisal, who would later be remembered as a hero..
“Huh! It's nice to see him admitting his mistake and apologizing, but I think that will have to be postponed until later..”
Jegalsak cleared his throat and changed the mood..
“So, what should I do??”
“I'm embarrassed to even say it's a tactic, but there's only one..”
To prevent primary or secondary clashes from occurring, the only way to end the situation is to end it in an all-out war..
Also, it was forbidden to make hasty judgments and advance without thinking..
Just like Eonmadae a while ago, we didn't know what else could be lurking, so we had to prepare for it..
“In short, shouldn't we wage an all-out war, but move quickly and end it by beheading the enemy? That's a fact everyone knows. Why are you talking so amazingly?……”
Jegalsak hummed, as if he didn't understand anything..
It seemed that he was not happy about being robbed of his role as a military officer..
Still, he didn't shout out loud, perhaps because he was the leader of the Hwasan faction to which Joo Seo-cheon belonged and the Sangcheon Ten Chairs were right in front of him..
“……I guess I'll have to form a separate team..”
Jegalsak muttered while gently pulling his goatee..
‘thank god.’
I was worried what would happen if I continued to oppose it..
If war breaks out, the military authority belongs to the Zhuge family..
If that's the current matriarch's biological younger brother, there's no question about it..
Even if he had general command, he could not do whatever he wanted if there were soldiers in his position..
That's the custom of Moorim..
This is because the Zhuge Dynasty played an active role in history through resourcefulness, and there were times when he ignored this and ended up in great trouble..
Still, I was glad that I didn't say nonsense out of pride..
“It would be better for you not to come forward..
There are things that stand out, but more than anything, if a person of the Tenth Place in Heaven moves, the Blood Demon may notice and run away. Therefore, it is best to stay at the shortest distance possible and wait until the detachment is tied up before fighting..”
“Is there anything else besides that??”
“The only thing that can take a Blood Demon's life is a swordsman, so focus your efforts only on this. And more than anything, quick movement is important. If the blood demon runs behind the army, the battle will be prolonged and complicated in many ways..”
Jegalsak also frowned, probably remembering the effectiveness of the four sound fields..
“then what should we do?”
When Ji Il-gwang asked, Je-gal-sak was silent for a moment, as if he was lost in thought, and then opened his mouth..
“Firstly, the swordsman must create a path leading to the blood demon, and secondly, he must respond to any threats that may arise..”
When talking about the second child, I rolled my eyes and glanced at Joo Seocheon..
”The third is?”
“Please take care of everything except blood demons. Each person will be in command of at least eight hundred to one thousand people, and this may vary depending on the situation of the war, so keep this in mind..”
“Look at this, high power flame. Then, who do you plan to entrust to take charge of the blood demon until the sword arrives??”
“that……”
Jegalsak's gaze turned to one side..
“Are you serious??”
Gu Feng asked, quite embarrassed..
And of course, at the end of those gazes was Ju Seo-cheon..
“Your uncle's judgment is right..”
Zhuge Suran said with an unwavering face..
“If you need to alert the blood demons and keep them from retreating, it is better to make up younger people..
Also, if you have to have the skills to not die even in front of a blood demon to be able to tie your feet... … Zhuge Suran blurted out her words and gently closed her eyes, then slowly opened them and spoke for everyone to hear..
There is only our review index..”
The forces of the Murim Alliance gathered in Gansu are divided into five..
Hwasan Sect, Shaolin Temple, Shaman Sect, Community Sect, Murim Alliance.
These five each had a force of over a thousand men..
In the case of the Zhuge Dynasty, there were a hundred men, but most of them were warriors guarding the military camp, so it was not a very large force..
Since they did not go to the front lines and played the role of center, rear guard, or messenger, their actual strength was five thousand..
In addition, a separate unit was formed to tie up the blood demon's feet..
The head of the detachment was Ju Seo-cheon, and Zhuge Suran participated as a counselor to devise strategies and plots according to the situation of the war..
Naturally, when she said she would participate, the people at Sega were fiercely opposed..
“Are you out of your mind? Do you know where you said you were going??”
Jegalsak asked with a displeased look on his face..
“This is the place where there are only ten absolute beings and blood demons in the current martial arts world. That's something you have to go through through the crowds of religious believers, so where do you go from there??”
“Uncle, have you forgotten that my nickname is Mosamibong?.
Don't worry, I'm martial arts, I'm good enough to protect myself..”
Getting your name on the Five Dragons and Three Peaks is not possible through resourcefulness alone..
Martial arts is essential.
Of course, Zhuge Suran is the weakest among them in terms of martial arts, but he is still at the top level..
“As for the Blood Cult experts, the accompanying separate unit will be in charge anyway, so you don't have to worry about that..”
It's not like falling in the middle of enemy territory..
In fact, it is not a separate unit that clears the road, but other allies..
It was okay because I would receive protection from those around me..
“On the contrary, if something unexpected happens and something goes wrong, it can become uncontrollable..”
Since it wasn't a public place, my tone of voice was a little soft..
“you really need to go……”
“I'm not being sassy for no reason. You know that if you send someone else, your speed of reaction and your strategy will be limited, right? Please. I don't want to cause too much damage by making a mistake just to save my life..”
Although Zhuge Suran received help from the Sega, he has quite a lot of experience in fighting..
I've lived a lot of rough lives..
Although not as much as today, there were times when I wandered around dangerous places in their own way..
It was like that even in Gwiju, when he was the first strongman..
“Okay!”
In the end, after much persuasion, Zhuge Sak raised the white flag..
Instead, he went to Ju Seo-cheon and threatened him, telling him to protect Jegal Suran or else he would be held responsible..
And before the full-scale operation, Joo Seo-cheon meets an unexpected person among the later Ji-su who joined the special unit..
“you are……”
“Wooden Amitabha Buddha. Long time no see, Jujuju.”
“Isn’t it a hundred steps victory?.”
Joo Seocheon widened his eyes as if he was surprised..
He was Honggo, a disciple of Shinseung, the next great general, and later a priest..
They said they were sending elites, but I never thought it would be Hong Go..
He is definitely one of the elite martial artists in Shaolin Temple, but I never imagined that he would come because of the position..
“I was indebted to you at that time..”
“no. Thank you. Not at all.”
There was a time when I had a grudge, but thanks to Shinseung's mediation, I was able to resolve the bad feelings without any problems..
“I realized my shortcomings in Theravada through previous events and reflected on myself..
Thanks to this, there was some small achievement in martial arts..
I have truly been blessed by you, Lord, in many ways..”
“You mean achievement? That's the red robe of the political faction..”
Joo Seocheon greeted with open arms and was truly happy..
I welcome the fact that the person who later fatally injured Amcheonhoeju has become stronger..
“By the way, what's going on in the special unit??”
“Isn't that because they were organized as a special unit??”
“Hmm? Do you mean Baekbo Kwonseung??”
Joo Seocheon tilted his head as if puzzled..
This time, the separate unit was decided to be filled only with later exponents..
Honggo had a lot of age and experience compared to the latter days..
“I'm sorry for interfering with you without notice. However, since I couldn't just send the review index, I also decided to participate with the Hinayana, who has the power to fight demons..”
“Indeed, I see. If so, we are welcome..”
Although I am confident in my martial arts skills, it is still quite burdensome to have to stand in front of a blood demon..
If an expert who can win at 100 paces joins, the burden will be reduced..
Considering that it has anti-demon powers, blood demons might be wary, but I thought at least one person would be fine..
Of course, I did not just express my opinion, it was the result of my own consideration..
“Then, since Baekbo Kwonseung is here, I should briefly introduce the members of the special unit..”
As soon as the detachment was formed, Zhuge Suran memorized all the faces, names, statuses, and positions of its members..
I'm not a genius for nothing, but it was natural for me to know since I worked with Jegal Sak and organized it myself..
“Then I will ask you a favor, Mosamibon..”
Although Honggo seems to be seeing Zhuge Suran for the first time, he is not entranced by her dazzling off-white color..
Age is age, but since I studied Buddhism as deeply as I did martial arts, I didn't have any rational interest in it..
It was a contrast to the men who were organized into a separate unit and started drooling as soon as they saw Zhuge Suran..
“……Lastly, it is Hodeokchang Sohyeop, the human dragon of the Jongnam faction..”
“I said it looked familiar earlier, but it turns out that Inryong was here..”
Hongo was amazed when he heard the last name..
Ju Seo-cheon was also quite surprised when he saw Ho Deok-chang..
In the early days, Jongnam's Oroein was developed, and even the seasonal Oroejeongin (五雷頂印) was made his own at an unprecedented rate..
He too will leave his name in history in the future..
‘Why are there so many things called genius?!’
Although it was good news, I realized that there were an abnormally large number of geniuses and heroes in this era..
Well, since the war had just begun, they appeared in droves, so it's not strange that they exist now..
After 20 or 30 years from here, it's really crazy..
But it's not all bad.
From the point of view of Beomjae, who was only a little outstanding, the fact that he had so many talents and geniuses gave him despair, but thanks to them, he was able to survive..
Even in modern times, we have not forgotten that gratitude..
If it weren't for the talent and geniuses, Wulin would have been dominated by Amcheonhoe long ago..
“Meet Moorim junior student senior.”
Ho Deokchang was a quiet man, but he had a magnificent body that rivaled that of the Peng family..
Not only was he tall, but his body was so large that it looked like a mountain..
There were no words so it gave the impression that it was a quiet mountain..
“Wooden Amitabha Buddha. It is a pity that the Blood Cult invaded the central plains, but I am very happy to meet the later exponents of the political faction. This kite……”
Hongo's complimentary greeting did not continue..
“Blood religion is just around the corner!”
The blood cult's army appeared through the sand clouds..
