Chapter 6
Since Ong'an was occupied by the government for a long time, it has well-equipped military facilities such as barracks and watchtowers..
The retreating Guizhou army arrived at Yong'an and quickly began reorganizing..
“There are about 800 dead and 500 injured..”
“Severely injured and lightly injured?”
“There are 200 seriously injured and 300 lightly injured..”
“Excluding the dead and seriously injured, has it decreased to 3,500?.”
Shin Do-gyun sighed and leaned against the backrest..
“Amcheon-gun?”
“According to the reconnaissance warrior, the damage to the Amcheon army is estimated at 500 deaths..”
Maeng Cho-hyuk reported on his behalf..
“hmm.”
A groan came out from the mouth of the Guizhou military leadership..
Despite being numerically superior, the damage was severe..
Well, it wasn't strange that there was a difference in the level of force..
Still, it didn't do as much damage as I thought..
“First, prioritize the treatment and supply of the injured..”
Guizhou County began a major reorganization in Yongan..
Go Hoon, head of the Gwiju branch of the Geumui Sangdan, was in charge of supply, and the injured were entrusted to the doctors of the Hwain Clinic..
“The retreat went smoothly and there wasn't much damage, but it feels uneasy as if I didn't clean up after doing my business..”
“okay. It was so easy.”
Maeng Cho-hyuk agreed with Light’s opinion..
“Let us answer that question..”
The command barracks opened and a group of people entered..
“Heo Eok!”
“Hut!”
The military personnel at the command center held their breath for a moment..
The off-white color of the women in the group was so beautiful that I was involuntarily enchanted..
“execution!”
“Naksamae!”
Nak So-wol smiled as if she was happy to see Joo Seo-cheon..
Joo Seo-cheon also saw Nak So-wol and greeted her warmly..
“Oh my goodness. You put me in front of the temple, but you say hello to someone else first. It's cruel of the Sword God..”
Even though Dan Lihua said it, he smiled mischievously and joked..
“The atmosphere was unusual before, but I'm wondering if it's a relationship that goes beyond the death penalty..”
Luo Xiaoyue closed her mouth and blushed at Dan Lihua's words..
“However, I knew that you had delusions in your brain, but I would like you to do it while looking at the location and situation..”
Danghye, next to Luo Sowol, spoke in an unpleasant voice..
At her words, Dan Lihua’s eyes were curved like a crescent moon..
“jealousy?”
“it's annoying.”
Tang Hui frowned..
“Pa, Dokbong on Pageumbong Peak……”
“Huh!”
Exclamations came from all over the place..
Martial arts celebrities arrived one after another.
“Mo, Mosamibong has come..”
Shin Do-gyun was surprised to see Jegal Suran..
From the perspective of dreaming of a central position, Mosa, who would later become one of the pillars of the Murim League, was one of the people who had to be seen well..
In addition, the martial arts world's most powerful people gathered together, and the command barracks was about to become noisy for a moment..
match!
Zhuge Suran clapped his hands and attracted attention..
“Sorry, but is it okay if I get to the point??”
Only then did the leadership understand the situation and sit down..
“nice to meet you.
Their names are Mosamibong and Zhuge Suran, the unit commanders of the detachment dispatched from the Murim League headquarters..”
Zhuge Suran politely folded his hands and greeted..
For reference, Byeoldong Daeju was a simple currency..
Joo Seo-cheon was also a member of the separate unit, but because he did so much solo action, he was not suited to be the representative..
Therefore, Dan Li-hwa, who had a lot of combat experience and was an expert in Hwa-gyeong, was selected as the special master..
“I am aware of the circumstances surrounding the first clash that occurred half a day ago..”
“Come to think of it, I didn't say I would answer the question from earlier.?”
I asked as if I was curious about the lighting..
Then Zhuge Suran shook his head and answered.
“yes. What they're after is a more certain victory..
Since reinforcements would arrive soon, we decided there was no need to force ourselves into an unnecessary fight..”
“Support troops??”
“A few days ago, we were attacked by Surim Guchae on our way to Gwiju from near Dongjeong Lake..”
“……”
Surprised voices came from all over the place..
“Are you really saying that Jeoklim 18chae joined hands with Amcheonhoe??”
Shin Do-gyun’s face darkened..
The Jeokrim Eighteen Houses were not stupid, and in the current situation, there was no way they would have mistakenly attacked a separate unit full of masters..
Knowingly attacking it means that you have the political and political alliance as your enemy..
“yes.”
As soon as we got out of the Dongdong Lake, Jeon Seo-gu was sent by special express to each branch of the Political and Political Union..
The Jeoklim 18chae, a group of black swordsmen, are nothing more than a band of thieves, but their numbers are not small and they are quite a nuisance..
While they were already troubled by traitors, the conversion of the neutral Jeoknim 18-chae was a big problem..
‘Is this what happens in the end?.’
Joo Seocheon’s face also darkened..
I personally stepped forward and destroyed it, but as time passed, history ended up repeating itself by joining hands with Amcheonhoe..
‘If I had had any spare time, I would have subjugated him, but I didn't have the luxury of time.……’
The election of Jeoklim general creditors was faster than expected..
They succeeded in inducing a civil war to break out, such as intentionally leaving behind treasures, but it did not last as long as expected..
Above all, the political faction was extremely busy due to the Battle of Jeonghyeol, the Battle of Jeongma, and the emergence of Emperor Gwon Dong-je..
It was a problem because half of the Sado Cheondo forces were split..
Hong Ha and… … I've vaguely heard of it in a past life, but I don't know the details..
‘Unlike the present life, in the previous life, Jeoklim Eighteen Houses were used by Meng Gang and Cheon Ki to check the enemy forces, but were destroyed..’
When I was Elder Hwasan Oh, I read several books right before I died, so although I knew a lot, I didn't know everything..
“Above Gwiju is Junggyeong, the nest of Jeokrimdo Island, so there is a high possibility that it has joined Amcheongun by now..”
“If you had a numerical superiority and even that disappears,……”
Shin Do-gyun's voice was full of worry..
“What is the number of people in the separate unit??”
I asked the light out of curiosity..
“There are 50 second-class warriors, 30 first-class warriors, and 20 peak and transcendent masters, for a total of 100..”
Dan Lihwa answered instead..
“hmm.”
Unfortunately, the separate unit was a separate unit..
The level of support troops was not sufficient..
Although the skills were high, the number was too small..
The front line is not just here in Guizhou..
The Seven Star Soldiers of the Amcheonhoe, including traitors, are moving everywhere..
Other places were also busy blocking that place..
It was a time when I was thinking about what to do..
Joo Seocheon opened his mouth..
“It's not that there is no way. We have prepared an alternative.”
“Alternative, you mean??”
People around me widened their eyes..
“First of all, I'm very sorry for not telling you in advance..
It's not that I particularly doubt you, but since the eyes and ears of Amcheonhoe are around, I'm finally bringing it up now. Please understand.”
“Hehehe, that could be true. It doesn't matter.
Isn't the situation the situation??”
Shin Do-gyun took the lead and tried to get over it by coughing..
If they were noblemen from the political faction who valued face, they might have expressed displeasure and asked if they did not trust them, but the political faction members of Gwiju were soft-headed and not hard-headed..
Even if you are a hard-hearted political believer, you would not dare express your dissatisfaction in front of the Sixth Place of Heaven..
“Sun Tzu said that a place that one can go to but that is difficult to return to is called a hexagram..”
“King Kai (可以往) Nan Iban (難以返) Wall Gwae (曰桂)).
The death penalty, the death of the enemy, the departure of the enemy, the departure of the deceased).”
As long as the enemy is not prepared, he can advance and win..
“Confucianism and Confucianism (出而不勝)).”
If the enemy is prepared, he cannot advance and win..
“It's difficult, it's against the odds, it's against the odds.).”
It's hard to come back, so there's no benefit..
“We will use this hexagram.”
This is a phrase from Sun Tzu's Art of War Topography..
“Do you mean the Kimunjin method??”
Shin Do-gyun glanced at the Jegal poached egg and asked:.
“Similar. Please be careful not to let information leak out..”
Joo Seo-cheon was careful and cautious in case someone might hear it, and conveyed it to important people through e-mail..
『Even if you are surprised, please listen without making a sound.』
‘……’
People looked surprised at the voice they heard in their ears..
‘Jeonum Ipmil?’
‘How can the swordsman do the sound?……?’
Jeoneum Ipmil is one of the arts classified as Eum Gong..
The principle is similar to ventriloquism, but different..
Clench your teeth so that your tongue is not visible, and open your mouth slightly when speaking.
It was a method of breaking down the sound waves that transmit voices through the inner ear and then recombining them into the ears of the desired person..
Along with the Shaolin Temple's Lion's Hood, the Yin Gong was popularly known, but it was very difficult and consumed a lot of internal energy..
I've never even heard of volcanic waves having electromagnetic waves..
『Not far from Yongan, there is a trade route in Gwiju used by the gold merchants for supply purposes..
We have set up an institution nearby..
We are planning to lead them here..』
Everyone frowned when the name of the institution was mentioned..
‘Agency?’
‘Are you serious??’
‘No, no matter what……’
At this time, the importance of institutions is not yet highlighted..
After the era of war began, they attacked the Bunta of Amcheonhoe and suffered a lot of damage from the organization..
In the case of Remarks of the God of Three Eyes and Tomb of the Evil Demon, Joo Seo-cheon dismantled or destroyed most of them, so the topic of discussion was low, so the danger was not clearly apparent..
At other times, it would have been difficult to rely on obsolete technology in a decisive battle for the fate of Guizhou..
『I know what you're thinking, but please believe me. For your information, the establishment of the institution received extensive support from the Geumui Chamber of Commerce..
Would the owner of the merchant, known as the king of merchants, spend money on nonsense??
Also, this swordsman will guarantee it, so please trust me..』
‘Umm.’
‘Hahaha……’
‘Isn’t it the Sword God and the Sangwang??’
Reputation is essential to command during war..
If someone is unknown or is in charge of command, they tend not to listen to orders..
However, it is different if you have the hero who led the war to victory, the Sixth Chair of the Upper Heavens, and the King of the Upper World as your guarantee..
It gave strength to Joo Seo-cheon’s persuasion..
‘Part of me wanted to hide it until the end, but if I don't show the diagram of the organization, there's a chance that I might make a mistake and get my allies involved as well. You should at least tell the commander..’
Joo Seocheon did his best to persuade the command..
Even if you can make them follow your orders, it is not good if you make them doubt or feel anxious until the end..
We persuaded the operation to proceed as naturally as possible..
‘Succession, now it’s your turn to make a name for yourself..’
Gwiju's Jinui Merchant Marine Company established an institution using abundant funds and excellent labor force called Ghost Gok..
In addition, there was Kimun-dongjin's Mosamibong, so it was time to show the power of the engine-jin method..
Ju Seo-cheon gathered the Guizhou military command and explained the organization..
Go Hoon of Geumui Sangdan assisted with the explanation as a co-manager..
During the reorganization, Joo Seo-cheon accelerated his martial arts training in his free time..
“Death penalty, training with a fist rather than a sword... … Long time no see. Is this a plum blossom company??”
During my training, Luo Sowol came and spoke to me..
Plum Fist is the basis for training before even holding a sword, but training is not uncommon..
Sometimes I practice to organize my thoughts or relax my body..
“little.”
Joo Seo-cheon welcomed Nak So-wol warmly..
I had just finished training..
The two brothers sat down in a suitable place and had a conversation..
“They say that if you become a plum inspector, you don't often appear in the Gangho, but my case is a little different..”
Nak So-wol sat next to Joo Seo-cheon and smiled bitterly..
The elite of Hwasan, Maehwa Swordsmen, rarely have to appear in the Gangho..
Usually, ordinary disciples only go out on missions that they cannot solve, but recently, the situation has become so chaotic that they have come forward like this..
It was better than being confined to a monastery at a very energetic age, but I couldn't help but like it because it was proof that martial arts were not peaceful..
“I hope this war ends as soon as possible.”
Luo Sowol said while sitting down and hugging his legs..
“ah……”
When I looked at her face, admiration involuntarily flowed out of me..
‘Plum blossom peak……’
Plum blossoms blooming amidst war. There was no Nak So-wol who was just a child..
I've seen that bitter smile you make after becoming a lady before..
At the time it was just a glimpse from behind, but now it was different..
was sitting right next to me.
“I know this is immature, but I hope this war ends without anyone dying..
Because the sadness of losing someone is very painful..”
Luo Xiaoyue recalled a past incident while speaking..
The pain of when Joo Seo-cheon, the death penalty that is more precious than anyone else, went missing or the news of his death became known, is still not forgotten..
It was a sadness that cannot be expressed in words..
“actually… … It's a shameful story, but that's why I applied because the death penalty followed. I don't want to be around like I used to, and I don't want to hear that someone I care about has died..”
Luo Sowol smiled a little embarrassed and blushed..
Joo Seo-cheon looked at Nak So-wol in surprise..
“Why, why are you like that??”
Nak So-wol was at a loss as to what to do with a face as hot as a ripe persimmon..
My eyes were shaking as if I was very embarrassed..
“Oh, I'm sorry. Just, just… … I'm surprised and moved. Thank you for telling me I'm precious. Me too, same thing.”
“……yes.”
A happy smile appeared on Nak So-wol’s lips..
Joo Seo-cheon thought of Nak So-wol of the present and the future..
‘Heroes are people too.’
Nak So-wol was a hero that Joo Seo-cheon admired..
Those feelings and feelings still haven't gone away.
I reached out and tried to look at her back..
He was one of those people whose lifelong goal was to.
Until now, I had somehow thought that they were not human, but more like immortals or Buddha..
But looking at it this way, it’s not like that either..
Heroes also wanted their own little happiness, not the greater good..
‘Are you like that too? Shinseung, Geomseong.’
When I closed my eyes, I saw the backs of many people..
