Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 495 Destiny Calls (7)

After Seo-ryang leaves.

Gwangmazon, who personally called the head of the Iron King and delivered a letter, returned to the front line.

“What did you say?”

Gwangmazon said calmly.

“Is there anything else to say? This is a letter that the leader of the church asked me to deliver directly, but it is not something that a mere commander of a combat unit can argue about. “It will probably be delivered within a few days.”

Gorumazon chuckled.

“I’m not saying that. “Didn’t that guy, the captain, provoke you?”

“There was nothing like that. If something happens, it’s a situation where you have to deal with it head-on immediately. “The Lord of the Iron Blood Castle also has an idea, so why would he send someone like that?”

“Well, Wonju’s words are also correct.”

The Gwangmazon’s eyes became as deep as an abyss as he looked at the stationed Iron King VIII.

“It’s significant. “The inaction did not reach the point of peace, but he was no ordinary warrior.”

“What do you mean it’s not normal?”

“Even though he is a martial artist, his intelligence seemed to be excellent.”

“exactly?”

“That’s right. It is indeed the Iron Blood Lord. “It’s amazing that he has someone like him under his command, and the insight he has in placing someone like that in the center is also amazing.”

“center?”

Gorumazon was a typical demon and martial artist. Although he had experience commanding troops when he was young, strategies were usually developed by his subordinates.

Gwangmazon was different.

“Between Honam and Hubuk, so to speak, it is the front line closest to the center in the central plains.

In places like that, it’s normal to dispatch enough force to push through to the end no matter what happens. In other words, in normal cases, an expert with good firepower is deployed.”

“That’s right.”

“The Iron Blood Lord’s judgment was different. Rather than a master with good firepower, he dispatched a commander-type warrior who knows how to see the game.

A person who knows how to thoroughly control the left and right troops from the center. “He is someone who knows how to use his troops flexibly, even if he is not physically strong.”

Gwangmazon’s eyes turned to the military commander with whom he had been talking for a long distance.

He was too far away to even tell if it was him, but he was sure it was the captain. Because the location was like that.

“If a battle breaks out, I will lead this commander and troops to break through the center as quickly as possible. “You must kill that leader first.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

It was then.

“Hmm?”

The two people looked south.

There was a red bird flying in with a screeching sound. It was a blood clot roaming freely in the sky.

“Isn’t that hawk the blood god of the military department?”

“That’s right.”

Gwangmazon frowned.

‘Why? There’s no way I’d send a blood clot unless it’s an extremely urgent matter.’

An unknown anxiety came over me.

After a while, a rather large hawk sat on Gorumazon’s forearm. The claws were as hard as steel, but they didn’t manage to pierce my forearm.

Gwangmazon’s complexion turned pale as he quickly pulled out the letter hanging from the Blood God’s ankle and read it.

“Why are you doing that?”

“….”

“Won-ju?”

Gwangmazon showed the letter to Gorumazon.

In the letter it was written as follows:

Please stop the leader from heading to Hubei. Wudang Mountain is suspicious.

There is a high possibility that it is an enemy trap. If the leader has crossed over to Hubei, you will have to chase after him, leaving only the minimum number of troops to maintain the front line.

You can find out the leader’s movement information by going to the Honam Sangdeok branch.

Gorumazon was amazed.

“Oh no!”

It has already been more than half an hour since the leader left. By now, you should be heading to Hubei by boat.

“What would you do, Wonju?”

Gwangmazon tried to remain as calm as possible. This was because I knew very well that making a hasty move at a time like this would be a loss for everyone.

I glared at the Iron King Eight Armies.

‘Anyway, Madochilga is supporting us. Even if Goru and I are missing, the battle can be fought with just the Chenmai army.

In case of emergency, all you have to do is retreat and block with the troops of the Seven Families.’

The problem was that he was in charge of this front.

The life of the leader must be prioritized above all else. However, the risk is not yet visible. In that case, you should not ignore the orders given directly by the leader.

‘Plus, the author.’

I’m concerned about the captain who leads the Iron Kings.

If his insight was not wrong, that guy was definitely a talent capable of inflicting a huge blow on this front line without training in absolute martial arts.

Gwangmazon spoke quickly.

“Follow the leader with all your might. No matter what we do, we must reach Hubei first.

“Go to the branch closest to Hubei and find out the direction of the leader’s movement. Then, make contact with the leader and retreat.”

It was a quick and cool decision.

“If the connection with the religious leader continues to deviate.”

The Gwangmazon’s eyes spewed fire.

“I will continue to push my way up through the Iron King Eight Years.”

* * *

“Hoo?”

Sigh!

The speed at which the huge ship moved through the current was truly terrifying.

Xu Liang let out pure admiration.

“Shall I dig into some tricks later? “This is incredibly useful study, right?”

Mudam cleared his throat.

“Church leader.”

“why? Look at that. Do you think something like that is possible just because you’re strong in martial arts? “I can’t do that either.”

Sigh!

The moving speed of the huge ship, which could almost be called a ship, was several times faster than that of an ordinary speedboat.

Even though there were no people on the ship, the king was loaded and a carriage was loaded. In addition, it must have been quite heavy as it carried six famous horses, which were close to spiritual objects.

Still, it’s fast. Even though the wind wasn’t helping, the speed was like a storm.

It was entirely the power of Gijong’s Beast King.

Fuwaaaaaaa!

The pouring river water tore left and right, meeting a huge reef and rising high into the sky.

Wooooow.

Ki Jong-ui’s eyes were dyed sky blue even to the whites. It was a bright and clear light, like the sea with a cloudless sky.

‘Reverse water, abdication.’

Sigh!

The enormous current increased the speed of the ship.

It divides the water in front into left and right in advance and amplifies the force of the river pushing from behind. It was the power to freely control water power.

It is said that the high priests of the sun, moon, and the five elements fight using techniques that reach the limit of the energy they are each responsible for.

The Fire King that the demon king spirit encountered spewed fire, and the great priest of Mokjeong, whom Xu Liang met during the Xiaoqiao era, also used the characteristics of wood energy to perform a martial arts attack.

But I thought that no one could do something as amazing as this. I still couldn’t believe that I could control the flow of the river.

‘If that guy was in the imperial palace, he wouldn’t have been able to kidnap the emperor.’

Even if he had succeeded in falling into the waterway, he would have been caught due to his speed. Even if it didn’t speed up, it could have caused great damage by manipulating the water itself.

‘There are many mysterious studies in the world.’

Seo-ryang’s eyes sparkled.

‘But…’

He looked at Ki Jong-ui’s face.

To be precise, I felt his energy by looking at his face.

‘You’re overexerting yourself.’

Ki Jong-ui’s back was soaked.

It’s not wet from splashing water, it’s sweat. Controlling the flow of this river seemed to be a difficult task even for the so-called Water King.

‘Isn’t it obvious?’

This goes against the order of nature. Furthermore, controlling water means controlling an enormous amount of weight. Even if inaction had reached the point of disaster, it was not something to be taken lightly.

Fuuuuuuu!

At once, it seemed like a huge water column burst out, but then the speed slowed down noticeably.

“Huh. “Huh.”

Ki Jong-ui gasped and sat down.

He sat cross-legged on the spot and immediately began to cry.

It was a pretty bold distribution. Even though there were demonic cult leaders and extreme demon masters who were said to be the leaders of a rare demon group right next to him, he entered into the attack without hesitation.

No matter how much he promised, it wasn’t easy to show such courage.

Xu Liang smiled.

‘He may be an enemy, but at least he’s not someone who will stab you in the back.’

Ki Jong-ui was a cautious man. But that wasn’t his nature.

And, as is usually the case with acquired knowledge, caution that is not properly practiced has the potential to worsen the situation at a critical moment.

‘In that respect, I guess the same goes for me.’

Then Mudam spoke.

“It is as great as the leader said.”

“yes?”

“It’s dangerous because it’s so great. “I don’t think there will be that many experts, but if you plan your strategy well in your preferred terrain, you will be able to unleash a disastrous force.”

“I guess so.”

“Therefore, it is beneficial to kill it now.”

Xu Liang chuckled.

“That’s a remark that doesn’t suit your personality.”

Mudam shook his head.

“I can’t ignore danger just because it doesn’t suit my personality. “If you know where your destination is, you don’t need guidance, right?”

“I guess that’s true too. But I need that friend in another way too.”

“yes?”

Xi Liang pointed to the northeast with his chin.

‘ah!’

Mudam nodded. It reminded me of the Demon Emperor Group attacking Hebei.

But I immediately had doubts.

‘This person is directly connected to Damsayeong. Rather, getting rid of this person and causing incidents and accidents throughout the central plains…’

That is a way to make the enemy even more ambiguous. In the first place, this was a bait to recapture the royal seal, not a trip to the central plain to make a deal with Dam Sa-yeong.

‘You must have an idea.’

Mudam, who was worried, soon gave up his thoughts.

Who would be able to guess what the leader is thinking? This young religious leader was the one who strengthened the Protestant religion by fighting many battles.

This time, you will definitely be drawing a big picture. He believed so.

After a while, Ki Jong-ui released his grip and stood up.

“how is it? Is it worth buying?”

“exactly.”

Even though he said that, his face was still pale.

The amount of energy he poured out in a short moment was beyond imagination, and it was surprising that he was able to control his internal energy to a certain extent with only that much luck.

Xi Liang looked at the river.

‘The closer the water is, the faster the recovery. ‘It would be good to know this.’

Ki Jong-ui continued speaking quickly.

“I will combine this type of movement with two days of incest. If you head northwest, you will be able to get on land quickly, and once you get on land, it is expected to take about six days…”

“It is not northwest, it is due north.”

Ki Jong-ui tilted his head.

“What are you talking about?”

“Go north. “Because I have a place to stop by.”

“No. “I give orders to my lord…”

“Then are you going to die here?”

“….”

“do not worry. “It will be a little late, but I plan to go to Mt. Wudang and see your master in person.”

“Where on earth do you want to stop by?”

“well? “I don’t know that.”

“…What does that mean?”

“They need to contact me first. “If I don’t hear from you, well… let’s just hang out for a few days.”

A cool smile formed on Seoryang’s face as he looked up at the sky.

“I don’t know if you’re all better by now. Actually, there are probably a lot of good lawmakers there.”
