The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman]

Episode 355

The flow of change was not limited to the inside of Lee Dong-cheon, whose owner had changed.

Even outside of them, those who would make a difference were on their way.

Aside from Jinmu and his friends, a secret invasion by outsiders that had never been allowed in the history of the Demonic Cult.

After gathering in Bukdun, the chasing party of the Love Federation, who came to the home of Lee Dong-cheon in pursuit of the traces of the beast, looked inside while hiding in the darkness.

“The boundaries are strict. It doesn’t seem easy to figure out what’s inside.”

“Um…”

At the words of Daegung, who had returned from leading the Eunwidan to inspect the outskirts of Dongcheon Stream, Geomhye stared ahead with a low voice.

The roaring flames are clear even from a distance.

The inside was brightly lit, and soldiers were placed all over the outside of the castle to form a guard net.

But they couldn’t back down either.

A vague outline of the pleural fluid was obtained. It was clear that the palace had dug deep into the Demonic Cult, and its definite tail had reached Lee Dong-cheon.

The Love Federation cannot directly intervene in the events of the Demonic Cult, but it can inform them.

Thanks to the risk, I now have a clear picture.

Although closed, the Demonic Cult, whose pride pierces the sky, cannot tolerate the invasion of non-foreign forces.

Jiaoju and Cheonsan will move.

It is self-evident that if they move, the palace will become the original color.

The first priority for the chasers now was the abducted children.

Perhaps everyone would have been deprived of life and died at the hands of the beast.

But if even one person was alive, they had to save it before it was too late.

Even surviving children had to be sent home.

As a political faction, it was a duty to be followed, and as a sapaecheon, it was an unstoppable task as it was ordered by Jinmu.

“The Great Palace.”

“yes.”

“Lead the Silver Guard and take a closer look inside. We must find the children.”

“…”

At Geomhye’s words, Daegung’s face hardened slightly as if he was in trouble.

However, he soon nodded with a bright face.

“All right.”

“Cheongsang. Together with Unam, if any of the Eunwidan soldiers are discovered and chased by the enemy, annihilate the pursuers as much as possible to protect them.”

“yes.”

“I will make a retreat in case of a possible situation.”

At Geomhye’s words, everyone’s faces stiffened with tension.

Creating a retreat is not just a matter of opening a path.

It means to protect the backs of those who flee in a position where they may have to risk their lives in case of emergency as they fight the closest enemy they are pursuing.

It’s not about leading, but about protecting it. As one of the seven stars of the government and a great adult of the political faction, she was determined to walk toward danger.

“I will stay with you on the retreat.”

Geomhye shook her head with a smile at Cheongsang’s words with a resolute expression on her face.

“No.”

“… the old man.”

“You shouldn’t try to run into danger here. For the sake of the shaman, there is a lot of work to be done in the future for the political affairs.”

“But…”

“I am old. Old people who are waiting for the day to leave this world have work to do. paving the way. That is the duty to do as a senior at Moorim and a person in the highest position, and now I have to keep that duty.”

“…”

“But I can’t promise to protect everyone. don’t forget If by any chance something goes wrong and someone gets caught in the hands of the enemy, throw it away without hesitation.”

“….”

“Even if that would be me.”

Geomhye’s determined attitude made everyone’s heart devour.

And she woke up with a gentle smile.

“Let’s go then. Find the surviving children.”

“yes!”

At the end of everyone’s short answer, the soldiers of the pursuit team secretly hid toward Lee Dong-cheon.

Even though that one answer was no different from their determination to give up their lives.

* * *

On top of a tall tree adjacent to the nature of Idongcheon.

A pair of eyes examine the inside of the moving cloth in a place where the leaves cast darkness by blocking the light spreading from the inside.

Daegung (大弓), leader of the Eunwidan.

In a way, the name of the big bow was really haphazardly built, but it was not his real name in the first place.

He was a descendant of a famous general family.

However, his real name was erased by Hao-wen because he was on the list of traitors long ago, and instead he was called Dae-gung because he was good at shooting an arrow.

It’s always a story hidden from people, but what can I say?

The important thing is that Hyeokryeonmugang rescued him and sent him to Myung Se-chan, and their family was protected because of that.

A minor in the general family? The glory of the past with great power? What use is that?

If it wasn’t for Hyeokryun Moo-gang and Myung Se-chan, he and his family would not have been people of this world.

Others say that they are loyal because they are afraid of being beaten by the Lord of Heaven.

But that was only for external reasons.

He didn’t say it out loud, but most of those who were by Hyeokryeonmugang’s side were saved by him.

Not to mention the Silver Guard, even King Sapaeo was like that.

However, he refrained from mentioning it as well, wondering if Hyeokryeonmugang was deliberately not saying it because they might feel sorry for them.

Anyway, you were needlessly meticulous.

Daegung, recalling memories of the past, smirked and bent the iron rod on his back to protest.

Jinmu orders to find the kidnapped child.

Although he is not the former Cheonju himself, Myung Se-chan is a loyal figure.

No matter what happens, get it done.

Because I know it’s a way to repay the favor, even if it’s just a little bit.

Daegung, who was staring fiercely at the inside of Lee Dong-cheon, who was wearing a night suit and a mask, risked a flesh on the string.

Arrows that are thinner and lighter than normal Silent vision.

Jiik Ping!

There was the sound of the bow leaving the string, but the puncture was hidden.

“Ouch!”

The guardsman of Lee Dong-cheon, touched by the arrow, screamed and collapsed.

Ping pi pi ping!

Every time the string was pulled and released at high speed, the guardsmen collapsed and collapsed, and the silver guardsmen hid in the gaps in the empty boundary.

Half a day would be enough.

They were unmanned people who were more used to looking inside than anyone else, and they excelled at finding things.

“Hwangshin, if he had been there, I would have found him sooner.”

Perhaps, if he had the bright ears of a dog, he would have been able to locate the children without having to go inside.

Daegung laughed bitterly and flung himself like a wild bird.

The landing footsteps were as light as feathers, so there was no sound when they touched the roof tiles, and there was not even a slight flutter because it was a night suit that was tight to the body.

Daegung, who had infiltrated inside, quickly moved his hand toward the warriors of the Eunwidan who were watching him while hiding.

Amsuhwa (暗手話), a conversation between hiders in silence.

If it was an order given to one person, transmission would be enough, but there was nothing better than that to give an order to several people at once.

[Immediately retreat after finding a child inside.]

I could express only concise words, but that was enough.

Oh, come to think of it, when Unam Dojang gets excited, he speaks sign language with his mouth.

Anyway, when Daegung’s hand stopped, there was no trace left there.

While the subordinates went to look inside, there was only one thing the Daegung had to do.

Examine the headquarters where the enemy’s brains are gathered.

I had to be more secretive than ever, and I had to be careful.

The great bow moved very slowly.

With each step, I picked up all my nerves and chose the darker of many darkness.

That’s how I approached the Great Hall little by little.

Eventually, as soon as he climbed over the fence and captured the scenery of the huge inner garden in the front yard of Daejeon Pavilion, Daegung’s face contorted mercilessly.

with a few bronze coins.

Inside… a human corpse?

Have you ever seen these cruel bastards? Did you mean to set fire to the corpse?

However, his eyes soon become sharp.

That withered throat burning in the hearth.

It’s a bastard.

A monster that learned the Suction Magic Attack found at the northern waterfall. The pleural effusion that children needed.

Also, the guy was here.

That splendid Taesa, now empty, must have belonged to him.

But more important was the life and death of the children.

If he exists, there may be children held in the hall to satisfy his hunger.

Daegung carefully inspected the interior.

There were too few places to hide because of the bronze braziers placed all over the place.

At most, it was only near the wall, and even there were soldiers with black lipstick covering their faces as if they were on guard.

And the prisoners tightly packed the front of the Great Pavilion.

Those kneeling, tied to ropes, must have been the warriors of Lee Dong-cheon who lost the war.

It’s their fate, so it’s not their part to get involved. The problem was how to hide inside the Great Corner.

An insidious feeling felt inside the Daejeon Pavilion.

There are those who are hiding.

As the tops would be gathered, the level of unmanned soldiers guarding the place would also be considerable.

If you blindly sneak in, you are likely to be discovered.

What should I do?

There are still many unmanned guards, and those who have been taken prisoner… Prisoners?

A thought passed through the archer’s mind.

yes a prisoner

There was no way that the warriors of the Demonic Cult would be suppressed to the extent of being tied to a rope.

It must have been bloody.

If you solve it, the inside of the main building will undoubtedly be thrown into chaos.

It was only natural that he would be of help to the soldiers of the Silver Widow who hid together.

Daegung, who had been watching the situation with bated breath, hid his bow in a secret place and waited until a small gap came and hid at the edge of the kneeling prisoners.

* * *

“…!”

Unmanned Pyeongsan of Lee Dongcheon.

He was waiting for the day he would die because of the fear of Han Seung’s Suction Magic Gong.

At the same time, an enormous amount of demonic energy fills up.

bleeding was released. how?

A whole tone whispered in my ear before the question was even answered.

[It’s difficult alone. In the event of a melee, some will be able to escape alive. Remove the blood from your colleagues and move together.]

“…?”

There was no one where Pyeongsan turned his head.

No, what is so important about who the person who bleeds himself is.

You have a chance to escape this hellish place.

To do that?

Pyeongsan immediately began secretly bleeding fellow warriors around him.

It doesn’t matter if the bleeding is done properly or not.

many. Not alone, but several.

“Everyone help the fellows around you! Hurry up!”

A small cry was enough.

Among the bloodied ones, those who had chewed up their camaraderie were already throwing their bodies away, but those who were loyal were calling their numbers one by one to escape.

“Wow!”

A sudden shout.

When the prisoners of the Daejeon Pavilion suddenly jumped out in all directions, the soldiers of the Mukgeomdae who were guarding the inside began to panic.

It must have been bloody…

“shit! Ring the emergency bell! Catch those who run away!”

someone’s call.

The confusion the palace had intended began.

A melee between those who want to flee, those who want to fight, and those who want to stop them.

The warriors of the Mukgeomdae were strong, but the number of prisoners was much higher.

A swarm of locusts gathered in one place can be caught by throwing a net, but if they run away in all directions, it is not easy as you have to catch each locust separately.

“Cheak!”

Finally, unable to withstand the group attack of the soldiers who had gone mad at the thought of escaping, one of the soldiers of the Mukgeomdae screamed and collapsed.

And the way was open.

As if the dam had burst, the soldiers of Idongcheon, who had been taken prisoner, began to escape over the fence.

“These motherfuckers! Kill them all!”

In the end, the Mukgeomdae, who drew his sword, committed a slaughter.

Blood spurted everywhere and severed limbs were scattered everywhere.

“What is this?”

Hearing the commotion, Sama-do, a swordsman who was discussing the conquest plan inside Daejeon Pavilion, and Noh Guk-tae, Gwang Sang-pyeong, ran out with a face that could not contain their absurdity.

“What happened!”

One of his subordinates hurriedly ran at the cry of Sama Do, a black sword.

“Those who are free of point blood are escaping over the wall!”

“What? Is it bloody?”

“yes.”

“…”

Samado’s face twisted.

There is no way that point blood will be haemorrhaged on its own.

However, the bigger problem is that the captives’ inner strength remains intact.

I didn’t deliberately destroy the dantian to serve as a prey for the lord of the small palace.

“Where else?”

“It is the first vision that four months have passed. There was no fuss elsewhere.”

“Damn it, tomorrow we will have to go to Samdongcheon. Deploy all the swordsmen and quickly settle the situation!”

“yes!”

At Samado’s command, the subordinate hurriedly blew the whistle.

Beep!

As the whistle rang out, the reserve force of the Mukgeomdae, which had been hiding to escort the headquarters, appeared.

Daegung, the main culprit of the confusion, who saw this, recalls a gloomy smile on his lips.

Three soldiers standing on a platform in front of the Daejeongak Gate.

Even though it is quite far away, it is strong enough to make your skin tremble from its power.

Surely one or all three of them might be beasts.

Anyway, we succeeded in summoning the chieftains and those who guarded the Great Pavilion left, so the inside must be empty. In other words, we can safely look inside.

Daegung found the bow he had hidden and quietly hid behind the Great Hall while maintaining a distance so far that the enemy’s leadership could not feel it.
