Episode 474. Imperial Wind Cloud (8)
“The current situation?”
“There has been a report that the canal speedboat has been hijacked. This is the speedboat that the person who watched the confrontation with the swordsman the other day boarded. It is said that hundreds of boats were anchored at the mouth of the river in Shandong. Thirty of them were captured, so you should be able to come aboard.”
Seo Liang smiled.
“Didn’t you say they were the clans under Shaolin?”
“That’s right.”
“Thank you for helping me with that, but Shaolin would be overturned as well.”
“They said they would step up and help, but what would they do? We thank you.”
“It is, though.”
Seo Liang stroked his chin.
“Are you going to go to the host?”
“I don’t know that far. It’s just a problem that ends when you go to the headquarters of Bukcheombigak anyway.”
“There’s a chance that absolute adherents are involved, right?”
“If that level of masters were involved, the Weiryeongju would have controlled it well. Besides, Namgung Noh Seonbae is also with us, so there won’t be a big setback in the plan.”
“Speed is the key to this operation. If you’re too prudent, you won’t even be able to launch the operation.”
“Of course, that could be the case, but I think the spirit lord will handle that very well. Besides, didn’t you even give Jincheon Thunderbolt to the Blood King’s Boui? We will break through if we get it right.”
“I guess.”
Xi Liang’s eyes deepened.
As Ho Yo-seong knows, there is no such thing as a perfect strategy in the world. Rather, entrusting the most simplified tactics to an experienced unit commander has a high probability of success.
Perhaps the demon lord will do well. Even if there are unexpected masters encamped, Shaolin will take care of it and support it well.
but.
“There was no one else to do this operation other than the Wei Commandment. He was actually a very reliable person. It’s just that he has an element of anxiety.”
“The escape part, and the emotion.”
“Exactly. Looking at the operation reports that the Wiryeongju has been in charge of, the ability of the Wiryeongju to carry out operations is unparalleled. But there are times when I make an embarrassing mistake. It’s time to return right after the mission.”
“There is a sense of over-relaxing.”
“okay. I asked for trust, but people’s habits aren’t easily fixed. Well, that’s it, I believe it will work out somehow… … .”
Xi Liang’s eyes deepened.
“He has too much affection.”
Of course, there are a lot of words and phrases. But he had something that Wi Hong-ryun did not have.
It was the supreme martial arts, quickness, and situation analysis ability.
Wi Hong-ryeon was somewhat inferior to Xu Liang in those three things. Even so, he took care of his people beyond his amount.
It’s a good boss, but it’s an element that can put everyone in danger during an operation.
Ho Yo-seong smiled.
“Why did you send the spirit drink while you were so anxious?”
“I am not anxious. I just wanted to tell you that he has his flaws. And did you say If it wasn’t him, he wouldn’t have anyone to send.”
To be precise, there was no unit commander as trustworthy as Wi Hong-ryeon. And Wi Hong-ryeon had a great advantage that covered the above-mentioned disadvantages.
There are many people stronger than her. There are people who are as quick-witted as she is, and people who command her troops better than she is.
However, there was no unit commander as trustworthy as her. She would be uneasy if she sent someone else, but it reassured her that if she sent her, she would be able to complete her mission somehow.
It was a matter of leaving the military.
“Gong Yachi?”
“No contact yet. They say they will contact you after investigating the situation north of the Yangtze River in more detail.”
“He should be careful too. Dam Sa-yeong will always try to hit Hao-mun.”
“I guess so. However, I know that Gongyachi Somunju is not someone who will be defeated twice by the same enemy. He must have finished all the preparations.”
“Then I’m glad.”
Ho Yo-seong smiled.
Seo Liang frowned.
“What is that disloyal smile?”
“Disloyalty?!”
“Where did you snort like that in front of the religious leader?”
“It’s okay, it’s just that. I want the teacher to be really hard on you too.”
“Are you having a hard time? what?”
Ho Yo-seong smiled again involuntarily.
“The person who always goes out of her way when it comes to important things, isn’t she feeling anxious even though she’s entrusted it to someone she trusts?”
“uh? uh… … is it?”
Seo Liang scratched his head.
Come to think of it, it was the first time I had entrusted such an important and dangerous mission to someone else. Didn’t he run to Gangseoseong directly when he ate the Gangseo store half a year ago?
‘Right.’
Seo Liang let out a sigh.
‘I think I’m starting to realize it now.’
I felt the responsibility of being the head of the team so much that I got tired of it. I don’t know how many times a day I think that this is like this, this is like that, this is like that.
However, there was another lesson learned through this operation.
‘You can’t substitute me.’
It is natural that Wi Hong-ryun is weaker than himself. And it was only natural that his ability to improvise, grasp the flow of battle, and analyze the situation was inferior to his own.
Because he is the Heavenly Demon. In addition, before being reincarnated in the body of the Three Gongja, he was a messenger of death who roamed the central plains for decades as King Sal.
Wi Hong-ryun did nothing better than himself. He had no choice but to do so. Because he has different experiences, different achievements, and different eyes to see the world.
But to Wi Hong-ryun, you shouldn’t ask why you’re not as good as me.
“General military.”
“Yes, teacher.”

“Didn’t Dongpil contact you?”
“ah! Come to think of it, I didn’t tell you. I guess I’m blinking now too.”
Ho Yo-seong took out the letter from his bosom and held it.
“They say they just entered Zhejiang.”
“It’s insanely fast. Was he excited that he went to midfield for the first time in a while?”
“Could that be? Do you know the escort personality? I would have liked to arrive as soon as possible to see the situation.”
“Who is the head of the household?”
Ho Yo-seong smiled.
“We have arrived at Jusan Islands.”
“Okay, everyone has dispersed well to their respective locations.”
Xi Liang’s eyes shone.
“As long as the delivery arrives on time, I hope.”
* * *
“Get on! hurry!”
Parala Rock!
Demon King Ryeong on the fast ship that was docked.
But the pursuers were still there. The elite masters who were guarding the palace were the golden-robed Cheonryongwi.
“Bastards! Throw an arrow meanly?!”
Those who had razed the imperial palace to the ground with the Jincheon Thunderbolt were not the words to say.
Teeing!
Dozens of arrows flew towards the speedboat.
It was terrifying speed. It was a power different from that of other archers.
“Hit it!”
Titi tititing! f*ck!
“Kuk!”
“hey! Are you okay?!”
“Gwa, it’s okay!”
There was no way it would be okay. The arrow pierced the right chest, just where the lung was located. That was the reason for the sound of air escaping in his voice.
As with any other penetrating wound, that part in particular was an area that could not be restored with internal energy. Wi Hong-ryun gritted it.
“Let’s go!”
Chaaaaaaaaaaaagh!
High-speed boats that cut through the sea.
However, the golden heavenly dragon was not standing still. The speedboat docked in the first place belonged to the imperial palace.
Parala Rock.
Thirty speedboats were followed by twenty or so speedboats.
The number of golden heavenly dragons that had caught up to this point was less than half of the Demon King’s command. However, each one of them was a master at the peak of maturity, so the power itself was very strong.
‘I have to protect the emperor, so it’s natural if it’s natural.’
Pipipipiping!
Arrows flew again.
He had no idea how many arrows he was carrying. Wei Hong-ryun shouted out loud.
“Stop it!”
Papapapapang! Damn!
Dozens of arrows were scattered in all directions.
However, there were always one or two arrows that broke through the Demon Lords’ defenses. And the demon lords who were hit by one or two arrows died or were seriously injured.
shiver.
Wei Hong-ryun bit his lip.
She was on the frontmost speedboat. Her arrows did not reach her.
Besides, she had an important mission. She was to take care of the body of the old man she rode with, the empress who had fainted.
But, but.
“… … damn it!”
In my mind, I wanted to unleash the divine method in an instant and hit all the arrows with the Hopo sword.
But now her job wasn’t to cut off the aft end. That role belonged to the subordinates.
what should she do now?
flutter!
When he took off the blood king’s robe, an old man with a pale complexion appeared.
The skinny limbs reminded me of bare branches. Almost all of his hair was bald, and even his sparse beard looked like it would break apart if you touched it. My body was so weak that I couldn’t overcome the sea wind and trembled.
At first glance, the details were not good. Wei Hongryeon took out a golden medicine from his bosom.
Took.
She forced the old man’s mouth open and shoved the medicine down his throat.
It is said to be the most honorable position in the world, but it did not apply to her. Her hands were very rough as they tapped her uvula.
gurgling.
The medicine went down the old man’s throat on its own.
Wi Hong-ryun said to Kwak Sang, who rode with him.
“I’m going to get this damn old woman up in shape from this time on. Hold on no matter what!”
“Do not worry.”
“f*ck you! You don’t seem to be worried now!”
Buryeongju and Kwak Sang-i grinned.
“If it doesn’t work, I’ll use a Jincheon wall grenade.”
Yu Hong-ryun’s eyes widened.
“what? Do you have one left?”
“yes.”
“You crazy bastard! Then you should have written it right away! Can’t you see the kids getting hurt?!”
“No, not now.”
“what?!”
Kwak Sang’s face became serious.
“Things like this should be left for the last time. Our deaths are not the problem. Isn’t the most important thing for us right now to successfully complete this mission?”
“Baby! It’s over if you put all those dog-like bastards in the water… … !”
“Are you sure?”
Wi Hong-ryun felt that he was at a loss for words for a moment.
Kwak Sang smiled.
“Do you know why I came in right away as soon as the Commander called me? But it was because Lord Ryeong was a person who could think of his subordinates.”
“… … Damn it.”
“But you almost ruined a few missions by doing this before, didn’t you? You can’t do that this time either. This is an order from the headmaster himself.”
“Your shit is thick, you damn bastard.”
“It’s okay, so hurry up and take care of this noble person. Among us, there is no one who can handle history as delicately as the Commander.”
Wei Hong-ryun turned his head.
“Let’s hold out for a little while.”
“yes!”
That’s how the speedboat carrying the Demon King’s Spirit crossed the sea.
The speed of the speedboat was truly amazing. The speed is also fast, but the power is so good that it can cut through any current.
But that was the case for the other side’s speedboat as well. Having used up all his arrows, the golden-robed Cheonryongwi even pulled the bowstring with true spirit.
If you’re lucky, you’re lucky. They were also human beings, so they had no choice but to get tired, and the power of the bow decreased as time passed.
On the other hand, the Demon Lords outnumbered them by more than twice. Intermittently replacing the tail and conserving stamina, there was no damage after two days.
A chase after chase.
The attack disappeared, but something more terrifying than a lively attack gradually invaded the demon lord.
It was hunger and thirst.
“a little bit… … .”
Yu Hong-ryun’s face was thin. She couldn’t drink and her lips parted.
In the case of Moorim people, the canteens provided on the high-speed boats were enough to last 2 days. However, the problem was the emperor who rode with him.
The emperor needed a lot of water and food. He had no choice but to keep the minimum lifeline attached.
Because of only one emperor, the entire demon lord suffered from hunger and thirst.
“Let’s be patient for a bit, we.”
Another day passed like that.
Around the time when the high-speed boat carrying the demon king entered Zhejiang.
Shoot Aaaaaa!
“What, what?”
Dozens of ships approached from afar.
Wi Hong-ryun’s eyes trembled.
“Chang River Canal? These bastards are only going to play in the Yangtze River, so what are they doing all the way to the sea?!”
Now that wasn’t the problem.
None of the Demon Kings possessed full physical strength. As of now, there is no way to stop them.
‘Is this how it ends?’
Wi Hong-ryun looked at Kwak Sang.
There was a bright light in his eyes.
“… … Did you listen well to me?”
“I know.”
“Lord Lord, you have to somehow hold on to that old woman. Did you know?”
“of course… … It should be.”
Kwak Sang took out a Jincheon wall grenade from his bosom.
“Damn it, I wish I could buy myself some time with this one… … .”
It was then.
Woo woo woo woo!!
A long drumming sound coming from somewhere.
The surprised demon king looked ahead.
Piyi Ying!
From the giant ship approaching at terrifying speed, a huge long spear pierced the air.
The long spear passed through the speedboat that the demon king rode in at once, and was embedded in the water canal boat that followed the closest.
Kwajik! Wow!
The ship hit by the spear caused an instant explosion.
“What, what?!”
“What is it?”
Wei Hong-ryun’s expression brightened.
The one holding another spear at the head of the giant was a very large middle-aged man.
“I lived, Sibel. It’s the whale man.”
