Episode 487. Calling the Typhoon (5)
“Shit, the emperor bastard.”
It was the first time that Xi Liang heard Ho Yao-sung curse.
“Hey, lower your voice.”
“Anyway, that nobleman can’t even hear it! Damn it.”
The emperor doesn’t listen, but the leader is in front of him.
Xi Liang couldn’t bear to say that. Cursing in the face of the leader is one of the most serious crimes, but considering his state of mind, I couldn’t bear to say anything.
“No, there wasn’t a single person you could trust when you said you expanded the power of the imperial palace in your own way? Why are you in Hebei again? Why Beijing again!”
Ho Yo-seong grabbed his head and wrapped it around.
Seo Liang ate his appetite.
“Well, it could have been hard for anyone to believe.”
“But you are the emperor! My God, does it make sense that there really isn’t a single person of his own? why? They say they buried it in the mountain behind the imperial palace, right? Aaaaaa!”
Her hair, which had been perfectly arranged, became a mess in an instant.
Seo Liang coughed in vain.
“Now that we have formed an alliance, let’s think positively.”
“I’m doing this because I can’t think of anything good! If it hadn’t been for the alliance, I would have gone and blew their heads myself!”
“Uh huh, calm down.”
“no, I do not want!”
Ho Yo-seong, who had been vigorous for a long time, let out a sigh as the ground disappeared.
“Well, I must have been in a hurry. I would have even wanted to. If you think your child will drive you out, you can’t do it.”
“yes.”
“… … Are you agreeing?”
“It’s just like that.”
In this case, if you touch it incorrectly, you will be bitten. Xu Liang decided to be careful for today.
“Whatever the reason, it’s impossible not to come because the seal is there.”
“That’s right, that’s right, but I’m just overheated.”
“I understand, I understand.”
Ho Yo-seong let out a deep sigh.
“I can’t send the Demon King’s Spirit this time either.”
That’s right.
It was an organization created to be used for this kind of work, but a great sacrifice was made in this emperor kidnapping operation.
Of course, if they go out after reorganization, they will somehow complete their mission, but only then are they no different from a suicide squad.
It is unreasonable to put the Demon King’s Spirit in for the sake of the future of the Demon King’s Spirit and for the Protestantism.
“What about the old Amazon?”
“The Mazons, so to speak, are holding the line. We are waiting for you to hit the north at any time.”
“In other words, the enemy side must be keeping an eye on the demons as well?”
“If you see an anomaly, you know right away. It’s not like there’s no copycat there either, so you’ll find out about that goal right away.”
After thinking for a moment, Seo Liang asked.
“What if we create a war atmosphere?”
It’s a risky story, but it’s worth it to get the seal.
Ho Yo-seong shook his head.
“They will know. That the emperor does not have a seal.”
Of course.
They don’t have a seal. But not even the emperor.
The seal disappeared before the emperor fell. And I didn’t find it on the way to kidnap the emperor.
In the end, since each other is aiming for the seal, this side is looking at the notice of the other side, and the other side is also looking at the notice of this side.
“Then what do you do?”
“You should think about it.”
“worry?”
Seo Liang snorted.
“Aren’t you sure you already caught some strands?”
“What do you see me as?”
“General commander, rare genius, right-hand man of the leader who will accomplish the great achievement of being the first in the history of the Heavenly Demon Church.”
“It sucks.”
“Look at me vomit. The strategy that caught the strand to some extent.”
Ho Yoseong let out a sigh.
“If you don’t, it’s not creating a war atmosphere, but a real war could break out.”
“It was a war that would not be strange no matter when it broke out. After all, there must be a seal to have a justification. You just need to get your hands on the seal.”
“It is not like that either.”
“ok?”
Ho Yo-seong’s eyes lit up. Her resentment toward the emperor seemed to have subsided a lot.
“Actually, I’m very careful about this part.”
“Stop ringing the rim and tell me.”
“There is nothing more terrifying than an opponent without a back.”
Seo Liang’s eyes flashed.
“If you know that the Seal of the Seal has been taken, from then on, you’re going to push through to the end without any justification or anything?”
“That’s right. Looking at the map so far, the main school still has the upper hand. It has no choice but to be.
Because we were united as one, and we took over half of the Jungwon commercial district by swallowing Gangseo Trading Company.”

“yes.”
“It doesn’t end there. In the meantime, we have provided support by releasing thousands of gold so that the people south of the Yangtze River can live as comfortably as possible.”
“okay.”
“In other words, our school is no different from a country. Of course, the people cannot be said to be the masters of the main school, but public opinion about us is very good.”
“that’s right.”
“But it’s a different story when the enemy starts fighting relentlessly.”
“ok?”
Ho Yo-seong said with a gloomy face.
“If they start catching and killing the people, not us, then the people will turn away from our school. You’d think I didn’t protect you in time.”
“… … .”
“Speaking of which, the moment they march with a massacre in mind, this side is doomed.
Although we captured the public sentiment in the South, we were unable to dispatch troops capable of immediate war in each region.”
“yes.”
“A scorched earth operation that completely devours the enemy’s ability to wage war. If they grit their teeth and use such tactics, it will be a headache for us too.”
That is the biggest drawback of Madou Murim.
Although disintegrated, the Uicheon Alliance and Iron Blood Castle stationed troops capable of immediate war in each region. It was the same in the past, in the days of Kang Ho III.
A force that is not concentrated in one place. So, it is difficult to assemble, but it has a great advantage in local warfare.
However, Cheonma Shinkyo is different.
There is a Madodochilga, but the number of heads is too small. In the first place, Cheonma Shinkyo is a religion and a single armed group.
Branches were set up here and there, but they could not disperse strong forces.
“Even now… … .”
“It’s not possible. They’d infiltrate informants all over the New South we haven’t seen. Even if you haven’t climbed Mt. 100,000, you will know immediately if something happens.”
Looking at each one like this, it seemed that not everyone was doing the military.
“But we can’t launch a scorched-earth operation in the north first.”
Kill innocent people to obliterate the enemy’s ability to wage war?
Absolutely not. It is a last resort, and even if the worst comes, Xu Liang will never act like that.
“In other words, the seal must be captured without the knowledge of mice or birds.”
“yes.”
“That’s why I can’t send a large army to wipe it out.”
“He is too.”
“Even if you show them a big lure, they’ll have a trap in mind too. At least the Hebei area will be surrounded like an iron fence.”
“But it’s a situation where you can’t help but throw the bait, right?”
“That’s right.”
Seo Liang tilted his head.
“Then what? At the same time as throwing a bait so large that it is hard for the enemy to think of it as a trap,
In addition to dispatching troops to carry out the operation, stealth is required so that the enemy does not notice… … .”
“Critically, we need to make sure the enemy doesn’t even think about scorched earth.”
Ho Yoseong looked at Seo Liang.
Xi Liang also looked at Ho Yao-seong.
A moment of silence passed.
“It’s me.”
“… … Yes, that’s for the best.”
It was for this reason that Ho Yaosheng cursed the emperor so much.
In this absurd situation, in the darkness where no light can be seen, the only person who could open the way was Seo Liang.
Xie Liang’s face lit up with interest.
“Right. It has to be me.”
“add.”
“Hocheon Mawangdan.”
“… … That’s right.”
Ho Yo-seong glanced at the ceiling.
“The Hocheon Mawangdan is only a group to protect the leader. Even if you are a general commander, you cannot give orders to the Hocheon Demon Emperor.”
“yes.”
“In other words, you must become the enemy’s bait without the absolute defense of Hocheon Demon Emperor.”
There was silence again.
Seo Liang scratched his head.
“This is it, because I am also self-aware as the head of the Protestant Church. Personally, I don’t think it’s a big deal, but in the big picture, it’s very reckless.”
“you’re right. In fact, if you’re thinking of wiping out the enemy without looking back, you don’t have to step forward.
It’s literally just finding the seal and pushing it with all your might.”
“The enemy, and even the people of the north.”
“yes.”
It was then.
A heavy voice came from somewhere in the air.
“Master. May I show up?”
“I will.”
Squeak.
Suddenly, a man appeared from behind Xu Liang like fog.
It was a man whose entire body was covered in a black-gray uniform. It was hard to guess his age because he covered all of his face except for his eyes. However, the body exposed above his clothes was so solid.
It was Hocheon Mawangdanju, Jincheon (秦闡).
Jincheon opened his mouth.
“General military.”
“Tell me.”
“Do so.”
“yes?”
“I mean, use Operation Scorched Earth.”
Ho Yo-seong’s face hardened.
Jincheon’s eyes deepened.
“The reason I patiently listened to the Hogun’s frivolous attitude toward the headmaster was,
It’s because I didn’t think that the relationship between the headmaster and you was a simple relationship between the ruler and subject. In fact, the headmaster is also comfortable with such a relationship, so I just waited and watched.”
“… … .”
“But it is difficult if it is like this. You are the general of the school. As long as there is no situation where the headmaster is in danger, it would be appropriate to come up with the best answer.”
It was a stern reprimand.
Xu Liang did not get involved in the conversation between the two. I just folded my arms and watched.
Ho Yo-seong sighed.
“I’m sorry, but it’s the headmaster who refuses the scorched earth operation.”
“How dare you pass the blame on to the headmaster?”
“Could that be? I am just stating the reality.”
“Find a way somehow. If there is no other way, you are just incompetent.”
“It doesn’t matter if I’m being criticized for being incompetent. But I haven’t been able to find a way yet.”
“Then spend some more time looking for it.”
“If you had time, would you have come here and whined at the headmaster?”
The eyes of the two collided with sparks.
Jincheon, who was glaring at Ho Yoseong, opened his mouth again.
“I will give you three days. Find a way before that. Otherwise you will die by my sword.”
“Even if I find a way within three days and die at the hands of sobriety, I don’t regret it. Since the Tianhail Tongji System has been set up, you should be able to do something without me.”
Ho Yo-seong’s eyes grew cold.
“There is no way. Let alone three days, not even a day is a waste, so stop talking nonsense.”
“… … .”
“I am well aware of Danju’s loyalty to the headmaster, but don’t overlook it. That there are many people who are more loyal to the headmaster than you are.”
“… … .”
“And one of them is me.”
Jincheon, who was glaring at Ho Yoseong with colorless and transparent eyes, opened his mouth.
“Do you want to die?”
“If it’s for the sake of the school’s victory, I’m fine with dying. But not now.”
At that time, Xi Liang raised his hand.
“stop.”
The two of them shut up.
Seo Liang asked.
“Ho military. Is time really tight?”
“The sooner the better. You can’t give the enemy time to think.”
“That’s right.”
Jin’s eyes twitched.
“Sir.”
“Mawangdanju.”
“… … yes.”
Xu Liang smiled.
“Leave my safety to Dongpil for a while.”
“Sir, teacher!”
“If this operation does not succeed, we will all fall into a living hell.”
“… … .”
“Will you listen to my request?”
Jincheon, who was quietly watching Seo Liang, knelt down.
“How do you ask for it? Please consider my faith in you.”
“Okay, then give the order.”
A terrifying majesty dwelled in the two eyes of Xi Liang.
“Let’s leave in two days. Listen to the details of the operation from Commander Ho.”
