Episode 359
The authority of the strong (1)
“Father!”
“Did you get a call?”
“yes!”
A smile spread across Zhuge Munho’s face as he received the letter from Zhuge Zhen.
“also.”
I knew I would handle it properly. This letter was a victory report that Yeonhojeong and Danggwan Mukbi had won.
Zhuge Wenhu believed in them. However, no operation could be ten percent certain. Because there are always variables in what people do.
But fortunately, the three clearly proved their abilities. There may have been help from the Mortal Army, but it was entirely their fault that they held on until the allies arrived.
“I would have already gone up to their base by now.”
It was then.
“Soldier! “I have an urgent message from my intelligence advisor!”
“Urgent report?”
Zhuge Lien’s eyes widened as he read the letter handed over by the informant.
“Gunpowder…?!”
Zhuge Yan asked with a surprised expression.
“You mean gunpowder? “Is this the gunpowder I know?”
“okay. “It is said that in order to wipe out the enemy’s stronghold, they asked the provincial commander to use gunpowder.”
It is gunpowder, not fire bomb.
In some ways, gunpowder was more difficult to handle than fire bombs. Depending on the manufacturing method, fire bombs can be protected by attaching a safety device or making the shell thicker, but gunpowder explodes immediately when it catches fire.
Additionally, it is vulnerable to humidity. This is especially true the more powerful the gunpowder is.
‘They handed over gunpowder, not fire bombs… Considering the cost and difficulty of management, it means that the women’s side also risked life and death.’
No matter how much the provincial commander is, he has no choice but to bear a great burden to leak that amount of gunpowder to the outside world. Moreover, now that the power of the empire has weakened, if you are caught in the wrong, you could be removed from office.
‘is not it. In fact, gunpowder might be safer.’
When a fire explodes, a residue is bound to be left behind. On the other hand, if gunpowder explodes, that’s it.
If the gunpowder was given to him to avoid any possible harm, then it can be said that Yeosang is not an ordinary person either.
‘No matter what, as long as gunpowder is mobilized, we will be able to achieve victory without major damage.’
The Tangma Murder Army was a unit with extensive knowledge in the use of fire bombs. I heard that they went beyond simply using it and even trained on the blast radius and penetration path.
What’s left?
‘The small children can be dealt with by the Tangmamyulsa joint force. But what about Go Soo-jin?’
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes deepened.
‘There may be a great expert hiding there. Of course, I think that the level of eighteen warriors is everything, but….’ What
if one or more masters come?
What if someone stronger than a transcendent expert takes his place there?
‘That won’t be possible. Even if that’s the case, our forces are by no means lacking.’
Zhuge Literary Master did not know how strong the Shengtian Thirteen-Level Master was.
Naturally, the power in that area will surpass common sense. Perhaps he could easily deal with the strength of three or four heads of the six families.
However, if it’s just a matter of retreating, that amount of power will be enough. I was confident of that much.
‘Nobody else knows, but Commander Yeon and Gaju Moyong will not get hung up on a fight they cannot win.’
When I thought about it that way, I finally felt relieved.
It would be heartbreaking if any of our allies died, but those four in particular must never die in this fight. Of course, it will have to be like that in the future.
Zhuge Wenhu looked out the window.
Sunset time. By now, all the fighting would have already ended.
How did Hanam’s final battle end?
“…I hope everyone is safe.”
* * *
Kugugoogung!
The Tangma Army’s advance was completely different from the Mortal Death Army’s advance.
Quang! Whoa whoa!
“Kaaak!”
“Aaaah!”
It doesn’t end with just cutting and stabbing.
Soldiers were not the only ones wearing heavy armor. While the steeds of the Immortal Army were strong and nimble, the steeds of the Tang Demon Army were heavy and full of power.
Since it is equipped with heavy armor and is attacked, its destructive power is not something that even the best expert can easily overcome. As their bodies were damaged by all kinds of spears and swords, the hooves of war horses trampled over their bodies.
Kwakwakwak! Quang!
Even though all the gunpowder has been exploded, explosions are still heard here and there. I could see how incredible the charging power of the Tang Demon Army and the weight of the warhorse were.
Mo Yong-woo shouted.
“Make sure to kill them one by one! “These guys have a tough lifeline!”
There was no mention of beheading them or crushing their heads.
However, even without such an explanation, the soldiers faithfully carried out Mo Yong-woo’s orders. Even though they used powerful charging skills, their eyes were cold and sunken.
Yeo-guk whistled without realizing it.
“It’s a huge destructive force.”
Pow!
Pang Man-ho, who had blown off the head of one of the myth soldiers, spoke calmly.
“Except for the corridor area, the formation is perfect even though this is the first time the entire army has been mobilized.”
“It’s like putting training on your body that’s reminiscent of actual combat. Otherwise, it would be impossible to show such movement and composure at the same time.”
“Whatever it is, it finally looks like a military unit.”

“That’s right.”
Fuuuuuuu!
Song Yeon-gyeong shouted as she pierced the neck of one of the myth soldiers with her merciless spear skills.
“This is not the time to criticize our allies’ skills! Run!”
“Oh, of course.”
Pabababak!
The Death Army’s attack was fast and sharp. Tangma’s army’s attack was massive and full of destructive power.
The joint attack of the Tang Demon army attacking from the front and the Mortal Death army pouring in like crazy from the left and right were truly hand and foot in perfect harmony. They were annihilating the enemy very efficiently without invading each other’s territory.
Of course there was a reason for that.
“Ugh!”
Sixth Army Commander Go Hyeok staggered back.
The left side of his body was covered with terrible wounds. Part of the body was covered in blood, and even the bones were exposed.
This was because, without any preparation, they were hit by an explosion of gunpowder. Although it was a highly explosive gunpowder, it was fortunate that the body did not explode. However, due to the terrible pain and the shattered blood vessels, it was difficult to show even 30% of my ability.
That wasn’t all. The calls for relief arms were even more severe. His lower body was completely broken, making martial arts impossible.
Go Hyuk shouted.
“Spread out your ranks! Do not panic! “Throw the oil cans inside the headquarters to form a fire camp!”
Go Hyeok, who commanded the Shinhwa soldiers with a loud voice, approached Joo Chang.
“Are you okay?!”
“Ugh!”
Zhou Chang gritted his teeth.
It was a pain that was difficult to describe in words. But what was harder to bear than the pain was the fact that even if I returned home alive, I would have to live as an idiot for the rest of my life.
“Give me strength! “The priestess will somehow cure it!”
It was then.
“Are there saints and priestesses? “I didn’t know that.”
It was Prince Moyong who appeared, clearing away the thick smoke.
Gohyuk’s face distorted.
“Who the hell are you…!”
Fuuuuuuu!
Zhou Qing’s head was shattered into pieces.
It was a truly horrific death. Lord Mo Yong, who killed Zhou Qing with a thunderbolt strike at the same time as a sword strike, spoke in a murderous voice.
“Do the lowly things other than birds dare to invade the central plains?”
“You son of a b*tch!”
Go Hyuk screamed.
“I will kill you!”
Flash!
Even if he wasn’t able to show off his skills, Go Hyeok was also a master who was not lacking in anything in Moyonggun. The firepower of the Yeolhwashin, drawn from the right arm, engulfed Moyonggun at once.
Qarring!
Go Hyuk’s power was amazing.
It uses much hotter tension than the thermal tension shown by other armaments so far.
There is almost no difference in skill between the masters within the Ten Tiger Warlords. However, each had different specialties.
Go Hyuk’s specialty was firepower itself. Excluding generals I and I, he was said to be the best general in terms of his ability to use firearms.
That was also the reason he was able to survive the explosion of gunpowder. This is because the fire essence inside the body canceled out nearly half of the explosive power that came from outside.
‘Is he dead?’
Gohyuk’s face was tense as he looked at the front covered in firestorm and smoke.
‘If you were hit head-on by a deteriorating kidney, you wouldn’t be safe.’
I poured so much energy into it that it made my head spin for a moment. At the very least, he would have suffered severe internal injuries.
Go Hyuk, who was looking down at Joo Cheong’s corpse with his head blown off, gritted his teeth and turned around.
‘I’m sorry, Joocheong. Your resentment will surely come later…!’
Then I heard a strange sound.
Jeeeeee!
A bizarre sound that cannot be heard in nature.
Feeling indescribable horror, Go Hyuk quickly turned around and took a defensive stance.
Whoa whoa!
Gohyuk’s face became blank.
Before he knew it, the sword energy that flew like a thunderbolt had blown off his entire right arm.
“It’s an act of running away without even checking the other person’s condition… It’s truly shocking. “Did you try to take control of this midfield with such a clumsy mindset?”
Pusssss.
The smoke cleared and Moyonggun’s appearance was revealed.
Moyong was fine, except that his clothes were covered in dust and his hair was scattered. The brain-stopping device emitted from the entire body completely blocked the fire from the deteriorating kidneys.
In order to learn the heat resistance of the Shinhwa religion, the body’s heat resistance must be extremely increased.
And it was the same for Moyonggun. Noejeonggong was a martial art from the ancient times that could not even be entered into with a reasonable level of talent.
As it deals with thunder energy, it is not inferior to the masters of Shinhwa religion in terms of heat resistance. Or perhaps, in terms of heat resistance, it could be superior to a military-level expert.
“Know that it is an honor for you, a lowly b*stard from the border, to die through martial arts.”
Blue lightning energy exploded from Mo Yong’s sword.
Flash! Sigh!
A sound like lightning splitting water erupted.
At the same time, Gohyuk’s body was cut into five or six pieces. It was a terrifying swordsmanship that could not be blocked or avoided.
It was a lightning strike of the Mujeongcheonroe style, an invincible sword technique that Prince Moyong was familiar with. The sword strike, which symbolized the movement of lightning, was so fast and strong that it was difficult for human reflexes to even react.
Prince Moyong looks down with cold eyes at Gohyuk’s body, which has been reduced to a piece of meat.
It was then.
Quaaaaaaaaa!
A tremendous explosion of noise erupted from far away in the center of the headquarters.
Moyong-gun, startled, looked at the place where the heavy drinking occurred.
‘what?’
It wasn’t just binge drinking. The density of the shock waves felt from that binge drinking was truly enormous.
Faaagh!
Mo Yong-gun, who rushed to the source of the binge drinking, saw a staggering Yeon Ho-jeong and a young man full of anger.
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes wavered.
‘What is that guy again?’
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The flames rising from the young man’s body were colored golden.
It was a flame of a completely different color from the mythological soldiers and armed forces that had been fought so far. Not only was the color different, but the ferocity of the temperament itself was on a different level.
“They are very cute guys.”
The young man’s voice was so sonorous that it rang out clearly throughout the noisy battlefield.
“Yes, the air has felt strange for the past few days, and bugs have been targeting this place. But how do you know? ah! Did that old man who wouldn’t mind chewing on Yeosang told you?”
He was a scary young man. There was a bitter madness in his voice.
Prince Moyong asked coldly.
“What are you?”
“Isn’t that what an attacker would say?”
The young man growled softly.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t know. You’re all going to die here.”
