Episode 327
Hwang Bo-gak’s opposition did not last long.
That was inevitable, because a strong justification was presented for rescuing at least those prisoners who had not yet been converted before it was too late.
The subject was not a good one to claim the sacrifice of a small animal for the greater good.
Heroes of the White Blade who fought against the Demonic Cult on the front lines and are known to have died.
They were also top 100 level strongmen who were the core forces of each sect and sega.
No matter how powerful the king was, he would not be able to avoid criticism if rumors spread that he opposed their rescue.
‘The problem is that there is a high probability that the criticism will come back to me as well.’
He spoke assertively in front of Hwang Bo-gak and Ak Yeo-ryeong.
It is impossible to save even the already brainwashed warriors.
I was not aware of the repercussions those words would bring.
How strongly will the Xinchangyang family, a family from the Changgui (槍鬼), and the Kunlun Sect, the monks of Yujeonggeom (幽靜劍), oppose?
Nevertheless, I had no choice but to hammer the nail in firmly.
If you get caught up in recognition and are distracted by the opinions and evaluations of others, the battlefield is where your comrade next to you will die.
‘It’s inevitable that the reputation you worked so hard to build will suffer cracks.’
[What do you mean by feeling sympathy for the enemy? Do not bring personal feelings into the battlefield.]
[······.]
[There is no one in the world without a story.]
The situation was different from the past when I criticized Baekwoongeom (百澐劍).
Regardless of whether he was persecuted by the communal faction, Baek Mak-Moon voluntarily betrayed the martial faction.
On the other hand, the warriors who had been brainwashed by Sima Seju were objects of sympathy with no room for disagreement.
‘It tastes bitter.’
In fact, I could have presented someone who would take the blame instead of me.
He appoints one of his subordinates to bring about stigma.
It was a technique commonly used by high-ranking people.
‘but.’
I didn’t really want to go that far.
It’s not because I feel guilty, but because I don’t want a situation where my people are unfairly criticized.
‘If you had asked Damun to play a villain, he would have accepted without hesitation.’
That’s why he didn’t show any signs of regret.
I didn’t want to pass on a heavy burden to him, who was already feeling uncomfortable due to the conflict with his biological father.
I sat in front of a table with candles and was alone and trembling for a while.
“Boss. “Can I come in?”
I slowly raised my head when I heard a voice coming from outside the barracks.
As soon as permission was given, the person who pulled back the cloth and revealed himself was Cheonwoo Dojo, a leading disciple of the Hwasan Sect.
After offering him a seat, I cautiously opened the door.
“I have something to tell you.”
“How important is it that you called me this late at night?”
“The survival of Cheonhwi Dojang has been confirmed.”
“Is that true?”
Cheonwoo Dojang’s eyes became swollen.
He seemed unable to hide his excitement at the news that the death penalty, who had been thought to be dead, was alive.
I sighed inwardly at the reaction I had expected.
“Where is the death penalty now?”
“Samase is trapped in my underground space as a prisoner of war.”
“······yes?”
“It’s not just Cheonhwi’s dojo. “Currently, there are several prisoners transferred from the Demonic Cult within Simase.”
“Then we must save him quickly!”
“Unfortunately, not everyone is detained like Cheonhwi Dojang.”
“What does it mean?”
I recited exactly the explanation I gave at the meeting a moment ago.
As the story progressed, Cheonwoo Dojang’s expression changed in various ways.
“I heard you couldn’t see him for some reason, but I didn’t know that he had infiltrated the Sima family with Cheon Soje and dug up information.”
“sorry. “I wanted to at least take Cheonhwi’s seal, but the conditions were not good for that.”
“no. “There is no reason for the manager to apologize to me.”
Surprisingly, Cheonwoo Dojang’s reaction was calm.
I thought Gil-gil would go on a rampage and demand to invade Simasega at any moment, but it was unexpected.
‘······I thought it was a lot different than before when I saw how cruel the hands were.’
Still, I had no idea it had changed this much.
While working at the Sacheon branch, I interacted with Cheonwoo Dojang relatively frequently.
I thought I knew relatively well about him, but now that I see it, it seems that wasn’t the case.
“According to what you said, the reason why the prisoners captured by the Demonic Cult were transported to Simasega…”
Cheonwoo Dojang is chewing his lips, unable to speak until the end.
It seemed like it wasn’t easy to maintain composure.
There was no way he wouldn’t have been angry about the situation in which the death penalty was placed.
I’m just quietly thinking about it.
I nodded slowly and continued what he couldn’t say.
“It’s to brainwash them and use them as power.”

“······.”
“In the near future, Tianhui’s seal will also lose his senses like Changgui and become the hands and feet of Sima Segaju.”
“How long is the grace period left?”
“I don’t know. “There was no way to determine how far the brainwashing had progressed.”
“If we do that, we will have to take down the Sima family as quickly as possible.”
“Before calling the Small Council, we gathered the leaders of the Allied Forces and held a meeting. “Sooner or later, an all-out attack will begin.”
“Can you tell me the exact time?”
“Preparations will probably be completed within two days at the latest.”
“All right.”
Dojang Cheonwoo, who answered with a calm expression, slowly stood up from his seat.
I stood up after him and sent him off with a few words of comfort.
He would also need time to organize his thoughts.
“I’ll say it again, you don’t have to feel sorry for me, Manager.”
Just before leaving the barracks, Dojang Cheonwoo suddenly said something.
I didn’t know how to answer, so I kept my mouth shut, and then he took a deep breath and added,
“The manager made the right decision. Even if I end up dying at the hands of the Allied Forces, I will not blame you, Director.”
As I was quietly staring at his back, I let out a bitter smile.
Even though I was not at peace, I sat worrying about others.
It would be nice if everyone reacted rationally like Cheonwoo Dojang.
* * *
Same time.
An unusual incident was taking place on the front line located on the border between Hebei and Shanxi.
“What!”
“Uh, that!”
The warriors who stood guard on the wooden fence holding the telescopic mirror let out perplexed cries.
Ding ding ding!
A bell rang, signaling an emergency.
The soldiers who rushed out of the barracks prepared to attack.
“What kind of fuss is this?”
An old beggar who had been sleeping on a mat on the stone floor woke up, rubbing his eyes with both hands.
As he kicked off the ground and jumped into the air, the sight of the demonic cultists flocking to him like a swarm of ants was reflected in his eyes.
“What is this?”
The old beggar’s eyes twitched slightly.
The situation was not easy to understand.
I thought it was just sporadic fighting as usual, but that wasn’t the case.
The number of enemies was much greater than expected.
‘What’s the purpose?’
I couldn’t figure out what kind of wind was blowing to cause it to hit me so recklessly.
In large-scale battles, the defensive side was bound to have an advantage over the attacking side.
Although it was a little embarrassing, the Allied forces, who were fully prepared and waiting, could not help but feel happy about this situation.
“I was so delirious that I wanted to die. “I’ll grant you whatever you wish, you guys.”
He cracked his fingers and landed lightly on the wooden fence.
The soldiers around him recognized his identity and raised their voices with relieved expressions.
“Seniors!”
“OK.”
“Everyone stay where you are! “Geolwang senior has come, so there is no defeat for us!”
Wow!
At the appearance of the old beggar, the high-spirited Allied forces let out loud cheers.
Geolwang (乞王).
Ark of Openness.
An absolute master who holds the first place in the Ten Heavenly Emperors.
The Allied soldiers were confident.
As long as he is there, the devils will never be able to break the battle line.
“Are you a girl king?”
That moment.
A low voice echoed throughout the area.
Despite the commotion, his voice was heard clearly in everyone’s ears.
The atmosphere subsided as if cold water had been poured on it.
The warriors’ gaze all turned to the source of the noise.
‘What is this guy?’
The King’s eyes narrowed.
When on earth did we get to this point?
‘Did he break away from the ranks alone and arrive at the enemy camp first? Should I call this bold or stupid?’
One man was looking up from under the wooden fence.
Strangely enough, his features were blurred, as if there was fog.
‘He’s not an ordinary guy.’
No matter how late it was at night, it didn’t make sense that he couldn’t recognize the other person’s face.
He instinctively raised his guard and focused his energy on the club in his hand.
The strange confrontation continues for some time.
“Your reply is late.”
“······?”
The man muttered softly.
The next moment, explosive magical energy poured out and engulfed the area.
The warriors lined up on the wooden fence trembled from the energy waves that swept across the vast area.
“How dare you even look down at the main throne room and ignore the question. “Do you still want to live like that?”
“You’re a guy who doesn’t know manners. “If you want to ask about my identity, please introduce yourself first.”
A girl king who fights back without losing.
Despite his enthusiastic response, cold sweat was dripping from his forehead.
‘Was there someone like that in the Demonic Cult?’
I was able to recognize it instinctively.
That the opponent is an expert who has reached the absolute level.
Kukukukukuku!
The atmosphere became distorted and the ground cracked apart.
The man just stood still and looked in this direction.
Nevertheless, the surrounding area shook dizzyingly, as if there had been an earthquake.
“I never gave you permission to ask questions.”
The man who muttered arrogantly took a step forward.
At the same time.
Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
One side of the fence collapsed.
The soldiers who fell before they could leave their seats screamed.
As the man took another step, the warriors who were on alert, each with their weapons drawn, vomited blood from their mouths.
thud!
“Wow!”
“Wow! “Wow!”
When he took the third step, all the warriors in front of the man were kneeling on the ground.
The King of Geolg looked down at the scene with an expression of disbelief.
What kind of level must one reach to create such a ridiculous situation?
“Geolwang.”
“······.”
“How long do you plan on looking down at me?”
Kwakwakwak!
On the fourth step, the wooden fence that Jiewang had stepped on shattered.
Geolwang stepped through the air and landed on the ground, calmly catching his breath.
Given this many clues, even a fool had no choice but to know.
What is the identity of the other person?
‘Heavenly Demon Lord Limbo (天魔君臨步).’
A peerless martial art that only the leader of the Demonic Cult can master.
The man in front of me was the monster of monsters, the pinnacle of all demonic cults.
‘Has the enemy’s leader, who was shrouded in mystery, finally revealed himself?’
There was a sense of sadness in the Jiewang’s eyes.
I felt like I knew it after experiencing it myself.
Why do the members of the Demonic Cult, who follow the banner of strong self-respect, reverence their leader so much?
Why did the eight great demons, each with high pride and distinct personalities, swear obedience to their religious leader?
‘This might be my last place.’
He kicked off the ground and rushed towards the Demon Cultist.
The moment the two absolute masters faced off, an incredible explosion of noise echoed throughout the battlefield.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
martial arts,
