Episode 513
“I promise too. “If you give me the royal guard, I will head to the battlefield with Sohyeongeom.”
“Are you saying the Ambassador will come forward in person?”
The other elders looked shocked as they saw Master Baekmang protecting Sohyeongeom as if he had been waiting for him.
Everyone was surprised that he, who rarely even left the Senate, let alone attended a meeting organized by a powerful lord, declared that he would go to war.
Ambassador Baekmang is the most powerful figure in the Senate.
As the situation became like this, the elders connected with him could not remain still.
Several elders exchanged glances with each other and exchanged opinions.
“Good. Since you said so much, Sohyeongeom, let me give you the royal guard.”
The first to raise his hand was Taeyeon Sword.
Sohyeongeom’s eyes narrowed.
‘I thought it would be you.’
I expected that Taeyeon would be the first to express her positive intentions.
He has a close relationship with Yeonsun, and he is far from the type of person to argue and measure things.
Ho Jeong-kwon, who was clicking his tongue next to him, followed suit and raised his hand.
“I will also help.”
A piercing gaze fell on the two elders.
Even so, the two people who were treated as traitors within the Senate acted so openly and shamelessly that an uncomfortable atmosphere was bound to be created.
However, that trend did not last long.
“I have to take responsibility for what I said a little while ago. “I will also give you the SS.”
Starting with Cheonryu Sword, the number of elders who accepted Sohyeon Sword’s proposal increased one by one.
Pamyeonggeom, who secretly wanted to help the recluse’s benefactor, quietly intervened.
Next, Man Rik-kwon, Manjung-geom, and Namhak-geom, who had a close relationship with Yeonsun in the past, joined in.
Once he got into the trend, other elders had no choice but to reluctantly join in on the trend.
“It has been decided. “I see that everyone has accepted my offer.”
“······.”
Sohyeongeom smiled, stroking his beard in satisfaction.
So, we have reached now.

“Tsk.”
The leader, who was looking at me and Master alternately, clicked his tongue.
Being embarrassed meant being embarrassed, and the actions he had to take to overcome the current situation were determined.
If the fight continued like this, the Demonic Cult had no choice but to be annihilated.
There was no way he didn’t know that there would be no answer if reinforcements arrived with me and the evil spirits joining in.
There is only one option to choose from.
All they had to do was grab their troops and run away as quickly as possible.
“Retreat.”
Master Ma muttered as if chewing.
Although he didn’t say it very loudly, his voice was clearly heard by everyone.
It was an inevitable decision for him.
The longer you delay making a decision, the bigger the damage will be exponentially.
“Is the Demonic Cult Lord of the world throwing you out like this?”
“Don’t be mistaken. “You are not retreating because you are afraid.”
The Demon Cultist’s new form seemed to be engulfed in a black air current and disappeared without a trace.
I inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
Part of me wanted to follow him right away, but there were things that had to take priority right away.
I went through the crowds to the fallen teacher’s side and took his pulse.
After concentrating my mind and observing my body, I fell into a deep sleep.
To say it was urgent was not enough.
The energy that had run away due to the wild sleep magic attack was eating away at the teacher’s life in real time.
[That’s because the contemporary successor to Heavenly Thunder Gate was so weak.]
‘What is this? ‘Master.’
I remembered a joke-filled scolding I heard in the past, and for some reason my heart sank.
The person whose physical performance was incomparable to mine was Master.
‘Master Demon. I will definitely pay this debt.’
I can’t believe that such a teacher was treated so cruelly.
I couldn’t figure out what kind of trick they were using.
I carefully put down my wrist and focused my brain energy on my fingertips.
First of all, I had to suppress the runaway energy with the Thunder Spirit Point Point (雷靈點穴).
‘The condition is so serious that I don’t know how effective it will be.’
Still, it would be a good idea to provide first aid.
It was that moment.
Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
A storm of demonic energy formed above my head and poured down.
“be careful!”
The evil spirit and evil spirit hurriedly issued a warning.
With the brain energy at my fingertips, I pulled out my sword and swung it without even getting up from my seat.
The seventeenth herbivorous meal, Seolwol.

Moonlight shining on the snow.
The sword strike was dizzyingly bent, like light reflecting along the curves of the ground.
The trajectory of the falling magic energy was slightly deviated and missed the teacher.
Tiring! Ding!
Ku-kwa-kwang!
The sound wave sent by the evil girl struck the demonic leader who was standing in the air.
A violent wind blew nearby with a loud noise.
Huh!
The religious leader, who had shaken off the aftermath with a single wave of his hand, looked down at me as if he couldn’t let go of his regrets.
Even though he was exposed to a brutal attack, he didn’t seem to take any damage.
‘I knew it would be like this.’
I thought it was strange that Master Ma, who was no other person, retreated so obediently.
Aside from defeating the troops, I might have to use a few light blows to finish off the unconscious Master.
“You’ve become very petty while we haven’t seen each other.”
“Are you discussing cowardice in war?”
“Seeing you do this, it looks like you’re in a psychological corner. “The religious leader’s reputation is outrageous.”
“For things like face, you just have to listen carefully to your political faction.”
They pretended to run away and disappeared, but then attacked me at the moment I was taking care of Master’s body.
It was a shame because I expected and was on guard to a certain extent, otherwise I would have been stuck.
Ma Gyo-ju kicks the air, regretting that the surprise attack was in vain.
In an instant, his new form disappeared beyond the northern horizon and disappeared.
I sighed in relief and concentrated my brain energy on my fingertips again.
* * *
“What is the situation?”
“The Allied Forces of the White Islands are chasing after the troops, but thanks to the timely retreat order, we have quite a bit of time to spare. “I think we can cross the Great Wall of China without any problems.”
Hyeolsalchu (血殺槌), a demon of the Heavenly Demon Palace and an expert in the Flower Sutra, answered the Demon Cultist’s questions with a completely frozen look.
This behavior contrasts with the ferocious appearance shown on the battlefield.
Even he, who is considered to be appropriately described as a person without knowledge, was no different from a gentle sheep in front of the Demonic Cultist.
Originally, it was supposed to be the iron armored giant who performed the role of adjutant, but he currently had no time to spare as he was taking care of the injury he received from the Dao King.
Master Ma looked up at the sky and sighed inwardly.
Who would have thought that the Meng elders would show up there with reinforcements.
It was literally an unexpected variable.
I never thought the plan would go awry like this.
‘There’s no need to think too negatively. Although we did not achieve the results we had hoped for…’
Still, it wasn’t a very bad result since it seriously injured the Thunder King.
It was a pity that he couldn’t finish it, but at least he wouldn’t appear on the battlefield until this fight was over.
‘Now that the intended goal has been achieved, let’s return to the headquarters and prepare for the final battle.’
Since he had come here from Shaanxi via Saewui, it would have been entirely possible to return to the headquarters in the same way.
You will have to break through the siege that the allied forces of the political factions have spread around the headquarters, but if you take the lead and receive a positive response from within the headquarters, joining will not be that difficult.
wickedness!
Ma Jyoju’s palm was cut and split by a sharp knife.
Black discolored blood was dripping down.
Hyeolsalchu, who was watching, immediately realized what it meant.
‘Are you collecting the toxins in your body and expelling them?’
It was an amazing sight.
If it was a poison that could make the leader of the world, the greatest expert, incapacitated, it would not be an ordinary item.
‘You really are amazing.’
Just by taking a little time, you can completely remove the poison.
It was a skill he could never have dreamed of.
‘This should be enough.’
The leader nodded by contracting his muscles and controlling the blood flow to stop the bleeding.
Medicine was applied to the injuries sustained by the Thunder King and a clean cloth was wrapped around them.
I am also free from the influence of intangible evil.
Although the situation was still far from perfect, this would be enough to buy time even if the Allied forces attacked while the friendly forces were crossing the Great Wall of China.
‘I can barely see the castle walls.’
Ma Gyoju, who had been looking ahead with his eyesight sharpened, narrowed his eyes.
Soon, his expression hardened.
Hyeolsalchu flinched and trembled his shoulders.
I couldn’t tell for sure because his facial features were blurry, but I could definitely tell that the cult leader was feeling uncomfortable.
“Master, why are you doing this?”
“Stop the advance.”
“yes? The Baekdo Allied Forces are pursuing them. “We cannot afford to delay here.”
“Don’t make me say it twice.”
Feeling a shiver run down his back, Hyeolsalchu ordered his subordinates with energy in his voice.
It didn’t take long for the demonic army, which was moving north, raising a cloud of dust, to slow down and stop in place.
Ma Jyoju, who stepped forward alone, looked up at the top of the castle wall and asked.
“Why are you there?”
“It’s been a while, leader. “This is how we meet again.”
“Answer the question.”
“You’re roughly guessing, aren’t you?”
The complexions of the demonic cultists turned white as they focused their eyes on the castle walls and looked at them.
Unlike when we passed by before, there were numerous human figures there.
“What the hell is this…”
“What’s going on?”
A heterogeneous scene unfolded.
Armed government soldiers and foreigners from the north were mixed together.
It was a combination as incompatible as oil and water.
“I don’t know why you made that decision.”
“The sect leader has the power to hold the world at his feet, but unfortunately, he does not seem to have the reputation to encompass people.”
“······?”
“You had a good student.”
A woman sitting on the castle wall, looking down with a vague expression, had a bright smile on her face.
Master Ma understood the meaning of those words and clenched his fist tightly.
“no way.”
“The assumption you made is probably correct.”
The demons who recognized the identity of the woman with a young appearance that could not be assumed to be her age rubbed their eyes with their hands as if they could not believe it.
People in the world called her this.
Empress.
He is the iron-blooded ruler who rules the cold North Sea.
* * *
Same time.
The headquarters of the Demonic Cult located in Shaanxi.
Emperor Surama, who got up from his hospital bed, twisted his upper body around and asked.
“So, how did you do it?”
“What do you mean?”
“You were the one who roasted and boiled him under orders from the religious leader in the first place to bring in the provincial commander, so let’s just say that. But isn’t the Empress of the North Sea different?”
The man leaning against the wall with his arms folded, Sousal Demon Lord, chuckled.
Suramaje frowned at the response that seemed to ask if he was finally curious about that.
“We are already in the same boat, so please don’t hesitate and tell me. How on earth did you convince her? Even her demonic cult leader judged that negotiation was impossible and used his force to force her into submission.”
“I simply bought her favor.”
“······?”
“My subordinates also asked the same question as Demon Lord. “I don’t feel like saying this, but the way of thinking of demonic cultists is not overly simplistic.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Relationships between humans are not only achieved through the exchange of material things. Do you think the Dragon King recruited all those talented people with money?”
Sosalma-kun, who was chuckling, walked to the window.
He opened the window wide, took a deep breath, and continued talking.
“I didn’t particularly bribe her, nor did I promise a huge reward.”
“if?”
“Every time I went to the North Sea under orders, I had drinks with her, had constructive conversations, and strengthened our relationship.”
Suramaje made an expression of bewilderment.
You created a private meeting with the empress and established a friendship?
It’s easier said than done, but even if a reputable political figure or government official, rather than a demonic cultist, stepped forward, it was usually impossible.
Sosalma’s subsequent remarks were even more shocking.
“Ah, now that I think about it, it seems like the foster daughter who inherited the Empress’s advances has feelings for me. “In the future, when I become a leader in the church, it might be a good idea to think about having him as a companion.”
“······.”
