Login Murim Episode 1016
Although I had a vague feeling from the moment we first met, Wolhwa is a very unpredictable woman.
‘No, what on earth caused this sudden letter to be sent?’ Subcontracting Branch (Hacheongji Association).
I don’t know much about idioms, but even a rough translation can be very misleading.
It’s an encounter that feels like a river becoming clearer.
Isn’t this something that can only be used among those with minimal experience?
‘I’m going to spur on the gossip.’
Of course, I am not a hypochondriac, and I will not cause any misunderstanding just because of a letter like this.
I’ve known for a long time that the interest that Wolhwa shows in me is limited to one person’s Haomundo and has absolutely nothing to do with rationality.
but······.
‘The problem is not me, but that you misunderstand.’
I muttered to myself and put the crumpled war record back into my inventory. It’s a bit uncomfortable, but there’s nothing I can do for now.
In any case, it is a problem that will eventually be resolved naturally as time passes, and much more important problems than this were blocking the way.
And at this moment.
Hahahahaha.
Finally, with the cool wind of the highlands
The huge mountain range that appeared in front of everyone was like a milestone that indicated that we were one step closer to solving the difficult problem.
‘That’s it.’
My eyes widen without realizing it. It’s distant and dazzling.
That was the impression that came to mind the moment I saw Qilian Mountain for the first time.
“I only heard about it. This is really, wow… Hyuk Moo-jin muttered in a mesmerized voice.
No, it wasn’t just him, it was everyone, including me.
Sheer cliffs, endless mountain ranges like those of dragons, and peaks rising through the clouds in between seem as if they are supporting the sky. Is that all?
The annual snow that dyed the mountain ranges pure white created a mysterious atmosphere as if one had stepped into a completely new world.
However, apart from that, the narrow canyon seen between the cliffs was narrow and long like the entrance to hell, so there was literally no other fortress created by nature.
‘This is more than I’ve heard.’
Palcheon Gorge, which has changed the fortunes of Shanxi Province several times, feels like a mountain behind the neighborhood compared to the Qilian Mountain you can see now.
Of course, the drawbacks were also obvious.
“It’s too wide.”
At Song Il-seom’s brief words, I quietly nodded.
right.
The area occupied by Qilian Mountain is more than just large, it is vast.
The mountain range, which is said to span thousands of miles, starts from the southwest of Gansu Province and reaches all the way to Qinghai Province. If you spread your clumsily constructed net wide, it will be torn apart in an instant.
Especially if the opponent is a big fish called Dark Heaven.
Therefore, immediately after entering Qilian Mountain, which was already surrounded by a strict security guard of the Gansu martial arts people, the leaders who gathered together briefly raised this issue as a topic of conversation.
To be exact, me and Jeokcheongang.
“There are too many troops deployed to the rear. That’s why I’m telling you this
“Take it out. “Everything.”
Before I could finish speaking, Jeokcheongang came in and added, picking his ears.
“It was a bit harsh when I heard it, but after seeing it in person, it became clear. Even if we pour out all our efforts on the people in Great Snow Mountain and Dunhuang, it is almost impossible to completely block this place. “It would be best to gather them all and cram them into other wires.”
Jeok Cheon-gang’s gaze, which had been sweeping the crowd like a landlord declaring that a tenant should vacate his room, suddenly stopped on one person.
“I thought he was a guy who knew this much, but was Nobu mistaken?”
Sima Gong, the King of the Black Night, smiled softly and responded.
“Thank you for your generous evaluation, but I, as well as the various ancestors and family heads present here, know the Gansu area better than anyone else. Of course, this includes Mount Qilian.”
“I know better than anyone else…
Jeok Cheon-gang, who had quietly mulled over Sima Gong’s words as if he were chewing his cud, calmly opened his mouth.
“If you don’t know better, it sounds like you should just shut up.”
“How dare we commit such rudeness toward senior Noh, who is not even anyone else? “Please refrain from speaking.”
“Put it on. “Enemy Daehyeop.”
“This is just a matter that was decided upon after in-depth discussion.”
Starting with Sima Gong’s smooth apology, the lords and family heads of the Gansu martial arts clan, who had been keeping an eye on him, took control one by one.
Like henchmen following their leader.
And that was right then.
As I stared in silence at the scene unfolding before my eyes, the figure of someone who was the only one among them with his back straight came into view.
‘Samapyo.’
It was for a moment that my eyes met in the air with the guy who had a unique, incomprehensible expression on his face. Soon, Sima Piao also quietly bowed his head, following his father.
Sigh.
Is it because of the sudden silence?
At that moment, when the sound of the collar being brushed resonated unusually loudly, the Wind Cloud Sword Master opened his mouth.
“It is difficult to judge the frequency easily. “I would like to believe that everyone here has made the right decision since they are all leaders of the martial arts kingdom in Gansuk, but I also think what the enemy Daehyup said is a very likely decision.”
“It’s not like it’s entirely possible, but it seems like it’s probably going to happen in 9 out of 10 cases.”
People’s attention was focused on the sudden remark, but I continued speaking without any embarrassment.
“Even if we have 30,000 or 30,000 troops, if they are spread out to maintain three front lines, it is no use. Is it for no reason that we say that if we unite we will survive, but if we divide we will die?”
“Thank you. For teaching me the basics that everyone has forgotten.”
I shrugged my shoulders at the old swordsman who opened his mouth with a chuckle.
”There is no need to thank me that much. Well, when people live for a long time, they can sometimes forget. “It’s too basic for something like that.” ”······!”
“Oh, sorry. Did I speak too arrogantly?”
What I just said wasn’t meant to upset you, it’s sincere.

I was tempted to miss the sight of the old swordsman’s red-faced face, but what could I do when his lips moved automatically?
Well, I’m sure you’ll understand since we’re now completely allies.
Or not.
“You, no, you…
A pinch hitter stepped in to replace the old swordsman, who was showing signs of hyperventilation while watching Jeokcheongang’s eyes to see if his blood was rushing at the young guy’s retort.
“If we come together we live, but if we unite we die, that is true. Of course, not in the current situation.”
This is why people say the death penalty is good.
I stared straight at Taeulmu Jeonggeom, who intervened at the right moment.
“If you were in the same situation as now, what would you be talking about?”
“Are you asking because you don’t know, or are you pretending not to know even though you know?”
Taeeul Martial Sword frowned and added.
“It looks like you already forgot. “What kind of bizarre magic tricks are they practicing?”
There is no one here who does not know what Taeeul Mujeonggeom is talking about. Of course, so do I.
“Lee Dong-jin (移動陳). Yes. “There was that.”
I nodded and opened my mouth again.
In a calm tone, as if asking if something was going on.
“So?”
“What!”
“what?”
Questions that pop out simultaneously.
However, if I hadn’t expected this kind of reaction from the beginning, I wouldn’t have even brought this up.
“On the way here, I suddenly remembered something I wanted to do…
I trailed off and slowly swept the audience.
“Those of you who are so wary of Lee Dong-jin’s existence, why on earth did you deploy a large force of more than 30,000 troops to the front lines?”
“Those of you who are so wary of Lee Dong-jin’s existence, why on earth did you deploy a large force of more than 30,000 troops to the front lines?”
For a moment, silence oppressed the surrounding air.
And the silence that suddenly came did not easily disappear until someone who was watching the situation with calm eyes opened their mouth.
“For the greater good.” The Black Night King, Sima Gong. It’s him again. Sima Gong, who spoke on behalf of everyone, continued speaking in a calm voice.
“What you said earlier is correct. If you try to disperse it poorly, you will become neither one nor the other. So, after much discussion and deliberation, everyone came to the conclusion that this is the current situation. Divide into three fronts and be able to return to the rear at any time.”
At first glance, this seems like a plausible opinion. It was also something that was said when the leadership gathered together for the first time, but…
Just like the expression used earlier, it only seemed plausible at first glance. “It seems like a long way to go back. If Dark Cheon appears in the rear through Lee Dong-jin, how can we catch up with them?”
If tens of thousands of locusts swarm a field, it will not take more than a day for everything to disappear.
The dark stream is the swarm of locusts.
And the speed of their teeth and flapping wings is too ferocious and fast for them to catch up with a time gap of several days.
‘By the time our troops arrive late, the entire Gansu Castle area will have been devastated and Amcheon will be heading towards the central plains.’
So, did they, who had been the masters of persimmon ripening for at least a few decades or as long as a hundred years, not know this fact?
‘That can’t be possible.’
You must have known. clearly.
And the voice that flowed from Sima Gong’s lips the next moment was enough to confirm my guess.
“I guess so. clearly.”
“······!”
Jeokcheongang and I, who realized the meaning contained in that short word, lowered our gaze deeply, but there were also people who did not understand.
Right now, like the Windyun Swordsman looking at Sima Gong with a questioning gaze.
“Sama Munju. What on earth do you mean by that?
A horse’s tail that cannot end and becomes blurred.
However, Pungwoongeomgun is also the head of the Ilmun (一M) clan that leads the huge faction called Jongnampa. Even before the lingering sound of the voice he had spoken earlier disappeared, his face hardened as he suddenly thought of something.
“Do you really mean to condone this? Even if they jump over our army’s front line in a mobile formation and trample on our rear?”
Sima Gong answered with a calm expression.
“Isn’t it absurd to condone it? “We just made the choice with the highest chance of winning.”
“Wait. Then what happens to the rear? What about the remaining civilians and warriors?”
“That’s why I didn’t say it. It was for the greater good.”
“Sama Munju!”
bang!
A chair that falls to pieces in an instant.
However, despite the appearance of the Wind and Cloud Sword Lord who got up from his seat while shouting, Sima Gong’s voice did not falter one bit.
“If the dark stream crosses the desert and hits us head-on, we will immediately concentrate all our power there. They could occupy the rear through mobile formations… but that would be the worst move for them.”
A fish that tears through the net from the outside to the inside can enter and exit at any time, but if it passes through the net as if teleporting, it is simply trapped.
‘Double-sided front (rain front line).’
That was Sima Gong’s aim.
Effective, but requires great sacrifice.
A truly Safa-like strategy.
but······.
Is this really all there is?
“It is our choice to protect or to burn. “The owner of this place is neither the Jongnam Sect nor the Taewonjin Family.”
I stared with deeply sunken eyes at the figure of Sima Gong, who had silenced the Windyun Swordsman with a cold eye glow.
