Chapter 661
two days later at noon. and execution.
Those two short words that flowed between Baeksang’s lips shot like bullets and penetrated his brain.
Executed two days later? I?’
I squeezed my throat and held back the question that welled up. At least in this place, I couldn’t show the white statue shaking.
Instead of despairing, I knocked on the exit that had already been blocked several times, just in case.
‘log out.’
Beep!
– [Logout] failed!
– [Logout] is not possible under certain circumstances!
F*cked. Still can’t.
I tried to open my mouth in a calm voice.
“Two days. It’s faster than you think.”
“My father always said. Once you have made up your mind, draw your sword without hesitation.”
“Isn’t that sword drawn by one person?”
“I’m the first to hold the sword, but I won’t be alone when I swing your neck. Even the princess can’t stop it.”
Wielding the sword is not alone… … .
Quietly reflecting on the meaning of the words, I muttered to myself.
“It looks like you’ve been walking around quite busy. Judging from how you’ve stretched out your hands all over the place.”
Baeksang answered in a dry voice.
“Twenty tribal chiefs, including myself, have already agreed. And the agenda for the final day of the convention is…
“Jin Tae-gyeong of Taewonjinga. No, it must be about my execution, now that I have become a wrathful criminal.”
“I know you well.”
“It would be an idiot if I didn’t know even though things had come this far. Anyway, was that why you put me in prison in the first place?”
“Of course, that was the easiest way. I didn’t expect you to surrender so easily.”
Baeksang did not deny it. Then, like a hunter who caught his prey, he looked down at me, who was bound by an iron ball weighing 10,000 pounds, and continued with a low voice.
“To catch a tiger, you have to go to the mountains and take risks, but wouldn’t the story be different if the tiger was confined behind bars?”
“I guess so. Besides, if the hunter is not alone, but twenty.”
The number of tribal chiefs following Baeksang was not small even originally. However, 20 was a number that exceeded the majority of the number reduced to 30 after Heukwoong and Yohee disappeared, and it meant that some of the tribal chiefs who were on the side of the Beast Cat King had switched horses.
“What the hell did you promise them?”
“Revival of the clan. Greater influence and greater goods.”
“That’s right. I expected it, but it’s F*cking simple.”
“But most of all, it’s effective.”
Is it because he is sure that it is only the two of them?
Baeksang’s answer today was more honest than ever, and on the other hand, it consisted of undeniable facts.
I’m sorry, but he’s right. The Beast Palace in Southern Manchuria was a clear alliance of tribes, and the chiefs of the tribes, who had figured out the current situation in their own way, would have bet on the side with the most chance of winning.
The future of the tribe you rule over. For the wealth and glory that the gods will gain.
and… … .
“Among them, the person who will receive the greatest price is right in front of my eyes.
Instead of answering my question, Baeksang kept his mouth shut, and I let out a blank laugh.
“It’s fun. A rotten crab that rots from the very root.”
That was the moment. Baeksang, who was staring at me with a gaze that seemed to pierce my heart, suddenly spat out a word.
“Have you ever experienced a war?”
“what?”
“I asked if you had ever experienced a war.”
Why do you suddenly start talking like this?
However, whether I knew the white statue’s intentions or not, I had no other choice but to listen to it as I became a caged tiger.
“I’ve been through it all myself. Fifty years ago, the first thing I witnessed when I arrived in Central Plain with the princess and 10,000 warriors was the hell that came to the world.”
Baeksang spoke slowly and calmly.
“The fields were trampled and the blue river was covered with blood and corpses. everyday. Or, people died all over the world every moment, and children who lost their parents in the war and were seized by starvation ate the bark of trees without even knowing that their teeth were pulled out.”
War is always brutal. Even if someone wins in the end, there are many screams and deaths piled up in the process.
It is the only path that neither the winner nor the loser can avoid.
“It was a road to hell that neither I nor the princess had ever seen. But we had reasons to fight, so no one backed down. If the Demonic Cult dominates the midfield, then only men will be next. We were there to protect the hometown where my family and friends are staying.”
Baeksang’s voice rang through the dark prison.
“An uncountable number of lives have been lost. He lost his life fighting the enemy on the battlefield, stared blankly at the sky after the battle, committed suicide, and pointed out his bloodletting on behalf of a comrade struggling in pain.”
“Someone died and others were exhausted in countless repeated battles, but the hope in the corner of their heart only grew as the battle became more favorable. I hope I can go back to my hometown soon. Loving woman and elderly parents. Or that you will be able to meet children who have grown up.”
Even if you haven’t experienced it, you feel it.
Even if you can’t see it, it’s drawn in front of your eyes.
The images of them crossing the Yangtze River through the jungle, crossing the plains and mountains, and just arriving in the faraway central plains. And the spectacle of the battlefield fighting against the 100,000 devils of the Demonic Cult (十萬魔徒) flocking from all directions every day
“Suddenly, I counted the numbers and found that out of 10,000 warriors, those who survived were less than enough to work. Even the former emperor, who had gradually gained an advantage, fell into a state of stagnation at some point, and the princess and I thought. Why do we have to be here?”
Time is a law that no one can defy. In front of that absolute law that moves mountains and dries rivers, even masters who have reached the pinnacle of perfection cannot do anything about it.
‘Your mind must be worn out. slowly. I can’t stand this award.’
When I muttered in my heart, Baeksang’s voice continued.
“It was one day after more than ten years. The reason why God of War defeated the Heavenly Demon.”
Clash of the two absolutes.
The result of this life-and-death decision to rule the world was the victory of the god of war, and the Demonic Cult, which once swallowed up half of the world, collapsed like a sandcastle when it lost its central point, the horse of heaven.
“The remnants of the Demonic Cult have retreated to the west.
And, the Murimmaeng pursued them to the end and tried to annihilate them. Now, the three stars and the ten kings, starting with the god of war that no one can stop. And the numerous factional Murim people belonging to the Murim Alliance advanced from all directions. We were no exception.”

The weight of the balance, which had been slowly leaning towards the political faction, lost its meaning due to the death of the Heavenly Demon.
All that was left was to pursue and annihilate the 100,000 demons, who had turned into defeated soldiers, and eradicate them from the land of Central Plains.
“It is as if the war is already over.
was No, it must have been.”
Baeksang, who suddenly stopped talking, stared somewhere in the air with empty eyes.
Water droplets spilled out through the cracks in the ceiling and fell onto the cold floor.
thumping
There was a moment of heavy silence. I looked at Baeksang, who did not open her mouth even if I waited, and then suddenly opened my mouth.
“Baekhui, right?”
U ≫
The hardened new type and the shaking eyes. Seeing the white statue more agitated than ever, I nodded slightly.
“Looks right. I wonder if you got the name confused.”
Awesome.
The sound of something breaking is heard between the lips. Baeksang opened her mouth with cold eyes.
“Who did you hear that name from?”
It was Ya Yulmok who told me the name, but there is no need to tell me that.
I responded calmly.
“Is that so important? It’s important that there are people who still remember the name Baekhui.”
“… … It’s not a name you dare say.”
Plain Oh!
A blade-like murder weapon from Baeksang’s entire body shoots through the gaps in the iron bars.
But why? Oddly enough, I wasn’t afraid.
And maybe that… … It may be a ray of pity for his father, who had to let go of his young lineage first.
Leaving everything aside, at least it was like this at this moment.
‘Baekhui.’
white bag. Whip to shine.
It was a person’s name. The one and only child that Baeksang cherished terribly Now, the name of someone who would have been the son-in-law of the Beast Myo King if he were alive.
‘okay. If alive. I mean.’
In my heart, I asked, ignoring the killing spree of Baeksang.
“Did you lose your life while chasing the Demonic Cult? or not… …
bang! Goo Goo!
A roar swallows the voice trying to connect. At the same time, the prison is shaken violently by a tremendous shock wave.
Baeksang, who had pulverized the walls of the confinement prison with one roll, stared at me with frost-like eyes.
“Do you want to die right here?”
Considering my current situation, this is a rather threatening word. If it was Hyuk Moo-jin, he would have peed and started practicing silently.
But everywhere there are exceptions.
There is also a blue wind that may make you feel a little excited, saying that it is your first time to die… … .
Well, the same goes for me, who got liver enlargement from rolling around so much.
“That’s not bad either. I can’t even kill you right away anyway.”
“what? ,,
“There must be a reason for delaying my execution two days later. Of course, that’s not a decision you made alone either. Is this an order from the Southern Heaven Demon? I heard that every first day of every month they exchange letters.”
“So stop bragging and let go of the rumors. I felt lonely and bored because I was confined alone in prison. At least there were other prisoners in Sacheondangga, so it was okay.”
“bloke!”
A loud cry echoes like an echo. The white statue, shivering with rage, reached out and grabbed his iron bars.
Geugguk!
The steel the size of an adult forearm bends like candy. The eyes of the white statue that had strode in between them shone coldly.
“Was the death of that child so interesting and curious to you?”
The ferocious force seemed as if he would pull out his sword and slash at any moment. But I didn’t care.
Anyway, he wouldn’t be able to kill me right now, even if he was afraid of the demon queen, and I had a fact I needed to know.
“I don’t know what’s interesting, but I’m curious
There are people.”
“Hello you guys… … .”
“say.”
I, who cut off Baeksang’s words with a calm voice, continued to speak slowly.
“It’s not how your one and only child died, it’s what crazy people made crazy people like you.”
“Tell me about it.”
And after a silence so heavy that a second felt like a tip, the white statue finally opened its lips.
“Gamsuk (甘肅). Great Snow Mountain.”
Whoa
quivering breath. White breath pours into the ice-cold prison. Like heavy snow that must have fallen that day.
“At that time, we were leading the Southern Army together with Jong-Nam faction.”
With one word that pierced my ears, I instinctively swallowed the voice that was about to jump out.
Ah, the F*cking Jongnampa.
