Chapter 694
A deep night when even the moon was covered.
A faint flame began to rise in the mountain valley that had been locked in deep darkness.
One, two, three. And soon, the world shakes with the torches that swell to hundreds.
Hard!
Tremor transmitted through the ground. wind
Under the swaying torches, large and small shadows and rough breaths blew incessantly.
Kreureung.
Whoop after.
force (military force).
It was a single army, a mixture of countless humans and beasts.
Barbarian warriors armed with swords, spears, and bows were sitting on saddles and constantly groping beyond the darkness with their eyes, and beasts with sharp teeth and claws continued to run.
The number is three thousand.
And following the order of only one person, their destination was set from the beginning after leaving the outer palace around noon.
,Ainu Mountain (哀牢山).’ The three letters that popped into the head of the escort commander who was running in the lead. At the same time, someone shouted from behind him.
“I see!”
Indeed, it was as it was said. The escort commander, of course, could be seen by everyone.
An intense, gigantic fiery demon that could not be compared to the torches carried by an army of 3,000.
Wooduk, Kwaaaaa!
Giant trees of unpredictable age fall down in a row, and the flames greedily devour everything it touches, inflating its size even more.
Silent voices flowed from the lips of the warriors watching a great fire that never happened a hundred years ago, and probably will not happen a hundred years later.
“Oh, it can’t be.”
“that is. Was it true… …
Hearing it through the mouth of others is different from seeing it with your own eyes.
A light of astonishment and fear passed through the eyes of the warriors as they looked at Mount Aenye, engulfed in flames.
‘Jin Tae-kyung.’
‘All the rumors about him were true.’
‘To come all the way here after defeating so many pursuers. What kind of a monster is he?’
Unsurprisingly, most of the warriors present here have never met Jin Tae-gyeong in person.
No, it was right to say that I had never confirmed his true identity.
To them, Jin Tae-gyeong until now was just a stranger from the Central Plains, a little different from the southerners. He was just a young man with a strange appearance.
But now, you have to fight him.
Enveloping Mount Aenye without leaking water. It was their mission to kill Jin Tae-kyung, who did not know when he would jump out of there.
but… … .
‘Can I stop him? That monster?’
One duty on everyone’s mind
Banji (禁地), which shared history with the beginning of Nanmanya Palace. They were the ones who had been listening to the stories about Mt.
And whenever that happened, there were always three letters that never came out.
Fire Gate.
An unknown sect that exists somewhere in the far-off land of Jungwon.
distant past. The lord of Yeolhwamun, who set foot on this land, said that he had put an end to the great war with Ohdokmun, which had continued for over a hundred years even after the birth of Nammanyasugung.
The extreme poison of Oh Dok-mun, who took countless lives, and the poison they used melted like candle wax in front of the flame he summoned.
Even the current lord of Oh Dok-mun, who was said to have turned four hundred of the elite warriors of the Southern Manya Palace, into a handful of poisonous beasts, said that he could not handle his strength and knelt down.
‘No, they said he was burned alive.’
However, the old legend that everyone had enjoyed in their childhood has now transcended the past and approached the present.
right in front of their eyes.
gulp.
The sound of someone swallowing dry saliva resonates exceptionally loudly.
The hand that was loosely gripping the reins is full of strength before I know it, and agitation spreads along with the anxiously shaking eyes.
And it was the very next moment. The guard commander’s lips, which had been tightly closed, opened.
“What are you so afraid of?”
U ≫
A voice loaded with gong power reaches the ears of warriors
dig up the The escort commander continued his words with strength.
“He is alone. We are three thousand.”
Unknowingly, the shoulders of the warriors who had shrunk were gradually straightened, and the shaking eyes began to regain their center one by one.
‘okay. No matter how strong he is, in the end he is a human made of cloth.’
‘Even if all the rumors I’ve heard about Jin Tae-kyung are true, I can’t stand these forces.’
three thousand.
It was three thousand. pretending to be the only one
It’s an absurd number of people to kill.
The gatekeeper of Yeolhwamun, who is said to have smashed Ohdogmun with great inaction?
It is true that they feel afraid when they think of the stories they grew up listening to, but in the end, a legend is just a legend.
No, even if he survived, it would be impossible to face 3,000 warriors and beasts of barbarism alone. He had to be impossible.
“Did you forget? Jin Tae-kyung is a weightlifter who endangered the barbarians, and a Han Chinese who was worse than a brute force who forgot the grace during the Great War.”
The escort commander’s voice is as powerful as the huge fire that is rapidly approaching.
sereung.
“Barbarian warriors! My proud brothers!”

The sword pulled out from the waist emits sharp anticipation.
The moonlight pouring down from above and the shimmering torch hit the white blade and shattered it.
“Put him down!”
“Waaaaaa!”
Cha Cha Cha Chang!
Hundreds and thousands of sick organs and blazing torches pulled out at the same time. And at that very moment, the 3,000-strong army spurred on toward Mt.
Wow!
As for the escort, all humans and beasts in this position could see it.
A black garden that casts a shadow in front of the pillars of light surging through the fiery flames and the hot flames.
No, it wasn’t a chattel.
Deed Dede Deuk!
“What is that… … !”
In the world shaking with the rapidly approaching black hill, the escort commander was unaware of the sight as he watched the scene with his eyes wide open.
That the wind is no longer felt.
The 3,000 wild beasts that were running non-stop toward Mount Aenye stopped in their place as if they had promised.
Kreureung.
A tiger who has been with the escort chief all his life
He lowers his head with a low cry.
No, it wasn’t just that.
Leopards, bears, wolves and all beasts big and small were like that.
Seruk.
It rolls up its tail and lays its huge body down.
It was an instinct that was imprinted at the moment of birth, a worship for the king who had returned from a long time ago, and an order that could not be refused.
– Aaaaaang!
With a roar that engulfed the world, bluish-white eyes shone in the darkness.

jerk jerk jerk
The sound of footsteps echoed through the quiet hallway.
One by one, the sharp eyes of the escort warriors reached their climax, and quarrels and servants prostrated themselves, followed by trembling cries.
“Gu, meet the princess!”
Their cries of fear are directed at only one person.
The gaze of the white statue, who was crossing the corridor of the inner palace surrounded by iron guard, suddenly scanned them.
The people who work in the inner palace are of various tribes and ages.
From children who haven’t even lost their breasts yet, to middle-aged men and women… … Even an old woman with white hair all white.
The escorts frowned when they saw the old woman struggling in the middle of the hallway alone because of her old age and slow behavior.
The Baeksang, whom they faithfully serve, is the owner of the Southern Manya Palace and the king of this land. No, he has to be a king.
An old man who is only waiting to die should not dare to stand in the way.
jerebuck
And, as if it had been promised, it was at that moment that a couple of escorts stepped towards the old woman.
“Stop.”
With a low voice, the movement of the escorts suddenly stopped. To the old woman who caught his gaze, Baeksang greeted him inaudibly.
‘It’s been a while.’
It is a familiar face even after a long time has passed.
Baeksang recalled his childhood, a young woman who sighed deeply whenever he and Yayulcheok went into the inner palace.
you’re very old
No wonder. Unlike him, who delayed her aging through her inaction to reach her peak, she would have accepted the law of her time intact.
“Sorry, sorry. lord of the palace It’s because Schönne isn’t feeling well… …
Seeing the old woman cringing and not daring to raise her head, Baeksang suddenly had a question.
Why did he hold back his subordinates?
Because that old woman is one of the few who remembers what he used to be?
If not… … .
Because of the desire to delay ‘that moment’ that is approaching moment by moment even now?
‘I don’t know. I don’t know.’ It was bittersweet. Even though I came this far, regrets remain in a corner of my heart.
And it was the fact that she, who used to bully herself without hesitation, now couldn’t even make eye contact with her in fear.
‘And this must be the path I’ve walked so far.’
It’s all just a false impression.
The days of fighting back-to-back on the battlefield with his one and only brother-in-law, sitting on the corpses of enemies, drinking fruit wine, and watching secretly a man and a woman meeting under the dim moonlight had long since passed.
“… … Lord?”
At the cautious escort’s call, the white statue’s eyes sank as coldly as usual.
“Clear the way.”
“Johnny.”
As if they had waited, the escorts rushed forward and pushed the old woman away.
Baeksang, who was looking down at the people who were prostrate even more with frightened eyes, continued.
“Also, as of this time, the inner palace
Exile the courtiers who stay.”
“So, I’m sorry. Are you talking about all the courtiers?”
“okay. entire.”
Courtiers are literally those who stay in the palace and do all sorts of chores. From the hostess who prepares every meal to the person who cleans and does the laundry, they were all courtiers.
Aside from the harsh banishment order, the inner palace would not work properly right away if they disappeared, who were in charge of large and small parts.
The question of why in the world welled up in my throat, but none of the escorts said it.
Baeksang’s words are the law.
He is the only warlord in Southern Manchuria, and at the same time the only palace lord who has received an oath of absolute loyalty from all tribal chiefs.
The five tribes who left the palace in denial of the new ruler were stripped of all authority.
Even the heads of the Miao tribe were imprisoned in prison, and Baeksang’s authority was invincible.
“… … honorable name.”
questioned by the sudden expulsion order
However, the escorts followed their orders according to their duties.
And, starting with the old woman, Baeksang muttered in his heart as he watched as the white-faced courtiers were dragged out in a row.
‘Perhaps leaving this place could be mercy for you guys.’
Everything begins and ends soon.
Even Baeksang himself did not know how much blood would flow in the process.
‘no. I guessed it, but I didn’t want to believe it.’
Maybe that’s why. Even though I have lived as an iron man for only one goal for the past 40 years, I have been shaken more than ever in the past month.
‘whim. After all, it was a useless whim.’
Yayulcheok. and Taekyung Jin.
With the names of the two people passing through his mind, Baeksang moved on.
jerk jerk jerk
one step after another.
Countless thoughts pass by every step of the way.
What happened to Yayul-cheok and Jin Tae-kyung who disappeared? Where are you and what are you doing now?
Does Namcheon Mahu know what he did, his last whim, without anyone knowing?
‘But it’s too late. No one can turn back now.’
Baeksang stopped walking with an empty tingle. Before he knew it, only one door remained in front of him.
If he opens this door now, the highest platform in the inner palace will be waiting for him.
And underneath… … There are 10,000 warriors gathered at the inner palace in response to the general call-up order.
‘At noon. It’s noon tomorrow. Let all the warriors in the palace gather.’
It is certainly. The great system has already been completed.
Baeksang suddenly opened his mouth, recalling Namcheon Mahu’s message from last night.
“The sun is hot.”
“… … Lord?”
The door didn’t even open, but Baeksang felt the heat burning him.
What he is about to do from now on is a terrible sin that cannot be forgiven and should not be accepted.
but… … .
‘I can’t help it now. Hui (輝) Aya.’
Remembering his longed-for son, the father vigorously opened the door. You can see the open field and empty space, and you can see countless warriors gathered under it.
However, Baeksang’s gaze and all his senses were directed to one place.
Above the heads of 10,000 warriors, on a verdant hill overlooking the wall surrounding the inner palace and the castle wall protecting the outer palace.
‘That’s it.’
It was far away, but it was visible to the white statue’s eyes.
A huge white tiger stood tall on top of a hill. A silver mane shining in the midday sunlight and another person sitting on top of it.
“… … You’re here. Gear nose.”
With a low voice, thousands and tens of thousands of beasts appeared behind the back of the white tiger.
Low-in sub-team
