Side Story Episode 58. Herald of Death (2)
thud!
The box that Lee Cheon-sang put down was quite heavy.
The eyes of the group members gathered on one side of the training hall were filled with curiosity.
Lee Cheon-sang opened the box and said, holding a set of clothes.
“This is the headquarters’ formal uniform.”
There was surprise in the eyes of the group members.
On the day of the training, it was time for the leaders to provide supplies to the team members before starting proper training.
One of them was the conquest of this headquarters.
“I heard that the workers went through a lot of trouble to make it in three days. “No one is too big or too short, so whatever you wear will fit comfortably.”
It would only be the headquarters emblem engraved on clothes that had already been made. But that alone was quite a feat. The bloody Yaksha pattern and the two characters ‘Death’ would have had to be hand-carved onto the clothes worn by as many as 500 people.
Each group member took the clothes with excitement.
As for clothing, it was all black military uniform and red long sleeves for movement.
However, the material of the long gun was very good. Although it looked luxurious, it was so tough that it could be said to be the best clothing for combat troops to wear.
“I will wear a uniform when I go out on operations. Currently, there is one set each, but in the future, three more sets will be provided per person. “They say the weapons will arrive in three days, so if you think it’s better than your pet illness, take care of it yourself.”
Then, someone raised their hand.
“I have a question.”
“Say it.”
“There is a formation method in the training, but our team is not perfect.”
On the first day of admission, there was Jo Won, who was still in the grip of a blood soul due to Lee Cheon-sang’s outrageous violence. In reality, it was before the group was even created, but Jongpyeong was also a group member anyway.
“Does not matter.”
“Is that really true?”
“It makes no sense to not be able to maintain a formation just because a few of the team members die in actual combat.”
“… … !”
“Until the last one survives, we train the defense and attack and defense flow that can be used at each time. “It is the training policy of the superiors.”
The demons’ faces hardened slightly.
What Cheon-sang Lee said was right. A formation that cannot be maintained even if someone dies can never be called a good formation.
However, they only realized it now. I became a member of the Yasha Command.
We have now realized the cold reality that some people may die in battle.
At that time, Heo Pil raised his hand.
Lee Cheon-sang nodded.
“Say it.”
“How is the training going?”
Unlike in private, Heo Pil treated Lee Cheon-sang as a clear leader. He was different from other magicians who gave up thinking because of their desire to win.
The only way for a group to survive is to show clear respect for the leader and have the skills to do so. Of course, only if Joe survives will I survive. Heo Pil knew that from his experience.
“We will be training the fighting techniques from today until three days later. The next day is individual training, and the next day is full training except for the formation. And then I take a day off.”
“Hmm.”
You train six days a week and take one day off. It was a pretty tight schedule.
“We need to know what our level is to establish the framework for overall training. “It will continue that way for the time being, and once the unit’s level and clear goals become established, the training policy will change again.”
Heo Pil chuckled.
“It seems much more plausible than the other leaders.”
Although he was treated well, his unique personality didn’t seem to go anywhere.
“Huhpil.”
“Please speak.”
“You are the temporary leader.”
“… … yes?!”
Not only Heo Pil but also the team members were surprised by the sudden remark.
“All the deputies left for some ‘reason’. I will be the temporary deputy until a new deputy arrives. Of course, you won’t be able to get just one trillion.”
“… … her!”
“We don’t need a separate vice-captain because the group itself isn’t that big. A team leader has his or her own authority and responsibility, and is no different from a team member during training. “That also applies to me as a temporary deputy.”
“… … .”
“Take care of each other. “That way, the risk of dying in actual combat is reduced.”
Heo Pil, who was laughing, asked somewhat playfully.
“You seem to have a lot of experience.”
Lee Cheon-sang turned around.
“That’s what I heard too.”
Full-scale training began.
Because the deputy commander and all his lieutenants had deserted, the actual training was conducted under the command of the commander, Yang Baek-ho.
Yang Baek-ho’s commanding ability was amazing.
He just got hit here and there and couldn’t find his place, but his understanding of formation methods and experience in group battles are as good as his martial arts skills.
Of course. Before he was a military officer, he was a general who had been active in the military for a long time. Although he ended up as Chief of Baekho, he was also a hidden great general who even performed the role of Chief of Cheonho in times of emergency.
Even if they are stronger and have learned more powerful martial arts, the nature of group warfare cannot change. Rather, his experience on the battlefield and in Protestantism improved his insight several times.
That wasn’t all.
Surprisingly, Yang Baek-ho knew how to capture the eyes and ears of horsemen even during difficult training.
Since it was my first time, I didn’t push myself to the limit, but it was tough enough training. Instead, ample break time was provided, and additional lectures were provided to those members or leaders who had remaining stamina.
In other words, Yang Baek-ho had a talent for teaching.
Difficult words were explained in an easy-to-understand way, and complicated things were shown intuitively.
Lee Cheon-sang was learning more than Yang Baek-ho’s teachings while training together.

‘It’s definitely different.’
The martial arts skills, knowledge, and experience that Yang Baek-ho had accumulated were truly incredible. But what was even greater than that was the ability to solve it.
Isn’t it the same with martial arts? No matter how good the understanding of martial arts is, it is the human body that solves it.
The formation was no different. Another thing was that I had to assume the movements of many people, not just me.
‘It’s very easy to understand. He filters out what needs to be thought about, simplifies it to the extreme, and then makes it completely ingrained in him.’
Certainly, Lee Cheon-sang had aspects that were superior to others. After understanding Yang Baek-ho’s lecture, which was repeated two or three times to facilitate understanding, I also remembered how Yang Baek-ho teaches people.
Lee Cheon-sang’s head could not rest. His eyes always followed Yang Baek-ho, and his ears were focused on Yang Baek-ho’s voice.
The limbs moved as instructed and assisted the movements of the team members who were lacking, which greatly helped in maintaining a near-perfect formation.
‘Hoo.’
It wasn’t that Yang Baek-ho didn’t keep an eye on Lee Cheon-sang.
Among the temporary adjutants of Ilgak, Lee Gak, and Samgak, the one who stood out the most was Lee Cheon-sang.
To be precise, it was only visible to Yang Baek-ho’s eyes. Rather, other people would think that Lee Cheon-sang’s movements were bustling.
‘It’s a little awkward, but you understand what I said.’
In addition, his ability to use what he understands is excellent.
In particular, his eyes looking at his surroundings were very wide and sharp. While the movements of each group were very different, if there was a group that was lacking, the entire group would be brought along to make up for it, and if there was a problem with the group itself, it would quietly become an axis and lead the members.
‘No matter how many times you show and tell something, it’s useless if you don’t get used to it. So, I was planning to continue this training for four days.’
Lee Cheon-sang seemed to have completely memorized and understood what he learned today.
There was a strange light in Yang Baek-ho’s eyes.
‘Do I have good sense or am I smart?’
The day’s training did not end until lunchtime.
During my first training, I must have felt a little hectic and exhausted because I was meeting with group members I wasn’t even friends with yet. Most of the yakshas finished their training that day and went straight to bed after eating.
It was the same the next day and the day after that.
Although the training was arduous, Yang Baek-ho’s teachings were so easy to understand that the team members were able to stick to the training method thoroughly.
In other words, it meant that focused training was possible.
I trained so hard that when the training ended, I felt extremely tired. They relieved their fatigue by eating and sleeping.
Yang Baek-ho thoroughly ensured the sleeping hours of the yakshas. We clearly understand the principle that the more you move, the more you need to rest.
The last Jinbeop training of the week ended.
Yang Baek-ho called Lee Cheon-sang.
“Have you eaten?”
“It’s still just before the ceremony.”
“I came back after washing up. Then eat with me.”
“All right.”
Servants brought the prize to the office.
“Eat comfortably. “Don’t act like it’s in front of your superiors.”
Lee Cheon-sang looked at Yang Baek-ho with puzzled eyes.
“Of course I will.”
Yang Baek-ho, who was shocked for a moment, licked his lips.
‘Well, he was this kind of guy.’
His personality is different from ordinary guys. Even though I know it, it is not easy to adapt.
He was a really strange guy.
“Can’t you see?”
“yes?”
“For some reason, I feel like I’m getting special treatment, so I don’t think I’m paying attention.”
Lee Cheon-sang answered while chewing the meat.
“There must be a reason why you called me. “It’s not up to me to think about the rest.”
Yang Baek-ho chuckled.
“I was going to call the temporary lieutenants one by one. The reason I called you first is because you belong to a certain group. “If you notice, don’t worry. If you don’t, keep eating.”
“All right.”
Lee Cheon-sang’s eating speed was quite slow.
The speed at which I used my chopsticks was neither particularly fast nor slow, but it felt like I was chewing my food too thoroughly.
Is it because the appearance so far has been impressive? The sight of them eating also looks somewhat unusual.
Yang Baek-ho, who was quietly watching Lee Cheon-sang, placed a plate of meat in front of him.
“You seem very hungry. “Eat this too.”
“All right.”
Also, there is no rejection.
Once again, Yang Baek-ho thought that this guy was really refreshing.
“Whoa.”
“Have you eaten everything?”
“That’s right.”
Yang Baek-ho called a servant to clean up the table.
Yang Baek-ho brewed the tea himself. The classical scent was very deep and pleasant.
“What does it smell like?”
“It feels deeper than before.”
“You know how to take charge. “It was sent by a ship behind you.”
“okay.”
Lee Cheon-sang calmly drank tea.
Yang Baek-ho, who was quietly looking at him, suddenly asked.
“Hey, what are you?”
Lee Cheon-sang’s answer was immediate.
“I am a member of a group belonging to the Heavenly Demon Church’s Outer Battle Yasha Command and also serve as a temporary adjutant. His previous affiliation was… … .”
“That’s it. “What should I ask?”
I don’t know if it was a joke or an avoidance of an answer. Actually, I didn’t even want to know.
Yang Baek-ho said with a serious face.
“The criminal court was in charge of the treatment of the deputy commander of the armed forces and his three adjutants. “Did you hear that?”
“I didn’t hear it.”
“It looks like they don’t give you that type of communication.”
“I am just a yaksha. “That meeting at that time was something he forced himself to do, and he is not in a position to tell me everything that happened.”
“… … is it.”
It’s amazing to see something like that. It’s true that people outside of official duties are looking after this guy, but it didn’t feel like they were covering him up.
Ignoring the strange relationship, he stormed into the penal court and asked to meet in person, so the distribution of this guy was really bad.
“I asked for a new adjutant. “These are talented people that I personally selected, not people who are entangled in complicated interests here and there.”
“okay.”
“But I could only save two.”
“… … ?”
“They say I can take charge of the vice-lord’s affairs for the time being, but I can’t pay any more attention to the adjutant’s affairs. “Even if I try, I might be able to be saved.”
“… … .”
Lee Cheon-sang looked at Yang Baek-ho in silence.
Yang Baek-ho smiled.
“It may be too fast a promotion, but… … “Do you plan to remove the word ‘temporary’ in front of the adjutant?”
