Episode 491
“They say that if the upper water is clean, the lower water will be clean, but if the kid upstream is a crazy bastard who can’t tell right from wrong, how can the guy downstream be a sane person?”
The smile disappears from Gwangjon’s lips. Suddenly, his fist clenches.
It wasn’t some kind of pledge not to fall for provocation.
“It’s not too late.”
The emperor’s expression becomes strange.
“You acted like you were going to fight at any moment, and now what the hell are you talking about?”
“Put one arm down and apologize.”
The emperor’s eyes widened at those words. Gwangjeon continued speaking.
“It will be easier to talk since you know about Cheon-wi-cheon’s existence. If you don’t want to turn Cheon-wi-cheon into an enemy, then put down one arm and kneel. That means live with one arm. Then I can pretend it never happened and move on.”
The Emperor’s mouth slowly opened. Guangjun ignored it and continued speaking.
“In the history of the Eastern Continent, no one has ever touched the opening and been safe. Coming from the West is no excuse. If you touch the opening, you won’t be safe either… … .”
“green onion…….”
“green onion?”
“Hahahahahahaha-!”
The emperor held his stomach and laughed. He burst out laughing. The whole place shook. The emperor’s energy naturally spread out to the surroundings. At the same time, Wonjae’s expression hardened. This man had this much energy?
“Hahahahahaha-!!”
That was beyond hilarious, it was on that level.
“Hahahaha-! Ah… … Wow… … My goodness, how can every single word you say be so beautiful?”
The emperor leisurely stretched out his hand. He grabbed the handle of the longsword at his waist and drew it. Charung.
Even without a scabbard, the clear sound of the sword resonates throughout the world.
As soon as he took up the sword, the emperor’s mood changed. It became heavy.
The way of speaking has also changed.
“Jim, there’s something I want to ask you.”
Gwangjon asks.
“What is that?”
“If I kill you here, will the beggars of the open world come running towards me?”
Guang Zhen did not know exactly what the intention was. He just interpreted it as he pleased. If millions of beggars rushed at you at once, it would be extremely troublesome. There were already many people hungry for fame. You had to deal with them while dealing with the beggars of the open world. It would be hell on earth.
So I said it proudly.
“Of course. The beggars of the open world have already finished arming themselves. All the beggars of the open world are flocking to this palace. Now, cut off one of my arms and put it on my knees… … .”
“Then I guess I’ll have to kill you here and destroy the Gaebong clan.”
My eyebrows furrowed deeply. I thought I had misheard.
“What?”
“I have another question. If I destroy Gaebong, what will Cheonwicheon do?”
I wasn’t sure. Although Cheonwicheon is a group that has come together with one purpose, they are not all the same. There are those who act alone like the Akbulgun, and those who act alone like the current Gwangjeon. However, there was something that had to be said in this situation.

“… … He’ll show up to kill you.”
The smile on the Emperor’s lips disappeared in an instant.
“Then I should kill you here and then immediately destroy the Gaebong clan and then the Cheonwicheon clan.”
The emperor paused for a moment, then lifted his sword and placed it on his shoulder. He continued speaking slowly.
“I’m truly amazed.”
“… … Surprising?”
“How can such an arrogant, pathetic, and ‘unified’ ragtag organization use the name of ‘Heaven Above Heaven’? How ignorant must one be to be so arrogant?”
Strength returned to Gwangjon’s legs. Strength returned to his arms. His heart pounded. The strength of his entire body, his soul, responded.
The string of tension is pulled.
Ignoring this, the Emperor continues speaking.
And that wasn’t what was said to the Gwangjon Wonjae.
“theory.”
“… … Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Take Yu Je-ha and Xiahou Dun with you.”
The emperor fixes his sword.
“Kill all the beggars around here.”
Wonjae shouted.
“Stop it! You three over there, if you move even one step, you’ll die.”
Although he was a hermit, the era in which he was active was relatively recent. Liu Zhe and Xiahou Dun, who lived in that era, know how great the fame of Guang Zhen Yuan Zhai was.
But I don’t care about that right now. I promised. I swore.
If you want to catch a chicken, if you want to be a shepherd, then there is only one thing you should say and do in this situation.
“I obey Your Majesty’s command.”
The three men turned around. The distorted expression of Gwang-jeon kicked the spot. He was shaking the space. While shaking the space, Gwang-jeon felt a chill for a moment. He stopped his actions and tilted his head back.
Crunch-!
Half of her long hair was cut off.
It was cut off by the Emperor’s sword that he had swung without realizing it.
“Didn’t Jim tell you? He’ll kill you and destroy the Gaepo clan.”
Even an earthworm squirms when stepped on. The emperor, the supreme ruler of the Western Continent, is a man who gives back as much as he receives.
The attitude of the Gwangjon Wonjae could be used to know the attitude of Cheonwaecheon. Cheonwaecheon really thought of the Western Emperor as a chess piece. A chess piece that could be used to kill at any time.
The Emperor was genuinely curious as to when he had seen them and how much he knew about them to be so arrogant. That’s why he plans to kill them all.
The Gwangjon steps back. The Emperor points the tip of his sword at the Gwangjon.
There is a saying, like teacher, like student.

“It’s not too late.”
“… … It’s not too late?”
The pattern was the same as what Gwangjeon had said to the Emperor. The corners of the Emperor’s mouth went up.

“Break your own limbs, then gouge out your eyes and lie face down on the floor for a week.”
“If you hold on?”
“If you want to live, then do it.”
“What if not?”
“I will build a tower of open corpses, and at the top of that tower I will place your head on a stake.”
This level of dialogue was sufficient.
“Dog… … That bastard-!”
The light was shining. The emperor was shining too.
* * *
It was just as Gwangjon said.
Around the palace, beggars were holding clubs and shouting all kinds of slogans.
“Are you touching the opening-!”
“who-!”
“Amazon-!”
“Then what should we do-!”
“Kill them! Unite! The opening will not stop!”
If those words were a conversation between a few beggars, it would be really funny, but that’s not the case.
Because thousands of beggars, all the beggars in the palace who had fled the moment Jack killed the drunkard, were shouting at the same time.
How can you find this funny?
But that was it. What does it matter if they are a threat or if they are numerous?
The order has already been given, it has already begun, and already, there is an enemy.
Then it’s done.
Ron was the first to take his seat.
Ron’s body is engulfed in blue light. Then the blue light changes to gold. Sparks fly.
Ron’s foot stretched out. The head of the man who seemed to be the commander giving orders among the beggars burst open.
Among the beggars around, some retreated while others rushed forward.
A wind blows from Ron’s body.
Ron mumbled a short incantation and placed one hand on the floor.
That moment.
Kwaaaaang-!!
The surrounding ground turned upside down with a loud noise.
This is the Earthquake magic that Ron uses as he progresses from beginner master to intermediate master.
Then, Xiahou Dun and Liu Jihe also jumped up. Xiahou Dun rushed forward without saying a word, but Liu Jihe was different.
“Where the hell do these damn beggars dare to call this place-!”
Yoo Je-ha’s sword split the sky. The heads of three beggars were blown off. The beggars around him rushed in. Yoo Je-ha spun around and made a large slash with his sword.

The heads of five beggars were blown off.
“This is the devil’s palace-!”
The number of beggars was in the thousands. And now they did not hesitate. Ohje. In this ‘Wu Rim’, two monsters sitting on the throne seemed to have sworn allegiance to the emperor. But it did not matter.
There is someone who touched openness first. Openness will never back down until he pays the price.
The beggars’ eyes widen.
Everyone rushed in.
Crunch-! Crunch-!!
Kwaaaaang-!!
There was a loud noise, screams, and blood.
The beggars of the open world continued to die. Among them, Ron’s power was particularly unparalleled.
While Yu Je-ha and Xiahou Dun could only kill three to five people at most, Ron was killing at least several dozen.
magic.
This is the great warrior of the Taoist temple.
The number of disciples of the Opening Cult who first shouted slogans and caused chaos in this palace was 3,900. It only took 10 minutes for all of them to die.
Three men are gasping for breath.
The demon archer warriors who had joined in the meantime were also panting for breath nearby.
Yoo Jae-ha took a deep breath and approached Ron.
“Hey, are you okay?”
“Yes, that’s fine.”
Yoo Je-ha looks around for a moment. Everyone is looking at this place. The ordinary people of the palace and the military personnel of the palace who are wondering what is going on. And so on. Yoo Je-ha continues.
“His Majesty told you to take the two of us with you.”
“Yes, it was.”
Blood dripped from Ron’s hand as he nodded.
Yu Je-ha and Ha Hou-dun are not fools. They clearly understood what Jack said.
As Yu Je-ha said, Jack told Ron to take Yu Je-ha and Xiahou Dun and kill the beggars of Gae-bok.
It was like a tidying up of the chain of command.
The simple principle is that Jack has the final command, but in Jack’s absence, Ron takes the final command.
Rondo is not stupid. His shoulders are heavy, but it doesn’t matter.
Because I can endure it.
Compared to the pain and weight that Jack has endured throughout his life, this is just a drop in the bucket. If he can’t endure it, he should just go out and die.
Ron said.
“The fight between openness and majesty has begun.”
Both men nod.
“Your Majesty absolutely detests situations where people get swept up in something for no reason and die meaninglessly.”
That was true. All of Jack’s actions on the Western Continent were like that. Even the fact that he spared the boy soldiers in his previous life instead of killing them falls into that category.

If you aim your weapon at them, even if they are your enemy, you should at least give them a warning or two. It’s about weeding them out.
Those who opposed Jack with their own beliefs and intentions and armed themselves with weapons were killed without exception, but those who were swept away without any reason were spared if possible. This was the case when the Tulcan Empire was destroyed. Why did Jack act alone? Why did he accept refugees?
All of these are behaviors that show Jack’s personality.
“All ‘ordinary citizens’ of the palace are to be evacuated to the ‘ice palace.’”
“To the ice palace?”
“I heard that hundreds of thousands of people live in the palace.”
“Exactly 140,000. It’s been a while since we did the census, but the margin of error isn’t that big. But if we just order them all to take up arms, they’ll do it. That should be enough force… … .”
“Your Majesty.”
“… … .”
“I want to minimize sacrifice. I’m talking about ‘friendly sacrifice’, not ‘enemy sacrifice.’”
Yoo Jae-ha’s eyes widened. Truly… … Isn’t he an ideal leader?
Ron adds:
“There may be some who want to fight. The unmanned troops over there seem to be direct subordinate units of the Magung, is that correct?”
Yoo Je-ha nodded. There were about 280 unmanned soldiers who participated in this sudden massacre.
These are the private soldiers of Yujeha.
To be exact, they are soldiers of the Magong Corps, a direct military unit under the Magong Command.
It is organized with at least first-class unmanned personnel, and among them, there are over 100 unmanned personnel at the peak. It is divided into three units, and the leader of each battalion is an ultra-top unmanned personnel.
“Choose which of them you will keep.”
“Those who will remain? Then the rest?”
“You should leave the rest to the security of the residents.”
“Escort… … That’s right. Since there are enough people moving around, we’ll need escort. What’s the deadline?”
Ron turns his head. The corpses of beggars are piled up around him, and the residents of the palace are looking at him with fearful expressions from afar. He looks at them and answers briefly.
“Right now.”
