◈ Episode 14. Operation Begins
The gun of Madorim.
Jinmu-rip, who arrived with the darkness seeping in, walked around the perimeter of the gun range as if taking a stroll.
‘There are fewer watching eyes than you think.’
Only three people fell under Jinmu Rip’s spell.
When Jinmu-rip, who had made a lap, entered Cheongmujeon, Chomu-gang had already summoned the leadership.
Jinmu-rip bowed politely.
“It’s a little late.”
“It’s not too late. Then let’s start the meeting.”
Jinmu Rip spoke in the presence of two lords, five lords, and one lord.
“I will have to go to the main gate.”
Now that the Northwest Road has been absorbed, a war with the Grand Inspectorate is inevitable.
But I didn’t know it would move this quickly.
Everyone was somewhat prepared for it, but when it actually happened, a thousand thoughts came to mind.
In the heavy silence, the commander of the Naerimwonju asked.
“Are you saying we move first?”
Jin Mu-rip nodded after observing the reactions of those around him.
“exactly.”
“Well, I guess I should hurry up and get ready.”
“There is no rush, we must move now.”
Everyone’s eyes widened as if they were going to tear apart.
Ma Yeong-gak-ju Yeom Cheon-gun asked, even stammering.
“Hey, hey, are you saying we should move now?”
Hwanma-gakju Jo Yang-heul also suppressed his surprised heart and said.
“Isn’t it too early? Let’s make a plan calmly and then······.”
Jinmu Rip cut off his words firmly.
“Time passes fairly. While we make our plans, they will prepare as well.”
Jinmu Rip wanted ten days, but Somunju Jonghwagi said he would give him time until all the branch managers returned.
If they release them one by one starting tomorrow, it will be six days from now.
But Jinmu-rip is not the type to naively believe that.
‘If he knew what kind of guy I was through our conversation, he would definitely want to strike me six days ago. However, he wouldn’t think that I, who asked for ten days, would make a move right now. Now is the only chance.’
As the leaders’ commotion grew, Cho Moo-gang raised his hand.
“Everyone calm down. Has Murip thought of something?”
Cho Moo-gang also had a plan in mind, considering the Great Swordsman as his enemy, but here he wanted to hear Jin Mu-rip’s thoughts.
Jinmu Lip said.
“Even though we have brought in the small and medium-sized fire departments, the overall number is still higher for the large-scale fire departments. However, that is when the branches are included. First, we need to reduce the difference in numbers.”
“Keep talking.”
Jinmu Rip laid out his plan as if he had been thinking about it for a long time.
“The total number of people in the branch is 500. The number of people who have gone out to solve the missing person’s case is 250. We need to deal with the small businesses near the headquarters to block information and cut off those who return to the main checkpoint.”
The mutual army asked.
“In that case, how about taking advantage of our numerical advantage and attacking the main base right away?”
The answer came from Rimju Chomugang’s mouth.
“If the fight drags on and they join in, we will face a crisis on all sides.”
Ugasan said cautiously.
“If we act as the young prince says, we will have to put forth all our efforts to deal with that number of people. If the Grand Inspectorate targets the empty gun emplacement, there is no way to stop it.”
Jinmu-rip laughed.
“There’s probably no one here, so what’s the point of guarding it?”
***
Jonghwagi, who returned to the Grand Inspection Gate under the darkness, headed to his father’s residence.
‘Six days.’
This is the time given to Jinmu Rip.
Jonghwagi didn’t think that Jinmurip, who had similar aspects to him, would completely believe those words.
Making a promise knowing that you wouldn’t believe it is just to make things a little more complicated.
‘You may not believe in a period of six days, but you would never think that the branch’s unmanned forces would move before entering Chongqing. If they move before that, they can succeed in a surprise attack.’
Jonghwa-gi arrived at his father’s residence and slowly opened the door.
“I’m back.”
Jong Bi-ung, the chief swordsman and a middle-aged man with a sharp expression who was sharpening his sword, turned his head.
“You met the young prince of Madorim, right?”
“The news comes quickly.”
Jonghwa-gi sat down at the table with a grin.
“What did you get?”
My father’s conversations always go like this.
Jongbiwoong, who pursued practicality, never said anything unnecessary even when talking to his children.
“It made me reflect on myself.”
Jinmu Rip’s words that he would not choose the means and methods had resonated with me.
“It’s important.”
“father.”
As the bell’s voice grew faint, Jongbiung put away his sword and turned around.

“Speak.”
“War seems inevitable. The little prince is very dangerous. We must strike Madorim before he loses his leader.”
Jongbiwoong clicked his tongue as if he felt regret.
If the damage increases, the day of fulfillment will be delayed by that much.
“All my efforts so far have been in vain.”
He pressured the financial resources to kill Madorim and achieved some success by taking over three districts in Chongqing.
I thought there wasn’t much time left, but then a variable arose from an unexpected place.
“Yoo Cheong-ah.”
The answer came from the air.
“yes.”
“I need to get the neck of the scorpion.”
The voice that spoke so indifferently was eerie.
“yes.”
Yun Seong-gak, the head of the Unsung Footsteps, was the person who devised the plan to pressure the financial system.
“You have no mercy.”
“Foolish mercy only brings about lethargy in your subordinates. If you are also a rumored member of the Great Swordsman, engrave this in your heart.”
“All right.”
“If you have to fight, then you have to fight. If you’ve made up your mind, then you should have a plan in mind.”
“Of course.”
Jonghwagi explained the conversation he had with Jinmurip and that he was the mastermind behind the disappearance of the branch manager.
“In two days, all the unmanned personnel outside will arrive, and as soon as they reach Banshijin Street······.”
At that moment, Jongbiung raised his hand and covered his son’s mouth.
Soon after, a man’s voice was heard from outside the door.
“He sent a secret letter.”
“Bring it.”
As the man who delivered the secret letter left again, Jongbiung unfolded the neatly folded paper.
“hmm.”
“What does it say?”
Jongbi-ung, who had been staring blankly at his son’s face, handed over a secret letter.
“Things have changed. If I hadn’t planted the person, it would have been quite dangerous.”
The secret letter said that Madorim had emptied the gun garrison and was going to attack those returning from the branch.
Jonghwagi furrowed his brows.
‘We’ll cut them down and take the numerical advantage?’
The moment I read the secret letter, I understood the other person’s intentions.
I was also considering whether to move first, considering various situations.
But I didn’t think it would be this fast.
‘I thought it would take three days to prepare since you asked for ten days, but this is unexpected. You’re quite the talent. Jinmu-rip.’
Jonghwagi was upset that his opponent had exceeded his expectations.
But I couldn’t reveal my inner feelings in front of my father. Jonghwagi said, trying to smile.
“I will change the plan.”
“I’m still not good at hiding my feelings.”
“sorry.”
Jongbiwoong clicked his tongue with a displeased look and got up from his seat.
“Once you draw your sword, you must not hesitate. Even if you are prepared to lose one of your arms, you must cut off the soul of your enemy.”
“Of course.”
“If you time it right, you can attack from the front and rear with the branch staff. Get ready.”
“Please wait a moment.”
“What is it?”
“The enemy is attacking the branch office by emptying the gun barrel to gain the numerical advantage.”
“Shouldn’t we stop that?”
“He said that even if I lose one of my arms, I can cut off the soul of the enemy.”
“It was like that.”
“The feeling of despair when a plan you thought was perfect goes awry is greater than you think.”
The bell’s eyes glowed eerily.
“If we sweep away the Northwest Road instead of losing the branch, we will still have more numbers.”
***
The leaves of the bamboo grove sway busily.
This is because people carrying light loads move around under the cover of darkness.
The small open space where the moonlight lingers was filled with people packing their bags.
The Magic Flower Corps, consisting only of women, was busily checking the number of members.
“Are you ready?”
As soon as Taesangrimju Chopyeongcheon appeared, a beauty with a cynical look came running in a hurry.
“Mahwadaeju Gayabingi meets Taesangrimju. Everyone has gathered in ten places.”
“You must have had a hard time at night.”
“We are about to fight the enemy. It is something we must do. But how did it come to this?”
“Even though I’m retired, how can I just sit still in this situation? I’ve asked Rimju to protect you and your family.”
If Chopyeongcheon joins, it will be a great help.
Gyakbing’s expression brightened.
“thank you.”
At that moment, a man dressed in black flew in, stepping on the bamboo.
“This is a message to enter Amdo immediately and head to Anga.”
Chopyeongcheon raised his hand to Gayabing with a gentle smile.
“It’s your job to lead.”
As the family entered Amdo under the escort of Chopyeongcheon and Mahwadae, two corpses were cooling in front of Chopugang and Jinmurip, who had come out with the gun brigade.
“I finally got to deal with those guys I’ve been watching over and over again.”
Cho Moo-gang knew of their existence from the beginning.
However, I was worried that if I tried to get rid of something that wasn’t dealt with, it would come back again and I would provoke the other person with unnecessary actions.
Jin Mu-rip said, casting a strange gaze toward the corpse.
“Now that the three culprits have been eliminated, the safety of the family has been secured. Now, we must move.”
Cho Moo-gang exhaled slowly and looked up at the night sky.
It’s been a really long wait.
Now, all you have to do is open your mouth and give an order, and the first fight towards the future you have been hoping for will begin.
Cho Moo-gang, who slowly looked around the faces of the leaders, finally opened his mouth.
“Let’s all complete our missions safely and meet again here.”
It was a short and concise command, but no one could fail to notice the tremor in his voice.
“Your Majesty, I wish you good luck.”
“I wish you good luck.”
The leaders, equipped with examples, set out for their destination with firm determination.
As their backs disappeared into the darkness, Chomu Kang also turned around.
“let’s go.”
Led by Cho Moo-gang, one hundred and fifty warriors simultaneously unfolded their new techniques.
Cho Moo-gang, who was walking ahead, glanced at Jin Moo-rip, who was following him.
‘You’re following along pretty well. As expected, you’ve been learning martial arts properly.’
Choi Lin’s new technique, the Snow Flow Step, is something that only women can learn, so Jin Mu-rip cannot learn it.
It’s not even Madorim’s new method.
Cho Moo-gang thought that Jin Mu-rip had learned martial arts from someone else.
When we got a little further, Chomugang said.
“If you have a hard time, tell me anytime. There is no time pressure.”
“Let’s stop here.”
“now?”
“Yes, it must stop.”
Cho Moo-gang’s eyes widened.
Because Jinmu Rip didn’t look that tired.
Cho Moo-gang noticed that Jin Mu-rip had something to say and stopped the procession.
Jinmu Rip’s voice was low as questions arose in everyone’s eyes.
“I have to go back.”
“What do you mean? Weren’t you the one who suggested that we attack the returning unmanned forces?”
“That’s just a second best option.”
Cho Moo-kang’s eyes widened slightly.
“That’s the lesser option? Why would you choose the lesser option instead of the better option?”
“When I looked around before I entered the gun yard, there were three Sejak hiding. But we only caught two of them.”
Cho Moo-gang’s head spun around strangely.
“Are you saying that the information was leaked?”
“It’s impossible to monitor the entire group with just three people. There must be three people communicating with each other inside.”
Everyone’s eyes were filled with shock, but Jinmu-rip’s eyes were colder than ever.
“That too is among the leaders who can enter the Blue House meeting.”
