◈ Episode 64. Should I kill you?
The red-haired man who had been waiting at the entrance smiled and greeted Jinmu-rip, who appeared with a dragon’s tail and a dragon’s tail.
“It’s been a while, Your Highness.”
Jinmu-rip, who looked up and down the red hat, burst out laughing at his neat attire.
“Has your eyes become clearer?”
The rags he usually wore were nowhere to be found, but he was now wearing a beautiful silk robe and long coat.
The redhead frowned.
“I just wore it because the branch manager gave it to me for free.”
“Let’s talk as we go.”
“yes.”
They left the Sacheon Alliance and entered the forest path leading to the castle.
“It seems the Blood Cult is experimenting with new marriage partners.”
“You weren’t a soulless lunatic, were you?”
Jinmu-rip nodded and told the story of what happened on the mission.
“Blood maniac?”
The expression on the red-crowned crane’s face was somehow ominous.
“What do you know?”
“I wonder if it has something to do with why I came to see the little prince.”
After passing through the north gate of the castle, they changed the subject and entered a small inn, talking about their past lives.
The guest room was empty after the lunch guests left.
As soon as Jeomsoi returned after receiving the order, Jeokmogae’s eyes changed.
“Little Prince.”
The soft voice somehow sounds ominous.
“what’s the matter?”
“I have lost contact with the disciples I sent to the West.”
When it seemed like an important conversation was about to begin, Danryehwa immediately went to find the store owner.
“I’ll have to rent a guest house until the conversation is over. It won’t take long.”
The shop owner bowed his head deeply as he held ten silver coins in his hands.
“I will lock the door.”
The owner, who had locked the door, immediately disappeared into the kitchen.
Jinmu-rip, who was standing in the middle of the line guarding the inside of the door, asked.
“What do you mean, contact was lost?”
The red-crowned crane spoke softly.
“The disciples who were dispatched have been contacting us periodically. But this time, even though the time for contact has passed, there has been no news.”
Jinmu-rip’s eyes narrowed.
“That means······.”
The red-haired man nodded heavily.
“It looks like the war of the West has begun.”
The loss of contact with the disciples means that the security has become tighter.
The Red Mother was convinced that war had broken out.
Jinmu-rip asked softly.
“What is the disciples’ retreat?”
“I have secured the route in advance, but I can’t be sure because I don’t know how the situation will unfold.”
The red-haired man took out a thick envelope from his bosom with a very solemn expression on his face.
“I wrote down the situation with the chief. I won’t be able to see him for a while.”
“It looks like you’re going to the west wing.”
“These are the guys who followed me all the way to Sacheon, relying only on this poor little guy. I can’t just leave them alone.”
He is going to go to that dangerous place because of his subordinates’ worries.
Jinmu Rip did not dislike this kind of man.
“Just wait.”
“There isn’t much time.”
Jinmu-rip pressed Jeokmogae’s shoulders and forced him to sit down.
“If I go now, is there anything I can do?”
“······.”
As of now, there was no clear solution.
Jinmu-rip lowered his voice.
“The Cheonmu-dae will soon be transferred to the West. It’s to stop the Bloody Night Man’s experiments.”
“Is the Cheonmu-dae simple?”
“Yes. And we at Unryonggak have decided to provide rear support. I’ll take you with me.”
“How far can you go as a rear supporter?”
“For now, I’ll just go as far as the window.”
Changdo was the largest village that appeared after crossing the Daeseol Mountain Range and was a strategic point connecting Seojang and Sacheon.
The red-haired man, who had been thinking for a moment, said:
“That’s okay. There is a safe haven for our open-minded people in Changdo.”
“You beggar, so why don’t you go?”
When Jinmu-rip tilted his head, Jeokmo-gae smiled brightly.
“When you enter the village about fifty steps, turn right and there is a stone bridge over the stream. We can’t go under the bridge.”
“······They don’t usually call you out for something like that.”

“But for now, that word is a bit troubling. Does it mean that you can go further into the window?”
Jinmu-rip’s smile was somehow meaningful.
“Well, depending on the situation, maybe that could be the case?”
While Jinmu Rip was talking with Jeokmo Gae at the guest house, a messenger arrived at the pavilion.
The Bigukju Dangmun-gyeong ran to the top floor as soon as he checked the seal.
“My lord, news has arrived from the chief. It seems that war has begun.”
A deep wrinkle appeared between Han Cheon-wol’s eyebrows.
“This winter?”
The cold of the west is harsher than that of Sacheon.
The news came as a bit of a surprise to the two men, who had only expected war to break out after winter.
“Could it possibly be related to our acquisition of the bloodthirsty man’s body?”
Tang Moon-kyung shook his head.
“It’s too early to see it that way. Given the distance between them and the chief, they must have just gotten the news.”
Han Cheon-wol touched his forehead.
“This is going to be a headache. It’s war, of all things, right before we go on a campaign.”
Tang Moon-kyung’s eyes lit up.
“It turned out well.”
“What does that mean?”
“If the Blood Cult’s attention is focused on the Podalap Palace, the movement of the Heavenly Dance will become easier. Now is the time to move.”
Han Cheon-wol smiled as if he understood.
“I see. Although the Blood Cult has the upper hand, the Podalap Palace is a formidable opponent, so there is no time to look outside. Send word to Cheon Seon Pavilion and Unryong Pavilion immediately and have them finish preparing within two days.”
“All right.”
* * *
Jinmu-rip, who had parted ways with Jeokmogae, returned to Unryongak.
At that time, Unryong Pavilion, where Han Cheon-wol’s order had been delivered, was busy organizing supplies.
The front yard of the central hall was filled with carts and wooden boxes, as if they were stacked with moving boxes.
Jinmu-rip approached Shinpyeong, who was packing his luggage, and asked.
“What is all this?”
“The Aid Pavilion has sent supplies for Cheonmu-dae. Supplies for Unryong-gak will be sent soon as well.”
I opened the box slightly and found a tough tent, poles, a makeshift bed, and even a thick blanket inside.
Jinmu-rip was so dumbfounded that he burst out laughing.
“Do those kids know we’re going to the back mountain to play?”
Shinpyeong smiled awkwardly.
“The stage is originally like this every time it moves.”
Jinmu-rip shook his head and went straight to Wooga-san’s office.
“It’s quite a sight.”
Woogasan immediately understood what was being said and burst into laughter.
“What can I do if it’s the way it’s supposed to be?”
“That being said, who will go with us?”
“I notified you a little while ago. We will be gathering at the training ground soon.”
Including the Gwangmudae, the Heukyeongdae, Cheolgeomdae, and Geumhodae each have seventy-five soldiers.
Jinmu-rip and Uga-san decided to select seven commanders, deputy commanders, and squad leaders from each unit.
Ugasan asked.
“But by the way, do you really think that Geumhodae will listen to the prince’s words? Wouldn’t it be better to recruit more people from other places?”
“That won’t do.”
“What is the reason?”
“If you have a lot of money, you can eat meat.”
“······.”
Certainly, if there is a Dangcheon in the group, he will pay at least some attention to providing support.
Ugasan laughed at the idea of taking away the most promising leader of the Sacheon martial arts world and the head of the Tang family for just that reason.
“The forest department contacted me and told me to prepare within two days.”
“It seems that the information from the pavilion is faster than expected.”
“Did you know that the War of the West has begun?”
“I heard from you a little while ago that you met the red-crowned crane. I plan on taking the red-crowned crane and the dongcho-gae with me.”
“If other people find out, they might gossip.”
Jinmu-rip snickered.
“Even without that, there are quite a few people who talk about me behind my back.”
Woogasan let out a hollow laugh.
“I see.”
At that moment, the sound of people outside the door came closer.
“Your Majesty, the selection personnel have gathered at the training grounds.”
“I’ll be there soon.”
Woogasan got up from his seat.
“Let’s go.”
When we arrived at the training ground, all the members of each unit were gathered there.
Woogasan, who had climbed up onto the stage, looked at Geumhodaeju Dangcheon and said.
“It’s hard to see your face often.”
“······.”
“Do you not want to participate in the mission?”
“no.”
Jin Seol-ran, the deputy commander standing next to him, felt her heart pounding at the expressionless face and short, concise answer.
“Your Majesty, I apologize. It’s not that I have any ill intentions, it’s just that I’m not very sociable.”
Since I had met with Ugasando Dangcheon several times and had a good idea of his personality, I said it without thinking.
“I know. Everyone, pay attention.”
Woogasan, who had gathered everyone’s attention by clapping his hands, explained the mission.
“As you may already know, your job is to support the Cheonmu Unit from the rear and help them communicate with the Sacheon Alliance.”
Woogasan looked at Jinmurip.
“I will leave the overall command of this mission to the Great Lord Gwangmu.”
At those words, the Geumho University area became turbulent, and the team leader, Guk Cheol-yeong, spoke in a dissatisfied tone.
“Why should we follow the author’s orders?”
Jin Seol-ran shouted at his arrogant attitude.
“Cheolyoung!”
Ugasan’s eyebrows twitched.
“Why are you asking now?”
As Woogasan’s cold voice weighed heavily on him, Gukcheolyeong flinched and turned his gaze.
“······.”
Woogasan, who came down from the platform, stopped in front of the National Railroad.
Even though they are equally rude, this guy is different from Dangcheon, who has no ill intentions.
The moment Woogasan’s vicious hand grabbed Kookcheolyoung’s chin, an energy heavier than a thousand weights poured out from his entire body and consumed the room in an instant.
“Ugh······.”
As the heavy energy began to squeeze his entire body, cold sweat formed on Kook Chul-young’s forehead.
‘It’s to this extent······.’
The momentum radiating from Mt. Uga was stronger than that of the elders of Cheongseong.
The fiercely glaring eyes of Ugasan captured the trembling eyes of Gukcheolyeong.
“There is a limit to how much I can tolerate. I have decided and you must follow. If you don’t like it, then you can just leave this place.”
The harsh attitude and creepy voice that he had never shown before left a strong impression on everyone’s mind.
Jin Seol-ran, embarrassed, ran over and asked for forgiveness.
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty. I will tie the knot tightly, so please forgive me.”
Woogasan, who had been glaring at Kookcheolyoung, released his hand after a while and turned around coldly.
“We’ll depart in the evening of two days. We’ll finish all preparations today and take a day off tomorrow. Dismissal.”
Gukcheolyeong, whose face was flushed as if it was going to burst, finally let out a gasp after Woogasan disappeared.
“Huh!”
Jinmu-rip, who was passing by, said with a mocking laugh.
“You’re a clumsy person. You won’t live long.”
Jo Young-seong, who had come closer without me noticing, smiled broadly.
“I agree.”
“How dare you!”
The moment Guk Cheol-yeong raised his head, furious at the humiliation he had suffered in front of everyone, Jin Mu-rip’s hand moved like lightning.
puck!
Jinmu-rip’s fist landed on Kookcheolyeong’s stomach with a heavy impact sound.
“Ugh!”
With no time to react, the sudden blow sent Kook Chul-young’s waist bending like a scythe, and then Jin Mu-rip’s elbow struck his back.
Kwajik!
In just two strikes, Kook Chul-young’s head was smashed into the floor.
“Ugh!”
At that moment, the leaders of the Geumho Army all drew their weapons and surrounded Jinmu Rip.
“Stop!”
Then, the leaders of the Gwangmu Dance, including Jo Yeong-seong, immediately stood guard around Jin Mu-rip as if protecting him.
Jo Young-seong said with a bright smile.
“The guy who did what he deserved got hit, so you want to try it once?”
Jinseolran hurriedly got between them.
“Everyone, what are you doing? Put your weapons away immediately.”
Tang Xiaoxiao, facing her, spoke with an apologetic expression.
“Sir, I’m sorry. But it’s Cheol-yeong’s fault.”
“I know that, but you still shouldn’t do this to your colleagues.”
Jinmu Lip said.
“It’s not okay to do this to a colleague, but is it okay for a team leader to talk badly to a subordinate?”
Only then was Jin Seol-ran able to understand Jin Mu-rip.
Ugasan, who represents Madorim in the Sacheon Alliance, was upset because he was openly ignored in front of his subordinates.
Jin Seol-ran, who was speechless at the sharp remark, bit her lips tightly.
Meanwhile, Yu Dae-ha, who was protecting Jinmu-rip, recalled a memory he had forgotten for a while.
It was a memory from when Jinmu-rip took over the northwestern road of Chungking, when he thought he was the most merciless and fearsome person in the world.
‘I got caught by someone I absolutely should not have been caught by.’
Jin Mu-rip, crouching down and grabbing Kook Chul-young’s neck, brought up the story.
“Ugh······.”
An icy cold wind, like nothing I’ve ever experienced before, rushed down my neck.
In addition, the pouring out fierce murderous intent made Kookcheolyoung feel the fear of death.
“You have to be careful about what you say when you say it.”
Then, a creepy voice pierced everyone’s ears.
“It looks like you won’t be able to last long with that attitude. Should I just kill you here?”
