thud!

A tightly closed door rings.

There is only one direction for the door to go up. The main gate of Heukcheon Bridge. This is the door that Cheonma and Inho walked through the other day.

“Bring all the teams from other places. It seems like they are planning to attack head on.”

The security chief who received the commander-in-chief’s words blew his whistle.

thud!

After hearing the whistle, the defense team from the other door joins.

Heukcheongyo forces surround the gate in a U shape.

‘I shouldn’t have let my guard down.’

The Commander-in-Chief felt sick to his stomach.

Difficult mountain terrain, impregnable Gimunjin, and confidence in one’s own martial arts skills.

It was his own mistake in deciding to send out all his elite troops to attack the Murim Alliance.

What if you had made a slightly different choice?

The Commander-in-Chief asked himself and shook his head.

You can only regret it when you die. What you need to focus on now.

“Everyone, prepare for battle. Don’t let the enemy see a single hair of Master Xiao. Even if it means sacrificing your life.”

“Honorable name!”

Men shout as men, and women as women, each holding their own weapons and shouting.

Although the level of force he possessed was low, his spirit was comparable to that of a peak master.

Ujikkeun!

The elaborately woven door is smashed, and people dressed in blue enter and form formation.

The commander bit his lower lip as he saw Jin’s well-organized appearance.

‘How many people can we get rid of here?’

If only eighteen Blue Dragons had entered Heukcheongyo, they would have been stopped by the commander before they could even set foot.

However, all calculations went awry due to one particularly strong being.

What if that entity attacks Xiao Jiaoju while you are dealing with the Blue Dragon?

The unexpected situation seemed to destroy all of the tactics the commander had developed so far.

Someone comes forward from the enemy camp.

The energy I feel is at its peak, probably the leader of the Blue Dragon Corps.

“It’s been a while. Poison horse.”

“I have never given you an invitation, but it seems rude to visit at such a late hour.”

The Commander-in-Chief spoke while observing the enemy’s movements. The middle-aged man laughs.

“Ha, this scum-like demonic cult is trying to pretend to be a human.”

“I think I’m quite more humane than you guys?”

Smiling brightly and being sarcastic, he raises the stakes from over there.

” Bastard!”

“I don’t think we have anything more to say, so come on in.”

It blows the earth wind and hits the forehead. Although there was no lethal force, the head of the person hit was tilted back.

Further stimulates the enemy’s composure. It might be able to pick up the momentum of the battle just a little bit.

“Smite the wicked demonic bastards!”

“Yes!”

With the Blue Dragon Captain’s words at the end, the Blue Dragon, who had raised the stakes, attacks this direction.

“These are the people who dared to set foot in the land of Heukcheongyo! Don’t let them live!”

***

Groups and groups come together. The Cheongnyongdae stabbed the sore spot with well-organized organization, and the members of Heukcheongyo gritted their teeth and stopped them.

There were countless collisions, and the first to fall were ordinary church members with low status.

“Kya!”

“Keuheuk.”

With a single scream, other church members rush over the bodies of the dead church members.

To protect Heukcheongyo, which accepted him after being abandoned by the world.

If it loses its weapon, it raises its claws and lunges at you.

If its arm is cut off, it will rush forward to bite it.

If a leg is cut off, it lunges with one foot.

These people can only be stopped by cutting off their heads.

The people of Cheongryongdae were sick of seeing the fear of death that mortals must feel disappearing.

“Are there such evil spirits in this world?”

Lee Hang, the leader of the Blue Dragon Corps, muttered in a daze as if he had just seen the Sura of Hell.

– Pow!

The general’s kick was aimed at Lee Hang’s head, but Lee Hang raised his arm to block it.

With his arm throbbing, Lee Hang glared at the general.

“The noble desire to protect one’s sanctuary is expressed as an evil spirit.”

Taking his stance again, Lee Hang gritted his teeth as the commander-in-chief scolded him.

“I heard that you are all dying, but you are still alive and well.”

I heard that the reason Dokma withdrew from the front line was because of his deteriorating health due to his constitution.

I thought everyone would be dying, but the sharp attack that chilled Lee Hang’s stomach made him break into a cold sweat.

“It is true that my health is not good, but I am not weak enough to be defeated by you.”

The commander-in-chief muttered quietly while pumping his fists.

“Tch!”

Lee Hang clicked his tongue and fell back, whistling.

The commander tried to catch him, but four Blue Dragons blocked his path.

“Catch that guy. You shouldn’t waste time here.”

As Lee Hang left the battlefield with five other members, the commander saw him and tried to run after him.

“Where!”

But the crew blocking his path.

‘Oh my… I’m stranded.’

Fortunately, we did not head to the ritual palace. The place they headed to was Cheonmagung.

Is it because Su Jiao-ju has no inner strength and cannot sense it?

Still, if we leave them like this, they might soon find Su Jiaoju hiding in a secret location.

The commander-in-chief agonized over whether to use poisonous attack or not.

There are many church members still alive. Should I use poison with the intention of killing them all?

My hands are shaking from hesitation.

“Commissioner General.”

A soft sound called to him, and when he turned around, a plum blossom was behind him.

Our eyes meet.

Maehwa speaks to him with an expressionless face.

“We are fine.”

” Plum blossom….”

“I understand why you are hesitant, but many people have already died. If time continues like this, everyone will die.”

Damage is accumulating little by little. This was a fact that the Commander-in-Chief knew well.

“Commissioner! Do it!”

A garrison man lying with a knife pierced through his abdomen.

“It’s okay!”

An attendant holding a dagger and struggling to block the attack.

“Our lives belong to the religious leaders and minor religious leaders anyway!”

A church member spits out blood and screams.

“We are all people who have been saved by our religious leader. Lonely people who are alienated and abandoned.”

Maehwa, who has come one step closer, speaks.

“When I joined Heukcheongyo, the leader said: ‘You said you would follow me, so I will take it away. However, from now on, that life is mine.’”

“I have not forgotten the oath I made. So… Commander-in-Chief.”

“How….”

The governor looks at the plum blossoms with shaking eyes.

Maehwa smiled.

You must “. Aren’t we supposed to protect Lord Xiao?”

With those words, the plum blossom runs forward.

The plum blossom holding a thin sword moves through the space between the blue dragon poles with mysterious movements, destroying its shape.

But that was only for a moment, and when the Blue Dragons, who had been taken aback by the sudden surprise attack, reorganized their battle lines, it was Maehwa who fell.

“Plum!!!”

– We… it’s okay.

The plum blossom lying on the stone floor mutters.

Blood flows and wets the floor.

A lot of blood has already been shed.

The number of church members, which used to be large, soon became similar to that of Cheongnyongdae.

The general attacked them, but instead of directly confronting the general, they dodged and focused only on catching him.

With tears streaming down his face, Commander Zhuge Hui gritted his teeth.

-Pudduk

Along with the sound of teeth grinding, a tear fell from the commander’s eye.

“I’m sorry… everyone.”

To whom is the apology addressed?

The words that came out of Zhuge Hui’s mouth disappeared like smoke.

“Biggie.”

I raise my suppressed bet and turn it around.

Along the blood vessels, the internal organs are filled, and the poison stored in the Danjeon spreads throughout the body.

“Poison wavelength”

Gray smoke that I had never seen before covered Heukcheongyo Bridge.
