****

When I heard the bell ringing to start the battle, I put down the papers I was looking at and lit the pipe.

The time has come to decide what we have worked hard for so far.

Every time I close my eyes in a room filled with hazy smoke, I am reminded of our research.

[This is it for tonight*: It is best to minimize the battlefield. The Iron Blood Emperor can create an iron tiger, and since it is quite strong, it is difficult to deal with it when the battlefield expands. If they start going on a rampage, the damage will increase. In addition, the Cheolhyeolgeumje carries ten demon spears and can strengthen Cheolho with them. So the best thing is to blow away the Demon Spirit Spear stack.]

It will happen. And, if you are a sword saint, you will land a big blow as soon as you start, and the Iron Blood Emperor will use all of the stack of Demon Soul Spear to block it.

[Uncle Sayun*: Even if we somehow made it so that only Sima’s troops could be dealt with, the enemies would be strong. So, at least Hong Seong-moon should have the same level of power as Chang Il-gwan in Part 2. It would be great if we could cooperate with other forces.]

Another main character, ‘Yang Hee-yeon’, who appears in Part 2, is of Changilgwan.

In order to increase Hong Seong-moon’s basic power to that level, we taught him secret places and fed him medicinal dishes.

As a result of supplying them with amulets, medicine, and equipment, Hong Seong-moon surpassed their level.

Although I didn’t expect it, they even participated in the war at Munwoljeong. Also, the elite Wolgwangdae and Chae-ryeon.

[ㅇㅇ(241.221): We must not forget to increase the defense power of the island village itself. Sima Jun’s subordinates are experts. If you leave the battlefield and enter the island village and start a fight, it will not be normal to handle it, and if that happens, all prerequisites will be broken. So, don’t forget to raise the village’s defense status.]

Therefore, we cooperated with the county to improve the village’s defense status.

We did our best to prevent the enemy from entering by strengthening the fence to the maximum level possible and even building a watchtower.

and.

and.

and.

I did everything I could according to the scenario we had devised over and over again.

So I just waited.

“Master!!”

The door suddenly opened.

When the servant hurriedly came in, I made up my mind. Then he sucked in the tube and exhaled smoke and asked.

“How did it go?”

“There was an attack on Seomhwachon, but we achieved a great victory! Great win!!”

“What is the damage?”

“There are some injuries, but no deaths!”

The most ideal result assumed in the scenario was obtained.

It never occurred to me that there would be no injuries.

But this is real.

I nodded and the servant shouted excitedly.

“Shall we prepare a feast?!”

Of course, on days like this, I have to take down the shutters.

“Okay. The guesthouse is not open today. Please release all the ingredients for those who have suffered.”

“Yes!!”

He must have been very happy that the crisis had disappeared and that no one he knew had died.

As the servant left with a smile, I, who was left alone in the room, leaned back against the back of my chair.

“… Success again.”

My, our efforts did not fail.

At the same time as the joy, I felt relaxed and then closed my eyes, feeling the fatigue coming on me.

When I went downstairs, people who had gone to battle were returning. Among them, the first to come was Kinoya.

When he ran into me, he took a bottle of alcohol, drank it, and smiled.

“Everyone is participating in cleaning up after themselves. That’s why even I, an old person, couldn’t participate in something like that. My bones are sore these days.”

“Thank you for your hard work. Anyway, what was the situation like…”

“War situation… Ah. what. Your swordsmanship is truly amazing.”

Kinoya calmly told me what happened in the battle.

At first, a meteor shower was launched to attack the enemy, but the enemy blocked the meteor shower in a strange way.

Afterwards, he focused the enemy’s attacks on himself and fended them off alone, while also rescuing soldiers he thought were in danger.

“Hong Seong-moon and Moon Wol-jung were also great. Of course, I was a bit surprised by Cheol-ho’s sudden appearance. Why don’t Nakilgeom and Moonlight Blade work together to catch one of them, then separate and each catch one by one?”

“Cooperation between you two?”

“Haha. That’s right. And then what. In the end, Sword Saint defeated Sima Jun and his men, and the rest ran away, so I chased them down and caught them. haha. Teacher Yoo should have seen those Sapa bastards running away!”

I guess I’ll have to read the report for more details, but it seems like everyone put in a lot of effort.

Anyway, from my point of view, I am just grateful, but did the Sword Saint go through that much trouble?

I tilted my head and Ki Noya smiled and patted my shoulder.

“You’ve really had a hard time.”

“Did I do something? Other people had a hard time. I don’t know how to repay you.”

“Nana, this kid, is a soldier. It’s natural that we have to use our strength to catch those guys. Anyway, I will report this matter to the general. And attacks on officials who were receiving various things from Sima’s army will also begin.”

Because losers tend to lose a lot. The officials who supported Sima’s army should probably be prepared to give up their official positions.

But we won’t be able to catch the Iron Bloods with this.

If I knew something was wrong, I would cut the tail off quickly.

Still, we should be satisfied with the results we have achieved so far.

Because our scenario is not over yet.

“It’s going to be really cold this winter.”

“Of course.”

Maybe the central government will bring blood to those involved in this matter.

It must be very cold.

All of the injured were moved to the government office.

This was because skilled doctors and medicine were located in the government office.

But even so, a great victory is a great victory, so I decided to celebrate as much as I could.

Alcohol and meat. And a thank you gift.

He was forced to send food to military officers who repeatedly declined, and he sent his assistant, who worked under Yohwan, to help with the cooking.

At that level, the soldiers would be able to eat and rest well on their own at the government office.

Ginoya and Wiyeol also went there, saying they had something to talk about with the prefect.

I guess they are trying to recruit the wise man who is good at his job to Cheon Il-hwa.

It’s not a bad thing.

Anyway, in our scenario, Cheon Il-hwa was the one who stayed with us until the end.

Those who would go went away and the rest gathered in the guesthouse.

I turned my head. The guesthouse was closed today, but many of the seats in the guesthouse were filled.

Hong Seong-moon and the people of Moonwol-jeong.

Of course, they regard each other as rivals, but is it because they fought while helping each other on the same battlefield?

The Wolgwangdae members and Hong Seong-moon’s disciples had a friendly atmosphere in their own way.

Maybe it was because Yohwan showed off his skills properly.

“Geomseong. Would you like to say something?”

While everyone was having fun, I asked the Sword Saint. It is said that the Sword Saint made the greatest contribution in this battle, so it would be right for her to take the lead in this position.

So I told her, and Geomseong looked at me for a moment and then laughed.

“I think it’s right for you to do it for me.”

“Um… in that case.”

I raised my glass.

People sitting are looking at me.

Some people have some marks left, and others have bruises or swelling here and there.

But that kind of wound is just a wound that will heal after a few days of rest.

Also, we have plenty of medicine, so you don’t have to worry about getting hurt.

“As a resident of an island village. Thank you.”

I raised my glass and expressed my respect.

I meant it.

If it weren’t for them, the island village would have collapsed and all our efforts would have been in vain.

“Oh! Guest lord! Don’t bow your head!”

“You worked hard, too!”

I shouted here and there, but that’s not important.

Because I just poured everything into my goal.

“Thank you. I will never forget this debt. ruler. Eat and drink as much as you want today.”

I drank the alcohol in my glass in one go. The Geomseong who was watching this also raised his glass and everyone smiled and started eating.

It is truly a peaceful and peaceful sight.

We may have tried so hard to see this very sight.

Of course, it’s not over yet.

“Now. Please eat some of this.”

When Hongryeon, who put the stir-fried meat on my plate, said with a smile, Chaejin next to me offered me some vegetable wrap.

I smiled at them both and politely accepted them and ate them.

“I heard that you two joined forces in this fight.”

Hongryeon and Chaejin’s shoulders tremble. I smiled at them.

“Thank you. I know that their relationship is not very good. Nevertheless, I am so grateful and sorry for holding my hand to save Seomhwachon.”

“Ugh, ah. No, what.”

“…That could be true. In order to get something important…”

They both hesitated and avoided my gaze. I spoke calmly to them.

“Still. I will definitely repay this debt. Is there anything you want?”

“Uh… uh, it’s not like it doesn’t exist.”

“Can I tell you later…?”

Hongryeon and Chaejin said while looking at each other. It’s later. Well, it would be better if I don’t say anything right now.

I nodded and looked at the Sword Saint.

“I should also thank the Sword Saint. I don’t know what help I can be to the Sword Saint. If you need my help, please let me know anytime.”

“I just hope you keep your promise last time.”

Since we promised last time, any time is fine, so is it okay if we take a walk around the town together?

I nodded.

“Okay.”

ruler. Well then, shall we look somewhere else?

After asking for understanding from the three people eating and drinking, I looked around the other side and ordered additional items from those who said they were missing something or wanted to eat something.

When you’re walking around like that.

There was a place that stood out.

“Uh… I don’t know if I can drink that…”

“It’s okay. And you promised, right?”

Chae-ryeon was smiling and pouring a drink into Sayun’s glass.

Sayoon, who was embarrassed, didn’t know what to do, but clinked his glass with Chae-ryeon and took a sip.

I sighed when I saw Yuhee next to me giggling and drinking together.

this.

Are you okay?

It wasn’t okay either.

I returned to my seat and glanced at him while drinking. Even though it was his first time drinking, he gulped down the drink and ended up getting drunk.

“Ehehe~! Master!! Stop speaking! Thank you always. I truly became Master’s disciple and the Master’s disciple. And I can’t tell you how happy I am to be the other sister-in-law’s younger sibling. It makes me wonder if I could live happily every day like this. Woohoo. Thank you so much. Thank you… and the host! I can’t tell you how grateful I am for your constant care and consideration. I… hehe… it’s all thanks to you all that I can always smile and be happy like this. Ahahaha… Is it okay for me to be this happy? Yes?”

As they were taking a sip at their seats, Geomseong and Hongryeon grinned at the sight of Sayun, who had come here with Chae-ryeon, smiling and repeatedly saying thank you.

Well, it’s not a bad thing to smile, and saying thank you no matter how many times is not enough, but you seem to be very drunk, so I think you should let me sleep for a while…

“Can’t you force the drunkenness away?”

Hongryeon stroked Sayun’s head roughly and then shook her head.

“It is possible, but at this rate, it would be better to just let it rest for a while. If you’re at Sayoon’s level right now, if you sleep a little, you’ll wake up quickly.”

“Then, let’s let him sleep for a while in the empty room.”

“Ah. I will take you with me.”

Hongryeon lightly carried Sayun on her back. While watching this, Chae-ryeon spoke calmly.

“I will take care of you until you wake up.”

“Is that okay?”

“Hehe. Sure. Let’s go.”

Chae-ryeon, who was looking at Sayun, who kept smiling brightly, as if she was cute, suggested this, and Hong-ryeon and I walked there.

Even Yoo-hee, Sayun’s best friend and sister-in-law, follows along and pats Sayun on the back.

Every time, she burst out laughing.

“Ugh. I just drank it like a fool.”

“Hehe. Isn’t it cute though?”

I took Sayun to an empty room on the second floor of the guest house while listening to Yoohee and Chaeryeon talking next to me.

Yu-hee and Chae-ryeon said that they would talk and rest while Sayun, who had come down from Hongryeon’s back, lay down on the bed.

Then I guess I can leave it to the two of you. Hongryeon stroked Sayun’s head a few times and then went down, and I brought some sobering medicine from my room and handed it to her.

When running a guesthouse, there were many instances of drunk customers falling over, so I kept it in reserve, but I never thought I would use it like this.

“Can I feed you this?”

“That’s right. When it wakes up, feed it with water. ah. And here is honey and water…”

“You can make honey water and feed it, right? Don’t worry.”

“Haha. You have a strong sense of responsibility.”

“I’m doing that because I want to become friends. How come it’s so hard to hate?”

She said with a smile and I shrugged. I couldn’t deny it because it was absolutely correct.

Anyway, I told him to take the medicine when he woke up after a little sleep and was about to go down.

Sayun’s hand grabbed the hem of my clothes.

“…Uncle…”

Uncle. It’s a good sound.

I smiled at her, and after a while, I must have lost strength, so I let go of the hem of my clothes and left the room.

Then he came down and spoke to those who were waiting.

“I think Sayun will make a good friend.”

“…Who is it? Is it really Ryeon?”

“That’s right.”

“Umm… Are you okay?”

“Anyway, I need to teach Sayun how to drink properly.”

When Hongryeon spoke with a bitter smile, Chaejin tilted her head.

“Uh. okay. Even if you’re drunk, it’s basic to be able to drive away the intoxication with inner energy. Didn’t you teach me?”

“Not yet. I was planning on teaching you and Judo together while drinking together sometime soon…”

Hongryeon shook her head, and I looked at Geomseong and asked.

“By the way, shouldn’t leadership be taught by the most senior Sword Saint?”

Before she knew it, there were quite a few empty bottles next to her.

When did you drink like this?

Geomsung looked at the bottles next to him and at me, then smiled awkwardly.

“Please drink like this only when you are with your disciples and people you trust, and not at other times. Well, don’t look at me like that.”

What and how did I see it?

“Really. Trust me…”

“That’s right. Master, you only eat a lot when good things happen and when you are with good people. Later, when I taught Judo to Sayun, the teacher also tried to join me. Did I also learn from the teacher?”

“…Hehe. Look at that.”

When Hongryeon spoke with a smile, Geomseong looked proud and smiled confidently.

No, I didn’t say anything?
