Before it gets dark.

The Tang party arrived at the place where the Ghost Mountain was.

It was the power of a fine horse.

and.

The first time the visitors saw the ghost mountain, they were overwhelmed by its grandeur.

“I didn’t know it would be this rough.”

“The fog is so thick, I wonder if I can even find my way… … .”

“… … Attacking an enemy who is trapped in a mountain like that?”

Reviewers who doubt their eyes.

No, it would be right to say that one doubts whether the Tang family is in their right mind.

Even a person who was unfamiliar with military tactics would know that attacking an enemy in such impregnable terrain was a madman’s act.

However.

“Strike the truth.”

King Dokwang Dangmuak gave the order to set up camp without even the slightest hesitation.

“Name.”

The Tang clan’s warriors only obeyed orders and built formations in perfect order.

In an instant, a line was formed in front of Ghost Mountain.

Is this so obvious, since this is a battlefield?

No it wasn’t.

It was a very strange thing.

first.

The battlefield where they had to fight was inside the mountain, not here, so they should have advanced forward rather than built a camp.

Second.

If it’s for distribution, then it’s understandable.

However, anyone who looks at this formation now can see that it is not a formation for supply, but a formation prepared to fight the enemy.

So, it is incredibly strange.

“What, what… … .”

“Why on earth are you here… … .”

The later indexes are in a state of confusion.

The Tang family’s unmanned unit approached those later indexes.

“You can go over there.”

The place pointed to by the Tang family’s unmanned unit.

That was the furthest rear of Jin.

After seeing that, quite a few reviewers breathed a sigh of relief.

Most of them were the small fry of big names.

It was fortunate that the risk of getting caught up in it was virtually eliminated.

So the big guys moved to the rear one by one.

Following this, the later indices of the Gupaebang and Odaesega also moved.

Bang So-woon and Jang Il-do were also included.

***

“… … What on earth are you thinking?”

Even Jang Il-ma feels something strange.

This is clearly not normal.

Bang So-woon narrowed his eyes and was lost in thought.

A fight to be won.

Knowing that, the outline of the picture begins to take shape little by little.

But something crucial was missing that needed to be filled in.

That something.

“Master?”

chuck.

Bang So-woon raised his hand to signal not to disturb.

Because I felt like if I thought about it more, I would figure something out.

‘The sound of the drum in the morning… … Why did it ring so early?’

The sound of drums that tore through the time closer to dawn than morning.

If that is indeed the sound of the drums ringing, one question arises.

Why did you have to ring so early?

Because it is sufficient to strike the drum of expedition just before departure.

‘There is a reason.’

Because there is no action in this world without a reason.

Bang So-woon calmly analyzes each link one by one.

Then, all of a sudden, his eyes lit up as if something had flashed.

‘What if the expedition isn’t just one?’

I thought I would only go on a mission once.

Because it was a large-scale force led directly by the King.

But when I thought about it again, there was something that was bothering me.

First of all, size.

It was clearly a considerable force of the main force, but compared to the original strength of the Sacheon Dangmun that we knew, it was a scale that felt insufficient.

Even considering that they had left their defensive power at home, there was clearly a shortage.

That’s right.

‘There were two expeditions.’

The advance party and the main party.

If so, it makes sense that the drum of departure was sounded so early.

It was rang out to match the first advance party that set out.

‘So that’s what it was.’

Bang So-woon was the first to fully realize that the vanguard had been evacuated.

The fact that Taegeuk Sword Dragon, Hwasan Sword Dragon, and Geombong realized with their own transcendent martial arts skills was discovered only by relying on their head and the situation that arose.

It was a scene that showed how great of a brain Bang So-woon had.

‘Then the advance team is… … .’

One thing is certain.

Naturally, they headed towards Ghost Song.

But where are they now?

At least not here.

‘We don’t have enough strength to launch a surprise attack. An ambush is meaningless against an enemy who is already entrenched. So why…?

Bang So-woon’s gaze, lost in thought, first saw the ghost mountain.

A rugged terrain that no one would dare attack.

Soon his gaze turned to the Tang Dynasty warriors who were standing in solid formation.

A meaningless formation unless the enemy springs forward and attacks first.

Yeah, it doesn’t make sense.

Unless the enemy pops out… … No, wait!

Bang So-woon’s eyes sparkled as if he realized something.

‘Does it only work if the enemy pops out from the beginning? That means from the beginning… … .’

It was when the thread was quickly unraveling from Bang So-woon’s head.

Wheeing!

A strong wind suddenly blew my collar.

gale.

Is it simply a whim of nature?

But Bang So-woon didn’t seem to feel that way.

“Backlash!”

Bang So-woon screamed without realizing it.

A shiver ran down my spine.

Because I realized it.

That the wind direction suddenly changed.

A mere human being cannot shake the wind.

This is what was aimed for.

Wind direction fluctuations identified through thorough analysis.

“Do, Master?”

Jang Il looks at Bang So-woon with a puzzled expression.

It wasn’t just Jang Il.

The reviewers also looked at Bang So-woon, who suddenly blurted out the word backlash, with various gazes.

An expression that asks what kind of strange thing are you talking about?

An expression that asks, “What the hell are you doing all of a sudden?”

But there were some who weren’t like that.

Rather, watching meaningfully.

“Hoo.”

Cheongsong’s eyes sparkled with interest.

-what do you think about it?

Cheongsong sending a telegram to Baek Mu-gyeol.

-… …Why is there a sudden noise?

-Well, there are too many ears to listen here. Anyway, that’s fine. What do you think?

-Hmm, there is definitely a backlash here.

-Right? It’s such a coincidence.

Cheongsong also smiled as if he agreed.

‘So you’re saying it wasn’t just a tool to be used?’

The Golden Dragon Master Bang So-woon.

I just thought he was a tool being used by the Zhuge Liang family.

Because I’m sick and tired of seeing people being used by others for their foolish desires that go beyond their means.

But it seemed that he wasn’t just that kind of person.

There’s no way a person of that level would immediately realize the seriousness of the backlash.

‘I guess it’s worth worrying about.’

In that way, Bang So-woon was remembered by Cheong Song as he had been.

one side.

‘also.’

Yoo Seol-young had an expression that said she already knew that Bang So-woon would realize the backlash.

There’s no way a man with that level of insight wouldn’t realize that.

However.

The important thing here is to go one step further.

There is a world of difference between noticing something is wrong and figuring out what it means.

Yoo Seol-yeong clearly admitted that she did not have that level of insight.

Because using your head wasn’t your long-term goal in the first place.

but.

Golden Dragon Jangju, then maybe it’s different.

His martial arts skills are horribly poor, but his true abilities lie in his mind, the limits of which cannot be guessed.

Yoo Seol-yeong stared straight at Bang So-woon.

When was the last time you expected something like this from someone?

It’s been so long that I don’t even remember properly.

An unusual occurrence.

But that doesn’t mean anything.

What was important was whether or not those expectations were met.

‘You really are… … .’

When Yoo Seol-young blinked her eyes meaningfully.

“Fire poison!”

Bang So-woon shouted again.

At that moment.

The Tang Dynasty warriors, who had been standing silently like stone statues until now, froze with their eyes wide open.

Since everyone was looking forward, the Yongbongjihoe’s later members who were at the rear didn’t see it.

***

“Tae, Taesang Gajussi… … .”

Amjeol Dangcheolsan was so flustered that he even broke out in a cold sweat.

It was truly a rare sight to see the world’s most beautiful woman in such a state of confusion.

That means what just happened wasn’t ordinary.

The Poison King’s face also became cold.

“Who dared to leak it?”

“That, that too… … .”

“… … .”

Poison.

It was a poison known only to the Tang people in the world.

It’s not that common of a poison.

Because it was a special poison that only displayed its terrible toxicity when ignited.

Is that all?

no.

Fire can be put out with water, but poison cannot be quenched with water.

That is why fire poison is the best fire attack.

It could almost be called the flames of death.

And that was the ultimate weapon to destroy Ghost Song.

However, no matter how powerful the weapon is, it is impossible to execute without the help of the wind.

That’s why I took advantage of the southwest wind.

At this point, it’s exactly the opposite wind.

If you were to set fire to the other side, the wind would blow in a tailwind and burn fiercely in an instant.

That’s why the advance party was located right on the opposite side.

So that I can set fire to the ghost mountain with a blazing fire whenever the signal is given.

“Your Majesty, I want you to tell me the whole story right now… … .”

“You idiot. You said you had time for that now.”

“… … .”

“Let’s proceed as planned. We’ll find out about the leak later.”

“… … Okay.”

“Have everyone take the antidote and send the signal.”

“Your name!”

The flames of death were about to rise on Ghost Mountain.
