Ujithong!!

Whoosh!

Jangpal, a crockery vendor, looked at the shattered stall with empty eyes. The stalls that had already been pitched as needed had no place to be pitched anymore.

Tomorrow, I’ll just lay a cloth down and put the products on it. Thinking like that, Jangpal gathered all the stalls, which were almost like pieces of wood, in one place.

It’s been a long time since we stopped putting broken dishes outside. With blank eyes, Jangpal picked up the dented bronze cup and began to beat it straight with a wooden mallet.

Absolutely!

I burst out laughing as I saw the stall of the store next door being blown to pieces by hitting the hammer. What kind of person in the world would turn a stall into a pile of wood chips with one punch?

Even the merchants knew now.

These masters disguised as junk are actually disturbing the territory of the Sokryeong faction.

The actions of the experts were literally like a swarm of locusts.

Destroyed earth!

Like a swarm of locusts that kill all food and disappear, they appeared wherever people passed and pretended to fight, destroying all objects, so the scenery of this prison was truly a battlefield.

There were clear signs of damage to every store, and pieces of wood, bricks, and other objects were lying around on the streets.

“Look, owner. Can I ask you something?”

Jangpal raised his head, looked ahead, and was shocked. It was because of a man wearing a blood-covered robe speckled with various grass colors.

“Ugh, ugh! Why are you doing this! It’s just a piece of equipment that was destroyed just now!”

“Calm down. I’m just a streetwalker passing by.”

Jangpal swept away his shocked chest. These days, there has been an increase in the number of camouflage masters who go beyond delinquency and pursue unconventional individuality, so I thought that the person wearing the mottled blood-like robe was also an expert disguised as a hombre…

They didn’t move around in groups of 4 or 5, and they spoke normally, so it didn’t seem like they were experts disguised as jabbae.

“Hyuyu, I thought I was losing my liver.”

Jangpal thought to himself as he observed the man’s behavior. Normally, Pipungui is made by weaving together dried grass, but what if a person walks around looking like a piece of grass is walking around?

“Huh, okay, how much is that bronze cup?”

“…Give me five fairy tales.”

Jangpal handed the unopened glass to the man, and the man looked at the glass for a moment and stuffed it into his arms without saying a word. Jangpal noticed that the man wanted to buy information rather than goods and opened his mouth.

“Okay, what are you curious about?”

“Are there a lot of people like that these days?”

Jangpal sighed as the man’s gaze confirmed that it was not the miscellaneous boats that were destroying property, but the miscellaneous boats.

“Fortress Okgye is full of people like that! world! Look, Okgye is not just a battlefield! They are all just destroyed by those guys going on a rampage.”

“Hehe.”

“The merchants of Okgye are literally dying because of those guys. The damage caused by the items being destroyed is bad, but they completely destroyed the store and made it impossible to do business, so they are just telling everyone to die…! Haha…”

“It looks like there are more than one group of miscellaneous people like that?”

“I can’t count, I can’t count…Starting with the white tiger and blue dragon, there are more than ten that I know of.”

“I see, you must have suffered a lot.”

Jangpal sighed and said.

“What can I say? I can’t die so I live!”

In response to Jang-pal’s complaint, the man spoke.

“Don’t worry now. Because the emperor has come.”

Jangpal blinked at the man’s words. What came?

The man just grinned while receiving the questioning look from the long arm.

Good! Good! Good! Good!

Regular footsteps began to sound in Jangpal’s ears.

Jangpal turned his gaze in that direction without realizing it. Although they matched as if they were one beat, the footsteps did not belong to just one or two people. A strange situation where dozens, or even more than a hundred people are walking, but the sound is heard as if they were one.

“Between marches! Let’s go! Military song! Destruction! Torch!”

“Ah, the one who protects this beautiful river and mountain!”

Good! Good! Good! Good!

At the sound of the loud sound, the actions of the Kwonbeophoe and the Gakbeophoe, which were carrying out acts of destruction, stopped.

“Sana-I lived today with this spirit – everything!”

Jangpal’s eyes opened wide. Tops and bottoms speckled with grass color! And an octagonal hat with a short brim whose function as a hat is questionable!

People wearing uniforms that I have never seen before are approaching in an orderly manner, stamping their feet and singing!

The Kwonbeophoe and the Gakbeophoe, who were making a fuss, also opened their mouths at their actions and attire, but they could not help but be embarrassed.

Stinging hostility!

They had no idea what the approaching group was, wearing uniforms they had never seen before, observing military standards, and singing strange songs. However, the warriors of the Quan Fa Association and each Fa Association had an intuition that they were targeting them.

“For now…!”

The monks of each court who were trying to tell them to run away couldn’t help but be embarrassed when they saw what was behind them.

chuck! chuck! chuck!

“For the peace of my hometown, my parents and my siblings, while risking the sea of fire!”

Because the same group appeared from the rear. The driver, who turned his gaze to exit through the alley instead of the main street, was also confused.

chuck! chuck! chuck! chuck!

“Comrades, my country is mine! ji! Kin! Everything!”

People wearing octagonal hats were pouring out of the alleys!

In an instant, the Gakfahoe and the Quanbeopkai were surrounded by hundreds of octagonal hats and were stuck together in their siege net, not knowing what to do.

Jang-pal looked at them blankly, but suddenly came to his senses when he saw the bloody robe that was held out.

“Please take care of me for a while.”

Jangpal looked at the man, quickly nodded and accepted the blood jacket.

Unlike those who had just appeared, he was wearing a blood-red top, but the pants the man was wearing were a big deal.

“Yes! Yes!”

“Thank you.”

The man, Kangchumoru, shook off the dust from his red octagonal hat and slowly put it on in a reverential manner.

“Under the torch of destruction! I’m putting my life on the line!”

“Total number-! Attention!”

Good! Good!

All the soldiers who had been stamping their feet at Gangchumoru’s command stood at attention.

Then, the streets of Okgye are immediately engulfed in dead silence.

Jump and jump.

Only the sound of Kangchumoru’s gunfire as he walked was heard in everyone’s ears.

“Do you know what you are doing?”

In response to Kangchumoru’s question, each law society and the law society remained silent. The situation was so embarrassing that I couldn’t even figure out what to say.

“You have now committed treason.”

“What, what!”

“Nonsense!”

At Kangchumoru’s words, each Dharma Association and the Quan Dharma Association were amazed, and the surrounding merchants held their breath.

Treason!

It was natural that if you were caught, not even a single bone could be recovered, and if you were not careful, it was a terrible crime that could lead to your entire family being exterminated.

“Treason! We just had a fight with the authors! This is absurd!”

Each Buddhist monk raised his voice, pointing to the Gwon Buddhist monk. All the warriors nodded vigorously.

“Reflect on your actions.”

The warriors blankly reflected on Kangchumoru’s words. Reconsider your behavior?

“I don’t know if you guys thought they had just destroyed a stall or a piece of furniture, but even though there are strict national laws, they formed a cabal and repeatedly committed acts of destruction in public places. Did you think that the empire would just leave these people alone?”

The warriors’ faces hardened. What Kangchumoru said was definitely correct.

No matter how distant the law may be, it definitely exists. It was only once or twice that a commotion was created once in a while and it went away like a loach, but causing such a big commotion repeatedly on the main street was definitely a problem.

“Is there even one good store in this Okgye? Regardless of whether you are on a main street or a small road, you cannot find the product in any store. What about the loss of tax revenue and deterioration of public order as a result, and what about the suffering suffered by the common people?”

“Yes, but even so, treason is…!”

In response to the martial artist’s protest, Kangchumoru smiled coldly and said,

“All the investigation has already been completed and confirmation has been made, so are you just turning away? Cheongryong, Baekho, Dongmun, Nammun, Pig’s Feet, Bossam… you all have different names, but the four guys who repeatedly wreaked havoc on this Okgye using wildly different methods were all acting with the same purpose!”

The warriors’ faces turned pale at Kangchumoru’s point.

“Woah, we are not the same team!”

“Those who were fighting just now can become one team!”

“Go! Why are you trying to cover the sky with your palms?”

Kangchumoru blocked their protest with an angry shout.

“Is it a coincidence that warriors over 50 years old lie about their status and postpone a violent attack? Everyone is spreading out and attacking Okgye in unison. If this is not treason, what is it?”

The warriors were speechless. All he could say was that it was a misunderstanding and that it was not true, but did he have to say that he came to attack the dependent faction at the instigation of other factions of the Apostolic Alliance?

If you tell the truth, you will end up at odds with members of the Apostolic Alliance or live a life of being chased by assassins, but if you keep silent, you will be labeled a traitor.

I can’t do this or that!

Gangchumoru kindly put an end to their worries.

“Enemy!”

“Evil!”

“Suppress the traitors!”

“Evil!”

“Throw!”

Sushi Sisik!!

Burbubbubbuk!!

“Aaagh!”

“These guys! Ugh!”

The warriors of the Quan Beophoe and each Beophoe, who were trying to somehow escape the encirclement of the Red Ghost Army, were quickly overcome by hundreds of throwing weapons flying at them all at once.

Even if you were a top expert and not a top-notch expert, you had no choice but to be helplessly defeated by a single shot from a throwing weapon!

The warriors of the Kwonbeophoe and Gakbeophoe, who were instantly reduced to rags by bladeless, non-lethal throwing weapons, were captured.

“Capture the traitors without missing a single one!”

“Evil!”

Numerous government soldiers wearing octagonal hats poured into the streets of Okgye.

It was a moment when the streets of Okgye, which had fallen into the abyss of chaos and destruction, were quickly cleared up.
