◈ Alliance (5)
Around the time when the Beast Palace was advancing from west to east.
The Sun Palace also gathered the archers from the main palace and began advancing from south to north.
Unlike the Beast Palace’s roles of reconnaissance, poison removal, combat, and rear clearing, and Ouyang Pai’s complex command, the Sun Palace’s advance was carried out in a fairly simple manner.
“Blow away the poisonous dance!”
“Jonmyeong!”
Whenever there is a feeling that poison is about to flow, the Sun sign lord gives an order, and dozens of Sun sign archers step forward.
Quaaaaa!
And a splendid baptism of flames would spread across the palms of those who had mastered the martial arts of Yeolyangjigi.
Originally, most poisons were vulnerable to heat. Naturally, Oh Dok-moon had a very poor compatibility with the Sun sign.
If a war were to break out, the difference in compatibility would be absolutely disadvantageous.
Nevertheless, the reason why Odokmun was able to survive was, ironically, because of the existence of the Beast Palace.
The Beast sign and the Sun sign had a relationship that was not particularly compatible.
Therefore, from the Sun sign’s perspective, it would have been easier to deal with the Beast sign if it had been defeated by Oh Dok-moon.
Ignorant barbarians were vulnerable to the poison of misreading.
However, once the Sun Palace learned that Oh Dok-mun, whom they had ignored so far, was plotting a trick and trying to trick them, the Sun Palace Lord had no intention of letting them live.
In particular, the fact that Oh Dok-mun planted Sejak offended the Lord of the Sun.
Rather than Sejak itself, the fact that the archers were poisoned was the problem itself.
‘This means that they are now creating a poison that can overcome the Yeolyangjigi, so we need to sort it out soon.’
The Sun Palace Lord was a man with quite a deep heart. The only problem was that after learning the Yeolyangjigong technique, I would occasionally get angry.
Although he had a good mind, he had a problem where sometimes when he got angry, he would just attack something without even having time to think about it.
In any case, the Five Poison Gates had now developed a poison capable of resisting Yeolyangjigi to some extent.
Nevertheless, one of the biggest reasons why the Sun sign was able to advance so easily was because of ‘a certain person.’
“Old house owner. “How about we stop and take a break?”
Even now, towards Geumyanghwi, who took the lead and drove out Dokmu without any hesitation, the Sun Palace Lord gave a recommendation in a serious tone.
No matter how much Odogmun created a poison that could resist Yeolyangjigi, it didn’t work on a master of Geumyanghwi’s level.
Geumyanghwi suffered internal injuries during the dance with Ouyangpae, but was able to recover to some extent during the two days when the archers of the Sun Palace joined him.
And from immediately after the start of the advance until now. Geumyanghwi was leading the advance of the Sun Palace, driving out Dokmu from the front line every time.
“If I want to repay the princess for the favor I have received over the past ten years, even this is not enough.”
“I know that your internal injuries have not fully healed yet. A full-scale battle may break out soon, so please calm down a little for that time.”
“… … “If it is the palace lord’s will, I will do so.”
Geumyanghwi, who showed his respect with a nod, eventually retreated to the rear.
The Princess of the Sun, who was looking at Geum Yang-hwi, who was even showing her respect, sighed softly inwardly.
‘It’s a shame. ‘I can’t believe we have to send a man like that to the end of this war.’
The first time the Sun Palace Lord met Geumyanghwi was about ten years ago.
At that time, Geumyanghwi escaped from the Heavenly Demon Church and wandered across the continent to avoid pursuit.
Then, by chance, I met the Lord of the Sun, Geumyanghwi’s skills and personality. And the Lord of the Sun, who was jealous of the fact that he was learning Yeolyang Jigong, persuaded him.
However, Geumyanghwi rejected the offer of the Lord of the Sun Palace on the grounds that he could not abandon the tenets of the religion.
This is despite being chased by the Cult of the Heavenly Demon Church’s pursuers.
But, funny enough, it was the Lord of the Sun that I liked that honest look even more.
In the end, instead of telling Geum Yang-hwi to follow the doctrines of the Sun Palace, the Sun Palace Lord asked Geum Yang-hwi to stay at least as a guest.
After that, Geumyanghwi stayed with the Sun sign for ten years.
He said that living like a bed bug was not suited to his temperament, and he would often take the initiative and solve the problem by force whenever a problem arose in the territory of the sun sign.
The owner of the Sun Palace tried to impress Geum Yang-hwi and make him a member of the Sun Palace under the pretext of praising his achievements, but it did not work.
Therefore, he was semi-forcibly handed over the position of leader of the external party, only involved in ‘external affairs’, under the condition that he could return to the Heavenly Demon Church whenever he wanted.
‘It’s such a shame, it’s such a shame! ‘If only it weren’t for that brat who was playing Goyang Gang or something.’
Is it because there is a risk of losing talented people? The tantrum that I had always been suppressing while being on guard suddenly intensified.
“Would you rather kill him?”
The sun palace lord muttered what was on his mind without realizing it, but soon came to his senses and shook his head.
‘If you do that, you will be at odds with that friend forever. There will be no such thing as a handshake. okay… . Yang Hwi I’ve received a lot of help from that friend, so it’s time to let him go.’
As the head of the family, Geumyanghwi organized all external affairs that occurred in the territory of the Sun Palace, so the territory of the Palace of the Sun was more peaceful than ever.
And Geumyanghwi gave all the credit to himself, so the citizens living in the territory all revered him, the current owner of the Sun Palace.
Geumyanghwi said that he had not yet fully repaid the favor, but looking at it objectively, he had already received enough to return.
but.
“Wouldn’t it be okay to secretly kill that friend Yang Hwi without him knowing?”
What was disappointing was that it was disappointing.
“no no. No matter what, you can’t do such a despicable thing like misreading. cancer.”
It was the Lord of the Sun who kept coming and going.
* * *
The advance of the Beast Palace and the Sun Palace toward the Five Gates progressed slowly but steadily.
It was not easy to increase the speed of the advance as the Five Dogmun unleashed poison at every corner of the road.
And both the Beast Sign and the Sun Sign proceeded slowly but steadily removing the poison, rather than excessively speeding up and causing casualties.
About seven days and nights had passed since the advance began.
“Hahaha! You made it back alive! “Momsaeng of the South!”
“Please shut that mouth. Northern barbarians. “Before I burn my mouth with fire.”
The Sun Sign and the Beast Sign finally joined in front of the place where they had promised.
That is, on a hill overlooking the swampy area where the headquarters of Odogmun is located.
If things continued like this, it looked like the Beast Palace Lord and the Sun Palace Lord would fight again, so Mujin joined the conversation with the Gooyangpae, which was used as an interpreter and soldier.

“Did you encounter any major problems on the way here?”
“These bastards are just dragging time with their poison. “There was no special engagement.”
“It was the same here, so it looks like they were planning to fortify there from the beginning.”
“So what do you plan to do now? “Is it okay if I just melt all that poison with the hot water?”
At the question of the Sun Palace Lord, the Beast Palace Lord burst out in laughter.
“Hahaha! “How could a person like the lord of a palace come up with such an ‘ignorant’ method!”
It was a sneer from the Beast Palace Lord, who had already heard the overall plan through Ouyangpae and Mujin.
Of course, the Sun Palace couldn’t bear to hear that ‘that’ Beast Palace Lord was ignorant.
bang!!
Before I knew it, flames were blooming in the Sun Palace Lord’s fist, but the Beast Palace Lord also blocked the strike with a predatory smile.
“Before I attack you, I think I should burn your head first. “It’s just for decoration anyway, so there’s no need for it, right?”
“Hehehe. Even so, I was also holding back in order to kill those Odogmun bastards. “Before that, I’ll crush your head as a warm-up.”
Seeing the two growling as soon as they met, Mujin and Oyangpae sighed and tried to stop them.
But why?
The way the Sun Palace Lord looked at Ouyang Pae, who came to stop her, was not very kind.
‘… … what? Did he make some mistake with the Sun Palace Lord?’
Mujin noticed the sign, but Ouyangpae seemed not to care at all.
“Whoa.”
For a moment, he glared fiercely at the Beast Palace Lord and Ouyang Pae, who was trying to stop him.
The Sun Palace Lord, who managed to control his anger, withdrew his fist.
“So, what plan did you guys have in mind?”
Meanwhile, the Sun Palace Lord never paid attention to the Beast Palace Lord.
Because I knew very well that the moment I started talking to that guy, my fist would come out first again.
“First of all, as the Sun Palace Lord said, burning all the poisonous ash spread across that swamp would be a solution, but there is one big problem.”
“problem?”
“exactly. That solo dance is a dokjin installed by Odogmun. As its power is considerable, you will have to consume a lot of internal energy to blow away that dokjin. “If they attack from Odokmun right after that, the damage will inevitably be great.”
“Anyway, aren’t these bastards with the same poison in their mouths as good as corpses except for the poison?”
“If it’s just the misreading, that’s okay, but we have reinforcements.”
Mujin and Ouyang Pae briefly explained about the Jeomchang faction and Hwang Gon’s subordinates who had joined the Oh Dokmun.
“Then what do you plan to do? Are you planning to just surround us here and wait for them to crawl out on their own?”
“It’s the same as surrounding us in a circle to prevent them from moving recklessly or adding additional reinforcements, but I have no intention of just waiting. “We have also called in reinforcements.”
“Hmm. “When the reinforcements arrive, he is saying he will begin the attack then.”
“exactly.”
After Mujin and Ouyangpae finished their explanation, the Sun Palace Lord nodded as if she understood.
* * *
After discussing the rough plan. They formed a circle surrounding the five gates.
It was a circular formation to prevent additional enemy forces from joining and supplying supplies.
I knew for sure that if the Beast sign and the Sun sign were close together, there would be a fight, so the upper and lower ends of the Yuangun.
At the location where the two sides faced each other, the Jeokhodan and Mujin’s party took up positions and continued surveillance.
And then two more days passed.
Finally, the reinforcements requested by Mujin arrived, but the Sun Palace Lord frowned upon seeing the reinforcements.
“What are you going to do by bringing in just five more people?”
Four men in the age range from middle age to old age. This was because a young woman came to ask for reinforcements.
In order to allay the Sun Palace owner’s concerns, Mujin briefly explained the reinforcements he had invited.
“Don’t worry. Anyway, the problem is only Germany. The power itself is much stronger on our side. And these people are the best poison experts in the central region.”
At Mujin’s brief introduction, for some reason, the expressions of the men who came as reinforcements looked displeased.
And as if to represent their feelings, a young woman with Hong Il-jeom stepped forward and spoke.
“It’s the best in the midfield. “Are you ignoring our Sacheondang family now?”
Reinforcements invited by Mujin. That was Sacheondanga.
The only problem was that the Sacheon Party was currently fighting with the Army and the Blue Star Alliance in Sacheon.
Naturally, it was not easy to divert power to the outside, so Mujin requested that a few experts on poison be sent.
And a woman who came to Namman with four Germans. Dang Somi added her words.
“Sacheondanga’s poison is the best in the world. “Southern people’s misreadings are no match for us.”
As Dang So-mi said that, she looked at the Lord of the Sun with a confident expression.
It was a mockery of the attitude of the Sun Palace owner, who was sarcastic about how only five people came.
Didn’t they ask for reinforcements because they couldn’t solve the problem of misreading?
Did her provocative and confident attitude work?
“joy! If so, prove it with your skills. “If I can get rid of that Dokjin within three days, I will apologize to you for my rudeness.”
“Relax your neck muscles. “Because sooner or later you’ll have to bend that stiff neck.”
She smiled seductively at the snoring Sun Palace lord, and as if there was no need to delay, she started the independent analysis work with the Germans.
