Side Story Episode 62. Herald of Death (6)
After a light drinking party.
Lee Cheon-sang, who came out of Commandery Temple, asked Gwi-chang.
“Are you going to sleep right away?”
“That’s right.”
Lee Cheon-sang was lost in thought in silence.
A puzzled look appeared on Guichang’s face.
“why? Is there any problem?”
Yuljeoksan said in a cheerful tone.
“It looks like you want one more drink. I am like that too. How do you know a good bar nearby? “I heard that Homiru is really good.”
Lee Cheon-sang said.
“During missions, we coordinate the units as deputy commanders of the headquarters, and other than that, we manage and supervise the overall lives of the yakshas as governors.”
“I know. But why?”
“For a unit to run well, harmony among unit members is important. “Individual quarrels are always a factor that can arise, but if the discipline of the unit is disturbed as a result, as a superior, you must issue a harsh punishment. Knowingly ignoring it is unworthy of a superior.”
What does this mean out of the blue?
The two people looked at each other and then turned their gaze back to Lee Cheon-sang.
Lee Cheon-sang took the gun.
“Please take care of me in the future.”
With those words, he headed towards one of the buildings.
It was an unexpected ending to an unexpected story.
Yuljeoksan grumbled.
“What is it, that guy? “Bland.”
“… … .”
“Anyway, I don’t think we’ll get along well with that guy. I never imagined there would be someone harder than you. At first glance, doesn’t he seem like a guy who lives and dies by rules?”
“It didn’t seem like that.”
“Huh?”
“It seemed more flexible than I thought.”
“That guy who looks colder than ice and more indifferent than air?”
“Do you think such an inflexible guy can use such an unconventional martial arts technique?”
“uh… … is it?”
Yuljeoksan whetted his appetite.
“Anyway, if I’m not going to drink any more, I’m going to drink it alone. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Excessive drinking is prohibited.”
“I know, you bastard.”
“You also suffered internal injuries. Taking good care of one’s body is also a must for a unit member.”
“Oh my gosh, no mother would prey on a child complaining about side dishes.”
Yuljeoksan hurriedly walked out.
“I go first.”
“okay.”
Eventually, Gwi-chang, who was left alone, quietly pondered Lee Cheon-sang’s words.
“… … “It doesn’t seem like I’m just saying it.”

A week has passed.
The mission order was given, but there were still five days left until departure.
Yang Baek-ho ordered the three lieutenants not to deliver the mission yet.
No one knows what will happen at the top. If you make a schedule in advance and the order goes wrong in the middle, you only end up leaking steam.
It’s okay once or twice, but if it happens repeatedly, it creates distrust in superiors. Yang Baek-ho knew how to think about such delicate things.
Is it because the lieutenants have taken their places?
So far, progress in Jinbeop training has risen faster than expected.
Lee Cheon-sang’s insight was quick and accurate, and his ability to receive information was beyond description.
Since his understanding of the battle system was better than anyone else and his ability to react at a moment’s notice was bound to be excellent, his ability to coordinate the yakshas of nature was bound to be excellent.
Being smart and dealing with people are completely different things. Looking at things like that, Lee Cheon-sang was definitely something special.
After going through all the training, I had no choice but to acknowledge Yuljeoksan and Gwichang.
‘The commanding lord’s insight was accurate.’
My faith in Yang Baek-ho is as firm as ever.
However, I had no idea that Lee Cheon-sang was such an outstanding talent. His martial arts skills were also martial arts, but his ability to coordinate 150 soldiers in his unit was something that put his mind to rest.
It was also thanks to the rain dance a week ago.
There were certainly people within some circles who disapproved of Lee Cheon-sang’s rapid promotion. Human jealousy cannot be prevented by reason; it was natural.
However, in the dance, the yakshas could not help but acknowledge Lee Cheon-sang, who showed a more impressive appearance than the stronger Yuljeoksan and Gwichang.
There are still people who are jealous, but I trust his abilities. Demons are simple and do not hesitate to bow their heads when they recognize someone stronger than them.
Thanks to this, some showed the greatest growth in a short period of time.
In terms of individual strength, the three were the best, but in terms of unit strength, the Ikgak was the best. This was because the cohesion and understanding of the formation was extremely excellent.
Yuljeoksan and Gwichang, who saw Lee Cheon-sang’s abilities, accelerated their efforts. As a demon, he was better than Lee Cheon-sang, but they were the same lieutenants. A demon’s only virtue is strength, but for an adjutant, strength is just one of many virtues.
Fortunately, the two’s competitive spirit paid off as needed. They are not great people who are too competitive and envy their opponents or harbor harsh thoughts.
In that regard, Lee Cheon-sang also acknowledged Yang Baek-ho’s appointment. Clearly, he was a trustworthy person as a superior.
Two days passed like that again.
Yang Baek-ho announced the mission on a grand scale.

That night.
The work of the four people who had gathered at the commander’s office to discuss the mission was finished.
“That’s enough, let’s talk about the rest tomorrow.”
At that time, Gwi-chang raised his hand.
Yang Baek-ho lifted his chin.
“Something?”
“I have a favor to ask you.”
“Tell me.”
“If you have time… … “Please give me a lecture on the Jin method.”
“uh?”
It was an unimaginable statement. I had no idea that Gwi-chang would make such a request in front of everyone.
Yuljeoksan said, scratching his head.
“If you do it, I will listen.”
“Of course, if you want, I can lecture you all day long, but why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
“That’s because it’s hard to keep up.”
“Is it difficult? It’s thanks to you guys that I was able to move so fluidly in just two weeks. Since you understood my words correctly, you must have commanded the yakshas well.”
“I understand everything you ordered me to do.”
“But?”
Yuljeoksan sighed heavily and glanced at Lee Cheon-sang.
“This is because the level of understanding among certain states is too high. “We have to hear it three times to understand it, but after hearing it once, we can even apply it.”
“haha.”
Yang Baek-ho also recognized Lee Cheon-sang’s abilities.
“It is true that Ilgakju boasts outstanding capabilities in that field. But Ilgakju is overly outstanding, and you are also performing excellently.”
It wasn’t a lie. In fact, the two people’s understanding of the formation method was also above average.
In particular, because he had experience handling people, he was excellent at controlling the yakshas under his command with strong dignity. He was better than Lee Cheon-sang in that respect.
“If I know more than that, I think I will be able to give a straight answer when the yakshas ask questions or are curious. “I have memorized and understood everything the Lord told me, but as a superior, shouldn’t I know more and in more detail?”
“Huh.”
“If you don’t have anything to poison, please ask.”
Yang Baek-ho burst out laughing.
Yuljeoksan and Gwichang are both possessors of strong mental power who cannot be swayed by wrongful temptations. I know many people who are stronger and more capable than these people, but the reason I brought them with me was because of their healthy spirit.
‘My eyes were right.’
The completed drone is not suitable for this position. Only when they stimulate each other and grow together with their subordinates can they become one. In that respect, the two people were showing Yang Baekho’s ideal image.
“It’s good. “The passion of subordinates is so great, but why would a superior use it only if he ignores it?”
Yang Baek-ho took out three books from the bookshelf.
“You have to take care of your body, so just study for one session after training. “That will be enough, right?”
“thank you.”
Yang Baek-ho looked at Lee Cheon-sang.
“What are you going to do?”
“I will participate starting tomorrow.”
“Good.”
Yuljeoksan grumbled.
“Don’t participate. Please don’t do that. Still, I’m a senior mine, so let’s try to act proud.”
“I still lack a lot of things.”
“know! So, you have to work hard! But that’s because I want you to be a little less handsome than me!”
Yang Baek-ho burst into laughter at that extremely honest remark.
Is it because the environment has changed? Yang Baek-ho was much softer than when I first saw him. Of course, training and time discipline were still like swords.
“Now that we’ve said that, let’s get started right away. And Ilgakju, thank you for your hard work.”
“Take care.”
So three people stayed and one person left the official residence.
It wasn’t that far from the official residence to the corner. Even if the average person jumped, he could barely reach half an angle.
Lee Cheon-sang thought that the appropriate distance was not bad. Because he was able to get his head in order.
‘It’s soft.’
Their mission was simple. It was a surprise attack on a horse trading group, capturing those involved and transporting them to Shingyo.
Homa Sangdan was originally a sangdan that started in the northern part of the central plains. After making a lot of money by distributing horses from the north, they moved down to the south and started a full-fledged business.
But Lee Cheon-sang knew. That their potential is considerable.
To be precise, I knew that the military power possessed by the top was much more powerful than was known to the outside world.
Lee Cheon-sang recalled his adoptive father’s words.
– Although the words are top, in reality, it is no different from the Black Island Bangpa. Although they cannot be compared to the Seven Families of Magic, they are worthy of seeing quite a few small and medium-sized clans. These are people I don’t necessarily want to meet unless I’m involved in official business.
The adoptive father was the owner of the upper level. Since he was the person leading the upper level, all he had to do was stop the transaction without having to discuss official matters.
It was only when he was first transported to the Black Demon Army and came to Shingyo that Lee Cheon-sang realized. What did my adoptive father mean by public service?
He was talking about handing over information to the political faction, Murim.
‘Based on what we have heard so far, it is unlikely that the Homa Sangdan has aligned itself with the political faction. Nevertheless, there is a high probability that arresting them is an internal matter.’
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes turned to the sky.
Many stars each gave off a soft glow as if they were about to pour down.
For a moment, Lee Cheon-sang tilted his head.
‘Is that beautiful?’
I still don’t know how I feel.
Guess why it’s beautiful. But I couldn’t understand it deeply.
‘I still have a long way to go.’
Do-heon said that the revision committee given by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs could solve the problem of the suspension of the war.
But I haven’t felt the effect yet. There was no way that Gongmuwae could have deceived Doheon, so it was clear that his constitution was not normal.
After thinking about this and that, Lee Cheon-sang shook his head.
‘I guess I’ll have to work hard to train my magic skills.’
While thinking about the mission, I saw a star, and while looking at the star, I looked back at myself.
So to speak, it was a random thought. In the past, Lee Cheon-sang would not have wasted time with such leisurely thoughts.
Although he didn’t realize it, he too was changing.
Very finely.
‘The air is nice.’
Lee Cheon-sang reached the front of the building and turned his attention to the vacant lot behind.
The night air was particularly nice. On days like this, I thought it would be better to practice outside rather than in the room.
That was when Lee Cheon-sang went to the vacant lot and was about to sit cross-legged.
‘… … ?’
Lee Cheon-sang looked at the mountain behind him.
It was there that I studied the point-pointing technique for Yeonchi-sang with Heo Pil the other day.
“… … “Living.”
