Side Story Episode 68. Dark Campaign (3)
Slurp.
Lee Cheon-sang, who changed into a neat uniform, was very dedicated.
An indifferent face, the five senses are clear. The adjutant uniform worn on his large-boned body harmonized well with the incomprehensible sense of intimidation he exuded.
“… … .”
Lee Cheon-sang looked down at his hands for a moment and repeatedly clenched and unclenched his fists several times.
‘I don’t know yet.’
It’s been a few days since the incident happened, but even now, I still can’t figure out why my demon energy grew so explosively.
Just the other day, as soon as training was over, I was concentrating on the ball and analyzing the ball structure all day long. However, the reason for the explosive increase in internal strength could not be found anywhere in the structure. The same was true for Woongong.
‘It’s one of two things. Either there is a hidden meaning in the magic trick that I don’t know about, or something unrelated to the magic trick happened to me.’
Lee Cheon-sang thought it was most likely the latter.
It was not because I thought I had perfectly interpreted the teachings and teachings of Geumgang Yacha Magicong. The more you know about martial arts and the teachings, the more you grow, and some of the things you understand now will change.
However, the reason he thought it was highly likely that it was the latter was because of Yang Baek-ho’s remarks.
– I asked him if he was angry when he saw his friend being treated unfairly.
To that question, Lee Cheon-sang could not answer. This was because he could not clearly observe his condition.
But why do Yang Baek-ho’s words become more meaningful as time passes?
‘Anger is anger. If I was really angry and my demonic energy was activated due to anger… … .’
Lee Cheon-sang, who was thinking deeply, closed his eyes.
‘I don’t know either.’
The quality and quantity of demon energy grows so explosively just because you are angry?
If so, the Heavenly Demon Church would have already ruled the world. The demons of Shingyo are all emotional and do not even try to control their overflowing desire to win.
If a powerful explosion of emotion is a sign of demonic growth, then most of the demons of Shingyo would have acquired the level of military power of a great general.
‘It is meaningless to hold on to something that cannot be interpreted.’
In the first place, now was not the time to worry about such things.
‘However, if the truth is that I grew angry and became a demon and lost my memory in the process, then that is a problem.’
It is a problem for the individual, but it is also a problem for the deputy commander of Yaksha Command.
Normally, you wouldn’t know it, but you shouldn’t fall into that same state even during actual missions.
“Adjutant, everyone is gathered.”
The voice of senior leader Heo Pil was heard from outside the door.
This is a lieutenant, not a head of state. It was a different name and a different voice than usual.
Lee Cheon-sang put several neatly unfolded memorabilia inside the long cloth, and attached one red-colored pauldron to his left shoulder and tied it tightly.
Immediately, the puffy sleeves were tied on the forearms using red, tough fabric. Long and thick forearms that were strongly trained drew elegant lines.
Grumble.
As he opened the door and went out, Heo Pil sternly grabbed him.
“See you, Adjutant.”
At the same time, about 150 yakshas knelt down on one knee.
“See you, Adjutant!”
Lee Cheon-sang opened his mouth.
“Get up.”
Like everything!
Has the training so far been fruitful?
At one word from Lee Cheon-sang, the yakshas all stood up. The movements were flawless, as if they were one body.
Yashas also wore red pauldrons on their left shoulders. However, there was no red letter written on Lee Cheon-sang’s back that read Yasha (夜叉) on their backs.
Red pauldrons, and red letters.
It was the unit’s color.
One corner is red, the second corner is white, and the triangle is blue.
Lee Cheon-sang extended his hand to Heo Pil.
Heo Pil immediately motioned to Il Jo-won.
Flap!
Lee Cheon-sang, who was handed an eight-foot-long flagpole by Heo Pil, lightly shook his wrist, and the drooping flag spread wide.
The black flag, which was nearly a day wide, had the image of a ghost with its outwardly curved fangs painted in red dye.
‘It’s light.’
This flagpole, which has fine elasticity and strength stronger than steel, was originally made with long spears in mind.
Of course it had to be heavy. Additionally, the wide flag, which is not too thick but not too thin, is fluttering in the wind, so it would be difficult for an ordinary person to keep their balance.
But Lee Cheon-sang felt light.
Even before Geumgang Yacha Magick reached Chilseong, it was not heavy, but I thought it would be difficult to handle properly.
Not anymore.
With the achievement of Geumgang Yacha Demonic Technique, the magical energy filling the Danjeon has increased several times compared to before. The qualitative improvement is also great, so if you look at the concentration alone, it is not surprising to say that it is the energy of a magician who has reached the eight-star level.
A stronger power.
And this is the position where you must freely swing this flagpole.
Lee Cheon-sang stamped the red yaksha flag, the red yaksha band, on the ground.
thud!
The weight of the yaksha’s belt shaking the ground was clearly conveyed to the yakshas.
“Did everyone understand the outline of the operation?”
“yes!”
The loud reply of the yakshas.
The voice was a mixture of slight tension, strong excitement, subtle worry, and sharp anticipation.
Lee Cheon-sang nodded.

“let’s go.”
There is no need for long words.
Lee Cheon-sang’s back, standing in the lead and waving the flag with the words, “Let’s go,” looked as hard as steel.
Heo Pil raised his hand.
“Follow the adjutant!”
“Jonmyeong!”
With a loud voice, each team leader led the team members into three or ten columns and followed Lee Cheon-sang.
The yakshas follow Lee Cheon-sang with precise steps that are not hurried but not slow.
‘It looks like a sword.’
Heo Pil inwardly clicked his tongue.
He was the one who entered the Yaksha headquarters and trained with them all. It was a completely different fighting style than the one he had learned at the Ho Court, so he also had no time.
But now, after looking at the yakshas who have some level of familiarity with the training methods, I can see how great the training methods taught by Yang Baek-ho are.
Each yaksha maintains a certain distance at exactly the right moment and with precise steps, as if knitted together.
I didn’t force myself to align with Oh and Ten. It was happening on its own without me being conscious of it.
The amount of training was not only the amount of training, but it was also because each individual perfectly understood and mastered Gunrangjin.
‘It’s like an elite unit of the central army that has been trained for a long time.’
Ceremonial training is both the easiest and the most difficult training. It will be especially difficult training for horsemen. Nevertheless, the movements of the yakshas who had only recently undergone training were perfect.
‘and.’
Heo Pil looked at Lee Cheon-sang’s back.
It was said that Jo Won and Lee Cheon-sang of the triangle were at the center of the incident that occurred a few days ago.
Yang Baek-ho conveyed the cause, progress, and results of the incident without adding or subtracting. And he announced that if something similar to this happens in the future, he will punish him with death, regardless of his position, age, or affiliation.
Because it was quite a shocking incident, the yakshas were also very alert. Moreover, since the perpetrator of the incident was said to have been summarily executed by Ilgakju Lee Cheon-sang, some yakshas had no choice but to be afraid of Lee Cheon-sang.
But there was no blind fear in that fear.
The unique atmosphere and powerful demonic energy that Lee Cheon-sang created was not the type of thing that oppresses and oppresses people.
Transparent and heavy.
They do not open their mouths unless necessary, and they never touch the yakshas unless it is against the rules.
It’s hard to see him as humane, but at least he seemed to have enough to trust and follow. It was difficult to see a demon with this kind of character in this small but big world called the Heavenly Demon Church.
Arms that have become surprisingly strong in a short period of time, an indifferent and simple personality, and the insight and judgment to clearly see right from wrong.
All of these factors made it difficult for the yakshas to follow the two heavenly images, and at the same time made it possible for them to follow them.
‘It’s completely different.’
When I first saw Lee Cheon-sang, I thought it would be one of the common mines with only a slightly unique aspect.
But no.
Lee Cheon-sang grew faster and clearer than anyone else and became the leader of Acha Command. He had a strange, unsympathetic, doll-like personality, but when he became a superior, he couldn’t be so trustworthy.
Heo Pil felt strangely bitter.
‘No. I just felt that things had changed, but that guy didn’t change.’
In the end, it was I who misread the person.
I was frustrated with the reality that I came to the headquarters as if I was being kicked out. He implicitly thought that he was different from the yakshas who came here.
Wrong.
Instead of lamenting over my situation, I should have struggled to become stronger.
Heo Pil could not do that, and Lee Cheon-sang did not waste a single moment.
It is not simply his involvement in various incidents, but his blind effort and desire for improvement that made him what he is today.
‘Master, if he sees me now, he will click his tongue.’
Heo Pil slapped my cheek with both hands.
‘I am also a member of the command team. Let’s come to our senses from now on.’
Para la la rock!
The red yaksha danced splendidly in the blowing wind.
A group led by Lee Cheon-sang entered the front gate of the headquarters. Then, Yuljeoksan and Igak holding white night tea buns (white night tea buns) and Gwichang and Samgak holding blue night tea buns (blue night tea buns) appeared on both left and right sides.
The three flags of red, white, and blue.
In front of him, there was Yang Baekho.
“Is everyone ready?”
“Jonmyeong!”
The short, deep voices of the yakshas shaking the cold early morning air were quite trustworthy.
Yang Baek-ho was riding a huge war horse. A large greatsword was strapped to his back, but it didn’t match his appearance that well.
“Deputies, get on your horses.”
Lee Cheon-sang, Yuljeoksan, and Gwi-chang rode on warhorses. They were experienced horses that were comparable to the warhorses that Yang Baekho rode.
Yang Baek-ho continued.
“From now on, each group will be referred to as the Ilgun (一軍) or the Red Banner Army (red flag corps). The two arms are called two armies, or the white flag army, and the three armies are called the three armies, or the blue flag army.”
“yes!”
“Our mission is simple. The goal is to subdue the leaders of Fujian Huma and transfer them to the main school. “In the meantime, if there are people who attack us or cause the leaders to escape, we will respond with unconditional killing.”
It doesn’t matter who the opponent is. This means that there will be no distinction between men and women, or between old and young. The very act of blocking the army dispatched from the Demonic Murim headquarters is unforgivable.
That was what Yang Baek-ho meant, and the yakshas also understood what he said.
“Jonmyeong!”
“good.”
Slurp!
Indeed, the blade of the great sword that had escaped from the sword armor for the first time in a long time shined brightly.
Yang Baek-ho aimed his great sword at the front door.
“The whole army marches.”
Kugugoogung!
The main gate of the headquarters, reminiscent of a castle gate, opens.
Five hundred yakshas waving ominous tri-colored flags came out of Shingyo.
* * *
“Damn it!”
It was a harsh sound uncharacteristic of Doheon.
“Is that true?”
“I can’t be sure. However, since the information was obtained from the military department, there may be some possibility.”
“We need to contact command right now!”
“that… … “It’s not our responsibility.”
“But isn’t their mere presence in the South a great threat? Not just for the headquarters, but also for the school… … !”
“Doesn’t the fact that they know about it mean that they have already made preparations or are keeping an eye on it?”
“… … !!”
“Damn, I felt uncomfortable for some reason. It’s been so long I can’t remember, me too. “If I had just remembered it at the right time, there wouldn’t have been a need to check.”
Sogong sighed.
“Shaolin… … Damn it.”
