Side Story Episode 69. Dark Campaign (4)
The Yasha Command’s moving speed was neither fast nor slow.
Usually, the faster the expedition and return, the better, but Yang Baek-ho actually controlled his movement speed. It was entirely due to the condition of the yakshas.
The motivation of the yakshas was overheated due to the fact that the opponent was just a top tier. The belief that one could easily deal with someone was an arrogance that could greatly reduce one’s original combat power.
Yang Baek-ho did not give any advice to the yakshas, such as telling them to get their minds right or that they should not be excited. However, he only strictly controlled the marching speed.
His speed control was amazing.
One day I marched so hard that all the joints in my body creaked, and one day I went so leisurely that I wondered if it was okay to do this.
On other days, we chose a flat road and repeated marching and resting at half-hour intervals, and on other days, we crossed rough mountains without resting.
When crossing a mountain or going through a narrow road, they strictly moved around the three major formations, and when crossing a shallow river, they were deliberately made to swim across rather than finding a boat. Maintaining a formation even when swimming was basic.
In other words, the movement itself is filled with training that is like a real battle. However, since the mission was just around the corner, food and water were provided in abundance.
Days of movement, training between moves. Surprisingly, the eyes and prayers of the yakshas who first came to Protestantism were very calm when they reached Fujian.
“You’re still the same.”
Gwi-chang nodded at Yul-jeok-san’s words.
“Ryeongju is a person who went through all kinds of trials in the military and central martial arts world and entered the church. “He is on a different level from other hard-headed demons.”
In addition to his martial arts skills, he also knows how to handle and control his subordinates.
What Yang Baek-ho was not good at after entering Shingyo was flattery and fraud. So he just didn’t see the light, but there was a lot to learn from Yang Baek-ho, a military man.
“how is it?”
Lee Cheon-sang tilted his head in response to Yuljeoksan’s question.
“What do you mean?”
“Isn’t it amazing? “The fighting will of the yakshas was controlled just by marching.”
“well.”
“Hmm?”
Of course, Lee Cheon-sang was also surprised by Yang Baek-ho’s skills.
But what really surprised me was the excitement of the Yaksyas, before Yang Baek-ho adjusted the marching speed.
I was surprised by that loose mindset, and I was also surprised that it was controlled by Yang Baek-ho’s control of the marching speed.
‘If it’s your first mission, it’s normal to be nervous.’
Many people are very nervous when faced with a ‘first’ experience. Of course, some of them have mission experience, but isn’t this their first time as commander?
‘I relaxed because it was an easy opponent, that doesn’t make sense either. ‘This is not children’s play.’
If you decide to hunt no matter how small the animal, thorough preparation and sharp concentration are the basics. You have to think about the characteristics of the beast you are hunting, the terrain, strategies, traps, etc. all day long.
Yeah, that doesn’t make sense.
‘… … ‘I guess it’s a mistake.’
So far, we have analyzed the behavior patterns and personalities of countless people.
If it’s your first mission, it’s natural to be nervous, but if the opponent is a top tier, there may be cases where you become overconfident like these guys. Moreover, weren’t each of them quite strong?
It’s hard to understand, but people often make this mistake.
‘It’s not because I can’t feel emotions.’
Lee Cheon-sang learned to distinguish more closely the difference between himself and others.
‘I just don’t understand because I haven’t lived that life. It has nothing to do with feelings.’
Guichang said.
“Anyway, the spirits of the yakshas have been well calmed, so we are the only ones left.”
“Hmm.”
As if he had been waiting, Yang Baek-ho, who was in the lead, raised his hand.
“stop. “Relax during this time.”
If this is the case, it was quite a long time.
The yakshas immediately sat down to rest. Although they seemed likely to scatter, the way they maintained their formation was quite natural.
Lee Cheon-sang had no choice but to acknowledge Yang Baek-ho’s abilities.
‘It encourages people to change on their own without having to point it out.’
If you learn this, it will be of great help someday.
“Deputies, come here.”
Sigh!
Lee Cheon-sang, who placed the red field in the center of the group, went to Yang Baek-ho. The same was true for Yuljeoksan Mountain and Gwichang.
“Now, it’s Fujian.”
Tension appeared on Yang Baek-ho’s face.
“There is no communication from the military department. Judging by the message I received from the nearby intelligence department, it seems that the Homa Company does not yet know that we are coming.”
“okay.”
Yang Baek-ho looked at Lee Cheon-sang.
“Ilgunju.”
“yes.”
“You said it before. “Homa Sangdan is dangerous.”
“That’s right.”
“You said you have a military power that surpasses that of most sects, right?”
“That’s as far as I remember. However, a lot of time has passed since then, so I don’t know what the current power level is.”
“Hmm.”
“I also heard that information from my adoptive father at the time. “I haven’t seen it with my own eyes, so I don’t know the details of his past history.”
“If what the person who was your adoptive father said is true, then it means that the Homa Sangdan was growing its power without anyone knowing.”
“That’s right.”
“Our school’s influence in the southern part of the central region is absolute. Fujian is a short distance from Guangdong, so if Hu Ma was gathering power without us knowing, that fact alone would not be normal.”
The fact that he could not read it even with the information power of the Heavenly Demon Church means that he is very good at controlling his surroundings. Furthermore, it was highly likely that a strong information network beyond Protestantism was established throughout Fujian. Regardless of actual force, that alone was threatening enough.
“This is something I’ve told you before.”

Yuljeoksan said with a serious face.
“Please request additional power from above just in case.”
“I did it.”
“yes?”
“I did it. “I got the answer that it couldn’t be done.”
“Uh, why… … ?!”
“We don’t know that much. Aren’t all the units at our school busy? “It looks like there are no troops to help us right now.”
That can’t be possible.
It is common sense to keep some of an organization’s power on standby in case of emergency. The Heavenly Demon Church was no different.
Guichang’s eyes sank coldly.
“It smells musty.”
“That’s right.”
“Even though you already knew, did you come this far because you thought of a plan of your own?”
Yang Baek-ho shook his head heavily.
“What I believe in is the results of the training so far, the power of this formation, and you.”
“… … !”
“What other way can there be? You can’t survive if you don’t go on a campaign, right? If you say you will wait until support arrives, that in itself is disobeying orders. “It’s a serious crime.”
“that… … “Yes, but.”
“It seems that the higher-ups, or more precisely the military department, are not giving us proper information. So to speak, they have no intention of supporting us. “But we can’t just suck our fingers and wait, so we have to handle this mission somehow.”
Lee Cheon-sang felt a sense of déjà vu from Yang Baek-ho’s remarks.
‘Right.’
What Yang Baek-ho said was what he said to Yang Geon and Joo Joon-gyo when he was in charge of a special mission before the founding ceremony.
“First of all, there is a way. “It’s not a solution, though.”
“What is that?”
“I’m the one moving.”
“… … yes?”
Yuljeoksan and Gwichang were dumbfounded, but Cheonsang Lee nodded.
Yang Baek-ho smiled and asked.
“Did you understand, Lord Ilgun?”
“I don’t think it’s a bad decision for the unit’s top leader to search enemy territory as an advance guard in a situation where we don’t know what kind of threat there may be.”
Yuljeoksan shook his head.
“It’s not possible. No matter how the situation is like this, the supreme commander moves directly? “If something goes wrong with the commanding lord, our entire unit will collapse.”
For Mine, who is passionate about winning, such remarks can sometimes be rude.
However, Yuljeoksan had no hesitation, and Yang Baekho also knew that there was truth in what he said.
“So I’m thinking of taking one more person with me.”
“yes?!”
“Lord Lee, Yuljeoksan, it’s you.”
Yuljeoksan opened his mouth.
“Um, you mean me?”
“why? “Are you scared?”
“Is that possible? However, there is no need to take me because I am dull… … .”
Although he was against it, Yuljeoksan knew that if Yang Baekho said he would do it in the first place, he had to follow his orders. He also accepted that he, who rarely reverses a decision once he has made it, would ultimately play a leading role.
But taking yourself with you?
“The Third Lord is a spearman. “It’s strong without having to lift a spear, but since the mission is exploration, there’s no reason to risk losing power to join in.”
“That’s true, but isn’t Ilgunju also a martial arts family?”
“Be a martial artist.”
Yang Baek-ho looked at Lee Cheon-sang.
“You’re a martial arts expert, right? now.”
“yes?”
“Excluding me, the person in the headquarters who is most skilled in the art of formation is Ilgunju. “If an unexpected threat comes, you and I will be able to overcome it, but what will we do with so many yakshas?”
“… … !”
“Of course, I don’t think we will lose to any threat. “What’s important is how much damage you can endure.”
Yang Baek-ho’s serious face was reminiscent of a rock so strong that even a needle could not fit through it.
“If the enemy’s military strength is large and their intelligence is excellent, they may already know that we have entered Fujian. “If they are targeting us beyond just keeping an eye on us, we cannot rule out the possibility of launching a surprise attack.”
“In that case, it is even more necessary for the Commanding Lord to play the role of the front line… … .”
“In a situation like that, we can’t just unite and advance.”
Yang Baek-ho looked at Lee Cheon-sang and Guichang.
“The First Lord is well versed in battle tactics, and the Third Lord is an expert with a lot of experience in group warfare. “With the two of us, we will be able to lead the yakshas well in times of crisis.”
There was no room for further refutation. Yuljeoksan eventually nodded obediently.
Yang Baek-ho unfolded the map.
It was a map of Fujian received from superiors. It was a very well-made map, detailed and easy to understand.
“The headquarters of the Homa Sangdan is here. “We have to move secretly, so it will take at least three to five days.”
Yang Baek-ho pointed out a mountain with his index finger.
“As soon as Lord Lee and I depart, move the yakshas here. There’s no need to rush. If something happens along the way, make sure to come out and send someone in the direction where Lord Lee is moving and let them know.”
“All right.”
“I guess you took care of all the smoke-free scents, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Good.”
Yang Baek-ho and Yuljeoksan have completed preparations. Lee’s Baekyakcha division was passed on to Seol I-jeon, the senior leader.
“Then, I’ll contact you again.”
“yes.”
hook!
Yang Baek Tiger and Yuljeok Mountain departed. It was a great new law.
Since I had to move secretly, I also left my warhorse behind. Considering their role as advance guard, the mental fatigue of the two people will be considerable.
Lee Cheon-sang looked at Guichang.
Gui-chang nodded and picked up the Cheongya Tea Bun.
“March.”
Grumble.
Dark Fujian sky.
The wind blowing was unusual.
