Side Story Episode 74. Collision (4)
A battle in which the captain is captured ends in three cases.
The enemy’s surrender, the enemy’s defiance, and the enemy’s suicide.
The Black Tigers chose the second case.
Bub bub bub! Suddenly!
With an eerie sound of destruction, the black tigers fell one after another.
They attacked the Yacha army with their last struggle, but the leader was already captured. Even as he died in such a horrific manner, his morale was at a low point.
In less than half an hour, the remaining black tigers were cleared away.
“Monarch.”
Lee Cheon-sang turned his head.
Heo Pil and his crew brought nine black tigers. Their eyes were filled with fear as their limbs were broken or they were subdued by demonic blood.
It wasn’t a fear of demons. It was a fear for Lee Cheon-sang.
“I captured a few people, just in case. “Except for the leader, they seemed to be the ones leading the group.”
If we had not figured out the enemy’s organizational strength, it would not have been easy to know who the enemy was leading. It was a moment that proved that Heo Pil’s insight was not ordinary.
Lee Cheon-sang looked down at the black tigers with indifferent eyes.
flinch!
The black tigers that made eye contact with Lee Cheon-sang each avoided their eyes. I couldn’t face him directly.
Lee Cheon-sang, who was looking at them calmly, said calmly.
“Promoting work.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“I clearly said to kill them all.”
Creepy!
Those who heard Lee Cheon-sang’s words, regardless of whether they were enemies or enemies, all felt goosebumps running down their backs.
Heo Pil, who was quietly looking at Lee Cheon-sang, lowered his head.
“sorry.”
Heo Pil winked at the team members.
The team members swung their swords.
Puhwaak!
With the sound of flesh trembling, all the black tigers lost their lives.
Lee Cheon-sang said.
“Arrange your battle lines. “After confirming that there are no other rear raiding units, we will stick behind the Third Army.”
“Jonmyeong!”
Each Yaksha tended to their wounds and checked their weapons.
Before we knew it, Juyeongyo had arrived and approached Lee Cheon-sang.
“The Third Lord sent us. Just in case, I sent this soldier to the base as well.”
“Go to Army Lee and order him to join Army Sam again. Commander Joo is also attached to the Third Army along with Lee Army.”
“yes!”
Juyeongyo, who hesitated for a moment as if he had something to say, led the group and moved again.
Ugh.
Lee Cheon-sang pulled up the Geumgang Yacha horsemanship.
‘It doesn’t affect my senses.’
I read the signs of those who had been hiding far away.
It was a sensitivity that was almost impossible for the current Lee Cheon-sang to possess. However, he realized that a ray of energy was radiating from him.
Lee Cheon-sang looked at himself calmly. He also thought it was strange that he could notice the presence of hidden masters from such a distance.
‘Geumgang Yacha Magic Gong has stably settled in Chilseong. It’s definitely a high level, but that alone doesn’t explain it.’
Although the achievement is seven-star, it is not strange to say that the quality of the demonic energy it contains is a true energy that has reached eight-star. The density of demon energy is higher than what has been achieved.
A high quality of energy means that the level achieved as a martial artist is high. However, the fact that Magong did not reach the eight castles means that something was wrong between Lee Cheon-sang and Magong.
In other words, your senses may be jagged.
‘If you climb the Eight Castle, you will be able to read this much of a sign.’
I can not know. No matter how brilliant Lee Cheon-sang’s brain is, it is difficult to infer what can be achieved in a state that has not yet been reached.
Lee Cheon-sang gave up his worries.
‘It’s not a problem that can be solved right now. First of all, I have to move considering that my senses are within the boundaries of the Seven Stars.’
It was then.
“Monarch.”
Danliu, the leader of the three, approached.
“Speak.”
“Maintenance is over. “The entire team is ready to move immediately.”
“i get it.”
“and… … .”
Danliu hesitated.
“The dead yakshas… … What should I do?”
Lee Cheon-sang looked at the bodies gathered next to him.
Danliu continued speaking in a slightly subdued voice.
“If there is still time, how about burying him and leaving?”
It was a cautious suggestion.
Lee Cheon-sang’s work was very quick and reasonable. However, it was also cold and dry.
The appearance of such a leader aroused the respect of the yakshas and at the same time established an authority that could not be surpassed.
A leader of outstanding ability and someone you can trust and follow. This was his position, which Lee Cheon-sang had proven himself, from the time of the formation training until now when he counterattacked the rear surprise unit.

That was why Danliu asked very carefully.
Lee Cheon-sang, who was thinking about something for a moment, said.
“Take off all your clothes and belongings.”
“yes?”
“… … .”
“Oh, yes!”
The yakshas collected the clothes and belongings of their dead comrades.
Lee Cheon-sang looked ahead.
Burning forest. Except for this place, everywhere was a sea of fire.
“Burn it.”
The Yashas flinched.
Lee Cheon-sang, who gave the order and was about to take the lead, suddenly thought about ‘trust’.
It was he who told Heo Pil, who was impressed by the speed of the three armies’ movement, the importance of trust. It may not have been his words, but Lee Cheon-sang, who had learned and accepted a lot, could not be considered the same as before.
Lee Cheon-sang said calmly.
“We will all die and go to the fire.”
By the fire.
The Cheonma (天魔), a symbol of Protestantism and a god itself, is said to be a being that brings lightning from heaven and causes apocalypse in hell.
Therefore, the demonic people were particularly friendly with fire. They are not stingy with cremation compared to other regions.
“If I die in battle, do your job and don’t look back. But if you have enough time, burn me too.”
“… … .”
“I will also pick you up and send you to the world of desire first. “That is the best funeral we can provide during our mission.”
There was solemnity on the faces of the yakshas.
Danliu bowed his head.
“I accept your orders.”
The yakshas threw their dead comrades into the burning flames.
As if they were excited about the delicious prey, streams of fire flowed and covered the body.
It was when Lee Cheon-sang took his gaze away from the flames that were growing in size at an alarming rate and was about to open his mouth.
flinch!
At that moment, I felt an unexplainable pain in a corner of my chest.
The body did not complain of pain, so I did not know why it recognized it as pain.
Lee Cheon-sang stroked his chest for a moment and spoke in an indifferent voice.
“Going through the fire. “Be careful not to get swept away.”
Wow!
He, holding the red yakshabun, leaped forward, and the loyal yakshas chased after him.
* * *
Paang!
The ghost’s eyes lit up at the smoke that rose from the base.
‘He’s coming this way.’
If the enemy’s strength was too strong to handle and they were retreating, this army would have moved further back from the base.
‘Meaning that it has been resolved.’
I don’t know if I defeated the enemy or just chased him away. However, sticking this way means that the situation on the other side has been resolved well.
I had to believe that and go. That’s what combat is like.
Gwi-chang heard the Cheongya Tea Bun.
“Pick up the speed.”
Faaagh!
As Gwi-chang climbed through the thick forest, he saw one and three groups waiting in the distance.
Pabababak!
All three armies vigorously performed the divine law. Seeing that our allies were safe, there was no need to be careful anymore.
After a while.
“Monarch.”
Yang Geon bowed his head.
Guichang asked.
“What is the situation?”
“No matter how you look at it, it seems like a decoy from the enemy.”
“Explain the situation before giving results.”
Yang Geon briefly and concisely explained what they had experienced.
Guichang nodded.
“I guess they were trying to target us with a surprise attack from behind.”
“As expected, it was like that.”
“hmm?”
Guichang looked at Yang Geon with strange eyes.
As if not noticing the gaze, Yang Geon muttered to himself.
“The hit and run was so strange. It feels like she lacks seriousness to say she laid a trap in front of her… … “If they had intended to thoroughly target us, they would have dealt with us much more dynamically.”
“What does that mean?”
“yes?”
Yang Geon said in surprise.
“I thought they were laying a trap ahead. But it was too awkward for that. “If it was a real ship, one or two skirmishes should have occurred.”
“… … ?”
“Their actions were enough to put us on notice. “I thought it would be better to tie it up here rather than drag it, so to speak.”
There was a look of surprise on Gwi-chang’s face that could not be hidden.
‘Look at this guy?’
I knew he had good sense and quick sense. Was this guy sent to the advance guard for no reason?
However, it is never easy to look at the enemy’s response and think beyond one move ahead and two moves ahead. Even if you have experience, it is difficult.
“Yang Geon, the leader of the work.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“For this battle, you will temporarily serve as the senior leader.”
Yang Geon was surprised.
“Well, me?”
“I will not allow any counter-examination. If I ever have a problem, I’ll let you lead them. Do you understand?”
“I follow your orders.”
Even though he bowed his head and answered, he seemed to be in a daze.
Guichang thought.
‘I don’t really know the team members yet.’
I couldn’t figure out every single ability. The same goes for Yang Geon. That’s why the condition of ‘temporary’ was added.
If he showed a more impressive performance in this mission, he could be officially appointed as the senior team leader.
Gwi-chang gave instructions to the yakshas.
“Please wait until Group I and Group Lee arrive. You never know when a battle might break out, so stay in line and rest. “Don’t relax.”
How much time has passed like that?
Flap!
The sound of the flag waving in the wind seemed to particularly ring in my ears.
“Are you here?”
Finally, I and Lee arrived.
Guichang asked.
“What is the situation?”
“We engaged a rear raiding force of up to 100 people.”
“As expected. result?”
“It was destroyed.”
Guichang nodded vigorously.
“You worked hard. “Can’t I get some more rest?”
“I’m on a mission.”
It means that you fight when you have to, even when it feels like you’re going to die.
Gwi-chang, who was about to continue speaking with a slight smile, suddenly turned to look at the group of workers.
‘… … .’
Considering the total number, only a very small portion has fallen off. However, Gwi-chang, who always trained together, was able to figure out that there were deaths in the group just by looking at them.
Guichang looked at Lee Cheon-sang and asked.
“Are you okay?”
“What do you mean?”
An indifferent expression and voice.
Guichang, who had been looking at him, turned his head and said.
“They say there is an enemy ahead. “It doesn’t look like they set a trap.”
“It seems like their plan is to hit us in the back and tie us up here.”
“As expected, you’re smart.”
“What will you do?”
Guichang, lost in thought for a moment, asked as if asking a question.
“Wouldn’t flat land be better?”
“Of course.”
“We will march in the same direction that the Commanding Lord and Lord Lee are heading. According to the map, there is a plain here. “I think we can wait here.”
“Let’s just march there.”
“Good.”
In this way, the Yasha Commandery marched as one.
They felt a strong tension that they had never felt before, and felt that they had finally reached the right place.
The headquarters marched in the following order: First Army, Second Army, and Third Army.
It was only after half a day of marching that we realized something unusual had occurred.
“All troops stop.”
Lee Cheon-sang stopped the yakshas while holding the red yakshabun.
His eyes were shining particularly bright blue as he looked at the canyon in the distance.
After a while, Guichang came to his side.
“What’s going on?”
“Live.”
Guichang’s eyes, which amplified his senses, became sharp in an instant.
“Right.”
“But there is a problem.”
“problem?”
“The smokeless scent has been cut off.”
“… … !!”
Guichang’s eyes wavered.
“… … “Commander.”
Lee Cheon-sang said indifferently.
“I think we need to decide whether to go through or wait here.”
