Episode 522 A small wind creates a typhoon (2)

“What do you think?”

“That’s right. It must have been difficult to find, but I got it right.”

Xiliang looked back at Jincheon and said.

“You had a hard time.”

Jincheon lowered his head.

“no.”

“Take a rest for a few days. Let’s regroup.”

“Church leader.”

“You guys went to Hubuk together and even got into a fight with Dam Sa-yeong. Besides, this isn’t Shinkyo. It’s okay.”

Jincheon lowered his head again.

“If you do, I will do as you say.”

“Draw.”

Jincheon disappeared.

Zhou Qing was surprised.

“I am amazed every day since I came here. A person who was standing still disappears like smoke? Is that also martial arts?”

“It’s martial arts.”

“I feel regretful when I see things like that. I should have learned martial arts instead of martial arts.”

“Awaken from your dream. Even if you search the entire martial arts world, there will be less than a handful of people who can master the Demon Emperor Danju.”

“Is that so? He is indeed worthy of being the leader of the religious leader’s bodyguard.”

Xu Liang seriously pointed to the royal seal.

“Is this correct?”

Zhou Qing nodded.

“I’m sure.”

“What is the possibility that it is a counterfeit product?”

“Absolutely none. No one can make the imperial palace’s royal seal exactly the same. Even these minute scratches clearly match the royal seal.”

Xu Liang took a deep breath.

“Thank goodness. I wonder how hard I went through just to get this.”

Zhou Qing smiled.

“From what I hear, it doesn’t sound like it was all that hard.”

“hmm?”

“I heard that Damsayoung met with that traitor.”

Xu Liang’s eyes lit up.

“Yes, we met.”

“How was it?”

“Why? It was amazing.”

“Was it difficult to deal with you even with your martial arts skills?”

“He has been one of the strongest players in the midfield for decades. He is an opponent that is difficult to beat unless he is my teacher or the deceased King of Political Affairs.”

“Are you talking about a diagnosis?”

“Does it matter?”

“It’s important. I’m curious too. So tell me.”

Seo-ryang said after thinking for a moment.

“In terms of martial arts, I’m Dongsu. No, if I put down my position as a leader for a while and fight for my life… I might be a little ahead. One way or another, it’s probably been a long time since that nobleman fought an equal opponent.”

“So-called practical experience.”

“yes.”

“Is it that important?”

“That’s not necessarily true. For me and those who have reached the level of Dam Sa-yeong, practical experience is not a big problem. Rather, how to release the martial arts skills and experience accumulated so far, that is, creativity or a sense of realizing martial arts, is more important. I guess I can.”

“But?”

“It depends on her personality. Dam Sa-young is a person who has a lot of things. She has stronger pride than anyone else, but if she is in real danger, she will even receive help from a three-year-old child. You can say she is someone who believes in herself but is always aware of her surroundings.”

“It’s different from you, who focuses entirely on yourself.”

“It’s different. So depending on the situation, I could be better or he could be better.”

“I’m glad for some reason. Still, I hear you have a bit of a chance to win.”

“I don’t know what variables will arise in the match. One wrong step on the ground could mean the difference between life and death. Anyway, Dam Sa-young is a difficult opponent. Besides…” “

Hmm?”

Xu Liang frowned.

“The guy at the time was hiding his power. That goes for me as well.”

Damsayoung can use all the seven magic techniques of the Seven Pillars of War.

It was like that from what I heard from Hyuncheon, and it seemed like it was like that when I actually saw it. The energy of the Cheonryong Palace, which was sleeping behind the Heavenly Invincible God, was accompanied by the five elements of the tree, tree, earth, and gold, and the yin and yang energy of the sun and moon.

‘Are you sure. He will be able to use the Celestial Dragon Palace’s studies more flexibly than anyone else.’

What is important for those who have reached that level is not the amount of power, but the sense and awareness of how to use it at the right time.

It is likely that Damsayoung can use the seven techniques more skillfully than the high priests of the Seven Elements.

The variable is right there. The existence of Dam Sa-young, whose skills are comparable to that of Seoryang and who can freely use the Celestial Dragon’s techniques, is literally a disaster.

‘and.’

After the fight with Dam Sa-young, Seo-ryang captured the moment when his energy subtly changed.

But I couldn’t figure out what that moment of change meant. I didn’t even know why I remembered it.

I was just nervous. So I became even more cautious.

An uneasy feeling that cannot be interpreted through logic. Such discomfort was bound to become a decisive defeat in the future.

“No matter what, a rebel is a rebel.”

“That’s right. That’s the important thing.”

Zhu Qing struck the royal seal.

“Still, since we have recovered the royal seal, we have taken care of the cause. I don’t know how the future fight will unfold, but we are one step ahead of them.”

“That’s true.”

“I heard that Sanghyeongseong was missing in this fight.”

“I think I’ll fall in. I’m not sure yet.”

“I don’t think you’re the type of person who says things like that for no reason. If Sanghyeongseong is missing, it’s like leaving a huge gap in our troops. We’re not an opponent to take lightly, but it’s a good thing for us.”

“Thank God. Thank goodness…”

Fight, battle, war.

Clashes are more spectacular when the power level is equal.

The problem is the variable. Since it is impossible to know how this variable will be involved in the game, it is difficult to lead the game as intended even if you prepare a hundred or a thousand times.

‘Large-scale all-out wars rarely happen. However, if an all-out war breaks out…’

Seoliang’s eyes lit up.

‘If I think about it calmly, the odds of winning are less than four percent.’

Do you decide who wins or loses by competing against certain rules?

Then, needless to say, it is a victory for the Heavenly Demon Church. At least Go Soo-jin of the Heavenly Demon Church had the upper hand over his opponent. Moreover, if things don’t work out, you can summon veteran veterans of Shinkyo’s squadron.

In other words, Shingyo’s strength lay in its strong senior class and strong organizational power than any other organization.

However, whether it is advantageous in an all-out war….

‘Absolutely not.’

The importance of the master of Hwagyeong Geukma in the martial arts world is beyond imagination. How dare we even call experts who have reached such a level a one-man army?

However, in a large-scale all-out war where strategies and tactics are rampant, it is difficult to use the power of absolute experts efficiently. In other words, fighting between soldiers becomes the main focus, and if that happens, the Heavenly Demon Church will inevitably be at a disadvantage.

There was one more problem.

‘Imperial palace.’

It is safe to say that the military power of the imperial palace has been reduced more than at any time in history.

Still, the army is the army. Unlike the martial arts, the military’s troops are raised with the assumption of group warfare. This means that no individual is installed alone even if his or her military power is outstanding.

The power of the gathered military forces is ridiculously high for hundreds of martial arts experts. Before Zhou Qing fell, the military force exceeded 50,000. Now, no one knows how much it has increased.

‘Our school’s armed forces have been thoroughly trained to the point of being comparable to the military. But their training is strictly mission-oriented. This means that it is not training assuming war.’

If you want to use it properly, no matter how good you look at it, street fighting is the limit. In the end, any combat unit other than the Heavenly Demon Army must avoid all-out war.

then?

“Still, it would be best to eliminate the enemy’s water mass before an all-out war breaks out.”

Xu Liang looked at Zhou Qing in surprise.

Zhu Qing, who was lost in thought while looking at the royal seal, continued speaking.

“What makes the martial arts military outstanding is that each individual has capabilities that are superior to those of the soldiers in the military. The problem is that due to their superiority, it is difficult to gather them in one place. No matter how they are formed or anything, they are annihilated. “There is bound to be a difference from the military forces, which do not act individually until the moment.”

“…Ohh?”

Xu Liang grinned.

“Have you learned the art of war?”

“What do you think of me? I was elected emperor at the young age of thirteen. In order to survive in a place where I had no one on my side, I had to cram all kinds of knowledge and information into my tiny head.”

“You almost never forget what you learned to survive.”

“It’s just as you said. Everything I learned and learned back then is still vivid in my mind.”

Xu Liang stood up.

“I and the general military will work out this part. I will call you once in a while, so if you are lost, come and help me.”

“How about we work together instead?”

“This fight is the martial arts fight before it is your fight. We will receive help, but we will take the lead. I hope you understand.”

Zhou Qing nodded.

“You’re right. I was in a hurry so I went out for no reason. I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay. Go and get some rest.”

“People really.”

Joo Cheong stood up and spoke as if he had now remembered.

“Do you know that?”

“what?”

“Ju Cheon-yang, that bastard is ignorant of the art of war. But his pride is strong.”

“…?”

“Anyone who has learned and mastered the art of war can devise it. However, the person who has the last laugh is not the one who knows the enemy’s troops, but the one who knows the enemy’s personality.”

“…!”

“I’m saying this because I don’t want you to be too concerned about power.”

Xu Liang smiled.

“It was acceptable advice. Take it to heart.”

Zhu Cheng grinned and left Daejeon.

Xu Liang said calmly.

“They say it’s still good even if it’s rotten, but it’s definitely different. Isn’t that right?”

Sigh.

In the corridor next to Daejeon, Hu Yao-seong popped his head out.

“That’s right, cult leader.”

“But why are you hiding there?”

“I’m afraid that Demon Emperor Danju will cut off my hair.”

“Why are you being so timid all of a sudden? And if you’re going to win it, you already won it.”

“Is that so too?”

Ho Yo-seong smiled sheepishly and opened the door and came out.

Xu Liang’s face became serious.

“I don’t know what it was like for you, but I definitely think I was trying to look at it too objectively.”

“You must look at it objectively. A general who controls tens of thousands of lives should do so.”

“But what the emperor said makes sense. It’s also a method I had fun with against my enemies before.”

“That’s right.”

Hu Yaosheng sat in the same place where Zhou Qing sat.

Xi Liang asked.

“When will we set the timing?”

“What period are you talking about?”

“Why are you pretending not to know again? We’ve declared war, so now we have to make up our minds and confront it. We can’t wait forever.”

“Of course it is. The longer it takes, the more difficult the lives of the civilians become. If possible, it is better to get it resolved quickly.”

“So…”

“But it is better to be cautious than to move hastily and give an excuse for a counterattack while unprepared. In the meantime, we also finish our tasks.”

Xiliang narrowed his eyes.

“to do?”

“yes.”

Hu Yao-seong grinned.

“Saengbyeong, seonseung, then fight.” Don’t they say war is about winning first and then fighting?”

“They’re not fools either.”

“It works because they’re not fools.”

“Huh?”

Hu Yaosheng took out a document from his arms.

Xu Liang’s eyes widened as he read it. .

“Fighting is good, but the question is where to fight. I am not foolish enough to fight in a place where there is no chance of winning.”

“Ho?”

Xu Liang’s eyes sparkled.

“Are you a genius?”

Hu Yaocheng raised his head arrogantly.

“I am the general of the Heavenly Demon Church. Hehehe!”
