Episode 535 The Toothless Lion’s Remorse (3)
“Master.”
“huh?”
“Can I ask you one thing?”
“What again? ask.”
Ma Dong-pil’s face showed honest curiosity.
“When do you plan to leave?”
Xu Liang smiled.
“If I get a call from the general military.”
Ten days have passed since I met Hwanya.
However, so far, Seo-ryang and Ma Dong-pil, as well as Hwan-ya and the swordsmen under them, have not deviated from base running.
It was entirely because of Seo-ryang. He told Hwanya to wait and advised her to take her time.
Of course, Hwanya wanted to head to Sanghyeolseong Fortress right away. He wanted to go and sweep away those in power with the power of the Heavenly Demon and ascend to power as soon as possible.
Seo-ryang comforted Hwan-ya day by day.
Fortunately, according to Seo-ryang’s words, Hwan-ya died a terrible death. Now he regarded Seo-ryang as if he were a half-brother.
To be honest, Ma Dong-pil didn’t like that.
This may be because the leader has his own thoughts. However, the act of Hwanya being friendly to the religious leader was itself a distortion of judgment.
It was because I didn’t think it suited the class. Perhaps the opponent was the Iron Blood Lord, but the upper and middle battles were broken, and the half-baby warrior, who was extremely unstable, was even rude to the sect leader from time to time.
If it weren’t for the leader’s orders, I would have blown off the guy’s head right now.
Xiliang looked out the window.
Hwanya, who was sitting cross-legged on the bare floor in the back garden of Julu, was looking at Poyang Lake with a grin. I wonder if he is imagining himself sitting on the throne and commanding the world.
“Originally, the Commander-in-Chief should have been contacted five days ago. “But I still haven’t heard from you.”
“….”
“Do you understand what this means?”
Ma Dong-pil, who thought for a moment, opened his mouth.
“I think it’s one of two things.”
“say it.”
“To be a little more careful…”
“And?”
Ma Dong-pil’s eyes sparkled.
“I guess the leader is planning to prepare something more for you on your way.”
Xu Liang nodded.
“Considering your resourcefulness so far, it has to be the latter, right?”
“That’s right.”
“The general military knows. Dongpil, I’m not heading to Sanghyeolseong Fortress with you alone. “Right now, the Hocheon Demon Emperor is guarding me around here.”
The Hocheon Demon Emperor’s Order secretly follows its leader at any time and in an out-of-sight place.
Their stealth skills could be considered the best in the world, so even Ma Dong-pil could not sense their presence unless he was extremely focused.
In other words, if even the extreme demon expert does not know that someone ‘exists’, the probability of recognizing the existence of the Hocheon Demon Emperor is extremely low.
“So to speak, my safety is already guaranteed. In that case, the general military is thinking of providing strong support for me as I attack the Iron Blood Fortress, right?”
“I guess so.”
“The preparations are probably over. Because he’s so smart. However, the fact that time is being delayed…”
Seoryang’s eyes deepened.
“It means you are investigating something that you need to be sure about and move on to.”
“Are you sure?”
“lets think. I followed Hwanya into Sanghyeolseong Fortress. There won’t be any problems as far as the outer castle. But what should I do if I enter the inner palace and a master of similar rank appears?”
“…!”
“I guess that’s exactly what the general military wants to check.”
“Haomun…!”
Xu Liang laughed loudly.
“You are slowly going crazy too. It might not be easy to think that far. “It means that Dongpil has learned that you too can view political strife like a chessboard or a checkerboard.”
Ma Dong-pil smiled a small smile.
“You can’t see that far without going crazy?”
“Of course. It is a tactic that attempts to destroy the opposing organization based on people’s desires and information, not a spear knife. “Normally, you can’t foresee each move without going crazy.”
Xiliang looked up at the sky.
The blue sky was very beautiful without a single cloud.
“…Now I want to escape from this world full of madness.”
After half an hour.
“Master.”
“okay.”
grasp!
Ma Dong-pil ran out of the bases and met the masked Mine.
“Meet the guard.”
“Did you bring the letter?”
“That’s right.”
“You worked hard.”
Ma Dong-pil, who returned to the base again, could already see Seoryang on top of the king and the warriors of the Iron Blood Castle lined up.
“Master. “A letter has arrived.”
“see.”
Seo-ryang’s eyes sparkled as he opened the letter.
‘As expected, Hao Mun.’
The letter contained detailed information about the absence and condition of the castle lord within Sanghyeolseong Fortress.
‘The Iron Blood Castle soldiers suffered?’
Xi Liang saw Huan Ya.
Hwanya grinned.
“Is there something on my face?”
It’s full of crazy desires.
Xu Liang smiled.
“You had a hard time waiting. Now shall we go and have you sit in the royal palace?”
“ha ha ha! Good!”
“Let’s go.”
So, Seo-ryang and Hwan-ya headed to Cheolhyeolseong.
Seoryang thought as he rode away on the Tiger King.
‘Are you going to force the Demon King and Binggungju, who were heading to Sacheon, to move south?’
The letter contained not only the current situation of Cheolhyeolseong, but also the strategy of Hoyaoseong to support Xiliang.
‘Chew it up and down and mash it? ‘Very good.’
Can you break down the north gate of Iron Blood Castle with Yeogeukdo and Demon King Spirit?
Of course it is possible. However, because there are so many troops, further infiltration is impossible. In order to infiltrate Iron Blood Castle by force, at least the Heavenly Demon Army must be there.
In other words, the job of Yeogeukdo and Demon King Spirit is not to attack Iron Blood Fortress.
‘It’s about shaking things up. ‘It’s about loosening the tightly bound connections of Sapa’s miscreants.’
Seo-ryang smiled inwardly.
‘It will be easier to destroy.’
The speed of the group moving north was fast.
As if he wanted to reach it as quickly as possible, Hwanya’s divine method was fast enough to rival that of an extreme demon master. Even though the inspectors under his command were gradually falling behind, he did not care.
The only people who could match that speed were Seoryang and King Ma Dong-pil.
Five days passed like that.
In just five days, the party was able to enter Gangseo and reach the outskirts of Sanghyeolseong Fortress. It was literally lightning fast.
“Huh. Huh.”
“Is it very difficult?”
“It’s okay.”
Although Hwanya continued to breathe heavily, her expression was bright. My heart was beating twice as fast as I saw the sight of Iron Blood Castle in the distance.
Xi Liang got off the king and patted him on the back.
“Good job.”
Crumble.
The King of Tigers also would not have been able to run this fast and for such a long time without the injection of Guyu Demon Energy. King Tiger immediately fell down on the spot and stuck out his tongue.
Geumho, who was in Seoliang’s arms, slowly lifted his head and looked at King Tiger.
Ugh.
As the pink glow appeared in Geumho’s eyes, the king’s breathing gradually became more stable.
Seoliang said after scratching Geumho’s chin.
“I guess I can figure it out by reading the basics, but wouldn’t it be better to at least give me a list of people who need to be eliminated?”
“It’s okay. “You just have to come into my residence with me.”
“Where are you living?”
On the contrary, Hwanya spoke with a puzzled look on his face.
“Isn’t that obvious?”
Xu Liang was inwardly astonished.
‘I knew it, but… this guy’s opening scene is really over.’
The idea of bringing a Demon Cult leader into Iron Blood Fortress was beyond common sense, but he even went so far as to let them into his own residence. It meant that he was not careful about himself at all.
‘Song Seongju. ‘Shouldn’t I have managed my students better?’
This was Zheng Zhengbaek’s fault before Hwanya’s fault. It could be seen that Song Sang-baek’s indifference in not checking the condition of his disciple who was going crazy led to the current situation.
“Okay then let’s do it.”
Xiliang looked back.
All of Lee Baek’s swordsmen were out of breath. Most of them suffered internal injuries due to excessive consumption of internal energy.
“You there.”
A puzzlement appeared in the eyes of the swordsman standing at the edge.
“You’re about the same size as me. “Take off the clothes you are wearing.”
The swordsman looked at Hwanya in confusion.
Life flashed in Hwanya’s eyes.
“What are you doing? “Can’t you move right now?!”
“Oh yeah!”
The inspector hurriedly took off his outerwear and underwear. Seo-ryang leisurely changed into his clothes.
Hwanya asked.
“We’ve changed our clothes, so it’s not difficult to pass as long as we move together while keeping our spirits up. But shouldn’t you cover your face?”
Xu Liang smiled coldly.
“do not worry. “I will take care of myself.”
His tone of voice was a little rougher than before he came here. When he saw Iron Blood Castle, his heart also began to heat up.
However, Hwanya did not notice the change in Seoliang. This was because all the attention was focused on Sanghyeolseong.
In a way, it was a concentration that was truly admirable.
“Dongpil is with King Tiger.”
“All right.”
Ma Dong-pil did not feel anxious even after sending the religious leader to an enemy territory. Since the Tiger Demon Emperor was guarding him, he was quite used to this kind of thing by now.
“Okay then, let’s go.”
So, Hwanya, Night Swordsman, and Seoryang, who were with them, headed to Cheolhyeolseong Fortress.
Hwanya said after reaching the outer castle of Iron Blood Fortress.
“This is Soseongju Hwanya. “Open the door.”
“I follow your orders.”
There is no particular rite of passage. It was unclear whether the position of Lord of Soseong had authority or whether the organization of Iron Blood Castle was loose.
Kugugoogung!
The gate to the outer castle opened and they all entered the Iron Blood Fortress.
Seolyang looked around curiously.
‘That’s amazing.’
Seoryang, who entered the Iron Blood Fortress using an absurd method, was inwardly surprised by the atmosphere of the outer castle.
‘It’s well maintained. ‘You could almost call it a village.’
Unlike the Heavenly Demon Church or the Uicheon Alliance, there were actually a lot of civilians living in the outer castle area of Sanghyeolseong Fortress.
They were people who received the protection of the Iron Blood Castle and at the same time took on the tasks that warriors could not handle. There were countless people laughing and talking and selling things, as if they were actually walking down the street.
‘This isn’t bad either.’
Although it is smaller than Cheonma Shingyo or Uicheonmaeng, it is no different from a small country. All of these people are the same as the people of the Sanghyeolseong Lord’s money.
Xiliang’s eyes deepened.
‘perhaps.’
It seemed like he could understand why Song Sang-baek was so passive towards the whole world like himself and Dam Sa-yeong.
He already has his own country. It was almost believable that it was a miniature version of the world.
‘on the other side.’
The group headed to the entrance of the castle.
“This is Soseongju Hwanya.”
“Please show me your name plate.”
As if Hwanya was familiar, he took out a golden card with three red dragons engraved on it from his pocket.
“Please focus your energy there.”
“joy!”
Hwanya snorted once, as if she didn’t like the gatekeeper’s stiff attitude.
Wooooow.
As Hwanya’s bloodless monster dragon attack began, the name plate gradually turned white.
“Is it done now?”
“I meet Lord Xiaoseong.”
Kugugoogung!
Just like that, the inner city gate was opened.
Seoryang’s eyes sparkled as he stood in the middle of the field swordsman.
Phew.
It seems that the reigning Demon Emperor Qi and Gu Yu Demon Gong have become transparent.
He was a man who had maximizing his entire body’s magical energy to its limit. Thanks to this, it became difficult for anyone to think it was a prayer.
‘Is this the beginning?’
Hwanya and the night swordsmen entered the inner room.
It was then.
“Soseongju!!”
Hwanya turned her head towards the sound.
There, six or seven veteran soldiers were approaching with scary faces.
Hwanya’s lips twitched.
“…Chief Elder.”
