Chapter 394 – Siege
Jun was looking down on him.
Damn neutral ideology.
The ancestors and martial arts people, whose brains were pickled by this damn thing, did not feel the seriousness of the situation even after hearing the news of the defeat of the Yongbong branch and the annihilation of the Kunlun faction.
He pretended to be proud and just scoffed at the Shinpung and Kunlun factions, saying they were ugly and the name of the faction was a waste.
Of course, not everyone was like that.
Shinpung, who was forced to change his job by Jun, the Murim lord who witnessed the scene in real time, and the god of the martial world did not let down his guard and prepared for the future.
As Jun predicted, he tried to stop the Yongbong branch and take over the three castles occupied by Elance through siege warfare.
However, progress was very slow.
This is because the ancestors and martial people did not follow instructions well.
Most of the ancestors and martial people were against holding a siege.
The defeat of the Divine Wind and the Kunlun Sect was due to the hexes of barbarians from another world, and even if such hexes worked once, they would not work a second time, so they thought there was no problem in continuing the Dragon Feng branch.
Above all, they did not want to die.
Why take the risk of fighting a siege when you are already enjoying enviable luxury and pleasure?
Anyway, the current martial arts army does not have a separate Tang army for fear that someone might think it is the army of that country.
――――――
“Really? It looks like that, so it’s not a trick from the enemy to throw us off guard?”
“Yes. I also suspected that might be the case, so I checked twice and thrice, but no matter how I looked, the enemies were a ragtag bunch. Although they were preparing for a siege due to orders from above, the will was not there even after washing their eyes and looking for it, and they did not seem to have even the slightest thought that we might launch a siege first.”
“… Okay. Great job. “Just leave now.”
“My name!”
At Jun’s command, Bingma quietly unbuttoned his robes, stood up, and left the conference room.
Immediately after she left the conference room, silence descended from shock and fear for a brief moment.
“Well, that’s right.”
“It’s absurd. Really.”
“A believer does not follow God’s will. How is that possible?”
“When the Shadow Emperor was secretly operating, the imperial army was not at that level.”
Jun, who was the first to escape from shock and fear, opened his mouth, and Nahiru, Franco, and Geomseong followed, coming to their senses and sharing their feelings.
Of course, those feelings were full of shock and fear that could not be resolved.
Still, it was great to be able to say something like that.
The guild leader, Do-seong, Bu-seong, Chang-seong, and the lieutenants who were allowed in from this second meeting were still in shock and fear, with their mouths open in a daze.
Well, it wasn’t that I couldn’t understand his feelings.
I’ve seen armies that fail because the top brass are rotten, but this is probably the first time I’ve seen an army fail because the lower ranks are incompetent.
And in a war where the fate of the world is at stake.
“Hey, Heavenly Demon, I’m sorry to say this… Could it be that the information is wrong?”
Worst of all, would a lieutenant who has no right to speak have the courage to present such an opinion?
It was that ridiculous.
The world may be ruined, but the military doesn’t even know that and ignores orders from superiors.
However, Bingma’s information was absolutely true.
“No, it’s very unlikely.”
Immediately after the first meeting yesterday, Jun ordered King Yeongjo’s team, including Bingma, to monitor the movements of the nearby Murim Castle.
Gathering information about the enemy before attacking them was one of the basics of military strategy, and there was no one more suitable for that task than King Yeongjo, who was a member of the Central Plains like his enemies and was secretive and quick-witted.
In this way, King Yeongjo’s troops, including Bingma, were divided into three groups and dispatched to three nearby Murim side castles. They completed their mission in just one day and returned safely.
‘You may wonder what you can learn in just one day.’
When sending King Yeongjo’s reign, Jun sent along with them the pink bird and phoenix of Dohwa, which were specialized in spatial properties.
Thanks to this, King Yeongjo was able to spend his entire day gathering information without wasting time on movement, reconnaissance, or hiding.
Not only that, but the situation is very messy right now because of the siege that the enemies don’t want to do.
There was little chance that King Yeongjo’s information was wrong.
Match! Mate!
“Everyone, come to your senses. “You’re not going to just let this golden opportunity go by, are you?”
Jun clapped his hands to wake up the members who were still unable to come to their senses.
Although the enemy’s condition was so absurd that I suspected it might be a trap, it was clear that now was a golden opportunity to attack them.
If we missed this opportunity, we had no right to laugh at Moorim.
“I agree.”
“We will begin the attack immediately.”
“Cheonma, the reason you rushed the siege was because you anticipated this possibility…”
“No, it’s just luck. How can you predict such a ridiculous reaction?”
In front of the Sword Saint’s respectful gaze, Jun shook his head.
The reason why Jun rushed the siege was to hit the enemy first before the enemy hit our allies.
And it wasn’t a plan he came up with on his own.
At first glance, it seemed like there was an advantage because of the Yongbong branch, but in fact, our troops were in a very dangerous situation.
Compared to the Murim side, which occupies a total of 17 castles, the number of castles occupied by our army is only 3.
If you get hit first and lose one or more castles…
‘No matter how much I can use my divine power, it will be difficult to turn the situation around.’
Therefore, Jun’s preemptive strike was the last resort that could be made in a hopeless situation.
But who would have thought that such a final move would be reborn as a divine move that would cut off the enemy’s limbs in one fell swoop.
Is it thanks to a lucky angel being by my side?
“Elance can depart at any time.”
“The same goes for the Bright Church.”
“The Imperial Army will be at the forefront.”
“The adventurers are already ready a long time ago.”
After hearing from the adjutants standing behind them that preparations for battle had been completed, the representatives conveyed the information to Jun.
After nodding his head in understanding, Jun stepped out of his seat and declared.
“Good. From now on, our allied forces consisting of Elance, Bright Church, Imperial Army, Adventurers, and Heavenly Demon Church will begin a full-scale siege. The operation will begin at 4 a.M. Tomorrow, and the representatives are instructed to go back and finish the insufficient preparations and then go to bed immediately.”
“”””Yes!””””
With a powerful answer, the representatives left the conference room with their deputy.
――――――
“Haam~.”
“Hey, be on alert. If it breaks through, will you take responsibility?”
In the middle of the night, Chunsam couldn’t overcome his drowsiness and opened his mouth wide and yawned.
His friend, who was standing guard with him, scolded him in keeping with his strict personality, but Chunsam just smiled and ignored it.
“Is it pierced? To whom? “To that guy who never gets tired of going out to rape her?”
“No, you bastard! Is there really anything to die for? “If you want to die, die alone, man!”
Chun-sam’s joke made my friend think and look around.
It seemed like he was worried that the guy who came back after raping her might have accidentally heard the joke.
“Kkkk. Damn, I’m scared. Do not worry. “You know that if he goes out to commit rape, he won’t come back until dawn.”
“But you still don’t know. There are rumors like that going around, so you might be a little cautious.”
“Rumor? Oh, that barbarians from another world might invade? “Do you really believe that ridiculous rumor?”
My friend said nothing.
When I thought about it, it seemed like he really believed the rumor.
“Both Panga and you are so eccentric.”
Panganom, the small family head of Hebei Panjia.
As the owner of a famous small family, he was able to embrace the women of noble families as he pleased, even though they did not know anything about farming.
However, he left the women who begged him to hug them and raped the serfs outside the castle.
Unlike the female servants of noble families, these were serfs who were scorched by the sun and had bad bones due to not being able to eat.
Chun-sam couldn’t understand the taste of that old man at all.
‘Shit! If I were a fan, I would have picked out and hugged women every night.’
But I couldn’t.
Because he was a third-rate warrior who did not even have a special title, let alone the head of the Hebei Peng family.
Chunsam felt depressed and talked loudly to shake off the feeling.
“I hope the rumors are true! If it’s true, you can cut off the heads of barbarians and use that to get ahead…”
Tap!
“Huh? What is this?”
“Hey, don’t touch it. It’s somehow ominous.”
“Oh, let go of this. “Are you still a man?”
While we were talking, something flew out of the castle.
With his curiosity soaring, Chunsam reached out for something despite his friend’s dissuasion.
And what I said to my friend was meaningless…
“Aaaaah!”
I let out a girlish scream.
“Why? Why! “What is that?”
“Los, lose!”
“What!”
“Panga’s head. “It’s the guy’s head!”
Chun-sam shouted, pointing his finger at something, the guy’s head.
But no matter how much I shouted, my friend didn’t respond.
“Hey! “Don’t you hear it?”
It had to be that way, because my friend was not already alive.
When I turned around, I saw an arrow stuck in my friend’s head.
‘What the hell is going on?’
Chunsam held on to his nerves, which seemed ready to break at any moment, and stuck his head out toward the outside of the castle, where the arrows that pierced the head of the guy and his friend’s head were believed to have come from.
Jump and jump
Under the cool, shining moon, a man was approaching the castle gate.
As if the entire area was weighed down by her man’s presence, only the sound of her man’s footsteps echoed in the darkness.
‘I have to ring the bell.’
Instinct sounded the alarm.
He had to move so that the alarm could be heard in real life, but for some reason Chunsam couldn’t move.
All he could do was look straight into the man’s blue eyes, shining brightly in the darkness.
Meanwhile, the man pulled a sword from her waist and swung it in the empty air.
Suddenly!
Although it was clearly empty space, the sound of something being cut could be clearly heard.
What on earth did the man cut?
Chunsam was soon able to answer that question.
Wow!!!
“Da, the moon…”
With the faint sound of someone’s angry scream, the moon that was floating above the man’s head split into two.
