Chapter 398 – Siege
“Sandwich?”
“Ah, it’s another word for a two-faced attack. First, take a look at this.”
After stroking the head of Iris, who tilted her head cutely, Jun took out a map from his pocket and unfolded it.
“It’s a map of the labyrinth and martial arts. That also reflects the current situation.”
“That’s right. And as you can see, the mark painted in red is the castle we occupy, and the mark painted in blue is the castle occupied by Moorim.”
“Looking at it this way, the castle that was taken over by robbing an empty house looks very precarious. “It’s surrounded by enemies, so it looks like it’ll be taken over any time soon.”
“That’s right. So, in order to avoid that, I tried to capture the last castle, the main base of the martial arts army.”
Jun pointed his finger at the blue mark in the far left center.
Naturally, it was on the outskirts, but there was nothing behind the mark and there was only another castle in front.
“Certainly that castle would have been easier to defend than the one we actually occupied. Just like you said, you won’t be sandwiched.”
“There is a reason for that, and since that castle is the headquarters of the martial arts, I thought it would not be easy to capture it unless the martial arts power was at the forefront, so I targeted it…”
Jun shook her head, recalling the time when she headed to the martial arts headquarters.
I expected that the security would be extremely high since it was the main base, but even so, the security at the martial arts base was so tight that it almost sounded absurd.
The security was so strict that even Jun, who wields divine power, space, and the power of nihilism, could not dare to attack.
“It seems like the martial arts gods were somehow trying to kill time. When I looked at it, it seemed like the power was still there.”
“Well, it’s possible because it’s the main base. But if the main base is taken away, you can no longer come over to the labyrinth?”
“No, that’s not it.”
Entry into the labyrinth-Murim was only possible at the main camp at both ends.
It was impossible to enter or exit the labyrinth through another castle.
However, when the main camp falls into the hands of the enemy.
At that time, according to the will of the behind-the-scenes god, one of the castles occupied by the allies will be promoted to the main base, and through the new base, one will be able to enter and exit the labyrinth.
“This is what I told you during the last meeting, so why don’t you know? “Were you sleepy at that time?”
“Oh, I couldn’t help it! I was tired because there was so much work! And I wasn’t the only one who dozed off! Even Por and Diana fell asleep!”
“Leaving aside Por, what about Diana? Diana was standing behind me at that time…”
Flinch!
“… Did you really fall asleep standing up?”
When I asked this question, Diana’s body trembled again as if she had hit the nail on the head.
Soon she lowered her head as if she had no respect for herself. It was an added bonus that not only her cheeks but also her ears and neck turned bright red with shame.
It was so cute that it made her feel sad, but for reasons of honor and time, she decided to postpone it for another time.
“Anyway, because of that, we are capturing the surrounding castle, not the main base. After capturing all three castles around the main base today, we will capture the enemy base with Dohwa and Sophia bringing reinforcements. Otherwise, this robbery of an empty house will be in vain due to the sandwiches of the enemies who realize that the empty house was robbed.”
Fortunately, unlike Jun, who worked hard on the 4th and 5th days, the Allied forces rested well, so even though they had already fought two sieges, they still had some strength left.
Even if a third siege were to follow immediately, the capture would not fail.
“But the damage will be great.”
“Don’t worry about that. “I plan to participate in the battle from the next siege.”
“Is that possible? “It is difficult to prevent the intervention of the martial arts gods.”
“It was like that back then. But now it is possible. During that time, my spiritual power has accumulated tremendously.”
Jungwon people who were forced to work in the castle of the Murim world.
Thanks to the diligent missionary work of the followers of the Heavenly Demon Church, many people in Jungwon converted to the Church of the Heavenly Demon and are still converting to it.
An increase in believer means an increase in spiritual power.
Thanks to the accumulation of divine power, Jun was able to use some power while preventing the intervention of the gods of the martial world.
Well, it may still be a little difficult to deal with a strong person, but just protecting allies in danger through space or pulling them back will be of great help to the Allied Forces.
However, Jun’s growth is insignificant…
“Welcome, Heavenly Demon.”
“… Yes?”
The third siege that followed was over before it even began.
――――――
The Second Coming of Heaven!
Manmaangbok!
Widely open castle gate.
The legend of the Church of the Heavenly Demon that resonates clearly.
At the sight, which was completely unexpected, Jun forgot his face and made a dumbfounded expression.
But that was only for a moment, and he regained his composure by fully exerting his mind control and asked the old man who came to meet him alone at the gate.
“Is it you? The person who created that scene.”
“I just…”
“For your information, I really hate taking turns.”
“… Yes, I took the lead in creating that scene.”
When he added his harsh warning, the old man slightly bowed his head like a subject giving his opinion to the king and admitted that it was his own doing.
During the process, I did not feel any bad feelings such as hostility or anger, so it seemed unlikely that the scene in front of me was an enemy trap.
‘But just in case you don’t know.’
Woo!
“Por is first again this time!”
To prevent any possible surprise attack or siege, Jun opened the entrance to Dowonhyang.
As Jun grew up again, the lucky angel became able to use angelic powers. As soon as the entrance opened, he came out, flapping his pure white wings.
Oh!
The Second Coming of Heaven!
Manmaangbok!
“Huh? Yes? First, I’m happy to meet you too! But what is this situation? What about siege warfare? Enemy?”
People’s cheers grow louder at the appearance of a beautiful angel.
Like an angel, Fortuna couldn’t pretend to not notice the people’s cheers. She waved kindly to them and asked Jun about the situation.
Jun also didn’t know the details of the situation, so all he could do was shrug his shoulders.
Such a frustrating situation…
“Faith?”
“Grandma Cheong-ah!”
It was only after Wonma and Cheongah came out of Dowonhyang that I felt relieved.
“Suppressed him with poison? “Not just ordinary people, but warriors from Sacheondanga!”
“I see. Thanks to you, I had a hard time.”
The identity of the old man was the doctor who diagnosed Shinpung (as a man) with death at the end of the Yongbong branch meeting.
It is said that right after the conclusion of the Yongbong branch, he stayed here in Sichuan Province to treat the masculinity of the divine wind, despite the possibility of following the instructions from above.
For reference, the reason why he stayed in Sacheon Province was because the owner of Sacheon Province, Sacheon Danga, was very good not only in poison but also in medicine.
Anyway, while he was spending his days treating the divine wind, he happened to hear news of the Allied Forces, and it is said that he took advantage of the opportunity when Sichuan Province’s military power went to the front line to subdue the remaining warriors in Sichuan Province with poison.
“Why? “It seems like I am being treated well by the martial arts people.”
“What good is it to be treated by such animals disguised as humans? And I am a congressman who saves people. “I just wanted to save people, and I did this for him.”
There was not the slightest sense of falsehood in Shin’s words.
In addition, Wonma, who was familiar with him, explained in detail his opposite-like personality and the humiliation he had to endure because of it, so Jun was able to believe his words.
How can we not believe that the head of a prestigious family had a cold, so he ignored the order to treat him and instead treated poor, poor people who were poor and helpless, and did the same thing over and over without stopping even though he was beaten to the brink of death for doing so? ?
“But how did you know about the Heavenly Demon Church, and why did you spread it to people who were forced to work?”
“When Grandma Cheongah was over there (in the central area), she heard from her. And the reason she preached to them was because she received their help in the process of subduing the Murim people, but there were people who were worried that they might be retaliated against by the Murim people because of that, so she spread the message to them for comfort. “I am sorry for spreading the religion without permission even though I am not a believer.”
After saying this, Sinui said that he would give up one of his limbs as punishment.
However, since he has to treat the patient, please look at his hands and eyes if possible.
Of course, Jun was not interested in the old man’s limbs at all, so he waved his hand saying it was not necessary.
“It’s okay. You didn’t harm me, so what are you doing? On the contrary, since it helped me, I should give it a reward. “Do you know it’s called electric steaming?”
“Well, what is that?”
Shin was about to say no when he heard the word “Prize,” But when he heard the next word, electric poultice, he looked puzzled and asked what it was.
As a reincarnated person, Jun willingly taught the people of this other world about the effectiveness of electric poultices, and after a while, another capable slave, or rather believer, was added to the Heavenly Demon Church.
Trying to ignore the sword demon’s contemptuous gaze, Jun asked Shinui one last time.
“You said you stayed here to cure the divine wind, right? Then the new wind is now…”
“I’m still a eunuch.”
“… No, I didn’t ask that.”
… Ah!
