Chapter 399 – Siege
Jun and the allied forces, who were able to occupy another castle without any damage thanks to God’s performance, headed to the Murim’s main camp without delay the next day.
“Your Majesty, are you sure it’s okay for Socheop to join you?”
The road included Dohwa, who was working separately at the same time as the siege began.
For reference, she played a very important role, including moving reinforcements in a timely manner when they were needed and resolving various incidents and accidents that occurred in the rear.
I can assure you that without her, the siege would never have gone as smoothly as it does now.
She must have been well aware of this fact, and Dohwa kept looking behind her and feeling restless.
She seemed to be worried that she would fail to fulfill her assigned role.
“Dohwa, focus. “Your role is very important, but it is not more important than what you are doing today.”
Jun comforted her, wrapping his arms around her slender waist.
It was clear that the more she failed to fulfill her assigned role, the more unfavorable the siege would be for the Allied Forces.
But that’s only when it takes some time.
On the other hand, if we fail to do what we need to do today, which is to capture the martial arts base, the Allied Forces will suffer great damage as all three castles they obtained through robbing empty houses will be taken away.
Regardless of priority or importance, it was right to mobilize Dohwa for the siege.
Above all, it would have been a waste to let her great power, like a painting, go to waste in her rear.
Just as Fortuna regained some of her original power as an angel as Jun grew up, Dohwa also regained some of her original power as a divine beast.
That power is so strong that even Jun, who can use divine power, cannot easily see it.
Well, Shinsoo can also create a world that even a god can only create by sacrificing his own body, so it would be natural for him to have that much power.
Anyway, when they gathered all the power they could muster and arrived at Luoyangseong, the headquarters of the Murim, Jun and the allied forces could be seen.
The Murim people filling the castle walls under the flags waving majestically.
“Did you tell me as expected? “We will come.”
Even if you look at it, it didn’t look like it was hastily constructed.
They probably knew in advance that Jun and the Allied Forces would come and prepared for it.
And the one who gave me that information must have been the god of the martial world.
There is no way that information could have been discovered with the poor technology of the martial arts world.
For your information, during the previous day’s robbery of an empty house, Jun and the Allied Forces did not miss a single martial artist, and since the distance between the castles was never close, it was impossible to notice the fact that it had been captured with the naked eye.
Therefore, the only way for the martial arts people in Luoyang Castle to know that Jun and the allied forces were coming was for God to give them a hint.
“It’s disgraceful. It’s like an adult intervening in a children’s fight.”
“Don’t be so angry, Por. Still, it seems like the price has been well paid.”
The realm of the martial arts gods felt in Luoyang Castle and its vicinity.
Before I grew up, I had to exert all my strength to push it away, but now it seemed like I could push it away so easily.
The difference may not be just because Jun has grown.
The fact that the divine power of the martial arts gods has decreased compared to a while ago must have also played a role.
And the reason why the divine power of the martial arts gods has decreased so much is probably because an oracle was given to the martial arts people in Luoyang Castle that we would come.
The more important and decisive the trust is, the more spiritual power it takes to send it.
When the gods give an oracle, they don’t twist its contents for no reason.
This is to reduce the consumption of spiritual power even a little.
“Well, the gods of the martial world had been using a lot of divine power before then, so it would be strange for them to be overflowing with divine power.”
Unilateral dissolution of the Yongbong Branch.
Territory fight with Jun.
New statues for detection and ships installed at the rear, etc.
The martial arts god had already used too much divine power.
In that situation, even a trust?
It’s just a guess, but you won’t have to worry about the intervention of the gods of the martial world anymore.
“You wicked barbarians! Not only did you dare to attack without declaring war, but dare to avoid an all-out war and sneak into the rear! “Do you guys truly have no shame?”
Just as Jun was sighing in relief, someone’s angry voice rang out from Luoyang Castle, as if it was too early to be relieved.
A voice I vaguely remember.
If I remember correctly, it was the voice of a man called the Murim Lord.
“Juni, I think the owner of this voice is quite strong.”
“Yes, I agree.”
Nahiru said.
It is said that the current Murim lord is the best expert in the current Central Plains and is not far from Deungseon (登仙).
As evidence, his power and presence were clearly evident in his voice.
His power and presence were so heavy that our troops, who had been in high spirits with successive victories, were shrugging their shoulders in despair as if they had never done that before.
Of course, as the general manager of the Allied Forces, Jun could not just watch that happen.
“What! Declare war! When did we even sign a peace agreement?! Do something like that! We were definitely at war! Exploiting the enemy’s weaknesses to the best of your ability is a clear strategy! And I’ve wanted to say this for a long time, but who called me a barbarian! They only know how to hit, hit, and fight, so they can’t even tell the enemy that they’re attacking!”
Fu, puhaha!
That’s right!
You barbarians!
You guys know magic!
Jun immediately shouted loudly.
His voice is filled with the will (spiritual power) to bring bravery to his allies and fear to his enemies.
The allies, who had been shrugging their shoulders in despair as if their efforts were in vain, became arrogant again and made fun of the Murim people, and the enemy soldiers (Murim people) who were filling up the castle wall in the distance were so discouraged that many fell down one after another.
“Lastly, did you say shameless? Okay, let’s see how shameful you are. It’s Dohwa.”
Jun did not stop there and used one more move.
Dohwa, who immediately read his will through the soul string, nodded his head and disappeared into Dowonhyang.
“I brought you here as instructed.”
W, here!
It’s optimistic! It’s Luoyang Castle!
Look, leader! Please save us!
When she reappeared a while later, behind her were the hosts that the Allied Forces had captured so far.
“You Martial People value righteousness and cooperation! “The hostages here are all brave warriors who proudly fought against the Allied Forces!”
No.
The hostages here were actually cowards who gave up their weapons and surrendered as soon as defeat became apparent.
None of the truly brave warriors died during the battle.
“Murim Lord! Give us your head! Then, not only will I release them all, but I will also resign from this position. “I’ll give you back all the castles you took yesterday!”
It’s a lie.
If, indeed, the Murim Lord hands over the title, Jun and the allied forces will immediately begin a siege.
Isn’t that a bit too much?
There is a saying in the world like this. Those who are fooled are fools.
“…”
“Lord, why is there no answer! Surely a martial artist who values righteousness and cooperation! The Murim lord, who is considered the best among them, would not turn a blind eye to the lives of brave warriors!”
Of course, the Murim Lord was not stupid enough to accept such a ridiculous proposal.
Nevertheless, the reason he couldn’t even make a noise was because of his reputation.
The martial people are those who only speak of righteousness, cooperation, and justice, but do the opposite in their actions, and are extremely concerned about respect.
Due to the overwhelming superiority of the Allied Forces, the current Murim Lord’s leadership is inevitably questioned.
In such a situation, do we forget about face and give up on the warriors who fought bravely against the enemy (pretend to be)?
Also, a nobleman who always talks about righteousness and cooperation with his mouth?
Who will believe in the Murim Lord and fight against the enemies with their lives?
Most people will run away without even looking back.
“This is why your daily behavior is important. Look at me Even if you take hostages and make ridiculous proposals, no one says anything.”
“Instead, you probably think deep down that you are the god of darkness. No matter how I look at it, it seems like Mom divided her territory well!”
“Shut up. “Go and bring that guy back.”
“Seeing!”
Fortuna held her forehead where the punishment of the God of Darkness had fallen and puffed out her cheeks like a pufferfish.
However, as soon as the God of Darkness showed signs of punishing him once more, he immediately brought in the hostage he had pointed out.
“It seemed that the lord’s righteousness and cooperation were not as high as I thought, so I brought him here. See who it is! Are righteousness and cooperation a little higher?”
“Ugh! Lord, please save me quickly! “You are planning to pretend not to know me, the head of the Sichuan Dang family who has contributed to the martial arts world for a long time!”
Jun grabbed the hostage, the head of the Sacheondanga family, by the back and shook it proudly.
Although he was a martial artist who specialized in poison, he was pitifully caught with poison and raised his voice as if he was embarrassed to be rescued.
It was so shameless that everyone listening was embarrassed.
“… God Wind. Where is the new wind?”
“You’re looking for a new wind here? Can’t other people see it?”
“Noisy! I don’t care what happens to the other guys, so hurry up and bring God Wind! Come on!”
“Lord! What do you mean! Leader! Leader!”
Roaring Roaring Roaring
The head of the Sichuan Dang family cried desperately as if it was hard to believe at the unwavering, firm tone of the Murim lord, and a sense of futility and skepticism quickly spread among the martial people in Luoyang Castle.
Having achieved the desired result, Jun threw the head of the Sacheondang family back without any hesitation and sent his thoughts to Dohwa.
Following his intention, Dohwa once again entered Dowonhyang and brought out a person after a while.
That person was a beautifully decorated, flowery woman.
Crack!
“How on earth do you plan to mock me! I clearly told you to bring Shinpung, but you brought a girl like that!”
“Wow. Calm down, my friend. And take a closer look. Because I did as you said.”
“… What?”
Maengju, who was furious, hurriedly looked at the woman closely at Jun’s words.
“This can’t be right…”
After a while, his eyes widened to the limit.
As Jun said, the woman’s identity was none other than Shinpung.
