Episode 81 The Wind Blows (1)
“… So, the number of deaths on Hwanheewon’s side, including the temporary captain, was twenty-two. The total number of deaths is twenty-seven.”
Mudam’s expression as he reported was still blunt.
Lee Cheon-sang, who was looking at the window with a drowsy face, suddenly asked.
“Where?”
“Based on the traces of the battlefield and the testimony and reports of the demons, it is presud to be the Nanman Beast Palace.”
Although he said it was an estimate, Lee Cheon-sang thought it was definitely the Beast Palace.
Mudam did not say that he was certain when he was angry. This was to prevent myself from being swept away by emotions and losing my cool.
So the Beast sign would be correct. Additionally, Mudam is currently very angry.
“It’s the Beast Palace…”
Lee Cheon-sang shook his head.
“You got bitten by a dog from the neighborhood next door that you didn’t even care about.”
“….”
“What about the items?”
“They say they recovered everything and returned.”
“That’s it. “Are there any other reports?”
“yes.”
“Okay. “Let’s go back now.”
Mudam slowly bowed and took a polite step back.
The corners of Lee Cheon-sang’s mouth turned up in an arc as he sat in the Taesa Temple alone in Daejeon, where the shaman had left and looked at the window.
“Are you the third one?”
Currently, Shingyo is not doing anything particularly strong. However, the fear given by the four letters ‘Church of the Heavenly Demon’ was still sweeping Gangho.
The Beast Palace touched that kind of religion. If I didn’t have the power to sweep it away without leaving any evidence, I wouldn’t have even thought about touching it.
It is not one or two trillion, but three trillion in the court of defense. If more than half of the three trillion mbers returned alive, there would be one of two reasons.
Either the Beast Palace went crazy and ssed with Shingyo for no reason, or there were enough experts to defend against the Beast Palace’s overwhelming power.
‘Sirang’s yogi (妖氣) disappeared at so point. It looks like the third one went out secretly and ca back.’
There was a hint of interest in Lee Cheon-sang’s indifferent eyes.
“He’s a fun guy.”
No magician on campus would dare to think of secretly going out.
The reason I asked Mudam if there was anything else to report was because I thought that if he had reported it in advance, he would at least know.
Actually, if I had known that the third child had left, I would have told you sooner.
Phew.
The window shook.
The scent of blood seed to be carried by the faint chill in the wind.
“I guess I’ll have to pour you a drink for the first ti in a while.”
* * *
“I’m sorry, Wonju.”
Soyeonsim sighed.
“How can you say you’re sorry?”
“If only I had paid more attention…”
“More than 20 people from the three sets of guards died. That must an that the enemy’s offensive was fatal.”
Juhwa couldn’t say anything. He knew that So Yeon-sim wouldn’t bla him, but that didn’t an his feelings of apology disappeared.
Soyeonsim stroked her shoulder.
“Aren’t the people who really should be angry at those who attacked us? Besides, you have completed your mission. “What I give you is not punishnt, but comfort.”
“….”
“Anyway, it’s surprising. “How can you have already recovered your martial arts skills?”
How could I not know that So Yeon-sim is trying so hard to change her mind?
Juhwa said, lowering his head.
“It’s all thanks to the Three Princes. “Before the incident occurred, I had almost recovered my martial arts skills to 70 percent.”
“Confucius’s abilities are truly mysterious.”
Regardless of her intention to divert the conversation, Soyeonsim was purely surprised. It was a different issue from the depth of force.
In the first place, the martial art itself, which was able to quickly normalize a body that had been devastated by the sword attack, was amazing.
Isn’t it common sense that no matter how good your skill is, it’s difficult to surpass the realm of dicine?
However, Seoliang not only knew about such mystical martial arts, but even recovered more than half of Juhwa’s martial arts skills in just ten days.
‘The Three Confucius….’
The more I listen to him, the more I learn about him, the more fascinating he is. I couldn’t decide whether having a relationship with soone like that would be beneficial or detrintal.
“And…”
“Huh?”
“If Confucius had not been there, we would not have escaped annihilation.”
Soyeonsim nodded.
“I guess so. “Confucius’ martial arts skills are great, and your military skills would have been of great help.”
“no. “I couldn’t be of much help.”
“huh? “What does that an?”
Juhwa gave a detailed account of the situation at the ti.
So Yeon-sim’s eyes trembled with astonishnt.
“Confucius killed all those monsters?”
“yes.”
“The monsters that left demons over 80 helpless? alone?”
“…That’s right.”
Kuuk.
So Yeon-sim’s fist gained strength.
There is no way Juhwa would lie about sothing like this. However, it was difficult to believe because it was so far from common sense.
“If that is true…”
“….”
“It ans that Confucius’s martial prowess is already comparable to the top ten of the Hundred and Eight Demon Commanders.”
The highest leader of the Protestant religion, excluding the religious leader, was the Old Grand Magon of the Senate.
However, apart from them, there were many adherents of Protestantism.
The reason why it was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the federations even though it was a single ard group was because the high class of Protestants was so thick.
Baekpalmajang was the vanguard representing the military power of Protestantism. In particular, the top ten among them were super experts who were ready to aim for the position of the next Old Master Amazon.
Of course, this did not an that their martial arts skills were at the sa level as the current Old Great Mazon. However, it ant that he was a strong player who showed a lot of potential.
“Are you saying that a person in his mid-twenties who lost all his martial arts due to a sword attack was resurrected within a year and reached the sa level as him?”
So Yeon-sim felt scared at the words she muttered to herself.
‘Is that possible?’
Even if soone supports you from behind, it is impossible. Even if the Three Dukes were a world-famous genius, it was absolutely impossible.
‘No, it’s possible.’
Soyeonsim bit her lip gently.
I know only one person who can make that possible.
‘…Master.’
Cheonma Lee Cheon-sang.
If he, the pinnacle of Protestantism at the ti, had stepped forward himself, it would have been entirely possible if he had forcibly raised the martial arts skills of the three princes.
‘What if the religious leader really intervened?’
If so… the next successor had already been chosen.
“Wonju?”
Surprised, Soyeonsim looked at the coin.
A look of worry appeared on Juhwa’s blunt face.
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah, it’s okay. “I had to think for a mont.”
Soyeonsim grabbed Juhwa’s hand.
“let’s go. “You must be exhausted from your journey. Why don’t we have a al together?”
“Yes, Wonju.”
Soyeonsim takes Juhwa with her.
A look of determination appeared on her face.
‘I’ll have to see you again soon.’
* * *
“That’s right.”
Lee Gun-seong sighed.
“What about you? “Are there any other injuries?”
Ma Dong-pil lowered his head.
“it’s okay.”
It won’t be okay. My airway was a little unstable as I was unable to completely control my internal injuries.
“Seeing as he hasn’t recovered yet even after using the genus list, he must have been really dangerous.”
“Oh, I didn’t write the genus list.”
“Yes?”
When Ma Dong-pil explained the situation, Lee Gun-seong nodded.
“There was a reason for that. Take one later when you leave the room. “It will get better soon.”
“It’s okay, Captain.”
“Don’t be stubborn and take it.”
“…yes.”
Gunseong Lee glanced at the window.
In the training hall beyond the window, guards who had not been assigned a mission were training, sweating beadily.
“Protecting soone is the sa as dying on soone’s behalf.”
“….”
“That’s the essence of what we do. We are always the protectors. That’s why it’s so hard. “The warriors who are close to death are probably the guard warriors.”
“….”
“Isn’t Hana’s guard warrior also a person and soone’s colleague?”
A bitterness appeared on Lee Kun-seong’s face.
“We are the only ones who can cry for them, but we still have to sharpen our swords today to protect others.”
“sorry.”
“….”
“My skills were lacking, so the team mbers….”
“You definitely need to apologize. Whatever the reason, as the leader of the escort team, I have so responsibility.”
Ma Dong-pil lowered his head.
“of course. “I will accept any punishnt.”
Gunseong Lee was silent for a mont.
With his eyes still fixed on the window, it was only after a mont that he opened his mouth.
“I think the higher-ups should have worked together with no matter what. “Of course, I know that these regrets have no aning.”
“….”
“Don’t think that your skills are lacking. “If I thought you were lacking in responsibility, ability to perform duties, and martial arts, I wouldn’t have put you in the position of leader.”
“It’s just shaless.”
Lee Gun-seong sighed again. It really felt like I wouldn’t be able to sigh today.
“I will personally visit the families of those who died.”
“No, Captain. Since they are mbers of my team, I personally…”
“This is a matter that I separately reported to the Lord of the Protectorate.”
Ma Dong-pil bit his lip. It was who was responsible, but I felt bad when I heard that my senior was taking part of the responsibility.
Gunseong Lee stood up from his seat.
“There’s no need to worry too much. I’m not doing this because I’m thinking of you, but because I think I should go and bow my head.
“I am the one who coordinated the mission, so I have to take responsibility as well.”
It is neither comforting nor sarcastic. Lee Gun-seong really thought that this situation was his fault.
Ma Dong-pil also felt even more sorry because he knew that.
And I was angry. Just like when I felt confused after seeing that the Three Dukes had solved everything, I still felt my own shortcomings clearly.
“I will go with you too.”
“It doesn’t work.”
Ma Dong-pil felt puzzled. I’m not saying you shouldn’t do that, but I’m saying you can’t do it. What does it an?
“I plan to punish you as Wonju’s deputy. “Until the punishnt is completed, you must take a break from the work of the defense court for the ti being.”
“…!”
“It will probably be quite a while.”
Ma Dong-pil bowed his head again.
“I will gladly accept it.”
“Good. Now that the governor’s position has been established, let’s deal with it right away.”
Gunseong Lee stood up from his seat.
“Ma Dong-pil, the third leader of the defense court, will be suspended indefinitely after this ti.”
I knew I was going to be suspended. But I didn’t know it would be indefinite.
Although he was a little surprised, Ma Dong-pil agreed.
It is a cri of failing to properly manage the team mbers and a cri of failing to reliably protect the target of the guard. Even if he is not suspended indefinitely but rather resigns from his position as leader, there is nothing he can say.
“I give a special order to Ma Dong-pil, who has been suspended, as the acting head of Wonju. Until this secret mission is fulfilled, Ma Dong-pil cannot be reappointed as the leader of the defense court.”
“….”
“As of this mont, Ma Dong-pil has been selected as the personal guard of the Three Princes.”
Ma Dong-pil, surprised, looked up at Lee Gun-seong.
“Just as the period of suspension is indefinite, the period of fulfillnt of secret orders is also indefinite, so Ma Dong-pil must do his best in his duties to prevent any mishaps like before.”
“Chief Joe!”
“This concludes the disciplinary action against Ma Dong-pil, the third leader.”
“….”
“Go. As a mber of this school, I should not dare to ask Confucius for this, but… I will learn a lot from him and co back.”
Ma Dong-pil’s eyes trembled slightly.
Lee Gun-seong smiled.
“I must co back.”
