Episode 354 Baek Woo-jin, the commander-in-chief
, went out to the fence of the Blue Bison tribe together with Moon Ju-young, the leader of the army.
“Are you planning to go on like that?”
As we were about to leave for the city of Ralun, Servik jumped over the iron fence on the right and landed.
“Can you send to the vicinity of Larun by warp?”
“It should be comfortable to take the warp, but it’s not a good idea.”
“Why?”
“Currently, the Empire’s attention is focused on the area around Ralun City. “If you use long-distance movent magic at a ti like this, Servik’s identity may be revealed.”
“Well, there’s a chance that Yuman would notice.”
“It’s a bit hard for to say this after revealing your identity, but you have to finish the fun you started. There is no need to change into the main body unless the war becos serious.”
“Hmm!”
Servik smiled broadly, his eyes shining with emotion.
“He’s quick to turn his head, and every ti I see him, he only picks out the sounds he likes. Darkness. “It’s different from that useless scrap tal.”
-I’m going to get sick from a lizard with a lump on its head! That guy is as sneaky as he looks and is said to be the best in the world!
Darkness could not hold back its anger and circled around in the air like a mosquito hit by mosquito repellent.
“It’s a pity that we only t now. “If we had t earlier, we would have had a better relationship.”
“I’m glad we t even now.”
“Hahaha! That’s right. As you requested, I will head to Ralun City as soon as the elites gather.”
“thank you.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled and nodded. After making eye contact with Servik, who seed to be an old friend, I turned around.
‘After all, a close relationship is better than a one-sided order.’
Rather than a master-slave relationship where Servik was forced to give orders, a relationship with a little bit of trust like the present was much better.
‘I will do what you ask with sincerity.’
-Ugh! Look! Baek Woo-jin This guy is a devil with a black inside! You are being fooled! You stupid lizard!
Baek Woo-jin and Servik left, and only the empty cries of darkness that no one could hear remained.
**
“Hmm….”
Baek Woo-jin smiled towards the city of Ralun in the distance.
‘Everyone ca on ti.’
A strong military spirit cos from within Ralun. It was the energy of the combined warriors of Preston and Seiran that I felt before.
-what?
‘There are warriors from the Seiran Alliance Preston Castle in there.’
-Huh, you felt their montum here?
Darkness laughed.
‘It’s a feeling that’s almost ignorant.’
It was true that I had reached transcendence by reading the barely visible presence of warriors inside Ralun.
‘It seems like the auror’s energy has increased significantly as he reached transcendence.’
Baek Woo-jin grinned and headed toward the south gate of Ralun City.
“See you, Prosecutor Geo!”
When we arrived in front of the south gate, the guard commander, Jacques, saluted us.
-What salute? Are you his boss?
‘I guess it’s because I got a lot of help.’
It is not strange to salute since he saved not only his life but the entire city of Ralun.
“Long ti no see.”
Baek Woo-jin raised his hand and accepted Zach’s greeting.
“What are you doing! Open the door quickly!”
When Jacques urgently sent a hand signal, the huge front door, not the side door, opened wide.
“Wow!”
“It’s the swordsman in black!”
“You’re back!”
Citizens who saw him cheered and waved. Their eyes sparkled with reverence as if facing the light.
“Hum hum!”
“I clearly rember who saved . “The hard work was worth it.”
There were people shouting out the nas of Moon Ju-young and Mu Young-gaek, so the two people smiled and cheered.
“Stop it and let’s go.”
“yep!”
As Baek Woo-jin headed toward the main street, the crowd of citizens split apart like the Red Sea. We accepted their greetings and headed up the street to City Hall.
As if the news had already spread, the doors to City Hall were wide open and Mayor Caelach was out.
“You’re back!”
Mayor Caelach rushed over and bowed his head.
“I was able to travel comfortably thanks to the excellent guide.”
“Then that’s a relief. “Good job Pawin.”
“no. “It was an honor to be with you.”
Fawin smiled and shook his head.
-You don’t ask about that market alliance.
‘I guess I thought I had failed.’
Since he returned much sooner than expected, he thought he had failed and didn’t seem to ask about the alliance.
– Well, he ca back quickly.
‘Because no one knew the Beast King would be there.’
If Servik hadn’t been in the Blue Bison Tribe, it would have taken several months longer than it did now, so his thoughts were natural.
“The forces of the Seiran Alliance and Preston Castle arrived the day before yesterday. “We are currently holding a eting with the castle owners and executives, so please join us, prosecutor.”
“All right.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded calmly. I already knew they were gathered because I could feel the presence of the castle lords inside the council building.
widely.
I followed Cailac into the conference room.
‘Everyone is here.’
The castle lords were sitting around a large oval table.
To the right were Sein and Sylvia Dapple, the lords of Preston Castle, and on the other side sat four lords of the Seiran Alliance. Bulfor, the lord of Barex Castle, was a bit distant, like a loner.
“Baek Woo-jin!”
“Master!”
“Prosecutor!”
As soon as they saw themselves, Sylvia and Seine Dapple got up and approached at the sa ti, as if they had made a promise.
“You’re going to the south as soon as you save the castle! “You should give a chance to say thank you!”
“that’s right. “We were so embarrassed that we couldn’t even say thank you for helping us and then leaving without saying a word…”
Deple lowered his head with tears in his eyes, and Sylvia let out a rare shout.
“How can we say hello to soone like that because we are not strangers?”
Baek Woo-jin smiled as he patted the shoulders of Dapple and Sylvia as they approached.
“Wouldn’t it be better to resolve the issue later and proceed with the eting first?”
Seiran Castle Lord Edgar cleared his throat and knocked on the table.
“Let’s talk about it later and sit down.”
Baek Woo-jin turned his head and looked at the empty seat at the table.
The five digits on the right and left and their matching nas were empty. Without hesitation, I went to the head table and sat down.
The Seiran Alliance frowned, while the others nodded as if it was obvious.
-You’re unstoppable.
‘Who else would sit here but ?’
It’s not just pride. The only person who could sit at the head table here was himself.
“What eting were you having?”
“We finished our strategy eting in the morning and were now talking about command.”
Caelach sat on the right and handed over the docunts.
“Command authority?”
“Currently, the Seiran Alliance Preston and Ralun’s armies are gathered in Ralun, but they have never fought together. In other words, they were trying to select a general commander based on the suggestion of St. Edgar that a general command authority was needed to lead them all.”
“I recomnded a teacher, but he was rejected as soone who doesn’t exist anymore.”
“Right.”
Baek Woo-jin looked at Edgar. I could tell what he was thinking by looking at his eyes.
‘You were trying to beco general commander while I was away.’
-If you’re looking for a hole in a situation like this, I’m a bastard.
Darkness smiled at Edgar.
“I think you should definitely beco a teacher. “The reason everyone can gather here is because of Master.”
“I agree.”
“Of course too.”
Dapple recomnded Baek Woo-jin, and Sylvia and Sain Caelach raised their hands.
“Um, the black swordsman.”
With the situation turning unfavorable, Edgar leaned his upper body towards the table.
“Have you ever studied strategy or tactical warfare?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“Then what experience do you have in strategically managing troops?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“Right.”
Edgar stood up with a faint smile, as if he knew that would happen.
“I acknowledge your powerlessness. You’ll be stronger than anyone here. However, no matter how strong the force is, there is a chance that the completed strategy will be defeated. “I believe that the position of commander-in-chief should be soone who has properly learned and mastered strategy and tactics rather than strength.”
“That is correct.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded calmly.
“Then, did the Lord of Seiran Castle study the strategy properly?”
“Of course. Since I was 10 years old, I have endlessly learned about war strategies and tactics. “If you entrust with the position of commander-in-chief, I will do my best to defeat the enemy.”
“Then have you ever put your strategies and tactics into practice?”
“of course! In the battle against the Empire, use your tactics freely….”
“From what I rember, the Seiran Alliance has never left the castle. In fact, didn’t you just watch when Linden Castle was eaten by the Demon of the Divine Sword?”
“That’s because of strategy…”
Edgar seed to have nothing to say at that point, so he couldn’t continue and just bit his lip.
“It seems like I, who didn’t learn properly, and Lord Seiran, who learned sothing but can’t use it, are in similar conditions.”
“Keueuuuuu!”
“Hahahaha! That’s right. “Even if I asked you to go, you stayed there like a mole because you didn’t know what might happen!”
Rector Freed, the lord of Shukan Castle, who had been sitting still with his arms crossed, burst into cheerful laughter.
“You…”
“I have no intention of withdrawing from my position as commander-in-chief, so I think it would be a good idea to vote. “But let’s do it now, when one more person cos.”
“One more?”
“Who else is coming?”
Edgar and Dapple opened their mouths with questioning looks.
“Marka, the Beast King of the South, will arrive within a week.”
“Huh!”
“Hey Beast King? “The Beast King who united the South?”
“Did you really convince those beast people?”
Everyone sitting at the table stood up in shock.
“yes. “We have signed an alliance with the beast tribe.”
“You’re forming an alliance with that barbarian….’ When
Baek Woo-jin held out the docunt, Caelak opened his mouth in bewildernt.
‘Of course I thought I failed.’
Baek Woo-jin arrived much earlier than expected. Of course, he didn’t ask because he thought they couldn’t form an alliance, but that was his big mistake.
In this short ti, he entered into an alliance with the Beast King and returned. I was so embarrassed that my heart was pounding.
‘This person is really…’
Baek Woo-jin was not enough to even call him a monster, having gained the power of the Beast Tribe in the south, Seiran in the east of Preston in the north.
“As expected of you, Master!”
“I had no idea you could actually do that!”
“Everyone will gather from the North, South and East.
“Ugh….”
Depple and Sylvia Sain looked at each other in admiration, while Edgar clenched his fists with an expression of failure.
“The Beast King will arrive soon, so I think it would be a good idea to have everyone vote for the commander-in-chief when he arrives. And… um?”
Baek Woo-jin stopped speaking and turned his head to the west.
-why?
‘arrived.’
-arrive?
‘The imperial army has arrived. ‘It’s faster than I thought.’
“Master. “What’s going on?”
Deple tilted his head because he paused while speaking.
“The Imperial Army has arrived.”
“yes?”
“My imperial army?”
“It’s approaching from the west at breakneck speed.”
Baek Woo-jin approached the west and opened the window. Although it was invisible to the eye, a powerful military force was approaching from afar.
While everyone was panicking, the door opened with a crashing sound and Zach ca in.
“Mayor! Imperial forces are approaching from the west. “The number is in the tens of thousands.”
“What is it? Was it real?”
“You sensed the presence of the imperial army here? “Is such a crazy thing possible?”
“Huh…”
The castle lords looked at Baek Woo-jin with fascinated faces. They seed to be astonished by Baek Woo-jin’s spirit even more than the arrival of the imperial army.
“Let’s go out.”
Baek Woo-jin felt the puzzled looks of people and headed toward the open door.
**
As soon as Baek Woo-jin climbed the western wall, he saw nurous flags waving.
A flag with a white sword, a flag with an angel on it, and even a flag with a white glow. They were all imperial flags.
‘That’s a lot.’
The number of dark ghosts running from the front was well over 10,000, and the number of soldiers following them was also over 10,000.
It wasn’t just the numbers.
The discipline of the warriors and knights who commanded them was strong, and the knight at the center of it all radiated a powerful energy wave that had made him the absolute top.
-How did you get here so quickly?
‘What must the new director Yuman have done?’
It wasn’t that difficult for Yuman, who freely used the dinsional gap, to move them.
‘But that’s the vanguard.’
The main force that Servik was talking about has not even arrived yet. They created that number of troops just as a vanguard, so the right answer was to stop them here.
“Everyone, prepare for battle!”
“Prepare for battle!”
“Ooh where should we go!”
“How should I take my position…”
Not only the Allied Forces but also the Ralun Army was panicking at the sudden appearance of the enemy, not knowing what to do.
-It seems like sothing is happening.
‘I arrived yesterday, so there’s nothing I can do.’
They arrived yesterday, so it wasn’t strange for them to look like this.
“Everyone calm down!”
“ah!”
“That prosecutor!”
With Baek Woo-jin’s montum, he opened his mouth. The soldiers’ eyes, shaken by that heavy voice, slowly cald down.
“Please stay calm and wait now.”
After calming everyone down, we headed back to the castle wall.
The imperial army continued to run and stopped just out of reach of the arrows.
As the priests standing in the middle chanted a spell, siege weapons such as chariots, catapults, and siege towers were summoned.
The fact that they perform such feats with divine power rather than magic is sothing that amazes every ti I see them.
As the soldiers ascended the siege engine, a man on horseback approached from the center of the Imperial army.
“Shall I shoot?”
“Wait.”
Baek Woo-jin shook his head at Jacques and then turned his gaze to the man walking toward the castle gate. He took off his helt and dismounted from his horse about 100 ters away from the castle gate.
“Gu-Guren!”
Dapple’s eyes widened when he saw the man’s face.
“Do you know soone?”
“The fourth of the ten imperial swords, it is a monster that cannot be compared to the Maroon that ca before!”
“Definitely…”
Unlike the Maroons I fought before, I felt the montum of being at the absolute top.
“We have co to punish Ralun for his foul actions under God’s command!”
Guren looked up at the top of the castle wall and opened his mouth. Even though he didn’t seem to be shouting, his voice echoed throughout Ralun.
“If you confess your sins and surrender even now, I won’t kill everyone!”
“cri? “What cri have we committed?”
“Didn’t you know that I ambushed and killed the Gargoyle Knights sent for goodwill!”
“That’s what you targeted and the city officials for! “Jeokbanhajang is also made of oily resin!”
Caelak couldn’t hold back and scread.
“Does this an you won’t admit guilt? “That’s stupid.”
Guren smiled coldly and nodded. Instead of turning back, he took a few steps closer to the gate.
“I propose a short skirmish before a siege! My na is Guren! The fourth of the Imperial Ten Swords and the commander of the vanguard! Let those who are confident co forward!”
‘Short-term skirmish?’
-I an, let’s go head-to-head.
“No? As expected, the warriors gathered in Ralun City are only cowards. They are such dirty bastards! Hahaha!”
Guren looked up at the castle wall and burst out laughing. The imperial army followed him in laughter.
“Uhm….”
“I’m going out!”
Edgar frowned and Lector Freed grabbed the wall saying he would go out.
‘Not with those two.’
Guren and Edgar Lecter Freed’s skills are the sa, but Guren has the divine power that Yuman gave him. Those two can’t win.
“I’m going out!”
“You can’t.”
Dapple gritted his teeth and forced his raised hand down.
“I’ll go and just look around here.”
Baek Woo-jin took out the black war gun, put it on, and jumped down the castle wall.
chin.
After gently landing on the ground, he stood in front of Guren.
“You…”
“Baek Woojin.”
“Black swordsman!”
Guren narrowed his eyes and took a step back.
‘Why is it this guy…’
When heading here, the man the commander-in-chief had told not to deal with was none other than Baek Woo-jin.
‘It’s a little different from what I heard?’
Baek Woo-jin’s montum was great, but it was not fully developed and was disheveled.
‘I can win at that level.’
It seed that even the sa absolute state could not reach the person who had received the power of the new director.
‘Baek Woo-jin is the spiritual leader over there. If you defeat him, the enemy’s montum will hit rock bottom.’
He seed to be overflowing with confidence due to his better condition than usual and the strength he received from Yuman.
“Okay. “Let’s take a look at the legendary skills.”
Guren pulled out the sword hanging from his waist, and both young aura and divine power flowed out of his heart.
Quaaaaa!
A blue-white radiance burned all over his body, and an enormous wave of energy spread out. The earth shook and the walls of the castle trembled at the manifestation of enormous power.
Cheeeeee!
A column-like force of energy rose above Guren’s sword. It ant that I would do my best from the beginning without letting my guard down.
“I’m going!”
Guren raised his sword and kicked the ground. It was as if it had beco an arrow of light, with terrifying speed.
‘It would be perfect for testing.’
Baek Woo-jin stood there and looked at Guren who was rushing towards him.
The enormous and strong power that surged from his sword showed that his military power was at the highest level.
Guren strikes the sword raised at the top. The atmosphere splits apart and a huge wave of air pours out.
If it had been before, the pressure would have been so strong that it would have taken my breath away, but now that my body and energy had reached transcendence, it felt like a breeze.
Guren’s falling sword strikes seed like slow motion.
Just before his strong energy reached his head, he put out his left foot, lowered his stance, and pulled out his Seolyeonggeom.
Chiri ririn!
The energy of the Black King Bullet that had condensed into the body of the Seolyeonggeom tore apart Guren’s enormous strength.
“Huh!”
Guren freaked out and tried to pull out his sword, but it was already too late.
Quick!
Black King Tan’s sword strike split the strength and sword and even cut out his heart.
“Keueuuuuu!”
Guren knelt on the dirt floor, clutching his bleeding chest.
“Oh how…”
He lost his breath without even being able to say a single word.
It’s a sword.
A sword that can cut even warriors of the absolute highest rank with one sword. This was the power that a person who had reached transcendence could exert.
Both the Allied forces in Ralun City and the Imperial Army that ca to invade Ralun City all remained silent.
Slurp.
Baek Woo-jin swung the Seolyeong sword, put it in its sheath, and raised his head.
Tooung!
At that mont, a young darkness pierced the imperial army in his eyes. The imperial army’s lines were twisted by that absolute wave of energy.
Jeez.
Baek Woo-jin stood in front of the imperial army, showing off his uncharacteristic spirit.
“next.”
