The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman]

Episode 482

The place where the headquarters of the Naengsan Palace is located.

Booming…

Jeonseo-gu, which had fluttered vigorously through the distant sky, hovered over the burnt reed field once and landed.

Googoo goo.

When the messenger spread the palm holding the rice, Jeon Seo-gu pushed out his beak and eagerly filled his stomach.

Jeon Seo-gu, who didn’t know anything about people, was relaxed, but the messenger’s complexion was not good.

It was because of the red feathers on its tail.

A signal that announces the urgency of the battlefield.

The sender was Hebei, and the sender was unafraid of heavenly power.

The messenger hurriedly dragged the small barrel tied to Jeon Seo-gu’s leg to check the contents, and was shocked.

“Oh no! Mangung-nim?”

It wasn’t something you could decide for yourself. Grabbing the seal, the messenger immediately flew towards the center of the headquarters.

“Urgent news!”

His visits were repeated one step at a time, and only recently, the peace of the commanding department, which had been enjoying the joy of victory by depriving the government commander of the army, was broken in an instant.

“What are you talking about!”

Upon receiving the message, Cheonlip burst out screaming, but the messenger was unable to give a proper answer.

“Aren’t you asking what the hell is going on with this?”

The messenger lowered his head even more at Chunlip’s scream.

How can you tell if you ask?

“It is as written. What happened to me too…”

“Damn it!”

The core of the letter sent by the heavenly power of incense was one.

Mangung disappeared.

What do you mean?

Two days ago, I received a letter saying that Ningjo was attacked by the enemy and that Mangung, who supported him, had annihilated the enemy. What does this letter mean?

one of them is fake

But, whichever one was true, it must have been a disaster.

There is a crack in the power of Hebei, which was waiting to strike the Forbidden City.

“Confirmation? Have you checked the authenticity?”

“That’s still… because we decided that the original body matter was urgent.”

“Shut up! Not even checking this vital matter! Send a letter of confirmation to the heavenly power as soon as possible!”

“yes!”

Seeing Cheonlip’s terrifying eyes, the messenger hurriedly ran out of the tent.

“What is it that makes such a fuss?”

“The Great Grand Palace Lord.”

As soon as the messenger left, Cheonlip, whose face flushed red at the sight of Han Moo-hwa, stopped talking and stepped aside.

“This….”

“….”

Han Moo-hwa frowned as he sat down on a chair and read the beginning of the entire letter that Cheon-lip extended.

“How do you see it?”

“It… has yet to be confirmed which one is real.”

“hmm. What if the heavenly power code is real?”

“Mangung and Eungjo must be dead, and there is a gap of two days in the enemy’s movement, so we must quickly make preparations.”

Han Moo-hwa calmly asked Cheon-lip’s answer.

“What preparations?”

“A change in strategy prepared in Hebei is inevitable.”

“Is it inevitable?”

“That’s right. North Ridaocheon is in Xinjiang, and the Jeongmu-maeng has not escaped from Shanxi and Shaanxi. What is currently not properly understood is Sapaecheon.”

Chunlip quickly continued talking towards Han Moo-hwa, who was deep in thought with her chin resting on her chin.

“If the seal of the heavenly power is true… the only person who can defeat Eungjo and Mangung in a short time is Shaman Jigeom. It is highly likely that he led a small detached unit and moved directly.”

“…”

“The distance between units waiting in Hebei is about two hundred li. Each one is a day away. If Eungjo and Mangung are affected, not only the heavenly power but also other places are dangerous. We must quickly unite our troops and prepare for his attack.”

“Prepare for an attack…”

“Yes. Find out their intentions and quickly find the shaman sword…”

Han Moo-hwa raised his hand to block Cheon-rip’s words.

“Should I be surprised by his movements?”

“That’s…”

While Cheon Lip hesitated, Han Moo-hwa got up from her seat and approached the battlefield map located in the center of the tent.

The enemy’s power was displayed there, which schematized the entire midfield.

The Central Plains and the Imperial Army formed a defensive line in the northern part of the Central Plains.

And the headquarters of the palace, divided into a unit led by ten warriors fighting them from the front, and left, right, and middle armies.

“If Hebei was attacked, it would be a story that our strength was revealed, and it would mean that we knew our intentions.”

“….”

“There is no reason to make a fuss about the damage and the shaman prosecutor’s office carrying out an attack. However, the war has started a long time ago, and with the imperial army being sent to the front, we can’t wait.”

widely.

The eyes of the people around him were focused on the place he pointed with his finger.

Dararak.

The two flags merged in Han Moo-hwa’s hand. Excluding the heavenly power, it was a force led by two unscented people.

Swoop.

With a light push, the two flags advanced toward the border of Hebei.

“Whatever they’re after, whatever their intentions, it’s time to advance. I will advance the two incense and hit the lower north.”

“…”

It was a declaration of all-out war.

It was a moment I had been waiting for, but I didn’t feel like it now.

It was very dangerous to leave behind an ambush enemy.

Also, since Hebei’s northern defense line is an important place for Jungwon, it was clear that they would do their best to block it.

It was a crowd with only two unscented people.

“Lord Daegung, it would be better to combine all the armed forces to prepare for the enemy and move the left army to attack Hebei…” “

No, the plan does not change.”

The Grand Palace Master, who cut Cheonlip’s words like a knife, advanced the banner of the central army this time.

Swoop.

The flag immediately started southward, broke at Datong, and then moved to the flank of Hebei.

“Can you stand?”

Han Moo-hwa, who glanced at the astonished Cheon-rip, calmly nodded.

“The central army will attack the west of Hebei, taking advantage of the gap where all nerves are focused on the northern part of Hebei.”

“…”

“Tell Maengbu to capture Jeongmu-maeng and lure him to Naengsan when the Junggun passes Daedong.”

“…!”

The flag of the vanguard that is moved to Naengsan with him.

Suddenly, the strategy takes a strange turn.

You lure them with cold acid? why?

“Give orders to the left and right armies. The core masters are now in the middle army, and the rest are left with only the Red Turbans, returning sequentially to defend Naengsan. Send a message to the three no-hyangs whose life and death are unclear to return to Naengsan.”

“…what should I do with Shaman Sword?”

Han Moo-hwa smiled meaningfully and replied.

“If you want to help Hebei, you will meet me, and if you come to Naengsan, you will receive the gift I left for you.”

“What if you say it’s a gift?”

“Explosion and extinction.”

“…!”

Goose bumps ran down Cheonlip’s spine as he met Han Moo-hwa’s cold eyes.

It’s an explosion extinction.

Daegungju is planning to bury not only the shaman swordsman, but also all the shamans of the Red Turbans, the political martyrdom, and the shamans who became bait in the cold mountain.

Just as their ancestors were buried there in the past…

“The Great Grand Palace. The sacrifice is too great.”

“….”

Han Moo-hwa, who had been silently watching Cheon-lip expressing concern while stuttering, replied coldly.

“sacrifice?”

“…”

“Who allowed you to think like that? It’s me who makes the moves. You are just chess eggs that move as much as I allow, towards the place I set.”

The madness that shone in his eyes made Chun Lip suffocate, his throat shrunk.

“…and I’ll follow your orders.”

Chunlip lowered his head and hurriedly ran out.

In order to convey the order to all places under the command of the palace…

* * *

The sun went down again and the battle was over.

wheein.

Just when the length of the shadows was much longer than the heights of those who filled the battlefield, an unexpected wind blew dust and covered the thick smell of blood.

The things embroidered everywhere were broken spears and swords, and what filled every blank was blood and corpses.

The landscape, which had been fresh with green waves of sprouts, had become a cross-section of a certain layer of hell.

cook.

Cheol Ji-ryang, who stood at the forefront and cut down the enemy without rest, barely stood up to support the sword driven into the ground.

The ground that my feet touched was muddy.

The dry ground was so full of blood that it turned to mud, so it was worth guessing how fierce this battle was.

But where is the only damp place on the floor?

The clothes she was wearing were also soaked and clinging to her body, making it difficult to move.

“Whoa…”

Cheolji-ryang, who had barely calmed down his rough breathing, struggled to straighten his back.

When was the last time you sweated?

When was the last time you felt fatigue beyond the limit of your internal energy?

The trembling in the hand holding the sword bottle did not seem to go away.

Cheol Ji-ryang took another breath and looked around.

“Ha ha ha…”

Everyone was extremely tired.

Yang Xiaobang and Deung Yeopyeong barely straighten their backs. And the young soldiers of Yongbong-gwan and the soldiers of the old school follow them.

The soldiers who were sent to the frontline together were sitting on the floor.

Cheol Ji-ryang raised his head with difficulty and stared at Dae-dong’s city in the distance.

“The damn bastards….”

He won the battle, but in the end, he couldn’t move forward either.

He bit his lip hard at the crushing horror.

Thanks to the support of antidote and doctors, unlike before, the damage caused by the poison was small.

The problem was those who wrote the red gun.

The swords were raised, but the unarmed, herbivorous people rushed toward death like moths to a fire.

As fighters belonging to political factions, they could not use their hands recklessly against civilians.

That was their righteousness and the duty they had kept for the rest of their lives.

The situation was different from that of the Demonic Cult, which ruthlessly killed soldiers and refugees who defined war only as winning or losing.

It was the same with the swordsman who had a martial art that would surpass the world.

His hesitation grew even more when he learned from a man named Amhyang captured by Unam in the first battle that those who wore the red turban were just being used.

I had to incapacitate them by putting circumstances in my hands and take them prisoner, and I had to kill the occasionally mixed enemy drummers like picking out rotten ones from bean sprouts.

So the fatigue piled up and the damage increased.

To make matters worse, the day was going down.

I had to back off now.

Darkness did not benefit anyone who entered the fray.

For now, I had to go back and recover my stamina, and prepare for the fight that will resume when the sun rises.

Having made the decision, Cheol Ji-ryang straightened his back and looked at the commander of the army.

“One hundred thousand.”

“Yes Lord.”

At Cheol Ji-ryang’s call, the military commander next to him answered with a tired expression.

“Even though we couldn’t recover Daedong… First of all, let’s build a defensive line before it gets darker. Please collect the bodies of the dead and assist the wounded to retreat.”

“All right.”

Although Cheolji-ryang was an unmanned soldier, the military commander responded with courtesy.

It was because after the joint operation of Gwanmu, the Murim people became the chiefs of battle by the order of the Crown Prince.

“Light up the fire and set up a wooden fence!”

“yes!”

At Baek Chun-ho’s instructions, the soldiers led their exhausted bodies and built a defensive line.

Stretchers carrying the dead and seriously injured were lined up, and the crippled ones were picked up and driven to the rear.

“Send a call to the rear. Let’s leave the guard to the shift team and step back. If you keep going like this, you will only get more tired. It looks like we should discuss the future battle with the great army.”

“yes.”

At Cheol Ji-ryang’s words, Yang So-bang nodded and gave the order to his subordinate.

Dusk was thick over the empty battlefield with no true winners or losers.

* * *

“Father Meng. The enemy formations are on fire.”

“…”

Only then did Maengbu, a man with a huge double-edged ax slanted on his back, unhinged at the report of his subordinate.

“Whoa, did the battle end here today?”

“…”

Just like Jeongmu-maeng, those who guarded the daedong were feeling the same fatigue.

It is said that the majority of those who died in battle were red guns raised for consumption, but the blood of Maengbu and the warriors he led was not small.

It was because he fought with enemies by participating in more than dozens of battles to defend Daedong.

Amount of sword cast iron.

His inaction was indeed enough to arouse admiration.

I bumped into him several times, wanting to fight, but…

“You damn bastard.”

At that time, Yang So-bang intervened, so I couldn’t see a settlement.

“I’ll have to postpone the fight with Cheol Ji-ryang until later.”

It was at that time when Maengbu looked at the battlefield with regretful eyes and then turned around and headed for the city of Daedong.

“Father Meng!”

“…?”

A man came running quickly.

messenger? What the hell is going on?

“The Great Archer has ordered the main army to advance.”

“The main base?”

“…”

The messenger nodded, and Mengbu’s face was stained with joy.

“It looks like we will arrive near Daedong tomorrow morning. The Daegungju ordered me to lure the soldiers of the Jeongmu Maeng to Naengsan.”

“With cold acid?”

“yes.”

“The reason is?”

“It was not written.”

“Hmm…”

He thought for a moment, then nodded.

There must be some reason.

There was no need for them to question the will of the Grand Palace Master.

That’s how I’ve been taught and trained.

“A woman statue!”

“yes.”

“Prepare the red guns. We will attack as soon as dawn breaks.”

“All right.”

If the great arch lord moved, there was nothing else but an advance.

It is a war without retreat in the first place.

They all knew very well that they would die unless they took the land by killing the enemy.
