The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman]

Episode 488

: Hidden.

Literally hiding.

It was established as a martial art after steadily developing over a long period of time because of its great utility to those who collect information.

Stealth, stealth, sleep, etc… and so on.

There are many names to call, but in the end there was only one.

to be invisible to others.

The method is full of cars.

The most basic thing is to be located behind something that can hide the body.

However, large objects that can hide people are not everywhere, so those who are good at stealth learned the bone ball to adjust their bodies to objects.

But even that had its limits.

So the next step was to deceive the eyes.

It hides in the blind spot and the area of indifference.

uh? Who might be hiding over there? I had to choose an object that was so common that I didn’t even feel any suspicion.

And the last stage was assimilation, which is called the flower of hiding.

It goes on the road like an object and turns into a stone that you inadvertently stumble upon.

It’s not about reducing the presence.

Eliminate the smell, get rid of the sound… In any case, it is only when you have the ability to escape even the instinctive senses that humans have that you can become a first-class hermit.

And, incidentally, excellent light air.

It shouldn’t be too fast either.

You must leave no traces, and you must be able to quickly escape when the opponent notices your hiding place.

When all of that is put together, stealth becomes a perfect art.

Hwangshin was such a person.

He was an unmanned member of the Eunwidan who had gone through all of the previous training, and went one step further by becoming the strongest monster on earth.

If you get caught, you’re right.

It really hit me hard.

I was beaten to the point that I just wanted to die.

In order to live, I had no choice but to develop more unconditionally.

Stealth was survival, and the desire for survival made today’s Hwangshin.

And now, Hwangshin showed off his skills to the fullest and headed to the headquarters of the palace.

In broad daylight, with both eyes open, he openly infiltrated the center of the perimeter monitoring the outskirts.

“huh?”

“why?”

“No, just something…”

“It’s bland.”

One of the guards turned his head around as if suspicious, and a reprimand flew at once.

“Open your eyes and be vigilant. after everyone has left Even though Heavenly Power-sama has returned, it will be a big deal if an enemy appears to have attacked the left army.”

“Um, that’s how it should be.”

The guards guarding the outskirts of the camp took a close look at the surroundings again.

However, even if he opened his eyes by tearing them open, he could not find the emperor.

because he’s already gone

Hwangshin, who went deep into the camp, appeared in a deserted place with a satisfied smile.

It was not good to use stealth for too long.

that’s stupid shit

The history is not infinite, and if you want to look at this huge camp all day, you have to consider the cost-effectiveness.

It is to spread stealth by using the small history efficiently.

Well, anyway, we came inside.

Now all you have to do is look.

But for a moment, Hwangshin felt something strange in the conversation between the guards.

everyone leave?

What are you talking about?

But as of now, I didn’t know. I needed more confirmation.

Hiding in the shadow of the tent, Hwangshin secretly examined the surroundings.

In the case of Jin, based on experience so far, there is usually no boundary placed inside.

From the outer defense line to the command space where the enemy’s chiefs were hidden, the boundaries were loose.

You just don’t have to get to the core. With a little attention, you could walk freely.

Hwangshin found the right guy just in time.

The guy who got away from the group and came out to see Sophie.

In such cases, they usually die.

What a pitiful fate…

Shushuu!

“Kkeok….”

The warrior of the Red Army, who was attacked by the Hwangsin, sat down with his pants down, unable to even scream.

There was the sound of a knee hitting the ground, but no one could hear that small sound.

I can’t scream because my throat is pierced. No, even if it does, the sound of the wind escaping is all.

This was the reason Hwangshin always pierced his throat.

Hwang Shin, a silent assassin who listens to everyone else’s voice but thoroughly hides his own voice.

After carefully examining the surroundings, he dragged the body to a secluded place.

It doesn’t have to be found for just one day.

Hwangsin, who took off the clothes of the corpse and changed, tied a red belt tightly around his forehead.

Now, he was no different from the soldiers of the Red Turbans scattered everywhere.

It only takes care where there are people, and where there are no people, it goes around looking for enemy lines with maximum light air.

It didn’t matter if I just wandered around.

All nearby sounds are heard in his ears.

* * *

The time when the sun sets over Seosan and dyes the world red.

“Lord.”

“…”

Chun Woo-myeong and Neung Seo-hyeon, who had just arrived, climbed the stone mountain and approached Jinmu.

“What about the Iron Sword?”

“I put it on standby nearby just in case.”

“Good job.”

Looking over Jinmu’s shoulder, who nodded, Cheon Woo-myeong said with a firm expression.

“It’s the enemy’s stronghold.”

“okay.”

“Damn, that’s a lot. Considering the number of tents, it seems to be tens of thousands, if not less.”

Chun Woo-myeong’s face stiffened with tension in the campsite filled with a vast basin.

It was worth it.

Excluding the wounded who were sent back, the number of Iron Swords now numbered around 200.

It is madness to jump into the camp of tens of thousands of enemies.

It was an impossible number not only for Jinmu but also for the widow.

“What should I do?”

“The emperor went in to inspect the interior.”

“Are you at home?”

“okay.”

Chun Woo-myeong and Neung Seo-hyun looked at each other and made surprised faces.

“You just sent it? In the middle of enemy lines? What might be?”

“They say Ji is the emperor.”

“….”

Then Hwangsin is Hwangsin, or is he expelled?

Seeing the two blinking, unable to understand at all, Jinmu smiled lowly.

“There is such a thing.”

“…”

Neung Seo-hyeon asked at Jinmu, who dismissed their questions in one word.

“Each escort is missing.”

“I went to send the bill.”

“ah!”

yes. It’s pretty dangerous to fly a cipher near the enemy camp, and there must be a base nearby where you can use the cipher.

“If so, does Hwang Ho-wi look inside and move after returning?”

“okay.”

“But there are too many of them to break through the enemies and burn their food like before?”

“…”

“A campsite like that would have food storage in several places.”

“that’s right.”

“In the end, we have no choice but to wait for support from the midfielder Murim, who received the letter from each escort.”

“maybe.”

Jinmu only added Chuimsae.

It was because Neung Seo-hyun was spitting out the words he was trying to say.

“Anyway, wait for the emperor. But just in case you don’t know, Seohyun, keep an eye on the battlefield. Woomyung told the Iron Sword Team to be ready to move at any time. If something happens to the emperor, we must start attacking immediately, day or night.”

“yes.”

“All right.”

Neung Seo-hyeon, who received the order, moved to carry out the surveillance mission, and Cheon Woo-myeong moved to convey the order to the Iron Swordsman.

Jinmu, who was able to relieve eye fatigue by entrusting Neung Seo-hyeon with surveillance of the battlefield, stared at the campsite with a worried look.

It was quiet.

Enemies resting with lights lit everywhere looked so peaceful.

One place that may become the final battlefield.

Indeed, it is a tranquility worthy of its name. But the calm now will be the one before the storm.

Half a day is left from the time of the day promised by the Hwangshin.

I will be back when the day is bright.

It shouldn’t be too much…

Jinmu, who was worried, suddenly choked out.

How funny.

He didn’t want to build affection with anyone except King Sapaeo, but it seemed that he had fallen in love with the emperor.

Come to think of it, not only Punghwan, but also Jeongmu Chilseong, as well as many shamans and shamans, Cheongsang and Cheongwoo.

Dang Se-ryeong, who is not hateful even though he is a gag, and Buk-ri Do-cheon, the old enemy he wanted to kill all his life.

From the crown prince who left a terrible job to himself while dreaming of becoming a saint, to the teacher who doesn’t seem to hurt even if he puts it in his eyes.

More ties have been made in this short life than in 80 years.

I heard that as you get older, you get more janjeong, is it because of that?

Yes, the life you live again can’t be the same as the past.

I am also interested in the life of a guru.

In any case, he stood at the highest position of Jeongsama, which he had not been able to rise to in the past.

The midfield has become precious now.

I’ve never had anything stolen from me before.

The palace bastards who come to the place where my life should be, and pamper myself.

No matter what your goals were or what your grudges were in the past, the method was wrong in the first place.

I do not dare to hand over even a piece of useless land to those of you who dared to use the lives of others and put to death children and women and old people in front of my eyes and in my hearing.

Daegungju and the Hong Geon, a bunch of people following their will.

will surely ask for guilt.

The bodies of the limbs will be torn apart and scattered in the fields to fill the stomachs of the beasts and to quench their thirst with their blood.

In the eyes of Jinmu, who was staring at the palace’s campsite, his life was young.

* * *

Hwangshin’s eyes, which scanned the inside of the camp, added fierceness and his movements became faster and faster.

As time passed, he became more and more perplexed.

empty

Most of the tents that filled the meadow were empty.

What happened?

If you vacated the campsite and gathered somewhere else, there is no way you wouldn’t be caught in his sensitive hearing.

this is not there

It’s just an empty tent to make it look like there are a lot of them.

where did you go? What if they emptied their headquarters?

There is still a little bit left until the time we promised with Heavenly Father.

From the previous day to the night that came again, my body was getting tired from running without rest while practicing stealth, but I needed to get more detailed information.

Only then could God make the right judgment.

The life of the Iron Blade depends on his information.

If you attack without fully grasping the enemy’s situation, you may be caught in the enemy’s dark world.

Take a closer look.

God has warned us severely, but we must go a little deeper inside.

This is Gunjin.

To enter the camp where the high-ranking officials stayed, they had to cross another boundary.

The vigilance was going to be strict, and there would be a lot of masters, but I had to dig up information from the right guy, not the chaff.

The emperor paused for a moment to catch his breath. It was because you couldn’t do fortune-telling while hiding.

But it was still bearable.

If you use the remaining energy as efficiently as possible…

Hwangshin, who has estimated the strength left to the limit, closes his eyes and focuses all his attention on his hearing.

Fire.

The sound of torches flicking their tongues.

stab.

night worm.

And the voices of people talking.

He had to distinguish the numerous sounds that reached his ears and distinguish them again to find only the sounds he needed.

And found.

The cries of the heavenly power they had been chasing could be clearly heard.

There was still a long way to hear it properly.

I had to get to a place where I could tell the conversation apart.

Hwangshin, who looked around once, quickly flew towards the place where the sound came from.
