Chapter 176

Episode 176Destiny (1)

The Tang Demon Army entered Shandong in ten days.

It would have been faster if I had used the divine method, but if a fight broke out, I would have to fight with low stamina, so I needed to prepare. They traveled entirely on military horses.

Surprisingly, there was no significant disturbance between the two soldiers for ten days.

The fact that there were no conflicts even though they had different affiliations meant that they were well controlled. Of course, as each individual was a carefully selected warrior, they must have had their own degree of restraint.

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.

A cool wind blew over the vast land of Shandong.

“The air is different.”

Because the region is different, the topography is different, and because the topography is different, the climate is also different.

The wind from Shandong was cool yet strangely moist. Although it’s a long way from the beach, I feel like I’m somehow salty.

Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Muk-bi.

Mukbi’s face was oddly stiff.

“Do you even think about the old days?”

“yes?”

“You said Gwanilgok was in Taesan. “I’m asking you if you’re thinking about Gwanilgok.”

Mukbi smiled bitterly.

“It would be a lie if I said I didn’t think about it. “It feels strange.”

Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.

“It’s already a broken relationship. “I can’t help it right now, but it would be better to get into the habit of forgetting in the future.”

“That’s what I plan to do.”

Yeon Ho-jeong slapped Muk-bi on the back.

widely!

“evil! sick!”

“Let’s pack our stomachs and let’s go.”

“Even if you don’t say that, I’m nervous! Oh, it hurts. “He’s just too strong.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s face became a little more serious.

“It’s okay since we’ve been working hand in hand for several months, but if we’re not careful, there could be casualties in the Tangma Army.”

Mukbi’s face also became serious.

“The enemy’s strength is formidable. It has to be that way. “Even if you haven’t learned martial arts, having a thousand trained swordsmen is a threat in itself.”

“Yes. Moreover, they were not divided into different affiliations like we were.”

“That’s it. I heard that the history of the corridor goes back more than ten years. Even if you search through history, there are only a few magic bandits that have grown to that extent in ten years. “If those guys fight as one, they will be stronger than you can imagine.”

Yeon Ho-jeong glanced at Tang Ma-gun.

“Your role in this fight is not to kill the enemy, but to protect your allies.”

Mukbi nodded. Searᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“all right.”

“Is there anyone in the main army who is good at close combat and defense?”

“Okcheong is excellent at defense and Cheokgang is excellent at close combat.”

“I’ll put those two together, so make sure to gain the maximum height before you arrive on the battlefield. When I have some free time, I focus on annihilating the enemy. got it?”

“Exterminating fire after checking fire. I understood.”

“good. I’m counting on you.”

Mukbi looked at Yeonhojeong as if it was unexpected.

“Surprising?”

“what?”

“I’m asking you kindly… I don’t think that’s appropriate for a practitioner.”

Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.

“Even if you have a lot of combat experience, if you have never moved with a large army, you are a beginner. And those newbies became our allies. “It’s natural because our soldiers’ lives depend on it.”

“…Friendly.”

Mu Fei looked around at the Tangma army lined up.

Most of the soldiers who made up Tangma’s army were experts who were already renowned in the rivers and lakes.

As they are experts from all over the world, their ages and personalities are very different. They were exuding considerable military spirit under the strict control of Mo Yong-woo.

‘amazing.’

Mukbi looked at Mo Yongwu.

The sight of Mo Yong-wu looking down at the land of Shandong from a distance was like a painting.

‘Not only is he strong in martial arts, but his ability to control the soldiers under his command is also excellent.’

Now I knew about silence. How difficult it is to control people.

The number of soldiers who make up the Mortal Army is a little less than fifty. In order to control those under the age of 50, Yeon Ho-jeong made them experience actual combat from the beginning.

Nevertheless, there were moments during the training period when things were not properly controlled. Yeon Ho-jeong patiently interacted with them and naturally turned them into elites.

‘Does this mean that the ability to lead a group is actually superior to that of a practitioner?’

Mukbi shook his head inwardly.

I don’t know that yet. However, given Lee Rip’s age, we could not help but acknowledge his ability to control five hundred soldiers with strong personalities in just a few days.

‘Let’s stop thinking about useless things. We came to annihilate the enemy. Just focus on accomplishing the mission.’

While Mukbi was coming to his senses, Yeon Ho-jeong approached Mo Yong-woo.

“Are you going to move right away?”

“That’s right.”

“From now on, it’s a battle of speed. “As this is our first actual battle, we will have to pay attention to controlling the soldiers.”

Mo Yong-woo glanced at Yeon Ho-jeong.

“Was Yeonje like that too?”

“what?”

“I’m just nervous.”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

“I was nervous. “I wonder what if even one of them dies in the first battle.”

“Fortunately, there were no deaths in the Mortal Army.”

“Because the original skills were good. “I was lucky.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.

“But casualties can occur at any time. “Make sure you stay strong.”

“That’s right. “But the problem is that I’m still nervous.”

Mo Yong-woo took a deep breath.

“Now, let’s go.”

“good.”

Hee hee hee!

The two war horses let out a loud roar and stamped their feet vigorously. Then Tangma Murderer’s soldiers each raised their reins.

Rumbling.

The Tang Demon Murder Army that came down the slope ran at a frightening speed.

There are quite a few Baekdo clans in various parts of Shandong. Thanks to the official letter sent by the Murim League, you could receive high-quality food and meals no matter what sect you visited.

Five days passed like that.

The place where the Tang Demon Murder Army, which entered the center of Shandong in an instant, stopped was the Shandong Jinan branch of openness.

“The location has changed.”

“Change?”

“The Corridor Group that was hiding in the Janggu area until a few days ago has disappeared. And the place it reappeared was near Dongyeong.”

Dongying was one of the easternmost counties in Shandong Province, adjacent to the East Sea.

“Why did they suddenly move? “The higher-ups said you would stay for about a month?”

“We don’t know the exact reason yet. However, since they are a bandit group, there is a risk that villages near Dongyeong will be attacked.”

“this.”

“I sent out a map of the area just in case, but I haven’t heard back yet.”

Mo Yong-woo looked at Yeon Ho-jeong.

Yeon Ho-jeong said with a stern face.

“There’s nothing wrong with being careful, but something feels a little uncomfortable.”

It was then.

“Commander.”

The two people turned their heads.

Zhuge Zhenyeon was there. Because the position was vacant, she treated Yeon Ho-jeong with respect.

Zhuge Yan said.

“I said that the Corridor’s power was much greater than I thought, right?”

“It did.”

“There is a fairly famous force located near Dongying, Shandong.”

Mo Yong-woo tilted his head.

“Was there a famous sect in Dongyeong?”

“It’s not a sect, it’s an upper level. The headquarters of the Haeryong Sangdan is located in Dongyeong.”

“…!”

“I think it would be a good idea to contact the Sea Dragon Merchant Marine, just in case. “I’m sure they will help.”

“or.”

Everyone saw Yeonhojeong.

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.

“The Corridor’s target could be the Sea Dragon Merchant Marine.”

Zhuge Zhenyan said with an air of disbelief.

“Haeryong Sangdan is one of the largest in Shandong. If you mess with them, things could get very serious. Would the Corridor really do something like that?”

“I don’t think there is a chance.”

“why?”

“You can tell by looking at Commander Tangma’s reaction.”

Mo Yong-woo narrowed his eyes.

“My reaction?”

“Did you know about the Sea Dragon Company?”

“Oh, of course.”

“But why didn’t you think of the Sea Dragon Company when you heard that the Corridor Group was heading to Dongyeong?”

“That’s…”

Mo Yong-woo was taken aback.

“They are not the martial arts power, but rather the top….”

He could not finish his sentence.

Zhuge Zhen’s face was filled with surprise.

“Did you see it? Most reactions are like this. “If you’re not from the martial arts sect, I don’t pay that much attention to you, no matter how famous the merchants or battlefields are.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.

“In other words, it’s not that strange for the Corridor Group to attack the Sea Dragon Shopping Center.”

“Ha, but the Corridor is a group of magic bandits. There is no way they could have a sense of insight like that of a commander…”

“Whether they have a sense of vision or not, the important thing is that there is a possibility.”

Mo Yong-woo shouted.

“All Tang Demon Slayer Army, prepare to march!”

Hee hee hee!

Tension appeared in the eyes of the soldiers who quickly mounted their horses.

Even going to exterminate a group of magic bandits makes me nervous. Even though it is clear that a proud martial artist would scoff at this.

That’s how well Yeon Ho-jeong and Mo Yong-woo injected the Corridor’s power. In the first place, it was a dangerous enough organization just to have steadily increased its power over the past ten years.

“let’s go!”

Crumbling!

Five hundred and fifty soldiers run at a faster pace than ever before.

Zhuge Yan rode the horse next to Yeon Hojeong.

“If they really mess with the sea dragon top, it’s usually not a big deal!”

Yeon Ho-jeong looked back at Jegal A-yeon.

Zhuge Zhenyan shouted again with an anxious face.

“The Sea Dragon Merchants Company is one of the main axes of commerce in Shandong Province! “If the Sea Dragon Tower collapses, Shandong’s commerce will be shaken, and if Shandong’s commerce will be shaken, Shandong’s Wulin will also be shaken!”

The entire region can be shaken by the rise and fall of one power.

That is the world. It was the same way that a small wind blowing from the south could turn into a storm in the north.

The world has changed that much. Moorim also cannot escape this principle.

“It means we have to stop it at all costs.”

“must!”

How long did it run like that?

“Commander of the Mortal Army!”

Mo Yong-woo shouted.

“It’s urgent! A group of 150 people, presumed to be the Corridor Corps, is heading to Hwaun-ri, southeast of Dongying!”

“Where is the Corridor’s headquarters?”

“In front of Oh Ri (五里) near the top of the Sea Dragon!”

Yeon Ho-jeong gritted his teeth.

‘Those damn guys are giving me a headache.’

Is this also a strategy of the Magic Bandits?

It is an evil tactic to split up any troops that might have followed suit. If it was a black island, there would be no way to attack it, and if it was a white island, there would be no way to tolerate attacks on civilians since they reverence for integrity.

“We’re going to Hwaunri!”

Yeon Ho-jeong and Mo Yong-woo’s eyes collided in midair.

The eyes of two leaders intertwined with unknown trust.

“Get organized and join us right away!”

Yeon Ho-jeong lowered his head.

“I obey the leader’s orders!”

Short commands and clear answers.

Mukbi, who saw the conversation and actions of the two people behind him, felt his heart pounding for no reason.

As if they had been working together for a long time.

As if they had originally promised to do so, it was as if the relationship was between lord and subject.

The sight of the two people giving orders without hesitation and answering as if it were obvious had the magical power of making viewers feel a strange sense of security.

Wooooow!

A pure white energy surged from Yeon Ho-jeong’s body.

Hahaha!

The ferocious and powerful true energy spread out in all directions. It was a wave of fearsome spirit.

Yeon Ho-jeong shouted.

“All members of the Mortal Army ready for battle!”

Chiri riri ring!

With a loud cry that rivaled the roar of the great tiger, all soldiers in the Mortal Death Army drew their weapons.

Tang Ma’s army, including Mo Yong-wu, was shocked. The free prayer he had shown on his way here suddenly turned into murderous ferocity.

The tremendous spirit exuded by the fifty elite soldiers.

It was the overwhelming discipline of the Destruction Army, tempered through countless battles and slaughter, that the Tangma Army does not possess today.

“let’s go!”

The Mortal Army broke away from its ranks and raced towards Hwaun-ri at a frightening speed.
