Episode 1541. Isn’t that good? (One)
The circumstances of the opening were terrible.
Hong Dae-gwang’s face was completely black and dying.
“Here’s a report! Sapa appeared near Nanjing. The number is estimated to be under thirty!”
“It’s a report that people presumed to be Hao Mun from Handan are attacking a nearby sect! “The number of enemies is unknown!”
“It’s urgent! Enemy attack! A report has arrived that there is an enemy attack in Xuzhou! The identity and number of the enemy is unknown!”
“Wow, this is crazy…”
Hong Dae-gwang’s eyes trembled as he saw the unfolding battle of Jungwon unfolding in front of him.
Everywhere on the large map turns red. Even at this moment, the number of places said to have been attacked by the enemy is gradually increasing.
It was as if they were going to completely cover the central plain north of the Yangtze River.
“ark!”
“Noisy! “You think!”
Hong Dae-gwang shouted and chewed his lips.
‘How on earth?’
My blood cools.
Pungyeongsingae, who was silently watching Hong Dae-gwang, not knowing what to do, let out a short breath. It’s a young new ark, so it’s understandable to be embarrassed. He was just about to open his mouth to calm Hong Dae-gwang.
“Collect the reports that came in!”
A quick and clear voice burst from Hong Dae-gwang’s mouth.
“The first thing to figure out is the number of enemies. Among the places where there have been reports of being attacked by enemies, select the places where the number of enemies has not been reported and send a mission to them! No matter the means! Mobilize whatever you have, special or whatever, and figure out the number of enemies first! right now!”
“yes!”
“As soon as the numbers are known, mobilize the Sangbo Pavilion and find out the distribution of the Sa Sect that has infiltrated Gangbuk!”
Before the answer could be answered, Hong Dae-gwang quickly added instructions.
“Without waiting for the analysis results, we will prioritize the location where the number of enemies has been identified and report it to the Cheonwoomaeng! Ignore all forms and systems! We must report this situation by any means possible using the fastest means possible. “Every time there is additional information, pass it on!”
“yes!”
Beggars rush out in unison.
“ark! “What about the nine factions?”
“Mobilize the remaining Jeonseo-gu and manpower and let them know there!”
“But, the ark. “Opening is already a coincidence…”
“You bastard! Is affiliation important now when people’s lives are at stake? “How have you been living with that kind of attitude?”
When Hong Dae-kwang suddenly got angry, the thoughtful beggar quickly lowered his head.
“S-sorry!”
“Go and do something when it’s time to apologize! Hurry up! Even if you are late for just one moment, there is no turning back!”
“yes!”
In the meantime, Hong Dae-gwang’s outlook on Jungwon continued to turn red.
‘Damn…’
Although Hong Daegwang is an ark of openness, I honestly did not expect Sangbogak to provide a proper analysis.
If the opening had the ability to do so in the first place, it would not have been left behind by Shaolin even though it had such an information advantage.
So, all he has to do is reveal it in detail and convey it. The solution will be taken by Chun Woo-maeng, not him.
“⋯⋯Please do something, Volcano God Dragon.”
My lower lip, bitten tightly with nervousness, turned white.

King Hyeonjong muttered as if he was mesmerized by the succession of letters flying in.
“This, this….”
The situation happened so suddenly that I felt like my mind stopped working for a moment.
At that time, Tang Gunak’s eyes quickly turned to Lim So-byeong.
“Green Forest King! The enemy…”
“for a moment.”
However, Lim So-byeong resolutely silenced Tang Gunak. He was lost in thought, kneading the fan in his hand as if he were going to break it, and soon nodded his head.
“According to the facts reported so far, it appears that the Sapa faction that was staying in Zhangjiajie and the Sapa forces that remained in Gangnam crossed the river in large numbers and crossed into Gangbuk.”
It’s pretty obvious up to this point.
“Looking at the situation, instead of moving in large numbers, the enemy appears to have divided into small groups and spread throughout Gangbuk. We need a response to this situation!”
Everyone fell silent for a moment. However, Jo Geol-man shouted as if he did not understand.
“Oh, no, is that possible? “You’re not all blind, but no one knew when these Sapa bastards were coming into Gangbuk?”
“it’s possible.”
“I don’t intend to deny what happened, but I don’t understand what happened. Unless we’re missing something…!”
“Is it possible.”
“Cheongmyeong?”
Cheongmyeong, who was sitting in a chair with his arms crossed with a stiff expression on his face, opened his mouth.
“It would be difficult under normal circumstances. “The number of strong players is small, but even so, it is impossible to avoid all of them when they are spread out across the entire central plain.”
“I know yeah!”
“okay. “If it’s spread throughout the midfield.”
At that moment, Jo Geol’s face hardened. I understood the meaning of Cheongmyeong.
“What the Musketeer said is correct.”
Lim So-byeong elaborated for those who did not yet understand.
“It is impossible to monitor the entire Yangtze River in the first place, but even if the Yangtze River were to be breached, it would not be a big problem. As the Commander-in-Chief said, exhibitions like this are not only open to the public, but the eyes of all martial arts people become a surveillance network.”
Several people nodded. Isn’t that obvious common sense?
What they saw will be passed on to the nearby Daemun Sect, and that Daemun Sect will open up and spread it throughout the world. This was the true meaning of Cheonnajimang (天羅地網), as evidenced by Kangho’s history.
“But not now. “Now…”
Danggunak followed Lim So-byeong’s words.
“Because all the powerful people are gathered in one place.”
“Exactly.”
Cheon Woo-maeng and Gupa.
The two places competed with each other to attract small and medium-sized literary groups. Originally, those who would have revealed the enemy’s whereabouts in exchange for their lives ended up emptying their homes.
Lim So-byeong caught a glimpse of Tang military music.
“And… even the civilians living along the Yangtze River moved in large numbers.”
Tang Gunak muttered with a stern face.
“But no matter how far it goes…”
“Because it’s not the majority.”
“What does that mean?”
“If the invading enemy unit is a sect, it is difficult to hide the entry into Gangbuk itself, whether by crossing the river or through Sacheon. This is the same even if it is not one sect but one clan or clan. “If only ten people had gathered, we would have been caught.”
Lim So-byeong’s gaze turned to Cheongmyeong. It was a strangely cool look.
“But if the number is extremely small, even if it is an enemy camp, it is possible to infiltrate without being detected. That’s something we’ve already proven. “The defeated army must have found out for sure.”
“But wasn’t that possible because the people who went to Haenam were outstanding?”
“no. It’s actually easier for Sapa.”
In response to Hyeonjong’s question, Lim So-byeong declared.
“Gangnam is a land where political factions cannot set foot. No matter how much you disguise yourself, it is difficult to completely hide that energy and awkwardness. So it has to be completely invisible to people.”
“I guess so.”
“But Sapa already exists in Gangbuk. No, you don’t have to go far to find greenery.”
Yes. Hyeonjong had no choice but to harden his face and agree.
Even if someone had discovered enemies moving in groups, they wouldn’t have found it particularly strange.
After the Yangtze River Disaster, such scenes became a daily occurrence in Gangbuk.
“But…”
Taang.
The moment Jo Geol opened his mouth to ask another question, Cheongmyeong tapped the table with his palm. As all eyes met, he spoke in a cold voice.
“It doesn’t matter how we attacked. “It has already happened, all that remains is how to respond.”
Everyone agreed. I was so shocked that I spoke for a long time, but as Cheongmyeong said, I can’t afford to do this now.
Cheongmyeong gestured to Lim So-byeong.
“say it. “What should I do?”
“You must not move.”
Seol So-baek was startled by Lim So-byeong’s words and shouted.
“Aren’t we gathered now to stop them? But it doesn’t move? Even in the midst of all this…”
“yes. “The civilians will die.”
Lim So-byeong cut off Seol So-baek’s words as if he already knew.
“But we are moving to suppress this situation. That is the enemy’s intention.”
“A little more detail.”
“Now that the Sapa Rebellion has broken out throughout the central plains, we must stop them. But to block all those places, of course we have to split our strength. If that happens, the system will collapse.”
“⋯⋯.”
“In the first place, dispersing power is the worst thing in the art of war. In particular, such finely divided forces have no power in large-scale collisions. There is only one reason why Jang Il-so does such a stupid thing. “We also need to disperse.”
“Hmm.”
Tanggunak let out a sigh. Lim So-byeong continued.
“They will advance through that gap. If our system collapses at that time, we will have to endure much greater damage than expected. What we have to deal with is not those clumsy bastards scattered everywhere, but the main force of those who stay in Zhangjiajie. “Don’t forget.”
Unlike usual, Lim So-byeong’s voice is extremely firm. It was almost like a threat to not give a different opinion.
All the senior officials were deeply worried.
“You won’t have to wait that long. The main force of the Sapae League in Zhangjiajie will definitely move. It’s nothing short of a battle of patience. “Whoever moves first loses.”
Cheongmyeong, with his arms crossed, chuckled as if he couldn’t hold back his laughter.
“My house is on fire, but whoever moves first loses?”
“yes.”
“And what if you burn to death?”
“Is it any different from being stabbed to death?”
Their gazes briefly collided in the air.
After a while, surprisingly, it was Cheongmyeong who retreated. He sank back into his chair and closed his eyes.
Instead, Baekcheon opened his mouth.
“The King of Green Forest. No, military.”
“You tell me. “Mr. Jangmun.”
“According to reports, attacks are taking place in all directions, but the number of each appears to be not that large.”
“That’s right. So, take the bait…”
“Then can’t we respond with only a small number of people?”
“⋯⋯.”
“If only one or two factions were devoted separately…”
“It’s not possible.”
Baekcheon stared at Lin Xiaobyeong with heavy energy. But Lim So-byeong was still as resolute as a sword.
“We will not take any response until the main force of the SPA Alliance moves forward.”
“Military!”
“More people will die! Don’t you know!”
In the end, Lim So-byeong’s sharp voice rang loudly. Even Ogeum, who was secretly sympathizing with Baekcheon, flinched and bit his lip gently.
Lim So-byeong took a long breath as if cooling his feverish head.
“⋯⋯In the end, those who are invading now will be like salt poured into the sea. It may seem great now, but we can’t do anything with that amount of money. I understand Manager Jang Moon’s feelings. But let’s wait a little longer.”
Baekcheon looked at Lim So-byeong with sharp eyes and sighed. No matter what is right, this is a war situation, and the authority of Lim So-byeong, who holds a military position, cannot be undermined.
“All right.”
Lim So-byeong held the fan in his hand tightly.
“Paegun is not a very relaxed person. Once it moves, it will try to move more destructively than before. So just be patient. “The moment it moves, I will definitely counterattack.”
It was a declaration, something close to an oath. And the thing that was most deeply contained within it was hatred towards Jang Il-so.
Knowing this fact well, the senior leaders of Tianyu Meng could only nod their heads.
It was right then.
“Here’s a report! “This is a special letter from Gyeongjae!”
“What is it about?”
The one who burst through the door was Kwak Hoi. After becoming thoughtful, he read the notebook he was holding. Even though he tried desperately to suppress it, his hands were shaking.
“Now, Sapa is crossing in large numbers from the south of the Yangtze River!”
“what?”
“The number of ships cannot be measured as they are more than a few hundred! “The location is…”
Everyone held their breath as if they had made a promise.
Soon, Kwak Hoi’s voice broke out.
“From Agyang (岳阳) to Sangju (常州). Now, this is the entire Yangtze River!”
It felt like lightning had struck the conference room.
“Now, the entire Yangtze River? “Is that true!”
“yes!”
Cheongmyeong’s eyes slowly looked beyond the window. The darkness that had enveloped the world was dissipating and dawn was coming. Cheongmyeong bit her lip.
“Well…”
The red dawn that announced the morning now looked like an ominous fire that would consume the world in Cheongmyeong’s eyes.
‘Jang Il-so.’
Cheongmyeong’s gaze turned south. Terrible hatred boiled in those eyes.
