Episode 1721 You can’t not lose it. (One)
When Hu Jiaming slowed his pace for a moment and looked back, he saw the army of Sapaelian following behind him.
lost.
It is an undeniable fact. It is true that we inflicted significant damage on the enemy, but the damage suffered by us was too much to avoid with that alone.
Now that the goal we set in the first place has been frustrated, there is no way to deny the two words “defeat.”
However, strangely, the appearance of the soldiers who followed behind seemed somewhat distant from the remnants of the defeated army. I can feel a strong determination and a sense of despair.
I know the nickname. What is the source of those cold eyes?
‘We were defeated, but the defeated army was not defeated. ‘I guess that’s what you think.’
Actually, it’s not even a funny story. The defeat of Sapaeryeon means the defeat of Jang Il-so. No amount of words can avoid that comment.
But at this moment, that shy face is clearly showing its power. I don’t know about others, but at least it is certain for the practitioners of Sapaeryeon.
That might be… … .
Hu Jiaming’s eyes turned to Jang Ilso, who was walking ahead.
‘Have you thought about this in advance?’
What would have happened if Jang Il-so had acknowledged his mistake and punished Ho Ga-myeong? It would have been possible to clarify the punishment for personal injury, but it would have been an admission that this battle was an irreparable mistake.
Perhaps that is why Jang Il-so did not acknowledge it and instead used force to suppress the opposition. Even to the point of trampling on thousands of investigative officials.
Regardless of whether it was right or wrong, it seemed clear that the sight made a strong impression on those who were immersed in a sense of defeat.
“Ryeonju.”
Even though he knew this, Hu Jiaming cautiously called Jang Ilso.
Jang Il-so did not hold him responsible, but he himself could not have known what he had done.
Jang Il-so just turned his gaze and caught a glimpse of Hu Ji-myeong.
“Did you have something to say, pseudonym?”
“Ryeonju. The investigation of Cheonmyeon… … .”
“iced coffee.”
Jang Il-so waved his hand roughly as if he was chasing away a mosquito. He didn’t seem to feel the need to say anything more about it.
“Don’t worry. “Well, it wasn’t that hard to do, right?”
“He is a man who knows the current trends, but he is also a man who does not forget grudges. He must remember this… … .”
“Someday you will get revenge, right?”
“… … That’s right.”
Jang Il-so chuckled.
“‘Someday.’ You sound carefree in this yard, pseudonym. Do you think he has time for that?”
“… … .”
“Not only for him, but for us as well. “Stories from such a distant future have no value.”
The corners of Jang Il-so’s long eyes narrowed. There was a gloomy energy at the end.
“The important thing is now. No, it will be right next time.”
Hu Jiaming nodded heavily.
Brother Cheonmyeon will certainly not forget today’s events, but he will not be able to take any action for the time being. Because we lost too many disciples in this battle.
“But that doesn’t mean the problem is over, Lord Ryeon.”
“hmm?”
“After investigating the situation, I found out that the Sun Palace Lord had a bitter grudge against Hao Wenju. This… … .”
“Tsk tsk tsk.”
Jang Il-so clicked his tongue as if he was pathetic.
“Do you have to be so narrow-minded to write this? “This is why they are Sapa bastards.”
“Shouldn’t we solve it somehow?”
“what. “Leave it alone.”
“Ryeonju… … .”
Of course, Hu Jiamyeong is not in a position to speak directly to Jang Ilso right now. However, even though he knew it, Hu Jiaming thought that this was truly a serious matter enough to keep his mouth shut.
Isn’t it a situation where we have already lost the Godfather of Mangeum and the Black Dragon King? Now, Hao Wenju and Sun Palace Lord are important forces that Sapeilian cannot afford to lose.
However, if the Sun Palace lord is unable to suppress his resentment and begins to antagonize the Cheonmyeon monk, there is a high possibility that the anger of the Cheonmyeon monk, who has already been humiliated by Jang Il-so, will be directed towards the Sun Palace lord.
If the two hold a grudge against each other and become hostile, this could seriously threaten the existence of the SPA.
“Wouldn’t it be possible for the Sapaeryun to be divided?”
When asked about his family name, Jang Il-so gave an interested look.
“Hmm, pseudonym.”
“Yes, Lord Ryeon.”
“Please don’t disappoint me.”
“… … .”
“I don’t blame anyone who fails. But I hate to see someone who has become worthless because of failure.”
Hu Jiaming’s head lowered slightly.
“The division, the resentment… … .”
Jang Il-so, who was muttering, had a deep red sneer on his face.
“That has no meaning anymore. All that remains is who will survive. Who wins? who… … .”
Jang Il-so, who was speechless for a moment, looked back. I was gazing at Wudang Mountain, faintly bathed in dawn.
“Now is the time to put an end to it. “He and I will have to fight with everything we have left.”
“Ryeonju.”
Jang Il-so laughed softly.
I said it was time to come to an end, but strictly speaking, that was wrong. It’s probably true that there’s no room left to relax.
“No need to worry. The arrangement is over. Although we lost badly… … “Thanks to you, I got what I needed.”
A moment of doubt flashed across Hu Jiaming’s eyes.
What you must get? Was there such a thing?
However, Jang Il-so just smiled, lost in thought, as if he had no intention of resolving the question.
‘I was wrong… … .’
Maybe so. but.
“Just because I was wrong… … There is no guarantee that you are right. “Isn’t that right?”
There was a deep gloom in the two light-colored eyes.
‘We will meet again soon.’
At that time, neither of us would be able to survive like we do now. Now all that remains is a final fight in which only one person will survive.
* * *
“No, why are they… … .”
Mo Yong Wei-gyeong looked in despair at the Sapae-ryeon moving away from Wudang Mountain.
Anyway, the battle was over, and that fact alone made me want to shout for national independence, but on the other hand, I was uneasy because I could not understand why they were so obediently withdrawing.
‘Should we chase?’
It was a reflexive thought that came to mind as soon as he saw the retreating figure, but Mo Yongwijing quickly shook his head.
Those who remained here have not yet joined the volcano or the core forces that climbed the cliff. In the meantime, if the remaining people pursue recklessly, they may face a severe counterattack.
“army… … buy.”
Mo Yong-wi, unable to do anything about his confused mind, called Lim So-byeong. Of course, I hesitated because the word ‘military’ didn’t come out in my mouth.
“Have they really retreated?”
Unlike Mo Yong Wi-gyeong, who clearly looked embarrassed, Lim So-byeong even seemed calm at first glance.
“You are seeing it with your own eyes.”
“Oh, no, why? “They’re not in such a disadvantageous situation right now.”
“War is all about fraud. And the Sapa bastards must have already figured out that the Sapae-ryeon intentionally sacrificed the troops on the cliff because they were dead bodies.”
“… … .”
“Continuing the battle in the meantime will only lead to more meaningless sacrifices. “It is strategically right to reorganize.”
“Well, then maybe… … .”
Moyongwigyeong, who was about to ask something more, shook his head first.
What he wanted to ask was whether there was a possibility that a rebellion would break out within the Sapaeryeon due to this incident. However, it seemed unlikely that there would still be anyone in the Sapaeryun who was great enough to commit treason against that defeated army.
“No, even so, does this make sense? “If they step back like this, they will have to lose a lot, right?”
Moyongwigyeong is also the head of a family. He was not a person without eyes to see the board. Lim So-byeong opened his mouth to his question.
“That is correct. They swallowed poison from this battle. “It is a deadly poison that cannot be deciphered.”
“That’s what I said. But why… … .”
“Do you know how an addicted person wins a fight?”
Lim So-byeong, who asked the question, answered without waiting for Mo Yong-wi-gyeong to respond.
“The goal is to plunge the knife into the opponent’s throat before the poison spreads.”
“Well, what is that… … . So even if you win, won’t you end up dying too? If it’s a poison that there’s no way to detoxify. Can you call that a victory?”
Lim So-byeong glanced at Mo Yong-wi-gyeong.
I don’t have the confidence to speak in a way that he can understand. He will not understand. Sometimes there are people in the world who don’t particularly value their own lives. Sometimes, there are people who laugh and throw away their lives to destroy something.
“Anyway, one thing is certain.”
Lim So-byeong took a long breath and saw the Sapae-ryeon army moving away. No, maybe someone beyond that.
“Now they don’t have time anymore. maybe… … Now I’m going to put everything on the line. “It will be an all-out offensive with no way out.”
Mu Yongwijing’s face turned pale.
They are retreating.
However, after listening to Lim So-byeong’s words, it does not seem like a simple retreat. Just as the water on the coast recedes like an ebb tide before a huge tsunami, they too will become even bigger waves and come crashing down.
“Well, anyway, looking at the situation, don’t we have the advantage? “I caused great damage to them this time.”
“well.”
Lim So-byeong’s reaction was lukewarm. No, rather, his eyes even darkened. Moyong Wei-gyeong widened his eyes and stared at him.
Right now, one question was filling Lim So-byeong’s mind.
‘Why?’
If you remove Cheongmyeong from the Hwasan Sword Association, you can win. That may have definitely been the right choice locally.
But was it really necessary for Jang Il-so to take on that role?
The intention of the title name is clear. However, can it be said that Ho Ga-myeong’s intentions are necessarily consistent with Jang Il-so’s intentions?
So what on earth was Jang Il-so trying to gain from this incident?
Wow.
Lim So-byeong’s fan gradually gave way due to his grip.
‘House name, and Jang Il-so.’
No matter how the war was won or lost, and what they were trying to achieve, Lim So-byeong knows.
The most unsightly person in this battle was none other than himself.
‘Whatever you are aiming for… … Next time it will be different.’
A bright blue flower bloomed in his eyes.
* * *
“Master.”
The blood palace lord slowly looked back.
Even with the bandage wrapped around his face again, a thick discomfort still seemed to be oozing out.
“Can I leave like this?”
“What do you have to say?”
“… … It may be okay once, but if this happens twice, the prestige of the religion will fall to the ground. If they dare to look down on the church… … .”
The blood palace lord said nothing. Then, Hobeop, who had opened her mouth, bit her lip gently and hesitated before speaking again.
“Besides, the orders… … . No, if it is known that he jumped into enemy territory without consultation and escaped without a word, then his relationship with the Sapaeryun… … . “Wow!”
At that moment, the blood palace lord’s hand grasped the protector’s neck. Her disfigured face was clearly visible even through the red bandage.
“You’re so rambling.”
“school… … school… main… … . “Kruk.”
“Do you know what seongi is and are talking about it? “He’s as bad as this earthworm.”
Wow!
The blood palace lord pushed away the head of the guard he was holding and glared at the guard who was sitting on the ground and out of breath. I was so frustrated that I couldn’t stand it.
‘Damn it.’
If you think about it, what Protector said was not wrong.
‘how should… … .’
It was at that time when my mind was becoming complicated.
“This is so pathetic.”
An unfamiliar voice came from nowhere near him.
A shiver ran down my spine. The blood palace lord quickly turned his gaze away.
yet.
“Da, you?”
A voice full of astonishment burst from the blood palace lord’s mouth. Deep confusion and fear flooded the eyes revealed between the bandages.
