Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 564 Separating the battle line (4)

Hu Yao-seong’s eyes sank solemnly.

‘also.’

After receiving the report, he could not hide his dismay.

“Are you saying you won’t just suffer?”

It’s not that I didn’t care about the Seven Great Gates and the Three Great Families. But I didn’t know it would stay well like this.

‘amazing.’

Whether intentional or unintentional.

We engaged in a fierce battle with this side, completely excluding them.

I can’t say that it’s surprising that they responded that much, but what’s even more amazing is that they deceived even themselves and the religious leader by holding their attention until the end.

‘No. There is an absurdity in saying that I cheated. It’s just that we were overly optimistic.’

Moreover, the Seven Great Gates Sect and the Three Great Families had already been properly scolded by Xiliang. Will I be able to defeat someone who has already defeated me twice?

In other words, a trend was created that had no choice but to gradually exclude the Seven Great Gates and the Three Great Families.

‘I’m sorry, leader.’

Whatever the reason, it was entirely the general’s fault for not responding properly to their movements.

‘It doesn’t feel very good to pay back what was done to you, but…’

There’s nothing I can do about it now.

The leader knows what he knows, so he is probably heading to Iron Blood Castle by now. Perhaps he has already arrived thanks to his martial arts skills.

‘Please take charge of the fight there, sir.’

Hu Yaosheng turned his eyes to the west of the map.

As long as it’s like this, I’ll go until the end. Since a battle without lines has already begun on the other side, we have no choice but to wage an all-out war without mercy on this side as well.

“Commander General.”

“hmm?”

“President Shameless has arrived.”

Hu Yaosheng’s eyes sparkled.

“Take it.”

After a while, Kang Woo-kyung came into the office.

Hu Yaosheng dominated.

“long time no see.”

“It’s like that.”

Kang Woo-kyung’s appearance had changed greatly.

The body hidden under the loose clothing was full of tightly condensed muscles, perhaps because of all the training that had been delayed.

No matter how much of an expert he was in his inner strength, it was almost impossible for an old man in his twilight years to build a body like that.

He must not have rested even for a single day from the effort of literally cutting his bones and coughing up blood.

“sorry. To get things done quickly, it would have been better to just communicate by letter, but since the matter was serious, I wanted to meet in person. “Thank you for your hardships on your journey.”

“No. “I feel refreshed after breathing outside air for the first time in a long time.”

“Please sit down first. As for the tea…”

“Could you please give me a cup of oyster tea?”

An unexpected expression appeared on Hu Yaosheng’s face.

“An excavator truck?”

“You know? This is the person who made food in Protestantism for many years. “I didn’t really like it at first, but now that I’ve left Protestant church, I miss that scent.”

“Haha, I understand.”

After a while, an excavator truck was placed between the two people.

Kang Woo-gyeong had a look of confusion on his face.

“Once I smelled it, I didn’t want to touch it. Should I just leave it as a memory?”

“Shall we raise it to another car?”

“It’s okay. “Why don’t you try it?”

When I take a sip of tea, I wake up. Kang Woo-kyung continued to blink.

“The awakening effect is incredible. “It seems much more intense than washing your face when you’re sleepy.”

“That’s why I use it often.”

“When you get old, you can’t sleep. “Sleep a lot while you’re young.”

The atmosphere was much more friendly than expected.

In fact, Ho Yo-seong thought that Kang Woo-kyung was a person worthy of respect.

Some people may criticize him as a person who does not know the shame of not only losing, but also going to the point of embarrassment.

However, the person who crushed Kang Woo-kyung was none other than Lee Cheon-sang. In front of Lee Cheon-sang, neither defeat nor acceptance could be considered shameful.

Besides, he didn’t live with his tail curled up. Surprisingly, he made a deal with Lee Cheon-sang.

Regardless of who proposed it first, the fact that it was possible to make a deal with Gogeumjeilma was in itself proof of Kang Woo-kyung’s great courage. This was the reason why Ho Yo-seong was so kind to Kang Woo-kyung.

“Looking at your face, I guess it would be difficult to pass the time by talking about trivial matters?”

“sorry. Because the issue is the issue.”

“I understand.”

Kang Woo-kyung smiled and asked.

“So, for what reason did you call an old man who has become an old man all the time?”

Hu Yaosheng spoke bluntly.

“I wanted to make a request.”

“If it was an ordinary request, a letter would have been enough, right?”

“That’s right.”

“Who is the target?”

“I am the crown prince.”

For a moment, Kang Woo-kyung’s eyes sank.

“Crown Prince Zhou Tianyang?”

“That’s right.”

“…Hmm.”

Kang Woo-kyung was silent for a moment.

The fingers on the table keep twitching. I never imagined it would be such an enormous request.

But he didn’t ask why he was asking me to kill him or why he was asking such an unreasonable request at this time.

Kang Woo-kyung, who was deep in thought, soon sighed.

“The Crown Prince… The Crown Prince…”

“….”

“I don’t know the details, but the Crown Prince is the other party’s top priority for protection.”

“That’s right.”

“They probably built a wall like Cheolongseong Fortress.”

“Of course I will.”

Kang Woo-kyung’s eyes deepened.

“I understand why you asked to see it in person.”

King Cheon Ha-jin, who died several years ago, was the emperor of the assassin world in name and reality.

But before he was a assassin, he was a drone. Because his martial arts skills were outstanding and his understanding of the art of killing was unrivaled, he could be proudly called the King of Salsuji.

In other words, to be precise, Cheon Ha-jin was the person with the best ‘killing ability’ in the world. He never even showed any actions or words worthy of a assassin.

Kang Woo-kyung was different.

He was a person who lived up to 100 percent of what people thought of as a assassin.

An assassin who operates in the shadows. The fog of death that secretly sneaks in and cuts off the target’s head before even discussing the level of martial arts.

Kang Woo-kyung deserves to be called the king of assassins of his time. He was blocked in front of Li Cheon-sang, but until then, no one knew that he had infiltrated the Demon God Palace.

“I’ll start with the conclusion.”

Kang Woo-kyung spoke in a voice heavier than ever.

“I’ll give it a try. All I can do. But don’t get your hopes up.”

It was a surprising statement.

They offered to help him free of charge for ten years, but it was still a matter of assassinating the crown prince. It was completely understandable if the request was rejected.

Hu Yaosheng smiled.

“thank you. “I will never forget the elder’s decision.”

“Whoa, this is it. “It’s going to be extremely busy.”

“But my point is not over.”

“hmm? “What do you mean it’s not over?”

“I only said that the target of my request was the crown prince, but I did not ask him to be killed.”

Kang Woo-kyung’s eyes sparkled.

“Don’t kill me?”

“Didn’t the old man just say that? “I can’t guarantee the results.”

“It did.”

“Attack the crown prince. I know very well that just asking to be the subject of the action is too much.

But if that happens, won’t all the foundation you have be blown away?”

Kang Woo-kyung tilted his head.

“What do you want from me?”

“Please attack. “By mobilizing all the forces in the world.”

“….”

“But please step down at the critical moment.”

“Hoo.”

Kang Woo-kyung smiled.

“Would you like me to play the role of a biting wild dog?”

Ho Yaoseong smiled at him.

There are not many smart or quick-witted people in the world. It was fortunate that one of them was our friend Kang Woo-kyung.

“The crown prince is the enemy’s highest priority for protection, and at the same time, he is a very formidable person.

Maybe Damsayoung would like it better if the crown prince were dead. “Even the Crown Prince is dead. He may want to become emperor himself.”

“You are dangerous. Truly.”

“But I cannot commit the atrocity of killing the crown prince with my own hands. Of course. “For Damsayoung, the crown prince will still be a card worth using.”

“hmm.”

“There is nothing we can do about death, but it is something that must be prevented at all costs. “That is what being a crown prince is to Damsayoung.”

It was an accurate insight.

Kang Woo-kyung tilted his head.

“Does this mean that you respect the crown prince even if it is because of what others think?”

“That’s right. Furthermore, it is a relationship where the crown prince listens to whatever he wants, as long as it is not unreasonable.”

“then…?”

“That’s right.”

Hu Yaosheng smiled coolly.

“It is best for the crown prince not to die but to constantly face the threat of death.”

Kang Woo-kyung’s eyes wavered.

“You were a much scarier person than I thought.”

“Is that so.”

“I would have understood if you had asked me to kill the crown prince. But they think of you, Damsayoung, and the crown prince as nothing more than pawns.”

Hu Yaosheng’s smile became bitter.

“They have given up the fight to not cross the line. In that case, there is no reason for this side to hold on to a line that the enemy does not follow.”

“….”

“Furthermore, my master is the religious leader. I am an ugly person who disloyally uses the title of Commander-in-Chief as an excuse to use the title of Commander-in-Chief as an excuse to use the title of Commander-in-Chief as an excuse.

“Compared to that, the crown prince is nothing special.”

I’m serious. Kang Woo-kyung read the sincerity in Ho Yo-seong’s words.

‘That is why.’

Kang Woo-kyung thought.

‘Because he is a person who can say such dangerous things, he may be the most loyal subject to the Lord Seo.’

Ho Yaoseong asked.

“Would you like to?”

“possible? “Isn’t this not about killing? It’s about making the enemy tremble with fear.”

Kang Woo-kyung slightly lifted his chin.

The dignity of the owner of Shameless Temple, a shadowy assassin group and the most dangerous organization in the world, was exuded.

“Don’t worry. We’ll be able to keep it that way until the end of this war. “Maybe the person targeted will go crazy with fear.”

“thank you.”

“What is gratitude?”

Kang Woo-kyung stood up.

“The conversation is over, so there’s no need to take too long. “I’ll move right away.”

“All right. How long do you think it will take?”

“We will move as quickly as possible, so you can think of it within 40 days at the latest.”

Ho Yaoseong’s eyes widened. Because it was much faster than expected.

Kang Woo-gyeong, who was about to turn around, suddenly remembered something and looked down at Ho Yo-seong.

“I have a question.”

“Please speak.”

“I told you in advance, but if it’s a difficult question, you don’t have to answer.”

“All right.”

Kang Woo-kyung’s eyes sparkled.

“I heard a rumor that the Seal Protestants have it.”

Hu Yao-seong grinned.

“That’s right.”

They tell us as if there is no problem at all. I could see how much he trusted Kang Woo-kyung.

“Yes, the seal. The royal seal is important. The royal seal itself is imperial authority and justification. But what I’m curious about is…”

“When will this royal seal be used?”

“That’s right.”

For an instant, a terrifying murderous look appeared in Hu Yao-seong’s eyes.

Kang Woo-kyung felt his heart sink at the ruinous sight of his life.

“They are attacking Sangvis Castle. And unlike the main school, there are many civilians in Iron Blood Fortress.”

“…?!”

“Dam Sa-yeong will turn everyone in the central plains into enemies. That’s why I’m asking the elder to hold the crown prince and shake him.”

“if?”

“yes.”

Hu Yaosheng smiled coldly.

“The time to wear the royal seal is approaching.”
