Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 576 Sad Toast (1)

“Stop?!”

“That’s right.”

Wei Hongryun frowned.

“What is happening all of a sudden?”

It is not uncommon for dropped orders to be recalled.

But this time things were different. The joint attack of the top forces of the Protestant Church, including the Demon Lord’s special operation and the Great Protection Act, can not only destroy a portion of the enemy’s four thousand troops, but also eat up operation time.

In other words, the key is only when it starts, and it is not an order that can be recalled. It’s a strategy that can generate huge profits immediately upon hitting, but is it suddenly ordered to stand still?

“Is it to cause confusion in the information network?”

Mudam shook his head at Wei Hongryeon’s muttering to herself.

“This is an order that came directly from the Secretariat under the Ministry of Military Affairs. “They must have been in a hurry so they paid extra.”

“With first payment….”

If that is the case, it really means that the name is recovered.

Wei Honglian couldn’t understand.

“Has something happened to our school?”

At that time, Soyeonsim opened her mouth.

“That can’t be possible.”

She pointed to the bottom of the letter she had sent.

“Here is a drawing of an Asura statue with two horns. That means…”

Wei Hongryun’s eyes widened.

“Wartime system?!”

“that’s right.”

“Then is there really something wrong with our school?!”

“So there is nothing wrong with our school. “If a real problem had arisen at our school, a strict return order would have been issued immediately.”

That was correct.

Mu Dam asked So Yeonsim.

“How does Sowonju interpret this current command?”

Soyeonsim smiled.

Is it because of the forced march so far? My face felt a little gaunt. On the other hand, his eyes were filled with vitality, perhaps because it had been a long time since he had fought an exciting battle worthy of a Majin.

“It’s a big deal. “I can’t believe the Great Protector is questioning our order.”

After being excommunicated and fighting numerous battles, the leaders seemed to have become much closer than before. It was the so-called camaraderie.

Mudam shook his head.

“I don’t think it’s unnecessary to have doubts. However, as the above commandment said, timing is the only issue, and I believe it is a strategy that will unconditionally yield benefits as long as a strike is struck.”

“Unfortunately, I don’t know much about that either. There are definitely unavoidable circumstances, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with our school.

“There is too little information to infer more than that.”

“is it.”

At that time, Cheolmoojeong opened his mouth.

“Things may have changed.”

Everyone’s eyes turned to Cheolmoojeong.

Cheolmoojeong continued speaking in his unique, stiff tone.

“It’s not because something happened to our school or because there was a problem with the battle itself. So, how about turning the idea upside down?”

“Backwards? “What does that mean?”

“How about thinking that there is no need to attack the enemy’s Sichuan troops?”

For a moment, surprise appeared on everyone’s faces.

Wei Hongryun said in a whisper.

“What do you mean by that?”

“We can’t jump to conclusions, but if we were to discuss the possibility, it would be difficult to find a reason other than that.”

“…!”

“As you said, there is no reason to miss this golden opportunity.

That’s us too, but the General Military knows best. In other words, a situation has arisen where it is acceptable to give up such a desirable prey.”

Cheolmoojeong’s eyes sparkled.

“Is the war over already?”

* * *

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“No. “It’s something I do every time.”

“Please get a drink.”

“Hehe, it’s not tea but alcohol for someone who has worked hard? “You’re pretty cool.”

It was their first time meeting like this, but the two still talked naturally as if they were familiar with each other.

Kang Woo-kyung coolly emptied the glass that Gong Ya-chi had filled.

“How is it?”

“It’s a good drink. Is it busy?”

“That’s right.”

“You became a wine drinker and you drink some pretty good drinks.”

Gong Yachi smiled.

“How did you know?”

“It may not be as good as yours, but our Shaunsa’s information power is also considerable.

In particular, they have a tight grip on the back alleys of Sapa after you. “Hao Moon’s owner has changed, but how can you become a merchant if you don’t know that much information?”

The fact that Hao Wen’s master of letters had changed was kept confidential. It was a confidential matter and could never be known with any amount of information.

I was able to see once again how outstanding the information power of the Museaksa Temple was.

“Congratulations. “Please take my cup too.”

“thank you.”

So the two people shared a glass.

How long has it been?

“I have one question.”

Gong Yachi immediately responded to Kang Woo-kyung’s words.

“Are you talking about the declaration of defeat by the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army?”

“That’s right.”

Dam Sa-yeong, Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Army.

A former Uicheon lord and member of the Jungwon Samje (中原三帝), who is considered the strongest martial arts expert.

At the opposite point was the Yeomramaje, or rather, Seoliang, who came to be called the Yeomramashin (閻羅魔神) for the invincible martial arts he showed in the Iron Blood Fortress.

However, if you look closely, the cause of this war was entirely Dam Sa-yeong.

He touched places that should not have been touched and constantly manipulated public opinion to push the Heavenly Demon Church.

If Seo-ryang had not come out to the world and changed the perception of the Heavenly Demon God Religion during the Xiaoqiao era, the movement of the Heavenly Demon God Religion would have been much more limited than it is now.

In that way, Dam Sa-young was the first to fight and almost died once.

Even the Uicheon Alliance, which was the foundation of the Jungwon martial arts group, collapsed at the hands of a single absolute demon.

Even then, Damsayoung did not give up. Even though the world was split in half, he settled in the empty North and did not give up his ambition to unify the world until the end.

Dam Sa-yeong finally declared defeat.

Even though the end of the war had not yet been seen, he waved the white flag.

“It felt really uncomfortable.”

“Is that so?”

Kang Woo-kyung frowned.

“If you work as an assassin, you will gain a sharp sixth sense that other warriors do not have.

Of course, that sixth sense usually comes into play when you want to kill someone.”

“But Noh Seon-bae is the one who made a deal with the former religious leader. “You are different from other assassins.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

“So what does that sixth sense tell you?”

“I don’t know.”

“yes?”

“I feel more uncomfortable because I don’t know.”

Kang Woo-kyung sighed deeply.

It was a sigh mixed with relief that everything was finally over and frustration that was certain that this would not be the end.

“Dam Sa-yeong’s declaration of defeat was clearly an irreversible act. “You, who handles information, would know better.”

“That’s right. Declaring defeat can never be an operation. Because there is much more to lose than to gain.”

“Actually, even if you don’t take that into consideration, Dam Sa-yeong’s personality from what I’ve known so far means she wouldn’t be able to do something like that, even if it’s because of her pride. Are you declaring defeat? “I’d rather die.”

“That’s why you say you feel even more uncomfortable.”

“That’s right. “I feel uncomfortable because I am not the type of person to declare defeat, and I also feel uncomfortable because I have too much to lose to plan something by declaring defeat.”

“It seems to be against common sense in some way.”

“That’s what I said.”

Kang Woo-kyung asked quietly.

“What do you think? “This is Dam Sa-yeong’s declaration of defeat.”

Gong Yachi stroked his chin.

“Honestly, it’s surprising.”

“Of course it is.”

“Senior Noh, as you may know, I worked with Dam Sa-young in the past.”

Kang Woo-kyung quenched his appetite.

“There’s no need to say that. “Didn’t you deliberately join hands with that guy in order to save Hao Mun and pursue a common path with the Heavenly Demon Church?”

“Haha, for whatever reason, it was difficult to get a good evaluation.”

“Anyway, so?”

“At that time, my evaluation of Dam Sa-young was exactly like this.”

Gong Yachi said each word harshly.

“A child with his own ups and downs in life who was born into a fairly well-to-do family and has lived his entire life.”

It was quite a harsh expression.

Kang Woo-kyung chuckled without even realizing it. That unexpected expression was funny.

Gong Yachi laughed along and continued speaking.

“It’s a little surprising, isn’t it? But I got that impression.

“When I think about how Dam Sa-young took control of Uicheon Maeng, I felt exactly that way, even though it was an assessment that could never be made.”

“In other words, you have strong pride?”

“Even if you are strong, you are not usually strong. But unexpectedly, his pride overshadows others.”

“Choose your opponent? “A person in that position?”

“That’s right.”

Gong Yachi fiddled with his empty wine glass.

The appearance of thinking deeply about something. Although we were talking about a very serious matter, there was still a strange sense of composure.

Looking at Gong Yachi like that, Kang Woo-kyung realized that this guy was no ordinary genius.

After a while, Gong Yachi’s mouth opened.

“To be precise, Damsayoung’s pride was only at its peak when dealing with the Heavenly Demon Church.”

Kang Woo-kyung’s eyes sparkled.

“If we just crush the Heavenly Demon Church, we can take over the world, right?”

“Of course, that thought was big. But I think differently. “In addition to those rational reasons, I felt hatred and disgust toward the organization called Heavenly Demon Church itself.”

“Hatred and loathing for Protestantism?”

It wasn’t particularly surprising. This was exactly the perception of the world before Seo-ryang came out into the world and dispelled the evil rumors about the Heavenly Demon Church.

“I am not talking about the blind hatred that people in the world have, which is simply learned rather than directly experienced.”

“if?”

Gong Yachi’s eyes deepened.

“Something more primal and extremely personal, yet complex, mixed with unknown envy and nostalgia.”

“…!”

“It’s a bit difficult to put it into words. But this is exactly the feeling I got. From the beginning, Dam Sa-young had a different view on the organization called Heavenly Demon Church itself than others.”

“Hmm.”

Gong Yachi lowered his expression and filled his own glass.

“That makes it even more surprising. “This is Dam Sa-young’s declaration of defeat.”

“Besides, Dam Sa-yeong seemed to be particularly conscious of that person, the leader of the Seo cult.”

“That’s right.”

Kang Woo-kyung scratched his head.

“He is truly a troublesome bastard. “Even though you declared defeat, you keep making people feel uncomfortable.”

“Doesn’t this mean that the existence of Damsa-yeong was strongly recognized by us?”

“That cannot be denied.”

Gong Yachi smiled and raised his glass.

“No matter what plans he has or how he felt when he declared defeat, I think he can be filled with joy today.

Even if he comes with worse disaster than before, can’t we be happy for at least one day?”

“Hehehe.”

Kang Woo-kyung burst out laughing.

“Yes, you are correct. “Anyway, it’s great enough just to push him that far.”

“Crown Prince Jian was truly amazing. “It was an exquisite workshop.”

“Don’t paint the old man’s face. “I just did what the Protestant general told me to do.”

“Anyway, thank you for your hard work.”

The two people continued to share drinks.

How much time has passed like that?

“I’m really curious about this one thing.”

“What part are you talking about?”

“Now that the war is over, where is the commander-in-chief of the imperial army who declared defeat?”

Gong Yachi’s eyes lit up.
