Beastly and Fearlessly - Chapter 97



Only Noblemtl

The fact that there is someone in Namcheon Damdong who is desperately waiting for me. Episode 97

Hurrr.

The corpses of the enemies scattered across the battlefield were gathered together and burned.

It burned for three days and three nights, but it did not go out.

If anyone were to witness this massive fire from afar, they would know.

How will the greed of those who covet this land ultimately end?

“This guy will handle the contact for you.”

He said this, pointing to the pine tree sitting on Nokseungseo’s shoulder.

In Yunnan, the Beast Palace is not far away.

If anything urgent comes up, I will send a messenger through this guy without delay.

Then, the Iron Horse Corps led by my uncle will immediately depart for Yunnan.

“I heard that the work of clearing out the remnants of the Blood Cult is nearing completion.”

“Thanks to Paldong. Of course, Namcheon Damdong played the biggest role.”

The vibration of the sky is no longer a movement of the arms.

The same goes for Yeongpungmo-dong, who cowardly fled from the battlefield and was stabbed in the back to death.

So now there are six families guarding the Beast Palace, not eight.

But my uncle and I still used the name Pal-dong.

“It is up to you to decide which family to place in the Paldong. Of course, it will be after you return from the Central Plains.”

The whole body of the uncle’s wife, Dammu-gun, was still covered in wounds.

A large, newly engraved scar on his face.

Tightly closed lips.

Sharp eyes like those of a beast.

If someone asks what kind of man the warrior of the Beast Palace is, just show them the appearance of my uncle.

He is a man who left the position of Dongju in Namcheon Damdong to live solely as a warrior of the Beast Palace.

That person has been taking the place of the Beast Palace for a long time, and I, who has newly taken that position, am also being asked to do the same.

“I don’t know how long it will take, but… … When I return, it will be different from now.”

* * *

Nok Seung-seo, Bang Yak-ran, and me.

In this way, the three of them left the large gate of the Beast Palace and headed towards Namcheon Damdong.

Suddenly, I looked back and saw the Iron Troops lined up on the endless wall.

Everyone is in a position where the tip of their sword is pointing towards the floor.

A majestic sight of the best warriors of the Beast Palace worshipping me.

And among them stood the leader of the Iron Troops, Dammugun.

The tips of the huge swords he held in both hands were also pointing downwards.

As if seeing off the king’s advance.

Just wait.

The moment when I return to Damyeong.

The day when your king returns to this land… … .

The three of them walked quietly without saying a word.

As I walked like this, I remembered the time when I had my first birthday party.

Nokseungseo received the seal of Songgol, and Bangyakran received the seal of Unpyo.

There is a dragon’s mark engraved on my shoulder.

We all faced a new destiny that day.

Behind him, Tofu was walking with three horses.

The ten Yunpyo of Bangyakran fought as fiercely as the warriors of the Beast Palace.

In return, there are now only three tickets left.

So the remaining guys are the best luck ones among them.

They are veterans who have survived battles against the Blood Demons.

They are such great guys… … .

Kyarrrrrr.

With just one wink of the tofu’s eye, the heat moves quickly.

These guys are more than twice the size of tofu.

“You recognize the king.”

Bang Yak-ran opened her mouth.

She is not simply a warrior who fights with the help of fortune tellers.

When he charged at his enemies with two short, curved swords that resembled the fangs of a wild beast, he looked like a wild beast charging at him.

Like a fierce and courageous leopard.

“To the Nanman Yunbyo, the Dark Xiang Yunbyo is like a king. So now, Tofu has gained a very loyal subordinate. A subordinate who will follow any order and never betray… … .”

“That’s fortunate.”

Tofu has some good friends.

Of course, my best friend is still me.

“We will do the same. We will become loyal warriors who serve the Beast King.”

Bang Yak-ran and Nok Seung-seo looked at me with the same gaze.

Both of them are well aware that the Beast King Jin Jung-ak has designated me as the new Beast King.

The fact that when I return from this trip to the Central Plains, I will take his place on the throne.

The new king of this land.

I opened my mouth towards them.

“Seungseo, and Yakran… … .”

The two people’s eyes are serious, as if they are listening to the king’s orders.

“I never once thought that you two would become my subordinates. Not now, not even when I sit on the Beast King’s throne one day. Do you understand?”

“If you are not my subordinate… … .”

“We are warriors of the Beast Palace who were engraved on the same day. So from now on, think of me as just a close friend. Just as I think of you two.”

A king is not someone who rules over others.

It is the king’s destiny to be the first to run towards the enemies.

At that moment, if someone is running alongside me, shoulder to shoulder, that’s enough.

“Our goal is to make everyone in the Central Plains fear the Beast Palace. We need to let them know that if they touch it carelessly, their skin will be skinned alive.”

The way to lure enemies into traps and create discord among them.

The method of striking from behind with a meticulous plan is not the Beast Palace’s way.

“I will find all the bastards involved in this war and kill them… … .”

Revenge for the warriors who died protecting the Beast Palace.

This is the first thing I, Dam-Myeong, must do as the Beast King.

My personal revenge comes next.

I had a feeling that maybe it would happen at the same time.

* * *

When we arrived at Namcheon Damdong, an unexpected person was waiting for us.

“Oh my. Dam-myeong, you’re coming now? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Nok-seung-seo, you’re here too.”

Umochi.

Umochi, the sixth son of Dokgok, who made and sold aphrodisiacs in Jungwon, was waiting for me at Namcheon Damdong.

The fancy robe was stained with blood, and judging by the various medicinal herbs he was holding in his hands, it seemed like he was earning his keep.

Of course, the warriors of Namcheon Damdong must have suffered a lot of casualties, so his medical skills must have been of great help.

Umochi is quite knowledgeable not only in poison but also in medicine.

“No, but who is that? That dazzlingly beautiful woman over there.”

Umochi came up to me and whispered.

His gaze was naturally directed towards Bangyakran.

“You are the only daughter of the Gwisoobangdongju. If you dare to be sneaky, a tiger the size of a house will swallow you in one bite.”

He muttered to himself, wondering if she had taken my words as a joke or if he could not hear anything in front of such a beautiful woman.

“Ah… … How foolish. How foolish I am. Why did I, Umochi, leave Nanman and wander around the Central Plains? Not knowing that the most beautiful woman in the world is here in Nanman. Haa.”

Umochi now has the same eyes I’ve often seen.

It was the same look when I met Jegal So-hye of the Murim Alliance and when I first spoke with Murong A-gyeong.

Even when I faced Seol Seorin of the Bukhae Ice Palace, who had her face covered with cotton.

“By the way, what is going on here?”

“After sending you off to Nanman, I felt really empty. So I thought about it. Is it right for me, Umochi, the sixth son of Dokgok, to stay in the Central Plains like this? Nanman, where I was born and raised, is in danger. That’s why I came here.”

“Why don’t you go to Dokgok?”

“Haha. Why are you saying such disappointing things? You and I are like brothers, so isn’t this my home? This is my home now. I will never leave Namman again. By the way, will that woman also stay here from now on?”

“No. Me, Nok Seung-seo, and Bang Yak-ran will be leaving for Yunnan soon. Please take care of Namcheon Dam-dong while I’m away.”

“Yunnan? As soon as I get here? Sigh. I guess I have no choice but to be the guide again.”

“Didn’t you just say you weren’t leaving Namman?”

“Huh? When did I? Dam-myeong, you must be quite weak after the fierce battle. I can hear you talking nonsense. I’ll quickly make you a tonic by mixing raw rehmannia root and astragalus root. You’ll probably not be able to sleep at dawn… … .”

I left Umochi’s nonsense behind and went to find my father.

Not even realizing that I had arrived far away, I was busy piling up the corpses of the Blood Demons with the warriors of Namcheon Damdong.

I plan to burn them all.

Beside him, his mother also rolled up her arms and helped him.

“Hey! It’s a commotion!”

“The little prince is back!”

“Wow! Wow!”

The warriors of Namcheon Damdong simultaneously raised both arms and cheered.

Perhaps word of my actions in the Battle of Beast Palace has spread.

“How did you taste the heart?”

I guess that ridiculous rumor about the Blood Cult leader’s heart being ripped out and eaten on the spot has already spread here…

If the warriors of Nancheondamdong, located at the northeastern tip of Nanman, are known, it is correct to think that the rumor has already spread throughout Nanman.

Maybe even to the Central Plains.

“It’s dry and doesn’t taste that good.”

After hearing my answer, the warriors started exchanging money with each other.

“Haha. See, you buddy. I told you I would really chew you out. Now give me your money.”

“Haa. I didn’t know you would actually eat it. Anyway, from now on, those bastards who are greedy for others will have to leave their hearts at home. Won’t they all be pulled out and chewed up by our Sodongju? Haha.”

Since it has come to this, I decided to become a beast king who chews on the hearts of my enemies.

The more my notoriety grows, the safer Nanman and the Beast Palace will be.

I walked through the noisy warriors who were saying that a cow’s spit was better than a human’s spit and approached my father.

Father and mother who have been smiling happily since a while ago.

“Sorry I’m late.”

“No. Now, you are destined to look over the entire world beyond the southern border. By the way, you said you were going to the central plains, so why did you return to Namcheon Damdong?”

“Shouldn’t I at least say goodbye before I leave?”

“Useless. Don’t worry about family matters anymore.”

It was the expected reaction from my father.

Jin Cheol-seung of Changcheonjindong lost his honor as a warrior because he was intoxicated with the glory of being the head of the Beast King’s family.

My father would never do that, but he must be worried about unnecessary gossip.

“I was planning on just saying hello and leaving.”

Although it ended in victory for the Beast Palace, it was a great war that resulted in numerous casualties.

The Blood Cult, which had tenaciously endured for hundreds of years, was destroyed by the Beast Palace, and the Beast Palace also suffered great damage.

So, I don’t think there’s anyone who thinks we’re going to make a move right now.

Why I need to move quickly.

I approached my mother.

“mother…….”

“Thank you for your hard work. And take care.”

“I don’t know when I’ll be back. And even if I do, I’ll be staying at the Beast Palace, not here.”

“Of course! Just like your father said, don’t worry about the family anymore. And remember, we will protect you no matter what path you take.”

I was moved.

It was incredibly sturdy.

It’s not because my father and mother had great talent.

It’s not because of the excellent warriors of Namcheon Damdong.

That there are people who support me for no reason.

An emotion I never felt in my previous life as an orphan.

“The Central Plains is not an easy place. Take the Iron Corps with you.”

Father’s words.

“No. I’ll let you know when the time comes. For now, I think it would be okay to just take Deoksam.”

This guy has a lot of uses in various ways.

Even though he’s not very tactful, he’s a trustworthy guy.

By the way, now that the position of Sodongju has become vacant, who will take over Namcheon Damdong?

hmm…….

I guess I’ll have to ask Umochi if he has any leftover medicine from the medicine he used to sell in Jungwon.

The medicine that is said to contain the secret of poison.

The reason Dokgokju was able to give birth to eight children.

I should leave it quietly next to my father’s bed and then leave.

Because we will need someone to take over Namcheon Damdong in my place.

* * *

Mount Forang.

Deoksam, who was excited about his first trip to Jungwon, asked.

“So, from now on, our Beast Palace will swallow up the Central Plains? First, we’ll conquer Yunnan.”

How on earth did he understand what I said?

“We are not a demonic cult that dreams of unifying the Central Plains. Let me say it again, our goals are twofold. There will continue to be many forces that covet the South. That is why we are trying to expand the influence of the Beast Palace to Yunnan. That way, we can weed out those bastards in advance in Yunnan.”

“What about the second one?”

“We must find and kill all those involved in this war with the Blood Cult. Only then will no one dare look down on us in the future.”

“The five of us?”

There are five people crossing Mt. Porang right now, including me.

Of course, there are also four beasts, including Tofu.

So, what I just said is nonsense.

However, if you lead all the warriors of the Beast Palace north, saying you will seek revenge, you will only end up fighting another war.

All I want is fear.

Fear of the Beast Palace.

And the fear of the new Beast King Damyeong.

“Five is enough.”

Actually, I am enough on my own.
