Bamboo shoots up like a bamboo shoot
The mercenary leaders who secretly controlled the Horned Deer Dynasty came running with their men, as if the mercenaries guarding the palace had contacted them. Each one led hundreds and thousands, and in an instant, more than ten thousand mercenaries gathered. However, the tribesmen had already gathered more than two hundred thousand.
“Children of Mother Nature and companions of the spirits, the great spirit that protects the world has sent us the liberator. Now let us return to our land and enjoy a life of freedom.”
The tribesmen cheered, ignoring the mercenaries. The shaman of the Frostwolf tribe stepped forward, and the shamans of each tribe gathered around him. The shaman planted his staff in the ground and danced around him reverently. He was careful with every movement and sweated profusely despite the cold weather.
After some time, the shaman’s movements became more brisk. He walked three steps and clapped his hands once. At first, only the shamans clapped their hands to the old shaman’s rhythm. Then, after some time, the warriors stamped their feet to the shaman’s clapping.
The ground shook with each thud. The number of warriors exceeded 300,000 and approached 400,000. The mercenaries were frightened by the deviation of the tribesmen who were usually obedient. As the number of sorcerers approached a thousand, the number of warriors approached 600,000.
“The land of the South is calling us more earnestly. Let’s go, to our land.”
At George Washington’s shout, the warriors shouted in unison. The shamans commanded the warriors in a language that the gods could not understand. The warriors quickly lined up according to the tattoos on their shoulders.
“Our mothers, wives, and children will soon pass through this land. If you touch even a single hair, the wrath of 600,000 warriors will be directed at this land. If you want to live, discipline your subordinates well.”
George Washington gave a warning to the mercenary captains. Some of the mercenary captains knelt and bowed to Washington. Kneeling and bowing the head meant absolute submission. Kneeling to the ground meant respect, and bowing the head meant submission. Those who were quick to catch on to the meaning of the tribesmen’s actions quickly lined up.
If all the tribal people who were exploited for labor went south, Canada would quickly fall apart. The country of Canada was maintained by exploiting the fruits of their labor. On the other hand, if they settled in the southern land, the national power would rapidly increase with the wide plains and numerous mines. If they were foolish enough not to know which rope was the fresh rope, they would not have been able to command a mercenary force of hundreds or thousands.
Those who are quick-witted and decisive decide to look for ships heading to the British Empire. They need experts to develop mines and build bases. The more experts they can bring in, the better terms they can negotiate with them.
The warriors were divided into three groups. 100,000 warriors and 500 sorcerers were the vanguard with the divine spirits and quickly advanced southward. 300,000 warriors and 300 sorcerers followed as the center and destroyed a wider range of monsters. 200,000 warriors and 200 sorcerers were the rear guard, clearing the way and creating a stronghold.
The rear army slowly advances forward, and the center army follows the vanguard, and when it catches up with the vanguard, it turns back again. When it meets the rear army again, it moves in the direction of the vanguard. In this way, the tribesmen began to establish their own territory.
“Ice storm, triple layer.”
The divine spirit precisely controlled the range of the blizzard and unleashed three at once. The power of the magic became much stronger when four of the five dragon spirits were collected. The cat-like creatures and ships that already liked to gather together were killed or weakened by the blizzard.
The warriors, numbering 100,000, quickly defeated the monsters that numbered 60,000. Even without the help of the divine spirit, they would have dealt with them without much damage. Monsters up to level 2 do not pose a great threat to the warriors one-on-one. The warriors would have been overwhelmed by the scale, so the battle would have ended blandly.
However, Shingi did not spare his magic power because he was in a hurry. It is not very pleasant to have someone constantly urging him in his head. It is the same way that the field commander gives advice to Kishin, but in Shingi’s case, the simple advice is repeated, so it is several times more mentally disturbing.
The number of warriors was 100,000, so the mining of magic stones was very fast. The 100,000 warriors gathered tightly together, holding magic stones. Five hundred sorcerers surrounded them and began to chant spells. They started mumbling, then gradually shouted, and finally screamed like madmen.
In response to them, azaleas rose from the magic stones. The azaleas that were fading eventually turned into white smoke. The smoke was absorbed by the warriors’ noses and mouths. The sight was familiar to Shingi, who had seen it many times. However, the warriors’ skin color, which had become much darker, was now strange.
When they find a plant with red leaves on a green stem, they always dig up its root. The white, smooth root is a stimulant that awakens the sorcerer. The percentage of sorcerers is much lower than in Africa because it is difficult to obtain this stimulant that does not grow in cold lands.
We risked our lives to raise shamans and mined stimulants, but there was always a shortage. That’s why we’ve only mobilized about a thousand shamans. If we can turn as many children as possible who couldn’t become warriors into shamans with these stimulants, the power of the tribes will grow stronger.
“Frost waves, thousand-layer waves.”
On the 20th day after departure, we encountered a group of 300,000 Bihwang and Jeolgun. If the Korean Empire discovers a monster of this size, they will launch an all-out war. And the authority to use the Ma-Bung-tan is temporarily granted to some commanders with independent operational authority. If it is not the actual territory of the Korean Empire, it can be used without permission, and if it is within the territory of the Korean Empire, the coordinates must be verified once.
When he encountered such a group, Shingi jumped into the group of monsters, wearing a suit made of leather. Of course, he did not forget to use his ice armor magic in layers. And he used his frost wave magic within the range of his magic power.
In the past, this magic would have been of little use, but after gathering four divine spirits, the power of the magic grew stronger and the effect was outstanding. Centered around the divine spirits, a light dust-like energy surged like waves and spread in all directions. The Bihwang and Jeolgun who came into contact with that energy slowed down their steps.
The frost wave magic with the dual properties of freezing and coldness was continuously deployed to the heavenly realm. Mana recovery was also much faster, and more mana was settled in the divine body than before. In fact, it became stronger when the divine spirit was acquired for the third time, but the divine spirit, who did not know exactly his own abilities, did not realize it at the time.
“A fence of ice, layer upon layer.”
The thousand layers were burdensome, and the sorcerers and warriors on both sides were protected by a fence of ice. While spreading the discharge-type magic, the new magic was used, but the sorcerers and warriors who were ignorant of magic were not surprised. And the great wizard Shingi was completely unaware that what he was doing was against common sense.
The great hoof of the phoenix struck down from above. The warrior holding the wooden weapon calmly stepped aside without panicking. A red pattern appeared and disappeared on the forehead of the warrior who avoided the phoenix’s attack. The warrior took two steps forward and struck the phoenix’s side.
The phoenix, who had been hit beyond the allowable range of his weaknesses, died instantly. The warrior who had easily defeated the phoenix ran forward. It was a tradition that the strongest warrior would go first. The warrior thought that he was the strongest warrior. Of course, there were hundreds of warriors who thought the same.
“Snowman Soldier.”
The divine spirit who stopped the Frost Wave magic ordered the snowman soldier magic to be used to protect the warriors. It was used defensively rather than offensively. The snowman soldiers, each about half a meter tall, would attack the monsters that threatened the warriors, or block the monsters’ attacks on behalf of the warriors and turn into snowballs.
The cold wind slapped Shingi’s bones. As he headed to South America, he learned that depending on Shingi’s will, his mana recovery could be accelerated. Of course, the pain would also be much stronger. Shingi endured the pain with difficulty and focused on recovering his mana. The more he tried, the more warriors would survive.
The more warriors survive, the more monsters can be slain. The more monsters are slain, the more land humanity can live in. And one day, the monsters can be driven out of this world. Shingi is not at all curious about the purpose of the quest given to him or what awaits him at the end. He simply completes the goal given to him, whether voluntarily or involuntarily.
“Ice storm, this overlap.”
The monsters in the center of the group, including the Bihwang and Jeolgun, were able to form a great group due to the monsters being slowed down by the frost waves. The low-level monsters, who had no particular thoughts, were struggling together. Shingi used Blizzard in a stack, using the mana he had worked hard to gather.
The divine struggle was not in vain, as he sacrificed less than a thousand warriors and destroyed a monster of 300,000 in size. With less than 100,000 warriors, he defeated an enemy of three times his size. The warriors who lost their comrades showed no sign of sadness. Rather, if the weapons of their dead comrades looked good, they would take them.
“Brother, you who hastily returned to the embrace of the Great Spirit, will hastily return to us.”
The shamans performed simple rituals for the dead warriors. They believe that the dead are reborn as descendants. They believe that those who die quickly will return sooner. That is why they do not mourn.
About 400 warriors did not join the group holding magic stones. They were those who had already obtained red patterns on their foreheads, chests, thighs, and waists. This time, the number of magic stones was close to 300,000, so there were more warriors with red patterns than usual.
The number of magic stones is less than 300,000 out of a crowd of over 300,000, because some magic stones were destroyed by the divine magic. Because they used magic excessively to protect the lives of the warriors, the magic stones of over 20,000 monsters that died at the hands of the divine magic disappeared.
“I think there’s a high-level monster nearby. The whispers on the ground are too faint to be clear, but I think it’s at least bear-level.”
The head of the shaman with the parrot’s beak spoke to the divine being. The bear class is 5th grade. The wolf class is 4th grade, and anything below that is not considered a monster.
“It’s definitely a green touch. Grade 6, if you classify it, it’s an ancestor-level creature. It looks like a horse, has a white head, tiger stripes on its body, and its howl sounds like it’s singing. They say that when you hear its howl, you feel a primal desire surge up.”
They say that the 6th grade is the ancestor grade, and the 7th grade is the spirit grade. Like the sorcerers, they also used sorcery to find out information about monsters. However, compared to the sorcerers of the Korean Empire who worked with wizards and continuously invested manpower to research, the information about monsters they found out is biased.
The shaman who obtained information from the gods held a meeting with the shamans of each tribe. George Washington stipulated that each agenda item should be discussed at most three times, each meeting not exceeding one hour, and then a conclusion must be reached.
“If it is the monster you mentioned, we will deal with it. If we do well, we may even be able to establish a capital here.”
