Episode 758: The Outskirts of the Territory

The Emperor of the Northern Sea Empire had no interest in dealing with Lin Beijin.

Pretending to have suffered a loss even after making a profit.

That typical person was Bukjin.

“Your Majesty, everything I said is true.”

Bukjin, who succeeded in extortion, laughed vulgarly like a weasel who succeeded in stealing a chicken.

“Think about it. I have countless celestial brothers. And that’s not all, there are countless great masters of the extreme. These Hyeonseok are nothing compared to what I’m moving them with. It’s because of the affection I’ve built with Your Majesty that I’ve offered this price. Who else could gather this many warriors willing to sacrifice their lives for a mere 2,000 Hyeonseok? It’s only possible for me.”

The Emperor of the North Sea Empire was momentarily speechless, having no basis to refute those words.

As I listened, it seemed like it was true.

Bukjin continued speaking.

“Besides, I also have Wangbok (王爆). I need to prepare the materials. If I do this, I will be able to pass through the gate smoothly. All of this costs money… It is something that can only be done by burning money and Hyeonseok.”

The Emperor of the North Sea Empire asked curiously.

“What is a Wangbok?”

“…….”

Bukjin was speechless for a moment.

“Um… I guess it’s a kind of trump card.”

Bukjin said.

“It’s a secret weapon that can only be made by putting in Hyun-seok.”

“Is there another secret weapon that Jim doesn’t know about?”

A momentary flash of joy appeared on the face of the Emperor of the North Sea Empire.

The more defeats this scoundrel has, the easier it will be to conquer the empire.

“Of course. I, Imbukjin, the most handsome man in the North Sea Empire, have never fought unprepared.”

Bukjin raised his head proudly at a 45 degree angle.

The Emperor of the North Sea Empire nodded at the sight and returned to the palace in a happy mood.

2,000 hyunseok is a lot of money, but the royal family is willing to pay it.

In fact, the problem that could be solved with Hyunseok was not the real problem.

The real problems were ones that money couldn’t solve.

If the northward advance is made, the pacification of the empire will be passed safely.

Money wasn’t an issue, as long as he didn’t ask for too outrageous a price.

In fact, Bukjin did not lie.

In the end, whether it was ‘Seol-yeok-ji-eung’, ’98K’, or ‘Gatling machine gun’, Hyun-seok’s power was needed to fill the bullets.

’98K’ has now passed from So Byeong-gam to A-kwang’s hands.

The stealthy rat was truly the ultimate sniper.

The infantry has been using the Gatling gun for a long time.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that a sergeant major with a fully loaded Gatling gun could hold off tens of thousands of elite troops on his own.

In the midst of a war between nations, such human weapons would be surprisingly powerful.

That afternoon, the Emperor of the Northern Sea Empire dispatched Zhang Tianqian and Lu Shanguan, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards, to send 2,000 pieces of stone to Shang Zhao Yuan.

At the same time, he also sent various detailed materials about the ‘Heavenly War’.

Hyunseok received it directly from Bukjin, and gave the related materials to Wangchung and So Byeonggam to study.

The preliminary review will take place in one month.

The news soon spread to the capital.

This imperial conquest was a major event, so not only the nobles of the country but also the officials of the eight planets were all watching with tension.

The empire’s many strongmen and elite military forces also began to gather in the capital.

Ten days later, Bei Jin listened to Wang Chong’s advice and regretfully ended the ‘test’ of Ji Wu Shuang.

“You’re worse than a dog! Get out!”

However, Beokjin’s attitude toward Gyemusang was still cold.

“Master, I want to work by your side.”

Gyemusang was thick-skinned and flattered people in a flattering manner.

“There are so many people who want to work by my side, so why should I hire you?”

The North Jin did not accept him at all.

There was no need to be polite to these people.

The stronger the original Keumosang type of people appear, the easier it is to control them.

This was the core of the technology to manipulate people.

Wang Chong thought for a moment and then began to persuade Jiewushuang.

“Your Majesty, you don’t have to stay by my side to work for me. Can’t you work for me even after you return to the delegation?”

Gyemusang looked at Bukjin with an expectant expression.

Even if Wang Chong spoke ten thousand words, Bei Jin’s one word was more important.

Bukjin thought about it carefully and then nodded.

“What that son of a bitch Wang Chung said makes sense.”

A smile quickly appeared on Gyemusang’s face.

“Do your best. I’ll be watching you closely.”

Bukjin patted Gyemusang on the shoulder and said, observing the principle of giving medicine after giving medicine.

“Go to the delegation and keep an eye on the situation. If anything happens, be the first to let me know.”

Gyemusang spoke in a shocked voice, perhaps because he was touched.

“Your Highness, don’t worry. I, Gyemusang, am your man.”

‘Ugh. Is this fucking bastard really bewitched by my beauty?’

Bukjin kicked him with his foot.

“go away.”

As the two of them left the room, Jiewushuang quickly thanked Wang Chong with a cowardly expression.

He was good at bending and straightening.

Only this time the bending time was longer.

“Your Majesty, thank you for speaking for me in front of the young master. If you need me or Gyemusang for anything in the future, please call me without hesitation.”

The ‘Shin Jeon Cheon In’ from the Jin Yong Empire bowed low and spoke to Wang Chong.

He was a smart man.

Just now, when he was in the room, Gye Moo-ssang discovered something important.

Bei Jin called him ‘a man worse than a dog’ and Wang Chong called him ‘a son of a bitch’.

He was able to reach one conclusion through meticulous, scientific, and rational reasoning.

In Lord Im’s mind, his status was one step lower than Wang Chong’s.

So, Gyemusang had to bow his head in front of Wang Chong.

After sending off the attendants, Wang Chong returned with a pleased face and reported.

As expected, the hundreds of seonseok that ‘Shin Jeoncheonin’ Gye Musang had worked hard to earn all ended up in Buk Jin’s pocket.

“This Hyunseok, you also have some of your own shares. After all, you worked hard. But since you spend money too recklessly, I’ll save it for you.”

Bei Jin said to Wang Chong.

“No complaints?”

“Of course not.”

Wang Chong had a sad expression on his face.

* * *

Time flew by.

On the 15th day, bad news came from the palace.

This means that not all of the heavenly beings of Baekunseong and Sogyeopgeomyeon can participate in the war.

This was confidential information known only to a select few.

It was an important matter that could have a great impact on the pacification of the empire.

Rumor has it that Baekunseong and Sogyeopgeomyeon had internal strife and split into several factions.

It is said that the celestial beings who were deeply immersed in these two North Sea swordsmanship holy places were unable to leave.

It’s not that I didn’t do it, it’s that I really couldn’t do it.

Moreover, since Go Seung-han was pretending to be dead in Sangjolwon, it was as if the Bukhae Empire had lost three thousand-man troops to go to the ‘Battle of Heaven’.

It was a huge loss.

You should know that until then, the North Sea Empire only had six thousand people.

The Emperor of the Northern Sea Empire had no choice but to summon Beijin to the palace to discuss countermeasures.

“It’s not a big deal. I just need to put in a little more effort.”

Bukjin was confident.

“Is that true?”

The Emperor of the North Sea Empire’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.

This was exactly what he wanted to hear right now.

And as if he had read the mind of the Emperor of the Northern Sea Empire, Beijin said exactly what he wanted to hear.

Bukjin patted his chest and spoke confidently.

“Don’t worry, trust me. But…….”

“but?”

The Emperor of the North Sea Empire was so nervous that his palms were sweating.

“I need to add more money.”

At Beijin’s words, the Emperor of the Northern Sea Empire tightly closed his eyes.

* * *

Time flew by.

Any suspicion that Bukjin was pretending to be dead was dispelled when he met many friends.

Wonmungun, Lee Suwon, and others also felt relieved when they saw Bukjin looking healthy.

In particular, the sergeant major who met Bukjin at the Sangjolwon was surprised and shed tears of joy as soon as he confirmed that he had truly recovered.

Bukjin couldn’t help but admire the innocence of the decline.

These days, Bukjin is enjoying peaceful days.

The only bad news is that the overworked Yongbanpungpyo at the center of the Jeonsu trade has collapsed from illness.

Wang Chong became so anxious that smoke came out of his throat.

He regarded all the royal physicians as veterinarians and visited them many times to ask for health tonics and pills… … .

There was still no news about Chohun and the others.

These ten dancers were invisible, as if they had disappeared into thin air.

Despite investigations by all sides, their whereabouts were unknown.

A month passed in the blink of an eye and one fine day arrived.

The day of ‘Heavenly War’ has finally arrived.

“Is this the so-called extraterritorial boundary?”

Bukjin’s eyes widened at the bizarre sight unfolding before his eyes.

The low-hanging sky looked like a blue-black curtain hung upside down, sprinkled with diamonds.

The twinkling star seemed far away, but when you looked closely, it looked so real that you could almost reach out and pick that diamond-like star.

All around, elite soldiers of the North Sea Empire were moving busily.

They were building a defensive barrier on the low wall under the command of the commander of the Imperial Guards, Lu Shanguan.

It has only been an hour since people began coming to the map of the outer border through the transmission door.

In addition to those under the command of Beijin, the Northern Sea Empire dispatched three celestial beings, ten great masters of the extreme stars, one hundred masters of martial arts, and five thousand elite soldiers.

This world was an unexplored territory.

The area was not that large.

It was a slightly different scene from what I had imagined.

He originally thought that the outer space would be the endless night sky.

But when we actually arrived, the place seemed like a battlefield that had been abandoned for a long time.

The walls of the old castle, which showed traces of the passage of time, were full of holes made by swords and cuts.

Stains of unknown age and unknown skeletons half-buried in the sand… … .

Those from the North Sea Empire seemed like living beings who had inadvertently invaded the land of the dead.

And the first test they face is defending this desolate castle.

If you are going to defend your castle, there will definitely be enemies.

But where are the enemies?

So far, no enemy has been seen.

Bukjin began to look around carefully.

The site of the castle where they were standing was not very large, about six hundred and fifty jang from east to west.

Although many of the buildings within the castle had collapsed, the official residence in the center of the castle was completely preserved.

The Emperor of the Northern Sea Empire, who had personally led the army and set out on an expedition, was holding a military conference with his military ministers at the official residence at this time.

But Beijin had no interest in these military meetings.

So he had Wang Chong attend the meeting instead, and took Qingqing and Cheoncheon out to the city wall to get some fresh air.
