Part 22 Number of Heads
“…no way?”
Someone swallowed dry saliva and asked Yeon So-hyeon.
“Did you have an arrangement? About the enemy’s clairvoyance?”
At that question, almost everyone looked at Yeon So-hyeon, and Yeon So-hyeon burst into laughter.
“How could that be?”
He waved his hands.
“How can a country prepare for everything? Even clairvoyance?”
“… … .”
It may be an answer if it is disappointing, but at the same time.
If it was an extremely obvious story, then it was an obvious story.
How could Yeonseon-hyeon be prepared for all the abilities that only appear in fantasy?
and.
If it were true, it would be around now.
It was a time when everyone should have been confused, with some clutching their heads in frustration and shouting in despair, “This is terrible…!” or “What should we do now…?!”
however.
“But, Mr. Chairman… .”
The person who first asked Yeon So-hyeon a question was still looking at her.
And the rest of the house of the head of the household.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Even though I must have been anxious and confused.
He was looking at Yeon So-hyeon silently with an unwavering gaze.
“Are you confident enough to handle it?”
That’s right.
It was trust.
they.
The top echelons of the Luoyang Swordsmanship no longer had any doubts about Yeon So-hyeon’s abilities or Yeon So-hyeon as a person.
and.
Yeon So-hyeon lived up to their trust with a short answer.
“of course.”
“… … !”
“…also!”
Here and there, sighs of relief and brief exclamations of wonder came out.
How can someone be this happy just from a few words?
How can someone’s short words lift my spirits so much?
Everyone’s body trembled.
It was a joy.
“Tell the signalman of the main house my order.”
Yeon So-hyeon gave orders to the messenger with the aforementioned face.
“Shoot up a signal flare to announce that salvation has arrived.”
* * *
Jingdong Market is the largest permanent market in Luoyang and one of the oldest markets.
Of course there.
There was an information base for the oldest Luoyang swordsmanship.
Normally, I take it easy.
It was a time to enjoy the cool air at dawn, drink a cup of tea, and watch merchants busily preparing to start business.
“Branch ahhhhh…!”
Dawn was not coming today.
“I can’t stop it anymore! Aaah…!”
The branch’s information agents were blocking the last door with their whole bodies, swearing.
Boom, bang bang bang…!
And every time that last door creaked slightly from the impact, dozens of hands covered in strange tattoos tried to squeeze their way inside.
“These crazy fanatics…!”
if.
If that last door hadn’t been a security door made of metal, they would have been their meal long ago.
Or perhaps it was a human sacrifice in some very suspicious ritual.
“Branch aaa …
“I’m doing it! I’m doing it!”
Clank, clank…!
The branch manager frantically pulled, tightened, fixed, and installed the mechanical devices placed on the table.
but.
“Naifarendaaknohohomusik daretubaohosa…!”
“Naifarendaaknohohomusik daretubaohosa…!”
Dozens can be heard outside.
The incomprehensible and bizarre prayers that hundreds of people were mumbling made the branch manager’s hands slip several times.
“Shit, shit, shit, shit…!”
The Luoyang Sword Master’s job is to collect information in Luoyang. Was there another place in the intelligence bureau where one could spend the last years of their life in comfort like this?
He wanted to strangle himself for having accepted the position of branch manager with such glee.
“Branch Manager, no more-, ugh… ?!”
Kwaaaaang…!
At that moment, the dented doors burst open as if they were going to explode, and fanatics with black eyes began to pour in.
“Okay…!”
Crunch…!
The branch manager, who had finished loading, began to turn the handle of the crossbow without hesitation.
“Xbaaaaal…!”
Pa, papapapapapapang…!
The string made of a special metal began to fire, sparking fiercely.
“Daretubaohosa…!”
“Daretubaohosa…!”
In that short period of time, they poured in like a dam bursting, but it didn’t matter.
What he had installed on the table was an extreme weapon for killing people and horses that could originally only be seen on the walls of Luoyang.
That was because it was a large crossbow.
“Throw everything away!”
Kwajik… ! Kwajik… ! Kwajik… !
Each iron arrow, as thick as a child’s forearm, pierced the cultists’ chests, tore off their limbs, and pinned them to the wall outside the entrance.
“That, that is…!”
and.
One of the agents of the intelligence agency, who had been lying on the floor, could see through the open door and out the window beyond.
Shh …
“It’s a signal…! A rescue signal…! A rescue signal has been sent up from the main house-, gasp… ?!”
He saw something flashing above his head and immediately rolled over.
Crunch…!
“… … ?!”
It was a huge, black sledgehammer that passed his head by a hair’s breadth and shattered the floor.
And then he saw the gigantic figure of the master of the hammer, clad in black iron armor all over his body, and screamed.
“Branch owner…!”
“I got it…!”
Papapang…!
The large bow fired a swift and accurate shot.
Kang, kakang…!
and.
As expected, the iron sword pierced through the black armor as accurately as a sheet of paper.
but.
“Kururur…!”
“Wh, what…?!”
A monster wearing black armor and emitting a foul smell of sulfur from beneath his helmet is raising his hammer high without a care in the world.
“What the heck-?!”
The last moment.
Instead of closing his eyes tightly, the agent of the information agency decided to face his death to the very end.
And just before that huge hammer sank into his chest.
Phew, phew, phew!
I could see the blade, imbued with a sharp sword energy, piercing through the chest of the armored monster.
The shape of the blade was clearly not that of the Luoyang Sword School.
“Crunch… ?!”
“That’s not enough…!”
The branch manager shouted urgently, but there was no need for him to do so.
Kiiing…!
The moment I felt like I heard the sound of the sword vibrating, it became a painting that filled the black room.
‘This scent…?!’
Plum blossom.
Just after hundreds of plum blossoms were in full bloom to the eyes and sense of smell of the informant.
Kakak, kakakakakakak…!
The armored monster collapsed into dozens of pieces without even a scream.
“Phew, fortunately it’s not too late.”
The agent of the intelligence agency, who had confirmed the middle-aged man’s face, shouted his name with cheers.
“Hwasan Sword Dragon, Gam Woo-hyeon…!”
A genius warrior who lost his position as the head disciple of the Hwasan faction, but whose skills had advanced remarkably, smiled.
“I came at the request of the Grand Duke. Let’s escape.”
* * *
“Are you talking about the Hwasan faction…?!”
“Not only them.”
Yeon So-hyeon shrugged her shoulders.
“At the same time, the Taecheong Jinin of the Wudangpa (武當派) will also begin to move.”
“But how do they know the locations of our swordsmen’s information bases-?!”
“-what.”
Yeon So-hyeon answered quickly, cutting off the question.
“They are being attacked like crazy and are shooting out firecrackers asking for help, so there’s no need to even think about it.”
“ah…!”
at that time.
“… But, Chairman.”
The head of the hospital, Hak Woon Hyung, asked with a hollow laugh.
“Didn’t you say that there is no arrangement for Chun-lian?”
“Yes, I did. I definitely said that. But… .”
Yeon So-hyeon answered with a sly smile.
“The Volcano Sect and the Shaman Sect were not arrangements for Cheonlian, but rather a countermeasure against the Demonic Cult that had been promised from the beginning.”
Yeon So-hyeon continued speaking.
“I had an alliance with the Sword Lord and Taecheong Jinin within the Hwasan and Mudang factions, but they were weaker than the leaders of their respective factions. And…”
When Yeon So-hyeon looked at Hak-un-hyeong, the head of the household, he continued speaking.
“And the leaders of those two sects had close relationships with the Sixteen Imperial Clans.”
Yeon So-hyeon spoke again.
“The Sword Army and the Taecheong Jin-in wanted the Hwasan faction and the Mudang faction to join hands with me, but that was impossible. But-.”
“Why now of all times?”
The foreigner Hakunhyung burst into laughter.
“The Demonic Cult has appeared before our eyes.”
“exactly.”
Yeon So-hyeon nodded and counted her fingers one by one.
“So, first of all. The elders of the two sects that used to belong to the Nine Sects and the Martial Arts Alliance have no choice but to fight the Demonic Cult.”
If they do not fight and just watch or run away, they will completely lose the status they had gained from their past glory.
“And secondly, in order to fight and win against the Demonic Cult in Luoyang, we must cooperate with our Luoyang Sword Family. But thirdly, Luoyang Sword Family is currently-.”
“-The chairman is in control.”
The foreigner Hakunhyung burst into laughter.
“So, the leaders of the two factions that were hostile to the Chairman had no choice but to temporarily hand over the initiative to Geomgun and Taecheongjin, who were close friends of the Chairman.”
“Yes, Lord Oewon. And fourthly.”
Yeon So-hyeon continued speaking with a smile.
“The Sword Army and Taecheong Jinin, who had already been informed of the possibility of an attack by the Demonic Cult by me, will move faster than anyone else and target the Demonic Cult.”
“… So the story goes back to the beginning again.”
The foreigner Hakunhyung was impressed.
“The Sword Master and the Taecheong Jin-in will be able to find the place where the Demonic Cult can be most easily found through firecrackers. In other words, they will be saving our information bases.”
“… I see. That’s why.”
The chief of staff, who had been silent, nodded as if he understood.
“So, Chairman, up until now, you haven’t done anything about the Hwasanpa and the Wudangpa who came all the way to Luoyang.”
“That’s correct, Chief Inspector.”
Yeon So-hyeon nodded in agreement with the chief of staff’s reasoning.
“As I said, anyway. They had no choice but to join this fight the moment the Demonic Cult revealed itself publicly.”
“and.”
The chief of staff narrowed his eyes.
“Those two sects had no choice but to stay in Luoyang because of the Yongbongjihoe and its chairman…!”
The chief of staff realized.
“I see. Chairman, you…! Up until now, you have been moving the board to clean up the demonic cult within Luoyang at this very moment when the Yongbong Branch is being held…!”
“Indeed, it is the Chief of Staff.”
That’s right.
All of this.
From the time when Yeon So-hyeon brought in the swordsman of the volcano and the shaman Tae-cheong Jin-in from the north.
In the end, it was a stepping stone that could be laid down because the intention was to later clean up the Demonic Cult in Luoyang.
“… But, Chairman.”
The Chief of Staff continued speaking, suppressing the pounding of his old heart.
“The Demonic Cult must have known that if they revealed themselves like this, the Hwasan and Shaman factions would eventually take action, even if it was late.”
Moreover.
If there was a magician from the Zhuge family with clairvoyance, it would have been even more impossible for him not to know.
“I guess so.”
Yeon So-hyeon nodded obediently.
“If you don’t know that, you’ll be disappointed.”
“Then, Chairman. Are you saying that the Volcano faction and the Non-partisan faction could be in trouble?”
“Yes, Chief Inspector.”
“Then, before any major problems arise for them and the visitors to Luoyang, let’s release our forces into the city right now.”
“-no.”
Yeon So-hyeon cut off the chief of staff’s speech.
“The main family’s forces will not be released until the end. As you know, the Demonic Cult’s ultimate target is always the main family.”
“But then…?”
Yeon So-hyeon smiled meaningfully at the question from the chief of staff.
* * *
“What, what is this situation…?”
A narrow and old room.
A group of nervous young men stood in the middle, each holding their weapons tightly.
“I keep hearing a strange crying sound…!”
“Backs together! Backs together…!”
“What the hell, I just wanted to make a name for myself at the Yongbong branch…!”
At some point.
A torrential downpour began, followed by thunder and lightning striking like crazy, eerie, bizarre cries, and signal fireworks that seemed to have nothing to do with the festival going off.
“Ah, Buddha, Jade Emperor…!”
“Namu Amitabha Buddha, Namu Amitabha Buddha…!”
It was no use calling upon the names of the gods.
The strange sound of prayers whispering in their ears was driving them to the brink of madness.
At that time.
“uh…?!”
A young woman holding a spear broke away from the crowd and hurried to the window.
“What are you doing…?! Come back now…!”
“Have you gone crazy…?!”
Everyone was screaming like crazy, but a young woman looked out the window and opened the window with joy.
“this…?!”
“We’re all dead…!”
but.
What was heard outside was the exact opposite of their dire fears.
“Our Volcano faction is fighting against the demonic cult…!”
“The non-partisan group is appealing to young heroes to join the fight…!”
“Let’s fight…! Just like our seniors did…! It’s time to show the spirit of the warriors…!”
The young warriors who heard that voice made eye contact with each other.
“… … .”
“… … .”
What more is there to think about?
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…!”
“Let’s fight, you demonic bastards…!”
Young, shivering drones in an old, shabby, but insanely expensive accommodation.
Those who had come to the Yongbong branch in pursuit of fame and fame began to pour out onto the streets all at once.
* * *
“Okay, then… .”
Yeon So-hyeon rubbed her palms with an expectant expression.
“Just how far could our Celestial Vision see?”
