Who threatened Cheonma Hara with a knife - Chapter 463



Only Noblemtl

463 Officials (3)

Ilmok, who had momentarily lost his senses at the shocking announcement of Wei Jinhak, shouted urgently.

“Your Majesty, this is too much responsibility for a small person. Please, take it from me.”

As soon as Ilmok finished speaking, for some reason Wei Jin-hak burst into laughter.

“Hahaha. What do you think? Do you think the duties of Grand Master are too much for a Left Secretary?”

When Wei Jinxue asked those gathered in the scriptures, Ilmok also looked at them quickly.

But, I didn’t get the answer I wanted.

“Considering the achievements of the Left Commander in the last war, it seems truly worthy.”

“If you are a left-handed person, you will likely be able to accomplish the task of mediating between various ministries.”

There was not a single person who objected to the excessiveness of the title of Taesa.

One man below all others, ten thousand above all. A young man not yet thirty years old sits on the throne of power, next only to the Pope, above all other ministries.

“Hahaha. Since everyone recognizes the abilities and achievements of the Left Master, I will appoint Left Master Ilmok as Grand Master.”

The hearty laughter of Wei Jin-hak sounded like the laughter of King Yeomra to Ilmok.

‘Yeah, yeah. I guess he just gave me a decent amount of space. If he just mediates, there won’t be much work to do.’

While Ilmok was burning his positive circuit to escape reality, Wei Jin-hak’s voice once again pierced his ears.

“In addition, I will give the Grand Master the authority to appoint all the heads of each ministry, so from now on, discuss with the Grand Master and select the lower-level officials of each ministry and begin the work of each ministry.”

Limited appointment power to ministers.

Since the heads of each ministry were given the power to appoint vice ministers anyway, it didn’t seem to matter much, but the reality was completely different.

Talent is limited, but there are many ministries.

Naturally, every ministry would want to attract talented people to their ministry.

In the meantime, the Grand Master was given the authority and responsibility of ‘appointment power’ and ‘mediation of each department.’

Those who noticed the meaning behind those two things rushed to Ilmok without exception.

‘Ha… life.’

Surrounded by those who cheered him on from all sides, Ichimoku had no choice but to close his eyes tightly.

* * *

At a time when Ilmok was struggling under the pressure of the heads of various ministries and was laying the foundation for each ministry.

A border area formerly ruled by the Western Military Governor-General.

The edict sent by Wei Jin-hak arrived there.

“This is the leader’s order to join forces with the Northern Army Command to drive out Myeol-a-geol.”

Since it was a document written before Wei Jin-hak proclaimed himself Pope, Jong-ri-chui read the contents of the document along with the title of Pope.

“Ha. So you’re saying I have to wait until they join again? Why don’t I just wipe them out without waiting!”

Baekwoonhak sighed openly at Dokgo Ryong’s shout.

“Is your head just for decoration, Usa? It really is an ugly decoration. They are all cavalry, so if we attack, there will be an opening and innocent people will be plundered.”

The front line they had to block was wide and the enemy’s cavalry was highly mobile, so they had no choice but to continue defending.

Meanwhile, Baek Woon-hak and Jong Ri-chu were in charge of stopping Dokgo-ryong, who kept throwing tantrums every day, threatening to charge into the enemy lines.

After Baek Woon-hak’s criticism, which was almost like a curse, Jong-ri-chu opened his mouth as if to mediate.

“If the North Korean army really joins, the hole in the front line will be filled, so it seems that we will be able to charge as you wish.”

For two days, we somehow managed to keep the front line going by stopping Dokgo Ryong.

A messenger riding a horse and carrying a flag with the word “North” written on it came to their fort.

“So, right after confirming the decree sent by the leader, the North Korean army departed this way, and you ran ahead to deliver the news, is that what you’re saying?”

When Dokgo Ryong asked again to briefly summarize the words of the Northern Army messenger, the messenger bowed his head and answered.

“That’s right.”

“When exactly will the North Korean army arrive?”

“I will arrive around tomorrow evening.”

As soon as the messenger finished his report, the corners of Dokgo Ryong’s mouth went up so much that his molars were visible.

* * *

Two days later. Early in the morning.

A garrison formed across the border of the Central Plains.

“Oh, Khagan!!”

At the urgent cries of his subordinates, the Kagan of Myeol-a-geol opened his eyes wide and sat up.

“Seo, the demonic bastards are advancing from the castle walls!”

The Khagan asked back at his subordinate’s report.

“What happened to that crazy guy?”

“He is riding at the forefront!”

The corners of Kagan’s mouth went up crookedly.

‘Before winter comes, the opportunity has finally arrived.’

Nearly a month had passed since the attack was launched between the Imperial Family and the Cheonmasin Sect.

The raids began after the harvest season, and winter was just around the corner, but they had not yet achieved a tangible harvest.

The biggest culprit was that guy. The left-wing leader of the Demonic Cult.

A terrifying demon that displays strange magical powers.

Fortunately or unfortunately, he left shortly after. However, in his stead, some crazy old man was left guarding the North.

Although it was nothing compared to the divine power of the Left Commander, the Right Commander was also a difficult opponent.

Above all, the damage caused by the left-wing attack was already so severe that it was not feasible to choose an all-out war.

That is why, up until now, we have been fighting a fierce battle of wits using our mobility.

However, time was not on their side.

The winters in the North were terribly cold, and they did not have plentiful supplies.

I was contemplating whether I should use all the warriors of the plains as sacrifices to break through the wall, but then this opportunity came.

“The main force will draw them in and stall for time! The left and right wings are to spread out and start pillaging through the empty enemy walls!”

As soon as the Khagan’s order was given, the subordinate who had come to deliver the news ran out again.

Immediately afterwards, Myeol-a-geol and the warriors of the grasslands who were subordinate to them moved in unison.

As they were just forming their ranks, the left and right wings began to spread out.

The crazy old man who was running at the forefront of the Cheonmasingyo side finally arrived close to the Myeol-a-geol camp.

“Those who are confident in their abilities, let’s unite with me right now!! Hahahahahaha!!”

To Dokgo Ryong’s scream filled with internal energy, Myeol-a-geol’s side gladly responded with arrows.

As the air was filled with arrows fired by the warriors of the plains while mounted on horseback, Dokgo Ryong swung his greatsword wildly.

“Do you think you can harm me with such a petty method?!”

The arrows that filled the sky were often bounced off Dokgo Ryong’s great sword.

Dokgo Ryong, who had finally reached the enemy lines with his giant black horse, swung his greatsword like a madman.

Crunch!

With no one to block his sword, a red path stained with blood and corpses was created.

Because he could not just sit by and watch that scene, the Khagan in the center rode his horse forward.

“When I give the signal, prepare to retreat!”

If I could kill that crazy old man easily, I would just wipe out the enemy main force, and if things didn’t go well, I would retreat while drawing in some enemy main force.

After all, their greatest strength was mobility.

Dokgo Ryong burst into hearty laughter at the sight of Myeol-a-geol Kagan running towards him.

“Hahahahaha!! The coward finally came out!!”

“I’ll make you food for eagles!!”

A loud noise rang out as Myeol-a-geol Kagan and Dokgo-ryong clashed their curved swords and large swords against each other.

“Tangrisiyo!!”

“Heavenly horse has arrived!! May all fortunes come true!!”

As if the explosion was a signal, the soldiers on both sides began to mingle.

* * *

A few hours later.

“Hey!!”

Myeol-a-geol Kagan was riding a horse and galloping somewhere with his men.

A thin stream of blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth.

It was because of the internal injuries sustained in the fight with Dokgo Ryong.

“Yes, Inom~!!! I’ll take it!!”

And from behind me, Dokgo Ryong’s scream was heard.

‘That’s crazy.’

It was simply absurd for the Khagan.

It wasn’t a one-sided defeat. The fight was close to being evenly matched. In fact, Dokgo Ryong was also injured.

However, the retreat was chosen for tactical reasons.

But, there was a guy who had the same injuries as me, and he was chasing me like a madman, screaming loudly.

“Your Majesty, thanks to that fool, we will have enough food to survive the winter.”

They were currently moving to secure an escape route for the left wing that had been secretly sent to the enemy border.

While nodding to his subordinate’s words, Khagan had other thoughts on his mind.

‘We’ve achieved some results, but the problem lies in returning to the North.’

The damage was too great compared to the results obtained.

‘In order to prevent a rebellion, we have no choice but to focus on internal discipline… .’

When I was thinking about executing some of the tribal chieftains as an example to intimidate them.

I heard someone screaming from up ahead.

“The Left is coming back!”

There was something odd about Kagan.

“You’re back already?”

It was not enough to simply plunder the military provisions inside the castle walls.

After advancing beyond the city walls to the villages or cities of the central plains, they had to capture those there to be used as slaves and plunder food, cloth, and other items before returning.

It was impossible to finish the looting this quickly.

Feeling the anxiety creeping up on him, Kagan used his internal energy to strengthen his eyes and looked ahead.

A large army galloping on horseback.

But upon closer inspection, I could see infantry behind the cavalry.

There was no such thing as a disease in Myeol-a-geol.

Immediately afterwards, a loud shout erupted from among the unidentified army.

“Punish those barbarians who dare to plunder the people of the Central Plains!!”

The owner of that voice was none other than the Northern Army Admiral.

Only then did Khagan realize that something was wrong.

‘Are you saying that all the left wingers heading this way were annihilated?’

Just then, a madman’s shout was heard from behind.

“Hahahaha! You’re a coward!!”

At the same time, an old man’s loud shout erupted from the front.

“Don’t leave a single one alive!!”

It was truly a dilemma.

* * *

When the Northern Army joined and the Tianma Sect achieved a great victory, Zhuge Liang returned to Beijing.

When Zhuge Wen bowed to Wei Jinhe to show his respect, Wei Jinhe nodded and asked directly.

“How did the meeting go?”

Perhaps because he knew the nature of Wei Jin-hak, Zhuge Liang also answered concisely.

“Their sole purpose was to protect the people from corrupt officials and Japanese pirates.”

“Hmm. Well then, I guess you won’t have much resistance to joining our new religion.”

“Yes, I do. I just wanted to meet the leader in person before deciding whether or not to join the new religion.”

Wei Jin-hak nodded at Zhuge Wen’s explanation.

“Even if they wanted to meet Jim, there are still remnants of the Eastern Army left, so it would be difficult to come right away. We should send reinforcements and quickly wipe out the remnants of the Eastern Army.”

At Wei Jinxue’s words, some of those gathered in the scriptures had bright eyes.

Those who had not yet been selected for central control. In other words, those who were scheduled to be appointed to military posts.

Because it meant that the opportunity to fight against the Eastern Army and achieve great feats had finally arrived.

Zhuge Liang also lowered his head but his eyes sparkled.

“I beg your pardon, Your Majesty. Also, please punish the shameful person who dared to call Your Majesty the leader.”

It was because of the expression ‘Jim’ that I noticed that Wei Jinxue had started to claim the title of emperor.

“Hahaha. It’s okay. I was away from my post so the news came late. How can you punish me for something like this?”

As Wei Jin-hak said this, Yin Wei-gak-ju opened up the large piece of paper he had used before and showed it to him.

Jegalmun, who had inspected the central control of the Cheonmasingyo, did not show any particular reaction even after seeing the name of Ilmok who had been appointed as Grand Master.

Instead, he discussed other topics, not central control.

“Your Majesty, you have begun to proclaim the new empire. Shouldn’t you now prepare for its founding? You should decide on a name for the new empire and prepare to move the capital.”
