A vast army was moving across the plain.
A sense of pressure felt even from the outside.
Although one would have been trendous, since the Second and Third Demonic Squads were moving together, that sense of pressure felt several tis greater.
"..."
Among them, the Chunguidae was also included.
Of course, since the number of mbers of the Chunguidae was only three, it was not that noticeable on the outside, but still, wasn't the Chunguidae also a proper unit?
So it could be said that this army was composed of a total of three units.
"...Hey."
At that mont, Seopung called Yu Daeha, who was riding a horse side by side with him.
Then, Yu Daeha, who looked at Seopung without a word.
The gaze that was just staring seed to be asking Seopung why he had called him.
"Uh... don't you think we should increase our numbers a bit?"
"Why?"
"Why, you ask? Do you still say that even after seeing that?"
Seopung said that and looked at the mbers of the Second and Third Demonic Squads behind him.
Yu Daeha, who followed his gaze and looked at that side.
However, even after seeing the mbers of the other units, Yu Daeha's reaction was indifferent.
"What's wrong with that?"
"The sense of pressure is different. The sense of pressure!"
"...?"
"I hadn't thought about it until now, but..."
While accompanying them, Seopung had keenly realized that fact.
Of course, although it might be felt that way because they were the mbers of the Second and Third Demonic Squads, if you just looked at their individual skills, they were by no ans inferior to them.
Rather, it would be a level that could be said to be superior to them.
However, no matter how outstanding their individual skills were, there was an insurmountable weakness in the Chunguidae.
"...No matter how much, isn't it a bit much to call a unit with only two mbers a unit?"
"What's wrong with that? You should know that the Chunguidae is a small elite group in the first place."
"Even if it's small, it has to be small to a certain extent!"
"..."
"Does it make sense that the total number of people, including the leader, can be counted on one hand?"
In fact, Seopung had thought that Cheon Myeong would supplent the personnel later.
However, even after half a year since the establishnt of the Chunguidae, the number of personnel was the sa, and Cheon Myeong also did not seem to have any intention of supplenting the personnel.
Although Seopung had not had any particular thoughts about that until now, seeing the Second and Third Demonic Squads moving in formation like that, he could not hide the feeling of being sowhat envious.
"Kh... look at that. How cool is that? Isn't it very enviable to see them moving in perfect formation like that?"
"...Not at all."
"What? And you call yourself a warrior? You're really not envious of that?"
"..."
Rather, isn't it inconvenient to have to move in accordance with the rules like that?
The more people there are, the more things you have to pay attention to, so of course it will be like that.
On the other hand, the Chunguidae was not particularly bound by such things.
Because there were no personnel to do so.
Yu Daeha, on the contrary, was very satisfied with this point, unlike Seopung.
"You must be the strange one. I don't particularly want to move so uncomfortably."
"What?"
"And I like it now. Since there are only us, Young Master Cheon Myeong pays more attention to ."
"...You liked that hellish training?"
Seopung asked Yu Daeha, shuddering.
To think that he liked that torture that took place under Cheon Myeong's guidance.
For Seopung, he could not understand those words at all.
"I like it. Because I can clearly feel that I have beco stronger than before."
"..."
"You must be feeling that too."
Of course, he agreed with those words.
Although he often had the thought that the training that Cheon Myeong made him do was not sothing a human could do, a definite change was happening in his body.
Still, it seed that Seopung would not be able to say that he liked it as clearly as Yu Daeha.
"In a way, we are now being taught by a master who has reached the ultimate realm of demonic power. And personally."
"..."
"You foolish bastard, you don't even know how blessed you are."
"Are you done talking now?"
"If you like moving in a group like that, leave the Chunguidae. Then it's good for . If you disappear, Young Master Cheon Myeong will look after more closely."
As Yu Daeha said that, Seopung's face instantly turned red.
"I don't want to! Why should I leave the Chunguidae?"
"Didn't you have complaints about the Chunguidae until just a mont ago?"
"Not at all! I like the current Chunguidae too."
"..."
As Seopung said that, Yu Daeha smirked and turned his head.
And at that mont, from the front, Heo Cham approached the two and said.
"You two, that's enough of the chatter."
"..."
"We will be arriving soon."
As Heo Cham said that, the two's faces changed in an instant.
Far in the front, a huge city wall was beginning to be seen, and the two could imdiately see that that was the entrance to Seoha.
"This can be said to be the official first expedition for the Chunguidae."
Of course, although they had encountered enemies in the North Sea, wasn't that just a matter of hitting from behind?
Since it was not fighting from the beginning like this, Heo Cham had told the two that this was the first expedition.
"The Chunguidae is Young Master Cheon Myeong's direct subordinate unit."
"..."
"Of course, if you just look at the overall military strength, the Second and Third Demonic Squads are superior... but still, I have no intention of riding on those guys' coattails."
At the very least, he had to perform to the extent that he would not tarnish Cheon Myeong's na.
Heo Cham had been thinking that in his mind all along before coming here.
"How about you? Do you just want to take it easy and ride along?"
Heo Cham asked, looking at the two.
Then, as if there were no need to think, the two answered imdiately.
"Of course not! I will be the most active!"
"...I will firmly implant the na of the Chunguidae in their minds."
Hearing the answers from the two, Heo Cham smiled as if he were satisfied.
"Good. Then the one who is the least active will clean the Changcheon Training Ground by himself for half a year."
"...!"
Hearing Heo Cham's words, the two's eyes widened at the sa ti.
To clean the Changcheon Training Ground by himself.
Since that place was so wide that even two people could not finish it in an hour, it was absolutely absurd to do that by oneself.
No, more than that, the fact of cleaning by oneself was the most unpleasant.
'I can't lose!'
To think that he would be cleaning while the other would be going ho leisurely.
He shuddered so much that he didn't want to imagine it.
Since Seopung and Yu Daeha were both thinking the sa thing, a fighting spirit that was visible to the eye began to rise.
Grin-
Heo Cham, who quietly moved his horse forward, watching them.
As expected, it seed that making those two compete with each other would bring out their best abilities.
'I don't think I need to worry too much.'
They were two people who hated to lose to each other even over trivial things.
Perhaps if he did this, they would fight to the death.
Heo Cham thought so in his mind and approached Cheon Myeong, who was at the front.
"Where have you been?"
As Heo Cham approached, Cheon Myeong asked.
Then, Heo Cham said, scratching his head as if he were embarrassed.
"I was just boosting the morale of the mbers for a mont..."
"Really? You've beco a proper leader now."
"Haha..."
"So, has the morale of the mbers risen a bit?"
"Perfectly."
Although he had used a trick that was not quite a trick.
There would be no need to tell Cheon Myeong that far.
"Good. That's great."
"..."
"The Chunguidae will continue to follow from now on. Unlike the other two units, we will always act together."
As Cheon Myeong said that, a strange light flashed in Heo Cham's eyes.
Setting aside the Second and Third Demonic Squads, for Cheon Myeong to speak in that way, didn't that an that he trusted and had expectations for the Chunguidae that much?
Just as he had said to Seopung and Yu Daeha earlier, Heo Cham wanted to surely et Cheon Myeong's expectations.
"As you command."
Heo Cham answered, bowing his head.
Then, Cheon Myeong, who was watching him silently, soon turned his head to the front.
Soon, the army led by Cheon Myeong was lined up in front of the city gate.
"..."
A huge city wall is visible in front.
Although not all the branches had city walls built like that, the branches with large forces had entrances that were different from other places like that.
Especially the Seoha branch, where the Jeonsu family, one of the Five Great Demonic Families, had established its position, could be said to be within the top five among the thirteen branches if you just looked at the size.
It would be fair to say that the Seoha branch itself was the power of the Jeonsu family.
'The gate is closed.'
They would already know that he was heading this way.
But what did it an that the city gate was firmly closed?
Although it was not yet certain, as expected, it did not seem that things would go smoothly.
"Wait here."
Cheon Myeong said to the people around him and slowly moved his horse.
Clip-clop, clip-clop-
With a vast army behind him, Cheon Myeong alone was heading towards the city gate.
And as the distance seed to have gotten closer, Cheon Myeong stopped his horse and said to the people on the city wall.
"I am Cheon Myeong."
"..."
"Open the city gate right now."
Two simple sentences that contained only the main point.
As he said that with his internal energy, Cheon Myeong's voice was sufficiently transmitted to the people on the city gate.
Swish-
At that mont, a man ca forward from among the people.
A middle-aged man with a rather burly build.
That man looked down at Cheon Myeong and said.
"I am Jeok Yeoseong, the branch manager of the Seoha branch."
"..."
"Young Master Cheon Myeong... for what business on earth have you co here?"
And with that much of an army behind him.
Jeok Yeoseong was asking Cheon Myeong, omitting those words.
"The person I have business with is not you."
"..."
"If you do not open the gate right now, I will consider you to be an accomplice of the great traitor, Su Yijeong, and will give you the appropriate punishnt."
To be honest, they would already know the reason why he had co here.
Therefore, Cheon Myeong did not speak at length and imdiately warned them.
Wouldn't it be against reason to not even give the enemies a chance to surrender?
This one sentence would be the minimum rcy that Cheon Myeong could give them.
"..."
However, no answer ca back from the other side.
Watching them, Cheon Myeong silently drew the sword at his waist and held it out.
"The sin of trying to kill , breaking the rules of the ranking match! The sin of Su Yeongseong, the young master of the Jeonsu family, using the Star-Sucking Great Art, which is designated as a forbidden demonic art in this cult!"
"...!"
"I will now question that sin!"
Of course, now he would have to question it not with words but with a sword.
The last chance to end it with words had already passed.
"Attack!"
Cheon Myeong shouted towards the front.
At that mont, an army rushed at the city gate like a wave with a trendous shout.
"Waaaaaaaaa-!"
The bloody battle had begun.
A bloody battle to pull out the rotten root.
