"Huh..."
Everyone looked at the hole in the city gate and couldn't say a word.
That was not only the enemy but also the allies.
Hong Daeyeon and Sa Mijeong also had quite surprised faces at Heo Cham's martial prowess.
'To think he could break through that thick city gate like that...'
Hong Daeyeon had not been paying much attention to the person nad Heo Cham until now.
Although he already knew that he was the leader of Cheon Myeong's direct subordinate unit, the Chunguidae, in fact, compared to the Second Demonic Squad, wasn't the Chunguidae very shabby?
Setting aside the fact that its history was short, the number of personnel was only three in total, including the leader.
That would be a level that was embarrassing to even call a unit.
When Hong Daeyeon had first heard that Heo Cham was the leader, he had thought that he had misheard sothing.
"..."
But Heo Cham, whom he had looked down on, was now confidently showing off that much martial prowess in this place.
If it were him, he didn't think he could break through the city gate like that.
Of course, although it was difficult to break a hole like that, and he could open the city gate by other ans, he could not deny the fact that he could not do it like Heo Cham.
'Still, a leader is a leader.'
A unit created by Cheon Myeong about half a year ago.
Since it had not been long since its establishnt, many parts of the Chunguidae had not been revealed until now.
The leader's skills could be said to be the skills of that unit.
Hong Daeyeon could see that the potential of the Chunguidae seen in this place was by no ans to be taken lightly.
Grin-
Looking at Heo Cham, Cheon Myeong was quietly smiling.
To think that he would open the first expedition of the Chunguidae so splendidly.
Although he had not particularly wished for such a thing, it was not that he was not in a good mood.
No, rather, it could be said to be good.
Cheon Myeong drew his sword and shouted at the people.
"The leader of the Chunguidae, Heo Cham, has opened the city gate!"
"...!"
"All troops, advance into the city gate!"
As Cheon Myeong shouted with a loud voice, shouts were heard one after another.
Accordingly, the morale of the allies, which was raised.
The fact that Heo Cham had opened the city gate by himself could be said to be a feat that was more than enough to boost the morale of the allies.
Pat-
As the tide of the battle seed to have turned this way, Cheon Myeong finally got off his horse and began to run to the city gate.
Since Heo Cham had worked so hard and had brought the montum to this side, could he just stand still?
When the montum ca, he had to surely hold on to it so that it would not tilt to the other side anymore.
Tat-tat-tat-
Cheon Myeong quickly approached the city wall, dodging the people here and there.
And as the distance got closer to so extent, Cheon Myeong jumped up, kicking the ground strongly.
No matter how much it was Cheon Myeong, it seed that he could not jump higher than the height of the city wall with a single leap.
However.
As Cheon Myeong kicked once more while floating in the air, just as when he had jumped up from the ground, Cheon Myeong's figure received a propulsion and floated higher.
Then, Cheon Myeong was able to rise to a height that far exceeded the city wall, and soon, Cheon Myeong's two eyes were directed at the target below him.
'The way to surely hold on to the montum that Heo Cham has brought...'
That was, of course, to cut off the enemy general's head.
In this situation, that could be said to be Jeok Yeoseong's head.
From the beginning, Cheon Myeong had jumped up with the intention of cutting Jeok Yeoseong's head.
At that mont, a red sword ki rose from the sword that Cheon Myeong was holding.
At the sa ti, his figure, which was rotating rapidly.
Cheon Myeong perford the Mad Dragon's Tail Heat Slash and quickly fell down on Jeok Yeoseong's head.
"Block it! No matter what, block the city gate so that the enemies can't co in any further!"
anwhile, Jeok Yeoseong was shouting at his subordinates, not knowing that fact.
Since the city gate was breached by Heo Cham, Jeok Yeoseong's mind was filled with only the thought of blocking the city gate.
Since he could not really handle the situation if the enemies were to rush in any further, that would be the top priority now, more than anything else.
"B-branch manager...!"
"...?"
"Look over there!"
At that mont, one of the subordinates shouted at Jeok Yeoseong.
At the sa ti, a finger that was pointing behind.
Jeok Yeoseong unconsciously turned his head in the direction the subordinate was pointing.
"...!"
At the sa ti as he turned his head, Jeok Yeoseong's two eyes widened as if he couldn't believe it.
What on earth was that floating in the sky?
Although it felt as if a red sun were rising, Jeok Yeoseong could imdiately see that its identity was not the sun.
Because it was getting closer to him.
At the sa ti, Jeok Yeoseong saw the face of a person in it.
'Ch-Cheon Myeong...!'
Why on earth was Cheon Myeong in a place like that?
Setting aside everything else, Jeok Yeoseong could not understand why Cheon Myeong was now falling towards this place from a height that far exceeded the city wall.
However, it was an undeniable fact that Cheon Myeong was now heading this way.
If he could just cut Cheon Myeong's head, he would be able to pull the tilted montum back to this side at once.
Jeok Yeoseong drew his sword, hoping for a glimr of hope.
At the sa ti, a sword ki was also created from Jeok Yeoseong's sword.
At the sa ti, his figure jumped up, kicking the ground before Cheon Myeong completely fell.
Jeok Yeoseong swung his sword at Cheon Myeong, and Cheon Myeong also stopped his rotation just before colliding with Jeok Yeoseong and swung his sword.
As their swords crossed, the two landed on opposite sides.
Although Cheon Myeong had landed among the enemies, no one could rush at Cheon Myeong.
Because the red sword ki that was flickering from Cheon Myeong's sword was giving off a rather dangerous feeling.
A feeling similar to being in front of a ferocious beast.
Swish-
At that mont, Cheon Myeong quietly turned around.
The place where Cheon Myeong's gaze was directed was where Jeok Yeoseong was standing, and even now, Jeok Yeoseong was looking forward, just as when he had landed.
Clang-
At that mont, with a sharp sound, the sword that Jeok Yeoseong was holding broke.
The half-broken blade that fell on the floor.
Soon, Jeok Yeoseong also dropped the hilt on the floor.
"Ugh..."
Jeok Yeoseong staggered forward with a groan.
But soon, his steps, which were stopped, blocked by the fortress wall.
Spreading his arms, Jeok Yeoseong fell as if he were collapsing towards the fortress wall.
Drip-
At that mont, a red line appeared on Jeok Yeoseong's neck.
At the sa ti, the fresh blood that poured out from there.
With the surroundings filled with red blood, the head that had fallen from the body fell below the city wall.
Thud-
Jeok Yeoseong's head, which had fallen from the top of the city wall, rolled on the ground in vain.
That was the mont when the death of the enemy general was confird.
And in order to make this fact more certain, Cheon Myeong shouted with a loud voice.
"I have cut off the enemy general's head!"
"...!"
"Ride this montum and occupy the city wall!"
As Cheon Myeong shouted, shouts were heard from all sides.
Of course, that shout was let out by the allies, and on the contrary, the enemies' faces turned pale and they could not make any sound.
Swish-
At that mont, Cheon Myeong's gaze, which was silently directed at the surroundings.
The enemies who t Cheon Myeong's eyes were startled and trembled.
"The leader who was giving you orders is dead."
"...!"
"Are you still going to fight?"
Cheon Myeong asked them.
Then, the sound of weapons being dropped was heard continuously from all sides, and soon, voices shouting surrender, even kneeling, were heard from here and there.
"I-I surrender!"
"We were forced to attack because of the order! So please, at least our lives..."
"We were wrong! Please show us rcy just once!"
In a battlefield, the morale of the allies could be said to be the most important.
Especially the mont one of the allies shouts surrender, that energy spreads in all directions in an instant like an epidemic.
Look now.
As a few people shouted surrender at Cheon Myeong's question, even though he had not done anything, didn't that energy spread in all directions in an instant?
It seed that there were already more people who were kneeling and surrendering on the city wall than people who were standing.
"..."
Cheon Myeong looked at them without a word.
Of course, although these people were enemies who had attacked him, no matter how much it was an order.
Enemies are killed without rcy.
Since that was the iron rule, if it were the usual, he would not have spared them without a special reason.
'Although the guys here are enemies, they are not the real enemies.'
The real enemy was the Jeonsu family. From the beginning, Cheon Myeong had co to settle things with the Jeonsu family.
These people would just be puppets who were not even Su Yijeong's hands and feet.
If you just change the master of a puppet, you will be able to fix it and use it again later.
If he were to kill all of them here, a situation where the Seoha branch itself would be paralyzed might co, so Cheon Myeong decided to spare them.
'Although pulling out the root is pulling out the root, there is no need to waste the power of this cult unnecessarily.'
What he had been trying to pull out from the beginning was only the root that was so rotten that it was impossible to save.
If there was a possibility of saving them, saving them as much as possible would be for the sake of the Demonic Cult.
Cheon Myeong thought so and withdrew his sword ki.
Thump-
At that mont, Heo Cham approached Cheon Myeong's side.
"Young Master Cheon Myeong!"
Heo Cham, who was approaching with a rather urgent appearance.
Cheon Myeong looked at Heo Cham, who was approaching him, and said calmly.
"Oh, you're here?"
"Here... how could you do such a reckless thing?"
"You also ran out by yourself."
"..."
As Cheon Myeong said, Heo Cham could not say anything.
If you just looked at the situation, it was the sa that he had also been reckless.
At that mont, Hong Daeyeon and Sa Mijeong also approached Cheon Myeong's side.
"You ca just in ti."
Cheon Myeong, who said that, looking at the two.
He had sothing to order Hong Daeyeon and Sa Mijeong anyway.
"You two, please take care of the aftermath here."
"The aftermath...?"
"Spare the guys who surrender and bind them. It's okay to kill the guys who continue to resist."
"...What are you going to do now, Young Master?"
Hong Daeyeon asked Cheon Myeong.
Then, a gaze that was silently directed at the inside of the city wall.
The place where Cheon Myeong's gaze was directed was a huge hall that was so large that its shape was clearly visible even from here.
"I'm going to Su Yijeong."
"If so, then we will also go with you."
"No, soone has to take care of the aftermath here. And if we go after finishing all the work here, Su Yijeong might run away."
"..."
"Only the Chunguidae will follow . The rest will prioritize the work here."
Of course, Cheon Myeong did not know exactly how many enemies were left in the Jeonsu family.
However, his honest feeling was that he wanted to finish it with his own hands.
The Chunguidae alone is enough to assist.
"...I understand."
As Hong Daeyeon answered, Cheon Myeong walked towards the direction where the hall was visible.
And Heo Cham, who was following behind him.
Soon, Seopung and Yu Daeha had also joined them.
"...Let's go."
Saying that with a aningful voice, Cheon Myeong's figure disappeared from that spot.
At the sa ti, the three who disappeared, following Cheon Myeong.
Soon, there was no one left in that spot.
"Will it be okay? Even if we just send them..."
At that mont, Sa Mijeong asked Hong Daeyeon.
Since she had the thought that Cheon Myeong's personal safety might be in danger with just that number, Sa Mijeong had asked, but no answer ca from Hong Daeyeon.
In the end, as Sa Mijeong turned her head and looked at that side, Hong Daeyeon finally opened his mouth.
"...For now, we should follow the Young Master's order."
"..."
"Let's do that first, and then think about it later."
A voice that sounded sowhat aningful.
Hearing those words, Sa Mijeong had no choice but to just nod her head.
