Chapter 186 – Chapter 10 – Greening

After the war with the undead ended, analysts, including the wizards of the Mage Tower, drank bitter water from the disastrous results that could not be called victory and began to analyze the cause.

Lang syne. When the King of the Undead was born and he invaded the world of the living with an army of the dead, the living did not unite easily.

Even in the face of the embodied wave of death approaching to swallow all living things, the nations that were enemies of each other could not reconcile.

The elves couldn’t give up their forests.

Goblins and Orcs focused more on hunting single boars.

The dragons were silent until the enemy reached their lair.

In particular, the judgment of the pope at the time, who failed to distinguish between the army of the dead and the demons, defined them as one, and then rejected the demons, was the worst mistake in human history.

In the end, it was only after the demons were surrounded and swallowed by the wave of death that they realized that the king of the undead has nothing to do with black magic and exists to devour all ‘living things’, including the demons. I could say that I was an unfair victim.

It was a problem that they realized it only after beheading more than 95% of the black magicians on the continent, and if they used it well, they destroyed a number that could be a strong strategic factor with their hands.

In the end, it was only after Saint Erdel Bright personally publicly executed the pope at the time, who had made all sorts of discriminatory remarks, including the rejection of demons, on the subject of worshiping the Goddess of Life, that the coalition could be formed.

This happened only after more than 70% of life on the entire continent had already been reduced.

“These fucks are really ..”

– Stinging

It’s been two weeks since I waited for the blood bridge in front of Shintu’s remarks.

Yeo So-cheon pressed her brows as she watched the Murim people fighting each other every day.

I deliberately hid the entrance to avoid fighting, and even though the entrance hasn’t been revealed yet, they are sitting fighting with the treasure inside.

It’s not necessarily a fight between a faction and a private faction, but even between political factions, don’t they growl and fight between factions that don’t get along with each other?

‘Am I going through so much trouble to protect these bastards?’

There were days when my head hurt so much that I thought about that for a moment.

And even though she is one of the sect’s best adherents, that doesn’t mean she has control over all sect warriors.

A warrior from Kunlun would have the right to control, but if he belonged to another faction, he had no obligation to listen to him, so he had no choice but to ask them to follow him out of courtesy or press him with power.

In the end, he had no choice but to admit that this was his own mistake.

She trusted her juniors too much.

I never thought they would be able to control their youthful energy.

‘I’d rather openly say that I’m waiting for a blood bridge…’

For now, an armed conflict may occur between Sapa and the Demonic Cult, which has not yet appeared, so I ordered them to wait and not lose their strength needlessly, but if it is a Blood Religion, even the most energetic juniors will be able to grasp the situation.

I don’t know if you’re really young, but if you’re here, you’ll know the fear.

Those who are a bit older may have experienced it firsthand.

‘But then I might rather hide…’

While I was thinking, unable to do this or that, someone else urgently knocked on the tent.

“Chew, Blue Sword-sama is in big trouble!!”

“Oh what else!!!”

“No, green forest’s chef!!”

“…Huh?”

.
.
.

“Hey! I’ve heard a lot of words in the meantime, but this is the first time I’m saying hello like this! Nice to meet you seniors!”

A beautiful woman with bronzed skin and a healthy-looking body greeted Geomhu and Yeo Socheon in a hearty manner.

Green wood.

As is commonly known, it refers to a group of bandits active throughout the central plains, and it can be seen that dozens of bandit groups, which were originally separate, have come together to form a group called Green Forest.

In the end, it’s just a group of thieves, but as one of the forces representing Sapa, if you’re the top of such a green forest, you can’t ignore the impact on the midfield.

No matter how much Sapa was far behind the faction in terms of power itself, it was quite dangerous to directly attack and fight in their stronghold, where they had been training while making the mountain their home.

In the end, no matter how much you subdue the green forest, bandits will eventually reappear and they will unite under the name of green forest again, because it has been a repeated fact for a long time.

And no matter how bandit he is, it is not easy to become the leader of a force that is about the size of a green forest.

‘It’s going to be about the size of a flower bed.’

Estimated age is probably late 20’s to early 30’s.

Since he was an unmanned person, his outward appearance was younger than that, but he was measured with that in mind.

I haven’t heard much from the outside because I’ve been confined to Kunlun, but I think I’ve heard it once.

The military power of the head of Green Forest is unusual.

Certainly, at that age and at that level, he was talented enough to stare at the next level before dying.

In terms of talent, he’s probably on the same level as Swordsman or himself.

Since he will be able to go back to half, he might become a person who will lead the next generation.

I don’t like green forest, but I was able to acknowledge the effort and talent that reached that level as a martial artist.

Raising the level is not simply about having great talent.

“I think I’ve heard of it too. I heard that Green Forest’s chowchaeju has risen to the top 10 masters in the world.”

“Oh no. People who don’t know anything posted it on their own, I’m not the one. How can I stand in the same position as my seniors?”

…This may sound modest, but that was actually true.

Right now, it is true that the level itself is different, but being a top 10 master is not objectively measuring how strong they are and then naming them.

Right now, the Heavenly Demon also has that name among the top ten masters.

So those who saw it on the battlefield 20 years ago know how unreliable it is.

So I don’t really care about myself.

I know there is a name on it, but I don’t even know who it is because I didn’t pay attention to memorizing the rest.

– Glance

When she slightly averted her eyes to look at Swordfish, she slightly frowned as if she didn’t want to share her story with the green housekeeper.

Well, given her personality, it was natural.

It may be the story of the days when the current householder was not the householder, but the swordsmith had toppled a lot of green forests when he was young, so he must not feel good about it.

“I’m not going to talk too long, I’ll start with the main point. You’re also here because of Sintu’s remarks, right?”

“Keuheum.. Well, among the people who came here, who isn’t? Even the seniors right now..”

“If you read the atmosphere moderately, you would know, but right now the entrance is not revealed, so I am not able to do anything. Experts are digging, but there is no news yet, and it seems that it will take a few more weeks to hear.”

“Oh is that so?”

I opened my mouth first so as not to create an uncomfortable atmosphere by having her talk with the swordsman.

“So there’s no point in fighting each other now, and we’ve been talking until now with the opinion that we should come to a peaceful agreement and take it because fighting for nothing will only shed blood.”

“Oh! Peace is good. If we fight for nothing, will we shed more blood?

“…But did Greenrim also have anything stolen by Sintu?”

“Ah, I heard that the ax the old housekeeper loved was stolen, but it doesn’t really matter. Anyway, that man has been gone for a long time.”

“Then, is there anything in particular you want?”

“…Gold and silver treasure?”

“Okay. I’ll write that down for now.”

Surprisingly, he seemed to listen to the words obediently, so he took out a scroll and started writing down the contents.

“Still, it’s fortunate that the conversation went well. I was worried that it wouldn’t cause a fuss.”

“Haha. Even though I’m an uneducated bandit, I’m aware of that. I don’t want to die early.”

“I hope you continue to do that. Please manage your subordinates well.”

To be honest, I don’t expect the bandits to stay calm.

I rolled up her exhausted paper, tied it with a string, and handed it to her, and she reached out her hand and took her paper.

And the moment her hand touches the paper

I felt a sense of incongruity somewhere.

– Exciting

“…The general manager.”

“…Why are you doing that, senpai?”

There was a strange atmosphere as they held each other’s papers.

And the sense of incongruity Yeo Socheon felt…

-Sureung…

“You… Why isn’t your heart beating?”

If you are human No, it was because I didn’t feel something that a living creature should run.

And the kind of creature that can do that now in midfield. No, there was only one race.

“… Ha. So if you get close, you’ll get caught…”

His black eyes, like those of ordinary midfielders, quickly turned red as if they were originally covered.

‘It’ happened faster than the governor moved.

-Quaaaaa!!!!

An explosion that rose from outside the tent and quickly crossed the tent and pressed them.

It was an explosion of considerable power, but all those present here were monsters that transcended the realm of humans.

-Kaaaaang!!

[After the sword?!]

[You go out and assess the situation!!]

[…I’ll leave that to you!]

-Pajijik!

When the blade of the sword collided with the ax of the head chef and a single bolt of lightning went out of the tent.

Only then did the explosion hit the two remaining in the tent, knocking on their self-defense.

Haha!! Let’s play together, senior!”

“I’ve never had a junior like you.”

“Since long ago, I’ve been wondering if the blood of plum blossom lovers smells like plum blossoms, and now I’ll answer the question!”

At the same time as she revealed her true color, she threw off her pretense and began to hear screams and metal clashes along with the sound of laughter.

The true war between the living and the dead has begun.
