Side Story Episode 82. In the rushing bloody wind (7)
Slurp.
The Yacha army slowly moved to the rear.
The Great Lord of the Ghosts shouted.
“Advance slowly!”
Rumbling!
All members of the Ghost Guard were wearing light armor.
The yakshas also wore gaiters and had a pauldron on their left shoulder, but they seemed much lighter than the demon guards.
In fact, the gaiters and pauldrons they wore were a special product of Protestantism, and were as hard as steel, but weighed in half.
On the other hand, the light armor of the Ghost Guard members was not like that. I wore armor and gaiters on my left and right shoulder blades, but despite the sturdiness, the weight did not seem to be very light.
It was clear that the Hogeomdan was a considerable organization just by arming one member to that degree.
However, in terms of overall movement, the Gwihodae was slower and heavier than the Yachailgun. If there is a head-to-head match, that heaviness will act as a positive factor, but if it enters a long-term game with a lot of movement, it will be a negative factor.
Lee Cheon-sang instantly figured out the strengths and weaknesses of his enemies and allies.
‘It’s numb.’
My left shoulder was stiff. It was the place where the enemy’s arrow hit.
It was a powerful archery technique that even crushed the hard shoulder armor. If I had caught it with my body, there was a 100% chance that I would have suffered a penetrating wound.
‘Still, he’s coming.’
The enemy was clearly advancing along this side.
‘not bad.’
If it had been me, I would have organized my ranks once more and carefully observed the enemy’s movements.
But they weren’t like that. Just looking at the enemy commander’s face, he was filled with anger.
‘Fighting is about emotions.’
Depending on whether you can influence the enemy’s emotions to your will, even difficult battles can become easier.
‘I have a lot of experience, but I don’t think I’ve ever been hit this hard.’
The two groups’ left and right attacks combined with Lee Cheon-sang’s charge. It was a tactic that was possible because the yakshas had full confidence in Lee Cheon-sang’s abilities.
Naturally, such a tactic would not work again. Fortunately, the enemy’s power was greatly reduced with one surprise strike.
‘But of course, a direct confrontation won’t work.’
Even during a surprise attack, he caught up with the retreating enemy and inflicted damage.
That’s how well trained it is. I wouldn’t have let my guard down much before, but now I won’t let my guard down this much.
It was then.
“Pick up the speed.”
The Ghost Guards increased their advance speed.
The intention was clear. It’s a head-on confrontation.
‘Other than that.’
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes were directed to the rear of the guard unit.
Although they were layer upon layer, the eyes of the archers seen through the gap between the enemies were as sharp as a hawk. Looking at the arrows already attached to the bow, the moment the command is given, they will fire like lightning.
Lee Cheon-sang said.
“Pick up the speed.”
Slurp.
The movements of the Yacha workers were smooth itself. Even when moving backwards while looking forward, the steps were smooth.
No one disturbed the walk or formation. Although I had been training for less than a month, my hands and feet felt as if I had been training for over a year.
They know it too. If an individual stands out in a group fight, his or her life is at risk. No matter what happens, you can achieve victory with minimal damage by keeping your ranks together and not panicking.
It was a strange situation.
The faces of the warlike and easily excited demons are full of coolness. On the other hand, the faces of the advancing Ghost Guards showed intense anger, murder, and strong alertness.
Slurp. Slurp.
The movements of the retreating Yaksha group were like snakes.
Do not retreat only in a straight line. It moved left and right like a reed and retreated, but it was secretive and secretive, like a snake dragging a boat on the ground.
It was designed with arrow attacks from archers in mind. Of course, you can block it well, but avoiding it altogether is much more attractive.
How much time has passed like that?
The Great Lord of the Ghosts raised his spear.
Pipipipiping!
About fifty arrows flew in the sky.
Pipipiping!
It didn’t end there. As soon as he pulled his bow, another arrow was fired like a thunderbolt, and the positions were divided into left and right.
If you try to avoid it hastily, the damage will be severe.
Lee Cheon-sang’s mouth opened.
“Gunrangbangjin (群狼防陣).”
Chiri ririn! Blah blah blah!
All the arrows that fell like a shower broke and rolled on the ground.
It was then.
Rumbling!!
The speed of the guard’s advance increased explosively in an instant.
The arrow attack was intended to momentarily block the movement of the Yacha army, but was actually the approach of the Gwiho unit.
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes sparkled.
“Charge from two directions.”
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
It was an attack by the Yacha army, which seemed as if they would retreat.
Lord Guiho, who had given the order to advance with the determination to catch up to the end, was astounded.

‘What the hell are you guys?’
Crumbling!
The two units collided, creating a terrifying shock wave.
Chiri ririn! Pow! Suddenly!
“Ugh!”
“Aaaahhh!”
“Kill!”
Bloody screams, swearing, incomprehensible moans and cries dyed the plain red.
‘Unbelievable.’
The Great Lord of Guiho was astonished.
Anyway, it attacked, so I pushed back with the intention of crushing it. However, the fighting among the front line troops was a whistle blow.
This could actually be seen as a defeat for the Gwihodae. The members of the Ghost Guard were thoroughly protected with high-quality light armor so that they could move even if they were injured.
But all they had was pauldrons and gaiters. Achieving superiority based solely on formation and individual skills meant that the unit over there had higher actual skills.
‘profit!’
The Demon Lord cried out, crumpling his face.
“Middle road open!”
Grumble!
As if the sea parted, a path opened in the middle of the unit.
Hee hee hee!
With the splendid roar of a famous horse, the Great Lord of the Ghosts drove the horse.
fast.
The divine method of a peak master can achieve a speed comparable to that of a courser’s gallop. If you are a master who is good at divine methods, you can reach even faster speeds.
However, the Demon Lord’s favorite horse had a speed that was far faster than that of most course horses. It can reach top speed from a standstill in an instant. It was not an ordinary horse.
The Great Lord of Guiho, who was immediately overwhelmed by the front line troops, swung his spear at the yakshas.
Hahaha!
The spear flew to the side with a terrifying resonating sound.
It was Lee Cheon-sang who struck down his spear. He stood at the forefront from start to finish, trampling on the Demon Lord’s troops, and even received his most powerful attack, the Demon Lord’s spear.
Crash!
Lee Cheon-sang took three steps back, offsetting the shock.
The advantage of horseback riding was its weight. The attack carried out by the weight of a horse is incomparable to the attack power of regular infantry.
It should not be said that the Great Master of Demonic Tigers who repelled Lee Cheon-sang was great, but rather that Lee Cheon-sang who received the martial arts of the Great Demon Tiger was great.
The Great Lord of the Ghosts also knew this, so he couldn’t help but be surprised.
Para la la rock!
The Yachabeon was shaken.
The Yacha soldiers who were engaged in close combat with the prosecutors at the front retreated at an alarming speed.
“You guys!”
There’s no way I’ll just let it go. At the command of the Demon Guard, the members of the Demon Guard followed with even stronger momentum.
It was then.
Flash!
Three daggers flew out from Lee Cheon-sang’s left hand. It was a dagger prepared before departure.
The target was Gwiho Daeju’s horse.
Damn it!
The Demon Lord’s spear sword deflected the dagger.
With a massive body that didn’t seem to have much delicacy, he swung the sword and spear he had drawn and blocked the sharp dagger.
The Gwihodae is part of the Hogeomdan. All warriors in the Hogeomdan were skilled with the sword. It was the same for Lord Guiho.
They fight with polearms in horseback combat and with swords in hand-to-hand combat. However, just because you are a horse rider does not mean you cannot use a sword.
The moment when the fighting power of the Great Demon Lord shines.
Quang!
Jeokyachabeon, which struck the earth with powerful force.
Hee hee hee!
The shock wave that suddenly exploded caused the Great Lord’s horse to raise its front paws high.
While the noble leader and his crew were wondering what to do.
hook!
Lee Cheon-sang, who planted the Yacha Bun on the floor, cast Bukcheon Demon Hyebo and instantly entered the side of the Great Master of Demonic Tigers.
‘this guy!’
The Demon Lord swung the sword in his left hand.
At the same time, Li Cheon-sang’s fist hit the horse’s side.
Suddenly! Fuuuuuuu!
A deep sword mark was engraved on Lee Cheon-sang’s shoulder. At the same time, the horse on which the Great Lord of the Ghosts was riding stumbled, spurting blood.
Because it was a sudden surprise attack, we were unable to apply our full force. However, the fist mixed with Geumgang Yacha Magi broke the horse’s ribs and delivered shock to the abdomen.
Faaagh!
Lee Cheon-sang, who quickly retreated, grabbed his Yacha bun and picked up speed. While he was retreating, the swords of the Ghost Guard members were aimed at Lee Cheon-sang, but he avoided all the attacks with amazing movements and retreated to where the unit was.
A look of exhaustion appeared on the faces of the angry guards.
Lee Cheon-sang’s movements were full of strangeness that they had never seen before. It seemed as if he could clearly see not only when, where, and how many swords were flying, but also what direction to take to enable a safer retreat.
The Great Lord of the Ghosts calmed down his horse and shouted.
“Stick! “If it’s a power struggle, we will definitely win!”
“Wow!”
The charging speed of the Ghost Guard has increased.
The speed of retreat of the Yacha army also increased accordingly.
In addition to the size of the unit, the Yacha soldiers were superior in their individual movements. The guard tried to catch up somehow, but the Yacha soldiers widened the distance with ridiculous ease.
As the distance widened, the Great Lord of the Ghosts gave orders to the archers.
Most of the arrows fired were scattered in front of the Yachas’ weapons skills. However, the yakshas were also slowly getting tired, and five or six of them fell from their seats after being hit by arrows again.
Their battle was like that.
When the Yacha soldiers retreated, the Gwiho corps chased after them, and when the Gwiho corps stopped advancing, the Yacha troopers, looking for an opening, attacked at incredible speed and disrupted the front line.
Considering the amount of damage, the Ghost Guards had more. However, the number of casualties among the Yacha army, who were outnumbered, increased as time passed.
Casualties continued to increase despite the back and forth between the two sides, unable to exchange fatal attacks on each other.
‘What nonsense… … !’
Lord Guiho was at a loss for words.
If it looks like it’s retreating, it charges, and if it looks like it’s charging, it launches a surprise attack in an unexpected way.
Since he did not know exactly where and how he was aiming, for the experienced Demon Lord, the battle with Lee Cheon-sang and the Yacha army led by him was literally like dealing with a ghost.
However, I couldn’t just sit back and wait. Not only had they already suffered heavy losses, but the number of enemies had also significantly decreased.
Since there were already many casualties, it had to be a war of attrition until the end. It was clearly visible that if the fight was fought until the end, it would eventually lead to victory for the Ghost Army.
How much time has passed like that?
“Great Demon Lord!”
The shouts of Uigon, who was with the archers, penetrated the ears of the Great Lord of Demons, who was fighting as if possessed.
“You have advanced too far! “I’ve crossed more than half of the plain!!”
That was when the Great Lord Guiho said, Oops.
Grumble!
White smoke rose from afar. From the point of view of the guard, it was the rear, and from the point of view of the Yacha soldiers, it was the distant front.
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes sparkled.
thud! thud!
Jeokyachabeon hit the ground twice.
The retreating Yacha workers spread out and stopped like a lie.
“… … !!”
The battlefield suddenly became filled with silence.
When the Great Lord Guiho swallows his saliva without realizing it.
“Wow!!”
One hundred and fifty demons waving white flags rushed from behind them.
The woman holding the flag, Seol Yi-jeon, shouted loudly.
“Shoot!!”
Pipi Piping!!
Fifty arrows flew dozens of miles away.
