Chronicles of the Demon Faction - Chapter 458
Episode 458 Virtues a leader must have (3)
Surprisingly, the place called J Strategy Room was connected to the underground passage of Gyojujeon. Of course, Wihongryun was a place I had never been to before.
The stairs going down to the basement were longer than I thought.
Wei Hongryeon, who was following Seoliang, opened her mouth.
“Stir…”
“Speak comfortably. “You’re not just saying it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other, right?”
“Regardless of whether you are inside or outside, you are a religious leader.”
“The Demon Lord is a special operations unit. I do not want rigid discipline for you or your subordinates. I think free and creative thinking is much more helpful in actual operations.”
“⋯⋯.”
“Just like before, make yourself comfortable. Just show basic manners and don’t eat without eating.”
“Your tone of voice has become strangely intense.”
“I’m serious?”
“No. Actually, the old religious leader’s way of speaking was amazing.”
“You’re laughing. You must have done it.”
As we talked about Dorando, the tension suddenly eased.
Wei Hongryeon asked,
“Did you say it was the demon king’s spirit?”
“uh.”
“Well, I’m not curious as to why you created a new unit. “Why did you entrust me as the leader of that unit?”
“You should be curious. Why the Demon King Spirit was created.”
“Of course I’m curious.”
“Listen inside.”
You shouldn’t talk.
“Then why are you taking such a heavy responsibility on me…?”
“Because I think you are the most qualified.”
“It’s an honor.”
“why? “Do you think not?”
“Honestly… yes.
Xu Liang chuckled.
“I missed your honesty. “At least in this regard, I don’t think I overestimate or underestimate myself.”
“Yes. “I don’t think I’m smart enough to lead a special forces unit.” ”
Our school isn’t easy enough to put a stupid person in the position of commander of a combat unit. You can’t be the commander of a special forces unit for many years. “The reason he was there was because, in addition to his martial arts skills, he was also excellent at managing his troops.”
“But special forces are different, right?”
“Did you hear? “What does the Demon King Spirit do?”
“I heard it involves assassination, bombing, seizing the star base, and infiltrating Sejak. “Perhaps in some cases, you will also be tasked with escorting important figures, right?”
“right.”
“I also learned my own strategy and tactics… “I’ve never done a special mission like that before.”
“So that’s it.”
“yes?”
“Looking at the report, the Light Horse Unit was assigned to special missions a few times. Other combat units were not assigned to it even once.”
“Ah…”
“Your judgment shone through on those missions. “Whether you have good instincts or intelligence, you have already shown it with results.”
“Is that what happens?”
“At least in my eyes, he seemed like the right person. And you remember what I said before, right?”
“yes? What do you mean?”
“Have you just forgotten? “I said I would use you a lot.”
“⋯⋯!”
“Then I told you this. You don’t care about your opponent. They said that if you give them a target to bite, they will kill them without giving a reason, even if that target is our school.”
Wei Hongryeon smiled awkwardly.
“Was it like that?”
“Yes. I said I would open a path for you to become stronger, and at the same time, I would provide you with a platform to run rampant properly.”
“Now I remember. I’m sure we had that conversation.”
“okay. Even though the Iron Sword Mazon raised you instead of me, shouldn’t I at least provide you with a platform that allows you to run wild?”
Xu Liang smiled.
It was a smile that could not be seen by Wei Hongryeon who was following behind.
“Of course, you use it as needed, so you don’t have to feel too burdened. “When the mission fails, you just have to use your talents to the best of your ability.”
“Oh yeah.”
We talked about this and that, but Wei Hongryun still couldn’t feel it.
Demon King’s Spirit. Special operations unit under the
direct control of the religious leader. In the new religion, the only units directly under the religious leader were the Cheonma Army and the Hocheon Demon Emperor. Among them, the Hocheon Demon Emperor is a unit that strictly guards the religious leader. However, he did not reveal himself to the public.
In other words, even though it was small in size, the Demon King Spirit would be treated no less than the Heavenly Demon Army. And he was appointed as the head of such an organization.
‘What kind of super-fast promotion is this?’
Of course, it was difficult for the demons in the unit directly under the cult leader to sit in any more important positions. They strictly lived and died by orders until they retired.
But Wei Hongryun felt his heart pounding.
‘It’s a special operations unit…’
A word that will allow her to run rampant properly.
When she heard those words, her heart, which had been trained with the sword for so long, went crazy. Passion filled her relaxed mind, and her calm eyes gradually turned into a frenzy.
That’s right. That’s her true self. She was.
The last survivor of the Wi family that fought against the Heavenly Demon Church. She learned and learned like crazy to survive, risking her life every day for ten years.
Before she knew it, battle became a life, not death, for her. In the Heavenly Demon Church, she could not survive without enjoying it. Her life had even changed her nature.
There was definitely a time when she had to train deeply as a swordsman. It was at that time that she formed a relationship with the Iron Sword Mazon and was able to grow at an incredible speed.
Now it was time to fight again. It was finally time to relieve her fighting instincts.
Although it was not a unit that wiped out the enemy lines, it was time to go on a rampage once again as the leader of a unit that attacked the enemy. That made her excited.
After a while.
“Oh. “Did you go?”
“You’re here, leader!”
There was a castle and cherry blossoms in the fairly spacious underground strategy room. And the two people were connecting thick threads of different colors here and there to a huge map posted on the wall.
Wei Hongryeon’s eyes widened.
“reel? “There are cherry blossoms too?”
Tak!
“A million!”
Wei Hongryeon stroked the back of her head that had suddenly been hit.
“Why are you doing this?”
“Is the cherry blossom your friend? She is the head maid of our school.”
“ah?”
Wei Hongryeon shrugged her shoulders. After talking with Seo-ryang, it seemed like she was slowly regaining her past self.
“You wouldn’t want Aeng-hwa to always use polite words, right? “Is it a cherry blossom?”
The cherry blossoms quietly looked around and spoke in a hushed voice.
“But I heard that you have to protect what you protect between people.”
Wei Hongryun’s eyes popped out like beads.
Ho Yo-seong burst into laughter.
“What you said, Chief Maid, is correct. My name is the head maid in charge of the religious leader, so do you really need to speak in an easy way? “Hey.”
“Hehe.”
Wei Hongryeon stuck out her tongue.
“It’s become toxic. “It’s become toxic.”
Even though she said that, Wei Hongryun’s face was extremely bright.
Even though he is not Ho Yo-seong, he is confident that he is in the same place as Seo-ryang and Aeng-hwa. Even though we weren’t that close of friends, it felt good that we were all successful and that we were all together after a long time.
“But why is Aenghwa, the head maid, here? “Are you going to help the leader?”
Only the title was Chief Maid, but there was no change in the way she spoke.
Ho Yo-seong smiled and answered instead.
“That’s true, but our head maid’s brain power is not normal.”
Wei Hongryeon looked at the cherry blossoms with surprised eyes.
Brain rotation is not normal? How smart are you to say that?
“You’ll see later. Ah! Speaking of which, Chief Maid.”
“yes!”
“What happened to the self-government department at the top? Are you still in contact?”
Aenghwa’s face darkened a little.
“Yes. It is said that the Gangseo Chamber of Commerce trade project in the first half of this year will end successfully. “They said that the Trade Federation was so friendly to our school that it was easy to get things done.”
“Thank goodness.”
“yes.”
Hu Yaocheng smiled:
“Are you still uneasy?”
“Huh? Oh no! That can’t be possible. I just…”
A hesitation appeared on Aenghwa’s face.
For the sake of the religious leader and for Shingyo, she stole the entire secret fund of Gangseo Store through her only childhood friend. She really could not have imagined that things would turn out like this.
“Thanks to that, my friend’s Cheonin Merchant Company rose to become the most influential merchant in Gangseo Chamber of Commerce.”
“That’s right. They actually seemed grateful.”
“That’s right. The Cheonin Sangdan has long been considered the weakest group within the Gangseo Chamber of Commerce. Although it was made up of people who hated our school, the Cheonin Sangdan was actually just taking care of other merchants.”
“yes.”
“Thanks to the performance of the head maid, our church survived and the Heavenly Order also survived. It is natural to feel guilty for deceiving your friend, but in the end, it was a good thing for everyone, so relax.”
“Are you saying you can relax?! I never thought of that.”
Xu Liang suddenly said,
“Memories are just memories. “The moment those memories come back to the present, they can no longer be beautiful.”
“Ah…!”
“I and the Commander-in-Chief must apologize to you. It’s ridiculous to say something like this on such a topic, but now that this has happened, I hope I can make new memories with that friend.”
Aenghwa bowed her head.
“I am a maid who will always serve the religious leader. Although I may be heartbroken due to personal affection, I do not regret the past. Don’t worry.”
Xu Liang smiled,
“Thank you.”
Ho Yo-seong quietly stepped in.
“So, how about participating in the Gangseo Chamber of Commerce trade meeting in the second half of the year?”
“yes?! “Me?!”
“Why are you so surprised?”
“I don’t have that kind of ability or guts…”
“One of my best strengths is my eye for people. “In my opinion, the head maid is much more capable in terms of commerce than the intelligence officers of the military department.”
“Ah…”
“Isn’t that why we brought you here? We need to listen to the head maid’s opinion and discuss how to move forward. Isn’t that right, leader?”
Seo-ryang nodded silently.
Aeng-hwa, who had suddenly been entrusted with a big task, became restless. But even for a moment, she bit her lip and shook her fist.
“I will try my best!”
The voice was so loud that the strategy room was in an uproar. The person who actually shouted was embarrassed and her face turned bright red.
Wi Hongryeon tapped Aenghwa’s side.
“I hope so, Chief Maid. Right?”
“lol.”
Ho Yaoseong tapped the map,
“Now that everyone has gathered, shall we begin the meeting and exam?”
Wei Hongryun blinked.
“Aside from a meeting… it’s a test?”
Xu Liang frowned.
“Didn’t you hear from Dongpil?”
“yes? What?”
“Didn’t you tell me to go to the religious battle today and prove my abilities?”
“Ah…!”
“I have already appointed you as the Demon Lord, so I will use you somehow. “But I’ll have to wait and see if I can use it after I study it further or if I can use it right now.”
Xu Liang pointed to the map with his chin.
“I’ve experienced it so much that it puts a bitter taste in my mouth, so from now on, discuss with the general military where we should start our attack.”
“When you say strategy, do you mean there is a place to fight?”
“Battle? It’s not that bad.”
“yes?”
“It’s war.”
“⋯⋯!!”
“In order to win first and start a war, we need the Demon King’s spirit. So, risk your life and run again.”
“You mean that war? “Where are you going to war with?”
Xiliang’s blue magical eyes looked towards the north of the map.
“Imperial palace.”
