Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 724
Episode 724. The other name of the creator god,
the three-star.
Okcheon Port.
around noon.
Four people appeared in front of Okcheon Port.
They are the great master Yeon Jeok-ha and the representatives of the three clans who have returned from meeting the Elyos.
The four of them just walked silently to the center of Okcheon Port.
Then, when the fork in the road finally appeared, I stopped as if I had promised.
It was because the lodgings of the great masters as well as each head of the clan had to be separated at this point.
Venerable Jinpyo of Taesangjong greeted Master Daejong.
“You have worked hard, Grand Master.”
“Hey, did you do something?”
When Yeon Jeok-ha waved his hand, Venerable Gwangseong of the Chun-roi sect said a word.
“why? You suffered. Didn’t you put up with Perpetua’s arguing? At that time, I was afraid that Grand Master would run into him.”
“It can’t be. I’m not even a cow, so why run into him?”
“Heh heh, that’s what he said. Anyway, you’ve been patient. The Elyos would not have passed over if they were attacked because they thought they were extremely superior.”
“Don’t worry, I know that much too.”
Yeonjeokha laughed.
No matter how much you live as you like, there is a limit. Why fight with them when you have to get help from the Elyos right now?
Of course, if it was an unavoidable situation, he could help, but that wasn’t enough yet.
At the fork in the road, the four of them were scattered.
Suddenly curious about the preparations for the water battle, Yeonjeokha moved to the dock.
The riversides on the left and right around Okcheon Port were filled with huge ships.
Looking at the ships lined up in an orderly fashion, I realized the surface warfare Bellsonia was talking about.
“hmm! It’s a water battle…”
There will be a big difference between fighting on land and water battle.
I thought about it, but couldn’t imagine it.
There was a time when I unwillingly fought with bandits in the river, but this was on a different scale.
“Smart people will figure it out.”
He shook off his muttering worries about the winning battle.
It’s not your job to write your hair. Everyone should do what they are good at.
Thinking so, my heart felt light even in front of the huge boats lined up along the river.

Wiryeseong.
Cheonjijong Jongsan Wondeoksan.
Seogak (書閣).
Namgung-yeon put the finished book to one side.
On top of hundreds of books stacked on top of each other, another book was added.
After reading the book, she closed her eyes for a moment as if she was tired.
There are over five hundred books on the Creator God.
All of them are books collected from six schools that accepted Cheonji School and Yeonjeokha as great masters.
The contents of the book are so much the same that the saying, ‘seeds are one root,’ comes to life.
She didn’t miss even the meaning behind that slight difference.
However, there was nothing to help open the gates.
A sigh escaped from her mouth as she put together and compared the contents of the book in her head.
“ha!”
Anything related to astronomy was investigated.
I even looked at the Creator God who made it, but there was no income.
The ancestors of the clan must have felt this same despair.
Later, Namgung-yeon realized how reckless the plan to ‘open the gate of heaven before the baby was born’ was.
But now, I couldn’t give up.
Sometimes you have to do something you know is reckless.
Now was the time.
Namgoongyeon opened her eyes and reached for the last book left on the table.
A light flashed in her eyes as she carelessly turned the cover of the book.
A piece of paper was hidden between the bookmarks.
[If you want to know the name of the creator god, come to the top of Bukakbong at midnight on the last day of July.]
Namgungyeon tilted his head.
It is already widely known that he is investigating astronomy and the creator god.
‘Who is it?’
It was in the book collected from the seven clan gates, so it must be the work of a disciple of the clan gate.
By the way, is this the way you talk to yourself as a gentleman and the wife of the Grand Master?
Moreover, the contents of the note were intended to lure him to anyone who could see it.
The opponent’s goal was clearly visible, but Namgung-yeon hesitated.
In a frustrating situation like now, the ‘creation god’s nickname’ was a hard temptation to refuse.
As his thoughts became complicated, Namgung-yeon looked out the window.
Watching the scenery dyed dark red by the setting sun made me feel impatient.
There was not much time for himself and his younger brother.
After the baby is born, it’s already too late to do anything.
So even if the invitation to Bukakbong is someone’s trap, you have to go.

Orientation.
Sacheonpo.
Sacheonpo is a port city located across from Okcheon Port.
The place that used to be crowded with merchants in the past has now turned into hell.
Sacheonpo is bustling with monsters, but only one place was as clean and quiet as in the past.
It was ‘Pungwolru’, the largest and most splendid palace in Sacheonpo.
The reason why monsters couldn’t come to Pungwolru was because the demon was staying there.
around dusk.
Pungwollu.
Medina Isaela, who was sitting alone in the guest room and sipping a drink, suddenly raised her head.
Before long, the demonic Daimon appeared with light footsteps.
“I came after being called by Daimon, the servant of the Demon God.”
“What about the Elyos?”
“Out of 50,000 Elyos, only 20,000 moved to Hwangcheonju and Wansanju, each with 10,000. There are currently 30,000 Elyos left in Samchae.”
“Thirty thousand. That’s a smaller number than you think.”
Demonic spirits are no match for the Elyos.
Just like the relationship between humans and monsters, the difference in power between the two is huge.
But the devil is different.
In the fight against the Elyos, the fiend of arrogance can confidently become an axis of power.
Considering the number of demons, 30,000 Elyos was not a lot.
Of course, depending on the number of high-ranking Elyos, the aspect of the fight could change again.
Still, since there were about 500 demons, there was no doubt that the situation was advantageous to Macheon.
Daimon said cautiously.
“Seeing that the bell gate continues to requisition ships, it seems that they are preparing for a water battle.”
“Are you going to stop it at Baekriha?”
“You can focus on water warfare in Milini in the military.”
“What about our ship?”
“We are catching the Brokes in the Cheongwan Mountains and making them continuously. Currently, we have built 100 ships in medium size.”
“A hundred or so?”
Medina Isaela opened her eyes wide.
A hundred ships in twenty days, no matter how medium it is, was an astonishing speed of construction.
“First of all, we focused on crossing the river quickly. It is only slightly better than a raft.”
“It sounds like a water fight is impossible.”
“That’s right. Although they are numerous, they cannot be compared to human ships in terms of ruggedness.”
Daimon glanced at the Demon God.
Even a hundred mid-size ships were possible because of the dwarf tribe’s dexterity.
He thought that there was no need to fight the Elyos under the Baekri.
There was no reason for that, and it was impossible for a medium-sized ship that was a little better than a raft.
However, the demon made an unexpected noise.
“If the enemy is willing to risk everything before winning the prize, so will we.”
“yes?”
Daimon’s voice rose involuntarily.
Doha secretly would be much more advantageous, but a water battle?
It was hard to believe for him, who even said that it was a little better than a raft.
“It means pushing the enemy all the way to Okcheon Port.”
“I’m presumptuous, but wouldn’t it be better to bypass the enemy and cross the river?”
“I have never avoided a walk-in fight.”
“…”
Daimon looked at the demon with devastated eyes.
It can only be done in a one-on-one fight, but is it necessary to do so in a war?
Moreover, our ship was poorly made to fit the Doha?
The demon god said to the puzzled Daimon.
“This time, the Elyos made a foolish choice. It’s an award winning game. It’s funny, it’s funny. Do you think water wars will work?”
“I do not know. However, since it is a fight on the water, I guess there will be many variables.”
“When it comes to surface warfare, it’s about firing shells or shooting flaming arrows from a distance. With the skills of demons, there is more than enough to stop them. In the end, ships and ships will face each other. From then on, it’s no different than on land. The human stomach is strong? Then push the Elyos out and take them away.”
“ah!”
An exclamation flowed from Daimon’s mouth, thinking that his ship would break.
Come to think of it, it wasn’t difficult for monsters to cross on a human boat.
“Properly distribute and arrange the demons on each ship. If we just block the shells and fire arrows flying from a distance, then we will take the initiative in the fight.”
“That is a very wise thought. I will appropriately disperse the demons and demons and get them on board.”
Daimon’s hardened face brightened.
It was clear that if the distance was narrowed enough to cross to the other side’s boat, it would be as the demon god said.

End of July.
Finally, the 30,000 Elyos troops stationed in Chengdu left Chengdu.
Refugees flocked to the main street and threw flowers and cheered the marching Elyos.
“hurray!”
“thank you!”
Staff officer Prisca, who was walking with Gelatum, the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, murmured.
“Every time I see a human, I am grateful that I was born as an Elyos.”
Then Commander-in-Chief Gelatum smiled and said,
“Comparing humans to Elyos is nasty. Humans are close to beasts. The only difference is that, unlike beasts, they can talk.”
Then the commander of the Western Army, Anatasio, intervened.
“If beasts could speak, they would protest why compare them to their prey.”
At his words, the nearby Elyos burst into laughter.
Not knowing that the Elyos were having such a conversation, the humans warmly welcomed them by throwing flowers.
As they moved away from the city, the welcoming humans gradually disappeared.
As no humans were seen around the main road, the Elyos marched at a faster pace.
Later, as if in a gale, it became invisible to the naked eye.
The appearance of a large army of 30,000 moving like a storm was phenomenal.
***
It was that evening that the Elyos army departing from Chengdu arrived at the outskirts of Okcheon Port.
Thirty thousand troops covered a distance that would have taken two full days in one day.
Okcheon Port.
Guest house annex.
As soon as Gelatum, commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, arrived at Okcheon Port, he visited Gwangmyeongjincheon’s residence.
The Expeditionary Forces Commander-in-Chief Gelatum hurriedly bowed his head as Gwangmyeong Jincheon met his eyes.
“I am Gelatum, commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force. I finally got to meet you. Have you been at peace?”
“Whoops! Have you heard somewhere that I am not at peace?”
“haha! It can’t be.”
The Expeditionary Forces commander-in-chief, Gelatum, was cold on the inside, but he covered it up with a smile.
Gwangmyeong-jincheon pointed at an empty chair.
“Sit down.”
The Expeditionary Forces Commander-in-Chief Gelatum carefully sat down on the chair without saying a word.
As soon as he sat down, Gwangmyeong Jincheon asked as if he had been waiting.
“What did Bellsonia say about me?”
“yes? What are you talking about?”
At the unexpected words, the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, Gelatum, looked at Gwangmyeongjincheon with devastated eyes.
“You make me, called Gwangmyeong Jincheon, say the same thing twice. I asked what the bratty girl had said about me.”
The Expeditionary Forces Commander-in-Chief Gelatum involuntarily shrugged his shoulders.
My mind was confused at the appearance of Gwangmyeong Jincheon, which was so different from what I had heard from Bell Sonia.
