Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 725
Episode 725. [脣亡齒寒]
The commander-in-chief of the Expeditionary Force, Gelatum, was frightened, but he could not say anything harmful to the General Staff.
Due to Gwangmyeongjincheon’s fiery nature, she didn’t know what would happen to Bellsonia.
“Bell Sonia was just worried that something had happened to Jincheon Kwangmyeong.”
“A mere Elyos chief of staff worried about the safety of the supreme god? Are you saying that!”
Roaring-!
An energy like an active volcano rose from Gwangmyeongjincheon’s body.
The Expeditionary Forces Commander-in-Chief Gelatum hurriedly raised his spirit to protect himself.
As the scorching heat swept through the outbuilding, the walls and furniture were scorched black.
“…”
The commander-in-chief of the Expeditionary Force, Gelatum, shrank even more at that formidable momentum.
The energy that seemed to melt the outbuilding disappeared at once.
Soon after, Gwangmyeong Jincheon spoke in a calm tone.
“I know what kind of eyes you are looking at me. If so, I’ll live up to that expectation. In the fight against the Demon God, I will not be in the vanguard. Do well with the Great Master, whom you all admire.”
“omg! You are wrong. How can we be in awe of humans?”
“joy! I must have forgotten that my ability is clairvoyance. I saw with my own eyes the conversation you had with Bellsonia and heard it clearly with my own ears, but I can’t believe it until the end. If you hadn’t been the commander-in-chief of the Expeditionary Force, you wouldn’t have survived. Don’t appear in front of me again. Then you will surely die.”
“….”
Expeditionary Forces Commander-in-Chief Gelatum couldn’t even make a sound.
If Jincheon Gwangmyeong had been watching with clairvoyance, no excuse would have worked.
He lowered his head and stepped back in front of Gwangmyeong Jincheon.
***
Okcheon Port Elyos camp.
As soon as the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, Gelatum, returned to the camp of the Elyos, he summoned his staff.
And I informed Bellsonia, the chief of staff, and two staff members (Prisca Esteban) about what had just happened.
“…It seems that Gwangmyeong Jincheon-nim watched the expeditionary force’s meeting with clairvoyance. He said that since we have lost respect for you, we will not take the lead in the fight against the demons. What should I do now?”
Bellsonia asked cautiously.
“From the point of view of the commander-in-chief, how did Gwangmyeong Jincheon-nim’s condition look?”
“It’s hard to say exactly how it was because I didn’t manifest as an Elyos, but I could feel the presence before. All the outbuildings were burned down just by the momentum he gave off.”
“…”
Bellsonia’s eyes became complicated.
If it looked like that in the eyes of the Commander-in-Chief, it would be like that.
But why didn’t he show such momentum at the meeting with the clan?
Esteban slipped in.
“It is possible that he has recovered in the meantime.”
Then Bellsonia said with an ambiguous face.
“To be able to do that in a matter of days requires an amulet of commodities. The only Elyos with such an Arcanum are the commanders, but if they did, it would have been known already.”
“What if you got help from the clan?”
“Looking at Heavenly King Gwangmyeongjin’s temperament, that’s unlikely, but the current situation itself is difficult to explain logically… I’ll have to investigate the people from the clan who often met Heavenly Father Gwangmyeongjin.”
At Bellsonia’s words, Commander-in-Chief Gelatum let out a long sigh.
“ha! What’s the use of finding out about it? Gwangmyeongjincheon-nim is not the kind of person who will reverse his own words.”
The staff did not object.
Certainly, it was pointless to find out who in the sect had been helped.
Knowing that won’t change Gwangmyeong-Jincheon’s decision.
Commander-in-Chief Gelatum continued.
“Rather than that, we should find out who injured Kwangmyeong Jincheon-nim. If Anatasio, the commander of the Western Army, is right… we may lose this war.”
Prisca asked with a surprised face.
“Does it have anything to do with winning or losing the war?”
Bellsonia answered him.
“Gwangmyeongjincheon-nim’s only enemy is ‘God of the Three Thousands’. It has been a long time since Kujeonbeomcheon did not appear in history. Then, the only thing left is Mahasuracheon, that is, drinking…. That’s what he said. Isn’t it?”
At Bellsonia’s words, Commander-in-Chief Gelatum nodded.
“right. If the demon had won the fight against Gwangmyeongjincheonnim, the outcome of the war would not be much different. Because we have no one to stand against the Demon God.”
After speaking, Commander-in-Chief Gelatum stared at Bellsonia.
“Do you still think that the one who subdued Gwangmyeong Jincheon-nim was the Grand Master?”
“I think the Grand Master is like that.”
Bellsonia’s tone was markedly different from the few days before she had carefully predicted it.
“Do you have any proof?”
“I came to Okcheon Port and met humans. The duel between the Great Master and Gwangmyeong Jincheon has been talked about among humans.”
“duel?”
“It is said that the Grand Master and Gwangmyeong Jin-cheon had a duel before the advance party arrived. The duel ended with the Grand Master’s victory.”
A bitter smile spread across Commander-in-Chief Gelatum’s face.
“Do you believe that rumor? Bondi humans are good at lying. It’s possible that the demon’s actions were framed as the Grand Master’s.”
“If it’s a baseless rumor, it could be, but there were many witnesses.”
“A witness? To be a witness to a duel that will turn the world upside down. Doesn’t that sound even more unreliable?”
The fight of the gods is destructive enough to change the terrain.
The fact that there were many witnesses meant that the aftermath of the fight was insignificant, so there was a strong possibility that it was a lie.
Then Bellsonia pointed her finger at the sky.
“It is said that Grand Master and Master Gwangmyeong Jin-cheon fought over Okcheon Port.”
“…”
Commander-in-Chief Gelatum only blinked with a devastated face.
Certainly, if it was over Okcheon Port, it was not strange even if there were many witnesses.
“Of course, you’re saying that now that you’ve figured out the truth of the rumors, right?”
“yes. Some parts were slightly different, but the result was the same. It is said that the master swordsman’s sword spirit cut off the wings of Jincheon Gwangmyeong.”
“I’m going crazy.”
Commander-in-Chief Gelatum held his head with both hands.
To think that the wings of Gwangmyeong Jincheon, the supreme god, were cut off by some kind of human.
If the Elyos knew about it, they would rise up.
Cutting it in front of many people was an insult to the Elyos. For the Elyos, wings are the source of their abilities and the pride of their tribe.
Bellsonia said in a calm tone.
“It’s not all bad, though. At least it became clear who to put in the vanguard.”
At those words, Commander-in-Chief Gelatum raised his head.
right.
Now that Gwangmyeongjincheon refused to be the vanguard, Daejongsa was the only alternative.
“You shouldn’t let Elyos mingle with people. Come up with ways to cut off interactions with people. Infighting shouldn’t happen before you even fight the Demon God.”
“yes.”
“By the way, is there any problem with the transfer of the heavenly gates?”
“Even the Grand Master agreed to hand over the Heavenly Gate. War is not dictated by the power of one individual. He knows that if the Savior is not to perish, he must enlist the help of our celestial realm.”
“I will have to convince the elders.”
Commander-in-Chief Gelatum frowned.
It was clear that the Elyos elders would oppose the creation of human habitation in the heavens.
For them, human habitation is like a pigsty.
The elders would not allow a pigpen to be built next to the house.
“You have to convince me. If we do not keep our promises, we may lose the Savior.”
“It could be. But after moving the gate of heaven to the heaven world, wouldn’t it matter anyway?”
“…”
Bellsonia didn’t answer immediately.
Until now, the heavenly world had helped the Savior only to protect the heavenly gates. As the Commander-in-Chief said
, ‘He is a Savior without an Astronomical Gate…’
It’s not irrelevant.
Ever since the creation of the world, the Savior has served as a buffer zone between heaven and earth.
If the buffer zone disappears, the celestial world will be directly affected by external changes.
It can be difficult to keep the boundary of the heavens right now.
Belsonia pondered, and shook her head.
“no. Please somehow convince the elders. If you don’t have lips, your teeth will be cold [脣亡齒寒]. Our heavenly world needs a savior.”
Commander-in-Chief Gelatum did not give a definite answer.
Changing the minds of the elders is not as easy as the General Staff said.
Maybe it was more difficult than the war with Macheon.
***
A cloud of war hung over Baekri River, which runs through Kuju from north to south.
The human Elyos and Demons put all their effort into preparing for the battle in Baekri.
the last day of July.
Okcheon Port.
triangulation.
Grandmaster Yeon Jeok-ha’s expression was not good from the morning.
When the great master, who pressed down to Gwangmyeongjincheon by force, made an impression, the masters of the sect were terrified.
Yeonjeokha, who had been frowning all morning, moved to Sihwagwan around noon.
Heartache is to find the true man.
Yeonjeokha, who had been walking for a while, tilted her head.
There are 30,000 Elyos troops in Okcheon Port, but they are nowhere to be seen?
At first, I thought it was because it was close to his accommodation and he controlled access.
But that was the case until I reached the Sihwa Hall.
For a moment, ‘Did the Elyos withdraw?’ I had a rather absurd idea.
However, the speculation was soon dispelled.
If the Elyos had really withdrawn, the sect would have informed them quickly.
When we entered the annex of Sihwagwan, the Okcheong labor union ran out with delight.
“welcome. Grand Master.”
Yeonjeokha, who took the place of a greeting by lightly raising his hand, asked a sneakily.
“I didn’t see any Elyos on the streets. Have you heard anything?”
“ah! It seems that the drunken Elyos made a fuss in Juru last night. I heard that the Elyos staff issued an order to ban them until the departure.”
“Why are you ordering a ban on something like that? It must have been because everyone was so nervous.”
“That’s right. Aren’t the Elyos a bit unusual for that kind of thing? He must have thought that he was embarrassing to humans.”
“I’m glad if that’s the case. I thought they had withdrawn because I suddenly couldn’t see them.”
“haha! You did. You wouldn’t have thought of that when you saw the Elyos camp.”
Yeon Jeok-ha, who nodded, took off his shoes on an island stone and stepped up to the floor.
The Okcheong labor union did not follow it any further and quietly withdrew.
After confirming the face of the heartache in love, I sat down on a chair by the window.
I didn’t do anything, but my body was very heavy.
“ha!”
I can’t help but sigh.
This, too, was unusual.
The heartache that opened my eyes to the sigh of Yeonjeokha raised my upper body.
“Grunt! Are there any concerns?”
“There is no such thing.”
“But why are you sighing?”
“I don’t know. It’s just that my body is sore from morning and my heart is heavy.”
“It must be because the war is imminent. When are you going to go out?”
“According to the people who scouted Sacheonpo, it must be soon.”
“okay. Don’t push yourself too hard, even for the sake of your mother-in-law and the unborn child. To put it bluntly, isn’t Confucius a native of this place?”
Yeonjeokha scratched his head.
It is because she has to do her best for Namgung-yeon and the child to be born.
