Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Episode 186

The thread did not break (4)

After 15 days.

“Seventy.”

Prince Moyong sighed.

“You lost quite a lot.”

“There is no shame.”

“no. As you also felt this time, individual force and tactics become powerless in the face of group power. Even the world’s greatest expert can die from a single dagger thrown by a third-rate person. “If it is natural, it is a natural result.”

Mo Yong-woo bowed his head.

“It’s all my fault. “I will never show you something like this in the future.”

“Hehe, I already know your abilities and distribution. It is important not to repeat the mistakes of the past. “You will do well.”

Of course, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed. Because Mo Yong-wu said that he would minimize the loss of power of the Tangma Army and handle everything with the Mortal Army.

However, even if one is a world-renowned person, it is extremely difficult to control and manipulate others at will.

Moreover, this is Mo Yong-woo’s first time managing a combat unit as large as 500 people. Considering the notoriety and fighting power of the Corridor Corps, it was even more remarkable that only seventy people died.

“First, let’s hear how we conquered the Corridor Group.”

Mo Yong-woo described in detail his encounter with the Corridors and how he fought them.

There was surprise on Mo Yong’s face.

“her! “Hostages?”

“That’s right.”

“Are you saying you expected them to commit such a petty act and diverted the Mortal Army?”

“I couldn’t foresee it that far. “I only sent it because the village was being invaded and it had the advantage of being easy to attack.”

A small admiration appeared on Mo Yong-gun’s face.

“That’s amazing. Even if you memorize the seven books of martial arts, it will be difficult to show even one of them when you actually go into battle.”

“It’s because I trusted Commander Yeon’s abilities. Otherwise, I would have looked for another way.”

“He carries thousands of snakes in his stomach. However, as you said, he is a guy whose ability is certain. And it was your insight that allowed you to see and believe in that ability.”

Prince Moyong nodded as if he was satisfied.

“You acted thoroughly as a leader. “That’s enough.”

The result was different from what I had boasted about, but after listening to the content, I think it is not enough to praise it.

Moreover, most of the exploits that swept the corridors this time went to Tangma Commander Mo Yongwu. There was a name for the Prince of Death, but there was no name for Yeonhojeong.

‘good.’

This is a truly satisfying result. At this level, it is safe to say that you have caught a big catch, even if it is not the best.

“Anyway, I specifically figured out what my problem was during this operation. “It was a meaningful mission in many ways.”

“Hehehe! “If you think so, it’s okay.”

Prince Moyong burst into laughter as if he was truly happy.

But it wasn’t Mo Yong-woo.

‘older brother. ‘Someone died.’

Is this a meaningful mission?

right. This battle with the Corridor was clearly a meaningful mission for Mo Yong-wu.

But it was something I shouldn’t have said out loud. Because my person died.

The reason I suppressed my surging sadness and said this was all to deceive Lord Moyong.

Mo Yong-woo once again felt sorry for his situation. Thinking of my dead subordinates, I felt sad about the current situation, saying things that should never be said out loud.

‘sorry.’

After briefly controlling his mind, Mo Yong-woo spoke.

“older brother.”

“hmm?”

“I would like to hold a separate memorial service for the dead soldiers. “I’m planning to keep it small between Tangma and myself without making a big announcement, so I may not be able to see you for three days.”

Mo Yong-gun’s eyes sparkled.

“A memorial service?”

“yes.”

“Hmm, that’s good too. “Anyway, they were all your servants, so I don’t think it’s a bad idea to have a moment of remembrance for them.”

“Thank you for your understanding.”

“Haha, is there nothing else to do other than understand? Commander Tangma is you. “It is not at all strange for a military commander to hold a memorial service for dead soldiers.”

Rather, it’s a good thing.

‘This isn’t that bad.’

Moyong thought. If it were you, would you have held a memorial service for the dead soldiers?

The answer was ‘no’.

During that time, they would have devised ways to replenish their lost troops and would have moved quickly to gain more dense forces.

Because Mo Yong-gun is like that, Mo Yong-woo’s statement that he would hold a memorial service sounded fresh.

At the same time, this was also an opportunity.

‘Your actions will greatly impress the Murim leaders.’

Commander Tangma is a person who thinks of the dead soldiers as if they were his own body. He is a responsible person.

Such rumors will spread widely throughout the country.

Of course, the demons will pay attention to Mo Yong-woo, and Mo Yong-woo’s presence will grow even greater.

And all that power will come back to you.

Moyong said with a smile.

“Hyung Lee will personally fill in the missing troops. “Don’t worry about that part.”

* * *

“Have you been healthy so far?”

“OK.”

A long-awaited smile appeared on Yeonwi’s blunt face.

“Are you hurt anywhere?”

“Not at all.”

“I didn’t ask you, I asked Bia.”

“Ah…”

“How could a strong steel frame like you get hurt?”

“This is sad.”

“noisy.”

Yeon Ho-jeong looked embarrassed.

Even though he said so, Yeonwi prayed for Yeonhojeong’s safety every day. After the Tangma Murderous Army went on the campaign trail, there was not a single day when I could sleep peacefully.

Mukbi said politely.

“It’s okay, father.”

“okay. “I arrived safely and unscathed, so that’s it.”

Yeonwi was completely different from Moyonggun.

He was happy that his son and the child he regarded as his daughter had returned safely. mission? Of course, that was important, but more important than that was human life.

Fortunately, I heard that there were no casualties in the Mortal Army. That was enough.

“I have a lot of things I want to say, but I’m sure you’re both physically and mentally exhausted from the journey. “Let’s take a break today and talk in detail tomorrow.”

Yeon Ho-jeong said to Muk-bi.

“If you’re tired, go and get some rest. “Because I have something to talk about with my father.”

“Is that so?”

Mukbi really wanted to rest. No, I wanted to shower before resting. This is because I was never able to take a bath during the trip back.

Mukbi bowed his head and quickly left the room. Her heart pounded as she wondered if Yeonwi might have smelled her.

Yeon Ho-jeong quenched his appetite. Now, just by looking at Mukbi’s eyes and actions, I could tell what she was thinking.

“Did I tease you for no reason?”

She once made fun of me for smelling bad, but ever since then she has shown a pathological obsession with washing. In fact, he was a cleaner person than anyone else, but I thought that life had become tiring because of him.

Yeonwi asked.

“Aren’t you tired?”

“it’s okay. “It’s not like I can run with my own legs.”

“Riding a horse is also work.”

“I am a strong steel frame.”

Yeonwi chuckled.

“So what do you want to say to this Abby?”

Yeon Ho-jeong spoke carefully.

“Are you feeling bad?”

“How do you feel?”

“My name was omitted from this mission report.”

Yeonwi nodded.

“You knew it too.”

“yes.”

“Is it not to the level of your knowledge that you intentionally omitted it?”

“That’s right.”

“Is there a reason? Of course, this father knows that you are not an ugly person who covets public opinion, but there is no reason to remove his name.”

The report also contained quite a detailed description of the activities of the Mortal Army.

But that was all. The names of several soldiers and the sniping skills of the soldier Zhuge Yan and Muk Bi were mentioned, but the three letters of Yeon Ho-jeong’s name were nowhere to be found.

‘….’

Yeon Ho-jeong tried to reveal her relationship with Mo Yong-woo to her father, but soon gave up. Because I didn’t think it was time yet.

‘Well, if I tell you when the time comes, it won’t end with a cane.’

Yeon Ho-jeong said while licking his lips.

“This time, I’m going to give it a push in that direction.”

“Are you planning to catch the head of the Moyong family off guard?”

“If he had been this great and let down his guard, it would have been much easier to deal with him.”

“if?”

Yeon Ho-jeong said cheerfully.

“Politics is about giving, but isn’t politics about giving and receiving? “He must have been very poisoned because he has suffered so much, so we need to save his life.”

Yeonwi smiled bitterly.

“I think about it once in a while. “I wish I could look into your head as it is.”

“Oh, this is….”

“It’s done. I know that if I could explain it, I would have done it a long time ago. “In essence, these problems are a combination of reason and instinct, so it would be difficult to explain them easily.”

“haha.”

That’s not everything, but anyway, I’m grateful that you said that, but I also feel guilty.

‘once.’

Yeon Ho-jeong sighed inwardly.

‘Let’s hold on just this one more time.’

Unlike before, people increasingly embrace and understand many things about me.

It’s painful to hide my true feelings from my father.

‘I’ll tell you everything soon, father.’

Yeonwi asked.

“So is that all you have to say to me?”

“For now, that’s it. “There’s something I want to hear.”

“What do you want to hear?”

“yes.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes changed.

“I wonder what happened so far.”

There was a serious look on Yeonwi’s face.

Now my son has truly become an adult. An adult who looks at the world from the same position and with the same eyes.

It’s just that the interpretation of it is different, but since we have already started a family, I don’t feel sorry for worrying about even the smallest details together.

“There were a lot of trivial things, but there’s no need to explain them to you. but….”

“…?”

“I was having a bit of trouble with that black sword-related issue.”

“Is it something to do with the black sword?”

Yeonwi told him about Yangcheon. And that he went to see Prince Moyong.

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.

‘Your father has changed too.’

If he had been my father in the past, he would not have tried to get the greedy little man’s trick even if it meant splitting the world in two.

That father has changed. He realized that this was a difficult situation to overcome with just the fairness of the pure white road.

“So what did Moyong say?”

“He said this. “It’s just a matter of making the other person mistakenly think we’re not us.”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

Yeonwi asked after seeing her son’s smile.

“Do you agree with his thoughts?”

“I agree. A reality where you can’t stay still and can’t move easily. In that case, you have to move and look first. If you don’t want to hide like a rat, the name of the Murim League should not be mentioned.”

“okay?”

“yes. Just…”

Yeon Ho-jeong stroked his chin.

“I don’t know what Moyong’s intention was when he said that. Also, no matter what, if we attack Yangcheon, there will be quite a few casualties.”

“hmm.”

“From a strategic point of view and when considering negotiations, we need to prevent casualties as much as possible.”

There was a faint smile on Yeonwi’s face.

‘A remarkable guy.’

As expected, the son is different from Prince Moyong.

His eyes and brains match well, but his perspective is different from that of Moyong.

Moyong-gun is willing to make some sacrifices for the sake of his goals. However, the son says that it is important to minimize sacrifices on this side before achieving the goal.

‘You’ve changed too.’

Yeonho-jeong wasn’t like this originally. It wasn’t as bad as Moyong’s army, but it was much rougher than it is now.

It has changed. Like yourself.

Yeonwi was proud of this change in her son.

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was lost in thought for a moment, asked.

“Is that strategy in progress?”

“Yes. “We haven’t been sent to the Black Island yet, but orders will come from higher-ups soon.”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled and stood up.

Yeonwi looked at him with puzzled eyes.

“Why are you doing that?”

“I think I also have something to do with the snail.”

“…You really?!”

An evil smile appeared on Yeon Ho-jeong’s face.

“Political conflict is about giving and receiving. You gave me one, so I will take one too.”
