Spear Heaven Martial Emperor Episode 102
The Blood Wolf Unit was the Blood Heaven Cult’s secret weapon, an elite force that would bite and hold onto their target until the very end once they set their sights on them.
Their combat power was above that of the Makrise Family’s first-class battalions.
Now that such forces had joined the battlefield, there seemed to be no problem in turning the tide of war.
“As expected, the cult has not abandoned the main family!”
Makri Jesin shouted excitedly.
The moment he saw the Blood Wolf Unit, he was certain of victory.
With more than double the troops and elites like the Blood Wolf Unit together, it would be impossible to lose even if they wanted to.
“Our purpose is not your victory, but Flame Dragon’s head.”
The Blood Wolf Commander spoke in a cold voice.
“Of course, if we cut off Flame Dragon’s head, your victory will be confirmed, but that’s merely secondary. Therefore, we will not follow your commands.”
“That doesn’t matter. Anyway, as you said, once that bastard Namgung Hyeok is gone, our victory is guaranteed.”
“Good. Then draw the other forces away from Namgung Hyeok’s side as much as possible. If you do that, we will tear off his head.”
“Understood.”
Makri Jesin said this and his eyes gleamed.
“If we drag this out, the enemies might call for reinforcements too. The Northern Sea Ice Palace is too far to come, but if Namgung Hyeok brings troops from the Namgung Family Estate or Shandong Ak Family, it will become quite troublesome.”
“So you’re saying we should strike him right now?”
“That’s right. If not now, there will be no opportunity.”
“We don’t mind… but we just fought a battle. Will that be alright?”
“Of course. The Makrise Family warriors don’t get tired from just this much.”
In truth, he was relying more on the newly joined Sado Region and Yangtze Waterway Gang’s water bandits than the Makrise Family’s forces.
He believed that with their combat power and numerical superiority, they could overwhelm the Seonghwa Sect.
The Yellow-Robed Man from Sado Region clapped his hands once.
“Then it’s decided. Begin the general offensive immediately. Of course, I trust that the Makrise Family will lead the attack.”
“…That’s only natural. This is our war.”
Though Makri Jesin was displeased, he nodded his head.
Soon.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
“Waaaaaaaah!”
Massive drum sounds echoed as the allied forces of Makrise Family, Sado Region, and Yangtze Waterway Gang began their charge.
Their target was the Seonghwa Sect’s position.
The place where Namgung Hyeok was located.
* * *
Seeing this, Namgung Hyeok nodded as if he had expected it.
“As expected, they’re attacking immediately.”
“They know that delaying would be disadvantageous for them.”
“They probably intend to end the war before reinforcements arrive from the Namgung Family Estate.”
Everyone seemed to share the same thought.
After pondering briefly, Namgung Hyeok spoke.
“So Yeon. First, lead the archer unit and intercept the enemy.”
“Yes!”
At Namgung Hyeok’s command, So Yeon stepped forward with the archers she had selected in advance.
The distance to the enemies was still quite considerable.
But they didn’t hesitate to nock arrows to their bowstrings.
Soon.
Thud thud thud thud!
With sounds of tearing through the air, dozens of arrows poured down on the enemy.
“Kuk!”
“Kyaaaah!”
Some enemies with lower cultivation levels were hit by the arrows and rolled on the ground.
So Yeon spared no internal energy as she unleashed the ultimate technique of the Flying Stream Heaven-Piercing Bow.
Thwack thwack thwack!
So Yeon’s bow alone took more enemy lives than the rest of the archer unit combined.
But even so, the enemies only hesitated briefly without their momentum being completely broken.
Maintaining more than double their numbers gave them confidence.
“Archer unit to the rear. Shield unit forward to prepare for collision.”
Then Namgung Hyeok gave the next command.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The shield unit, who had been stamping their feet as if to boost the morale of their allies, switched places with the archer unit.
They held up large wooden shields they had prepared in advance and blocked the front.
Finally.
“Kill the Seonghwa Sect bastards!”
“They’re right in front of us!”
Over a thousand enemies and allies clashed.
Before the enemies who had charged first could attack, Namgung Hyeok spoke.
“Block.”
Clang clang clang!
“…!”
At that moment, the slashing strikes that were coming down were blocked by shields and ended in futile failure.
“Stab.”
Swoosh!
Simultaneously, the shield unit stabbed the leading warriors with swords they held in their other hands.
They couldn’t even defend properly and collapsed just like that.
“Block again.”
Clang clang clang!
“Stab.”
Swoosh!
Such exchanges repeated several times.
Before long, corpses of those who had lost their lives or suffered severe injuries were piled up in layers in front of the shield unit.
“This is insane! Why are you stupidly taking hits from the front? Surround them! We have the numerical advantage!”
Seeing this, the irritated Makri Jesin shouted angrily.
Then the warriors from Sado Region and Yangtze Waterway Gang, who had been watching the Makrise Family warriors die, moved to the sides.
Since it was plains, they planned to surround and kill the allied forces.
Confirming this, Namgung Hyeok calmly gave orders.
“Baek Ya. Maeng Seungji. You two take charge of the left and right flanks respectively. Ho Young, take your special unit and strike at the enemy’s heart. Jeon Wook. So Geomlip, you kill the enemy masters trying to break through the shield soldiers. So Yeon continues shooting arrows to attack the enemy’s rear.”
“Yes!”
With resounding voices, the executives of Seonghwa Sect began moving respectively.
First, the left flank where the Yangtze Waterway Gang forces were pressing.
“Where do you water bandit bastards dare try to commit banditry on land!”
“Get lost back to the Yangtze River if you don’t want to die!”
Baek Ya stood at the very front, burning with righteous fire as he faced the charging water bandit horde.
Was this truly the leader of a faction?
His martial prowess was not at a level that ordinary water bandits could handle.
Every time Baek Ya swung his sword, water bandits died in droves.
Then what about the right flank?
“Let’s show these damn evil sect bastards the power of the Salt Island Faction!”
“Yes!”
Maeng Seungji, who was there, was no less impressive than Baek Ya.
He wielded his massive great sword as he faced the warriors of the Sado Region.
Though their numbers were smaller than the Fire Sword faction since some forces had been sent to the Ha Family, the might of the Flame Blade faction was still at a terrifying level.
“Hahahaha!”
And behind them, Ho Young and his special unit could be seen circling around to charge toward the enemy’s heart.
Asura Demon-Slaying Blade.
Each time Ho Young’s demon-slaying blade flashed, five or six enemies lost their lives.
As a charge captain who had been with them since the Northern Region days, his breakthrough power could be called the best in the Seonghwa Sect.
A massive hammer that crushed everything in its path with terrifying momentum.
That was exactly what Ho Young was.
He was charging precisely toward where Makri Jesin, who could be called the enemy’s supreme commander, was located.
‘Not bad.’
Namgung Hyeok, who had taken in the entire situation from his army’s center, evaluated the circumstances.
Though they were outnumbered, their side was completely overwhelming in terms of momentum.
At this rate, completely annihilating the enemies wouldn’t be difficult.
It was when he was thinking this.
“Hmm?”
Namgung Hyeok’s energy sensing caught suspicious movements.
Immediately.
Swish!
Namgung Hyeok drew his sword and severed the neck of a warrior wearing a wolf mask.
“Ho.”
Namgung Hyeok looked around with interest.
About thirty or so?
A group of warriors, each possessing considerable skill, had infiltrated all the way to where he was.
These must be the assassination squad meant to take his head.
“Huhu.”
Namgung Hyeok showed a strange smile as he looked at them.
The leader of the wolf masks, the Blood Wolf Commander, frowned and asked.
“What’s so amusing?”
“The thought of trying to do something to me with just about thirty people is laughable.”
Whoosh!
Sacred fire blazed up on Namgung Hyeok’s sword.
Sacred flames that repelled and purified all demons.
Namgung Hyeok immediately swung his sword horizontally, unleashing a slashing strike.
Flame Prison Heaven Wheel.
Swooosh!
A circle of flames formed around Namgung Hyeok’s radius, creating a large area.
The area that formed cut down everyone within it.
Three Blood Wolves instantly had their upper and lower bodies severed and cut away.
“Fall back!”
The Blood Wolf Commander’s eyes widened at the sight and he shouted.
But Namgung Hyeok instead charged toward them with all his might.
Slash!
Namgung Hyeok deployed the Fire Dance Chain technique and began cutting down the Blood Wolves clinging to him one by one.
‘What is this!’
The Blood Wolf Commander’s eyes widened.
The Blood Wolves currently facing Namgung Hyeok were warriors who had reached at least the pinnacle level in martial prowess.
Yet he was cutting down such elites with a single stroke?
The opponent’s martial prowess was much stronger than anticipated.
At this rate, even if the Blood Wolf unit won, they would surely suffer great losses.
“What are you doing! Everyone fall back!”
So the Blood Wolf Commander decided to step forward himself.
The Blood Wolf Commander leaped forward and swung his sword toward Namgung Hyeok.
It was an attack launched at an exquisite moment, so a smile briefly crossed the Blood Wolf Commander’s lips.
He thought that at least Namgung Hyeok would be wounded by the attack or retreat to avoid it.
But it was completely different.
Whoooosh!
“Flames!?”
Suddenly, tremendous flames shot up from Namgung Hyeok’s entire body.
The flames that rose up instead forced the Blood Wolf Commander, who had tried to launch a surprise attack, to retreat.
Otherwise, he might have been instantly swallowed by those flames.
“So you must be the leader of these people.”
From within those flames, Namgung Hyeok showed a chilling smile.
The Blood Wolf Commander desperately suppressed the fear he felt from his instincts and launched an attack.
Terrifying blood light gleamed on the Blood Wolf Commander’s sword.
“What are you doing! Attack all at once!”
Realizing he couldn’t handle Namgung Hyeok alone, he gave orders to the other Blood Wolves.
Clatter!
From all directions, more than five Blood Wolves charged forward, thrusting their swords.
Attacks unfolding from all directions.
But Namgung Hyeok only sneered.
He stepped with True Step and raised his sword high into the sky.
Rumble!
“…!”
At that moment, everyone who had tried to surround him could feel tremendous pressure weighing down on their shoulders.
The Blood Wolf Commander immediately recognized what it was.
“Emperor Sword Form! How can you, who isn’t even the head of the Namgung Family, use this!”
“Is that what you’re curious about right now?”
Namgung Hyeok smiled brightly and brought down his sword.
“Ask King Yama in hell about that.”
Crack!
The sword came down with fierce momentum and split the Blood Wolf Commander’s chest.
He died without even being able to scream, his eyes wide open.
Namgung Hyeok took in the sight of his corpse falling backward and sent slashing strikes in all directions.
Swish! Swish! Swoosh!
The Blood Wolves who had approached to surround him fell, scattering blood.
The remaining Blood Wolves, thinking it was hopeless, began to flee from their positions.
“Where to.”
Namgung Hyeok chased after them at terrifying speed and began cutting them down one by one.
The sight was like watching a war god descended upon the battlefield.
A moment later.
“Whew.”
Having used his full power to cut down all enemies, he lifted up the Blood Wolf Commander’s head.
He infused his internal energy and shouted in a booming voice.
“Makri Jesin! Is this pathetic thing all you prepared!”
“…!”
Makri Jesin, who was quite far away, widened his eyes.
In his sight was the head of the Blood Wolf Commander, whom he had thought would never be defeated.
He couldn’t help but experience extreme confusion.
‘The executives were definitely all scattered, weren’t they? Don’t tell me he defeated the Blood Wolf Squad alone?’
Shiver!
Goosebumps rose along his spine.
Makri Jesin gritted his teeth as he surveyed the battlefield situation.
For all their spirited charge, the battlefield situation was extremely unfavorable.
There wasn’t a single unit that wasn’t being pushed back, whether left wing, right wing, or main force.
Moreover, that Asura in the distance who was clearly targeting him was approaching with mad laughter bursting forth.
At this rate, everything would be over.
In the end, he had no choice but to make a decision.
“Everyone retreat!”
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of war drums signaling retreat echoed across the battlefield.
At that, the warriors who had been fighting from the Makri Family, Yangtze Water Bandits, and Evil Path Alliance all began fleeing in panic.
Of course, Namgung Hyeok wasn’t one to just watch that happen.
He mounted his horse as if to command a pursuit and shouted.
“Don’t let them escape! Annihilate those bastards!”
“Waaaaaaaah!”
The enraged forces of the Sacred Fire Gate struck down upon the fleeing troops of the Makri Family.
