Spear Heaven Martial Emperor Episode 51

“Ha…!”

Hell Blade Demon let out a hollow laugh as if dumbfounded.

Even so, a fierce murderous glint arose in his eyes.

“You little brat. Do you know who I am before spouting such nonsense?”

His tone changed.

It returned to the original Hell Blade Demon’s way of speaking—more arrogant and violent.

Namgung Hyeok answered calmly.

“You’re just a fool who believes in past glory and thinks highly of yourself. An insect that feeds on the honey dripping bit by bit from under the Evil Path Alliance Leader. That’s what you are.”

“Haha! You speak well. Without even thinking how much it would hurt to be bitten by that insect.”

Hell Blade Demon burst into mad laughter as he raised his great sword.

“I originally intended to capture you alive and well, but I’ve changed my mind. Don’t blame me even if a limb or two gets cut off.”

He swung his great sword through the air and shouted.

“Attack!”

“Uwaaaaaaaa!”

At that moment, the thunderous voices of nearly two thousand Evil Path Alliance warriors echoed.

It was a battle cry that would crush the spirits of those who heard it.

They each raised their weapons and charged toward the Namgung Family forces.

“To charge straight ahead without any formation or strategy… This is why martial artists are…”

So Yeon sneered at the sight.

Ho Young, Jeon Wook, and So Geomlip felt the same way. They looked at Namgung Hyeok with strange smiles.

Like a faithful wife waiting for her husband’s return, Namgung Hyeok remained motionless, quietly waiting for the right moment.

Meanwhile, the distance between enemies and allies gradually closed.

And when that distance had narrowed to a certain extent.

“All forces, throw.”

“Yes!”

A resounding voice echoed.

At that moment, hundreds of stones flew through the air.

“What!?”

Hell Blade Demon showed a flustered expression.

But before he could say anything, the stones infused with internal energy exploded among the Evil Path Alliance warriors.

Thud thud thud thud!

“Urgh!”

“Ugh!”

“Argh!”

Screams erupted everywhere.

Some died instantly from head strikes, while others had bones broken in their shoulders or arms.

Some couldn’t breathe after taking direct hits to the chest, while others collapsed with shattered knees.

Honestly speaking, the number wasn’t that high.

The accuracy rate of those not professionally trained in throwing techniques wasn’t very high.

But the visual impact was extremely intense.

The two thousand warriors who had been charging fiercely hesitated for a moment.

During that time, the next stone barrage followed.

Thud thud thud thud!

“Aaargh!”

“Damn it!”

“Urk!”

Stones poured down once again.

In an instant, dozens of warriors fell into combat-incapable states.

Mid-level officers who saw this became enraged.

“Damn it! Protect your heads with your arms! And charge forward! Once we get closer, they won’t be able to pull these dirty tricks…!”

Swoosh!

His words couldn’t continue.

An arrow from somewhere had pierced through his forehead.

Everyone looked with shocked faces at the one who shot the arrow.

So Yeon was grinning broadly while continuously drawing her bowstring.

Thwack! Thud! Thwack!

“C-Captain!”

“It’s sniping!”

“Aaaaaargh!”

She viciously shot arrows only at those who appeared to be mid-level officers.

It was truly a situation of perfect accuracy.

Wailing began to be heard from various parts of the enemy camp.

As the officers leading them died, the subordinates below trembled in confusion.

“This is…”

The Namgung Family officers watching this scene looked at So Yeon with shocked eyes.

Her ability to pick off and kill only enemy commanders was frightening enough that they never wanted to face her as an enemy.

Namgung Jihak, who was nearby, let out a hollow laugh.

‘Only monsters have gathered.’

Right now the others were focusing only on So Yeon, but Namgung Jihak knew well that she wasn’t the only secret weapon on their side.

‘That Ho Young fellow, that Jeon Wook fellow. And that So Geomlip fellow are also extraordinary. They’ll probably each display abilities no less than that woman’s in their respective specialties.’

How did Namgung Hyeok manage to bring such monster-like individuals under his command?

Namgung Jihak found himself newly curious.

But now wasn’t the time to worry about such things.

“They’re coming.”

Although their momentum had significantly weakened due to several rounds of stone throwing and sniping, the enemies had arrived right in front of them.

However, Namgung Hyeok showed no signs of panic at all.

He calmly gave his orders.

“Shield bearers. Forward.”

Step!

In place of those who had been throwing stones, warriors carrying large wooden shields stepped forward.

“Uaaaaaaaa!”

“Kill them!”

They raised their shields while facing the enemy forces charging with furious momentum.

Soon.

Clang clang clang!

“…!”

The swords thrust by the Evil Path Alliance warriors were blocked by the shields.

The Evil Path Alliance warriors were flustered.

Through that gap, Namgung Hyeok’s voice penetrated.

“Thrust.”

Swoosh!

Sword blades flying between the shields pierced through the enemies’ chests.

The warriors in the front row fell helplessly like that.

While the Evil Path Alliance warriors charging from behind were confused, Namgung Hyeok naturally gave orders like flowing water.

“The center shall advance while maintaining formation. Left wing Pungwoon Unit. Change to triangular formation then penetrate and cut the enemy’s waist. Ho Young, can I leave it to you?”

“Hahahaha! Absolutely!”

Ho Young stood at the head of the Pungwoon Unit while raising his Demon-Slaying Blade.

Namgung Hyeok saw this and gave orders to the Death Extermination Unit.

“The Death Extermination Unit on the right wing will assist the Third-Class Battle Units in the center while preventing our forces from being completely surrounded. Can you do it?”

“Yes!”

The Myeolsadae Commander answered vigorously.

Unit commander Namgung Hwan had a displeased expression but couldn’t rebel.

If he defied Namgung Hyeok’s words here, he would likely be dealt with under military law.

“And Uncle, Jeon Wook, and I will move separately as a special force. Geomlip. Please take command of the battlefield in my place.”

“Understood, my Lord.”

So Geomlip nodded his head.

Namgung Hyeok handed the command flag to So Geomlip and spoke to Namgung Jihak.

“Let’s go. It’s time to take the enemy commander’s head.”

“Just the three of us? Isn’t that too dangerous?”

But contrary to his words, a smile hung on his lips.

Far from being worried, he looked full of anticipation.

Namgung Hyeok smiled savagely in response.

“We’re going with three for safety.”

Whoosh!

Flames erupted from his sword.

“Originally, I alone would be sufficient.”

* * *

Meanwhile, Hell Blade Demon, who was watching the battlefield situation, couldn’t help but be flustered.

“Wh-what is this…!”

The war situation was flowing too differently from expectations.

He knew well enough that the enemies were hiding their true strength. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have picked this fight.

But the numerical difference of four times wasn’t so light.

Therefore, even if they faced an unexpected counterattack, he expected it would be at least evenly matched, or perhaps slightly in their favor.

But what was this situation?

‘Our forces are being overwhelmed.’

The vanguard, selected from the most valiant warriors, couldn’t break through the Third-Class Battle Unit with shields and were constantly being pushed back.

On the left side of the enemy formation, some terrifying master leading a unit was literally splitting their formation in half, and on the right side, they were supporting the center while defeating the Evil Path Alliance warriors who were being surrounded front and back.

Swish! Swish!

On top of that, the endless barrage of arrows flying in from earlier.

Nothing was easy to deal with.

Their army’s morale was visibly hitting rock bottom.

“This is…”

He couldn’t help but agonize for a moment.

‘Should I order a retreat?’

At this rate, it was obvious they would suffer near-total annihilation.

Honestly, if it were up to his heart alone, it would be better to retreat for now and reorganize their forces.

However.

‘Must we retreat after only taking damage like this?’

The damage their forces had already taken was not insignificant.

But if they had to flee without inflicting any damage on the enemies…

‘Would the Evil Path Alliance Leader really leave me alone?’

Of course, since he was an important asset, they wouldn’t kill him or anything.

But it was clear he would receive severe punishment.

‘If that happens, my position will fall endlessly.’

He would be completely pushed out even among the top executives in similar positions.

He couldn’t let that happen.

‘At least I need to achieve something I can make excuses for!’

Hell Blade Demon’s eyes blazed with fire.

He picked up his great sword and surveyed the battlefield.

He felt he needed to step forward personally and do something.

But then.

“Commander! Look over there!”

One of the Blade Demons following him pointed somewhere.

“That is…!”

Hell Blade Demon’s eyes widened.

At a place quite far from the enemies’ base camp.

There, three masters were mercilessly slaughtering their forces while advancing.

And at the head of them was none other than Namgung Hyeok, the enemy commander.

Hell Blade Demon looked at him with bewildered eyes.

‘Is he in his right mind?’

Such a thought occurred to him for a moment.

The enemy commander Namgung Hyeok had personally come out from the main camp and was rampaging like this.

And judging by their direction of advance, the place they were heading to was exactly where he was.

Hell Blade Demon could understand what Namgung Hyeok was thinking.

That bastard was aiming for his head!

“Crazy bastard.”

He let out a hollow laugh from sheer absurdity.

But at the same time, this was also an opportunity.

An opportunity to kill the enemy leader and make up for his mistake!

‘No, it won’t just end with making up for my mistake. If I can capture him, this battle will be as good as won.’

The current strength of the Namgung Family came from none other than Namgung Hyeok.

Without that bastard, the Namgung Family could never have been a match for the Evil Path Alliance. So he was a target that needed to be eliminated by any means.

“Blade Demons, listen! Somehow separate those bastards!”

Therefore, Hell Blade Demon gave orders in a loud voice.

The enemy’s number was only three.

But each one possessed extraordinary power.

Especially, all three had martial prowess strong enough not to be inferior to himself.

If those three combined their attacks, he would be finished.

So he had no choice but to separate them, even at the cost of his own forces’ casualties.

“Yes!”

The Blade Demons, who were Hell Blade Demon’s loyal subordinates, followed that order.

Together with the Evil Path Alliance warriors who came with them, they clung on to somehow separate the three people.

Slash!

Scrape!

“Kyaaaah!”

In the midst of this, tremendous damage occurred on the Evil Path Alliance side.

Even though there were only three of them, their military power was ridiculously strong.

But perhaps it was worth throwing manpower at them, as after tremendous sacrifice, the three were finally separated and isolated.

“Don’t let them regroup! Hold them somehow until I kill Namgung Hyeok!”

He gave orders to all remaining executives and rushed toward where Namgung Hyeok was with the Blade Demons.

Namgung Hyeok smiled seeing this.

As if he had been waiting for it.

Whoosh!

The power of burning flames on his sword blade grew stronger.

Namgung Hyeok raised his sword high to the sky and swept through the air.

The third technique of the Sacred Fire Ultimate Sword.

Falling Flowers Fill the Sky with Red.

A rain of flames poured down toward those charging at Namgung Hyeok.
