Spear Heaven Martial Emperor Episode 89

 

 

At the same time.

“They’ve come.”

Namgung Hyeok muttered as he watched the cavalry joining their allied camp.

These were all warriors from the Fire Sword faction and Flame Blade faction sent by the Yeomhwa Trading Company.

“Hahaha! Leader. As promised, I’ve brought a hundred volunteers.”

“I greet my Lord.”

Ho Young and Baek Yeonhu, who were leading their group, paid their respects.

Namgung Hyeok grinned.

Though it was only a hundred men, a hundred infantry and a hundred cavalry had completely different meanings on the battlefield.

Moreover, these were the elites of the Fire Sword faction and Flame Blade faction.

He had no doubt that they would demonstrate power equal to a thousand troops on the battlefield.

Each individual’s morale was high enough to justify such thinking.

“Now, looking at the situation, it seems like a battle is about to break out. What should we do?”

“What should you do, you ask.”

Namgung Hyeok chuckled and pointed at the enemies.

“Go and tear them apart.”

That was all that was needed.

 

* * *

 

“Everyone form defensive formation! Watch the cavalry’s movements and don’t break formation!”

Bu Hyeon shouted, urging his subordinates.

He had no choice.

Even though it was only about a hundred men, the enemy’s reinforcements were cavalry.

If handled carelessly, they could become a variable that would shake the entire battlefield.

Perhaps they might fail to stop them and have their forces scattered helplessly.

‘That cannot happen.’

Bu Hyeon knew the importance of formation all too well from the results of past battles with Namgung Hyeok.

Though he hadn’t participated in that battle, the destruction of four times their forces was enough to instill vigilance in everyone in the Evil Path Alliance.

So he was desperately trying to maintain formation by any means necessary.

“Don’t worry too much. We’re armed with shields and spears, so even if the enemies are on horseback, they won’t be able to approach easily.”

“Phew. Is that so?”

“Yes. Our main force’s troops are no longer the disorganized rabble they used to be. Now let’s show them what we’re made of.”

“Good. Show those enemies what we’re made of!”

“Waaaaaaaah!”

With a great battle cry, the Evil Path Alliance forces began to move.

They all moved toward the Namgung Family forces without breaking their battle formation.

Watching this, Namgung Hyeok acted exactly as expected.

“Ho Young. I’m entrusting the cavalry to you. Trample the enemies.”

He sent the cavalry first to smash their formation.

Seeing this, Bu Hyeon smiled faintly.

“Come on then.”

He was confident he could handle them.

Thud thud thud thud!

As the sound of hoofbeats drew closer, Bu Hyeon shouted to his allies.

“Halt! Ready shields and spears and prepare for impact!”

The Evil Path Alliance warriors formed a formation with spears protruding between shields.

Bu Hyeon grinned at the sight.

This combination was difficult for cavalry to break through.

If they ignored it and just charged, they’d end up as meat skewered on iron spikes.

Yes, that should have been the case…

Thud thud thud thud!

‘They’re not slowing down?’

The cavalry that should have split left and right to maneuver by now didn’t stop.

Instead, they kicked their horses’ flanks to increase speed.

“Kahahaha!”

And at their head was Ho Young.

He was preparing to strike with a massive demon-slaying blade wrapped in starlight.

Bu Hyeon felt an ominous sensation at that moment.

An instinctive feeling that he couldn’t let that attack proceed.

But.

“Try to block this!”

Before Bu Hyeon could do anything, the demon-slaying blade flashed.

Asura Demon-Slaying Blade.

First technique, Blood Wind Slash.

Swaaaaaaash!

The viciously unleashed slashing strike completely destroyed the formation of shields and spears blocking the way.

“Th-this is insane!”

Bu Hyeon cursed.

Just once.

With a single attack, the formation they had carefully constructed was shattered.

But that wasn’t the end.

“Follow Guardian Ho Young!”

“Uwaaaaaaah!”

Whoosh!

The Fire Sword faction and Flame Blade faction following behind Ho Young each ignited purifying fire on their weapons.

They squeezed through the gap Ho Young had created and began skillfully demonstrating the advantages of cavalry.

With tremendous breakthrough power, they swept away everything blocking their path.

“Uaaaaagh!”

“Gaaaah!”

“St-stop!”

Even as screams erupted everywhere, they showed no intention of stopping.

In an instant, over a hundred allied troops lost their lives. Bu Hyeon tried to rally his forces to stop them somehow, but this time a horn sounded.

Piiiiiiiik!

“Sweep away those Evil Path Alliance bastards!”

“Uwaaaaaaah!”

Charging simultaneously were the Namgung Family forces, including the Wind Cloud Unit.

They formed an assault formation led by Namgung Hyeok and struck at the Evil Path Alliance forces divided by the cavalry.

“Block them! Block those bastards!”

Bu Hyeon looked at them and shouted urgently.

But those who collided first were swept away without even having time to react to the command.

Swaaaash!

Evil Path Alliance warriors fell bleeding from the continuous slashing strikes.

“Follow the Leader!”

“Don’t let them regroup! If the spear-wielding bastards form ranks, it’ll be troublesome!”

“Haaaah!”

And the Wind Cloud Unit members followed behind them.

Now they had become completely elite, breaking through the enemy’s defensive lines with fierce momentum.

The warriors of the Evil Path Alliance at the front were surrounded by enemies both front and back, unable to move either way.

So they had no choice but to become prey. In an instant, more than half of the enemy forces were helplessly neutralized.

“Damn it all!”

Bu Hyeon could no longer remain still.

He who had been giving commands from the rear grabbed his Crescent Blade and rushed out to stop the cavalry.

And at that moment.

“They’re moving.”

There were other forces taking advantage of the battlefield chaos to make their move.

They were warriors in red robes who had come from the Blood Heaven Sect.

They had waited until the Evil Path Alliance forces had worn down the enemy’s strength as much as possible before moving.

Their target was naturally Namgung Hyeok.

The master who was dominating this battlefield.

 

* * *

 

Namgung Hyeok turned his head at the unusual killing intent.

“Strike!”

“Kuk!”

“What are these guys!?”

“Attack!”

From the right rear of the Pungun Unit, a battle of a different nature than before was unfolding.

Red-robed enemies clearly different from the Evil Path Alliance forces were breaking through.

‘A special unit of the Evil Path Alliance?’

No, there was something alien about them for that to be the case.

But he couldn’t keep pondering the enemies’ identity forever.

Namgung Hyeok left the charge to another subordinate and immediately turned direction, rushing toward where the red-robed enemies were.

Soon.

Whoosh!

The Flame Sword flashed and the red-robed enemies’ heads flew through the air.

“It’s him!”

“The master of the Sacred Fire!”

But the red-robed enemies didn’t show much disturbance even though their comrades had died, merely shouting like that.

Namgung Hyeok’s eyes narrowed.

Master of the Sacred Fire.

That title wasn’t what the Evil Path Alliance used when referring to him.

And if his guess was correct, that meant…

“Blood Heaven Sect bastards? I thought it might be like this from before, but it seems you two were indeed in cahoots.”

No one answered Namgung Hyeok’s words.

They simply raised their aura and emanated killing intent toward him.

But before they could charge at Namgung Hyeok.

“How dare you.”

Thwack!

With the sound of air bursting, several Blood Heaven Sect members in front of Namgung Hyeok tumbled down.

Sharp arrows were embedded between their brows.

So Yeon, who had shot the arrows, drew her bowstring with a fierce expression unlike her usual self.

“Insolent fools. How dare you show killing intent toward my lord…”

She shot arrows with movements like art itself.

Movements close to divine skill, striking the enemies’ vital points without a single error.

The Blood Heaven Sect members who were about to launch an offensive flinched at that terrifying attack.

Everyone felt fear as those at the front were struck down in just the time it takes to blink a few times.

But then.

“What are you all doing! Kill the master of the Sacred Fire!”

The Blood Heaven Sect member who appeared to be their leader shouted.

“For Blood Heaven’s dominion!”

“Uwaaaaaaah!”

They seemed to gain courage from those words and began charging with fierce momentum.

It was the movement of fanatics who didn’t seem to fear death.

“Ho.”

Namgung Hyeok looked at such Blood Heaven Sect members and laughed as if amused.

At the same time, his sword flashed and sliced through the air.

Slash!

What followed was the death of the three closest attackers.

As if that was the beginning, Namgung Hyeok swung his sword like a demon and pushed back the Blood Heaven Sect members.

With So Yeon shooting arrows between his movements, the Blood Heaven Sect members could only fall helplessly.

“What is this…!”

The middle-aged man who appeared to be the leader shouted in bewilderment.

He had heard reports and knew, but he never imagined such a terrifying display that wouldn’t be overwhelmed by nearly two hundred people alone.

He gritted his teeth as if he had no choice and stepped forward himself.

“Die!”

Clang!

His downward strike was blocked by the Flame Sword.

Through the heavy blow, Namgung Hyeok realized the opponent was the enemies’ leader.

He immediately deployed the Flame Dragon Breaking Heaven technique, aiming for the leader’s heart.

“Not a chance!”

But the leader was no ordinary person either.

With a battle cry, he cut down the flaming dragon that lunged at him with its mouth wide open.

Namgung Hyeok attacked him repeatedly with an amused expression.

The leader gritted his teeth and blocked all those attacks.

“What are you all doing! Kill this bastard!”

But thinking he was overwhelmed alone, he urged his subordinates to charge at Namgung Hyeok.

Namgung Hyeok was also in a situation where he was fighting alone far ahead of his allies due to his rampage.

It wouldn’t be strange at all if he got surrounded.

But instead of panicking, Namgung Hyeok lowered his sword as if drawing it, then swung it.

Whoooosh!

“What!?”

At that moment, a wheel of flames formed along the sword’s trajectory, cutting down everything within its orbit.

It was the manifestation of the Seventh Form of the Sacred Fire Ultimate Sword, Flame Prison Heaven Wheel.

The leader’s mouth fell open at that terrifying sword strike.

“What a monster…”

“Let’s finish this now.”

Namgung Hyeok charged toward the leader again.

“Block him!”

“Protect the Leader!”

The Blood Heaven Sect Members around him threw themselves forward to somehow protect him.

Namgung Hyeok cut them down, stabbed them, and crushed them with force.

After showing such scenes several times, there were no more sect members approaching.

Everyone just trembled in fear and retreated.

The leader stammered and gave orders again.

“Wh-what are you all doing! If you don’t protect me…”

“Is all you can do look for your subordinates?”

Namgung Hyeok said this and chuckled softly.

“Pathetic bastard.”

Swoosh!

His sword, blazing with flames, severed the leader’s neck.

The leader’s head flew through the air and dropped to the ground with a thud.

Namgung Hyeok didn’t stop there and continued attacking the remaining Blood Heaven Sect members.

“Follow the Leader!”

The Wind Cloud Unit members followed behind him.

They were able to push back the Blood Heaven Sect members whose morale had instantly plummeted.

Even those trying to flee—only a very few at the rear of the formation were able to do so.

Most of the Blood Heaven Sect members couldn’t withstand Namgung Hyeok’s charge and ultimately fell.

Namgung Hyeok watched the few surviving Blood Heaven Sect members flee and raised his sword.

“Continue the charge.”

Now it was time to sweep away the remaining forces of the Evil Path Alliance as well.
