The Three Kings’ Disciple (105)

-Gyeonggi Province Gate Attack, Who is the Main Character?
The news headlines began to change.
Just yesterday, the media was unanimously claiming that Mount Hua should be in charge of attacking the Gyeonggi Province Gate.
-Joint Attack-!
They were now putting up new headlines.
Of course, Black Lion, Ha Se-min’s efforts were significant.
When he, who had been silent, started pouring money and moving the media, the headlines quickly changed.
Of course, it wasn’t something that could be done with Black Lion’s power alone.
‘Justification.’
The fact that the media had a justification to write new headlines was effective.
In the structure of Mount Hua and Eun-ha, they had no choice but to side with Mount Hua no matter how much money they poured.
No matter how good money is, it wouldn’t be worth more than their lives.
‘Hainan.’
However, the situation changed with Hainan’s participation.
Regardless of the internal situation, on the surface, Mount Hua and Hainan looked like rivals competing with each other.
So, they thought that even if they didn’t side with Mount Hua, Hainan would keep them in check.
-Indeed-!
The media changed in an instant.
-Mount Hua and Hainan….
All the media focused on the joint attack on the Gyeonggi Province Gate.
-And Eun-ha, where is the best in Korea?
Eun-ha came to stand shoulder to shoulder with them.
***
‘She did well this time.’
Kang Eun-ha was as happy as a child at Ro-woon’s words.
Her eyes were full of burning desire.
‘More! More! I will work harder!’
Although Ro-woon changed her plan at the end, it was Kang Eun-ha who came up with the initial draft.
It was something that could only be praised for her ability and will.
There were many things gained from this negotiation.
‘The fact that we don’t have to give up the gate attack.’
The fact that Eun-ha is participating in the gate attack, which was about to be handed over to Mount Hua, is important.
But more than that, the biggest thing is.
‘Eun-ha is standing shoulder to shoulder with Mount Hua and Hainan.’
Although Eun-ha showed rapid growth, in the end, from an external perspective, it was just a guild with a short history.
It was evaluated that they were clearly inferior compared to Mount Hua and Hainan.
There are times when low evaluations are good, but now it was a situation where they needed to raise their evaluation.
The fact that they were standing shoulder to shoulder with them, regardless of success or failure, meant that Eun-ha’s value had increased that much.
-What if Eun-ha succeeds?
Third-rate media and video platforms that mainly deal with sensational news say.
-Eun-ha coin. Is it going to skyrocket?
If Eun-ha succeeds in this joint attack, the biggest benefit will naturally follow.
Eun-ha didn’t have a listed company or other investment methods, but there were many ways to invest in increasing Eun-ha’s name value.
‘Gyeonggi Province.’
A sphere of influence protected by a reliable guild always increases its value.
The house prices in Gyeonggi Province began to skyrocket.
-Several guilds have expressed their intention to move to Gyeonggi Province.
Also, there were many attempts to enter under that sphere of influence.
Moreover, Eun-ha had a bigger advantage than Mount Hua and Hainan.
‘They don’t discriminate against player guilds much.’
Although there is a strong gatekeeper called Baran, the player guilds under it were feeling a freedom they had not felt in other spheres of influence.
Such situations and rumors gathered, and the attention of the entire Republic of Korea was focused on Eun-ha.
“Are you taking extreme advantage?”
At the playful voice, Ro-woon, who was sitting on the stairs, looked at the owner of the voice.
“At this rate, really….”
A handsome face.
“I wonder if Eun-ha might surpass the name of Mount Hua?”
The smile on his lips looked even more annoying.
“Cheong In-woo.”
Red Plum Blossom Cheong In-woo, it was him.
“Don’t you have anything to do?”
Ro-woon said, looking around.
Everyone was moving busily.
This place was in front of the Gyeonggi Province Gate where the joint attack would take place.
“You don’t seem to have anything to do either, so what’s the matter?”
Cheong In-woo said that and tried to sit next to Ro-woon.
Swoosh.
Ro-woon moved his body and sat in the spot where Cheong In-woo was trying to sit.
“How petty.”
Cheong In-woo snorted as if it was childish.
He turned around.
People moving busily were visible.
‘Eun-ha.’
The troops of Eun-ha who would participate in this attack were Eun-ha’s First Corps.
It was Eun-ha’s best force, with Do Mu-seong, who was the First Elder, as the corps commander, no matter what anyone said.
Next, the Third Corps Commander, Jeong Chi-soo, would join.
A total of fifty.
Rather than being many, it was a small number.
-Blood Demon Lord!
It felt like Kang Eun-ha’s cry was heard.
-I should be with you!
Kang Eun-ha also wanted to participate in this attack.
As it was the greatest honor for a Blood Cultist to stand on the battlefield with the Blood Demon, she couldn’t be left out as the Blood Cult’s priestess.
But she was different now.
-It’s a shame… but go and come back safely.
She said with a bitter smile.
She had now completely adapted to this world.
‘Kang Eun-ha is the guild leader.’
Regardless of the reality, she was the one in the highest position of Eun-ha on the surface.
So, unless the guild leaders of Mount Hua and Hainan stepped forward in this attack, she shouldn’t step forward.
This attack was a fight to prove that Eun-ha was standing shoulder to shoulder with Mount Hua and Hainan.
On the surface, they should be equal or.
‘Rather, they should be weaker.’
That’s why fifty.
Pfft.
Cheong In-woo, who was next to him, smiled.
“Still, I saw one step ahead, right?”
He said, looking at the troops he had brought.
Five Black Plums, and he borrowed other corps members who were not from his Red Plum Blossom Corps.
“Thirty!”
There were a total of thirty.
With this, Mount Hua would only suffer minimal losses.
On the other hand.
“It seems like they’ve made up their minds?”
The man who occupied the majority of these many people.
He was looking at Ro-woon and Cheong In-woo with a cold gaze.
Great Sea Sword Oh Jin-kyung.
Behind him, many people were standing armed with a sharp momentum.
‘Great Sea Corps.’
The Great Sea Corps members, who were the pride of Hainan, were the main characters.
A total of one hundred.
The entire Great Sea Corps was here.
“That’s right.”
Finally, Ro-woon opened his mouth.
“You’re the strange one.”
“Why?”
Ro-woon’s gaze turned to Oh Jin-kyung.
“It means they don’t intend to lose. It means they don’t have any intention of losing from the start.”
A will to clash with all their might.
And confidence that doesn’t have a speck of doubt.
It was a will to do their best in attacking the gate, regardless of Eun-ha or Mount Hua.
“Then why am I strange?”
“What are we to each other? Why do you keep asking so familiarly?”
“I don’t dislike strong people.”
Cheong In-woo said.
“It’s been a while since I’ve been interested in someone.”
“Are all the people in Mount Hua like you?”
“You can say that I’m the only one who’s special. So why am I strange?”
At Cheong In-woo’s question, Ro-woon said as if he was annoyed.
“Because you guys are thinking that you might lose.”
At those words, Cheong In-woo’s face stiffened for a moment.
“The fact that you’re thinking about how to avoid responsibility if Mount Hua fails to succeed in the attack is strange.”
What is Mount Hua?
It was a huge force of silver that was positioned higher than Hainan.
Also, one of the chairmen of the Martial Arts Association was the head of Mount Hua.
The best martial arts group that was incredibly solid.
It was strange that they were thinking that they might fail in this attack.
“That’s because of you in front of me.”
Cheong In-woo shrugged his shoulders and said.
“I can’t even imagine how much of a monster you are.”
When Ro-woon was resting his chin as if he wasn’t interested.
Thud.
A single footstep began to be heard.
Swoosh.
As if heavy rain was falling, silence enveloped the surroundings in an instant.
The one who overwhelmed this strange atmosphere.
“It seems like you’re having an interesting conversation.”
Oh Jin-kyung stood in front of Ro-woon and Cheong In-woo.
“Can I join in?”
Unlike his friendly tone, his voice was extremely cold.
Cheong In-woo and Ro-woon could feel a clear hostility.
* * *
Hainan’s gaze.
They were not directed at Mount Hua, which could be said to be their biggest enemy.
They did not let their guard down against Mount Hua, but their hostility was directed at Eun-ha.
It was directed at Eun-ha.
“Can I join in?”
The reason was not difficult to guess.
“I didn’t have a proper conversation last time, but you are that person….”
Oh Jin-kyung’s hostility towards Ro-woon.
“They say you are the martial artist who single-handedly destroyed the Blue Sword Formation.”
It was more like fighting spirit than hostility.
“Great Sea Sword, that’s him.”
Cheong In-woo said as if he was teasing him.
“They say that he single-handedly broke the Blue Sword Formation in the East Sea battle. I’ve heard many times how exhilarating that scene was.”
Oh Jin-kyung’s face remained unchanged towards Ro-woon despite Cheong In-woo’s words.
“The Blue Sword Formation is by no means a light sword formation. If you have handled it alone, I think you are a martial artist who deserves to be recognized.”
“…….”
“But you’d better not underestimate Hainan.”
Pride in Hainan.
“This time, I will show you the true power of Hainan.”
That pride felt like a surging wave.
“But.”
Then Cheong In-woo intervened again.
“Great Sea Sword, I don’t think this is the time for you to be doing this.”
Everyone’s gaze turned to one place at the same time.
Cheong In-woo, Ro-woon, and Oh Jin-kyung were all martial artists who had surpassed the Transcendent Realm.
There was something that their senses had caught at the same time.
“……!”
A fierce fighting spirit.
A much thicker fighting spirit than Oh Jin-kyung’s was felt from behind the people gathered.
Swoosh.
The martial artists of Hainan parted like a wave and opened a path.
Thud. Thud.
The one walking through it.
“Are you an uninvited guest?”
At Cheong In-woo’s question, Oh Jin-kyung frowned.
The martial artist who appeared from the parted waves.
He began to walk towards where Eun-ha’s corps members were.
All eyes were already focused there.
Swish!
A path was opened even among Eun-ha’s corps members with disciplined movements.
Thud.
Someone popped out from among Eun-ha’s corps members with firm and powerful steps.
And the two met in the center where everyone was gathered.
“It’s been a while.”
The one who greeted first was Eun-ha.
It was Do Mu-seong, who was to lead this attack.
And the one who came through the waves of Hainan.
“It’s been a while.”
He and Do Mu-seong were acquaintances.
“The main characters of the East Sea battle are over there.”
At Cheong In-woo’s words, Oh Jin-kyung’s face distorted again.
The one who appeared there.
“Elder Gu.”
It was Hainan’s elder, Gu Hyung-jin.
Gu Hyung-jin, he was the elder of Hainan who fought against Do Mu-seong in the battle of the East Sea.
A man obsessed with swords.
And he had become half a cripple due to his defeat that day.
He, who had been lying low in Hainan’s headquarters, had appeared.
Kukukukuku!
The fighting spirit pouring out of Gu Hyung-jin’s body heavily pressed down on the surroundings.
“Elder Gu….”
Oh Jin-kyung was showing a troubled expression.
Gu Hyung-jin was an elder.
No matter how promising the Great Sea Sword Oh Jin-kyung was in Hainan, he could not easily violate the authority of an elder.
That was silver.
Also, Hainan’s reputation could fall to the ground with just one word from him here.
Oh Jin-kyung was leading the corps, but it could be thought that Gu Hyung-jin had ignored his authority.
It was a touch-and-go situation.
Gu Hyung-jin’s fighting spirit seemed like he would draw his sword and go for Do Mu-seong’s neck right now.
“I’ve come to settle things.”
But Gu Hyung-jin said, erasing his fighting spirit.
It was Hainan’s declaration of war.
