Chapter 732 - What you see is not all

For the first time in my life, I thought Chief of Staff Bell Sonia was terrible.

He was equally unfavourable to the Elyos in water or land battles.

Even so, the reason she chose her water battle was to filter out her army of Demon Gods.

Seven percent (70%) of the Elyos participated in the battle, but about two percent (20%) of the Demon Gods participated in the battle.

This happened because of the number of ships both sides could mobilize.

If you think about it, you can understand why Bellsonia insisted on water battles.

The problem is Baekriha's terrible environment.

Considering the monsters living in it, the water battle was like walking a tightrope.

If you fall into the river, you will most likely die.

Just like the monsters that boarded the ship of Corps Commander Aktus Balazik a while ago.

The Elyos on the fourteen ships should have met the same fate as the monsters.

The Elyos with the ability would have moved to other Elyos' ships, but there must have been many drowned Elyos.

If you think about it, the water battle was no different from fighting with the backwaters.

That's why I said extreme.

Blaze, the adjutant of the commander of the Western Army, did not answer the Grand Master's question, "Isn't that too extreme?"

There are some extreme points, but at least that's why it's better than athletics.

The track and field battle was so extreme that it would have been devastating to the point where there was no time to think about anything.

Blaze, who was looking for something to say, suddenly raised her head.

The wind feels heavy.

“Daejongssi, don’t you think the wind has changed?”

Only then did Yeonjeokha lift his head.

At the far end of the horizon, dark clouds shimmered.

Yeonjeokha pointed to the horizon and said.

“Dark clouds are gathering. Surely it's not a typhoon?"

“It is highly likely to be rain clouds, but we do not yet know if it is a typhoon or not. It looks like we should avoid going to the port for now.”

Blaze looked at the command ship with perplexed eyes.

It was not an easy task to escape to the port in the middle of the water battle.

The flag that went down didn't come back up right away, probably because Bellsonia, the general staff, was also worried.

The demons too belatedly discovered the dark clouds and were confused.

The war naturally stopped.

The wind came before the dark clouds.

The anchor, resting comfortably on the mast, swelled in the wind.

At the same time, the calm surface of the water began to stir violently.

Now anyone could tell that the wind and dark clouds were unusual.

Only then did a black flag rise on the command ship.

Then the sound of the horn sounded loudly.

Woo-woo-woo-woo-.

The ships waiting for the command ship's instructions turned their bows toward Okcheon Port.

Dark clouds at the far end of the horizon came up to the bottom of my chin.

Wheein-!

The wind had turned to a gale before I knew it.

If this continues, the ship will be sunk not by the demon's fleet, but by the rising waves.

Thirty ships hurriedly moved to Okcheon Port.

The Demon God's fleet could not resist her natural power and withdrew to the direction of Sacheonpo.

Okcheon Port.

The ships of the Elyos returned to the harbor at dusk.

As soon as the ship docked at the port, it rained with strong winds as if waiting.

Wheein-.

Shoot aaaaaaaaaa!

The Elyos and sect masters went back to their lodgings, and the sailors ran around busily shouting loudly.

They anchored the ships in the harbor and linked them together to reduce damage.

triangulation.

Representatives of the two races gathered in the Triangle Hall where the Grand Master Yeon Jeok-ha is staying.

It is to share the results of the award contest and check tomorrow's award contest.

Bellsonia, the chief of staff, reported in a calm tone.

“Allies' damage is as follows. Five large wooden ships, five medium wooden ships, and four iron ships were sunk or hijacked by the enemy. Damage to the remaining ships is minor enough to be repaired in port. And the number of enemy ships sunk was observed at twenty.”

She did not reveal the number of casualties among the Elyos.

It was omitted because it would not be helpful for humans to find out.

In any case, Bellsonia, who had finished reporting the results of the water fight, looked around the audience and continued.

“They said that the typhoon came from July at the earliest. Judging by the strength of the wind, it seems to be a typhoon. For a day or two, even the Demon God's fleet won't be able to come out of Baekriha. In the meantime, we plan to repair the damaged ship in preparation for the next water battle. I would like to ask you to put more effort into requisitioning ships. Oh, Mr. Gok Union, how many more ships have you requisitioned now?”

“Three ships.”

“You said ten more ships were possible before, but is it impossible?”

“To say ten ships was an unreasonable shame. There is no place to squeeze more. This is because all the ships have already crossed the Muryang River.”

Yeon Jeok-ha, who had been listening to the two of them, interjected.

“Song union. I heard that the enemies of Sacheonpo are building ships. Can we not build ships?”

“All the engineers involved in the construction of ships evacuated. Sacheonpo was made by catching dwarves. It would have been possible if we had hired an engineer early on, but it is too late now.”

“Because it’s difficult to find technicians who have evacuated?”

"That's right."

"Isn't there no other way than requisition?"

“Yes, but the requisition seems to have come to an end. There are no ships left nearby.”

Yeonjeokha turned her gaze to Bellsonia.

“I see. It seems difficult to requisition more ships. How long are you planning to do the water fight?”

Bellsonia, who was silent for a moment, replied.

“As you can see, the difference in power between the two sides is huge, so I plan to keep the water fight going for as long as possible.”

“As long as possible, when? Aren't there standards though? Isn’t it difficult to fight on the water without a boat?”

“I plan to do it until our ships drop below twenty.”

“Are you almost done?”

Bellsonia bit his lip at the words of the younger brother.

The Elyos have thirty-three ships, including those they requisitioned, but the Demon God still has eighty ships.

Only 80 ships went back, and the number of ships completed in the meantime must be considerable.

So, maybe the next award match would be the last.

“Fortunately, I think the direction of the war will be decided in the next water battle. The Grand Master killed Aktus Balazik, the corps commander today, so next time the demon will come out. If Grand Master kills the Demon God, his demons will not be able to hold out any longer and will return to the Demon Heaven.”

The meeting hall was enveloped in strange heat.

It's clearly a disadvantage, but listening to Bellsonia's words, it doesn't seem like that.

Certainly, if the Demon God died at the hands of the Grand Master, this war would end.

The Elyos and the representatives of the clans glared at Yeonjeokha with excited faces.

Yeonjeokha, who felt burdened by the eyes of the representatives of the Elyos and clans, walked away.

“Isn’t it possible that the Demon God doesn’t step out directly?”

Then, Bellsonia answered with a delighted smile.

"no. The Demon God himself will step out to avenge the corps commander. Demons are sure of their calculations. It will never fizzle out.”

“… … .”

Yeonjeokha did not refute.

There are things I don't know about the physiology of demons, but for some reason, it seemed like it would go as she said.

Because even the Demon God knows that the success or failure of the war depends on the fight against himself.

If it was a demon god, he might rather try to sort out his ties with himself at this point.

'I'll meet the demon next time.'

Come to think of it, I'm glad the storm started.

Because he did not want to meet Menus without any mental preparation.

Unlike inland typhoons, the typhoons encountered in port cities were strong and destructive.

The typhoon passed in two days, but the aftereffects lasted three days.

There were far more ships damaged by typhoons than ships damaged during surface warfare.

For three days sailors and technicians worked on the restoration.

Fortunately, the damage was greater in Sacheonpo than in Okcheonhang.

Thanks to this, even after the typhoon passed, the Demon God's fleet did not think of crossing for a while.

Sihwa Hall.

Around sundown, I went to visit the Shimtong.

Shim Tong, who was sitting with his upper body leaning against the wall behind the bed, said curtly.

“Do you keep coming back to get something to eat?”

“Even if your mouth is crooked, say it right. I gave it to you, when did you say that you got it?”

“That is what it means. Can I walk around like that before the battle with the Demon God? If Grand Master loses, I will be eaten right away. Be aware of your position and swing your sword one more time.”

“It’s not something that can be solved by swinging a sword for a day or two. You know why?"

“Grunt! It does.”

Then Shimtong was readily acknowledged.

It's because, as he said, she doesn't improve her skills by swinging the sword for a day or two more.

“What does old Sim think of drinking?”

“Is that little girl? My heart skipped a beat just by making eye contact. Don't be fooled by appearances either. Haven't you heard the rumors about the drunk?"

“What rumors?”

"Isn't it said that he plucked out the heart of a demon who was giggling in front of him and ate it?"

"That's the fault of the clucking guy."

"ha! Don't think only of the good side. It's because it's such a poisonous demon."

"I know, I know.”

“Daejongsaengnim, no, Gongjanim. Can you kill the Demon God who appeared in the form of a child?”

“… … .”

Then jeokha was not an easy answer.

He usually sang that he hated women, the elderly, and children, but killing him was different.

Seeing him like that, then Shimtong shook his head.

“Tsk tsk! I knew you would. The bitch who drank was a very scary year. Knowing that Confucius' heart was weak, he must have approached him in that way. Gongja, please calm down. You should go back to Gangho with your wife.”

“I am not stupid.”

“Yes, you are not stupid. It's just a matter of being soft-hearted. I am telling you not to act foolishly at the decisive moment.”

“Are you afraid I won’t be able to kill you? Thousands of words. I'm the one who heard the goblin's voice."

“Yes, don’t forget that heart. Just push through without blood or tears, just like you did when you took revenge in the past.”

“By the way. You have to kill the demon, isn't it the end?"

“What if I don’t kill?”

“You can teach the demon and send it back to the demonic world. is not it?"

Then then Shimtong jumped out.

"oh my! Please! Don't say such stupid things! That kind of thinking is stupid. Would a scolding bitch invade the Savior? Don't you know how many people became prey to the monsters because of that girl? I heard that 1,200 Elyos died this time? It's all because that bitch led the monsters and invaded the Savior. Even if that bitch appears in the form of a child and talks to you, you should think about killing her. Tyler is sending it back!”

“You said it could be, when did you say it would be? What are you forbidding me to say?”

“Confucius! Don't think about mixing words with the devil, just hit and kill him. Only then can Confucius and his wife return to Jianghu. If Confucius is even injured in the middle of the day, we will all perish. Do you understand?”

“Wow! People who know me say that there are more, and that is exactly what it is. Why are you so ruthless?”

“It's not that I'm not human, I'm just telling you not to think that you're going to have a conversation with the demon. Don't you know that what you see isn't everything?"

“Grunt! know. That's what I'm saying.”

What you see is not everything.

That was exactly what Yeonjeokha wanted to say to Simtong.
