Overgeared

“I don’t know if it is a good idea to send them away without seeing them.”

The Cho King was having a vague communication with the red phoenix, the guardian god of the land. The innate nature of the red phoenix, which existed for the people of the Cho Kingdom, responded to the blood of the Cho royal family. There was even a connection called Grid who acted as a bridge between the two of them.

The Cho King had been helping Grid, so he received the favor of the red phoenix. This brought about a strong vigilance and made him aware that some of the returning soldiers were demons, not human beings. Even so, he simply sent them away. He turned a blind eye to those who suffered from the divinity of the red phoenix flowing through the ground and ran away.

It was due to advice from the Chivalrous Robbers.

“Your Majesty, don’t worry. By now, the leader must’ve beaten them all. He has been digging a trap for a while.”

The Chivalrous Robbers was a group of people. They robbed the assets of some of the people profiting from the power of the yangbans and scattered it to the private sector, and preached the real myths of the East Continent, telling people that the Four Auspicious Beasts were the guardian gods.

There were no great achievements, but more than one or two people had been rescued by them. The Twelve Zodiacs also received their comfort. The achievements of the leader, Hwang Gildong, were particularly great. He made several plans and killed several yangbans returning to the Hwan Kingdom. He also contributed greatly to the recent resurgence of the black tortoise.

The Cho King trusted the Chivalrous Robbers.

“Um... I can rest assured if it is Hwang Gildong himself.”

It was too dangerous for the Cho King to directly subdue the demons. Demons had different individual abilities and this made it difficult to predict what variables would occur. Above all, the warriors of the Cho Kingdom weren’t strong enough to overpower a large number of demons.

On the other hand, Hwang Gildong was a strong person who moved all over the world. The plan to divide the group of demons between two places, the Kaya Kingdom and Pa Kingdom, to isolate them and destroy them one by one, didn’t sound like a lie. Maybe he had destroyed the demons already?

It happened the moment the Cho Kingdom had this thought...

“......?”

The expressions of the Chivalrous Robbers stiffened as they received urgent news from a carrier pigeon.

“What is it?”

The Cho King couldn’t bear to ask what had gone wrong. He was worried that the words would become seeds. He was ashamed of such a heart.

“...It says that something went wrong,” the members of the Chivalrous Robbers gave the worst answer, “There is a possibility that the demons will fall into the hands of the yangbans...”

Agnus was still confident in his skills. His level might’ve dropped significantly, but Lantier grew intensively. Lantier’s fighting power could overwhelm several high rankers alone. Furthermore, Agnus had inherited some of Marbas’ power. This nearly doubled the number of minions he could control at once.

Nevertheless, the reason for his constant failure and defeat was simply because the opponents were bad.

Strength was relative.

Faker was too strong. The skill of using the shadow techniques was great enough to pierce the sky and he freely crossed the barrier of blades set by the undead army like he was moving in and out of his own house. Additionally, his net was always spread out because he used the Overgeared Shadows, whose number couldn’t be estimated. In many ways, their compatibility was bad.
